Description: | Kohinata Minoru is a college student at a college that is popular for its sports rather than academic orientation. He starts out as a gymnast alongside his friend, Nana, but is bullied by his gymnast seniors. One evening, a karate student at the college, Mutou Ryuuji, witnesses Minoru being bullied and comes to his rescue and drags him into the world of karate. Minoru makes new friends and learns some of their dark pasts, including a shocking death that reveals motives for revenge. (from Baka-Updates) |

I suppose i should be thankful if Minoru comes out alive at this point though. >_>
How the hell can he even STAND with broken ribs?!
Not only that, he also has MC super-powers!
=^^=
Thanks for the excellent points, I was just about to point those things out myself.
@badadsss,
I never argued the possibility that any green belt is capable of beating any black belt, but that a green belt may beat a black belt. The former would be far too unrealistic, as that would mean that any green belt would be capable of taking down a 10th dan--which I just don't see happening since that's as far as seniority in belt ranks will carry you. As AlterReality stated, there are 4th graders who have been exceptional in their studies, and have moved on to College-level courses, however. Which is the same in the case of Minoru. Consider the tools he has--purunporoppe pointed them out. Then consider his experiences: training with Mutou, fighting with a kendoka, fighting in a death match against a man many times his size and weight (who was also doped up on PCP, which, if you didn't know, makes you monstrously resistant and extremely strong), and fighting against higher level belts in the tournament. That's invaluable experience that challenged Minoru to step up his game, get tough, and get creative.
He's learned, grasped, and grown far beyond his time-limited rank as a green belt.
Having practised different forms of martial arts for a while, I can say that in saying
"As a karate practioner myself (green belt btw) me or any other green belt beating a black belt is unthinkable."
you either haven't been reading the manga carefully, or you're just very inexperienced.
Minoru is a green belt, but one who started with a strong acrobatic base, and learned very quickly under special training with Haruka and Mutou, and even more importantly he's had a lot of live fighting/sparring experience (armed 3rd dan kendouka, crazy American soldier named Kevin) to back up his knowledge of 'fighting'. He's a green belt because most karate schools in Japan promote based on time spent learning for basically everyone with a 'kyu'. It's a bit more serious once you reach 'dan', but as 'kyu' as long as you've put in the years you'll get the belt.
i.e. Minoru has only trained with Kaburagi the amount a green belt would have, but he's learned a lot outside of it. He's easily beyond the normal level of a green belt. (Actually, realistically even average 2nd and 3rd dan karateka would have trouble in a real fight, so Minoru really is quite a step above normal green belts).
