>telepathy out of nowhere
>>286075332WHY IS HE BLUSHING???!
>>286075234i don't really get how he doged after getting hit i mean we even got an impact panel, or did he just go limp
>>286075463Flat Kuroki.
>>286075353>>286075364>>286075379>>286075392Cool sequence
Chapter 98: Actor
>>286075262how? i mean the shock wave already started to travel through his body
>>286075535>knife on his beltHmmmmmmmmmm
>>286075348>technique is named lastditchits already over
https://youtu.be/MEVEjokn238?si=3pWE5jpZ4Y1g6DIo
>>286075451does he actually want to have sex with ohma i thought his goal was for ohma to kill him
>>286075262>>286075274>>286075283>>286075348I really love how Kiryus hair becomes such a strong part of his silhouette when he's moving like this.>>286075463Mind your jobber flags Kuroki, those are dangerous words.
>>286075647why do chibas feet look like that?
>>286075234>SHIYAAAAAAAAOh no
https://youtu.be/TdBDF5bgiOM?si=1jkN4Yt7c5n_wKPb
DONERen just got a shitty matchup, against the MC's fated rival.
>>286075733look at aki idk why but he looks really fun probably his stance
>>286075664>>286075684>>286075706I like this guy since the moment i saw the anime
>>286075813>becoomer
>>286075353>>286075364This move is so intimate that you'd think Setsuna would save it to use on Ohma.
>>286075631>Wakatsuki-oniichan!>And my sis, Sakura!>Takeshi found me while I was lost, so he's been guarding me, like always.>Sounds like him, thanks, bro-in-law!>"I wonder how my nephew and niece are doing?"
I made this after last thread
>>286075813I dunno. Ren seems a bit grounded compared to some of the other fighters in the tournament.I've not sure who he actually beats.
>>286075234>>286075249Was that an illusion or did he nullify the damage after he got hit?
>>286075910He should beat non-martial artists like Adam and Karo, otherwise 4000 years aren't worth shit
>>286075262It's funny that the ability he's using here isn't explained until some of the last chapters
>>286075297Is every form of aikido the fucking niko style now?
>>286075549All those quotes
>>286075392He fucking survives this
>>286075626They're one and the same in his mind
>>286075567>You can come in if you're a girl.Is Himuro the only guy with rizz in the whole tourney?
>>286075647Mirin
>>286075476Motherfucker your heart got squeezed like a lemon
>>286075603>round girl's rain jacket has ears toocute.
>>286075519Cute degenerate gambler
>>286075297I can't tell the difference between Redirection Kata stuff and generic Aikido, Kazzy. Gimme a break.
>>286076093Does Muteba count?
>>286076058That's literally the Niko style.
>>286075603I love how into it Sayaka is
>>286075910>ren>groundedhe uses fucking magic
>>286075631Hatsumi isn't beating the allegations
>>286075392Looks fine, the heart is still intact. The wizard doctor should be able to fix it.
>>286075647>nice gains brah
>>286075721Add another one to the knife user Ls
>>286075519>Bet on MeguroGood taste, bad choice
>>286075200>>286075218actually cool use of "scarequote" for "sin" and "jin">>286075353You never realize just how big Kiryu actually is until you see him next to other characters.>>286075476but somehow Meguro couldn't survive a little brain damage.
>>286076166No wonder she's friends with Saw
>>286075379Kek, what a BITCH
>>286075966He's cocky and if either of them managed to land a solid hit on him he's pretty fucked. He can't tank hits like Saw
>>286075483maybe he's embarassed
>>286075451>telepathyThey exchanged blows once, that's enough. If you're a man, you should know what the others are thinking after striking each other once. I don't think you'll make it in the tournament, OP.
>>286075813Thanks opMy least favorite fighter
>>286075833His face, his name, and that hat remind me of someone.
>>286075476They don't even need the magic doctor.
>>286076262To be fair she's friends with everyone.
>>286075616One of my favorite fighters and holy fucking guitar solo.
>>286075519From my experience, you should know when to tap out.
>>286075353>>286075364>twink on twink rapeh-hot
>>286076296Wonder how he'd fare in the KAT. On the one hand, he's not nearly as physically OP and fighters have ways to disable him to the point that he can't fight, but on the other hand since he can sneak anything he can get past the guards into the arena I feel like he'd do some crazy shit like surgically pack C4 into his stomach or whatever
>>286075353Don't worry, you're not Ohma so your rear end is safe.
>>286075379>I sur RenWhat did he mean by that
>>286076401From my experience, its life ruining but it wasn't me with the problem, it was a family member
>>286075706I can't even remember where this guy first shows up.
>>286076401My grandma would sometimes buy me a few scratch tickets when I went shopping with her and her rule was that if you win anything you run the fuck away from the shop
>>286075813Thanks for dumping.
>>286076523He watches Kaneda's shogi matches and offers to play to Kazzy and Okubo
>>286075379nigga really did the:
>>286075813Thanks opThis guy is the weakest in the tournament IIRC. A tactical retard that can only copy.
>>286076608His design changed a lot, it's throwing me off.
>>286076608god its weird how much the art changed over the first 50 chapters and how its always jarring
>>286076523I assume he's in the ENTERRRRRR chapter along with everyone else but I can't remember what he does there or can be bothered finding it. I guess that's a kind of meta joke about him being a faceless man? Maybe he's been in the background of a bunch of panels in disguise.
>>286075499>Yun and YangBased. WHOOOAAAAA GAYASIANS
>>2860763304000 years of traditional chinese medicine…
>>286075684Alright, that's actually magic. They better have solid explanation for it later.
>>286075910>>286075966I would add Rihito, Nezu, and Saw Pang. Remember Ren fought most of this match essentially 1 armed, and most of the fighters aren't capable of that, and their stupidity means they would fall for his gimmick explosion + hypnosis.Yeah its cheating to include Nezu since we never see what he's really capable of, but I feel like most of the fighters can at least survive 1 hit from Rei.
>>286076401Anything less than 'I can retire on that' isn't worth tapping out on.
>>286076653This tournament's Terashi.
>>286075249>>286075262He is using water and Redirection.
>>286075631>>286075647Wakatsuki makes a good point here about how there's no way Hatsumi would have those gains if he wasn't sticking to an hours-long regimen every single day. For a supposed lazy fuck he's been locked in for a while now.
>>286077114While you were out playing with girls and getting dates, he was flipping logs!
>>286076608>Kaneda's shogi matches
>>286076653No, he's legitimately powerful. His main weakness is based on strategy. He has a habit of challenging people in their own wheelhouse.
>>286075664>>286075684>>286075706willy wonka reference?
>>286075321This guy has a whole posse?
A guy named Nikaido Ren just won a silver medal earlier today. What are the odds?
>>286075491Ren getting all hyped up by his groupies and basically walking into a buzzsaw is one of the funniest jokes in Kengan
>>286075903alright, that a kek out of me
>>286075903Lel
>>286076934Based
>>286076494>he'd do some crazy shit like surgically pack C4 into his stomach or whateverHanafusa would fucking lose it.
>>286076058 The Niko style is like 70% Aikido, 25% "loldidn'thurt" Adamantine and then 5% everything else >>286075476Ren surviving getting his heart twisted is inconceivable >>286075910Ren is beating most of the R1 jobbers. The only person in the current roster of R1 jobbers that would give Ren a hard time is Haruo and Inaba
>>286079525Meguro would pulp him I believe.
>>286075813What martial art makes your face turn into that?
>>286075910He's the Mokujin type character.
>>286075463How many fucking dark horses are in this tournament?
>>286075519Could Akagi Shigeru have taken her?
>>286080549 Only Kuroki, everyone else is a shmuck who sometimes got to look good before jobbing next match
Ok so Nikaido lost to Setsuna.But can he defeat 5 Setsunas?
>new CC chapter actually out this earlyI'm very surprised. Doesn't look good for EC narratively.
>>286076494Dude won't enter the tournament but he'll start something like the convict arc in Baki.
>>286075903heh
>>286075451Telepathy kata.
>>286075643Based on his fight with Lihito, I have a theory that Kuroki has a unique passive ability to be powered up by jobber hexes instead of being weakened.
>>286076494He'd probably kill a shitload of CEOs and world leaders for the sake of attracting maximum aggro.
>>286075721Knife count: 8Knife users winning count: 1
>>286076494So far, the only fighter who's killed someone has been Muteba. Against anyone else, immortality is barely beneficial.I guess he could at least afford to go all out every fight without regard for injuries, and just kill himself afterwards to be fully refreshed for the next match.Doesn't really make up for everyone else being way more superhuman than he is.
>>286075418>Pretty boy showdown Uhhh referee?
>>286075631>she doesn't know what "grown up games" meanI'm calling bullshit. She definitely gets around.
>>286075631She clearly knows, Himuro was already there.
>>286076494>summons his IBMForget his immortality, that's his real busted weapon right there.
>>286075647Replaced his pinky toe with his pinky finger
>>286082389Nah, her half bro probably beats and maims anyone who's about to get that far with her
>>286082389>I'm calling bullshit. She definitely gets aroundDid you forget that she has an borderline psychotic sis con of a brother
>>286075218The Anon who asked about what "fa jin" is and how it seems like just a heavy punch, I can answer it. Essentially, asian bing bang wahoo is about moving your internal energy around in your body to enhance everything you do "hollistically". Fa Jin is weaponizing this to its logical conclusion with the strongest and fastest hit you can do, it is usually a punch but it could also be a kick. The important part is to explossively unleash a single devestating blow you primed up.Just an aside.Have you ever felt a tingly sensation inside you and a vague feeling you could move it around somehow but you just don't know how? That is internal energy. It isn't entirely mumbo jumbo but the effects are more mental then physical irl.
>>286075499>just like ohma and sawada's analyses, he was definitely powerful but he was just outmatched>I wanted to develop the story in a way where he could show his strength more, but it ended up like thisIt isn't nearly as offensive in this context like most early formative Sandroisms, but shit like this is word for word the same stuff he says in the Omega villain bios kek
>>286044151>if the first two steps work, your opponent is now paralyzed>instead of going for a killing move, just give him your best body shot and hope that's enoughI cannot comprehend the superior wisdom of China's 4000 years.
>>286080982I'm wondering if he'll die or just find a way to sleep
>>286084385Anon, if you make your trump card a sure kill move it's going to job constantly. That's the rule of shonen. If he tried adding necksnaps or what have you to the move every other participant would instantly have been practicing counters to that sort of move for years.
>>286075549This is probably one of the most egregious quotations pages along with Ohma and Sen's meeting and Nezu facing off with Rei.
>>286075353Our battle has just begu- AXED
>>286075418This dude dead bro
>>286075567 Actually, wouldn't it be better for hatsumi to fight here instead of forcing a forfeit so he could build up tempo?
>>286075616ENTER my favorite epithet
>>286075664>>286075684>>286075706genuinely why did he do this
>>286086042Aurafarming
>>286075483He wasnt expecting to feel that way in that position
>>286081852Dying resets exhaustion right? Guess he could kill himself for a cheat
>>286086042If you could fuck with people like that you'd do it all the time too, don't lie.
>>286086042it's an actor thing, you wouldn't get it
NEW CONVICT COLOSSEUM CHAPTER COME ON GET YOUR "TIMINGS RIGHT"
>>286086574"we" already know about that.My favorite the Scourge of British Columbia shows up!
>>286086042He was playing mind games from the start to hype up his ability to Sen.
>>286084943He can't even sleep anymore so I think he'll just die or Pete finds a way to win without killing him and will ask for his prize to find someone that can actually kill EC.
>>286075418Cute Anna.
>>286075519You have no idea how badly I want to be there when she ends up losing it all and falls back into despair.
>>286075392characters that should have died to increase the stakes of this DEATH tournament count: 2
>>286075549What kinda epitaph is "The Count"?
>>286088332It would be pretty good if you're a vampire.
>>286088332It's perfect for disgraced fishermen put in jail over false accusations planning an overly elaborate revenge with their newfound wealth.
>>286075813Thanks OP, fight rating: 6/10 another job-festAnime version: https://youtu.be/GkGmVe_be5I?si=n2bujsYRRZPmBHzF
>used his sissy hypno technique on a blatant homosexual >the gay guy becomes even stronger Nikaido really used the worst strat possible against the only schizo that would get boosted from it.
>>286088471idgi
>>286088676It's a French joke.
>>286076113You know what they say, when life gives you a lemon heart, you make heart lemonade.
>>286076608It's like he "became" a different person entirely.
>>286075519uh oh
>>286088218Kiryu is a wholesome chungus like most Kenganvengers
>>286075616I like lazy strong characters.
>>286089454Shikamaruchads...
>>286089483Shikamaru is nothing without his conveniently located magic forest of deer sentinels
>>286089588I dont take anything from Shippuden onwards as canon.
>>286075200>I'm the joker, baby
>>286086042Probably like Seki going second while sporting a hairstyle mocking sumo. Pre battle mind games.
>>286075603SEX WITH SAYAKA
>>286075283I remember when I first saw this scene I thought that Ren swearing in Chinese was him trying to hypnotize Kiryu again
>>286082286That was Sayaka
I don't get why this manga is so afraid of killing off their characters. The Chinese twink and that Christian guy barely do anything relevant after their matches, you could've easily had them eye to raise the stakes of the story.
>>286089483Nah, Shikamaru is one of the worst "lazy" characters, and the plot bends to make him look good.
>>286089222baba IS unfathomable
>>286088471Was Edmond a fisherman? I thought he was a merchant sailor.
>>286090598I think Sandro just gets attached.
Captain J soon.
>>286090598If Mokichi died Raian would look badFor Meguro there was no future so Muteba did a good deedThe Kengan Association was wholesome chungus from the start
>>286091424Raian actually intended to save Mokichi. You see, he had a tumor in his neck and he secretly used a Kure technique that not even Erioh noticed to terminate it.
>>286082645Oh yeah fucking forgot he has that lmao
>>286088471>>286091206That anon is correct, Dantes was a sailor, Fernand was the fisherman.
>>286090598>you could've easily had them eye*die
>>286082612Himuro having sex with Sayaka is pure headcanon, she is still pure.
>>286081852You can kill yourself mid fight though. Or take a punch in a way that it's lethal.His respawn timer is pretty short so they may let the match continue.But yeah IBM gg.
>>286091398Does using that not carry the same penalty as a knoife?
>>286075332You're gonna make him cry, Kiryu
>>286075379>>286075392>>286075418Jesus. In a way, this was a more brutally one-sided domination than Kuroki vs Rihito or Raian vs Mokichi.
>>286075519Keep gambling -- Kaiji
>>286075616>awful record (for KAT standards) but absurd assets gainedNice detail
>>286075733Takero has Golden Kamui eyes
>>286090598>>286091424Sandro has always been an insufferable chungus faggot. He had no business writing a manga about bloodsports.
>>286091424>If Mokichi died Raian would look badRaian looks bad already. I think the real reason Mokichi survived is because he is a "good" character and Sandro isn't really about to kill someone like that just for shock value.
>>286075519wait a minute, how the fuck did she win 14 million on the rei match? was nezu actually favored?
>>286094709I'm not usually to argue about muh steaks but brutal underground fighting matches is THE setting to have some "good" character die as an establishing moment and Mokichi isn't popular enough for it to be a risky move so Sandro's reluctance is kinda baffling. Even WSJ manga caught on by now.
>>286095234If it's parimutuel betting then I could see the slackjawed peasants in the audience overwhelmingly favoring Nezu since he has a massive weight/reach advantage
>>286095234Always bet on The Mouse
>>286095616It's just pool betting anon, this isn't a battle royale
>>286091647
>>286095616Rei was a complete unknown random. Nezu had a reputation as the "Agito" of another promotion. Rei did flatten Hong very easily but Hong's hype was that he only lost to Agito, but we know nothing of the people he defeated. He even had a good entrance with that kick of his.
>>286075616ENTER DA GOAT
>>286075813BECOMER.........
>>286095435>but brutal underground fighting matches is THE setting to have some "good" character die as an establishing momentIf you are going to say that Mokichi isn't popular enough, you also have to admit that his death wouldn't have mattered either. Nothing about killing Mokichi changes what we know about Raian. This is the guy who ambushed someone at the pisser just to get a pre-fight warmup and devastated an opponent who had already lost by slamming them onto their already broken neck.I'd argue the same applies to the most recent fight between Ren and Setsuna. We already know Sets is willing and able to kill someone without thought. But does killing Ren do anything more to change that perception or make it more impactful? Not really. I don't think Sandrovich doesn't "get it". I just think he realized that he doesn't need to keep killing characters to make an already obvious point and who knows, maybe these characters get to do something later down the line. Ren does in this series and Mokichi does in the next. So it's not a loss overall
>>286097931It would reduce character bloat and help make the setting feel as gritty as it is protrayed to be.
>>286098101>It would reduce character bloatHow is there bloat when characters like Mokichi are effectively written out of the story beyond existing on a hospital bed? >and help make the setting feel as gritty as it is protrayed to be.Kengan hasn't been gritty like it was at the start much like it's art style changed anon. One of the main reasons I can see for killing Meguro beyond establishing Muteba's style, is simply to keep a guy who would still be a threat from running around in the background. Because even without an eye and with a brain injury from the ear, Meguro would still be good for a fight. That's an efficient usage of character death.
>>286097931>If you are going to say that Mokichi isn't popular enough, you also have to admit that his death wouldn't have mattered either.It would matter in a sense that we'd have a guy die when he didn't really deserve it because that's the way the cookie crumbles in this business. So far the only guy who died is conveniently a psycho murderer who was barely a human at that point.
>>286098329I legitimately believe that most people in favor of Mokichi dying would later complain about Elena still being Karla's friend and crying about her dead sibling every chance she gets. Because that's the consequence of killing Mokichi beyond "muh steaks". Either Elena and karla have to have some kind of sub-plot exploring that or the story tries it's best to gloss over it without impeding the main focus of the narrative which is the tourney.
>>286098551>Either Elena and karla have to have some kind of sub-plot exploring thatYes, that would be good.
>>286098551You have a good point here and that's why I'm not hung up about Mokichi specifically, it's just he's the one who happened to "die". What's annoying is that this trend continues with Nikaido, Hanafusa, Bando and Kiryu even though you can probably justify each individual case. Funny how KvP had more people die despite the no killing rule.
Never read Kengan Asura, why does a third of the male cast look hot
>>286098794It's not like I don't see the other side either. Even when we have the Gaolang/Agito fight, when it's brought up that Agito has a history of killing his opponents I'm not exactly sold it matters to that fight because the tournament overall has more people survive fatal encounters than not. And the final blow wasn't even something I think would kill anyone nor was there an obvious move to finish off Gaolang. I get that some teeth are lost because of how often people survive seemingly life-ending injuries, but I also don't know to what extent it matters beyond minor stuff like the above moment after the GvA fight.
>>286075754imagine being a boat jobber and not getting hired for anything, just chilling on the island while the tournament goes on
>>286098794Speaking of Omega now THAT series needed some of the heroes dying, as it stands now there aren't any stakes especially once the Worm stopped being actual dangerous terrorists. Christ they should have gone all in on GI Joe bullshit maybe they'd have more fun making the manga
>>286098930Something awakened in Daro around this point in the manga
>>286099513Fucking worth it. I mean depending on the ass beating you received you might just get away with a "minor" TBI then receive a week long all expenses paid trip with all the booze, food and hookers you can handle in a tropical paradise while also watching the best goddamn MMA matches while rubbing shoulders with the rich and powerful
>>286095234She might have bet a lot more than she did on the other matches
>>286098930That might just be you
>>286075535>>286075549>>286075721>>286075733"the Count" is the "best" side character of "round one". Nothing you say will "prove" me "wrong".
>>286075549Should've said>You can "count" on me, Mr. Nogi
I remember watching/reading this series years ago and remembering that the Julius guy was wearing briefs in the manga while netflix changed it to trunks. Is this mandela? Or am I thinking of another character?
>>286091424Meguro had a future... I could've saved him...
>>286100905I think you're getting mixed up with Omega, he wears trunks the entire KAT but briefs in Omega
>>286101743He wears briefs in Ashura extras too, go figure
>>286090598Sandro can't drop characters.To not spoil anything of Kengan, in Strike it Rich an assassin girl that's done basically nothing on her two appearances is now back after clearly entering the bus, and still doing nothing outside looking sexy.
>>286102136Wait is Fusi in Strike it Rich she absolutely mogs Karla and unironically has more chemistry with Ohma despite being on page with him ONCE, hell she even got her own cover
>>286102357Also Strike it Rich would have been the perfect time for Sandro to use Karla, she's fucking USELESS in Kenga but is supposed to be a fighter also, dude has two all girl fight manga and reuses a lot of characters but refused to use a character logically
>>286102357Nah, it's a SiR character, she tries to assassinate someone and fails, then is tasked to investigate the main mystery of the series and fails also, then leaves. But now she's back as a bunny girl.
>>286100905>>286101743>>286102124
>>286102604I guess he was in a briefs kinda mood that day
>>286102540Lame you'd think with all these useless side characters yet an entire expanded universe around the main series Sandro would shuffle characters around and actually use them but I guess my expectations were too high
>>286075332You know if Setsuna was a cute girl I'd love being Nikaido
>>286075321kinda hot
>>286075813Thank you for posting.>>286075903Good.
>>286076200...of him being a heterosexual male.
>>286106785>Good.

>>286109982This dude is the ultimate "would get obliterated in the second round" character
>>286110314OH so he is the fat fuck from the first chapterThe artstyle changed so much I barely recognised him
DONEChiba could be a fun mirror character in a kengan fighting game.
Isn't Chiba the ultimate fighter? He's "Chiba" but he's also "me", and of course, "(you)"
>>286109924Oh boy, I can already see this guy losing in a humiliating fashion.
>>286110373Thank you for posting OP!I will now post the bonus stuff!
>>286110479
>>286109878Weird-ass-looking Chiba in the last panel>>286109904Weird-ass-pre-art-shift Chiba in the last panel
>>286110373>DoneI kinda want to ask if you can clear out the fight today if it's just one more chapter. 2 days into a cliffhanger for the 3rd is a bit much. Especially considering how Chiba is going to get laid out like a bitch so we can get into an actually fun fight with Bando and Hanafusa.
>>286109823>Hatsumi, critic of epitaphs Could he take on the Omega epitaphs?
>>286110566>epitaphs
>>286110511And that's all for this volume!See you tomorrow!
>>286088587>Femboy vs actual giant FAGGOTRen was doomed from the start>>286102136Karen has effectively become the unwilling joke character
>>286109830Is this more or less magical than Nikaido's ASMR shenanigans?
>>286110741The most magical thing is that Hatsumi bought into his bullshit
>>286110833Hatsumi might somehow be shredded but his mental game is dogshit.
>>286109982That is not 60% of Okubo
>>286111009his movements are mostly stored in his massive balls
>>286098930They're largely very fit men in their physical primes, some are bound to be attractive. Also Daro is a huge closeted fairy, nobody draws man nipple with that much emphasis if they're not at least somewhat fruity.
>>286109892Ah yes, the established styles of>Nezu and Rei who barely did anything>Wakatsuki and Gozo who are pure stats
>>286111120Do not forget the long hair style when he has short hair
>>286110741If you really wanna stretch it, perhaps he's just adopting the exact same body language and facial expressions as Gaolang, as if you had Gaolang possess him. Honestly, there's way more bullshit stuff to come.
>>286109854Thank you Kaneda, I was about to say the same.
>>286109878>>286109892Just saying, that type of ability has a bad track record in fiction.
>>286109976He deserves a horrifying beatdown by a blonde twink in a special match designed solely to humilliate him for that.
>>286111244You could even say that most works of fiction tend to use this kind of characters as jobbers...
>>286111009He's packing Rasputinian amounts of heat
>>286109892Cutenaba
>>286110080HOLY SHIT HE KNOWS THE KURE CLAN SECRET TECHNIQUE
>>286110097>>286110114>>286110134I appreciate all the jobber flags Sen is ticking here, almost sells you on it
>>286110183>>286110196Fucking lol, this is a hilarious contrast between early edgy Rihito and later chungus Rihito
>>286111368He's just like "the Connector"....
>>286110346As mean as Rihito's eventual fate is, this is a nice little sidestory. It has soul.
>>286110287Wow, that reminds me of someone...
>>286110511Those are some Kenichi nipples>>286110607Thanks OP
>>286111244It's funny because Agito does the same shit in his fights. Chiba just has bad fight IQ, even if his psychological game is good.
>>286110357High school Sawada makes me feel weird...
>>286111244It's literally just Blue Mages, Megaman and Rouge that seem to have a decent track record when it comes to power copiers
>>286110741He is not Literally changing his face tho. Is just a stylish way to portray how he can copy moves from other fighters to the point of being the exact same
>>286111368>hilarious contrastWeird way to call "shitty forced change of tone".
The enchungusification of Lihito
>>286110741It's just him giving everyone schizophrenia
>>286109892What a vile monster, Misasa should tear his face off
>>286109982>>286110009Gaolang is secretly the Penisman!
>>286110224Wonder how many bodies the kengan association hides there
>>286110346Man...
>>286110373Thanks op
>>286112138There's no way they'd trust Lihito with something that sensitive.
>>286110479He's gonna tweet his tipples
>>286110511Dayum those nips could cut diamonds
>>286109830>kenganposters seeing another kenganposter for the first time
>>286110009
>>286110145That was a pretty cool cliffhanger. I'm reading Kengan for the third time and it's unfathomable the quality difference from Omega.
>>286109966>oh shit, i need to copy actual good fighters now and only have 4 hours left>who knows why i never did this before in my years of long training in getting shredded
>>286109845Who is the white haired black man? Sandro is referencing someone, but the name slips my mind.
>>286110009Whats going to happen when he reaches 100%? Is it going to start leaking out?
>>286109924>I will have surpassedJOBBER WORDS
>>286109924Forget the jobber flags, Hatsumi's head is downright uncanny.
>>286112718Don King.
>>286111476>Thanks OPyou should know by now it's not OP
>>286110224>>286110236I want to work for SF Cold Storage.
>>286111601make sure to never read berserk, then
>>286112718>>286112833It's actually Lucius Sweet. He's exactly as rich and famous as Don King and looks just like him too
>>286110357I thought Kaneda was older than that
>>286110357Get a fucking life Okubo, jeez
>>286109830"I" have "arrived". Welcome to "me"
>>286112981Ok but you need to be nearly killed by Ohma or Lihito to qualify
>>286110145OH NO NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHO WON lol
>>286110214>>286110224>>286110236Rihito is a pretty good dude.
>>286113418Deal. I've nearly died before and I've got nothing to show for it but scars.
>>286113712I fell off a skateboard once.
>>286113712Someone kicked a soccer ball into my face once
>>286113712I fell off my scooter chin first onto a curb once.
>>286113267it's a hobby
>>286113999Can't believe he came all the way from Osaka to see two retards fight
>>286110357Isnt Himuro from the inside? You would think he would be used to random street fights
>>286114091Yeah but he knows he's not inside right now
>>286114091This isn't really a spoiler, he spills the beans in his second appearance
>>286110833Hey, Kure skill: copy prove that its workKiba is just shitter
>>286109845>>286112718
>>286109865>I'm from the undergroundAt least he's not from the Inside. That's a relief!
>>286114158I didnt want to share any details on what goes on in there just to be safe. For all the new readers know, the "inside" could be anything
>>286110224Oh, hi there!
>>286109854>>286109865THe obligatory mokujin character for the Kengan fighting game
>>286109878I just can't stand fighters who steal fighting moves from other people!
>>286109892HOW THE FUCK DID HE COPY INABA STYLE?
>>286110196Also-
>>286109892He should've copied Julius's "win by doing absolutely nothing" style
>>286114700I'm pretty sure the "inside" has already been explained, more or less
>>286114158He enjoys his bartender work, doesn't he?
>>286111244Does it? Copycats at least have a tendency to be major villains rather than one-off jobbers.
>>286109924>You're a copycat counting his chickens before they hatch?Can he "see" them? The "hexes"?
>>286114915Maybe his footwork that he was using at the start of the fight
>>286109830Gaolang would never smile casually like that.
>>286109892I wonder if Sandro intentionally put the two public fighters after him.Though I guess Sumo and Seki are also public fighters.
>>286110325Every man, at least once in his life, dreams of being the strongest!
>>286110368Mammoth Murphy lost?To... Sandrovich?Masaka...
>>286115652Well have you seen Sandrovich in action
>>286111538Agito is a bit less "I'm gonna see what you do and try and replicate it" and more "I'm so ungodly skilled at all martial arts that I'm gonna beat you using your own style just to crush your spirit". Subtle distinction, but it's there.
>>286116037Agreed, but there are specific moments where he lifts exact techniques. Ones that come to mind off the top of my head are Okubo's synthesis against Gaolang and a specific hold from Sen against Lu Tian.
>>286109966This is actually pretty funny
>>286086042For fun, i'd do it without hesitation if i could
>>286110145I knew whats-his-face could do it!
>>286110267I wonder how expensive ripping all of those up would be.
>>286114915He just swings his head around but his hair is short so it doesn't do anything
>>286110196
>>286075392>>286075379how the fuck did he survive this lol
>>286116376
>>286116708He induced heart attacks to condition his heart
>>286109892He's so evil
>>286110002That top panel could beat inaba's giant spider?!
>>286116709Huh, I thought Rihito was a little bigger than that. The more you know.
>>286109892How are you supposed to copy their body constitution, barring actual fucking magic? I can't tell if him walking into the arena looking like an old man is just a visual illusion because his movement is just that good or it's magic. I'm looking forward to him tanking everything like Jun with their difference in body build, see where that will go.
>>286109966Thought so.
>>286110002>I have to face an Agito-class opponent in the first round?He actually bought it.
>>286110174Of course Ivan is alive.
>>286116667Prime material for a Sandro edit.
>>286110080 in omega, they shat on yumigahara for aka "stealing" but chiba is cool lol
>>286116875>Those hands and eyeballsI see, he has also copied Meguro's schizophrenia.
>>286110373Thanks for dumping.>>286110511Nice.
>>286109823>>286110566How would Gilbert rate it?
>>286109865I wonder if he ever met Hayabusa
>>286111422For Rihito it is more natural since they are going for a more cat-like demeanor for him. They even changed his style in 3D to have move more like a cat when doing his razor's edge. The Connector meanwhile is just a lazy bum with no justification for being propped up as being forgiven for his amorality.
Kengan World Tour will go crazy after Omega finishes in about 300 chapters
>>286118867Can't wait until Kengan Super
>>286116667Really shitty edit, but I tried.Spoilers
>>286119111Sandro needs more public appearances so we can stop using this FUCKING face
>>286117179That's cuz Yumigahara was cozying up to masters to steal secret techniques and drop 'em, he was pretending to be friends and shit, meanwhile Chiba is just going monkey see monkey do -really- efficiently with no personal relationships involved, so he's not evil
>>286119190You can explain it 500 times but people will still pretend Yumi is parallel to kure style: copy
>>286119111Kek
>>286119190>>286119212Even that explanation doesn't make any sense. Did Ohma whine when Koji cheated during his match? No, because dishonest behaviour is just what should be normal in the underground. Nogi makes sure Kazuo knows that. That sort of behaviour isn't anything other fighters from the same underground organisation should be condemning.The problem is that Sandro clearly made that trait up on the spot to try to get readers to hate the guy. Not to mention, the phrasing was just clunky, and is worth poking fun at."Stolen techniques" simply does not make sense as a phrase. Intangible things such as identity or passwords can be stolen, but can ideas be stolen? Either way, Yumigahama was explicitly transforming weapon techniques into barehanded ones, and uses all his gains as part of his unique fighting style. That's an instance of innovation, but not theft.Sandro could have just said "betrayal", or left it at "cozying up", instead of dragging those extra words into the script.
>>286119500Cheating in the ring and fucking old men for techniques outside the ring are different thingsYumi was a cumslut for forbidden techniques
>>286110325>>286115617Is this a common phrase in Japanese? I thought Itagaki came up with it for Baki. Or did Kengan just steal it?
>>286075549>all these "quotes"This have edit "potential"
>>286119147There's plenty of other faces to use, however you will keep seeing this smug son of a bitch until the end of your time.
>>286117095Imagine he wasn't and everyone had been just hanging out with a guy who casually killed a man for petty reasons
>>286119728I'd love to see what you're thinking.
>>286109845>>286112718Remember the evil boxing promoter from Koukou Tekken-Den TOUGH.
>>286110245Why is Rihito so kawaii in this gaiden
>>286116962>How are you supposed to copy their body constitution, barring actual fucking magic? You don't. The manga explicitly states that he was lying about it. He can copy Waka punch but it will never have the same power. >Can't tell if him walking into the arena looking like an old man is just a visual illusion because his movement is just that good or it's magic.The former.
>>286089454I like Hatsumi's take on it because its less lazy-strong but more untreated depression.
>>286082389"Grown up games" is sleazy old man talk. Even if she's banging, no one that isn't 40 talks like that.
>>286079525Kiozan probably pulps him. Same with Meguro. He'd beat Haruo and Inaba, however.
>>286116708Bottoms can take inhuman physical abuse.
The timing, I see it. Take this! BUUUUMP
>>286119111Checked. God, this actually makes me mad. I thought I was beyond caring about stupid retcons but this is beyond the pale.
>>286119639I think it's just a common sentiment, you hear it in Snow Crash for example.
>>286119111 Jean might be Sandro's third most aimless character right behind Koga and Ryuki
>>286123777I had a dream that Koga was fighting Alan Wu who was easily blocking and parrying every single attack he tried. He was getting neg-diffed by Alan Wu in my dreams.
>>286123882Sandro claims another victim
>>286119639Sandro has stolen a lot from Itagaki.
>>286119988Like Julius?
>>286119500From the way I see it, he isn't just trying to take a skill or two. Instead he is trying to copy their whole fighting style and demeanor thus capturing the essence or whatever the fuck in their martial arts. This makes him morally correct, while Yumi and his heinous salary raise coveting ways wafts a stench of Evil.
>>286109854
>>286119500From the way anons continue to defend Yumi's honor you'd think that they love him. Or at least are attracted to the monkey.
>>286119500Yumi wasted other people's time, that's the sin. He made people teach him some special technique and then he bailed soon after, making taking Yumi on as a Student a giant waste of time
>>286125841Nah shut the fuck up slurper. No one's buying your little reasoning about Sandro's personal vendetta against a character he penned himself. That faggot hack somehow sometimes falls head over heels like with Metsudo, and in the case of Yumi he went on a warpath.
>>286125914You're letting Sandro's writing press you so badly it has you acting like a lil bro, stop letting Sandro stress you out and get out of the threads for a cool down
>>286125428I don't even see it as defending his honor so much as pointing out that the idea of shaming a guy because he learned other people's techniques is kind of retarded and hypocritical. Nobody and no character got that mad at the worm for literally sending agents to learn styles and then killing off the teachers. Nobody cares about Agito whose whole gimmick is copying other people's styles and incorporating their moves into formless. Nobody cares about Chiba who might spend an entire day tracing someone's moves whether they are alive and dead. Yumi "cozying up to people" is not something worth noting, his real crime was killing a man when he betrayed his boss. The added layer of hate on using other people's styles just didn't land well at all.
It was five years ago, get the fuck over it already.
>>286126056>you're mad! you're mad!!!!No, why would I be?>>286126136>betrayed his boss.Have you ever had a job mate? Leaving to accept a better paid position is absolutely normal.
>>286110224How come Yamashita gets a shell company created for him but Lihito is handed an actual businessAlso good on Lihito for finding Ivan to fax in his orders since Nogi didn't even bother to get a secretary for him
This is an Ashura thread, stop talking about that monkey without spoilers.
>>286114966Yeah, we already got a flashback where a malnourished kid Ohma pushes a grown-ass yakuza out of a window and Niko deflects bullets with some bullshit
>>286126779Niko's bullet deflection isn't even bullshit. You already know how strong Ohma's punches are so imagine that kind of tensity clashing with a bullet, plus we know he moved before the bullets were fired.
>>286126816that's one of the few "magic" kengan techniques that would be feasible IRL (but only if the martial artist was a gigagod at reading movements and the bullet caliber was tiny)
>>286126136>I don't see it as much asOh you are deep in the trenches.
>>286127540What do you even mean?
>>286126779>ghetto whores looking that goodNah. I kinda wanna peruse Al's Drugs though.
>>286109854>Naming your jobber rush
>>286127888That's a tackle, not a jobber rush. Tackles and takedowns let you skip pages past your opponents possible counters or dodges when you "get the timing right."
>>286127938The "difference" is negligible. The timers tournament was full of these and each and every one of them ate shit for it.
>>286119111>Really shitty edit, but I tried.what are you talking about?this is a gemit just needed some polish
>>286128018>the timers tournamentBoth the people who used them got it off successfully at least once. [Spoiler] it even worked on fucking Gaolang even if Justin lost right after.[/spoiler] there's a major tanking difference just read and count.
