How will OUR HERO Himuro fare against Wakatsuki in today's exciting chapter of Kengan Omega?BTW, today's chapter release coincides with April Fools' Day. Want to hear a joke? Kengan Omega! LOL!
>>287158365Hassad NEVER!
Hopefully new Convict Colosseum chapter soon. Please EC win this I bet my children on you.
>>287158365I expect at least a mostly off-screen fight with Himuro jobbing after an unfathomably high level exchange of compliments, preceded or proceeded by a wonderful and lengthy revision of rules, of course. We will be eating good today... Oh, yes... I can already taste "it"
>>287158701I wonder if Sandro actually even bothers to read the finished pages. And if he does, does he even bother to criticize Daro for these leftover AI hands or does he just not give a fuck at all?
He will be avenged!
>>287158750I think that Sandro at best just glances at them. He might be at the same level as Daro. If the editor doesn't care, then he doesn't care, unless it's something that would make a kenganavenger look bad or "not cool enough". The editor certainly doesn't seem to give a fuck either
>>287158701We're getting a full fight that makes both Waka and Himuro look bad
I'm expecting Himuro to scheme around a blast core that never happens just to get obliterated by jabs
Next chapter will start with a full page of Himuro upside down with his upper body planted into the ground like a gag manga
What kind of completely useless, time-wasting filler match-up that makes everyone involved look worse do you want to see next? Personally, I think we're due to Hong vs Kuroki.
Logically one of them should just go "lol nvm" and team up. There is no actual reason for two Kengan fighters to seriously throwdown at this point.Raian and Akoya are loose cannon retards so you can't reason with them, but any of the sane fighters should recognize there's no point taking each other out at this point in the game.
>>287159403
Mammoth Murphy soon.
>>287159868Could Lolong Donaire take him?
Hassad soon.
Koi Yamagata soon.
>>287160135>swords & sandalspure "kino"
Holy shit, Agito just ran next to my house!
>>287160135Please never stop making these. I look forward to them more than the actual chapters.
>>287158365He's actually going to win in this chapter as april fools gag and next week will retcon it
>>287160135It's sad to think about how you put in more effort into making these shitposts than the combined efforts of Sandro, Daro and the editor when they release each weekly chapter.
>>287160135Nice one
As an April fool's joke, Sandro will write an actual good chapter
>>28716013nice
>>287160444He'd have to work with the setup last week's Sandro left him so that would be an uphill battle
>>287160483The reply function... misfired.
>>287159914Yes. The Manila Manlet is too weak to lose
>>287160135If we get a Julius vs Waka rematch I actually expect them to start swinging trees at eachother
>>287160135>by branching into higher heightspfffft
>Chapter 349 : Himuro vs WakatsukiMy god, this is actually going to be several chapters.
>>287160734>Himuro .. I did not know you were at this level!>Wowie zowie these jabs hurt! I'm toast if I am hit even once>Himuro...

>>287158365What makes Omega so memeable bros?
>>287160734HOLY FUCK, WHAT COULD THE CHAPTER POSSIBLY BE ABOUT? THE TITLE OF THE CHAPTER JUST STIMULATES THE IMAGINATION!
>>287158365One panel
>>287161385Nope, it's a Waka humiliation ritual. He will spend an entire chapter winning a fight that he ought to be able to win in one panel
>>287161385I don't know why
>>287158365Who the fuck says they are gonna lose before the fight starts. We use techniques to beat those stronger than us, we use tactics to beat those with mkre experience.Fuck you Sandro.
Maybe that guy uses techniques to beat people stronger than him but I exclusively use techniques to obliterate the weak
>>287160135is there any compilations for all of the comics?
>>287161154crush my balls onegai
>>287161548My HERO, Kure Raian.....
>>287161462Wasn't that marvelous seki though?
Reminder that Shen will lose because of some random weakness:>"AIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE OHMA-SAMA YOU FIGURED IT OUT I KNEEEEL!!!!!">"Heh, ever since I saw you fishing I knew something was "fishy"..."
>trains for "when the time cooms" to enlarge his arm multiple times over>doesn't enter the tournamentWhat did Omori mean by this?
>>287161575There are some people here with general Keng/a/n OC collection
>>287158365April Fools Chapter, Waka Wins.
>>287161669Shen is Sandro's self-insert so his weakness is the lack of creativity. Getting huisheng'd as a child gave him all the knowledge he was supposed to ever need so he never had to work his brain to figure out a solution to a problem he hadn't yet solved. Despite all the "scaling the wall" that Ohma has been doing, he will still be a weaker fighter than Shen but manage to win by pulling some weird trick that Shen's martial arts memories didn't anticipate.Being bad at fishing is a hint at Shen inability to learn new things that the original sage who started using huisheng to pass down his memories didn't already know
>>287161614the testicles are "strong" enough to expose themselves outside the body, that's why they are "weak"
"Daylight savings" were too "strong"... I "arrived" too "early"
Due to "daylight savings" I got the timing "really wrong"
>>287163064>>287162713you are weak
Get Sandro'd!
>>287163402That...ghhhh...just being reminded of that bastard...makes me SICK
>>287158497Pete would feel obvious but I feel obligated to support the cultivated martial artist in the martial arts story over the unga bunga brute
Is Himuro going to pull Niko's style? Waka will lose then kek
>>287163402Senor Ohmar
>>287163450Waka already figured out how to counter the Niko Style during the KvP tournament and Himuro isn't pulling any transformations out of his ass.
Last night I was bringing in some groceries and I was getting my keys out and then I dropped them and had to bend over and pick them up. I can't believe Lukhan did that to me.
>chapter on april foolsI'm expecting our fuarking hero CHADmuro to lowdiff Waka
>>287160135yup yup Keng/a/n kinoThe only reason to visit these weekly threads
>>287163402That animal, I can't even say his name.
HIMuro will Win
>>287163402My shounen PROTAGONIST
With the whole title being Himuro vs Wakatsuki I imagine it ends this whole chapter.

>Waka has a rocket dash now Legitimately horrifying.
I got the timing wrong.
When did your first realize Ashura was a fluke?
Well, there was choreography and uuh yeah..>>287163951Oh look, Himuro lost his watch!
Oh cool we are using Himuro to wank Waka new technique. Himuro hasn't used his free however but I got the feeling he doesn't have one or a new technique.Anyways thats what I get from being a Himuro fag, probably his last manga appearance.
Himuro is the testing dummy for Waka’s “wall”, that’s fun
>>287163951FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUAAAARRRKKK
i miss blast core
>>287163951They look so goofy with the shorts and socks.
I have to finish Primal so let's do this quick.Chapter 349: Himuro vs. Wakatsuki
>Waka can use drive rush now
>>287164001Him getting the face kick felt like his However
I keep thinking "another week of a matchup I have no interest on" but then I remember no matchup in this crap would interest me
>Waka's developments are now just contracting individual parts of his bodySo how long until he accidentally discovers Indestructible?
>>287164033
>>287164042What about Ohma vs Coughing Baby
no ai this chapter broshttps://www.reddit.com/r/Kengan_Ashura/comments/1s9n2ma/kengan_omega_chapter_349_drafts/
>Waka's knee is about to breakI don't want this upset victory. Just let Himuro keep jobbing
>>287164058
the only correct play here would have been showing a disfigured himuro lying on the ground on the first page and moving on to whatever is coming next
what's phantom fist: mirage again?
>Wakatsuki stopped using Blast Core because it would destroy his ankle if he kept using it>so he's using mini blast core jabs with just his arms>AND ALSO DOING MINI BLAST CORES WITH HIS INJURED FOOT SO HE CAN FLASH STEPOkay, so ChatGPT is fully in the writer's chair, yes?
>>287164077
>>287164068Daro has actually trained the AI to also do his drafts
>>287164033Very good set of pre-match hexes. However...>>287164077Waka has a perfect counter hex for it and manage to start the match on his own terms.Extremely good exchange, as expected from masters.
>>287164092Waka learning what a jab is.>>287164098

>>287164157
>>287163951THE REAL "HIM"URO
>>287164181This would have killed BITCHroki btw.
>>287164181
>>287164118>>287164121but was it someone's technique
>>287164209GASP!I can't believe Waka is such a pottymouth!
>>287164213It's Wakas. He developed it after realizing that instead of contracting his whole body into one slow and ridiculously telegraphed punch, he could just jab instead.
>>287164054Waka would rope if he accidentally became a Nikker.
he really is on par with the legends...wow..
>>287164225
Prediction: Himuro will actually win this fight and make this the last appearance of waKEKsuki
Yeah aint no way his joint aint stronger than the average person when it has supported super muscles his entire life.Also really funny how one of the last chapters called Nicholas a dirty fighter for targeting Lius foot. But this chapter has Himuro go for an oblique kick instantly (possible carrier ending injury btw) and it just praises him for showing no mercy ???
>>287164058WAKUtsuki
>>287164250
>>287164250Just like in Kenichi.Also they should keep this captcha. Spread media history knowledge.
>>287164272
I really dislike how Waka looks like in this chapter, his head is way too squat.
>>287164293
>>287164268That's because Nicholas is evil but Himuro is on team Good Guys
>>287164311
>>287164250>Realcolas goes for Liu's feet>"Wow, FUCK that BASTARD Nicolas, and his filthy, dishonourable fighting style! Disgusting Worm!">Himuro tries to destroy Waka's knee>"HOLY SHIT, that's my fucking LEGEND! That's my ICY EMPEROR!"
>>287164293Dude's just doing fighting game combos
>start fight with hexes>going for a tackle>ambigious jab exchanges>got the timing wrong>waka invented the dash forwardquintessential omega chapter
>>287164330Who the fuck is this guy
>>287164311Waka looks braindamaged in the middle panel.
>>287164330This is the same leg Himuro kicked a few pages ago. Waka is about to lose his knee
>>287164330And done!I still can't believe Sandro is actually trying to sell Himuro as a threat.
>>287164330o my knee
>>287164272Himuro's ribs should have been powderised from this.
>>287164359That sounds like an awful fucking idea for Waka, he's going to lose to his retarded injury again
>>287164272HIMuro TANKED that
>>287164359Didn't this loser job to fucking ADAM?Who jobbed to RYUKI?Who jobbed to fucking KOGA?
I don't care about any of this.
>>287164121An ultragigahypermega overdrive galactica 70 magnum...Jab.
>>287164250His joints would have to be way stronger than a normal person's, otherwise his muscles would dislocate them with every yank.
There's really no good reason why Himuro should be able to take any of Waka's blows.
>>287164359Damn he ripped off Gozo's schtick
>>287164547Are you doubting THE ICY EMPEROR?
>>287164547Because he's THE LEGEND, that's how.
>>287164535It's just the usual fighting manga "attacking between the seams" bullshitThat's half the innovations these characters do>attack between the blinks >attack between the muscles >attack between the "brain lag">attack between the limps>attack between the jointsIt turns out "timing" is strong
>>287164547Himuro has field bonus
>>287164250Waka seems to be leaning a lot on hex kata unlike the anon comic.
>>287164547After Kaneda broke his arm, his bones got stronger
>>287160135good job, "me", you are our most "valuable asset"
>>287164642This will be his undoing, should've become one with the trees
>>287161816Damn he really does look deformed
Himuro's only option seems to be attacking Waka's wristwatch, but that would obviously never fly. That's a subversion not even I'm expecting.Unless Waka accidentally breaks it while punching, I can see that happening.
>>287164535Reminder this is also the same manga that says literally nobody can react to an attack faster than one second even though we have people moving faster than the speed of sound
>>287160135MUSASHI MIYAMOTO REFERENCE
>>287164036You just know that shit is like +12
>>287164188That Himuro? That Himuro Ryo
Narrative-wise, there is virtually no reason for Himuro to win. He had no plot relevance and isn't strong enough.If Waka wins, I'll stop spoiling shit in the daily kengan threads.
>>287164359Rei? OBSOLETE
>>287164805He gets hyper armor every move anyway so it doesn't matter, he can spam it if he wants to.
>>287164547Sandro did some background rebalancing to make the fight a bit more fair
>>287164658>hirumo paid a visit to saw paing's tribe and got all his bones broken to get strongerI'm ready for the flashback
>>287164311>"timing">>287164822Kill yourself
>>287164068
>>287163402El Consecrationist
I honestly would have rather had a Waka vs Willem Superman mirror match rather than Raian wank and whatever the fuck this is.
>>287164225>himuro made him bleedGoddamn sucks being a Gozo fans.
This defeat... will make Himuro stronger...
>>287164272>>287164311Reminder that Waka is nearly 450 pounds of super dense muscle, getting tackled by him should be like getting run over by a small car
>>287164181The order of these panels kills any impact the kick might have.
>>287164547he's one of the legends
>>287164986Himuro... is strong!
>>287164359he's stealing the niko and kure gimmick of taking mundane moves and naming them something epic!
>>287164359wow, a new application of Phantom Fist: Mirage, the thing I can't even remember existing.
>>287164311no no NO NO NONONONONOT THE TIMING
Shadow nerf
>>287165064>52? I can't believe Waka's muscles are 50 times denser than a normal person's. If his 48 times denser muscles hit me, I'm toast! A hit from muscles that are 46 times denser is no joke...
>>287165064>the average person’s muscles have gotten 1/26 times more dense since the last time skipa masterclass in subtle world building
>>287165064>meta style: retcon hex
>>287165123The wall scaling is no joke
>>287165104He's deliberately dialing it down to reduce the superman syndrome hex while still maintaining some extra power. If he can find the perfect balance, he'll be just weak enough to be completely unstoppable.
>>287165123one piece fans would say that
>>287165123What if our heroes have skewed the average
>>287165064That's just Himuro being too cool to remember the exact number so he estimated at 50
>>287165123Humanity is... strong.
>>287164359I half expected Waka to laugh at him and walk past because he's that little of a threat.
>>287165215Only dastardly villains do that anon.
>>287165142>by the end of the series Waka will have weaker muscles than Willem
"The Icy Emperor" is about to get himself a win, I can feel it.
>>287165064What the omniscient narrator knows and what himuro knows may not be the same.
>>287164359it would be funny if he just tore his muscles to the bone and lose
>>287165270waka is about to get crippled for life so himuro can get a win for once.
>>287165064Fucking FGC patch notes
>>287165149This is actually a subtle way of acknowledging that there are more people recorded with Superman syndrome in-universe now, just enough to skew the average. Sandro is truly bending the limits of storytelling.
>>287165149>boardcast Shen fight to the world>humanity gets strongerSo this is that bastard Luohan's plan
>>287165351With how many people seemingly have more than normal muscular density, this isn't really all that ridiculous.
>>287164359>mfw Waka losesDon't worry tiger... I'll handle him
Serious Fei still no-sells Wakatsuki btw.
>>287164250Look, I get that not every Kengan fighter can make it to the final stage, but does that mean we have to cripple and injure ourselves before we get to the real opponents?
>>287165687>not giving Koga the chance to redeem himself for that bitch slapNo actually that's pretty on brand for Sandro.
>>287165700The Worm is a self sabotaging group and is currently like down to less than half after making 0 progress to their plans whatsoever. Then again, it won't surprise me if Shen can actually fight through the entire Kengan roster by himself until Ohma with 0 issue.
So, uh, whatever happened to Waka's leg injury?
>>287165756He's not firing off Blast Cores so it's not relevant but it is referenced here.
>>287164535Yes, we know Sandrobitch doesn't actually think things through when he writes shit.
>>287165698Once he gets the timing right though...
is it just me or is wakatsuki very talkative all of a sudden
>>287164311Did someone say...TIMING?
>>287164411The injury is only a factor when Sandro determines it needs to be a factor.
>>287165123Danberu has believable tiers.
>>287164157man look at their builds. Everyone just looks the same nowadays.
>>287165791When will the RAT return?
>>287165959Xia will become cyberXia and will immediately job like CyberFrieza did.
>>287165351>>287165448Well, Omega introduced the Chinese Wu and Western Wu clans and the Wester Wus apparently have global branches and the Chinese Wus are giving the Kure clan 100% Remove rates buffs.
>>287165748Koga can just ambush Himuro after the tournament when Kaneda has softened him up
>>287165123We've all seen the "higher heights." The "infection" has become a "global pandemic."
>>287166109"I'm" the "vaccine" "we" "need".
>>287166046Looking forward to waka crippling himuro during this fight and like 300 chapters later we'll get a wheelchair-bound himuro being jumped by koga who recently mastered principles and wants to test his strength against a kengan legend.
>>287164272If this was Ashura, Himuro would have gotten absolutely rocked by this
>>287166229wheelchair luohan will protect him
>>287165064It's the Trainee faultAgain
>>287165698Undeniable
>>287164330>EXPLODING KNEE TECHNIQUE
>>287165959isn’t he living in the slums and selling his body?
>>287166993He's currently an Informant for the Kengan Association so he should have a place to live. Imagine snooping around his bedroom. It would be so much fun finding every little hidden thing. Maybe falling asleep in his bed when everything's found.
so fucking boring and predictable and uncreative>im gonna use my blast core... in my arm only... and then im gonna use it... in my leg
>>287167126I hope in the next chapter he uses the blast core on his brain to have a great idea
>>287164157If I hit someone really fast, will I also create steam?
>>287164359>Walmart flashing steelwhy does everything always evolve into Niko Style?
>>287167253Only if you're hot
>>287167126Yeah I expected more from this manga
>>287167304It’s almost like the Niko style was never unique to begin with.
>>287166439if this was Ashura, Wakatsuki would've blown out his knees and lost
>>287165791this pic is extremely erotic
>>287158365I will be "waiting" for the "second" thread this "Wednesday".
>>287165064It's that more people goes to the gym thanks to Danberu
>Stop using blast core because his ankle is about to explode>Proceed to use the blast core version that only uses his back foot muscles (ankle included)bro
>>287167716There's a delay of 0.5 seconds between the tendon in his ankle and conscious thought.He managed to get the timing right so that he can go limp in his perception of the pain.
What can Himuro even do? Like what's his unique gimmick?I don't think it's necessary for everybody to have a secret technique that they promised their master they wouldn't use or that shortens their lifespan or whatever but himuro is such a nothing character he needs some flavor.You'd think a fighter from The Inside(tm) would be more interesting.
>>287168093He doesn't have any distinguishable fighting style, no master, left the inside in his teens. The most interesting thing about him was being from the inside and it was such a nothingburger.
>>287168093He's a realistic martial artist in a world where bullshido magic moves actually work. He's trying his best but he's always going to be the walking punching bag
>Himuro going toe to toe with WakatsukiGag manga
>>287168159>>287168270>AshuraletsHis shtick is Jeet Kune Do (yes, Bruce Lee meme martial art). So basically super fast combinations.>NOOOO WAKA TSUKI PREASE STOP
>>287168159He has in fact spent more time on the Outside then he's spent on the Inside
>>287165064maybe the average person got denser
Can't believe HIMuro was thrown on the barbeque for cheap points...
I don't really want Waka to lose for the potential rematches he could have.But i also want Himuro to win just because it would be funny.They will get interrupted won't they?
>>287168385He can also use nun-chucks but it only works against enemies off-screen, it's practically a self-hex if he uses weapons against good guys
>>287164547He's one the Legends.
What is a hex you nighers
>>287164359I didn't read chapter 310 whoops
>>287168561The GOAT Himuro greatly restored the readers energy
>>287168561it's too small!
>>287168598A miserable pile of compliments. But enough talk, have at you!
>>287164136I genuinely don't complain about Omega (really) but bottom panel looks disgusting
He really can't draw Wakatsuki for shit anymore. AI aside because I don't think Wakatsuki was particularly well drawn back in KvP.
>>287164986he's more like motorcycle weight (this one weighs about the same he does)even a small car like the twingo is around 4 times his weight
>>287168994I think it's more that everyone just looks the same as him. Everyone's a jacked up sculpted guy now.
>>287164311>He could get Fei's timing but Himuro is out of his league.As expected of a super strong guy like the Icy Emperor.
>>287164330Himuro is even stronger than Ohmori.
>>287164293Fight should've just ended here
>>287168561This is how it should've gone
>>287164547Himuro is really strong. He said so himself, remember?
>>287164058Why does he have breasts
>>287168561A razor thin margin...
>>287164311>TimingI giggled like a little girl
>>287160270You say this every time he posts.
>>287169950And it works!
>>287168598When you're up against a tough cookie you "Hex" them by serving them compliments about their strength, fighting prowls, their speed, saying things like "If I get hit even once I'm done for!". You do this enough times it'll nerf your opponent, turning them into a jobberspeaking moron who fights like they've never thrown a punch before despite their build and history as a fighter thus securing yourself an easy win Sandro has a habit of having the characters he intends to lose get complimented so Sandro can sell you on the idea that they're totally strong despite whiffing their punches and eating shit
>>287164977Gozo managed that too, didn't he?
>>287164311I-is that the Niko style: Demonswheel?
>>287158701"Our" memes are getting so abstract and niche, I had a chuckle seeing what amounts to a bunch of scribbles photoshopped on top of a picture of a grill. It's awesome.
>>287164359So... Waka's new technique is that he moves by contracting his leg muscles? As opposed to somehow moving with totally limp legs?
>>287170661It's like Baki's roach dash without the roach.
>>287170703No it isnt.Its nothing like it
>>287164311THE TIMING THE TIMING THE TIMING THE TIMING THE TIMING THE TIMING THE TIMING ABSJDJFKFKCOKDDJNRNTNFKDKKDKD AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>287160135Is there somewhere I can read all of these? They're amazing and remind me of something another anon (maybe you?) was doing for bnha
>>287164311TIMINNGGGGG
how could a series go from so good to so bad, man? Kengan was actually pretty decent a bit into omega, too. It only got bad around the tournament arc with purgatory.
>>287168561>0 dmg is part of the plan>my bones are shaking>niko shows up at the endImpressive
So was the reason waka’s ankle never healed simply because his muscles were too tough for doctors to do surgery on?
>>287171424It’s to give Sandro an out for all of his future fights.
>>287168561I'm reminded of that time Raian ripped a guy in half vertically and there has yet to be a feat of strength that off the wall bullshit
>>287171424Sandro never goes into why it never healed properly or was ever fixed, it's just a fucked ankle
The Fraudy Emperor vs The Wild FraudsterThe man from the Inside... who isn't any stronger than average despite that and is instead known for his icy beverages. His experience in the Inside is better used for torture rather than fighting.The man with superman syndrome... Who can't use his full power without having his body fall part and gets easily disabled by attacks despite having the strongest muscles in the world. A glass cannon disguised as a tank.Who is the lesser fraud?
>>287173344Waka got several legit wins and tanked Julius and Fei.
>>287164181himuro should have aimed at wakatsuki's bad ankle
>>287173553>tanked FeiThat image of him gasping as he tries to hold on to the ring to avoid getting ring outed just flashed in my head.

>>287158463Blasephy!
>>287164547Yeah, obviously. Himuro said so himself in this very chapter. Which means it's a good thing that he hasn't taken any yet.

>>287164359Oh yeah, that technique Waka unveiled during his fight with Omori, where the most memorable thing that happened was Metsudo randomly bringing up Yumigahama again out of nowhere to shit on him.

>>287171288>It only got bad around the tournament arc with purgatory.It got irredeemably bad at chapter 50. Yes, irredeemably. With Ohma's return, it was the beginning of the end.
>>287179140I only read Kengan by reading it in the chapter dump threads when I happen to be around and sometimes I miss a chapter or two but I don't think I miss much.
>>287179140Kengan Omega Chapter 349. I added the "lighthouse" for a future "me". I hope "we" appreciate it
>Waka taking over a chapter just to beat someone who jobbed to KanedaHoly fucking nerfedWaka was the top tier gatekeeper at one point and now he's struggling against someone who didn't even make it to the KAT
>>287181505Watch it, Himuro "the Icy Emperor" Ryo is "on par with the legends"
>>287181505You dare disrespect our HERO like this? I'm sending Koga to your house.
>>287181505>strugglingWaka is being nice. Even though he says he respects Himuro there's a very clear difference between a fight and a deathmatch.
>>287181505Its worse than that, its implied that Waka had to use his new mini blast core for movement to even hit him and Himuro looks completely fine afterwards. I think Kaneda's jabs did more damage to Himuro than Waka's mini blast core amped full body slam
>>287163440I gotta hope and cope somehow.
>>287182101To me it seems like Waka is kind of using Himuro for practice.But in the meta sense it doesn't even matter, author is wasting Waka's new tricks reveal on this garbage filler fight, which probably means he probably won't get to do anything relevant later on.
>>287161385>>287161429It doesn't even matter how hard I tryKeep that in mind, I started a fight with small fryAll I know time is a valuable thingWatch it fly as the chapters stringGetting the timing down is my way, as anon's sanity fades away
>>287182506It's so un-fath-om-ble
My fellow Keng/a/ners. What happens when we use the first 4 letters of Wakatsuki's name and isolate this combination?WakaNow what happens when we remove the 2nd A and replace this with the letter U?WakuWith this new combination, we must now duplicate it and sit it next the the first one,Waku Waku Now with this new combination we must now take it to the bathroom. Turn off the lights, stare into the mirror and say this combination 3 times. What will happen?
>>287182101>Himuro tanking Waka's Blast Core-amped chargeIt's morbidly funny, in a sense, that people are only irritated instead of exploding into an uproar, because EVERYBODY was already expecting Himuro to no-sell some direct hits. If anything, the more surprising thing is how Himuro didn't go into a tirade about how top 10 Waka's strength is after it happened.
At what point did omega become a laughing stock?
>>287164359>HE USED HIS LEGS TO DASH, HE'S THE WORST MATCHUP FOR THE BOY
>>287185035Most will say when Ohma was brought back. Few will say during Rolon vs Ohma. A small forgiving amount will say during the champions filler tournament that did fuck all.
>Omori jobbed to Waka>HIMuro forced Waka to reveal new trickHimuro is Fang tier
>>287185035I can pinpoint it to exactly "Kure Family Tradition: Copy" where i gave up any hope and was forced to learn to enjoy it for the party or perish. It was a Gu ritual. We didnt have as many sandroisms back then so it wasnt quite as easy to scale the "wall" as it is today. The "tragedy" was what i needed to reach "transcendence" in the party
>>287164033Fuck's sake, the very first panel is already giving me AI vibes. Something about the way it's framed. I know the whole thing is AI now, including the writing, but it's annoying when it's extra noticeable. >>287164272>>287164311Himuro should have gotten blasted across the street after this. Unless because of the mistiming, Waka didn't connect fully. Or maybe Himuro read the move and moved backwards to lighten the blow. Sandro loves that one. This just looks like Waka just made Himuro lose his balance in a clumsy cutesy way. >>287164330Daro really used his Asura drawing to try and get AI to recreate that Waka again, didn't he? Looks fucking awful. Also everyone's faces look extra awful. It's like Daro forgot how to actually draw them or just left in the AI's first attempt. Both seem equally likely. >>287164359Ahh, Gear 2. I get it now.
Do you think it's time for THE HIMURO to transcend himself and go ABOVE the legends?
>>287168561That one panel genuinely looks better than the shit Daro "draws" now.
>>287185486His special ability "on par with the legends" has the unfortunate side effect of dragging the legends up with him if he were to surpass them to maintain that par. He is ontologically stuck where he is
>>287185035Lolong moved?!!?!?!Probably earlier but that was such a tiny thing but entirely symptomatic of the whole series. Just ludicrous amounts of wankery.
What if its revealed Himuro trained Niko style and used it to defeat Waka?
>>287185035I knew it would become shit when Ohma came back but the point of no return was 'you were too strong to win'.
Himuro made Waka bleed
>>287185035Carlos Medel having used wikihow to learn Capoeira. That's the exact moment I knew that the story was firmly going downhill. This was the first of many mirror matches within KvP and it showed just how creatively bankrupt the story was becoming because look at Carlos' opponent. A Muay Thai practitioner who turned boxer to shore up what he considered a weakness of his own martial arts. While we never get any concept to how Gaolang faired in his early career, we got flashes of how things had become in his fight with Kaneda where Gaolang talks about defeating three heavyweight title holders in various fashion. It reinforced his skill as a boxer but the real heavy lifting always came from how he actually was just good at it. He earned his moniker of "the acme of striking" in his fight with Agito Carlos is a mess of a character because he's literally a reflection of Gaolang, except he started punch centric and incorporated kicking in later. But he's not a better boxer (and he was supposed to be) and his capoeira didn't amount to much but him hurting himself. Gaolang is just objectively a better boxer and it's kind of laughable that Carlos thought he would fight better by dropping weiggt and it really calls into question why he's even a big deal in Purgatory. The final nail on the coffin was Gaolang's "powerup" for Omega which is just a somewhat more durable right fist. God Fist is the first of many dumb upgrades which just showed that Sandro can't take characters higher than Asura. The KvP tournament should really have been filled with losers from the KAT, like Rihito, who have actual room to grow within reason. Small wonder that Falcon v Rihito is one of the only good fights in the whole tournament.
>>287186849We also got the greatest line for the entire tournament. Better than Rolon moved, better than you were awesome, better than you got it all wrong. What a way to deflate any confidence people might have had in Purgatory when their first fighter has to win on a technicality after getting his face caved in.
>>287186849>The KvP tournament should really have been filled with losers from the KAT,Yet another reason why beinging back Ohma was the single worst decision ever to be made in the history of this series. Everyone and everything had to "scale" to Ohma and literally everyone and everything lost it's charm. Insane how you can accurately pinpoint the exact microsecond where everything turned into shit.
>>287186849Yeah this was really stupid. Medel should've been a pure boxer that outclasses Gaolang in boxing to the point that Gaolang is forced to bring out his muay thai just to get an edge over him.
>>287181505Padding this story out for as long as possible takes priority over everything else.
>>287186991>Everyone and everything had to "scale" to OhmaI wouldn't frame it like this. Ohma is a symptom of the problem but not the cause. The problem is that it's very difficult to improve the fighting styles of certain Asura characters who were already basically at the top of their game. And the way Sandro chose to do so is laughable. Gaolang needed to be given an interesting counter match because realistically, nobody should be on his level of striking prowess. Or his fight needed to be handled the same way Gensai vs Agito was, two experts who cannot afford to make mistakes and it becomes an intense battle of reading ahead and trying to setup a win condition (Critical hit devil's lance or Dragon shot). The latter option only works when we at least get told what the other guy can do to end a fight quickly. Like how Saw's hammer of burma got introduced at the start of his fight with Rei. Medel would need an iconic finisher we learn about before or during the fight since he only gets the one. Agito and Okubo also got hit with this hard. The former just did what they already were doing in Asura by switching between formless and martial arts...but faster I guess? Okubo much later in the story has his Golden 8 Seconds which is just him using a punch combo, which is totally against his core gimmick of switching up attack/defense maneuvers on the fly. The only good powerup was Julius' God Killer because A) he was a KAT loser with an obvious problem to overcome. and B) it is a logical powerup that works with his established skillset. I get that the guy who doesn't want to use techniques would develop something similar to Blast core but uniquely keyed to his own specialty. If Toa Mudo had been written a bit more interestingly and the fight didn't end with essentially a one-shot after the reveal. I think that match would easily be the best in KvP. It's still towards the top and it's probably the only good Mirror fights.
>>287186849>The KvP tournament should really have been filled with losers from the KAT, like Rihito, who have actual room to grow within reason. Small wonder that Falcon v Rihito is one of the only good fights in the whole tournament.Agreed. I'd add that he pre-chapter 50 fights in Omega are so good precisely because it's filled with fights from weaker fighters who have room to grow. Pic related is way better than just about any fight we've had in the past 100+ chapters because it was purely designed to show how much Koga has "grown within reason" as a fighter. And this growth feels FAR more rewarding and deserved than the """"growth"""" he showed when he bullied Xia Ji and Yumi. The fight between Ryuki and Akoya similarly was less a fight about power levels and techniques and all that, and more of a way to show Ryuki's inner turmoil and how Koga has changed him.As another example, take Kokuro. He's pretty much the best supporting character for Koga similarly because he helped Koga "grow within reason"
>>287186849It's crazy how years of Omega memes about shit like "the app" have led me to forget he did at least use a book, and not an app for this.
>>287187280>And this growth feels FAR more rewarding and deserved than the """"growth"""" he showed when he bullied Xia Ji and Yumi.Part of that, and part of why Asura worked is because there was actual time put into these developments. Koga is training and once he got past the initial hurdle and started up with his Uncle, the concept of a finisher move came up. The story already planted that seed with Kokuro's Stinger. Then Yumi bullies Koga and it awakens a realization leading to the Brazilian kick against Orca along with just how Koga is doing better as a fighter overall. The same is true with your Ryuki/Akoya example. Ryuki's inner turmoil was part of his development and whether he fought to kill would make or break his friendship with Koga and he ultimately chose the right path. Unsurprisingly I also like Akoya's fight with Nicolas because it's interesting to see two absolute psychos slowly unwind on each other. And Sahate is a solid counter ability for Akoya's defensive and reaction time based style. The Kenichi arc for Koga was really the best writing the series had across the board. All the elements were working well together and stuff like Rihito vs Mokichi was a respectful fight instead of the messy shit we've gotten afterwards. I also think there was a mistake made earlier than chapter 50 in hindsight. Probably another example of the editor difference between the series but I think that Kokuro being the strongest member of the "new generation" was a mistake. KvP would benefit from having at least one of those fighters in the bracket. Instead Kokuro and the Pankrator dude just got fed to Ryuki. I think Nitoku could have fit the bill with a minor re-write to his backstory. Instead of being a fighter that went blow for blow with Agito, have him be a lesser known New Generation because he's still a flaky fighter whose only put in a couple matches over the years, but each one is a resounding victory before he fucks off back to writing books.
>>287186849The Medel and Gaolang fight is the canary in the mine of the series. In Ashura Sandro wasn't afraid to let his characters get dirty and duke it out brutally, showing every hit, every blood splatter and breaking of bones, and the struggle in the fight from both sides. But something happened (probably the netflix deal) where now he realizes he does have something to lose so now he 'protects' them and the kengan cast barely lose now and mainly to each other. If a character gets beat up like Raian or recently Liu it's done off screen. Sandro went from 'I have nothing to lose!' to 'oh no I have something to lose!' and it nosedived his writing
>>287187279The worst thing about God Killer is that Sandro just started immediately treating it as a Removal/Advance-like transformation instead of a precision tool.
Man, I'm rereading Gaolang vs Carlos and I genuinely love it. I don't know if years of dog shit has just lowered the bar severely or what but it's actually a really fun fight. I'm pretty sure I liked it when it first came out too. Carlos shit talked so much saying stuff like "I'm faster than light" or "My strikes can even kill a god" and all that. It also had multiple "Is he Kuroki tier??" shit too, which is hilarious looking back. And a fun instance of "He was too strong".
>>287187902It's a fight that's very fun to laugh at and poke fun of; that's its biggest virtue.
>>287187279>I wouldn't frame it like this. Ohma is a symptom of the problem but not the causeOf course. It's just easier to say "Ohma came back" than "Sandro decided to make Ohma come back" really. And another problem is that for whatever reason Sandro REALLY got his mind stuck on certain favourites. I don't know if he was just really holding himself back for the first 50 chapters or what but the rampant favouritism for certain characters is just downright comical at times. Like this >>287187753 anon says, at some point Sandro got afraid of showing his favourites lose outright. 90% of the time there had to be a catch of some sort of an unfairness somehow. >>287187471I had such vivid memories of the app but turns out it was just a webpage for buying the book.
>>287187954Oh yeah, it's undeniably silly. But still good imo. Also the heavy hitter actually looked like they were hitting with some fucking weight behind their attacks, which is so incredibly refreshing to see. Nowadays every character looks like they're being tickled with feathers but masked with a 3 billion speed lines on the page. Case in point, Waka tackling Himuro and Himuro just daintly oopsy-daisy-ly falling over instead of joining the Artemis crew on the moon.
Forgot the page. Silly me. Admittedly, Carlos doesn't go flying after this kick, but still. It's just nice to actually see.
>>287187902The fight is not without good moments or at least stuff to enjoy. It's just not a good fight for Gaolang and set a bad precedent for Purgatory as a whole when prior to this, their only bad fight was from an imposter and the hype was still there that people like Jose were big hitters strong enough to take on former Fangs like Yumi. Again, back when people might have respected Yumigahara before his humiliation ritual.
Genuinely what was the point of fellating and hyping Lolong/Rolong for 2 years, only to give him such a disappointing debut fight in the manga?
>>287188084You're right. Saying it's a good fight was not the right choice of words. It was an enjoyable fight is what I should have said.
>>287178008Crazy to think this dude actually met kazzy
>>287186968Purgatory really did not have a single clean win. Even Liu, good as the fight was, was a last effort ring out and Falcon (Falcon means Hayabusa) is marred by the poison.
>>287188227Subversion :^)
>>287164077I know it's bullshit meant to make Himuro look better but that's wholesome
>>287165888Yeah I hate it, Waka used to be a goddamn mountain
>>287187959https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCTRyBz6bdo
>>287164096His “core” is now purely “blast”
>>287189849>at some point Sandro got afraid of showing his favourites lose outright. 90% of the time there had to be a catch of some sort of an unfairness somehow.I don't think that's a cynical enough way to look at things, and the sentiment that Sandro gives enough of a fuck to pick and choose favourites is common but naive Sandro is simply treating the old characters better because they're far more likely to have fans, and actively placating his readership by having the characters with the most fans win or only lose by technicality is part of the businessIt's very similar to wrestling, which Sandro is on record to like a lot
>>287164157>Himuro, you have mastered the art of “pattycake” but can you bake me a cake?
>>287163951Their legs look the same size. Is Waka a leglet?
>>287188227He was never meant to be a threat. Reminder than Lolong was originally supposed to get 1shot by Ohma.
>>287171424just foreshadowing so he can job to Cohma, the ankle hasn't been a problem ever since he lost to him
>>287188074>this man sacrificed his power for more speed (faster than light)>uhmmm actually the heavyweight boxer is still superior in terms of speed and he's gonna beat the shit out of him and Carlos can have capoeira or somethingwhat was the point lol?
It's been 5 years. Get OVER it.

>>287191972The Dailies really just makes this more jarring since he was completely dissatisfied with the boxing world and doesn't consider them as warriors but then suddenly this completely unknown guy was just the top of the verse and JUST left before he got on.

>>287193443Kaiji is pretty muscular for a deadbeat who lays on the floor crying and drinking. I think he might have Superman Syndrome. Kurosawa could take both of them, though.
>>287193736Kaiji actually beats up quite a few guys. Took like 10 dudes to restrain him in part 4.But just like a Sandro manga, sometimes the damage doesn't count... Miyoshi and Maeda just got over the nasty beatdown Kaiji gave them pretty fast
>Ha, Kaiji! I decided to stop writing novels and branched out into mangas instead, wanna read my new book? I call it Kengan Omega!
This is so funny
>>287194135I need an edit
>>287194010Alright, I'm making a Fukumoto KAT bracket when I get off work. Gai Kudo is an undisputed finalist/winner though.
>>287194182Doushita (rugbyhead blacksuit) should at least get to R2
>>287194147Himuro casually gaining like 30kgs.
>>287194147Especially funny when just a few fucking panels ago they just established Waka having 50 times the muscle density of normal people. Sure, that doesn't mean 50 times strong as it also says and Himuro isn't an average person either. BUT THIS SHIT STILL SHOULD HAVE FUCKING SENT HIM FLYING. IT'S SO FUCKING DUMB. It's like Sandro is retconning shit in real fucking time. Just panel to panel and shit's already been retconned.
>>287191617>It's been nearly 4 years since Xia Ji made a full body appearanceI can't let go...
>>287181813This, the guy is busting out an unpolished technique he's testing on Himuro. He's not nearly as pressed to really fight Himuro as much as Himuro is to fight Waka>>287185035It wasn't Ohma's return, that was just a really bad decision. It was during the middle of KvP where people really started to lose hope that Sandro knew what he was doing and then after the back to back shit eating that was Fei dying, Lolong losing and Eddie getting no-diffed after teabagging 6 guys is when Kengan lost it's credibility
>>287191972You know empty lip service is one of the most laughed at aspects of Omega right? The whole>you were awesomememe is the epitome of that. Beat a guy bloody without taking any damage and just say it was a good fight before walking off while the opponent gets carried off by EMS.
>>287187617Sandro is actually kind of bad at selling his Fighters to the reader. Kokuro might have started out of a side character for Koga's growth but both him and Yurikawa were always meant to get fed to Ryuki. It's why Kokuro is "The Strongest" and not just an a guy who's making waves in the Kengan scene. Sandro does the same thing with Nitoku, he needs to sell that Nitoku isn't some flaky doofus so he turns the guy into one of the few fighters who didn't quit after Agito spanked them. If anything Nitoku's backstory as a Fighter is somewhat a mixture of Waka and Hatsumi, he has Waka's backstory as a guy who fought the greatest and still kept fighting but he's also got Hatsumi's flaky nature
>>287189849This is, and always will be, Carlos "The Mexican" Medel's theme song to me.
>>287185035KVP
>>287187959>Okay, I'm a boxer, but I'm making a foray into no-holds barred stuff. I need to learn kicking Reasonable. So, is he going to do Karate? Kickboxing? Muay Thai? Styles that provenly work with boxing?>Nah, I'll do Capoeria
>>287187280>>287187617The funny thing is Koga's growth isn't even "without reason" it's just very rarely on screen. Like he hasn't even grown fast enough to become relevant to the top tiers yet. Koga is not some mary sue who explodes in power.The issue is that Koga didn't struggle at all against Xia Ji or Yumi so it just felt stupid, they weren't hard won fights so it just felt like Koga glaze. even though his power has been far more earned than say, Cosmo leaping through tiers in a week or Ohma flashback poweruping his way to the top of the tournament in the KAT.And this misses what made original Koga appealing was that he always took a beating and kept going which is what made him appealing, he would be super cocky, jump into a situation, not be able to handle it and then STAY THERE for two chapters and improve. Like with Seki's training, he was completely out of his depth but just stayed there and kept grinding until he earned Seki's respect. Or how he did 100 matches of the footwork game against Ryuki and lost 99 and managed to win once. Even in that Orca fight (which I agree is one of the best in the series) it wasn't that he was a reasonable opponent for Koga it was that Koga actually struggled a lot and barely beat him. But then Koga sort of got his arrogance beat out of him but as a result he stopped leaping into situations and getting his ass kicked and started fighting people he could beat and it made him less interesting. The best single fight in Omega is the Koga/Ryuki fight and it's got a lot of reasons why it's good and one of them is that Koga gets absolutely hammered for most of it and breaks both hands and still wins. But the author doesn't write strong villains any more, if he ever did. And he refuses to match Koga up against an Ashura vet where he'd be forced to give them good moments, so the result is that Koga's fights went downhill badly.

>>287164209 For some reason, Himuro reminded me of Ryo Narushima on this page.
>>287164535 That and the fact Waka is a 50 yo ife long fighter and should be aware of his weaknesses better than anyone else.
>>287164261 I hope he beats him with a Niko technique.
>>287197424This is special because Gaolang is explicitly saying Carlos is better than him. Normal lip service is vague praise that carries no meaning like the opponent being arbitrarily awesome or the fight being arbitrarily closeCarlos' only downfall is that he needed to hit Gaolang 100 times to take him down while Gaolang only need 5. He was better but not 20 times better

He's got some smug grin." >Agito: "He goes by "Hells Manager" they say he's a fighter who's flawless. He can read an opponents moves and intentions and toys with them.

>>287196781Be grateful anon. I'd rather have the only good Omega characters like Xia and our hero Luohan to be offscreen forever than see them put in yet another villain humiliation ritual
>>287187902I like some parts of it especially early cocky Carlos and that part at the end where he tanked a God Glow and dragged Gaolang down with him through sheer willpowerEverything in between is retarded though. Why make him an Eddie Gordo larper with only 20 hours of training against a guy who was doing muay thai training since he was a kid and trying to present him as some deadly striker.
>>287200005>The issue is that Koga didn't struggle at all against Xia Ji or Yumi so it just felt stupidI agree with this. Once he lost his MC position the writing doesn't know what to do with Koga at all. So he just rapidly grows stronger off-screen so he can be where the story wants with him despite it not being earned. His Kenichi arc is the best part of the story and I kind of wish that Kengan kept him as a focus and only occasionally used other fighters to handle issues Koga or Ryuki weren't capable of handling. But it's not like the story knew where it wanted to go with the worm plotline either since it turned into a retarded MGS story about clones and memory implants. >The best single fight in Omega is the Koga/Ryuki fightI understand where you are coming from but I can't fully agree on this one only because the execution and some stuff going into it will never sit well with me. I will never accept that Koga is learning Ohma's full niko style as I think it's a bit too on the nose for a "protagonist power" on top of Koga having the Fist eye. And since both fighters can use it the idea of indestructible becomes a sort of video game stat check that lets them tank damage they probably shouldn't be able too purely for plot reasons. Which was also the worst part of Wakatsuki vs Ohma back in Asura. I can't completely say that Koga using the niko style is a bad thing, his fight with Leonardo had a novel usage of iron ringer. And it does fit his concept of absorbing moves from his various teachers as well as juxtaposing Ryuki having learned the Koei style from Ohma's rival so it's a mixed bag approach. But I will grant you that the finisher for the fight is pure, undistilled, brilliance. If there was ever a way for Koga to knock some sense into murder Ryuki, it was that. >>287200173The food wars guy with a straight up Nen ability will never not be the dumbest thing. I pick that.

>>287208376This arc just sucks fundamentally. There's too many fucking POVs for a battle royale. The pacing is glacial (except that one time it wasn't, why was Realcolas trashed almost immediately). The matchups are complete nonsense too. Who ever wondered how a fight between Wakatsuki and Himuro would go down? The Monke Worm dude looks more like a proper opponent for Waka.
>>287208722>except that one time it wasn't, why was Realcolas trashed almost immediately>bring back old character after like half a decade IRL>retcon one of your best flashbacks on a whim in order to resurrect the dead flashback jobber from said character's backstory>completely shit on said character by saying he jobbed to the flashback jobber and forgot>throw revived villain nobody asked for into new tournament to pad the numbers>engineer rematch between villain and aforementioned character>jean asks a reasonable question about why he's even alive, post retcon, if he lost>sandro stares into the camera through nicolas' eyes and tells the reader to eat shit and die>jean jobs in a way that only humiliates him further and does nothing to hype up realcolas since he just beat up a coma patient >further retcons jean's martial art>this was ALL to set up liu vs nicolas apparently>it gets offscreened>the second we cut back to it, nicolas' humiliation ritual starts and he randomly forgets how to fight and how to pop blood vessels with a touch, onesidedly eats shit>one ruined formerly well liked character, one revived and wasted villain, several chapters of retconning and "hype" total, all for the sake of engineering an 80% offscreened fight with no real meaning to either character involvedBravo Sandro.
>>287208376>battle royale arc>but it's actually a succession of meaningless 1v1s between characters who are narratively running on fumes, where the outcome doesn't actually matter and aren't fights as much as they are Pokémon battles>villains are hilariously outmatched and explode the second they have to do something onscreen so the only thing that actually happens are increasingly stupider fights between protagonistsWe have been on this for 6 months and I don't think actually anything happened. The worst part is due to Sandro's masterful pacing, we could be reading Ohma vs Shen in 3 months, or reading Kaneda vs Carlos in 2 years and there would be functionally no difference either way. A complete and utter destruction of the senses.
>>287208925We could get both of those, and it wouldn't matter, somehow.
>>287170661>As opposed to somehow moving with totally limp legs?Waka once lived under a different identity.
>>287208925>>287209060This arc could genuinely be stretched over a decade.If you add commentators to every fight and stuff half of the chapter with exposition and reaction faces, you could easily turn a three chapter battle into a seven chapter slog (plus an eighth for the immediate aftermath).After that, have a "cooldown" period that can be stretched to five chapters about other people reacting to the news of the fight, and then another two chapters about possible rule changes.Every ten chapters, include a recap of the rules.Just like that, you've wasted three and a half months on a single fight.Repeat endlessly until you've made it through literally every bit character.
>>287209106In fairness, Berserker Bowl was the same story. This shit could have been as long as the KAT in Asura if were were shown every fight and all of these guys actually mattered. I have no doubt most of the guys in the current arc are getting the Falcon treatment.
>>287187279>all this talk only to wank fucking Julius and his retarded "not a technique teehee" drill arms.Total juliusfaggot death.
>>287187279>The only good powerup was Julius' God KillerI have to express the exact opposite opinion.Julius is the EASIEST Asura-originating character to give a power-up to. Literally just make him bigger and stronger.He represented a purity that is only diluted by Gott-Toter, which only made him feel like a knock-off Wakatsuki. What made the match-up between Julius and Waka interesting is that they're opposite approaches to the idea of overwhelming strength, in a sense.Gott-Toter is a genuine moral defeat and a concession that feels uncharacteristic to Julius's dedication to stregth.
>>287209476Yeah the Julius buff is a real concession of how reliant on named techniques kengan has becomeEven the guy whose whole gimmick is not using them had to get one
>>287209293>suddenly remembering the way people were getting excited for random bit jobbers like Kim Seung-Yuop, thinking he'd be a worm or something because otherwise Koga's pool was too much of a freebie>Rihito's ENTIRE pool was offscreened>legends legends legends on par with the legendsIt's rarely true when people say things like this, but Kengan is one of the few examples where GENUINELY I would trust some random moron from here or reddit or wherever to write over Sandro.
>>287209293>all the Mark Myers dark horse hypeAll gone... like tears in rain...
>>287205783>So he just rapidly grows stronger off-screen so he can be where the story wants with him despite it not being earned.His power growth is not rapid that's the thing that baffles me, he's been training like a madman for years and is described as having tons of potential it's actually entirely reasonable for him to beat Xia Ji and then Yumi the issue is that since he hasn't gotten focus we don't see the training on screen. Koga's development has actually been slow rolled, he'd still lose against the Ohma from the Raian fight. >I will never accept that Koga is learning Ohma's full niko style as I think it's a bit too on the nose for a "protagonist power" on top of Koga having the Fist eye. And since both fighters can use it the idea of indestructible becomes a sort of video game stat check that lets them tank damage they probably shouldn't be able too purely for plot reasons.While I was actually very unhappy at Koga becoming yet another Niko style user the fact that he only knows a couple moves and not well is part of the tension here, for instance he actually breaks his hands because of that and it's one of the things that raises the tension. And indestructible is less relevant here than it normally is, I don't think there's a single instance of it being as bad as the Wakatsuki fight where Ohma openly says it's barely doing anything and yet it keeps him going the whole fight
>>287187279Some good points here but I'd say Ohma is more than a symptom, the issue is that at the start of Omega the Kengan Association is in disarray so we're told they only have access to a couple of heavy hitters, Wakatsuki, Gaolang and Okubo (and this was back when Okubo was a heavy hitter and not a complete joke) and wouldn't have total freedom in how they could pick. And a lot of the KAT guys were guys they brought as one-offs so it would make sense for the power level to get ratcheted down. Then they found Agito fairly early and of course Metsudo has a new fang, so that's two more. But you still have loads out of action like Kuroki, Julius, Hatsumi, Raian, Rei, and of course no Ohma. But the issue is instead of these guys coming back slowly if at all, letting the new cast breathe, they all get dumped back into the mix along with Ohma immediately. So the WORM having the upper hand with talent is gone, let alone Purgatory, they bring only two new cast members to the tournament (Ryuki and Nitoku, Hayami I guess but he's a Niko clone). The power level begins skyrocketing.
>>287208376There is really nothing more to add. A dump thread will die out in less than 100 posts which will consist of people egurgitating the same talking points as always.
>>287209293Luca Tyrant my beloved, you were gone too soon
>>287209293Luca Tyrant? All par with the legends
>>287209293Why even have pages like this if you're just going to skip past basically everything minus, like, two fights?
>>287212644My motives... are complex.
One thing about Koga that annoys me is how real the meme "everybody loves Koga' is. Koga's trained with nearly everybody, it's actually easier to name the people Koga hasn't trained with. Off my head Koga's trained with:Seki and crew Agito and LolongOhma Kure clanGaoh MukakuLiu and MedelCosmo and AdamShenAnd it's not like Koga begged them or there was extrenuating circumstances, Koga just rolled up to each one and said "bro train me" and everyone said "sure I got nothing better to do then waste my time on a scrub". It just reads as bad fanfiction
>>287202319That took longer than expected.
>>287213699I feel like that's almost entirely down to the fact that so much of Koga's progrrssion is straight up off-screen. We never really get to see him interact properly, in a meaningful manner, with some of these characters. We know they're all aware of each other because they're part of the same group/hang around in similar circles, but we don't really see any of it.
>>287213699Worst of all is that even with all this baggage Koga is barely relevant. He and Ryuki are like Hassad and Medicine man with the way the story just cuts to them for a brief moment from time to time to take a break from the actual plot not that there's much of a plot going on
>>287213907>Nikaidou, Ootsuki, and Sahara don't get inAwww, still, nice work. Bobby is the part 6 RV guy right? Also, Ginji is "HEAR OF SILVER" is that a typo?

>>287209476>>287209510>Gott-Toter is a genuine moral defeat and a concession that feels uncharacteristic to Julius's dedication to stregth.I don't see how this is the case. It's not like Blast core is a technique under these definitions since it's just flexing really hard and releasing that energy. Julius crafting his own version was fair game. Just making him bigger doesn't solve his problem anymore than Waka dedicating more time to Karate would have helped him in a rematch with Agito as per his backstory in Asura. That's why he developed the core as well as learned grappling. Fighters need new tools to improve and someone like Julius has limited options for what he can incorporate since he's taking martial arts off the table. As another anon pointed out though, the followup for Gott-totter is a problem but in the Toa fight it felt like the right direction for Julius to be moving in. >>287210691>And indestructible is less relevant here than it normally isIt's why Koga could even tank some R. Palms and was featured heavily in their fight. Koga only broke both his hands because of Gao's ironclad and they both took way more damage than I think is reasonable because they kept tightening up at just the right moments.

>>287215122>Blast core[...] just flexing really hard and releasing that energyAdamantine Kata is just flexing really hard.Possessing Spirit is just making your heart beat really fast.Removal is just hysterical strength.I absolutely do think of Blast Core as a technique, but that's besides my main point, which is this: I would not want to see Julius develop his own version of Possessing Spirit or Removal, for the same reasons I do not want to see him develop his own version of Blast Core, and for the same reasons why I believe God Glow fails as a power-up for Gaolang. They're basically dipping into the gimmicks of other characters, and risking turning themselves into just ersatzs of Wakatsuki and Saw Paing respectively.Julius and Gaolang, especially, are hurt by this, because their whole point is that they are just really good at the "fundamentals", so to speak.Okubo's Golden Eight Seconds also fails for this reason, even though it technically doesn't dip into anybody else's gimmicks. It clashes with his main thing of just being a really good MMA guy. That's what I take umbrage with.
>>287215917Thank you
>>287215917it's just right!
>>287215917And here's if I hadn't scaled the detailed page down to 50%. I did that because I thought the full size would make the file size too big, but it worked out
>>287168561>>287215917>>287216064This one is from the reddit, yeah?
>>287215948>They're basically dipping into the gimmicks of other characters,Julius is already a strongman obsessed with muscles and pure strength. I just feel that >hit them really, really, haymaker hardIs about the only thing he could gain beyond just fighting smarter. The demonstrated defensive aspect of Gott-totter by applying rotation is also in line with Julius having arguably the highest physical resilience in the cast. Which made it unique compared to blast core along with not needing a windup or sacrificing his striking range. It's not stealing a gimmick poorly like Gaolang, it's honestly an improvement that could only happen from someone like Julius who has a phD in body science. I will defend the move but I get your position. If he dipped into other gimmicks or it didn't have just the right logic behind it. I would not feel the same way. Also this whole talking point reminded me of another failed power up. Kaneda and his spider web was clearly inspired by Gaolang locking Agito out of options back in the KAT. But it's just unbelievable that Kaneda of all people has the physique or reflexes to manage that.
