Taro Sakamoto vs Goo Kim

Taro Sakamoto received his mission. The Order marked a man for elimination—Goo Kim. A criminal with a chaotic reputation, dangerous not just for his strength but also for his unpredictability. The kind of target that required both precision and brute force.
Now, standing beneath the flickering warehouse lights, Sakamoto rolled his sleeves. His sharp, unreadable eyes locked onto the man before him—dressed in a black jacket, hands in his pockets, smirking like this was all a joke.
Goo tilted his head. "So, they sent an assassin after me? Damn, I must be pretty important." He chuckled, cracking his neck. "Let’s see if you’re any fun before I send you back in a body bag."
Sakamoto remained silent, shifting into his stance. No wasted words—just action.
Then Goo lunged, and the fight began



Sakamoto in his "Joining The Order to Prime" key. Anything above 9-A+ is restricted
Speed is equalized
Location: A warehouse in the middle of a city

Taro Sakamoto:
Goo Kim:
Inconclusive:
 
Goo has Resistance to Analytical Prediction so it's not that easy to catch him, but if he manages to catch him, Sakamoto can literally cut him in half.

On the other hand, Goo can attack Sakamoto's Pressure Points with his sword and can also cut off Sakamoto's arm.

Don't think Goo has a sword here. If he doesn't pick up something resembling a sword fast, he's gonna lose.
 
Seems like a mismatch. 9-A+ comes from either a 0.16 or 0.22 ton feat while Sakamoto seems to scale to 0.02 tons, meaning a difference of 8 to 11x, which is the one-shot distance.
 
He always carries something with him that he can use, whether it's a watch or something else.
He's way stronger with tools but not serious until it's a sword, when he had Xiaolung's spear, he played around with Daniel until Daniel broke the spear in a way which kinda made it resemble a sword, setting Goo off. Thinking back though this wouldn't really affect his durability so it'd be really difficult for Sakamoto to hurt him with the 11x gap.

If Sakamoto catches him, he's finished, but I don't think he can.

Goo honestly might let him without a sword though. Like he doesn't try to get hit but he doesn't seem to actively oppose it either. Goo is a massive prick so if Sakamoto tries, he might allow it because he doesn't care. That's why he kinda needs the sword here, without it, I can't guarantee the win despite the strength gap. I also wonder how they match up in skill, I don't know much about Sakamoto.

When Ui fought Daniel, at first he wasn't serious and Ui Daniel hit him a few times and if he did the same to Sakamoto, Sakamoto could easily tear his arms off.

But Sakamoto never tears off his opponent's arms, he mostly punches or kicks his opponents. Once he throws a few punches and kicks at Goo, Goo will get serious. and he won't need a sword to defeat Sakamoto because he can damage Sakamoto with other tools.
 
#1. Class M (Sakamoto) v. Class 25 (Goo)
#2. A good knife stab will pierce Goo. This isn't 9-C vs 9-A.
this is assuming that Goo isn't landing a single hit on Sakamoto bro. If sakamoto grabs him a single wrong movement from Goo would already cause him major damage. LS ain't shit and Sakamoto isn't even a grappler, he relies on strikes. Since Goo seems to be comparable or superior in skill he will most definitely land a few strikes which is more than what he needs to one-shot.
 
Just read the latest Chapter of Manager Kim and saw Goo cut off someone’s hand with a hair comb
Lmao

I don't think a couple of blows from a way weaker opponent would cause Goo to get serious. It would take a meaningful hit. The thing is, a meaningful hit from Sakamoto would likely mean getting stabbed. Once Goo does get serious would win more likely than not but with Goo's attitude, it's not like this is a stomp.

From what I know of Sakamoto (if I'm wrong correct me), an unserious Goo is not gonna shit on him skillwise. It's genuinely not unbelievable for Sakamoto to get a lethal stab in.

He doesn't have to be mortally wounded to be serious. When he fought Jincheol he was serious but not mortally wounded.

Jincheol just threw a punch and started to get serious.

There's a big ap difference between him and Sakamoto, he can cut his arm off with just a watch.

Yeah this is a huge mismatch. Just because he won't go all out immediately doesn't mean Sakamoto can do anything meaningful in that time with that AP difference.
