>>288103048I relate to this cabrone in the bottom panel
>>288103048don't be a petty bitch
>>288103107Oh wow, I can almost follow the motions Gaolang is making.
>>288103048Dude went from "Fuck yeah, this is what I live for!" to "Fuck off my property, upstart" real fast
>>288103061Lolong is like a human fortune cookie what the fuck are you talking about you tiny poser.
>>288103187la criatura!
>>288103031>>288103048so you call it "underground" or "metro" in your country?
>>288103099>that look of pure "oh fuck what did I get into" on carlos' facekek
Chapter 64: Round Two
>>288103070I love how slavishly supportive Liu is. Truly best boy.
>>288103198>>288103209>>288103223so much for "let's fight to the death"
>>288103236GAOBROS?????
>>288103223>that middle panelLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>288103136kek, that middle panel face
>>288103285Kazzy...
>>288103275Quick. Someone post that edit. You know the one!
>>288103177damn, this page looks shitty comparing it to the older stuff. what happened?
>>288103320>we accepted their terms and knew full well what the rules of the foght were>how are we to accept these results when our fighter just forgor the rules
>>288103190>tiny>He's not actually sitting in the background, he's just in Terashi's mental pocket.
>>288103320>the VIP room gives you the worst view of the fightWhat did Toyoda mean by this?
>>288103223Why did I ever believe this arc had a chance to be good again?
>>288103341Who the fuck is this skinwalker wearing Yamashitakazuos visage...
>>288103236>It was then that he knew he had fucked up
>>288103070>I don't like talking about "what ifs"Get this guy a vampire wife
>>288103209>>288103223>Had like 5 full seconds to react>Still leans himself down causing the lossNever took Gao seriously from this on forward. What a stupid mistake. You can't even pin this on>muh alien purgatory rulessince ringouts are basic shit
>>288103331So he just walks everywhere barefoot?His feet must be so dirty...
>>288103294surely our hero will catch up to the "legends" soon, right?
>>288103275>>288103306YES PLEASE POST THE EDIT
Chapter 65: The Falcon's Identity
>>288103285Can Kazzy close his mouth a bit you don't have to be that shocked at everything.
>>288103404Gaojobber is out, surely our superhero Lihito can rescue the situation.
>>288103393so that's roloni've heard the name before.
>>288103310>HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH>AHAHAHAHAHRight past them he saysHAHAHHAHAHHAAAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAhahaha
>>288103285>Who would have thought ringouts would affect a match?????????????????????????
>>288103350ENTER
>>288103285Raian is right though.
>>288103310Any day now, for sure.
>>288103451I'm honestly not sure what I'm looking at, is his skin peeled back and that's just bone?
>>288103331>Don't worry, Gao won't be broken by bullshit rulingsI don't think that's the concern here.
>>288103236Tbh this could have been permissible if not for the next fucking fight
>>288103426didn't muteba get those eye implants that let him see? or did I forget something
>>288103485He has really ugly claw hands.
>>288103485Bandage wrap around a hand that's been purposefully fucked up to end up like a goofy ninja oni
>>288103530SHHHHYYYEEEEAAAAA
>>288103509>>288103523Is this two mirror matches in a row?
DONE
>>288103088Ok, I'm done joking. Genuinely, WHY are there name boxes for characters that we knew for hundreds of chapters?What is the reasoning, the motive, the explanation for this choice?
>>288103568thanks OP
>>288103566Yes, and it keeps going. Even if it first appear to not be the case.
>>288103480Omega Ren is such a downgrade.He got kicked out of the bishonen federation between the two series.
>>288103070Nicolas pay attention
>>288103566I think you can count on one hand the ones that aren't and you won't use all fingers.
>>288103310Goddamn I hate this chungus faggot. What a fucking stupid cardboard cutout.
>>288103467>>288103500>>288103542>>288103568so is this guy some ninja cosplayer? honestly it looks so bad that it loops back to being incredibly amusing
>>288103467>>288103480>>288103489It's a good thing this report is being given to Nogi and his secretary and not the actual fighters.
>>288103576I'll leave it open to interpretation
>>288103306>>288103413We all know who the real winner was.
>>288103307I've worked with artists for several years and this looks like not having enough time, to me. Only the very highest priority things got done.
I will say this, if Carlito wasn't such a skellington he could easily beat Kaolan without the gay ring out bs and I say this as a Kaolan fan
>>288103630Yes, he literally read some ninja manga and decided to larp as one.>>288103576Just a running gag at this point.>>288103665>Everyone knows scoreboards never lieWill never not make me laugh.
>>288103223At the time I thought this was smart writing to set up the antagonists.
>>288103153>Medel's POV
>>288103285Man Kazzy's brain damage took hold WAY faster than I remember it...
>>288103285Okubo saying what we're all thinking
>>288103275Awww
>>288103692Arguably, if Lolong just killed himself at the end, they could've won.
>>288103713Go back to larping as Guts, Raian.
>>288103665thanks, agito
>>288103730heh, that's a funny image. Purgatory had too many worms on their side so they won by mass suicide.
>>288103665>Didn't even need to ask for this to be posted because two "me" already didPerfect sync boys.
>>288103341>just fucking lost with one of your best fighters>how lucky! the power of friendship!?
>>288103350ENTEEERRRRRRR I actually don't remember what happens, I'm looking forward to this
>>288103372Is that chuuni Joseph Joestar in his prime
>>288103223where did this liu go
>>288103814>he "forgot"Prepare to be "sickened" anon
>>288103730Based on how ohma kept pulling new tools out his ass he would have used Kure Style: Copy on lolongs suicidal intent and he would kill himself first to secure the kengan win but hanafusa would still have revived him afterwards.
>>288103847>gets his arm dislocated backwards>says fuck you and uses a Niko technique to put it back into place
>>288103451gross
>>288103382It's funny how a fight featuring an unironic naruto LARPer ended up being the best fight in in the KvP
>>288103839He got traumatized because his boyfriends kept dying.
Hassad soon.
>>288103607Naidan/Ryuki, Waka/Fei, Liu/Nitoku, Ohma/Lolong, Okubo/Terashi, exactly a finger
>>288103981You can probably even discount Naidan/Ryuki due to worm adjacency but I guess Naidan's khuch is unique.
>>288103566boy you're not gonna believe the third round
>>288103285New reader here. Ryuki with glasses feels like housewife Ohma. Massive aura loss.
>>288103981Waka/Fei is a Tiger mirror
>>288103265Expected. Gotta make the poorgatory kids club seem credible.
>>288103981fuck, guess I was wrong.
>>288103568Thanks OP. As promised, I'll be dropping a poll after each match to see what anons thought of it, and also a final one after the tournament.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeqR0zdZAbm7ELIhoFGRhurh5NRxy-nZ33aDqzW8xJP6mfgXg/formResponse
>>288104019Yeah, he looks like he belongs in a university.
>>288104030>Forced to do a ringout and only won because Gaolang is a retardIt's the complete opposite anon. And it's all going to be like this.
>>288103223BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHACWIWHSNWKAYZYACWJAJAHfay
>>288104030winning by ring out after kaolan beat him to a pulp doesn't exactly make them look good
>>288104053>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeqR0zdZAbm7ELIhoFGRhurh5NRxy-nZ33aDqzW8xJP6mfgXg/formResponse>Formulário sem títuloHeh
>>288103294>Narushima Koga who the fuck is this? is he a new character or something?
>>288104061>he looks like he belongs in a universityJust like a "certain someone"...
>>288103236>Carlos's fucking face
>>288104100I guess that's why the name boxes are there, makes sense if they're going to introduce random mooks every chapter
>>288103236This is such a shit way to end the first fucking fight, like you can do this if its getting close and purg is behind on wins but doing this in the first match is bullshit
>>288103275Someone do it the edit we need it now
>>288103498>the next fucking fightWhy? That's like one of the better ones for this arc.
>>288103018he's got the facial profile of some type of falcon or other bird of prey
>>288104019>>288104061He looks like he belongs in my bed.
>>288104225You know how the human body becomes more immune to diseases the more you expose it to them and it survives?Yeah it's kinda like that.
>>288103070nicolas now's not the time
which was worsekaolan losing by ring out or lihito dying from ninja aids
>>288103223HE SAID ITHE SAID THE LINE
>>288103048Carlosbros....This is pathetic....
>>288103265Your winner, ladies and gentlemen
>>288103944That's the best part. If you're going to have a colourful cast of characters, make them colourful. Imagine if Street Fighter was infested with boring stoics.
>>288103099The “match” is clearly over at this point
>>288103576There's no way I'd remember Misasa's name without the boxes.
>>288104323The first one, mainly because it clashes with all of Medel's characterization and given motivationIt's just thematically weird to have a supposed five belt champion who's Literally Kuroki squeak out a win on a technicality with his face smashed in
>>288103341From what I remember, Kazuo only decides, like three times, which fighter to send out. The rest of the time he's just WWWOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHH!
>>288103382Fuck yeah, I love the Falcon.
>>288104323Ringout. Ninja aids alone didn't beat Lihito, it took him getting choked as well. Getting ringouted is just embarrassing after you basically commanded the fight.
>>288103223Jesus Christ
>>288103307the anatomy and specially proportions are all sorts of messed up, but even with those being ignored (as there's all sorts of impactful manga artwork with bad muscular or skeletal anatomy) the composition is kinda of a mess. There's no sense of flow to the body (generally to give a strong sense of motion you want some underlying main curve or line to inform the placement of bodyparts so it gives the feel of "direction") so gaolang has his neck is working against the twist of the torso, which is working against the tilt of the hips, it looks like a forced pose rather than the natural result of putting your whole strength into throwing a punch. This coupled with the tiny head, which is much less processed in terms of digital effects than most of the body, gives off the impression that daro ran out of time and went with a first draft of the page where he just fixed the stuff that was blatantly off model instead of working out all the design aspects
>>288103236What a humiliation to Carlos after that set up. All this says is that he was just lucky that he fought before Kaolan showed up and if not, then Kaolan would have crushed his legend.
>>288104323First one. Medel had a last minute change of character. He went from "I'm seeking a good fight" to "This is my territory, you don't belong here" in a span of a chapter.
Is Kuroki still the STRONGEST in Nu-Kengan?
LOSING BY RING OUT IS IN THE FUCKING RULES, STOP SHITTING ON CARLOS
>>288104474Liu...
>>288103665The best.
>>288104469no, it's "the connector" now
>>288104355Our HEROOOOOOO
>>288104323The second one was pretty good in my opinion.
>>288104490>HorsegitoHeh>>288104469Shen is. Kuroki didn't even bother finishing their fight even though this man is leading a global threat.
>>288104490Centaur Agito is my favorite character
>>288104490I thought Koga went to fight Gaolang
>>288103236>>288103275Sandro's greatest flaw: Trying to have his cake and eat it too. You can see the inner conflict Sandro was having throughout this fight. The plot needs Gaolang to lose so Purgatory looks like a threat, yet Sandro also wants Gaolang to win because he loves his Ashurababbies. Medel starts off as a god, then quickly becomes a joke. Gaolang is winning, then boom, ringout. Characters in universe think Gaolang won. A simultaneous victory and defeat, and Medel has to suffer for it.
>>288104469No. Arguably he's not even top 3 anymore because he's featless.
>>288103223>>288103236Genuinely embarrassing that a public sports fighter like Gaolang didn't anticipate a potential ring-out And Carlos ends up looking like an absolute chump>Literally Kuroki and still needs to bait a ring-out if he wants to win First fight of the tournament and NO ONE looks good coming out of it
Everyone, stay back.
People remember The Falcon because of his ninja larp, but I remember that he also has like three different Baki's characters gimmick in his fighting style
>>288104301
>>288104571Kuroki is the only one so far who dealt some form of damage against Shen besides Joji slowly killing Shen's liver with alcohol
>>288103236
>>288104524My favorite part of kuroki fighting shen is that kuroki is literally an assassin by trade and he knows shen needs to die but when they actually fight neither of them are going all out because sandro doesn't want either of his favorite toys to lose.That and the fact his two accomplices who are supposed to be the absolute strongest do fucking nothing during it all.Lolong pretends to knife fight a jobber and Agito and Yan literally just stare at each other for like three chapters.
>>288104581El Individuo Competente...
There aren't enough reaction panels of characters freaking out over the most mundane things. I can't read this.
>>288104607the long con
>>288103568This fight is just like Gaolang vs Carlos, where Lihito gets his big comeback after years of training and refining just to end up losing. I wouldn't say Falcon even looks good with his win because he needed poison to put down Lihito, so that's Sandro robbing a Purg of a straight-forward win, again It's only slightly less shit because Falcon is entertaining enough gimmick character and not a completely embarrassing character like Carlos
>>288104193>This is technically a win for Carlos
>>288104490He wasn't a "striker" but... a "grappler" all along?This "meme" was ahead of it's time
>>288104596I'm guessing you mean Yanagi and that dude that Yujiro hyped up and then gave the chop to, but who is the third one? I haven't reread these chapters since they came out and nothing else pops to mind at the moment.
>>288103382nasty ass toes, did he bring the flower petals himself? freak
>>288103048Love how he changes his attitude as soon as he got his shit pushed in.
>>288103576I used to think Kaolan name was Gaougao, the boxes help
>>288104490top tier old oc, ROFL
>>288103461"wrecking" must be something more distinct in japanese
>>288104490Post the one before this one, the one with the Flicker Jobs, I love it, I still say flicker jobs to myself from time to time.
>>288104301ok koga
>>288103451Eww
>>288104959There's also Falcon just straight up going to fight Kuroki while still at death's door so that was cool as fuck.
>>288103568Thanks
>>288105251
Medel and Alisa the new ref's bios.Please note the fact that Sandro actively rewrote him for being "too strong".
>>288103153>he's not dodging thatHow the fuck does he even have the time to finish the sentence before the punch?Are characters standing perfectly still while they're not on panel?
>>288103198So this is what Liu meant"Just defeat him with rule, lol"At this point I wouldn't surprise if someone kills himself to win
>>288103307Daro's effort is generally proportional to the declining quality of the mangaIf anything the story got worse at a faster pace than the art
>>288105404Talking is a free action. You see it in all action manga. It's especially prevalent in Hajime no Ippo.
>>288105397>She has no motif in particular, but I made her a woman because the Kengan Matches' referees were mostly musty old men, so I had to shift the testosterone balance for the competition.based
>>288103236Honestly, extremely pathetic showing by Carlos after the shittalking. Doesn't look good for Purgatory if this is their start.
>>288105397What the hell did he mean by 'too strong'? Gaolang even had the muay thai as an out to being outboxed
>>288103382AIIIIIEEEEEENINJA? NINJA NANDE!?
>>288103426Complete fucking bullshit by the way that he can smell one guy in the stadium from such a distance. Actual superpowers are less bullshit than this.
>>288104790They should have just killed Seki rather than do this to him.
>>288103480Will we ever get a reaction from Ren towards Masaki?
>>288103981>Okubo/TerashiWell, they're both clowns. I think it counts as a mirror match
Gaolang was so shook by this he forgot Lolong's background until the end of the tourney
>>288105397>too strong to winIt begins...
>>288105397>>288105631Too strong to even be written....
>>288103393Chuuni battle, START
>>288103400I'm sure dedicated feet cleaners are part of his entourage.
>>288105397Make sure to also note how Sandro wants to be suuuuuuper realistic with his weight classes, and how hard he struggled trying to depict the concept of a lightweight guy being stronger than a heavyweight. Very important, it shows how devoted Sandro is to portraying weight classes as very realistic and key to match outcomes.God, the fact that Sandro decided immediately that a Purgatory character being outright stronger than his Kengan mirror couldn't possibly be allowed is such a ridiculous tell for the entire rest of the series.
>>288103542Holy shit LOCK THE FUCK IN LIHITO
>>288104959Reminder that Sandro being too cowardly to commit to Kuroki of boxing Medel had a domino effect where it changed this fight too. Lihito was only supposed to lose to a ring out, but they couldn't do that two matches in a row, so it got changed. So instead of Gaolang being legitimately beaten and Lihito being tricked by a ring out(much more realistic than the boxing champion not realizing he was at the edge of the ring), we got the mess we did that makes EVERYONE involved look worse.
>>288105727Lucky bastards...
>>288103107>LETS FIGHTS AS BOXERS >Loses the jab exchange>NOW THIS IS THE REAL CARLOS MEDEL>Still loses >NOW I WILL GIVE IT MY ALL>Dies to muay thai
>>288105397>He could have put up a better fight>If he wasn't thrown off his gameBut he wasn't thrown off his game. What? Nothing happened. Gaolang just said he "read his moves" and then began to low diff him.
>>288103363>>288103372This reminded me of like a fighting game round start intro.>Lihito walks in from the right side, punches a few times, says some generic quote>A swirl of petals appears on the left side and then suddenly the Falcon is there as he does a pose and says a generic line>Announcer says some nonsensical line like 'KENGAN FIST EYES! THE WORM DESCENDS THE WALL! CEO ONE! READY... FIGHT!'
>>288103031I don't remember, why did all the champions refuse to fight Medel but agree to fight Gaolong and let him become the unified boxing champion or whatever.
>>288103187Dios mio, el lagarto seco hambriento...>>288103223>This isn't real combat.>This isn't real combat.>This isn't real combat.>>288103236>Both end up seeming like absolute clowns>>288103247>YEEEEAAAAAAAADamn, this is much worse than I remember. It's funny though
>>288105966iirc Medel's booker was charging high fees and shit, while Gaolang was probably backed by the king who's all too glad to have him fight more.Reminds me of hajime no ippo where Takamura's unification campaign is slow as shit because coach wanted him to fight in Japan only.
>>288105946
>>288106024How would he have done in the KAT?
>>288105337i just love it
>>288103187Goalan turned Carlos into a basedjack...
>>288106051>"the man who blocked earth crouching dragon">"the man who hurt Waka">"the Inside tourist guide"
>>288106051The "on par with the legends" meme becomes even funnier when they call fucking CHIBA, a huge fucking loser who got folded in seconds a "legend". It's like being proud of a child for learning to walk and then still parading that achievement into his adult years.
>>288105337reminded me of this
>>288104402The problem, as people have pointed out before, is that Medel's characterization and personality was constantly being rewritten from chapter to chapter. Your Kuroki comparison would work if Medel's original fight-addicted "let's fight to the death" personality was his finalized personality, but that wasn't what he ended up being. Hell, we don't even see any of that bloodthirst and cockiness after this.
>>288104790It's genuinely embarrassing because we all know the only reason Sandro does this is to fill up his weekly page count. And to make it easier for him to write up fights, since he doesn't have to actually put in any work for thinking up interesting choreography that actually creates hype in an organic manner. Just have characters tell readers what is happening and force the hype.
>>288104355Just like Cohma!!!
>>288105397>Medel's fighting style is incomplete, and changes by the day.Is this Sandro projecting here? Is he actually talking about himself and his approach to writing?
>>288106158Sandro hates the show not tell genre
>>288105397>>288106184>you may see him even stronger if he has the chance to appear again>gets multiple scenes to highlight him changing his style, gaining back muscle, dropping capoeira, ect>literally never fights again, will probably get offscreened in Fortnite the way things are going for Purgatory characters
>>288105777I always take these character bio commentaries from Sandro with a huge grain of salt. It's clear he's not always being completely honest in them. As you yourself point out in your post, his commentary on Medel is just him bullshitting and doing damage control. Same with the recent Yuzaki character bio about trying to "save his honor". Same with lots of other character bios. He would even lie about the living status of characters in these bios, as was the case with Nicolas.
>>288105824 And then Julius gets Kengan their first win after fighting a version of himself with Niko Style: Redirection Kata as his Martial art. Which feels like a fevered hallucination since we are years after that and all Julius has done since is eat tremendous shit to Agito and is now locked into a ChatGPT written fight with Gilbert of all people
>>288106242"He may appear...""Maybe?""It's a mystery!!!!"Sandro is addicted to vagueposting. He always does this insufferable shit in these bios. One of these days, I'm gonna make a collage of all the instances of this sort of bullshit he writes in these bios.
>>288103236How I'd fix this fight>Kaolan can't oubox medel>But he decides to slug it out anyway, he overcommit and is heavily punished for it, but is finally able to hit Medel in exchange>He keeps at it, trade off is that he can land a hit in exchange for taking a couple in return>It becomes an endurance battle but Medel weight is working against him, he feels like he's starting to lose>Kaolan flashback is not about the god glow but training with Saw Pain for endurance>Basically Kaolan was the top for so long and was such a genius that he never got hit much so in the fight with Agito he went down pretty easily >His training was how to take hits instead of the god glow (it can merge both really)>Medel goes down>Kaolan comments on how if this was a ring fight he would lose by points, but since it's not, the weight difference worked against Medel and says that he laments that as his majesty sword he can't actually outbox the legend>Medel gets up but and their exchange continue, this time though, instead of taking a hit, Medel kicks>Cuts to his flashback and instead of capoeira he actually learned kick-box this time, and had actual training for it, with a friend who was a big name of kickboxing>Cut to a panel of his friend K'Od, he had completely surpassed his kickboxing master in just about three months>Because Medel is not only a genius of boxing but a genius of striking>However...>Kaolan unleashes his Muay Thai, and picks Medel apart>Medel just learned another style while Kaolan tailor made his Muay Thai into boxing, his Muay Thai is his own perfected and superior version of striking>Medel keeps getting pummeled until the edge of the ring>Pulls a ring out just like canon
>>288106242Still waiting for that Mukaku gaiden
>>288106317 Why did he even bother flirting with a Mukaku Gaiden idea when he quickly killed him off after introducing him? The creator of the Niko Style and he dies like a chump
>>288106314I missed you, pastebin anon
>>288103259>>288103265I don't necessarily hate the idea of Purgatory fighters winning by using Purgatory rules, but this should not have been the first match.The first match really should have been a clean victory through superior force. This just fails to make Purgatory feel like a real threat despite them winning.
>>288106432>The first match really should have been a clean victory through superior force. This just fails to make Purgatory feel like a real threat despite them winning.Can I ask you something? Are you a "green" new reader or have you "scaled the wall"? Your answer will change how I respond to what you said here.
>>288106454I'm still "green".
>>288106557Ah, I see. Thank you. If you had "arrived", then I would have posted some banter related to what you said. I didn't want to accidentally spoil anything.
>All of these people shitting on Medel for hexxing himself the entire fight>He still won My fuarking hero
>>288105397>I came up with a good idea but then i realized Gaolang might have to lose in a contest of strenght so i made the capoiera app ending insteD.
>then: I made Kuroki too strong so I decide to just make him beat the shit out of Rihito and win the tournament>now: I made Medel too strong so I nerf him to save Gaolang's face
>>288103223>>288103236Nobody looks good with this conclusion. Purgatory only wins because of a ring out. Medel got styled on easily. And Gaolang looks like a retard for not expecting this when he's a guy where rings matter for his normal ruleset. This set the tone for how KvP is going to go and it's a shit precedent.
>>288106879It's funny, isn't it? Sandwich rode to fame because of his willingness (and courage) to ignore safe battle manga tropes. He was praised for not having the usual "MC wills his way to victory regardless of the odds he faced" and let Kuroki win the entire thing.
>>288106024It will always be hilarious in me that he was actually really good in this game. Fat bro mopped the floor with several series mainstays.
>>288107041Same thing happened with Bob (another fat character) in Tekken 6 and Tag 2.IIRC he was the best character in T6 and one of the best characters in Tag 2.
>>288106276Not to mention Sandwich has seemingly forgotten that Toa does that whole redirection shit at all, as is evidenced by his 5 Nights at Ohma's fight.
>>288103467I miss that ass.
This manga is so queer.
I don't have any strong opinions on this fight one way or another, but I think it's funny a good chunk of anons are complaining Jose got hosed. One of the bigger complaints about Gao's fight against Agito, I remember, was that he was throwing pillow punches. Strength actually mattering here but anons complaining about it is amusing.
>>288105409Lol
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I don't care about nerfing Medel much because him beating Gaolang in a straight fight would be as gay as Misasa dominating Yumigahamaimo the problem was in deciding to make him so skinny in his conception
>>288107199Oh man Agito has a challengger
>>288105409>At this point I wouldn't surprise if someone kills himself to win
>>288103275Yeah it was Carlos.
>>288103285Kazzy do your fucking job.
>>288103310>Uncle, could you stop financing the enemy >Koga, the value is insane in this place >You better fucking eat the Falcon Wings bucket I got for you>Be good and I will get you a Toga Burguer and a Medel Margarita.
>>288103404Worst fight of the tourney by far.
>>288105409>At this point I wouldn't surprise if someone kills himself to winYeah... about that
>>288107488>Okubo vs Terashi out of nowhere

>>288103187HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this panel still kills me
>>288107977It's crazy how Ragnarok has gotten so dull that it doesn't even get hateposting like Omega, or any kind of cultural crossover like this anymore.
>>288108038Things used to be different with Ragnarok, Omega and, uh.. That Japanese combat tournament thing.Then they all shat the bed in different ways.
>>288103489>We don't know anything about him, but we know everything about him.>He was secretively famous for it.Huh?
Finally, we've scaled "the wall" and now all of the "edits" and "OC" I've been waiting for is flowing
>>288108049>>288107977>>288107963>Ragnarok, Omega and, uh.. That Japanese combat tournament thing.I remember that Baki Sumo Tournament, Ragnarok (Shiva Fight?) and Purgatory were happening at the same time and there were actually some cool memes
>>288103048Have a Mexican and Thai ever duked it out on a big stage before?
>>288107996>>288103190You loved him at this point. Remember that. He was an "unknown quantity"
>>288108038The last relevant thing I read about Ragnarok is that Buddha tried to flirt with the Valkyrie, but the FMC is a bit crazy and wants to free her husband/boyfriend who is imprisoned or something like that.
>>288107682The only person who is realistically broke is Toku2 and that's just because he doesn't want to accept that he's better off as a fighter than a novelist Every other fighter is pretty much set for life thanks to the Underground scene apparently being run by exceptionally generous Employers and there's never a short supply of Underground Orgs anyway. If SiR is anything to go by then it's super easy to kickstart one and SiR is about the female side of Underground Fighting. Shit man, Ohma doesn't even need to fight in the Kengan Matches, he could just live it up "spreading his genes" among the Kure Bitches
>>288103934Did you just flip me the bird!?
>>288108148>If SiR is anything to go by then it's super easy to kickstart oneIt isn't. They lucked out because the long haired one has connections to a major Yakuza syndicate which helped smooth things over and provide a venue and other benefits. One is a cop who got a lot of pull within the force to procure fighters. And the MC herself is a fighter with connections to their own Hanafusa.The whole point about the promotion that the MC was fighting in at first, and how the early fights of their own organization went is that they were a dime-a-dozen and not racking in much of anything.
>>288108331Sandro stopped caring about the difficulty of kickstarting an Underground Org and maintaining it the moment he revealed the Yakuza girls Dad was best bros with another Yakuza Boss who secretly looks after her, so as far as I care it's actually super easy and more people should try it
>>288108393>so as far as I care it's actually super easy and more people should try it>the moment he revealed the Yakuza girls Dad was best bros with another Yakuza Boss who secretly looks after her,If you can't see how these two sentences directly contradict each other I think you just let yourself get mindbroken by the other shit SiR actually executed on poorly.
>>288108148It's so bizarre how all these fighters seem to be "bound down" with all their millions of dollars and billionaire employers who "owe them.">"You don't understand! The Inside!!">"What about it?">"Huh?">"What about 'The Inside'?">"Hey look, the next match is starting, I wonder who it will be!"
>>288108425You trying to start a "party" here or somethin'?
>>288108148Lui lives on a dumpster.
>>288105966Gaolang was also the same
>>288108492That's his own damn fault
>>288108458I just want to call out bad writing when it's actually applicable. The main cast having some amount of coincidence in their favor is perfectly fine for any story. No different than Kazzy working for a company founded by his ancestor's own sponsor in a previous kengan cycle. It's a matter of execution and how the ladies of SiR established their promotion was handled well enough. The real problems stem from the Star children plotline which was always pants on head retarded and only got worse.
>>288108038Ragnarok was fated to fall off. Imagine if Kengan vs Purgatory was the whole story. That's just doomed. KvP was smart enough to have some wild results too. Ragnarok was the same old back and forth and the results became really predictable.
>>288103236KWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB
>>288104490The zeno addition is kino, absolutely kino
>>288022414I'm in an identical situation. I need to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
>>288103153>Nicolas caught the butterfly and let it go without harming itIs this anything?
>>288103223Liu...
>>288103236? Carlos is fucking dead
>>288108600Pretty much. With it getting later and later, it suffers the issues that format inherently has and can't escape, like that matches get more and more predictable until the teams need to win trade in order for it to not end early(which everyone knows none of these ever will, it will be tied going into the last round).And it also suffers from the Sandro issue of trying to do PLOT while the tournament is going on, which is predictably an absolute boring, convoluted mess that makes the worldbuilding sillier as we go when it was already pretty ridiculous and reduced the gods to essentially OCs with the same names.
>>288103275>This could've happened to any of usNot to a beast like me

>>288108127>at this point.Well, duh. We don't know much of anything about him yet at this point. Hard to love or hate anyone when you don't know anything about them. We don't know anything about others like Fei or Jurota either.So far, Lolong has only had a handful of lines of dialogue. No patterns about his behavior or personality so far have emerged. But soon enough, I remember I began hating him. And it happened pretty early. In fact, I'm proud to say I was one of the most early and vocal Lolong haters.

>>288104959Yeah I hated it. Also hated the almost Jiraiya tier training as well
>>288103568Thanks op
>>288108127>>288109307I hated Lolong after he cucked us out of the ending of Nicolas vs Akoya.
>>288107977I stopped reading this after raiden vs The Indian. Shame I never made it to Tesla.
>>288108561What is this from?
>>288109400Oh yeah. That moment pissed me off too, as you can see in the first post in this screencap that I wrote back then.BTW, the second post in this screencap isn't my post. I just wanted to include it to show how people were getting fed up of the tournament and wanted things to go back to the pre-CH50 days.
>>288103048Nice internal jobber monologue.
>>288107347>JoseGot confused for a moment there.But see, if you establish that Gao has shit punches, you can't really go back on that later.
>>288106432I think establishing this first is probably a good idea.
>>288107347>Strength actually mattering here but anons complaining about it is amusing.Oh, don't worry, you'll realise Sandro's reasoning gets completely contradicted by himself by the fourth match.
>>288107347If Sandro committed to weight class, muscle mass, and strength mattering, it would probably be received better. Keep in mind the way it let Gaolang no sell everything Medel did and devastate him with glancing jabs, for the next upcoming fights as you "scale the wall" towards the rest of "us".
>>288109571Not when you also establish that Carlos is a master boxer.It should've been a proper goofball who pulled this off, not a fighter who was compared to Kuroki.
>>288106432>>288109596With as little spoilers as possible, originally it was supposed to be a different upcoming match that ended in a Purgatory rules technicality win to establish that.However, Sandro randomly regretted making Carlos too strong and literally nerfed him mid fight by turning him into a capoeira memer instead of an untouchable boxing Kuroki who could box above his weight class, and made him the UNDER PURGATORY RULES PURGATORY GLADIATORS NEVER LOSE guy instead. >>288105397
>>288103568Lel, I love the Falcon. One of my favorite purgatory retards
>technically this was a win for kaolan
I will forever be fucking baffled as to why Sandro changed the series whose entire premise was "no holds barred fights, everything is allowed even knives if you're sneaky enough" into ruleslawyering BS "you may have beat the tar out of me and caved in my orbital bones in but your arm touched the floor first so I'm the winner"
>>288109750In itself, an arc where the gang has to fight under rules they aren't used to isn't a terrible idea as a premise to make them the underdogs without a lot of powercreep. However, instead of Purgatory exploiting the rules forcefully like actively throwing someone off instead of this, or abusing down counts to recover, provoking the opponent into committing fouls, ect, the rules are treated as these last second excuses to deem the person who was never in control of the match for a second the winner, so Sandro can assure us that the Kenganvenger won the moral victory, but now there's technically another win on the scoreboard for Purgatory, and another step towards making this shit last 13 rounds. Now for a complete Kengan domination KO victory!Not to mention, a gimmick arc like that should be a side thing. It'd have been perfect for Koga and Ryuki for example, not as something they spent the first dozens of chapters building up to and then lasting for nearly 100.
>>288109596I think it'd work better if you remove the sudden "FUCKING NORMIES REEEE" seethe and attributed the ringout to Carlos' superior experience in boxing letting him goad Gaolang to the edge and pull off a clinch. Boxers can be pretty damn tricky and rules lawyering.
>>288109926Slow down there, you've already put more thought into it than Sandro.
>>288109596>>288109926You can also make the fight itself more even. Instead of it being a desperation move that he had zero chance to win without(thanks Sandro for making that so clear, can't have any doubt how cool the Kengan guy is >>288103209 ), have them be more evenly matched, but Medel swallows his pride and plays dirty by going for the ring out and guaranteeing the win, instead of indulging his own desires to box Gaolang to the end.You'd establish Purgatory as legitimate threats, but also show how dedicated they are to winning for the organization, to tie back to the part about some of Kengan lacking conviction, which makes them seem like even greater threats if they'll do whatever it takes to win in the bigger picture.
>>288109750They could've settled this another way
>>288108049>That Japanese combat tournament thingTenkaichi? It still had some good fights, but the final match of round one was obvious jobber vs obviously important character and it went exactly as expected.
>>288103576This>357768is relevant, trust me.
>>288104490this one always annihilates me because I get so caught up in its pace, I forget CENTAURGITO is coming. fuck
>>288105397Too strong... for what exactly, Sandro? This random mexican boxer is not going to be some omnipresent plot relevant figure you would have to struggle to write around later if you made him "too strong". What exactly would the problem be with him being that strong, beyond that a Kenganvenger might take a legitimate hard loss?
>>288103236Gaolang has the same face here he had when Karo found him together with Saw Paing.

>>288104490Carlohino Gracie always makes me crack up because it genuinely feels like a fake name from Kengan or Baki for a BJJ guy
>>288105170Honestly they should have just translated it as "leg breaker" which is what we call those people in English
>>288105397>I made him an actually strong character but that would have involved the Kengan character getting some boo-boos so I rewrote the entire thing even if it didn't make any senseThis is the entire series in a nutshell, isn't it?
>>288103630Just like everything else about Hayabusa, "Have at thee" is wrongly translated.He says "Nin" in the raws
>>288105397>I wrote Carlos to be stronger than Gaolang, but still wanted my kenganprincess to win, so I retconned him into a weak retard>I had no idea and don't care, I just thought a bit of fanservice might help salesSandrobitch just might be the most cynical, least passionate man in the whole manga industry. Even the most money-minded editor has nothing on him. Though it works on the monkeys >>288105459 it seems.

>>288108038For all the shitposting about Omega being written by Claude, Ragnarok is really as close to an AI written manga as you can get. Every single match is written the exact same way with the same barely distinct character archetypes (who are just generic anime OCs) going through the exact same "safe" plot beats and fight structures.

I like how Medel kept changing from a dried emaciated husk into a heavyweight and everything in-between throughout this fight.
>>288103568I really like this fight, I found the misdirection with the tennis ball at the start to be actually clever
>>288111241It's one of those little hints that Sandro likes to leave around to make you realize that everything after chapter 49 is all a comatose Koga's dream. The story making less and less sense as it goes along and and the art quality degrading are signs that his condition is deteriorating. It will be revealed any day now.

Everything else plays out the same with Koga scenes removed.

>>288103209>>288103223>>288103236Dear /a/, i would like to hear your opinion on this solution i have for this fight. For context I read ashura last month and caught up with omega this week so this is all fresh.I get the feel that the issue the author had is he wanted to make a scary villain but also couldn't make Kaolan feel bad because i assume he had a lot of fans since he's an established character.Right now this makes both of them look bad, especially Carlos.My proposal would be:>Carlos completely mogs Kaolan when they're boxing>Kaolan cannot land a single punch on Carlos and keeps taking damage>It looks like Carlos is gonna win>But then Kaolan starts using kicks, which is pottery because in his fight with Agito he only started using kicks later on in the fight>Carlos, being a pure boxer, is thrown off by the kicks, he doesn't know how to cut them and struggles with dodging them>Kaolan seemingly gives up on punches and only throws leg kicks>Combined with Kaolan's height advantage, this gives him better reach>The damage to Carlos' legs reduces his mobility and makes him too focused on his lower body>Suddenly Kaolan throws a big special punch, KO's Carlos, partly because of the weight class difference>The irony is that Carlos was defeated by a punch from a kickboxer>Kaolan wins but leaves the ring fuming, because he knows he was defeated in terms of punches>Pottery, it rhymes with the time Agito won but admitted to himself that Kaolan was the better boxerThis way Kaolan wins and makes his fans happy, but Carlos still looks like the better boxer. And this showcases the importance of weight classes. And it gives Kaolan a reality check, he still has room for improvement, even in boxing/punching.
>>288114151This is like when "Jackie Chun" dipped his toe into the side of the ring to avoid ringout.
Every chapter we get closer to the fourth round and it scares me because that was when omega truly mindbroke me.People can point to chapter 50 or tigerbowl or the "tragedy" but "his" performance in that fight was when it became some sort of sick parody of the series to me.
>>288114752Toriyama is just a cool dude.
>>288114812The whole special rule change just for that fight was purely designed to bully Yumi. The sad part is, I'm sure Misasa could have still won easily without that shrinking arena. But Sandwich just wanted it to end with this bottom panel to really humiliate him. For those of you still "green", don't click on my image.
>>288110061What the fuck was Kumagawa's problem holy jesus
>>288115241Oh fucking hell I completely forgot about the gimmick. That was completely pointless.
>>288115241>For those of you still "green", don't click on my image.I've been clicking on every single image and spoiler, yet somehow I am still very "green"
>>288115241>this bottom panelOh shit, it's The Real Carlos Medel!
>>288115265Isn't it also funny that nobody in the world of Kengan was able to fix Yumi's face? Meaning that he has to wear a thong for the rest of his life? Yet another layer of humiliation.
>>288115293The "beauty" of this all is that everything forward being posted unspoiled will make 0 sense, then you see it and it will still make 0 sense and now you're mad that it doesn't.
Honest question, Keng/a/nIf the Daro of today were to write the KAT again, who would win
>>288115319sorry, Hanafusa would never "heal" a "traitor"
>>288115331I think Daro has a better grasp of how to tell the story better, judging from the drafts at least. But modern Daro clearly doesn't give a shit anymore, he'll probably just write an ending where Shen and Ohma kill each other in a double KO. Ryuki gets caught in the middle and dies, giving Koga a good cry about it and Koga then dedicates becoming the strongest for him. The end.
>>288115331You mean Sandro?It's honestly hard to tell between Agito, Kuroki and Ohma. Hayami coup would've probably flowed into Worms arriving and turning KAT into a team battle KA vs Worms with KA winning (the razor's extremely thin) while Worm top dogs say shit like "We won't forget this humiliation!" The last page is Ohma confronting Kuroki and some mysterious silhouette approaches both of them. Ohma turns to that silhouette and says "You wanna fight too?" while staring directly at the reader with a cheeky smile.And then Omega starts and that scene never gets brought up again
>>288115331I completely misunderstood the question lol. Hard to say desu, all participants are protected. It might still go the same way but this time, Kuroki kneels out of respect and announces that Ohma was the most difficult fight of his life and he is honoured to have fought him. And maybe he would've lost by a thin margin if he was healthier.
>>288115319>Ohma ruins his circulatory system, gives himself brain damage and destroys his heart, still fine later>Mokichi gets his neck completely snapped and then slammed down onto his skull with full force, still fine later>Ivan gets his neck artery sliced open and left to bleed out in the middle of no where in a dilapidated house, still alive later>Naidan is too late to save despite suffering the EXACT same injury and with people there to actually help him>Yumigahama can't heal a caved-in face despite the fact several people have healed fine from identical injuries in the same series.
>>288115673Naidan's soul instantly left his body just to avoid post-revival humiliation
>>288115673>heavyweight champion boxer caves in an anorexic's head?literally fine the same day>twink misasa smashes the face of a guy literally twice his weight?sorry, that's gonna be permanent
>>288115800Featwise, they are the same though. Gaolang could crush boulders, Misasa can do the same by tapping them. Yes, it does not make any sense that the silat practitioner of that size could match him but that's the world we live in.

>>288108583why is this kinda endearing

>>288114656No, sandro has the right idea. The first match has to be decided by a ringout to establish the new rules.I guess you can have this ending for Gaolang V Carlos if you move it to a later match, but the first match needs to make an impression that they are playing by a different set of rules this time. Sandro just dropped the ball with Carlos' flipflopping attitude and bad choreography.

>>288108583Kinda the point innit
>>288114656Itagaki would have Carlos use perfect superior to Muay Thai Capoiera only to drop it for no reason midway through and claim that he doesn't need anything but boxing to win
>>288116683Haruo went on a roidrage rant about not being a fat fuck anymore towards two people that didn't know him and never did anything to him, and then beat them into cripplehood.
>>288118283Holy kek
>>288118283Kekkles.>>288118133It is fucked that Itagaki is far more willing to get his old characters beaten up than Sandro.
How far would he get?
>>288117251The whole Shattering was a giant Gu Ritual.
How many first time readers are even left at this point, I feel like it's just us usual maniacs laughing at the insanity
>>288103944I seem to remember liking Naidan's fight a lot
>>288118410Eh, only because Naidan didn't look silly. To remind you, the fight was>Ryuki spamming his moves again>Every single one gets blocked>Something about horse milk>His spirit projection can see the entire arena>Rides Ryuki and jams his thumb inside himPretty meh fight all things considered
>>288118410Naidan is kinda like Eddie in how he managed to plant himself in Keng/a/n memory as one of the best guys ever with barely any screentime
You were here to witness Nikaido Ren's star rising in the world of Olympic ski jumping but are you ready for this
>>288118338He's a 5'5 japlet in the fucking featherweight division at 126 pounds. He'd get smashed by just about anyone who gets to the trial to enter Kengan matches. All he knows is to take head strikes dead on and weave into a body blow position. Anyone just as small would win with any ounce of grappling due to Ippos pure boxing tism.
>>288118682I can't believe Koga finally "scaled that wall". I'm happy for him.
>>288115241>The sad part is, I'm sure Misasa could have still won easily without that shrinking arenaSandro explicitly confirmed this in the character bio lmao.
THIS DOESN'T GET BROUGHT UP AGAIN FOR OVER 100 CHAPTERSAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>288115331The first round bracket is rearranged so that every match is a striker vs a grappler, and all wins are perfectly distributed so that every round two match is also a striker vs a grappler.The final round is Ohma who has reached "that territory" of striking vs Agito who has doubled down into being a face tanking formless grappler.Shen and Yan cameo as mysterious shadowy figures in the audience. Yan scowls and says that Ohma must have had "the infection" in his DNA, and now he's begun to "spread" it. Shen grins and says don't be so sure about the outcome, because Agito is "thinning the razor".Five chapters of blurry choreo follow as Agito dives headfirst into Ohma's punches going for a tackle as Ohma tries to get "the timing" right to land Demonsbane, which in this timeline is just a regular punch with a higher damage multiplier. Agito "narrows the razor" by tackling during Ohma's .5 second coma between brain synapses and it looks like he will end it with a well timed throw, but Ohma "scales the wall" because Agito was undefeated, and Ohma had greater "experience of defeat", and lands Demonsbane with perfect "timing".As Agito's consciousness fades, he tells Ohma to raise a triumphant cry.
>>288119547Right, this happened.>Only one guy is the head of all the underworld in AfricaSure, why not.
>>288119704If Sandrovich actually did something with that instead of just forgetting, that guy could have come across as a real badass to pull that off.
>>288117204>>
>>288119773>They were awesome>Am I too strong?>No I'm still too greenHeh
>>288118322Beaten up? They're getting their limbs and innards torn off like it's going out of fashion
>>288119904>They're getting their limbs and innards torn off like it's going out of fashionIs that really happening in Baki?
>>288119904I think you're referring to those that got brutalised by the convicts, and yeah they are. But I'm referring to the "main cast", they don't really get that brutal of a treatment. Still much more than whatever light beating from a razor thin fight people get in Kengan though.
>>288114656I think this works in general much better, but since we should stick to Carlos winning in the end, he should do so, but only just.Even if it's a very close match, Carlos getting through despite being a pure boxer and having the build of an African orphan makes him still look a lot better than Gao overall while still also admitting that Gao is just about equal as a whole package.Carlos can also consider his own shortcomings from this, notably his weight class and the willingness to learn something that can deal with other styles at least to an extent.
>>288119547>assumed when this chapter came out it was setting up a bunch of no name side characters to be killed off by the worm for stakes at no cost to Sandro's core pets>instead they just never appear again and are completely irrelevant to the plot because the worm just kills itself and disbands right after this
>>288118356im "green" but half of the posts are spoilers, so I dont interact with that. I want to see how the "shittening" happens myself
>>288119963NTA but yeah, I can immediately think of 3 "main cast" characters who were brutalised in that fashion
>>288119963>>288120026Had in mind Retsu getting his leg eaten by Pickle, Hatsumi losing his arm to pickle (even though he regains one later on), Retsu fucking dying, but as I was writing that I did think back to Doppo getting his hand cut off with the wire in convicts as you said, but that doesn't really count as much considering how joyful he was getting to punch someone with all his might with a stump and not having those pesky fingers get in the way. Oh yeah also Oliva getting his entire ribcage turned into sawdust, that's another one.
>>288119547 Dude, out of all the things that went nowhere fast, THIS ONE in particular is something that couldn't even get the key in the engine And yet for some reason Sandro decided that the dude in the business suit and glasses was going to have some sort of presence in SiR and promote his Yakuza to good guy status
>>288115241I'd almost forgive this if during Jurota's fight there was a no ring outs special rule so at least I'd be able to excuse the fight a single bit.
>>288120966I still really really like Jurota and I hate how Dandro treats him.
>>288120966>Spent all those years waiting for his perfect Judo match>Ended with a soccer kick and hammerfists>He's still happy with thisJurota had a hard life
>>288120966It'd still be pretty bad considering it forced Jurota to not even consider using a choke to beat the magical pain immune zombie. Even funnier when you remember that's how he beat Agito later.
>>288114080AIEEEEEEE, WHAT IS A NINJA DOING HERE
>>288109596So someone like medicine man?
>>288122202A medicine man mirror match would have been hilarious.Xia Ji would have been a good opponent for him too, sneaky fat ugly bastard vs sneaky twink.Prime doujin material.
>>288109596You could do both, just have Carlos be closer to prime Ali to offset Gaolang's stoicism
>>288119547I really don't want another 30+ chapters to make these fucks seem relevant again.
>>288119807Kuroki was right, he IS too green to be the strongest now that Shen is in the picture.I don't think we'll get a double down on the whole "supreme grinder and master of martial art basics" angle. Will it really simply be "I know principles" for Kuroki? I hope not.
>>288118611The REALEST
>>288122887
>>288124055Isnt kuroki still the strongest.He was whooping Shen better than anyone else.And it doesnt rly.matter he was only using one hand.Doesnt change that much for principles. His bullshido magic either works or it doesnt. Kuroki can jab through that
>>288114429If only
