DONE
>>284657165me when i see big booba
>>284657165I have to admit, I almost reported this thread because I thought it was a rage wojak
>>284657307
>>284657165Great fucking cover. Probably my favorite. I'll be smiling everytime I see it on the cataloge.
>>284657175In the previous chapter Kaede said his record was 7 wins and 9 losses. TL typo or can I finally start the retcon count
>>284657165OHMA YOU RAT! YOU WEREN'T USING THE OVEN TO BAKE COOKIES! YOU WERE HEATING MY KEYS UP TO GIVE ME THE OL' SPICY KEYCHAIN!HOW COULD YOU GIVE YOUR OWN MANAGER THE SPICY KEYCHAIN OHMA?!
>>284658589Comikey has the same mistake, I think.
>>284657228>Kaz doesn't reactHmmm
>>284657255Man Ohma used to look REAL thin
>>284657345i think that referee is also on the KAT, I remember him from the agito hatsumi fight, always liked how the refs in this series had their spotlights
Koji soon.
>>284658745He refs for Meguro vs Muteba, also Waka vs Muteba IRC
>>284657307>Guy who is known for actively cheating>Is very likely to continue cheating in todays match because of his track record of cheating>"Why don't you just punish him for cheating?">"WHAT AND LET EVERYONE KNOW YOU'RE A SUCKER?!">Let's the guy who is a notoriously cheater continue to cheatKengan is run on ego and bullying, I'm surprised KA managed to last this long without falling a part
>>284657214What does he smell like?
>>284657375Why is the "again" in quotation marks!?
>>284658891salty coins and milk
>>284657307A con artist sold the eiffel tower for scrap to someone while pretending to be an official, and when he bailed with the money the guy he swindled didn't tell anybody for basically this reason. So the con artist came back and sold it again to someone else.
>>284658871but he didn't cheat because the patdown didn't find anythingThey're just being extra cautious with him for no reason in particular :^)
>>284657375Surely one of the spectators breaking the device is fair game right?
>>284658770Koji sooned... and so will Hassad
>>284658612Funnily enough I have two kengan variations of this meme saved (both technically omega spoilers) 1/2
Art used to be so raw.
>>284658612>>2846589912/2
>>284657275So that's why anon said this fight might intrigue me.
>>284658991I thought about adapting it, but then I felt too lazy
>>284657296And Yamashita said this guy looks friendly.
>>284659174Where's the lie?
>>284657307This is some retarded chink-ass mindset.
>>284657322>pat down doesn't reveal anything>result of the match clearly shows there's some sort of weapon used>we don't do take backs because it will ruin our reputation???The fact that you can't detect shit and there are signs of a weapon being used means you're incompetent in the first place. The retards still betting on this flawed association are all suckers.
>>284659201Also arab!
>>284658991>>284659014Have "another".
>>284657365They didn't do pat downs or check the crowds? What if there's a fucking bomber trying to kill all these rich faggots? The Kengan Association is laughably retarded.
>>284658017his return is the least of omega's problem
>>284657402Thanks for dumping. Now I'm invested to see how incompetent the Kengan Association is.
>>284659398lel
>>284657228What did he do? The mosquito frequency that only affects young people? Would explain why Kazzy is fine.
>>284659621You nailed it gj
>>284658899Why is "hear" in quotation marks? At least it should be the "that" in quotation marks.
>>284658017I'm howling rn.
>>284658017sandro is kinda fat
>>284658891Medicine.
>>284657307...what?But by letting him continue to compete, aren't they making themselves look even dumber for failing to notice his many instances of obvious cheating, rather than just the first one?
>>284659727"medicine"
>>284659789I think it's probable corruption
>>284657239How strong is "the medicine man's spell" compared to kaneda's "spider web"?Is his spell related to the "magic spell" nikaido whispered into kiryu's ear during the KAT?
>>284657263Nogi channeling Toyoda in that middle panel.
>>284657263I had forgotten, but Nogi used to be kinda fun.
>>284659284You see it would ruin the Kengan's reputation if they couldn't detect a cheater in action so they'd rather just let the guy continue cheating until hopefully the referee can find a weapon How letting a guy cheat all the time because the entire association is too embarrassed to say anything wouldn't tank your reputation further is up to interpretation but I'm willing to write it off as a Japanese thing rather than a Sandroism thing
>>284657175>HOWEVER
>>284657203Komada was some sort of... new generation?
>>284657255Weird how minimal the setup here is. With Rihito we at least got him meeting Ohma and having Ivan get punched, alongside the other stuff.This had like, no downtime instead.
im pretty sure medicine man only gets sent vs total noobs, its plausible to think all employers of the people he fights are small fries and dont have any power to stop that. if he had to fight someone like nogi (doesnt count here since nogi is testing Ohma) I doubt there wouldnt be any countermeasures
>>284660894He was a rising star, a true supernova.
>>284658934>>284659789You need to think this from an individual perspective. It's not that KA is getting duped (Though their judges are as well), it's that you are.Your credibility suffers if you admit to that, so instead you hope your fighter can deal with it, and leave it for someone else to solve, because it's not your problem anymore.
>>284661389I'm pretty content with how Kaburagi is allowed to keep cheating because honestly it doesn't matter it's just an excuse for a cool unorthodox fight but it's definitely a flimsy justification.Send Rei or a Kure or Inaba member to break his kneecaps or kill him outside of an official match. Have Hanafusa give him AIDs. Drag Kuroki down from his hermit mountain. There are a plethora of ways he could be eliminated without announcing your SHAMEFUR DISPRAY to your rivals.
>>284659201>>284659284Kaburagi provides a useful service (reliably incapacitating star fighters) while not being a threat in the KAT. Not wanting to be seen as a sucker is an excuse to keep using him as an open secret, since the Association would otherwise feel the pressure to crack down on anyone found cheating.
Medicine Man is just a beginning of a line of Fighters who bullshit hard enough to skirt past the rules like Hanafusa turning his bones into functional swords or Falcon turning his fucked fingers into poisonous claws
>>284659789>>284661389>>284661561Isn't it also a matter of there being some kind of faction in the association that tacitly approves of him? He's a fighter who's used to cripple up and coming fighters who people are worried could disrupt the status quo. That seems to imply to me that it's more than just his own CEO who's involved in setting up his matches.It seems to be he's supposed to be a shining example of the corruption and sleaziness of everything before Omega's whitewashing.
>>284661929This is true too, it's hard to see what benefit sending a C-tier fighter has for the company.Unless the idea would be that he can so consistently ruin fighters that no one wants to send in their best meat and thus he can sneak wins.
>>284657189Kaburagi is one of Kengan's best characters, since he's one of the rare fighters who'd only belong in Kengan's setting. His modus operandi would be entirely useless in a normal MMA org, even a so-called "underground".
>>284659313Hassad... soon?
>>284658991I like Kengan Ashura covers, everyone looks cool even the jobbers.
>>284663340>heals people in the background>implanted cohmas new heart>caused the shen posse to skedaddle due to virus MADisn't he actually one of the more useful characters in the series
>>284663663He couldn't save Meguro, Naidan, Alan, Fei, Lu, or Yumi. So he's useless.
>>284663762You will be ashamed of your words and deeds when Chopstick Johnny and Dodo take their hoods off.
>>284663762sewing two halves of a person together is sadly an ancient secret that only can be done in a gag manga like otokojuku
I want to go back.... Any day now, my "premonition" will end and we'll be back in the Ashura daily TLs several years ago....
there was Omega dump this week?
>>284664703sorry anon, it's on a "break"
>>284664827its alright, thought I do missed it, also I suppose we'll hardly have one this week either maybe
>>284665066we did get the kaiji/kengan chapter though, but I don't know if it has been dumped on /a/ yet
>>284659462so you are saying the kengan association members would announce to the world that they are suckers that cant even survive an explosion?
>>284659284First time seeing the asian mindset, huh?
>>284659789Plausible deniability.>obvious cheatingThe idea is since he passes the check, he can't be cheating. No one's credibility is harmed because he "isn't" cheating.>but autopsies show he must be using a weapon!Sorry he passes the check. He couldn't have had a weapon *wink wink*.
>>284607746Akiyama doesn't even give a shit
>>284665525This is basically a "prime" example of what keeping "face" is all about.
>>284665244>Kaiji/Kengan crossover>Hassad shows up with itDoes it count?
>>284657214is this achievable natty
>>284635365Or ever. Isn't he thinking of Setsuna's master, who killed Niko and was killed by Setsuna?
Hassad soon
>>284657214Kaede'd better run away before he turns her into the victim of an ugly bastard doujin
reminder that kaburagi is indirectly responsible for the russo-ukrainian warit's because he's the one who got the heavenly wolves to defuse all of the bombs, thus saving vladimir putin's life
>>284665525Also I guess when you have guys like Lihito causing wounds that look like they were from weapons it's easier to write off shit like this
>>284665731Nah, I bet he is only after twink ass
>>284665691Yeah. Kiryu's talk with him in a few chapters comes as a shock to him.
>>284657307I really miss this kengan association. Much more than Ohma's personality.
>>284657365>A whole ass amp
>>284657402Thanks anon. This is among the more enjoyable gimmick fights in kengan imho.
Less people would complain if Sandro was more straight forward and said "You don't wanna look like a sore loser do you?"
There is in fact an "Omega Daily".You "experienced" ones are merely "unable to perceive it."Your minds are already deeply hurt by the initial reading, and so in a desperate bid to "protect" themselves, they've "blocked out" evrrything to do with the Omega Daily.It's there on the "catalogue", but "try as you might", you will never "perceive" it again.Only those of us who are "green" can lurk the "Aberrant One."
>>284664078Woah thereAre you implying that Asura isnt gag manga
>>284657375>>284657386>be fightfag>match has started>hears an annoying sound>looks away from opponent (to.. find the source of the sound somewhere else? A sound he has already HEARD)>gets backhanded in the face by a fat middle aged fuck>eyes get fuckedThis is seriously contrived.
>>284668369Just wait.
>>284663663>singlehandedly destroys qny semblence of stakes even back in KATFuck this faggot.
>>284668369It gets much worse.
>>284667939>I used to think that my manga was a "tragedy", but now I realize that it was a "comedy".>>284668461he's basically status quo man
>>284657165One chapter a day honestly feels like too little. Can you do like 2-3 at least?
>>284669195No. This "timing" is right. We wouldn't want to approach "The Tragedy" too soon.
>>284668369You are really underestimating how much loud noises can distract you
>>284668406>>284668542>>284670141I know, it's just too early and too basic to have the "I do nothing but fight" MC do a "HUH WHAT WAS THAT?? UH OH OWWW MY FACE" 1 second into the start of a fight. A lot of other nonsense at least happens within suspicion of disbelief to have fun with the supernatural.why the fuck cant I post if I DONT get to solve a captcha?
>>284660117Nogi's personality kinda got moved over to Toyoda now that I think about it.
>>284659789Simply pretending there's no cheating going on allows everyone involved ro save face, which is all that matters. I've been on business trips to China and Japan a few times, it's extremely common for complete dogshit policies to go unchallenged because nobody wants to lose face.
>>284657402I've always had a soft spot for this fight. It really adds to the world building quite nicely.
>>284659789>Casually admitting to being a shmuck who can't even detect a simple sham.Anon....
>>284658017LOL
>>284661561Hanafusa doesn't work for KA.
>>284663340I really wouldn't consider Hanafusa a jobber.
>>284657307>>284657322Isn’t this basically izzat in action?
>>284665607Link to the Kaiji crossover?
>>284672033The guy who explained izzat outright says it is almost the same as face but has key differences in how swindling works socially and what you do when you lose it. This is why asians largely have functioning comapnies that don't go under at record speeds.
>>284665244Someone should dump itPreferably during an omega storytime on a Wednesday for total kengan saturation
So far its been p good although nothing special.
>>284673421Yeah these first matches are kind of mid, i thought we got into the meat of the manga much sooner but i remembered wrong.
>>284673421Honestly, I remember really disliking these first fights in my first read. Ohma's personality and the general narration's framing of him rubbed me the wrong way. They are more endearing in a reread.
>>284671526He definitely does by the end of ashura
>>284673421It's pretty cookie cutter at the start. Characters become more defined and less forgettable by the boat and we get actually interesting when we get to the island/kat.
live
>>284673421The manga was still "green"
>>284673421The first couple matches are fine, the third is where we meet a fan favorite character, and then after that we start moving into the main plot which is where things will really hit its stride both in art and general.
>>284658017Wait is this the crux of the schizophrenia?All the anons just continue to march forward because they refuse to admit they've been had? Surely it'll get better next week. Right?
>>284677375It goes "deeper" than that. "Surely it'll get better" was definitely the leading copium during the Purgatory arc, with anons pulling off genuinely impressive mental gymnastics to argue that it would be a fluke bad arc somehow. And then came "the tragedy" that mindbroke everyone forever.
>>284677375
had no idea the fujo community for asura/omega was big
>>284679609Makes sense that they’d be where the buff half naked pretty bots are
>>284677005Left looks like a warioware character
>>284677375No, almost no one harbors any illusions of the manga not being shit. I do remember back during the purg tournament people coping with "ashura took X chapters to get good!" but those days are past, everyone knows what we're in for now. People keep reading a) because of a morbid curiosity and b) shitposting
>>284679609Not too surprising considering that most pages are taken up with burly, muscular men. Baki has quite the fujo following too.
>>284679609I get it for ashura and early omega, dunno what they'd see in most of modern omega though
>>284670817update your 4chanX and restart the thread. This new captcha update revealed that a lot of anons are using 4chanX, the update is kind of like a "Tragedy" for 4chanX users
Is "he"... late?
Chapter 10: Coward
>>284681862That first panel is what Cosmo sees when he first wakes up after Kaburagi offers him a drink.
>>284681971>Kinetic visionIT BEGINS

>>284657189incapacitated as in "unable to fight for a few weeks/months" or incapacitated as in "crippled for life"?
>>284681983Can I count this as a retcon since its actually a technique and not whatever this vision babble is
>>284682278h-hayai
>>284682541Yes it counts as a retcon.
>>284682058how
>>284682160God, Daro could draw some satisfying hits back then
>>284682467Probably the latter, or if the former, long enough that they wouldn't try to fight here again.
>>284681938I always wanted to try handling a bunch of jalapenos or habenaros and then wiping it on someone's eye in a fight
>>284681914"Can" (You) perceive "it"?
>>284682078tracing feitan/killua>>284682252tracing Franklin
>>284682252are ALL of his teeth metal weapons? does that not shred his gums? this guy is basically a cyborg at this point, what the fuck
>>284681938I guess the poison is only effective to eyes, or maybe it needs to be close enough for you to inhale it to take effect.
>>284682357I like that the author notes always say "this character looks like/was based on this Guy". I'll post all I can find
>>284682541>SinceIsn't that Medicine Man saying this instead of the narrator? So it's open to in universe fault?
>>284682252Interesting.
>>284682357Thanks for the dump.
>>284682357thanks OP!
>>284682058why is no one calling out that he is using a needle, he is not even trying to be subtle about it
Lol wait did Rokuomi actually sacrifice himself or did he see what was going on and literally choose death over remaining in service to a
>>284682769Meh fine, I'll allow it
>>284682856because if the ref's patdown didn't find it then it's allowed >>284657322
>>284682856once the patdown is over its all fair game. KEEP that in mind for a later fight
>>284682344Hmm.
>>284682882by that logic you can just jam a gun up your ass and pull it out after the pad down and shoot your opponent
>>284682899If "we" are making "comparisons."
>>284682912correct
>>284682866Oooh, new Kingdom chapter?
>>284682002Kaburabi isn't dressed when it happens to Cosmo
>>284682117Even if he uses tricks he still has to be a somewhat good fighter to keep up with kengan fighters
>>284682627Could last time I heard it. My dad had a device set up to repel mosquitos that would beep and while he couldn't hear it I found it quite annoying
>>284681959>path of perversionthat's a little on the nose
>>284681914I take it Kaede is a cake
>>284682711Pretty sure the poison is just a strong irritant that he gets on his eyes by punching him
>>284682912Are you a sucker that can't even detect an anus gun?
>>284682541I thought learning to see this is part of the technique
>>284682058>prototype “knife”AAAAAIIIIEEEEEEEEEE
>>284682912If the ref doesn't catch it, yeah
>>284682183You just know everything huh Nogi
Pretty impressive how far Medicine Man got on judt his wits alone. He has no physical predispositions, hasn't mastered any martial art. He's just a shrewd guy. And yet, he managed to hsve four wins and five losses in the Ksngan Matches, which are stated to be far above the top MMA competition and tournaments.Good on him.
>>284682696People get metal teeth don't they? This is basically the same except the visible part of the teeth are made to look like actual teeth
>>284682305>tfw the brap hits
>>284682357Thanks op
>>284683538>He has no physical predispositions, hasn't mastered any martial artHe seems to be a pretty decent fighter, he's not just throwing random sucker punches, he does kicks and shit.
>>284683656So he's a striker....
>>284683546Dude, they have bladed points
>>284682093Take it easy, KazzyJesus
>>284680544Nicolas + Liu seems like ripe fujo bait.
>>284683546people get surgical screws made of metal or ceramic that you then attach a tooth-shaped cover to. dude's got knife-teeth

>>28468401888888
>>284683656Medicine Man is a boat jobber or at least he would be if he weren't coating his arms in poison and using weapons which makes him half a tier above themHis whole shtick is breaking open Can Openers
>>284681923Is this a real thing you can do?You could use this strat with a stronger fighter too, as long as they can't hear it.Also>power-up via a phoneHe is on par with the Medel.
>>284682125For a fat man he can JUMP
>>284684464>Is this a real thing you can do?play an annoying high pitched sound that older people can't hear? yes
>>284682268I've totally forgotten this fight.Makes Muteba's blindness stuff a bit less special
>>2846823442'11 is a pretty short fight.Also>No post-win compliment
>>284684464the noise is real, yeah. it's mildly annoying. I'm not sure amplifying it would make it painful to the human ear, though.
>>284682856The ref didn't catch it, and it would be super duper embarrassing to admit that, so he doesn't have a needle.
>this is a real panel
>>284685170Kaz is like a soijak.
>>284682912Yea, it's all bullshit. The "rules" are a courtesy, not an obligation
>>284679609It was big in early Omega and where a lot of the fanart came from. And like us they loved Purgatory, Xia, and Eddie, and notably after the massacre of all of those, we get far far less.
>>284657263Poor Kaede.
>>284688336Kaede is kind of a bitch here, Nogi just wants a manly 3 ways embrace
>>284672033Izzat is just generic honor culture stuff talked up all dramatic by a future school shooter. This is face culture stuff where looking strong and in control is more important than material losses.
>>284682108Since nobody is "commenting" on "this" I take it "nobody" cares or is simply missing it. This is the start of when Ohma trusts Kazzy, or even cares enough about him to sus out his voice. Characterization like this was lowkey in Asura.
>>284681914Cakede
>>284684247Using weapons actually makes you exponentially weaker though, so a fair fighting medicine man is probably at least KAT round 2 level.
>>284688354NTA at first the sfx made me think Nogi shoved her away instead of her dodging him
>>284682357Thanks anon
>>284685170>kazuo returned to LITERALLY THIS EXACT MENTALITY I fucking despise Sandro so much
>>284680968Thanks, I figured it was the extension messing up somehow. There is no update from what I can tell so I found a fix for 4chan XT which simply involves changing one line of code (if using the script version)https://github.com/TuxedoTako/4chan-xt/issues/207
>>284690698>There is no update from what I can tellGiven how many did in fact update it, sure there was.
>>284690698There should have been an auto-update.
>>284691115>>284691131Nta but its probably because he was using an x fork instead of the normal x.
>>284671249Toyoda has lost Nogi's personality too now, i wonder who shall be the next vessel for the travelling Nogi personality
>>284682102Funny thing is that ohma doesnt even have the kengan eyes, he just has really good kinetic vision for no reason whatsoever
>>284682334>medicine man peeImagine
>>284691115>>284691131>>284691139Yep, using XT instead of X. Guess I'm switching to X again if it's maintained faster.
Would you read a manga where instead, there was no fighting and it was just Mr Yamashita and Nogi making buisness deals.
>>284692229Yea probably, I imagine the stories would be about how intricate and cut throat it is in the world of business and how the duo would have to jump through loopholes and backroom dealings to keep their business afloat
>>284691622>No reasonShenclone.On that note, doesnt this make MM scale exponentially higher in retrospect? And also everyone Ohmer ever fought and had trouble with.
