eh he had to lose that one due to plot.
i'm taking about the one where he might have won.

A Tadokoro v. Soma shokugeki is being saved for a six-chapter sidestory to break the tedium of the Erina endgame arc.
She just wants him to drink her soup.

Well, things have taken a turn for the worse. Kyoukai did pretty well all things considered, though I wonder whether she killed that officer or managed to capture him (considering the state of the battlefield she was in, the former seem more likely).
Stretch ch21
Wait, what?
It's true though. His deck was riddled with luck-based stuff. He won by plot and lost by plot, basically (like every freakin' duel in the series actually).

After that there's no more duels in the manga with Jonouchi but the anime seens to imply that he actually won against Yugi, since he has his Red-Eyes back.

Fuck that Marik fight
Still annoys me to this day. This actually diminished the impact of Yugi VS Marik. Since Jonouchi could win against Marik, why wouldn't Yugi
(not that there was a chance that he could actually lose)

then again, most people's deck in the first series were basically whatever cards were needed as the plot was called.
they would have never worked as a real life deck

I thought that applies more to pendulum summoning and action duels of Arc-V.

Arc-V now has the cards you need to get as part of the game with the Action cards. Which wouldn't happen in real life anyway since duels will never become active, lol
A lot less than ZeXal's SHINING we're not even going to bother trying to handwave top decking something and make it an actual move now DRAW.
Legend of the Strongest Kurosawa ch1-End
What a ride! It's interesting to see how a disenfranchised middle-aged man managed to carve himself a path towards something more, to achieve something that for which he could be proud of despite all the hardships he came upon at first, and then throughout the whole series. It was truly a journey full of emotions, with at its center a rather unusual protagonist archetype -a ugly, socially awkward and family-less middle-aged man- yet he truly felt human, with human emotions, mood swings, hesitations, but also desperation, determination, and ultimately, pride. Whether you sympathize him or pity him, he somehow felt very much alive, struggling to achieve something, to stand in a world that's crushing him, and ultimately to communicate to the reader the necessity to stand for oneself, to live rather than simply being alive.
As per the course for a Fukumoto work, the manga is full of dramatic metaphors, the somewhat sluggish pacing, but also the ingenuity that desperate people are capable of, the easily distinct art that showcases facial expressions so well, and ultimately, the raw emotion that permeates through it.
Thank you MangaGAF for suggesting it. I think I even like it more than the other Kurosawa. Definitely a recommended read, despite the rather painful beginning.
Edit: Forgot to mention, but that permanent bump on his head is weird.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I had an amusing image of a Pair the Spares ending with Tadokoro and Takumi, mostly just for the prospective DTL reaction.

Isn't it obvious that Tadokoro is the heroine in a love triangle between her, soma, and emoma?

Yes, but Tadokoro isn't going to win. She's either going to get set up with someone else or die a lonesome spinster.

Im quite sure Tadokoro is not in any love triangle here. Soma has never shown any sort of affectionate feelings towards her. He's just being a nice guy to a classmate that just needs some guidance.

Considering I read this like a week ago yeah I will say it's a very good read.
Indeed. I wonder how well the sequel will hold up though, considering how the manga ended. It may sound cliche but I'm hoping for a happier ending.

I really liked the ending and find a sequel unneeded. That being said I cannot judge, as I cannot read it. I should've expected a sequel because FKMT sequels everything

Why do some of you people refer to Ryo with the emo moniker when he's not?
