I Punch Yujiro Hanma to Tears

A combat-sports otaku transmigrates into the world of Baki. With the [Pain Evolution System], he can rapidly evolve and grasp the essence of an attack simply by enduring nonlethal blows. Combined with his gift of "trash talk," he sets out to turn his fortunes around. When he first enters Tokyo's underground arena, he earns a reputation as the "Trash-Talking Punching Bag King." He provokes opponents into attacking with all their might, then secretly learns the basics of their fighting styles. To grow stronger, Lin sticks to Kaoru Hanayama as a sparring partner, evolving through the torment of his crushing grip. He challenges Retsu Kaioh and learns "qi" and martial arts. He deliberately gets himself imprisoned so he can provoke Oliva and build his strength. When he encounters the prehistoric Pickle, he comes to understand the instincts of the wild. He's both a fighting fanatic and a self-appointed "CP matchmaker," pairing Retsu with a nurse, Hanayama with Misaki, and other couples. Even after getting beaten black and blue time and again, he never loses his enthusiasm. After witnessing Yujiro Hanma's absolute power, Lin sets his ultimate goal. He persuades powerful fighters like Retsu, Jack, and Oliva to form a "sparring team," using himself as a testing ground to combine the finest techniques from every school. At last, in the showdown at the Tokyo Dome, Lin unleashes "All Things as One," a technique that fuses the essence of every fighter, and defeats Yujiro as the embodiment of "all the possibilities of humanity." Even after he's recognized as the strongest, Lin announces that he'll become the "sparring team's captain" and the "matchmaker of the fighting world," leading the strong to train the next generation and bring new couples together. From an unknown face in the underground arena to a legend of the fighting world, he forges a one-of-a-kind story with his trash talk and perseverance, amid both fiery battles and warm everyday moments.
