I keep fucking these up lately, sheeshArchive:https://desuarchive.org/a/search/subject/daily%20kengan/start/2025-12-14/order/asc/Previous thread:>>285668650
>>285716221>ex idqb wait 433 KBWhat are you doing, anon?
>>285716268I don't fucking know myself, I guess. Whatever, it's good enough.
>>285716221>ex iqdb wait 433 KBYes, skibidi and all that shit

>>285716256Cute Inaba
>>285716221>433 KB>image is 444 KBEhhhh
>>285716243I was waiting for this one
>>285716298God I fucking love this fight
>>285716379I fucking love this fight. Judo fights in general manage to be really fun to read.
>>285716270under gi rules...
>>285716327Jurors just creamed his pants right now
>>285716221>>285716243>I keep fucking these up lately, sheeshi know how you feel, i fucking hate how over the last few weeks life has conspired to keep kicking me in the balls regardless of my efforts
>>285716344He couldn't go limp enough
>>285716344>despite his ball draining warm-up Muteba couldn't go limp
Chapter 72: Blindness
>>285716694HOLY SHIT All the chummy retardness made me forget this really is a no rules match.
>>285716713OUCH
>>285716713ouch
>>285716502NO YOU IDIOT! YOU STARTED THE BRUTALITY CONTEST PLAYING THE REASONABLE WELL ADJUSTED PERSON NOW DOOMS YOU
>>285716344>somehow, he broke his fall
>>285716713Still not as painful as your average Shigurui fight. That's not a bad thing.
>>285716298Remember when Kengan had fun art to visuale not just the fights, but the mindset of characters? >>285716327>>285716344Probably 2nd best opening to a fight after Wakatuki destroying Gozo's smile so far.
>>285716899>eyepokes>groin attacks>joint destructionDisregard the athletes, even the ones with magic powers. This guy is the one I don't want to fight against. Guys like this are the reason avoiding needless fights is core of martial paths.
>>285716243kengan asura is still in the title so it's good enough
>>285716256>serial killersMuteba doesn't strike me as someone who kills for free, though to be fair he was definitely enjoying it
>>285716587>>285716635>eye for an eye means the whole world goes blind>unless you blind everyone else firstActually smart
>>285716494NO, MUTEBA!...THAT'S JUST WHAT HE WANTED!!!!
>>285716654>>285716635Legitimately hard to read due to how gruesome it is. I love it. It doesn't have the same honorable factor as two guys punching each other
>>285716529THIS pain-contest was totally tolerable!>>285716731Oh, but this one? No, too much.Great writing.
DONEI quite like both these fighters, so this match is always fun to reread.
>>285716959it's fun coming right after Wakatsuki punched a guy so hard he achieved looney toons proportions, that there's a far more grounded type of violence with a much more visceral feel to it. Muteba is one to be afraid of because his damage isn't going to just leave you smiling against a wall.
>>285716959Yeah he's clearly a mercenary here to kill as efficiently as possible
>>285717115Damage to testicles is damage to the core of one's soul.
>>285716966Kind of inspiring? Muteba is my hero now
>>285716256Cutenaba
>>28571698810/10 page
>>285716298jeesus
>>285717127Thanks OPThis fight always stuck out as the most brutal one in the entire tournament and not just cause Meguro dies at the end.
>>285716934well that explains the lack of pupils
>>285717111>>285717127This and the waka fight is where things start to get real. Thanks anon.
>>285716357bakana... he... grabbed harder
>>285716933Rei Vs. Nezu's opening is amazing too
>>285717115this guy doesn't have balls
>>285716413>>285716431HE CAN’T BREATHE
>>285716502Why is this old man so smug?
>>285716379This fight still has some of my favorite art.
>>285716934kino
>>285717021really good expression here
>>285717127I think I'm finally starting to "get" it. Muteba transformed from "Genocider" into a "friendly guy" and now the opponent is too edgy to win. Despite Muteba going for the eyes first.
>>285716713Amazing that going for the nuts is a surefire predictor of a win in Kengan. It works for Muteba, it works for Ohma (twice), it works for Cosmo, and it works for Agito. Think Ryuki is the only one who managed to fuck it up.
>>285717193The Genocider? DID NOTHING WRONG!
>>285716933Put some goddamn respect on Gozo Murobuchi's name, his smile was the one thing Waka couldn't destroy.
Really dig this heavenly glow the fight has on some panels
>>285717575I meant no disrespect. Just that Gozo is going to need a lot of implants.
>>285717044IS THAT THE DRAGON CLAW TECHNIQUE?!?
>>285716315the first proper "you've got it all wrong". thing of fucking beauty ;-;
>>285717127I am hoping for Meguro to win, Frankenstein characters are always fun
>>285716713
>>285716934This makes the little mannerism where he always asks his opponents how they're feeling pretty cool in retrospect. He can't see their faces so he wants them to react.
>>285716243>i cant tell youre insane by... your breathingIdk I think the crazy face and saying kill over and over again are more dead giveaways.
>>285716256Second fight in a row no one respects the ref. I would have quit by now
>>285717981I think we're at two fights where fighters disregard the ref initiating a conclusion (Haruo and raian) and two fights where the Ref can't really reign in the fighters at the start (Wakatsuki and Meguro)
>>285716357Whats that thing under his eyes and in his nose, a tattoo?
>>285716399>Judo is the strongest martial art>In your dreamsMuteba being a wrestling fan? FORESHADOWED
>>285717981>>285718027>Referee>In a "no rules" brawlUh huh.I'm sure these "refs" will be "very important" in this story.
>>285718048Very minor spoiler but [spoilers]it's a genetic thing like his blood crying. But for some reason it only showed up later in life (and only sometimes).[/spoilers]
I'm gonna mald so fucking hard if Muteba loses this. He's my favorite fighter in the tournament so far besides Adam, Morobuchi, and Sawada, who've all ate shit.
>>285716280i like how The fly was a foreshadowing of Muteba's hearing, because he's blind
>>285716243>>285716256Imagine being dp'd by those two beasts...
>>285716357ouch, that look like it hurts
>>285716270Why don't Judo creates a category for no-gi like BJJ fags?
>>285718617The gi stays on
>>285716270Goes to show how FUCKING LAME judo is. It's a martial art about tugging your opponent's sleeves.
>>285717079same, shit's brutal and they don't even hate each other
>>285716280He's going to grab him by the speedo, isn't he?
>>285716379>judo is the strongest martial arts
>>285716357I don't think madmen are ordinary to begin with.
>>285716494His semi circulars canals, you say?
>>285716473jesus
>>285717021You really are AWESOME
>>285716713Those are some tiny balls.
>>285717115Your testicles have a large amount of sensitive nerves because evolution requires you to protect it at all cost. Getting them crushed is unironically one of the most painful things
>>285716256Did Kengan Art reach its peak here or during the semifinals? >>285716452Also Muteba is probably the worst fighter you could get for brutallity alone. This is my top 5 1-Muteba2-Ryan3-Meguro4-Akoya(modo psicotico) 5-Hanafusa Honorable mentions Seki and Wakatsuki.
>>285718675Shut the fuck up you nofight faggot. You probably LOVE pankration. Ju
>>285718841
>>285716934That's honestly a pretty cool twist. I thought his weird eyes were just stylized. Nice.
>>285716977The ol Toph Bei Fong
>>285716988I saw something similar in kill la kill. Any blind anons who can confirm this?
>>285718867Spoiler tags please anon. Nothing crazy in your post but you're still comparing fighters that haven't fought yet or taking into account some future fights
>>285717127That is the best fight so far.
>>285718970Yeah, looks pretty similar to my experience.
>>285718343Try Ctrl S
>>285716652He's still green, I could go limp after just one "woman"
>>285718971just one didnt fight
>>285717962>the crazy faceAnon...
>>285718867The semis and finals are probably the peak of the art, but there are other fights before them that are really great too like this. Seki vs Kiozan is also one of the best, and in general all the R2-3 stuff is solid.
>>285718705boy oh boy was I wrongwhat a fight
>>285718617Tradition, Judo was created for the battlefield where both men would be wearing armor. BJJ doesn't care because it was always made for sport.
>>285719028I'm phoneposting right now.
>>285716731Wait, so why did he react here like he was in pain? I thought pain to him is like pleasure. Did giganigger circumvent his pain-endorphins?
>>285716934Have to admit this was one of the best twists I've read. Perfectly foreshadowed, completely obvious once you re-read it, yet unexpected.>>285717115Yeah I admit I hate how little we see of Meguro's judo. I can buy an Olympic-focused dojo not teaching Ne-Waza techniques, but still what a shame. Especially after telling us judokas are strong on the ground. Funny how Muteba says "côte d'ivoire", didn't know he spoke french.
>>285716966I'm not sure if I buy the ability to listen through the monitors. Even if we put aside how superhuman that would be, he wouldn't know where the audio is coming from relative to the fighters.
>>285718873Put on your jacket, pansy.
>>285718343>it's a genetic thing like his blood crying. But for some reason it only showed up later in lifeWhere did you read that? Especially considering his clone doesn't have it.
Now I feel like re-reading the chapters introducing giganigger because I didn't pick up on any blindness hints.>>285719127Yeah, that's a bit dumb.>>285719122cote d ivoire is the official name of the country. Calling it Ivory Coast is like calling the USA America. Not really wrong, but not entirely correct either.
>>285719122>Funny how Muteba says "côte d'ivoire", didn't know he spoke french.Well, it is the proper name of the country.
>>285716221>Previous chapter:>>>285619496 OP, just felt like letting you know, you are linking the wrong thread.
>>285719118I'm guessing he gets an equal amount of pain and pleasure, and for a case that extreme the pain ends up winning out.
>>285719185>Where did you read thatPic related
>>285719301>I'm guessing he gets an equal amount of pain and pleasureReminds me of Pleasure Island from SexuaLobster.
>>285719118He secretes the hormones in resposne to pain so he first feels the pain
>>285719340How observant, I've never noticed.>>285719241>>285719212Never realized this either.
>>285719212>Now I feel like re-reading the chapters introducing giganigger because I didn't pick up on any blindness hints.I just skimmed the archives, and I didn't really see anything hinting towards it. Am I just blind myself?
>>285719293>>285716243
>>285716298nice art for a chapter called "eyeball".
>>285716256Bitch muteba is as much an assassin as any one of you fucks, he does it as a job too
>>285716298They won't see eye to eye
>>285716344>play with him MasakiHayami you kinky fuck
>>285719088Use a client that lets you spawn spoiler tags then
>>285716555I like it because it kinda subverts the idea of judo being less violent than other martial arts
>>285717127I could "fix" him.
Oh man I forgot how close we were to another favorite of mineGetting really hyped up for the next few days
>>285716713AAAAAAHHHHHHHH
>>285719118There's a delay between the pain and the pleasure kicking in, it's why he screamed out in pain for the other stuff too
>>285719088KurobaEx is pretty convenient for phoneposting since it also gives you automatic updates and all the nice stuff.
>>285719127Maybe they have a surround sound setup
>>285716966Imagine how hard the pussy stank must hit him
>>285716988Love that panel
>>285717127Thanks op. Yeah it's one of the highlights of round 1
>>285719541i did notice his first words to meguro weren't "wow you look fucking crazy" but instead "your breathing is heavy".
>>285717252The Cosmo v Akoya fight is a contender too
>>285718192What chink flick is this from?
>>28571993613 reasons why
>>285719774Nta. Did they fix the kuroba captcha?
>>285719212I didn't know the ivory coast was a real place for a long while because my language doesn't have a word for ivory, so we call it the elephant bone coast and I thought it was some fantasy shit
>>285720056Yep. Latest commit.>>285718192Why doesn't she use a gun? Are chink cops supposed to take suspects down with martial arts?
>>285719580I think he's saying that Muteba doesn't kill because he's a mercenary, he's a mercenary because he likes killing
>>285716256It is some jap thing that assassins and people getting paid to kill are different things? Is a translation issue or what? once you planned and killed more than 3 people you are officially a serial killer, doesn't matter if you got paid for it or not
>>285719720Please don't chungusify Meguro the demon.
>>285720194Why 3 instead of 2
>>285716494This is a downscale for Neko-Niko
>>285720196>Meguro the demonI would never "chungusify" Meguro Masaki's dad. Meguro himself is already cute enough.
>>285720119Got a link, friend?
>>285716280Masaki culo
>>285716988Fantastic panel
>>285716379Judo, strong?
>>285720576https://github.com/K1rakishou/Kuroba-ExperimentalYou can just download and install the APK from the latest stable version https://github.com/K1rakishou/Kuroba-Experimental/releases/tag/v1.3.37-releaseIt's not the only solution, I heard Chance also werks? Anyway that's the one I use.
>>285716399In addition to being a judoka, Meguro is heavier than Muteba despire being shorter, so this does look pretty dire
>>285720710Meguro is a fucking gorilla
>>285716731>Sayaka talking about ballshot
>>285717111Goudou!?
>>285717127Thanks OPIt's a good fight
>>285720194The guy who is talking is an assassin. He's clearly trying to distance himself from the obviously homicidal maniac and the guy famous for enjoying participating into brutal conflicts. Professional killers who do their job with detachment considering themselves above basic murderers is hardly a Japanese thing, you can find it basically everywhere. >Dad... I'm a... I'm not a crazed gunman dad, I'm an assassin. Well the difference being ones a job and the other's mental sickness!>Feelings? Look mate, you know who has a lot of feelings? Blokes who bludgeon their wives to death with a gold trophy.>Professionals have standards. Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
>>285716713All the eye gouging should've prepared me for this but it didn't.
>>285716635i forgot just how gruesome this fight wasyou can Muteba's eyes being deformed by the gouge.>>285716654>does he even have a human heartIn Meguro's defense, Muteba started it>>285717374he has 30 years of experience >>285717468"he" is "adapting">>285719720is that supposed to be Rino?
This fight really putting the "guro" in "Meguro"
>>285721097heh
>>285716988Shouldn't the presence of 10000 cheering spectators be interfering with ability to hear/smell his opponent?
>>285720194It's the difference between an Agent 47-style hitman and someone who kills everyone on the block as collateral damage to the target.
>>285721173To be fair they're quite far away.
>>285721173We already had Ohma picking out specific sounds over the crowd's noise, it's not surprising that Muteba can too.
>>285721173no, because of the "cocktail" "party" "effect". we learned about this.
>>285721084It's someone's oc yume ship. I swear I remember there being more of these but this is the only example I could find right now.
>>285721173He can tune it out like Ohma
>>285717981The ref is only there to make it "official". If the fighters ignore his orders, he's not even remotely strong enough to stop them. And even if he was, he wouldn't since billions upon billions of yen are on the line of every match.
>>285721283Bitch must be crazy to have a thing for Meguro
>>285719118Well, if I felt pleasure on the same level as the pain of crushed balls, I'd probably scream and spaz out too.
>>285721348What do you mean? Look at that tongue
>>285719118>>285721384Was this his first "orgasm"?
>>285719580The guy got a boner at the thought of killing someone. Comparing Muteba to an actual assassin is like comparing Raian to his sister.
>>285721348>insane dangerous muscular psycho that would NEVER hurt me / can be controlledi'm pretty sure women are into this, Meguro is just at the extreme end
>>285721394Fair point
>>285721173I think that's what he's saying, he can still function well but the crowd is distracting because he can "see" it too well
>>285721097CARLOOOOS!
>>285721517
>>285719580True, but Muteba kills everyone he is told to kill by his employer and then kills everyone else in the vicinity because he can
>>285721435>The guy got a boner at the thought of killing someonehuh?
>>285721605>kills everyone else in the vicinity because he canDoes he? He didn't kill the crew, he just let them die because the contract didn't specify that he had to protect them. In today's chapters he even says he'll let Meguro live if he gives up but he wasn't paid to kill him.
>>285719541>>285719212I didn't catch it when the manga was being first released. But the obvious thing most people pointed out back then was his eyes being fully whited out. That's a common visual design for a blind character however the story makes sure to keep his "gaze" focused on whatever is going on to fake out the readers. Especially the TV he's shown watching during the earlier matches as the assistant noted >>285716934>>285716966
>>285721643Bottom of >>285693749
>>285716357>collarboneThis must hurt a lot
>>285720196Women can yumeship with whomever they want.
>>285721023Could Sniper/Mundy make it in the KA? His piss style is unfathomable.
>>285721173It just makes him even more impressive. He can pinpoint individual sounds and smells out of a crowd.
>>285716773Who is this random guy and why he gets a tittlecard?
>>285716256>professionals have standards
>>285722368He's not allowed to bring weapons.
>>285722518Because everyone gets a title card. Also we've seen him before, in the chapter where Togo, Rino and Rei were introduced
>>285716315Even the ref got crazed look on his face.
>>285716315Muteba's teeth shining like he's in a toothpaste commercial
>>285722518The chinaman Rei (Sasuke) defeated
>>285716327What do you mean, "what..."? Fucking Rihito sliced people necks with his fingers. Inaba's toes could grab the floor. A strong grip shouldn't be that surprising.
>>285722638I assume generally speaking refs are also decently high T/in shape, not fighters themselves but impressive for regular standards
>>285721756>That's a common visual design for a blind character however the story makes sure to keep his "gaze" focused on whatever is going on to fake out the readersIt's also a visual design for really dangerous almost inhuman characters. I've said before you can absolutely tell how much of a Street Fighter fan Sandro is and there are quite a few SF characters with all white eyes
>>285720206
>>285716494Giganigga actually got his eye? No bullshit?
>>285722700He's never seen Lihito fight
>>285716713AAAIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>285716934Huh, alright. Thought his eyes are weird.
>>285721097"Translators" "note""Me" means "eye"
>>285716966Now, that listening to people's movement through the monitor is just bullshit.
>>285722943Yeah, I can stretch believability and accept that GigaNigga is good enough to see his opponents through smell/sound/air in real life but not the monitor
>>285717127Now this is the kind of crazy fight I'm looking forward to. Thanks OP.
>>285716256Muteba would kill without compensation?
>>285722760You think the refs are those who didn't make the cut to be one of the guards?
>>285721435He's just really horny. Dude leaves a trail of fucked women in his wake.
>>285723133Maybe amateur practitioners. I mean even in real life. Maybe I'm completely wrong but I doubt you'd end up a referee if you didn't practice some kind of sport in the first place
>>285716654Really? Now she questions whether he has a human heart, not after Muteba did it first?
>>285723103He's in for the money but he certainly enjoys the hunt itself. Inaba is a bro compared to that (but still a killer kek)
>>285722760Even the female ref?
>>285723228Girls like to go to the gym and get nice asses and all that shit.
>>285723199Muteba is black so she doesn't consider him human to begin with
>>285716934I don't know, this kind of feels like bullshit. He was always portrayed as being able to see things before.
>>285723282If you go back to reread his previous appearances there's actually a bunch of foreshadowing for it.
>>285723346Maybe but something like sensing Akoya's killer aura through TV is still bullshit
>>285723282It's foreshadowed but also quite exaggerated. It's more "rule of cool" for the sake of this fight between two murder machines than "the big reveal"
>>285723397Yeah I'll give you that one.
>>285718192Kengan isn't inherently a deathmatch so the ref should be stopping matches before a clear deathblow. Though their ability to do that is questionable at best considering Raian vs Mokichi for example.
>>285716473>So powerful that he even carries a knife as a limiter
>>285716713OOOoooofff
>>285717115Femoid post. That or quintessentially never even had friends even as a little booger baby child.
Forgot how brutal this fight was.Also making me remember why I like Muteba so much.
>>285723475Until you call it wrong and cost someone a billion (and that's not even counting the KAT's higher stakes), at which point you're a dead man walking.
>>285722771>It's also a visual design for really dangerous almost inhuman charactersThat had been my original assumption as well>Street FighterIf only Kengan had been popular enough to get even a guest character in a fighting game.
>>285716256The hobbyist amateur serial killer vs the career professional serial killer
is Muteba really a serial killer?he's a paid mercenary
>>285724236Inaba's just being an elitist from a small island
>>285724322I see.Maybe he's just upset Muteba is a better assassin? Since Muteba can assassinate whole groups of armed men on his own, all while being blind.
>>285722940>fighter's name is eyegore>gores eyesBravo Sandro
>>285716494This feels more magical than even a lot of the Niko style stuff.
>muteba destroys meguros ear with his middle finger>he later avoids fully destroying sekibayashis ears by using his thumbs instead
>>285724422It's real at leastMuteba really highlights this idea in fighting of having the capacity to be utterly cruel in a fight and really fucking someone upLike, eye gouges are very effective in a fight but most people don't have it in them to really dig into the eye socket and cause unrecoverable damage, it takes a real creature to do that.
>>285724613I meant the lethal ear jab. I know you can hit the ears but getting that deep just feels like magic.
>>285724593Am I misremembering? I thought Sekibayashi messed up Muteba's ears, not the other way around?
>>285717127Look at that horse neck.
>>285724753it was a two-way street but muteba did it at the end before knocking him out so it's not really elaborated upon
>>285724236Inaba comes from a clan that assassinates out of some ancient feudal duty. Muteba does it because he likes killing people, personally.
>>285718867Lots of the fights have fantastic art (my man Seki) but the finals really take the cake.
>>285718192lmao that gnome is going crazy at the dude
>>285716431God this is brutal in a good way
>>285716452Sticky blood always looks extra gross. The eyeball fluid helps.>>285716494And somehow this looks even more painful
>>285716587Lovely perspective on the middle panel>>285716635Fucking hell
>>285716713AHHHH FUCK
>>285716750No wonder Hayami is confident, he managed to draft Dr Mundo>>285716839You can see him putting his arm out to the side in a partial breakfall maneuver
>>285716934One of the best pages in all of Kengan. Iconic line.
>>285717468Muteba unironically has a lot of powerful Sandro meta knowledge
>>285720196Haven't read the 4komas, I see>>285721084Nah, some crazy chick self inserting for some godforsaken reason
>>285721549Not all the anime girls in this board together could hope to be as smug as this man
>>285716713AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK Not since the Shigurui storytime has a panel caused such a visceral reaction>>285716934Went back through his other appearances, he has indeed had white eyes this whole time and I never noticed. >>285717127This fight is fucking awesome and that reveal was crazy, I knew I liked Muteba for a reason.
>>285719122>>285719212lol the primary language of the DRC is French and Muteba is from the Congo. As an african he grew up knowing the official language + his tribal local languages. Why is this a surprise? It's more surprising he's fluent in nip.
>>285716713I love that you can see the blood flowing down Muteba's hand from it. Those things got proper squished.
>>285722972He was hearing tiny changes in how the announcers were talking and the reactions of the people near him. All humans are unconsciously capable of sensing more than they can consciously understand, and respond through imperceptible changes in tone idk man.
>>285718192GIWTWM
>>285718192This looks cool, what is this?
>>285722972>through smell/sound/air in real lifeYour brain will use coordinates to create a visual image when you are blind, provided you were not born blind. The accuracy of this image is based entirely on how good you are at math to provide accurate coordinates, unironically. You still wouldn't draw for shit though.
>>285724346Muteba is a better everything. He handles offense and defense with great success to the point even the Kure recognize his skill. The only thing I can assume is that Inaba and potentially other assassins frown upon someone that kills to such a scale as Muteba. But it's all still in the name of efficiency and fulfilling the contract.
>>285724716If he can somehow make his finger hard enough, it's possible with enough force. Someone managed to deflect bullets with muscles, so that's the kind of craziness I'm going to put up with.
>>285716379kino blackface
>>285724236>>285726291Given his pre-match boner, Muteba enjoys his job more than an assassin should.
>>285716452How is muteba talking while being choked?
>>285716713Where will he store his pee now?
>>285727141Didn't he say he was pretending to be more affected to get his guard down?
>>285718192They should hire retired fighters to be refs desu.
>>285719936>>285726186It's Shadow's Edge. It's jackie chan's best movie imo and my favorite movie of last year
>>285717127Thanks OP
>>285726291Can't find this in the previous storyline. Link please?
>>285728950see >>285721774
>>285724089I imagine a lot of Fighters died because a Referee would rather that than risk a bad call
>>285716280>>285718554The stomping too. It's like echolocation.
>>285716713>Cuts between members of the audience saying "OOOF">Kazzy squeezing his knees and covering his groin>Jerry: "THAT'S GOTTA HURT!"

>>285727317Thanks
>>285718192Female "fighting" never fails to make me cringe even when I know it's fake.
>>285730356How is it any less fake than the first three fights of Kengan? I don't think you can get any more fake than Raian's muh kure genes ignoring any and all weight classes.
Captain J soon.
>>285716731I love Sayaka's expressions.
>>285729886MY WOWIE ZOWIES
Chapter 73: Fate
>>285737457Really? This comes from the nigga called "the genocider"? The one who went for the eyes first? Sandro's blatant attempt at sockpuppeting certain characters and painting tham as being morally in the right or wrong is already obvious here.
>>285737561>>285737535Cool counter
>>285737779Look at those yaoi hands
>>285737561The fact that this happens again in the Purgatory fight in Omega wasn't lost on me.
>>285737779I kind of hate Muteba actually. He's portrayed as this "cool" gigachad who fucks 500 women or whatever, but he's really just a psycho murderer.
Ohma has been taking a lot of naps lately.
>>285737705Jesus christ this fight was fucking brutal. Which makes it all the more weird when in all the other fights people get injuries that SHOULD kill them instantly and just walk it off after a bit of rest.
>>285737631>>285737650>>285737678>>285737705>>285737731>>285737753>>285737779Absolutely brutal finisher and conclusion to the sad life of Meguro. Also note in contrast to Raian's fight, the audience loves this shit. This was a good death battle and probably the best fight so far.
>>285737843Perfect match for his CEO then.
>>285737788I don't think he is talking about the morality of their moves and more about the fact that meguro is a completely mad freak who is always just mere moments away from losing his shit and killing everything in sight
>>285737779I'm gonna be honest, if this guy survives the tournament it'll be bad writing and I will be disappointed.>>285737877>hypes up his retarded fighter constantly>I-i didn't care at all, alright? It doesn't matter!!!Imense cope.
>>285737788I think the idea is that despite all of his flaws and genuine evilness, Muteba still can enjoy other things in life. Sure he LOVES fighting and killing but he also loves fucking, relaxing ect. Meguro has nothing he only lives to kill and kill and kill, he has no hobbies or interests beyond killing people he has no soul
There is such a thing as being too attached to your characters.
Chapter 74: Juryo
>>285737945literally me (female)
>>285737975It's time for some Pro Wrestling y'all.
>>285737913One was the outcome already determined, and killing an already defeat man were overblowed
>>285737945Cosmo?
>>285737788I'm gonna lay it real clear to you.Kill ten people on the street and they give you jail for life.Kill ten people in a foreign country, act calm and nice and say you did it for duty and your country, they give you a medal.
>>285737705>>285737731>>285737753So, is Muteba a hero?
>>285738135>He’s just a rookieReally going for the balls
>>285737501>>285737535>>285737561>kick into leg throw into kick to the back of the headPretty cool choreography.
>>285737877i really feel like meguro would have done alot better if he didn't had to fight a guy that specialises in killing moves, since his whole gimmick is that you can't really beat him without killing him.
>>285738177He just rid the world of a psychotic murderer. Give him a trophy or something.
>>285737788Eh, Muteba is capable of reasoning, doing his job and forming cordial business relations as a MercenaryMeguro cries blood at the thought of finally killing random people and it kind of fucks up his ability to fight properly>>285737913Raian already won, he didn't need to kill a guy who was only stunning on him for the first half of the fight. Muteba and Meguro were in a sort of mutually agreed "We're trying to kill each other" fight and Muteba didn't drag it out, Meguro was just that tough about it
>>285737975LET'S GOOOOOOO
>>285738247Doesn't mean much when every other fighter is a certified assassin or at least has a killing move like Rihito
>>285738276>>285738304>jobber smileaiiieeee
>>285738276>>285738304>My kickboxing is sure to win>>285738324>HOWEVER

>>28573838910/10 Spread. They really pulled out all the stops for this fight as new readers will soon see.
>>285738181>>285738214>>285738242This came out before Baki Dou Sumo, right?
DONEI'll leave the Street Fighter crossover for tomorrow
>>285738454>cant win any matches for medidn't Haru win him matches before though?
>>285738495>Sekiincoming KINO fight alert...
>>285738439cute backpackPoor Haruo.>>285738516Don't you see his CEO? He's comically ugly, which means he is both dumb and a bad person.
>>285738495This week is going to start off really well.
>>285738556>comically ugly, means he's dumb and a bad personkekimagine if Wakatsuki's CEO had abandoned him after his first lost
>>285738462yeah this volume is from 2014, bakidou is 2019
>>285738495Thank you OP!
>>285738135It's really nice to see them give face to each other, despite the newbie ruining everything. Omega lacks the part where Asura was wish fullfilment porn for salarymen.
>>285737731Genuinely cool send off
>>285738495What a fucking legend
>>285738247Or at least the guy he fought had some clothes on him. Muteba really was his clear counter in this tourney
>>285737823>I mean, you haven't killed anyone yet, have you!!?HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>285737960>he is amazing, top 5 guys in the kenganAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>285738417Cute brother and sister.
>>285737877Was Meguro's "pain is pleasure" thing something he always had, or was that specific part something that came from Hayami's "alterations"? Because Meguro really seemed to defend himself more in his flashback whereas now he just face-tanks everything. What I'm asking is, did the brain alterations actually make him WORSE at fighting?
>>285738087>Yokozuna is the top rank in sumo, only obtainable by coming in first place in 2 consecutive tournaments, a position maintained by continuing to come in first>there are somehow 2 yokozunas at the same timeAm I misunderstanding something?
>>285737561I fucking hate this bullshit. No you can't strike someone while you're being thrown that's stupid.>>285737945Like how cold Takeru is towards the secretary, and how focused he's on the match.
>>285738715One of the things that makes Asura work is that there's a lot of implied history and familiarity between the characters and the world. I fully get that sports journalism is going to have a lot of recurring faces, and even moreso for a sport as niche as Sumo so of course the brothers know all the major outlets and the reporters sent to this event. Same is honestly true for how the CEOs and other company members interact. >>285737908>>285737927>>285737945>>285738417These pages tell so much about how Takeru and Juzo relate to each other. How both of them treat Sakura, and even how they don't really hold anything against other corporations since they encourage Sakura to go see her sister. It's nothing extravagant but the story is pretty good at giving us simple snippets of how this world fits together. Omega lost that entirely after the 50th chapter and it kills the ability for characters to feel like actual humans.
>>285737478H-hayai!
>>285737731>>285737753Explain why Hanafusa wouldn't be able to bring him back to life
>>285738109Really weird how the bottom panel looks as if both characters were painted on flat boards.
>>285739467The spirits took his soul
>>285739467Cervical vertebraeus
>>285737823>>28573784610 years later and we still haven't seen this fight btw
>>285738247In a better world he would've fought Cosmo on R1
>>285739386Yes, the fact none of these two is from Mongolia
>>285738516This CEO is clearly one of those "you're only useful if you're undefeated" types.
>>285737877Two?Who's the rat?
>>285739386Maybe they didn't participate in the same tournaments.
>>285737561But thats... not possible... and then in omega.... Ah fuck it
>>285739190>What I'm asking is, did the brain alterations actually make him WORSE at fighting?Yes. Feeling pain helps you to acknowledge, react and protect yourself from danger. If your pain receptors aren't properly acknowledging the damage dealt then you won't know the full extent of the wounds you've received, you won't be guarding yourself like you should be and the wounds will only get worseMeguro was already insane but the alterations basically made him lack any sense of self-preservation at all. So instead of acknowledging his severe eye gouge wound and guarding it he leaves it out for Muteba to pierce a second time Hayami is an idiot and this whole fight showed off why "I feel not pain" "Terminator" type fighters always end up getting mogged down the line. They may not feel as much pain but they're still taking damage
>>285737535>the centrifugal force making blood shoot from his eye holesFucking sick nasty
>>285737804>moralfag out of nowhere
>>285738070Is it time for the legally mandated sumowank at the cost of Seki?
>>285738389>i'm supposed to believe this guy is the same age as Cosmo
>>285739514we havent even seen why it happened.
>>285738341>Saying "KWAB" irl>All that self hex
>>285738495Sick page
>>285739674He's talking about Ren I think.
>>285737788I think it's more the part where he's a raving insane wild animal
>>285737478>they both exploded
>>285737561He got gamer neck
>>285737913Meguro was less sympathetic to the audience than Mokichi I guess
>>285737753You know that hole is still warm...
>>285737843Those aren't mutually exclusive
>>285737877>fucks up another part of his plan>"a-all according to keikaku haha..."
>>285738495One of the best ENTER pages of the manga.
>>285737945ENTER space cadet
>>285738324I know it's supposed to be a shoulder but that looks so much like a butt to me in the bottom panel
>>285738417>perpetually in the purgatory halls backroomsSad life
>>285738036For those who don't understand Sumo rankings, Juryo is the division before Makuuchi, which is the top division.>>285739386There can be up to 4 Yokozuna, its happened twice in the past 20 years. Yokozuna don't drop in rank, You either win enough matches or the association forces you to retire
>>285738417Cute directional retard
>>285738495Thanks anon. Seki pages are always a treat
>>285738495Thanks op. Time for Sekino
>>285723280Based Sayaka
>>285738417>reversed the order of entrancesLiterally a Hulk Hogan bit kek, I guess Seki's also a master in the art of backstage politics
>>285739921There’s something in there about le electricity man being fine with one circuit shorting cuz of setting things up in parallel or something
>>285739979Remind me, isn't there also a moral component or something to being a yokozuna? Can you be prevented from being a yokozuna because you're a degenerate bastard even if you win a lot?
>>285740068Electricity man has a few short circuits in his brain all right
>>285737788Muteba still sees himself as a warrior. It’s not sock puppeting. The whole point of putting these two against each other was to achieve this inversion between them during the fight.
>>285737945This is who Wakatsuki was hanging out with off-screen?
>>285740121>hanging outThat's one way to put it
>>285738495Thanks anon, fight rating: 8/10. Nice Anime version: https://youtu.be/p7eYYJ6HrJU?si=DFTGqFxU4fmJGFMP
>>285737960Fighters that are probably stronger than Seki she knows>Agito, Waka, Julius, HatsumiDebatable>Saw Paing, Cosmo, AkoyaNewcomers she lacks data about>Muteba, Raian, Bando, Okubo, Kuroki, Rei, Gaolang, Kiryu, OhmaI guess her top 5 isn't that far off based on what she knows
>>285739467He's dead.
>>285739787This dude is the poster child of self hexing
>>285737753All dailies
>>285740080Technically, but the way it works out is that they give them the position because they want to sell more tickets, (More Yokozuna, more popularity) and then they'll kick you out if you start fucking up while being Yokozuna.Asashoryu was forced to retire after beating up a restaurant worker, but before that he used an injury as an excuse to skip a basho and play in a charity soccer tournament, and only got suspended for two tournaments.
>>285739688>They may not feel as much pain but they're still taking damageAnd we already had this kind of fighter as this was the kind of person Shark Teeth employs as her main fighter prior to him getting crippled and Muteba being hired. Not feeling pain is just a loser flag all around.
>>285740302Especially in a tournament setting where damage accumulating with every match is a factor.
>>285737631>>285737650Can you break someone's neck in this specific way?
>>285737788You're right. Muteba enjoys the act of killing, for him to start fagging out about humanity is silly.
>>285738276Is that Murobuchi on the sprinter's side?
>>285737877>20 years of investment and he dies in his first fightCope and seethe.
I haven't complained about Omega yet in this storytime so I'll make this my and only.How do you go from >>285737535 to fights being two characters standing in front of each other with their limbs occasionally turning into motion lines?How do you go from >>285738417 to the main characters, let alone the secondary ones, displaying no personality whatsoever?How do you go from having a coherent plot to Omega's ramblings of a schizophrenic?
>>285739403You can see his right leg lined up to kick him in the previous page manThe throw golem just fucked up
>>285737975This is one of the best fights in Kengan, for sure. Pure kino.
>>285740434Looks like it.>>285740530It's also a thing that has actually happened in professional fights.
>>285740434Yeah
>>285738242>talk shit once you've actually proven yourselfI like this jobber.
>>285740477They got complacent, distracted and worst of all contemptful of the series that put them on the map. Simply put, they don't love Kengan anymore
>>285738389I've always liked this guy. One of the most fun Kengan fighters for sure.
>>285738389Really good theme. The part at 2:20 was tickling my brain for a while with how familiar it sounded. I think it's reminding me of the chorus of What Else is Therehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADBKdSCbmiM
>>285740477Omega is a cash grab to be milked for as long as humanly able They might have had something to say early on when Koga was still relevant but whatever trace of that there was is long gone
>>285737788>the character who just had a chunk his forearm BITTEN OFF is mad at the aggressor and calling him an animal? god, I can just FEEL the author painting him as morally righteousI think you're retarded
>>285740589>It's also a thing that has actually happened in professional fights.Wait a minute, do you have a video of it happening? This can't be right, I'm certain you'd lack the necessary force if you struck during a throw.
>>285740823I vaguely remember one getting posted during Omega when Gaolang also fucked with a throw with a blow to the back of the head.
>>285737843He was portrayed as a mass murderer with no regard for human life who kills people for money and also fucks a bunch of women who were paid to sleep with him. If you think that qualifies as "cool gigachad" that's on you.
>>2857401868.5/10 from me. I can talk shit about anime but I think they really made Meguro unsettling. His uncanny model mixed with his theme is genuinely scary imho
>>285737961why would it be bad writing if he lives? as far as I can tell he wasn't even seriously injured
>>285737779The right guy won
>>285737843banging prostitutes is not cool, anyone can do it
>>285738070>>285738087I have to admit, the final Kanji of his name doesn't match up (Ken vs. Zeki), but are these the same guy? I mean, "zeki" is just a sumo top-tier honorific, and they ARE calling him "Ryouzan," and he DOES look exactly the same...龍王山 堅 (りゅうおうざん けん)vs龍王山 関 (りゅうおうざん ぜき )
>>285741216When will you stop your relentless shilling? It's beyond pathetic already.>>285740898Ah what a shame, it would've been a true surprise.
>>285741448>When will you stop your relentless shilling? It's beyond pathetic already.Hopefully never, I'm enjoying the cameos and he's making me want to finally read Dumbells. Stay mad bitch
>>285738160>GO-1 Grand PrixHe likes his references. Their tourney was "kickboxing" regulations, too.
>>285741500>he's making me want to finally read DumbellsPathetic faggot, wagging your tail when you haven't even tried it yet. Fuck damberu for being just another low-effort cashgrab from sandro, and fuck his insufferable cameos and self-fellating references, when he can't even keep a single storyline coherent. Like every one of us, you'll try reading a few chapters before realizing it's just not worth it.
>>285739403>I fucking hate this bullshit. No you can't strike someone while you're being thrown that's stupid.Oh, but the guy that can cut you with his fingers, and the 300kg guy throwing triple backflips, and the guy who can control his hair like tentacles are fine? Striking someone from a weird position is the least bullshit thing we've seen so far.
>>285737608Devil Lance: Forma de Africano
>>285741584you sound insane
>>285727317Thank you
>>285737705Incredibly brutal. Good shit.>>285737731>>285737753>>285737779Excellent ending. I had forgotten about most of this fight, it really is one of the best of R1
>>285738417>"Sakura">puffy cheeks>overeats>no sense of direction>familial with Takeshi Wakatsuki, the superhuman powerhouseSeems FAMILIAR...
>>285737788They were trying to kill each other, but one is a mercenary who kills for a living and the other is an insane psychopath who can barely stop himself from murdering everyone he sees.
>>285737788Obsessed
>>285737975Fuck yeah, this is my favorite R1 fight. Can't wait.
>>285741584>Like every one of usOmega really got to anon. He's started thinking he's multiple people...
>>285742008Meanwhile in reality, there's at least two of us that wish Danberu got more chapters.
>>285741584you really need to start coming up with new material, omegaschizo >>285474295
>>285741216You are a noble anon and your Danberu posts are most welcome.
>>285738214His belly is bizarre
>>285741584Not that Anon, but Dumbbells is legitimately good. Both art and story as the slice of life cute girls health comic that it is. When Doga Kobo adapted it for anime, that was top notch.You sound really bitter Dumbbells was better than Omega.
>>285741448>anything I don't like is pathetic>>285741584>anyone who I don't like is a faggotMost sane Kenganposter
>>285738389Sick ass entrance
>>285742033Make that three!
>>285742008How foolish. I'm the only "me" we need
>>285738495ENTER MY FUCKING GOAT
>>285741876>Superb.heh
>>285742033>>285742195I'm shouting as four. We haven't gotten new chapters in over a year, but Sandro still hasn't claimed he's ended it, yet. Plus, I'd love another season for the anime, too. Doga Kobo was a huge blessing, that was fantastic.
>>285741448Starting Danberu because of this post
>>285741584>another low-effort cashgrabSandro wholeheartedly loves Danberu, unironically. It's also not low effort with how much research he needed to do for the topics the manga talks about, and the artist isn't Daro.You are just mad, or maybe a closet homosexual or something, considering your one word spam.
>>285742150Ok. That image made me laugh. Rare for a Kengan thread these days; thank you.
>>285742345Sandro used to be an author who loved his hobbies AND his job. Danberu was a blast, I'm glad he wrote it, even despite being bi-monthly.
>>285742306>webmI wish women were real...
>Yo! Welcome to "Corsten's Countdown #5" with me, Ferry Corsten; thanks for tuning in!>Last week's show has received a lot of great response, and the first "Corsten's Top 10" turned out to be an amazing tracklist, all thanks to you guys!!>Again, this week, I have selected some awesome tunes like the new Ronski Speed with Stoneface & Terminal, a wicked bootleg of Fatboy Slim, and Tiësto who teams up with BT!>But, enough talk for now!

>>285739190He became worse at fighting by receiving a gimmick.Gimmick fighters are always jobbers.
>>285737561This has happened 3 times now
>>285737788mate R3ddit is that way
>>285741584I'm reading Dumbells right now just to spite you and it's actually pretty great
>>285738417>Sekibayashi asked to come out secondIs this a hex?
>>285741448What's the problem with anon pointing out when an obscure kengan character appears in danberu? I think it's neat.
>>285737753Meguro TANKS this and is secretly alive btw. Sandro just hasn't revealed that yet.
>>285740186I don't really like how the cut out some bits of the fight. Like the stuff around the arm bite, it really streamlines it.7/10
