Alais Puns

First of all I have a limited acquaintance about martial arts, Baki and the life story of Mohammad Ali, so if I am forgetting to point out or understand some detail please help me understand what that detail is.

Mohammad Alai Junior and Senior are presented in the last episodes of the Most Wanted Death Row Convicts saga as being, besides a clear homage to Mohammad Ali, the apex of boxing and what a boxer is capable of, not only that, but it is hinted that they practice through Mohammad Alai's Boxing Style the evolution of boxing and what contributes to this is the way Alai Jr. finishes off his opponents in the tournament arc that he attends and also two of Baki's former rivals: Gouki Shibukawa and Doppo Orochi, but this is where everything starts to go wrong.

Until then, Alai Jr. is an exceptional fighter, a guy convinced of his ability (and rightly so) who aims to be the best and who also wants to fuck Baki's girlfriend, a very interesting character who seems to have the potential to be Baki's rival. But then he gets beaten up in his second meeting with Gouki Shibukawa and Doppo Orochi, and fights Baki and again gets beaten up, all this over the course of 3 days, the beating is so bad that Ali Jr. loses the will to fight (which is pretty stupid), and after being beaten up by the best fighters in the world, and having his fighting spirit broken, he gets beaten up by his father too.

And then a character that had potential and charisma to be an interesting rival (since Yujiro Hanma is more like a final boss than a recurring rival), gets beaten until he turns into a completely different character which in my point of view was very stupid and silly.

Do you really think that Mohammad Alai Jr is stronger than Doppo just because he won this duel in a sporting way? Sure, Doppo underestimated him, but if they were to fight again now, I'm convinced Doppo would win. What is your opinion?

currently on the raitai tourny arc on netflix. Muhammed alai said he met yuujiro 30 years ago but according to the wiki yuujiro is only 37

????? was this man a 6'2 martial arts expert at 7??

So this is the gorgeous Alai Darwaza, built as an extension of the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque by perhaps one of the most controversial figures in Indian history - Sultan Allaudin of the Khilji tribe. Alauddin grew up in a fast-changing world, where his uncle had overthrown the so-called Slave Dynasty in the Khilji Revolution. He expanded his uncle's realm far to the south, exploiting the religious fervour of his Muslim officers and plundering many of the great Hindu temples in order to fund a coup d'état. Alauddin then returned to Delhi, murdered his uncle and crowned himself as the new ruler of Sultanate-e-Dehli.

And then the Mongols invaded. In a single generation, these nomadic horsemen had expanded their empire from the Mongolian steppe to the edge of Japan and Burma in the south, and west to Hungary and Palestine. Now they were sweeping across the Indus River in vast numbers. What followed was one of the most extraordinary military campaigns pretty much ever, which culminated in a Lord of the Rings-style battle, the breaking of a dam, and the drowning of most of the Mongol army. By 1306, he had decisively beaten the Mongols on the banks of the river Ravi, and within a few years, it was Alauddin who was invading the Mongol territory.

To top off an already insane life, he then annexed half of southern India, survived an assassination attempt by a Mongol leader, and then went on a campaign of ethnic cleansing - massacring 30,000 Neo-Muslim Mongols who had settled in his sultanate.

And then to celebrate, he built this really pretty doorway.

Been living here for almost a decade now and I quickly fell in love with the beer, but over the years I've noticed the quality drop massively. No matter if it's a bar or store it seems to taste off, wasn't sure if they modified it or started producing more of it and it's not fresh when I get it.

Now im not much of a powerscaler because fightts, especially in the real world, are determined by style and tactics, but Jr’s bouts with Doppo and Goki bother me. Why why he able to beat them both with relative ease first time round but was absolutely crashed in his rematches? I know he was injured but this is Baki we are talking about, people heal their injuries by training.

Did Doppo and Goki not take their fights seriously, thats what I thought but thats not like them and its not like Jr grew weaker in that time but he genuinely appeared to be slower.

Does anybody know or is this just another baki thing where you can interpret as you want?

Hi all- hoping someone can help me out. I think this arguably one of Keith's finest performances and just a fantastic all around show. The whole summer 1974 tour is really fantastic, fwiw.

Can someone let me know what Keith is playing? Is it just his Fender Rhodes electronic piano? Thanks!

I see everyone calling him a jerk or a simp but I don’t understand why… He just wanted to become strong and was genuinely attracted to Kozue. You can’t really blame him for that right? He got destroyed by 3 different people and on top of that his dad wanted to fight him when he had basically no working limbs. why does everyone say he’s such a bad guy?

Both at they're prime Who win?

Okay, after my last post it seems like the consensus is that Sikorsky loses to Alai. With that being stated, how does Gaia stack up?

Simbu was 19/20 when they shot the film. I noticed that I could see a lot of dancers and generally very talented boys at that age in places outside of Tamil Nadu (Toronto, UK, etc.) Simbu is a very talented actor, dancer, and singer but watching this movie made me realize that if any of these boys that live outside of Tamil nadu wanted to pursue a career in acting, it would take them YEARS to be successful, if ever. Being born in the family he did, Simbu was blessed with the opportunity to grow into a very successful actor very early in his life. It is heartbreaking to think that some people with the same talent will never get the same opportunities. Again, Simbu is very talented but talent is not enough to be successful.

would our boy have a chance?

Who would Win?
