you know, despite being anticlimatic, I am really hoping Mokou just walks up to Aya and tells her she forfeits. If Mokou didn't realize how much Keine means to her by now, I don't know what would take to make her realize that.

Well she could always try to win for the only person that is backing her up and cheering for her. It wasn't like she was out of energy but out of will, and since Keine is up again, chances are that Mokou will try one last time to stand against the odds like she did before, since she got back that single cheer that let her go on in a sea of mistaken opposition.

Obviously the possibility of bailing out are still there, but if they don't, at least, make the Victory of Hourai bittersweet, like completely winning the crowd or something, i don't think it would be fair enough for the sake of keeping the Kinnikuman base of fair wrestling.

This has been really drawn out. Feels like forever. Should have ended it with the Milky Way Train, but no, Eirin had to step in and perform a bunch of lame nerve attacks.

would it be considered weird that manly tears are starting to well up from reading these last few pages?

I'm ready for this fight to end. I don't care who wins anymore.
