>>286592245Ohmabros... we aren't the vessel...?
>>286592178>>286592191Love the typesetting.
>>286592450>Kiryu is "undoing" Ohma's "shackles" by giving him physical "love"Sandro?
>>286592025>>286592040Ohma is lucky Raian didn't deign to unleash the full power of LEG THRUST
>>286592529I love the Nike Style!
KENGAN ASURA GAIDEN: Grandfather
>>286592620SEXO KARLA
DONEI think the typesetting was particularly fun during that last chapter
imagine hiring a tax advisor and its some black-eyed genetic freak from a modern day league of assassinsprobably the funniest unintentional bit of comedy in the series
>>286592245The page that launched a thousand theories.>>286592262The page that cemented Sandro as a retard. Who cares about those epithets. Does any japanese speaker know what "devil" stands for in the original version? Because>the devil destroys everythingdoesn't really fit our understanding of "devil".
>>286592491KINO.
>>286592491FUCKING PEAK
>>286592070Everyone in this manga has super hearing/mind reading
>>286592680Let's be honest he probably knows the best tax hideouts considering his targets/clients
>>286592109Cool page
>>286592644>>286592639god i hate this fucker the "tragedy" can't come soon enough
>>286592245AAAAAAAAA
>>286592491Juliusbros???? Our response???
>>286592122This is a bad Daro-ism but forgivable in context>>286592134And more than made up for here
>>286592122Im pretty sure this entire page in traced for a page in waka vs fei. exact poses and all
>>286592915>Techniques ecist to take down someone strongerTHE TRUTH, FUCK WEAK ASS FAGGOT TECHNIQUE USERS.
>>286592178>>286592191Now that's some good typesetting
>>286592245What a sick visual>>286592262This is some good edgekino
>>286592695Most of the Kure epithets are "X no Akuma", so "X Demon" is accurate. Raian's is "Majin", I believe.
>>286592350God these refs are fucking useless
>>286592464>That day... I didn't skip my neck workout>>286592491Yeah this is the good shit
>>286592590What a cliffhanger to end on. You finishing the fight OP?
>>286592695There are like 15 hundred different words for devil/demon/whatever in JapaneseIt's a nightmare for translators, just ask a Rance fan
>>286593255oh come on. he was actually gonna do his job this time. not his fault one of the contestants is a psycho. and now that I think about it, basically half the contestants are psychos, so this seems like more like a flaw in the system than the judge's fault.
>>286592262MY SKIN IS COOOOOOOLD
>>286592409I have always loved that Yamashita's powers of observation play a part here. The anime screws this up but Yamashita figuring out that Ohma has a way to win is key in the manga
>>286593255In a neat bit of world building it's that specific ref who sucks at his job because he's getting too old
>>286592262'Taboo Descendant' was better, who does he think he is? Broly?
>>286593565I highly doubt he calls himself that
>>286592178>>286592191Showing how far gone Advance has made Ohma's mental state by warping the typesetting is charmingly clever>>286592629>A Boyfriend or twoWould the Kure Clan be up for Poly relationships? For the eugenics, of course>>286593475There needs to be a ref who's strong enough to put the psycho's down when needed to
>>286592620*hits pipe*
>>286593599Raian is the exact person to call himself The Devil.
>>286594097But does he love metal
>>286593659>There needs to be a ref who's strong enough to put the psycho's down when needed toUsogui is calling your name.
>>286592350You just know that Metsudo refuses to staff the arena with Bodyguards intentionally just because he likes seeing shit like this where one fighter goes full mudermachine on the other.
>>286592464Fuck, when did Ohma start skipping neck day?
>>286593659They need to get Takayama as ref
>>286592491You mean shit like Redirection Style?????The literal fucking specialty that Ohma was introduced as being a master of?????That he was apparently too retarded to use against a complete caveman like Raian and instead tried to use brute force?????
>>286592529I need schizophrenic delusions that hype me up like this.
>>286593659>There needs to be a ref who's strong enough to put the psycho's down when needed toGod imagine a tournament where Agito is stuck on ref duty
>>286594291It'd be kino for a fighting manga to do that. Where the referee takes off his jersey at the end of the first round of matches and reveals that he was the big boss of the tournament all along.
>>286594154someone should storytime that. I remember I dropped it years ago when the hangman shit happened, but I think omega has damaged my brain enough that I'd probably enjoy it now
>>286593223>>286593353Thanks I'll do a bit of reading on these different sorts of japanese demons.>>286594258Kino is coming don't worry.
>>286594348That sort of happened in Shaman King with the announcer
>>286594348Not the best example but Shaman King kinda does that.
>>286592424>HE'S AS MUCH ON THE ROPES AS YOU ARE YOU CAN DO IT>....................................
>>286592070>hey whoever you are look, I can shoot lasers out my eyes
>>286592109Bottom two panels look memable
>>286592134How are their bones keeping up with this? I guess it makes sense for Raian
>>286592178Gives me KCD flashbacks
Darobros.... is he really a scammer? A con artist?! A fraudster?!? 'Evil'.....?
>>286592245I was gonna write a long joking response using omega context to comment on this but it's not worth the effort.
>>286592271No he doesn't, this is propaganda by Big Bible.
>>286592245I hate how much of a nothingburger tigger neko is despite how cool he is in Asura
>>286592334Wonder what the university chicks think of this. I guess they already know he's into Ohma so they probably assume it's that
>>286594680There was a storytime of it a few years ago I think
>>286594348The last year's champion is this year's ref.And then you have that character that's strong enough to have won but deliberately loses the finals every year because he doesn't want to be stuck on ref duty
>>286592409Based raging rook
>>286592491Julius suddenly feels very upset and doesn't quite know why.
>>286592529>become niko punch
>>286592350>telling the ref not to stop the fight even though it's a clear winLike Akoya, these sadistic chucklefucks just can't take the win, huh
>>286593350OP said he likes leaving them on cliffhangers in one of the early threads I think
>>286592390>>286593042daro saw that and decided to make it the official translation
>>286592629>damn I want a piece of that - reiichi
>>286592663Thanks OP.
>>286592680Wonder if some kure end up working shit jobs. Like some kure chick is just working as a cashier at a 7-eleven
>>286592409Based Yamashitakazuo!
>>286592464Thought that was Ryuki in the middle panel for a sec
>>286592491Then why do techniques work but not knifes and guns in this series?
>>286595597knives are for cooking and guns are for hunting, dumbass
>>286595597knives and guns are too strong to win
>>286592055What a face
>>286592055>>286592070I really like Raian as a heel and Ohma not even remembering him makes this tense fight a lot more distinct than if it was played completely straight
>>286592122Is this love?
>>286592178>His I mo- Dan Lions 332It took me a while to figure out what was going on here, but that's real creativity there.
>>286592166
>>286595597Knifes and Guns make you too strong to win.
>>286592545Niko is obviously the good parallel to black shadow telling Ohma to go advance, they even stand on the same side of Ohma's face. That said I'm not convinced black shadow was an entirely wrong influence in this fight.
>>286593565>freak born to a warrior race>his transformation is better than everyone else'sRaian IS Broly.
>>286592579Such a great cliffhanger. Chief's kiss and everything.>>286592620Why does Karla wear the leg bandages?
>>286595324I think the implication is that most of them work mundane jobs and only moonlight as "assassins". Only the topest of top tiers seem to actually be full time killers
>>286593659>There needs to be a ref who's strong enough to put the psycho's down when needed toI trust one day Sekibayashi will retire and move on as a referee as is true wrestling fashion, unless he does the same as his boss and also becomes a kengan member, though I dont think he has the brains for it
>>286592644Very cute
>>286595917Broly is actually fun though
>>286592656Subtle Karla muscle is my favorite part of Kengan
>>286595938>I trust one day Sekibayashi will retire and move on as a referee as is true wrestling fashion>Seki gets hit by some jabroni while reffing a shoot match>Proceeds to just utterly destroy both wrestlers
>>286595971Broly kinda sucks though. Look at Raian's fights, they involved some back and forth, Raian gets his shit rocked even if he ends up powering through it, he still gets hurt a little. Broly literally just deflects everything and it's really really boring, there's no sense of progression. He's at 100% HP until the moment he can be hurt and gets downed to 0% instantly.
>>286592092SHEEEHYA!
>>286595911Ohma would have gotten killed if it wasn't for advance because his brain damage wasn't sufficient enough to loop back around to fixing his brain yet. So yeah the dark schizo hallucinations gave him good advice, sort of.
>>286596006https://youtu.be/n7-OCH0GC1U?si=xpvxu4X2vQH4kWHBSekibayashi will become the kengan version of Earl Hebner
>>286595976Based taste
>>286592040>If I use a Kure techinuqLike, just any of them? They all immediately win?
>>286596079I think it ties well with Ohma's final use of advance+techniques. The advance isn't bad by itself, it's more than Ohma needed to incorporate it into his skillset rather than use it as a crutch. In the end this Raian fight is more about what "martial arts" mean than Ohma's specific brain damage situation I think
>>286595951I like to imagine he bugged one of the younger kure to show him how to set a custom contact pic
I was thinking how weird it is that the Kure openly exist in normal society if they're meant to be Underground Assassins but I imagine if the Kure are so plentiful and have been around for over a 1000 years technically way longer if you count the Chinese Wu's then it's probably something you can't really hide and also something that everyone else is used to if not every Kure is an assassin by tradeI guess it's just a quirk of Sandro's world I'm surprised Kure's don't typically appear in Sandro's other work sides Danberu even if Karla's Mom has her eyes closed most of the time, they must be pretty Kengan exclusive
>>286596138They're just a family with a weird genetic quirk like those people that look like Chewbacca
>>286596138They probably use colored contacts when off the clock or not with family since it probably puts off a lot of people when you're revealed to be part of a clan of murder freaks
>>286592271I hope Ohma went limp.
>>286592464>I remember who he isDo you? Don't you have an epiphany about that later?
>>286592262>the taboo descendant refers to an entire clanall of them are a taboo descendant? descended from what? and if its an entire clan is it really taboo? seems their features are rather common within their in group
>>286596324>descended from what?incest, duh
>>286594276They help a lot, I would know.
>>286595597knifes and guns are evil talismans that place a curse on people, they work, its just people aren't using them as intended (sneaking a bunch of knives into the backpack of the guy you are about to fight to make sure he loses)
>>286595121yes
>>286592040ohma wouldn't survive HEAVEN-SHAKING SUPREME FANG
>>286592318>Of 100 nobles watching, 0 were impressed.
>>286596345>taboo descendant epiphet is actually just cuz of people calling them inbred freaks
>>286592070Did they give Ohma's voice a special voice effect in the anime?
>>286596204It doesn't seem like they wear contacts, when those three Kure were patrolling the neighborhood it looked like every other normal person was completely fine with them despite their bloodline reputation, nor did that one High schooler seem bothered by Karla It really does just seem like a quirk of Sandro's world that everyone knows about the Kure but are perfectly fine with them anyway
>>286592464HE'S BACK!
>>286596324>descended from what? Some useless faggot named Wu Hei from China who doesn't actually matter despite the hype, importance and implications
>>286592350Refs are sucha joke in KAT
>>286592529Maybe the niko style ain't half bad.
>>286592663Thank you for posting OP!Posting the bonus stuff now!
>>286592639he's like me
>>286596685
>>286592629More like Gayichi
>>286596704And that's all!See you next volume!
>>286596685is this achievable natty
>>286596685Karla is horribly mogging Fusui here. Imagine the weight difference.
>>286596685Reminder that Karla's weakness is her butt
>>286592491I really like this shit.
>>286595833gachafags
>>286593475The problem isn't them doing their jobs, it's that none of the fighters respect themMurobuchi talked down to one in the first round and Akoya would have killed the other guy if he had given him the win too
>>286592491One of the best Kengan pages.
>>286596704Ive been reading this for years and only now through reading the character profiles i find out Henzo is supposed to be in his 30s even thought he looks like he's at best 15. What the fuck?
>>286596704cute
>>286596685>karura never got to fight in the kengan series
>>286596878The guy won the genetics lottery in a different way than Raian
>>286596685I was so distracted by the abs I didn't see the joke until I looked at the picture a third time
>>286596685Fusui is older so why is Karla more muscular?
>>286596939Its even weirder because he's older than Reichi and the same age as Holis but thats never brought up, not even a throaway line or anything. On one hand it makes me wonder if its a mistake, but on the other his original design in the drafts shows him clearly being older. Im focusing too much on a character that has like 10 lines in this entire manga
>>286595171Sandro clearly had plans for him as far along as KvP but then he made Shen and got new toy syndrome. Tiger vs Setsuna was a damn humilliation ritual, I've never seen a cool threatening villain lose all his mystique immediately like that.
>>286596704I know I shouldn't think about it too hard, but does the fact that Fusui and Karla are missing imply that >>286596685 is canon and is happening while they're out there partying?If yes why are they posing half naked and who are they posing for?
>>286596685>>286596704so them stripping in bed together is happening in real time??
>>286597131>>286597143This means that Lihito and Sasuke's CEO gf spending time alone was also canon...
>>286596766Fusui has an actual personality though
>>286597011"Fighter" vs gunslinger
>>286595597NOUHONORU!!!!!!!!!BANZAI!
>>286596477Unironically tho
>>286596685>>286575124
>>286595773What's love got to do with it?You know, typing that instant joke makes me realize that most of the posters on 4chan are too young to have any idea what that just referenced.
>>286596685That's one long torso. And cameltoe.
>>286592122
>>286597077Is this regarding Eva or something Kengan related?
>>286596138>Karla's MomShe better show up, soon.
>>286596704HNNNNNNHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGG
>>286596485Queen Brahne was impressed.
>>286597296To be fair this isn't a case of laziness here, this page is really meant to highlight this moment stopped in time where both demons are in awe and delight of this crazy entranced bloodbath.
>>286597273What is LOVE?
>>286597500Ohma, don't hurt me...You make me want to Haddaway.
>>286597342 I don't think she shows up here, she's more of a Danberu character than a Kengan character. She does show up in Omega but it's rare and brief
>>286592639>KARLA GETTING MARRIED???>NO I DONT WANT THAT
>>286592025Android 17 vs Piccolo vibes
>>286592529OK I cried
>>286592620Karla is a slut
>>286592816I'd believe Hanafusa has some wacky cyborg ears
>>286596685Raian was thinking of using THIS on Ohma?
>>286597131They're posing for the volume covers.I think that was mentioned in a previous one that all that is supposed to be actual marketing stuff they do.
>>286592464Ohma background story doenst make any sense.
>>286592491I love this page. Strength be dammed, its the winner who is strong.
>>286592518Sandro could write charismatic characters back then. God I love Niko.
>>286592529I wish it was called the Ohma style from now on.
>>286597813>Granddaughters posing as fap material to make money for your best friendGrandpa sleeps>Granddaughter find a man she likes and actively pursues him by her own choiceREAL FUCKING SHIT
>>286592350>telling the ref not to announce your victory so you can brutalize your opponent furtherIs this a jobber hex?It actually feels logical that this could backfire unlike most others.
Would you expect "Under Mount" to take responsibility for its proxy?
>>286598105Himuro...
>>286598355I'm not even sure raian cares about winning
>>286597981Well he is crazy and losing his memories.
>>286592529I LOVE the Niko Style
When "History's Strongest Disciple" has two friends fight each other as their masters' proxies, and the punishment for losing means the other master has to "shave their moustache..."... you can already feel higher stakes and greater tension than this.
>>286597170Lihito and Hassad too.
>>286599192Why? Because it seems impossible they'd kill Kazzy's son? But then again you could make the argument Kaiji has no stakes because Kaiji can't die in part 2 when Kaiji goes up to part 6 and more... It's not just about stakes while taking into account meta-narratives but also in universe stakes, what they mean for the characters, how well they're developed in the narrative itself. Right now you can feel Ohma and Kazzy's situation, that's what matters more.
>>286599313I'm freaking-the-Heck-out-right-now because Raian is in just as bad condition as Ohma is. Kazzy said so. These two fighters have so much motivation to fight-to-the-death right now, they're both infinite in desire and Cosmo-level "I want to win" it's chilling, omg I am so hype right now.
>>286599192As somebody who's going through both storytimes for the first time, comparing Kenichi and Kengan is like apples and oranges. I like the fight choreography more in current Kengan, but I like the characters more in Kenichi.
>>286599461I mean you can just quote what's happening in a bored cynical tone to make fun of it, and that works for literally every single story or manga ever. That doesn't mean you made a point other than "I don't like it". In fact you couldn't even make that without sounding like a schizo with your convoluted "infinite in desire Cosmo level want to win" reach, since at no point do these characters express anything like that (Raian wants to dominate physically in his own way and Ohma has barely been recognizing his opponent for a good while now, only moving through the motions through violent impulses).And yeah, actually, that's kind of a twist that Raian has been taking his fair share of punishment and exhaustion. That guy has been noselling a LOT of shit and dominant for a good while. Advance has been shown in a bad light, associated with this creepy shadow that gives bad advice and manipulates Ohma... So yeah a lot of first time readers would expect Advance to completely fail and Ohma to win through completely new means instead of Advance doing more than half of the work for Ohma and an awakened Niko style to be the finisher.I'm thinking you're confusing bored cynicism for fair criticism, as most midwits do.
>>286599313Some people are too result brained, please understand. If they can think ahead and guess who wins then they don't care. There's no emotions, they don't care about the story at hand or characters. Shit like the RCT Gaolang vs Jurota were made for these types. I bet he clapped his feet together and giggled at that subversion.>>286599461Case in point
>>286599467I tend to find stories (especially comics) to be more entertaining when the cast is simple and obvious; it makes investing into each character much easier, instead of just pretending to care. The conflict becomes, "well, is the character good?" I want to believe the authors get a good idea about which characters are good and dismiss the others... eventually.
>>286599545I'm not worried. I'm sure Ryan will grow, just like his great grandfather, into a respectable man with clear goals.
>>286599545I'll also add that Kazuo noticing Raian's exhaustion with the Removal being undone sells this even better, there's a small "ah-ha!" moment for the reader since they could have noticed that (although it could also just be Raian fucking around, but at the very least you could tell it's believable and likely that he would keep at full power to finish this). And of course it connects Kazuo to Ohma's second wind which is a big moment for these two complementary characters and their arcs.But hey, we can also just bring up some Omegaisms, call Sandro a shitty hack, talk about AI drawings, post Worm tongue edits, and generally just make it an Omega threads for braindead obsessed retards.
I sure hope Ohma wins. It's important. And I hope Nogi gets elected Chairman. I can see that's really important. Even more, now, than before.
Strategically? I thought of ways to beat most of the KAT r1 losers>AdamRepeated blows to his pectorals via outboxing should diminish his punching power heavily. Afterwards it’s just a matter of how to get to his chin>HaruoI can’t beat that thing>MokichiWait until he uses something that isn’t boxing, such as a kick, then beat him to the punch metaphorical speaking>Inabano clue how to get past the hair>SawadaPunch his leg while he’s spinning to interrupt his momentum, punch him in the face>MeguroNo way to beat that thing>KiozanWait for him to gas himself out by dodging him, close in for finisher>Karono clue>NezuNo clue>LihitoHow the fuck>RenNo idea>ChibaPressure him>HanafusaForfeit>KanedaPunch him to death>OkuboLure him away from strikes, counter
What drives a man to be this mentally ill? Clicking on threads to read a manga he hates, refusing to engage with it on any reasonable terms, then repeatedly snideposting about it. You can be sure he'll be there for the next thread too, and the one after that.
>>286592435Why do they always do these ohma face on the ground panels lmao
>>286592529It's keng/a/n's niko style now
>>286599699>Dodging Kaozanthat nigga could teleport anon.
>>286596685My favourite technique.
>>286599597>there's a small "ah-ha!" moment for the reader since they could have noticed thatI kinda got that from the first panel of >>286592362, it looks his legs are shaking and its drawn in a way that makes them look skinnier/weaker.
>>286597170It really says something that Rihito is someone a queen of adult entertainment wouldn't mind casually hanging out with in a private room.
God I still can't go through this garbage fight. Give me some Gaolang anytime
>>286596685KURE CLAN FORBIDDEN TECHNIQUE! LESBIAN SEX
>>286592109I don't get the blood splatter for either of them in the top panel. Did they cut their shoulders?
>>286592556So, did he even hear Kazzy's genuinely useful advice over his schizo inner dialog? Feels like a wasted opportunity to reinforce the bond between Kazzy and Ohma, but I guess we needed the Niko ghost scenes.
>>286600908I guess Ohma's head was there and that's to blood from his mouth still suspended in air.
>>286596324It will be explained in Omega
>>286599699>HaruoGo for his knees. Don't forget to hex him by telling him that he's awesome and you would have lost if not for his bad knees, otherwise it may not work.>KaroStarve yourself before the fight to become the opposite of a whale, which will make you immune to his techniques.>LihitoSmuggle some itching powder into the arena and hope he itches himself to death.>RenJust cover your ears nigga
>>286601738>>286599699>KaroJust wait for him to fall over. He is landsick after all.
>>286599719>snidepostingSo this is how you call this faggy habit of posting without directly quoting the posts you're answering to? Interedasting.
>>286601014I didn't know someone could hate the Ghost Niko scenes. I think he's the best character of the manga. Why do you hate him?
>>286597347>Kure lolisWhat are their epithets?
>>286601942Some posts don't necessarily deserve a quote, or a direct answer. Sometimes you're the third person in the room and people are just laughing at (You). Consider this (You) charity, you're not getting another one.
>>286601959He's just kind of a snarky asshole. I find Ohma pretty lame as a character, and Ghost Niko feels like an extension of what makes him lame.I mean, I don't per se hate Ghost Niko. I just don't really care about him either. To me it's always "Oh, Ohma's gone schizo again, let's see what power up he dreams about this time." And then the powerup is having better stats. I guess your own tulpa shittalking you is kinda funny.
>>286593353Let's say Rance took up a job that lead him to Kure Village. How would it go? Would he lay pipe on dozens of Kure women? Would he get into a fight with Raian? I wish Rance would meet Raian.
>>286599192Ok?

>>286602331It's just visual flair anon.
>>286602356Where's the Kazzy page explaining how fast they moved? Until that gets released these two are teleporting and Kiozan is a jobber bitch.
>>286599554>Gaolang vs JurotaThe result for that was predictable, though.All you have to do to predict fights in Omega is look at the win-loss record of both fighters involved and gauge how much Sandro prefers them. Gaolang lost his last match? Jurota won his last match? They're fighting? Gaolang has to win, because Jurota can afford to lose.>>286599597>But hey, we can also just bring up some Omegaisms, call Sandro a shitty hack, talk about AI drawings, post Worm tongue edits, and generally just make it an Omega threads for braindead obsessed retards.Why are we pretending to hate Keng/a/n? I don't see the problem with anything in this sentence if people maintain spoiler etiquette and accompany some of the shitposts with actual observations on the matter.Making it explicit you're discussing spoilers is vastly preferable to trying to be "subtle" about things, so to speak.
>>286602694Omega threads are fine for what they are, forced cynicism towards parts of Asura that were largely beloved for incredibly convoluted reasons and Omega-only material is just stupid.Basically I'm criticizing the reduction of a solid scene with tons of somewhat interesting elements into an Omega caricature. Forcing it into a neat AAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEE MUH SANDRO SLOP box. Now that I write it I'm somewhat confident this is the same anon that keeps talking about "Sandro slop" and spoiling shit.
>>286602694If you were there you should remember the endless theories and varying tournament predictions about rematches/runbacks and author pets. It just wasn't that simple. Plus they gave Jurota a massive development (lol) so people thought that he must be going somewhere (lol). Instead we got Gao rehashing how hard being a jobber is and Agito just fucking winning. I think I remember the "who wins" poll at the time having a perfect 50/50 split between Gao and Jurota.

>>286602729>forced cynicism towards parts of Asura that were largely beloved for incredibly convoluted reasons and Omega-only material is just stupid.I disagree. You're 100% justified to hate a set-up on re-read since you now know that there'll be no pay-off to it, and that the author is simply vagueposting with no plan.
>>286604103On some level yes but what I'm talking about is less "wow, look, Tiger Niko ended up being a nonsensical nothingburger" and more applying Omega "morality" retroactively like calling everyone big chunguses, erasing the current context and nuances. It's less about "that mystery box didn't end up containing anything" and more trying to shove the current events into an Omega shaped hole.
>>286604144Oh I get you. I think it's a matter of scale, re-reading Ashura indeed makes me see that every defect that plagues Sandro's writing was here, but suppressed or light enough to not be too much of a bother. I agree with you if you think that weird anon with the sarcastic paragraphs hams it up a bit too much, though he's not even in my top 5 annoying anons.
>>286604953>>not even in my top 5That implies there are at least 6 annoying anons in keng/a/n. At this point, we should be concerned.

Why does ashura look so different from omega
>>286605571one was made by a team working together that regularly met up to make sure the motions looked good and try to make a fun story. the other doesn't really have anything you could call a plot, none of the people involved really care about it, and a large portion of panels are traced from AI (or sometimes just straight up AI with no changes)
>>286605256"Annoying" is on the move
>>286605571Scan quality. If you download the Comikey rips (Hotoku no Gun redid the whole series for their service), you see a lot more of the Omega artstyle shine through from the beginning. These scans are pretty low quality and crush a lot of the greys and shading out so it looks a lot rougher than intended.
>>286605571Asura was Daro finding his way artwiseOmega was him losing his way
>>286605571>>286606055>>286606649You're saying this like artstyle change (usually for the worse) isn't common for mangaka
>>286606682Not saying it isn't but Kengan has had wild swings in style changes. Early Kengan doesn't look like the later chapters and Omega has actual AI slop in it.
>>286606682See Araki

How far would that evil bastard Kenshiro make it in KAT?
>>286610499Pretty sure he would win, but his handsome and loving brother jagi would be too compassionate to do what he needed to win

>>286592178Original for reference
>>286611931Not gonna post all of them, just these two unless someone wants to see a specific one
>>286605571The art in Ashura is pretty all over the place. You can tell that they took a long time to figure out what they wanted the manga to look like. Omega didn't change the style that much, but it did optimize it with production effectiveness in mind. Everything is a little lower in detail and rarely if ever stylized so that it's as easy as possible for Daro to maintain a weekly schedule without too much effort.
>>286610499Unironic sweep
