EXTRA: Conversion
Thank you, Daro.
>>284769191>the stylized smoke leading the eye>the dynamic angle to depict the motion >the clear readable motion between panelsyou really dont know what you have until you lose it huh
>>284769470I took out an "advance" but I reinvested those funds into Kure clan "securities" which out performed the heart market and "inflation", allowing to pay back the "interest" and purchase an entirely new heart
DONEI have to admit, I really love rule 63 chapters.Merry Christmas!!
Bonus!
>>284769970Jesus.
i think we skipped chappy 14 op....
Oh wait nvm my bad. "I" am still "green".
>>284769822kek
>>284770085It just archived early (presumably because it was Christmas Eve + the Omega chapter dropped).
>>284769326TOWER BRIDGE
>>284769725Arigato, Daro
>>284769358>>284769373Now, what the fuck is this?
>>284769425Fucking Gear 2nd?
>>284769571Cute!
>>284769571Would Omega Tokita Mao be a tsundere?
>>284769725I was thinking black lace-panties, but this is still good.
>>284769970Nice.
>>284770005Thanks OP.
>>284771363me when i find my sock filled with coal.
>>284769326Why argentine?
>>284769326unsinkable
>>284769269He's a lot skinnier at this point, huh.
>>284769176Art style was so much better
>>284769807>"ex-Ohma"I know this is just an off the rails dream about genderswaps, but that sounds like something Sandro would write unironically one of these days.
>>284769807Sweaty girls are the best.
>>284770005Feels like by the time this volume had these bonuses done, Daro had already started to shift from the early grittiness to something closer to KAT stuff.Maybe it's just a stylistic choice and he always could do this too, but the early stuff has a certain air of "amateurishness," so I'm not sure about that.
>>284771471Guy who came up with it (Antonino Rocco) was from there.
man, i forgot how the art used to look.the current art is technically better, but i actually prefer this
>>284769527Seki a cute
>>284769725Daro...... I kneel.
>>284769822If only he actually boasted like that in Omega.
>>284769358I forgot ohma had the nine tailed fox sealed inside him.
>>284769358Reminder that the reason he has this mind palace in the first place is because Niko punched him and I don't think we ever got an explanation as to why he did that or how that even works.We probably did get told and I just don't remember because everything regarding Shen and clones and consecutors and inheritors or whatever makes my eyes glaze over.I imagine it started out as Niko "choosing" Ohma on a whim as his successor aka The Tiger's Vessel but then Niko got replaced by Shen so now I have no clue what the motive was in fucking with his boss's clone/new body.
>>284769286Kazuo, you have seen him fight four (4) times.
>>284769970me in the back
>>284769571Would
>>284769326i'm beginning to wonder if i read a different translation my first go around. Maybe I'll have a clearer idea with later threads and chapters
>>284769358I had completely forgotten that Ohma had the fucking Advance. That's how far the current plot in Omega has gone off the rails
>>284769224>>284769326I cant imagine current Seki slamming a defenceless twink build like Ohma into concrete 3 times in a row and then trying to snap their spine. Feel like theres a very high chance that would kill atleast some people
>>284774262Punching inner worlds into people is all part of the research to make the Niko style advance further. Who knows how many mind candles he punched into Fei
>>284771363Me when i see a high level exchange of gifts
>>284769571This is where Sandro got the idea to brainwash waifufags to overlook his hackery
>>284772604>the current art is technically better,it has generally more consistent proportions and the anatomy isnt as blatantly invented but it fails in every other aspect, so only better in the sense that the muscles are in the right place n nothing else
>>284769571S E X OEXO
>>284776727>generally more consistent proportions and the anatomy isnt as blatantly inventedPretty debatable now that Daro has reached "that level".
>>284769547You could tell there's something wrong because he didn't say Yamashitakazuo
>>284769581>>284769807Mao a cute and sexo>>284769623And looks like she's hitting on Akiyama pretty hard
>>284776548kek
>>284774651>>284769286Yeah, this heartfelt speech really feels unearned at this point. I guess business guy's whole shtick is overreacting to everything, but this seems like the kind of dialog you save for a pivital moment atleast 50 chapters later, not for the first exchange in a random wrestling match.
>>284769388>what was that "sound"...?I wouldn't know, I can't read kanji.
>>284778720>but this seems like the kind of dialog you save for a pivital moment atleast 50 chapters later, not for the first exchange in a random wrestling match>atleast 50 chapters later>50 chapters later>50 chapterAAAAAAAAAASRRHFHDHJFNDNDDDFC
>>284778720Please excuse the behaviour of "me" >>284778787, it appears it is time for the next "tragedy"
>>284769164Ohma looks like those miniature body fleshlights
>>284778926kiryu....
>>284769224LETS FUCKING GOI missed old kengan fighters
>>284769249>>284769269Start of a beautiful friendship...
>>284769470I don't like the execution of advance since its limits and restrictions always get shifted from fight to fight but delivery of its name here was top notch.
>>284769571This is the treat they give Daro after long weeks of making him draw burly man.
>>284769623La creatuera...
>>284769671>he actually looks more naturalKek
>>284779044Yeah I really like the idea of taking out an advance on your life
>>284769822Tokiota Ohma: "The Economist"
>>284769659>all the women having a crush on MaoHot
>>284769725Shinapan are unfathomable
>>284770005Thanks op.
>>284769970Soryuin is so casually lewd
>>284778720I disagree. It fits here really well considering how the previous ch delved into how Ohma changed Kazzy. Having this talk after ohma already lost a fight wouldn't fit and having more jobber fights after the last 2 would be worse for the story imho.If anything I would say this fight establishes the top guns of the kengan, Ohma's secrets and the relationship between kazzy and ohma really well. On top of being fun that is.
>>284769824>Kazuo almost "awakened" to a new "frontier"
>>284769824Me going to the omega thread after these chapters.
>>284770005Thanks.Orochi Setsuna
>>284779242My point is, there isn't really much of a story so far. At best we have the set up of a story, but there isn't enough emotional connection. Ohma is just fighting the next guy with barely any intermission (other than Kazzy having a moment at work) and nothing else was developed. And suddenly Kazzy blurts out his "power of friendship, believe in the heart of the cards" speech when I don't believe these characters even know each other at this point.I guess what I'm trying to say is, damn, what a mediocre manga.
>>284769824>mfw i see a low level exchange
>>284769970Oh damn, I didn't even know she was missing an arm.
>>284779565I think what we disagree on is what this scene is supposed to be. I see it as an establishment of the relationship between Kazzy and Ohma. You seem to think of it as an emotional payoff. I think all this scene is trying to do is show that Kazzy has been effected by Ohma to the degree that he can't see him losing in his mind and doesn't like it when someone disses Ohma.
>>284779653Fair enough. It does come a bit out of nowhere for me, but I'll see what comes from it.
>>284770719Ohma is very straightforward, so no
>>284779644Anon what do you think this is?
>>284778223>"The Masturbator"
>>284779775A bottle if shampoo, obviously.
>>284769970>/fitlit/ in the background like a titan getting ready to peek over the wall
>>284779803What is the top circle?
>>284779814Soap.
>>284779565It doesn't have the weight yet, basically. The bones are there and it makes sense but the manga builds some real emotional weight and added meaning later rather than 15 chapters in.
>>284769286He went full in on ohma stock pretty early. What a champ.
>>284778756That's katakana you retard. Takes just an afternoon to learn.
>>284769425ouchie

>>284769671I actually think rihito is kinda cute here
>>284779166Check out The Bugle Call
>>284779950I see. However, this post is just a few quotation marks away from reading like a Kengan shitpost.
>>284779775I've only now noticed the "presence" of a "third" in this image.
>>284769358Blatantly supernatural bullshit, go!
>>284769358Oh shit is Ohma gonna perform God of Death?
>>284776548underrated
>>284769470A rare example where the quotes are appropriate
>Manga about shady corporate business dealings being solved via sanctioned duels>Fighters refrence economic terms during combat.
>>284769822Geniunely kino
>>284769510>>284769527they look so happy
>>284769358This chapter got the timing right. Shen's mindspace is nothing comoared to this.
>>284769822We used to have a bankfag in Omega threads that got mindbroken enough that he laughed at "Advance" constantly during his workday
>>284779044>its limits and restrictions always get shifted from fight to fightIt doesn't.The advance makes Ohma's heart beat faster - up to 6 times it's resting rate (~300bpm) according to Hanafusa.Using the advance allows Ohma to move faster and maintain an elevated Aestheticism.the down sides are: that his fine motor control decreases as he increases his heart rate, and that it causes his brain to start bleeding - effecting his memory and cognition.it makes him "stronger" because he moving faster and generating more momentum.
>>284770481Literal, unironic sorcery. This is how it works in real life too.
>>284788842I will not go into spoilers but you fucking know the downsides have been ignored on several instances anon. Also I could swear that it made open wounds bleed more too.
>>284788842>>284790695I don't know if the rules for the advance were broken in Ashura but they absolutely were in Omega.>like one chapter into his return he's using it to beat low level worm grunts>he's limiting the output>yeah okay fine new heart new rules I can deal with that>fights lolong>uses it at full power but it's okay because he's using it in micro bursts>hmm>finally Sandro gives up any pretense of the advance being genuinely dangerous and just has Ohma activate it like he used to>"He kept the continuous usage under 5 seconds so he should be fine" >fuck thisI don't really care because at this stage the advance is his only interesting trait and I'd like to see it more but the "forbidden technique with extreme consequences" not having any consequences is such a tired shonen trope.
>>284792093just be happy asura had a cool ending and pretend omega is a completely different series with characters that just happen to have the same names
>>284792245Complaining about Omega is like 80% of the fun don't take this from me.
>>284792245>just be happy asura had a cool ending and pretend omega is a completely different series with characters that just happen to have the same namesThat's exactly mt mindset. Maybe it's just one of Kazzy's fever dreams.
>>284792245Anons joke about it but I genuinely see omega as a comedy manga and only come to the threads to see edits. Shen is a pretty funny guy once you change your mindset.
>>284769970Foiled again by the ducks...

>>284795492Sex scene when?
>>284795745For once Sandro might have pre-dated Itagaki on something.
>>284795641I know it's more early series weirdness but it's odd how Cosmo and Waka are like a duo up until the tournament then afterwards they never speak again.Or at least I don't remember it happening later.
>>284796082They talk on the island a few times I think.
>>284795716Fuck I love Seki
>>284795827Thanks op and same, hard to look at. This fight has two nasty ones and they're not even close to being the worst in the series
>>284795641ENTER /ss/
>>284795736He's probably the biggest fan favorite around actually
>>284795757Brutal
>>284795800>he had it all wrong
>>284795641Cosmo tops Waka 100%
>>284795492sexo
>>284792093The good thing is that Ohma hasn't used Advance since his fight with Lolong and with Principles being a thing I don't see him ever using it again outside of fanservice, likewise with Raian using Removal. Also a reminder that Advance wasn't created to give people a chance against Kure's Removal, it was created so Mukaku could try and kill Shen. It's a lame retcon that doesn't serve any purpose other than to depict Mukaku as being so petty as to create a technique that shaves five years off your life every time you use it
>>284795641He looks too normal
>>284769824>Just one of those days
>>284795745I think this moment looked cool in the anime
>>284795800Oh no no no
>>284795641>he's pretty awesome!Now tell me what were the consequences of "these" words.
>>284796319>The IslandErmm what the diddy?
>>284769147Its a real shame how body type aesthetic diversity has kinda shit the bed.>>284729546, Seki having a layer of fat here and less overall definition in exchange for more bulk gives him a nicely realistic and unique look compared to other fighters.
>>284795670Reminds me of that time i broke my index finger during a boxing spar because my form was bad and my partner had absolutely ripped shredded solid abs, possibly strongest ones in the world, definitely kuroki-tier.My injury literally gave him narrative glazing and he joked about how his muscles are so tough he can't even be punched.
>>284795800This is the chapter in which Ohma starts looking like his regular self instead of a hobo.
>>284795785This is not quite as egregious ad Baki's neck optical nervesBut it's still pretty silly
>>284795563>making me like this guy when I know he's gonna jobSandro is so cruel
>>284797744Did you pull a knife on him after that?
>>284798397No. I just went OUUUU OOWW OOWW. Didn't even try to tough it out because it was the first time i had ever broken anything and it already started to swell pretty bad. The margin was razor thin.
>>284785920kengan is a prequel to C all along? damn
>>284798078The page just says you can't breathe without oxygen. What's bizzare about that?
>>284795800
>>284795827>I fucking hate finger injuriesMan you're gonna have a really bad time with this manga
>>284795850sandro...
>>284797744wouldn't have happened if you properly compliment hexed him before the fight
>>284776553Can't understand these apes. Any ecchi has better designs and art, and more titillating stories, so why fixate on this shit?
>>284795827Thank you for posting. I understand.
>>284797079:P
>>284778223this actually kinda exemplifies what i mean, in terms of muscular anatomy (aka, where muscles begin and end) all of the main masses track, you can even see how the bones from the elbow lead to the wrist bump on the pinky side, the shoulders start and end where they should, etc. its just the foreshortening that is extremely fucked up, its an attempt at perspective that would've been fixed if the artist just zoomed out and put some time to fix it, but daro is in "fuck it" mode and just sends shit as it comes out
>>284796748Personally I think using Advance for isolated maneuvers like when he chin checked Rolon and used Change of Scenery is a good use of it. Using it so briefly shouldn't really harm him too much. Same with going full output for his final demonsbane against Kuroki.
Advance is an asspull and I'm tired of pretending it's not
>>284788842>maintain an elevated Aestheticism.with this technique i can become up to 6 times more fuckable
>>284795716the top panel is so fucking good
>>284801969It's much too early in the story to call anything an asspull, really. Almost nothing about Ohma is known at this point. You can do anything at a story's beginning.
>>284802137He does it again in "that" fight
>>284795641ENTER POTENTIAL MAN
>>284802362I know the whole "story." I was just saying you can't call anything at the "start" an asspull.
>>284795700>I must go, my people need me.
>>284795827>I fucking hate finger injuries.I cut off half my fingernail chopping leek for a christmas soup three days ago. Bled like a bitch. I'm not good with knifes.

>>284771938kek
>>284795641PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP
>>284795757Finger injuries with nails peeling off make me squeamish, worse than almost all other injuries depicted
>>284802857You were simply too strong
>>284795641What a nice dynamic these two have, im excited to see them interact more in the future
>>284795785That's some very fine control to be able to hit his windpipe with pinpoint accuracy.
>>284802857>Using a knife>Surprised he jobbed to fucking leek
>>284803864It's not that I "lost" that fight. I "devoured" the leek in the end. But the leek "devoured" something of "me" aswell in the process.
Seki's fight is always good, eh?
>>284795492Daro doesn't even care about drawing woman at this point. I am really sad with what has become of this dynamic trio with passion...
>>284795602Fucking Seki. Always managest to put a smile on my face
>>284795641ENTER honestly kinda boring character
>>284795745If this was omega we would only have the top and bottom panel btw.
>>284795827Thanks anon. I have really became better with finger and nail injuries over the years. But the kaiji part 2 torture still fucks me up ngl
>>284804326The leek got the moral "victory".
>>284798501Anon is built different
>>284795812>good eye
>>284797534Toa should've had this build, would be a nice contrast to Julius.
>>284799821Ecchi doesn't have women beating the shit out of each other
>>284805147Maybe it should.
>>284802770Kek
>>284805159I agree, give me a series where half of it is a harem story about the MC meeting tons of different girls in his school or whatever, and then the second half is a tournament arc where they all fight to see who gets to win his love
>>284805147Of course they do.
>>284805194You know a kengan spinoff where girls in a certain highschool fight to see who will get to go out with popular guys through proxy fights with woman's mma fighters would be fun for a few volumes
>>284795757The tragedy...

>>284795716ULTRAAAAAAA COMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>284805194does this hurt as much as the male counterpart?
>>284806873The clitoris is filled with sensitive nerve endings, so unless she's had female circumcision, absolutely.
>>284806873noit's still pretty damn painful though
>>284806947She's a big girl
>>284806873Not as much but it does hurt, and it has a higher chance of shattering the pelvis which will really hurt
>>284806873Nobody can answer that, but it's still an area with enough nerve endings to orgasm getting hit with bruising concussive force, and everyone agrees it hurts real bad.
>>284806836I love KI's announcer so muchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQIUi9bqMvw
>>284806873you're not getting your gonads directly crushed so presumably it's not as bad, but no doubt it still hurts like a bitch
>>284795588Wait a goddamn minute, those THOOM!s are inside a speech bubble. He's doing his own sound effects in the middle of a fight??
>>284795620Did… did… uhhhh…. Not to spill seeds or anything like that, but methinks a break through hath been necked by le bottigla
>>284806543Tell what you want about sandro's usage of it but making the shadow figure look nothing like the character's design is really bad imho.
>>284807565I think it's to indicate it's coming from inside his chest
>>284805147I need more of female on female ryona
>>284806746>>284806800Me too. All that is happening in the background of Asura and I completely forgot about it.

>>284795641ENTER character who was once divisive but is now a tiny footnote in the list of stuff people get mad about in this trainwreck of a franchise.
>>284795653Words cannot adequately describe how much I fucking can't stand this kind of sophistryHey jackass, did that velocity just come out of fucking thin air (okay it did sort of) YOU ARE DESCRIBING HOW HE HAS MORE POWER WITH JUST AN EXRA STEPOH WOW WE PUNCHED FASTER THAT'S SUCH A COMPLICATED IDEA TO THINK ABOUT
>>284819304he's a car now, just accept it
>>284795773>his "supply"Bane?
>>284819304Yours would be a reasonable complaint if there wasn't another guy with a super mode that doesn't rely on generating more torque, but still makes him punch harder.
>>284820530It only sounds stupid because they don't just say "Oham is contracting his joint muscles 6x faster" or whatever the speed increase of more oxygen gives.
>>284769822This is why I love Kengan storytime threads. Posts like these are gems. Just like that infamous mental breakdown one anon had over timing.

>>284820906this is my favorite so far
Chapter 17: Annihilation
>>284821325Omori was more visually interesting when he had those dumb eyes.Currently he's the most boring fang we've had.

>>284821489>Death>only one died
>>284821515making most if not all fighters freelance in Omega really killed the relation between Ceos and their fighters, this was what most differentiated Ashura from other fighting manga.
>>284795641>>284795653Eeeh.... Isnt Power= Torque x velocity of rotation per second? In Ohma's case the velocity of his heart. Maybe the analogy is Cosmo was talking about power in the sense mass as form of energy(E= mc^2)? Anyway waka should have said the source of the Power is Torque not that they aren't related.

>>284821445Were there any other active kengan fighters that could go toe to toe with the fang other than Waka and Hatsumi? Guessing this guy didn't mention the latter because he's so flakey he doesn't have much of a reputation
>>284821409>>284821422Not as impressive anymore when you realize he was just stressed from Yumigahara eyeing a pay raise.
>>284821894My guess:>waterfall: kuroki (you can see a bit of beard in the silhouette>guy mounting and beating a dude: adam or muteba >guy reading: kaneda maybe?
>>284821587Thanks op. "We" are getting "close" to the "starting line"
>>284822343I think he only starts shungufication after the boat
Anyone got that "no one can out-hack him" edit? It has three other authors with the "could ___ take him?"
>>284821312This nigga is either strong as fuck or as fragile as an ant, no inbetween.
>>284821409Ass!
>>284821445Another mystery nigga.
Is it illegal to throw your own shit in Kengan? We need a Bacterian in this manga. Someone whose "strategem" is to "stink" so awfully that it throws everyone off of their game. They would eat specially to give themselves loose bowels in time for the fight, bad breath, constant sweating etc, all to make it impossible for their opponent to focus. Sensory abuse is strong.
>>284821572>reading nigga
>>284822217If Monke is a Martial Fighter Superman is all thanks to Metsudo who fed and trained his ass under the best conditions possible. It is a betrayal. It's like you reach the highest patent in the army of your country only to desert and use everything you have learned to join the enemy's army... And he still killed a body guard
>>284821525Is this mukaku or tiger (my gains) niko?
Has Metsudo ever actually had anything not go according to keikaku?The only instance I can think of is when he failed to kill whoever was the current connector at that moment.Every other time he has either planned it that way from the start or benefited anyway.The only time he loses is to glaze another unbeatable character. Two writer's pets colliding like an immovable asshole meeting an unstoppable bastard.
>>284821445>157 wins and 0 lossesImpressive. Imagine if someone had a record more than twice as unfathomable, I don't see how he could possibly be beaten.
>>284823126Pretty sure that's Genzan
>>284823126That's Kiryu's master who "killed" Ohma's Niko because of [reasons].
>>284821312ENTER OLD FAGGOT
>>284821587Thanks for the dump.
>>284821409Very important last panel
>>284821409Daro had to be physically restrained by the editor from changing the angle of the bottom left panel to a shot with a puddle beneath her.
>>284821325Omori looks like he's having a bad trip
>>284823011ENTER Julius.
>>284823256Metsudo has the unironic super power of being blessed with luck. So all his plans is just him throwing random darts and hitting bullseyes.
>>284821629you're not allowed to like anyone from purgatory btw
>>284821587*57 wins and one loss
>>284821572Gaolang, Akoya, Julius, (Raian, Meguro or Adam?) Sen or Rei, Bando and book nigga(?)
>>284821972I was thinking Kuroki but he looks too skinny to be him
>>284821409I want to make her that scared too.
>>284798501Do you immediately faint when you hold your breath?
>>284821445Kures shit and piss themselves in his vicinity.
>>284823848Do you not?
>>284823821You're forgetting what early Kuroki looked like
>>284821445Wasn't Mukaku also a Kengan fighter for a while?
>>284821525Would Genzan actually show up if he was alive?
>>284824314Someone might scout him. I mean the motorhead CEO did that with Kuroki
>>284821587>gotch-style triningN-naruhodo...
>>284824314He fought Niko for shits and giggles so he'd probably jump at the chance to test himself in a match against someone strong.
I find it kinda lame seeing all those 9999W - 0L winrates because it shows that none of these top tier guys actually fought one another Except for Waka
>>284822751Be sure to post this pic after each round of the KAT
>>284822117I don't think we see that CEO and Seki interact at all in Omega.I have a vague memory of shark woman and Muteba talking briefly but it's a far cry from the chemistry they had in Ashura.
>>284824387I mean yeah because they'd probably cripple each other. I think they explicitly mention at one point that you see a lot of fighters with zero wins because the ones that lose often have to retire or get fired
>>284822751I miss when his name was lolong
>>284824476It never was.
>>284824490This, same as Gaolang / Kaolan
>>284824387IRL, how often do you see S&P 500 corporations suing each other? They're in different sectors with marginal cases of overlap like buying real estate, but there's just not a lot of reason to waste the time and effort going after each other. Business comes first, after all.
>>284823523Daro is a literal crossdressing homo.
>>284821312man he looked dried out
>>284821409>pantyline>thighs>sweatoh god
>>284824275He did indeed and in classic kengan style his strength was genuinely unfathomable because his participation in the kengan matches was before he invented the niko style but post him trying to kill the connector with his buddies while using the advance. So he didn't have broken techniques yet but his exposure to the connector should have triggered him "scaling the wall".The other weird thing about that page is that it implies Erioh was weaker than Agito.Speaking of Erioh, the time frame of when he and Mukaku would have been active in the kengan matches lines up but I don't think Erioh or Metsudo ever acknowledge "his" existence.As always we are left with more questions than answers.
>>284824490>>284824520Get your post-Comikey takeover propaganda out of here.
>>284824646Only good guys get to "scale" the "wall". Bad guys will job and "eat shit".
Seki is so cool
>>284821409That isn't sweat running down her legs.
>>284821367I actually like this in that while Ohma won with his new power-up form, Seki just gets up shortly after.It might even have the implication that if Seki knew what was coming he could've overcome it.What I'm saying is that he ends up looking pretty good despite his loss.
>>284821409This makes it sound like it's just gonna be another fight, and if that was the case, that'd sound like an incoming axe.Also hot.We'll just combine these two into "the ass that saved the manga" I think.
>>284821555>Sarashikubi prisonHuh. Not sure if anyone has noted this since the Sarashikubi Women's Prison comes up in Strike It Rich.
>>284821587It says a lot about how well liked Seki is that not one "me" commented on "that"Also>Pro-wrestlers are depicted as jobbersI see Sandro's character bios remain consistent throughout the years.
>>284825370The margin was razor thin.
>>284823120NTA and I don't feel like going back to check but I think Yumi was just some Outsider guy who worked his way into Metsudo's Bodyguards. Of course Yumi wasn't on board with the cult nonsense when he wasn't an orphan raised in that environment. That's Metsudo's fault for thinking he could brainwash a guy with ambitions >>284824646 Mukaku entering into the Kengan matches sounds like a Kuroki situation where he'd normally not bother unless he owed someone
>>284821445>>284821458Fang level counter: 1
>>284822217It's incredibly funny that Sandro tried building Yumigahama as a dishonourable scumbag, even up to Koga's fight against him. When you look at the actual fight against Misasa, Yumigahama stayed completely loyal to the rules and never even tried to exploit their lettering, even though right before the match, he said he was going to murder Misasa.
>>284821445>>284821458 We would then later come to find out that Waka's loss to Agito was because he was still "green" with it and that loss was years ago. We would also later come to find out that Waka lost to another guy who Agito replaced as "Fang" because that guy, Hatsumi, flaked out of the job and essentially became "Wasted Potential Man"
>>284825854poor waka, always the bridesmaid, never the bride
>>284825854Hatsumi's "potential" is jinxed. In his worst condition, he demolished his opponent in under a minute. Then his condition gets better and he is sweating out his ass against Bando. Then he reaches peak condition and gets low diffed by Agito. He then trained for years, got pre-initiative and almost got Himuro'd by Kaneda. The more power he draws out, the worse he does. He better watch his back in case a boat jobber wants a piece of him when he finally gets principles
>>284825891Could be worse, he could be Gaolang, lose to Agito once and then when he finally gets his rematch lose to Agito again. All in front of the Prince he's suppose to be protecting as well. At least Waka gets Agito's sloppy seconds in beating up Omori who gives off semi-retired vibes >>284825974 Hatsumi's a moron who gits gud at the last second before a fight and in the case of his match with Agito he got gud against a version of Agito that stopped existing, so Hatsumi looked like a chump get humiliated by an Agito who got gudder
Jesus, look at all those spoilers. I'm scared.
>>284825974To be fair, Bando is a hard counter to 99% of grapplers and not getting outright splatted by him at match start is already more than most of the KAT roster could do. It's a legitimately good showing from him.
>>284821894>>284821972Unironically Waterfall guy might be this guy, which is funny considering he jobbed on the boat to Katsu assassins. This is if the light on his head is supposed to signify baldness.
Whenever I reread Ashura it reminds me my old "fondness" for the series was always "legitimate"
>>284826830>Fought over 90 matches>Won all of them>Wasn't considered a guy who could take Agito I see how the Twink who'd later job to Setsuna took him out so easily
>>284824646>The other weird thing about that page is that it implies Erioh was weaker than Agito.Very believable. Later on in the manga, Erioh calls Agito a total monster for how powerful and skilled at the same time he became.
"He" still "appears" to be "scaling" the "wall"....
>>284827570There were outdoor matches so most of the people he was fighting were probably dojo fighters Koga was stomping in chapter 1. Its really hard to get a perspective of levels since there are so many layers of jobbers. Rihito gets squashed by most tournament fighters. Rihito was no diffing boat jobbers. Boat jobbers are probably the top 10% kengan fighters since they were selected for the annihilation tournament so they probably destroy the average kengan fighter. One of the worst kengan fighters in the whole organisation of 1000 people was giving trained Koga a rough time. Untrained Koga was destroying entire dojos by himself. Those dojo people were probably a level above the average thug in an alleywayWho even knows what layer of shitter he was taking on "outdoors"
Does One Punch Man has any character that is weak enough to participate in the tournament without outright jobbing? Something more on "our" level?
>>284826830no chance, this guy just exists to be a reference to oro from street fighter
>>284827910this post reeks of "uninitiated"
>>284828247The "weak ones" are the ones to "worry" about, because the "strong ones" are too strong to win.
>>284828247Mumen Rider
>>284825370Same. Most of his next victims don't get this luxury...

>>284822751At your service
>>284829193It's a social mock fighting thing in Japan. Basically means that Mumen Rider is good at handling kids.
>>284829515That actually makes a lot more sense. I thought him getting into a children's tournament was the story saying that he started training at a very young age.
>>284828988Its unfortunate for new readers but there was no possibility of having a spoiler free kengan storytime since KvP ended in omega.
>>284829611It's a good thing, the first thread was not looking very promising on that front, it's just very funny.
>>284829611Good, fuck newfags. We're here to talk about how bad Omega is in retrospective anyway.
>>284807565>Wait a goddamn minute, those THOOM!s are inside a speech bubble. He's doing his own sound effects in the middle of a fight??Yes he is

>>284829511Nice
Kengan was so much better when the fights were run by amoral, self interested businessmen and politicians who largely don't care if the fighters get killed or crippled for life compared to them being a team of generically good guys later on.
>>284830497What's crazy is that Sandro had set up some good infighting between factions inside Kengan, the one's who have positive working relationships with their fighters and the likely vast majority who see them as nothing but pawns. The No-Kill rule is almost certainly hampering a ton of Kengan Fighters, like Akoya. A lot of these guys are fucking psycho's who while aren't in the game of killing probably wouldn't lose sleep if their opponent dropped dead mid-fight. They probably can't fight at their full potential if they have to go easy on a bunch of Boat Jobbers. There's also likely the Fighters who are aware they're pawns and don't care, I think some Fighters in Kengan state/point out how much they don't give a fuck about what their Boss wants because it doesn't really concern themselves personally Not to mention Kazzy's "Hey I'll just pick your Fighter for you, don't worry though cuz I'll get you the best fighter available. Trust me" Business. How fucked is the economy because Kazzy kept giving his buddies opponents jobbers like Kaneda. It would be interesting if it became a plot point that the Kengan Matches are outdated and aren't really needed anymore
>>284825370Sandro used to be good at making both fighters look good
>>284769191>>284769205>>284769224love the action here
>>284828988At least they're using the spoilers, I'm kinda proud.

>>284821474Ah, I thought KAT meant Kengan Association Tournament. Do people just say KAT to avoid spoilers, or is it just a coincidence?
>>284831710It's a mouthful, so it's just convenience.
>>284831756I guess that makes more sense.
>>284829511Any chance someone could outhack Sandro one day?I could imagine an edit>The subversion misfired
Oh God I just remembered something Anons new to Kengan might have a field day with how Jerry talks in his first appearance. God I miss Jerry, he had one of the best Martial art styles
>>284831991I genuinely believe there are authors that took a bigger shit down their golden goose even today but its hard to find another community as buckbroken as keng/a/n. You will see them schizoing out at basic tropes and phrases in other manga. Comperatively, Gou/sotsu took like 2 years, rebuilds were one and off movies, people stopped caring about opm manga since MA arc ended, even /snk/ only needed to cope for 2 years at most. Soon its gonna be 4 years since Eddie died and all hope was lost...
