I like the grittiness of early Kengan art, but it probably was for the best that it smoothed out as the story went on.
The tone became more saccharine with time and this style wouldn't work.

Why do you assume it's a prostitute? Maybe kazzy raped a random skank.

I forgot all about that.
Why hasn't Koga tracked him down, waited till he was asleep or in the shower then jumped him and broke his legs yet?

>>
>>284497281
It's fine to just decide that the ending of Asura is the ending over all. It's an acceptable cope when the sequel is the sort of thing that you end up just reading out of a sense of obligation to finishing what you started.

>>284497281
You don't have to think about it that way, considering that Sandwich 100% most definitely did not have any of that in mind when writing the first chapter of Asura. We all know that he makes shit up as he goes along, and that's especially true of Asura, which even by Sandwich's own admission (through the various character bios) went through a ton of revisions and changes as he was writing it.
The Connector? Gaoh Mukaku? Huisheng? None of that was even a concept in Sandwich's head at this point in the writing of Asura.

You "have" scaled the wall, you obviously "typoed" but perhaps your "technique" was just better than you thought
OP I will for sure dive in for some good fights. Kengan is board culture, and Asura was so loved for a reason. There is some absolute heart here for first timers so gl any virgin readers
>>
>>284498057
Ohma's personality here would be a jobber flag in Omega.
>>
>>284498852
It's dumb that neither Shen or Hushen have much of a differing personality outside of food and fashion sense
It's such a boring direction to take him after having Tiger Niko shit himself in front of the guy, Yan become surprised and concerned over Hushen's introduction and then reveal he's just a slightly more extroverted Shen but slightly weaker

I like to imagine Koga is actually the main character of Asura too, he just has a little less screen time than he does in Omega.

>>284499459
>>284499547
Asura is legit good and best to go blindly. You can stay here and try to avoid going blindly, but watch out. It only starts shitting the bed in the sequel (which if OP really is going to do, will be by the end of the next year).
>>
>>284499459
What you are witnessing is the last few anons like "you" who still insist on reading a manga that everyone including "me" have agreed hasn't been good in 4 or so years at this point
The only reason why these threads haven't devolved into intense unfunny shitposting like the "DBZ" threads despite "their" efforts, why the threads aren't bitter and malicious like the "OPM" threads or haven't near entirely given up like the "Tenkaichi" threads is because rather than do any of that "we" have decided to continue "scaling" the "wall" with our memes and edits to the pacing of Sandro's ever downward spiraling "Writing" and Daro's excessive use of A.I for his "art"
>>
>>284499459
>>284499547
I don't have any spoiler free memes so all I can say is enjoy the ride.
You may think that once you've read Asura you will understand everything HOWEVER you will still be "green".
Once you make it to the end of KvP you will scale that wall and you will have "arrived".

Back when Kazzy was good
>>
>>284499459
What you need to understand is that Kengan Asura's sequel, Kengan Omega, is horrendous in a way that it has opened up its readers' eyes to the author's terrible writing habits, much of which has been part of the author's writing since early Asura.
So when you've experienced Omega and go back to Asura, you can't really enjoy it any more, because now you've wisened up to the author's Yabako Sandrovichs's bad writing and can see hints of all of this bad writing (or his "Sandroisms", as the community calls them) as early as chapter one here.
It's the same with Sandrovich's other, later works like Strike it Rich and Blue Ursus, and even the one work with a non-overaching story like Danberu. You just can't read them without seeing all the Sandroisms and how they worsen and cheapen the writing.
It really makes you jaded and bitter.
That's why so many of the posts here come off as psychotic.

Just a reminder that this week is a break week for Omega.
Please understand that writing Omega is really hard work. The five minutes it takes Sandro to hastily write each week's chapter takes a gigantic toll on his health. As such, he needs these frequent breaks.
>>
>>284501721
Its a lot like Jojo where parentheses/brackets are abused like a $10 whore.
Just in this case you don't also have characters talking in really dragged out dialects, or if they do the translation team didn't preserve that.
>>
>>284501227
its more endearing here because its coming from kazzy who serves as a narrator with his own very biased internal voice and clear separate personality, a lot of the bullshit people say in omega would be a smidgeon more passable if it felt like actual characters saying it instead of being mouthpieces for sandro exposition

It feels like Sandro briefly flirted with the idea of this, with how Hushen's presence made Tiger Niko piss himself and his LE SHADOW FAEC during the spar with Ohma, but let's face it, it won't go anywhere just like Shen schizoing out over the earth telling him to kill people meant absolutely nothing.
>>
>>284495976
Juliusbros....
>>284496145
Reminder that Sandro's original idea here was just to completely abandon Yamashita after this. The new actual secondary protagonist would have been some young ikemen dude and this chapter would have had no relevance to the overall plot besides telling us Ohma is coo.
>>
>>284498035
I think it's meant to highlight fightfagging as a way of life? Basically this "come on and fight" attitude despite being utterly outmatched would be Yamashita's way of taking back control of his life and agency

>>
>>284496450
This is biggest reason Omega post Chapter 50 didn't sit right with me, while it was technically Ohma that wasn't the wild beast that you see in Asura. I think I said this years ago but Asura's art depicts everyone as being actual monsters or demonic beings. Even Kuroki sometimes has his face in menacing shadow.

It's pretty standard as a shounen story.
Establish main character vs. a menacing opponent (Read: jobber) through the eyes of a secondary character.
It does it fine, and Yamashita is a unique choice, and the whole bit about going to fuck a prostitute is both funny and unique as an ender.

I'd argue Sandro's excessive use of character nameplates "outweighs" the quotation marks thing. Even his oldest characters readers should absolutely recognize after hundreds of chapters get them multiple times per fight deep into Omega so you never forget anybody's name.

It's perfectly fine development, people have simply come to hate his new personality since it's been completely static throughout Omega, even as Ohma has effectively returned to being the main character.
>>
>>284512901
Why did Purgatory even compete against the KA? They functionally can not be "rivals." It's like McDonalds taking issue with Nintendo stealing its customers. They exist for different purposes. Purgatory never stepped on the KA's toes. They didn't even combine in the end either.

I think the intent was to have it come across as a way to push Toyoda back from getting KA membership and exerting overwhelming influence, or at least rein him in if he does get added. That being said, it qas muddled from the start, and then got discarded, so who fucking knows.

It started out that way then it turned out to be a galaxy brained play designed purely to draw out the worms that infiltrated purgatory.
Almost a third of purgatory's best fighters were worms while there were zero in the KA.
So the worm devoted multiple high ranking members to infiltrate what is basically just the UFC while devoting zero to infiltrate the KA which is basically the illuminati.
Pic related is Toyoda flexing about his plan paying off, coincidentally this is what Sandro sees when he looks in a mirror.

Heheheh… so “it’s” already “underway”….

Are you really gonna do only 1 chapter per day? Its gonna suck once we get to the fights. And this is just me but the timing of the dumps sucks

I'm pretty sure he joined post KAT, his backstory said he joined pretty late and speedran the ladder

Damn I forgot this series was about Kengan matches

so did Sandro

Reminder that Komada was just Nogi's substitute for when Hatsumi flaked on him, he then went to work under Lihito cuz apparently Ohma beat his ass so hard he was unemployable

Some of the strongest guys in Kengan aren't even regular Kengan Fighters. A lot of them were just hired on for the KAT and then bailed to go back to doing their own thing afterwards
Only Gaolang is consistently involving himself in underground matches despite being a Prince's bodyguard because Sandro recognizes that Gaolang brings in the SEA fans

Tenkaichi really was just kengan 2

Reminder that Ramon "The Doomsday Messenger" Yuko, champion of Slaughter Colliseum wasn't invited to the KAT but Nezu was.
>>
>>284522236
Nezu got duped into it because he was a mickey fan, but there was no cigarette company taking part to bribe Ramon into participating.

I was promised an OMEGA storytime!!! I am not interested in another Ashura storytime.
We NEVER had a single Omega storytime finished to the most current chapter.
This is LAME!
I bet you will give up at Omega!
>one chapter a day
I hate this
