Didn't see a thread, the hype is truly dying. Only way to save this is if Luohan makes an appearance that doesn't amount to a cliffhanger
>>282153483I want the worm to go full retard villain mode and send out clones of all the fighters so we can get dream/mirror matches.
>>282153649It would be kind of funny if Yan's "guests" were just an assortment of clones of dead jobbers like Fei, Naidan and Lu tian who's clones were amped up to be "stronger" and some of Shen's Consecutor clones he keeps aroundAnd also Yumi who was looking for a new gig and protection
>didn't see a threadbecause only absolute retards make threads 10 hours before chapterwhat did you want to seethe, sorry, "discuss" from last weeks chapter?How all the antagonists are in absolute tatters and the competition hasn't even started yet?How everyone lost all intrinsic motivation in favor of protecting Ohma and Ryuki from being hijacked in 70 years time?How Gilbert is doomed to achieve nothing after cosplaying a character Sandro regrets instantly killing?How the tournament ruleset is ridiculous and took years to negotiate?
>>282153840I want something even dumber, like Saw Piang fighting his own clone who has metal coated bones to mimic/"improve" on Saw's lifetime of body conditioning. Also give them all Guihun modes.

Sandrobitch is milking Connector waaaay too muchHe pretty much gave up on every character the isn't clonector
is Raian finally going to fight Gilbert?
>>282155872Gilbert fights Raian before the Fortnite Omega can commence and then he'll die, the Westwards will disband, leading Yan to become more desperate and ask "Them" for assistance
>>282155665Sandro has already forgotten about this profile
>>282155665Maybe, but I love these threads.
>>282154493>Adam clone with synthol implants that give him hydraulic trunk muscles>Sawada clone with a perfect internal gyroscope that lets him pull off kicks from impossible positions>Rihito clone with enhanced grip strength on both fingers and toes>Hassad clone (even sooner)>Haruo clone who turns into a composite of every skyfather deity>Agito clone with an even fatter ass for additional kicking power>Kuroki clone who looks like a yetiThe possibilities are limitless, and if Mohammed Wu brings "those people" into the "arena"... it looks like this "battle" will be "up in the air" again.
The real REAL Nicolas Le Banner did die that day, both real Nicolas Le Banner and Purgatory Nicolas Le Banner are clones
>>282155665>the real Nicolas was so clever and sneaky he could even fool Sandro into thinking he's deadBros... I'm scared... the villains are just too menacing this time...
"I'm" the only "Nicolas Le Banner" "we" need.

>>282156953https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_father
>>282153483It's just that... I don't even know at this point. Kengan Ashura had a clear structure. Few introduction fights and an elimination tournament with some downtime and surprise attack in the middle.With Omega I have no idea what was the idea in the beginning. I have no idea what Sandro was going for with Worm, Death Dealers, Mugaku, Shen, anything.There is a big tournament coming but it isn't related to kengan association or pugatory. No one is invested in it, none of the millionaires or billionaires. Why doesn't someone shoot Shen with an anti-material rifle if he is troublesome?
>>282157120I know anyone who uses weapons is an auto-jobber but I wish more of those jobbers at least used guns so they could sell how "unfathomable" the fighter is better. Answers the questions like "why don't they shoot Shen" a lot better. Kind of wish they'd address the issue with fighting guns in a Baki arc, too. Seems overdue.
>>282157145To be fair, Musashi took on the entire police force that were armed and he sliced their guns and them into pieces
>>282157120>Kengan Ashura had a clear structure.Separating Kengan Ashura and Omega is a copout. If you stop at Ashura's end, there are still an absolute ton of unresolved plot points.
>>282157349Like what?
>>282157145>fighting guns in a BakiJust doesn't work on Baki fighters, desu. Besides the one Yujiro scene, ykto Like yeah Hanayama and Jack would turn to swiss cheese but high-tiers like Yujiro and Baki? Untouchable. The side with the gunmen would lose so many men it's not even worth it and for what purpose?
>>282157211In Musashi's case he just cut them before they could shoot. When he was taking on a group he took advantage of the fact that they couldn't shoot him if they surrounded him from multiple angles because they'd risk shooting each other. In Baki they almost never go beyond handguns anyway, you hardly see any rifles. >>282157503Hanayama is so tough I could easily see him beating someone with a gun. In one of the gaidens he gets shot in the head with a rifle and it doesn't kill him, does knock him out though.
>>282153483Eddy has lost the support of the middle eastern wu, but what about the other wu? What about the mexican wu? What about the brazillian wu? What about the argentinian wu? What about the pajeet wu? What about the aboriginal wu? What about the eskimo snow beaner wu? What about the ayylmao wu? What about the canuckian dog-fucker wu?
>>282156950Daro's GPU rendered Saw and Gaolang as blurry lines for a few pages, then we cut to Yan talking about how all his men killed themselves and there's basically nobody left to enter the Fortnite tournament, then we cut to Gilbert being bullied by an Arab Wu for being a loser, who demands he go commit suicide against Raian to regain his honor.
I know we used to meme about the villains being the real underdogs, but like... genuinely what is going on? Even when they were dropping like flies and already becoming jokes, Sandro would at least PRETEND like we were supposed to take them seriously as threats and frame them as looking all menacing. That Tiger Niko's mysterious plans were advancing even though Fei just died, that the Worm was mysterious and dangerous, that Gilbert was winning the war offscreen, ect.Now we have Tiger Niko pissing his pants in terror at someone weaker than Ohma and hurting himself by gooning too much, Luohan being pushed around in a wheelchair and living in a shitty apartment with the former because he lost all power over his PMC, Yan talking about almost all his men are dead with literally only six real fighters left in the Worm, and Gilbert being called a fucking loser by his own clan and being ordered to go and prove himself worth following. What are we supposed to think as the reader? What is the intent here as a writer?
What will that HORRID HERETIC Luohan do next?
>>282157864It is the same process that internet scammers follow when writing their bait: they purposefully make stupid grammar and spelling mistakes, knowing that only the retards who make good prey won't be repulsed by the horrendous grammar.>What are we supposed to think as the reader? You're supposed to stop thinking and slurp uncritically.>What is the intent here as a writer?Make easy money.

What killed the hype?
Worst part is that Sandro sucks even at subversions>we could have had the Purgatory tournament actually interrupted by the Kure vs Wu shenanigans>we could have had Monkeyman actually become dangerous and kill someone offscreen like Jose or Himuro before going down like a bitch>we could have had a longer "Inside" arc with lost comrades along the way, even if Mukaku is still a fake old cunt>we could have had any of those filler tournaments interrupted yet again, this time because of Worm tomfoolery or the Tiger Niko exploding more apprentices>hell, we could have had Shen actually speed up and succeed in killing Ohma and Ryuki instead of adhering to any rules, and a timeskip with Koga&frens facing "them" in the "Inside" like the beginning of this mangaAnd many other ideas most probably better that my autistic rantBut no, we got this piece of shit. And i'm still gonna keep reading it, i'm too far to let it go
Remind me, what is the point of killing Edward just to replace him with worse Edward a.k.a Gilbert?
>>282158171AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LUOHAN HELP ME I NEED SOME SUGAR STICKS
>>282158584Most likely answer? Sandro somehow didn't anticipate the fan backlash and quickly backtracked.
>>282158584Sandro wasn't done playing around with idea of huisheng
>>282158487once hassad soons im good on omega
>>282158584My favorite part is that now Sandro agrees with us that Gilbert sucks, but instead of acknowledging it and trying to fix it, he just doubled down on making him an Edward skinwalker down to stealing the sunglasses/shirt look now and has other characters point out he sucks because surely if he gets meta then it stops being his failure as a writer and becomes clever subversion.
>>282158664>down to stealing the sunglasses/shirt look nowwe've gone full retard with omega lol
>>282157381What the "Worm" areWho Edward, Xia and Mystery Nigga (Fei) are
>>282158584He had the idea for a new character and needed to find a way to get rid of Edward. Like a child who gets bored of a toy as soon as he has a new favorite one.>>282158664Maybe just he reads the forums and realized that nobody likes Gilbert. He seemed to have forgotten about Haruo and treated him like a joke, until people started making fun of him and his wasted potential, then suddenly Haruo was a serious character again...
UH OH, WHO HAS BEEN NAUGHTY? WHO NEEDS A LITTLE SPANKING?
>>282157935Look how shitty his shirt looks.
I have arrived...
>>282158734>Haruo was a serious character again...It's all just build up to the super funny subversion gag where he comes back even fatter
>>282158764>le ebin comical subversion>in the endgame>after a serious momentthat'd be too much, even for sandro
>>282158584>>282158584It's these two points that make this so nonsensical.I'm honestly fine with Gilbert being another Edward, because "he" hammered home that they're not a singular person. Clones in combination with Huisheng means you can basically recreate the same person, which is why it makes complete sense that Gilbert starts dressing the same again because why would his preferences be different? I can easily buy Sandro setting up Edwards loss with his clone successor in mind to give the Kengan heroes a win without eliminating the "threat" (at least in Sandros mind).What destroys this is that other people like the Saudi prince not only recognize Gilbert as a different character, they point out their difference when there shouldn't be any. So if it's like this, then yea, Gilbert should have just been a successor, not a clone of Edward.
>>282158749Lemme guess. Some filler Worm jobber tries to sabotage the tournament and gets stopped by Kenganvengers-sama
>>282158584Fuck why did you have to remind me of Eddie?That guy and Xia were gold
>>282158584My guess is that he wants to establish a new version of the evil on the move trio (Yan for Ji, Neko Niko for Fei, Gilbert for Edward), and mishandled them even more.
>>282158584So princess Raian can have an awesome moment while still keeping the villain "alive"
>>282158749
>>282159092Hehe
>>282159092funny
>>282159124Today?
>>282159092
>>282159092There's actually two layers to this joke since Luohan is the one that actually gets beaten up trying to keep the plot moving while Niko just leeches from him
>>282158785>that'd be too much, even for sandroThat's exactly what someone about to be subverted would say.
>>282155829he's still "green"...
The way Luohan is treated as this dastardly mastermind of evil despite not really doing anything of note reminds me of cartoon villains like Robotnik in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. He'd have his own "evil" theme tune that plays whenever he's "planning" some "evil scheme". Tiger Niko is the straight man to his bumbling evil genius. He probably drinks "evil juice" and says "evil morning" to people as a greeting.
>>282155665>heightmogged by 1cmnicolasbros it's over...
>>282159534>he says "bad morning" insteadTruly an irredeemable monster...
>>282157120It took you until 2025 to reach "this point", "me"? You're like 4 years too late. "We" have all "passed" that "point" a long time ago and now "we" are able to lower "our" brain activity to "enjoy" this kusomanga.
>>282158611>>282158664>>282158734He's an enigma. He's both catering to and trying to actively fight against his fans. He wants to subvert, but doesn't want the potential backlash from it and will overcorrect on that part. Yet he'll still do it again, hoping this time it'll be different.
>>282159457I think the colostomy bag ruins it.>>282159534What's worse is that Luohan is explictly going against the main villain, who's somehow considered A-ok by everyone. Sandro should've been euthanised as soon as he showed symptoms of turning into a cgdctroon.
>>282159534>yfw this song plays whenever Luohan and Neko Niko appear on screenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-z-ENnmCkQ

>>282159818I will hear it from now on
>>282159854>point blank buckshotsWasn't it birdshot?
>>282159854>>Hanayama ate point blank gunshots and just fucking punched a Gun-Fu guy to kill him >>Hanayama shrugged off UzisThese are both from his Gaiden stories right? Are those canon? I often hear people say the spinoffs are of questionable canon, I don't know why they'd say that but I'd like to know if they are definitively or not. Even the Retsu isekai I see no reason as to why it shouldn't be canon.
My villains Shen Luohan and Tiger Niko...
>>282159896Why would Jeff try to kill Oliva with birdshot? >>282159899Correct; they’re both from Scarface. After he left the hospital when Kureha operated on him. Even if we rule these out, Baki remarked that Hanayama had bullet scars in the Maximum Tournament

Boring chapter.
Now that's a winning character face if I've ever seen one! Can't wait for the draft for this one.
All Sandro had to do was make Gilbert swear revenge on Raian for killing Willem, that would've given his character a tiny bit of depth and a reason to still be involved in the plotInstead he does... whatever this is with Gilbert

>>282160349It would've looked cool if there was any line work separating the 2. This just looks cheesy.

>>282160345>MAD's chapterWhat's MAD?
>>282160464the grandpa I guess
>>282160277Isn't Gil basically Edward but younger and stronger (clone + got Ed's memory from Hui Sheng)?

>>282160464Metsudo was being a little cheeky at the end there
>>282160377And then later he decided to take Wu Hei's epithet because Edward's isn't cool enough
>>282160390Woah, it's almost like the point of the chapter is to show that West Wus are fractured and thus cannot summon their full strength.So no, it's not the literal entire world.

>>282160468>He doesn't know about John MADdenhttps://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100328It's actually a pretty decent read, great humor, good action and so far the story and characters are pretty interesting
Oh joy more of the featless duo who's only action is rushing in (jobber action) and losing to Luohan because he slapped them a little too hard. I WONDER if Ohma can win? Just skip to Gilberts fucking humiliation ritual already.

>>282160440>LUOHAN IS EVIL THAT BASTARD SHOULD NEVER BE THE CONNECTOR>what did Luohan do?>......
>>282160484>>282160506Sandro forgot and asked ChatGPT who these characters were when one of his assistants asked him what happened to the Consecutors, so he just pasted the response into the narration.
>>282160484He needs to meet his weekly page quota and couldn't figure out a more creative way of filling up that particular page in the 5 minutes he has allocated to himself each week to write a Kengan Omega chapter.
>>282160496>it's not the literal entire worldIsn't the Worm, which is directly allied with the Westward Wu, also a global organisation?It would apply either way, this just makes it more extreme.

>>282160624He's getting old. In fact, Luohan's real evil plan is to wait till all the people that hate him die of aging, truly dastardly.
>>282160563That damn Luohan tried to save the clones from being body hijacked, share power with his friend, and kill a delusional guy thinking he's Earth's immune system. No amount of words can describe how evil he is

>>282160554Rikuto's death was the first time mainland Wu and Kure realized West Wu was their enemy, though. Edward probably never bothered with systematically attacking Kure and Wu in the few years between Rikuto's death and his own clash (and death) with the Kure

>>282161046If they do, actually, have indians on their side, i don't know why would they complain about being outnumbered.
this chapter inspired me to have a "premonition"forgive my amateur art skills, I tried to bring it to life as much as I could

>>282161176>kure/mainland jobbed so hard raian ran away to study the blade>came back and killed Willem>Westward all of a sudden started to lose maybe
>>282161176Maybe they were all crazy strong on Willem’s level who just canceled eachother out.
>>282161158>Wu Jin-Woo from South Korea>Corey Wu from California>Cletus Wu from Texas
>>282161193lol
>Eddie is the strongest Wu>Raian kills Eddie>Gilber (weaker than Eddie) must now kill RaianWhat kind of malefic grotesque subversion should i expect here
>>282161193>non-euclidian reading orderHmm yes, finally a comic fit for "our" level.
>>282160349I can recognize Photoshop's content aware fill residue anywhere.
>>282160873Wilem isn't actually dead, this page is meant to throw us off heh... he's currently still rehabilitating bit he will be back for the big fight... trust the plan...
>>282161193If someone called me a Kengoid, I literally wouldn’t be able to recover
>>282161317No one's ever really gone.
>>282161176actually a few of them had 100% Guihan
>>282160514Yeah but he killed Howard while wearing that lighting hoodie, so that cancelled out any respect he could have gotten.
>>282161193I can feel my braincells dying as I read thisYou did it, "me". You "scaled the wall" and are now on Sandro's level
>>282161324>Kengoid
Ohma coming back may legitimately be the worst thing ever. I genuinely cannot think of another plot development that has tanked the entire quality of a story harder than this.
>>282160277>The African Clan>Clan, as in one clanLMAO, it happened again.
>>282161298For raian to kill Gilbert there will be no subversion.
>>282161408Not that one
>>282161298>Raian is about to kill Gil>suddenly Luohan jumps out and kills Raian (he doesn't actually kill him, Luohan needs Raian alive for his "plan")>Luohan recruits Wu to fight for him
>>282161408I really really really really like this image
Are they even pretending Gilbert is going to be a credible threat? Does Sandro unironically believe LE CRAZY JOBBER FACE is threatening?
>>282160703>The purges were that bad that now some genetic freaks, one of which is stuck on a small island have more manpower than several different regions combined excluding Africa and the Middle EastYeah I remember when anons were talking about how stupid it was that anyone was taking the Westwards seriously after hearing that they were killing each other for 2 straight years.
>>282161431I mean this Gilbert one hasn’t done any part of the story any favors, except for some Willem reactions but then they ruined him too.
>>282161516Even the Comikey paypigs aren't buying Sandro's bullshit.
>>282161553It's strange that a civil war even needed to happen considering Gilbert killing Edward should have made everybody fall in line.It's even stranger that the other clans would be involved in the European Clan's civil war, if that was Sandro's intent.Does Sandro know how many people there are in India alone?
>>282161579It's weird because on paper Raian DID lose to Howard, it's just that the story glazed over it to quickly give Raian a revenge plot with no actual ramifications against him. Are they going to retcon it and say that Gilbert didn't do anything and he got 1000 v 1'd?
>>282161690*lost to Gilbert.
How the fuck does small japan kure clan outnumber the WUs when they are the entire western hemisphere.
>Gilbert actually manages to kill Raian>sends Raian's body to Kure clan as a declaration of war>some random old Kure member appears>>!We have no choice...we must use "it"">Raian is ressurected for the "fifth" time>as they check his vitals, they notice something....his removal rate increased to 250%...>Kure scientists in shock, cannot believe what happened>>"Raian h-has not "scaled" the wall...he "jumped over" the wall....>cut to Xia Ji eating leftovers from a trashcan and getting jumped from Raian
>>282161649It's dumb that Gilbert has to consistently deal with how uppity his own clan is towards him>Howard, technically still Gilberts brother, doesn't like him and doesn't want him in power for being a kid or something>This ignores the fact that Gilbert, despite his upbringing, is still Eddie but younger so there shouldn't really be an issue with Gil taking over in Eddie's place, this is what he's there for>Has to kill Howard for being retarded but all this does is piss people off so now Gilbert has to go around the world tardwrangling every other idiot in his clan for 2 years>Manages to get a win over on Raian at some point>This however isn't even enough to keep some respect for too long because some fag from the Middle East is demanding Gilbert "do it again" anyway>Gilbert actually let's this uppity fuck walk away with his spine intact and agrees with him even though all Gilbert was doing was trying to keep his power because everyone has made up reasons to not like him
Does anyone remember this manga was setting up a "Battle Royale Including WORM Shen on an island?"

>>282161911Sandro is stalling so he can keep running the participating characters through the same BR generator we use until he gets one he likes.
>>282160703Sandro invented these new Wu ethnicities only a few chapters ago. The Westward faction were just Europeans. Sandro doesn't realize he just made the Westward faction dwarf the Wu and Kure by a lot.

>>282157503>the gunmen would lose so many men it's not even worth it and for what purposeConsidering how symbolic Yujiro and, to a lesser degree, Baki are on the world stage, it would actually be a huge deal if just a squad of armed men managed to take them down a peg or seriously injure them. It would create an unfathomable shakeup in politics the world over. Don't forget that, up until just recently the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA would swear an oath of friendship to Yujiro Hanma and would promise to leave him alone with the exception of the arrangement between him and Strydum. Even if you lost 100 men, maiming or even killing Yujiro or Baki would have world-shaking consequence based on that fact alone. People have been assassinated for less.
>>282161850Knifebros... we will never recover from this...
>>282160311I know that their entire eyeball is supposed to be black, but the upper face creases makes it seem that the whole black eyeball is just the retina and the gap between the crease and eyeball is the eyeball itself.tl;dr Gil just looks hilariously derpy, making him even more of a joke.
>>282161963kek
>>282158707I found it interesting the anime cut them entirely along with most of the Worm's connection to Hayami's coup. Ranjo and Long Min still appeared and said cryptic shit, but the former still got folded like fresh laundry and the latter still just walked away from Cosmo and was presumably captured. They left themselves little room to adapt Omega, which is probably for the best. The adaptation cut a lot of the minor out-of-combat interactions I liked, but it trimmed some fat and stayed focused for the most part.And honestly? Even if they left in more the Worm and "Evil is on the move," it's not like you NEED to resolve it. I wouldn't call that an absolute ton of unresolved plot points. It's just sequel bait that hints at there being larger waves made by the events of the story. You can separate Asura and Omega just fine because I don't feel like there's any need to follow the sequel hook.
>Ohma doesn't want Shen's Martial arts memories because he doesn't want to become the Connector>Also because he wants to go about being strong his own way>Even though Shen has personally been training him on Principles which is something like the combined lifetimes worth of Martial arts memories >Being told his evil older clone brother and the man who ruined his life both learned Principles does not convince him>Now we're being given a stupid 2v1 fight where Ohma will not look bad regardless whether he wins or losesIt's great knowing the Protag just fucking doesn't want to interact with the plot in any way and has to be forced too

>>282158799That's because Huisheng has always been a crapshoot with dubious results. "Passing on Wu Hei" always results in a mix and basically creates a whole new person. It's a Chinese cult game of human telephone. They figured that Alan was "the closest" to being Wu Hei, but by what metric? He believed harder? He was more like in temperament to the records they have of Wu Hei from thousands of years ago? Edward remained partially himself and the mere fact that any of the Huisheng Wu could acknowledge they simply received Wu Hei's memories means they can't fully believe that they're him aside from schizo delusions. It's basically a stated plot point that you can't truly recreate a person with Huisheng. Shen Wulong is weird because he basically just told his life story and trained his son in his techniques generation after generation, and only in more recent years was he seeking a more direct continuation of himself. The "aberrant individual" is just a Shen who doesn't fully play along with the farce or who kept a little too much of himself. Cloning doesn't really make much difference in this either because even if you recreate a person genetically, their brain is going to develop differently and there will always be quirks to it. Gilbert was raised as Edward's son, but he performed Huisheng with his memories as Edward to create a "pure Edward" clone. The issue there is that Edward himself must have received the Wu Hei Huisheng treatment from a young age, so Gilbert massively diverges the moment he reaches a point in Edward's life cycle that goes beyond when he started to become Wu Hei. There are an extremely finite number of "non-Wu Hei Edward Wu" memories because he would have been mixed with Wu Hei pretty early in his life and the schizo treatment would have affected his development on a fundamental level. Gilbert can't be "just Edward" because they led massively different lives and there isn't enough "just Edward" material to use to get the same guy.
>>282161850simply unfathomable
>>282162869It's a shame because there's a lot an actually talented writer could do with the concept and a character like Gilbert, and build further on the themes of identity/legacy Omega initially seemed like it was going for with other things like Nicolas.Unfortunately Sandro is a hack who apparently accidentally stumbled upon a few interesting themes, then completely ignored them to just smash his favorite few action figures together and play house with Shen and Yan.
>>282162869Hmmm .........
>>282160717It's not like they ended up in every single part of the world simultaneously. Also, it wasn't stated that they've been subordinate to Shen since Wu Hei's time. Wu Hei was a buddy of Shen's, but the Wu clan probably only took a run at him or got a little too uppity for Shen's taste in the thousand years.
>>282161441In the case of the Wu, this actually makes sense. The Wu spread out, but they're still just small pockets of family. There might be a couple hundred of them, but they probably all stick together. The Middle Eastern clan is still just the family of Wu who live in the Middle East after all.
>>282163014I like the concept of Gilbert well enough, but you would have had to keep Edward around longer and introduce Gilbert while he was still alive for it to have any impact. Strip back the Wu Hei nonsense, narrow the scope of the Wu clans, and explore the idea of Gilbert both as Edward's son and as Edward's attempt at working through his own regrets and/or hesitation about the path he took in life."How would I have turned out if I never undertook Huisheng? Would I still be me or would I have been better?"A smarter story would have played with Alan Wu and Gilbert as parallels to each other. One inheriting the Wu Hei half of Edward and the other inheriting the Edward half. Gilbert would be a more literal examination of the "sons becoming their fathers" and "living your dreams through your children" themes you sometimes see in other stories.It would also set up Gilbert against Raian more naturally assuming that Raian still ends up killing Edward in the end.

>>282161850>Sandrovich walking to his "meeting"
>>282157935I still don’t get why he dresses like Edward nowDo all the clones dress like that? Was the original wearing a button up cheeta print shirt and sunglasses in ancient China?
>>282165194What do you think Sandrovich wears?
>>282165173Kek, his tastes explain the writing.
>>282162589>It's great knowing the Protag just fucking doesn't want to interact with the plot in any way and has to be forced tooA perfect reflection of how the author just fucking doesn't want to interact with the plot in any way and feels forced to write too.I bet that if you give Sandwich a bag filled with a million dollars, he'd quit writing Kengan Omega in an instant. He's clearly only doing this for a steady paycheck.Some other authors if you give them a bag of a million bucks will continue to write unfettered by financial worries or constraints. Not Sandwich. At least not for Kengan Omega. He may still have some degree of affection for his other works, but it's clear he has none left for this one.
>>282165560Like I've written before a while back: Sandwich always looks like a sleazeball. Here he looks like a mid-life crisis hipster. In other earlier photos, he looked like a sleazy pawnshop owner who sells illegal drugs underneath the counter. He's always got that full-of-shit smile too.
>>282165173GENIUS MANGAKA SANDROVICH YABAKO
>>282166170>He's always got that full-of-shit smile too.Can't wait to feed us his slop.
>>282163135>Entire continent only has one family and that family is an off-shoot itselfNah, I'm not buying it. Especially since the Kure and the main Wu are one clan themselves despite living in smaller geographical spaces.
>>282166617It's not really "one family" so much as a clan is essentially a coalition of related families. They basically grouped up and call themselves "the African Wu." The "main Wu" cover all of China, which is itself a massive land mass. The Kure are just an offshoot clan that don't identify with the Wu, whereas the African Wu are still Wu. The "main Wu" are basically just "the Asian Wu Clan." Eddie was the head of the collective "Westward Wu," which was basically every Wu clan that wasn't the Wu of central Asia. It's really just a matter of identification. The African Wu themselves might have offshoot families that broke away and started calling themselves something else since they no longer directly allied with the Westward Wu. Think of how Leonardo Silva is related to the Kure, but isn't explicitly a Kure himself. Hell, the Kure family are a proper example of this because, for all intents and purposes, they are relatives to the Wu clan but are just a splinter faction that exist in one country primarily. The real issue is that the Kure are given equal prominence next to the THE Wu and the entirety of the Westward Wu. It makes it seem like all of the Westward Wu are just a bunch of similarly-sized splinter factions that all want the name.
>>282166825Still not buying it. If that was the case they would have used "clans", or at least tried to explain that they are divided than the designation they are using. Even one text box explaining that would have been enough. This just comes off as headcanon.
>>282167058You kind of have to headcanon it some when the story itself just passes by it and skimps on the detail. It's all just inference. "A clan" is usually comprised of many families tied together by mutual agreement, so if someone splits off to form their own group with a new name, they're no longer part of the clan. In that sense, there can't really be multiple "African Wu clans" if the clan spans the continent and are bound by mutual agreement. Anyone who leaves is just a splinter group unless they decide to keep the name, like how the Kure are to the Wu in general. It's flimsy and way more thought than Sandro put into it though, so I don't blame you for thinking of the writing as lazy. It quite blatantly is.
>>282167130That's the thing. If this was any other author I would accept it. Keeping things open or getting the audience to headcanon things can be fun and it's a sign that you respect their intelligence and left enough hints for them to pick up the pieces. But I guarantee you that Sandro had the same mentality when writing those pages as he did when he wrote the leader of African gangs.Like, your explanation falls when you remember the Kure clan. They are a clan compromised of one family. Even have their own town. What gets me to think that this isn't the case with the African clan?
>>282167276It's a pretty wide family that is hundreds strong with plenty of members being several cousins removed from each other. It's to the point that incest isn't even necessarily looked down upon among them. They're effectively multiple families for how spindly their family tree is. A Kure clan meeting at the compound is like attending a family reunion where the common point is that everyone there has some connection to your great-great-great-grandfather. Erioh was the patriarch of the clan for many years, but most of the clan isn't even remotely directly descended from him.1300 years is a long time for the Kure to exist after all, and the only thing tying many of them together is that they choose to keep the name and associate with each other.
>>282167515Yeah, but I have no reason to think that Sandro isn't using the same logic with the African Wu. Without even thinking of the scale he's working with.
>>282167645Oh, he has absolutely no idea what scale he's working on. He's never been good at comprehending the scale of the conflicts he's conceptually flirting with.
>>282165173>current ongoing series: the sequel to his claim to fame, and 3 (three) waifushit mangaLmao, what a way to expose himself as a piece of shit.>>282166109>He may still have some degree of affection for his other worksNo way in hell. Notice how his only two series pre-fame, Ashura and FoTs, had all-male casts and were more or less earnest in trying to depict fighting tournaments. His pivot to waifubait is 100% for monetary reasons.

>>282162589Ohma will probably end up accidentally "learning" from the martial arts memories without actually taking them from just fighting.Remember when he refused to be trained by the Connector but when Koga did it he immediately stepped in LOL
