He may be obnoxiously beefy health-wise, but considering he clearly never stopped his heavyweight training and Ichi just finished an 18 year stint in the clink for murder a month or so before this, I’d say that makes pretty good sense. Playable storytelling is important.

[@FatherOfPhoebe]

Being a heavyweight wouldn’t really make you immune to this kinda damage, but in reality anyone he hit would pretty much instantly be unconscious or brain damaged

Ya i think it’s called god’s right hand. Ichi’s hero class has a move that basically gives you re-raise so you won’t get an instant game over but if you dont have it up you can be screwed. Tendo starts using god’s warning at 50% hp which i think if you damage him enough it will cancel god’s right hand, but once he hits 1/4 hp he can use god’s right hand every turn. There is a perfect guard timing for it but obviously it’s difficult and risky to learn
