>>
>>282163334
That's because, for all of his faults, Gilbert is at least entertaining. Not as much as Luohan, but he's so silly that it's hard not to laugh at his antics. Ohma isn't even wasted potential. His presence has been a net negative for the story because his involvement has swallowed up every vestige of Koga and Ryuki's plots that could have mattered. We off-screened TWO YEARS of their development and the initial premise of Koga rising up through the ranks while Ryuki searches for identity, but we follow nearly every mundane moment of Ohma's new lease on life.

I sometimes ponder about a hypothetical development of Omega (if there HAD to be a sequel to Ashura, which I felt was fine to be left as it without a sequel) where:

>Ohma remains dead
>Koga is blue balled upon finding out he's dead
>But his development as a martial artist remains relatively unchanged as its established that he wants to be the "best" much more than he wants to get revenge on Ohma
>He seeks out the third Niko and trains under him, developing new techniques in the process that weren't known to Ohma and other Nikos.
>All this happens Kengan LOSES the KvP bowl, because Ohma isn't here to fight Lolong and Gensai still declines to participate.

I like to think the story would have more of that "underdog" feeling that could give it more weight kinda like Ashura did. Almost anything is better than Sandro's writing at this point right?

Nah, they're tolerated and even sought out for.
Skipping the mercenary and assassin stuff that all politician's really love doing can you imagine a politician who wanted some of that pristine Wu genes from thousands of years of practicing eugenics in his family lineage? Some fat old Politician would have put their kid through every top trainer in the world so they could be a fucking specimen to be offered up to the Wu in exchange for immunity from the law or something

>>282163962
I could have even stomached "mentor Ohma," but even that does a disservice to who he was in Asura. Ohma would have fought to his end, so barring anything that would massively shift his worldview after that last big fight or a literal inability to fight anymore, I'd think he'd still choose to go at it. If Sandro HAD to have him back, then there were much better ways to do that without throwing away the new main characters.
I remember people speculating about Ohma maybe having some kind of limitation on his ability to use Advance or having diminished capacity overall, but it ended up going nowhere and he proved to be in better shape than ever.
>>
>>282164197
Based on his face maybe he gets a super rage boost like the Hulk

Ohma should've returned as an actual Dragon (or Tiger). Sounds the same, looks the same, but isn't the Ohma we knew.

Most politicians don't give a rat's ass about eugenics or making their progeny physically stronger. They want to wield socioeconomic might. Few modern politicians bother cultivating personal physical strength. Those Wu genes would just seem like juju nonsense to them.

In a better version of omega, Kaz actually kept his competence unlike in the current versino where he basically reverted back to his old self the moment ohma showed up.
If kaz actually bothered to coordinate the team instead of "just walk out whenever boys", KvP bowl would have ended in like 6 fights.
>"a boxer? Hold on Gaolong, I don't think any boxer stands a chance against Waka. Especially one in that weight class."
>>
>>282164723
Sandro really did absolutely nothing with the format of KvP to build intrigue or switch up the fights

It doesn't help that Kazuo seemed to know very little about any of Purgatory's top billing fighters when he could have attended events or looked into any and all of them even before the final roster was solidified. He met a couple of them personally and just didn't bring up anything about anyone when it came to strategizing their match picks. What's the point of an alternating fighter pick system when you don't actually play with the format. Instead, we got some nonsense about Waka being bad against soft styles only for him to go out to fight a guy who presumably used tai chi.

Because of nipwank

It's very arguable that they're better than everyone else considering they were merely a match for Hayami's white suits back in the KAT. It even seemed like they might have had a number advantage against Hayami with the Kure + Bodyguards, and it was still pretty close with the fighters having to step up to tip the scales.
At least as far as weapon users, assassins, and group combatants go, Hayami had raised an organized group of fighters to rival them basically on his own. Your average Kure is probably no better than your average Kengan Association regular in plain combat. Hollis, Horio, Reichi, Karla, and especially Raian are exceptional within their clan as far as unarmed fighters go, whereas most Kure are primarily killers and bodyguards who have some amount of training in their clan's martial arts and killing techniques.

Because "reincarnation" isn't real and it's all just a phony idea to begin with. It was summed up well enough last thread, but Huisheng is bullshit to begin with and there is no "Edward without the Wu Hei part" because being Huisheng'd was an integral part of shaping who Edward became in life. Gilbert is just his genetic double who grew up in a totally different age and circumstance, followed a different life path, and was subsequently shaped by those experiences. Eddie had a son, raised him by telling him about his life and feelings while trying his best to cut out the "Wu Hei influence" (literally impossible since it's intrinsic to Eddie's life experience), and then let him run free thinking they're the same person when they blatantly are not.
Gilbert going "had I not rejuvenated, I might have lost" during the conflict with the dissenting Wu makes no sense because he acts like he just suddenly woke up like a sleeper agent backup for Eddie, but he's just been hanging around with his buddy Willem the whole time anyway.
It's like the most basic of basic "your genes don't determine who you are as a person" idea that sort of just gets glossed over because there's no time to address any of this since we need more pages of Shen drinking beer and eating snacks with his friends.
>>
>>282163207
Can we go back to Liu, Nicholas and Haruo already?
>>
>>282162776
Excuse me? The westward faction is literally everything in the world outside of China and Japan?
And they were united by Edward?
How could they even struggle with the Kures? It would be one thing if all these factions were divided but united they should be able to absolutely crush the kure clan with resources alone, and that's without taking the superior genetics of everyone in the world into account.
>>
>>282166334
>>282166284
Hatsumi was also guaranteed to have become the Fang of Metsudo had he stuck around, so he's a bit of an exception as far as fighter potential goes. Waka creamed fighters that ran the entire gamut for like two decades of his life. It's actually a wonder that Metsudo managed to stay on top for so long when Waka was active before he had Agito. Did Furumi just never try to tread on Metsudo's turf while having THE BEST Kengan fighter in the business for several years?
Hatsumi didn't become an active Kengan fighter until after he split from Metsudo's place, and Agito became his active fighter after Omori stepped down/was defeated by Agito showing he was ready for it, so that means that Omori presumably dodged Waka for years and/or people openly knew that Furumi had a decent chance of stealing the Association from Metsudo if he ever got ambitious enough to push for a KAT.

The more bullshit we learn about the Wu, the more I'm inclined to believe that they were supposed to be the original clan but Sandro changed it for some reason unknown to everyone but him.
Seriously, their whole backstory is retarded.
>>
>>282166631
What's more is that when Waka and Omori do fight Waka almost no-diffs him
Now you can take into account Waka's training at that time and his newly created Blast Jabs but that wasn't something Waka really needed in his fights and his normal jabs would have probably worked on their own.
You can probably chuck Furumi and Metsudo never crossing paths at the time by saying they were both ducking each other because no one wanted to risk a devastating loss in their win streak until Metsudo felt confident in Agito
>>
>>282165223
Because for hundreds of chapters now Sandro's m.o has been:
>set up plot point
>throw plot point in trash
If you get hype for anything you're setting yourself up for disappointment. It's why training arcs are so awful in Omega, none of it ever fucking matters unless your name is Ohma or Koga.

Omori also evolved over time since his whole thing, apparently, is incorporating every martial art he's practiced into one "Fang Style" that grows with him. It's just his version of Agito's Martial Arts™.
>can probably chuck Furumi and Metsudo never crossing paths at the time by saying they were both ducking each other because no one wanted to risk a devastating loss
There's that, and Furumi was made out to not be especially ambitious. Not enough to want the chairman seat anyway. He seemed satisfied with being a big dog and growing his business. People tend to forget that the ultimate goal of all these CEOs isn't necessarily controlling the KAT, but whatever their personal motivation for developing their company is. Furumi Pharmaceuticals is still a medical company at the end of the day, and Furumi seemed quite happy just having a strong business. Not everyone has the ambition to want to be in charge of the entire Japanese economic market. Metsudo ran things well enough for decades and kept out foreign influences with his policy, which was probably good enough for most.

>>282167021
The Westward Wu's is the only faction that bothered to keep Wu Hei "Alive" in some sort of way while the Chinese Wu and Kure fucked off and did their Assassin thing in two other Countries
But the Westward Wu aren't the original Wu's, that would be the Chinese Wu's. The Westwards are just a faction of the Chinese Wu's who broke off during the war with the Worm's some thousand years ago and became subservient to the Connector, Shen. For some reason they were the only one's who bothered Huishenging their ancestor OR the Wu's were already doing that and the Wu who was "Wu Hei" at the time decided to become subservient to Shen even though Wu Hei was made out to be a giant psycho killer so it seems kind of out of character for a character that barely exists to play secondary to someone else
Anyway Sandro never bothers with the relationship between Wu Hei and Shen, two guys who exists via a schizo game of telephone because Sandro really doesn't care too much about the Wu Hei's. While Shen exists to give Ohma a "wall" to "scale" I guess, Wu Hei and those others guys only exists to give Raian fights where he JUST FUCKING WINS.
Also while being Shen's bitch for thousands of years the Westwards at some point started branching off and disconnecting from each other all while under Shen's rule and he never bothered to try and fix that. It took Eddie and Howard to go clean up that mess and now it's falling apart AGAIN all while under Shen's rule but it's not his problem because Eddie/Howard/Gilbert were just "his friends" but not close enough for Shen to consider their faction that works under him that is falling apart to be his problem and help them sort things out

So the Westwards are weird larpers pretending to be older than the Kure and Wu MAYBE and despite being under his rule Shen doesn't lift a finger to help them when they need it
There's more in-fighting with this one Faction than there was with the CEO's in Kengan Ashura
>>
>>282167475
And that's why I believe this whole backstory is retarded and was caused by change at some point.
Seriously, the fact that they are the ones who follow Shen even though the main Wu are RIGHT THERE IN CHINA is the biggest indicator of that.

>>282167621
The whole thing about them following Shen is obviously a rewrite considering they were regarded as outsiders to everything going on with the Worm until the sudden reveal that they've actually been working with the Worm secretly all along, which is what caused the more recent rift between them and the Chinese Wu. The main Wu abhor the practice of Huisheng, reject The Connector, and seem to be actively opposed to the Worm's attempt at controlling mainland Asia while the Westward Wu, which is a distinction that was only added way later into the KvP arc since Eddie was just called the leader of the Wu, are somehow the subservient but much larger branch of the family.
Eddie was obviously written as the leader of the Wu clan at first, but the shift to focus on The Connector caused Sandro to reorganize the Worm, Wu, and Tiger Niko to be directly under him even before the concept of who The Connector was had been solidified. Because of this, he created the distinction between the Wu and the Westward Wu and reversed their sensible roles within the story so that Eddie, who showed up talking about how the Kure were just a backward branch, was himself a member of a branch family practicing a backwards tradition that none of the other Wu condone.

>>282167797
It's really worrying that so many other established bits of lore about the world of Kengan was retroactively fitted to appeal to Shen's character the more and more Sandro delved into him but ends up making the entirety of the "Evil is on the move" gang look incompetent

>The Wu clan that is at odds with the Kure? Actually just a bunch of in-fighting moron's that can't win a fight to literally save their lives and they all work under Shen is rarely acknowledges their existence
>Tiger Niko? The guy who groomed a million orphans into being his test dummies for his personal goals regarding a perfect Niko Style, this grooming including Setsuna and to an extent Ohma? Actually works under Shen but technically Luohan this whole time and Niko doesn't really have anything else going on and no further mentions of other Students he may have

Just seems like "war" is a bit strong of a word for what they're doing. They're basically just openly feuding families who occasionally meet up in allies or random fields and kill each other. It's not really a "war" so much as it is a dispute between a couple thousand people, tops.
The West Wu aren't all actually fighting, it's pretty much just Eddie's — now Gilbert's — guys against Wu Xing and Kure Erioh's — now Hollis or Raian's depending on how you look at it — guys.
Can you even really say they have armies at their disposal when it's basically just which Wu and Kure could get off of work to go fuck with each other? Calling it a war at all seems like a huge misnomer.

Sandro genuinely can't fucking stich long form story telling together even if his life depended on it.

Always been able to tolerate Kengan Omega having jumped the shark from the onset but i can not tolerate it being complete nonsense AND boring at the same time.

This whole Kure infighting arc is so fucking boring bro, the characters in this chapter ranges from "not even halfway fleshed out" to "literally who" why should i give a fuck about any of this?

Just get to the part where Raian bites Gil's dick off and be done with it so that we can get to the tournament where something interesting might happen, my god.
>>
>>282170816
We're still in the part of the story where Sandro is assembling the avengers to be the good guys so thankfully the main focus is still tournament based and is therefore still better than Omega.
I got a bad feeling that it will devolve into complete Sandroisms not long after this or the next arc is over since it's getting pretty predictable who's gonna win the current tournament already.

Patently false.
Gilbert is no more Edward than Hayami Masaki is Meguro. The fact he was raised without being Huisheng'd into Wu Hei means he's inherently a totally different person. He's LARPing at being his dad, which means he isn't Eddie at all. This isn't even a mind of a teenager thing. You can't have the sum total person that is Edward Wu without the experiences that created him.
They would no sooner accept that Gilbert is literally Eddie (because he's not) than they'd accept that Eddie et al where literally Wu Hei in the flesh. It doesn't really matter if Gilbert was cloned from him. Their genetics is where the similarities end.
>>
>>282163212

I love the fact that Masaki just killed Hayami, and then fucked off from the whole Kengan Association mess and series to enjoy his life as a rich heir to a rich and powerful company.
Become the strongest? Fight for companies? Nah, I'm just going to enjoy my time at university, and help out with the local clubs.
>>
>>282179553
All of that in spite of Hayami's attempt to make him more insane again when the whole point of having a clone of Meguro was so that he could have a sane version of him. Masaki, as far we know, killed his scheming shitbag dad and then just decided to be chill.
>>
>>282162898
But seriously, what is the point of making Gilbert look this bad? The Kure have gone from losing the war to wiping the floor with the Wu with no explanation, Gilbert hat gone from "literally Eddie but better" to a shadow of his father with none of the juice. Why is it that every time one of the heroes fights their rival, that rival has to be brought to their absolute lowest point first? It happened with Xia Ji, it happened with Yumi, now it's happening with Gilbert. What is Sandro trying to accomplish with this?

>>282179747
>Gilbert hat gone from "literally Eddie but better"
I never bought this to begin with. He might be closer to his physical prime, but Eddie had decades of practical experience both as a fighter and a leader on him. Even his first appearance made him come off as pretty lame and impulsive. Gilbert didn't need any help getting worse.

I’m starting to think Fusui is the only person in the entire Kure lineage who is smart enough to use guns. Those Kures who bombed Kenzo’s bunker were elite irreplaceable Kure demolitions experts.

This must be why the Kure are winning the war, as reluctant as they are to use guns they DO provably use guns while Edward, the actual head of his house, still rips and tears dudes with his bare hands instead of having a constant 24/7 sniper crew watching his ass.

Using Venom would be a bad matchup in Kengan because it risks making you too strong to win, unless you go the Julius route and use nothing but strength. Which ironically means Joel Schumacher’s screaming retard Bane would be the most effective Bane in the Kenganverse.

Luohan already showed us. A VR gooning session.
However, unlike that bastard, Ohma, who has fought tens of thousands of battles inside his mind, will be able to fully realize the image he needs to learn from, because for the first time, he'll have the perfect image of his opponent.
Combined with his mental teacher Niko, they will form Shen Niko, the ultimate imaginary teacher.

I think Ohma is an interesting case study for when the Author can write a character to be unintentionally hateable
Ohma's written like a Douche who thinks he's chill
>>
>>282180267
Nah, Anon, Ohma just wanted a couple pointers. He saw Shen give Koga a little tip and he just wondered if there was anything he had obviously gotten wrong all this time. It was just a little friendly hint!

>>282180267
I’ve said from the start that the problem with huisheng is that SANDRO clearly wants to treat it like some actual, no bullshit ancient martial arts ghost possession like Ihiko’s existence being passed down through the Shiranui clan in Medaka Box but the RATIONALE for it’s use in the story is completely mundane autism. Which undercuts the idea of Ohma looking like a “good guy” for turning it down because he doesn’t want to use “forbidden power” to “advance” as opposed to the fact that it’s just fucking stupid, even though it is fundamentally no different to just training very very hard but somehow compressing that information.

Hell Luohan and Tiger Niko have proven that you can totally just strap yourself into a sissy hypnotic headset to directly inject the huisheng into your braincells WITHOUT apparently gaining Shen’s personality. But we can’t use that to conveniently sidestep this really, really stupid trolley problem because USING THE DISHONOURABLE TACTICS OF THE LOATHSOME L**H*N is beneath the dignity of our chivalrous paragon Ohma.

>Hell Luohan and Tiger Niko have proven that you can totally just strap yourself into a sissy hypnotic headset to directly inject the huisheng into your braincells WITHOUT apparently gaining Shen’s personality.

So we have to assume Shen just put up a pdf of all the techniques he's learned and I guess is narrating everything EXCEPT his multiple lives which would already be pretty stupid since this sissy hypno shit seems like a decent backup in case a Connector ever died before they could get around to the Huishenging

>But we can’t use that to conveniently sidestep this really, really stupid trolley problem because USING THE DISHONOURABLE TACTICS OF THE LOATHSOME L**H*N is beneath the dignity of our chivalrous paragon Ohma.

Not to defend Sandro here but he's always had this thing about easy-way outs, shortcuts and relying solely on genetics being these faggy fake and gay strats so I wouldn't be too shocked to find out the sissy hypno shit doesn't compare to full on learning it through trial and error because "experience" and shit

>>282180465
Real talk, if Shen wanted a worthy opponent he could’ve apparently just transmitted his combat data to everyone in the Worm to power promising prospects like Naidan or Fei up to his level. And if L****n was working closely with Worm leadership (for some fucking reason, despite being obviously “evil” even as a little boy) he should’ve known Shen could do this. But obviously, Shen didn’t. The implication being that, as Shen himself confirms, merely giving someone his memories doesn’t put them on his level.

This raises the real question of what the fuck *uoh** even thinks he’s accomplishing trying to fight Shen with something he knows isn’t enough to beat him. Until Sandro eventually admits there is something special about Shen’s genetics even if that something isn’t Superman Syndrome, for all we know *****’s real goal was just to commit suicide in a flashy and memorable way so he can live “forever” as a notable part of Shen’s memory.

>>282180519
>and I guess is narrating everything
I cannot stress enough that the entire plot of Omega would make more sense, not less, if Sandro just MADE THE CYBERBRAIN REAL so that combat data can be easily recorded by cyborgs instead of awkwardly narrated offscreen.
>he’s always had this thing
I know what you mean but it feels weird comparing how much more pronounced it’s become in Omega to Ashura, where Muteba’s dirty fighting was treated as valid fighting spirit material and elite hair care was treated as worthy opponent-tier for Ohma. Not to mention Akoya flat out relying on someone else to efficiencymax and Hanasuda building fucking pneumatic bone swords into his limbs to rules lawyer around tourney rules as well as using fucking bioweapons. In Omega, all those fighters would’ve been clowned on for DARING to not be honourable. And Chiba would’ve still lost, but the enemy fighter would also scream at him for being a technique-stealing thief for 2 pages.

Oh yeah and the Kure behaved like an actual assassin clan instead of fighting in melee 24/7

The way it's treated is fucking retarded though and Sandro is incredibly inconsistenet with it. Shen Wulong is treated as the real deal not the result of 5000 years of child abuse meanwhile Gilbert is the fradulent wannabee son of the real Edward.

>Shen is the result of generations of forced schizophrenia
>The Worms treat Shen like a God anyway because apparently there was never a hitch in Shen's Huisheng plan and it just worked
>Even though current Shen still technically came out wrong during the cloning process, hence the two personalities sharing one body

>Gilbert, the direct clone of Edward who presumably had no hiccups with the cloning process is treated like a belligerent retard who shouldn't rule
>Despite being raised by Edward as his own son and therefore should have direct rule over the Westward's with no issue
>Is being demanded by some non-existent character to go beat up a guy he already beat up because that guy is currently having a generational runback

Jesus christ Sandro just say you don't want to work on the Gilbert subplot anymore, it's fine, no one cares or likes this shit anyway
There's no reason Gilbert has to have this Internal Struggle plot going on, does it really make that big of a difference if he were raised by Eddie or kept in a test tube until Eddie died? Why is Wu Hei's huisheng treated like a flawed version? Shen's seems to just FUCKING WORK and no one questions it yet Eddie only being sort of Wu Hei'd is regarded as icky and gross
Why is the faction who had multiple back ups of Wu Hei just in case forever fucked but the guy who presumably only ever having one kid per generation fine with no issues up until he wanted to spice things up and fight himself?

Anon, reminder that Shen has never tried to train anyone as far as we're aware, nor has he given even the basics of Principles to anyone, not even his closest associates. The Worm desperately want new talent to train their people though, so they won't ask Shen for any pointers but they'll actively try to kill Lolong because he won't join them as a teacher.
Also the Worm as an organization just popped up around Shen and apparently do everything of their own violition, except for the cloning stuff which Shen actually wanted. The Worm also apparently exists to "keep The Connector in check" or whatever, because bombing Italy will stop Shen from going wild I guess.
The point I'm trying to make is stop it. Stop trying to name sense of it. Kengan is retarded.

Shen would genuinely make more sense if Sandro just said fuck it and said that he was legitimately transferring his soul between new vessels to explain why "Shen" is treated as one long existence/entity while the Wu Heis and others are portrayed as schizo larpers.
>hence the two personalities sharing one body
Btw how does this even HAPPEN. How is there a second fucking personality? They both share the same body, the same senses. Both of them had the previous Shen schizobabbling into their ear for their childhood. So why did they manifest different personas who recognize one another as different entities and the like? Especially if they have identical memories?
>>
>>282183958
>How is there a second fucking personality?
My guess is Sandro realising he needed a way for both Ryuki and Ohma to be relevant to the Worm plot, which wouldn't have been a problem at all if, you know, Ohma fucking stayed dead.

How "strong" is Koga now? He beat Ryuki who could beat Adam and Nikaido but I can never comprehend him being on the level of even those two jobbers that Hassad instantly oneshotted in the boat preliminaries. All his "victories" feel riddled with caveats. He's stronger than those "supernovas" but they're all pathetic losers with 0 W's.

He's simultaneously strong and weak. Theoretically he should be top tier after all the training from the strongest and beating Yumi with ease who is at least middle A-lister, but he also can't ever get a clean win against Kenganvengers because Sandro loves his babies too much (R1 losers aren't considered human btw). Just look at Berserker Bowl where Koga got an easy bracket and avoided any Kenganvengers

It's literally in their blood, the eyes don't lie, so it would be hard to refute, but they seem to be their own culture within the clans anyways.

Constant crazy face, Koga can easily beat him by remaining stoic and seeking.

Maybe KAT Okubo, but current Okubo has "scaled" the "wall" by "hearing" of Agito's "exploits".

Koga wins this if he gets the "timing" right and uses "that". He knows Dragon Style and Gaoh Style so he won't be blindsided by Inaba's assassin tricks.

"Kiozan" "has" "also" "scaled" "the" "wall", but he still has no answer to jobbing hexes, like we saw in his fight with Ohma. If Koga principles a knife into his mawashi then it's over for him.

>>282181761
Being raised as Edward's son, in a new generation, alongside his still living pops who he is supposed to "become" ruined his potential to actually inherit Eddie's seat. The kid had no chance because he wasn't legitimately groomed for success. He's got a big head on his shoulders because of the idea of who he's supposed to be.
It's not that Edward is legitimately Wu Hei. He knew Huisheng was bullshit and wanted to put a stop to the practice. He's about as authentically himself as he could be because he already realized the problems with the Huisheng schizo hypno nonsense. That means that an "Edward Wu without Wu Hei" is just an Edward who didn't go through a massive formative experience that colored his perception and understanding of the world. Ironically, being Huisheng'd opened his eyes to the bullshit of the Wu clan and made him MORE FIT to lead because he had a better perspective on what was holding them back. Gilbert is basically just a spoiled brat who didn't live through the same tough times that Eddie did. He'd have been better off trying to be the best version of himself instead of trying to be a worse version of his dad or, fucking laughably, trying to inherit the mantle of Wu Hei.
It's actually really funny that Amir Wu talked about how Huisheng is an abhorrent practice and they have no heir to Wu Hei's personality among their ranks, because neither do the rest of the Wu. Wu Hei is gone forever with the death of Howard, but the Wu clans seem to be under the impression he did inherit them.
>>
>>282186064
>Theoretically he should be top tier after all the training from the strongest
By that logic Rihito should have been top tier after two years of training with Kuroki, but it took him two more years of working hard solo and getting his ass beat for him to "arrive."

>>282187169
You could do much worse than 9-5 against the top shelf competitors. Please have some understanding for Yumigahama, he's the only man who has ever had to fight Lolong Donaire five times in a row.

I honestly was expecting the chapter to end without any mention of Raian after the way it started and the way Amir talked when he walked away.
Also, speaking of that page, what the actual fuck bro. Forget the cuhraaaazee face. Just what is actually going on with his face? What happened to his lips? It looks like someone's face when they aim a leaf blower towards themselves with their mouth open. In fact, I'm tempted to say that's how Daro got the AI to draw this page.

It's equivalent to "showing your weapon". When a samurai or a knight partially unseathes their blade, or when someone carrying a gun pulls it out of the holster to show that they're packing heat.
