>>288121589I am "early"
>>288121617Shouldn't you be prepping and resting
>>288121666the norito run!
>>288121637>>288121647Thats the cutest backstory ever, Falcon wakes up at his condo, dresses up as a ninja and then goes to his ninja room to read manga all alone, adorable.
Chapter 67: Way of the Ninja
>>288121637>>288121647I love The Falcon.
>>288121830>sshhyeaah!
>>288121723Lihito being...suspiciously mentally competent here.
I GOT THE TIMING WRONG WHAT THE FUCK
>>288121602>Had to be a violent fighter to feed his magician autismHeh
Chapter 68: Spin
>>288121970>self hexing
>>288122006Kuroki in casual clothes is kinda cursed
LIHITOYOU HAVE EXACTLY ONE TRICKUSE YOUR ONE FUCKING TRICK YOU RETARD
>>288121699>Did the handsigns and allReally gotta style on them.
>>288121655who are the other twoi assume you're one of them
>>288121783>"slipped through my guard"What does that even mean here? Gonna explain how?
>>288121647I totally forgot how fun he was
>>288122087he got the timing wrong
>>288121617>my match is in 4 hours>better kill some time in a cafeHas Sandro ever put foot in a martial arts competition??? Out of all the retarded shit I've read in this manga, this is the most egregious. It's so stupid and obviously dumb that it just jumps at you. Worst part is this detail doesn't bring anything.
DONE
>>288122118>Move beyond ZSo is that GT or Super?
>>288121637>>288121647he's so kawaii actually
>>288121850>>288121866What the fuck was he thinking with that guard??
>>288121637>>288121647
>>288122210Well he is the "Super"man
>>288122171Finally, after 5 minutes of getting fingered he uses it.
>>288122182Holy fuark, two Kurokis reacting in sync....
>>288121792So when is he gonna pull out the Rasengan?
>>288122206Thanks OP. Here are the results from the poll for the first fight.
>>288122182> You were too rash, FalconAs if any of Purgatory could have predicted that Rihito had knives for fingers
>>288121637>>288121647I do really like this backstory.Just a guy discovering something he to be passionate about and going all in without caring for appearances.
>>288121596Bando tanks that
>>288122006>the casual hand in dress pant pocketi didnt know he had a sense of fashion outside of wearing a gi
>>288122206Rare good page.
>>288122313>As if any of Purgatory could have predicted that Rihito had knives for fingersYes actually, for some reason Kengan information is really easy to get. Remember that Carlos knew Gaolang broke his fist and Falcon also mentions that he "read his file".
>>288122210>rihito tries to achieve the "daima" of martial arts>immediately dies
>>288122313>there's simply no way to learn anything about your opponent before you meet himShut the fuck up Kazzy
>>288122182For some reason I thought this was the page that had>You have "arrived"
>>288122451I think the top left panel looks identical to that page, that's why you thought of that.
>>288122276needs a "was awesome" category
>>288122451You're a tiny bit early.
>>288122101Dun dun
>>288122451You'll have to wait a while longer for that.
Chapter 68 extra
>>288121617Where I "live" it is not "rational" at all to own a car like that, even if you have the means
>>288122735It looks like a pretty fast car, I'd say it's rational to own.
>>288122735What care is that even? The body implies it's some expensive sportscar but those headlights look fugly.
>>288122802>>288122768It's a Lamborghini Countach, the late models. It's an utterly miserable car to drive since it's cramped, the pedals are to the right of the wheel, it's hot as hell in it, and it's prone to break. The opposite of "rational". There's a manga called Countach, it's super cool.
>>288121637>>288121647This was me in highschool btw. Early-Mid 2000s anime big three was the comfiest thing.
>>288123004I'll be damned, you got that right.>It's an utterly miserable car to drive since it's cramped, the pedals are to the right of the wheel, it's hot as hell in it, and it's prone to break. The opposite of "rational".I would've called this kino but seems like it's in the absolute opposite.
>>288121901how are we supposed to know who that mysterious woman is, if there is no name box?
On hindsight...this was actually my favorite fight in this tournament.
>>288121830rihito presenting his inner hornet
>>288122188Maybe it's trying to say that matches are easy for him
>>288121637A weeaboo awakens
>>288121647Where is falcon from?
>>288121666Oh hey it's the kenshi runalso checked satan
>>288121647Falcon is that guy who would beat you up for insulting Naruto's plot
>>288121914>>288121925>>288121939so basically, Falcon has elden ring/expedition 33 animations
>>288123131Extreme diff fights are always good. Another good one is the Nitoku fight
>>288123177Singapore
>>288123149It's still dumb, since no serious org would let you bail until the last moment.>>288123068>I'll be damned, you got that right.Certified /o/tist at your service.
>>288122171in another timeline
>>288122182Rolon channeling his inner Muteba by watching the match without using eyesight
>>288121655Cute shark.
>>288121637>Thank you, ninjas.>I'll always be hooked on you.
>>288121802Could he take him?
>>288123357This is how all Lihito fights would be btw if his in story abilities are consistent.
>>288121655>top three wreckers for sure
>>288122362He wore a jacket pretty often in ashura
>>288122006>are ya winnin' son?
>>288121723He's still green to be yapping instead of razoring.
>>288122182Rolong... moved?!
>>288122210He's referring to ZZ
>>288123357This would be a win for purgatory
>>288123357Astounding victory for the Purgatory!
>>288123357That'd be a win for Purgatory though.
>>288123477>>288123478>>288123482Ah yes, "we" are in perfect sync, as usual
>>288122206Thanks op>man with lightsaber fingers remembers that he has them
>>288123306>no serious org would let you bail until the last momentOh yeah that much is fair. Maybe it's 4 hours until he needs to be there I dunno
>>288123373Smol shork
>>288123477>>288123478>>288123482
>>288122182Going beyond Z implies something stronger than the Z, but in this case, A to Z would be all of Kuroki, and as such, we must admit that even a sub-optimal Rihito is beyond literally Kuroki.
>>288121647He's so kawaii.God damn why the fuck didn't we just get fun misadventures between the kengan team and purgatory after this tournament instead of retarded connector bullshit forever...
>>288123477>>288123478>>288123482>Mere seconds apartWell done "me". We finally got the "timing" right in being "sync".
>>288122362This is the public underground, so he can't walk around showing his weapon.
>>288121666SSHHHYEAAAA-no-jutsu
>>288121866I can't believe rihito is dea- oh no wait he's fine.
I knew there'd be side effects after chapter 50
>>288122182I fucking love lolong so much.>yeah I could have totally avoided that I can't believe you guys didn't see it man I'm so strong you guys don't even know
Reminder that Lolong is the godhead and "we're" all still living in his premonition.
>>288123201As someone who grew up with Naruto, anything-Kaguya was bullshit and the worst part of the entire story. The war arc was mid and mostly forgettable, with some exceptions. Naruto Classic (anything before Shippuden) is still the best but Shippuden was really good until Pain's conclusion. Karin, Lee, and Tenten deserved better. Kisame and Deidara are my favorite Akatsuki members. Sasuke is a dumbass. I hate Boruto, the story and the boy.>Falcon is that guy who would beat you up for insulting Naruto's plotI have rolled a water balloon from side to side multiple times, he can't beat my invisible chakraless rasengan!
>>288121637>>288121647best boy
>>288123580They're japanese so they read the alphabet in reverse
>>288123752And Shen achieved CHIM
Who do you think Falcon's favorite Naruto character
>>288123848Ah, I see, so Kuroki was training Rihito wrong as a joke.
>>288121792>nothing from shirato sanpei What a fucking POSER
>>288123876tobi
>>288123876I mean Kakashi probably
Can Falcon beat ninja gaiden on master ninja?
>>288123922I don't think he can handle a controller with those fingers.
>>288123876He has a Hinata dakimakura guaranteed.
>>288123876Everyone's favorite Naruto character is either Kakashi or Tsunade depending on what they prioritize in a manga.
>>288124036What if I say it's Madara? And not just Madara, I mean...
>>288123477>>288123478>>288123482What da
>>288124144https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=342p_WDGkWkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKOgk5sgZME
>>288121611>weight classes mentionedMentioned but never relevant unless your name is Julius or Haruo.
>>288124394It mattered just the previous fight. Won't matter for the next example though.
>>288124410That's true my bad.I think my hatred of fangbowl gave me tunnel vision.
>>288123482>>288123478>>288123477Heh, that's what I'd expect from "me"...
>>288122206IMO it shouldn't have taken him this long to remember he sort of has Devils Lance built into him
>>288124473It's more like he didn't want to rely on his crutch to win.
>>288124473The idea was probably that he wants to win using 'proper' martial arts to show off the training he got from staying with Kuroki for a few years rather than just fighting like a gorilla and spamming Razor's Edge.But the thing that Kuroki tried to teach him was that in a fight to just do what's effective, which in this case should have been fighting like a gorilla and spamming razor's edge, instead of blocking and dodging and doing proper strikes.
>grab opponents benis>threaten to razors edge it if he doesn't submit>win every fight>don't need to spend years under a waterfall with kurokiI am the only "master" he needs (no homo).
>>288121637>>288121647Thank you ninja, I'll always be hooked on you.
>>288124607Alas, benis strikes are a rarity in Kengan (unlike in Baki where kicking someone in the balls is the MC's signature move). In fact, the only time I can really remember it happening in Kengan is when Muteba squished Meguro's nuts like grapes.
>>288122206Thanks OP. Is this manga ending anytime soon?
>>288121901She wants to be alone with Muteba, cute shark.
>>288124738I'll leave that open to interpretation
>>288121914Lihito was too strong...
>>288124737Cosmos tried to squash Akoya's nuts too.
>>288123477>>288123478>>288123482"We" have "arrived"
>>288123477>>288123478>>288123482Now, that's what I like to call a perfect sync.We are all "me" after all.
>>288124797Ryuki too
>>288124798Me, myself and I
>>288121647i rabu falco
>>288123580What about ÅÄÖ?
>>288124797Oh yeah. I thought I remembered something to do with nuts during that fight, but since he didn't succeed in crushing Akoya's justice jewels I guess I forgot about it.>>288124816I guess nut squishing is only allowed in Kengan when you're fighting a murderous psycho.
>>288123477>>288123478>>288123482bahahaha! I love this daily
>>288124737Ohma kneed the fuck out of Raian's cock and/or balls
>>288124320Kengan Omega is a prototype consciousness merging program, designed to hijack people's minds to create a single collective awareness. Ever read The Electric State? It's exactly like that.
>>288121647>Toyoda: anyway so I found this severely autistic guy and put him in a ring against roided out MMA psychos in front of thousands of people>I don't even pay him in cash I just give him a few tankobon after each fight
>>288123477Lolong from the bench.>>288123478Liu intently watching.>>288123482Nicolas looking up from his phone to gloat.Yep.Our HEROES.Under purgatory rules? A purgatory CHADator will NEVER lose.
>>288125053The 'K' in MKULTRA stands for Kengan.
>>288125053We are all "me", after all.
>>288124738No.We're what seems to be the final arc, but it's a long arc and there's probably a good 2+ years more before it concludes.
>>288121647My HERO... is a Narutard...
>>288121901Based TomariGod i need this bitch so bad
>>288124977One day Akoya will have his justice jewels crushed as karma, I can just feel it
>>288121637>>288121647Still pure kino
>>288124737>>288125038>>288124797i mean, Muteba literally destroy Boy M's ball
>>288122006>Focus, I
>>288125077Tch, that's a shitty victory.
>>288123697We are re-experiencing the Original Trauma
>>288124144HA HA HA, NICE THREAD, OP!But seriously,
>>288122451That's the Berserker Bowl, right?Where Lihito finally "arrives" and learns the ability to form a fist and punch the opponent.
>>288121637>>288121647Kek, he's just a larper.
>>288121699>handsignsI can respect that.
Hassad soon.
>>288122006I thought he's the kind of autist that'd go anywhere with his gi. Can't remember if he was wearing casual outfit in his first appearance.
Falcon has such a fun gimmick. Prob one of the last times Kengan felt genuinely inventive.
>>288125062>>I don't even pay him in cash I just give him a few tankobon after each fightProbably a few bowls of ramen since too he's into Norito
>>288121655Made from this manga, yet still off topic for this manga.
>>288125708thank you i almost forgot
>>288121647>He was thrilled to have the chance to meet real ninjas?????????????
>>288126048he's very gullible
>>288126048Yes?Kenganverse DO have Ninja
>>288125762He's blending in
>>288126056>>288126048i mean, Mikazuchi Rei is also count as Ninja
Koga soon
>>288121602>Couldn't make enough money>So I became a violent mercenary to help>It's only rationalWasn't he established to be coming from an extremely wealthy family that had hundreds of millions of dollars? The 3rd son?>I don't have enough money to be "just a magician"That doesn't sound rational.I sure hope this page is simply build-up to a realization that he was lying to himself...
>>288126081
>>288126071Kure and Inaba clan as well even if one if more "muh eugenics" and the other's fighting style is "eccentric"
>>288125762>Can't remember if he was wearing casual outfit in his first appearanceHe was wearing the same thing he's wearing now back then. I think he has like two outfits
>>288121802>my master>my master>my masterDude, Rihito. Shut up, bro. You were supposed to be an overconfident jock who could tear steel apart with his fingertips, not some brat.You suck as a character, now.
>>288126118The strongest martial arts prodigy in history, anon!
>>288122101>Come Ichiro, get your passport we are going to America for training>Fuck YEAH, WE'RE WE GOING >HOLLYWOOD, MANHATTAN, LOS VEGAS>Oooh I can't wait I'm gonna get a girl of every color>We are going to Flagstaff Arizona
>>288123697It feels almost like a completely different daily the instant that page got posted. It's insane.
>>288123373>When your buddy's buddy that you loath is around
>>288126211He used to be fun and didn't constantly howl about his owner/master.
>>288125394The op mentioned that the only instance they remembered was Muteba doing it and wondered if there were any other examples.
>>288124737Nutshots are unironically a sign that you'll win the fight, the only one who fucked it up is Ryuki. They're the opposite of biting.>>288125661I thought that's Agito vs Lu Tian. >>288125762His first appearance has the same outfit, he just looks colossally more fucked.
>>288122362His Extra comic with Agito and Lolong is great for exactly this topic.
>>288121602How come women hate magic tricks? Something I've noticed in life. Really turns them off. Specifically ones with cards.
>>288126243I don't know why, but I read that as the strongest martial arts disciple in history. Imagine Koga getting his training at Ryouzanpaku and managing to outpace everyone.
>>288122735Well he doesn't live in Brazil or Somalia...
>>288121655Muteba is giving me the same feeling that Raian gave me in the hospital scene. Like "why are you here?"
>>288121699Sandro should've given a real ninja technique like he gave Nikaido
>>288122171I like Rihito more when he wasn't a stressed pussy.
>>288126497Why wouldn't a mercenary be at a gathering of rich corporate types who give out contracts? You see him get a job offer a page before.
>>288121723The data is probably based on his last fight against ohma as there was really nothing to learn from his fight with gensai
>>288121792Did Naruto have to be used twice? I don't know who the other guys are. Sandro should've used Gray Fox from MGS or Koga from Pokemon
>>288126211He only said it once though since the timeskip
>>288121901I would've preferred it if Rei did the commentary
>>288121792Quick, name the 5 worst hack mangaka!
>>288121950I like that wakatsuki is showing his interest here. We know that Okubo is interested so it's great to see someone else and someone else that would make sense. Would've also liked some Ohma in there as well since he's the only other participating fighter who knows Rihito somewhat.
>>288121983This happens a lot in life. You train and you train and when it's show time none of the repetitions show themselves. Turns out you not only have to train but also learn to get used to the live events you train for. Learned this in both chess and super smash bros
>>288122006>Focus R
>>288124954Those are reserved for "aberrant individuals"
>>288123580No it implies Rihito needs to use something outside of the system. Rihito stopped running and just did it his own way. Kuroki after all never taught him the alphabet. So heade his own way.
>>288126314Those girls were loaned to him>>288124565>>288124473This, basically in this chapter Rihito is losing because he's trying to be "rational".
>>288126839that dastardly "swede"....
>>288121637>>288121647Okay as backstories go this is better than I remember. I get the feeling that I'm not gonna get to say this about many things in Omega.
>>288121637>>288121647who has the "my son has autism" edit page?
>>288127633You mean this one?
>>288126243Would Raian take the path of Gedou?
>>288121866https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVMJSQLGnZk
>>288127809yes dats the good stuff
With how relatively decent this fight is, one could be forgiven for thinking maybe round one was an anomaly and we'll get back on track.HOWEVER
>>288128803Big guy mirror is alright if a bit short. Fangbowl is where it all went wrong
>>288123357
>>288128922MASAKA!?
>>288128922
>>288121637>>288121647He's me
>>288126684Yeah. I learned the same thing fencing. I could do maybe half of what I practiced after I got hurt by hard lunges and hits to my wrist and elbow in my first tournaments. All my brain could focus on was how my wrist hurt and wasn't moving how it usually does, not what I should be doing in the bout. It's not easy to remember your fundamentals when you're in the thick of it as a rookie.
>>288125708Hassad is very ninjalike
>>288128922the most bullshit jutsu strikes again!
>>288126048He considers guys like Kuroki to be ninjas
happy boy
>>288121792>>288121802Sandro still had a lot to learn at this point of the manga.
>>288129959Kek
>>288129601Purgatory sure is evil, giving Carlos and Hawkboy a place to belong and make money.
>>288130509They never said Purg is explicitly evil, just that it may be compromised by a few worms
>>288126451Women believe in shit like horoscopes and tarot cards. So to them, magic is actually real.Stage magic is a turnoff in the same way faking competence in anything else is a turnoff. Like pretending to be rich or benching fake weights.If wizards were real, they'd get ungodly amounts of pussy.
>>288130528The thing about wizards, is that they need to reject pussy.
>>288129959>The master of subversion hackery isn't mentionned
>>288126100>5 page about rational>lead to Naruto autistTake a guess
>>288121637>>288121647He's literally "us".
>>288130718the one true "heart" of hackery..
>>288121901Just realized Tomari is like a grown up slightly more psychotic Tomoko
>>288130718>Kubo>HackeyPick one
>>288130718He's the Kuroki of hackery
>>288121792Could Tsubaki have taken him?
>>288124737Ohma kicked Ivan in the balls early on iirc
>>288130859What? That's like comparing Greg Heffley to Adolf Hitler.
>>288126534To be fair the point of the fight is that he's overthinking things
>>288130892They're not that far apart
>>288129959>GeGedid nothing wrong>>288130718>KuboWrote a great story with great characters
>>288130924Yuta is Shen of JJK
>>288121970Daro still can if he wants to. Too bad he stopped giving a shit.
>>288130872>>288130924you guys actually riked the story?huh...
>>288131010Literally everything in bleach was foreshadowed.
>>288131010Current Omega? Extremely boring.Bleach?! Cool. Amazing. Had fun from start to end.
>>288131136Not everything was foreshadowed, there were plenty of asspulls, not so much plot asspulls as fight asspulls, pic related for example.In fact, it's uncanny how similar Kubo fights and Sandro fights are to one another.>Fights are just a succession of reveals about each fighter in order to generate hype>The deciding factor is almost always who uses his last HOWEVERs last>Fights end up devolving into just HOWEVER hype with no substanceLille Barro fight is an example of that, he pulled that owl transformation out of his ass and then Nanase's shikai is revealed to be the perfect counter to it with o foreshadowing prior to it, how convenient.
>>288131246Still good.
>>288131441Sure, I have already made peace that there was a big audience for subversion hackery. Otherwise, neither Omega nor Bleach would have lasted as long as they did.
>>288131246yeah, absolutely.at some point almost every fight is like that iirc
>>288130509>>288130523They offered Yumigahama a better pay with less risk, they are objectively evil.
Now that I think about it Carlos is basically the Kuroki of dieting/bulking. He should be a personal trainer.
>>288131502you think that he actually had a coach, or did he read a dieting book and had 20 hours of cooking practice ?
>>288121866Counting or not counting ninja violence?
Speaking of Yumigahama, did Sandro even explain why he gave him that fighting style?It really doesn't fit his backstory, character or looks. It feels more like he came up with the idea of the larpmaster style first but never got the chance to include in Ashura it so he decided to give it to the monkey to not "waste" it
>>288131472>a big audience for subversion hackeryIf you think I like Bleach because of its subversions then you are dead wrong, but there is nothing you could possibly say to me that would change my view on Bleach. It is steadily set on my mind as a good manga and anime, so I am sorry you failed to enjoy it properly.It is good, it means good, faithfully.I really dislike Omega, to have both compared is an insult to me. Bleach deserves everything good it got, and I am looking forward for more of Tite Kubo's works.
>>288131538he just read the /fit/ sticky once
>>288131562Sorry, we don't get character bios that actually discuss the creative process behind the character, iterations of their design, or anything like that anymore, all we get is a paragraph of Sandro explaining how they were super strong despite not landing a single hit on their opponent, they merely got unlucky that the Kenganvenger they faced was so sugoi.
This manga is truly the best comedy manga of our time.

>>288125394Still the most horrifying image in Kengan so far.
Reading this fight years later reminds me how salty I and many other were when Rihito still loses here How many years ago was it already?
>>288121637>>288121647Damn Narutards look like THAT!?
>>288121783>he got the "timing" wrong

>>288122206Didn't you move on to finishing fights all in one go in the KAT? Shouldn't you do the same for Omega too?
>>288123477>>288123478>>288123482So this is the Huisheng I have heard so much about

>>288131562Sandro uses an unconventional writing method whereby he doesn't consider anything until an hour before this week's deadline.He needed a villain for purgatory so he made a traitorous fang. No extra details are considered like his personality, fighting style and probably not even his design until daro does the heavy lifting.It comes time for Yumi to appear, what kind of person is he? Sandro nervously looks at the clock and tries to calculate if he's got time for some yakisoba and his fourth nap of the day. "Uhhh he's an asshole." Mission accomplished, he can successfully clock out early.Rinse and repeat for the rest of the character and by extension the rest of the series.Everything is cobbled together and held in place with duct tape with the only long term plan being to milk this as long as possible.
>>288126571Naruto actually used names from famous ninja
>>288131136It was not lmao.Ywach being zangetsu wasn't foreshadowed at all.>b-but he looks just like-More like Kubo retroactively using a design slap a plotThere were no mention of the Quincy King or the Thousand Year Blood war prior.That's why the actually-I'm-your-quincy-powers cocktail was so convulated, because Kubo built it to justify a complex plot instead of being pre-planned from the start.Not to mention the retcons.Remember when the location of the Ouken was passed from one captain commander to the next? Then in TYBW it was revealed that Yama has always been the first and founding captain commander of the G13 lmaooo.It's ok to enjoy Bleach. I enjoy Bleach. I think the Zanpaktou power system is neat. But let's not pretend Kubo foreshadowed shit.
>>288130892>comparing Greg Heffley to Adolf HitlerThat's a very apt comparison, though.
>>288121992rihito looks like koga in the first panel
>>288132445https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/206214898/#206214898https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/206236363/#206236521Also found some m3mes
>>288131577>Tite KuboYou know, for as long ago as Bleach ran... I just realized I've always been calling him>Tight Kooboh
>>288132820I don't like KO enough for that.
>>288133292That image reminds me I was a hardcore Ryuki = Kiryu theorist back at the start.
>>288133409Ryuki was so much more intriguing as a character before the clone shit was unveiled. He was hit the hardest by Ohma's return. At least Koga gets to beat up homeless people or something.
>>288132883What pisses me off the most is that he still has the gall to try to make it seem like he puts in all of his effort into writing, when it's crystal clear to everyone that he's one of the most uncommitted and lazy fucks out there who refuses to spend anymore than an hour a week (so you say, but personally, I think it's more like 5 minutes per week) to work on a chapter.At least Daro doesn't pretend like what he's doing is back-breaking work. He is honest about putting in minimal effort whenever possible and to get away with whatever bad art passes through the editor's inspections. Sandro meanwhile keeps putting up a front.
>>288121630I wonder if that was inspired by Ninja Gaiden.
>>288133837The crazy part to me is that there have been numerous mangaka who work themself to death because their editor threatens them with the axe every week regardless of how successful they are.Meanwhile Sandro has basically won the lottery and is free to coast along.
>>288134417Maybe Sandrobitch got the idea of the Worms gleefully killing themselves from hearing about what happened to his less successful colleagues through the industry grapevine
>>288134023That was probably in turn inspired by some ninja movieThere were a LOT of ninja movies in the 80s
>>288121637Literally me when I saw Chipp Zanuff in Guilty Gear
>>288133292>>288132445That reminds me, what happened with that keng/a/n casino stuff in the end? didn't it crash at some point?
>>288134417That's a really good point. So many mangaka are literally forced to take breaks even when they don't want to, precisely because they desperately need to take care of themselves and not work themselves to death. Meanwhile, Sandro treats this profession like a 9-to-5 minimum wage worker. He's always looking to take as many breaks as legally possible. Back during the RCT, he took 4 breaks in 25 chapters. It's so obviously that he has no passion for what he's doing here. Yet, somehow he keeps getting an additional manga approved for serial publication like every other year. First it was Danberu, then it was Strike it Rich, then (most recently) it's Blue Ursus. How the fuck does he do it? Does he have blackmail material for inculcating select individuals in the publication he works at? Because I cannot explain how he keeps getting more and more manga to write.
>>288130523why are worms infiltrating purgatory and trying to take down the kengan association again?
>>288137548I mean, Kengan *is* popular. It's popular on Comikey, it's popular on MangaONE. As weird as it sounds, it's only really this place that has such intense vitriol for it. Sandro basically follows the same structure for every fighting manga he has and rehashes a lot of his clichés over and over, so he prob *can* afford to work with several mangakas at the same time without many issues.
>>288129959>all are writers from works of hackerykek
>>288130879in a fight or...
>>288137779Can I get a QRD on how Blue Ursus is going? Does it have a cult in it?
>>288137889I think last time I checked there was some hint of dark conspiracy at play (although not a cult) but honestly I can't be arsed to care enough to actually verify this.
>>288123862We morrowind now, other "me"
>>288134023The pose, the city background and the Kunai are a obvious give way
>>288138159I have the elder scrolls general open in another tab and I was very confused.
>>288136596https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Lc4t2_3mRyUcNeg7N4cHFAu9FWHOgLYYn12aJMkReqU/htmlview#gid=0There may be spoilers here, so be careful anyone who is not from the "inside"
>>288138526>we could have this again in the current arc if anons still cared about this manga
>>288139280You say this like it's anons' fault
>>288139361CARE HARDER! PLAPPLAPPLAPPLAP CARE HARDER!!!
>>288138195Yeah, but like >>288135193 said I also thought Ninja Gaiden itself might have taken it from something even older.
>>288133292that johnny guy must have creamed his pants with the addition of chopstick johnny
>>288137777What do you mean why?Kengan are the good guys and those dastardly worms are up to no good, try to keep up m8.
Holy fuck i cant believe its been six whole years since this happened. Time flies so fast man, at least the memories are sweet.Also we are slowly approaching that one page:P
>>288141411nta but it's still funny to me.back in ashura we got introduced to the kengan association as this ruthless merchant organising proxy semi-death matches, were fighters life and wellbeing aren't worth shit.and now apparently they are the good guys
Can some anon give me a QRD on whatever the fuck happened to Omega and why it makes /a/ so mad? I only read Ashura, so I have no idea what happens in Omega, only that Ohma somehow returns.
>>288133292wow, this quality sucks, here, have the OG.
>>288141549https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Db0oYKXvw
>>288141634"We" need an update of this meme for "we" have changed.
>>288141549The manga drops severely in quality around chapters 50 and 120 and for the last 4.5 YEARS. FOUR AND A HALF YEARS the plot has been going nowhere, dialogue is terrible, fights are boring. Its a 2/10 manga saved by people being nostalgic for early 2020 kengan omega and asura
>>288141717Here's the storytime variant of it
>>288141549Author picked a handful of pets and sidelined everything else, there are no credible antagonists and the art, oh, the art...
>>288141634Thank you! I just downloaded what I found in the archives
>>288141762I look forward to going back in the archives and reading what's under those spoiler tags after everything's done.
>>288141768The Art™
>>288141817
>>288141817That one monkey edit is one of my favorite moments from this dogshit battle royale
Daro is the only artist ive ever seen brag about aimaxxing. Nigga truly does not give a fuck about anything other than his bills. I prefereed ashura art but early omega also had this nice polished style that worked
>>28814188514 years in America or something
>>288141885The last time the art in omega made me think wow that's cool was akoya vs ryuki.It's always cool to see visual metaphors/how fighters are perceived mentally rather than just drawing the literal depiction.There's only so many ways you can draw a punch or a kick but there are all kinds of ways to depict bloodlust or whatever.
>>288132940bleach pioneered the modern "hype moments and aura" style of writing, even tho it didn't invent it it basically codified how a lot of following shonen with little to no substance would keep going purely thru sense of styleand i think that's fine, you can get away with being style over substance, specially if your stuff looks as cool as the stuff in bleach, but people really twist themselves into knots trying to explain how kubo secretly had planned everything from day 1 with hyper niche references to philosophy and literature when his real passion is in fashion design so everything he does is informed by aesthetic first and the connective tissue comes later (or never)
>>288141549I'm a newbie, but the way the new MC has been handled since Ohma returned makes me kind of depressed.
>>288142555>fashion designIs there any other artist who followed the mentality of a fashion designer?
>>288142579i feel the obvious answer would be hirohiko araki, but he's both a boomer and more into high fashion which means his stuff is much more bizzare and out there unlike kubo's streetwear influence, which is more plainly "cool"
>>288142555Other mangaka wish they had 1% the style Kubo had. Doesnt matter how non sensical the plot got, the characters were cool as fuck.Meanwhile you got guys like oda whos design is giving the guy who can turn make lightning out of pancakes a fat "THUNDER" tattoo.Kubo knows how do get shit done
>>288142579Some of the outfits in kimetsu no yaiba look like something out of high fashion to me but the author of that is a woman so that's cheating, they always focus on the clothes
>>288142630Kubos art is just eye candy. The "Bankai" drop for every character is also iconic
>>288142579Araki. Even earlier than Kubo, although Jojo's never had much plot to begin with (well maybe except the very beginning when it was basically a FotNS clone). Which kinda fits the fashion theme. Still fun, I enjoyed even the later parts and the current one. Although it greatly depends on your own taste of course. Some people simply don't like this kind of stuff and its fine
>>288142579Araki
>>288142630>Kubo knows how to get shit doneBy stealing Nito from dark souls?
>>288142669I always liked tanjiros jacket
>>288142694But Dark Souls was 2011, this Resureccion dropped years prior
>>288142694don't engage him anon. i like bleach too, but he's just fanatical about it, there's no arguing with those type of people.
>>288142751How am i fanatical? This is the first time ive talked about bleach here in months
>>288142735>Kubo went forward in time to steal designs from dark soulsThat's a very KUUUUBOOOOOO thing to do
>>288142805He even stole the way the characters laugh, wtf
>>288142694>>288142751>>>/r/eddit
>>288141717there's a new one every so often, post-ch130, 180, 230, 280, and recently 350. Don't worry, I'll be there
>>288139280Besides people rightfully not caring, it becomes a lot harder to decide what to do with bets in the current format where things can end differently than just a win or loss. See - FLEEgito, or the possibility of another character interfering(as if Daro's GPU could handle this).
>>288141639I feel like going to a theme park, now...
>>288143023We could factor in spiritual victories as tie breakers ABSCONDgito is an obvious loss while Liu crippling Realcolas is a Liu win despite not breaking the watch.
Post it, you know what I mean.....
>>288128922utter kino
>>288121596thanks
>>288121589Hey ble/a/ch, how's it goin'?
>>288142630I love Oda's design sensibilities. Dude just doesn't give a fuck.
>>288128922Is there a followup to this kino?
