From a pin to a counter pin thanks to the "Foot Of God"(TM).

Oh snap!

And there goes the right foot.

Did not see that coming at all. All I can say in this situation is Yeahh!!!! ^_^

Keep it up you two!

Well I was Kogasa'd.

at least there won't be a peach bomber combo anymore (maybe..), but Sakuya should be hurting right now, being an human. And.. yet another Okuu save. Why can't everyone else be as good as her at such critical times?

Suika, Okuu has interfered. You're free to do whatever you want with Okuu and Tenshi now, or else you'll lose.

This will work, too.

That is the first time this comic has made me yell "Holy crap!" since..... EVER. I was convinced Sakuya had it won.

That's some pretty fast thinking there Okuu.

You go Okuu! My faith was not misplaced.

Though I hope Satori and Koakuma didn't get hit by that. Last I saw Satori, she was watching from under the ropes.

I lost my faith in this battle at episode 959, but, in this episode I have restored all of my faith in Heavenly Sky Team :D

And this is why Okuu is best support. :D

Wait, why wasn't this time-stop-countered?

Maybe everyone is underestimating her too much? In exchange everyone else are usually dominating in other times.

That was awesome! Good job, Okuu! And now it's Tenshi's turn. Show her what you got!

And there's one thing that has escaped me, even after a giant Suika and now this God Stomp, THE RING STILL STANDS(albeit a little shaken up)!!!
No crying Kappas in a match with the Heavenly Sky!

And hell no is this over, I won't accept it to end here. Where is my DOUBLE PANEL!? Ain't no match ending without a DOUBLE PANEL!!

How?
Sakuya can't cancel the impact from the ring and she also didn't see it coming, and Tenshi's grabbing her which can't be countered with the time stop.

Now let's see if Sakuya can take it as well as she can dish out.

What you don't see is Suika performing the exact same manuever to Okuu off-panel.

It's alright. I have full faith in Sakuya and her plot armor.

Naw, from the looks of it, the ring collapsed.

Who knows? It's hard to tell if the Liger Bomb was on the mat or outside the ring. Either way, that's gotta hurt and is definitely a "holy shit" moment.

Yeah, the imaginary crowd in my head is going crazy!

Well, whoever wins this match will have earned it now.

she can't, actually it would be a viable strategy to repeatedly slam her against the ground (as long as said "ground" has the effect of the barrier, whose property is, iirc, to reflect the impact back to the object that caused it), which was why Sakuya had to turn her parrying off when Tenshi slammed her in the ground for the first time.

glass-cannon types aren't uncommon at all.

btw I hope Okuu has really broken her foot now, because of the recoil from the ring :V

YEA-HAH!!! FUCK YOUR COUNTDOWN, AYA!!!

Once in a while. Clever!
