Chapter 46: Kazuo's Misgivings
>>287975498Where the fuck is the logic there Kazzy? If you suspect him of this, then why ththe fuck would you give him power in the Kengan association again?
>>287975603Going to be honest with you Kazzy, you should have done this the second you saw Ryuki.
>>287975635Togo's heavy industries...
>>287975534Elmo ass looking motherfucker
>>287975611>>287975623>26yo female arms dealerMaybe the dumbest character concept in Kengan, and that's saying something.
>>287975541ENTER ERNIE
>>287975582>Registered since three years agoWait, so that means Masaki existed since before Ashura right?
>>287975655I can't believe Sandro remembered where Nanshi didn't.
>>287975710>>287975736This fucking retardation, man it made me mad back then and it's making me seeth now.KAZZY WHY ARE YOU LETTING SOME RANDO POST MAN HANDLE THIS?
Chapter 47: One More Month
>>287975401>The monster>ResurrectedWhen did Julius die
>>287975769I know it's a bit retarded, but you'd better enjoy this rare moment of Xia Ji competence.
>>287975797It's not competence if it requires other characters to act pants on head retarded
>>287975782ANOTHER fight offscreened. Sandro has trooned out.
>>287975804Do nips really stare at niggers like this?>>287975815I don't think you know what that word means
>all these setups that go nowhereOh boy
>>287975804>mcdowels>not boss burgernihon has fallen...
>>287975710>Kazzy thinks he's in the midst of uncovering a conspiracy >sends crucial evidence via mailKathy you would be the journalist who got blown up inside a car for exposing the Panama papers
>>287975863HAHA HE'S SO FAT DID IT MAKE YOU RAUGH??
>>287975815Do you really need to see another Kokuro vs Koga match with Koga losing again?
>>287975498>But in return you'll tell me the whole truth!>>287975510Nah, anyways here's my fighter
>>287975439Yeah that New Generation sure left a mark in Omega lol
>>287975883It would be the perfect chance to contrast the street brawl and show us how Koga has grown, but darowitch clearly don't care about fights at this point.Surely it's all just to make sure the tournament comes faster and they will make sure those fights are good?
>>2879759006SCOOPSga...
>>287975456>No repercussions for his actions.This is boring.
>>287975761Who the fuck is this guy?
>>287975883Fuck yeah. Don't tell me that Koga has "grown so much", show me you fucking hack.
>>287975900God I wish Cosmo was strangling me instead
ENTER
>>287975940our "wife"
>>287975946Oh no, he's hot!Also I totally fucking forgot he was in the hospital
>>287975821>>287975834This scene inspired me to eat burgers everyday after working out
>>287975541>>287975681I wonder if kids posting here even know what Sesame Street was, anymore.
>>287975869Thats what happens when your top fighter jobs in r1.
>>287975973I don't know why but this page strikes me as pretty gay
>>287975921>Surely it's all just to make sure the tournament comes faster and they will make sure those fights are good?Well, at this stage it would've been a pretty reasonable expectation, but unfortunately we have the "foresight" telling us otherwise
DONETomorrow's dump better get its own thread.
>>287975546Putting aside clones being a retarded plotline, I guess this is a decently smooth way to make the connection between Ryuki and Ohma.
>>287975456>>287975449This is dumb. This guy just shouldn't be alive anymore after the stunt he pulled.
>>287976022TOMORROW
>>287975993If Kazzy is the Raging Rookie, what is Kezzos title?
>>287976004Guys, you can't just call every page where Koga and Ryuki interact gay!
>>287975567Do Japs really?
>>287975863HAHA HE'S SO FAT, DO YOU GET IT? HE'S SO FAT!!
>>287976004It's the fake glasses
>>287975498Ok, Kazzy. But what if he gets what he wants and refuses to tell you anything, what will you do?
>>287976114Lets be honest, hymen-eye would be too scared to actually oppose THE Raging Rookie
>>287976022>>287976056What happens tomorrow?
>>287975439He's got BOOKS? Surely they are just for show, meant to impress the ladies.
>>287975439That New Generation sure fizzled out quickly, huh? Only two characters, one got oneshotted and the "strongest" is a punching bag for KA vets.
>>287976182The beginning of a massive party...
>>287975470>Muteba having a wonderful timeWhen you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life
>>287975456THE Hassad scene and he doesn't appear in the flashback, that's just funny.
>>287976182The Happening
>>287976182"You" will "see"
>>287976182A party
>>287976182"That".
>>287976182We party
>>287976182"""""""""""
This shit better be the worst thing to ever happen in a manga. I've seen it "hyped" up since the start of Asura.
>>287975782This really should've been a fight we get to see.But also, we've seen Koga do nothing since he beat the bottom of the barrel.It's pretty clear that at this point "that" is on the move
>>287975834I'm sure it'sSUPER IMPORTANT to the storythat Koga enters this "Kengan versus Purgatory" tournament.Like, essential. To the story. Koga.
>>287976182
>>287976296I’ll leave it up to your interpretation.
>>287975957SIXCOOPS
>>287975973>Casually postponing it by a monthJose is the MVP btw for making this happen.
>>287975921Who?
>>287976022>You might have broken a taboo.Last time a taboo was broken it led us to schizo Kiryu.
>>287976182The manga known as Kengan "Omega" ends.
>>287976296It's probably not even the worst thing that happens in Omega.HOWEVER.There's no coming back from this.
>>287975534Fucking Muppet lookin ass>>287975541Fucking hell that face on that body. Dude looks like a roided out Ernie
>>287975694>Score, gonna expense all these hookers on the company card
So it's tomorrow, huh
>>287976543All I know is that it absolutely fucks the series but it's still decent for a little while longer. Now Ch 144, THAT'S when it became truly irredeemable
>>287975456I genuinely really don't like this plot point because it means that boring arc was actually meaningless in every sense of the word by maybe introducing those centipede tattoo guys. How is a terrorist whose face is known still having any leverage over the Kengan Association
>>287975957SIX SCOOPS COME ON
>>287975487Is chapter 50 really that bad?
>>287976798You'll see
>>287976296It's not, Omega managed to do worse shit somehow after it, but it is undoubtedly the watershed moment for the series
>>287976469The uuh... he had white hair I think?
I know we still have a couple of more chapters before THAT, but that's why I want to ask; Whats your opinion on Omega so far anons? Are you enjoying it more or less compared to Ashura?
>>287976950I like it a lot so far. It's been a much slower burn than Kengan, since IIRC we were already on the boat by this time in chapters, but I actually like Koga a lot. I've even come around to Ryuki infinitely quicker than I did Ohma. I don't mind the politics of the Kengan matches being dumb since they were already fucking stupid in Asura, but there really is no reason Hayami should still be alive after the coup.
>>287975541what was even the point of this guy
>>287976950I'm enjoying it differently. It's a very traditional fight manga with a few untraditional twists like Koga being kinda ass at the begginning
>>287976182sandrovich "scales the wall"
>>287976798Ohhhhh boy
>>287976296It's not the worst thing but it's a clear point where we start going downhill with broken brakes.
>>287977220I really liked his fight with Jurota
>>287975782>One more monthOne more day more like
>>287975761The guy from the "evil is on the move" page.Most likely one of the main antagonists of this sequel.
I miss Asura
>>287976950I appreciate it a lot more in retrospect (duh). I think I'm finally beginning to understand it, though. In Asura, Ohma was a fighting god. This created an audience of people who wanted to see the protagonist be awesome from day one, and Koga isn't that. I personally really like Koga and if "we" didn't have "foresight" I would assume he eventually becomes a really strong and cool fighter. That said, there are two problems.- I think they missed the "timing" on how weak Koga is. It's one month before the tournament (Kengan's biggest draw) and Koga is still losing to a mook that gets blown up by any random tournament fighter. Should he still be that weak? This is your manga's first tournament arc. 50 chapters of being shitty is quite a lot when it isn't being dumped 3 chapters a day. Obviously, we'll never know when the original intended payoff on his arc would be.- The second protagonist, Ryuki, is obviously meant to be the second half of the formula; the guy who's good at fighting. But he's a bit one-dimensional and his style isn't that interesting, either. Additionally, he doesn't get as much screen time as Koga, because he isn't really actively developing.Basically, I can see the flaws now. Some of them are self-inflicted, others are just the expectations of the audience. But yes, I'm still mad a decade later.
>>287975642>38 wins>2 losseshey, that's not bad
>>287975655B-bros... What is that bodytype called?
>>287976950It had a good start, but ran out of interest in building up the story and rushed to have another tournament.
>>287975439Reading is for bitches
>>287975957SIX SCOOPS KOGA IS HERE
>>287977473Sex on the water

>>287975676She's clearly derived from characters from Jormungandr or Black Lagoon.
>>287975676If it's so dumb why does she make my penis hard?
>>287975662>>287975678Damn, every flavor of bitch at once. Muteba knows how to live.
>>287977632Is this worth reading?
>>287975957SWOLEGA
>>287976182The "arrival" of "him".
>>287977679Ending is a bit ass but rest of the manga is Good. Anime ost is a banger too
>>287977679It is a tier below other 'gun porn' series of the era, I think. But it is still worth reading.
>>287975957I'm no bodybuilder expert, but that looks way more than just 6 kilos.
>>287975710>>287975736Kazzy, the Raging Retard
>>287976296>>287976182>>287976798Other anons already clarified, but yeah it's not the worst moment, but it's where it all went to a certain direction that the series never really recovered from.Basically, almost all problems with Omega today can be traced back to this one moment.
>>287975534>>287975541I TOLD THEM, I TOLD EVERYONE MEGURO DID NOT DIE! AND HE DIDN'T! HE'S RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US RIGHT NOW! HE JUST GOT HIS EYE FIXED AND A LITTLE BIT OF FACIAL SURGERY ON TOP OF THAT! BUT HE'S STILL THE SAME MEGURO I, WE KNOW AND LOVE!
>>287975957A growing boy.
>>287975433weird kazzy proportions
>>287976004Early Omega is just a good yaoi manga.
>>287977453Hong feels like a scrub killer fighter.
>>287976950Slowburn training arc manga are my favouriteIt's nice to see the MC constantly improve and it being a reason for the author to gush about MMA or martial arts knowledge. i read all rounder meguru recently and it made me appreicate early omega more. But i need to find more manga that hits that spot.>>287977452I feel like part of this problem was having KvP so early on, maybe if it was built up to more as something that would happen at chapter 100 or so, then Koga's growth rate would be more reasonable instead of getting subverted with the set up after chapter 50.Like have him enter a few more kengan matches
>>287975642>Not bringing in Hong despite him probably bettering himself since his Rei loss and not losing since and also being probably a KAT-1 fighter at leastCmon
>>287976182tomorrow a clearly foreshadowed and planned event since the ending of ashura happens and only brainlets didnt see it coming
>>287978126I'm sure every action, injury, plot point, character, tease, and motivation is verrrrrrrrrry important in this manga. Who could forget when
>>287978165Yeah I can also see into the future and know how every manga's going to end. Even the axed ones.
>>287978193>Got stopped in the middle of his tiradeDAMN THE WORM
>>287975973>Purgatory pushed the tournament back just because Monke broke his armMan, he must be like their top fighter to warrant this level of change.
>>287976182"THAT"...
>>287975761My responsible respectable reputable hero outplayed the stupid Kengan Associations bids to reveal secrets untold! Soon they will unwillingly spring traps they had no clue of!
>>287976182The amount of vague replies to this leads me to believe I am reading something akin to a Nascar race, but half the racers are travelling the track in the opposite direction, and the upcoming chapters are the point in which both sides meet the halfway mark. >>287977929How is ARM? I'm planning on reading that soon.
>>287975745Look at how tall he is! Tastefully towering over other agents with his height! Surely storing power that will be unleashed against aggressors of lesser magnitude than him.
>>287976182The "tragedy"...
>>287978327>How is ARM?Great. Really great. Such a good read. Now that's an example of "slice of life" done right, not the childish saccharine shit.
>>287976182The Gu ritual will reach its conclusion
>>287977599>So there's this guy.... he's called "Big Bird". Heard his pretty strong....
>>287977380im up to date with omega and i remember what happens to xia and eddie, but i cant remember hooded guy at all, did he had no impact or im losing my memory?
>>287976022>Tfw will not be here to witness "it"A shame, but "I" will be here. Please enjoy it on my behest "me".
>>287978488Unironically explained later on. Like much later on. Just keep him in mind when Wormshit happens.
>>287978492"We" will experience "it" on your behalf. The "contract" is sealed.
Raise a triumphant cry, you mighty champions.
>>287978479He won't see you until you filter through Kermit "Needle in the Hay" Frog. You won't find that rare win against him, though. No one has.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57ta7mkgrOU
>>287978553Shhhhhh "we" haven't gotten them to that level yet. They are too "green".
>>287978581There he is, the master of the Niko Style: Puppet.
>>287977929>Slowburn training arc manga are my favourite>It's nice to see the MC constantly improve and it being a reason for the author to gush about MMA or martial arts knowledge.>i read all rounder meguru recently and it made me appreicate early omega more. But i need to find more manga that hits that spot.You might like Baby Steps. I mean, it's tennis but it ticks all other boxes, and there's even a mini-arc where the MC goes to consult some MMA guys to expand his mindset.
Tomorrow
>>287978581Ah shit now that you posted kermit I forgot Miss Piggy is a Black Belt in Karate
>>287976182Oh anon.......>>287977929>But i need to find more manga that hits that spotHave you read Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru?
>>287978585They're in the midst of scaling that mountain.
>>287977599>>287978479>>287978581>>287978610>>287978639You motherfuckers are just... pawns! YOU'RE... you're PUPPETS!!!Jim Henson from "The Inside Sesame" is manipulating all of you!!
>>287976022HAHAHAHAHA
>>287978685Be careful, anon. You might've broken a taboo.
>>287976022Wait wait did they not show that the replacement happened by pickpocketing+ dropping the fake package where the courier would find it, not by rummaging in the truck
>>287975439Kokuro being the strongest and getting beaten wouldn't be an issue if they were meant to be rivals for Koga to defeat as he grows in strength
I cannot belive we are finally at this decisive point. I will be here tomorrow no matter what. I love you anons
>>287976182Nothing. We made it all up as a prank. It was all an elaborate scheme to trick new readers! It's actually totally fine, and nothing is wrong.... Look at the rabbits, anon.
>>287975546Now that I think about it, is he only recently attending university? You'd think someone would have figured out his existence a bit earlier, by a few months at least
>>287979087You mean everybody at University doesn't look like Ernie?
>>287975957This is my favorite chapter in Omega. Koga and Kokuro chilling and eating burgers, then Koga training to the point of vomiting to get swole.
>>287979087He's a legally documented child, his name is literally Masaki Hayami and he's been through the full school system. They should've known of this guy for decades if they seriously looked into Katsumasa, Akoya especially.
Toyoda and Toku^2 character profiles
>>287979283>his work is shit but he has a passionate fanbaseheh heh.......
>>287975676No? There are like 50 characters far more absurd and unrealistic than Togo.
>>287978687Mitcher...
>>287975420Would Kokuro still lose to Ryuki now that everyone knows he's a one-trick pony?
>>287979528Probably not, since Ryuki also knows about Stinger now.
>>287976022>>287976182Some of you guys are alright, dont come to the kengan thread tomorrow.
>>287977364it was pretty good, but he does some shit later that feels like it SHOULD have some huge ramifications and then it doesn't really, the bit of him being huisheng'd into becoming meguro also didn't really go anywhere unless i forgot
>>287975498are you going to give him truth serum or something kazzy?
>>287975541ENTER
>>287975456Reminder that he could've won if his men HAD JUST SMUGGLED A FUCKING GUN
>>287975727yeswe see a flashback of him sparring with meguro later
>>287975456Easily one of the most retarded things before "that chapter", and in hindsight, an indicator of Sandro's "writing ability".
>>287975635"The Seether" Togo Tomari
>>287980027
>>287980014Almost blew up every single world leader btw.
>>287975745that's a man who looks ready to party
>>287975940"Evil"
What did we learn so far, anon?
>>287975470>Seki and Haruo withdrew from the tourneyStill one of the dumber things to happen to create "tension" when setting up a Roster for KvP
>>287975821>called himself awesomeNo wonder Kokuro vanished for the next hundreds of chapters with that kind of self-hex.
>>287979654When did this happen in Omega?
>>287975456>Yeah I was planning to assassinate the world leaders but we cool nowThat's retarded. Anyone could shut his mouth up by revealing the record, unless Metsudo hid it for shit and giggle
>>287980300To be fair, the moment that they decided to let him live for that, they'd all have to answer questions like "Why did you let him live and keep influence in your organization to begin with?"
>>287976182The "world" will "change".
>>287917558I love pages like these, Kazzy is telling the ex kengan chairman he is an asshole to his face completely unfazed. He has come a long way.>>287938799And there is this page. WHY IS RYUKI A CANDIDATE. HE GOT FUCKING STOMPED, HE HAS TWO MOVES, DID NO DAMAGE TO AKOYA, FUCKING HIMURO COULD BEAT HIM.
>>287975489I like this Kazzy.
>>287980479I mean Koga still think he had a chance
>>287980439OH FU-
>>287975834This is what training with Seki gets you, a huge ass stomach.Its so common for retired fighters and physical active people to get fat after retirement.
>>287975834COME ON KOGA, EAT BIG TO GET BIG. FUCK.>>287975851WHY TRAIN WITH THE JOBBER.
>>287975891You think he ever saw Nozomi.
>>287975973Ryuki has gone soft on a way Ohma never did despite his upbringing being less harsh than Ryuki
>>287976182These posts? All "me". We are in perfect sync after all.
>>287976182A massive "party" will begin
>>287976182We're going to fucking kill you
>>287980289I think it was bonus sidestory stuff.
>>287976182We're going to "scale" the "razor".
>>287976182Tomorrow "we" will "count the chickens" for the "blessings" of "good fortune"
>>287975439>>287975456The guy who almost killed every major leader of the planet? Yeah we let him go, no biggie
>>287975498>went missingNigga what? Last I heard his body was in out in the street with his chopped head, blood and all. Nobody found him there?
>>287981056The centipede guy ate him to dispose of the evidence
>>287981056Maybe the Worm are good for something besides getting killed and have an actually competent clean-up crew. I wonder what the rates are...
>>287981013>>287980128i mean, he still hold one of most crucial part of Japan's economyHe's a Zaibatsu
>>287975973Cute couple on a date.
>>287976182The beginning of the end.
>>287976182Tomorrow "I" will "prepare" a "hearty chicken stew" for lunch and then "head to the office" in order to "prepare finances"
>>287975595>this name is so great>BOTH my sons shall have itWtf
>>287975439>>287975449So the fighter was Meguro?
With everyone speaking in quotation marks, I'm guessing this is some dumb shit like how Oda goes with 'that man" or "that place" like some autist.
>>287975534>>287975541Man Meguro looks even creepier without the psycho look
>>287975635Sex with woman in suits
>>287981373I see you have not "arrived" yet
>>287980845>his upbringing being less harsh than RyukiNot at all.
>>287975439Kazzy doesn't look impressed.
I'm already angry manat least there's CC tomorrow
>>287976182The true “tragedy”…
>>287976022Thanks OPAs a new reader I hope tomorrow is something no biggie
>>287975534>>287975541El Hermano?
>>287975642Oh yeah, that guy with the... natural pain inhibitor?
Who would win?
>>287981471Like multiple suits on one woman?
>>287981689does that get a thread when a new release happens?
>>287976022As a new reader who has managed to make it through the entire storytime without being spoiled, I want to take a shot at guessing what comes next. I'll mark it as a spoiler it in case some or all of it ends up being right. There's definitely going to be a really stupid plot twist based off the reactions. With the Meguro clone mentioned in >>287975534, it must be foreshadowing an Ohma clone, BUT it won't be Ryuki because that would be too obvious. Kazzy, who will see Ohma and think that he somehow survived the KAT, will be the first to encounter him and try to recruit him for the tournament. Ohma then responds by sticking out his tongue and saying that he's got it all wrong while turning him down (because this phrase seems to be the greatest Kengan trigger while the upcoming chapter seems to be the catalyst to all the horrors that await). It will actually be a second evil Ohma who will also plan on entering Purgatory against the Kengan association. He'll kill either Koga or Ryuki upon his reveal and the other will dedicate himself to avenging his friend at the tournament.
>>287975957I don't think that's only six kilos.
>>287975761This was literally something Sandro came up with to create a cliffhanger. It's never been followed-up in 6 years. >>287975834Another forgotten sub-plot. Of all the characters that got screwed by Sandro's ad hoc, careless storytelling in Omega, Kokuro was the one that hurt me the most. He was my favorite supporting character.
>>287982038Convict Colosseum chapters don't get threads but we usually discuss them in Kengan threads anyway.
>all those replies to anon asking what will happen tomorrowI'm scared.
>>287982147Do not worry..."That" will be over with before you know it...
>>287976182Look, tomorrow's thread is going to cover chapters 48, 49 and 50.I beg you: For your own sanity, leave tomorrow's daily thread as soon as chapter 49 is finished dumping. Then add the Kengan Omega daily storytime to your filters so you never see any of these threads ever again. Hell, add all of Kengan Omega to your filters. Just pretend the manga ended with chapter 49. Ignorance is bliss, trust me on this.
Hassad soon.
>>287976296There is no other parallel in Omega. It's a moment that not only ruins Omega, but also retroactively shits on the ending of Asura and shits on one of its central themes and sources of genuine poignancy and drama. For years, people praised Asura for its adherence to a specific theme that the upcoming moment is going to completely ruin.
>>287982161Rate it on a scale of 1-10 of Azami's entrance, with Azami being 5.
>>287976950It's still fantastic, even though re-reading it now makes me far more NOOOOOTICING of all the annoying little Sandroisms (just like how I NOOOTICED these Sandroisms in Asura as well when I joined the storytime dumps for that manga). Why is it still good despite having these annoying elements? Because of its focus on character development. It is (or, rather, was), as I've said many times, a good sports underdog story. So no matter how many annoying mystery boxes or 5D chess worm shenanigans Sandro tried to shove in early Omega, it didn't matter, because there was still at Omega's heart the story of Koga as the underdog.
>>287982192Even worse than every other cashgrab sequel that shits on the legacy of the original? I am genuinely curious. The really bad ones have the fans that pretend they don't exist at all no matter what stupid retcons they throw in the sequel.
>>287982045You’ve got it all wrong.
>>287981926I love how smug Ojisan looks when he poses.
>>287976182the fallen leaves tell a story
>>287982225Don't know who this Azami is and what manga the character is from, so I can't really make a comparison. But I basically explain why what happens in chapter 50 is such a monumentally horrendous moment right above your post here >>287982192.It's also shit and damaging in ways that I don't want to spoil for the people here who DO want to proceed with reading the chapter and sticking with the story. >>287982265>Even worse than every other cashgrab sequel that shits on the legacy of the originalI haven't read/watched/played every other cashgrab sequel that shits on the legacy of the original, and (with all due respect) nor have you or anyone else here, so performing this thought exercise of ranking the different shitters is just splitting hairs. I'll just say that this specific moment is so bad on its own that no matter what destructive example from other franchises you compare it to, it's still absolutely awful. If you're still curious, wait until tomorrow and I'll be providing more detailed explanations on how that moment ruins so many different things. Or someone else will probably do it. Because tomorrow is going to be spent reliving a great trauma, and as with any moments that trigger traumatic memories, it's gonna lead people to want to vent.
>>287982045
>>287982081It'll serve as a great palate cleanser
>>287978165Foreshadowed and planned but poorly executed along with everything else going to shit.
>>287982045This is legitimately more sensible than what actually happens.
>>287976182>What happens tomorrow?Sandro forgot to take his meds.
>>287979283>He is probably skilled enough to beat the lower-ranking fighters in the Kengan Matches.But could Koga take him?
>>287982510Pretty much all the hypothetical cope scenarios people over the years tried to think up as an alternative chapter 50 was pretty much better than what actually happened.Here's my post from 2022 where I tried to write one such cope hypothetical scenario. I'm pretty sure I had written something similar earlier, but I couldn't find any earlier examples.https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/243199438/#q243204179
>>287981373That's not an Oda exclusive thing.The better comparison would be Araki though.
>>287982045I'm laughing at the power of Omegasmosis.
>>287982563Oh right, people really did theorize that Ryuki was Kiryu lol. Despite how farfetched it was, it went awhile before getting debunked in story
>>287982225At least a 7, maybe an 8.
>>287982640I was willing to believe, it was just stupid enough to work, especially with their height being the same
>>287982563>Here is where we learn that Xia Ji is actually insanely strong but is lazy and never capitalizes on his potential. It establishes him as a foil to Koga so that later on when he fights Koga it feels nice and rewarding.LMAO
My kengan kill phrase is "You got it all wrong."
>>287982702>see it out in the wild somewhere, in another series or a game>one side of my mouth quirks up at the corner>struggle to suppress both the urge to laugh and the thought of how fucking insane kengan has made meim the joker
>>287982667Foils are good. Just like how Fei could have survived to narratively serve as a foil to Ohma. Ohma could have been a Fei with one wrong turn in life. Likewise, Fei could have been an Ohma with one right turn in life.>>287982640Yep. They even have the exact same height, if you recall. What I was thinking was that after the events of Asura, Kiryu's mental state continued to deteriorate. His obsession with Ohma, along with this mental state, led him to undergo plastic surgery to look as identical to Ohma as possible. He also combined his insanity with his gifted talents in martial arts to basically create a combat style that resembled the Niko style. Of course, his mind was in tatters, so even though Kiryu already fought Ohma, he couldn't 100 percent re-create the Niko style with 100 percent accuracy. His brain was so fried that he made up the story of him being the heir to Gaoh Mukaku's legacy.
>>287982776I've also been losing it slowly at YAAAY or seeing similar shaped objects to that face.
>>287982777I'm not laughing at your choice. Cause it's something I agree with. It's just that Sandro went with that approach and absolutely ruined it.
>>287976798I'll say the chapters heading up to that moment are actually pretty good and intense. A very hopeless situation that makes you wonder what'll happen next since the series so far has been decent
Masaki is such a goofy looking motherfucker

Ya know, considering recent development, we now going to have another THAT chapter during KvP
Topkek I couldn't wait so I read ahead. What the fuck is this shit no wonder people were getting mindbroken. Imagine throwing away what made the ending of Asura so poignant.
>>287982045hm hm hmLet's see how your theory goes TOMORROW
>>287981705lol it's just a meme the anons in the main weekly omega chapters cooked. nothing is gonna happen tomorrow other than Koga fighting some street jobbers
>>287982045>Ohma then responds by sticking out his tongue and saying that he's got it all wrongThis is so funny that it's a shame it has to be under a spoiler.
>>287983655There's just too many "That" chapters lmao
>>287975782KOGA the GAWDLIKE
>>287975957I want to protect that smile
>>287982942He looks like a mormon
>>287976182Absolute death of everything
>>287983682>Imagine throwing away what made the ending of Asura so poignant.It's what I always try to remind retards who attempt to argue that this moment isn't the worst moment in the franchise. See, there's a certain fight that happens way later in the manga (close to 100 chapters later) that some people say is the actual worst moment in the manga. And I'm like, no matter how bad you think the fight is, it's one very bad fight among many very bad fights. Meanwhile, the upcoming chapter 50 moment is just so much more of a monumental fuck-up in storytelling that not only negatively affects Omega but also retroactively affects Asura in the worst way possible. Like I said to a different anon here, one of the things people could unanimously praise about Asura was that the consequences of the protagonist's recklessness on his own body resulted in his death. It wasn't like generic shonen battle manga where the MC could do something reckless to his body and suffer zero consequences. Ohma meanwhile suffered the consequences of his decisions. And Omega undid that. Nowadays, in current Omega, a character can pop a Removal or Advance with zero consequences ever being discussed. It's like going super saiyan in Draogn Ball. There's just so much more that's wrong with this moment. I just want to save my energy for tomorrow.
Hey, so I have been following the dailies and noticed that the art is degrading quite a bit quickly, checked the last chapter dump today aswell and it's even worse, did they change artist or anything? Ashura had such godly pannels and I haven't seen any of them in Omega desu, does it get better at least in this kengan vs purgatory battle?
>>287984905
>>287984937ok that explains a lot, thanks
Here comes "Chapter 50", like I care!
>>287984905>Hey, so I have been following the dailies and noticed that the art is degrading quite a bit quickly, checked the last chapter dump today aswell and it's even worse,You actually think the current chapters have gotten bad in their art? What exactly is bad about them? Like specific examples?I can understand the latest 100+ chapters being shit since Daro admitted to basically giving up and relying on AI.But his enthusiasm and effort was still intact in these earlier chapters.
>>287984975But there was a second Chapter 50.
>>287984905Daro peaked in late Ashura and it was downhill from there, but the exact speed varied. It's never quite that good again, but it doesn't get aggressively bad for a while, and once in a while you do get a good fight, until we go into freefall at a certain turning point(not the chapter 50 everyone is looking forward to) and you get to see shit degrade week by week in real time as more and more becomes fully AI generated.This >>287984937 is from a couple arcs ago, where we are now it wasn't quite active spite/quiet quitting yet.
>>287976612>hookersMuteba has never paid a single cent for pussy in his life.

>>287984937i once asked him what was his favorite muscle to draw, its the brachialradialis musclealso he once said that he got tired of Omega the same way you get tired of eating pizza every day, poor guy
>>287985091As people here have speculated, it's a mixture of Sandro having no sense of commitment, him being scatterbrained, and also being negatively affected by widespread complaints from retards bitching about the slow burn pacing and focus on characters (because they wanted another KAT, even though Sandro was going to get there anyway due to the KVP tournament at the time being one month away in universe).But at the end of the day, as I've noted before, Sandwich makes the final call, so even if tons of retards wanted KAT 2.0, it was on him to ignore the demands if they didn't fit with his vision. If it's true that he capitulated to fans, then he's just spineless and pathetic.

>>287984815Chapter 50 IS the worst moment in the series hands down BUT Kengan could and for a little bit did recover and correct course even if there's a permanent bad taste from then on Ch 144 completely ruins things in a way that's unrecoverable, they got rid of an insanely important and entertaining character to prop up a dogshit one and all of his replacements have been severely lacking, just look at the most recent chapter and how nobody both in and out of Universe treats the new replacement seriously
>>287976182The funny thing is, if you go back in the archives, a lot of people were actually quite hype over chapter 50. Obviously, the response was mixed, but since "we" hadn't seen the "depths" to which the manga would fall, it wasn't a universally reviled moment like it is now. People still enjoyed Omega for quite some time after this chapter, even though it was becoming apparent the quality was declining. I'm very curious to see how the new readers react--I'm going to guess it's going to be a lot worse than when the chapter first dropped, since they've been conditioned to recognize it as the moment the manga goes to shit.

>>287975439>Strongest of the New GenerationsWrong, bitch. That's MASAKI now.
>>287985055>You actually think the current chapters have gotten bad in their art?>What exactly is bad about them? Like specific examples?not that anon but in terms of artstyle there's basically no grit to it anymore (tho to be fair asura did gradually lose more and more of it as it went on) and a lot of the impact and motion of panels feels relatively weaker compared to the average asura fight because of overuse of digital effects, rather than the linework (which i also feel it has downgraded, featuring much less line variation) standing on its own its smeared with blurs and blooms and screentones in a way that looks rather sloppy, there's also a pretty noticeable change in terms of proportions/shape language, although again it was happening towards the end of asura too, but faces are a lot more squished down and "moe" and the ugly/awkward features that would've been emphasized before like big brow lines or prominent noses are fairly downplayed, everything is much more "anime" i dont think its awful by any means yet, but art wise it feels like the artist isnt challenging himself or fully committing to something wacky like he used to
>>287985055Not him, but I've noticed that Omega has been occasionally skipping over fights that we should have gotten to see. For example, >>287975782 would have been a good opportunity to showcase Koga's growth. A big red flag was Rihito's comeback fight, like in >>287956670 where as other anons have pointed out, that leg transition makes little sense as it passes through Rihito's arm that was locked around Mokichi's waist and grabbing onto his back. The choreography in that fight in general felt kinda off, but without the foresight of other anons zeroing in on those details, I wouldn't have thought too deeply myself on those mistakes.
seeing the characters saying the kvp got postponed for another month and going Koga hope knowing full well what happens after, Sandro loves seeing us suffer
>>287989574>but somehow retarded enough to do it all on cameraNot really. It's just as strange for someone to go through the security cameras for no good reason as it is for someone to find out about the dna test.
>>287989898I'm sure I could just send a piece of hair to some place and that place would tell me, "yup it's confirmed, this DNA matches our files of ____ ______ we promise we know we're right we're never wrong yup. Thank you for paying us $14k."

Soon ''we'' will ''arrive''
KvP is at least pretty funny but everything after that is pure noise
>>287992803Personally "I" am looking forward to the real champions tournament. It's quite possibly the weakest part of all of Kengan. It's not as offensive as some other bits but it's pure dreck all the way through with little to provoke in terms of emotion.
NONONOI DON'T WANT TO SCALE THE WALL
>>287975841He's not black, they're in awe of him scarfing down 10 hamburgers
>>287992803The art and coreography had already deteriorated a lot by then but the Berserker Bowl was still alright in a vacuum. In alternate timeline where Sandro hadn't ruined the story irreparably and daro hadn't already checked out it would have been great.
>>287992803I think KvP is actually worse than the Berserker Bowl just because of how bad the majority of the Purgatory cast isYou introduce thirteen new fighters and the only ones who are even mildly interesting are Liu and the Falcon, and the latter is debatable

>>287994806I swear to god, Pinakanaka had to do it intentionally. He saw we were approaching the breaking point, and thus decided to release it all today to lift us from this "hell". What a fight indeed. I went into this expecting Pete to win, but to die afterwards. Not sure if he will bite the dust in the end, but this ending sequence was way absolutely brilliant. There will be an epilogue, but honestly I'd prefer if the series just ended here.
Ok fine I'll read your silly webcomic drawn with sharpies. Can't be any worse than what I'll read tomorrow anyway
>>287994978You really have to feel bad for El Cucaracho, he wanted one thing and couldn't get it.
Well, that was pretty good, both opponents pulled every stop in that fight.
>>287975391lewl
>>287995197 At the same time, he did finally get properly put to sleep, so there's something. I'm also fairly sure he gets Kuroki'd in the future, so his wishes do come true one day.
>>287994502Didn't expect Pete's rib injuries to matter after the extra time he had to rest desu
>>287994502>mfw pete started using tricks he picked up from Scourge and Florida Man>mfw pete threw the hat>mfw the falcon knee of justice>mfw the final clash came down to the fundamental reach difference of arms vs legsi genuinely teared up a bit, how was it this good?

>>287994502I was hoping that Pete would lose
>>287995197I feel like he'll be a little bit better after this, not fixed or anything, but on a potential road to redemption. Sort of like fatty mc fatty wrestler, lol.
>>287995969I have to wonder about that one moment where cucaroacho grabbed a handful of sand and then let it go.Meanwhile Pete had to pull out every "dirty" and crafty trick up his cowboy hat.
>>287996026>tfw you want to lose but consider the idea of using a "trick"

>>287975694someone please remind me, didn't he get those eye implants? he should have sight by now right?
CC panel spoilerHe is so fucking cool
>>287994502I was really rooting for EC but I knew there was no way he'd win but I had a faint hope. I expect that at least he has a good epilogue.
I think the problem with CC is that the fights are so far removed from real-life martial arts that it's hard to really feel invested in them. It just feels like those stickman fight animations. The characters just beat on each other with over-the-top bullshit movements, until one of them croaks because the author said so. The final fight is way too long and boring. When every strike is just a blurry "WHACK" I can't really know what would be a knockout blow and what wouldn't.
>>287994502What's this?
>>287998103Ironically, that's one of the reasons I enjoyed it. After the different bullshido techniques in Kengan, it's been pretty refreshing to just see fights boil down to "hit the other guy until he dies". Not to say CC doesn't have some bullshido, but it's way more grounded then other series. But yeah, the final fight could have been cut down a bit, and giving Roach any sort of durability measure would have been welcome, since he does feel like a walking sponge until he isn't. Still a great finale though.
>>287998103keep in mind Cucaracha is 6'7 300+ lbs and Pete's even taller at 6'9 but 220~Not only is this finals but its a borderline clash of the giants like these two that had that exact same type of match, plus the residual damage was more apparent with the broken arm/leg
>>287998435Wow never realized those two were this huge. Also Julius/Wakek was such a shit fight.>>287998413What's frustrating is that the strikes are just nameless blurry attacks, and all the damage doesn't prevent them from moving like they want. Getting their ribs cracked doesn't make their punches weaker, getting their legs mined with kicks doesn't slow them down, it really feels like HP bars.
>>287998413Honestly the only character from Kengan I can see beating Pete, EC, Violence and some others is Shen and it would be very hard for him.This makes me want to make my own comic, too bad my autism would make me roll dice or find another way to solve fights so there's no "main characters" because Tenkaichi made me so mad.

I can't post the link because the name of it is a spoiler, but I found another post of reddit-omega-readers not being happy with the writing >Not only do i one thousand percent agree but allow me to add that in the end, all of these pointless debates about the chapter is the inability for fans to simply accept that Sandwich has fucked the writing. Plain and simple, no beating around the bush. The man for whatever reason either he doesn't care, has a tight schedule, is blindsided into believing this is what fans want, I don't know the cause but the pattern has repeated too often for me to believe this is going to change any time soon.
>>287996833 While most people were indeed mindlessly fellating Sandwich for bringing Ohma back (and I'm sure they regret doing so today, and were probably already regretting it by the next few chapters that signalled Koga was no longer the protagonist), there were still enough people like me who were critical of this event happening.
>>287996698monkey wise
>>288003159I wasn't able to find my critical post about it, might've been a different thread or just not very memorable.I was still hopeful that surely Sandwich knows what he's doing.
>>287996932They're still here. Most of them thankfully realized the errors of their ways, but some of them (whether sincerely or are just mad shitposters) try to do damage control. And it's hilarious to see.>>287996944>You don't notice on a first read but you can tell early omega had a lot of sandroism, Not just early Omega, but also Asura too. And all of his other manga since then.
>>287996751How do you not see why this is terrible? It invalidates the ending of Asura. And one of its best themes too. You know how Ohma spent literally THE ENTIRE manga being tortured by the decision of whether or not to use the Advance to...advance....his goals at the cost of his body being ruined? That's something he wrestled with for the ENTIRE manga. A lot of the pathos in Asura with regards to Ohma was from that. Plus it was also neat to see a subversion of a trope on this matter. Finally we got a shonen protagonist with a bullshit power up that has GENUINE consequences. And this chapter ruins all of that. Not to mention it ruins all stakes. People can pretend like Hanafusa helping to fix Mokichi's broken neck is the same thing all they want, but it's not the same thing at all. One is bringing back to life a minor side character whose life or death would have had zero consequences in the story at all, while another is bringing back the main character of the previous manga whose revival has had devastating consequences for stakes and the plot.
>>287997019The problem with the "foreshadowing" is that it was a vague get-out-of-jail-free card that the author cynically abused. Some people PRIOR to this chapter had wondered what that Hanafusa scene at the end of Asura meant. After all, the scene was extremely vague and really could have been explained later on in the manga as being just about a lot of different things, not just Ohma's revival. The fact that it was used as the author making it seem like he had always planned it all along is bullshit. You could say the same about any other "clue" prior to chapter 50, like Fusui being vague and reluctant about telling Kazzy where Raian is and pretending not to know. This could have easily been also used to explain an alternate scenario where Fusui was told not to tell Kazzy that Raian was secretly monitoring him to save him in case he got attacked by Worms.

>>288003298>I was still hopeful that surely Sandwich knows what he's doing.The thing is, that moment was basically an alarm bell. What that moment basically signaled was that nothing was taboo or off limits to him as a writer. That the author would do anything to either be a crowdpleaser or to rouse his readers. It was a warning sign that everything was going to be downhill from that moment onwards.
>"we" are posting between "the gaps" of "bump limit"Unfathomable
>>288003490Yeah, I know.There's a few things he could've done with this that end up not being disastrous (But would've probably reduced this moment to a cheap hype tool) like him being an actual clone.But still, even if it was exactly what it was, he had built up enough good will to be allowed that much. Surely he'd realize this was a misstep and not repeat it.Basically just copium, of course, since like I said, I saw the signs right there.
>>288003412The "Worm" were genocided in my current favorite manga series. I hope for any anon that if the Worm shows up in a series you like they do what they do best.Die.
>>287995811This page created the "multi joint theory" at the time
>>288003412Huh? Is this how I find out there's a Ribbon Warrior adaptation? Did they finally finish Das Finale?
>>287995936>Do Worms kills other Worms?
>>288000645 initially I wanted to make it a death tournament with some light magic shit because of Tenkaichi but now I don't want to make it to death because characters people like can survive and keep interacting later. I just need to be satisfied with my own draftsmanship first.

>>287997365> is touted asTouted by who? Eddiefags? LMAO!You Chapter 144 devotees are a hilarious lot. Let's put aside how Chapter 50 already is a billion times more destructive than just an incredibly disappointing conclusion to a highly anticipated boss fight (which is what Chapter 144 was). Even if you hypothetically were one of those people who still had hope the series would get back on track after Chapter 50, there were so many moments between Chapter 51 and Chapter 144 that were just so shit that should have killed any goodwill you had for this manga. Let's go in reverse chronological order:. The fact that over TWO FUCKING YEARS of ridiculous hype buildup for Lolong and he got unceremoniously beaten in the most pathetic way possible. . Related to point number one is how pathetic two years of Purgatory fighters ended up being, with only two real meaningful victories (Falcon and Liu), with the other """victories""" being technicalities (Medel) or disqualifications (Alan's ""victory"" or Naidan's ""victory"").. The fact that another boss battle who arguably was even more important as a boss battle, namely, Fei (the hooded guy in the center of the "Evil is On the Move" final page of Asura) didn't end up being an important fight and died in the most pathetic way possible.. Terashi being a joke fight and a character rewritten on the spot. . Nicolas-Akoya being sacrificed at the Lolong altar.. Alan being turned into a shock value moment.. Everything about Yumi.. Koga being completely sidelined as a character, something he has not recovered from to this day even with Sandro's feeble and failed attempts at making him cool.Face it: Chapter 144 devotees are just retarded Eddiefags. They didn't care about anything else. Hell, they'd probably even make excuses for everything else before and after chapter 144 had Eddie actually won.

>>287987217>I'm very curious to see how the new readers react--I'm going to guess it's going to be a lot worse than when the chapter first dropped, since they've been conditioned to recognize it as the moment the manga goes to shit.>conditioned>conditionedIt's not the fault of me (or others like me) for spending years shitting on that moment. New readers are perfectly free to have and voice whatever opinion they want about it. The ball is entirely on their court. If they genuinely don't agree with people like me in a "wait a second, this is actually good/better than you say/not as bad as you say it is" type of a deal, then it's on them to voice their opinions (retarded as those opinions may be in my eyes). In fact, if that moment actually is not as bad as I have said it is, then I should expect to see tons of the usual contrarianism for contrarianism's sake type of posts very eager to tell people like me how they've got it all wrong (heh). You know...the kind of retorts that are common in an anonymous Laotian basket-weaving forum like this? Especially for opposite scenarios involving beloved classics in manga/anime/games/TV/movies where there's always going to be people ready to say those classics are overrated and that I am retarded for liking those classics.
>>287999605>>288000078I would like a storytime since I never read it, but it's clear no one here wants it...
>>288005011CC is very hard to storytime since most of the chapters are just single panels.
>>288005011I might want it. Kengan is the only daily I'm following right now and it might be interesting.>>288005021If the dumper takes the time to stitch several pages together, I can imagine that saving on the image limit. I've seen some daily posters go that far in making the dump presentable.

>>288005011There's only like 8 people in /a/ interest in r*ddit colosseum and they're only bumping each other up with replies.
>>288005467This, even as a fan I can admit that and I've been saying that dumping is a bad idea. It's not even a manga let alone a Japanese webcomic.
>>287976296Are you still here? What do you think?
>>288005545If that's the case why do "you" keep bringing "it" up? Making "outsiders" curious for no reason just to never dump "it" because "reason"
>>288005697"I" don't bring "it" up until someone else does. Anyone who is reading "it" right now didn't need a "dump" to start and to "enjoy" "it."
>>288005545Dump it on /co/, doubt anyone would object
Fucking hell I thought anon forgot to dump chapter 50 because I couldn't find it in the catalog, but no it just hit the bump limit that fast
>>288006064The thread was too popular, that's why it fell off.
>>288006140It scaled the wall that is page 10 and never came back.
>>288004905Based. Let them "arrive" at their own pace. If they enjoy it, good on them for finding a fun manga. If they "scale the wall", they'll finally understand "us".There are no bad outcomes as long as you don't make the mistake of Kaneda and every other Kenganvenger by arbitrarily decreeing people are evil for not submitting utterly in mind and body to your faction.
>>288006140It was awesome
>>288006185Definitely one of the top 5 threads I've ever seen.
>I "arrived" late>caught up on the last threadkek. what's even left to say. There'll be some good moments here and there, the coming tournament isn't without some good fights and moments. But the ending of chp 50 are a generational series of pages that killed the series' integrity. Sandro has no self-respect as a writer, and I truly believe this is what turned Daro into a passionless fuck who feels zero shame using AI in his art: not even to fill in a complex repeating pattern in a massive background or something questionable, but in every element of modern Omega that he can get away with. That conversation won't need to be had for a while yet, enjoy
>>288006235Could the thread have beaten Julius?

>>288006361It's also just the way SandroBITCH constantly rejects any good idea that Daro has. Think of all the drafts we've seen from Daro that were outright better than whatever lazy shit Sandwich came up with. I'd be demoralized too if I worked for a retarded, pretentious boss like him.
>Watch Strickland vs Chimaev in the UFC>First round is a strong opening for Chimaev, straight for the takedown>Then something funny happens in the second round: He just starts stuffing every takedown and throwing regularly, and Chimaev just...doesn't reply nearly as hard, for no discernible reason>In the third round Chimaev continues to get cucked out of takedown attempts and has to fight on his feet>And in the fourth round he's beginning to find his pace, gives Strickland a bloody nose but only tries ONE takedown right at the end>Notice both men are giving each other high-fives, big grins and other compliment hexes despite Chimaev trying to kick Strickland in the press buildup to the fight>And by the fifth round, Strickland is literally just going limp and rolling out of the takedowns>Suddenly realise what kind of fight I just watched>A striker vs a grapplerI hate the Sandro Style.
>>288006777Ah yes. The RCT. That's 25 chapters well spent. With 4 (count it: FOUR) breaks in between!
>>288007026 4 breaks was insane considering one fight was just one guy slamming his face into a dudes straight punch until he finally won, one was another dude getting punched in the face until he lost, Agito raping Julius and FishFace getting low-diffed by Lolong. What were those breaks possibly for?
>>288007112>What were those breaks possibly for?It's the clear sign of someone whose heart isn't in it anymore. It's like a wagie who clocks in at 9 and immediately clocks out at 5, and is always looking at his calendar for holidays and counting how many days off he can take. Someone who actually is enthusiastic about this isn't going to try to take as many breaks as possible.
>>288005467Sounds like double the amount of people in a normal /a/ thread these days.
>>288004749check the catalog in a few hours
>>287996833Yep, when the chapter released there were some people actually excited I know I was one of them.But I also remember even during the dumps/followup discussion threads some people were shitting on it. They got denounced as negative nancies, but man they were right all along.
