Daniel needs to use this body to its full potential and find all the secrets to it, cause this body is full of mastery and mystery... ✌️ The only possible key to defeat Kitae, James and the great evil...

And yeah I will be taking James Lee's abilities and shi... ✌️😩

My general thoughts on this was just meant to show that PTJ loves these perception-flip chapters before the counter momentum happens... But some people really hate... Although they know that this is a PTJ writing style.

I commented this somewhere... What do tall think?

Well I read the chapter and must say, James Lee taking a hit from the Fighting geniues, doesn't invalidate the fandom's statement "The Strongest"...

Because what you see here is a similar or common pattern PTJ uses, so structurally, PTJ always uses these brutal cliffhangers as a bait & switch... James likely allowed tthis so said overextension to set up a lethal counter-attack... 100%...

That's my comment on it from one perspective...

And another perspective would be, about how intelligence struggles against pure and unpredictable instinct, one like Tom's to be exact.

So we know Tom represents the peak of Generation 0's wild animalistic brutality, just like Eli does with 2nd Gen.

So even someone like James can't out-think a chaotic blitz in a split second... Because they are just unpredictable and James got caught by that raw stats of Tom but his intellect will dictate how he recovers next chapter.

And I am all more for the latter tbh...

Sorry to say this because I love James, but for someone like Tom, he absolutely walked James down this chapter. For a moment, it genuinely felt like James lost that untouchable aura he had in the last chapter.

But underneath all the raw action, the chapter feels very intentional with how it plays with perception. As usual, PTJ drags the story out by hyping up one character at the cost of another, sometimes even sacrificing their reputation or character depth in the process.

It feels like PTJ is purposely flipping the usual power dynamic here, showing the brutal overwhelming force of Generation 0 crashing into the more refined monsters of the current era. Which honestly makes me think this is just build-up for the opposite later on, eventually proving the new generation surpassed the old one.

Now that’s about the fight itself.

Then there’s Little Daniel… or rather, the complete refusal to show him. Another PTJ move to keep readers hooked the entire chapter while technically revealing nothing. Ngl, the James fight genuinely made me forget about Daniel for a while.

Also, Tom Lee has insanely high battle IQ.

I still think James is going to pull something off and somehow beat Tom Lee.

What do y’all think?

I have got a bunch more but they are just sketches too... But what yall think? Anything easy to train with?

Reminder I am shit at coloring.

While rereading chapter 367 I noticed something and it made my mind click we’ve been looking at Taesoo completely wrong...

Though he has a unique skill (Ultimate Fist) now but that’s not enough now days... You need a path to reach the levels of top of top tiers.

Taesoo actually had one of the clearest paths in the series, so we know how everything about him was built on one idea, fighting with his right hand... With it he conquered and protected and did all his deeds.

So what I need you to understand is it is not just a fighting style… but a belief he never questioned... Until he fought James.

But the belive he had was also a conviction, and that’s what a key to path is in Lookism.

Taking one thing and pushing it to the extreme without ever wavering... With your conviction.

And Taesoo was doing exactly that from the start, but later on in the future when he fought James again.

That’s where it breaks... Or long since before that but anyway...

Instead of going all-in on what made him strong and unique, a path no other one had, he starts trying to compensate and adjust and by adjusting he added more to himself than was necessary.

That’s the moment he steps off his path, the moment he used his second hand... He went against his Conviction. As Jaegwang stated.

Well now, one might may say but two hands are stronger than one but this topic here is not because he got weaker physically but because he stopped trusting the thing that defined him, we saw in Jinyoung flashback, Garp stood up to what he believed and protected but Taesoo MA... Didn't protect what he believed in.

And once that happend, everything collapsed, he strayed away.

He even admits it himself in a way, he didn’t just change his fighting style, he changed who he was, meaning his belief.

That’s why the second loss is much worse than the first.

Because it’s not just a defeat… it was a proof that he abandoned the one thing that could’ve carried him further... Conviction/Belief.

So in conclusion... My boy Taesoo didn’t fail to reach a path, but he indirectly walked away from it.

So first points to make Eugene and his twin aren't the type to get written off like that

Second Daniel’s story is nowhere near done.

Now what makes more sense?

They didn’t die, they got taken out of Seoul.

If the current carries them to Jeju, that lines up perfectly... New place, new power system and a clean way to introduce the King of Jeju without forcing it into the current chaos.

But I know Jeju is far... The at least the shore takes them to where the king of Jeju is at least.

And the plot Can go on without them, while everyone thinks they’re dead… so now James and Kitae move freely... Without their biggest threat... There might also be conflict between James and Kitae after this.

However remove them from the board then let everything go crazy and then bring Daniel and Eugene with his brother, smarter and stronger.

That’s what this feels like....

I call this new art, The Last Lesson because lightning Choi's death isn’t just an ending for Choi but it’s also a message to Lineman. With lightning's death, now there’s no more guidance left after that, no corrections and no second chances.... just the weight of what was left behind... The dance... So I was thinking in a way, his death becomes the final thing he teaches, forcing the student to understand on his own, to carry it forward without him... He know must perfect the fighting style and that’s what makes it feel like a lesson.

You are now alone Lineman... But the Lookism fandom is always with you anyway.
