>>287147079Should be 181, not 180.
>>287147169The "Worm" is on the move...
>>287147190kek, the classic worm
>>287147190>I have no reason to fight anymore.>So Long Min!Really Sandro
>>287147079Wow I can't wait to see Adam doing things in this volume
Chapter 182: Persuasion
>>287147079Our fuarking Wigger.
>>287147351Comfy Bando
>>287147079Why Adam?
>>287147351kek. that bando
>>287147322I can't believe Julius got chungified before Rei and Ren
>>287147114>EXTRA: SUFFERINGI didn't realize they included all of Omega as an extra
DONE
>>287147545>Good Fight Making MachineLame
>>287147243Kaneda is living the life. You'd think he'd be more chuffed about becoming friends with an MMA legend
>>287147079MY BOY! ADAM "KILL ALL THE F*GS" DUDLEY!
>>287147136Hassad a prince now?Yeah wise move to keep that hidden from Medicine Uncle.
>>287147148>Dudley teaching new slurs to Terry
>>287147169The "worm" is on the "move"
>>287147822 im surprised theres no ugly bastard doujins with the two of them
>>287147169The "Worm" is "wiggling"
>>287147418ENTER!
>>287147482>>287147492>>287147506Kazzy really is the heart and soul that holds everything together
>>287147388our HERO hanafusa
>>287147312>The fourth day is skippedThat's a bit strange isn't it? I'd expect a filler chapter that's a little fun like the last free day.
>>287147272As much as I hate how forced the festivities are, especially after the bloodbath that happened just before, it provides a nice contrast to Ohma's state.
>>287147148>>287147322>>287147341Cutenaba
>>287147545>favorite type: long-haired men>his life-long nemesis has long hairOkay at this point they're not even hiding their reliance on fujoshis.
>>287148686Once gain I'm thinking what would be the battle shonen version of Kengan Asura would look like, where the CEO provide unique powerups to fighter and they fight in tandem. Like Akoya and Hiyama but everyone does that.
The Worm...
>>287147148Surprised Akoya is even out of his room.
>>287148810Yes?
>>287147169This "worm" on the loose was willing to sacrifice all of Japan and made Hayami act like a lunatic. Ok.
>>287147226Enlightened Ohma
>>287147293After everything that's happened this reunion will be interesting (I hope).
wait, i missed a thread and hayami's coup all done?
>>287147127Oh right, the last 3 rounds are done in a single day.
>>287147351As Camus once wrote that one must image that Sisyphus is happy, one must imagine Bando comfortable.
>>287148768Something like Gash Bell?
>>287149100It turns out swords and crossbows aren't actually that good for coup d'états.
>>287147322>the entire lineup of fighters>...and a gyaru-oh
>>287147181>w-we didn't fail, we still have plan B!Sounds familiar
>>287149183Yeah, something like that. There's a lot of potential with character dynamics while in Kengan we only see a handful of CEOs on a semi-regular basis
>>287148938Classic "worm" behaviour.
>>287147243Kaneda about to return as a foresight-using sumo fighter.
>>287147322MY HEROES
>>287147418holy fwark
>>287149334what happens when Kaneda the "Weak" learns Sumo which is "Strong"?
>>287147418I can feel his aura from there
>>287147322My wife Mihono makes another appearance!Looking too healthy though.
>>287147506>>287147519It's raining again...
>>287147156he got his finger back!
>>287148081Kazzy and Ohma together are the best thing out of Asura when it's not a fighting chapter.
>>287147079I fucking love Adam.
>>287147402I really like the Kure dynamic with Hollis, blondie and the fat uncle
>>287147148VERY NICE
>>287148622>how forced the festivities are, especially after the bloodbath that happened just beforeWouldn't festivities make even more sense after nipping in the bud that coup?Also this entire event is full of festivities and luxury, it's not too surprising.
>>287149829>You are a man of integrity just like me.
>>287147226>>287147215Whats this reffering to again
>>287149819Actually so do I, Sandro has a good sense for these dynamics and little SOL moments. Feels quite authentic.
>>287149941>You're a jobber of integrity, just like me
>>287147482>>287147492>>287147506Kengan is a story about Kazzy's growth.
>>287149168>Fight>Rest>Fight>Rest>FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT DIE DIE DIEWHY.
>>287147322Strong....
>>287150014Let's believe in the "chemistry" of the "strong".
>>287147322The entire lineup of fighters... And Himuro, I guess...
>>287147322The Jobber Balcony
>>287149168This is going to be super intense.
>>287150014R3 R4 and R5 will have less fights than R2. Most of the ceos and world leaders snuck away from their duties to watch so it's more reasonable to wrap it up in a lightning set than give an arbitrary day of rest between each match, which on average take like 4 minutes anyways.
>>287150014Because R1 has 16 fights in one day, R2 has 8, and all of R3-5 has only 7 in total. It's a matter of time, not fighter health.
>>287150260>It's a matter of time, not fighter health.It's a matter of both as every fighter will concentrate extra hard on avoiding injuries from now on due to having no more rest breaks to heal. Every injury counts much more once the final day starts.
>>287147388Our beloved Kure techniques
>>287147243very sovlful to see ohma grow bigger as he walks out the party
>>287148081totally agree, heartwrenching pages
>>287147079Why is Adam even the volume cover?
>>287150918Don't they use a random number generator for which character gets a cover?
>>287147169The "worm" is "on" "the" "move"
>>287147127You can pinpoint Sandro's writing flaws during an initial read on asura but they are minor or hidden, however this arc shows the worst of Sandro on a really unapologetic way and sadly this is the way he proceeds with himself on Omega.Pointless arc with weak villains where nothing happens besides wanking the kenganverse with nameless fodder. No stakes, no danger, just a cozy wholesome family dinner after the whole thing. Its not like he even wanks character that were under used like Himuro or Mickey but decided to show Raian, Ohma and Cosmo. Thankfully we are past the worst arc in asura.
>>287150918he's a cool guy!
>>287147169They were never truly the worm. I am the only worm "we" need.
>>287147181One panel we have him against Cosmo and the other 20 things happened off screen.
>>287147190So the omakes were canon.
>>287147322Saw and Gao never had a convo.
>>287147388Raian beat the shit out of Ohma.
>>287151274Their convo was Gaolang punching the shit out of Agito
>>287151300Ohma still won and could have killed him there though.
>>287147519I always liked how Ohma changed Kazzy but I wish Kazzy gave more to Ohma, concern is a start but I wish he helped hiim push with his schizo attacks or something.
>>287149956Nothing, Sandro likes to make shit on the spot and never elaborate. There will be a bunch of this till the end.
>>287149956>>287151387Could it be Kazzy's ancestor being linked to Nogi's?
>>287151818Nyo.
>>287147169The "Worm" is "moving" "along"
>>287149829>>287147148Nick and Lever?
>>287147822He always was(see vol 0)
>>287147079There he is
>>287147079He's important!
>>287147136I couldn't help but laugh too.
>>287147388>double peace signs
>>287147482He's got a backbone now.
>>287147403Cause he's gonna substitute Cosmo.
>>287153605Spoiler that shit you massive F*G!
>>287153605Cosmo really has a track record of coming out worse off than the guys he beatWell we haven't seen Aku but he probably fine and just sat all that shit out like the pragmatist he is
>>287153605Could Adam even beat r3 Ohma? Not a chance right?
>>287147351>>287147392>>287147419>>287149172
>>287147506Goddamn
>>287154031Adam was arguably weaker than Lihito.
>>287147169The "what" now?
My "worm" is on the loose.
>>287147169It can't fucking be...
>>287147169The "early bird" gets the "worm"
>>287147136>Oh no, did I rape a prince?
>>287149168What the fuck is Ohma gonna do in the semifinals? He won't have any time to recover from his self-inflicted injuries.
>>287154031No, I think he would had given him a harder time than Cosmo just because his strength is really low right now. Cosmo is basically a rest match for Ohma
>>287155799quarterfinals first.
>>287155864He'll have to face the semifinals with all of his quarterfinals injuries, is what I mean.I know what he'll do in the quarterfinals. Almost die, but win.
>>287149956He’s talking about the terrorist attack that just happened He’s asking how much nogi knew beforehand but didn’t let anyone know about, and what else nogi might be withholding even now
>>287154588cute
Why are they called the “worm” if their symbol is a centipede? Centipedes aren’t worms
>>287156082Their name is 虫 / Mushi, the japanese all-around term for bugs.
>>287156177The question remains.English doesn't have this catch-all term, why did the go with Worm?
>>287156516I’m curious about this too. Who actually does the translations for kengan? Is it someone at comikey or do they just release?
>>287147181All this worm nonsense Shen doesn't really give a fuck about...
>>287156516>>287156552These are still the fan translations by Hokuto no Ken, who are also now doing the official ones.The simple answer to this might be that they didn't know they should translate it as Centipede specifically, and they're obstinate enough to not change it even though they know better now.
>>287156600>they're obstinate enough to not change it even though they know better now.They change the names to reflect new spellings, though?
>>287156600The fan translators got hired to do it officially? That’s pretty cool.
>>287149829>>287152661Lmao, too true.
>>287147257>>287147272>>287147283Nice.
>>287147169who is "up" playing with "they worm" "?"
>>287154031Adam has the misfortune of being both American and having a weak gimmick that someone else can do better and without the gimmick being a specific genetic freak scenarioAdam loses to TECHNIQUE and the Niko Style is all about having the BEST TECHNIQUE FOR ANY SITUATION>>287156738The fan translators went above and beyond and are part of the reason why anyone knows what Kengan even isHad it not been for them Kengan likely would have remained an untranslated manga with an obscure subpar cgi anime on Netflix that they got for cheap
>>287147169"Oh damn, their main guy got shitstomped too easily, I better hype up the second fiddle as being leagues more dangerous to account for future poeer creep."I can see Sandro trying to worm himself out of this one.
>>287157162This one is a bit silly, because it's one chapter afterwards, and it's made clear that Long Min isn't working with Hayami.So the white suit rankings don't matter.As such, no, this is not one of those cases where Sandro is worming out of anything.
>>287147322My LOSERS
>>287147362I read that as "cute karla".
>>287156516As a first time reader, maybe they just went with it because it's snappy. They could have called it "the bug" (which can also be used as an old-timey umbrella term for insects, spiders and similar critters), but feared that might come across ass too cutesy so they went with the more evil sounding "worm". Centipedes aren't worms, sure, but poetically it's not unheard of to call a small, roughly worm shaped creature a worm.
>>287157231Alright, it still felt like a silly hype comment to me. I was just poking fun at it.
>>287147506Holy basedIt's shocking to me there was a world where Kazzy is just some young twink
>>287147303Yasuo rocking that orangutan build
>>287147148Wonder what Inaba's dad was like
>>287147545Thanks op
Why didn't Hayami hire the Westward Wu
>>287147079Adam really channeling Aran Ryan on this cover.
>>287147402>"He hasn't said no."
>>287147418Was Kazzy always larger than the kure gramps?
>>287156177mushi you say?
>>287156177Maybe it sounds more intimidating if you're Japanese but "Mushi" just sounds silly for a sinister clandestine organisation Watch out, it's the bumblebees, they're gonna get you
>>287159614Muschi (pronounced like Mushi) is German for pussy. Maybe this hints towards them being massive pussies.
>>287154031>>287154653>arguably weaker than LihitoMore like definitely. Adam's only saving grace was his size and that he could catch someone off guard with his gimmick the first time, but the only reason it was so dangerous was because of the size difference between him and Cosmo. But he's just a bulky brawler with no actual training and doesn't seem to have a good eye for battle.Lihito is around the same size but has actual martial arts training and some technique. Along with that he'd easily be able to land a definite Razor's Edge on someone as unskilled as Adam. Razor's Edge does actually counter a bunch of fighters, so Lihito could have probably made it to R2 if he hadn't run into Kuroki first. As much as I like Adam, he's probably bottom 3 in the entire tournament alongside Sawada and Chiba. Hard to say where Nezu fits since we don't see him actually fight.
>>287159684>Chiba in bottom 3I don't know, I can see him taking on a bunch fo r1 shitters. I do think Adam is the weakest guy around. That being said, I don't even remember his gimmick.
>>287159713Chiba relied on psyching his opponent out by making them think he could copy anyone and not knowing the limitations of his copying. So he's screwed if he can't defeat them in his initial rush and most fighters would probably regain their composure quickly. I think he's really only a nightmare for Kaneda because Kaneda wouldn't be able to read him if he kept switching styles.>I don't even remember his gimmickHe has a really strong "trunk" (back muscles) that basically lets him throw full power punches without needing to put his hips into it. So he can punch just as hard while laying on his back as he can while standing up. It's a very weak gimmick because it's not really a game changer and would only catch someone off guard the first time, and even then it wouldn't be an instant OHKO to most fighters.
>>287147169the "" is on the ""
>>287147190That's so long (min)
>>287160122
>>287147169Not happening, im "loosening" now
>>287157162>I can see Sandro trying to "worm" himself out of this one.Eh>Having to recognise Carlos to pass the chaptcha Eh
>>287147322FIGHTERS... and himuro.
>>287147341It's been what, 4 days since his neck was shattered like a glass in a rock tumbler?Both of them even
>>287151344Kazuo is The Concern-man. That's all. He can't do anything right.
>>287156552>>287156600>>287156738
>>287155799Die.
>>287159684>Hard to say where Nezu fits since we don't see him actually fight.Nezu, thanks to background, should be in the mid tier fighters like Lihito he just got unlucky and got paired against one of the ringers
>>287147181Never happened. Fact checked by THE Himuro Ryo.
>>287155799Well he has to fight cosmo next doesn't he?CRIPPLE FIIIIIIIIGHT
>>287147243>"He said with a wide shit eating grin after saving a bunch of people because he is a nigga with a heart of gold"
>>287161959Lihito is a midtier?
>>287162304Imagine a comma between "fighters" and "Like". Granted I'd call Lihito lower mid tier but my post was how Nezu has a background as the best fighter in a rival promotion which puts him as "mid tier". And like Lihito he got matched up with one of the OP giga freaks on his first match
>>287162304It's kind of weird that they make Lihito out to be on the lower end of fighters just because he got dogged on by Raian and Kuroki who are both probably Top 5 in the entire tournament. Granted most of his strength comes from Razor's Edge, but there's a lot of fighters he would straight up hard counter.>could probably slice through Inaba's hair>He would be a nightmare for Seki because Seki would try to tank everything and probably bleed out if he couldn't win fast enough>same with Saw>also Meguro, but Lihito doesn't seem like he would go for a kill. Would come down to if he could last until Meguro eventually bleeds out>if Cosmo got him in a hold he could just do with Akoya did, except 10 times worse>Kaneda would take too many hits before he could analyze him and also bleed outI think he has more favorable match-ups than losing ones.
>>287162586>doesn't seem like he would go for a kill.Isn't that what he did to his Russian minion on his first appearance though?>could probably slice through Inaba's hairI'm not so sure. Hair is much harder to cut than muscle.
>>287159684Nezu is bottom because he has nothing. I'd say Adam is the weakest after him, then Kaneda, then Chiba
>>287162586>Seki>SawI think you are forgetting that both of these guys are just miles better as fighters than Rihito at the end of the day. Seki would tank stuff yeah, but he also punishes people for hitting him and he knows when to turn on an opponent when things are looking bad. Plus I don't think Rihito is ready for all the brain trauma that comes from being slammed around as Seki is oft to do. Saw isn't much better for Rihito. He is going to strike Rihito down with his barrage of blows and Rihito isn't going to be good enough to continually dodge hammers. Bleeding out isn't a concern here because I don't think Rihito himself would last long enough or land enough hits to actually bleed saw out.
Bando is way too chill for a mass murderer that can explode your head
>>28716290220+ years being bars and dozens of hangings does that to a man.
>>287162902He only murders the guys he don't like, you'll probably be okay
>>287156177
>>287162902If you're not a yakuza or a cop you'll be okay.
>>287162586>InabaI'm not sure if razors edge could shear hair. That's a really thin thing to grip and Inaba's is steel wire strong. There's also getting a grip on it when it's tight around the body, it's not like an arm.>SekiThat's if Seki couldn't dogwalk Rihito with strength and technique. There's not much stopping Seki from going full grapple wrestling and overpowering Rihito.>SawSaw doesn't (often at least) intentionally tank and is certainly faster than Lihito with a stronger martial art to boot. I don't think Saw would even need a Burma.>MeguroThe problem isn't if Lihito could kill, he doesn't seem to have a penchant for it after Ivan anyways, but still can. It's if he could survive the first throw. Which even Muteba got caught by despite his knowledge and experience. I bet Lihito wouldn't even know how to soften the fall. And if he gets Meguro off like Muteba did he simply doesn't have the skill to repel him, let alone speed and strength.>CosmoYeah, R1 Cosmo for sure, r2 would know the gimmick and have a hold for it.>KanedaHe's pretty good at dodging and was halfway picking Gao punches before kicking up foresight. Kaneda could definitely get somewhere but I am not too sure really.
Kanedabros... we keep being underestimated!
>>287164073Kaneda only did as good as he did because >Himuro was strong but not so overwhelming he could get downloaded within minutes by kaneda>Gaolang is a public fighter with ample amounts of information Kaneda could leverage to even cope with a basic flash jabNobody is underestimating him, maybe he would be fine against Rihito but given his frail constitution he's not going to be able to take more than a single razor to a vital area before he crumbles. And he still isn't going to win.
>>287164219>>Himuro was strongWhat makes you think that?
>>287164414I think he demonstrated a good amount of skill in his one fight. Himuro was still a strong guy and having something like 4-0 isn't anything to sneeze at. He's just not someone that would have actually done well in the KAT and was better served being in normal kengan fights. Fighters like Rihito and Sawada arguably also shouldn't have even been put up but this tourney isn't about being reasonable.
>>287161217>Both of them evenhuh, you're right. what an iconic duo.
>>287147169I know people are tired of Omegaposting in this storytime but come on, sometimes you just gotta
>>287147506This is the good shit
>>287147545Why did Daro design a character like a WW2 caricature of a Japanese soldier?
>>287154031It would be top 3 biggest stomps in the tournament.
>>287159684If the fights were done on ice Adam would be the top dog.
>>287159684adam hits pretty damn hard thougheven considering cosmos weight he pretty much ragdolled him with a punch
>>287147545Thank you for posting!
>>287162304Lihito looks like he's a mid-tier because his Razors Edge is so good but he's actually a Boat-tier. Lihito can't deal with guys who can deal with Razors Edge and he goes back to being a bottom rung jobber>>287162735>Saw Sandro actually had these two fight in Omega. Apparently Hammer of Burma and Razors Edge deflect each other
Anyone got any kengan captcha

>>287173746Rabu SayakaBtw what was she doing while the coup was happening?
>>287173767There was a half time show going on during the coup to keep the audience distracted, she was most likely MCign it

>>287174121time to smoke some cock, ohma
>>287173989Maybe I'm just AI brainrotted but he looks like those AI generated stuff.
>>287173909BUT WHAT DID HE DO
>>287173795Would've been funnier if Cosmo'#s CEO had hired Akoya
>>287173947Holy hair
>>287173947This feels like lampshading a more interesting plotline. Cosmo didn't need to fight another round imo, maybe having Kiryu come in now was too obvious or Sandro didn't want to undermine his previous subversion with the Kuroki fight.>>287174121Arigatou OP.
>>287147322Unsurprisingly Raian wasn't going to show up for this.
>>287174177I don't think AI was good enough back then.
>>287174081>tfw everyone can now use your gimmick
>>287174302I know, it's just that the>bug eyed face>harsh shadingis common with stuff being genned nowadays.
>>287173795>fight between two half-head fightersI guess that's one way to not just fucking kill Ohma too early.
>>287147418Holy shit, it's "the" Yamashita Kazuo
>>287174081Even the audience is wondering if they've hallucinated all of their injuries.
>>287174454「All Fiction」
>>287173896>>287173909Okubros, this is your favorite?
Weird how Sandro sets up a lot of rivalries and they never end up fighting
>>287173746I'm going to climax just looking at that outfit
>>287174670Sandro is just horrible at booking. Reading Kengan is just like watching pro wrestling.
>>287173831"Emperor Penguin" Dudley
>>287173909This shit always bothered me. Why not show what Cosmo did? Was this a draft fuckup like shen hitting Luohan in omega? Who the fuck approved this bullshit
>>287173876Adambros... how can they mock us like this?
Should've gotten Julius instead, it's not like has anything better to do.
>>287173909I can't believe Cosmo whipped out his massive dick and put Okubo into "submission"
>>287173979You already trounced hayami now you gotta salt the wound too?
>>287173979>there was never actually any stakesSandro... why must you torture me so much?
>>287173979When are the "moles" going to be relevant in Omega? Are they like the good guy version of "worms"
>>287174926Never
>>287174022>Koishi!!>amidst all the chaos someone is just screaming/cheating for the ref Based
>>287174768At first I thought it's just Sandro yada yada'ing it because he needed Cosmo to fight for narrative purposes and he couldn't come up with a way for him to win without it looking like total bullshitBut why go an extra mile and stack it in Okubo's favor when he already has a significant advantage? It's like he wanted the reader to pay extra attention for some reason
>>287174101This is how footfags behave btw
>>287174022>>287174936they were trying to substitute a new fighter actually.
>>287174177You may think this if you're also in the Omega threads as Daro now Ai-generates practically everything after having trained Ai off his own art work>>287173979>>287173989Hayami's Coup was nothing more than intermission, dude was fucked from the start and was never in control>"I'm going to need a new playmate to make things interesting"Considering how he setup Hayami I'm assuming he means he wants a new punching bag that thinks it has arms to swing back with after breaking the old one
>>287173795Time for a cripple fight
>>287173979Metsudo reminds me of the chinese emperor in The Curse of the Golden Flower. They allow the revolt to happen just to watch the culprits go from confident to btfo, and by the time the revolt is squashed, everything is running like normal and the emperor is bored again.
>>287173989Ha ha Nogi's in danger.
>>287173909Okubo had an actual chance against Ohma.
>>287173979DOES ANYONE EVER FAIL IN THIS MANGA FROM THE GOOD SIDE. ITS LIKE A CHINESE GACHA CHRIST.
>>287175755No and even when they die, they don't.
>>287175755>>DOES ANYONE EVER FAIL IN THIS MANGA FROM THE GOOD SIDE. Mildly inconvenienced at most, even when they "lose" it was actually all according to plan and they won
>>287174081Poor Kaneda. Surely his timeskip with Gao will make him stronger by training all his weak spots.
Its been years and I still dont know what Ohma figured it out.
>>287175901How not to rip the skin using someone else's mouth
>>287174081>Using perfect foresight on a guy you never fought who just now reached levels of skill he never possessed before
>>287175952He stealthily read Ohma's palm when they shaked hands
>>287175952Non geniuses won't get it
>>287175901I felt the same way for a while, but I'm pretty sure it's the sensation of being in a state of peril, yet managing to use your body to evade, defend and attack with efficiency and accuracy.The trick is in the weights they both wear, which I see as serving cross-purposes. Ohma wouldn't be troubled by them in an ordinary situation, but here they serve as an active detriment that he needs to find a solution for, a stepping stone to grasping the principle at the core of the ultimate techniques: usable no matter your condition. Niko's weights help him put the breaks on his initial assault, and serve to heighten the tension of their encounter once it comes off. A signal that communicates "Now there's no going back. Figure it out or die". The fact that this moment is sandwiched between Ohma having a realization in regards to his weights and Niko removing his own hidden vest makes me think that they're the key to "figuring it out".
>>287173746Jesus, what a fucking dress. LMAO, got Dagoth Ur for this post.
>>287175728A stiff breeze has a good shot against him right now.
>>287175901>>287176267The trick with the weights was not to fight against them but to use their weight to his advantage. The whole point was to teach Demon's Bane through force where Ohma realized that his only way of surviving was to use Niko's strength against him in a literal sense. And figuring out that the wrist and ankle weights weren't obstacles but tools he could use to boost his punching power at a critical moment was part of the drill.
>>287173795One of my favourite pages in the whole manga
>>287174265The whole appeal of the tournament is that you get to the next round if you're good enough to win, it's not about narrative importance
>>287175952Never thought about this before, but yeah, using foresight (supposed to be being able to predict someone incredibly well through a combination of skill, experience, and research) on someone you never fought before and whose entire fighting style just changed anyway is completel bullshit. At that point it is just actual, magical precognition.
>>287173876Okubo is the strongest of the losers!
>>287177681It's because A. he's seen Ohma fight a lot by this point and B. Cosmo's foresight works differently to Kaneda's. He's not trying to read as many moves into the future and he's also not having to compensate for as big a speed differential.
>>287174121Thanks OP
>>287147136>who exactly are you, Hassad>and, more importantly, WHEN
>>287147226well, at least he's not stoic yet
>>287173876>whose injuries are the lightestagito literally dented his skull
>>287173979i dont think the coup plotline is "conceptually" bad, but its shit like this that just makes it extremely annoying and a waste of time in hindsight, there never was any danger, the status quo literally could at no point really change
>>287173989i might be going insane but the middle metsudo panel reminds me of that picture of serj tankian smiling
>>287174101feet
>>287178771>agito literally dented his skullCosmo rubbed some dirt on it and walked it off
>>287175901its that bit of ohma "standing on his bones" basically, specially considering what demonsbane implies as a technique its clearly that what niko wanted was for ohma to reach a state where he'd let the natural flow of his body put him into the most optimal position, its kinda of a trope in fight manga, like goku's ultra instinct
>>287178982>thankfully all of okubo's injuries were restricted to organs he wasn't using, like his brain
>>287179046Can't have brain damage if there's no brain to damage
>>287174192>BUT WHAT DID HE DOLeft everyone wondering if anal really counts as a hold
Ashurafags are usually a few points above the standard deviation, but you can tell they lose a few IQ when talking about Cosmo or Rei, simply because they hated them.
R3 loser brackets>Cosmo vs MutebaThere is not much Cosmo can do to the niggerman. While Akoya is physically stronger, he is also prone to justice rage, allowing Cosmo to take advantage. Muteba only need to watch out for Zone. I'd give this 80-20 in favour of Muteba.>Rei vs HatsumiRei is a glass cannon, and Sen has the best auto-dodge in the series and he is strong enough to tank Agito's TWO Dragonshot, his new one-inch punch technique. A few throws is enough to put the limp-dicked simp outcold.
>Indirectly defending Cosmo and ReiI see that the femanons finally came in.
>>287179336Not it's just the Wendsday spoiler
>>287173785>>287173795CRIPPLE FIGHT!
>>287173846So what exactly would Nishihonji's plan be if he did sub in Naoya, and Naoya did make it to finals, and he had to fight Agito again?
>>287180108Secret metal plate in his skull.
>>287174081I can't help but feel like they're both gonna drop dead as soon as the painkillers wear off.
>>287180348It's fine, Medicine Man gives them a strong "dose" of his potent "painkiller" before the "match"
>>287174121thanks op, just letting people know the spoiler faggot is doing his usual shit right here, heads up for first time readers>>287179316
I have Cosmo fatigue. He should've lost to Akoya.
>>287173746holymoly
>>287173947Adam is so real
>>287173795Why is it so skintight now, jesus christ.
>>287173846>Adam was gonna be your subOh yeah, one of the weakest fighters, of course.
>>287173808I guess they don't know Ohma was in a coma until few hours ago.Also, that Akoya panel has some good reaction image potential. Someone crop it, I'm at work right now.
>>287173876>Adam even loses matches that didn't happen
>>287175755Do yourself a favor and DON'T read Omega after this storytime is over. For your own sake.
>>287173929>self-hex
>>287174265With Cosmo being in such a shit shape, and being kinda objectively the loser vs. Akoya (If not for justicefaggery) getting Kiryu to have his fight with Ohma here could've worked pretty nicely.
>>287173846>would rather die than top for onceMy... hero...?
>>287174022>Seeing to injured guys fighting is gonna be boring as fuck>Oh btw rounds 3, 4 and 5 will be held the same day, no time for healing
>>287173979But HOW did Nogi buy off these guys? How did he know they were anywhere close to the island? Let alone involved in the coup? How did he know there was a coup in the first place?
>>287181771I'll leave it open to interpretation.
>>287178873I can see it.
>>287181771He did this before the tournament, they were basically moles.He had moles inside too to let Metsudo know this was coming.How? ehh.
>>287181771He "moved" before the "worm"
>>287174022Man, Merkel and Obama are really impatient.
>>287174050>>287174067>>287174081Did Cosmo switch arms?Also I find it funny as fuck that the jobbers are still posing for a group photo while observing the match.
>>287174092That bottom panel is hillarious. Mike the headless chicken, as a human.
>>287173919>im the strongest i've ever been - i can impale people on my shattered ribs
>>287173989>YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG NOGI
>>287181771Metsudo has tons of moles everywhere, and they perform other people's jobs but are loyal to him first and foremost and tip him off whenever there's any threats to Metsudo's interests. >uh tell Metsudo that Hayami just hired us, will continue to monitor his progresstwo seconds later>update: Nogi hired us too
>>287181771Sandro needed Nogi to look intelligent and not a guy who got caught with his pants down
>>287182145Yes, I understand the meta reason. I just don't understand the events taking place.
>>287175006She'd have better chances than Ohma or Cosmo btw.
>>287174670Most of them do or have something else paying off. In Asura at least
>>287182408Since she'd have to job to Ohma they couldn't bring out the real queen of boxing.
>>287178998That's some Wuxia shit
>>287182408Source? Im exclusively interested in the potential of Satori jobbing again
>>287183149https://exhentai.org/g/3399207/539076fc7d/Author made a few others
>>287173989Katahara is just a fun kind of guy.
>>287181901>Hey uh Angela>I can't wait to see the uh little Japanese boy finally get pulped
I'm straight but I would crack Nikaido Ren, Inaba and Hanafusa without hesitation
>>287185930Are you sure? Cause you talk like a total f*ggot
>>287173746Jesus christ Sayaka, you want a stripper pole to go with that outfit?
>>287181577Shrunk in the wash
>>287179046Reminds me of a line from bad santa>luckily the bullets didn't hit anything important, just my liver which was fucked anyway
>>287173919>imaicosmoYou'd think getting his memory back would break him out of that habit
>>287174254Maybe he's crazy. Maybe it's maybelline.
>>287186891I have to assume it's a bit of an untranslatable character trait?Without looking this up, maybe he can't read/write kanji, (Too many chinese characters) so he can't even imagine how these names are supposed to look, so it's all in hira/katagana
