When did the hype die?
At the exact and precise page when Ohma got revived
>>282684206Absolute Joker.
>>282684206for hype to "die," it would first need to "exist"
post some images from the good ol days, back when it still sucked but there was still hope for the future
ah... the first and last time sandro had a good idea for a relationship...
haha, classic... hassad soon guys... hahaha... all the good times...
Hassad soon.
ENTER OKUBO
>>282684206Gaolang vs Carlos was when Sandro first started teaching his eternal lesson that you shouldn't look forward to whatever he writes.
>>282684206There were warning signs throughout the entire Purgatory tournament but Fei and Eddie dying is what ultimately killed the hype, two antagonists teased at the end of Ashurs both dying in their first on-screen fight was too much
Is this true? Are there really just 3 styles in Kengan?
>>282684206>Worm barely has jobbers to throw at KA>Gil is marked for death>Nicolas' character is being ruined due to jobber scarcity>even if KA loses nothing will happen for half a century>Tiger Nikek gets weaker with each chapter>Luohan, the last chaos factor, lost his nukes and will either suffer one last deadly humiliation ritual or worse, get turned into a wholesome honorary kenganavenger chungus if Sandro came to like himForget about hype, is it even possible for any of the upcoming chapters to be mildly entertaining?
>>282684206For me it was after Koga vs LihitoFor most it's was Ohma vs Rolon the jobber
I'm seriously praying this tournament kills off half of the entire character pool. Character bloat is killing this series
>>282686780I get it, you want the Kengan Association and the Worm to bury the hatchet and merge together into one huge organization to take on Luohan.
>>282686780Fine, but the casualty is 99% Worm and one random Kengan bodyguard
Sick'o
>>282686463We could get some really stupid dream matchups executed comically poorly
>>282687253>one random Kengan bodyguardAnon, that's far too grim a tragedy for this kind of manga. What if Himuro, the Icy Emperor, gets a paper cut after killing a few hundred Worm bastards? I feel like that's the sort of pyrrhic victory that's a lot more palatable.
Hype went into negatives at Five Nights at Ohma's and never recovered
>>282688565Are you implying THE Legend Himuro would suffer such fatal wound from the dirty Worm? He'd likely get a scratch from our hero Raian's shochwave punch instead
>>282684595>could have been a cool friends to enemies arc>they just patched up offscreen 3 chapters after the climatic farewell
Good luck to all the players for tomorrow's special match tournament. Hoping to put that advice to practice and dodge bad Ryuki's bad matchups like Ohma and Koga and make it out of pools.
>>282685481That's without even taking the Xia humiliation ritual into account
>>282689710I remember when we were coping that Xia Ji was an assassin so it'd make sense he lost to Raian in a straight fight...and then he was retconned into a total shitter
>>282689677As A Chiba main I am blessed to have no bad matchups
>>282684206I think most people just accepted it as comedy manga after Edward died.
are y'all ready for the stupidest fucking twist
>>282690307>a previous connector with Hushen's DNA nutted in a woman just to experience sex at least once>Shen knows this and has already discovered Koga's ancestry links back to him>he doesn't want to say anything because he doesn't want his friendship with Joji to become some familial thing
>>282690307>hate hispanics
>>282690307It'd be funny if silver spoon Koga evolves to Platinum Spoon Koga The ultimate martial arts prodigy of the destined bloodline
>>282690468It will turn out to be a bet Shen had with Tiger>hey, lets see whose offspring will end up more powerful>you, with a trillion dollar genetic lab and a thousand clones>or me, who came in a prostitute like 2 days ago
>>282690667Daring gamble to presume the prostitute will keep the baby
Apparently Sandro is capable of making the villain look strong while humiliating someone on the wholesome chungus side, he just doesn't do it in Omega for whatever reason
>>282690821Those characters are too fresh so Sandwich isn't attached
>>282690821Sandro writes Strike it Rich. "The Aberrant One" writes Omega.
>>282684595>good idea for a relationship>two action figures standing next to each other drinking in silence
>>282690821You faggots can't help but shill this shit everywhere you can, can you? The villain didn't look strong, she got one-tapped by the shitty MC after beating a designated jobber.
>>282690821To Sandro among the good guys the weakest ones are still considered expendable jobbers and can be humiliated, like Sawada or Murobuchi. As long as you pass a certain threshold like R2 KAT you'll get all the privilege of a Kenganvenger and will never look bad against villain
>>282684595Too bad it was made at the cost of Shen getting along with Kazuo instead. Unfortunately, that option would have risked involving Kazuo directly in the plot instead of reducing him to a bit character.I would have preferred Joji (or for that matter, other members of the Rokushin Kaikan) to actually fight a relevant named character than have him drink the beer with Shen in the background (Joji literally just had a single spar with Ohma, are you kidding me?), anti-climactically break up and reconcile just as abruptly. I felt no attachment to this one-off gag. It felt like Sandro trying to replicate Edward's charisma.>>282690821Is the character new and/or female for Sandro to get attached to?>>282691297>antagonist got one-shottedDamn. That post actually made me curious about Isshou Senkin's latest chapter, turns out it was false hope.I wouldn't be too harsh though, people's standards have just "scaled" the wall so much they think a drop of water is a deluge of gold.
>>282691416 (Me)>one-off gagI don't know why I typed this when I know it showed up over and over again. I'll just chalk it up to a Freudian slip, because I DID genuinely forgot Shen and Joji were proper buddies at all until I saw that post.
>>282691297>Beating the shit out of the Sena Sister no one cares about>Is being hyped as being on par with the Star Children>Immediately gets beaten and countered by an angry HinaThe "Who Cares" Sena Sister was fed just to hype Hina, those coins are plummeting even harder
>>282684595This friendship led to Sandro getting too attached to Shen as a character to portray him negatively, and in turn coming up with Luohan to offload all of Shen's sins on to. It would have been for the better if it never happened.
Koji soon.
>>282684595>I can't hit my friend, Jose...It'd be really funny if Sandro didn't whitewash Shen and let him keep committing atrocities as Worm while Joji just ignore everything because they're "friends"
>>282684206"My" hype died when Lu Tian died. Perhaps it is hard for "you" to believe but I was "fine" with everything before "that".
>>282684206Because Kengan Omega has no stakes, Sandro ensured nobody would take a villain seriously. Even potential foes, get the joke character treatment to let you know they're on "your side" like the schizophrenic treatment of Shen and him caring about making clones then immediately calling it off because they asked nicely. The martial arts stop mattering, it became more about your vague martial arts "powerlevel" which allows you to do "whoosh whoosh" hands better with the enemy kneeling down after calling you unfathomable. I've quite been enjoying reading Versus and despite the art which I'm pretty sure the Tenkaichi guy was told to ape Murata, I am still interested in what is happening in the world.
>>282690821>Acting like feeding the remenants of the """"good"""" guys to hype up the revenge of the wholesome crusaders is something novel>Conveniently forgetting the chase of Xia and Ryuki/Akoya's humiliationLMAO, it even has the audience having morals and acting like one of the fighters getting beaten is suddenly bad.No wonder SiR's discussion is dying. Even when copying Kengan it doesn't carry that comical touch.
>>282690307What I thought was slightly weird was Koga being juuuuust too late to meet Tiger, when he could've just not been in the scene at allNarrowly avoiding a potentially very important character
>>282684350Yet you keep going back
koga and ryuki are le brother
>>2826842065 nights at Ohma
>Missed Wednesday dump because I went /out/ with friends>Felt a nagging at the back of my head the entire time>Couldn't read it in Thursady and Friday because of IRL stuff>The nagging kept getting more loud>Read the chapter on Saturday>Suddenly feel comfortable afterwardSandro has completely buck-broke me.
>>282692636Shitting on Omega is just fun, anon
>>282691297We get it. Women trigger you.
>>282692368Versus is fun because Humanity is constantly on the cusp of getting wiped the fuck out by whatever NE they come across so you get to see how they deal with each situation with the limited resources that they have and you even get to see how the NE's themselves start to struggle with each other, so really everyone's safety is on a timer Kengan blows ass because Sandro makes it very clear he has no intentions for the Protags to ever truly struggle or come into conflict with their morality. Ohma is broing it up with Shen, the guy who had him cloned specifically to body snatch later and yet they're both chilling at a campfire both agreeing that Luohan sucks
>>282692665Meanwhile, Strike it Rich is just fun.
>>282692665Would agree if I took a part in the process. But I read it after the threads got archived. Kengan is now a part of my weekly diet. I can't live without it.>>282692694Nah, I dropped it like a couple of chapters ago. Doesn't have the same grabbing power as Kengan. Either as a serious series on its own or something to ridicule.
>>282692684Versus is shit because it prevents the artist from working on Tenkaichi full time
>>282692745>Tenkaichi is shit because it prevents the artist from working on Versus full time
>>282692731Good for you, but I disagree.
>>282692751He was working on Tenkaichi first, that fucking traitor
>>282692752I wouldn't exactly call having Kengan as an essential weekly reading to be a good fate. But it's a two minutes at best and the discussion is still fun. So yeah, looking at the bright things in life does help.
>>282686463Don't ask questions, just consume chatgpter and get excited for next chatgpter
>>282691416She didn't get one shot.
Bros why do we let SiRchads live in our minds rent free? Is it because they are able to enjoy their manga which is superior compared to our AIslop while we pretend to like our manga ironically and cry about Sandro every wednesday?
>>282692745>literal Wu jobber in the latest fightIād rather he focuses on Versus
>
>>282690468>>282690667>Koga and Kazzy's kinetic vision is revealed to have come from the Connector, who's had this ability all along>get multiple pages explaining that these people, alongside many in history, are only great because they had a drop of the Connector's blood
Petebros? Can we do it?
>>282692368>I've quite been enjoying reading VersusI hate Versus. I like the world, characters, and story, but there's just way too much shit going on for a monthly manga, it's going to take a fucking decade for this thing to end unless they start rushing it to give it an ending randomly.It's been going on for 3 years now and we aren't even in the midgame of the plot yet. We've only got a decent look at a third or so of the Natural Enemies, one of them we literally don't know anything about, they're only just starting to cross over with each other, there's zero indication of any them being beatable, and any time we get a chapter it's a total dice roll of whether it'll be about Zaybi's, Hallow's, or Jachi's adventures, or if it'll be a one off about some other side character or Natural Enemy.I wish we could just kill the artist's other work so it could be weekly, or at least fortnightly
The whole clone/connector/consecutor plot is so fucking stupid I cannot help but laugh>Reveal that Ohma and Ryuki are clones of a crazy Chinese Martial Artist that wants to brainjack their bodies>Also reveal that there is a third "failed" (never elaborated on) clone that wants to stop him and take over>Ryuki and Ohma somehow both decide that this clone is evil and the man who literally wants to put his brains in their bodies is the good guy>Also reveal that there are actually 20 more clones, 2 of which are loyal to the organization who made them for the sole purpose of serving as fleshpuppets for the Chinese Martial Artist>These two clones attack the "evil" clone for real purpose besides demonstrating how he has learned martial arts through VR presentations, but we have no prior reference of their skill level so this is completely pointless>They get stomped and then later get stomped even harder by Ohma while saying empty shit about how much better Ohma is compared to Luohan but surely Luohan is even stronger now>Their fight with Ryuki is then completely skipped>They then turn to look straight at the reader and say that they are leaving the story and you'll never see them or their brothers againSo we had two Ohmas drop in, job in all their fights, and proceed to not develop any plot point at all or reveal anything of substance except I guess a 4-year-old Luohan being behind Ohma and Ryuki being kidnapped by Mukaku.
>>282693402Luohan is zesty and that's unforgivable
>>282693402>Woah! Ohma's so strong!!>... actualyl Ryuki can basically do the sameYou know we're in a bad place when Sandro can't even wank Ohma well anymore
>>282693014He has no style, he has no graceThis jobber has a funny faceHe can change weapons when he needs toAnd stretch his muscles out, just for youInflate himself just like a balloonThis chinky chong just digs this tune!
Do you play BR games?
>>282684350You may think that Ohma coming back was bad, but want to something much scarier? If he had not, then Shen would have taken over the protagonist spot considering how much Sandro loves him.
Are you hyped for the next chapter?
>>282693597>Yumigamaha Wu
>>282693704So much so I'm starting to have premonitions!
>>282693614Only nightreign and that doesn't count
I want to fight my fellow kenganbros to further my Niko style. Who's up for it?
