>>288083349>flicker jobs
>>288083378>>288083382>>288083388I love having no idea what's going on.
>>288083369Legendary bottom panel
>>288083336Alan is the only guy with common sense
>>288083436>>288083446In no fucking world is his "optimal" weight 53 kilos.
>>288083336I love how both Falcon and Liu are so supportive.
>>288083430I don't think that's allowed under Purgatory rules
>>288083369ICONIC
>>288083359>i didn't react because there wasn't any damaging intent behind the attackCould a knife user apply the same "principals"
>>288083462This is how The Fang felt during KAT btw.
>>288083388HIGH LEVEL JABS!?!??!
>>288083511>>288083520IT BEGINS
>>288083336Yumi has no idea how right he is
Chapter 61: The Genius Striker
>>288083436Finally my daily dose of Agito culo is here
>>288083499>Medel immediately died and turned into a ghostUnfathomable
>>288083547I know the chapter changed, but it's really disorienting how he's suddently doing a hand-stand.
>>288083569Come on guys, we all played Tekken, we all faced that asshole who played Eddie or Christie. "We" know Capoeira.
>>288083430I'd swear I've Kaolan's exact expression drawn on guts
>>288083570Cool it with the racist remarks, Lihito
>>288083579THE FIRST LOLONG
>>288083446HE'S GOING IN FOR GAOLONG'S COCK!
>>288083579Nicolas is so much fun
>>288083579Enter
>>288083581It sure would be great if we could SEE this amazing Capoeira-boxing mix instead of blurry lines.
>>288083612So Gaolan has fought capoeiristas in kengan matches before, or did one try to to kill Rama?
>>288083625>It was a wall (...) scale
>>288083625>The Wall
>>288083644>Other things you might be interested with>EyelashesInteresting.
>>288083507same pose and everything
>>288083644>>288083659God its just...so fuckin' stupid lol
>>288083659>Lifetime boxer>20 hours is all it took to having flexible enough legs for itAm I wrong for thinking that a boxer would still struggle with doing splits?
>>288083682Why do you know this? Was this news?
Chapter 62: Right Fist of God
>>288083644ICONICAROO
>>288083359What if a fighter learnt to hide their bloodlust so that all their strikes would land?
>>288083682HuhSeems like everyone in Kengan knows jack shit about Purgatory despite it being a large commercial promotion, but everyone in Purgatory knows everything about Kengan matches, even though they're supposed to be super exclusive and mainly about settling business disputes and a show as more of an afterthought
>>288083601That fucking arm lmao
>>288083369>>288083378>>288083382FASTER THAN LIGHT
>>288083625I can see the wall...
>>288083750>BrotherYeah sure buddy. Brother.
>>288083717Kaolan reminding everyone he's the most telepathic Kengan character.
>>288083369>babe its 4pm, its time for your ozempic
>>288083644>he's only a 4.5 star capoearist
>>288083388What a high level trade!
>>288083644>3 and a half stars
>>288083682I see, so this is the arm bandit got inspired from.
>>288083800I never really bought this "I can read your moves". He hasn't made a single comment on Medel's patterns at all. It's just>I can hit you now even though you were very fast because I can now guess your moves
>>288083644It's not even four stars, why?
>>288083430remember this important characterization for the conclusion of this match
>>288083831>He broke a boulder!?!?!Cool. Much cooler when Misasa does this with 0 effort.
>>288083430Metaphorically
DONEBy all rights Gaolang's hand should be completely unusable now.
>>288083855You just know some retard out there decided to copy this and now lives with SRI or something. You can't overdo "partial training".
>>288083838So omakes are just canon now then?
>>288083855Thanks OP
>>288083537Iconic carlos image
>>288083838>>288083847>no we will not send a fighter>he can go cheer his rival tho
>>288083855Is Naruto tomorrow?
>>288083457that's what he realizes himself
>>288083436I think he might have overcorrected the problem just a teensy weensy bit
>>288083603Its okay, Gaolang always wears a chastity cage for defence
>>288083644>he bought a 3.5 star rated reference
>>288083462>THIS HOLOCAUST VICTIM IS TOO STRONG, RAMA SAVE ME
>>288083942gotta protect his purity for his highness
>>288083775It's easy to forget because he has never correctly predicted anything.
>>288083336Nicolas and Fei friendship.
>>288083579>Oh shit, i was sleeping! Better say something about the match even though i still have my eyes closed, and hope they don't notice>"Most Likely">hell yeah, you still got it
>>288083471I think know exactly what kind of build Carlos would have in a souls game
>>288084025me when i'm in a meeting
>>288083511La creatura...
Hassad soon.
>>288083879Carlos has like 4 iconic images, he is very photogenic
>>288083336I'm sure these two care for each other very much
>>288083336Even his own team is joining in hexing Medel now. Only Alan the freshie has his back and is trying to cast wards on him...
>>288083644>Kengan (Fist Eye) app>Dancing classes with Sawada>Gaoh Style backstabbing app
>>288084156Nicolas 100% does. Fei got rewritten to be a turboasshole just so you know he's a villain. And then Sandro kills him in like 2 chapters
>>288083537Ah so thats why they live in a Godless world. Carlos wanted to "test" his "strikes" and now dead people are coming back to life
I’ve been meaning to ask. Why do some of you use quotes and talk like schizos?
>>288084240You, "anon", are still "green".
>>288084240"I" believe this is "bait" for "replies". Very well "me", have a "(You)".
>>288083359This is where the rewrite started, huh?
>>288083388HOLY SHIT WHAT A HIGH LEVEL EXCHANGEThe immediate covid impact is so obvious.
>>288083612>how could i be so stupid?Imagine how viciously he verbally assaulted himself after the tournament if being blindsided by an attack he managed to block was enough to make him this angry with himself
>>288083336>purgatory team laughing and joking aroundOur heroes are on the ropes...!
>>288083734Getting impregnated by rama XIII rn(right now)
Imagine Carlos with the Shen VR game
>>288083369KINOOOOOOOO
>>288083430>>288083436I see, so Okubo and Rihito are the designated retards for this fight
>>288083471>After getting rid of my excess muscles, all I lost is my muscular strength.>read this>nose starts bleeding>vision starts to blur>feel myself losing iq points
>>288083579It begins.
>>288083570>>288083579Cool transition
>>288083579So this is the guy I heard so much about in the Asura threads.
>>288083579>Lolong... didn't move!!!
>>288083634Covid started and they stopped choreographing IRL so the choreo immediately goes to complete shit, please understand.
>>288083625I'M GOING INSANE
>>288083644Me when I download an app to become a world-renowned martial artist
>>288083659He really worked out at the library
>>288083778For some reason these name boxes in particular really bother me
>>288083528The most REAL, TRUE, LEGITIMATE
>>288083528>I didn't think you'd keep reading this long>You've earned the right to read "The Real Kengan Omega."
>>288083822It's just one of those martial artistism buzzwords Sandro loves to throw around to justify any outcome or turn of events he wants. If you're a "green one", get ready for "getting the timing right" to become one of the most overused phrases in this shit.
>>288084471>Carlos punched anon through the screenUnfathomable...
>>288083847Saw Paing and his stupid hammered head
>>288083855>THIS is all i haveGaolangbros, just what is he going to bring out this time? Im scared
>>288083659Most Keng/a/ns have been brainwashed to think he used an app to learn capoeira, but it was a book all along.
>>288084707Sandro subverts me yet again
>>288084322Yep.
>>288084707I think part of it is that the phone panel is way bigger, but also some people just say it's an app because that would be even dumber and therefore funnier
>>288084002He can only read thoughts, not intent, so it's a very surface level power in matches.
>>288083644>*notification buzz*>We missed you!>Complete a lesson to earn 50 gems today
Yukuzaki Mumom (real) and Yurikawa Taiju character biosWhat's even the point of stating that the fake was slightly stronger than the real one? If a lower worm combatant is so good then why did Xia Ji bring bums and a guy who tops out at killing an old man with a knife? And why is his inner circle genuine 1 shot fodder for Sen and Rei?
>>288084358The problem is that this may not have been covid yet. It was mentioned in the last volume, but those trail behind a decent bit from the actual chapters. Not that we could figure out the exact timing.
>>288083644dubs for one of the best jokes of this tournamentkek
>>288083838aw his best friend came to watch his match
>>288083644>Siri... activate capoeira.exe
>shitpost in a thread and immediately close the tab as people start typing angry replies
>>288084590
>>288084824Medel chapters were originally coming out a good few months into the coof I remember, but I don't know exactly when Japan started doing lockdowns and stuff like Daro implied. But it's close enough that I feel like it probably lines up.
>>288084974The dip already aligns with Ohma and Raian going super, after which you kinda never get choreography again, so either that was deep enough as well, or it's kinda coincidental.
>>288084974According to google, Japan began coof lockdowns on April 7, while chapter 60 was released on May 7. So, they were exactly a month into the lockdowns.
>>288083446Does Sandro knows what 40 kilos is.
>>288083569>capoeiraoh yeah
Reminder that one of the biggest dramas from around the time of the release of these chapters was anons seething about the fact that the HnK translators adapted Medel's original Golden Emperor epitaph into El Dorado
>>288085062Chapter 50 was released in February 12 2020 so it wasn't during Covid lockdown. Sandro is just that much of a hack.
>>288084934
>>288083600I'd say technically that would go to the Purgatory group walkout. Lolong was specifically in the middle to show just how important he was. So began 1.5ish years of pointless and excessive hyping.
>>288084811Xia Ji himself is fodder for Sen and Rei so you can't ask much from his cronies
>>288083388>"THIS IS SO HIGH LEVEL"
>>288083471When playing Armored Core I made my AC as fast as possible and called it [Speed Trigger]Nobody can keep up with my Speed Trigger once I get serious.
>>288083462>that sheer look of terrorKWAB
>>288083471Is this true? Can I become really strong if I turn into a twink?
>>288084471>he couldn't see the punch
>>288083579Awwwe they are such good friendsLook at the banter
>>288084707That's like 20 times funnier, imagine learning fucking capoera from a book and MASTERING it in 20 hours.
>>288083644Well anon?
>>288083570Could you elaborate on those schools? No? Okay.
>>288083682How does he know that Sandro?
>>288085109It had potential... I wonder what went wrong.
It's funny on a reread seeing Carlos losing all his aura chapter by chapter>kuroki of boxing>better p4p than gaolang>being skinny make him even better than his prime>gaolang just figured out the "timing" after a minute taking weak jabs and demolish him>he was struggling against no-name jobbers with only his boxing>bust out capoeira moves he learns in 20 hours off a book>gaolang still no-diff them>suddenly seethes about underground pride and pulls off a ingout win
>>288083635Does he own the bar?
>>288085668>no-diffEnglish motherfucker, do you write it?
>>288085610I think...this is the start of my true "Scaling"
Gao still hasn't used his mu thai.
>>288085610Too highly rated for my taste
>>288083369Meme panel spotted
>>288085642The ending was rushed but I think it was a very good manga overall. Only the youtuber arc was bad.
>>288084640Keeeek
>>288083471>after getting rid of my excess muscles, all I lost is my muscular strength
>>288083537This motherfucker can’t stop hexing himself
>>28808356933333333333333333333333333333
>>288085634You've "got it all wrong"... "this" is no longer a "martial arts" manga... it has already begun "scaling the wall" to "something more".
>>288085981It's been a long while, I think it lost the plot when the parents were returned. Yeah the ending was rushed, but things had gone wrong before that.
>>288083644The fucking 4.5 star review app kills me every time
>>288083528This was the dumbest fucking twist Sandrovich came up with so far.
>>288083511
So uuh, you guys know anyone who's strong I could fight?
>>288083644>>28808365920 hours of a 3.5 star Capoeira app....Why did Sadrovich have to turn these Purgatory guys into jokes?
>>288083471>after getting rid of my excess muscles, all I lost is my muscular strength That's a big deal, buddy
>>288084881Kek
>>288086173The muscles made him too strong
>>288083734Gay in a good way.
>>288084864His best friend, and that dickhead Saw Paing.
>>288083644>>288083659KEK
>>288085823Unfathomable…
>>288086093"So far" is correct
>>288083717Did Saw Paing help him break his right hand over and over to make it indestructible?
>>288083734Not quite on the same level as what Saw Paing did, but it's the same principle.
>>288086271They cloned Saw, took some of its skull and transplanted that onto Gaolangs arm while he was passed out from the pain of BREAKING HIS FUCKING FIST THAT WAS SHATTERED.Literally the only actually plausable thing to have happened.
>>288083838And there he is.
>>288083579Bros those purgatory guys are so funny! and that "king" guy has so much aura! I hope they become mainstays in the manga!
>>288083895actually does sound reasonable, they wont send in a fighter but hes allowed to do whatever he wants with his free time.
>>288086439What was the reason they stated behind not choosing Saw Paing again?
>>288086532they just said his employers weren't sending out fighters, no explanation given
>>288083327>volume coverSo this guy's fucked.
>>288086604Kuroki once appeared on an Asura volume cover and this guy is on Kuroki's level.
>>288085823
>>288086829
>>288086850
>>288085823 Gaolang vs Carlos is a realistic take on a Dexfag pulling out all the moves just to get hammerfisted each and every time, resulting in him having to cheese a win without the use of Dex
>>288085823the "real" "champions" tournament is this but it's the big guy saying "I'm sure to win because I only need to land *that move*"
>>288087062the "timing"?
>>288087471HAYAI
How many memes does this one fight alone have
>>288087572A lot and it's only going to get worse from here
>>288087649The memes rise and rise and then after a point completely stop becuase nobody really cares anymore.Are there even any memes about the current fortnite arc?
>>288087572He is one of the more meme coded characters it was a solid start
>>288087572He has more dedicated to him than any other character. No one has even posted the mini story of Trump threatening to deport Medel if he doesnt win yet
>>288087658Most of the current memes are retrospective or meta, and with a much more critical tone
>>288083359>I didn't "sense" any "hostility" behind that punch, so I couldn't dodge it>>288083388>*SWOOSH *SWOOSH *SWOOSH >Woah! you can't quite see it, but I'll tell you... that's pretty "high level", believe me>>288083579>LIVE LOLONG REACTION>>288083625>A "wall" not even Medel could "scale" easily
>>288085610I'm downloading my capoeira app from F-droid and github repos instead
>>288087658>>288087678You can pretty clearly track the mood via the OC we made for each fight/arc. Medel for example, despite the issues people had with this fight, got a lot of positive/loving memes and edits. Late KvP is when the MSpaint shitposts mocking the recurring tired cliches and patterns started getting popular.Around the Berserker Bowl and the Inside is when the eternal conflict of Anon vs Sandro began to get really popular.
>>288087863>Around the Berserker Bowl and the Inside is when the eternal conflict of Anon vs Sandro began to get really popular.Truly postmodern
>>288087549lel
>>288083644
>>288087658People like to complain about the hackneyed story but the real issue is that it just gets boring.
>>288086829>>288086850>WeaponYou're still "green", "me"
>>288088271>knifeHolda69this really put it over the top for me. kino
>>288083644why? genuinely what was sandro thinking with this?
>>288088408What's a fighting style that I haven't used in this manga yet
>>288088408>a TRUE genius only needs a reference and 20 hours>fails to consider the consequences of setting up this kind of worldbuildingWhy hasn't Koga just downloaded all the fighting apps? Is he retarded?
>>288088428Who do you think he is, the greatest martial arts prodigy in history?He's no Kuroki.
>>288083644Proto-Luohan
>>288083388What?
>>288087658 There's a couple of Fortnite memes. We've even been quoting a specific line of dialogue from the REAL Nicolas for other a month now. There's the Agito running away meme and the edit of Muteba as the Demoknight cutting off Ohma's head. I wouldn't say "We're back" because we're not but it's not a slogfest of no OC anymore
>>288088428Now I'm considering an alternative ch1-50 training arc where yamashitakazuo tells Koga he's got trainers lined up for him but Koga just tells him he's got some bussin ongod frfr ideas already and loads up like 17 apps then becomes as strong as Agito by chapter 48
>>288083831That's basically Kuroki's training, isn't it
>>288088428Why hasn't Chiba downloaded all the fighting apps? Copying moves is his thing.
>>288088801Parts of it, yeah.It's more like Saw Paing where it's localized on a specific part of the body though.
>>288088428I'm half expecting that Luohan's next dastardly scheme is to publicize the Shen files and train the next batch of "villains" on it
>>288088941Sharing knowledge for free...educating the next generation...that bastard!
>>288088941thinking about it isn't it bizarre that Shen never thought of just giving away his memories if it produces really strong people and his main motivation is to create a really strong person he can fightAlso why didn't he just clone bodies for himself without a brain so the whole killing morality question never comes up
>>288089037>thinking about itThere's your problem. Sandro makes up and retcons character motivations without any planning or care for consistency.Pic related. That's literally his face every time you dare to ask questions.
>>288089037 Luohan had to remind Shen why he exists, to give Shen a strong opponent, so Shen could give him access to the data bank holding his memories. This was also Luohan's master plan in getting Shen's memories btw, reminding why Shen cloned himself and keeps Luohan around in the first place and then asking him for it
>>288089266Unbelievable... what a dastardly villain
>>288083462>AIEEEEE, AGITO LEND ME YOUR POWER, THIS IS BASE MEDEL I'M UP AGAINST
>>288085642I think it was decent, but yeah the last part felt a bit off.I think Sako Toshio burned out, and I think the arc about that older fighter is about that.
>>288087572Tomorrow is gonna be an even bigger kekeryAnd then the 2nd fight is just a blatant display of autism.
>>288083595This would've killed Wakatsuki
>>288083855There's no rule that says you aren't allowed followup hits when they're down, is there?
>>288083579This dude is going to aura farm the whole event then lose the final match because it'll obviously be a tied set and kengan has to win.
>>288083644I enjoy how this arc already completely derails by the first couple chapters. Usually there's some progression, some warning signs, but this sets the tone of the tournament perfectly.
>>288086604He's a newly-introduced guy with a gimmick, fighting the fan-favorite character.He's fucked regardless of whether he gets a volume cover.
>>288083388
>>288083336They are relentlessly laying the hexes down on him, holy shit.
>>288084160>Only Alan the freshie has his back and is trying to cast wards on him...Truly, Alan carries the blood of The King of Mercy, Edward Wu in his veins.
>>288083471Don't you guys get it?By losing his muscular strength, he became the scrappy underdog and thus gained an advantage.
>>288090189Pretty sure there is, it got explicitly abused a bunch in later matches for both sides
>>288084530>>288090422I see, so they had to use cats as reference material.
>>288090496the old Sandorich special of changing or adding rules mid tournament.
>>288083625https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfBFSCjAeWc
>>288083644>>288083659The fact that he mastered capoeira in 20 hours aside, the fact that he made this decision on the spot by just looking up a fighting style with kicks is underappreciated comedy.
>>288088101
>>288083855If your whole life is boxing, would it be worth training your hand to the point where you can never stop making a fist if it means you can punch harder?
>>288083528Wait where did the fake one go then was it during this? >>288083499
test
>>288083838Why is Karo even here? Why does he care? Those two faggots still got fucked by Hayami. Toyo Electric didn't go under so its project must've gone through.
>>288083579I hope his epithet is just "king"
>>288085114I remember. Fuck that was stupid as hell, especially since we already have a million "X Emperor" epithets already. I really hope the unemployed weebs who screeched about "muh literal translation" found something to do with their japanese skills.
>>288083625That reminds me I haven't read fight class 3 in a while
>>288083644So who gave it a 1 star review?
>>288083734Didn't see rama hit the pole and thought gaolang was telling him to be careful about his chinese-japanese martial arts comment
>>288090887Me. Only managed to learn capoeira from it in 40 hours. That guy must be...strong
>>288090785They bonded in the stoic character extras.
>>288091003When did the extras take place? They looked like hypothetical little scenes. That's an unprecedented level of hack writing.
>>288090785The real question is why Karo brought along a random coworker
>>288091003Wasn't Karo sole reason for fighting the deal with Toyo Electric Co.? Why does he even care about martial arts fights? Shouldn't he be out of a job btw? Ashura's ending says nothing about Toyo's plans for his harbor being cancelled.
>>288090432So much for the friendly camaraderie of Purgatory fighters. Below the surface they're all scheming sorcerors
>>288091034If you've got a free plus one you might as well take a buddy.
>>288084934Kek
>>288091034He's one of the new generation, his biggest feat is fighting a dolphin into a draw.
>>288091034How would he even pitch that to a co-worker, and why if he's so stoic?>Hey bud I've got these extra tickets to this big fight?>What big fight?>Legally I can't tell you
>>288091054Just assume everything worked on. Saw's adoptive Father's village seems to be fine too and there's no mention of Toyo still pissing on him
>>288083537>>288083547>>288083558chapter themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32dV-H07M9I
>>288085610imagine how strong medel would be if he used the 4.4* app
>>288083581STOPFUCKING SAYINGJOBBER WORDS
>>288091025>unprecedented level of hack writingBelieve me, you haven't seen anything yet.
>>288087549lol
>>288087471
>>288089266That bastard knows no limits to his depravity.
>>288091819You guys were right about the whole manga being a fever dream. The 4komas bleed into the timeline, there are numerous retcons, the MC got brutally replaced, and now this guy went from "he's so strong he's lonely" to having his whole boxing figured out by Kaolan in a minute. It's like Sandro has dementia.
>>288091876Next dump is gonna be another big MEME day lmaooo. I'm laughing like a schizo just thinking what this arc has in store for us.
>>288084471After getting rid of those excess brain cells, your thinking will be faster than ever. All you lost is a bit of IQ
>>288090422What a high level exchange...!
>>288083625>wall>scale"It" was here all along...
>>288091958Reminder that we'll be getting Lolong, Eddie and El Quinto in rapid succession. None of them are prepared for what's to come.
>>288091757Unfathomable
>>288083634just play DMC5, get Ifrit and fill in the blanks by yourself
>>288090422
>>288083359This sounds retarded.>>288083471>I am sure to win because of my superior speed!Oh no, he's a gamer...>>288083601What is this fucking arm?>>288083644With a 5* app he would've eviscerated Shen.>>288083819>>288083824>>288083831>break fist>do training like this>somehow it doesn't completely fuck your hand
>>288091876This match is actually an "aberrant" timeline.
>>288088941Would a Huisheng ASMR app work?
>>288083537Post the gif! There are several? Yes
>>288083579I was going to say the "king" of frauds has arrived but the sad part is he's not even close to achieving that title in this series.You couldn't even call him the prince of frauds or a lord of frauds, he's like a lowly baron of frauds in the fraudulent hierarchy of omega.
I don't know spanish but I assume what Medel was actually looking at was reviews for the book, not an app. A 3.5 stars book which he ordered a physical edition of.
>>288083855This is such a fucking funny fight, it is unreal. I refuse to believe it was written with the intention of it being taken seriously by the audience
>he's like kuroki but with boxing instead of karate>except he's an inferior boxer than some femboys bodyguard>also he's not really dedicated to boxing he'll use other martial arts if he feels like it>so he's nothing at all like kuroki actually I don't know why I said that
>>288083579Where the fuck did this Nicolas go
>>288093456Maybe they're similar at being so strong they're lonely except Medel isn't even top 5 in Purg
I chalk some of the discrepancies in narrative down to the observers not knowing what they fuck they are talking about.
>>288088941the "lion" is running out of "excuses" to "release" the Shen "files"
>>288087658Chapter 50 aside, KvP was when the memes, edits and audience interest peaked.Things started breaking down after the final match where "it's so bad it's good" began turning into "it's so bad" but there was still hope that this was just a dud arc.The "tragedy" was the point of no return imo.After that fewer and fewer people gave a shit.Then when we went "inside" and saw "him" fight the threads came alive again because the level of retardation pushed us into "we're so back" territory.Since then it's been a consistent decline of interest where shit happens that would have been memed repeatedly if they had happened earlier in the story but the remaining thread goers have acclimated to the bullshit so it doesn't hit as hard.Spending so long on Namek island isn't helping matters.
>>288083378he's moving like a wobbly invincible edit
>>288083388>holy shit they both became a cloud of motion blur that's so FUARKING high level
>>288083436>>288083446surely there's a middle ground between auschwitz survivor and super heavyweight
>>288083579lolon's title isn't even king nicolas just calls all his friends kings cuz he's supportive of them like that
>>288083336>Alan is the only one who's right about this being a problem for Medel>Chink starts shitting on him for itI can tell this bench is gonna look really dumb over this tournament already. Nicolas seems funny at least.
>>288094399but he didn't call Yumigahama "king"...
>>288083644as funny as him downloading an app is the spanish text that i can make out clearly makes it seem he's more looking at a book site so he just googled "learn capoeira" and went to the shopping tab to pick the first result
I "arrived" too late...
>>288094459It's because he knows Yumigahama can simply imagine up an imaginary Nicolas to do it for him.
>>288083471what a circus
>>288083644I fucking forgot about this
Very bad fight, but fucking hilarious. Every other one is very bad but not even funny. Carlos is kino
>>288087527I like how this joke also accurately reflects the weight difference
Gaolang "the pillow fist" Wongsawatt
>>288094515>A gacha without a female castDead on arrival, literally only Dragon Ball is able to pull that shit off, even Bleach and Naruto have to whore out their female cast frequently
>>288094459He said "friends"
>>288090645man vs no god and man vs reality always get me
Why is this massive display of homosexuality so popular?
>>288095973Is it though?In the grand scheme of things, is Kengan actually popular?
>>288095973>so popularIt really isn't
>>288095973>homophobia in these hallsHimuro Ryo? Cast him into the pit.
>>288096016Maybe Asura, since that got some traction some years back with either how goofy the 3d anime looked or the fights being kinda okay. Omega is the bastard child that is locked in the attic to rot.
>>288095973You've got it all wrong!
>>288095973>homoJOBiatsk... next thing you'll be charging towards other anons with a knife
>>288083471>All I lost is my muscular strength>I've lost the offensive power of a heavyweightI thought you said all you lost was muscular strength?
>>288096331SHYYEEEAAA
>>288088101>look at the man vs technology panel>the guy seems to be holding a club or bat>the Huisheng kicks in>He's the Average Joe with the bat>I can see the panels, I can "hear" the dialogue>SAY THERE IS A MANI've been utterly and thoroughly mindbroken.
>>288093487This isn't technically an issue, at least yet. Ohma made the comparison after hearing his backstory as an uncontested champ. It is a bit weird to assume that it's still relevant since that was just public sports, but still.
>>288094459yumi has no friends
I'm a cook.
>>288097710
>>288083482>>288083491It all goes downhill here.Why did Sandro the hack make Gaolang solve the fight almost immediately.
>>288098140Peppino...
>>288098140Kek, bro cooked for like 2 years Cooked a nothing burger
>>288098140Kengan could use a cook as a fighter
>>288097588All he has is his dying little sister.
>>288098242What the fuck is the Stig doing here?
>>288098242I thought this was supposed to be a cooking manga, why does it have over the top "villain" designs?
>>288098491The author thought he was cooking with that
>>288083644imagine how powerful he would be with a book with a calcification of 5 stars
>>288098242"Evil" is on the move...
>>288098491Shokugeki no Soma is widely considered to fall off a cliff not even halfway through the manga, but the final arc is so bad that it doesn't fall so much as it hits the ground and then digs even further down.
>>288098705Sounds like we have a lot in common with those readers then.
>>288098242>>288098491>>288098705There was a surprising amount of "me" present for that storytime.
>>288098532Well he cooked too long, so now it's burnt
Should I read Kengan Omega? Ashura had a good ending
>>288099080Yes, it picks up where Ashura left off. Omega is a pretty top tier sequel.
>>288099080"I" am the only "Omega reader" "we" "need".
>>288099080Go back to the daily dumps (or just find somewhere to read online), read up to chapter 50, up to 56 if you can somehow stand what happened in 50 and come back to us, I assure you that you'll have developed a stance on Omega by the time you're done
>>288098705There was an annoying author's pet too, right? And the main character never succeeded at his goals?
>>288099192Yep.
>>288090645
>>288099080Well you know how the original Terminator is a well regarded movie in it's own right but the sequel is generally superior and considered one of the best movies of all time?I forgot what I was gonna say but robots are cool.
>>288099080I'm never sure if this is legitimate when I see it asked all the time, or one of "me" merely practicing his "apex of acting", but the answer is no if you are hoping for a well written continuation of Ashura with consistent, coherent themes or good fights.If you like watching trains crash, it's perfect for you.
>>288099225QRD? Would make for a good meetup of other "me's"
>>288099292Funny post
>>288099066considering that shokugeki pretty much "scaled the wall" the same way omega did... it was a "party" rather than a surprise. you could really tell that both fanbases were in perfect sync
"That" will arrive
>>288099177It's funny how the passage of time has finally made the horrors of chapters 55 and 56 obvious to everyone.Because, sad to say, that wasn't the case when those chapters first came out.A ton of people cheered for all the things that happened in those chapters. Look at all the positive responses to this post in particularhttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/201062157/#q201062311Or to any of the other embarrassing pages from that chapter that you can see in the rest of that thread.

>>288099361Ohhhhh boy...>Shokugeki no Soma is a fun cooking manga, set in a world-famous (albeit hilariously cutthroat) culinary school with obscene levels of influence>MC's dad is all but established as the best chef in the story, with the implicit endgoal that the MC will eventually beat his dad in a cook-off and surpass him>main heroine (most problems with the narrative can be directly or indirectly traced back to this character in some way) is a rival chef tsundere with high standards for food; MC has been trying to get her to admit out loud that his cooking is good since the second chapter or so>about 40% of the way into the manga, the main heroine's estranged and abusive father, who is basically food Aizen, shows up and instantly subsumes the entirety of the plot with a hostile takeover of the setting's school and administration>this is accompanied by a massive shift in tone and narrative direction, with a huge escalation of stakes>food Aizen rearranges the entire curriculum, gets most of the faculty and many of the school's strongest students in his pocket, and then explains he's going to use his newfound power to forcibly raise culinary standards across Japan, shutting down any restaurants that don't fit his exacting criteria>after a lot of pointless drama and meandering, this eventually has to be fixed by the main cast wresting power away from him by beating his faction of students in a competition>resolving this entire slog of a plotline takes as long as it took for the manga to introduce this character in the first place>arc's end signals a brief period of hope that the manga will finally begin to rerail itself... which is quickly dashed upon the introduction of quite literally the MC's long-lost adopted brother (aka El Hermano), who makes his debut by easily offscreening their mutual dad in a competition out of nowhere(1/2)
>>288100474>this is followed up by El Hermano infiltrating the school as an instructor, and then announcing his intent to marry the main heroine because reasons>this plotline ultimately concludes with the cast entering a world-famous international cooking competition led by the main heroine's estranged mother, for even MORE drama>which is crashed by El Hermano and his cadre of... dark chefs, who are wacky-looking underworld cooks that happen to use unorthodox (read: nonsensical) cooking methods (literal chainsaws and dynamite, in one case), because the author genuinely thought it was a cool idea and no one stopped him>coincidentally, the cooking assistant for the manga has long since gone on maternity leave, so the actual cooking sequences/presenations and dish concepts have gone to shit>El Hermano soon reveals that he has literal cooking nen superpowers that render him virtually unbeatable and tears his way through the remainder of the side cast, eventually losing to the MC anyways because he wanted it more I guess, fuck you>the final duel is between the MC and main heroine, except the latter's dish and the conclusion is offscreened because they ran out of chapters and the bonus epilogue had to be published in Jump Giga>whereupon it's revealed that El Hermano was, unbeknownst to everyone, actually the main heroine's long-lost half brother (entirely plausible that this was only done to kill the ship between the two characters, which had more chemistry than between her and the MC)>cue several year timeskip with a "where are they now" montage for the cast, after which we learn the MC and the main heroine are... still not in an actual relationship>manga ends with the MC never having directly beaten his dad, not having gotten the heroine to admit his food is good(2/2)
>>288100541>El Hermano was, unbeknownst to everyone, actually the main heroine's long-lost half brother (entirely plausible that this was only done to kill the ship between the two characters...i mean in japan thats a boost to the ship
>>288100672Yes, but the author must not have gotten the memo.
>>288100541>el hermano is heroines brotheruuh doesnt this mean the MC and heroine are also related>dynamie and chainsaw cookingkek got any pages showing this? Would love to see it
>>288100779>uuh doesnt this mean the MC and heroine are also relatedNo, El Hermano is adopted. He and the MC aren't directly related.>kek got any pages showing this?I wish I didn't.
>>288100779El Hermano isn't his brother by blood. El Hermano was spawned by Cooking Aizen getting taken advantage of by a random whore and knocking her up unknowingly. By sheer coincidence, he would later be found by the MC's dad who was the gay crush of Aizen in school too btw, and get mentored by him.However, the MC's dad had to go back home to his actual family and just didn't bother even trying to formally adopt this talented kid he had found and bonded with, and just fucked off, which caused him to schizo out and eventually led to the El Hermano arc.
>>288095973>massive display of homosexualityYou've seen nothing yet>>288099080RUN ANON, DON'T LOOK THIS WAY, NO FUN CAN BE FOUND HERE, BE HAPPY SOMEWHERE ELSE, THERE MAY STILL BE HOPE FOR YOU
This is itThis is the sequence of chapters that traps in the new prey.
>>288085142Heh
>>288087658That comic were there was a gap im the gap.
>>288084443 they always have been designated retards
>>288100541I've never even read this manga but I remember all the butthurt caused by him having this super power out of nowhere. That being said I never knew the hero never got to achieve any of his goals
>>288083471that sure reminds me of someone..
>>288084640GET OUT OF MY HEAD
>>288100474marvelous
>>288101803Got an edited version where he sticks his fist out before he charges into him? You know, like pre-initative?
>>288101894I think you're referring to that Kuroki vs. Rei one, someone should have it.
>>288100474>>288100541All those amazing Tosh character designs are wasted on this dogshit manga.
How much longer until the next 3 chapters get dumped?
>>288102229
>>2881022295 gaolangs.
>>288102229Around 7 Gaolangs ackshually.
>>288101909I didn't know if it existed, but I wanted to see one.
>>288102229give or take 9 Gaolangs
>>28810222911 Gaolangs at least
>>288090645kek. i am still anxiously waiting for the sink reveal
>>288102457Same, this is fucking bullshit. Itagaki does the most nonsensical thing and then blueballs everyone>Someone DOUBTS Yujiro of all people>Instead of slapping the shit out of the guy, goes out of his way to prepare something for him>Comes back with something covered with a sheet>Might be a sink of all thingsLike why? Why did he do this? What did he mean by this? I AM GOING INSAAAANNEEEE
>>288100541But why did they end the series this wayWho comes off better out of this
>>288098491This was discussed in earlier threads too, but while the series got bad much earlier, the food consultant left for maternity leave and thus the manga went off the rails with magic bullshit.It's also possible the artist got burned out and started phoning it in due to how lackluster the foodgasms etc. became.
>>288102535yeah.I think that it will either be some hardcore torture device, which he will tank. or, even more likely, some mundane everyday object, like a sink, which he will begin to use while spouting complete nonsense about what "strength" is.or maybe a mix of both? honestly I don't know, im going insane from the wait too
>>288102573except the writer said he wanted to do it from the start
>>288102724Do you trust everything hacks say?
Under the cloth is an urn filled with yujiros ashes.The rest of rahen will be the world coming to terms with the death of the strongest creature.
>>288102724And Isayama said AoT ended the way he wanted too
>>288097588He has a girlfriend
>>288102855except he said it didn't
>>288102855That one's actually wrong since he just recently came out to say that he changed the ending due to pressure. So yeah, go figure.
>>288102799I trust the hacker known as 4chan
>>288100541What the hell does winning a cooking duel mean? It's like hopelessly subjective.Blind testing by judges that say "hmmm I guess this one's better"?
>>288102862>Yumi has a fangirlWonder how she feels about his extended humiliation ritual with Koga
>>288102943The one who can make the other cum more semen.
>>288102943It's not even blind.But these judges are very good at their job.At least until the corruption seeps in and then the main cast needs to make them cum so hard that they kneel in defeat and admit the food was better despite being given fuck you money to say otherwise.
"It" has "begun"
