Right? It's absolutely bizarre. It's like Sandro remembered that he came out of his loss against Agito in Ashura still looking good and tried desperately to replicate it but forgot how to write.

Has Gaolang won against "any" Kengan Fighter after Kaneda? Jurota switching to Kengan doesn't count, he's a Purgfag at the end of the day
Gaolang is staying some weird A-tier fodder that gets brought out for superficial "unfathomable" fights against characters Sandro likes. Also I'm guessing Gaolang learning Formless was a weird phase since he didn't use it here

Sandro understands that the Good guys vs Bad guys roster is unevenly fucked so he's having Kengan Fighters bash each other even though this whole tournament is supposedly to keep Ohma and Ryuki safe

And just like LITERALLY EVERYONE ON PLANET EARTH predicted, Precious Princess #3 (maybe #2) wins against Precious Princess #5ish and it's made both princesses look worse and wasn't satisfying in any way shape or form.
But since an unsatisfying win is what the "narrative" wanted, I'm actually surprised Sandro managed to "pull it off". If "I" didn't know any better "I" would say he thought this out but alas "I" am not that "green".

>>286169779
>>Gaolangs loss is just another rendition of his loss in Purgatory
Just goes to show you that the Princess rankings are set in iron and cannot be upsetted in way shape or form in the long run. Same reason why Precious Princess #4 Agito won again against Gaolang even though the odds were stacked against him.

His last fight ever btw. Last canon recall we'll get of Gaolang is that of a washed up bum that has forgotten all that ''I must fight to the death to uphold my honor'' to just abide by autistic rules no one really cared about.
Fed to the princess and ready to get tossed away forever. Even without that retarded wristwatch thing got rawdogged all the fight and failed to do any lasting damage to Raian. In fact he would probably have lost his other hand anyways so this may have prevented him from losing even more of his dignity.
But hey he gave Raian some mean blood hexagon textures here and there so it evens out or something.

And let's not act like the fight itself is a masterpiece, bad finish or not.

>>286170996
This fight shouldn't have happened in the first place. Everyone was scoffing at it from the get-go because they knew for a fact that Sandwich couldn't let any of his Kenganvenger princesses lose (especially to each other, and ESPECIALLY if it involves his number one super special princess Raian). As such, everyone knew that the outcome was going to be utterly disappointing no matter what. The manga wasted an entire month's worth of chapters on this nonsense.
>>
>>286169022
i was wondering how sandro was going to soften gaolang's loss. kenganvengers can't humiliate other kenganvengers, that's the rule.
>you won... but it was an accidental victory... it would've been a close one... it would've been to the death... it would've been unfathomable... but i gotta leave it to you now bro... the apple watch broke and the return window closes today... it can't be helped... you're carrying the torch forward, even though it hurts my pride bro... i'm just so honorable like that

>>286169803
Gaolang literally lost because his lack of strength what the fuck is that SEAmonkey babbling about. He got his wrist fucking shattered and none of his strikes, despite being more precise (and therefore easier for him to strike weak points) did any damage to Raian, short or long term. He left Raian at 80% HP and was already fucking dying while the former was only getting pumped up. What the fuck. They are NOT at the same level.

That's entirely the problem people had though. This fight happened just because. It was basically fan service except no one except the author asked for it. It was clear to everyone with half a brain that this wouldn't have a satisfying ending no matter what happened. Raian could have won and that's boring because Raian is Sandro's waifu. Gaolang could have won and that's slightly less boring but still boring because he's also Sandro's waifu. It could have been a draw and that's boring as well because again, what the fuck is the point. And it could have been interrupted and surprise fucking surprise, that's boring as well, because yet fucking again, what is the fucking point???????????????

You can literally see Raian's arm covered in wounds from blocking Gaolang's punches. Why didn't Raian's wrist watch break from enduring these endless punches?
>>
>>286171307
It would have been nice to see but narratively it would have been another entirely pointless thing. Gilbert's whole quest then becomes pointless as well. I get it, the narrative is fucking dog shit, so another pointless thing isn't exactly anything new at this point but still. It would have been a short lived victory because we would have gotten some other fucking insanely convoluted bullshit to make up for it.

>>286171443
Gaolang was actually very mindful of that and avoided it, ergo, the mental strain of that made him lose so ackshually Gaolang >>>> Raian still. Absolutely.

Kenganvengers are essentially written like Vin Diesel in fast and furious, they all have a contract regarding how many hits they can take and how they're allowed to lose
When two kenganvengers fight, to preserve their aura the writer must come up with an ending that gives fans of both an excuse as to how their character is still stronger despite losing

Just like his offscreen losses so basically nothing happened. Which has been the theme of Omega for a good few years now.

Because everyone predicted a cop-out ending, if Raian had just obliterated Gaolang for the KO that would have at least been a conclusion, these sorts of dusty finishes trying to preserve both of their dignities just makes both look stupid.

I still don't know why Shen is supposedly so evil. Either Shens. His own team says he's mega evil and the Kenganchunguses all think he's evil as well mostly but why exactly is he so bad?

The "Evil is on the move" page gets sillier and sillier after each chapter we get with the Connector. It's like every single one of his henchmen are evil but he's just a paragon of niceness. Or at the very least apathy.
>Luohan was created to become the scapegoat that absorbed all of Worm's evil deeds and got shit on by everyone
Now this is the truly strange part because that's almost definitely exactly why Luohan was made but he has done sweet fuck all. He's always shown to be scheming something and pretending to be fucking Aizen or something but like, nothing's happened for it? Ever? It's like Sandro just doesn't know where he stands at any given point.

If we're talking least redeemable Omega fight ever it has to be Lolong vs that Krav Maga guy at the start of the RCT. I think that's the one which was just the absolute nadir.

First sandro became already scared to permanently kill good guys
Then he became scared to make them lose badly

>>286174541
The Kokuro vs Koga fight is insanely good, it's like what, one chapter? But it immediately sets up tons of Koga's backstory and his fighting experience as well as his limitations and lets him lose without making him look like a total chump. Kokuro never going on to do anything impressive is on Sandro.
>>
>>286174753
It isn't even really a new technique I think it's been so long since a Cosmo fight that Sandro forgot that that's how Zone works
>>
>>286175324
I did like how it swt up Kokuro as an upcoming challenger and Koga's kinetic eye+ potential for growth but now that i know it goes nowhere i genuinely cant appreciate it.
I acrually enjoyed myself up until the end of purgatory but after that the plot just actually ends.

>luo han's wacky adventures

>>286175259
I find it notable because of how disrespectful it is. I personally haven't noticed much of that happening if at all where a person claims he can beat people with his hands tied behind his back and actually do it. Other than that though, yeah it was bad.
>>
>>286175395
I'd say Shen walking in is where the plot started to actually die. Berserker Bowl represented a new lease on life for the series and Koga vs Ryuki is genuinely a top fight across all of Kengan but the inside arc was such a disappointment that it destroyed any momentum
>>
>>286175259
It's not the nadir. RCT is the nadir. Shen vs Mukaku was at least more visually interesting than a lot of other fights we've had since since Mukaku is actually doing comprehensible things and he loses to Shen in a way that sort of makes sense by Kengan logic

my issue is that the poingancy of a man who destroyed himself out of a desire for revenge is undermined by the constant retconning of who he is and especially stuff like Mukaku not even inventing the Advance
>>
>>286175259
Shen vs Mukaku was a fucking waste because Sandro really wanted to hammer home how much of a fraud Mukaku was by not allowing him to use his own variety of Niko moves
The creators of the Niko style getting treated like chump change to a guy who deliberately made himself retarded to fight on even terms is wasteful from a narrative perspective and character perspective
>>
The Gaolang upscale is crazy though. He can just tank Removal Raian for some reason.
>>
If this was old Sandro Gaolong would have won, Raian would seethe but then just jump Gil after the event was over and settle this that way.
He can't even subvert properly anymore.
>>
>>286175611
Damage in general is just a non-thing at this stage of the series. Like, legitimately, a non-thing. So many fights have the commentator character or the narrator fucking go on and on and on and fucking on about how much fatigue and damage the fighter has taken and how that will severely affect their performance and then the fight happens and lol nope. Guy could have just walked out of a luxury spa after a 3 month rest.
>>
>>286175250
What kicks, he threw maybe 2 the entire fight
>>
>>286175706
I think if it was anyone except Raian I would agree with you, Sandro hates giving guys who just have physical edge the win but Raian has always been an exception to this, hence his nickname
>>
>>286175706
Gaolang being blindsided by the rules after already having it happen once is incredibly stupid
I guess it would've been harder to write Raian accepting defeat just because his stupid watch broke
>>
>>286175563
>The creators of the Niko style getting treated like chump change to a guy who deliberately made himself retarded to fight on even terms is wasteful from a narrative perspective and character perspective
exactly what i'm saying. it's not just a bad fight in terms of what actually happens in the fight (although that shit is dumb too with le principles) but it's terrible because it wastes the entirety of the first half of omega's narrative groundwork to have shen rape mukaku while lobotomized (and spouting YOU WERE AWESOME the entire time)
>>
>>286175706
The Princess rankings take priority over subversions I'm afraid.
>>
>>286173875
At some iteration in his many lives, Shen was like Luohan. No one knows exactly what that means because Luohan now has not done anything really villainous, but I guess he was a real sicko or something. Yan seems convinced Shen would just destroy society if he was aggravated enough.

You severely "misunderstand" the hierarchy, "friend". OG Kengan Asura characters are gods. And among them, some are more godly than others. No one in Omega comes even remotely close. Not even Lolong "Could he have taken him" Donaire.

Still, Jean definitely doesn't make the cut into the big leagues due to being stuck in a coma for hundreds of chapters. He's pretty much below super novas

It's crazy, 2 out of 3 fights he wins comes from the other guy letting him pummel them in the face until they get the timing right and failing and then fights where he loses stem from getting his hand busted or rules

Being as genuine as possible here, i really did cheer for Gaolang even tho i knew him losing was inevitable.

Giving up is one thing, but giving up when things are just about to get real is in another category of humiliation.

Nobody who wasn't in the KAT counts as a Kengenvenger. Even new Omega fighters like Nitoku don't count since they clearly aren't being given special treatment the old KAT roster is. Jean is a new character, not a kengan fighter, and suffered a massive aura loss when he lost his crazy schizo boy who killed his rival status to a retcon. Maybe the biggest KWAB in this series in years.

It was less a fight and more like watching Wile E Coyote trying to catch the Road Runner. If the "fight" went on for another chapter I'm sure Sandro would've had Shen running through a tunnel that Mukaku painted onto a wall, and then Mukaku smashing against the wall when he tries to follow.

>>
>>286176542
You mostly listed fights that have zero weight to them in terms of potential. There were exactly 0 people who thought Ohma vs Nitoku was the banger we’ve been waiting half the manga to see. This fight on the other hand is something basically everyone wanted for one reason or another. The blind slurpers on reddit and comikey wanted to see two of their favorite epic fighters duke it out. For the hatereaders, the horde of sunken cost readers, and the people who only read to see how much farther this manga can sink, they all wanted to see one of Sandro’s two blatant princesses get their shit kicked it. The wet fart of a fight, the new “technique” that somehow makes fighters weaker than regular people and adds no visual or mental stimulation for the reader, and the even wetter fart of an ending makes this fight easily one of the worst in the series. If it was one named character and a rando, it wouldn’t suck as much.

I don't subscribe to the whole "Sandro's princesses" schlock that people like to peddle around here, so the impact of the who the characters involved are is muted for me. Raian hasn't had a real fight in ages and hasn't done much since he ripped Alan, a fighter with nothing but lip service propping him up, in half. Meanwhile Gaolang just constantly slides by on technicalities and face-saving scrapes.
This fight just didn't represent much to me. I don't buy the hype behind Raian because he's done so little.
Funny enough, the actual worst fight is probably the one I failed to mention in Raian vs. Willem, the last actual fight Raian was part of.

Sandro has had a really difficult time with Raian. The guy was clearly created to be a heel for Ohma to beat senseless with Advance in round 2. Making Raian a good guy or a hero just doesn't work no matter how much he tries to push the narrative that Raian is this hothead murderer who's actually a pretty cool guy when he's on your side. If he cut the shit and just played him straight as the evil heel fighter he is I could get down with him.

People voting with their dicks and self-inserting as Ohma, but to be fair this poll was taken really early on. Like either near the end of Round 1 or before it even fully concluded.

It is so weird how everyone is so tolerant of Raian. Pretty sure he killed more people than Akoya and has been shown to enjoy engaging in recreational torture against weaker opponents.
This wouldn't be so bad if most of the cast weren't huge moralfags with how they treated Ryuki, but let Raian just be.

All Sandro would have to do is not have Raian act like a murder-tard in every single interaction, he needs a cool-down when he's with allies and friends, a shift in personality.

This is abject horseshit but I will at least take something approaching satisfaction in the fact that Raian looks like he's about to cry at this outcome

can't do that because Gaolang planned to use his kicks.
which he used. a lot. right?

Fight could've been a lot better. Everyone knows Gaolang was the underdog so Sandro should've surprised us by having Gaolang's punches keep hitting and Raian confused that Gaolang is too fast even for him. Reveal the consciousness gap later on when Raian catches on instead of having YappaSeki.

That way Gaolang actually gets a couple chapters being a genuine threat to Raian and Seki does not get the yapping treatment

I laugh at the fact Raian is the one seething for once. This is the ultimate humiliation for him and it's partially his own fault.

It's kind of funny Raian doesn't care about Gilbert. I don't think he even thought Gilbert was joining. Raian probably came for Shen and other top tiers along the way. He was fully prepared to get disqualified in a death match with Gaolang of all people right here and now.
