Fine, here's another excuse: He's such a blockhead that punches don't even hurt him.

I guess... but they used a REAL katana, a laser sniper, an impact cannon, and A FREAKIN' BATTERING RAM on his unprotected body... and I'm pretty sure Laura deploys her RAILGUN in some alter volumes...

Wow, you actually memorized individual beatdowns? I just remind myself that they go at him with, highly expensive, military-grade lethal force and the intent to kill...

Yes I do.
there is also the Rin slap, Laura slap, and the Charl KO Kick too.
And the Tatenashi sparring match where he got owned.
Oh I forgot the Kanzashi slap.
Give time and I will remember all.

To be fair, Tatenashi's was a sparring match. Less of a beating and more of training/proving themselves.

Maybe so my friend but in the end he got KO and ended up in the infirmary .
If need medical attention or end up there then it was a beat down.

That's the funny thing: she's not Russian as far as I can see. I mean, look at her name, then look at her sister being a Candidate for Japan... how the hell does this system work?!?!?!?

I think its like this they(other countries) observe and evaluate the students at the IS school looking for the most skill and most talented and as the students grades to pick their representative .
And because the students from the moment they enrolled in the school that they cut all ties with nationality.

[Eratas123]

She's possibly half Russian. It's mentioned her name's written in a separate way for foreigners. Her skin's also on the noticably pale side, kinda like Cecilia's and Charlotte's.

Anyway, all harem protags take a beatdown. And he dodges all the lethal attacks.

So what do they need Representative Candidates (exclusive to each country) for? I mean, if you're going to pick someone else's candidate anyways...

Meh, could be, haven't read 6(?) in a while...

But what if he doesn't dodge any one of those strikes? wouldn't that be an interesting little plot twist? It's like how no one expected Touma to die, but it happened twice and both time were INTENSE AS HELL. Or how no one guessed that Aincrad would last one volume long on their first read, so when they find out, MIND BLOWN. Breaking expectations with unexpected practicality is starting to become a trend...

ME GUSTA (God, I must be tired...)

[Eratas123]

Cadet's have the right to choose their nationalities. How could you forget? They mentioned it a grand total of.......once, in the middle of even more exposition.

@ Chad001 - Sounds like a Fanfic. Some made plans for that, and it ends with the girls going insane and murdering everyone ala school days.

[sky black swordman]

@ Eratas123 look on IS Wiki acording to it her (Tatenashi Sarashiki) her Nationality: Japanese.
So she is full Japanese I guess.

Think of it like soccer system. You want the person representing your country to be a locale, but sometimes, some people are just too talented to not entice them to represent your country. Tatenashi ane is one such person piloting skill wise.

[sky black swordman]

^ Is it like the soccer system or is it more like the olympic system?
But them again I have heard of players going to other countries to play for their teams.

[Eratas123]

I really wouldn't trust the wiki fully. Besides that, her features really don't mark her for a Japanese. Ichika, Houki, and Rin, who are of Asian descent, show slightly tan skin. Tatenashi and Kanzashi have a skin and hair tone more akin to Charlotte and Cecilia.

Either way, maybe it's just author appeal.

Trudat. Either way, it achieves the goal of making Ichika's harem even more politically diverse, and expanding the scale of consequences, should he ever make a choice, EVEN MORE disastrous...
