Chapter 352: Julius vs Gilbert, Then...
Fin
>>287629104Can Sandwich literally not do non 1v1s or something
>>287629104Thx OP!>>287628679>Punch connects>>287628702>next page it doesn'tIs this a new low for bad choreography?
>>287628983How is he spinning his whole arm without spinning his fist
>>287629104Compressed Toa.>>287629181I think the idea is that Judota grabs his hand after the punch, but it's a bad idea and doesn't look good.
>>287628780>so we have a three way>...nah you guys can fight its cool i'll waitwhat is wrong with this manga
>>287628658Literally how is Julius shorter than Gilbet?Has it always been like this?
>they put Arashiyama in the fight cuck chair
Hassad soon.
>>287629104>when you have to pair up in PE
>>287629104>Nothing happens Better than the baseline for Omega i guess.
Is it the writer or the artist that seemingly cannot fathom the concept of a fight involving more than 2 people
another negative hype chapter
>>287629860Toa is based tho
Is it weird that Sandwich segregated the purgatory fighters to their own fights?It's like the womens division
>>287629878once they unzip him, maybe
>>287629181"Punch appears to land but then it's shown that it didn't" happens all the time in Kengan, including Ashura
>>287628983Juliusbros... we're not gonna be humilliated again, are we...?
I expect nothing and I'm still let down
>>287628983Shouldn't Julius body start spinning?
>>287630464>happens all the time in KenganProblem is the sequence of events, the punch did hit, but no impact shot of Julius's face to sell the hit, that's why I pointed out, but I'm beating a dead horse I know
>>287628702what the fuck is this expression trying to convey?!
>>287629104W-who is this mystery nigga!?
>>287630690I assume either spitting blood or still reeling from the blow
Gilbert shouldnt even be able to stop a fucking punch from Julius what the fuck Sandro look at the fucking weight difference
>>287630690where the fuck does the mouth end or begin?
I recall Jurota is pretty damn big, so this is 4 of the biggest fighters in the series running into each other.
>>287628983his arm is spinning???
>>287631681Now we just need to get Haruo in there
>>287629104This chapter feels so weird to readIt's like it's even worse than the usual Omega
>>287628983What?
>>287631616Like, 20%?
>>287629104None of this make sense.
I miss cosmo i want to see more ryona of him
>>287632820The BB was fun.
>>287629822>>287629132I'm convinced the AI tool they shamelessly use in place of Asura's choreographer just doesn't have sufficient Asura/early Omega material to create free for alls/non solo fights. There's bits of the boat brawl and maybe Raian vs. the 2x guardians, but I don't think there's an actual 1 v 1 v 1 fight that isn't someone else interrupting a hallway scuffle and the conflict dissolving. It feels nitpicky, but really, how do you do a Fortnite arc without multiple party fights? Surely one of them has been third-party'd in a battle royale before
>>287629356Yeah, Julius was only the fourth tallest in the KAT, and Eddie was big enough to make Xia Ji look small by comparison
>>287628679>>287628702actually and unironically looks like one of those ai generated comics that indians try to shill online
>>287628658>>287628702>dramatic v-taper, small waist, shoulders are around 4-5 heads wide>>287628730>>287628923>suddenly gets an extremely thick waist and a more square shape
>>287628999How tall is Julius, again? Being able to hit him in the face with a knee is actually fucking impressive
>>287628702>>287628730>Nobody talking about how Jurota threw Gilbert back at least two meters by pushing his wrist with a two finger grip
>>287629032>>287629067For a second I liked this and then I realized it's literally just what Julius does against the ballerina dudeSandro is so tapped for ideas he's stealing from his past self
>>287633296That has always been his thing. Swing is one of the most bullshit techniques in Kengan and that's including the Niko style.>I touch you and you're down
>>287633281Anon, please, THE FIRST FUCKING PAGE
>>287628780This chapter is proof that Gilbert isn't Eddie. Eddie never talked like this.
>>287633398His fucking fashion sense should've already given that away. It's weird he never develops further from that.
>>287628658Thank you for the dump, OP
>>287628658>>287629104Genuinely feels like this chapter was 95% AI. All the drawings look like they're done by AI and the dialogue feels completely random and what the characters are doing is also incoherent. Fucking hell man. That's so fucking grim.
>>287628832The difference between his arms when he first revealed this shit and now is genuinely fucking awful. Before it looked like individually corded muscle fibers forming something like snakeskin. Now it's just a shitty looking indian burn.
>>287629822It's the AI. The more characters you add, the more confused it gets and the more mistakes and continuity errors it makes.
>>287633618Everyone knows these fighters are in a "SURVIVAL FREE-FOR-ALL BATTLE ROYALE" in a treacherous, hazardous, death-zone forest, so they wear crew cut socks, sneakers, Ralph Lauren shorts and a T-shirt.
>>287630722>mom says it's my turn on the xbox
>>287624824He was also present during the Xia Ji year of humiliation
>>287631616Mate, if fucking Himuro could survive being body slammed by Waka then Gilbert can do whatever the fuck he wants against Julius.
>>287628730Julius looks different in every panel, it's so fucking pathetic how far this series has fallen.
>>287629104Two chapters of "oooohhhh we're definitely going to do a fight with three fighters at once, behold this novel concept" into "eh whatever here's two extremely predictable 1v1s". Not to mention the terrible art and extremely awkward writing. Please just put Kengan out of its misery already man.
>>287634200Funnier still is when they tried to imply it with Seki vs. Gao vs. Raian
>>287628780It's not gay if it's a threeway. With a honey in the middle there's some leeway
>>287629853>>287629875Always has been
>>287628983>ha i've countered your punch with its weakpoint!>your punches' weakpoint is your fist!The writing is so fucking shit. You're telling me his incredibly powerful punch has always been counterable by just... grabbing his fist?Being a powerful tanky character is the worst fate you can have in this manga because you're a punching bag and your super powerful attacks are always countered easily.Better to be a twink who uses "technique" because you get the same amount of power but you don't have to face tank every punch thrown your way.
>>287630690AI have no mouth and I must scream.
We have like 200 fighters left man you can't he giving Julius the three chapter treatment
>>287633314>Sandro is so tapped for ideas he's stealing from his past selfThe AI needs a reference after all. It can't create. Only Kure Clan: Copy.
You're all mere nutrients to me
>>287635439Is he implying he'll eat them? Why nutrients? Fucking weird.
>>287634447>his incredibly powerful punch has always been counterable by just... grabbing his fist?Principles innit>>287628780>>287635439Yeah, what the fuck is that nutrient shit about? I was so confused when I first read it but forgot about it
>>287628983>strength so casually negated by bro sciencePrinciples is one of the worst mistakes in martials arts manga history.
>>287629232It's muscle control. I ain't got to explain shit
I love AI
>>287635516Yeah, we know Sandro/Daro.
It's crazy just how bad this manga is. It would be one thing if Asura and Omga pre-omaha return were total trash, but they were fine turn your brian off fightan. This is just the sloppiest of the slop imaginable, completely different scale of trash. If you told me the original author quit years ago and his editor has been having his assistants using the AI stuff the entire time, I wouldn't be surprised.
>>287637087when they lost that editor/stunt instructor dude from Asura during COVID, it was over. This has been a zombified manga for a long time.
>>287637087>>287637301Is Berserker and Dragon Ball Super as bad now without their creators?
>>287628983I think "Principles" might be the single most manga-ruining decision I have ever seen.>oh shit, he's going to punch me>if I just touch his fist though, all the power does away immediately because 4000 years
>>287637484Berserk is basically just using spark notes to get through the story. You can tell what's missing, but they have the key components. We haven't gotten any dragon ball post Toriyama yet. It's still been all stuff he cooked or helped cook. Whenever the super manga returns, that'll be Toyo fully at the helm.
>>287628983>Spinning arms without spinning the fistThen what's the point? What's the point of a corkscrew arm with no corkscrew fist? Are you just trying to damage your muscles?
>>287637719>Whenever the super manga returns, that'll be Toyo fully at the helm.Which is bad news because the quality of the arcs were inversely proportional to how much freedom he had.
>>287637858>Then what's the point?And more importantly: How is it even possible and how does that even work?Because you can't really turn your arms without turning your first.
>>287637858Le transverse wave becomes le longitudinal
>>287637908He just spins his radius and ulna through muscle magic and sticky ligaments, the second he starts the whole area just sounds like horrible grinding bone. Nobody knows why he does it, it doesn't help anything.
>>287637913What is a punch a fucking magnetic field now? Does he have to follow left hand rule? Are both his arms spinning in the same direction to allow the punch-tricity to go in the same vector?
>oh it's a three way>nah il'll just sit in the fuck chairthe fuck is the point of any of this
>>287637719I didn't know any of that. Thank you for the answer
>>287628780>So we have a three way>Jurota just bows out for some reason immediately afterward and it's a 1v1 again>>287629067>"looks like I missed my chance to step in"WHERE? WHERE DID YOU MISS IT? IT'S STILL RIGHT THERE YOU CAN STILL FUCKING GO IN THERE AND FIGHT NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU
>>287632820>How do I, the master of choking people out, defeat the man with the titanium skeleton?>By trying to strike him to death of course!Even the BB isn't exempt. Why? Why did Cosmo become a striker?
do you think when Koga fought off the worms during the Ohma Edo Tensei, they respectfully 1v1'd him until they all got knocked out?
>>287638008>>nah il'll just sit in the fuck chair>>>fuckToa... RUN
>>287638365>KogaStop fucking talking about POKEMON in here.
>>287638356He was trying to scale the wall, but ended up "sliding" down the "slope".
This whole thing would have been better as a group wank off.
>>287638776That would be a waste of "nutrientes"
>>287638904The Tger has been waiting for this moment, stretching Shen's asshole daily for 100 years.
>>287629104I am reading this after the kanoh vs Gensai fight and the ongoing ohma vs Gensai fight.Idk what to say.
>>287628658Why does Julius looks so fucking off????
The Volume 24 extra has a very Cromartie feel to it. Kuroki is clearly a master of the Gaslighting Kata just like Kamiyama. Just needs one final panel of Lolong on a bench, holding his head and commenting about how on second thought, nothing Kuroki said makes sense
>>287640339
>>287640360
>>287640379
>>287640398
>>287640413
>>287640436
>>287640339The problem with that is what Kuroki said does make sense. Why take up a portapotty if someone else might need it and they're not getting naked?
>>287640436Oh by scaling the wall they mean assfucking while clinging to manly pecs. All the kenganers have been having massive gay orgies to get stronger.
>>287628999>>287629032I appreciate that they portray Julius as a monster, but it's pretty obvious he's gonna job
>>287640398Did they help Kanoh suit up?
>>287640436I really feel like Kuroki talking like that is way too out of character
>>287642243It's a sign of Sandro not giving a shit anymore. Select few characters never got put into these gags back in Asura, with Kuroki being one of them.
>>287629181It clearly did connectYour crop is Julius after getting punched in the face which is why his face is contorted like that. Of all the shit to complain about
>>287637960your arms have no electrons?
>>287642369He got the dumb from Rihito just like how Mihawk became sillier around Zoro.
>>287634447This is just Julius being extra fucking retarded and tripling down on his "techniques don't matter lol" even though he's been proven wrong twice already.As Waka, Raian, Agito, and multiple other characters have proven, you can be a STRfag and use techniques at the same time and it's nothing but a straight benefit. Julius is so set on trying to prove a point that doesn't even work just because he's a stubborn roider.
I hope you all brush up on the rules in your spare time, next week.
>>287643149lol
>>287628802Wow, a 3-way battle. This is going to be the first time this battle royale format actually delivers on something interesting. Shame it still devolves into a series of 1v1s because we can't have nice things here. >>287629232>How is he spinning his whole arm without spinning his fistThe way Gotten-totter is treated. He is essentially performing a one-inch blast core by flexing his muscles to their limit and releasing the energy in one burst. Note Julius' hands when pressed against Toa are in the same position after launching his opponent. The spiral imagery is primarily to convey how energy is traveling up his arms through his muscles, but not actual rotation of his limbs. However, he did and can also rotate his forearm on top of this to use that released energy defensively.
Fortnite tournamentBut third partying is banned
>>287629427
>>287640413Bottom right panel is so funny
A format that forces gank or multi fighter battles? A closing arena forcing said fighters into a corner? A glut of Kenganvengers ready to breathe down the neck of every worm? My rat has this tournament when he's revealed.
>>287628832
>>287629104its obvious both julius with job to gilbert, gilbert is more improtant to the plot at the moment. Toa will "probably" job to jurota, but might win so sandro "le subverts expectations", plus jurota has already lost random fights like twice now.
>>287644013>A format that forces gank or multi fighter battles?So one would think...
>>287629104Toa just standing there menacingly is so funny
>character has been losing a lot/lost their last couple of fights so surely Sandro will throw them a bone this time!I don’t know why people keep clinging to this when we’ve seen the opposite multiple times. Sandro has no problem having characters go on losing streaks or never getting any significant victories. (cough himuro, lolong)As much as people meme about subversions they don’t happen nearly as much as they think. Gilbert ain’t losing to anyone except Raian.
>toaBASED
>buy this new battle royale game>so far so good, but constant updates are a bit annoying>one time run into some 1v1 fight and decide to join in for some easy kills>"DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?">they report me>I get permabanned for "harassment">money stolen
>>287628658wouldn't it be crazy if, for the final arc, sandro/daro locked in and it turned out to be really good and redeemed the whole manga? ha ha...
>>287639139Sorry you had to see this.
>>287646668I belieb
>>287646311Nobody else here is low-brow and new zealander enough to get it, but I do. That's fucking funny.
>>287646668Anon...
>>287634447>Being a powerful tanky character is the worst fate you can have in this manga because you're a punching bag and your super powerful attacks are always countered easily.Isn't that most manga about fighting? Even if those characters land a hit, they're not even allowed to one-shot anyone of note because that would be anti-climatic. So in the end, you just become fodder for everybody else.
>the guy who almost got ko'ed by a guy ohma was toying with is making the upgraded version of the penultimate antagonist struggleMakes 0 sense. Might as well have Shen struggle against Inaba
>>287647354Well, what part of principles actually counters hair magic?
>>287647354Shen will never struggle against anyone because he has absorbed protagonist-focused morality.Gilbert is too mean and angry to be competent. His old self also committed the biggest crime anyone in this manga can commit (killing a Kenganvenger). His entire new life will be the most painful humiliation ritual anyone can imagine.
Even Raian realized that mashing the A button like a retard would only get you so far even if you completely outclassed your opponent in strength.Julius needs to just swallow his pride or fight someone like Kaneda so he can platter them and convince himself that techniques don't matter.
>>287647628Kaneda would win. He trained with Ohma and evolved through Sen, it's over for his next opponent.
>>287647628Julius’ muscles is just like samurai armor you know
>>287647384Shen will find "the point of force" of the hair, "redirect the impact" with the "right timing" and break his hair for "being too strong".
>>287646668Lmao, if anyone despises this manga more than keng/a/n it's Daro
>refuses to elaborate further
Beautiful"We" truly have "arrived"
>>287647384
>>287648267Haki
>>287634400He's older than I though. Feels younger in general with how inexperienced he generally is.
>>287648267"just fucking punch" is the most basic of silat technique
Would Goku learn Kuroki's style if he was in Kengan? Since Kuroki is kinda like Roshi of the KAT?
>>287649218>the guy who only exists to be a parallel to Kuroki that kenganvengers are allowed to defeat
>>287633281anon is faster than even rei when reading
>>287628780Seriously, does anyone have the raws for this page?
>>287648302
>>287640360>>287640379>>287640398>>287640413>>287640448I actually like this and it does surprise Kanoh being suited up never really gets brought up before. I swear I don't remember him in any other outfits that his battle suit, a formal suit and biker.
>>287629104Thank you for posting.
>>287628780>nutrientsHe isnt going to eat them right? Julius probably has 150kg of protein in his body and Jurota is pretty chunky himself
>>287650096No
>>287654805He will do whatever it takes to avenge his best man
>>287646507Germans do love their scatology.
>>287649218This feat was a mistake. It made the losses to Ohma and Agito extra retarded.
>>287656138Reminder that Lolong has like double Waka's fights and wins. Goat was feeding jobbers to him every other day.
Now that the multi-month long huisheng is finished, "I'm" expecting a "fresh batch" of new "me"s.
>>287656814Heh... "I'm" the only "me" we "need"...
>>287656532Unfathomable levels of "nutrients"
>>287638228Who is this thrustworthy and not monkey-looking fellow?
>>287638311He failed the QTE
>>287638311You don't get it, he missed his chance and going in now would be really awkward
>>287657289That's why Toa is standing all the way back there all awkwardly as well. Cause he missed his chance to jump in when it was just Jurota and Julius.
>>287657289>>287657423Fighters being socially awkward is canon so I'll go with this reason. Reminder that Jurota saw some child on the tv, got hard and then spent a decade in the woods.
>>287642243We know Kuroki talks shit from half of his fights. He's gruff and tends to talk down to people if they're doing something he thinks is dumb. He's old and tsuntsun.
>>287648267This beta Cosmo looking faggot had to reason to be in the KvP
>>287645848In Sandro's mind, Ramon was probably a significant win for Lolong.
>>287657676Ramon felt like an attempt at making an evil Kuroki but Sandro couldn't settle on what he wanted out of the character so he changed every chapter.
>>287646668>and redeemed the whole mangaActually impossible. Kengan Omega could have the single best final arc of any manga ever and it still wouldn't redeem the garbage of the past few years. We've long since gone past the point of no return. Any good will the final arc could glean with this hypothetical top tier quality would still be marred by the sins of the majority of the manga's run.
>>287647354>the guy who almost got ko'ed by a guy ohma was toying with is making the upgraded version of the penultimate antagonist struggleWhat the fuck are these actual mental gymnastics?
>>287656138What feat? Beating Toa?Why have people convinced themselves Lolong one-shot Toa when it says that exactly nowhere in the entire manga?
>>287657749>Sandro couldn't settle on what he wanted out of the character so he changed every chapter.Boy if that doesn't perfectly describe about 300 odd chapters then I don't know what does.
>>287648267>inb4 it's just fa jin
>>287657822NTA but everyone in Purg acts like he did or at the very least, all of his wins were him dominating his opponent. This immediately falls flat with Ohma's fight though, hence the Rolon vs. Lolong "meme".
>>287657879We were already told in-canon that the Kengan Association is just made of that much stronger stock than Purgatory. Purgatory has a higher volume of fighters overall and it pays better, but the KA has the best of the best with just a handful of international outliers. >immediately falls flat with Ohma's fight thoughOhma is the same guy that gave (an injured) Kuroki a decent run for his money will lying half dead. Kuroki himself admitted that it was a true shame that Ohma wasn't healthy and that he wasn't sure if he would have won under different circumstances. Ohma then went on to polish skills every day for two years with the Kure clan while suffering no ill effects after his heart transplant and KAT injuries. Honestly, it's no surprise that Ohma defeated Lolong with modest difficulty. He's fucking ridiculous in the context of Omega. Is it good writing? Fuck no, that fight was a travesty, but let's not pretend Lolong was properly set up to be worth a damn at all with how schizophrenically he was written.
What was the key chapter that made Daro give up?
>>287658029Pretty sure Sandro makes him redraw stuff in a stupid ass way and it was just a fairly slow decline of interest from Daro.
>>287657822Toa is a behemoth about the size of Julius, and he's a redirectionfag on top of it. He should be one of the tankiest characters in the series. I don't think Lolong necessarily one shotted Toa but the visual is trying to say that Lolong's strikes are so powerful that a body blow can put down Toa. That's some Superman Syndrome shit if you ask me. I'm annoyed in general with Ohma and Agito's ability to ignore everything because LOL INDESTRUCTIBLE.
>>287658029There were definitely cracks showing in KVP what with Toa's tattoo's just being left copy and pasted. I'd say maybe around the Fei leak and he might've gotten an earful from Sandro. Can't really tell where the AI shit started.
>>287658141Toa is basically specced into the equivalent of Water and Redirection kata, so a really good body blow should be able to put him down since, like you reference, it's not like he's using the principles of Indestructible. He's huge, but he's not a flexing god. Realistically, it looks like Lolong struck him in the liver with that punch, so Toa's size sort of worked against him there with how Lolong was able to low-angle him.
Does anyone actually keep up with this shit or do all of you check in only when you’re browsing /a/ and see a Kengan chapter dump thread up like I do? And to everyone who’s actually following this and keeping up with all the plot threads and actually remembering who all the Omega characters are…why?Genuinely asking why, I’m actually curious
>>287658289It's like watching a train derail. It's also fun to play "spot the bullshit/AI/retcon" with other anons.
>>287648267god, misasa is so fucking cute
>>287658344How wild has Worm and Huisheng or whatever its called shit gotten? Are they still the big bad of the series? I saw some mustache guys apparently the leader or something and he’s the worst guy ever
>>287658289Yeah I follow Kengan quite eagerly. Every Wednesday. Spices up the week, you know? Wednesdays are on par with Fridays and Saturdays to me. I think the writing has gone off a cliff and I don't even enjoy the fights anymore. Not a good sign when fights feel like bad filler in a battle manga. I just want to see what retarded plot developments Sandro comes up with next. I want to see how this all ends too.
>>287658189>Fei leakQrd?
>>287658487Kind of what Chainsaw Man was to me too. Why are they even on this island rn anyway? Fighting over who gets to be Kengan Ass Chairman again?
>>287657761>Lolong wakes up from his premonition and brains Ohma with an elbow>a new KAT tournament happens>it's amazing
I think I followed Kengan up until the point where the twink with Superman Syndrome was getting bullied by Koga and Cosmo’s mentors. Around 2021, I think it was. Or 22?
>>287658289I come merely for the shitposting which is more entertaining than the manga itself specially when an OC drawing is posted like the recent waka vs himuro one
Sandro needs to jump the shark and introduce aliens into the story already.Might as well, right?
>>287658004>let's not pretend Lolong was properly set up to be worth a damn at all with how schizophrenically he was written.I think about a timeline where Sandro went through with his original idea and had Lolong insta-job
>>287658289"I" only "enjoy" this shitnga if it's with "my" "other halfs". Without "me" this shitnga just vaporizes from "my" train of thought. Like during "that" hack, "I" genuinely did not even look up for kengan threads on different layers of the "Inside" until "we're" all back "here".
>>287658289I follow weekly, I like the threads and reading the manga is engaging even if it's garbage. I even still rile myself up thinking about potential scenarios that will never be written cause Sandro is a hack. I also do like some characters so I have vested interest in their appearance.
>>287658526Basically on Daro's stream, he accidentally showed his draft on Fei's dead bloodied face. Considering it was a tight match, it sent people to a frenzy.
>>287658482The Worm is all over the place because the leaders are so chill it makes no sense why they were ever so malicious in the first place.Huisheng lore hasn't changed that much but there are still some strange bits like the Wu Heis not being as powerful as they ought to be or Ryuki needing to be tested by Naidan for something or this latest addition where you can just put on a VR headset and blast the information into your brain.
Is the superman syndrome twink still around? I still think the concept of a guy who’s the ultimate Potential Man but too scared of actually living up to that potential and so resorts to being a rat who scurries up walls with pure grip strength when cornered is pretty funny.
>>287658777No, he's only been mentioned in flashbacks. We don't know where he is or if he's still alive.

>>287658769>this latest addition where you can just put on a VR headset and blast the information into your brain.Ayyy what the fuck? Is that something they can do to say, Ohma or Koga or does whoever the target is have to be from the Kure or Wu clan?
>>287658863If Nicolas can be revived anyone can be revived
>>287658711“Your” “schizophrenia” is truly “advanced”How do I “scale the wall”?
Who is the omega and who is his alpha?
>>287658777Xia Ji hasn't been around in any capacity since his lynching. He was mentioned as an informant around chapter 220 and shown in a photograph maybe 30 chapters ago with the real Nicolas but that's it.
Why even are they Worm bad guys?What do they do?
"Evil" is on the move.....
>>287658868Yeah, Luohan and Niko have just been uploading Shen's database on martial arts into their heads.
Scale the wall, you mighty champion
>>287658004>We were already told in-canon that the Kengan Association is just made of that much stronger stock than Purgatory. Purgatory has a higher volume of fighters overall and it pays better, but the KA has the best of the best with just a handful of international outliers.If anything about the "plot" of Kengan, every single detail involving details surrounding Kengan Association is completely irrelevant.For what Kengan Association was set-up to be, and how the fights these CEOs gambled on were practically minor (though famous) in its application... it quickly just becomes "Worldwide Wrestling Federation." And the very moment "Purgatory" & "Bishamon" &"Death Fight" & "Underground -1" & "Slaughter Colosseum" & "an unnamed league taking place in Tokyo Dome" & "Heroic Tales" are introduced, Kengan Association is literally an underground entertainment industry and holds no fundamental value whatsoever.It just becomes Sandrovich's "WCW vs NWO vs MMA vs WWF vs WWE vs UFC vs ONE vs IBF." And the fighters are all demi-gods who fall to kittens if-need-be.For readers who are cool with that, okay. Shounen-time, I guess.But I didn't like that.
>>287659005No fucking wayYou weren’t shitting me its actually realWhat even is this manga? Couple more years and it’ll start giving Tekken lore a run for its money
>>287658289I keep up every week because I have nothing to do and I like the memes. Honest answer.
>>287658678I like this. This is justified, now.
>>287658972Back in the day they used to infiltrate, kill and replace people with their own.Nowadays they just blow shit up and kill themselves because Shen wants World Peace or something
>>287659098Why not, right? Its just ridiculous enough that it’d create enough buzz that might get more people to read again to find out how we got there
>>287658972Omega is a manga from the villain's POV. Go read up the last 100 or so chapters if you don't believe me. The villain's are the good guys because they're the protagonists.
>>287659173It could make Kengan Association more than just a Japan or Asian important league; it could make it a planetary global powerhouse to represent "Earth" in "the Solar System" league (or even bigger, on a universe-scale).Which sounds perfect for Sandro: he gets to make his KA characters more famous and gets to make his Japanese fighting league the most important thing on Earth. He'd love that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCTRyBz6bdo
>>287658769>Worm is all over the place because the leaders are so chill it makes no sense why they were ever so malicious in the first placeTo be fair, a lot of awful people still like to chill in their off time and can casually commit atrocities precisely because they're so broken as human beings that these personality discrepancies don't make them bat an eye.
>>287658972The problem with the Worm is that the leader is completely air-headed and doesn't really care about anything beyond asking them to do some research for him. The Worm has no reason behind any of the evil shit they do. The best explanation is that the Worm is a religious cult that has grown too big and has ran out of control, there is a plot point where the "main" Worm branch wanted to destroy the other ones and it's implied they were the ones doing the most heinous terrorist acts. This does not fix any problems though because now it's a question of why the Worm grew so big in the first place. What did Shen want all these resources for? Why kill and replace people with doubles? Why not find a more legitimate way to join the Kengan Association?
>>287632820TOTAL SAW PAING VICTORY FUCK COSMO FUCK COSMO FUCK COSMOOOOOOOOOO
>>287658972Kengan is a manga that establishes its setting as "the most extreme reason!!!!!" and then never gives an extreme reason. Ever."Why?" Because, uh... I want to? Question mark?
>>287658289>And to everyone who’s actually following this and keeping up with all the plot threads and actually remembering who all the Omega characters are…why?I'm autistic and I can't stop myself from remembering these details against my will.
>>287640413Is Kanoh buds with Kuroki now?
>>287659244I believe you because the Worm haven’t really done anything bad enough to be the bad guys, at least to me. They just seem like a group of martial arts obsessives who occasionally do cage matches to the death to figure out who the biggest martial arts chad is and some of them self induce schizophrenia to LARP as dead people
Protagonist status?
>>287659301He could make it so the reason why both the Kure and the Wu have had these exhaustive breeding programs and Huisheng is because they’ve been trying to create ultimate warriors strong enough to compete in a prophesied galactic tournament where the winner gets to become literal Martial Arts God or something
>>287659591Who?
>>287659549The Kenganvengers are family, anon
>>287659475Why?Because why not.Its a free country…or is this the other side of the Berlin Wall?
>>287659591
>>287659591Achieving Swolga status
>>287659752I want to post that very early Kengan Asura page where Nogi explains to Kazuo why you don't say "fuck you" to Kengan Association CEOs and never pay money or don't collect debt or I forgot what they were talking about. Where Kazzy quietly remarks, "well I would just do this, I guess?" and Nogi remarks, "I see. So YOU'RE A PUSSY?" and Kazzy is shocked!...but I can't find the page and mangadex doesn't have the chapters online, so oh well.It's one of my favorite pages for how funny it is, to me, despite how serious it wants to be and how hypocritical it becomes.Here's an ISSK webm instead.
>>287659729I mean he said he'd repay Kuroki eventually but it seems he mellowed out
>>287659952That was back when his whole life was wrapped around being the Fang. He’s found purpose in Harley Davidson bikes and accessories since then so I guess he let it go
>>287659935Imagine losing to her...
>>287659935>ISSK webm3DPD, away!
>>287659935DamnMartial arts truly is something…for sure…yup yup
>>287659935>Early Kengan = "Violence is the answer.">Mid Kengan = "Violence is amazing.">Late Kengan = "Violence has no meaning and you're a pussy. Let's fight. Why? Because I said so. Holy shit, don't use a knife you fucktard! Don't you have any respect!? I'll kill you for that. What's a gun?"
>>287660045Strange that masochist didn't immediately fall for the Cop Shark after thisThis was probably the most orgasmic experience of her life, getting punctured and bitten by another woman acting like a wild animal all because you didn't go down after a punch
>>287659025>inaba's ass in the bottom left panelI guess at that point in the story Sandro hadn't lost all his zest yet
>>287658536They threw this battle royale to have as many fighters as possible jump Shen but they also keep constantly switching the rules to encourage infighting. It's all very messy and confused.
>>287661980Sandro?
>>287658228I guarantee Sandro didn't put this much thought into it. He just read the comments pointing out how weak Lolong came across as during his match with Ohma and decided he needed the damage control.
>>287642596 read >>287630648Holy lack of reading comprehension, no wonder you people stomach this trash

>>287659935Seeing females doing martial arts is do cringe man, knowing that the average 4chan neet would easily beat some undefeated woman fighter who trained for 15 years just on the basis of being a male
How come Daro is not eaten alive by anti-AI activists now that he openly shows that 90% of the manga is made with AI? Does he get a pass because he trains the model on his own stuff or it's just that nobody actually reads Omega outside of Keng/a/n and a bunch of redditors?
>>287667986Let's not get carried away. The average anon would get folded like an origami if they were to fight the top female fighter. Fuck, there are women in my gym that can squat 300 lbs, I'd bet my life most anons can't do 100 lbs.
>>287659935That ass is crazy.>>287667986Tell that to Lowtax or whoever it was who got folded after accepting a fight with a MMA chick based on that logic.You'd need to be an actual fighter or at least know how to throw a proper punch and keep a proper guard.And no, you don't.
>>287665190>No TechniqueHe turn into fucking Packman.
>>287668101Man's gotta eat.
>>287667986People love to gloss over "women" titles for their fights just as quickly like to dismiss "weight divisions" in their fights; it's explicitly because smaller fighters are weaker than heavier ones. They must divide the lighter fighters away from the heavier ones, otherwise the lighter ones are going to very, very, very badly injured.And anyone who's not a male heavyweight inherently finds that offensive and threatening and refuse to adress it.Same with women's divisions. It's true, and even women know it, but you cannot expect a "fair fight" between different divisions. It's outright dangerous.
>>287657781?Julius struggled against ToaOhma toyed with ToaJulius is making Gilbert struggle
>>287658711>He didn't read the dump in the /ghost/ threadStill "magenta"...
>>287668339People use ghost for anything other than gay erp?
>>287668339Link?>>287668355Yes
>>287668355Back during the hack there was a giant /ghost/ thread (which was originally a /dbs/ thread) which ended up as a waiting room for the website, and the hangout of people with regular threads. Never used it again after the fact.>>287668364Don't have it but assuming it's not deleted you could prob use the post number. It was in the middle of thousand of other posts though.
>>287668032I'm puzzled myself. Omega's the most low-hanging, free ammunition to use against the practice and it's a bit maddening to see nobody just grab it. Kengan shitposts have breached containment before, so I doubt it's THAT obscure, but the latter option you listed is my best guess. Maybe people just dropped it halfway and don't think about it.
>>287668032> it's just that nobody actually reads Omega outside of Keng/a/n and a bunch of redditors?It has to be this.
>>287668032>>287668445Nobody really cares about AI, it's all performative.
>>287658570More like:>Koga wakes up after being on the verge of death>finds out he and Kazzy were saved at the last second by Kengan Association members from being killed by the Worm spies at the tunnel>no Ohma
>>287659935>any woman practicing martial arts is now linked to sandroslopKill yourself.
>>287668307Anon you've been making the same post ranting about weight classes almost ten times now? Why are you so obsessed with "size matters"? Are you a male heavyweight fighter? What discipline do you fight in?
>>287668032Because he is completely honest about it's usage and why he is using it, and that he is the artist himself. It would be a different situation if it was Sandro proompting himself after firing Daro. Also, most readers outside of here don't care.
>>287670201nyo
>>287668032You'd find it very difficult to shape an argument around the fact you demand mangakas work harder
>>287668032Bitching online means nothing. Especially if you just ignore it.
