Nice looking place, if you don’t mind the warthog mutants. Girii, at least, seems to be fine with them…

Msaka: Those who look human enough stay in this cottage. The volcano takes up most of the island. There's a small village to the south.
Jacob: Msaka, are you leading his army?
Msaka: There is no army, no leader. There isn't any training or organization at all. Frankly, I don't konw why he sent for me. I don't think Fumiaki has a plan.
Enrique: Some of us train. We have a fighting pit. Wanna show up tonight? I'd love to spar with a Genocide Man.
Jacob: I don't spar.
Enrique: You're chicken?
Jacob: Chickens are flighty, eagles are practical.
Enrique: Arm wrestling, then?
Jacob: I concede, pal. I'm strong, but I can see how enhanced you are.
Girii: Um...can I try?

Girii: Um...can I try?
Yeah! Girii, fight the macho mutants!
She’d need an adequate source of emotion – bottled up anger/suspicion?
I must say, Genocide Man is one of my favorite comics of all time. Excellent premise and execution. Also, Girii is beautiful; at one point you implied that Msaka is supposed to be more attractive but I disagree.
He doesn’t spar?
Weird. It’s almost impossible to become good at fighting without sparring.
I guess maybe his sheer amount of practical experience might make up for it, but you’d think he’d get rusty. And you can pick up bad habits if you learn that way.
That macho mutant might just refuse. If he loses to her, that’ll be embarrassing, and if he beats her, just taking her on will have been embarrassing.
Of course, someone who volunteers for warthogness just might be too stupid to realize that …
… or maybe Msaka vouching for Girii means she’ll be taken seriously in spite of appearances?
I read this as he doesn’t fight. He wins. And that usually involves somebody or multiple somebodies dying.
I’ve seen this attitude in several Marines I used to serve with. If you are taught umpteen ways to kill, you don’t get mixed up in bar brawls.
Eli.
What!? Fukami has no plans to take over the world? What’s he going to do, publish his results in a peer reviewed journal? Sell it? What kind of science is that?
Dr Fumiaki doesn’t make plans, he makes breakthroughs.
