In light of recent sequel news I thought I could do with a rereadWhat is this about?>Kenichi, who has been bullied but wishes to be strong, joins Karate club upon entering senior high school. However, he gets picked on by the other pupils in the club everyday. One day, Kenichi meets Miu, a beautiful girl who has just transferred from another high school. On Miu’s suggestion, Kenichi decides to be a disciple of Ryozanpaku, a mysterious training establishment. Kenichi could not imagine the brutal training he receives from the martial arts masters there… However, now Kenichi is marked by Ragnarok, a street gang group, and he is constantly defending himself from them.I haven't read this since it ended back in the day so in a lot of ways this will be more than just a refresherAt a volume per day we should end a little bit after the new chapter has come outThere are new readers so please keep spoilers hidden, even if it's to gawk at your best girl's butt

>>286202846Today we're getting three!
>>286202750aye aye sexo!
>"evil" is on the move...
>>286202781Ah kenichi's battle uniform.It's cool, but I'm gonna miss him fighting in casual clothing.Always thought characters fighting in regular clothes was cool.
>>286202923That poor cat
>>286202826>powers itself though Kenichi's movementsKek.I fucking love how more sadastic and elaborate Akisame's training contraptions become.
>>286202959How does the infant child remember itHow was she even born
>>286202867"Evil" is on the move.
>>286203019Imagine the smell
>>286202699Now we are getting to the part where i don't any idea whats going to happen
>>286203064Saved by the bellI think Kenichi should get a divorce, clearly not worth it anymore
It feels like the manga has already taken a turnSomething in the art and presentation seems differentThe low detail reaction panels are new
>>286202817>holy shit that Renka>Huh? Renka's in this? Whe-Holy shit that Renka.
>>286203081How powerful is the 4th wall breaking style

>>286203102>>286203115Nobita...
Why doesn't Kenichi as the strongest disciple not simply eat the weaker disciples?
>>286202826Akisame could legitimately be a mad scientist with how fucked up his inventions are getting.
>>286202995>No cameltoeMangaka is a hack
>>286203152That gravity defying flap is pretty impressive, Shigure
>>286202897Based procrastinators
>>286203166It took you 17 volumes to notice there's no cameltoe?
>>286202867>an evil organization of wicked forces worse than Ragnarok is on the move, and our former disciple now turned murderer has joined them>this is a little bit troublesome
>>286203102>That girl AGAINGETOUTOFMYHEADGETOUTOFMYHEADGETOUTOFMYHEAD
>>286202781From here on out, it's all manga. No more anime. It's time to read Kenichi fully and trully now.
>>286203197I recognize a glowie when I see one.
>>286202897Too many optic blasts!
>>286203081hey, is this girl again
>>286202923Kenichi drank medicine made from people...
>>286202923It's the background girl again! Are we counting her appearances?
Help me remember the name of a mangaIt was a juvenile delinquent fighting manga where the main character when to a school where nearly everyone fought. Kind of like Cromartie except it was played straight. The main character eventually fights and beats one of the three main bad guys that's an upper class man and then starts wearing his cloak. It was pretty popular here on /a/ but I can't remember the name
>>286202953OUR ALLIANCE IS HERE
>>286202959How does Honoka remember this better than you Ken.
>>286202987Because Honoka has more brains as a baby than Kenichi. Remember, Honoka is a Master level at Othelo, while Kenichi is still just a disciple.
>>286202976He really does care. He's just super fucking autistic about it.
>>286203295Those bandages look like rubber bands
>>286203266There are fuck load of manga like thisIts popular premiere
So Miu was capable of stomping every antagonist Kenichi fought so far?
>>286202985When was the last time we saw Miu in a leotard?
>>286203019>Musashi never took a bathEugh.
>>286203324The fuck kinda cotton is this made from
I've reading this, it's one of the few comedy mangas that consistently made me laugh.
I think we've entered the phase of fighting manga where Kenichi basically stops going to school
>>286203102>all the enemies are NiijimaBAD FRIENDBAD FRIEND
>>286203364What are you even doing KennyAlso that girl
>>286203133Especially cursed smug Akisame
>>286203144Miu..Renka..
>>286202867sakaki sitting in lotus is based
>>286203295Did Kenishi wrap spaghetti around his hands?
>>286203157Because that's evil, Ogata.
>>286203386Kinda impressed by the sword variety, not a single katana style sword.
I feel like the masters constantly gaslight Kenichi by telling him he has no talent just so he'll work hard. He clearly is talented.
>>286203323Yes and that will still be the case for a good while.Some people even say miu remains stronger then ken-chan for the entire manga, but I'm not convinced.
>>286203222Sakaki being a merc actually makes a lot of sense.
>>286203337He is also wearing chainmail underneath it
>>286203336he looks funny with the helmet, lel
>>286203423He's on her level by the end. He was even able to hold off Berserker Miu for a while.
>>286203281Christopher Éclair?!
>>286203416They also keep calling him the Greatest Disciple in History TM so clearly some mixed messaging at play here
>>286203312I knew about this outfit because I'd seen pictures but never actually knew the reasons for it. I think it's pretty cool! It's distinctive but a little understated as well.
>>286203459Don't spoil too much
>>286203480Would
>>286203295SEX
>>286203448Granny got cucked...
>>286203337it's probably silk, and silk is known for being quite strong, folded a few times, it can stop low caliber bullets
>>286203480I think this guy is French, imagine saying this about Japan lol when you come from a country so filthy tourists will literally get ill from just seeing it
>>286203323Yes. If Miu had gotten involved, she probably could have crushed all the Ragnarok execs in one go, with MAYBE Odin being enough to get her to put in some real effort.
>>286202897I wish I was that cool when ignoring my problems
>>286203336>tied him downKen's cute butt will not be safe...
>>286203416It's all just good ribbing. Probably. Maybe.
>>286203515Sakaki knows english confirmed
>>286203571Way to insult Shigure SakakiThen again those are filthy non Nihonese swords
>>286203480An evil greater than Ragnarok has entered...the Fr*nch.
>>286203416Nah ken-chan just gets put through the wringer.None of the other talented disciples need to have their hand held as much as kenichi while training or take as long to master certain techniques.
>>286203599Nicolas...
>>286202953Nijima is a bit of a tsundere or some other dere
>>286203599pretty sure it can't be traced back that far but it is a bit of an oddity, not a lot of western martial arts are so kick focused
Deadpool traced this
>>286203619Sakaki no! You'll get cancelled.
>>286203571I don't like this guy's face.
>>286202959Everything about the top panel is kek
>>286203599Zenkichi...
>>286203656He's just an innocent arms dealer, anon
>>286203599frenchfags have martial arts of their own?
>>286203619Getting the insults out early, I see.
>>286203686No guns eh
>>286203678Greco-roman is actually also french wrestling, that's why it's purely upright instead of including leg attacks like the actual Greeks and Romans did (their wrestling was more similar to what we would call freestyle wrestling)
>>286203651>>286203663Now that's an ENTER
>>286203686>I can handle this pussy!>he could not, in fact, handle this pussy
>>286203747>t. Kenichi
>>286203697>pulverized that car with just his legs aloneGoddamn.
>>286203768Kenichi looks cold af here. Hermitesque
>>286203722Mass-killing arms dealer not so cocky when he has to ride on a train with the same plebs whose deaths he makes his money off of.
>>286203778>kenichi noticed something is wrong Slowly(very slowly), but surely he is becoming one of them
>>286203815>Leaving Kenichi to fight a womanDoes Sakaki not know his disciple.
>>286203742what music do you think Sakaki listens to?
>>286203826>Make Kenichi fight against womanIts over...
>>286203385To be fair, jumping out of moving motorcycle has a much lower chance of killing or crippling him than whatever random bullshit the masters feel like putting him through on any given day
>>286203846Butt rock
>>286203778It's the shotacon touching the little boy!
Arms dealer looks like King here
>>286203815Sakaki leaving that woman to the world's strongest mysogenist
>>286203894Lmao that's a good move
>>286203798BETRAYAL
>>286203708>first nameSAKAKI-SHISOU RUN YOUR BUTTHOLE IS IN DANGER
>>286203815Sakaki no! All Kenichi will do is make her more dangerous by insulting her!
Arms dealer guy reminds me of King face wise.
>>286203846Heavy metal.
>>286203935>legs and arms bound>blushing indignationSexooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
>>286203524Now that is just stand power
>>286203894Poor girl.
>>286203935Kenichi has mastered the art of instant bondage
>>286203463Probablement un allemand.>>286203678we have 2 actually. wrestling and savate.>>286203935Ma taugh him well, he's now a rape master.
>>286203935Shigure... what are you teaching this boy
>>286203927Damn it Kenichi.>>286203935Kenichi has become a true bondage master. Also not sure what the arms dealer is expecting him to do in a fight between two Masters.
I remember not liking this arc. The highschool stuff was more fun
>>286204032She's grooming him to treat her how she wants to be treated.
>>286203571I'm pretty sure all swords besides japanese are banned in Japan, and japanese swords are only allowed because the craftsmanship and the martial arts around them are considered protected traditional arts, and unsheathing any sword in public in Japan is grounds for going to jail
>>286202699Her nipples look less pointy than usual.
>>286203959>just throws the child to his death out a moving trainHoly shit, this guy is just pure evil.
>>286204049I'll be frank.That's extremely erotic.
>>286202699Miu is so goddamn hot. Can't believe my teenage lust for this character is coming back. Nostalgia
>>286204066Why is Miu always on the covers? She has fuck all to do with this chapter.
>>286204041>Hands off my cute disciple!
Christopher is too sexy...
>>286203826You´re as inconspicious as a Stand user dude.
>>286204099Don't fuck evil men, anon.
>>286203935going to ignore the obvious and focus on how this is actually pretty impressive from Kenichi, she's presumably pretty dangerous and he just instantly handled her
>>286204118>Sakaki is younger than meNo....................... it can't be
>>286204064When you have a legitimate, if not normal, Master-Student relationship, it makes it a lot easier to teach strange things.Plus her room is right across the hall from him, and we know she's not above sneaking into his room while he's asleep.
>>286202699Has that one thing happened to that one master yet? When everyone back in the day agreed the series jumped the shark when it got reversed.
>>286204039He isn't Martial Autist so he can't see the difference in skill
>>286204104Shota coming in clutch.
>>286204140We're a long ways off yet
>>286204134Old man!
>>286204158The evil woman is ruffling his hair kek
>>286204140We're just starting the Yami arc, so this is the first enemy Master to be introduced, other than Ogata.
>>286204127Ken-chan is starting to leave humanity behind.
>>286204032Right... Why didnt we saw this training...
>>286204173erotic miu
>>286204164Apachai is so silly.
>>286203295THE History's Strongest Disciple Outfit.
>>286204140I can see why he did it, but I can't even argue by saying it wouldn't fit the tone of the manga since he didn't undo it the other time it happened
>>286204173>probably more than 50% is this person's responsibility>the rest is this person'sI'm so glad you did this storytime because I forgot how genuinely funny some of Kenichi is
>>286204173Akisame is the cause of all Kenichi's suffering. Again.
>>286204173what is it about this manga that it's able to do jokes so effortlessly where a lot of other manga force it and aren't funny?
>>286204192THAT'S MY FUCKING MASTER
>>286204250He's so cute
>>286204192I mean to be fair the arms dealer is 100% in the right by complaining.He shouldn't have brought kenichi along to begin with.
>>286204250tricked lul
>>286204250i'm afraid he needs bussy correction.
>>286204217>helped out the FBI>wiped out drug syndicates and scared the piss out of the mafia>decided to go full assassin and start tossing kids out of speeding trainsOkay but why>>286204250Oh he's just a sociopath.
>>286204229I read it all back then, but the only person I can think of when you say that is phone guy. Is that who you're talking about?
>>286203115Snacking on a dorayaki, he really is Doraemon.
The full proper debut of Miu's work outfit, I think
>>286204311ENTER
>>286203157There's no weaker disciple to eat in Ryozanpaku.
>>286202877Kinda weird that the manga never got licensed
>>286204280It was just a decently paid job for him to hone his martial arts too, but as he said enjoyed assassination more and was annoyed he had to avoid killing. Basically he just doesn´t care about lives from the start.
>>286204285I meant sho.Honestly killing off a disciple(kid) seems like a much bigger deal than killing off a master.Though I guess he didn't want to change the ryouzanpaku dynamic too much.
>>286204217>mycroftsurely a memorable character like him will appear in the manga again
>>286204360I mean There's a whole new manga coming out so maybe.
>>286204347probably too horny, though the anime did get a dub and a pretty good one too
>>286203846This.https://youtu.be/pI5-LvbE4AE?si=
>>286204360He looks like a Speedwagon reference, then he was just an betraying asshole too.
>>286203266Narrow it down more.
>>286204354Oh. I had forgotten about him.
>>286202867Always found this weird considering Ogata is probably older than Sasaki, Shigure and Apachai.
>>286203663fab entrance
>>286204448Rapid brap style?!

>>286203583Yeah, he spent time in America.
>>286204529Kenichi getting xenophobic again.
>>286204529Taunt is effective
>>286203876he really does
>>286204134Jii-jii...
>>286204397>Eclair immediately stops whatever plots he may have had for Miu because the Elder would disintegrate himKek.>>286204402>Sakaki blushing in embarrassmentCute master.
>>286204427Is Kenichi channeling his inner NIjima with those dodging moves?
>>286202959https://www.m-bros.net/~shinpaku/>still up from 2003holy based
>>286203364>Kenichi basically stops going to schoolIt's fine, he can open a dojo in the future. Or just join the Ryozanpaku for life.
>>286203266A-bout?
>>286204134have you achieved your dream of being a master, old man?
>>286202750She’s here to steal your booty…
>>286203935Oh yeah, that's how he deals with these types of fights.
>>286204466Gauche, a gun will do literally nothing to anyone here (even Ken). Sit your ass down.
>>286203697SFII flashbacks
>>286204448man, seeing Kenishi this helpless is like in Kinnikuman after the evil main bad guy from the previous arc joins the good guys and he gets inmediatly mogged by the new baddies,
>>286203480Try visiting to an actual shithole next.
>>286204510H-He's fast!
>>286204529>TRIGGERED
>>286204631The first of many Miu bodysuit explosions
>>286204550this is actually really impressive though I guess it was mainly him just getting taken totally off guard
>>286204476wow, seeing one of the masters actually get hit is unreal
>>286204631>>286204641SEXO
>>286204118She's giving him the look
>>286204696>hair downholy sexo
>>286204684Miu I know you're right, but you're the one that manages the budget.Negotiate a price and get some extra repair funds for the dojo.
>>286204550>Ken managed to touch a Master-level opponentHOLY SHIT
>>286204164perfect timing Apachai
>>286204631of course the french man does that to an underage girl

>>286204275SAIDO CHESTO!
>>286204808hol' up, Akisame, wasn't this your idea?
>>286204311Miu's not #1 to me, but I do love the outfit.
>it's a My First Errand episode
>>286202750>The One Piece is the hot sexy girls we meet along the way
>>286203281Oh shit, I remember this part. It actually got animated in an OVA, though they did change some parts.
>>286203869They're siblings!
>>286204380Yeah, but you'd think if the anime did well, you'd license the manga as well.
>>286203894Get down, yureru mawaru fureru setsunai, kimochi!
>>286203907What do you know, they are actually siblings.
so who IS the strongest ryozanpaku master outside of hayato
>>286204750ATATATATATATATATATATATA
>>286204970sshhhhhhh
>>286204739https://youtu.be/spwTDpJ0-eY?si=
>>286204432I don't remember Ogata's age, but it was back before they joined.
>>286202699>Good art >Cute girls>Interesting premise >Insufferable protagonist I tried to get into this manga but the mc is worse then fucking Shinji . I don't know how you people manage
>>286204970It's a silly question unless you're just looking for raw numbers that don't mean anything, like who can bench press the most.
>>286204466He woke up on the retard side of bed.
>>286203935Kenichi is very practical at handling this. Sanji however, is just pissing me off to no end.
>>286204994He's pretty good actually, he's a good mix between flawed (keeps him relatable) weak (keeps him human) strong (makes him impressive) and nice (makes him rootable-for). Only knock against him is that I guess he's a little generic? But his goal (become strong enough to make Miu fall in love w/him) feels more unique than normal IMO
>>286204994>Insufferable protagonist
>>286203317>>286204413>>286204589It was A-Bout! Thank you so much!
>>286203312KUNG FU PANTS
>>286204631It's always the Fr*nch who do this.
>>286204239Because Matsuena is great at switching up between humor and seriousness. Dunno how he picked it up or who taught him, but it's easily the most impressive parts of his works (besides the TnA)
>>286205027>Bye, grow up, okay?<3 Apachai
>>286204994Good news, he gets sidelined in favor of the masters and other members of shinpaku a lot anyway.
>>286205082woah relax Shigure...
>>286204118Phew, I can still pass as an onii-chan.
>>286204217btw, Mycroft was the villain for the prototype's version of this arc. It has one of the few good jokes that weren't brought over to this version of the manga, where Kenichi shoots Sakaki by accident with a pistol.
>>286204994could be worse. at the end of the day i think the bads and the goods balance themselves. beside there's a big main cast, the manga isnt centered only around kenichi, which make it easier to excuse his lame moments.
>>286204727They're like two whiny brats...
>>286205066For those unaware, the thing next to the lunch box is a pack of cigarettes, which is the standard to measure against Japan uses when showing the size of something, because someone decided that pretty much everyone knows how big a pack of smokes is.
>>286204192Fucking based.
>>286205077Hopefully he still good at it, i wonder if his Sora e... manga is any good did it get axed for him to decide to make new Kenichi ?
>>286205082
>>286204750>>286204761>>286204774>gets folded the instant Sakaki stops holding back Why do I get the feeling Yami only continues to be a problem because the Masters can't be assed to just get rid of them.
>>286205117>>286205131(ˊᗜˋ*)و
>>286204232>when we suddenly tried to kill him, he counter attacked by burying us alive in a desertThere's nothing wrong with that.
>>286204726Sorry Kazzy
So how do you do these storytimes OP? I've been perusing this site for 14 years and never really figured it out. Is it a bot or are you manual?
>>286204739Only Sakaki gets to do that!
>>286204641hair down Miu SEX
>>286204802The forces of evil foiled and an arms dealer redeemed. Kenichi got a big win.
>>286204217>MycroftI find it funny that he brought during the later arc
>>286205206I've always done them manually
>>286204856Kenichi is the only source of entertainment they have...
>>286203678From what I heard, Savate was made when the French government outlawed swords, which led to people developing hand-to-hand techniques. The kicks specifically came from sailors who would use their hands to grab onto ropes or railings, forcing them to weaponize their boots.
>>286205231I assume you have a pass?
>>286204529He's feminine enough for Kenichi's taunt to be effective.
>>286204886Guys, please don't bug Ken when he's at school.>>286204909Apachai continues to be a Disney princess.
>>286204899Just casually references his sad backstory.
>>286204922>>286204933This city is fucking dangerous.
>>286205273m-me too shigure-san please!!!
>>286205273Shigure should have more conversations so she doesn't accidentally say such suggestive things.
>>286204611Big mistake, he's used to slow and painful.
>>286204994Ken is cool though.
>>286204432Only Shigure is younger than himIt seems the 3 were already masters when they joined the dojo (I think they all became masters quite early), unlike Ogata/KenichiOr... it could simply be because they were NOT trained by Ryozanpaku masters at time (Elder/Ma/Doraemon)
>>286205328you know, i'm 100% sure by now miu got thinner and shigure plumpier since the early volumes.
>>286205328Drawing Miu and Shigure side by side is a mistake. Shigure always mogs Miu.
>>286205156There are tiers within the master class.Only the top brass of yami are on the same tier as the ryouzanpaku masters.
That's that!Come back tomorrow if you want to hear Shigure's backstory!
>>286205231shigure sex
>>286204994C'mon he's pretty funny.
>>286205027I wonder what lessons this baby will take from this experience.
>>286205359Oh yeah, Miu got nerfed hard
I remember Kenchi's fanfic switching Kenichi out with Naruto here and the French guy with Asuma. Been years since I read it. Don't know if holds up. Like the manga, it goes downhill after Ragnarok is gone.
>>286205371thanks for the dump
>>286205371thanks op.
>>286205066The lunch, it turned to ashes!
>>286205371Danke. Always wanted Christopher to be a reverse trap. Alas.
>>286204899>My First ErrandKek.
>>286204066>battle of the twin towersWhat year was this chapter made?
>>286204061No, just fr*nch
>>286205183I think this is probably the nicest and easiest form of training Akisame has engaged in recently.
okay, so maybe Yami is ancientbut do we have any indication that Ryozanpaku predates the Elder? how can they have ying-yang relationship?
>>286205491I already said pure evil.
>>286205511meant to reply to >>286204656
>>286204656So Yami are just a bunch of murderhobos. Seems kinda pointless to create an organization if all they want to do is fight to kill.
>>286205212Ah yes, the anti-Ma measures.
>>286204432I don'r think sakaki, shigure and apachai were around when Ogata was planned to become their disciple.I think only akisame, kensei and elder were going to train him
>>286205538sometimes you just want some bros to talk about common interests.
>>286205263Kenichi is like a little puppy sometimes. No wonder people think he's cute.
>>286204056But muh second amendment
>>286205202Why is she pointing her butt like that?
>>286205273Follow her Kenichi!
>>286205371Thanks OP.
>>286205591Counterbalance
>>286205082>>286205231>>286205273BOOBA>>286205371Thanks the manga feels like it's changed from highschool delinquent battles to focusing on Kenichi's masters.
Where the fuck is Renka? I get that she's Kenichis side piece but she really should be getting more content.
>>286205371Thanks.
>>286205538There's actually another path for murderhobos.
>>286205575another step forward.
>>286204244>>286204250Is he talking about the 400 blows movie? It been like 2 decades since the last time I saw it, I don't remember shit about the movie.
>>286205511Ryozanpaku is a Japanese reading of Mount Liang from the Chinese classic Water Margin.It's supposed to be a place where 108 legendary heroes of justice banded together. They're demons who got kicked out out from heaven then repented and got reborn as heroes of justice.
>>286204435Pussy bulge sighted
>>286205371Thank you for the dump anon. >>286205639I think she might appear next volume.Either that or just the other Chinese girl
>>286203266Kongou Banchou, I think. I fucking love that manga. Delinquent battle royale.
I don't get why Christopher things he gets to fuck around whenever he throws Sakaki out of some window. This happens TWICE and both times he just takes his time. Surely he knows a master won't die just from getting thrown out a window and the clock is ticking.
>>286202850Kek. Funny manga.
>>286203324He shouldn't need to worry about it taking bullets though. If he gets shot, it means he's still a weak bitch.
I remember some anon saying that Manhwa "taking the mantle of High School fighting genre" but does he even realize that all the good fighting manhwa on the same vein as Kenichi came out like 15+ years ago
>>286203524>Sakaki went brawling around the worldI wonder if he ever fought Russel Crowehttps://youtu.be/UKfi-km-U9w
>>286204656>if it's money you want, I'll pay anythingAs we see later in the manga, this would have actually worked.
>>286205807>but does he even realize that all the good fighting manhwa on the same vein as Kenichi came out like 15+ years agoWell thats simply not true. Lookism is still ongoing. The Breaker was trash btw.
Trying to catch up, I've come to a realizationKenichi lives in a Fighting Game Franchise world
>>286204674I think that time against Number 20 counts as the first.
To answer the favorite character question from last thread, for me it's Lugh, weirdly enough. He left a really strong impression. Kii Kagero is a close second but I will die mad over how he was killed off in the final arc.
>>286203416>>286203465>>286203576Unfortunately, to Kenichi's sorrow and despair, dozens of others material artists say that he has no talent
>>286202699>very subtle cameltoe
>>286204032She's turning him into an artist. A performance artist.
>>286203416Nah.For the masters, Kenichi is basically a challenge run in raising a disciple, like those videos on YouTube where players who know everything a game try to complete it with 1 in every stat or no equipment or whatever.That's part of why they enjoy it.
>>286205933It got torn apart but didn't properly explode like it does for the rest of the series.
>>286205918This is th first time I enter a storytime thread and see someone declare his horrendous taste loud and clear
>>286205918>Lookism >Good I thought this is a Kenichi thread and not another Korean shilling thread
>>286204204cute butts
>>286205918Gook, this is a Kenichi storytime thread. Not another thread for your kind to cope with the fact that your industry is falling off like everyone else
>>286204970>ryozanpaku master outside of hayatoAkisame.
>>286205731An important thing to remember is that it was ancient Chinese justice so they still included cannibalistic murderers as heroes
>>286202867Shigure casually flashing Kensei
is Shigure on the spectrum?
>>286204589>>286205055Hey, this is fun. Thanks.
>>286205622>Thanks the manga feels like it's changed from highschool delinquent battles to focusing on Kenichi's masters.It did
>>286206429TUNE IN TOMORROW TO FIND OUT!
>>286204808<3
I sort of feel like Matsuena ended up liking Shigure more than Miu by the mid point of the manga, even the main girl in Kimi Wa 008 ended up feeling a lot like Shigure. Not that I'm complaining of course.
>>286205371Thanks for the dump, Magister!
I know I'll have an unpopular opinion but I didn't like Loki's fight, it was full of bullshit
>>286206656Loki? Did he ever even really fight?
>>286203007>mentioning another martial artist apprentice namethis is basically NTR
>Ragnarok arc ended>Still reach bump limit within 4 hoursI thought you guys hate the later part!
>>286203245He meant gambler, right?I could definitely see him gambling non-stop when not income
>>286206934Sakaki is a pachinko chad
>>286206801While Ragnarok was the peak for a lot of people (and I kinda agree), there are plenty of good arcs before then.I don't think there's a true fall off until sometime after the DofD arc.
>>286203697oh, the guy was still there. RIP
>>286207076>Ragnarok was the peak for a lot of peoplei liked the early sol comedy arcs better than ragnarok.
I like the entire series except the (presumably editor-enforced) mad dash towards the ending at the very very end.
>>286205622Ragnarok was kill for the time being, and no new enemies are around so Kenichi has some time to "relax"
>>286207249>relaxaka train to death
>>286206367cannibalism can be heroic
>>286207207Same
>>286205937so you like lanky creeps
>>286203927Imagine if Kenichi ever had to seriously fight Castor
>>286203935>Shigure taught Kenichi hojojutsuKinky
>>286206606My God
WoW was huge when Kenichi was ongoing and I remember likening masters to max-level characters.Underleveled characters just have no chance at all even when they're just a couple of levels under the cap, and even reaching that is just the basic minimum requirement for accessing high level content.
>>286207207I don't think the author was happy with how it ended either, which is why he's continuing it
>>286204261well, if he didnt want to be targeted he should not become a Merchant of Death in 1st place. sooo.
>>286204311Cute Miu, sex!
>>286203007Kenichi simply didn't think the attack of a woman was worth dodging.
>>286204367Miu has balls.
>>286205316Ya, having an innocent giant walking around sure is danger
>>286206699I saw it the other day, and I definitely remember him throwing some punches and maybe even a few kicks, but you could put a gun to my head and I couldn't tell you what his actual martial art is.
>>286205156Master is a REALLY BROAD definition. The only Master that counts are Ryozampaku and the "Leaders" of Yami. everyone else is practically just buffer Zone
>>286204774https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXZFbGJxSlk
>>286207207I remember being entertained until the late 300s early 400s (or something like that) where I got kind of bored, but I remember getting back into it when Hongo had his arc.
>>286205371>>286205575Thanks OPAt least it doesn't bounce back!
>>286207372I remember comparing Kenichi characters to anything else I was reading/watching for a while.
>>286207615He has some karate skills, that's about it
>>286207634Even amongst Ryozanpaku there's a huge gap between Shigure and the Elder
>>286207703There is a big gap between The Elder and Every other living thing in the planet ( Minus 2)
>>286205156>>286207634The ranking basically goes:>normal person>beginner>disciple>upper disciple>expert>low master>mid master>high master>grand master>complete monsterThe masters at Ryozanpaku and the top tiers of Yami are all Grand Master class. Christopher Eclair is High Master at best, strong enough to give a grand master a run for their money but is still outclassed.
