## Chapter
- number: 77
- release_date: 2025-03-13

### Summary
Continuing the stark tonal shift of the "Victor" arc, the narrative doubles down on its bizarrely comedic and almost surreal atmosphere, moving further away from the established psychological drama. Based on audience reactions, the current chapter focuses on a humorous, slapstick-like confrontation that contrasts sharply with the manhwa's previous intense and tragic fights. A new character, Gilbert Einstein, is subjected to a comically humiliating experience, which includes an absurd slip and a harsh insult describing him as a "unicellular organism." The opponent, Viktor, is perceived as funny, and the absurdity is heightened by a coach who is seen cheering for the competitor. This lighthearted, "fever dream" quality is underscored by readers who contrast this new opponent with the serious, formidable foes of past arcs like Jean-Pierre, Takeda Yuto, and Santorino Fabrizo. While some readers note that the intended humor doesn't fully land for them, the consensus acknowledges the chapter's comedic intent and high-quality art, solidifying this arc as a strange, comical interlude that has temporarily sidelined the series' core themes of trauma and abuse.
