Chapter 129: IronbreakerArchive:https://desuarchive.org/a/search/subject/daily%20kengan/start/2025-12-14/order/asc/
Chapter 130: Kick
>>286547720>niko style adamantine kata: ironbreaker>it's just a punch>"b-but it's adamantine kata. that means you harden your fist before striking"you mean like any other regular punch?
>>286547572>Removal on your eyePlease explain how that would improve your sight instead of, i don't know, making your eyes explode from sheer pressure instead
>>286547881There's no pressure since it's Removal, not Advance. No increased bloodflow or muscle tension or any of that. Removal is a mental technique.
DONE
>>286547932>HeartFujoGODS, how are we feeling?
>>286547658Daro kinda wilded out for this fight, I really like it
>>286547586>Had to call in the entire clan to try and kill one dudeThe Kures are absolutely pathetic and it feels like that was supposed to be a running theme for a lot of the book
>>286547769Surprised there isn't a Niko style named technique for a kick to the balls
>>286547560How the fuck did he install this without Kazzy noticing?
>>286547932>foreshadowing in my Kengan
>>286547514>Anonymous Forums Kenzo uses 2chan LMAO
>>286547924Nta but removal lets you use your latent muscle strength. So she should be using it on her eye or something. But how would that help your eye or focus? Also I am eating right now and when I chew a sharp pain flares up just over my eye. Like in my eye socket, probably my superior rectus muscle or something, but why?
>>286548086Kazzy was a black company corpo slave. Dude probably spent days at a time sleeping under his desk between the 18 hour shifts
>>286547649I can't take this panel seriously after the Deku meme.
>>286547822>Entire audience is hexing himIt's over
>>286548224The what now
>>286548224funny how the two memes panela look so similar but are like 200 chapters apart
>>286547550Alright, how the hell did he install that shit without Yamashitakazuo noticing?
>>286548119The eyes do have muscles but that only helps with stuff like tracking. The Kure clan just have freakish mutant eyes.
>>286547586If I see this, I'd think it's some kind of cult wearing edgy contact lenses.
>>286548119Sandrovich wrote an entire chapter about it.You should give Danberu a try.
>>286547784just flex your muscles for explosive power bro
>>286547550>>286547560Hilarious that Kazuo has no idea that this defense system exists.
>>286547769Which kata is used with the groin kick?
>>286547812I got deja vu of Agito going limp.
>>286547720>chapter is called kick>starts with a punchwhat did sandro mean by this?
>>286547586Did grandpa really have to call in the whole clan? This is embarrassing desu
>>286547914Bullshit, his balls should be bust at least.
>>286548479>You should giveNo, I don't care, I found its synopsis boring more than half a decade ago and none of the panels I've seen since have been funny or intriguing. Anyways I doubt the manga wrote about my shitty jaw joint. My "dynamic tracking" is more than enough fine.
>>286548727He admits that one got him but only as an aside in the panel text.
>>286548479Fuck off shill.
>>286547602I love old man being wheeled in for murder. its these dumb panels that are the most enjoyable part of the Kures, the dumb casual stuff.
>>286547514Strongest sneakiest assassins in the world.
>>286548119Maybe get it looked at, without examinating you it could be a ton of different things.
>>286547602How big is this clan
>>286547769Not passing on the kure genes anymore.
>>286547822Ohma really was like fourth weakest first round lmao, everyone is in shock.
>>286547769fucking gnarly. I'm surprised Raian didn't vomit
>>286548835Nah, on further research I think it's a symptom of my TMJ. It was a minor pain and is already gone now anyhow.
>>286547822>that Setsunalmao
>>286547613I know people here hate the Niko style and Ohma but this is still one of my favorite fights in the whole series
>>286547769One of my favourite Raian faces when he's in pain
>>286547873Wheelchair guy on the top of the house is great
>>286547840STOP SPAMMING OHMA, THE DATA FRAME IS NOT THAT GOOD.
>>286549056The Niko style can actually be really fun I think it's when stuff is just spammed that it's not. I think the issue is stuff like Ironbreaker which is basically a named punch.
>>286547914I like this page. It feels like Raian without the 'anime filter', like that is what he'd actually look like in person. Rather than the artistically enhanced ogre that we normally see in the manga.
>>286547536>nobody's injuredMy merciful clan of assassins...
>>286547932Have they sent in a Kure to seduce Waka yet?
>>286548978Reassuring. Cheers.>>286549459It was Ohmawank. It's always been nothing but Ohmawank. Ohma is the only man pursued by women in this manga.
>>286547638My cute wife (male)>>286547712>Kyra GracieNot bad...
>>286547822Too strong, you say?
>>286549056I think it's less the Niko style and more the sequence and exchanges of blows that are really well drawn. That one-sided beatdown Raian took felt absolutely brutal yet masterful. Especially following the sort of Koshi Guruma with a soccer kick. Almost looked like an execution.
>>286549530Now that is a proper hottie.
>>286547649too silly
>>286547840>naming fucking everythingNiko style is so goddamn goofy
>>286547947Thanks OP
>>286547833Guess you can say he scaled the “wall”.
>>286549636If I had to create a martial art style from zero i would give every single attack a unique name to make it seem cooler. thats actually very in character for Mukaku
>>286549056Ohma in general has pretty cool fights, the niko style is just not a part of why that is and sometimes straight up ruins stuff.
>>286548862I take it that if you're going to try and play eugenics for supreme tough guy genes then you'll be wanting to pop out as many babies as possible until you produce a cream of the crop to do it all over againSo there's tons of Kure who are sort of tougher than a tough guy but none that are really impressive that make up the bulk of the Kure Clan>>286548954Ohma struggled against a guy with less body weight then him and needed a transformation to turn the fight towards his favor, I don't think anyone really thought much of him
Is there any round 1 matchup Inaba could have actually won? Maybe Rihito but you could also argue razor edge be a hard counter to him.
>>286547536Henzo looks like a fan of Chrollo
>>286550126Cosmo probably, unless he got caught with an early grapple
>>286547586Talk about overkill
>>286550126Adam, Cosmo, Mokoichi, Sawada, Rihito, Nezu, Chiba, Kaneda.
>>286547712Guy really shrank 20 cm
>>286547769Looks like Raian won't be passing on his thoroughbred genes
>>286547840Raian culo
>>286547914>>286547921>Kure Style: loldidn'thurt
>>286547914Kure Family Tradition: lol Didn't Hurt
>>286550126Do you mean R1 losers or R1 winners? R1 losers he could beat almost all of them except Rihito and Kiozan (him vs Okubo is a tricky argument). R1 winners, he's a threat to Cosmo, Muteba, Saw Paing.Honourable mention - he's a huge threat to Hatsumi if Hatsumi isn't in peak condition.
>>286547658Because two men... would emit more???
>>286549056I didn't hate it and him, I only hate it when Ohma going schizo with the Niko in his head
>>286547784Yes, but it's now a named technique.
>>286547822Feels like Seki shouldn't be surprised and reacting here, he fought the guy.
>>286550981he should absolutely be reacting because Ohma is way stronger here than he was then.
>>286549313To be fair you wouldn't want paramedics swarming the place. But now that I've said that you'd still expect cops...
>>286548336Probably when kazzy was off on a business trip or something.
>>286547921Are we implying that the Kures in general (Since this is unrelated to Removal) just get to be better at tanking hits than Saw and Seki?Like yeah, Seki still takes the damage, but surely he can do at least as good as a Kure?
>>286547602Ganbare wheelchair grandpa!
>>286547629>>286547638Damn, he's too strong
>>286547698Would be really funny if this somehow killed him
>>286547769Erioh seething right now
>>286547822I love Setsuna fanboying over him
Hey, do you all remember how Kazzy was unique and had a 1-in-a-billion "Tiger's Eye" trait that Nogi, his CEO, recognized and made him much more valuable for (but without telling him) and that his miraculous trait can decide the entire outcome of this very important proxy-fighting tournament?Me neither.
>>286550981Ohma didn't even really damage him, dude had to go for Seki's wind pipe but he got up 3 minutes later and already understood what the hubbub. Dude probably woke up 2 minutes early but really wanted to sell his loss because he's so dedicated to pro-wrasslingSo seeing the guy who was pretty good but was still sort of a shmuck doing way better than when he fought you should be a surprise for Seki
>>286547840>when you learn one easy to execute move and then invite your friends over and spam it
Isnt Raian one of the most important character in the manga?
>>286549155Also makes him look scarier imo
>>286551116It just means that the Kure can be born being just as tanky as Seki and Saw who had to train to be that way, which means Seki and Saw are still as tanky as a Kure if not more so than an average Kure
>>286551116No, Saw and Seki are top tier tanks, but they had to work hard to get to there (Seki had his hellish training and Saw had the braincells knocked out of him since he was 5), whereas kure are just tough as shit by default. A top tier like Raian even more so.
>>286551116Kure are the best at everything, and if you don't love the Kure clan your "heart" is "evil".
>>286547932Waka charging up his ki
>>286547947Thanks op. I can't believe ohma is about to have a heart attack
How strong would Yor be in the Kengan world?
>>286550833I think Okubo wins. Despite it all, he's pretty strong and probably would also go to R2 against any other loser at least bar maybe Kiozan.
>>286551116Seki is probably better than a mook kure durability wise but his body is a normal human body, theirs doesn't even qualify as human. It's basically a completely different body composition. Saw is a bit different, specifically his head and bones are extremely strong but a Kure is more durable all over. So their skulls aren't as reinforced but their body durability is better
>>286547712
>>286551413Okubo could beat Kiozan by dragging the fight out in grappling exchanges that Kiozan wouldn't be able to handle. Inaba is actually a bigger threat because his hair is basically an insta-win on anyone not strong enough to break it and not fast enough to consistently evade it
>>286551380Basically femWaka, maybe more skilled
>>286551427yeah it's always been a bullshit statistic. What's really funny is that Karelin is something like 700-2 in Greco-roman wrestling and that statistic is *not* bullshit.
>>286551465I feel like some fighters should be able to resist his manipulation more, like he can't just toss them around the ring. Even if they can't make him budge because of his supertoes they could still charge straight at him
>>286547572Is it wrong if I want a hypercompetent bitch to kill me with her bare hands?
>>286551547If it is wrong to be killed by her thighs then I don't want to be right
>>286551543the really super-heavy guys should be but a lot of the super heavy R1 losers like Haruo or Kano aren't smart enough to see through his phantom footwork like Ohma was.
>>286548277Deku beat a so-called "street tier" fighter (powerscaling terms) in Death Battle (a fan animated series about making popular characters fight each other). I think it was Spiderman or something.This was very infamous for some reason, so this picture of Deku accompanied with a caption like "when you spot a street tier" went viral.
>>286547698This is a great chapter ending.
>>286547785I love how wild Ohma is going at this. Such a great fight intro
>>286547947What is the last panel foreshadowing?
>>286549511we've seen himuro successfully pick up chicks a bunch of times
>>286551380Where do you scale Chun Li from the crossover?
>>286550311Inaba vs cosmo would be hot
>>286548119This is obviously a temporomandibular jaw issue.
>>286551866*temporomandibular joint issue
>>286551494>700-2887-2. Guy makes Waka's record look like a bitch. Also kept fighting even when heavily injured>At the 1988 USSR Championships, Karelin won and also defeated Igor Rostorotsky in a rematch, despite suffering from a concussion and high temperature. He won the 1993 World Championships despite breaking two ribs in the opening bout against Matt Ghaffari. Another injury occurred at the 1996 European Championships in Budapest, as he had torn the right pectoralis major muscle so badly that doctors predicted he would not be able to use his right hand for several months. Karelin won the Championships, but he had to be urgently operated on in Budapest. Despite not being fully recovered, he won the 1996 Olympics three months later. He has avoided multiple ear cartilage injuries of both ears, unlike many wrestlers.
>>286551866>>286551874Yeah that's what I figured. Though I keep forgetting about what it is cause I've had it all my life. Same with my fucked up eustachian tubes that pop 24/7, especially with jaw movement. I honestly assumed that it was a normal thing for the longest time.
>>286551943You should still consult with a dentist. Maybe you'd benefit from a mouthguard or something.
>>286551783>Yor is only equal to career jobber ChunnersNot a good look....
>>286547550This is some some Muv-Luv shit.
>>286547586You need at least this many guys to take on a Yamashita.
>>286547812That's good
>>286547822Setsuna is down bad.
>>286551547Hiyama...
>>286551764"thoom" is the sound Ohma's heart makes when he uses Advance.
>>286552425Is Hiyama into female on female ryona?
>>286547833>yet
>>286547769Niko style: that's my purse
>>286547914So why is it ok when Baki Hanma pulls off the loldidn'thurt shit despite being a 70 kilo muscle twink?
>>286550833>except RihitoLol. Inaba is crushing Lihito. His little cutting technique isn't going to deal well considering the surface area of his hair. He's no master of cutting like Musashi or Doppo.
>>286551647Deku pushed Miles Morales shit in. "Street tier" refers to more "grounded" fighters like Spiderman. To make matters worse, the animation made it so that Deku seemingly killed him by accident while telling him "you were awesome, Spiderman"
>>286551893To make it even more impressive. Both losses were considered controversial. His match that he was retiring on had him commit a foul (a rule was implemented that he wasn't used to) and then it gave his opponent a point so they then stalled as long as they could so they could etch out a win.
>>286552773I heard Maka stomping Ruby's ass made even more noise
>>286547586>>286547602Sandro just put the fights in the bag this shit is unbelievably stupid.>>286547769>>286547785>>286547796>>286547812There we go, that's the good stuff.>>286547873>Wheelchair on the roofnevermind thats fuckin' funny
>>286551218Omega retcons aren't canon anon and noone cares if you spoil it.>>286551647Wait fuck is this image Raian too?
>>286553129That's Raian right before his Alan match iirc
>>286552993Not really. Deku is THE bullying target of anime fandom. Everyone knew Maka would stomp but she doesn't have the cuck energy that Deku exudes.
>>286551173His baby rage if got knocked out and woke up in the infirmary would also be hilarious.
>>286551647>>286552773Deku was in a lose-lose situation.If Miles had beaten him, he would have been clowned on for losing to a street tier fighter.He beat Miles, and he still got clowned on for bullying a street tier fighter after losing to Asta in a previous Death Battle (who was more in his league).
>>286552993How do you recover from this shit?
>>286552993>Tanks all those hits with her faceIf only she'd gotten the "timing" right and landed "that throw"
>>286547536Fusui doesn't have demon in her epithet??? Does that mean she's fathomable
>>286552993Nobody ever thought Ruby Rose had a chance against Maka, the matchup was mainly to eventually honor Monty’s wish of having her be in a death battle. Miles fans probably bought into their capeshit character and seethed against a character that has been endlessly shat on among anime fans and normalfags.
>>286549114>See some scrub mashing a move that's minus as shit on block>The other guy isn't blocking at all
>>286547822He's got Julius AND Waka tweaking
>>286547881>>286548119Removal has nothing to do with the heart.It's purely neurological And your Eye is "connected" to your brain by your optic nerve.
>>286553605The win was becoming a meme that both sides could come together and enjoy which ended up cropping back up during the Reze vs that faggy explosive guy debate happened
>>286552048Why do people call Chun Li a jobber?
>>286547840What is this a koga fight?
>>286554249She loses in every single one of her appearances
>>286551380Karla level, i.e. supposedly strong but never does anything
>>286553678More importantly, do Kures come up with these chuuni epithets at family gatherings? There is no way every single one of them is famous enough to get one
>>286554704You probably only get one if you're worth a damn or really good at some niche shit>Sakura, the Sake Stirrer
>>286547731African or European swallow?
>>286555178Capital of Assyria?
>>286554907They probably have some mean ones. Like if you were a massive loser they would call you "The Prostrating King."
>>286547914There it is! He's doing it again! I don't know what exactly "it" is, but he's "doing it!" I think it's the caffeine-addicted squirrel from Over the Hedge he's been reminding me of with these strange, cartoon rodent-like faces
>>286541304Reminds me of this.
>>286547822>techniques can do THAT?
i'm almost done reading kengan ashura it's like baki with bit more messy art style and more comedy, but the fights are coolis it true that the second "season" stops being good after the first tournament?
>>286556052>after the first tournamentSomewhere in the middle of it actually
>>286555800You know shit got real when even Julius looks shocked
>>286556052I personally consider the end of KA to be like a nearly perfect, bittersweet tie-up of loose ends as well as there being a nice bookend / character arc conclusion for both Ohma and Kazzy. You can consider it as like the perfect end point if you just simply exclude the Evil is on the move... bs.There are some nice pieces of writing here and there as well as decent spreads and cool single pages. But in terms of quality its like peaks and valleys compared to KA being like a steady rising climb from a lower base. Your perception / enjoyment of it will definitely be skewed coming off of KA. Meanwhile for a long time now people, me included, just check in the weekly threads just to see whats going to be end of the cesspool that Sandro is writing. Rarely ever does it get taken seriously. You can choose to read the sequel, or not. It is your choice. But stopping at where KA ends is a fine one to make.
>>286553605The fact that the whole stuff degenerated from "Deku can only fight street tiers" to "Deku has JoJo powers that make him invincible as long as the opponent is on a street" was hilarious however.
>hmm maybe i'll buy some netflix and give the anime a go>try to sign in and see what prices there are>can't sign in, only get a mail sent>PRESS THIS BUTTON TO RESTART YOUR SUBSCRIPTION>no fuck off, i want to see your prices firstwill they really start me on a random tier list or can i log in normally somehow?
>>286547536I don't care about this conflict at all. It feels so forced and retarded.
>>286547796Weeping Willow does something else everytime he does it.
>>286547822Why is Waka shirtless?
>>286548954Ohma defeated Seki though, who had a really good showing in the KAT round 1.
>>286552667Because Baki is well-written, just not realistic.
>>286547947Thank you for posting.
Could LoLong have taken the 4chan servers?
>>286552993That's just embarrassing.
>So this Deku guy? Heard he's pretty good in a street fight. Well I'll be the judge of that!
>>286552667>so why is it ok when Baki Hanma pulls off the loldidn'thurt shit despite being a 70 kilo muscle twink?it isn't, baki fans have been complaining about that since forever
>>286549576>I think it's less the Niko style and more the sequence and exchanges of blows that are really well drawnI disagree, right now we're probably reading the best fight to showcase the Niko style without it being a total meme and actually being a style that still requires skill and execution. It's also drawn very well and we see things like a usage of Weeping Willow not just being an arm twist aikido throw (>>286547796) and Ohma or using flashing flame as a way to properly setup a counter instead of just blindly circling an outclassed opponent. Raian also makes for a solid punching bag which helped Mokichi's technical prowess shine through in their fight much like Ohma's skill is showing right now. Granted, we know what happens when Raian stops playing around so who knows how things will turn out next chapter.
>>286556473He's fighting within the next 2 matches.
>>286552667It's shit even when Baki does, Baki's lolididnthurt easily bogs down all his fights because it all ultimately ends up being a "JUST FUCKING WIN" scenario for him
>>286552667It's not, Baki's own fights are usually terrible post Maximum tournament. Pickle is the Ric Flair (Pic Flair?) of Baki and not even he could get a good match out of Baki
>>286547812same vibeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82-25SPLjmw
>>286556166Doesn't happen often.
>>286552773>Deku vs Miles MoralesI know Death Battle is dogshit but that is a cursed match up. Just the two most nepo baby characters
>>286554552Whoga? Who’s that? Some supporting character?
>>286556433People like the corporate side of Kengan but I think it's only good as a backdrop and Sandro was never good at writing something intricate or morally ambiguous. What made the manga good was the fights, characters' personal moments you could relate to, and a bit of humour didn't hurt.What I wanted to say is that Sandro's skillset is more suited for a traditional battle shounen where good guys beat up bad guys. Not even being dismissive here, a lot of people suck at that too
>>286562462Not what nepo baby means
>>286551218That was always just part of the ambience of the series, and Kazzy's vision never changed the fate of anything other than selecting Ohma's tournament seed (Ohma didn't even have an easy seed).
>>286563150Whatever, you know what I fucking mean, both characters are just fucking handed everything and even keep pulling new bullshit powers out of their assess
>>286554249Shadaloo still exists. Juri molests her on weekends.
>>286563710Being handed a power that instantly breaks all your bones is not being given everything. If Deku wasn't smart and willing to bear insane amounts of pain he wouldn't have been able to use OFA and would instead have just been a caretaker for the ability until he met someone that he could pass it on to instead.
>>286558705Baki fights rarely even try to pretend that they're grounded in legitimate martial arts or that their characters are bound to the same restrictions as human beings. When Baki goes lildidnthurt he doesn't insult the reader's intelligence by trying to justify it.
>>286563794>Defending Deku's lame assI mean at least you aren't defending Miles but still
Chapter 131: Change
>>286562636I kinda agree that intricate writing was rarely ever Sandro's forte. That being said, the CEOs absolutely do enrich the setting and Omega, which basically is the simple story about good guys beabe, feels much more shallow as a result.
>>286563989"We" are early
>>286564022Today I have other stuff to do later
>>286552993Rubes isn't even a high-level fighter in her own show
>>286563710I know what you mean but don't use inappropriate words
>>286564140Another troll face
>>286564180>the niko style misfired
>>286564191>>286564210I entirely forget why Tiger Niko is doing this shit. didn't he just punch the advance into Ohma then fuck off or something?
>>286564210>a price like dying a minute after you use your technique, could you imagine that lol I'd never train a loser like that>btw do you like indian burns?
>>286547602The clan memberd chatting about family stuff while they're preparing to ice a random guy is oddly endearing
>>286564299He isn't given a motivation in ashura and by omega we find out that sandro never thought of a motivation for him, he was just writing mystery boxes he couldn't deliver
Chapter 132: Heart
>>286564031HIGHIQian
>>286547649>SUPERMAN... IS THAT A STREET YOU'RE STANDING ON?
>>286564335But I thought the advance doesn't work well against physically superior opponents
>>286564127The scan quality jobbed this chapter.
>>286547687Blur looks like Ohma Culo lmao
>>286564309My son Fei can do this shit easy while pumping slow-motion brain death. You're kinda a fucking loser man. Anyways do you want to learn removal too?
>>286564399It's like one of those ping pong paddles with a ball on an elastic string attached to it
>>286547712Okay so he used to be a head taller right
>>286564450Old people shrink
>>286564468Thought Ohma had six fingers there for a second
>>286547712>1 KG heavier than Carlos
>>286564492Raian looks like a little boy about to be raped in the top panel
>>286564344Ah it "seems" Sandro attempted to "learn" the JJ Abraham's style of "writing", unfortunately he lacked the "skill" and ended up getting "Lost"
>>286547822It's been bothering me for a while but it's shocking how many times Daro just forgets that Sekibayashi has a tattoo in his face, like 60% of the times it's just not there
>>286564574Was Ohma naked?
>>286564083I like this page in particular.
>>286564641>that Karla faceIt's like she was looking at walking garbage
>>286564659I feel like removal emphasizes the veins more than advance, which is funny because advance is the one that boosts the heart
>>286564701Great face. Although wouldn't his eyes be red not black like the kure's?
>>286564728red doesn't exist in manga, sorry
>>286564054But where is the name card? This throw obviously has to be some kind of crazy kure tradition
>>286564735Kubo...
>>286564641>old man tells him to go all out>goes all out>that fool, he did it againThere is just no pleasing his uncle, no wonder Raian wants to rebel.
DONEOhma knows Gear 2 huh...
Enjoy the fight, anons. Its my favoriteUnfortunately its the one that kills Ohma as a characterNothing but stoic wholesome chungus after it
>>286564735>The HeartKUBOOOOO
>>286564779>cerebral hemorrhagingWouldn't that alone kill him?Big spoilers belowAlso funny how none of this other damage matters once they give him a new heart
>>286564814Thanks O-FUSUI SEXOOOOOO
>>286564757Lets assume overclocking the heart like that could be possible without instantly dying.Would it work like that?
>>286564779>Kazzy in panel 4cursed face
>>286547731I like the use of speed lines here to convey the motion with simple poses
>>286564910Probably not right? Or does having higher blood pressure give you a strength boost?
>>286565076As far as I know it only gives you painful headaches, dizziness and tiredness.t. boomer with hypertension
>>286564083damn he's palming Ohma's head like he's holding a ball
>>286565076Plus you need to actually breathe like mad for any of that blood pumping to matter.
>>286564910The elephant in the room is "generating heat that is converted into motion," which is dumb. Asides from that, if your heart was able to do that, it'd be a cardio/stamina boost provided you had enough oxygen in your lungs, not a strength boost.
>>286564180Niko Stylesisters....
>>286564492>Raian's perpetual troll face stopsgood shit
>>286564796Can't wait, hope the next MC is more interesting. They should pick someone like Cosmo or even Saw Paing.
>>286564335>Advance was made to counter RemovalIt's all a sham btw
>>286564127Ohma's face is pretty funny here
>>286547698>>286547720It's funny that Ironbreaker is like his bread and butter move and theoretically way simple but it only came into play this late>>286547796Oh, so now Weeping Willow is a real throw and not a magic aikido send-you-flying-harmlessly move?
>>286562636>>286564010He's much more suited to writing slice-of-life.A theme, a setting, some characters, and you've got some striking action with funny quips which ends on a joke THE END. Sandrovich can do that very well.A story? No.
>>286550981This Ohma would annihilate the Ohma that fought Seki, to be fair.
>>286547840Man, Raian is tough as shit. Like half the tournament would be dead by now just taking all this.
>>286547885>BAAAAAAKA
>>286555637>you have "arrived" at "schizophrenia"
>>286564735Can't believe I got KUBO'd in the year of our lord 2026
>>286547932AHHHH SOMEONE HELP WAKA HE'S ON FIRE
>>286564641SAYAKA SEX
>>286565806>A story? No.I wouldn't go that far, Yamashita and Ohma's personal stories is what Asura did well (Niko bullshit aside)
>>286556303It really was one of thr funnier spontaneous memes to come out of that area in a long time
>>286548954That's a massive overstatement
>>286564814>distant relativeYea-yeah, we get it, they're fucking
>>286565806One of the reasons this works is that Sandro is actually pretty good at keeping his verse consistent throughout his works. Elements and characters from one work turn up in a completely different context the next.
>>286566233powerscaling memes are usually pretty dumb but this, Megumi the Potential Man and someone using Maki's statement about only being attracted to people stronger than her in a shipping argument are proof that they can be really funny too
>>286564180THE NIKO STYLE ISN'T WORKING???
>>286562636I have to disagree, mainly because Ashura works in part because a lot of the fights feel like they could go either way narratively (even if the outcomes feel more obvious in retrospect) and making you be interested in both sides is where it shines. By contrast, Omega has clear "good guys" vs "bad guys" and Sandro can't even pretend not to have massive favoritism for the former so it ends up just boring.
>>286564860there are different types of brain hemorrhages
>>286564180The Niko style....is beat!?
>>286564054Hey, that's actually good form. Raian you fucker, you're holding out on us aren't you
>>286564083This fight really is peak Raian
>>286564335Don't fear the price.Fight!
>>286564102>>286564115>>286564127Excellent sequence. It's really cool how the beatdowns they administer on each other are so visually distinct.
>>286564180WakaGODS, the plan is working
>>286564210Is there anything more cucked than having a living student?
>>286564279Is his Ki moving all that dust and rubble and stuff?
>>286564814Why is Henzo wearing a sonichu medallion in his initial design?
>>286566324I think it's because he's got specific characters that he really, really, really enjoys writing.
>>286564814>named mob character>that hairstyle
>>286564735>HeartThere's just some words which create an uncontrollable laugh.
>>286567157Kubo "walked" so Sandro could "fly"
>>286564335Can you combine "Advance" with "Removal" if you're from the Kure clan?
>>286564279I know it makes zero sense but I genuinely love all the nonsense wih the Advance like the floating hair and explosion activation
>>286567282I guess but like why would you
>>286567282It would probably work, unlike the other combos with those two that oretty much just kill you.
>>286564442Add Fei to the list of Omega characters who kinda look like losers but would stomp the KAT if put there. More than a few.>>286564468>>286564492I'm actually buying this, nice.
Now that I'm decently familiar with the characters from Kengan, I'm wondering why the Baki Kengan crossover didn't have a Gaolan vs Retsu fight.
>>286567386I have to kill fast and "Removal" too slow
>>286564574You have "arrived" at "homosexuality"
>>286564597The "seeds" of Omega have always been there. At least here it's earned.
>>286564680Kazzy has super hearing along with his eyes, huh?>>286564701GOOD face
>>286567282Weeping Won't Hurt
>>286567475forget just the KAT, Fei could have stomped the entire KVP except for Waka
>>286567511If you wanna be fast go learn the raishin style like a faggot.Actually could a kure learn that style? Would have some insane results
>>286567724no because the Raishin style can't be taught to outsiders because they won't have the leg modifications
>>286563913It's how Baki's fights tend to be the same that's the problem>Baki fight someone>They wail on him for a bit>Either the Hanma genes kick in or Baki decides the other guy is overstaying his welcome>Then winsIt gets boring, especially when the other guys he's fighting are more interesting, like Retsu and Hanayama>>286564373Don't worry about it>>286564796This is genuinely a good fight, I know some anons dislike how unga bunga it is but I think the whole process of going from Ohma technique spamming to Raian's brutal thrashing to them both throwing haymakers is a good way to show their fighting style and mindset
>>286567386Hanafusa said they work entirely differently so I just thought combining them could multiply their effects and make you way stronger. Strong=Good
>>286567762>This is genuinely a good fight, I know some anons dislike how unga bunga it is but I think the whole process of going from Ohma technique spamming to Raian's brutal thrashing to them both throwing haymakers is a good way to show their fighting style and mindsetI've been appreciating it a lot more in this storytime but normally I dislike it because it just feels too different from the rest of the manga ATP, you've come off of Agito/Okubo and Akoya/Cosmo where you've got exaggerated depictions of IRL styles and a ton of mechanical depth and then these guys are just going super saiyan and it didn't help that Ohma had required the advance to bail him out in now *three* major fights in a row
>>286564796Ohma's going to DIE
>>286564735Kubo really was Sandro before Sandro>>286567716Waka too if he took the fight seriously from the start and didn't fuck around to show off for papa Tiger.
>>286567855Yeah it's definitely a different style of fight but it's still good. I prefer the more technical and/or emotional ones, but it's good to have variety and Raian makes for a good heel.
>>286568066no he's always going to have that problem, his issue was actually the same as here, using a super-mode that trades health for damage against someone super-durable is a bad idea, but he also doesn't have Demonsbane because it's a RN original so he doesn't have anything that can actually put Waka out except taking his form to the point where it kills him too.
>>286568110the thing is that the next fight is also that but a lot more satisfying to me, so this feels like it's trying to make them cooler than they actually are. Part of the problem is that even from early on Raian is shilled to high heaven so he can only disappoint whereas most of the other villains were built up more organically
>>286564335>Advance was made to counter RemovalSANDROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>286564001>>286564018STOP SPAMMING THE SAME MOVE.
>>286568284MAGIKARP, USE YOUR SPLASH ATTACK!
>>286567762I wonder if anyone's favorite baki fight actually involves baki.
>>286568270Raian and Ohma are two Chunni's trying to "Psh, nothing personal kid" each other in front of grown adults
>>286568715
>>286564018Devil Lance?!?!
>>286564378>at least twice as fast as round 1Powerscalers?
>>286564680Raian looking a bit penisy.Anyways, I think this immediately showcases the problem with straightforward super modes like this.>Both fight at base, one is winning>The other guy goes super Niko and starts winning>Doesn't matter when the fight is brought back to step one with Super Kurenetics
>>286569078Kure Style Technique: Dozen Madder
>>286556537>Because Baki is well-writtencome one, most of us love Baki but let's not lie here
>>286564102>>286564115>>286564127And that's another 10 points of brain damage for Ohma.
>>286564701ICONIC
>>286564140Kure techniques?
>>286564780He's only in the situation of needing to pull out the secret move because he fucked around and kept refusing to use the basic stuff.
>>286564701i remember when ohma was fun
>>286547769HANMA BAKI NO WAZA DA
>>286564665At Ohma or Raian?
>>286556303He's so strong he somehow beat himself.
>>286564814fellas is it gay if she was male in the initial storyboards
>>286547914Literally just the power of plot. Fighers take 0 damage from any and all attacks until the plot needs them to lose.
>>286547769the series finally paying its respects to baki
>>286547840>STRONG PUNCH STRONG PUNCH STRONG PUNCH
>>286569078He does look a bit like a flared horse cock yeah
>>286551317>and Saw had the braincells knocked out of him since he was 5This is still my favorite backstory for a character's unique constitution or skills in Kengan
>>286552667baki's fights tend to be the worst of his own series post maximum tournament, he either gets his ass beat due to not trying or actually tries and wins effortlessly, his saving grace is that he's a very charismatic character, so when well done one of his stomps get to feel cathartic/cool, but they are very unsatisfying on their own without that narrative context
>>286569666Demonically checked.
>>286569910>flared horse cock"Will you teach me your mount?""Neigh."
>>286569973But what if there was a higher obstacle to jump over
>>286570120I can't imagine he'd race down that track.
>>286564814>12 year differenceWhat? I remember him being early 20's.
>>286564180Maybe if you did more than throw punches.You're telling me that you couldn't Water Kata Raian all around the arena? The guy has worse form than Rihito.
>>286565195>>286565143I am now going to practice breathing, "absorbing" oxygen, while overclocking my "heart". Wish me luck as I try to kill "god".
>>286559439>not even he could get a good match out of BakiWhat? He has the best fight of the arc.
>>286564680>>286564701Hell yeah motherfucker
>>286570296When Sandrovich and HnG go on a spree and just keep renaming him Lihito or Kaolan, all I can see is some German guy running around screaming at some ceiling fan "MEIN LICHT" and looking at a cow from Thailand drawn by Gary Larson.
>>286570340>breathingngmi
>>286570359That's not Jack vs Pickle. Honestly Jack, Retsu and Katsumi get better character moments from fighting Pickle than Baki does>>286566317Funny how Henzo is a dude in his 30's but Sandro and Daro still depict his relationship with Fusui as if they're fucking anyway Although in Omega we're shown that there are Kure descendants in Brazil who don't have the eyes and can't use Removal so I'm guessing incest is a factor in the Kure family to maintain their freak gene pool
>>286570296>Maybe if you did more than throw punches.To be fair. Even as Ohma is regaining his skills and memories he still seems to focus more on everything but water kata as he's a punchman and not one for grappling. So Phantom Niko's assessment of his is still going to be lacking in water kata but also stuff like Iron fingers that he used in the dream sequence.
>>286564031Do Kure skulls also have extra padding to prevent concussions from getting rocked?
>>286570296Water kata is all about holds isn't it? I think you meant redirection kata.
>>286568996Ohma was a C-lister in Round 1, now he's B-list/low A.
>>286547822>Agito busting out his most powerful hex while not even fighting himselfHe REALLY hated Ohma...
>>286570619>>286570621I lumped them together, but yeah, I meant redirection kata. Raian is sloppier than Rihito and way stronger, so Ohma should be able to make the goon do pirouettes by redirecting his force around.
>>286570619I wonder if him being bad at water kata is intentional since obviously he's fighting Cosmo in round 3, who's the grappling prodigy.Maybe he can pick up something from that fight?
>>286564757The truth behind the advance... is that it's Gear 2
>>286564814I bet Raian raped Fusui a couple of times just to prove that he could.
>>286565681Cosmo already has enough plot armor without even being the MC
>>286570722Redirection works best against the kind of fighting style that Raian uses so yes he should absolutely be willowing his ass all over the place. Raian might have some way to counter it, but I'd like to see him actually do that instead of Ohma just not even considering using redirection on him
>>286570856>Raian>fucking a woman
>>286570722>so Ohma should be able to make the goon do pirouettes by redirecting his force around.Problem we're seeing is that Raian is just strong and fast enough to intercept Ohma before he can initiate a throw things. The only real time Ohma has had opportunity so far to use redirection kata is during and after hitting Raian with a barrage of blows and even that didn't end the fight when it would have against most other people. Raian was then grappling Ohma close range and throwing him into the ground constantly which kept him on the defensive and with the Advance his Niko techniques have been sealed.
>>286564814Whoa I didn't realize Fusui and Henzo had that much of an age gap between themHe looks like he's in his early 20s
>>286570899NTA but I can see him being like Colonel Volgin, getting off on inflicting pain on others and when fucking women exclusively using their buttholes
>>286552993Can't believe I didn't hear of this. If only /co/ mods allowed rwby generals.
>>286571619Why don't they?
>>286547698So R1 ohma would've been unable to dodge and would've had to tank I assume?
>>286569190LEG THRUST
>>286547840Was that a throat punch?
>>286547885Love this part of the fight, ohma got greedy
>>286547914The trick is he's a kure, what's so hard to understand?
>>286551116What part of eugenics is so hard to understand? I know this is forbidden knowledge in America but c'mon
>>286570884>The one time Ohma doesn't spam Redirection and it's against another guy who wouldn't be able to handle itThis is what Ohma gets for trying to bumrush the obviously sturdy fucker with fancy punches
>>286556052Stop's being good after chapter 50. Those who went insane are the ones who continued on into a purgatory of their own choosing. I don't know what path they took after that, or even if they survived.
>>286572080Heh, "purgatory"
>>286564127Damn Raian paid back all the damage without spending the same amount of energy did.
>>286564127Tuxedo Agito
>>286570884
>>286570884I don't get what that guy did there, did he just shove him a little when the other guy went way too into the big kick?
>>286564910Doesn't Luffy do this in one piece?
>>286571677Supposedly some SU mod got butthurt during peak rwby. Mind you would actually be banned for complaining about this on /co/ likely to this day.
>>286570980>Colonel Volgin, getting off on inflicting pain on others and when fucking women exclusively using their buttholesPretty sure it was implied that Volgin was using Eva as a pain doll to get hard then went off to fuck his not-Raiden twink BF
>>286568238Do we know for sure Tiger can't teach Demonsbane? I figured Fei was just overconfident in his Demon form, or that it had the same "no precise movements" weakness of classic Advance
>>286572804Demonsbane was #4's IP, learning it would make Tiger an evil thief like Yumi Chimpanzee
>>286572913Didn't he do his big betrayal when Gaoh took them all up into the forest to teach them Demonsbane? Unless he fucked them over before mastering the move he should have it.
>>286572348Yes, but he can do it because his circulatory system is made of rubber.
>>286547921>Pain and damage tolerance, enduring deep wounds>Born with a 'resilience' that exceeds human limitsIs Meguro tankier?
Captain KureI'm gonna guess that 4chan hates the spacing on that, and only one of the letters gets spoilered, ruining the joke.

>>286564701When Deku finds a street tier
>>286564796>me when the fighter I'm watching participate in back to back death fights for my own benefit and for others amusement has a risk of dying
>>286576425Risk of dying isn't quite the same thing as the doctor walking up and proclaiming that he's 100% gonna die and is nearly dead already.
>>286576456Even if you were the most callous psychopath the doctor telling you that is basically saying that the chosen fighter could just drop in the middle of the match and lose it all.
>>286568747The father-son fight is one of the greatest fights put to page.
>>286569167I stand by that opinion. Just because it is weird and doesn't make sense doesn't mean it isn't well written. Baki has its own internal logic, but it sticks to that logic ride or die. For the most part, anyway.
>>286576425It's Yamashita, of course that guy is going to get nervous sweats.
>>286574062...how did that happen?
>>286563794Brother, he became a demigod on the condition that he worked out regularly for a little under 2 years.
>>286572913>>286573312Sandro might be setting that up for the eventual Tiger Niko fight; someone will realize he doesn't know Demonsbane because he murdered the other Nikos instead of making friends with them like Real Niko. Come to think of it, it's strange that Waka wasn't on guard for Demonsbane during the Fei fight, considering it's the move Ohma got him with
>>286577199HE TOOK A BITE OF GUM GUM
>>286576632What logic is that?
>>286578613The logic of doubling down on your own bullshit, and the correct way to deal with absurd situations being to one-up the absurdity until it reaches an integer overflow.

>>286564010>That being said, the CEOs absolutely do enrich the setting and OmegaNo they don't Genuinely no one gives a shit about the plot this manga has outside of the matches. At best you'll only get people laughing at how retarded the Kure clan is.
>>286564716>>286564735>super transformations took the fight from kino exchanges to ATAATATATATA blur
>>286579511I did, the first time I read it. You shouldn't generalize based on your own experience.
>>286566324>Sandro is actually pretty good at keeping his verse consistent throughout his worksYou disgusting retarded nigger, we had TWO (2) fucking retcons and a stupid disprepancy in this chapter alone. What fucking consistency do you see?
>>286564153Hot
>>286579511Yes they do
>>286579556If it's main plot related it's more vulnerable to being retconned but I was talking more about his really good memory for small details and side characters.
>>286571869>Was that a throat punch?https://youtu.be/CVMJSQLGnZk?si=BMisr-WFS7syZPdY
I hate this fight so much
>>286577292The beach clearing was just to prepare him to accept the power, but then he still exploded all his bones whenever he used it.
>>286580537>his really good memory for small details and side charactersOh shut up, remembering details of your writing is expected, since he fucking put it in writing himself. No need for memory when he can just re-read his own fucking slop. I really don't get how this hack can shoehorn a character from X into Y and you'll cream your pants like Marvel fans.>>286580900Why?
>>286581253the beach clearing was under a year, then he spent about a year going to school and working out and could already fully control the power, at which point he was granted 6 other superpowers that came with no drawbacks at all.
>>286547947>you better get “trans” or I’ll kill ya
>>286579556He said the verse, not the plot. Why are you like this?

This is a kengan asura thread, ACK.
>>286581827to be fair while its bullshit the entire world goes thru an entire radical change in that same year, with all the students going from literally zero hero experience to renowned, historically significant saviours of humanity, so its a general pacing issue (which could've easily been fixed by just saying that each major arc took place in a different year of highschool but the author felt extremely commited to the first year underdogs dynamic for some reason)
Good thing the thread was close to dying anyway
