Joe's fear hax ain't doing shit. Yu lost to J cause he got that social influencing that lets him comfort the suffering of others. He wasn't scared, he was pushing away the light he was chasing all this time.
He looked pretty scared in my opnion, but even if that's isn't the case, this still shows that Yu stil is succeptible to social influencing,
Yu has terrified his opponents to the point where they'd run out of the ring and constantly puts psychological pressure on them.
Can you show me an instance of this happening, Because i can show you Joe doing this, He
scared Inagaki to the point of desperation, was able to
make Harimau tremble in fear and run away from him.
Literally just like Shiha Lee who is also a cold calculating computer-like guy who still considers Yu to be completely and utterly different boxer when it comes to level of power.
Can you show feats of him
Willpower? I already said that Yu has beaten people with immense willpower like Takeda who survived through Yu's storm of punches even though he himself couldn't land a hit and Yu exhausted him too even though the guy does more than 10x training than a training regime that exhausts athletic boxers, and he does it casually.
Takeda's willpower can't even hold a candle to Joe's. Joe literaly can take horrible
beatings and continue to fight, he can stand up and keep fighting after getting hit by devastating attacks time and time again to the point of exhaustion
through sheer determination alone. He was able to keep fighting while
unconscious multiple times during the series. He
was able to overcome his psychological trauma of attacking up high through
sheer willpower alone. Joe
was able to stand up after taking Yong-bi Kim's chom-chom technique, a technique that no boxer was able to stand up after receiving it. Joe was able to keep fighting after taking a beating
that would render any human's physical and psychological state destroyed, he was even
able to beat Kim,
despite having no stamina left on his body, due to
the grueling weight loss he had while preparing for this fight (While trying to lose weight for the fight
Joe refused to eat and drink for dangerously long periods,
even going so far as to pass out in a hot sauna just to shed the extra pounds). His willpower is strong enough to overcome his
advanced punch-drunk state, something that
defied even medical knowledge. In his fight against José Mendoza, Joe was able to fight against José, while severely punch drunk and
blind of an eye,
Joe was even dominating the fight during the last round despite being practically dead, José was even convinced that he was fighting a
dead man or a
outright ghost. Yu never fought anyone with this level of willpower.
Joe ain't screwing with Yu's perception since his perception is slowed down and he'd see any trick he tries to pull. Unless it's outright supernatural illusion creation it isn't gonna work on a guy who sees every punch flying his way in slow mo to the point where he is bored.
Well Joe's Perception Manip is kinda of supernatural in a way, he
Could hit Jose Mendoza multiple times despite
Mendoza being completely sure that he was dodging his punches, in this panels we can even
see Joe's arm clrearing missing José's head, yet a panel later we found out that José was actually hit. I think people sometimes overestimate Yu's perception too much, the series never go into full detail on how exactly works, and there's people that says that even if a guy is equally fast or faster than Yu he sttil would be able to hit because of his "perception" sometimes this really sounds like NLF.
I also have yet to see scans of Joe dealing the so called slow mo users and adapting to blitzing someone.
I don't know what you mean with slow mo users but here's Joe
getting blitzed by Aoyama, and later in the fight,
Joe is the one doing the blizting. oh Joe
afterimage creation will also help him bypass Yu's perception.
Yu still isn't strong enough to knock Joe out Anyways and since Joe has demonstrated better feats of stamina and the ability to fight
without any stamina at all, he should beat Yu down eventually.
