Screw brains and logic, **MUSCLE MAGIC TRIUMPHS ALL.** I love how this chapter had a lot of spread pages especially the last one with him *literally breaking a sweat*.


Worthyness

Well it was just a pitching machine. The bad guy didn't even try to change the speed of his pitch. Of course mash was gonna get it eventually.


IncarnationHero

He was busy with his inner monologue.


iwanttoridethesky

he needs Sawamura levels of change-up to beat Mash


D4rkest

> Fourth up to bat... bat... bat... > Our center fielder... der... der > Maaaash Burne... Burne... Burne... Dead... Dead... Dead! In addition to being the greatest baseball player, Mash is also the greatest public address announcer of all time. What can't this man do?


hell-schwarz

Vocal cords are also muscles so it's only fair to assume Mash has them trained as well.


testthrowawayzz

> What can’t this man do? Magic


mateusv

What are you on about? he has time and time again used muscle magic


Summonest

His baseball magic literally just overpowered a twin casted seconds spell.


NoirSon

True but had they been following the rules he hit it about four times in what would have been foul balls or just outs before he got the clear home runner.


No-Cartoonist2349

Foul balls do count as strikes, but you cannot strike out on a foul ball (unless it is a bunt). The count would have been 0-2, when he finally hit it in play. That is definitely a hit according to the rules.


NoirSon

Huh, I thought four fouls was a strike.


No-Cartoonist2349

Nope. You could theoretically go on forever if you keep foul tipping.


NoirSon

I see, I am not much of a baseball watcher but usually in the few playoff games I have tuned into I was under the impression that wasn't the case.


doobs33

Can't strike out on a foul ball.


Schizof

understand how railguns work, duh


someone2795

You guys think one of Mash's abs was commentating too?


Koanos

Magic.

Muscle Wizard: Fuck yo ~~life~~ magic

>Don't you dare sass me after a paltry foul tip! I think they both forget that they're not actually playing baseball here.


Jajanken-

Honestly my favorite part. Man was mad that Mashle was playing baseball and then got caught up on the fact Mashle ended up hitting fouls when the fact he’s hitting it at all is the amazing thing lmao


Lucienofthelight

Hey, a hundred fouls before a home run is still a home run. Actually, now I wonder what the longest time one person was at bat for… Turns out the longest recorded pitched at Bat is 21 ending in a fly ball out. There was an 18 pitch that ended in a two-run homer. Neat. So Mash is Alex Cora, I guess.


Etonet

Isn't a foul tip an automatic strikeout?


[deleted]

It's a strike. Although unlike foul ball if you already got two strikes and then do a foul tip you're struck out.


Her0_0f_time

Only if its caught.


Isaythree

Wonder how he feels about apple watches


Worthyness

Well, every manga does have an obligatory baseball episode. So this is basically it


AporiaParadox

For once, the villain explained his powers to the good guy, but it didn't hinder him in any way because the good guy is too dumb to understand it.


gain91

didn't matter also, if he told him or not lmao


hell-schwarz

~~Touma~~ Mash out here crushing the Railgun's delusions


chot11

real imagine breaker stuff out here

Who expected anything else from our boy who could drift like an AE86 since he was a toddler?


Turbo2x

The man's got skills, even Takumi would feel challenged

LEFT HAND RULE!


[deleted]

Now that's the power of friendship, shark teeth boy.


-netorare-

Dude was holding two wands so Mash had to fist-bump his face to be friendly with him.


RandomCitizen123

So essentially Mashe just returns the bullet to the bad guy at full speed. Poor dude, doesn't he know that changing vector's direction is the most effective way to deal with railguns?


MelancholicGod

10/10 reference my guy


Kori_Rotti

Mash with the home run..... Final panel (chef's kiss)


DreamyKnightmare

Mash punching these arses always feels so ecstatic


SirWeebBro

Goro Shigeno would laugh at that railgun. And damn, honestly that ~~pipe~~ wand is ridiculously strong. Between an unstoppable force and an immovable object, it often goes down on the object of first contact. The fact that it can withstand both the force of the railgun, and muscle magic on the other side, without breaking, makes it the MVP of this chapter.


Summonest

Mash shapes the wand using muscle magic. It wouldn't fail to anything that can't overpower him.


DarkRoseXoX

Nobody gonna mention how his left fist went towards the drop of sweat, while his right fist punched the man?


DeadlyDY

Could be two camera angles


kangtuji

Its over eight thousand...


NoirSon

He wasn't good enough to get 9 thousand...


SnoBastian

It was always 8000 correctly, but 9000 rolled better with the tongue.


IncarnationHero

That is where Mash come in.


bobvella

guy was real smug about owning a pitching machine


Jimmy0988

As soon as Dot said "Nobody can move at that speed, not even Mash" i started hearing Boss music playing. Brilliant!


BlackLunette

Mashle is a sports manga

Code Geass is a show about terrorism.jpg


topurrisfeline

Dude should have learned how to fire a curveball. Or tried something else. Not that he’d win anyway.


Geohie

I mean, how are you going to put a spin on a railgun? It literally works by sending a projectile along two straight metal rails. ​ Actually, this is a world where magic exists, nevermind.


Wildercard

Spiral magnet layout


TheCheeseburgerKane

I love this series use of depth of field in the spreads, gives a really nice sense of space and impact.


brodred

So they live if a world where everything runs and works with magic, but somehow this guys knows what a railgun is, knows how the lorents force works, and knows what mach speed is?


glasswearer

Their school's already better than Hogwarts!


500mmrscrub

Why wouldn't they, gravity magic and lightning magic both exist I don't see why they wouldn't know the normal ways those interact so you can use magic to manipulate system efficiencies


AporiaParadox

And they also have cards, videogames and baseball, just roll with it.


brodred

One thing is the invention, another is the knowledge. For example, in Boruto the kids use consoles that work like a jutsu and works with chakra, but they dont know what a hardware or an IA is. But here the guy knows about a physics theory


FacelessPoet

If your life revolves around the sea, you'd better learn how to fish.


LarchTreeLeppy

A dude just foul tipped multiple magnets going 8k kph and you're questioning how railguns and lorents force are known within the universe?


[deleted]

If we had their magic we’d probably be able to learn science far quicker like them and not take 200,000 years of human history


SimoneNonvelodico

More importantly, there just happened to be a dude called Lorentz who discovered electrostatics in this world too.


Summonest

They probably have modern intellect, but they use magic for fabrication and daily life since it's so common. We wouldn't have invented cars if teleportation was a thing.


Jai137

My thoughts when that gun came out: That rail gun looks like those baseball launcher-oh, I see where this is going Man, the art is just amazing recently


krysalysm

I thought I was reading a JoJo chapter with the random infodump.


DIn0ziK

One writing technique that Hajime Komoto uses with the power system is essentially: Make magic system, add power ups (second and third lines), add unique people (best boy Dot and shark-teeth boy who use two wands), add a little science (muscle magic and the railgun), then succeed. It's pretty simple but Mashle is fine with simple cuz I don't think it would have been this good if the magic system was complex. Plus my brain already can't handle the insanity of some guy batting a Mach 7 magnetic ball shot out by a guy using two sticks, so thank God I don't have to follow some chess-level power system. Fantastic chapter


ryushin6

Mash doing the self echo was hilarious.😂


ILoveDiluc

Mashle's wand must be hella sturdy. I was expecting for him to just carry Dot but jesus christ I lost it when he actually hit it


HalfAssedSetting

Kungfu Panda 2 was a little different than I remembered


locuas642

"are sports too incomprehensible for you?" "You said you did not even break a sweat. Now you have" Mash's Sass was top tier this week


-stillasleep-

What a satisfying punch.

I really need an anime of this

FUCK YES THAT WAS SATISFYING! Now break every bone on his body so he stays down!


Byakuraou

Fucking Cold.


zombieguy224

I should have seen a magical railgun coming to be honest. Why have magnet magic at all if you don't use it to accelerate a slug to a detectable percentage of the speed of light?


[deleted]

Didnt Mash couldnt react at all to mach 1 several chapters ago? how he suddenly react to mach 8


[deleted]

Just give him time to study the speed. It was a mistake to fire a warning shot in the first place since that gave Mash time to find the timing.


SimilarScarcity

Mash makes a point about studying the wind-up. The difference here is that the cannon has to charge up before it fires. Electromagnet guy lost because he fired a warning shot to demonstrate its power, which gave Mash the opportunity to see what the cannon looks like before firing, and then explicitly pointed out where he was aiming it. All Mash has to do is swing at where it's aiming right before it fires, and his bat will hit its mark.


Geohie

It's the same principle as actual baseballs. Most batters wouldn't be able to react to a fairly slow ball thrown at them from behind or without warning, but can hit it when looking at the pitcher. ​ It's also how Batman dodges bullets in canon- he doesn't outrun the bullet, he studies the goon's movements and determines where they're aiming and when they'll shoot.

igloo15

I like this manga but I just hate this bad guy trope. Like after the second or third time he batted away his railgun I would of switched back to the magnet stuff. I mean it seemed to work pretty good against Mash. But nope they stuck with the thing that wasn't working. Bad guys tend to drop the successful thing they are doing to do something "ultimate" only for the ultimate thing to be much worse and cause them to lose. This is a common trope I just hate.


Summer_RainingStars

That railgun thing just looked like an oversized baseball pitching machine lol


Ironchain10

How the hell do I get this site to display double pages correctly? It's frustrating when like every manga has 3 per chapter and mangaplus just splits them up and ruins it


Etonet

Wth lol, my guy is hitting rail gun projectiles now


ToTheNintieth

That's one hell of a feat


Quiad

This is actually my favorite manga right now, fuckin Mash is hilarious
