I'm also kinda bewildered that, after 484 chapters, Kenichi is still getting clobbered by Miu. I mean it makes sense from an in-story standpoint as she did just receive that big power up and whatnot, but from a fan standpoint if you would have told me when I finished the Ragnarok arc that Kenichi was still gonna be getting his ass handed to him by Miu over 300 chapters later there's no way I would've believed you...also I'm not liking the hints that she is still having difficulty controlling her Dou spirit. I think that's something that's gonna have to be addressed eventually.
To be honest, I'm not surprised that she's still ROFLstomping him. For one thing, she's been deep in the world of combat since she was a tiny kid. Not only that, but remember her bloodline and (especially) her traveling companion/teacher all that time. Kenichi just started, compared to her.
As for her Dou nature..if she's having trouble reining it in, I'm not surprised by that either--if she was getting it under control to any degree, it was probably massively disrupted or undone by Jenazad's training/treatment. She got taught Pencak Silat with/by a spirit bloodier than probably the majority (if not all) of the Nine Fists'.
Really, the only member of the Nine Fists that I imagine could be as corrupting as Jenazad is Ogata.
