In this next challenge, the strikers will have the opportunity to train with professional U-20 players from the biggest European leagues. The stakes are higher and the rivalries ever fiercer… Let Phase Two begin!
Sanko’s life keeps getting darker and darker… Dai Dark Vol 8 has the most mysterious chapters yet!
Zaha Sanko’s body has great and terrible powers–they say that possessing his bones will grant you any wish, even the desire to become ruler of the universe. But Sanko is still a teenage dude with his own life, and he isn’t about to let every monstrous lowlife in the galaxy rip him limb from limb. He and his skeletal buddy Avakian will use their dark powers to fend off any murder attempts while they search space for whomever put this curse on Sanko’s bones…because killing them might end the madness.
In volume 8, the whole universe is still out to kill Zaha Sanko and take his bones. Sanko himself doesn’t have a clue what’s going on with all that, but the answers maybe have something to do with a mysterious thing called “Zolar,” which appears when “certain conditions are fulfilled.” Pretty cryptic, but Sanko’s buddy Damemaru thinks he can solve the mystery with the tools in his lab. So they head for the planet where Damemaru parked his ship–only to find that everything and everyone there has vanished, except for an ominous castle…
For fans of underdog stories like Rocky and The Karate Kid! The classic Ashita no Joe: Fighting for Tomorrow is finally available in English!
A young drifter named Joe Yabuki wanders through the slums of Tokyo, but when the local ruffians try to give him a hard time he teaches them a rough lesson with his fists. The spectacle sparks a gleam in the eye of an old drunk who happens to be watching—Danpei Tange, a failed boxer and former coach who sees something special in the boy. He pleads with Joe to train with him off, but the cocky young fighter brushes him. Later, though, when Joe is arrested and put in a juvenile detention facility, he realizes that he’s going to need to hone his raw fighting skills if he wants to survive. Thus is born a partnership that might just take Joe all the way to the top…
In volume 2, after a stunning clash between Rikiishi’s finely honed skill and Joe’s raw, unbridled gift, both are released from Toko Reformatory—but Joe has a lot of catching up to do. His rival is already making waves on the pro circuit, and while Rikiishi has expensive, state-of-the-art training facilities, Joe has nothing but a makeshift gym down by the river. Danpei inspires him to dream of walking back across the so-called bridge of tears and into the limelight, but when the old pug’s reputation catches up with him, it looks like Joe might be shut out of the pros forever…
