>>285100055Rihito is the kind of guy who finances cars he can't possibly afford to pay back purely because the salesman offered to "throw in" that bullshit paint protection coating they sell.
>>285100264HASSAD GONE
>>285100068I bet Rin is a good "sucker" too.
Chapter 31: Voyage
>>285100264You'll have your revenge, sooner or later.
>>285100079>3/33Does Kazzy think that the numbers don't lie and they spell disaster for Metsudo at sacahfice?
>>285100386Lots of running away lately
>>285100149>last panel on the bottom leftLike CEO like fighter
>>285100423It's pretty crazy that they wholesale ripped Oro from SF and made him a character.Japanese copyright laws are so weird, it's either draconian as fuck no fun allowed tier or it's yeah whatever do what you want I don't care.I'd have thought Capcom would be the former but I guess not.I am aware there's a SF crossover later.
DONEIt's always fun to see the early version of some characters, like unshowered Kuroki.
>>285100464Top right panel should be how every character reacts when Himuro starts talking to them like they're equals.
>>285100475KAZZY WE HAVE TO RUN THERE'S NO TIME HE HASN'T LOST HIS "FIGHTING SPIRIT"
>>285100310ENTER BBC
>>285100500>Buff 40'KanedaThis chapter alone covers like 1/3 of the entries in that "early Kengan art" collage
>>285100201Our wholesome chungus wacky old man Metsudo! How could any fighter working for him not be slavishly loyal after hearing such inspiring words?
>>285100500He's built like a fucking tank in that top panel.Kuroki looked jacked a few pages ago but Kaneda is as wide if not wider.
>>285100237>>285100247I still have no idea what Sandro meant by this. The powerlevels feel like they're all over the place here. Hassad is not that weak surely, or maybe this guard is way too strong. I don't see anyone else in the tournament getting this manhandled.
>>285100371College teacher Sen...>>285100394Hobo Kuroki...>>285100404Ghibii Cosmo...>>285100411Ramones Hollis...>>285100486Russian grunt Okubo...The art really came a long way>>28510050050's Kaneda...
>>285100529I don't think Chiba speaks again before his fight. Those two sentences were enough to get a feel for the character apparently.
>>285100394>Sen cheated on thisOutside of her smoking she's basically an ideal woman so he's a weak faggot for losing her
>>285100404KEKKuroki the drunkard lance
>>285100515>"Kazzy the Raging Rook"I love his nicknames
>>285100237>>285100247In the end, this match came down to a razor thin margin despite what the visible damage would suggest. >>285100746To this day I have no idea what to make of this and their later "rematch". Is the idea supposed to be that Hassad took a dive on purpose as some 4D chess bullshit in the war between Metsudo and Hayami, and this whole argument/jobbing was staged to put him on the island in the shadows along with medicine man?It's a weird scene that nobody ever brings up again(both in terms of Metsudo's characterization and in general), and Sandro seemed to want to walk back either the strength of the bodyguards or Hassad's weakness based on that later scene.
>>285100299It's only retroactively I'm noticing the flaws that carried over into Omega.Putting "quotes" around every other word and describing characters as unfathomable monsters is a benign thing but the shit he pulled here where Metsudo needs to clarify things almost directly to the audience is egregiously bad.He did the same shit when Shen fought Mukaku, he interrupts the fight to have Shen break the fourth wall and read Mukaku's mind about whether or not Shen has Superman syndrome. If you need to immediately take the audience to the side after you've done something and explain why it actually makes perfect sense then you've fucked up as a writer. Show, don't tell.
>>285100042I guess Nogi is the only CEO that isn't completely retarded and doesn't immediately give up on a promising fighter after 1 loss.>>285100201Anyone edited this one to be about the readers yet?>>285100237>>285100247Well... fuck I genuinely wasn't expecting that. Is this why Hassad is meme'd?>>285100287kek I wondered why it was 33 fighters and not 32.
>>285100019
>>285100031>Calling a gay guy a faggot>Directly asks for Akiyama's pussyI feel like current Lihito wouldn't do any of this
>>285100404>>285100500For all the shit the early art gets, hobo Kuroki and sleazy card shark Kaneda were genuinely better fits for Kengan than their later iterations.
>>285101005Neither does Seki's CEO or Medicine Man's. Seems like Rihito's CEO immediately dumping him is supposed to show that he's kind of an impulsive retard, which is held up when Nogi outmaneuvers him easily.
>>285100286heh
>>285100214Trying to kill the chairman of the association that owns the tournament and ship you're in is not exactly the smartest choice in this situation
>>285100746I think it's just a way to keep the readers on their toes and show that even someone who had such an impressive result in their previous match isn't safe
>>285100264EXIT
>>285100299Am I supposed to believe that Himuro wouldn't get humiliated worse than Hassad by that guard?
>>285100055Can you just buy a Kengan Association Membership? I thought it was a big deal?
>>285100646You wouldn’t want your lungs moving on their own, wouldu?
>>285100770He gets a brief scene playing shogi too IIRC. >>285101397Sandro would certainly like you to.
>>285100404hobomaxing kuroki
>>285100125Kazzy looking like a goddamn sasquatch in the bottom panel.
>>285100404Who even taught Cosmo all this? Kureishi talks to him about assassins on their spare time?
>>285100247>>285100264Hassad over.
>>285100394Damn, this series surely likes to wank up obvious jobbers.
>>285100685Kaneda just looks wider because he's way shorter
>>285101087I definitely agree on Kaneda at leastHe got oddly moefied as the series went on
>>285100319> Sun and Steel, by Yukio Mishima
>>285100237>>285100247>>285100264The first time expectations were subverted.
>>285100423gaolang titties...
Alright, it's me the speed reader I just finished Asura really fucking good book goddamn please tell me there is a solid quit spot for Omega or is it a frog boil
>>285100394Let me guess, this guy's gimmick is he is some kind of drunk yamabushi hobo but also a super strong matrial artist on the side? There is also a brooding dark skinned guy, old master and some kind of creepy kid. What a joke.
>>285100031>>285100042Resentful Coerced Sex With Kaede!!!
>>285101973Chapter 50. You'll know exactly when and why. Chapter 144 is the point of no return where any last sparks of hope died. Anything beyond that, and you're stuck in Sandro's "spider web".
>>285100068>A "sucker" paid more attention than a salaryman when signing contract
>>285100201This perspective is one of the key factors that made Kengan Asura work, and its absence is a big part of why Kengan Omega doesn't work.
>>285100031>At least just let me get your pussy. It was worth a shot. He's honest.
>>285100237>>285100247>"He's the fastest!">Jobs immediatelyThat's it?No explanation on his speed?
>>285101973You really are better off calling it quits now
>>285100264EXIT so hard that in the final panel it made Setsuna stop gooning
>>285101973Omega should only be read for the memes. Yeah you could stop reading before Chapter 50, but there's no real point to that. That's just an awkward stopping point even if that is where things go off the rails. Either read it all or leave Omega behind.
>>285101338I think you're on the money.
>>285101540Probable answer is either Kureishi or his CEO, because you want to keep up with the competition and the who's who of martial arts. Also literally every CEO knows Kuroki, Rihito got stuck fighting him because he got the dead last pick.
>>285100500fucking gamblers lol
>>285100310The Impregnator
>>285100404The Beard....
>>285100486He looked a lot more like Fedor early on.
>>285100055So does Lihito's company not even do anything?Actually, same goes for Kazuo's. Are they both just money laundering fronts for the Kengan shit?
>>285100237>>285100247>>285100264Do you think Metsudo planned on this?And that's why he had there be 33 combatants instead of the 32 that would be more appropriate for a tournament?He wanted to make an example of one of them?
>>285103098He knew from predicting human nature that someone from the new fighters might pull some shit, and if so it's going to be the hot head new guy instead of the established companies fighters who've been treated like kings so far. The number of fighters on the big ship was 28 anyway and enough for a proper tournament. I don't think Metsudo cared if any or all of the 5 new fighters acted up at all. They're just there to give fresh blood a shot.
>>285103004Nah, it's a legit proper if small company.
>>285102409On the contrary, he's simply mad some dirty arab spilled his blood over HIS Ohma
>>285100404fucking lol
>>285100746>>285100883I think that's basically it. Nogi hired Hassad to job on the boat so he could get picked up by Hayami so he could betray Hayami later as part of some 4D chess match.>>285103098Taking in context later events, I would guess that Nogi just requested 33 combatants since he was already planning his Hassad double agent move against Hayami, and Metsudo being who he is was just like 'sure why not'. Given we see his internal thoughts, it doesn't seem like it was planned, but it also doesn't seem like he cares, which makes me suspect that it was just something that Nogi requested and Metsudo just agreed to.
>>285103004If I recall, he runs it surprisingly well.
>>285100404Didn't Seki's profile mention something about the eye tattoo that Daro keeps forgetting to draw
>>285100031Kinda based.
>>285100394Oro from street fighter?
>>285100055Now that I think about it, Yamashitakazuo doesn't have his own company, right?
>>285100079>I forgot to give Yamashita an explanationI say he's perfect for the incompetent association.
>>285100110They do understand in the simplest way.
>>285100310My GENOCIDERHeads up for new readers, the only sex scenes and the only kind of sex scenes we're getting past this point is Blacked kino
>>285100500If he kept those muscles would he have actually had a chance vs Gaolang?
>>285103004Lihito's does something, Kazzy's is a company in name only
>>285100191Why did he get angry when Rihito callad him a faggot then?
>>285104456you know faggot is an insult, right?
>>285100201I want Rihito to speak up here. That should be fun.
>>285100237>>285100247>>285100264Huh, alright. That anon wasn't lying about the guards being unfathomable.
>>285100529He lost 50k then.
>>285100579Thanks OP.
>>285104475Yes? Guess I'm just desensitized from all the faggot calling in this hellhole.
>>285104456Gay people usually don't take kindly to being called faggots
>>285101087Kuroki's beard becoming a kind of puff-ball mane bothers me. It was probably easier to draw it that way but I like the separation between his head hair and beard here.
>>285102104>>285102522At this point I'm more curious about what happens in the legendary chapter 50/51 than anything in Asura kek.
>>285100055I like how Nogi is cooking here,
>>285102666
>>285100068
>>285102811Kengan Alpha will feature Kazzy's child with the prostitute and a gang of Muteba's bastards

>>285100404Hobo master
>>285100237>>285100247>>285100264LEGENDARY MOMENT
>>285100299I don't think Hassad was *that bad* going by the records. Surely, guards could've jobbed some more people here and there.
"I" am posting in "the" thread.
>>285100310ENTER GIGANIGGAAlso, Iwami got #7 with Hong? Impressive.
>>285100319Reminds me of Falcon.[/spoilers]
>>285100386I like their interactions.
>>285100404ENTER, I guess
>>285100423Can't wait for old master to BTFO everyone. They are the strongest.
>>285100464>>285100449eight "phrases" in two "pages", i would "leave" too
>>285100500Kaneda looks so old here.
>>285100515I love Kazzy The Hyped Up moments.
>>285100567>>285100310Chapters were so dense back then. Now it feels like in some of them nothing happening.
>>285105405The guy explained in the page you quoted... the CEOs can bring people with them
>>285103884Don't gaslight people.there is some hot kure sex on the menu and gay setsuna flashback kino
>>285105489Yeah... I was "retarded".
>>285101439That ".1" in the 5.1 bil comes from the enterance fee to the fights for kengan title. Rihito probably had to fight just like Kazzy.>>285103638He has Yamashita trading co.
>>285100031
>>285100237>>285100247>>285100264EXIT the arabian spring

>>285100486Incredible amounts of ENTER this ch
>>285105900Boxers are known jobbers, don't hype them up.
>>285100404
>>285100475>>285100500
>>285104037He would be too strong and you know what happens to those
>>285105954Boxers may be used as jobbers a lot in works of fiction, but that doesn't change the fact that their strength is the real deal.
>>285100515ENTER one of the best gags in this manga
>>285100579Thanks anon. I remember speed reading these setup chapters when I first read kengan since I didn't like most of the early characters like Ohma.
>>285105967>Kazzy "The Raging Rook">Kaneda is the winner>The chapter ends on Hibiki's telling the ghost, who wants to repeat her embarassing failure, with a quip "Go to Hell."Danberu is so much better written, it's astonishing.
>>285100779>outside of the addiction that's going to ruin her health AND looks in a decade or two she's the ideal womani mean
>>285104962Weird mane is half of it, the other half is that modern Kuroki looks like he spends 2 hours a day combing and styling his hair. This Kuroki matches the look of someone who lives innawoods, spends 20 hours a day on martial arts training, and occasionally emerges to kill someone with his bare hands. The clothes also have the same issue, but it's not quite as apparent.
>>285100237>>285100247>>285100264KWAB
>>285100055Nogi is really good at luring people into life ruining debt
>>285103004>Are they both just money laundering fronts for the Kengan shit?Funny thing actually, Rihito actually managed to turn his Shell Company into a legitimate business. Komoda and Ivan both work for him and the company grew to a bunch more employees. Rihito is a well-loved CEO among his employers and even won a tournament to get the prize money for them. Rihito being dumb may be a front, he's surprisingly business savvy
>>285100110>just fucking winSo they are on "that" level
>>285106017I wonder what the joke was in Japanese
>>285100247Hassad bye
>>285100275>"Hassad soon" poster screaming in the background
>>285100201And they shit on Yumi for wanting to work in a better enviroment
>>285100094Isn't that shit the exact thing the Kengan matches were meant to prevent?
>>285100110>owe a lot to Mr.Nogi>but it turned out she was in debt to Metsudo and working for him all alongDid Sandro forget?
>>285106539Merchants gonna merch
>>285100319>back when I was a student, I read a manga >I remember being bores the whole time by its mediocre plot and AI generated characters
>>285100529ENTER Patrick Bateman
>>285101444If your lungs were capable of genuine rebellion, then yeah, there's no other real option than to let them have their way. What, you're gonna rip them out? Your amygdala is processing traitorous thoughts a little too intensely, your heart's pumping out some sick freedom beats, your gut bacteria wants a more constitutional monarchy - you're gonna tear them all out, too?
I kind of like the direction Sandro took a lot of the Fighters he introduced here The vast MAJORITY of them are R1 jobbers. Takemoto gets killed a Chinese femboy, Himuro gets beaten by Kaneda and his spot ripped from him. Chiba gets put in his place by Hatsumi. A R2'er and a R3'er sizing up people who do not matter
>>285100951I disagree. Having expository dialogue isn't inherently an issue. It is kind of strange for Metsudo to be explaining all this, but the alternative would be to have someone like Kaede explaining it to Kazzy. Having Metsudo fulfill that function makes more sense since he's a pretty important character in need of panel time and characterization.
Are we ready for today's "chapter"?Should there be a separate "thread"?
>>285107005All of them have cool fights and thats all that matters.
>>285101015Lmao
Are none of these assassins bothered that they're famous? And I don't get the point of hiring an assassin to duel. I guess it's possible that some of them have a target on the ship to kill and being a fighter is just a front?
>>285107221>today>chapter"Green" one... did you not hear of "the tragedy"?
>>285107255Kure Clan is full of wholesome people who protect the peace and fight battles straight
>>285100287I feel like Metsudo knew something like this was gonna happen
>>285100310Enter giga niggaI like to imagine the "manhunt" he's referring to is Kaede and Rin
>>285107255> Are none of these assassins bothered that they're famous?How would you hire one if they weren't?
>>285100357>unprincipledAren't we all?
>>285100486Time to slay this shogi game
>>285100579Thanks op
>>285100436Anatomically correct Himuro.
>>285107255>And I don't get the point of hiring an assassin to duelThe average Kengan Fighter is a massive scrubs so CEO's splurged on famous Assassins for the special occasion. Going to need someone who specializes in killing if the CEO is serious about winning
>>285107255Assassin is a catch all term that means these guys kill people for money. The ones hired here are the ones that made a name for themselves by killing their targets bare handed.
>>285107676Assassins are good at infiltration and not leaving traces that could get them or the employer implicated. Do the Japanese have a different impression of assassins and assassination as public spectacles?
>>285108435 The Assassins are not there for that and they're all effectively just Mercenaries not matter how hard Sandro tries to convince you they're nothing like Muteba. The Kure are mercenaries, they get hired for any sort of job and that includes getting into Kengan Death Matches. Kuroki's standards and practices for what Assassin job he'll take are so specific I don't think anyone really hires him for anything other than to be a distraction so the other Assassins can go assassin. Inaba is effectively his best friends Bodyguard and Rei was the closes thing to a stereotypical anime assassin before softening his techniques for pussy
>>285106017Danberu gets away with a lot because it's a comedy series that can have a loose continuity and drop in characters and go to a lot of locations whenever it feels like it. The only thing it really has to do is make sure to keep characters in rotation and tell good jokes.
>>285101015Accurate
>>285100310MOTHERFUCKING ENTER
>>285108645>>285108435I feel like defination of Assassin between Japanese and the rest of the world is different
>>285100486I fucking love Okubo
>omega is on a "break"bravo sandwich, you truly "subverted" my "expectations" for this week
>>285109065Considering the amount of media where ninjas fight head on like combat power houses I think you're right
>>285100310Tch... If this shit character was introduced in Omega, everyone would be outraged and say it's in poor taste... but because it's Asura then being a Queen of Spades BLACKED manga is immediately kino and based.... Hassad jobbing... if that shit happened in Omega, everyone would be calling Sandro a hack gag writer who wastes good designs and should commit seppuku but because it's in Asura, it's automatically comedy gold and based... it hurts sometimes being the only Kengan reader with brains and good taste
>>285106174To be fair if she dies you'd probably get a shit ton of money.
>>285109760
>>285100371>tfw Soryuin will never look at you like that
>>285100404Chipmunk Cosmo
>>285100570Maybe because he dies before the ship even lands

I don't get why the guy who is going to get ousted by the event gets to make the rules, and that he seems to make them up on the spot instead of providing a set of rules in advance. Is he just gonna announce last minute rules every round of the tournament too?

>>285120451Registering again? Can't tell if incompetency or intended. Maybe there's a reason there are a bunch of stragglers around so they can swap or something? But then again fighting is prohibited.

>>285120522Poor Rihito.
>>285120575>>285120595Yeah, I thought that's weird. It is intended then.>between fightersRight, fully intended then. But that begs the question how the stragglers got into the boat. Invitation or do they let in famous people for free?

>>285120541If Ohma had fucked her could Kiryu wait until the tournament ends before killing her?
>>285121093>>285121127It would be nice if you could use spoiler tags when making the usual keng/a/n jokes that clearly spoil fights or give huge hints about the outcome
>>285122336I know. I realized my mistake as soon as I saw >>285121173.
>>285122425easy mistake and not a very important fight so it's alright
>>285120769Guardbros got this. I mean, he's only one guy...
>>285122336Sorry for spoiling that Himuro "the Icy Emperor"' Ryo's nickname was "the Icy Emperor". I won't do it again.
>>285120769I have no recollection of this.I just recall it being weird Hassad was dumpstered to... hype the bodyguards? The guys who won't be taking part in the tournament.I guess it was for this then.
Was Sekibayashi the only one who didn't hate Yumi?
>>285120788Why is there a robot in the office. Daro?
>>285120847I'm slowly coming around on Rin...
>>285106358I like to think that Nogi really did give Rihito a shell company under the assumption that Rihito would do nothing but be a Kengan fighter so the company would simply be there as a front for him and didn't expect Rihito to turn it into a proper company because Rihito is pretty earnest in his way.
>>285121763He's a "friend" of the "employee" of "Himuro Ryo"
>>285120788These are the most depressing pages in Asura to read back on. How did we go from this to Daro's assistants mainly existing to prompt shit for him?
>>285120769 The Bodyguards quickly become Setsuna's fodder after this. Bodyguards are fodder in general, I bet most top Kengan Fighters could take them easy. It's just Agito and Metsudo's two closes Bodyguards that are an issue
>>285120847Kaneda looks like THAT?!

>>285120769Could Rolon Donaire have taken them?
>>285120715Because your shady merchant consortium doesn't need a chairman who is going to get tripped up by legalese and sudden changes in conditions, since that makes you look weak and invites instability. You want just enough fairness that the subordinate corporations don't revolt, but enough that only the most canny and ruthless candidates have a chance of succeeding you. In this specific case, Metsudo also has far and away the most money and political power of the corporations there, as well as as his leadership providing good yields for the other Kengan members, so he gets extra leeway. >>285120732If you kick out all the metagamers, Rihito might be the only remaining contender in the tournament.
>>285109760I still remember that thread that was deleted because of blacked and racist shitposting and how chaotic the threads became for a period of time
>>285125026
Genuine question from a Kengan newfag, where do the AI accusations come from?
>>285125614He admitted to using it for some stuff like backgrounds, then people started noticing it in other parts of his work.
>>285100529I believe that Kaneda can beat Chiba
>>285125614It started some time in Omega, Daro is pretty open about his use of it. It doesn't matter if the ai generated image looks good or not, the man doesn't care and it's another example of Daro hating having to draw for Kengan
>>285125614>accusations
>>285125614Not accusations, he literally admitted to using it. It started as just reference work, but now... "he" arrived at "that" level.
>I'm sure to win because my killing record is superior
>>285125735
>>285125735Aren't mangaka assistants usually young but highly talented artists? They can't handle perspective?
>>285125928Don't spoiler me I am still reading it.
How long until the slutty chinese femboy shows up
>>285125973It sounds like whether or not they can or not, using AI is just the norm for the series now and they weren't able to prooompt to his specification.It can't really be overstated how much is AI now. Everything on a page that isn't a pasted on character png with a white outline around them is AI, the backgrounds are AI, metaphorical panels are AI, extra characters are AI. Actually even the focused on characters are AI in like half the panels in the last couple drafts from what we can tell, so we're rapidly reaching a point where we might have a fully AI generated chapter of Omega this year.
>>285126182Give it another 200 chapters
>>285121077The "dark" web was made by him, did you forget that, too?
>>285126283Wrong slutty chinese femboy...
>>285126347Look, "we" have at least three, if we don't count "him".

>>285120668Wtf it worked
>>285126536He is "inconsistent" in proportion. Not ever a "femboy" as my fagtarded "other halfs" would say but still always very "cute."
>>285120788:(>>285120815Thanks anon>>285120847Looks comical desu
>>285126863It's hot too. Now THIS is comical!
>>285126706Back when the AI first started, we'd have regular threads of>chapter dumped>some anon comments on a fucked up panel>"I think that's AI">"Take your meds, not everything is AI!">someone goes to Daro's twitter>"I used AI here lmao"
>>285126913I remember
>>285125735I can't help but have symphaty for Daro
>>285126913revisionist history, for every panel like that there is another that daro was just like "yea i drew that myself lol i just dont care anymore"
>>285126972That anon didn't say anything wrong, it actually happened multiple times the way he described.
>>285126972I never said that the opposite didn't happen, but there's a certain point we fully "scaled the wall"
>>285126972This is true. Though I don't think anon meant it happened with every accusation just that it was common. I still remember the phase through table just being a genuine artist error...
This also reminded me of the times how omega just wouldn't have any breaks for years.
>>285125735>waistHow does "AI Translation" recognize the Japanese verb for "squander/deteriorate/misspend/wrongly allocate" is... and offer the incorrect English HOMOPHONE???That has zero logic. It's like a human LISTENED to Daromeon SPEAK ENGLISH and then failed literacy when writing the translation. But it's not that; it's a Google Translate of a social media post. That's... just not possible.
>>285127113Daro spent years in America, so he "speaks" English, so I assume that's just on him.
>>285127009>>285127011The point of the post is insinuating that keng/a/n wasn't being schizophrenic accusing everything of AI because it was sometimes right, when in reality they were constantly firing a schizophrenic shotgun that sometimes hit the right target
>>285127127>Daro used speak-to-text to write a Tweet>And he spoke English to do itDude is odd.
I like Sandro more than Daro
>>285127241Daro is a spiteful and bitter shell who actively brings down the "quality" of this shit even more than it needs to, but Sandro is still the root cause of it all ultimately. Even to this day in the era of full slop pages on the regular, Daro STILL sometimes produces a better iteration of some sequence in the draft or a character's expression and then Sandro has him make it worse.
>>285120484ENTERThe myth, the legend, one and only.
>>285120698
>>285126913I assume once he starts doing this shit everybody becomes the Nisekoi otter, right? I wonder if I'll be able to drop Omega once I get that far or if I'll be in too deep.
>>285120645Be careful, Kaneda. Himuro is on par with legends.
>>285105452>Now it feels like in some of them nothing happeningi think you mean all of them
>>285120726How can you spar is six seconds???
>>285127321This is actually a couple arcs after everyone lost all hope and it became impossible to really fix the deep pervasive problems in the series. Every time "we" manage to settle into a rhythm of "it is what it it is, can't really get worse" either Sandro or Daro shows us we were wrong.
>>285120769Hassad will be avenged.
>>285127269You are just talking about the manga. I dislike Daro as a person

>>285127384The first ever chapter I read of any Kengan was the one where Julius (I think) is using the water technique and its drawn as him literally becoming water to dodge attacks. Some of the edits and reactions posted in that thread made me laugh so hard I cried.
>>285128848Julius is the big bald buff guy. The water guy is Agito.

>>285126536>"He">6'6"You" have the "wrong one"
>>285120788I keep forgetting Daro has actual assistance and it's not just him whipping his Ai machine into over-duty
>>285120769Why does "he" look like Donkey Kong?
>check Fist of the Seeker for the first time>one of the first chapters has "that" phraseSandro was always unfathomable...
I always liked Himuro. Cool design with a "grounded" style amidst the outlandish gimmick of the other fighters and freaks in the tournament.Too bad Sandro is allergic to giving him an on-screen win against somebody that matters. I had hoped that KvP will feature some of the B-players of the Kenganverse, including Himuro.Then Chapter 50 came.
>>285100136He looks so menacing here
>>285100264Theeere goooeees my heeroo

>>285120484The most evil man in kengan

>>285127378six seconds is pretty good for a "spar"
>>285120769>>285125026"Our boss taught us not to be ashamed of our dicks"
>>285129701Are you telling me you weren't satisfied with his HIGH LEVEL EXCHANGE with Rei? Kengan fans are so ungrateful... "The general" himself praised his strength, and demanded that Ohma, Rei, and Retsudo PROVE they deserved to travel alongside one so unfathomable.
>>285126197Man this sucks because I'm still enjoying Omega after just finishing Ashura. It's not as good and a certain twist was incredibly cheap and should have been the starting premise but the fights are still good. Seeing shit like this yeah I understand why the fanbase is this mindbroken
>>285129062Too late, Sandro saw
>>285130177>Seeing shit like this yeah I understand why the fanbase is this mindbrokenIf you really think that AI has anything to do with then no, you don't understand at all.If Omega didn't have any of the other problems, or at least, none of the main problems then absolutely no one but the most anti-AI retard would care that Daro draws with AI now.
>>285130126>"The General" I completely forgot about that guy, what an odd and weird way to hype up a character by having him be friends with some general of a mercenary team in Japanese Favela. It doesn't even fit with Himuro's character as a guy who knows Jeet Kune Do >>285130177"We" have reached "that level" because of Sandro's impossible writing decisions, the Ai is just extra psychic damage for anyone that really loved the work Daro was putting out back in Asura
>>285130263The AI is a symptom of the rot in the series. Both the writer and artist just don't give a goddamn any more and it shows
Just finished the Gaoh Mukaku chapters and goddamn. What a schizophrenic nightmare that lead absolutely nowhere and actviely made Ashura more dogshit by retconning the lore.
>>285120726The "does" got me
>>285130458
>>285130458Why are you reading ahead without "us"? Are you at least following the story with the "old us" in the archive?
>>285130485Yeah except this happened in the span of 3 chapters or so.
>>285130610First one appears in Kengan Ashura, and I believe the second one appears during KvP
>>285130458 The Niko Style exists because Mukaku is a Forever-Seether and Ohma more or less drops the Niko Style for Principles >>285130606"He" is clearly trying to "scale the wall"
>>285130458>>285130610Congratulations, you've "scaled" the "wall" to the "dead zone" of Kengan. From here on out, absolutely nothing will happen. Characters will appear and talk, occasionally fight, attempt to assure you that things are happening, but it is a lie.Look "forward" to a new tournament of people taking turns running into one another's punches with their faces.
How the FUCK could Shen just not breathe anyway?It's not something you can fucking train away.
>>285130708To "scale the wall" without guidance is to "arrive" at the peak without eyes, unable to see there are still "greater heights"
>>285120484>I've "Become a shogi player before"what is this schizobabble?
>>285130764 Technically he's breathing but not frequently enough for it to effect his aging, some Wushu shit I think >>285130812"That" anon is "eager to scale" but is far too "green" even "now". "He" will only "hurt himself" if "he" continues
>>285130764It's not a matter of training, but principles. Anyone can do it
>>285130818Sounds like he might have a copycat ability to me.
>>285130764
>>285130892Are you telling me he is a dildo? Are dildo strong?
>>285130871I've just experienced the fucking Kure off-screen loss to a Wu who is a clone but also rejected huisheng but also did do it and works for the Connector but might also be weaker than Edward Wu was?.... Anyway, the "REAL"(Dios Mios) Champion's Tournament is about to start....(this was not set up in any way and the timeskip was badly telegraphed.). I wonder how the "Death Dealers" will play into it... will they have a fighter enlist in the "REAL"(Dios Mios) Champions Tournament to secure a better deal with the Kengan Association...? Well... not much else to do but find out...
>>285121055A hazama reference in my daily? Bless you anon, you are unfathomable
>>285130956I hope you enjoy the smell of saliva
>>285130956Did you like the design of any of the new characters
>>285130956 Death Dealers? Completely fucking forgot about them. They're not really relevant and we never see any members of the group that isn't Luohan so they're basically a non-entity that exists in name only. Luohan doesn't even have full power over them as Shen and Yan can make a call to remove any of Luohans decisions whenever they want
>>285130997I haven't "arrived" at that yet. I'm currently at Hatsumi vs Kaneda. I loved Gaoh Mukaku being a shady slithery conman. He should've lived bc of some bullshit asspull and announce he'll be back at it again...
>>285130923What?
Oh yeah i also forgot about the "I'm taking Kengan and Purgatory merger off the table." But you're also going to be a subsidiary(which is a way worse deal for you than what we had agreed upon and you should probably protest.) which changes nothing other than they exchange fighters(No reason to believe this hadn't already happened in the past. No KA rules against fighters enlisting in Purgatory and Vice Versa so long as they get registered by Kazzy. I thought Ohmer returning was "retarded" bc it's not like he even does that much but his mere presence takes away from our protagonists.
>>285131046You should have been there
>Work in library>Get hexed
>>285120522>>285120541I NEED to suck on Soryuins massive tits.
>>285131077I liked the first two matches of KVP, but then it was just a schizophrenic nightmare also. Two nikkers out of nowhere, third nikker behind the scenes, guys KILLING THEMSELVES and then going OOOH RYUKI YOU'RE SOOOO EVIL YOU'RE SUCH AN EVIL GUY YOU HAVE A "BEAST" INSIDE DON'T YOU I BET YOU LOVE KILLING BOYS :3 after you literally force his hand to murder you. Also Ohma doesn't fight any of the nikkers he just has a bout with Rolon(Would've made more sense for Agito to do it since he's the only really hung up on having jobbed to Kuroki..
>>285130956>>285131005I can't even remember, how many fucking time skips are there in Omega, and how long was each of them?
I love witnessing other "me" as they "scale the wall". Btw, who remembers Nogi briefly planning to take the Kengan Association public lol
Omega is "unfathomably" dogshit

>>285100110Cuteshida
Holy crap. It just keeps getting worse.Omega really only works as a comedy manga.All of the billions of deaths that worms commited were utterly pointless and shen is just a chill fucking guy who causes everone around him to SHYAAA in suicide because he's autistic and can't understand social cues. There's then, no point to any of the overarching plot at all. What if Ohmer loses? Oh well, Shen will just give him two more decades to train. What if he loses then? Oh well, one more decade. Or he'll insist they learn yoga breathing. If not he can always Huisheng and just start over the next generation. This is retarded. There are no real villains anymore. It's all toothless.
>>285134944>>>>>no villains anymoreOmega is pretty much danberu replacement though, yes
>>285134944I'm trying to decide if this is someone actually reading Omega for the first time or not, because the observations ring really close the normal shitpost territory.Not like it's impossible to make those on your own of course.
>>285121055JAYOKU HOUTENJIN!!!https://youtu.be/Atm_MzwTBGY
>>285100011>>285100019Kino yandere, omega could never
>>285135332"We' are all "Me" after all. Or "have you forgotten that?"For what's it worth i don't hate the manga. The overarching shadowy plot and Ohma backstory were to me always the weakest parts of Ashura, but Omega doubles on the worldbuilding autism and skips over the cool fights that made Ashura fun to read.
>>285135332Anyone paying attention will reach the same conclusion. It should click after finishing KvP and seeing all the villains that were set up straight up lose or die.
>>285126913working for Sandro is the highest level of torture, I don't blame Daro for coping with AI.
>>285136351I always imagined Shen and Yan is how Sandro sees himself v his editors.
>>285136169The average reading comprehension is not that high, shockingly enough.
>>285106358>Rihito being dumb may be a front,It's not.Lihito is a dumb guy who works hard
>>285135070NTA but even then. I forget if Louhan has any other goals than killing Shen as he even leads the anti-worm faction of the military snuffing out the random bombings and such. Maybe he has nefarious plans after he completely learns all the connector's skills but otherwise his evil is just "Tell not show" from the writing.
>>285125614He wasn’t using it at this point it doesn’t come up until omega
>Agito is the Fang of Metsudo >Omori is the Molar of MetsudoTakayama is the Incisor of MetsudoYumigahama is the Dentures of Metsudo
>>285136877Thats only because that evil villain is so aberrant nobody can catch up to his plans.
>>285100214>>285120769Metsudo stopped Masketta Man so Yodoe could be properly set up as a jobber
>>285121055Houtenjin is hardly the first time a game has you kick someone off the screenHow did it become so iconic?
After every KAT fight I'm gonna post the anime version of it so we can compare Also rank the fights And also rank the losers of each round
>>285138261Probably because Hazama looks and moves like Michael Jackson so the kick is very fancy.
>>285138762>Strong enough to fling a man halfway across the arena and embed them 1/3 of the way into solid concrete>not strong enough to get Florida Man to act sober when he's not on drugsIce Cream Truck got robbed. Also, I noticed on a re-read that this is a bit of foreshadowing about Cockroach's hyper awareness because he's the only spectator to actually hear ICT's humming.
>>285139892What do "we" think of Florida Man? Unfathomable? Too strong?
>>285139948An actual dark horse in the tournament. I knew he was strong but beating ICT was a surprise. Then clearing God in the Box because his delusions were so powerful was straight up Baki levels of powerlevel wank. I wasn't going to doubt Pete because I already did that with Gensai back in Asura, but Florida Man was honestly a hard matchup in a lot of brackets even without drugs. And a nightmare with even Magic Mushrooms. His endurance is too high, I think only Cockroach boasts a higher durability, and his strength is no joke and only gets stronger.
>>285138762sounds fun, I'm down
It's true that Omega is bad, but chapter release threads make me giggle consistently. I'd rather have a world with Omega in it, warts and all.
