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

That phrase has popped up again, "Ancient Martial Arts", which was also Odin's style, therefore presumably also Ogata's (Odin's teacher), and this glasses guy is using Ogata's moves as well. Anyone know the japanese term used?

I had a suspicion, but now it makes sense. Probably the same one Doraemon came from too, unless they're both just something Matsuena grew up with.

>>
>>
>>286740080
Glad that this scan is Diego Quality
>>
>>286739213
The translation feels obviously wonky on that middle left panel. It's clearly supposed to be Kenichi realizing Tanaka's master would've no doubt told him to never kill if he was a live, and that's the source of his uncertainty.

But instead, they seem to have thought it was Tanaka saying this, and tried to contort it into him saying Kenichi's masters can only say that cause they're alive, despite it not sounding right even just by itself, not to mention not flowing with the conversation.

I guess I can finally post this now that the last Fist has fully been revealed. It's my favourite Kenichi OP.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>286738889
It's a cool move and it's a good idea to get used to it.
>>
>>
>>286738951
When the hell did he become capable of discerning that? Kenichi's WIS is starting to pile up as well.
>>
>>
>>
>>286739538
This explanation feels kind of awkward, existing just to get Thor involved again even though it makes very little sense.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>286738560
Punch Fisty and Slashemstabbem linked up. Need it or keep it?
>>
>>
>>
>>286740301
It seems that when Kenichi uses that move he goes a little deeper than just their movements.
>>
Hell yeah!
>>
>>286739650
>Magi
>and fairly early on too it looks like
Wait, did it fall to the same axe that befell Kenichi when this magazine stupidly decided to end everything at once (except Conan, I guess)? Or did it end before then? We've got, like, 20ish volumes left, right?, so that might line up.

>Thor can already manifest half an optic blast
I'm not sure this story leans into it enough, but it is interesting how you can interpret everyone sort of almost keeping up with Kenichi by remembering he's actually got no talent and so it's expected for everyone else to improve massively with much less time.

That's a very weird excuse panel from Nijima there. There's already way to much weird shit going on in broad daylight here.

Did Matsuena really not want to have Ukita be able to just tank it, even at great damage?
>>
>>286740693
Stop! Ken has enough wet dreams already

>>286740671
Yeah, that seems to be the case.
>>
>>
>>286738909
>>286738932
>>286738951
It is actually very satisfying for Kenichi to be getting this sort of respect from someone who is above disciple level
>>
>>286740080
TITS AND ASSES
>>
>>286739405
I suspect that like most shounen authors the author can't write romance worth a shit, so having her be retarded and fairly blank as the love interest helps skirt around the issue, while every other female character that is "free" to have character development and a personality end up completely eclipsing her.
>>
>>
>>286740760

>>
>>
>>286740877
He got the "timing" right.
>>
>>286740396
I remember he can't see that deeply into Miu back then. Not sure if that's because it's Miu he was facing or he improved since.

>>286741155

Yeah, I really doubt it between the complete retardation of destroying half the truck failing to hit Nijima and Kenichi being able to just tank a blow
>>
>>286741140
Unfortunately he's the canary in the coal mine.
>>
>>286741155
>>286741166
Ah shit Kenichi vs a master class!!!
>>
>>286740596
In that sense Loki was a complete bust lol. And Berserker was AWOL since he got beaten by Tanimoto. But 6/8 ain't bad
>>
>>286741195
That's the problem with hiring a murderhobo to accomplish a task that's more complicated than just murdering everybody.
>>
>>286741202
Probably that lowest level like Fortuna was
>>
>>286741177
Renka again.
>>
>>
>>286741195
>>286741202
I'm sure he's just a run of the mill muscleheaded master class like Epstein.
>>
>>
>>286741242
Even at this moment. Renka is probably off fighting random thugs in Chinatown
>>
>>
>>286741271
Ken-chan's new technique, Mubyogghhh!
>>
>>286741202
Master class includes guys like Fortuna. Kenichi was just able to spar pretty decently with a disciple+ guy, blocking a blow from a low master is probably not a stretch
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>286741271
that's the weakness of the move, it's got a gigantic windup
>>
>>
>>
>>286741289
There are multiple tiers of master classes. Fortuna was low/entry level, this guy I think is the average master. Ryozanpaku are considered grandmasters which is significantly higher (all of them are basically superhuman). Then the hag, Elder and fruit eating masked guy are even above that.
>>
>>
>>286741311
You'd think the masters would be trying to guide him to a combo that lets him finish with it. Some sort of move that forces the opponent on their knee or something.
>>
>>286741334
I think you fucked up, reggaeman.
>>
>>
>>286741334
>Getting her back would be a pain in the ass
Yeah, the dude with the sword seems like a shit tier Master.
>>
>>
>>286741370
ASS TEAR
>>
>>
>>286741363
I mean he was able to land it on Kano Shou who's insanely fast, probably the fastest disciple we've seen thus far, and his Water Seikuken lets him get in close on people unexpectedly

It's just trying to do it to someone that much stronger than him didn't work

>>286741211
Loki has legitimate skill as a martial artist. It's just that he's way more interested in being the mastermind in the shadows instead. He put so much effort into scheming that he completely neglected his training.

>>
>>286740261
What's with all this glazing, man
Looks like a Yujiro walking down the street chapter
>>
>>286741445
He has got martial arts training in karate and staffwork but it's that neglecting that is why I said he was a bust, especially when compared to Niijima who is much smarter and a better planner
>>
>>
>>286741485
Oh, I guess he's similar to Kenichi.
>>
>>286741507
He looks like Shaggy but not pathetic.
>>
>>
>>
>>286741481
He probably had some talent to be handpicked by Ogata, but neglected training. He is based on a Kenichi prototype character who was explained to be too lazy to improve, so that habit probably continued to the actual manga.
>>
>>
>>286741529
I'm guessing he's trying to level up his own disciple by feeding him kills for XP, Fire Emblem style. But it doesn't count if Kenichi is already banged up from fighting a master head on.
>>
>>
>>286740649
I hope he becomes stronger in the sequel.
>>
>>286741290
>oh, you're still alive?
He actually thought that his knee strike, with no follow through, was going to kill the kid that successfully blocked one slash, dodged another, and slipped past his guard? This guy's a scrub. Fortuna level for sure.
>>
>>286741568
It also doesn't count when Ken-chan does this
>>
>>286741507
I wonder if all the Yami masters work under sith rules of only having one apprentice. If you really are superhuman why wouldn't you teach it to several people instead of one scrub at a time who is bound to either die or stab you in the back.
>>
>>286741568
He isn't aware Kenichi got Battle Continuation.

>>
>>286741628
What the fuck is that look on Kenichi's face
>>
>>286741596
Ogata has 4 disciples tho. He has Odin and 3 mystery niggas more

>>286741618
It's cool that we finally get some dishonorable pieces of shit compared to the usual Yami style
>>
>>286741628
Oh my favorite trope. Silly old man is actually super badass
>>
>>286741596
The only one that clearly doesn't is Ogata, and he's mostly using his as disposable guinea pigs for his experimental techniques.
Train them up to a decent level, teach them something dangerous, watch them use it, and take notes when their blood reverses direction and makes their brains explode.
>>
>>286741429

>>286741669
I like that he's come back into the story more, he was introduced way before we knew what Yami was and was the one who built Ragnarok and corrupted Odin, so he feels like a more personal enemy than most of the Nine Fists. But he was in danger of feeling a bit generic until the reveal that he just has tons of disciples.

Not fair, there are some decent ones. The dumb ones are just more obvious because of their retardation.

I like it better than most shounen where the MC got super strong after a single special training that will definitely kill him if he failed. The untalented thing does wonder for Kenichi. Thanks for the dump.
>>
>>286741764
That was always what I liked best about Kenichi, the clear and very gradual progression of his strength, and his musculature.
No great leaps in power, and any training arcs only teach him a new technique that becomes a new staple for him.

Also Ojou-chan is the hottest Valkyrie.

We're two thirds into the full series and yeah it feels good for him to not just be decimating scrubs but to be
sparring with experts
holding off masters
stomping disciples

Right now I think the only guys who can give him trouble who are disciple level are the really top tier Yomi.

Also nice to see the return of the Shinpaku alliance in a big way where they get to do exciting stuff. This is the first reappearance of Thor since the tournament I think.
>>
>>286741764
It's definitely a well earned development. Not a sudden ass pull.
>>
>>286741789
Eh not really. Only their leader is ever presented as an actual threat and is only used as a way to keep the Elder occupied, the rest are generic evil fodder for the most part and are only used for the repentant fist Yami masters to have someone left to betray. I think their version of Yomi is made of unnamed fodder who are all taken out in a couple of chapters.

I like that the author is just completely uncompromising on this too, only backstory thing possible was the reveal that he met Miu as a kid. Everything else is completely consistent with him not being special and just training like a maniac all the time.

>Wait, did it fall to the same axe that befell Kenichi when this magazine stupidly decided to end everything at once (except Conan, I guess)?
Yup. I suspect that was why the last 'big fight' felt so disjointed even though the Babanomics and the arguing with Sinbad parts were so good.

Kenichi growth is one of my fav things in this series. It just feels so natural, he hits his groove then hits a wall and overcomes it. Simply but I love it.
>>
>>286741596
I just assumed it was similar to Kenichi's situation: they only ever find one disciple at a time even worth putting their effort into. None of them care much about passing down techniques just to pass them on, having a school, or the like on their own terms. Only in following their ideals, and if a disciple doesn't fall into that, they don't give a shit.

It did get axed abruptly, not because of sales (at least by today's standards the sales were pretty decent) but because of some wild idea the magazine had to introduce 55 new mangas which required ending all the old ones.

I thought mangastream had good scans, but they're as crispy as always.

The problem I find with the final arc is that it just lack any big moments. All of the fight is just so-so with master standing around spamming their skill without anything standout. There also aren't any emotional moments, just fighting and fighting. Every arc before the final arc has some hindlight moments but the final arc just got none.

i'm guessing the magazine had a rule that the nipples have to be somewhat covered in order to get a pass.
luckily he shouldn't have any such restrictions placed on him for the sequel.

From what I've heard people say, Dagashi Kashi was like the only manga that was a "hit" out of the 55 that launched in that retarded gimmick, so they axed a lot of stuff that was still doing well and only got an alright romcom. Also I saw someone post an interview where Matsuena says that Kenichi wasn't even really axed in a typical way, the EIC specifically asked him to end Kenichi and write a new manga so he could be a headline of that dumb gimmick. So we lost Kenichi for Tokiwa Kitareri which never even got fully scanned
>>

I also heard that the magazine has never recovered since that 55 launch

So what was up with Miu in this volume?
>the valkyries attack
>Miu fights none of them, disappears for several pages, then reappears next to Niijima
>shinpaku alliance squares off against a handful of swordsmen mooks that Miu could probably beat all by herself
>she disappears again for several pages, reappearing in a single panel
She just seems to vanish for the sole purpose of letting the other fighters get some screentime. Her entire contribution for this entire volume was elbowing one swordsman mook and complaining about Shigure sleepdarting people.

Oh I know, I remembered the situation from when someone mentioned it in one of these threads. It was only finally catching Magi on the magazine cover shown here that it made me realize it was running at the same time as it, and the ad and art makes it look like its celebrating the first two volumes, so it was still pretty early on too. Enough that it might've gotten caught in the stupid marketing gimmick.

What a shame, I wonder how pissed everyone was.

Mangastream was infamous for two things: teenager level localization choices and being incompetent at leveling their releases.

It wasn't just issues from their scans either. They'd get actual, purely digital RAWs and still fuck it up.

Why is Ukita there? Pretty sure any of the valkyries could have taken his place

Kenichi forgot about the part where Ogata was gonna kidnap him I guess.
>>
>>286744300
My hero should not have to put up with this situation.

>>286744718
I think his master never tell him that part. The masters stop Ogata before he manage to reach Kenichi and Odin.
>>
>>286744505
I was wondering about that too.
>>
>>286740525
Is there any kind of armed martial arts specifically made to fight unarmed martial artists? Like a counter to the counter?
>>
>>286744801
Seems a bit odd, weapon masters typically have the advantage after all
>>
>>286742312
Definitely feels like a mistake brought about by having Miu in more typical moe heroine poses. Even putting aside the awkwardness of where she's positioned relative to Akisame, which also doesn't make much sense, I was struck by how unusual that particular "arms squeezing her tits together, hands clenched, tits arched out, butt stuck out, worried sweat drop look" pose seemed unusual for Miu. It's a fairly common pose to see, for obvious reasons, but it doesn't feel too familiar for her.
>>
>>286744815
Yeah but every unarmed master and their mothers keep saying “aktchually my bullshit has been invented to specifically beat up dudes with weapons”

At this point it would be novelty if any of the masters, good or evil, gets btfo by a master weapon user just for the simple fact that… they’re using a weapon. Sure a cripple can master walking on his hands and in mangaland run even faster than a normie… but a master on running on two legs should logically beat them. At least once.

Pretty sure arm-for-movement master would win in this series considering how "fundamentally" OP legs are in this series. Kenichi has BTFO out people had no right beating normally just because he has thighs of steel from running on a hamster wheel 4 hours a day.

>>
anyone knows a good tutorial to digitize physical books?
>>
>>286740461
Honoka, where are you putting your hand...
>>
>>286744801
Yes. You use ki feints to make them pick up a weapon and them outclass them with your swordsmanship. A master's hand can grab, push, pull, twist, gouge, scratch, pierce, cut, and smash. But with a knife, they're an amateur and thus limited to only slashes and stabs. Arming your opponent actively makes them weaker! Only a weapon master can overcome this inherent flaw.

Combination of a quality scanner and unfortunately a willingness to 'destroy' the book in the process.

Skimming through this it looks like a solid guide as someone that's never had to do it before, and it's a wordpress site which makes it weirdly more trustworthy to me.

If Mastery is based on how well you've mastered your special brand of martial autism, does that mean Nijima is the one and only Master of alien arts? Or does he still have a long way to go before he can be called a master?
>>
>>286745054
>>286745107
Probably just a combo of no panties and having thicker fabric in the crotch
>>
>>286745162

Maybe one or both of his parents are masters of Alien or Demon arts, though that would make him the first combo Alien+Demon arts master still
