Really? I thought this was true in RL. Gymnasts and sprinters have slimmer and sleeker bodies after all. I am not talking about tone, but muscle size. The heavier you are, the slower you generally are. I don't usually see acrobats with body builder bodies. I am just going by logic and conjecture, so please enlighten me if I am mistaken.
Peace.
Sprinters, compared to long-distance runners, generally have a more developed upper body due to the need for upper body balance. Their long distance counterparts have less bulk due to the requirement for endurance over maximum output.
I've seen a snippet of this Muay Thai drama where they reveal that doing excessive bicep curls would limit the explosiveness of your punches, but that may only be slightly more credible than anime.

It's like how heavyweight fighters seem a lot slower than featherweight fighters. Of course there is a huge gap in power and strength (hence the weight divisions) but give the faster guy a knife then that gets negated, which is why I mentioned a difference in fighting styles.

Episode 15 : Is poetry - and it also made Jormungand my n°1 series of the year.
Go watch it, prefer high quality, because it's shiny.
Noooooooo~! Hex! ;_;
Fuck you Renato, you suck.
"Oh my god. Carpet bombing." - Ryllharu, watching that scene.
hu huu hu. ~♥~Koko~♥~
Not only that, but Koko made the CIA shit their pants doing it. That means that she can launch a B-52, have it bomb a target, and land it without the US knowing. That's huge. Tracking an individual with her satellite array is even scarier. I had thought it was somewhere in the Alps, but Hex got all the way to some bolthole in Iraq before Koko decided to strike.
R was right and Hex was wrong. Attacking her was what actually turned Koko into a monster. She's not going to hesitate now after nearly losing Jonah and costing her R. She was willing to forgive him, even though everyone had been convinced that she'd kill any spies she found. That's how much Koko loves the members of her pseudo-family.
I don't know... i think she hangs on to them because they're what's keeping her sane. Her capacity for evil is unmatched, she doesn't seem to have a conscious for anything that happens outside her own inner circle.
I think Hex knew what was to come, the monster is growing everyday and eventually not even her makeshift family will stop her from doing something unthinkable.
Personally i love Koko, her character is awesome, but she's too dangerous. It's all a game to her.
gg - Episode 15
It really sucked that I accidentally spoiled myself into knowing R would die and Koko would bomb someone. (read, known and tried to forget since around the second-last episode of last season)
This episode would probably have had more of an emotional impact if I didn't do that... but anyway, that was cool. It annoyed me that Hex didn't die from R's shot when it looked like they had the same trajectory.

I bet the carpet bombing cost Koko some points. It is probably something like one of the four aces up her sleeve, and she was forced to use it for vengeance.
The scene where Koko was telling R that she was going to keep his betrayal a secret reminded me of the young Koko fearing for her life. I am not sure how much of it was concern for R at that point. Of course, when he actually confirmed that he will save her no matter what, the balance tilted towards the latter,
Peace.
This part was weirdly well animated. Like... extra frames or something.
I saw the fear there as well.. but I thought it was the fear of losing their relationship. Instead of having to confront the fact that R's a spy and how she would have to deal with him, she would rather ignore it and pretend it never happened.Originally Posted by shinta

Miss :3 didn't last very long did she? The whole thing felt like another introductory episode though, very boring.
I wonder who is superior, Koko's obsessed lesbian or Kasper's detached psycho.
Peace.
In terms of battle prowess or bust size?
