Can Jean defeat the REAL Nicholas for the FIRST time tomorrow?
>>284030201Would be fun if Akoya showed up to help.That guy always uplifts any chapter he’a in. I love Akoya
>>284030307>I hope the KENGANVENGER steps in and saves the day!
Hassad soon.
>>284030201The art has just gotten so bad...Its what breaks my heart the most about this manga falling apart.
>>284030201I dunno man... Jean already used two C (urves) while Nic only used one C (urve). Things aren't looking good for our protagonist
>Ended up playing an old WWF game>See Razor RamonFucking.
Ah, yes, time for our weekly barbeque.
Why can't Baki be weekly instead of this?
I look forward to today's barbeque.
I hope Sandro won't forget that Jean had been bedridden for years since KvP and not asspull out any secret training
I hope Sandro won't forget that Ohma fucked up his entire body using Possessing Spirit since Ashura and won't asspull out training with Raian
>>284036278He’s got a cyberheart now so no health issues lolSpeaking of can he do super cyber advance now?
>>284036361I don't think he's used Possessing Spirit since his fight with Lolong, last time he used Possessing Spirit he was flickering it on and off because that's all he could do which sounds like it'd hurt more but whatever
>>284036376...And before that he used possessing spirit for a prolonged period against worm jobbers just fine.
>>284036386It's kind of crazy that the main character would go this long without using the flagship transformation technique but I guess Sandro was in the process of phasing stuff like that out when drip feeding Principles into the narrativeStuff like Possessing Spirit and Removal are for jobbers now
What outcome of the Nicolas fight would make you react like this?
>>284036461Better question. What wouldn't? Sandro is so talented that our expectations could be 11 layers lower than the lowest levels of hell itself and we'd STILL get subverted.
>>284034557Do you want Daro's GPU to take over drawing Baki for Itagaki too?
>>284030201SANDROOOOOOOOOOO
>>284036824We love Sandrokino here
>>284036902
>>284036932
>>284036278>>284036415My initial thought was that Tiger Niko would do this for some new bullshit compilation of super forms beyond even Divine Demon, but I wouldn't be surprised if principles let Ohma do some kind of magic manipulation of his meridians with yogic breathing that let him use the advance with no drawbacks now.
>>284036902Well said "me".
>>284036461If Nicolas siddenly pulled power of friendship and could mimic ALL purgatory fighting styles because he’s been "friends" with them for that long
Mm, I sure can't wait to enjoy a nice barbeque on my lawn. I sure hope no filthy animals flood in and start shitting everywhere.
>>284030201The very fact that Liu is present means that Jean will be too green, Nicolas will likely say something to shit on Naidan, and Liu will mid diff Nicolas
>Sandro finally managed to create a villain we aren't rooting for>instead of by being a hateable evil person, it's because his presence is a retarded retcon actively making past writing worse, and ruining another character more with each "reveal" he offers us
SHHHHYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA
>>284037908>the real Nicolas invented a shitty martial art better suited for his friend instead of himself>Jean was turned from a tragic figure broken by the betrayal and death of his friend into a sore loser who hallucinated himself winningWhy does Sandro bother?
I have to say, I'm impressed. We're like, what, not even 5 chapters in and this tournament is already on good pace to be the shittiest arc of the entire series. That *has* to take some talent in a way.
Oh shit. It's Wednesday! Good day for a cookout, if you know what I mean!
>>284030201Why don't these guys go into prostitution or become male hosts? Their godly bodies are wasted on martial arts.
>Thank goodness we got here on time! Leave this bastard to us, Jean!
>>284038363>pitch of the arc is big free for all fortnite tournament>oh but also all the bad guys have direct orders not to go after good guys and will only fight in self defense>the good guys won't fight each other either because they're all united kenganvengers nobly fighting to defend their best friend ohma(and that other guy ryuji or whatever his name is)>everybody is just having fun campouts and making out in the woods right now like ohma and okubo presumablySo.... where does this arc even go from here? What the point in even using this format if nobody wants to fight? Why not make it everyone vs Shen from the start? After Nicolas goes off that cliff, who's left who might proactively fight one another? Raian vs Gilbert, possibly the most dreaded fight in the series? MAYBE Jurota is crazy enough to break ranks with the Kenganvenger agenda and go after Masaki, but that's about it.Tiger Niko and Lu*han crashing the tournament I guess? But even then that's just two more fights, hardly enough to justify this framework.
I don't keep up with this anymore, when was the last time a new interesting character showed up.
>>284032994>>284035527>
>>284038458>rip off Tough's battle royale arc>so far fail to have even a fraction of the brutality Tough had>say Six is on par with the stronger Worms then have him get annihilated by Ohma because even in what may be Omega's final arc there must not be any stakes or threats whatsoeverWhy is Sandro like this bros?
>had an entire post ready to go>accidentally closed tab right before posting itI will just post random tits and leave
>>284038696>say Six is on par with the stronger Worms then have him get annihilated by Ohma because even in what may be Omega's final arc there must not be any stakes Don't forget that Ohma also said he wasn't even worth OKUBO's time either. So that's the threat scale we're at now. White tattoo level worms are "warmup for Okubo" tier. I'm so terrified for our heroes, bros...
>discussion dying because most of Worm members are faceless goons that don't even let readers speculate their fighting style or backgroundI'm surprise a master of creating (fake) hype like Sandro can fumble this hard. Even KvP was much better at farming discussion
>>284032162The Eddie fight had pretty good art and that didn't save it from being one of the worst in the series. Daro can't salvage this dogshit by just trying harder.
>>284036386That was the low-output version he came up with for the Kuroki fight.
>>284038873The last time we got a new character design who had people intrigued and cautiously optimistic, it was Ramon. So I don't think even if Daro gave us a full AI generated lineup of numbered Worm mooks, it'd generate much buzz at this point.
>>284036415I may detest Sandro and his writing with every fiber of my being, but I am fully on board with him writing these bullshit transformations out of the story.
>be student walking around campus yesterday going to do an exam>some dude is in an open space doing a presentation to some crowd about networking types in English(esl country)>mentions "the Connector">mind immediately Sandrod>go to do the exam but my brain is just spinning Kengan memes around instead of thinking>get results for the exam today>get a shitty score but just barely didn’t fail>mfw "I" passed by razor thin margins
>>284038873Our HERO Chopstick Johnny will SAVE the hype.
>>284038458The rest of the arc will just be Sandro writing random fights he feels like writing with some half-assed justification, with filler chapters of some random Kenganvengers chatting about "what the worm could possibly be planning" inbetween. At the end Ohma fights Shen and wins in an extremely unsatisfying way. If we're lucky Luohan shows up.
>>284038897Sandro is clearly going for a repeat of the Terashi effect where people are constantly discussing the potential identity of the masked character. He's failed to realize nobody cares anymore.
>>284038964Terashi is still one of the most baffling things Sandro ever wrote.>design constantly shapeshifting >daro claimed he had "a familiar face" and that was before he totally checked out and hated the fans>the purgatory team treats him like a familiar teammate despite that apparently he's not>obsessed with lolong for some reason>the kengan people don't know anything about him even though you can easily trace a bit of history at least, by looking up that he was in bishamon before it got absorbed >build up the suspense of the mask, and this ancient chinese assassin legend>literally NOTHING to do with himGenuinely what the FUCK did Fei/Sandro mean by this page?
>>284039052>To think Okubo found out Terashi's weakness is being punched in the face... the Kengan Association is full of monsters...I think the commentary team was just under meth this match honestly.
>>284038964Kengan Omega is basically a glorified engagement farming mechanism. He doesn't care about consistency or good writing in general. He writes whatever will get people talking so that he can raise metrics and get the occasional new paypiggy.
>we never saw terashi visit osaka with okubo or learn martial arts>the jean plotline was shelved for almost half a fucking decade>we never saw medel further refine his style and bulk up>falcon becoming kuroki disciple and training with rihito? offscreen>ryuki's mental health deteriorating from the influence of kiryu and akoya? offscreenBut boy howdy it sure is a good thing that Sandro made sure to spend chapters on introducing ten million completely pointless filler characters like the supernovas!
>>284038873>Even KvPThat was the last best arcThe last best fight was Koga vs Ryuki
On the 4chan /a/ board, the opinion on Kengan Omega is generally mixed to negative, with a common sentiment that the series has declined in quality since its predecessor, Kengan Ashura. Anons frequently express disappointment and believe the series has significant "missed potential".Common CriticismsPacing Issues: A major complaint is the poor pacing of the story and fights, with some fights feeling rushed or ending abruptly.Plot and Storytelling: Anons often criticize the confusing and "loopy" plot, particularly regarding the "Worm" organization's narrative and the heavy use of cloning (Huisheng) and "weird sci-fi stuff," which many feel takes away from the martial arts focus.Wasted Characters and Deaths: There is widespread dissatisfaction with important characters being "wasted" or killed off quickly for the sake of plot progression (e.g., Naidan, Fei, Mukaku). The villains, in particular, are often seen as "jobbers" who never win and look like "losers".Ohma's Revival: The decision to bring Ohma back to life is frequently cited as an "objectively awful" choice that removes all stakes and undermines the impactful, bittersweet ending of Kengan Ashura.Declining Art Quality: Some anons believe the art quality has decreased, with artist Daromeon's occasional use of AI (Stable Diffusion) for backgrounds and character poses drawing criticism as a "shortcut" that sometimes "looks really bad".Character Development: Main characters like Ohma and Koga are sometimes described as becoming "planks of wood" or poor protagonists, with a lack of compelling development compared to the original series.Moments of Excitement: Certain individual chapters or fight outcomes can still generate excitement and surprise, leading to hope that the series might "return to its former glory". Overall, the general opinion on 4chan /a/ is that Kengan Omega is a frustrating experience for fans who loved Ashura, often failing to meet the high expectations set by its predecessor.
>>284039427Hey ChatGPT, is it true that Yabako "Sandwich" Sandrovich asks you to write each week's Kengan Omega chapter like 5 minutes before his weekly manuscript deadline is due?
one of the most amazing pages of this manga
>>284039427Writer AMA? Based.
>>284039449No matter how I rewrote your post, the AI refused to answer. But with the same wording I found reddit posts from users who were unsatisfied with the story. Unexpected.

Any real chance that Nicholas can actually win and survive from this whole fiasco against Jean and Liu? I just can't see it bros with how Sandro treats his villain kek
>>284032162
>>284036461>Having expectationsThat post is green.
>>284040191He will fall down the AI cliffWe will not be told whether he survived until Kengan Alpha
>>284040191Since Jean and Liu aren't Kenganvengers Nicolas may get away with it. But then...so what? Jean only has connection with Jean and no one else. Even if he wins he doesn't have anyone else to fight except maybe jobbing to another stronger fighter
Is there any martial art in real life that is based on redirection like the Niko style and the style Garou uses? I always find it so cool in fiction even though current Niko style isn't cool at all...
>>284039613I really liked it when Ohma was alive.
>>284040263Bro...Akoya?...TeraSHIT?
>>284040191Yes. Did you forget Naidan's words? Beware of Nicolas. What, did you think he meant Jean? Anon...
>>284040290How do a worthless, dead Worm member like Naidan’s words carry any weight now?
>>284040238I'll take any of these over the current sloppa we get every week, yes, even Akoya.
>>284040268Bro, just use your brain for a minute and stop living in dododa land.
>>284040268
>>284037086For me, it's my perception of the color green. It's damaged beyond repair.
>>284040451Literally me
>>284040268No, you can't just magically redirect force like that. It's an exaggerated fictionalized version of some principles(kek) that do exist in real martial arts, ie "dispersing force" by taking an impact in a preferable way or using someone's own momentum to help throw them, just in a fantastical way.
>>284040358>dododa landBut I like dododa land...See >>284040451? Real land is boring, far too boring...
>>284038411Holy shit there's no way these guys could lose.
>>284040451>the finger
>>284040468Thank you. I'm sorry for being so so stupid and delusional.
>>284040536>no days offI thought breakchads do win sometimes?
>>284040536What a dream job...
>>284040561He sounds miserable...
>>284040568His comment honestly sounds like a plea for help.
>>284040536has daro ever attempted to rise above his station or is his life just drawing something he has no love for while complaining about it
>>284040547Eh, it's such a common cliche in martial arts series that I can sort of understand wondering if any of it is legitimately possible. If you're genuinely interested in martial arts, I'd recommend judo if you can find a good instructor, it's the closest analogue in real life to that kind of thing even if you won't learn how to use Swing.
>>284040577Actually, why did Daro hate Kengan so much? I mean, he just uses AI for it anyway, so why the hate? Does he have the same hate for his other manga, if he even has any to begin with? I really have no idea.
>>284040536Do you guys sometimes think Daro comes here to see us diss Sandro and go on our Kengan autism death spirals?
>>284040606Whiners are whiners for a reason anons. They just whine.
>>284040536What has caused this man to be like this? What happens behind the scenes?This and more on Kengan Alpha!
>>284039772We can't go worse than the RCT. Ohma's five fiery flops falls short because it's 8 chapters.
>>284032162You can tell daro does it because he has to. The art hasnt been good in over 4 years
>>284038458The most revealeing thing to me about this arc is that it revealed the KA fighters as a bunch of pussies.Remember when Fighters literally watched the fights even after losing because they wanted to find out who's the strongest? Even Chiba, a guy who did it for money, wanted to know. Now fighters agree to a BR-style event because Shen makes them soil their pants. The desire to actually prove yourself as the strongest is no longer there.If they actually had a semblance of their personalities from Ashura they would wait near the gate until everyone entered and started a brawl right then and there. But I guess Shen Wulong is too spooky for that.
>>284038458The sad truth is that Sandrobitch is a fucking SoLtroon who wishes he could be writing some K-on like garbage, so the mentions of tournaments and fights are only the minimum lip service he can get away with.
>>284040606He has a good gig going. Why risk it?
>>284040451S-Steven Seagal-sama???
>>284040709Does he have a good gig going? Because from what it sounds like it's a thankless, breakless gig that he is completely apathetic towards
>>284040606Daro did do a series on his own before becoming enslaved to Sandro. It did not do well.
>>284040536So who is in the wrong here, Sandro or Daro?
>>284040694>SayakaShe is as dead inside as Daro nowReally sad to see considering how good her seiyuu is
>>284038911Lmaoooo
>>284040743Who cares? It's all about money, kid.
>the faggot arrived
>>284040511Looks like the wrestling coach from Garouden.
I'm in the middle of perfecting my "huisheng" style...AMA
>>284040694To be honest I really didn't like this stupid "we're all buddies now" atmosphere that started to take place during the KAT. I look back fondly at Adam calling Cosmo a little bitch.
>>284040743Truth is he's a very mediocre artist whose solo works flopped, so it's not like he has other ways of making a living.>>284040750Sandro 100%.
>>284040776>vagueposting in Keng/a/nWow I sure hope this mysterious "faggot" is strong.
>>284030201He's going to get poked and smacked around for almost the entire chapter and then in the last two pages he will do some sneaky counter move and say some cornball shit like ''I will not lose because my friends are supporting me!!!'' and then Nic will double down on his neutral evil smug face and say ''haha yes... entertain me a little...'' and 1 to 3 chapters later it will end with him dead not having done any lasting damage.
>>284038911You were awesome Anon, one of the top 5 students to take this exam
>>284040893Back then at least it felt more like a general sense of camaraderie as fellow martial artists, that still left room for rivalries and clashes. Not everybody respected or liked their opponents after, and they were utterly brutalizing each other in the ring if that's what it took to win.Now every fight is at least 50% panels of compliment hexing, and nobody gets hurt besides a layer of Daro's hexagon blood brush.Remember in the berserker bowl when Cosmo tried to dislocate one of Saw's bones, and everybody freaked the fuck out at this happening in their underground corporate bloodsport betting ring?
>>284039212>>falcon becoming kuroki disciple and training with rihito? offscreenI thought we'd at least see Stubble Lihito after that to symbolize his development but nope
>>284040743>Paid well>Has a fanbase>Friends with mangaka like ONE>Name recognition means he'll find work after Kengan>Still has time for his hobbiesSounds like a good one to me.
>>284040985Drinking on streams is not a good hobby
Walter Cox and Colonel Sanders soon.
>>284040973Yeah you're kinda right to point out it wasn't that bad back then.>Remember in the berserker bowl when Cosmo tried to dislocate one of Saw's bones, and everybody freaked the fuck out at this happening in their underground corporate bloodsport betting ring?I know it's a rhetorical question to provide this example, but I have absolutely no memory of it. I only remember Saw being reduced to a headbutt machine. Don't even remember who won.
Think about it. There's a non-zero chance one of the OCs here is from Daro himself.
>>284040925I’m sure Koga can neg diff Neko Niko
>>284040893It was annoying but that's a different matter. If anything their insistance on saving Ohma and Ryuki should push them to confront him even more.
In a way, sandroisms are like an average guy with a baseball bat. Weak on paper, but a single sudden well-timed attack can knock out even the most experienced keng/a/n poster.
>>284040998You're just jealous because you can't do it without getting banned.

>>284041047Reading Karakuri Circus post-Kengan is impossible because of this character. I think of Kengan like those foods in Toriko that rewire your understanding of taste. Even characters humblebragging is enough to raise alarms.
>>284041499I'm still not sure if I should consider Kazzy a completely incompetent moron for not researching Lolong beforehand or Gaolang an asshole for not revealing he knew Lolong's whole life story before the final match.
>>284041917>>284041963They call him... "The Barbequer"....
>>284041843Yami Bakura? No. He loses but he's a threat each time.
>>284042113How could a "jobber" be a "threat"? New kind of Sandro lore?
>>284042134If I come a "hairs breadth" away from slicing your neck with my knife each time, am I still not a threat because you haven't died yet?
>>284042145Yeah, you are a jobber since you're destined to lose EVERYTIME
>>284042134>He is a threat bro trust me. NOOOOOO he's not a jobber, he's a threatMy my so this is the hidden Sandro lore we missed. This is how Sandro operates with all his villains kek.
>>284041843He's close due to him jobbing every single time he's on screen but he doesn't fit the bill because he still works and progresses toward a concrete objective. Even the Ghouls who are mostly servicable mooks often manage to set up believable stakes.

>>284038911It's logical, you went limp on your brain and managed to avoid total failure
>>284042233Heh, Nicolas might be strong, but as long as Jean can take advantage of that "timing"
>>284042826This is still so stupid. Did he think this right before blacking out, did he recover instantly after the fight was called or did he just give up and decided to fake being KO'd?

>>284042910WHERE THE FUCK IS OHMA? IT'S BEEN WEEKS! HE COULD BE RUSTY AT THIS POINT, WE NEED TO SEND HIM OUR STRONGEST WORMS PRONTO JUST TO MAKE SURE!
>>284042841He said it while blacking out, very weakly.
>>284042841Remember that part in Baki where it's revealed that Jack has an automatic attack that will trigger even if he's knocked out? Well, some characters in Kengan got a similar thing. The sheer determination to suck each other off allowed them to develop a special "complement reflex", as I call it.
>>284042975>a special "complement reflex"I see, and what real life martial art is it inspired by?
>a single mistakehoweverGODS... i have a good feeling about this
>"In the underground arena that will never see the light of day, two beasts are facing off. Wishing upon their fists.">Two years after the events of Kengan Ashura, a young man named Narushima Koga aims to enter the Kengan matches, while also seeking out Tokita Ohma for a mysterious reason. He begins to work under Yamashita Kazuo when he meets Gaoh Ryuki, the spitting image of Ohma. Now with a massive showdown between the Kengan Association and Purgatory, another underground martial-arts fighting organization, looming in the background, how will Kouga become strong enough to take part in the legendary Kengan fights?
>>284043017>However... THERE WAS A SECOND MISTAKE
>Tch…what a shitty sahate
I JOBBED
>>284043084comikey.....
Nicolas looks weirdly wide on the first page
are you fucking kidding me
lmao this shit is so bad
>a villain actually wonkeng/a/nbros?>worm bans Nic from attacking otherswhat a villainous organization...
Holy fuck this was some baki tier jobbing. And for some reason Nicolas is looking more and more like Koga
Wait a villain actually won for once. Okay, show me Liu shitstomping him a month from now.
>I have to take advantage of Nicolas' arrogance!not again...
>>284043165Kowho?
That dastardly worm...strictly forbidden from attacking anyone at all...
I actually don't dislike the chapter as much as I thought. I was sure the mistake would be that Jean got stronger, but instead it was the other way around.I am under no illusion that he won't be fodderized by Liu, but I appreciate Sandro's attempt at building some tension.
>he FLED
>>284043172Nicolas was too weak, that's why he won.
>he angered the jobber that barely won with a shitty ringout against an even bigger jobberwow
This was so underwhelming.
>>284030201>Can Jean defeat the REAL Nicholas for the FIRST time tomorrow?answer: no
>ruin jean's backstory by retconning real nicolas back to life>make him into a pathetic shitter jobber >all for the sake of providing liu with a target for his "revenge" that isn't shengus or yan because they're honorary kenganvengers nowI HATE SANDRO I HATE SANDRO I HATE SANDRO
AKOYA!! I NEED YOU AKOYA!!!
Why does Jean look like Koga?>Liu's focus has been reshifted to the real NicolasNot like he ever had a chance to take revenge on Shen.
yeah sure, Liu is a threat, good joke.
>the leaked panel returnsAnd anons at the time thought it was all fake. See! SEE?!
>>284043003Pro-Wrestling
>>284040945I'm glad to be wrong for once, too bad everyone is a faggot now and killing is le hecking bad so the single only villain onscreen victory has been meaningless.
Real Nicolas might be a genuine high tier antagonist fighter. It’s been so long…
>>284041084Holy shit the left image isn't edited so the right one is probably real too. This is too funny.
>>284043217did you ever think that liu was going to take out shen
>Brought back just to job so that Liu will look better later Jean...
>>284043165>>284043161It was a Purgatory shitter so it barely counts
>2 chapters of filler and retcons just to give Liu the motivation that he already came in with the tournament to begin withWhat was the point?
>>284043245He actually won his KvP match tho
>>284043283>ringoutbetter to lose
>>284043281>>284043217
This outcome makes sense but why did Liu let it happen just because the atrophied schizo asked him to pinkie swear on it
I think Naiden vs Liu would've been great if he was still alive
>>284037908>The one fucking time we're rooting against the villain is the FIRST fucking time a undeniable villain (Raian doesn't count for Sandro) wins clean against an undeniable heroI am genuinely in shock, seriously can one of you think of a single time this has happened
>>284043257Don't kid yourself. He's just a feeder for Liu
>>284043297>t. nitoku

>>284043331the ancient chinese art of sexual healing
>>284043266No? The point is that Sandro is throwing some completely unrelated villain who shouldn't exist at him who decided to read up on a random guy's backstory so he could taunt him, so he can just treat Liu beating real Nicolas as closure for all that. Obviously I didn't expect him to beat Shen, or probably even Yan, but they could have thrown Fu Zhan or some other white worm at him to do basically the same thing "MWAHAHAHA I WAS THE ONE WHO ORDERED NAIDAN TO KILL HIMSELF LOL WHATCHA GONNA DO", without also ruining the Nicolas backstory in the process.
>>284043341thanks
>>284043331Drag Jean back to the entrance and toss him out so Kengan staffs can give him medical aid
So what's our reaction going to be when Liu completely curbstomps Nicolas?
>>284043257>the crusher of comatose patient
>>284043331strike his ruptured blood vessels to stop the bleeding and draw all his blood back in, he is the "4000 year old prodigy" afterall
>>284043395I'm going to hope that Nicolas wins so that my expectations get subverted.
>>284043395
>>284043359It's kind of funny that Liu had his whole revenge lust against Ryuki that could have been used here, but Sandro can't have his good guys have any animosity towards each other so we get this plot instead.
unironically Nicholas is really interesting
>>284043331Don't worry, in the kenganverse passive damage is disabled outside matches. That's why Naidan stalled the fight until he died, but Ivan survived after getting slashed and falling unconscious.
>>284043395Liu will do well, but ultimately will need help to beat him 2v1. Question is, who?
>>284043437
This is all I have in me.
>>284043450Too bad he’s with the wooooorm
Just as I expected. Jean losing to give Liu the motivation for REVENGE. Sandro is getting predictable.
>>284043463BY GOD IT'S CYBERFEI WITH A STEEL CHAIR
You've got it all wrong. Jean "nicked" Nicholas and that will be the "deciding blow" for when Liu "fights" him.
>>284043437I really do miss them...
How does worm team benefits from that?
>villains win when they are actively unlikableW-What does it mean? Everything is upside down...
>>284043524You ever play with a murder hobo?
>>284043450yeah so was Edward, whatever happened to that guy?
>>284043463Narratively it would be Ryuki, but I would like someone more fun to show up
>>284043437KEK
>good chapter>teasing a future bad chapterI don't know how to feel about this...
>>284043524You see, they're just morally ambiguous anti-heroes and not VILE DEMONS like L***an and his lackeys
>>284043437Kino, could use Edward, Willem, and Mukaku added on the side though.
>>284038696You've just reminded me I've been putting Tough off forever. How do I read it? Koukou Tekkenden Tough -> Tough?
>why did you spare me nicolas>idk lol>lethally injures him and walks off without a spare thoughtSandro is an unfathomable character writer.
>>284043524It made me laugh how the panel of him backtracking against Liu turned into him teleporting into a forest, there's zero thought to the flow or panelling anymore
Alright fuckers. He enters Asura Kat instead of Cosmo. How well does he fare?
>>284043524They ordered all their people not to fight any good guys so Shen can have all the fun. They're literally only there apparently to make sure nobody disrupts the tournament, which means when Luohan crashes it, they'll be on the Kenganvenger side in Omega's version of the Everybody vs White Suits chapters.
JuliusGODS..........soon......
>>284043644He stomps it by nature of powercreep, obviously, start to finish, minimal issues.
>>284043524It's all for Shen's fun. It should be obvious by now.
>>284030201I forgot it was chapter time
>Nicolas beat Jean so bad he mindbroke himself into thinking he won>Copied the perfect style for his body and reaction speed from Nicolas>Nicolas developed light years ahead of him in the style Man, Jean was a real shitter all along
>>284043631He used the same Worm teleportation jutsu as Six.
>>284043670My HEROOOOOOOOOO!!!
>>284043302
>>284043670BEAST!!!
>>284043644I mean on paper he would sweep because he essentially has a touch of death, but narratively, his opponent would "scale" up to him and randomly power through the vessel burst or just straight up not get hit.
Damn what a scrub Jean is
>>284043644Beats Adam easily because he'd try to tankEither beats Akoya even harder because all he can do is tank but if Hayami is still doing her vitals tracking cheat he might actually winIf he wins he has to fight a half dead Ohma who cant advance so i'd bet on himHas to beat a just as dead Waka but might be able to no sell para/blood vessels because strong blood idkKuroki dog walks him
>>284043644Ohma uses Niko Style vessel compression technique to med diff him.
>>284043644That remind me, does he have high reaction speed like Jean, too?
>>284043644He stops at Akoya, bacause Asura Akoya is a completely different beast from Omega Akoya. And even if he won he would be very injured like Cosmo
>>284043526That they’ll keep winning until you like them
>>284043704*Nicolas beat Jean so bad he mindbroke himself into thinking he won so miraculously that he thinks he lost
>>284043437He really is the villain
>>284041755You called?
>>284043775Adam and Akoya, yeah, but I will be very surprised if other Kengan fighters like Ohma or Waka wouldn't be able to figure out his trick and found a way to counter it after he used it in two matches
>>284043808So maybe now Jean won but it's Nicolas being mindbroken?
>>284043281This time… he’s going to save his friends!
>>284043775I'd have said Ohma might actually have a shot because of his Niko nerve magic to counter, but just countering the paralysis won't stop the blood vessel damage, and Ohma's circulatory system is so fucked up by that point in the series that I doubt he can take more than a couple of those.
>>284043331He's gonna suck the poison out, whether there's a bite or not.
>>284043437replace "friends" with "favs"add a kengan omega logo on the corpseexpand the corpse collage with more assassinated characters (optional) (can be done with less hassle by resizing the image and adding those on top of the second panel)
I half wish Nicholas said>I killed the Protagonist
Jean = Akoya >>> Nicolas le bannernot looking good akoyabros
>>284043878>Pic relSo what you're saying is, Jean won?
>"I've developed a way to make a blood vessel burst somewhere other than where I put pressure on it~"Every martial artist is just a straight up magician now, I guess.
>>284044050Isn't that just Hokuto Shinken?
>>284040536>straight up admits he does the bare minimum
>>284043573that's the intended way to read it yeah, but good luck with koukou, shits had the tail end untranslated for years online. There's a lot of things that once you spot em, will just feel like they got pilfered for kengan.
> sandro is a hack
>>284043619lmao
>>284043526subverted yet?
>my idol couldn't possibly be a bloodthirsty psycho, I'm gonna be the real idol in my head>So I'm gonna become a bloodthirsty psycho>but not because I beat him>but because I lost?
I don’t think Akoya is going to get involved with this mess so who is he going to take down, just a random Worm number? Johnny Chopsticks? Fodder for Gilbert before the Raian fight?
>>284043644Loses to Kuroki.
CHADlius....
>>284044039Spiritually and morally
>>284044075>as long as it passes the editor, I don't care
>>284044143Well, he might just start killing worms against the rules which would be based
>>284043437Not gonna lie, all things consideres, The chapters was not that bad
>>284044143Nicolas escaping unscratched now is exactly the setup for Akoya confrontation. Maybe Sandro will even throw a moment where Nicolas will lose because he suddenly feels the effect of Jean's attack
>>284044143Maybe he'll finally go after Koga for the Xia incident, and we'll also get closure with him and Ryuki since Ryuki just left the schizo justice league and they never even thought about one another on panel again after Akoya was so obsessed with making him his successor. Of course, this assumes Sandro remembers either of those things.
4000years status?
>>284044187I assume that’s why Kengan invited him
>>284044208>literally O MY BLOOD VESSELS complete nonsense>not that badJust how hard have we been raped by Sandro
>>284043437>my niggas Fei & NaidanSANDROOOOOO
Strongest character real Nicholas can defeat?
>>284044143He will be the one to defeat Gilbert, not Raian.But... Akoya is Kuroki now.
>>284044247Past Cosmo, but not current half grapple half striker Cosmo
>>284044247Definitely not current Saw Paing
>>284044247Muteba
>>284044247Okubo
>>284044247We'll go through the KAT fighters:ChibaShitzuSenKanedaFishermanMutebaNikaidoRihitoRaian (pre-removal)AdamGozoCosmoSawadaInabaMokichiHaruoOkuboPretty sizeable list. Also this is with them having 0% knowledge of his sahate.
>>284044287That Cosmo is weaker than past Cosmo though, as we saw from the berserker bowl and him no longer using zone. He foolishly attempted to combine two diametrically opposed elemental forces, that of "striking" and that of "timing", the conflict between which only weakens him. Agito is able to do this, but only by completely separating the two inside him like his martial arts and formless, by sealing his grappling moves unless he takes the time to adopt his SIGNATURE STANCE MEANT FOR GRAPPLING for a full page before going for a tackle from 20 feet away.

this is the second character that can use blood magic

>>284043437>noooo, not my fucking terrorist friends.
>>284044382Oh yeah he did do pretty bad there, it seemed like they were aiming to try and make him a master of both.
>>284044415Sen almost lost to Kaneda. Fucking Kaneda. He's not the high tier fighter the narrative makes him out to be.
>>284044374And Seki won’t eat shit?
>>284043341Thank you
>>284044455That was low tier Sen
>>284044415>Mister I need 8 fights and a warm up before I "peak"
>>284044455Yeah, and Agito almost lost to Sen.Almosts doesn't matter, what matters is an outcome.

>>284044143>Fodder for Gilbert before the Raian fight?>Wu>Winning a fight>Ever

>>284044494True
>>284044247Sekibayashi>>284044374>SenHe's the best dodger we've seen. And he surely should be able to sus out that Nicolas' poking style does funky shit.
>real nicholas stumbles upon ohma>ohma tells liu to fuck off with his vengeance and bags nicholas for another warmup exercise>liu is impressed and at peace because of ohma's righteousness
>>284044494Dumb logic.Imagine Gaolang shitting bricks and barely winning against Kaneda then having to pretend that he's able to spook Agito. You can see how awkward that would be, yes?
>You were GODLIKE Jean Luc
>>284044247Rihito
>>284044494There's speedreading and then there's whatever this post is
>>284044455Kaneda being able to beat a much improved Sen makes him an unironic Kuroki-tier fighter in the KATHe would predict everyone to death, the powercreep can not be overstated
I don't care. Sen survived AND defeated Bando.There's no greater feat in my eyes and he deserves respect for it!
>>284040776>what did he mean by this?I'll leave "it" to your interpretation.
are we here just to suffer

>>284044737Mutebabros...Doctorbros...
Rolon could have taken him.
>>284043644kengan has powercreep he kill everyone
Sandro realized there’s only room for 1 Koga in this fight.
So.... where does Jean's story go? He had his backstory retconned to make him a jobber who lost so hard he was mindbroken, he came back into the story after years to take part in this halfassed retconned plot, and then he just utterly jobs and almost dies to make someone else mad. Is there anywhere to go from here but to kill himself? Why did Sandro hate this character in particular so much? Is this punishment for doing decently well against a Kenganvenger?
>>284044842This post reminded me Koga exists
>>284044494Anon, I like sen and think he's a good fighter. But he had 0% chance of beating a martial arts Agito and nothing he did dealt any damage. The whole point of that fight is that Peak Sen might have been a match for Agito in round 2, but he'd evolved into a whole new monster that not even Sen thinks he can beat with effort.
>>284044247
Literally (me) every chapter.
>>284044870He thanks Liu for avenging him. He then starts to think of Liu as the protagonist of his life
>>284044455May I remind you Kaneda beat THE Himuro Ryo
>>284044050Small bombs
>>284044990Oh no, he's hot!
>>284043644Probably will win one or twice, but that's it. Once they figure it out, essentially his sahate is just one very deadly finger stab. Without him having Jean's reaction speed, anyone with better martial arts skill than him can deal with it (even assume that its armor piercing feature can work just fine on Indestructible).Kiryu's attack was deadly (albeit in different way) as well and he could do it with all his limbs, didn't stop Ohma and Kurori from kicking his ass.
I still want the Nicholas plot to end with Terashi randomly sniping him from far away mid fight.
>>284044143He was eyeing Ohma all mysteriously before the tournament. Boy I can't wait for it to amount to nothing
>>284044737What the fuck did you just fucking say about me you little shit?
>>284044873Asahi vs Koga
>>284044684This is straight up one of the meme edits posted here
I like that Sandro talked about how Sahate strikes are predictable and easy to dodge if you know what to look for, then utterly ignored Jean's super reflexes here and had him hit by every single one.
>>284044684Liu is
>>284045096He did not know what to look for
>>284045096LeBanner had counter super reflex strikes
>>284044895I find it funny that Agito's evolving for the third round was literally just going back to a more orthodox style utilising formed techniques that he learned over the years of fighting, Niko styles included. A literal backward powerup if you consider that Ohma went through the same thing remembering his forgotten techniques in round 2 vs Raian.But I don't think there was anything that indicated that he was actually using "Martial Arts" in the first round vs Okubo. Was he just fighting ape shit style ala Raian until he gets pressed, whips out pseudo-formless until a scuffle with Omori woke him up?
>>284045096>He can't see the HYUGE Akoya upscale comingYou're so green I thought I was talking to a pine tree for a second
>>284045090Sandro and Daro lurking here is common knowledge at this point
>>284045090This one?
>>284045090its been that way for years now
>>284045246It was a gif but this one works tooNot to mention all the edits of Liu at the mahjong table
>>284045169>Was he just fighting ape shit style ala Raian until he gets pressedAgito is a dick that likes to beat people on their own terms. That's why he stuck with MMA rules against Okubo and why he opened with his fight against Gaolang using the hitman style. I think this is still considered a function of formless since he knew all of Okubo's moves and copied the rest. It's just that Okubo wasn't strong enough to warrant an anti-MMA style like Gaolang got with the anti-boxer "curbing the blow" style.
>>284043644about as well as CosmoHis ability is just a worse twisting palm with more range.Ohma would tank it with indestructible
Hey Keng/a/n can you give me some advice on how to get better at Kengan All-Star Fighting? I keep getting beaten by Agito and Ohma mains. I try to pick my favorite Wakatsuki but everytime they just spam grab me and I can't even use the new Ghost punch Waku waku style bullshit they added last update. I also tried the Faceless Jobber Chiba so I can copy the moves but Agito is just a better all rounder. Can anyone give advice?
>>284040536He sounds like a whiny cunt top lel
>>284045385Choose a better character?
>>284045385Just be like every meta-loving scrub and choose someone with Niko style moves.
>>284041123What the fuck was that?
>>284045385People don't want to admit it, but Lolong is definitely a sleeper top tier.
I miss Sahate being portrayed as the paralyzed body part literally vanishing, it was a fun effect, but I guess it's too much to ask out of Daro's GPU.
>the one time he gives a villain a decisive win it's a villain nobody gives a shit aboutIncredible, he's like a savant at giving me exactly what I don't want.

>>284044704His mastery of "principles" might even be on par with Shen Wolong
>>284044842
>>284045401I tried Muteba but everytime I play him I think of the streamer who mains him and bans his entire chat and goes on racial rants whenever he loses a match and rage quits.

>>284045678Don't project your fear of going back to low income housing when playing as Muteba, it's that easy.
>>284045690>implying Sandro won't continue the Jean humiliation ritual by showing him getting raped by real Nicolas in the past to traumatize him enough to muddle his memory

>>284045764You say that like Sandro wasn't equally capable of having Jean obliterate Nicolas with no real justification. This is the same guy who gave us the Raian vs Eddie fight.

>>284047983From another Baki bro. Please don't say all of Kengan is shit. Current Omega is. Ashura is golden. Early Omega was interesting. Purgatory (imo) is fun but it goes downhill from there.

>>284043334>Now a villain just unambiguously wonHe didn't, because the narrator told us that Liu will rape him for this.
>>284048200It is.Like it's not a masterpiece, but it does what a series like this is supposed to, most of the time. Good fighting.
>>284048808M-metaphorically?
>>284048808Don't be such a pussy. The promise that someone will beat them later doesn't diminish their win. That's how it is with every villain. Even the best ones.

>>284049619The difference is that the omniscient narrator had to come in and say that this was a mistake.
>>284048808And it will never happen, making it pointless.>>284051252The narrator in Omega has been full of shit ever since 'Evil is on the move'.
>>284051252The OMNISCIENT NARRATOR whose opinion that Erioh's death was a "tragedy"
>>284051663I still can't believe the 120 year old sadistic patriarch of a clan of born and bred killers is dead.
>>284044238I know, I know, I really get your point but>hair control>bone blades>O MY RUBBER BUFFED BODYWe get nonsensical gimmicks since Ashura, narratively speaking, that's okay.Again, not that bad it's different from VERY GOOD.
>>284051759A true tragedy.
>>284047493Yes
>>284044842>KogaWho?
>>284043524None of you get it. This is an unironically genius move. By forcing the Worms to be defenders, they force the Kenganvengers to be attackers. Why did Yan spend so much time playing the role of a goofball? Why did #1 act so nice and diplomatic? Why did Nicolas stop gloating to suddenly praise Jean as unfathomable before instantly defeating him? They have finally scaled the wall of meta manipulation. Unfathomable, indeed...
>>284058274Nicholas even hit Jean with a meta fajin, by turning his 'arrogant' hex back onto him
>>284051663Still one of the most retarded moments honestly
>>284058274You aren't wrong. Meta flags are the only verifiable power scaling system we have left in Kengan. The only successful villains in the series thus far have obeyed the meta rules laid out for them and dodged the obvious narrative traps and tropes laid out for them.
