Under Queensbury boxing rules, a standing 10 count is started the moment the ref recognizes a part of the body other than the feet touches the ground. If they are unable to rise to their feet after 10 seconds, it is a KO. They don't have to be unconscious. In unified MMA rules, a KO is granted only when a fighter is unable to continue. In both sports, TKOs are granted by the ref when the ref (or corner, or ringside doctor) decides that the fighter cannot continue. In any case, there was no KO no matter what ruleset you look under, because Erza simply stated "I lost". That's a tap, and counts as forfeiture. Fainting from exhaustion long after you collapsed to your knees and saying that you've lost isn't a knockout in any sport. All of this is, of course, irrelevant. Mashima calls it a double knockout using whatever fictional standard he's using. Not a real life one. I am perfectly fine with accepting that at face value. The only reason I am even getting into this is because you're saying that what Laxus and Erza went through was comparable to real boxers knocking each other out in a double KO, which it very clearly is not.I see that it is impossible.
the tournament counter only counts since he falls to the ground, not when he is awake and talking ... and this is not a tournament, I repeat.
Nothing to tell at the time of the talk, she is awake talking.
You don't know that counting is only done when ko is left.
and that only in tournaments with rules, here there are no winner rules, because there is no winner.
and I remind you that he admits defeat, there is no victory.
I think the problem I see in you is that you start counting from the erza conversation, and that is wrong, it is since she is left ko.
if not, then mashima could not have put double ko, because that means that the 2 are knocked out in the same period of time, which happens, it does not take even 6 seconds to fall ko after erza.
If it was a victory for Laxus, Mashima should have put both ko or ko with arrows to each one, apart from which Laxus should also have said that he won, but you know that he said he also lost.
I usually read the comments of the majority, but it seems to me that you were more reasonable than many, but in this case I cannot find anything reasonable, because you deny the author himself, although I think I know that it is because you think he was counting from the speech of erza and that is not like that.
and if she held back, you should know that the vs after the slash would have already ended the fight surely, Laxus himself as a fighter who is know when someone is contained and told her.
one had a little less magic and the other it was held until the final part.
both were matched, both were sold out, both recognized defeat, double ko means double ko, no win.
Again, it doesn't matter if Erza held back in the beginning. Because she eventually went all out against Laxus, and Laxus is still standing afterwards. There was literally nothing more Erza could have done by the end of the fight.
