Who knows how many times I reread this, but I'm still excited. It's gonna be great.
>>287547133SEX WITH SAYAKA
>>287547247Daro was on a fucking roll these volumes.
>>287547247Now that's a fucking fight
>>287547397What a fucking sore loser. Shut up! You're not even in this!
DONE
>main characters about to fight in the semfinals of the tournament against a beast of a fighter that demolished his previous 3 opponents>gets his ass beat 90% of the fight>too bad for his opponent that in the last 10% our mc pulls up a move that manages to win the fightNOW WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFORE
>>287546969>>287546993Waka my HERO
>>287547397>Its no use Kuroki, you cannot defeat my mist-mist devil fruit>nor can you defeat my smoke-smoke fruit
>>287547133SWEATY SAYAK TITS
>>287546969Waka does seem to have a really low fight IQ, man does nothing but McDojo Shotokan karate and is carried by his ridiculous physique and mental
>>287547026>Kanoh = "completely unharmed">Kuroki = "completely unharmed"Kengan = "completely _______"
>>287547488>NOW WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFOREin basically every single fighting manga with a tournament. it's weird how so many people in the last thread were acting like they've never seen it happen before.
>>287547133I thought she was changing outfitsI mean SEX WIH SAYAKA
>>287547612Achkually Goku got through both his semi-finals without any much issueIt's the finals where he chokes a lot
>>287547073These go go go marks fit well with the jojoesque character design of the man on the right
>>287547582He figured it was a proper counter after only one hit, and that it was formless after only. He was only just a step behind and that's a good battle IQ feat against a literal magic technique that no one else has seen before.
>>287547081>>287547097Hold upOpponents enter from opposite sides of the arena, right?Why was katoh together with Kuroki here?Did he pick the wrong entrance by accident, realized his error when he stumbled into his opponent, decided to play it natural, drop a few words, slowly walk away until he's out of sight, then quickly ran over to the opposite entrance?
>>287546961>>287546969Wait we actually don't see the conclusion wtf. I get Ohma had basically won the fight with Demonsbane but what was the point of having him get back up.>>287547247Whatever, HYYYYYYYYYYYYPE
>>287547247Here we go...
>>287547048>>287547061Remember this, anons.
>>287547247Beard slowly morphing into his Yoji Shinkawa form
>>287548070i see it too
>>287547444lmao at the hatsumi face
>>287547488Don't you dare compare Bakino to kengan. Baki revealing the demon back and going full bloodthirst was unbelievably good. Meanwhile here we got 3 chapters of Nikker garbage.
>>287547582impressive, almost literally everything in this sentence is wrongWaka does what is clearly his universe's version of Kyokushin karate, Rokushin. Also what he does is "skill" not "fight IQ", and his fight IQ is pretty consistently impeccable, he beats Julius via tactics, outplans Muteba one of the smartest fighters in the series, and only screwed up against Ohma because he didn't understand that the counter wasn't a specific move but literal magic.
>>287548158Baki vs Retsu was dogshit and you don't have to defend it because it's the more socially profitable manga to wank
>>287548158It's no different, just a whole fight of "lol didn't hurt", Baki only gets the benefit of the doubt because the majority of the fights are vibes based anyway whereas in Kengan we have a better sense of their capabilities so bullshit stands out more.
>>287548162I think you both are right in a way. Waka is indeed supposed to be a first-class practitioner of Kyokushinkai, with decades of experience on top of his abnormal strength. The problem is that depicting him struggling against not only one but two "fighters" with no martial arts training completely destroyed any semblance of martial prowess he was supposed to have. So when in his last fight Cohma is able to "didnthurtlol" his attacks before instagibbing him with a single stupid "mirror force" spell, he ends up as the biggest fucking joke of the manga.
>>287547444Very first exchange and Kuroki got him worse than the Hatsumi did for the entire fight.
>>287547120I really love how much Kazzy dotes on Ohma. It's really sweet how, despite the short time they have together they're both getting the chance to be a dad/son that they've never really had before
>>287548212Shut the fuck up, what a faggy argument.>>287548237It is different. Baki has never been considered human, and the MT comes as the culmination of his whole ordeal of a life. If you wanted to nitpick you could argue the "Yuujiro bloodlust" personality he shows at the end has been retconned out of existence.
>>287547488>that demolished his previous 3 opponentsI know you're trying to draw parallels but Waka did not demolish Julius. He was forced to reveal his trump card in round two and ate his roid rage wall drag that ripped off half of his face. He barely made it through that fight.
>>287547097FINALLY THE BEST FUCKING FIGHT IN THE WHOLE KENGAN VERSE
>>287548350I think Agito vs Gaolang is better. "Evolution Agito" was much more entertaining than "kickboxing + prediction" Agito.
>>287547081So how was he making that "clack" sound earlier?
>>287547315>Fighters do not immediately charge each other as soon as the ref starts the fightThis is the author telling you these guys know what's up. I don't know what it is with this tournament and round start charging attacks but everyone else does it. Rei was the only guy fast enough to make it a viable strat.
>>287546932Agito looks like a school bully here
>>287547120"I'm going to save the (peach)energy drink for Ohma to enjoy later"
>>287547133SAYAKA WITH SEX
>>287548259Julius is massive and has stat advantages over Wakatsuki, Muteba doesn't have "no martial arts training" he's got a bunch of killing moves from kung fu and has fought on battlefields. Waka is never presented as an amazing guy skillwise, he's just a black belt in karate who happens to be super duper strong.
>>287548162You say that, but Julius just roidrages, and Muteba had never been in a fist fight before the tournament and both took Wakatsuki to the edge. What we see is that Wakatsuki is a mid-tier fighter regarding pure talent and that is boosted with his power to make him dangerous. If Wakatsuki didn't have his strength, I don't see him getting past the first or second round.
>>287548324Baki is human. The MT isn't the culmination of his whole ordeal of a life, it's three arcs in. He makes a giant leap in power the very next arc when he loses his virginity. >>287548374this is an Agito who's actually trying to win not someone who is fucking around for half the fight
>>287548487>Waka is never presented as an amazing guy skillwiseLol lmao even, it was just yesterday when he was
>>287546961You lost because of bullshit Waka, don't feel bad
I'm just saying, I'm sure Waka is a good black belt and all, but it really can't be understated how far being strong enough to punch mountains will get you.
>>287547081>>287547107Its funny that Kuroki is actually walking all the way across the arena here.
>>287548493>Julius just roidragesJulius is very smart with his use of muscles
>>287547061>hey can you put 5 billion yen on the line for me as a favor?Takakaze is a bro
>>287548493If Wakatsuki didn't have his strength he wouldn't even be in the tournament. But his fight IQ is pretty consistently impressive, he never puts a foot wrong based on the information he has except maybe slugging it out with Julius but that was because he was trying to conserve his blast core.He's at a stat disadvantage against Julius and explicitly wins via tactics even when his super move has an unexpected disadvantage, and against Muteba outplays one of the most intelligent fighters in the tournament who is also someone who still threatens him a lot because Muteba's killing moves bypass his durability.And against Ohma he plays every single step extremely carefully and only loses because Ohma has a move that he's never used before that is an insanely powerful hard counter to Waka specifically and Waka still nearly avoids it the second time.
>>287547857He was watching Ohma's match from there.
>>287547247IT'S TIME!
I like how in shonnen manga some of the best fights(or at least most memorable) are non MC fights. The only exceptions I can think are Dragon Ball and one piece. But that's because they make the other characters fights lame in comparison. One piece for exemple Luffy gets all the best coreography and pages while zorro is just a black space with slash lights
>>287548531Waka is not a master of karate in the same way that Gaolang is of boxing or Cosmo is at BJJ, he's just a very good black belt who also happens to have very strong physical gifts. His skill is important because it means he's not going to do stupid shit and walk into traps, he knows how to leverage his power properly and fight in ways that minimise his disadvantages.
>>287547315>both fighters immediately suffer a brain aneurysm and die
>>287548641Kenichi storytime surprised me because every single really good fight was a Kenichi fight (a few exceptions). Usually in manga the side character fights are better because they might actually lose, MCs never lose tournaments until at least the finals. The only tournament I can remember where an MC lost in the semis was the My Hero Academia sports day where Deku lost to Todoroki in the semifinals.
>>287548487>never presented as an amazing guy skillwise, he's just a black belt in karateLegit question: have you ever fought a kyokushin black belt? They are legitimately strong anon.>Julius has stat advantagesThey were shown and stated to be roughly equal in power, Julius only having the reach and big frame over Waka. Him struggling against a /fit/fag makes him look a McDojo idiot.>Muteba isA faggot. Fighting on battlefields has little to do with unarmed fighting, and his magical kungfu asspulls were tiring. If you take his writing at face value like "inventing" footwork on the fly, and inventing his own martial art to counter Seki, then he's the greatest martial arts prodigy on earth, far above Agito. My point is that having two newbies make him struggle that much didn't sell them as great fighters, it just made Waka look dumb and unskilled.
>>287547457Thanks op. Best fight of the series right here. Some others come close for me but this one tops them.
>>287548158Baki has ugly art, I'm not reading it.
>>287548641Zoro gets lame fights because Kubo doesn't know how to actually draw a fight between swords users that's not just clashing blades until someone pulls out a finisher technique. It's why his best fights are against non-sword users or Kaku in Enies Lobby who used his DF a bunch.
>>287548686Fine. Just don't post about it then, and everything'll be well.
>>287547133
>>287548728Not that other anon, I just felt like sharing my opinion on Baki.
I hope we get a new Chairman; Kengan Association really needs to change!
>>287548733You need to put in more effort man, these are just boring.
>>287548738Then you're just like I was in 2018. If anything starting from the first manga, which has fairly normal art, can ease you into it. It's a "frog in a boiler" situation, I was so enthralled by Itagaki's writing that I didn't notice how little by little the bodies became more uncanny.
>>287548642He's on first-name good terms with Japan's #1 karate black belt master teacher, and not just because they're neighbors or something but because he's literally been taught by him, so I have to assume his skill/talent is recognizable.
>>287548733
>>287548684I have sparred with a kyokushin black belt and they hit like motherfuckers, but the difference is that "just" a black belt wouldn't even get into the Kengan matches let alone this tournament. Think of it this way, Waka is someone who would be semi-pro or even a professional footballer, but to get into the Kengan matches on skill requires you to be a Messi or a Ronaldo tier footballer.>They were shown and stated to be roughly equal in power, Julius only having the reach and big frame over Waka. Him struggling against a /fit/fag makes him look a McDojo idiotTheir punching power is similar, Julius is far more durable (though Waka has a better chin) and is clearly stronger. >his magical kungfu asspulls were tiringDoesn't matter, they're incredibly dangerous. Heart jab is basically an insta-kill if he can land it. Muteba wasn't inventing his own martial art to counter Seki, he was using techniques he already knew. Muteba also seems to primarily fight as a mercenary unarmed.
>>287546993Aww, I love to see it.
>>287548806I mean we meet the #1 black belt in the whole organisation in Fist of the Seeker and he's a guy who simply destroys people with unga bunga hammerfists and flexes his wounds shut. Clearly the organisation is no stranger to people who are stronger than they are skilled.
>>287546993Now he just needs another 200 wins to fix that W/L ratio
>>287548825Isnt Okubo supposed to be the MMA guy
>>287547038The psycho with a lust for blood and death can understand why a fightist would want to keep fighting.
>>287548825Considering the KAT was full of guys like Gozo, Julius, Sawada, etc I think we can agree that being a kyokushin black belt is enough skill to at least not be considered lacking.>Their punching power is similar, Julius is far more durable (though Waka has a better chin) and is clearly strongerI think I remember them being described as having the same strength. Otherwise it'd mean Julius is so far beyond human in pure strength he would have wiped the entire KAT had Waka not taken part in it. Which is stupid /fit/headcanon.I just don't like how a mercenary suddenly is capable of countering Seki's wrestling, especially the ground grappling. Muteba seemed to get too many free gifts, and I meant the Agito comparison.
>>287546961>>287546969Hard to believe, huh? Wakatsuki had Superman Syndrome and everything.
>>287547006oh-my, oh-ma
>>287547247damn this looks rad
>>287547247daro taking the limiter off for this page
>>287548986Waka isn't unskilled by the standards of the big brutes, which is what makes him particularly dangerous because it heavily reduces the level of his clear weaknesses. But if he was a normal guy he would not be kengan match tier.They have the same striking power but Julius is overall stronger which is why he's able to ragdoll Waka. Julius wouldn't have wiped the entire KAT, there are plenty of guys who are really dangerous for him - Ohma with Demonsbane, Kuroki with Devil Lance, Bando's arm whips, Hatsumi's instasubmissions.
>>287547315>>287548650Turns out there was a gas leak in the arena and killed them before they even knew.
Karate?Weak shit
>>287547247wow
>>287548686you will one day and "get" it like I didugly charmgrotesque horseshoed into beauty
>>287547048>>287547061>>287547073Takakaze is the first CEO he hasn't tried to mind game.
>>287548531We all know Tell not Show is the proper way to express this to the audience.
>>287549104true
>>287547457Thank you OP!Posting the bonus stuff from the previous volume!
>>287549299
>>287549317And that's all!
>>287547444DEVIL LANCE'D!
>>287549299I'd show her my devil lance:)
>>287549299Lame. Daro put no thought at all into gender bent Kuroku design.
I see and I hear y'all.Have this instead.
>>287547295Romantic.
>>287549299Meh>>287549317I like that they mention him randomly carving a statue into a wall again
>>287549385It really isn't his best work.
>>287548986>Julius is so far beyond human in pure strength he would have wiped the entire KAT had Waka not taken part in itlol
>>287549299Should have been a cougar like Fem Hatsumi>>287549385He had a version like two hundred chapters ago, but yeah a lot of the fem designs are dogshit, even the "good" ones like fem Ohma and Setsuna. Weirdly enough Fem Hatsumi and Fem Cosmo are solid gold designs with a few silver ones like the original Fem Rihito and Fem Adam (Eve?)
>>287547932>what was the point of having him get back up.To make Ohma shit his pants. To show that Waka can get up out of sheer fucking will.It's all in service of Waka.
>>287546993So the final arc will undoubtedly be another KA tournament for chairman
>>287548814Whered u get this photo of me from
>>287547315I'll show her a contest of endurance soon.
>>287547048No playfulness?
I think we all can agree that the best genderbend was lu "coat" tian
>>287548733Based
>>287547247The beard reminds me of Jotaro's hat
>>287548417Frankly Agito should've led by charging ass first.Kuroki is weak to unexpected moves, and Agito has the sheer girth to make it work.
>>287547247I liked the other version of this page by the last group better. Anybody got it?
>>287548714I forgot that Kubo is the most successful mangaka in the world, and is also secretly hiding behind the names "Oda" and "Kishimoto"
>>287547061I wish I was Kuroki's old friend.
>>287547386>>287547375What's funny is this happens during an Agito match in Omega during a tournament called purgatory yet wasn't as well received.
>>287547397SHUT the FUCK UP hatsumi
>>287549889>honest, straightforward attitude>no ambition>all of his gains are from happenstance >wanders the world doing cool shit because he hates being in the office>reason for entering the tournament is antithetical to the reasoning behind the tournamentTakakaze is the opposite of Metsudo and likely his least favorite type of person. He hates even talking to Takakaze.
>>287548162Julius is a retard, muteba outwitted him but was halted by his neck muscles. Muteba knew Waka was blind somewhat but Waka didn't realize Muteba could see till late in the game. As for Demonsbane, Waka says himself he got outplayed.
>>287548598Julius doesn't use tactics whatsoever. Waka winning via tactics is downplayed because Julius has no battle IQ. Just unga and bunga.
>>287550105>Julius is a retardFactually wrong.
>>287549410Top kek
>>287547303PEAKest fight in the series begins
>>287550149I'm sure he'd beat Waka in sports medicine trivia. In the actual fight he just pulled his way through.
>>287548733>tit sweatYES
>>287547457>right Rei (1)He should have been literally Sasuke, and the only teenager on the tournament
>>287550149He didn't even "adapt" to sawadas kick. He just got saved by the sheer stat difference and simply picked him up and manhandled him
>>287550193He made very good calls and only got outplayed in an understandable way that doesn't downplay his fight IQ>>287550225Didn't need to. Waka can actually hurt him.
>>287550242Julius would rape ohma. Ohma cannot go limp enough to disperse all that Julius has.
>>287550242Julius is high INT low WIS. Dude should learn some actual tech to back up his insane STR
>>287548714>>287549969How would One Piece written by Kubo be?
>>287550242All I'm saying is if there was a "fight IQ" tier list that went up to S, Julius would be a C and Waka a C+. Kanoh, Gensai, Ohma, Cosmos, Muteba, Okubo, Kaneda even all excel far better.
>>287549104Kung fu? Weak shit.
>>287550333I'd put Waka in B at least, possibly A-. Julius would be around B as well. Waka adapting to the loss of his eye is quite impressive too. Honestly I wouldn't really put him below Cosmos, Muteba or Okubo.
>>287548714Swords are hard to work around, once you're cut you are cut. At least in manga. In animation you can have spinning and clang clang noises and "Hayai" and it looks amazing. See S. Champloo for instance. It's why in Star Wars what carries the duels is the emotional story and/or music behind the fight. In manga there isn't much to do but you said it best, oda makes it work against DF users. Zoro vs Daz Bones shows us so much of Zoros techniques only because Daz can "tank" all of them. Same with Kaku or Pica.
>>287547264>Tashiro the ref has entered the arenaBut did you know he's known for his strict refereeing
>>287550061>I was hoping this day would never come, alas, here we are...
>>287550225>simply picked him up and manhandled himgiwtwm
>>287550061Kinda based. Really respect Takakaze.
>>287547247LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>287550333Factor in the commentary the fighters give throughout the KA. Waka recognized that Ohma is using his heart and showed he knew more than Jerry in this match. Cosmos also outwitted Okubo. So I have to put Waka above Okubo. Okubo certainly is "better" with his fighting style than Waka as he was able to trick the fang for a bit and showed good mastery across multiple fields whereas Waka Kinda uses simple karate. So I'll give Okubo that at least. Pay attention to the commentary, Himuro for instance scales high in battle iq
I still can't figure out what faggotbane is actually supposed to be
>>287550225>sees a fruity jobber fly across the air at him>calculates the velocity and damage in a split second with his GIANT brain>Sees no need to dodge a weak move like that and instead takes it to win instantly
>>287549190Postmodernist nonsense. You don't need to "get" Greek sculptures or Renaissance paintings
>>287550584I don't care for Baki glazers but would you say the same about FKMT artstyle?
>>287550426I forgot since Sandro didn't mention it, thank you anon.I'd be lost without these reminders and especially the intro boxes every chapter.
>>287550559If the one inch punch can summon power from nowhere, then demonsbane can completely send your power back and if it's with a kick then 2x multiplier
>>287550643>demonsbaneHe clearly asked about faggotsbane.
>>287550643>he doesn't know
Agito is just a smarter skilled version of Adam Dudley. High IQ but low everything is the legend HIMuro. Raian is High everything and low IQ. Rei is a fast glass jobber with medium everything.
>>287546932Bros, 15 chapters leftWe're done in a week
>>287550729>We're done in-HOWEVER
>>287550768Omega sucks
>>287549917For me it's goat
>>287549917Your taste is all right, anon.
>>287549917 #Your taste is all wrong, anon.
>>287547457>Inaba vs Medicine Man>Rei Vs InabaUnfathomable matchups Sandro.
>>287550609Well do people say you're "uninitiated" and "have to get it" and other cult-like stuff like that about FKMT too?
>>287550584>You don't need to "get" Greek sculptures or Renaissance paintingsyou do actually, there's multiple elements of historical context needed to actually appreciate the works beyond a childish understanding of art as simply decoration, the mindset of "looks pretty at a glance = good" is the same shit that ends with you accepting ai slop because it has pretty colors, art is a constantly evolving medium of communication that speaks within a specific culture and context, hell a lot of reinassance stuff looks downright ridiculous to modern tastes, which you'd realize if you actually bothered to look at it instead of randomly picking it because you have some third hand account of it being "good" art look for example at how a lot of the anatomical language of the reinassance era is (much like baki) over defined and "bumpy" like in the case of the baby here, this is both informed by the reliance of male models for painting, but also it was a stylistic choice for the sake of showcasing the human figure and adding as much form as possible, specifically soft rounded forms, which existed as a beauty standards of sorts for art, specially when depicting the divine
>>287551087>Well do people say you're "uninitiated" and "have to get it" and other cult-like stuff like that about FKMT too?yes.
>>287550333You're putting Waka below Muteba, who he beat specifically in battle of planning? Name one tactical error Waka makes in the series that isn't from lack of information.
>>287551087They mostly just say "fuck your shit taste it looks good" they're right
>>287550584If you read it you would realise that the art style perfectly fits the story Baki is trying to tell
>>287550994>>287551024are you "ready" to get "tucked" in at night, anon?
>>287550333>Muteba over WakaEh, Muteba knew about Judo, saw Meguro, and couldn't fathom getting grabbed in a standard grip. Akoya was doing the speaking for that half about grips but Muteba was probably thinking it, and got thrown for not anticipating. If anything Muteba is the C+ and waka is a B+.
>>287547264Gaolang adopting Kuroki's "just watch the match" mindset instead of making awful predictions
>>287549100A tragedy of sorts
Now that "it" is almost over, how well did your "predictions" go for the winners of each round on your first read?
You should just dump the whole last volume
>>287550787Only till the chapter 50. That's when the knife goes in. The twisting doesn't come till later and death even later on.
>>287550609Muteba bros.....
>>287547026>that kind of technique is suicidal for OhmaI'm kinda mad this drawback is forgotten in Omega. Ohma can just spam it however he wants
>>287551608Chibabros..........
>>287551645It was only forgotten after Kengan Vs Purgatory, but Sandro will remember about it again just to fuck Tiger Niko
>>287551608>>287551655
>>287526131>>287526144>>287526152>>287526163To this day I have no idea why Wakatsuki let go of Ohma's neck when that grip sealed any possibility of Ohma performing any meaningful counter. Not just the Demonsbane. >>287547397Kaneda is sobbing in the background.
>>287552093Waka could've just kept kneeing and Ohma would've literally died. 3 more knees tops.
>>287552093Honestly with his strength anytime he grappled someone he should have been able to win guaranteed. Same thing happened with muteba it makes no sense. >>287550333So i think c+ is reasonable
>>287550643
>>287547026Huh I guess kushida is also a martial arts prodigy to understand all that on her own>>287551645I interpreted it as being suicidal because if Ohma fucks up a little the drawback is huge and he takes too much damage
>>287552399Faggot, spoilers
>>287552407Presumably also because Ohma is all sorts of fucked up at the moment and the technique is basically using your own body as a rubber ball to bounce the opponents attack back at them. Of he were 100% he could probably shrug it off but in his condition, having that kinetic energy go into his body is probably going to make his heart explode
So there's this guy.... he's called Rick, "One inch" Rick. And he can't beat you every time your 1 inch of his dick.I heard he's pretty strong....
>>287552443You'll be thanking him in the long run.
>>287552454Huh? Anon are you drunk?
>>287547275Wasnt this ref's last match supposed to be agito vs Sen? he said it himself before the fight started
>>287552482Different guy, he had a goatee and a short ponytail not a mustache and glasses like this ref.
>>287552482I thought the same for a second but check this page >>287363306

>>287549299Shouldn't Femuroki be super old?
>>287547386GHOST FIGHT!!! GHOST FIGHT!!! WOOOOO!!!
>>287554681Kuroki is in his 50s or so. He isn't a complete geezer.
>>287550011Because, like a lot of stuff in Omega, it was just Sandro going 'hey member that cool thing from Ashura you loved? well here it is again but not nearly as good'
>>287555465I actually thought that fight was good, just not nearly as much and it felt like it didn't matter in the end
>>287553976He's a huge man living in Japan. By now he must have developed the "it can't be helped" mentality.
>>287547386>water elemental vs. air elementalTruly unfathomable
>>287555581Kuroki is air and rock, Agito is water and fighting
Waka got punched so hard that I found him through a link in /v/https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/730464832/#730467868
>>287555465One of the central problems with Omega is that it focuses on fighters who already hit their peak and have no logical place to go. Purgatory in particular is a long series of mirror match-ups where the entire upper tier of KAT fighters get their chance to beat up a bad guy double of themselves to show off improvements. But they all hit their limit as fighters during Asura so all Sandro can really do is have the characters retrace their old steps. Agito gets to do this phasing through blows shit again and wins with the Dragon Shot because what else is he gonna do? We've seen his best already and that's it. Gaolang? He gets a meaninglessly stronger punch. Waka? Almost nothing. Akoya? Actually nothing. Ohma? Advance isn't fucking killing him anymore I guess. It was a lot more fun when it was focusing on beginner fighters like Ryuki and Koga who had obvious holes in their game with logical ways to grow. It's why the Rihito fight is one of the only good ones in there because he's one of the only guys there with room to become a better fighter who isn't a dead end yet.
>>287547457>Sawada would have jobbed to Rei>Medicine Man would have been in the tournament as a fighter>Inaba would have been spared a jobbing from OhmaWhat could have been>>287548158I like Baki, I think his fight with Retsu was complete bullshit. And I miss Retsu, he was fun. At least he can do whatever in his Isekai adventures and not get fed to the new guy
>>287555774>AkoyaNo no no, that guy is just insane in Omega. Say whatever you want about his fighting style, but don't talk shit about him.
>>287547097Deformed Agito culo
>>287555774>One of the central problems with Omega is that it focuses on fighters who already hit their peak and have no logical place to go.Not to mention this problem is confounded by the "Kenganvenger" disease the manga has of never letting any of these fighters lose or even look bad. Maybe you COULD squeeze a bit more out of the Ashura cast by having them face a foe that's a genuine threat, but the entire manga is just a huge wank fest for them instead, except the wank is completely meaningless because we've already seen the wank in Ashura, and it never builds up to anything like it does in Ashura.
>>287548686I will defend Baki's artstyle to the death. It's grotesque but that works with the idea that all these fighters have dedicated themselves so hard to martial arts that they've become downright monstrous as a result.
>>287547247Kuroki should have been in Tekken 8.
>>287556006That'll be $100,000 Bandai
>>287548397> So how was he making that "clack" sound earlier?I really wonder...
>>287548684>Julius just being a /fit/fag Nah, now I know that you're just wanting (You). Here.None of them were newbies,, not being a master in a formal martial arts style, doesn't mean combat inexperience. Júlia even had more than 50 kengan marches.
>>287555774The other problem with Omega that piggybacks off of this is that Sandro really wanted to write a Street Fighter esque series this also requires him to raise the threat ceiling so now you have foreign Kure offshoots, terrorists and even more insane super humans running around (most notably the insane proliferation of Superman Syndrome) this gives those top tier Kat guys more stuff to do but it's at the cost of guys like Koga now being completely outclassed which precipitated the return of a certain someone TLDR what hat killed Omega IMO was that Sandro couldn't make peace with old Kengan and the Street Fighter plot he really wanted to do so you end up with a shitty mishmash that he and Daro got tired of but made too much money off of to actually end.
>>287556682>(most notably the insane proliferation of Superman Syndrome)Didn't Seki tell us recently the world had ten or so? We are still under 10 in Omega.
>>287555465Sounds like Dragonball Super.
>>287556855The fact that like two or three of them besides Waka have shown up is still kinda absurd. There are like at least two Worms with it probably a few more for a "surprise" reveal (bet it's Chopstick Johnny)
>>287553914I would still think its Seki even if he didnt have a bra on, his chest looks like it has no real boobs on it. He has never even heard of body fat
>>287551092Anon you schooled that retarded. Thanks for the good post.>>287552093>>287552230Abandon all logical thought. The fight is ass. That's all.
>>287547397Sen crying because his dodging gimmick got done better
>>287553871Based.
>>287550105Muteba didn't outwit Waka, Waka predicted where he was going to attack by narrowing down the possible targets and stopped it by flexing his neck, then countered. Waka picking up that Muteba had robot eyes is an insane read, whereas Muteba would have seen Julius use Waka like a dishrag.Waka is being harsh on himself, he did misunderstand how Demonsbane worked but that's a pure information issue, you can't make the determination that it can be thrown as a kick too until you see it.
>>287553085''They'' are still ''green''.
>>287547133Back when Daro still knew to draw Sayaka with a woman's face
>>287550541OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSTO!
>>287556192kek
>>287552399Ohma beating Agito in the finals with a new last moment powerup secret technique was so cliche.
>>287562765I mean, with demonsbane existing, it was kind of obvious godsbane would appear eventually
>>287548609It's the sanest non meme explanation, but it's far fetched. the panels are after Ohma received full treatment, so some time after his match, and just before the kuroki/fang match.
>>287556006>>287556192Tekken 9 should have a Kengan guest character on god(T8 can't be saved so we might as well wait a gen)
>>287555859>Deformed*formless
>>287553085I'm assuming that reading Omega is like reading the Necronomicon or something.
>>287564745there are panels in waka match showing kanoh coming by kuroki's entrance
>>287547247>287547857daro peaked herehe knew he wouldn't be able to reach this height again so he went all in on ai
>>287567599You've got it all wrong, it's the Pandora Box!
>>287565616>T8 can't be savedIt's a shame because visually it really looks amazing
>>287569242also had a shockingly good story mode
>>287569242>>287569361The ol' Smash Bros Brawl disease.
>>287547247Fuck yes man. Time for the best fight in all of Kengan and one of the best in fighting manga period.
>>287567599"You" are not "prepared" to "understand" what Omega is "about"
>>287567599What does reading the Necronomicon do? Isn't it like, a book to revive the dead?
>>287569361It was kinda ass outside of Jin and Kazuya beating the shit out of each each other for what felt like a 1000 years.
>>287567599
>>287571627good post "me". no "one" can "understand" "our" esoteric "shitposting"
>>287553085I will not be reading omega, I respect myself
>>287571892See you next week, Anon.
>>287549299>>287552614Pants stay off
>>287571892It's pretty good for 49 chapters.You can "quit" after that if you want.
>>287571892You are already caught in "The Spider's Web" you just don't know it yet.
Okay, real talk: there's no way the "real finals" would ever be anything but Agito vs Kuroki. Regardless of how any other fight went, the two of them are head and shoulders above any other fighter in the tournament, especially as they are in R4. Wakafags and Juliusfags need not apply.
>>287547932To show that even when hit with the strongest attack ever seen, he's still got that dog in him and will keep fighting until he physically can no longer stand. For such an overpowered dude, Waka acts like an underdog.
>>287571892>I will not be reading omega, I respect myself>I can "quit" whenever I want
>>287572397Nah, I'm quite sure Waka and Julius have at least a decent chance to beat them.
>>287547026I don't think a completely unharmed Ohma would have a real shot at either, honestly, even considering all his powerups.
>>287547133Yeah I see what you all mean now
Omega is terrible before chapter 50, you people are fucking crazy. Just because it becomes an absolute dumpster fire after that point doesn't make this any less true.
>>287547386Kino
>>287547444Our very first HOWEVER of the fight
>>287551645It's only suicidal here because he's on death's door, in Omega he's a god that walks like a man.
>>287552399Don't be a cunt now
>>287567599Pretty much, at least when paired with these threads
>>287572439There is no way in hell Julius so much as bruises either of them, and I'm not even taking Omega into account.
>>287572883Julius is incredibly tanky and wont go down easily. Any of his hits would hurt them bad and I don't even know how much they can do if he gets a bearhug, especially Kuroki who doesn't have quite Agito's stats. Well at the end of the day it's just pointless speculation and would only depend on what the author wants to write but Ashura didn't have invincible super saiyans, the tournament could end very differently depending on brackets I think.
>>287546932Bros... is "it" happening today or tomorrow?
>>287571892>I respect myselfI thought that too, 7 years ago...
The "tragedy" has fallen upon "us"...
If you say "tragedy" one more time "I" will be the one causing "it"!
>>287553085Kengan Omega threads look absolutely deranged from the POV of outsiders.
>>287574225kek, I just now noticed the Hassad poster
I can only hope OP is getting laid and receiving the sloppiest top of all time.
the Storytime missfires...
The new thread will be up in a few moments.
what the hell man delete that shitno spoilers
>>287574385A pox upon thee and your children's children.
Imagine having nothing better to do with your time than to spoil a comfy storytime thread.
