how many time am i going to see this ? there are Four damn 4koma about the same damn technique "we hate each other but we can beat Shiki by hitting each other" and Shiki is just a punching ball now. i'm bored, angry and tired of this, just finish this match, i won't be surprised if the immortal team win now.
I know this might go on blank, but this is so easily countered it's not even funny.
Someone as stupidly strong as Eiki-san could just grab the first incoming immortal and use her as a weapon, just like Yuuka used Cirno as a bat against Suwako. Seriously, just grab her by the legs and start swinging her wildly until her head hits something. Repeatedly. Over and over again.
If attacking a single one is giving her openings, then use one to hit the other. She's strong enough for that, and I doubt they could counter that by trying to hit one another or something similar to this.
So far Eiki's acted stupidly predictable, boringly lectured everyone, and been the subject of an extended-into-repetitiveness beatdown that amazes the announcers. Did she interfere with the artist's OTP or something?
Are you guys nuts!? this is what I was waiting for the whole time! I can't stand the fanon Kaguya x Mokou, and for a moment, I was starting to think that even this artist was making them a pair.
But, they're winning by beating the crap out of each other, which was EXACTLY how I was expecting (and hoping) this match would end. The fact that the author did this while still keeping them as enemies / rivals really shows his talent. Stop complaining and enjoy the show. This is simply the finale to the fight. Dare I mention the final barrage of act v of JoJo, where it was several seemingly endless pages of the bad guy being punched over and over mercilessly? This is the same kind of thing. Of course there will be multiple pages of it.

Or like how Kanako used KO'ed Suika as a weapon in Gensokyo Tag Tournament.

It could have been worse: Eiki could have been Sanaelated. But you have a good point, where's all that fury she had a few comics ago?
Steak said: Just imagine it all happening in an action-packed span of 30 seconds. With a roaring crowd and commentary in the background. You'll feel better.
This comic works better when reading them all in a row.

You forget fans in the story as that's not how a Face fights. That and I'd then start hoping they match off against Sanae who will make them friends.

It's hard to rage-pummel when you keep getting hurt in the process, and then have people beat the shit out of you whilst also targeting each other.
And I like the idea of Sanae MAKING them friends. I'd say that's an idle threat, but I'd be fooling myself.

Chill down, bro. FF also were on receiving end of brutal beatdown.
And, well, i guess adherence to rules and laws was supposed to be Shiki's fatal weak point. Once friendly fire started performing confusing manoeuvres HJ pretty much folded. I'mnot much of a KAguya fan, buti have to admit, she makes very clever plans practically on spot.

Or better yet: Team Moriya tries to do this, but ends up re-opening up old wounds two immortals who have hated each other since time immemorial and get caught in the subsequent crossfire and lose as a result.
As much as I enjoy this comic, team Moriya and their godlike finishing move of FRIENDSHIP!!!! is infuriating.
I can't see combination attacks, I see Moku and Kaguya beating the shit out of each other. As a fighter herself, Momiji should be able to tell the difference between combinations and two people brawling.

Thing was that after what happened with Komachi, she put her title on the side; she's just Shiki Eiki. But I suspect Eiki might have a plan... basically letting those two get carried away as to show their real nature as if one didn't know any better, one might say Eiki's the Face and the two Immortals are the Heels. In the worst case, Eiki may lose the battle but win the war.
Karesh said: I know how lax they are with the rules and all, but really? Not once during this whole thing has Aya thought "Wait, this is a tag match isn't it?"
I mentioned that over the la\st few strips, they've broken so many rules they would have been disqualified when they beat the crap out of Komachi.

Keep in mind that for Shiki it's happening in a mtter of seconds, and most of this time she is getting hit by large blunt object (you can't be more blunt than Mokou). Not to mention the attack method is unorthodox at least. And she renounced her position as a judge, not mentality.
I'm lolin' at all the people completely about the plot. Because you know, When you read touhou 4komas like this, you totally shouldn't expect any kind of story. Noooooope.

Plot? NO, we're not expecting that, what we are expecting is deus ex machina victories for all the face teams. Which is both depressing, predictable and fairly annoying when an actually decent team is screwed due to not being faces.
Magus said: Are you kidding? This fighting style is hilariously awesome. If they win, I hope their next match is just as funny.
Such a methoid is a one time deal as other teams would have an idea how to counter it, and these teams would't have easily exploitable weakness or are even tougher (Remilia, the Oni). Not to mention the massive amount of discord could make them vulnerable to Sanae's good girl powers.
But yeah I can't really get mad at them at the moment.
You bitch!A Combo Known as "Rampage"...is aimed at her partner, Kaguya!She grazes and changes trajectory!I don't believe it!Mokou's Mach Pulverizer...One of Kevin Mask's techniquesIt's a direct hit on Eiki!So it was a combo move after all!Hmph!They're not stopping!Episode 688: Can't Quit, Can't StopFrom the Artist's Pixiv page.At first glance, they appeared to have nothing but internal discord!They are unreasonable.To be beaten......right here...But the truth is, they've got incredible teamwork!Their time as a pair is going nonstop!
