Oh boy! Hijiri taught her too well with the same power burst against Okuu before but it seems to be stronger. Kaio-ken x30 anyone!?

The art makes it look like Remilia and Marisa are trading blows in the last panel.

There's only one technique with that stance. And it's...

With all these references, I wonder F.I.A., do you read Kinnikuman?

Yes. Is there something amiss?

I'm starting to think that there might be a possibility of Marissa and Nitori finally burning out... only for Alice and Patchouli to take over the wrestling in a desperate bid to win. This is considered a 2 on 4 match after all.

Nah, just wondering. I'm quite impressed you're able to remember all those move names and references from such a long series, though.

By paralyzing Reimu's crotch, a chance will be created.

I think this is my new favorite line to take out of context.

And Marisa proves that she can do it... she can fly without her broom!... A side effect of Ultrashrooms maybe.

I think she's just jumping.

So, Marisa uses her thirty seconds of power to attack Remilia.

Can I take this as confirmation that a decent Reimu vs. Marisa fight, like I've been hoping for ever since we found out about this matchup, is not going to happen?

Well, duh. It's a given that in 99/100 attempts, no matter how dirty, underhanded, clean, simple, complex plans or straightforward blasting Marisa attempts, she loses. It's just what happens.

At least she stands a chance against Remilia.

I get the feeling that no matter what happens here, this will be Marisa's only match as her stunt will put her in traction for a while, even with Eirin's help. Even if she's still able to fight, her team would have a very hard time against the others as it'll be painfully obvious what Kirisame Familia will do in those cases. But at least no one can deny that they didn't give Red 75% the hardest match they've fought thus far.

Out of the two matches thus far, they're definitely number one.

Well, as clichey as a shounen manga as it is, it has a lot of memorable moments. That, the still ongoing Nisei series, and the PS2 fighting games are enough to keep my memory fresh regarding this series.

When the Scarlet 75% has proposed a 4 on 2 outright from the beginning (and directly contributed to the complaints over missing participants here and there due to two more participants in these limited panels)?

It's never fair when one side doesn't view the other as their equal and whatnot.

I think both of you have misunderstood me. I was hoping to see Reimu fight Marisa (as opposed to something happening that can't be reasonably called a fight--Marisa swinging Patchy to hit Reimu once, for instance, is not a fight). This period of Marisa having her power boosted for thirty seconds would seem to have been the most likely time for that to happen, and it doesn't appear to be happening.

I will say I was hoping for a good Marisa vs Reimu...but this is good too.
I'm also hoping for Miko vs Miko, but eh.

If Red 75% wins this, and faces the Moriya team next, this will likely be the scenario as I'm sure Remilia would like to score some payback on the god that smacked around her sister.

DARN
i wish there was more up :P i can't wait XD

Very much this.

I love this quote; it pretty much is the theme in Tag Dream.

Why would they? They're not equal in the first place. Even after raging Remilia is holding back against them and they still have to keep Reimu chain stunned because they know shes ultra-talented and ultra-intuitive to break all their strategies despite being a 2v4 match.
