In light of recent sequel news I thought I could do with a reread

What 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 refresher
At a volume per day we should end a little bit after the new chapter has come out

There are new readers so please keep spoilers hidden, even if it's to gawk at your best girl's butt

Does Kenichi's "Kenichi" even work anymore?
If Apachai hit it then I think I know the answer

>>
>>
>>286248193
I'd say he's still pretty healthy
>>
>>
>>286248200
Kenichi's "Broads like you should be at home making me a sandwich and popping out heirs" verbal attack didn't trigger an angry response this time!

>>286248234

I can already feel the 'shift' in tone after Ragnarok honestly.

>>286248496
She really should've been introduced, like, a hundred chapters earlier for this "reveal" to carry any sort of dramatic weight. Maybe just flat out give her the garden club megane's role in the story.

Kenichi pretty much spelled out to her that he doesn't believe women are worth fighting

It's the old manga reading experience, minus a random watermark or extra bottom of page space for a mangafox hosting message. It helps make the good times feel much nicer, while also probably preparing us all for the pain of the future with how manga scans, translations, and typesetting has been moving recently.

Of course it's different. Kenichi's misogyny is unmatched.

Girl, what part of "defeating Ragnarok" you think is a hobby?

I feel like Ma Kensei and Akisame are kinda carrying Kenichi at the moment
The rest of the masters need to step it up
>>
>>286248922
Do it, it's kino.
>>
>>286248496
Cool evil eyes
>>
>>286249233
Like, what does Shigure even do for him?
>>
>>
>>286249233
Honestly Akisame and kensei do the heavy lifting while the other masters just teach him a cool move every once in a while.
>>
>>286249259
Whispers in his ear while he sleeps and sits on his back when he does pushups
>>
>>286249233
Kenichi doesn't want to kill or deal with weapons so there's not much the manchild duo of Apa and Shigure can do for him. But yeah, I don't know why he doesn't use karate more
>>
>>286249226
>cant hit girls but will break their arms with a lock
>>
>>286249233
He is focusing on restraing and both Apachai and Sakaki are more on the sure kill techniques

>>286249259
Non disclosed bondage training apparently...
>>
>>286249268
I heard some MMA guys talk about situations like this. There are times where people don't understand or care that they're in a joint lock and will just keep attacking, abusing your mercy, and in such cases a choke should be more reliable
>>
>>286249233
Karate and Muay thai just have too much striking that Kenichi can't use against a girl
So throws and locks are all he really has right now
>>
>>286249233
Don't diss the knee in the face! Shit's great.
>>
>>286249316
A proper woman only needs one arm to cook a man's meal, dammit, what does she need two for?
>>
>>
>>286249316
He's using it to restrain her but as >>286249341
says she doesn't care (probably because she's been raised for deathmatches) and Kenichi will release it rather than maim her.
>>
>>286249268
>>286249341
Yeah I've always hated the "get out of a joint lock through guts" trope in manga
In real life when you're straining against it like this all you're doing is increasing the chance to hurt yourself more
Incidentally this is why All-Rounder Meguru is the best fighting manga, because a guy who thinks he's hot shit because he busts out of a lock in training ends up torquing his elbow
>>
>>
>>286249369
>>286249384
this bitch needs anal correction. i'm sure miu can understand.
>>
>>286249403
All-Rounder also has the magical karate rival and his idiot field that makes people unable to properly punish him for fighting like he's in a kickboxing match.
>>
>>286249403
Ouch
>>
>>286249233
I've counted the number of really effective acts in fights and honestly, apachai's muay thai is what is the most useful to kenichi.
Since shigure is a vagina she have to stay in the kitchen. Ken Mc Mysoginist wouldn't take her training.

Sex with Renka
>>286248075
What the fuck is going on in this translation?
>>
I fail to see how breaking a woman's arm or slamming her onto asphalt is any more chivalrous than just punching her. I guess it's because Kenichi firmly believes a woman's pretty face is all she's good for.

Yeah, that's bullshit. Moves like this are called, "I know I'm the MC and have plot armor and won't be killed for making an absolutely boneheaded decision". Kenichi, you've had like 2 conversations with this girl in your entire life.
>>
>>286249469
>DON'T COME
He shouts, trying to steel himself as he discovers a new fetish with an angry pink twintailed girl's hands clenched around his throat.

Oh shit, I forgot about this fella. He doesn't get to bask in the glory of Shinpaku with the rest of the jobbers.
>>
>>
>>286249624
nigga, she's a woman, of course kenichi knew she would get all emotional and shit.
>>
>>
>>286249704
Because unlike the rest of those jabronis he actually beat Kenichi and so didn't get brainwashed/indoctrinated into the Shinpaku cult.
>>
>>
>>286249606
Why did the author feel the need to have 2 major characters with the same name?
>>
>>286249624
As she points out Kenichi has had her dead to rights and let her go twice, it's not just her kindness but her pride as a martial artist won't let her kill someone who spared her twice and is clearly a lot stronger than her.

This reminded me of the British drag queen that let a dog cum inside his ass (after the dog's owner had fucked his ass beforehand) and when the owner said "shoo, fido" he said something like "no, let him do it"
Btw, he didn't know he was allergic to dogs and supposedly died from an allergic reaction the moment the dog ejaculated

>>286249624
People like us don't understand the connection flower lovers have.
>>
>>
>>286249780
So Renka and Miu won't help when Kenichi's getting his ass beat right in front of them by an assassin, but they'll jump in a master shows up?
>>
>>
>>286249864
What the fuck anon.
>>
>>
>>286249903
Kenichi was not in serious danger and Miu could tell this was a winnable fight, the master is clearly on another level and a 3v1 is the only possible chance they have and they're still getting massacred.
>>
>>286249745
>It's over 9000!
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>286249975
YOU DIDNT EVEN TRY YOU FAT NASTY TRASH
>>
>>286250013
That isn't a good idea, knowing this guy could headbutt concrete without a scratch on him afterwards.
>>
>>
>>286249948
They're lucky he just wants to kidnap Kenichi.
>>
>>
>>286250061
doesn't this void the whole point of having one of their Yomi disciples kill Kenichi to prove that they're superior martial arts teachers to Ryouzanpaku?
>>
>>
>>286250026
>here's johnny!
>>
I've never liked Miu's role in the story. It just feels very tension breaking when there's an uber powerful ally just nonchalantly standing on the sidelines, knowing fully damn well that she could easily beat the ass of anyone Kenichi's struggling with but just deciding not to do so. Like, realistically, what happens if Kenichi narrowly loses? Big deal, Miu (or Renka) steps forward and immediately stomps a mudhole in Flower Girl and saves the day themselves?
>>

This guy just backhanded the shit out of hisbown daughter, he's clearly unhinged.
>>
>>286250137
Miu is strong enough to pull Kenichi's fat out of the fire against other disciples but clearly can't handle the masters at all so when the story wants her to not matter it just introduces one of them

Also she isn't that strong she got tagged by fucking Number 20 with a stun baton
>>
>>
>>286250137

she's strong but not master level. just because she's better than kenichi it doesnt mean she can just waltz in and score a win.

Kenichi, you've seen what "all their power" is for master class martial artists every day you hit mitts with Apachai. The fact that she wasn't decapitated from the impact should tell you that he held back A LOT.

As funny as I think it was he fucked off forever like he said he would after DESTROYING ken-chan.
I do find it a shame never joined the maincast since I think he is a pretty fun character.
>>
>>
>>
>>286251372
He's too strong. He beat the protagonist without trying. Didn't even need to kill him either. Wavy hair is his own protagonist.
>>
>>
>>286251308
Of course she is. Miu is her friend, Kenichi is interesting as hell with his crazy training, and they live together(how scandalous!), and now she's finally got an excuse to see where it all happens.
>>
>>
>>286251341
I'm pretty sure there are better ones, but it's a really good example and is quite an outlier at this point.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>286251410
I wouldn't mind a spin off story about him.

What the fuck is the uniform policy at this school if Kisara gets to run around in her semi-pants and Takeda is wearing something that clearly just isn't the uniform?

It is Kenichi's business though, since he's a disciple of Ryozanpaku. Unless you're saying the bullshit with Yami isn't his business too.

As opposed to them dying in a way that's convenient for her?

Apachai and Shigure can't do much given their moves are purely lethal. But even then, what few of Apachai's techniques Ken relies on usually end up being his go-to finishers just because of how powerful they are, even without intent to kill.

>>286249259
Stealth and poison training.

There are no techniques. It's a "system" like Systema. In other words, military guys selling bullshit that will get you stabbed. Imi Lichtenfeld knew boxing and wrestling. The bullshit about him being some sort of crimefinder is iffy at best.

Since we know that Sakaki brawled across America, I'd love to see some American masters. And with how many masters in this manga prefer to wear "traditional" clothing, I could see a gun master dressed like a fucking cowboy. Lasso and all.
>>
>>286252520
ken's dad in a cowboy outfit
he learned his trade cattleranching in america for a summer
>>
>>286252544
Nah, Kenichi's dad is less cowboy and more 80s action hero, just like Jenny's dad.
>>
I find myself imagining what the main cast of the Shinpaku Alliance would be like as adults, and all I can see is Siegfried growing a long thin beard like those Chinese masters in kung fu movies, and when he spins it gets wrapped around his head and muffles his speeches about the power of friendship.

I played a Kenichi-inspired pen and paper system online back around 2008-2011. We had a homebrew rulebook and a community of twenty-something players at peak. It was a shared universe thing with multiple GMs running different areas of the setting. You could make your own techniques, that was rad.

We even had some tournaments but I usually got my shit pushed in.
>>
>>286253360
lol what
>>
>>286250719
Is that Sougetsu or his friend inviting Kanou over?
>>
>>286253423
/tg/ shit and we clearly didn't know much about system design because it had some really abusable shit and took specialized Excel spreadsheets or at least a calculator to play it properly, but we had fun. Sadly the rulebook is lost media. It had like 200 pages by the end. It was a generic martial arts thing I suppose, but borrowed the bulk of terminology like Sei/Dou from Kenichi.

I remember I built a character entirely around stunlocking people with specialized low kicks.

What do you want her to do? Force him to use swords and kunai? Drag a bunch of weapon users into the story to shoehorn in another how to not get stabbed arc? Teach him some bullshit ki sword attack?
>>
>>286254017
Why do I feel like at least one of those is a spoiler?
>>
>>286254031
If it is I don't know anything about it. My only real exposure is a couple of these threads, watching it over a decade ago, and rewatching it now.
There's just simply only so much she can do when even teaching him defense against weapons doesn't matter against 99% of Kenichi's opponents and he never picks up a single weapon as far as I remember.

I only caught these threads like 13 volumes in so I'm way behind and can't comment on how it is adapted, but I've been having fun watching it even as someone that can't really stand watching shonen anymore. It's aged surprisingly well, QUALITY moments aside.
From what I remember it covers up to the major fight involving the blue/red aura thing but now I check it's actually been 20 years since I watched it for the first time so my memories are extremely vague.

Tell me about it, hearing the new season get announced activated me like a sleeper agent. Realized I've still been having dreams about getting trained myself by the crew even now and hearing the OPs in my head randomly without remembering so much as the title or main character. Weirdly for being a horney teen at the time I didn't remember Miu's outfit being so skin tight at all. All I remembered was the masters. I guess that means they all had good character designs?

Now that I think about it, in volume 2 Akisame noted how strong ants were and that Kenichi should learn from them. This ant's giving it his all. Kino parallelism.
