Hello, a few months ago a few dozen chapters of the first and third Tough manga were translated for the first time. They contain a decent amount of new P&A/techniques for the cast, and most notably a tier upgrade for the verse. Here is the sandbox, where all changes are outlined (bold power names without hyperlinks = additions to existing abilities).

I'm not going to list out everything on the sandbox cause that'd bloat the hell out of this CRT but:
  • Part 1 Kiichi gets some technique additions, notably precog but mostly mundane stuff but fairly impressive, and a few minor touch-ups to the profile like an addition to standard tactics. The Bosatsuken (an ability known to all nadashinkage users) has been given life (edit: paralysis) manip due to a statement from the third manga.
  • Part 2 Kiichi gets the P&A from tamasuberi/bullet slide (already on his relatives' profiles) which I just forgot to add.
  • Part 3 Kiichi has a few new cool techniques, a few of them inherent to the miyazawa clan as a whole.
  • Kiryu, Seiko and Son-O get Part 1 Kiichi's Nadashinkage stuff, and a few minor things of their own. Most notably Son-O gets a prosthetic leg with a built-in blade and really high stats as optional equipment (to account for the fact that most of his on-screen presence has been before he got it)
  • Ryusei gets a LOT of new stuff, being the protagonist of the new manga. Great AD feats, lots of P&A and techniques and most importantly a second key, where he gets Garcia-28's heart implanted into him, which makes him really damn strong.
  • A few characters get new pictures or quotes.
Ryusei is the big winner today. His new key scales to a 9-A feat performed by the cyber-dog D-51, who is getting a profile because it's funny that a dog is more skilled than 99% of the website. Ryusei's gotten a big amp and D-51 is >> Todar robots who are superior to Kiryu, so this doesn't backscale to almost anyone. Kiichi and G-28 scale to this rating as a possibly rating, because it's stated Kiichi is the only one with the power to match Ryusei (and G-28 matched Kiichi before his death, plus he's the origin of Ryusei's new power anyways). Son-O gets a 9-A rating solely with his new prosthetic leg, which is several times more powerful than his previous kicks and outmatched/blitzed Kiichi (thus also giving it Supersonic+ scaling). I'm aware that there's more scaling information in untranslated material, but I am unwilling to put that on profiles until the fan translation gets there, because I'd like to be capable of properly evaluating it with context.

In addition, here is a calculation blog that adds some support and in particular, a 4-ton LS feat. Kiichi scales to the guy LS-wise and off him does the rest of the cast. Note that while the Hypersonic and Supersonic+ calcs are valid, they're based on untranslated material and won't be applied until fan translations catch up to it.

@SamanPatou you evaluated a crt for this verse like 3 years ago: this legally authorizes me to tag you
 
Sure, this looks good to me

Edit: Not related, but holy shit the anatomy is really ******* good, God damn
 
minor edit, i did find scaling from the 4-ton guy to kiichi, added it to op
 
Appreciate it. Given the verse is unknown and the additions are pretty simple I think I can just apply this.
 
started applying and then had to pause, will resume tomorrow or later today
 
It was way more of a pain in the ass to apply than I thought it would be, but it's done.
