>>287995731Thank you translators, not stilted at all.
>>287995664>
>>287995780Oh no no no no here it comes
>>287995811He looks so menacing here
>>287995834My hero steps in.
Chapter 49: Vs. Worm
>>287995811>>287995820>>287995801Man, he used to be so cool, I wish Sandro treated his villains even a third as well as Gege Akutami does
>>287995860Is this the first time we get his name box?
>>287995873Those are some shoddy stairs if they broke from Koga kicking a twink at them.
>>287995891>twink>these shoulders
''I'm'' here, now the party can start
>>287995910That reminds me, who exactly was the other guy that he killed? I feel like a Kengan worker probably wouldn't be ready to kill people with a wire.Was he also a Worm? Do Worms kills other Worms?
>>287995929>knife shhhhyeaaaa
>>287995988He's grown so much in these last few months...
>>287995729>collected all the data they need Yeah because nothing says “we’re a secret underground cabal” like loudly narrating your evil data harvesting plan every other chapter.At this point the Worm has more market research than Kengan Association and still can’t stop getting mogged by random gymbros. Maybe collect some actual fighters next time.
>>287995921>he was pretty strongNo need to hex him, he's already dead.
>>287996020>He's the Omega Fist Eye
>>287995834>No shoes in the dojo white boy
>>287995673>>287995687Shen says the brain thing hit a brick wall so they gave up but Kenzo makes it sound like things were going fine but the worm dropped out so suddenly that his only guess as to why is that they somehow got what they wanted already. I feel like they would achieve their goals easier if they just relaxed for a while instead of suiciding in fights and their plans
EXTRA: One Winter Afternoon
>>287995929SSHHHHYYYEEEEAAAA
>>287996053blueballing us, how could you
>>287995687Where there is "Omega" there is the "worm"
>>287996073>He might've been stronger than the strongest of the New Generation.That's really stupid just to... prop? Himuro up.Or make him look worse?
>>287995811Fucktoy has "arrived"
Chapter 50: The Witching HourThis is the point of no return. You have been warned. You can only blame yourself for anything you may read from now on.
>>287995780Wholesome :)
>>287996098Somehow still skirting around the fact that Ohma is dead.Also>Kaneda and Rin gag
>>287996127I'm having trouble imagining how this manga can suddenly go completely bad in only one chapter.The anticipation is killing me.
>>287995834OUR HERO!
>>287996151My hero...
>>287996127>The Witching Hourominous
>>287996127I hope "we" are all "prepared"
>>287996140Koga would be dead by now if he didn't do all that training, damn
>>287995873Koga is SMART!
>>287996127>Game note: Do not do this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb0LAtNrJeA
>>287995890>crowdedGood thinking Kazzy, surely the worm has trouble with populated places
>>287996098If Karla didn't pan out, Kaede was probably going to be the love interest.
>>287996127Ladies and gentlemen, it’s been an honour.
>>287996219Why do you need permission, something to do with picking up Ryuki?
>>287996248Surely Koga won't die after all this.
>>287996248I can't believe this will be there last interaction.RIP
>>287996258Koga is so strong now!
>>287996276>2v1Aieee, GPU-sama don't look!
>>287995664>>>>>
>>287996073I wouldnt expect anything less from THE Himuro Ryo
>>287996248Oh, so we're going fromONE protagonisttoZERO protagonists.Great, Sandro.
>>287996315Don't forget Ryuki, about to be recruited by a trustworthy police officer.
>>287996315The “deal” has been “altered”.
>>287995961>SSSHHHHYEEAAAA with a knife>he actually won the exchangeKONO POWA
>>287996342Press F
>>287996328There's a lot to be said about the writing here, but I love a good hopeless situation.However
>>287996296he is the protagonist after all
>>287996127We are crossing the "limiting line"
>>287996357At least they were competent enough to make sure they actually get Kazzy, even if with sheer numbers.
>>287996342Real bold of them to kill off their protagonist this quick
>>287996316An honestly wonderfully grim situation, but…
>>287996219NO KOGA, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE KNIFE DEBUFF!
>>287996406WHO COULD IT BE

>>287996328Koga about to unlock his personal "advance" to wipe the floor with these chumps!
The worst part is, this is a very very good chapter until "that" happened
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469"HE" HAS "ARRIVED"
>>287996469AHAHAHAHAHA
>>287996469The emotionnal impact of Asura's ending on re-reads?GONE

>>287996469he said ithe said the thing[read in as monotonous a voice you can manage][read as in read, not read]
>>287996469Why is he asking them? What if they say no?

>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469YUP YUP YUPI FUCKING LOVE THE NIKO STYLE
>>287996469our "hero" has "returned"
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469In fucking color too. There's no other pages in the series that are in color, right?
>>287996469FUCK YOU!!! THIS IS BULLSHT!!!W-Were we just...!!!! FUCK! FUUUUUUCK!!!!We-!? What the hell did I...!!?AAAAAUGH!!!NIKO!!! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!YOU FUCKED ME OVER!!!FUCK YOOOOUUU!!!!
>>287996444THE CULO THAT DOOMED A MANGA
>>287996582Literally the start of Omega
>>287996482>Koga about to use "advance"YOU CANNOT DO THAT, ANON!"ADVANCE" is explicitly lethal! It's deadly! Even the author has DETAILED WRITTEN that you CANNOT SURVIVE USIN-...... >>287996469oh nvm
>>287996601I can see a pattern here
>>287996469I don't know why you guys are so surprised.The narrator said that Ohma was just sleeping.
>>287996469The "grill" has been "lit"Those still "green" can still hope
>>287996444>With this character’s return, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world that has been created
>>287996482Who?
>>287996623>Ohma was just a little 'eeppy :)>>287996636
>>287996623I will stab you
>>287996469>Somehow, Ohma returned
>>287996451>I’ll explain later.I AM GOING INSANE
>>287995997Imagine Kazzy used his super eyes to train during the timeskip allowong him to take low level fodder. Imagine he used his super eyes to download the entire Niko Style in asura so he could teach it to Koga.But no
>>287996444Trips of revival and the beginning of the end of the beginning
>Narushima Koga
>>287996644Anon, you are about to job.
>>287996469NIKO = KINO
>>287996020People don't know but we used to theorize way earlier that Koga and Kazzy shared eyes.
>>287996469Hey remember THE MAN FORMS A FIST ONCE MORE? Remember the emotional impact of Ohma ascending to the peak and burning out? Remember how good the final fights were?Well fuck you
I do gotta say, using a surprise color page at the end of a chapter to highlight a reveal is actually really cool
>>287996469FUCK YOUFUCK YOUFUCK YOU
>>287996444Trips of death for the death of this manga
>>287996469...Didn't Ohma have a grave?
>>287996127I swear before this chapter there was one chapter where Koga and Ryuki binged the entire Asura tournament.
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469>The ritual is complete
>>287995852>>287995860Touching Koga ever in a fight condemns a character to unending torture and loss. Two people he only touched ONCE became hobos who were later beaten down by him.
>>287996469Color pages at the end of a chapter are really rare, you can just FEEL how desperate someone involved with this cockshit bullfuck was to generate hype for the series, cunting cunts.
>>287996469It's Gojover
>>287996469MY FUCKIN HEROBRAVO SANDWICH, THIS IS PEAK FICTION
>>287996705No biggie
>>287996116>>287996127Gotta hand it to Sandwich, at least he waited until the end of the volume before pulling this shit
>>287996623canon
Newfag here. Ohma coming back isn’t terrible but isn’t this a bit early lmao? The manga has barely gotten started Raian was enough and even looks more hype
>>287996451Surely this page has edits.
NO NO LET ME OUT! I DONT WANNA RELIVE THIS! HEEEEEELP!
>>287996751>Ohma coming back isn’t terribleOh my sweet summer child.
>>287996116Is it a coincidence that he finally broke mere months after drawing that?
Dust cover 1
>>287996647Nobody could predict the tragedy that was about to unfold.
Dust cover 2
>>287996751Shitting on the acclaimed ending of Asura is fucking terrible indeed.
>>287996406>>287996416Very Setsuna way to snap those necks
>>287996751Well first, it greatly diminishes the ending of Asura if it doesn't outright ruin it.Second, you will see in the next arc what his return meant for the serie.
>>287996751>*eyeore voice >It's all downhill from here
>>287996793I see Kureishi had some scoops himself
>>287996127ITS OVER
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469Done on an uber ride, can be improved.
>>287996751>Ohma coming back isn’t terribleFunny thing is that I was saying the same thing when this chapter came out.
>>287996623I don0t care that it was planned, it's still a shitty awful choice.
>>287996705Don't worry; I'm sure this Ohma is "just a clone."It's not the REAL Tokita Ohma.Just a clone....it has to be...
There was a time people had goodwill for this series.
In this thread we will craft an apology letter to the Niko Style, the greates martial arts ever createdDear
>>287996751Some of the hate is fueled by "future" events, but as for how it stands at the end of chapter 50 there is almost no foreshadowing Ohma was coming back and it shits on the end of Asura no matter how well justified it is.And in regards to Omega itself, it completely steps on Koga's moment of saving Kazzy and leaves us thinking he still isn't strong enough to take out two knife mooks and is killed or critically injured by 5 of them.
>>287996469>>287996451>>287996444This didn't bother me that much during release because while Ohma death was close to perfect, I thought his story was not done, especially with the subplots during Asura and all this Connector and Worm shit in Omega, like he was the missing piece. Remember that conversation he had with Kuroki about Niko visiting him for help?Sadly Sandro is a fucking awful writer so fuck me.
>>287996833I want to see one with all the doubters too.
>>287996444MY BELOVED HERO WHO DID NOTHING WRONG... and ohma and kazzy
>>287996833Yeah this isn't bad, I don't mind when people revive in fiction, why is everyone calling it the end of the manga.
>>287996841FUCKING
NO KILLINGKengan is way above killing!!It's against our new rules!!!>>287996406Well, it's OK when you do it <3
>>287996898BITCH
>>287996469I still can't get over how much of a betrayal of the ending of Ashura this is, and Ashura as a whole even but especially thematicallyThey spend this whole manga going on about the toll the tournament is taking on his body and how he's a walking corpse propped up on pure determination to go out in a blaze of glory against the best of the best just to turn around and go "lol, didn't matter"
>>287996869>I want to see one with all the doubters too.I have one saved from the too strong , I will post it when It happens
>>287996833There were people who really missed Ohma, so I don't blame them for thinking it looked cool in the moment.But in hindsight, this moment is the catalyst for a whole mountain's worth of awful writing decisions.
>>287996833I wonder where these people are now?
>>287996751You don't notice on a first read but you can tell early omega had a lot of sandroism, which means he has no idea what he is doing and lost control of the plot so Ohma reviving is the nail on the coffin of Sandro trying.In any other manga these panels with the villains plotting it leads to something, Sandro doesnt.
>>287996406Holy shit, how did Kazzy do tha
>>287996868The thing is, you don't need Ohma to wrap up all the other stuff. You have enough material to work with through connections to the Other Niko (Like Kiryu who explicitly escaped), and of course Beard himself.
>>287995614It's time
For anyone who didn't know, the new Convict Colosseum is finally out https://mangadex.org/chapter/7d09fe51-817b-40c1-946e-bba73f5a51f8/1
>>287996085>>287996073WHO??
>>>287996469The asylum has been expanded.....
>>287996806It’s common in fiction so not a dealbreaker so far. Execution matters more and this is weird so far. The timing is off. We have just BARELY gotten started with Omega. Koga is only starting to come into his own. Ohma showing up is going to steal spotlight that Koga deserves A protag return needs proper foreshadowing and should reasonably be near the end of the series once the current protagonist has fully enmeshed with the plotHell we haven’t even gotten Ryuki settled yet. The author is selling
>>287996116It looks like the editor is still there.>>287996127I am not "ready".
>>287996994sink reveal next week
>>287996751Its the benefit of hindsight. It may not seem obvious for the uninitiated but at this very moment, a critical screw in the story has come loose and everything will start falling apart piece by piece. You will notice the cracks soon
>>287996944Lmaooooo
>>287996906This isn't a match
>>287996469Chapter 50 extra
>>287996127Raws:https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/199103934/Chapter:https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/199142164/
>>287996469NIKO FUCKING SHITS
>>287996444>had a date>missed the nuke dropFuck. On the first read I thought this Ohma would be revealed to be an evil Worm clone.
>>287995614>Connecting
>>287996469>in a stunning display of what being the lowest common denominator really means, THIS is what saved the manga and gave it another 300 chapters
>>287996073Kaede's own words (written by Sandrovich):>This fighter had taken part in other underground martial arts leagues before coming here.>other underground martial arts leagues>before here>otherHe's outright defining "Kengan" as nothing more than an "underground martial arts league," now.But, you know.Maybe I'm wrong.It's just -----coincidence----- she mentions "other underground martial arts leagues before coming here!" You know? It'd be no different than saying something, like, "This fighter had taken part in other Chinese all-you-can-eat buffets before coming here!"See!?I can be wrong~
>>287996098Goddamn how tall is Ohma, how short is RIn
>>287996386>The river will make the cleanup so much easierSMUG!
>>287996971Last thread has room to discuss it.
LET IT BE KNOWNI CALLED THIS FUCKING CHAPTER SHIT DAY 1I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THE PEOPLE WHO CLAPPED LIKE RETARDED SEALS TO THIS
>>287996684It gets set up as early as the Koga/Kokuro fight which is like chapter 5 or 6.
I thought page >>287996431was a meme like>>287996429but no, Raian is actually there to make everything even worse
>>287997051>This isn't a matchTee hee!You got me!Looooooooooophoooooooooole!
>>287996895Can't go into detail without spoiling the rest, but this is the focal point of a lot of bad decisions. Pretty much more than half the problems of current Omega can be traced back to reviving Ohma.
>>287996833>I see myself in those comments Ohhhh how much i regret it. I was still „green“ back „then“ and trapped in Sandros „Spiderweb“
>>287996357I don't give a fuck about what any of his cocksuckers whine about Xia Ja deserves everything that happens to him after this, honestly deserves worse
>>287996833Things used to be different. You could enjoy the moment back then, bask in the glory of your hero returning once again. Evil was on the move, but the kengan association would prevail. This was a promess of riches to come, now it is just the beginning of a tumble in an abyss of so deep anons lost their sanity trying to fathom its depth.
>>287996469>>287996444I will never forgive Sandro for this utter hackery.
>>287995664Shen being a robot would have been better
>>287996895It‘s the stone that set everything bad that happens into motion.It’s when Sandro realized he doesn’t need good storytelling or character development he only needed hype moments to get the readers hooked and not even deliver later on those said hype moments
>>287997144I was there too but to be honest I don't feel smart for having called it out. Just depressed
>>287996311>>287996316>>287996328>>287996342It's astonishing that this chapter is the one that shits the bed because I genuinely think this is also the most tense and intimidating the WORM ever get just before this. Even their grunts are a difficult fight for Koga.
>>287996833Oh these naive sweet little things unable to see the dangers ahead. They are all gone or insane now
>>287996833All of them killed in the Gu ritual...
>>287997239a failed Gu Ritual...
>>287997031With the benefit of hindsight, I could see the signs of it unraveling yesterday. You can see where the shift happens, suddenly skipping all of the development to get here in 6 chapters.
>>287995852Damn sexy brat!Needs Plexus Kick Correction!
>>287996444>Literally trips of deathDamn this manga's more powerful than I thought.
>>287996469It's amazing how Sandro had such an amazingly desperate and hopeless situation and just utterly fucked it up. Hell even Riain showing up to Desu Ex Macnina would have been fine
>>287996469So? You wanna write a manga, too?
>>287997255Yeah. The 6 kilos, the sudden ramp-ups, even directly before the reveal the Worm grunts are saying shit like "Damn this guy got really strong in 2 months".
>>287996469I can't think of another jump the shark moment as bad as this in all of manga. Absolutely destroys all of the previous emotional high points and stakes going forward in one go and is then followed by a massive drop in quality.
>>287996416.... Surely he's still fine. He snuck into a heavily guarded prison and killed Ranjo effortlessly. He has a crowd of combatants along with him. Eddie should be walking in to help, or the cloaked dude. The knife guy should be strong too. Xia Ji can win this.
>>287997170Ah yes, a group hunting down and ganging up on a non-fighter with the intent to kill him is the same as an unofficial match
>>287996127Yeah this the point im gonna drop out i can’t take the drop of quality again.Maybe i‘ll join in for a few hype moments against the purgatory fight and when „The Tragedy“ happens but im out for most of it.It was fun reading the good part of ashura again
>>287996833I'm gonna admit, most of my hate is purely retroactive. When I first read this it WAS a hype moment. Only on later reexamination do you realize how bad of a twist this was
>>287997255That was just speeding up the story which I think is fine, Koga's already had key improvements in his developments saying "and then he trained like a maniac for two months" is not really a problem. I think the only thing he needed at that point was fighting someone for the right to enter the tournament (maybe Himuro or Kaneda, I don't know).
>>287997310This anon is unfathomably strong, to escape the spiders web at the last moment like this.
>>287997295I appreciate the fervor you have for Xia Ji, anon. I like him too.
Koga?Doesn't ring a bell anymore.
>almost no spoiler boxeswew, that bad huh?
>>287995687They sounded really fucking impressive back then.
>>287997323I don't want to be smug but I immediately recognised how terrible a move this was at the time. I feel like 4chan was split on this, the discord communities broadly disliked it and reddit generally approved. I also thought that even if a revival was always in the cards the fact that Ohma was brought back without Koga ever being told he was dead was a sign that it was rushed without thinking of how it would affect the story.
>>287997226Theres a reason Ch 144 is touted as THE true point of no return things were still good before and after Ch 50, as bad as it was there was still some hope
>>287997343our HEROES (Ohma and Raian)
>>287996469Read ahead of the storytime yesterday and I gotta say WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SANDRO!? ARE YOU A FUCKING RETARD??? WHY WOULD YOU BRING UP A CHARACTER WHOSE STORY HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFECTLY CONCLUDED ONLY TO TURN HIM INTO A FLANDERIZED SHELL AND SIDELINE EVERY OTHER CHARACTER IN FAVOR OF MORE NIKOSHITTERY. FUCK YOU SANDRO FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>>287997326However,
>>287996469Posting past reactions
>>287997324I get it, if you read it without knowing ahead of time, you might be disappointed, but sure, it's fair enough.But when you know it's coming, it recontextualises all of it.It's no longer "we're speeding up because we've seen enough" it's "we're speeding up because we need Ohma back NOW"
>>287997346Let’s be honest at this point sandro doesn’t continue any story point of Omega. He just drops something into the story from this point on and just goes to the next „big reveal“ when he gets bored with the last.Remember the different organizations grouping together against the worm?Yeah we got 1 (in words ONE chapter) of that and it hasn’t been mentioned in the last 2.5 years since then.Yes im not gonna spoil it because it doesn’t even matter.
>>287997383bring back*
>>287997393If you were to ask that anon that second what he thought of Koga there is a 100% chance his answer would be "who?"
>>287996653That sounds really gay.
>>287997365I actually disagree, if only because chapter 50 destroys Ashura on re-reads and it was followed by the KVP which is generally pretty bad. If it wasn't for the RCT the KVP might actually be the worst completed arc in Omega. Chapter 144 is more of the nail in the coffin but I actually think Fei dying just before might have been even worse than Eddie dying, Fei was being built up as the main villain until that got taken from under him. Eddie just had more star power and Sandro regretted killing him more obviously (hence bringing him back as a clone two weeks later lol).
>>287996469No! OHMA!! GET AWAY!!
This is merely the first seal of the Apocalypse.We still have two more to go
>>287996469Isn't it crazy that things are only ever gonna get worse from here?
>>287997343You will regret your words when KoGod returns.
>>287997406I think the story still has some cohesion until Eddie's death. After that point spoilers really dont matter because everything reads like a fever dream. I have no idea what the chronological order of the arcs even are anymore
>>287997183All's fair in territorial war. While this is plain evil I can't help but feel bad for Ji. Despite his (cute) smugness in trying to kill Kazzy he hasn't had a choice in the matter since he was born. He's just going through the motions of his role and when he gets dropped from his role (war ended) he still gets shafted.>>287997336I think I'm being overbearing but I love this character and I want to spread the art of him. Maybe I'll just upload the zip of my current collection because posting every applicable piece is much, such as this one for his stair scene.
>>287997365The thing is, Sandro had built up so much good will over the years that most people were willing to take this. SURELY he knows what he's doing?Coping would continue, and eventually, no one would be left as the blows would keep coming."That" just finally broke the camel's back even among the most devoted.
>>287996469People will (rightly) complain about Ohma's return, but this chapter also drives in the nail to the fact that the villains in this manga aren't allowed to have a single victory
>>287997303By the way, THIS was my post, I wrote that and went diving into the archive to find it, I was dealing with severe depression then and this made me happy for a day or two. Now I'm fine but I still remember having a few hapiness tears that day
>>287997466Actually I'd say at some point after that it seems to get back on the road again with the Berserker Bowl and first half of the inside arc (which provided non-retarded explanations to a lot of ashura mysteries), the point of no return is Mukaku getting additional backstories and the fight with Shen.
>>287997406>Remember the different organizations grouping together against the worm?>Yeah we got 1 (in words ONE chapter) of that and it hasn’t been mentioned in the last 2.5 years since then.Father soon.
>>287996469Don't believe it, it's a worm!!!
>>287997364>I feel like 4chan was split on thisYeah. There were two camps.The largest camp was really hype because people genuinely liked Ohma. Omega also did some clever emotional manipulation, remember when Kazzy got sad that Ohma wouldn't be able to fight Purgatory? That implanted a desire for Ohma to come back. Chapter 50 is more than a twist, it's straight up a dream come true.The second camp immediately recognized the damage done to Ashura's ending. They argued against it, but what could they do? There was no competing with the wave of joy and hype. Besides, that's Ashura's problem. Omega was good. There's no way Omega's quality would collapse right? Right?
>>287997405thinking back to that time people were actually super hyped for Koga, the panel where he says he's gotten bigger and he looks gigantic was memed to hell and back and people were pretty invested. *I* was pretty invested, the bit where him and his uncle talk about finishing moves and his fight was happening while I was training karate and it genuinely felt electric like I was reading something important.Ohma coming back was me getting brought down to earth, I was genuinely depressed, I don't think anything ever made me as depressed as that that I've read except maybe the first few chapters of Strongest Legend Kurosawa (which is intentional).
>>287997552The "it's a Worm" was a common theory as was "it's not Ohma it's Kiryu". For ages that was also a theory about Ryuki too because they're the same height and it helps that Kiryu having plastic surgery to look like Ohma and knowing multiple niko techniques would have been completely consistent with his established character. What made it clear it was Ohma was his line to Kazzy which only Ohma would have known.
>>287996469Ahhh yes the first of the calamities to turn this manga into dog shit.For me there were 4 ones.The first one being this.The second one being „spoiler“You were awesome Lolong“/spoiler“The third one being „spoiler“Eddies death“spoiler“and the fourth one being „spoiler“Eriohs death being a big thing „/spoiler“
>>287996469Man, Sandro is such a fucking hack, he better have a good explanation to ruin Asura's ending.
>>287995687Why did the English TL end up with the worm? Sounds pretty clear to me that they're referring to a gu ritual so a venomous insect is the default.
>>287996127>The Witching HourHAHAHAHAHA, in japanese that phonetically sounds just like... OHMA TOKITA/OMAGATOKI>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469I am going to be honest with all of "you", "other me". I loved this chapter back when it was released and I still love it today. YOU GUYS WERE NEVER THE TIGER VESSEL, I WAS!!!I love Niko and the Niko style
>>287996469I am cough-laughing, hypoxia, these might be my final moments. You were awesome "me"
>>287997561I didn't feel that strongly about it back then. I think part of that was, despite seeing what was going to happen, denial.I did mention my misgivings back then, but still.
>>287996469This is an absurd and kinda bad plot twist, but I could see this being somewhat salvaged in the hands of a competent writer. But based on how everyone else is reacting, I'm guessing it only gets worse from here.
>>287997612The word is mushi, dunno why they went with the worm. Finding an insect similar enough was probably hard
>>287997619In the end, anon was too strong to live through the chapter.
Phew!Well, now that Tokita Ohma returns from his death, theimportantplotpointknown as "Kengan versus Purgatory"is much more hype! Those stakes were soooooo high that it was getting hard to believe Kengan stood a chance, but I feel so much better about Kengan Omega's plot, now! I'm sure the author will be giving powerful conclusions to very important stories!
>>287997634>I'm guessing it only gets worse from here.I'm not kidding when I say that's a massive understatement.
Damn lots of complaints in this thread that this is the point it jumps the shark.Is ot actually worth it to continue now?I enjoyed it till now
>>287997616Thanks I hate it.
>>287997706Post Chapter 50 Omega is still enjoyable but not for intended reasons.
>>287995921Does he not know how small 50m is?
>>287996751>Raian was enough and even looks more hypeAre you a fan of Raian?Damn, uh...I'm sorry in advance
>>287997706Depends.There's probably some enjoyment to derive from it for now.And then it slowly shifts into enjoying it for other reasons, be it the breakdowns or... comedy.
>>287996116>Nogi supporter ?
>>287997601Mindbroken...
>>287997706If you continue then, without realizing, you will slowly become mad.
>>287997706Stay tuned, you'll love what happens next!
>>287997612Insect and bug sound non-intimidating, worm does sound scary. I think it's fine.
>>287997706I think KvP was kind of funny, although perhaps not for its intended purposes.
>>287997295God he's so bullyable.
>>287997706Things are only going to get crazier for all sorts of good, bad and weird reasons. Stick around and find out why Kengan Omega "changed" us into the "real Tiger Vessel". The Gu ritual is about get even better.>>287997716Well done, scale the "wall" and go beyond
>>287997706I will not mince words the majority of omega fans I know are some degree of traumatised from post-chapter 50 omega.
>>287996444>be Sandro>you wake up from your week-long drug bender along with the rest of your team and realize that you've accidentally resurrected OhmaHow do you fix it from here? You aren't allowed to retcon the last three pages, Ohma is alive. You can't just say, for example, that it was Gaoh and Kazzy was hallucinating.
>>287997794the real issue is what Ohma says to Kazzy that makes it incredibly hard to say it's not Ohma. Closest thing I can think of is having it so Ohma is basically a cripple who can only fight in short bursts.
>>287997794>How do you fix it from here?You make it so Ohma can't actually fight for long periods and has to stay in the Kure village.Have him become a mentor and trainer instead of having him join fights.
>>287997706Im gonna be honest if you want to continue it for the story just end it here.Just imagine that Koga died, Kazzy had a hallucination of Ohma being alive and saving him while in actuality he got killed by the worm and then the worm escaped and were never found by the rest of the association while Ryuki is sad over kogas death but promised to never kill and becomes the new champion of the Kengan organization after years of fighting.You will be happier with that ending than the actual continuation of the Omega storyline.BUTIf you wanna see top tier quality memes and shizo posting on the level of dragonball threads you’re gonna have the time of your life.
>>287997843The problem with that is the niko style will leak containment and spread to Koga. Ideally, you would really want a way for Ohma to not be a mentor
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>287996116>Ohma came back from the dead>Two Meguro' working with DaroMeguro Masaki is coming back.
>>287997887We are fixing a bad situation anon, maybe we can sacrifice Ryuki to the Niko style since he basically uses it anyway. Koga can take a move or two and continue building a hodge podge style of his own.
>>287997794>How do you fix it from here? You aren't allowed to retcon the last three pages, Ohma is alive. You can't just say, for example, that it was Gaoh and Kazzy was hallucinating.SimpleEmbrace the GI Joe/Street Fighter side of Kengan>Ohma was saved from death by the Kures and Hanafusa>Shangheid into being a weapon against the Worm's terrorism since he seems to be intrigal to their plans and knows a little of what's going on>Ohma is now more or less Guile/Captain America running around the world fighting an international terrorist org as he tries to find out more about his past
>>287996444I can feel how koga protagonism is slowly eroding from here...
>>287997847I'm going to believe after a certain point that the "worm" never existed, Kazzy found the eligible fighters needed for purgatory, and we ended with a straightforward tournament arc just like Asura. Did you guys see that badass Koga fight in the finale? Our boy's come a long way.>memes and schizopostingI'm in.
>>287995918I think they call this species of twink “twunks”But yeah, compared to the insane physiques of some fighters he is a twink
>>287997706The fights during the tournament are fine.But honestly I feel like the characters themselves is where it all starts falling apart from this point
>>287997612>>287997771I was a little disappointed when I found out it wasn't originally Worm, since I thought the whole "where there is strife, there is the Worm" was gonna be a Conqueror Worm type of deal
>>287996469Why? Why did the mangaka do this? Can one of you oldfags explain? Because currently this seems beyond retarded
>>287996833>2020Why I didn't escaped that time... now I'm trapped in this gu ritual...
>>287997887Koga getting taught the Niko style is the least offensive thing about Ohma's return, desu. It's a cool way to connect the two protagonists AND if Sandro was a good writer you could link it back into Ohma turning into a Niko-like figure for Koga; I think this would work fine because the majority of Ohma's Asura characterization revolved around Tokita Niko in the first place.
>>287996444THE "TRAGEDY" BEGINS NOW
>>287995891>>287995918>>287997951Xia falls close to ambush territory as well.Though there's a lot of overlap between ambush and twunk.
>>287995997How far would Kazzys ancestor have gotten in the original tournament?
>>287997951It's not just the physique it's the sheer bullyable submissive nature that makes him a twink
>>287997929Oh thats actually a pretty good idea, have Koga refuse to be taught by the goal he wants to beat. Then he can beat the niko style contained within Ryuki using traditional techniques
>>287996751>>287997019get ready for some ntr doujin tier pages
>>287996027Rare knife WBut its against Koga of all people ao it cancels out
>>287997985>ambushI'm afraid to ask but fuck it. What the fuck is an "ambush" I mean I know what a trap is obviously but "ambush" seems more to what a reverse trap is
>>287997365Not really. I personally officially checked out and went full "total sandrobitch death" at Alan's death.
>>287995843>>287995852>seemingly kicking him at the end of a chapter>he actually nailed him instead of getting HOWEVERedThis feels like magic.
>>287995834i too would demand xia takes his shoes off
>>287996469Okay, but it looks like >>287982045 can still happens. After Ohma saves Kazzy, Kazzy can tell him about Purgatory, in which Ohma will turn around and stick out his tongue and tell him he's got it all wrong.
>>287997966The existing theory seems to be that people weren't happy with the pace of the manga and Ohma's return was a "in case of emergency button". Because he comes back in a weird place and his return doesn't actually influence the plot until hundreds of chapters later.
>>287998016An ambush is similar to a trap where its a man with a feminine face, however while the face is sweet and feminine you slap it on a huge muscle body and that's the "ambush" part. One could also argue its just an "adult" trap.Its also usually a lot more gay./d/ has an ambush thread up now if you wanted to check it out.
>>287998077I don't understand where that theory came from. Omega was fucking popping at the time.
>>287996469Six years later It's just as awful as I remembered
>>287996947>The thing is, you don't need Ohma to wrap up all the other stuff.You do though.
>>287996085The pose and hair just makes me think he fought a revived Jesus.
>>287997843That's what I was thinking as welland also establish that he is on borrowed time since he got a transplanted heart, those shits aren't like car parts there's all sorts of fuckery that goes along with being a transplant patient
>>287997560We've always shared the threads with some real retards with no taste. They've cheered for Ohma coming back, for Raian killing Alan then Eddie, for Sandro publishing SiR, for every stupid tournament arc, and even for the godawful crossover.
>>287998120>he's never fought an opponent who suddenly starts to T-pose on you
I still don't understand Sandro's decision. Is Omega doing that badly in rating that he needed to pull this cheap stunt? Do Japanese people even like Ohma? I thought he placed low in the popularity ranking.
>>287998121The thing about organs is that unlike here there isn't a exact match in real life not even from twins.
>>287997951>TwunkThe homosexuality of Kengan knows no bounds if a man with THIS physique standing at 6 foot 6 inches is a twink or even a twunk. He's literally Muteba sized, if he was in the KAT he would've been the 7th largest fighter.
>>287997601Goddamnit I hate hispanics so much.
>>287998113For what exactly?
>>287996469And to think it would have worked so much better if he'd come back with permanent effects from wrecking himself instead of being 100%.
>>287998150Bringing Ohma back was always the plan, I don;'t know how people could read the end of Asura and the start of Omega without figuring that out.
>>287998100With who though?
>>287996469>sure hope nobody here ACTUALLY thought the stakes in asura meant something or felt touched by the endingon its own this set of chapters isn't even that catastrophic, the worm is an actual threat, xia is set up as an actually interesting foe, the sense of tension is strong but its immediately ruined with this "reveal"
>>287997966Sandro could never let a character stay dead. Mokichi "somehow" surviving getting his neck snapped and head thrown into the ground, Seki surviving the heart jab because ACTUALLY Muteba held back, Ren surviving his heart getting twisted, even Meguro was "resurrected" through MasakiSandro probably floated around the idea of Ohma coming back even despite the way he wrote Ohma's "death"
Does anyone have that Waka vs Fei collage? With all the panels from the end of their fight
>>287998175So kinda like Odin from Kenichi who fights people while bound to a wheelchair?
>>287998113You don't. Ohma doesn't do shit in the plot until the Inside arc hundreds of chapters later (until then his sole impact on the plot is beating Lolong when Toyoda wouldn't have absorbed the KA anyway and teaching Koga three moves for the BB) and doesn't become plot critical until the revelation that Shen's two sides want to fight with each other.
>>287998194With "us".
>>287998167>tiger niko>ohma nikoBoth still relevant in Omega, that wouldn't have any weight whatsoever if Ohma wasn't there.>but kiryuAgain barely any point to him if Ohma wasn't there.
Bamboozling
>>287998212This?
>>287998189It wasn't always the plan, there was a single line at the end of ashura which left the door open but it was a stupid fucking idea and it definitely wasn't the plan to bring back Ohma 50 chapters into Omega when he isn't important to the plot for another couple hundred chapters.
Getting bamboozled
>>287998246Nah, the one that's just manga panels stitched together
>>287998228Tiger Niko coming back was a retcon too, so spoiler your fucking posts. Kiryu already has his own arc in the shadow of Ohma saving him and then dying.
>>287998248It was, just think why all the relevant Kurenever appeared after Ohma's death.
>>287998246This was our peak
>>287998264Anyone who thought Tiger Niko actually died because Kiryu said so is stupid.
>>287995939>>287996151>>287996184>>287996248>>287996300This is the best fight of the entire rest of the manga.It doesn't get any better than this.
>>287998211>ught the Niko style is the least offensive thing abTold you he became a pussy only capable of writing shitty little girls SoL.
>>287998246fuck the niko style
>>287998288No you didn't and also wrong guy
>>287998091>d/ has an ambush thread up now if you wanted to check it out.Fuck it let's ball>Second pic is MitsuyoCan't escape Kengan. Anyway I get it, not my jazz but I get it as as an enjoyer of the princely type tomboy/reverse trap
>>287996913STYLE
Looking at Sandro's latest works makes me wonder how Ashura was good as it was.
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469
>>287998246what's even more fucking stupid is that in isolation this is a Joey vs Marik incredible overperformance against a main villain but Fei actually dying just turns it into a "the worm suck" thing and even worse the ending actually got spoiled weeks before by Daro's pedophilic butterfingers showing the shot on stream, which is the only reason people thought Waka could win at all.>>287998281It's stupid to argue that Ohma needed to come back to resolve something that wouldn't be established for another 50-70 chapters after the fact.
It should have Setsuna who came and saved Kazuo, just because Setsuna liked Kazuo enough to "save him from Niko" and what Sandro does with him later is a pointless loop of nothing happening
>>287998246I think we had a kengan thread up 24/7 during that fight, crazy times. Felt like the real finale of KVP
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469As a new reader, this doesn't make sense. This takes away from the ending of Asura, I'm sure it'll also reduce Koga's role as the supposed actual MC as the story goes on.......But fuck me, I probably am the lowest common denominator, because these pages are the sickest shit ever.
>>287997383I'll leave it open to interpretation.
>>287998016An "ambush" in the Sandroverse is called an "unofficial Kengan challenge!"
>>287998157Anon you're focusing too much on his physique, Xia has the mentality of a twink that's what people are homing in on
>>287998337simply put Sandro had done FOTS, which was basically a dry run for Ashura. It has a ton of stuff that turns up again in Ashura (a guy who is basically Raian + Kiryu, a guy who is basically a slightly weaker Kuroki who has an epic match against the invincible Kanoh equivalent, a pro wrestler, a BJJ guy, a boxer, a ninja guy who is literally a relative of Sen, a fast guy who is basically Rei etc, the protag even gets a BS win in the semi-finals just like Ohma but this time it's because his opponent literally tripped on a hole in the ground made from a previous match). But everything is worse in FOTS, for instance the Kanoh equivalent is literally just a big hulking guy who hammerfists everyone in one shot and bitches about how people don't train hard enough.So Sandro basically took all those ideas and mixed them around. The Raian and Kiryu equivs are different people. The boxer is also a muay thai guy and is strong, the BJJ guy has a protagonist arc, instead of the best fight in the tournament being in the prelims, it's in the semi finals etc.The result is a very heavily drafted tournament arc which worked really well. And then in Omega he ran out of ideas in a year and imploded.
>>287995921>he has a knifematch instantly settled
>>287995882There's a name box in the literal previous chapter, in the very same thread, speedreader-kun
>>287998374because everyone knew Ohma was going to skullfuck Lolong in the finals. The only question was difficulty, and hilariously originally Ohma was meant to ONE SHOT HIM.
>>287998455>spoilerI genuinely think it would've been better than what we got
>>287998281>Anyone who thought ******** actually died because the author Sandrovich said so is stupid.Very true.
>>287998379Can't be the lowest if you can still see all the issues with it.There's been times where you see something and you know it's not really good, but something in you just gets hyped anyways.DBS and Pokemon XY, though both get an emotional response through nostalgia
>>287998379>It's Kazzy's darkest hour and he's exhausted all his options at his disposal>Suddenly, the first protagonist returns to save him in his time of need>In multiple color pages>He also says the thing again as a callback to when they first met/last left offIt's a classic storytelling formula. In any other story, it is almost guaranteed to be followed by a great moment. But considering this is Kengan...
My small contribution to Keng/a/n memes
>>287996469I'm having a premonition.
>>287998467On one hand it would have been gutbustingly hilarious on the other hand it would have been infuriating. The issue is Sandro had already delivered enough anti-climaxes unintentionally without putting another one in on purpose
>>287998499Wait a minute...Ohma is Jesus.
>>287997966>>287998150At this point it's impossible to tell what Sandro's intentions for Omega ever were.You will gradually learn Sandro is actually very flawed as a writer. One of these flaws being an inability to stick to something. He will toss out plot points on a whim. Omega has probably been rewritten like three times by now.
>>287997706Its just gets worse and worse with some enjoyable moments. You don't even notice when it turns to a comedy, then to upright ai slop.
>>287998405Xia has the mentality of a WINNER who will do anything he can to WIN! You will never understand the mind of a rat dragon who vied to own it all. Would a "twink" survive the torture that he underwent just to exist, escape two FoTS characters, outlive Eddie and Fei, get Akoya to admit that he and Ryuki would've lost even at his best in a 2v1? It's deranged people see him get beat up by Raian, Eddie, Joji+Kureshi, and protag buffed Koga and think because he cries during all of this he's a loser twink. Why don't people call Lu Tian their abuse twunk wife, Alan Wu their stay at home wife, Yumigahama their ryona bait princess?
>>287997706A party is about to begin.
>>287998246>thread for the final chapter of this fight hit 1000 bumpsTruly the peak of Kengan autismo. And the ending sucking made it even funnier

>>287998100It really wasn't. Hype kind of died down around chapter 25ish. Omega really only got a surge during KvP.

>>287996469Why did Sandro do it bros?Did the editor force him to bring him back?There's no way he planned on his own to shit on the beautiful ending of ashura just for a hype "im back" moment
>>287999399That's why it's secret, stupid.Nobody knows they have the tattoo!
>>287997383Looks like you failed to go limp in your brain anonRookie mistake
>>287999457Other anons said that the editor was the one holding it all together and that he also managed several decently successful series. I'm keeping a close eye on the behind the scenes pages to see if/when he leaves.
Reading this and seeing how much Sandro tries to make the Worm seem compelling and intimidating, just to then remember they're doing all of this for the most hands off and super chill guy who can't be fucked to acknowledge or take responsibility for the horrible shit his cult followers do, it's like tonal whiplash because it is
>>287999513I've seen claims that he never did leave, so I too would like to see that.Others assign the fault on covid stopping their in-person meetings (Which would make sense to some extent, I guess, given how they did show how certain moves should be done). That would be around this point.

>>287997612What was the first work mention again? This seems like the kind of thing that might get a liberal choice made at first because they don't know how big of an involvement it has with the plot and then they just double down to not have to rewrite the old chapters
>>287997634It's the "start" of a "massive party"...
>>287998379I mean, even during the initial release people had mixed feelings about, and some anons were even excited, myself included. It's just that, unbeknownst to us at the time, it was only going to get much worse from here on out, to be point that you'd wish everything after chapter 49 didn't exist.
>>287999525"The Connector" was totally an entirely different character at this stage.
>>287999644 When he was introduced as a chill guy that was fine but I fully believe that after making Shen Joji's drinking buddy it completely undid whatever was in store and Sandro decided Shen IS someone's drinking buddy instead of that being a side quirk of his personality
>>287995834what did he mean by that hand gesture?
>>287996469DEATH TO ALL NIKOSHITS
>>287995873What year does Omega take place? You'd think Koga is zoomer
>>287997706KvP is fun. Most of Omega memes and edits are from there.Don't miss it.
>>287998246ManBack when I still had hopeBefore the tragedy...I'm in there, that's nice.
Hassad soon.
>>287998246>>287998279>>287998374It was. Fun times.
>>287996653he's a skinny old man and how would he have learned niko style without a teacher
>>287998246Fuck, those were good times, I guess. Somehow we really enjoyed the kengan threads and still had some serious theories. Peak shitposting top, Enter Okubo and Terashi edits were my favs
>>287995873>MillennialReminder that Xia Ji is Gen X and is 38 years old at the very least in this scene.
>>287995731how does bando keep that physique when he spends most of his time completely restrained?
>>287999571(nta)Oh!I've been typing the brackets by hand for years...
>>287997126>how tall is Ohma182 cm>how short is RIn148 cm
>>287999842His kengan evolves into a sharingan.
>>287998136>SiRNot him but I honestly haven't bothered to touch it, what's up with it
>>287999605can we make an exception for this very special occasion?

>>287995758Look, the urge to just hint at things is what gets a lot of criminals.
>>287995939>>287995950>>287995961>>287996027>>287996041back when the worm felt like it could actually be dangerous
>>287996444good timing from ryuki, i didn't know he was friends with raian though
>>287996316>>287996328Genuinely good moment.
>>287996444>>287996469I really do hope that Sandrovich is at least aware that he's a complete hack.
>>287995811Don't "you" have a "human heart"?
>>288000000
>>287998157>He's literally Muteba sizedhe's a twunk like thhe needs more width for that. i dont care much about the height because i'd fuck a tall woman too
>>287999891I don't think he is restrained like that usually. Wasn't this meeting right after KAT? He was probably still on the way to prison at that point, or maybe he's restrained whenever someone comes to meet him.
>>288000345holy fuck i had a stroke at the start of this postanyway he's a twunk like the angels from panty and stocking
>>287996127What a fucking way to start. I'm a first timer here. I'm scared.
>>287998120Kaneda predicted that too
>>287996469Honestly I don't even mind this that much desu. But why do this before Koga's really proved himself yet seems really premature
>>287996316Virginal reader here, this chapter has been kino so far. Gritty Koga giving it his all thru the blood. Idk what you guys are on abou>>287996633Kekek I thought exactly this holy fuck. Nevermind. Has Sandro commented on why he did this?
>>287999457Bro the editor left.
>>287999595>Thread themeYES - Owner of a Lonely Hearthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVOuYquXuuc
>>287996469I don't even necessarily think that bringing Ohma back is an inherently bad idea that can never be done well.A man who's finished his journey and made peace with his death bring brought back and forced to ask "Okay, what now?" can work as a character arc.But having it happen this soon and steal the spotlight from Koga as the protagonist is such a bizarre choice.Also, between the Meguro clone and the cyberbrain being set up right before this, I'm surprised that those weren't used as the explanation for how Ohma came back.
>>287997706Is it worth continuing in the hopes that the manga will still be good? No.Is it worth continuing just to be in on the joke because it's a part of /a/ culture? Maybe.
>>287998136His "slice of life" comedy style works great with Danberu and his sexy teen girls who want to lift weights and watch Hollywood flicks.
>Already at bump limitI've would've posted earlier but alas, today is Mother's day. I hope you all had a pleasant day with your mothers.
>>288000902Taking her to see my grandpa with alzheimer's
>>288000660As of >>287996116, he is still part of the team. We'll see in the BtS to come if or when the editor leaves.
>>287999973>I'm almost as tall as OhmaNip heights will never stop being dumb
Remember, /a/. All for the "connector".
>>288000773It's inherently bad because it goes against Asura's ending, but also, it shows a lack of faith in what you're writing.Sure, if he lived at the end of Asura, you could make it work with a few ways without pissing on your new MC duo, but that's just not what we're getting.
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469What do you mean, he's alive?
>>287995890The work was really threatening in early omega
>>288001201Kazzy "The Tiger's Eye" must be hallucinating; he's just seeing things, given how much danger he's in.That's all.:(
>>287996085>predicter vs predicterWoulda liked to see this
>>288001026And rin is almost as tall as me shut up
~~Not hapenning~~ ~~ I'm dying now!~~
>>287996116They have a vtuber there
>>288001317Perfect height femanon...
>>287996258We had it so good
>>288001299Well half of the Kengan fighters have "foresight" now
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469This scene is really nice, it's only "soiled" by what comes "after".
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469Unironically a good scene, it's just ruined by what comes later...
>>287996469what the FUCK ohma I cried for you
>>288001418I don't think there's a way to write a followup scene that doesn't sound weird after. You would have to explain how Ohma survived the KAT with those life threatening injuries, what he did for all that time, and why he didn't contact Kazzy or anyone we know during it.
>>287996777ENTER ELENA
>>288001501Don't mind if I do
>>287996469I got spoiled on this but assumed it was from some spinoff thing because of how kino his death was. This cant be real
>>288000902I'll turn HER into a mother
>>287996444>>287996469AYIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE MAMMOTH MUNDY SAVE ME
>>287995811MY WIFE
>>287997706Everyone will have a different breaking point
>>287996429I fell for it kek
>>287996444I remember that I had to stop for like a few minutes because I was in a state of utter disbelief when I read this years ago.
>>288001464>Unironically a good scene,Yeah man, ruining the ending of Asura was so good.
>>287996469I wonder if Sandro in any way regrets doing this. I'm absolutely certain he got some kind of a euphoric high from doing this and getting people talking like crazy about the manga when it first came out.But this high is the same kind of high that a spouse would get from cheating on his wife. It's a strong high for sure, but then the guilt quickly settles in when he realizes that he's done something that has betrayed the trust of his wife.
>>287996469I remember this being the moment I stopped reading the manga outside of kengan threads. Glad I jumped ship, this really was the beginning of the end.
>>287996429Even this would have been way better. Imagine if the Kengan Association was secretly monitoring Kazzy and making sure that he wasn't gonna get attacked.>>287997162Raian would have been better too, as long as he was without Ohma. Because I could easily foresee a situation where the KA secretly hires Raian and the Kure clan to quietly watch over and protect Kazzy in case of situations like this. Kazzy is basically the KA's second most important figure, so they definitely needed actually strong fighters to protect him.
>>287997706If you want to know why everyone here has gone insane, stick with us. The rest of the manga can still be enjoyed in its own unique way. Just be warned that insanity is infectious.
>>288002223Of course, that's why I joined the daily in the first place. I've seen anons reference Kengan in like 5 to 6 unrelated dailies/storytimes and its too late to back out now.
>>288002196They could have even done something like say Kazuo's son hired the Kure's to protect him since he was wary of the worm. He's hired them before, maybe even do a callback to Kazuo and Erioh's conversation in Ashura but Kenzo affirming his desire to protect his dad instead.
>>287996444>>287996451>>287996469The fact that this was all done in full color just goes to show how clueless Sandro was about the consequences of this writing decision.>>287998175I once made a cope hypothetical scenario where the Worm unearthed Ohma's body and left him as a vegetable (sort of like in Metal Gear Solid 5) so that they could continue their Connector cloning experimentation shit, which would actually establish the Worm as an evil organization.
>>288002260Thankfully, you're gonna get a neutered version of the community's insanity. This is due to the fact that this storytime will be a daily thing that will be over before the end of the year (assuming 3 chapters a day). Meanwhile, the people who had been sticking with this manga from the start have had to deal with a weekly dripfeed of constant disappointment over the course of 6 years that has driven them insane in ways that you (thankfully) won't experience.
>>288002309"We" need to pick up the "slack" and "party"
>>288002309There still has to be something of value for anons to stick with a series for 6 years, right? There's no way sunk cost fallacy is that strong. Don't answer that, I am not ready.
>>288002399The something of value was all of Asura and the first 49 chapters of Omega.
>>288002399Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm here for the thread banter and the memes that each shitty chapter generates. The thread OC in particular (like pic related) is amazing (spoiler warning for the image though).
