Ch.245S-Rank

After the point of view controversy broke out.

The community quickly wrote their opinions as if they had been waiting for this moment.

[The key to this Kim Donghu match seems to be generational change]

-Current heavyweight champions’ average age is early thirties

-Kim Donghu is in his early twenties, so it’s a generational shift

ㄴDo you think a 1st round KO was possible because of this?

ㄴYeah obviously, with Kim Donghu’s size it’s guaranteed

ㄴWhat’s real is, in the highlights you can see Kim Donghu looking slightly confused in round 2

ㄴAh I know, like “Huh? Is this all the durability he has?” kind of feeling

ㄴBut if Kim Donghu devours all heavyweights, won’t that prevent generational change?

[Why the generational change talk above is bullshit]

-Can you name any boxers in their early 20s besides Kim Donghu?

-It’s not generational change, Kim Donghu is just a singularity

-Know what you’re talking about

ㄴWTF are you saying?

ㄴI agree I agree

ㄴHe really is an irregular

ㄴOne thing’s for sure, we know who’s #1 on Earth

[Collection of epic moments from today’s highlights]

(Video of Edward hanging on the ropes after the signature combo)

ㄴFix your encoding before posting

ㄴI can see it just fine lol

ㄴBut he did hold back a bit when he planted that last punch to the heart

ㄴHe really threw some punches softly because he was afraid of killing him

ㄴEdward wasn’t known for great durability among heavyweights anyway, though I don’t know what he thinks lol

ㄴHe had good footwork, his style was pressuring with those movements circling the ring

ㄴBut then he met this bull-like guy;

ㄴHis form is seriously insane

ㄴIs he confirmed as boxing GOAT now?

ㄴThis could be controversial

ㄴThe KO records Kim Donghu is creating are at an absurd level

[This match estimated to have at least 200 million viewers]

-Considering his fame, this is an insane number

-Usually 100 million would be amazing, but this is double that

-A legendary event has occurred

ㄴTarzan is making bank again because of this

ㄴIs it you again? The Great Donghu

ㄴYes brother, you always prove yourself

[Is there a summary of the victory interview?]

Q. I heard a rematch is scheduled?

A. I could do it tomorrow if Edward is up for it.

Q. When was the most dangerous moment?

A. There wasn’t one.

Q. You made a bold prediction about unifying all organizations. Do you think it’s possible?

A. Didn’t you watch today’s match? If not, I hope you go watch it.

Q. What does this victory mean to you?

A. It’s the first step toward heavyweight unification.

Q. You perfectly mimicked your opponent’s movements in the first round. Why?

A. I wanted to show the difference in our levels.

Q. Will you repeat the same behavior in the next match?

A. As much as needed. I’m a boxer and an entertainer who makes people happy. Their entertainment is my top priority.

Q. That’s an impressive answer. You seem to really care about your fans. Is there a reason?

A. I exist because they exist. I always keep that in mind.

-Here’s the summary

ㄴThe Great Donghu

ㄴGod Donghu

ㄴHnnng Donghu, Dong-bros write for meee

ㄴMmm Kim Donghu you only do things that heat up my lower body

ㄴShin Yerim was his manager lol

ㄴ”We promise to stand with you even if the whole world turns its back” lololol

Not just community reactions.

News articles also connected everything to Kim Donghu.

“Unexpected bull market? The Kim Donghu effect?”

“Kim Donghu controlled his strength?! Opponent suffered no major injuries”

“Take a number: Companies desperate to work with Kim Donghu”

“Experts refuse to analyze: ‘He lives in a different dimension from us,’ extreme honorific!”

“Unexpected storm in boxing world: Who will surrender their belt to Kim Donghu first?”

“Economic impact of this match literally makes you say ‘billions'”

It couldn’t be helped.

Not mentioning Kim Donghu at this point would be like:

‘Knowing the winning lottery numbers but not buying a ticket.’

It would be a sin as a journalist.

While Kim Donghu was receiving all this attention from the world.

Currently, Kim Donghu was:

“This way is definitely a bit challenging for me too.”

Catching up with people he hadn’t seen in a long time.

+++++

After the match.

Meeting VIPs, engaging in appropriate talk, giving autographs.

As soon as I finished all scheduled activities:

“How did you come all this way?”

“Of course I had to come support you! That’s basic, just basic!”

I caught up with people who came from Korea to see me.

After being in America for about a year,

I was really happy to see everyone’s faces again.

And of course, during this process:

“Donghu, you were really cool!”

Sujin and:

“I, I… I don’t know what to say… you were too cool.”

Jaerin.

“Thank you for making me Jane.”

I met Evelyn, and:

Since everyone’s schedules were flexible,

I enjoyed leisurely dates with each person.

“Your stamina is insane, isn’t it? Kim Donghu! Are you really the same person who just finished that match?”

Sometimes I got scolded.

“Is this enough to pass as a bride? My… husband having too much stamina is… difficult.”

I heard concerns.

“No matter, no matter if I’m Jane… I mean, this must be Jane’s d-difficulty? That… like that…”

I heard surprise.

“Really… how can you do this again like before the match? Continuously? For four hours?”

Finally, hearing something like praise.

I perfectly completed all my scheduled activities.

‘But doing this for a whole week does affect my stamina….’

Surprisingly, contrary to my prediction that I would be exhausted after these activities:

‘…I have energy to spare?’

My body was somehow maintaining an even better condition than during training.

While I was wondering how my body was designed this way:

Knock knock knock.

“May I come in?”

“Yes, please enter.”

A knock interrupted my thoughts.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Donghu.”

“It has indeed been a long time.”

The person knocking was the Japanese film industry master, Director Kiryu Sota.

It wasn’t a sudden meeting.

Director Kiryu Sota was at the VIP gathering.

We had a brief conversation then and set up this meeting.

“I’m sorry for bringing up movie talk right after your boxing match.”

“Not at all, it’s fine. My roots are as an actor after all.”

“…Thank you for saying that.”

Haha.

Director Kiryu awkwardly laughed and took out carefully preserved documents from his leather bag.

To be precise, not documents but:

“This is the script I mentioned. A script that… only you can perform.”

A screenplay.

“Musashi… that’s written here. It’s a very simple title.”

“Yes, I didn’t feel the need to express anything more.”

Musashi.

The Musashi people imagine.

And the Musashi recorded in actual history.

When I naturally asked which one would be made into a film:

‘Definitely the former.’

I thought he was trying to make a film about the character from fantasy.

While I was thinking this, Director Kiryu continued:

“It’s a role that… only you can play.”

A Korean playing Musashi.

This would be even harder than an Asian playing Tarzan.

To make a comparison:

‘It’s like a Japanese person playing General Chuk Jungkyung?’

Yet he strongly insisted only I could do it.

I wondered why.

Setting aside my curiosity, I picked up the script.

The first thing to check was the rating.

But:

<Musashi, S>

“…?”

There was a rating I’d never seen before.

S?

There’s a rating higher than A?

And what does S mean for a Japanese film?

As numerous questions exploded in my mind:

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Messages from Sims arrived as if on cue.

I asked the director to excuse me while I checked my phone.

-[It’s been a while! How have you been?]

Along with this long-awaited greeting:

-[“Masterpiece that will overturn all Japanese film rankings, <Musashi> – Is the protagonist Korean?”]

The future message clearly explained what the S rating meant.

‘This film will become Japan’s highest-grossing film?’

Is that even possible in Japan, a country known for animated films?

Unable to contain myself any longer, I grabbed the script and:

‘Immersion.’

I entered the script.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The first thing I heard was the sound of sharp metal clashing.

And filling my vision:

“Dieeeeeeee!”

A battlefield full of cold weapons.
