>>287405380Gaolang you tsundere motherfucker, why are you back on speaking terms with Saw?

Chapter 206: Cloud
>>287405560>when you tell the autist to stop playing with legos
>>287405444Wouldn't it be awesome if he turned it all around
>>287405614BUT IN THE END IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER
>>287405352kwab
>>287405702Come on Sen... dodge it and defeat the Fang!
>>287405380>an elbow "meant to defeat", at thatThis line irritates me deeply; from the moment I first read it all those years ago when all we had were vietnamese scanlations (Nigo style).Even if this stretch of KA is near the zenith of Sandro's work, I guess his garbage writing tendencies is always there, lurking beneath the surface.What the FUCK does Kaolan mean here? Can anyone help me understand? Are there any other purposes to an elbow? Why is this one a defeating elbow? What happens if you elbow someone with a non-defeating elbow, but you knock them out? "My bad bro; I didn't actually mean to do that..."
>>287405482I can't believe agito blocked this, he's unfathomable
>>287405398Because Saw got his smile and optimism back.
>>287405781We lost a real one... I will always be salty at this loss.
DOEN
>>287405352>No real explanation given>>287405482>He blocked it? How? Dunno, but he did!Also>loooog
>>287405781Hatsumi eating shit is so good, hate him a lot.
>>287405849Hatsumibros, he isn't even miffled this time...
>>287405745it means it's an elbow blow meant to knock out instantly, not just a simple hit.
>>287405808I love that panel of Nogi falling to his knees.
>>287405795>we have arrivedGET OUTTA MY HEAD GET OUTTA MY HEAD
>>287405495did Agito use his cock? how did he spear him what
>>287405781people were making fun of these face-to-ground panels in the Real Timers Tournament but they've been there all along
>>287405789Substitution jutsu is bullshit!
>>287405390Just a scratch
>>287405833>no weaknesses>free combo into thisfucking bullshit character.
>>287405808This will not stand
>>287405742>>287405756my favorite mid-dialouge knock out maybe ever... this was such a subversion. Sure Hatsumi had his hands around Agito's hips like a kid, but our MC Ohma just glazed him surely he has a comeba-I meant to say the fight can't be ov-
>>287405352I just realized daro forgot to draw sens stubble here
>>287405795I love this page. Even if the writing is an ominous sign of what Kengan "becomes", Agito is so cool
>>287405905his ноги gave out
>>287405833really fun infographic, feels like out of SF2 or smash bros
>new update gave Agito a massive counterattack that punishes grabsUh...that doesn't seem very fair...
>>287405849so sen did literally nothing and then diedKWAB
>>287405849Thanks OP, anime version: https://youtu.be/Wb-mHTfR0vQ?si=u_loyejts21iDTI2I completely forgot to do the poll for R3 today só I'll post after tomorrow's dump, unless someone else feels like doing it
>>287405833>good luck I'm behind 5 seikukens
>>287405781I always wanted Hatsumi to win over Agito since my first read. Agito's know everything evolution gimmick is just so damn lame. Him being a stoic autist loyalty fag just isn't endearing at all.
>>287405742>I'll just deflect whatever he throws at me!>except for that I guess Why did a kick catch him unaware again?>>287405745I suppose it means an elbow with his full weight behind it. Agito is known for playing around so presumebly he holds back a lot. In real life, committing yourself to a move like this can be risky because if you get countered you'll feel it that much more, which is why the safer option would be a jab
>>287406230I don't like how Hatsumi always seems to be out of breath.
>>287405795"WE" HAVE FINALLY "ARRIVED"
>>287405795FINALLY
>>287405884Why?
>>287405352fuck that's painful
>>287405398They've been cool since Gaolang lost to Agito, slowpoke.
>>287406383He's a big guyNOT
>>287405444>so it's be pretty pathetic if I didn't win, wouldn't it?Cool it with the self-hexing...
>>287405495>>287405508Poor Hatsumi got fed to Agito as a jobber. Did they have to embarrass the character like that?
>>287405824>"Fa Jin isn't magic"Save those words
>make the most charimastic fighter in the tournament have a humillating defeatthis hurt
>>287405401Senbros... Don't look....>>287405398It's obvious his "fuck you!" speech meant "Get it back together brother!"
>>287405824It's physically impossible to throw a strong punch from point blank, surely
>>287405702A blow so hard you can see it from the back
>>287406902Not only that but with an arm that's being held down by the elbow with force generated from a standing position, it's bullshit.
>>287405781Hatsumi getting the jobber treatment stings.
>>287405808>Nogi falling on his kneesIt's over.
>>287405824>Hatsumi Sen is unmistakably an incredible masterStop it Omori, he's already dead
>>287405849>gets bloodied by Okubo in R1>gets knocked around by Gaolang in R2>walks away from Hatsumi without a scratch in R3>Hatsumi actually gave him MORE energy Damn
>>287407200>THERE'S NO LIMIT TO THE HEX
>>287405531>>287405546Spoilered for courtesy, but not at all relevant to the story so feel free to read this if you want: Agito's "Martial Arts" is his version of the Fourth's "Fang Style," down to incorporating the one-inch punch. Rather than "all techniques at once," it's "one's own style assembled from among all techniques." They've probably sparred a lot. (Mind you, this is probably all retroactive and Sandro hadn't thought of the Fourth Fang's style at the time.)
>>287405781Always loved this fight despite my favorite losing>>287405795>Well done, "We" have reached "that level" of "schizophrenia"
>>287406256He should've quit smoking then
>>287405808>Nogi completely shocked at the outcomeIs every CEO in the Kengan Association just a completely shit judge of strength, or what? All of the top tier fighters that were brought in specifically to counter Agito have pretty much gotten a one-sided shit-stomp without doing any real damage to him, to say nothing of all the other jobbers that would have never even stood a chance against him. Waka's already lost to him once, he's injured, has the ankle debuff, and already gave away his anti-Agito trump card, so he's already as good as fucked if he fights him.
>>287405808Look at Nogi man, he can't even say it was a "good game" despite the loss. Hatsumi ate shit so thoroughly and couldn't even allude to turning it aroundHe fucking lost and now it's all up to an unknown who's accumulated dozens of different health problems over the course of just the Raian match alone
>>287407550And Wakatsuki...
>>287407594Fuck, Nogi is so done for
>>287405808As much as I hate my boy Hatsumi jobbing at least it was from my other boy Agito and also seeing Nogi get the smug drained out of him was worth it
>>287405880Actually we see exactly what happened here
>>287405834nah fuck Hatsumi Sen. Potential man meme but actually.Agito beat a world class UFC fighter and a world class Boxer/Muai Thai fighter to get there. Sen beat an actor and a 51 year old doctor with shoulder issues
>>287405560Sick final panel
>>287407691And Wakatsuki...
>>287407758Oh yeah sorry I forgot. So he also beat a 30 year old guy with no martial arts experience weighing 190kg.
Did Sen deserve to be humiliated this badly?
>>287407548Waka has gotten a lot stronger than before, he has a very reasonable shot. The only issue is that he's more injured than Agito right now.Hatsumi is fang material, even though he got fucking destroyed here, it would have been closer if he fought R2 Agito.Gaolang could have won.As for a lot of other jobbers, well, I bet they probably hoped for the best. Maybe Agito gets injured. Maybe they get a nice lineup. Maybe they just need to win a few rounds to secure good standing in the association.
>>287405458>>287405467Could Shibukawa Gouki's Akido have taken on the Fang?
>>287405336These don't look like vital points to me.>>287405346>>287405352Honestly, I'm not really a fan of these impact panels. You can't see shit, and in the end it feels like time skipped a few seconds and the fighers end up in some new state. >>287405771Wow, he got absolutely bodied in this fight. The way the story set him up as a Fang-tier fighter I was expecting a close battle.>>287405808Nogi was really aura farming all along up until this point, only to bet it all on Hasumi and a half-dead Ohma. Not a good look.I already got spoiled ages ago on who will win the tournament, so I'm actually pretty confused how Nogi is going to become chairman.>>287405849Damage taken: ZERO
>>287407858No. he would have had his organs explode from a low kick after throwing him once. Hes too old and too slow.
What could Sen have done differently other than reroll his genetics to be 2m05 tall and 130 kg heavy?
>>287407812>As for a lot of other jobbers, well, I bet they probably hoped for the best. Maybe Agito gets injured. Maybe they get a nice lineup. Maybe they just need to win a few rounds to secure good standing in the association.Chiba actually thought he'd have a shot against Agito
>>287407884>Nogi was really aura farming all along up until this point, only to bet it all on Hasumi and a half-dead Ohma. Not a good look.Furumi is in Nogi's faction so Waka is an option too
>>287407548Hatsumi beating Agito was more likely than you'd think.Prior to this, Agito fought by trying to outdo fighters at their own style. Hatsumi and Nogi both assumed that Agito would try to fight using Aikido, then Hatsumi could blow up Agito because Hatsumi would be far superior in that regard. Hatsumi has two trump cards that he's pretty sure would defeat Agito and he just has to land one of them, and if Agito used Aikido then he would have landed one.What actually happened was Agito dropping the bullshit and fighting completely seriously with the intent to win, not just show off. He was not using the Aikido techniques Hatsumi was ready for. What's worse is Agito just happened to perfect the technique which hard counters one of Hatsumi's trump cards.Just terrible timing. If they met in round 2 Hatsumi could have taken it.
>>287405756Did he what? I don’t get it. He broke Hatsumi’s guard with the same middle kick implies that he didn’t take the fight seriously from the beginning ?
>>287407900It would be funny to have someone ask him right now if he thinks he's stronger than the Fang. Because if he watched all the matches he should have gotten stronger, right?
>>287407898Then he would be "too strong to win" ala Meguro Masaki>>287407900>>287408020Wasn't this just posturing to scare Hatsumi. I mean he only had limited time to even prepare for the KAT.
Now that the dust has settledCould Hatsumi have defeated Gaolong?
>>287408079I think it's close and depends on what the author would want to highlight with the fight more than """powerlevels""".
>>287405333Any new readers still here?Did you predict the top 4?>ohma>waka>beard>fang
>>287405333Are "we" late?
>>287407812>Waka has gotten a lot stronger than before, he has a very reasonable shot. The only issue is that he's more injured than Agito right now.Wasn't his entire strategy to one-shot Agito with a move he's never seen before (basically, to counter his evolution hax)? He gave away Blast Core already, so unless he has some other ace up his sleeve his chances aren't looking good.
>>287405444HIS TIMINGDID HE GET IT RIGHT?!
>>287408008 This is even more true when you consider Agito lost to Jurota.
>>287407162Nogi actually planned all this. You'll see.
>>287408115Yeah he would have liked to keep it in his pocket but after facing Julius (another decent contender to beat Agito) it wasn't possibleBut it's still in his arsenal and can mess up Agito who will need to be wary. And I guess the experience in grappling can't be too bad either.
>>287406902>>287407030Its like fiction or something.
>>287405781KWAB
>>287408107There is nothing to predict when you fuckers kept spoiling as early as the first round.
Hatsumi vs Raian?
>>287408153And being wary of a technique in itself can be advantageous. So Wakatsuki really did still have a shot against Agito.
>>287407898He should have not taken the fight seriously, unironically Sen having a huge boner to fight Fag made his power level drop to the Mariana Trench where it remains to this day
>>287408248Hatsumi stomps>why?I fucking hate Raian
>>287408289To be fair Raian is also stupid enough to fuck around and find out
>>287408248Hatsumi beats a lot of fighters if he's allowed to be his carefree self.
>>287408079In r1 Hatsumi would probably lose. In r2 he would've attained peak condition for far less risk (But more damage). R3 would be a definite Gaolang loss but we don't have a r3 Gao to base off of.
>>287408281 but what about the prog rock of fighting?
>>287408248KAT Raian gets clowned onOmega Raian, who fucking knows where that asshole is on the scale anymore
>>287407805Sen's a flake who thinks just because he did some warm-ups before a match means it'll make up for all the other times he chose to laze around insteadI know it's a symptom of his depression but it's gotta be somewhat annoying if one were a Fighter knowing their opponent thinks they have it in the bag just cuz their 2 minute warm up made them sweat a little
>>287408360That's honestly the thing that bothers me most about Hatsumi. The guy doesn't know what hard work actually is.
>>287407812>Hatsumi is fang material, even though he got fucking destroyed here, it would have been closer if he fought R2 Agito.>>287408008>Just terrible timing. If they met in round 2 Hatsumi could have taken it.Gaolang was honestly the worst possible fighter to get fed to Agito in R2, his loss really fucked over everybody else's anti-Agito strategy. Good enough at boxing that Agito couldn't beat him at his own game, but his pillow fists/not possessing any strong OHKO moves gave Agito time to adapt and stop trying to beat fighters at their own game anymore.
>>287408382
>>287407812>The only issue is that he's more injured than Agito right now.unlucky bastard got 2 free rounds, but the julius fight still fucked him
>>287408079No. Gaolong only lost because he broke his hand against Agito's elbow, which essentially happened due to random chance. Before that, the fight was extremely close and in fact in Gaolong's favor.
>>287408460>freeMuteba wasn't an easy round either
>>287408429 >stop trying to beat fighters at their own game anymoreGao fumbling is part of it but the other half is Omori beating it into Agito that having every single possible martial arts move at your disposal at all times is actually a pretty bad strategy
>>287407884>These don't look like vital points to me.In-between the eyes, the philtrum, and just above the chin would all hurt like hell do be struck in by some crazy anime mans exploding knuckle technique.
>>287408612Of course it would be extremely painful (for him), but vital points are generally things like the eyes, the groin, and so on.
>>287408591We can't really say Gaolang fumbled, he really got unlucky.
>>287408612>>287408634Found this when Google imaging head vital points. Dunno how true this is , if it's just martial arts mambo jumbo.
>>287408748Doh forgot the image
>>287405336This looks so painful, is Agito okay?
>>287406902Theres footage of bruce lee doing it.. its a technique, not anything to do with strength per se.
>>287405333Is she sex?
>>287408854I swear to God please leave I don't want you to be here.
>>287408841He never did it in an actual bout though. He takes his time positioning and I don't think that would fly in a real match
>>287408014He worked exclusively to counter his opponent instead of trying to ‘prove he was better’ than them at what they do. That was my understanding anyway. Fight with gaolang and the MMA guy was all about that
>>287408761One of the major ways people die in a fight is trauma to the back of the head. Its the weakest part of the skull by far, next to the temples in terms of weakness. The chart is only telling a part of the story. The jaw is much stronger than the temple
>>287408921I think you’re probably right. Youd have to master it for it to even be feasible but id say a guy with natural talent doing it for years might have a chance but honestly theres better techniques out there that don’t require so much gimmicky conditions
>>287408922I would say his formless shit and adaptation are still relevant, it's just that he learned to discard that and focus on just being a murder machine that stat checks the opponent.
>>287405352this was so bullshit it shocked the stubble right out of sen
>>287405781lamest jobber in the whole series, hatsumi's a total fraud
>>287405380the stylization on that agito panel is really sick, kengan is at its best when the inking style is thick and the proportions get pushed into being more cartoonish
>>287409122At least he fucked, which is more than can be said for more than half the roster
>>287405560>mfw they tell me to not wear my skin tight latex bodysuit 24/7
>>287409155>Kazzy: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT THAT CAT WENT LIMP JUST THE RIGHT TIMING HES AT THE POINT OF DIVERGENCE
>>287409155>The cat unleashes a triumphant roar of victory
>>287407900In an acting competition, Agito would be FUCKED against Chiba.
>>287409300But could Seki take him
>>287408854>>287408863I don't know who this guy is, but SCP stuff is cool.
>>287409155
>>287406348Not that anon, but a lot of people disliked Hatsumi for feeling like a college student who slacked off all semester and only crammed right before the final exam
>>287409521they hate him because they secretly wish to be him
>>287409155>thank you, now "we" are ready
Hatsumibros...
>>287405422It is an interesting trait that they gave Hatsumi, that he has some type of chronic depression that he's dealt with his entire life.
>>287405434>>287405444I wish we knew why Sen had it out for Agito. I don't think we're ever told why he really had this one-sided rivalry with him.
>>287409759It's rare to see that particular trait. Hatsumi reminds me of Jack Burden from All The King's Men with how his depression makes him float through life.
>>287405495>>287405508I guess some points go to Hatsumi to make Agito evolve even at this point, but unlike with Gaolang or Okubo, we don't get the same sense of him pressuring Agito to his limit to drive it. Okubo outskilled Agito at his own MMA game before being surpassed. Gaolang never let Agito edge him out in blows so Agito had to swap to wrestling to win. Hatsumi ostensibly outthought Agito and was going to win here with the head slam, but because of how hard Agito was dominating before this we don't get the sense that Agito was literally at his limit in the same way he was in the other fights. Instead this just seems like Agito either outplanned him or it just didn't matter because he'd already had a counter to akido takedowns like that. The invention process isn't conveyed in the same way. It was an instant reversal.
>>287405730Thats bullshit, Hatsumi got his upper arm in a lock, he couldnt pull a punch even if its just one inch
>>287405352He dun fucked up.
>>287406239>Why did a kick catch him unaware again?Agito's foresight let him know what position Hatsumi was going to be in, so that he could throw the perfect blow to take him down.
>>287405508So thankful.
>>287406902You're basically just using your legs for it.
>>287405482>>287405702People give Sen shit for getting his shit kicked in this fight, but honestly he did a good job tanking these two hits. Catching people unaware with heavy blows like these is usually enough to instantly win a fight after the first.
>>287409818I always interpreted as Sen seeing Agito as the man he could have become if he tried harder, became fang and all.
>>287407691>51 year old doctor with shoulder issues...who could explode the head of pretty much anyone in the tournament. Including Agito.
>>287407789>no martial arts experienceSpeedreader...
>>287407898fought r2 agito instead
>>287405795heheheh
>>287405808jumpscared me
>tfw moved from jjk to kengan
>>287406179This dub is basically a 'find the Matt Mercer putting on a slightly different voice' hunt.
>>287408107I thought Kiryu would beat beardy.
>>287410463
>>287408461his broken hand didn't matter in the slightest, he was always going to lose whether it broken or not
>>287409892Those two only pressured Agito because he was messing around and using their style. Okubo against this version of Agito would last 10 pages tops. >>287409818Sen's a tryhard when he gets in gear. Most of the other fighters wouldn't do their research on Bando beforehand, as an example.
>>287408248Hatsumi, of course. Raian's tardrage makes him fodder for Hatsumi's mindgames.
>>287410909Okubo's style wasn't weird enough to throw Agito off his game like trying to play Akido master with Sen would have. It was straight MMA vs MMA and Okubo was the most skilled master until Agito evolved. But an Agito that didn't evolve and instead tried to fight stubbornly, would still get pushed hard because Okubo's style switching is always going to be tricky for someone that can't adapt on the fly. That is what is meant by "Agito got stronger and weaker at the same time". He's stronger in the sense that you can't bait him into playing mindgames, weaker in the sense that he can't adapt the same if he's outskilled like this.
>>287405422Oh so he's not lazy he's just depressed.
>>287405745>I guess his garbage writing tendencies is always there, lurking beneath the surfaceShut the fuck up
On my fifth reread and this fight still gives me secondhand cringe from how pathetically Hatsumi jobsCan't believe there are people still arguing that he belongs with the top tiers
>>287405401>One sidedWasnt Hatsumi a like couple of locks away from winning.
>>287407812>Hatsumi is fang material, even though he got fucking destroyed here, it would have been closer if he fought R2 Agito.If he fought R2 Agito he'd have probably won because he'd have been able to mindgame Agito since Agito would still be fucking around. But then that's the story of most of the guys Agito fights in this tournament where if they'd shown up a round earlier he wouldn't have had what he needed to win.
>>287411645He does.
>>287405352FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU
>>287405781I feel so bad for Sen, he didnt even got a good hit in. People swear Rain is Sandro poster boy but I think its Agito.
>>287405482FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>>287405781Exit forever. I feel so sad.
>>287405795Thou shall know. We have arrived
>>287405824That doesnt make any sense. Force is movement multiplied mass, how less movement is gonna increase force.
>>287405833Aw hell nah, Agito got the janky ass hitbox
>>287409155Is that the niko style?
>>287411866It's the neko style.
>>287410463Gege has a brain, he just acts retarded. Sandro has nothing.
>>287405730Honestly everyone should learn this techniqueI bet even a shitter like himuro could land a hit on wakatsuki if he learned it
>>287411750>>287411792Sen...
>>287411880Everyone should learn the Niko style
>>287411895Not worth it, graduated from niko school with perfect grades in AP Redirection, AP Water, AP fire, and AP adamantine only to find out I was worth shit because I wasn't able to take any of the FIFTEEN secret technique tests
>>287411875To be fair, I see lots of anons who hate Jujutsu Kaisen, but I really love it.
>>287411750>>287411792>>287411799Sen yumejoshi...
>>287411997Todo is so cool
>>287411997We dont have JJK, we just call on Gege bullshit, it wouldnt hit limit bump several times if we hated it.
>>287411983>perfect grades in AP RedirectionSo that means you know "Change of Scenery". That is a really cool technique dude!
>>287405352I Thought they said indestructible doesn't work here last chapter
>>287405352>Nogis face
>>287412088It doesn't, Agito just somehow caught Sen's hand and mangled just one finger.
>>287405401Sen got lucky in seeding. Well, I guess Nogi had the acumen to place him in a good seed path. Still though, there were many other placements that he'd have been slaughtered in.
>>287412097With a mouth that big, he could rival Katia Managan's pineapple trick
>>287407548>>287407812If Wakatsuki wanted to defeat Agito, why didn't they just match into him in round 1?Given that Blast Core was still a secret, there was a pretty good chance that Wakatsuki lands a hit, and it probably packs enough power to oneshot Agito.
>>287405482The counter that took us on the wildest ride Agito could ever give us for the rest of the series.
>>287405531Two chapters?
>>287405574>>287405593Ah, so it's thrusting counter damage from Dark Souls.
>>287405667Surely at best Sen has a 10% chance of winning that's highly dependent on Agito fucking up. I don't even think Agito had to use his special attack again. Could've just played with Sen but I understand Agito has a mission here.
>>287410285Sen took a very bad gamble by continuing to hold on and ultimately he had no choice but to take the gamble because letting go of Agito means just being defeated by a rush down. Basically sen lost once stardrop was countered.
>>287405808Well that was anticlimatic.
>>287405715Agito should not use it again. What if Kuroki see's and is able to plot against it?
>>287406239Probably conditioned by the insane punch he was hit with twice
>>287412292That's like saying Kuroki shouldn't use the devil lance. If it's needed it should be used.
>>287407812Hatsumi is not fang material. Maybe if the fang was one of the other retard fangs. Agito is beyond R1 Agito.
>>287408360>>287408382His attitude says lazy cunt but his body says he's still grinding away for at least 4 hours a day.
>>287410981I feel like in kengan, the mindgames last for 5 minutes and then you get fucked up by surprise.
>>287412203When was wakatsukis CEO allowed to do the placement? He might've only been able to go into bracket one
>>287410879It does matter. Even the sword whip guardian knew Gao cant do anything with a broken hand.
>>287411845FA JIN
>>287412309Did Kuroki even use the devil lance in round 1 and round 3?
>>287408289>>287408315>>287408344>>287410981Can Hatsumi really tank Raian's hits? Can he even figure out removal's weakness?Also Hatsumi vs Julius?
>>287405833Yeah Ohma can't beat this guy>>287412309Devils lance is Kurokis bread and butter. Agito just used one of his "ults" so to speak
>>287410879Pretty sure the story implies that Agito won by a razor thin margin there
>>287412174>there were many other placements that he'd have been slaughtered in.Such as?
>>287411683Sen already lost once to "fucking around" AgitoIn the absolute best case it ends up like an inversion of the Gaolang fight where Agito has to dip into strikes because he can't beat Sen at throooooooooows
>>287412344Yeah, and the pages where he says he's going to be lazy feels like putting on airs.>I'm just going to go home to my families Dojo and NOT train in our style of Akido>Then I'll seclude myself in the mountains and NOT train a secret technique that I can use to defeat the fang named StardropBeing a lazy, carefree bum clearly works for him on coasting pre-KAT but he tried from the moment his employer needed him to (and particularly, he needed to, to prove himself).>>287412464>Sen already lost once to "fucking around" AgitoSorry but are you confusing Sen with Waka?
Hatsumi is literally me. I can't stand other people seeing how much effort I out into things
>>287412365Yeah in r1, not r3 cause it probably would've killed Rei.>>287412385The dragon shot is categorically just another move >>287405833 it's not an ult nor a bread and butter. Just something he can utilize if need be. Yes I know Omega made it into a win button against Lu Tian but ignore that.
>>287412431Raian would rape him, Rei would rap him, Gaolang would rape him, Akoya would rape him in his non warmed up form, Julius would rape him, Muteba would rape him. Setsuna would rape him.
>>287412365Yes, he sticks his fingers through Rihito's forearm and shoulder. >>287412352Because if the guy known for absurd feats of evolution suddenly pulls a horrific new technique out in R1, you want at least one round's worth of space to try and think of a countermeasure rather than being the guinea pig. Also what >>287412352 said.>>287412383If he managed to get perfect dodges against Bando and Agito (for a while), there is no fucking way Raian lands a hit.
>>287412352>>287412203Someone made this in the thread when the order was decided (I don't remember what the color marks mean). Okubo's CEO had a high pick and was confident enough to put him against the Fang before Waka's CEO would've had the chance.
>>287412636>dodges against Bandodo you think Raian can tank Bando's whip? It would be hilarious to see his head exlode amd the entire kure clan watching.
>>287412610Nta but>redirection fodder who plays around, one hit wonder with predictable attacks, pillowfisted boxer who was getting caught by KANEDA, prime redirection fodder, guy who underestimated Judo grabs and got thrown round start because of itThey have a chance, yes, but this isn't even close to an abject Hatsumi loss against any of these guys R1. Hatsumi also would've been able to to do his due research on them (barring Setsuna). Hell not even barring Setsuna because he knew of the fucking Niko style before even meeting Ohma. Which he also played around with early Advance Ohma as well. And dodged Bando's swings as they were coming down.>>287412745I don't think anyone would be able to tank a headshot from Bando except for maybe Saw.
>>287412610>RaianRetard strenght, Sen hard counters.>ReiSen has far better reflexes, although he might still get taken down depending on if he has his love hax buff.>GaolangWould be a very interesting match, but I do agree Gaolang would more than likely not take any of Sens baits.>AkoyaHis powerlevel is a bit extreme, personally I think he should be able to rape any of the fighters>MutebaI think Hatsumi rapes him actually, Muteba would have a difficult time landing anything.>Juliuslol, lmao>SetsunaGets floated on
>>287412685I think round 2 Agito is the safest so you know what you are getting into.
>>287412685The draft order is such a stupid thing, getting a 1 is not good. You want a middle of the pack number so you can both avoid Fang and also have good information of matchups.
>>287412567Baffling that there are people who refuse to acknowledge that round 1 is the peak of Daro's artistic talent, round 2 was also great but it marked the emergence of the swoosh arms and many other bad habits Daro stuck with moving forward.Just look how clean the linework on this page is and then compare it to how Daro just straight up started using 3d models eventually because he got so lazy.
>>287412836>Would be a very interesting match, but I do agree Gaolang would more than likely not take any of Sens baits. Gaolang is weak to the power of Purgatory Rules
>>287412954>>287383374I think that Sen face at the top is one of the last Sandro pages that feel very pen centered. That and that page on the finals, you know the one.
>>287405560Daro can be so good when he gives a shit.
>>287411997its fitting for jjk to be what popularized the "potential man" meme considering the manga itself is so appealing due to being a "potential manga", it hits so many beats perfectly and has genuinely great fights but it always comes short in some form or another, generally due to the neurosis of the own author which makes him prioritize the most retarded stuff instead of the core narrative, but you can very easily immerse yourself into the world n imagine how it could've gone differently
>>287412954i think that you can very much see improvement in general posing, anatomy, proportions, etc in later rounds but on average the r2 and r3 panels are much weaker simply because of his overuse of digital effects and plain half-assing everything that isn't the big important panels, when he has to he clearly shows how he improved, it's just he coasts whenever possible and it leads to a very uneven result (ie: compare the muteba vs waka fight and the very deformed limbs and anatomy in it with some of the expression shots in this one, its like he was barely trying before agito showed up)
Question for other new readers: are you actually going to read Omega once Asura is finished?Because I sure as hell won't.
>>287413352Cmoooon, read it~~
>>287413060>Daro can be so good when he gives a shit.It has been a long, long, long time since this was ever the case, sadly
>>287413352
I waited the entire storytime for the upcoming semis god damn. Just waiting for that one HOWEVER. Absolute peak of kengan
>>287413412Mr Poop (ballbuster420) asks a valid question.
>>287405352Earthworm Jim ass finger
>>287413412Fucking grim, maybe he should just fucking stop being a mangaka if he hates it that much.
>>287413352The sad part is, Omega is actually pretty promising for a while. Even when it starts having its exceptionally retarded moments, it's still "okay". Past a certain point, though, it becomes so fucking low effort and phoned in, it's genuinely sad. It's like reading an entirely different manga. Rereading Ashura with you guys has honestly been such a breath of fresh air.
>>287405390Dat ass
>>287411673Yes but as soon as one thing goes wrong his entire confidence shatters
>>287406455It's never actually been resolved on screen, we just saw Saw get his shit together.
>>287407858Shibukawa's bullshit is on another level so I'd say yes
>>287405880He punched him, it's pretty obvious anon
>>287413851>he should just abandon easy income Come on now
>>287405730One punch man
>>287405795He is risen! I mean arrived!
>>287405808:)
>>287408841>its a technique, not anything to do with strength per se
>>287405833Cool graphic
>>2874138561-50 omega is awesome50-end of kvp arc is meh but has its momentsEnd of kvp-current is just terrible, without a doubt the worst manga i have ever followed weakly, just straight up trash
>>287405849Thanks op
>>287405880>No real explanation givenThat was the "jiujitsu finger hold" comment on the next page. Not much of an explanation but an explanation nonetheless.
>>287405808>nogi has so little faith in waka or ohma winning that he's already shitting his pantslol
>>287414038Would you put your faith in Tokita Cohma?
>>287407548Peak hatsumi wouldve destroyed round1/2 agito. Agito would get crushed in a aikido battle. Hell if he hadnt learned the dragon shot, even with the round 3 mentality, stardrop couldve finished him.
>>287414054yeah, in fairness, ohma's health issues reminds me of my grandpa's last few months on this earth, but waka is still a very promising contender, even in spite of his injuries. i'd argue he always had the better chance of taking out agito than sen ever did. just seems premature for nogi to get so blackpilled at this point
>>287413856Yes, I've heard that so many times by now. Which is why I won't read it. I'm just curious how other first time Kengan readers feel about this.
>>287405352Fuck this bullshit. Straight up King Crimson's "rewind and own you" gimmick.
>>287414138For a moment I forgot about Jojo and thought you were talking about the Fairly Odd Parents character.
>>287414022I'd even say that post-KVP is somewhat readable, up until a certain point. I can't even pinpoint exactly what that point is, though, because it's a slow decline into completely forgettable trash. The past few arcs have been so irredeemably boring.
>>287405484Waifuhater was right.
>>287414171Someone recently posted the comparison with Shokugeki no Souma where both had three pivotal points of jumping the shark
>>287414185two schizos don't make right
>>287414171Current kengan is just>literal who against ashura fan favourite>literal who is supposedly super fucking strong>turns out ashura fan favourite developed a new insane technique (its a nothing burger)>ashura guy beats fan favourite>drops some lame one liner and does some self reflection >"[Epithet of fan favourite] keeps walking their own path">Kazzy comments it with his mouth wide open like the yabadabadoo krillin meme>3 weeks later nobody remembers this fight ever happened>repeat for like 4 YEARS. This shitshow has gone for years, the plot is going fucking nowhere. 200 chapters of fucking nothing
>>287405745>I guess his garbage writing tendencies is always there, lurking beneath the surfaceOf course. Did you think he got kidnapped and replaced by an impersonator?
>>287405484Ashura had plenty of fuckable bitches. Alas, Omega discarded all of that.
>>287414274But what about Xia Ji
>>287414245>This shitshow has gone for years, the plot is going fucking nowhere. 200 chapters of fucking nothingWith my whole heart, I wish for this horrible manga to be put out of its misery. Please, Sandro, just finish it and move on to whatever the fuck it is you want to do, please.
>>287414171It's open for interpretation, personally I think the first turning point was you know who coming back where it's a slow drift to mediocrity and the second where it scales the wall to irredeemable was Mukaku
>>287414322Same lmfao i like to pretend asura and omega are completely unrelated and just have very similar characters. It hurts knowing this dogshit is the successor to the greatness we used to have.I still credit to pre covid editor for most of the success
>>287408360Muteba is way, way worse in this regard. Fighters spend decades learning techniques and fundamentals like footwork, that this faggot just pulls out of his ass.
>>287414317Yet another victim of wasted potential and lazy writing. I'll be amazed if we see him again before the end of Omega.
>>287405531I thought it said "Chud"
>>287414322>and move on to whatever the fuck it is you want to do, please.He already did that but he's not abandoning his paycheck
>>287414343>personally I think the first turning point was you know who coming back This was definitely the beginning of the end in Omega.>where it's a slow drift to mediocrity and the second where it scales the wall to irredeemable was MukakuThat sounds about right, Mukaku is the last time I remember anything coherent in this manga happening beyond the dogshit we suffer through now.
>>287412954Agreed 100%. I fucking despise the swoosh arms/legs. Especially when the placement of the body is always so fucking wrong.
>>287414171No. It became unreadable shit precisely at the "split decision" fight.>>287414237Fuck off.
>>287414514
>>287414407>he didn't see the Omega leakslolThat's not the real Sayaka
>>287414317Xia Ji is a 6'6 Adonis with superman syndrome that bitched Akoya in a 2v1. The amount of gay anons that consider him a "femboy" or "twink" or even "twunk" is insane. He would easily manhandle anyone ITT that would want to manhandle him. He's also so fucking adorable anyways, my favorite.
>>287414563
>>287406211kek
>>287405808The Floating Cloud? More like The Floating Couldn't
>>287405352>check 'e-
>>287415143>43
>>287406902You can throw about a slightly below jab strength punch. It's mainly a training exercise for specific parts of the punching motion.
>>287405833One thing that stands out to me is how clear and sensible a lot of the explanations are in this fight. It's very technically dense but every single thing makes sense.
>>287407691Bando is stronger than both Gaolang and Okubo.
>>287412358Neither of them knew his hand was broken and Gaolang still punched with it, it was irrelevant and was just some cope Sandro threw to the rabid retard SEA monkeys
>>287408461Irrelevant because Hatsumi is fighting a much, much stronger Agito. Hatsumi would have beaten R2 Agito who Gaolang lost to.
>>287415812>Hatsumi would have beaten R2 AgitoProbably would've lost too, just not gotten utterly humiliated like he did against R3 AgitoI'm pretty sure Gaolang is stronger than Hatsumi
>>287415844Hatsumi has much higher damage output and Agito wouldn't have a counter to Stardrop, and Hatsumi was prepared for an Agito who would try to be aggressive and beat him at his own style not one who would fight conservatively and tactically. Round 3 Hatsumi is stronger than Gaolang, he's faster, better defensively and has more decisive offense a lot of which can bypass Agito's indestructible and limp. Gaolang got shut down by the sword guy who is pretty comparable to Bando in tactics (and slower because his offense is actually visible whereas Bando's whip strike isn't). Whereas Hatsumi was able to evade Bando's attacks in round 2 before he'd even hit his peak speed.
>>287415906Gaolang would literally just rape Hatsumi with blows. Hatsumi is on his level physically unlike Agito.>m-muh AikidoKek!Omega makes it pretty clear too Gaolang beats Jurota who beat Agito, meanwhile Hatsumi is stuck having trouble against fucking Kaneda
>>287415948>Gaolang would literally just rape Hatsumi with blows. Hatsumi is on his level physically unlike Agito.Hatsumi is significantly, verifiably faster. Gaolang doing better against a far weaker Agito who was actively fucking around for half the fight is not proof he could take out Hatsumi before Hatsumi insta-breaks his arm or tosses him twenty feet into the air so he lands on his head. >m-muh OmegaWe're not *IN* Omega. Omega Gaolang obliterates Omega Hatsumi because Hatsumi has basically only improved by getting foresight, whereas as of the RCT Gaolang has Foresight and Foresight Killer which neutralises foresight and therefore Hatsumi's speed advantage entirely. But in the KAT Hatsumi is stronger. Foresight was extremely important for Gaolang's kit because it solved his massive defensive issues he has against the upper tiers, let alone Foresight Killer which is an insanely busted ability that would arguably put him above KAT Kuroki. But we're talking about Ashura not about when the series started improving people relative to how they did on popularity polls.
>>287405730This looks cool, but like Waka now everyone has seen Agito Ace in the hole.
>>287407548I wish we could have seen Julius fight. How would Agito evolve beyond 100 pounds of muscle.
>>287416200Yes, but also like Waka constantly worrying about it can lead them to overlook other dangerous attacks
>>287416253Target the head
>>287416520it took a 200kg roundhouse kick from Waka to affect Julius, Agito is large but he ain't Waka large
>>287416556His muscles can't protect his head. Keep kicking.
>>287405336I have been trying to make my fist like this and it's impossible, there is something wrong with my hand or with the drawing?
>>287416636i feel like this is a you problem i could do it quite easily
>>287416636I think it's your hand
>>287412175now that's a name I haven't heard in a whileis prequel still updating?
>>287405745Are you actually fucking retarded?
Ohma coming back is the the turning point, but retconning this moment into a meaningless flashback was the deal breaker in Omega.
>>287408216To be fair, I think most posters did avoid posting spoilers. It's just that you only need one faggot to ruin that collective effort.
>>287417138was about to say that but i'd rather not discuss this at all so we don't get another faggot
>>287412954I really liked the stylization that was still going on in R1.
>>287413352The exact panel when I mentally checked out forever was Kure Family Tradition: Copy
>>287417170Agreed.
>>287405795>We have "arrived"
So, if Hatsumi somehow managed to win, how would he perform against Kuroki in the next round?
>>287405824
>>287417347Eaten alive
>>287414171I'd even go so far as to say post-KVP has a pretty solid arc, it's sometime after that when it really goes downhill and then stops having good moments.
>>287417347Kuroki can read Sasuke who is much faster than Hatsumi. It's a stomp
>>287408676I don't even think it was that bad luck, the whole reason you have elbows at your side is to hurt the fists that punch you. While Agito might not have meant to catch Gaolang's punch on the point of his elbow quite like that the amount of special pleading from it feels a bit pathetic
>>287414274Daro not drawing nipples for these girls is unforgivable.
a bit late with that question, but you know how when you hit our elbow against furniture it's both painful and numbingly unpleasant in that unique way? Shouldn't Agito get a *very* severe case of that after tanking a pro boxer's punch with his elbow?
>>287417840Probably adrenalin overdosed at that point into the fight
>>287417840That's called "hitting your funny bone" but since Agito "doesn't have a funny bone in his body" he's immune.
>>287417840That only happens if you precisely hit your "funny bone" (it's actually a nerve) which is on the inner side of your elbow tip. Gaolang probably just didn't hit it.>>287417599But Hatsumi doesn't really rely on speed. He started this fight by walking at his opponent. And so far Kuroki hasn't met an opponent focused on grabs and holds. Kuroki is a defensive powerhouse against strikers, but I don't know if that translates to him being good against Sen. That being said, he's an experienced guy, so he probably knows how to tackle aikido.
>>287417840Yeah I've always wondered about that with fighters that use their elbowsI've hit mine so bad before that I almost blacked out
>>287417451I'd argue there's no definitive moment where things fall apart. Yeah there are the shark jumps but the manga is sill enjoyable in places even after all of them. It's a slow rot.Now if you'd ask me what killed Kengan I'd say the fact that Sandro wants to do a Baki like fighting SoL/Tournaments but he also wants to do globe trotting spy shit and instead of making a say Kengan:Alpha alongside Omega where he could do both he instead just smashed it all together like a suicide slurpee and then got tired
>>287413106>due to the neurosis of the own author which makes him prioritize the most retarded stuff instead of the core narrativeI actually like when he stops the story completely to talk about something else or another character
>>287414171the entire thing feels like anime filler, except it's the main plot... what a fall from grace. he needs to narrow the scope/cast down to like 10 fighters and take those fights seriously; not endless weekly one chapter plots of>jobber hits cause "he got the "timing" right but cooler character timed his "understanding" of the "timing" and "adjusted">wow... you are strong... but my strength was stronger!
you ever see those Darr Mann videos? that's Kengan Omega
>>287413352Hah I have re-read Ashura multple times yet never once have I read an omega chapter more than once..
>>287414022>>287414171The "good" Omega died completely with Mukaku
>>287413352Huh. Not a single first-time reader has replied to this. Am I the only one who even frequents these threads?
>>287416636It hurt my indicator finger a lot, but I got it.

>>287420438These threads have been weirdly awkward to follow because sometimes there are two at once and sometimes a thread will have a new chapter posted at the bottom and at one point there were four kengan threads (two storytimes, one omega discussion thread and one omega dump thread), which has made keeping out spoilers nearly impossible because people keep forgetting what thread they're on.I wouldn't be surprised if new readers have been put off by the resultant chaos.
>>287408761One of these "vital points" is the front of the top of the skull which is one of the hardest parts on the human body. This list is goobledegook.
>>287420728It's not that hard if you just check the posting time.
>>287416636I can but my finger would probably break if I struck something, or someone.
>>287420728You think? I just leave the tab open and check if the new chapter has been posted there the next day. If it isn't, I open the next thread. You would have to be really internet illiterate if you manage to stumble into a Kengan Omega thread while trying to follow this daily.
>>287421685Other way around, people get into Omega discussions on the storytime threads and forget that they're not supposed to be posting spoilers.
>>287416760Of course, at the same sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow rate as always.

>>287418897its charming some times, some other times its him loredumping about the new shadow style right after they kill sukuna instead of actually giving a chance for the characters to process what happened
Why do you talk about Omega if you hate it? Are you a fucking tsundere?
>>287414633>. The amount of gay anons that consider him a "femboy" or "twink" or even "twunk" is insaneblame it on his slutty ass fashion choices

>>287422099I filter the words 'daily' and 'storytime' to the top.
Why fighting manga is so gay?
>>287423882Sex and violence are in the same part of your brain
>>287417840>you know how when you hit our elbow against furniture it's both painful and numbingly unpleasant in that unique wayLearn to elbow strike.
>>287424329I just get violence in my life...
>>287412871The number didn't determine where in the bracket you were, it determine when you get to pick your position. Kazzy was first so he got first pickings and chose the fourth match.
>>287424531Yeah but like that anon said if you're first and pick a spot (any) then people can just avoid you or target you. If you were to pick midway you'd have lots of choice to either target or dodge people but if you're first all you can dodge is Agito himself
>>287424336Are you saying we should elbow our furnitures before they can hit us? Like pre-initiative against our house?
>>287424672Hmm yeah I guess being targeted could be a problem
>>287425003basically empty roster means you're forced into a random spot, meaning no choice (beyond the timing of your fight but that isn't too relevant)But you also get to decide when you meet the fang (R1, 2, 3...) which is a pretty solid W
>>287412174Sen did not get lucky. Anyone put against Bando is unlucky. Sen was just smart enough to do prep research.
>>287425186Sen got unlucky to fight one of the most dangerous tournament fighters but got lucky to have the exact perfect style to counter him. Honestly I think Bando takes 95% of the cast
>>287412685Waka's CEO should have chosen either the Gaolang or Kaneda spot.

>>287413352>>287420438Eh I'm technically a first time reader (skipped ahead, shit was too good) and I went and read Omega right after because I needed more Kengan. Fifteenth worst mistake of my life
>>287427161You didn't wait for us? I feel "betrayed"... Omega is only good when we are there
>>287427161Did you finish Omega?
>>287413352I'm still debating whether I should or not. I decided to follow these threads to understand all of the references I kept on seeing around /a/ (I am enjoying the manga though) so I want to at least understand why anons reply as they do whenever a character sticks out their tongue, but I hear it's shit or at least becomes shit later on.
>>287405458>>287405467>>287405482So what was Stardrop supposed to be? A bearhug that just wrestles the opponent to the ground?
>>287425559On one hand Waka has zero mental resistance ahainst Kaneda's bamboozling, on the other he can KO him with a flick of his fingersOverall I'd say Waka caves kaneda's head in by a razor-thin margin
>>287427318What if Kaneda makes Waka hit himself somehow? Or what if he makes Waka break his own body by using the Blast Core wrongly?
>>287427246Finish? I wish. I'm stuck on the ride now, I just want to see how that dumpster fire ends>>287427189The posting schedule was too slow, especially with the whole final part of the match cliffhanger OP does. I had to mainline that shit directly into my eyeballs
>>287427251It starts well at least, consistently good up to chapter 50. The way I see it, there are 3 key events>chapter 50 which does something that is quite controversial writing wise>chapter 140 which kills any semblance of stakes>chapter 250 or so after which it seems the author is legitimately running his script through a random generatorIt's still pretty fucking funny but more in a meta sense once you pick up all the mannerisms and hexes. It's a comedy.
>>287427369You sound addicted...
>>287427413What the fuck? I thought it was like 100 chapters or so. How long is it right now? When people said "It's good until chapter 50" I thought that would be something like half its runtime.
>>287427458I can drop it anytime!
>>287427458I was, Asura got my blood pumping in a way only a handful of media has managed to. I haven't binged like this in a long time, it's a genuinely fantastic manga even with some of it's flaws
>>287427516>How long is it right now?Around 375 chapters and counting. We legit might hit 500+ at the rate Sandro and Daro are milking this shit
>>287422809There's nothing particularly slutty about his clothes. It's pretty much what Alan Wu wears but with detached sleeves instead of bandage wraps on the forearms. And I don't see anons go "My beautiful wife Alan Wu!" Wouldn't it also have to be intentionally worn to be "slutty?" It's not like he's wearing it to be attractive to those anons.
>>287413352First time even though I read ahead because I was too impatient. Honestly I don't know, I've skipped around to read a couple of fights and they weren't terrible, but I've also seen the weeekly omega threads and how bad things get plot, art and fight-wise.On one hand I want to keep reading because I'm genuinely curious about what mindbroke so many anons (people keep mentioning something called Five fights at Ohma's and I like to know what it is) on the other I really liked Ashura and I don't want to see it ruined so I'd rather pretend it never got a sequel.
>>287427516It's LONGER than Asura. We're 350 chapters in. Most anons have accepted this is all a group indoctrination ritual. I pick up Omega words almost once a day when doing something else.>premonition>unfathomable>scaling/wall>awesome>too strongI can't say it's a bad read. It's a bad manga for longer than a good one, but people keep tuning in for a reason, it's addictive.
>>287427516375 chaptersNothing has happened for around 2/3rd of the manga's runtimeEven outside of the baggage of the insane drop in quality compared to Ashura, it's very exhausting to read
>>287427603Besides what I hear about the quality that's the other reason why I'm hesitating. I hesitate to read good manga that are that long, but this.......
>>287427695>>287427697Oh damn. Well I'm not touching that.
>>287427516>I thought it was like 100 chapters or soLooks like you got it all wrong!
>>287422809>>287427651>blame it on his slutty ass fashion choicesI think most people treat him as a twink because he radiates extreme Sub energy and is constantly getting into ryona situations and we all know Daro has a twink ryona fetish
>>287427251look, it's not goodbut I get very giddy when I read new chapters in /a/
>>287406902>>287411845It's not about why he can do it.It's because he could do it that he is here right now.
>>287427797IMO and this is purely IMO it's still kinda entertaining. It's fuck awful especially after the arc ch 140 is in squanders a whole bunch of shit to jerk off the worst character but things are so absolutely by the seat of your pants retarded that you can't help but see what stupid shit gets put to print. It reminded me a lot about post Riz Beastars but FAR less competent but no less retarded.
>>287427603>Around 375 chapters and counting>>287427697>375 chaptersWhat are you guys talking about? Last chapter was Chapter 350. Are you creating more in your heads?
>>287427695I've had cases where I started laughing uncontrollably after hearing the words "tragedy"
>>287427797It's an easy speedread at least
>>287427975>he doesn't know about the secret chapters
>>287427975My bad (still close though) it's just that there is so much filler bullshit you could legit take out 125 chapters and loose very little
>>287428013>he didn't noclip his way through the endless hallway
>>287427831Yeah, but he's so obviously heavily muscular in every scene (even ones where it shouldn't be showing through his baggy clothes) that it's a bit strange that the perception started. It's just utterly delusional to look at him and imagine a twink. IIRC it was the whole hype with Eddie that kicked it off. Since he's even bigger, taller, and abusive while being an anon insert. But God, Xia Ji is so cute...
>>287427804You're here with us forever.
>>287409378that guy is a really annoying namefag
>>287409378>SCP stuff is cool.How can anyone say this shit in 2026
>>287428273The problem I have with Sandro is that he tortures villains as if they fully deserve every inch while either not showing or barely showing why the villain is so "evil". He should start reading revenge stories to understand what makes the audience cheer for the pain and suffering of a character and when that pain and suffering should happen. As things stand, I feel disgust for his "heroes"
>>287428299There are like 30 chapters of Kengan Asura left, Anon. That's about 2 weeks worth of threads. After that I won't knowingly talk to you ever again.
>>287428729That's what they all say.But then the curiosity wins over.After all, those first 49 chapters of Omega are good.
>>287428770>those first 49 chapters of Omega are goodHow good?
>>287428902Best on-going yaoi manga in its time.
>>287428902It was a worthy sequel to Asura while also being able to differentiate itself from it.
>>287428582People say that 141 to 149 is the death of Omega but 151-159 is equally bad. Past Purgatory it's the moment Koga just stops being a protagonist. Because the best Sandro could come up with for his development is to have him set up a rematch against a homeless man nearly 4 years after his goons had beat him. On the same night that said homeless man gets forced under death to attack the KA. To then get jumped twice in 2v1 fights for his life. Only to be forced by Ohma to fight and get bitched by Koga. Left crying on the ground thinking how bad his life has been. It's utterly deranged, tantamount to character assassination.
>>287428273im not gay but
>>287428582Which is funny because he got it right with Raian in Asura, he's a BEYOND hateable faggot and deserves to eat a mountain of shit. Unfortunately Sandro seems to think Raian is cool so here we are
>>287429241All of this while working alongside those who nearly became terrorists, right on the left there.
>>287427122Sen has a fucking stand now?
>>287429241I actually disagree because we get the all time best fight in Omega just after this (Koga vs Ryuki) and it's entirely because Koga works as a protagonist, but this incident absolutely did huge damage to Koga going forward and I think the issue is that it's been set up so inorganically as opposed to just having him and Xia Ji fight on a train or a boat or some other place where Xia can't just run away.
>>287428902The first 49 chapters of Omega is Sandro at probably his best character writing ever. If Omega had kept up that level of quality it would have been flat out better than Ashura.
>>287429789So what you are saying is when Sandro is in "top form" he could even beat "us", but when he gets depressed not even his best moves can save him?
>>287429789>The first 49 chapters of Omega is Sandro at probably his best character writing ever.>If Omega had kept up that level of quality it would have been flat out better than Ashura.wtf?
>>287429789It's so weird too becuase I've never seen such a flat out switch in the quality of the writing, where you can pin point exactly where everything goes downhill. It's almost like it's a deliberate decision by Sandro and Daro to just stop trying after chapter 49.
>>287424725I think that anon meant that the part of the elbow you use in an elbow strike is not the same that's hit when you bump into your furniture, my dear nofight friend.
>>287429830If this is true, why has he been depressed for so long? What happened in Japan? In this his wife's fault??
>>287428273Closest I can get to those anons is being envious of his physique. Life should be pretty chill being a hulking muscular prettyboy with abnormal strength and an innate talent for martial arts. Though seeing what he goes through, maybe it's not a good idea.
>>287429685Koga vs Ryuki is dampened because the setup required Kazzy freaking out over something his eyes and reasoning should be able to discern as suicide by schizo. And Koga doing fuck all in the aftermath of it to leave his friend alone in a hallway with murderhobo groomer Kiryu. The best moment of Koga's run being beating sense into someone he failed is really poor even if it's a good fight.
>>287429685>the all time best fight in OmegaNah I disagree, that'd be Snakeman vs Sambo writer. Fuck Nikoshit.
>Nearly reached bump limit on a two chapter dumpUnfathomable...
>>287430693spoiler your shitIt's got much stronger choreography than "Liu beats up Nitoku then gets thrown" about 10 times in a row, even if I also really like that fight.>>287430661"Koga left Ryuki alone!" he left him alone for like 30 minutes during a tournament and Ryuki immediately bolted with the nearest lunatic do not put this on Koga.>>287429839what part of what I said is confusing?
>>287413352>>287427251>>287427681I strongly recommend you read Omega. It's shit, yes. But it's funny shit.Getting mindbroken with other anons is where the true experience is. It genuinely is one of the best ongoing Memery manga right now. You wouldn't want to miss that.
>>287432196Ah, Scyther. Still too "green" to be a real "strong" fighter.
>>287431909>for like 30 minutesyou can't be telling me the next 8 matches of Kengan vs Purgatory took 30 minutes. And Ryuki sat alone in the hallway until Kiryu strolled up on him IIRC. So yeah, it's Koga's fault for leaving Ryuki alone during the lowest point of his life to watch Agito vs Lu. Like literally the next chapter Koga and Kazzy are talking about fucking demon fists while Ryuki is nowhere to be seen. Any amount of this could've been maybe acceptable if Koga actually had to fight in the tournament but instead Koga looks like a retarded asshole prioritizing spectating KvP over his friend's crumbling mental health.
>>287427289A STAR (Fang) FALL (Skull first on ground.)
>>287430693>Snakeman vs Sambo writerThe fight was fun but the amount of "It's not over yet" got kind of ridiculous. It's like both had the special ability to come back to life with 1 hp after a flashback and Nitoku lost because he ran out of backstory before Liu
>>287427651>t's not like he's wearing it to be attractive to those anons.you don't know him like that
>>287428273this panel specifically really makes him look like he's got hips wider than his shoulders
>>287432645I'd like to say that I "know" him pretty "deeply" and I'll be "showing" that during the Omega storytime.
>>287432854hmph... it seems i've underestimated youi was not aware you had already "scaled the wall"
>>287430494Anon... Sandro has been dead for years.You thought it was Sandro using AI? No, they replaced him with an editor and an AI when he died of mangakaietus.
>>287431909>what part of what I said is confusing?Your compliment was so strong that I got surprised
>>287429663Ohma saw Niko besides him, so yea
>>287432854>509Insane collection!
>>287405849Thank you for posting.
