>>288208784>the Shogun isn't elected brother it's inherite->shut up and pick a fighter Nii-chan...It went something like that
"We" have "arrived".
>>288208848>>288208862Why is that a bad thing?It's literally what Koga has been doing
>>288208826>>288208838damage received: 0
>>288208810I'll never get this stance. Like it's a spear thrusting one sure but your other hand isn't actually doing anything and the reason why one uses spears, range, isn't even relevant here. I swear Sandro just read about Musashi and wanted his own take.
>>288208921yeah, it's pretty stupid
Chapter 79: Set Up
>>288208862one of the worst pages in omega so far
No.... no... stop dumping! Now! If you don't... I'll kill you, with this knife!SSSSSSHHHHHHYEEEEEEAAAAAAH
>>288208915>>288208930>Oh noes Misasa, you better take this seriously, or you're gonna lose on a razor thing margin now
>>288208979What?
>>288208862how do you "steal" a technique? what kind of bullshit last second rewrite is going on?
>>288208979THAT DIDN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING
>>288209010Hidden move! Ape Chin!
>>288208810Did he really say "GRIN" out loud?
>>288208862>oh my god he LEARNED TECHNIQUES??>such a dastardly and despicable thing has never happened before in our honorable kengan matches as long as you ignore the christian bale lookalike whose entire fighting style was doing just that>and koga who's actively been doing that same bit the past few months>and agito>and the kures
>>288208862This page has effectively mindbroken Keng/a/n readers to the point people still have biweekly arguments about it 5 years later. I think it's actually pretty impressive.
>>288209025>keeps using imaginary weapons>won't stop jobbingunfathomable
>>288209057Because the first fifty chapters of this manga were Koga doing literally exactly that.
>>288209051what's soft about an elbow, that's worse to take than a punch a lot of the time
>>288208784>>288208795>>288208810>his hype is being compared to a guy whose only known fight was a lossI knew it was over as soon as this chapter started even back then.
>>288208862>Yabako SandroBITCHian morality>>288208880>SandroBITCH trying to mislead readers into thinking Misasa is having trouble and that they're evenly matched
>>288208921i can see the logic with the idea that you're probably able to more elegantly move your body if you can "visualize" the movement, but the only way that makes sense would be if yumi was a lifelong weapons master who is just now trying to develop hand to hand proficiency (which he isn't)
>>288208979>Power's not about strength>It's about uhhhhhhYes, thank you Sandro. Couldn't even just say techniques or whatever.
>>288209078>invulnerableLet's see him deflect a punch from Julius
>>288208862Kaneda fucking hates Koga and Chiba
>>288209010>>288209025>Goes low>eats a kneeClassic.>>288209043His sin was not calling it Monke Style: X
>>288209010>that chin So he's half monke, half Ukanlos from Monster Hunter?
I hate how much he looks like Cosmo and even Hanafusa. Both characters I would rather have seen in the tournament.>>288209097weak selection, where's the INVISIBLE ELBOW
>>288209123Lo Long fell asleep...
>>288209057>Koga's been doing that>Agito's also been doing that>Kure Secret Style is also literally that>Somehow this is now badIt's one of the most egregious "tell don't show" shit in the manga that doesn't really agree with everything else. Like it's literally just in this moment that it is bad.
>>288209123Rolón moved!!
>>288209156I feel the aura...
>>288209135this makes zero sense. You only lose when 100% of your body is out of the ring, nothing stops him from moving the same way. If you read this exactly as its presented and w/ the visual in these bottom 2 panels, Yumigahama should be dominating this fight for the entire duration.
>>288208979FUARK
>>288209135No? He can keep swinging as wildly as he wants as long as one part of him dominates the light area.It literally gives him the advantage as the smaller guy has less room to make a mistake.
>>288209164No, not Yasunaga...
>>288209164NOOOOOOOOOO NOT YASUNAGA MY BELOVED CHARACTER
>>288208810This was proof Sandro developed some kind of mental illness.I don't know how you can design such a simian looking creature like Yumi and think "this guy fights with invisible weapons, that's a fitting style for him".
>>288209135>>288209145This doesn't even make sense>You're gonna lose because you're biggerLiterally bowl the guy off the "ring".
Chapter 80: Sympathy for the Scoundrel
>>288209156phew i almost thought this fight sucked but now that THE UNFATHOMABLE lolong donaire, the monster of manila, the king of purgatory, the BEAST has commented on it i've become properly engaged
>>288209164...Who?
>>288208944>YOU'RE DON'T JUST A YOU GET FLEA FRESH TRYING WITH ME, TO FIGHT YOU LITTLE AN ELE-FUCKIN'PHANT!!!! BITCH!!!!What did he mean by this?
>>288209156>Lolong "Just fucking win" Donaire just let his teammate losePurg losing is all on you croc-man.
>>288209180>>2882091852 more pages, c'mon. Don't mean to defend this atrocious writing, but it's addressed.
>>288209180Fei literally says so in the following page kek
>>288209164i miss my yasunigga like you wouldn't believe...
>>288209164Oh... okay then? I guess he FUCKING KILLED A GUY CAUSE METSUDO FELT LIKE DOING A LITTLE TROLLING?????
>>288209164>>288209175>wtf they don't hate monke yet>he... killed some guy no one knows>who was trying to hold him against his will on Little Saint Metsudo's>do you hate him now?
Monke's style is such a disappointment
>>288209208Don't underestimate monkeysA monkey can be anything, even an urban warfare specialist
>>288209242It literally isn't, Monke is used to fighting under purg rules he should be a natural with them.The ACTUAL reason would be that he's got seething tunnel vision on the twink.
>>288209164This page is absolutely adorable. I can actually picture the inner conversation of Sandwich's mind realizing (let's be honest, mostly reading online comments) that "just" being a turncoat doesn't really warrant that level of unhinged hostility and asspulling a random dead bodyguard in his backstory to be sure you would realize Yumi is a dastardly villain you should hate. Vibe writing at its finest.
>>288209156Rolón is not a team player
>>288209242>>288209244But the way it's addressed makes no sense either. Why is there a psychological wall? Yumi heard the rules, and the graphic of the katana vs. smaller concealed blades indoors doesn't help either. This is just stupid, could Sandro not have found a better way to say "he's seeing red"
>>288209123>this page makes it seem like the Purg gladiators are ASTONISHED that an A-lister can be beaten so badly, and yet only a few chapters later we learn that Yumi had suffered a lot of official losses as an A-lister this was public knowledge. Even Misasa knew about it. So Yumi is not exactly an unbeatable fighter. Yet this manga panel is trying to make it seem like an A-lister losing like this is unprecedented. God, Sandro just makes shit up as he goes along. It's so sad to see.
>>288209316JUSTONEWELLTIMEDT H R O W
>>288208810Daro drew this like a gorilla holding a crayon what the fuck is that face.
>>288209316I know someone has THAT edit of this page. Please post it.
>>288209156>>288209243This just straight up the same fucking panel of Rolon and Terashi yapping
>>288208979
>>288209324HOWEVEROWEVER
>>288209051>elbow wankhnnnnnnnnggggg
>>288209135>that bottom right panelYUMI NEVER, EVER HAD ANY ADVANTAGE! IT'S CLEAR MISASA WAS TOYING WITH HIM FROM THE START! STOP TRYING TO WRITE THIS AS IF THE TWO WERE EVENLY MATCHED! THIS IS JUST A HUMILIATION RITUAL, NOT A MATCH!Yes, I am extremely mad right now.
>>288209347This is straight up fucking murder
>>288209087>elbow from outside his awarenessI guess you could call that an
>>288209270>Size doesn't make a differenceI don't know...
>>288209333Rolon did not move
>>288208868This should have been Yumi a knuckle deep into Misasa's eardrum.You have hanafusa magic so you don't even have to pretend the damage is permanent so just do it and it makes things seem serious for now and also shows us Yumi fights dirty.
>>288209347under purgatory rules this would've been a loss for kengan if only yumigahara wasn't so weak and pathetic as to survive it
>>288209393Cringe.
DONEI have zero worthwhile comments, but I like Misasa's droopy eyes.
>>288209371One million pity
>>288208862THERE IT IS
>>288208795>has to do a fully telegraph strike to crush rocks>>288208979>just flick the wrist a bit
>>288209384Under the actual rules stated this is a win for purgatory btw
>>288209371Misasa just killed his opponentanother splendid win for purgatory
>>288208915How to bury a character in one line.What was the point of having pages where it looks like he's dangerous if you're just going to drop "misasa could have won any time he wanted btw"
This fight really fucking sucks.
Carefully contemplate the consternation caused by coping over the cruel conundrum that caught our capricious chimpanzee. Surely a shame, our selfless simian was stopped short in his springtime, sentenced to be scarred for switching sides. Serving, selling, to supply scant but his sister's safety. A martyr mired midst malignant magnates, a hellacious hero heralding the hopeless, heartless hereafter of Omega. Goodbye, Yumigahama.
>>288208862Hello, Human Resources?
>>288208784Isn't this Tenkaichi? Are we getting to get gate shenanigans.
>>288209406Thanks OP. Just for posting, I'm sorry you had to reread this shit yourself.so what do we think? Solely from a writing perspective this is the worst fight in Omega (so far). Would you say it's even top 5 compared to everything that followed? Spoiler appropriately
>>288209228>>288209243>Monke does this while being twice Misasa's size>Misasa just blocks it>Rei does it with the sizes reversed>This happensIs being a budget Bando that big of an advantage?
>>288209445>the special rules? actually he would have lost even without them *raughs*>I don't think every strong character should be super cool and stoic, that's why I made him a pathetic jobber and be mutilated by a stoic twink Fuck Sandro.
In addition, the google translated version and raws.
>>288209445>I personally don't like the idea of every character having a strong and stoic mind
>>288209393Worst fight by a wide margin>>288209406Thank you OP
>>288209051Those elbows aren't impressive because I can see them.
>>288209445>148 kgdamn
Volume 8 dust cover 1
>>288209452In Kengan we don't "arrive" through the "gates," we "scale the wall."
>>288209445>I don't like strong characters being stoic>So I made this ugly ape have one of the most one sided beatdowns against a characters who's just cool and stoicThank you Sandro, very cool.
>>288209301Vibes-based writing is indeed an apt way of putting it. I despise how much the man's insecurity translates to this sort of writing. He is lazy and unwilling to plan much ahead. Yet he probably spends more time sifting through online forums than actually doing any sort of planning. Then he proceeds to carry out lame damage control as a way to stay one step ahead of his readers.And that's another thing: The man is always at war with his readers. Not just through his lame attempts at "subverting expectations", but also by patching up holes in his narratives to always make it seem like he's thought ahead of us and that these holes weren't actually holes at all.
Volume 8 dust cover 2
>>288209445imagining monke with the penis haircut is pretty wild
>>288209445its kinda telling that sandro seems to think that the stoic ohma clones that populate the later moments of the manga are what peak strength looks like, he's got no actual storytelling ideas so he can only fall back on his own shallow aesthetic preferences, any conflict or character flaws are either exclusively for villians or something to be paved over after a character's introduction to showcase their "growth"
>>288209243SHEEEEYAAAAAH!With a "C".
>>288209500This is just cruel
>>288209384Rest in bananas, monke
>>288209515This is funny to see considering the latest chapter.
>>288208810>>288209000>>288209187Under Baki rules, he'd be fucking invincible. But he had the misfortune to be born into a world where weapons are cursed.
>>288209515Dandy Julius looks sick. Tomari, design him a fit.
>>28820950710th literary style: READER VS AUTHOR
>>288209371Surely his brain is caved in here and he's now dead, right?
>>288209270You're right size doesn't matter WHEN GOD MAGICALLY GIVES YOU THE STRENGTH AND DURABILITY OF A GIANT
>>288209545>Dandy Julius looks sick.julius if he actually got some custom tailored shit
>>288208862Isn't this what Koga has been doing and receiving praise for?
>>288209564>not even allowed to die because that would be a win for purgatoryWhy must monke suffer?
Those purgatory fighters remind me of Ippo part 2
>>288209574
>>288209574>>288209412
>these chapters storytimed today>The Boys awful poorly setup finale in a few hours>(current Kengan) Julius vs. Gilliam about to end in an unsatisfying way tomorrow16 straight hours of trainwrecks, what a powerful Tues-Wednesday stretch
>>288209574Please stop shilling your fanfic characters, that's cringe.
Hassad soon.
>>288209445>he was definitely the weakest of all the fangsGood thing none of your prior writing contradicts that huh?
>>288209457This is easily the worst match for me. There will be more BS later, but they're enjoyable bullshit. Even the Raian fight, as weird as that was, was still funny in a way..Misasa vs Monkey is just straight up predictable, boring and uninspired.
>>288209574>koga
One more wall scaled, it becomes harder and harder to escape as you sink deeper into schizophrenia
>>288209602Agito was one of the weakest Fangs ackshually.
>>288209587>The BoysWho gives a fuck?
I'm so glad Sandro has been so consistent in his depictions of size and weight and its advantages.>Medel vs Gaolang>Medel can't deal significant damage, despite being hyped up as LE UNPARALLELED GENIUS OF STRIKING WHOSE GODLIKE TECHNIQUE NONE CAN SURPASS, through a 38kg weight gap>Lihito vs Falcon>A 20 kg weight gap is significant enough for it to be a viable strategy for Lihito to just let Falcon have a free uppercut to his jaw to land a counter in return, because he couldn't possible land a knockout blow like that>Yumi vs Misasa>WITH A FUCKING 80KG WEIGHT GAP, THE WEIGHT OF AN ENTIRE AVERAGE FIGHTER, Misasa has absolutely no issue utterly pulverizing Yumi through the whole match, as Yumi's strikes fail to do literally anything, unable to even overpower Misasa's guard when he lands straight on shots like >>288209243TOTAL SANDRO DEATH
>>288209445Every time I read one of these character bios, I feel like punching Sandro in the face. He comes off as incredibly insufferable and arrogant. The worst part is that he can't even 100% commit to doing damage control. His urges to vaguepost and not commit to anything so that he can slither away in ambiguity are stronger than his desire to damage control, as is evidenced by:>(?)and>probably
>>288209602Himuro accidentaly SHIFTed from the "Yumi vs Agito timeline" and mixed several hypothetical Kengan routes in his retelling.
>>288209574Whom?
>>288209274It's so lame, makes me genuinely wonder how he beat Jose so badly.
>>288209347
>>288209164I remember reading when it came upI already had my brain off by that point cause i cant remember the monke killing a bodyguard before
>>288209145Why didn't Yumi simply "scale" the "psychological wall"?
>>288209688It's mentioned just that one page and you're probably caught up with the dozens of other shit before.>>288209674>>288209701Dance monkey, dance!
>>288209164
>>288208821>>288208826Hey which weapon was that Yumi?
>>288209722>P4A Akihiko.gif
>>288209347>>288209354>>288209371How did "she" "feel" about this?

>>288209164You should have fucking spoilered this page with a warning, now I'm FUCKING RELIVING THE GRIEF ALL OVER AGAIN
>>288209360Man, Jerry would have been a good choice to fight Yumi, he uses way better weapons
>>288209743She fell off iirc, much like any of the characterfags after they got to their fight.
>>288209722who would win, 1 mexican former heavy weight champion (capoeira learned) vs 1 wild gorilla
>>288209457This was the breaking point for me.Everyone who has "scaled the wall" knows you can only drop Omega for a week until you're reading it again like a junkie fiending for their next hit but this was the point for me where I knew we were reading trash.Chapter 50 was the body blow and this was the uppercut that followed.Tigerbowl, lolongs fight and then the "tragedy" in quick succession sealed the deal but I really liked Yumi as an antagonist because he wasn't evil he was just an asshole so this was when I stopped reading it for the story and continued purely to take part in the threads.
>>288208979>it's not about strength, it's about being the writer's pet
>>288209457This was the fight that broke the enthusiasm of a lot of the people who still had faith in this manga back when it first came out. Remember: Most people still mindlessly cheered Ohma's return when CH50 came out. And despite what happened in the chapters that ensued (specifically, Koga's brief NTR arc in the hospital), most of Keng/a/n still didn't care and were hyped for the tournament. Never mind that the Gaolang-Medel fight was a bad way of starting the tournament. They still held hope.Never mind that the Rihito-Falcon fight was also bad because of Falcon's extremely weak victory that wasn't by a show of genuine dominance and strength. Purgatory was still a joke at this point. Never mind that. The fanboys still held hope.Never mind that the Julius-Toa fight was just a boring mirror match that Sandro desperately tried to spice up with the whole "IS TOA A WOOOOORM" mystery box that was immediately resolved at the end of the fight. And that Toa just screamed GIGAJOBBER throughout the fight. No, they still held hope.But the Misasa-Yumi fight? This was when their resolve to defend this manga cracked for a significant chunk of bootlickers.
>>288209270>Size doesn't make a differenceNeither does weight. Someone post "it"
>>288209644i just like seeing trainwrecks, why do you think i'm here
>>288209773>former heavy weightHe gets eaten by the gorilla
>>288208862>You can steal techniquesIs Toa getting sued by Ohma for copyright violation? Is that why Toa can no longer use Maungamanawa and is just reduced to a grappler hundreds of chapters later?During about half of this match, Yumigahama was explicitly using weapon techniques in such a way they functioned barehanded. That's explicitly TRANSFORMATIVE in nature. Every single technique was unified as part of his own distinct style of combat. That's ALSO transformative.
>>288208979What's with Sandro and having exposition pages that explain nothing?
>>288209797It can't be a trainwreck if it never left the station, have some standards for your taste in awful media.
>>288209574>Kogais that some character from strike it rich or danberu or whatever that other sandro series was called? i don't think those are very relevant to kengan besides small cameos
>>288208862well, this is certainly a new "low" in the writing..it only gets worse, doesn't it?
>>288209393Purgatory Fighters on the hospital: 4
You know there's something darkly funny with stealing styles being condemned this badly only for the manga to be filled with AI slop later on. Sure, I guess you can say Daro is using his own work as the base, but still.
>>288209156Are you throwing this contest on purpose or what
>>288209457One of the few fights, even through the rest of this arc, where there is just genuinely nothing nice to say about it. Utterly miserable fight. Back in the day, I was already cynical after chapter 50, but this is where I realized "oh, so we're not even going to have good fights anymore, huh?" It was the breaking point for a decent amount of people I think, especially post-50 copers. Though there were still plenty of Sandro defense force members still claiming that this totally wasn't bad or unsatisfying or a betrayal of expectations.>Would you say it's even top 5 compared to everything that followed? Top five? Absolutely. It might have lost its spot in the top three to Willem's humiliation ritual, but this is definitely still up there.
>>288209574DO YOU WANT ANOTHER RULE RECAP CHAPTER? DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE ANOTHER BREAK WEEK?THEN STOP USING YOUR BRAIN AND JUST BUY COMIKEY KEYS.
>>288209846They should try putting them in there, might help fixing Monke face
>>288209841other purgatory fights are jokes too but i think this was easily the worst one
>>288209164Would be funny if Misasa pulled this out of his ass just to make everyone turn on monke harder and Yumi is confused about what he's talking about
>>288209406Thanks OP! Here are the ratings for Julius vs Toa. According to the polls, here's the ranking so far1. Lihito vs The Falcon2. Julius vs Toa3. Carlos vs GaolangAnd of course, here's the poll for the rating of Misasa vs Monkey:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XagVlnk0ea8mKredxKOtLcvqWTc9QGCfZd0HL8UqoIU/
>>288209841Arguably not as horrible since this fight was just ass throughout but yeah, it's not really going to get better.
>>288209187Remember when it was said that this guy was on par with Agito? Yeah...
>>288209890Surely we won't end up with Falcon vs Lihito as the best match just because Falcon had an entertaining backstory?
>>288209574>Koga
>>288209270Weren't they literally talking about the size difference in the fight with Lihito and Falcon?
>>288209814>That's explicitly TRANSFORMATIVE in nature. Every single technique was unified as part of his own distinct style of combat. That's ALSO transformative.>assuming japanese people can even comprehend the concept of fair use
>>288209347Fucking lmao
>>288208979We've had some really bad pages but this might be the worst in retrospect.Not even a cursory effort to explain things, he can just do stuff because he says so.Toa is a cardboard cut-out of a character he's so flat and he got so much more effort put into how his techniques work.The lack of care or respect for the audience is astounding.
>>288209767Oh really? I guess that makes sense though, I really should've checked their pixiv when I got this. IIRC I saw someone's art posted in the threads shipping their insert with like 3 different purgatory members All of them the ones that fucking died lmao.
>>288209371That's what you get for not being loyal to your corporate employer and learning other people's techniques
>>288209406>The editor still plays an active role>They still try to act out the fight choreography irlInteresting.
>>288209890>30 seconds after posting and already 3 very bad votesOh boy...>>288209911desu I really like the jurota fight, I hope anons will agree with me when It happens.
>>288209923They've been harping on it from the start. Even with Toa vs. Julius their sizes was a point to be considered.
>>288209384As the circle of light closes on top of Yumi I would like to inform everyone who doesn't know that this is the ONLY special fight in the entire tournament. Yes I know this is technically a spoiler, but I don't care. It's so unbelievably retarded that they pulled this stunt for the sole purpose of crippling monke.
>>288209406Thanks OP. This is such a painful chapter yet it also drives me to hysterical laughter. At least we have "arrived" at true kengan omega.
>>288209445>I personally don't like the idea of every strong character having to have a strong and stoic mindI want to strangle this motherfucker to death
>>288209602It doesn't contradict if you read under the impression that Himuro is always wrong
This was around the time when people stopped doing coins betting back when it first came out. Really telling.
Is the Raian fight worse than this
>>288208862
>>288210024I'll leave it open to interpretation.
>>288210010B-Bu-But Himuro Ryo is one of THE LEGENDS... surely he would never misjudge a situation, or (and may Sandro forgive me for even uttering this) lie to deceive a respected warrior...
>>288208821>Get successfully grabbed>>288208826>???What the fuck did he do and why didn't he just like beat his face in or something?
>>288210024A fight? You can't even call it a fight.
>>288210014Yeah this was the turning point. But you still had loads of people coping about how it's going to get better. Something I remember from back then is people insisting that early Ashura sucked just as much as this and only got good in R2 of the KAT or something.
>>288210024>FightWhich one? The buckets being brought to the ring was funny at least. The other one kills the manga for most.
>>288210024barely counts as a fight
>>288210024His opponent is humiliated even worse than monke, but no one had as much investment in him as they did in Yumi
>>288210027Heh
>>288209135by the way, they sure fixed that hole julius made last fight quickly
>>288210044>defenders of a series arguing that the good portions of the work are also shit as part of a greater strategySeems to be weirdly common.
*raughs*
>>288210074Well the Japanese are really good in fixing up potholes irl.
>>288210060at least alan was allowed the mercy of death
>>288209384Sandro claims he doesn't want every strong fighter to be stoic (ha ha okay bud) so he could have subverted the usual "cool hero walks away from the defeated villain" shot by cutting to the scoreboard showing Yumi won. Misasa was so focused on crippling Yumi and aura farming as he walks away he forgot that technically Yumi is still in the light and he isn't. Another victory under purgatory rules.I don't know why I'm fantasy writing a better ending to a fight that finished like four years ago like if I come up with a good enough alternative the god of time will change it, omega just lives rent free I guess.
>>288208976CAPTAIN J NOW
>>288210093No because actually he is a part of Wu Hei so them getting humiliated is an extension of Alan getting humiliated
>>288210093Still made him pull out a knife so people can argue about it afterwards because princess couldn't be in the wrong here.
>>288210024He gets onesidedly defeated and humiliated almost as bad as Yumi just did, I'm afraid.
>>288208784>human weaponThat don't imply that his whole existence is being a jobber?
>>288208862I like to imagine Yumi really got along with some of his masters. Like one of them was a hardass and Yumi slowly won his favor by cooking him food and driving him places and taking care of him when he's sick. Eventually the master introduces Yumi to his daughter and they hit it off really well. Yumi soon proposes to her and she says yes. On the day of wedding, the master talks about how happy Yumi has made him and as a thank you, he turns over his dojo and all the documentation on his martial art to Yumi. The split second Yumi gets the papers he starts laughing maniacally and shoves middle fingers into his master and bride's faces. He runs out the door to find his next master.
>>288209062Based. Sometimes a good Fuck You is all there is to say.
>>288209347>>288209340>>288209354>>288209371Jesus, that's brutal. Dude should be fucking dead.
>>288209673He threw imaginary shit at him with such force, his arm fell apart... one could say Yumigahama took out an "advance"...
>>288210123>Almost as badNot even. Yumi got some strikes in to make you think he had a chance. Raian literally just grabbed Alan and ripped him in half.
>>288208988>YOU'RE JUST MY STEPPING STOOL YOU ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO MECould Sandro make it any more obvious with this abhorrent jobber babble?
>>288210124>Yumigahama is a giant human knifeI see... it all makes sense...
>sandro-san, how exactly did misasa overcome the size difference?
>>288210024The Raian fight was one of the highlights of the tournament.
>>288209316ONE WELL TIMED THROW WOULD TURN THE TABLES
>>288209371I lost the one version of Baki saying he'll avenge Yumi for his sister.
>>288210155>BurgersSo stupid, so hilarious
>>288209187Iai White Purity style?
>>288209211>>288209228>>288209243>>288209259>spamming jobber cries while imitating a weapon and being larger than his opponentIt's honestly a testament to Yumi's spiritual resilience that he didn't explode from such a buildup of cursed miasma.
>>288210038I'll leave it open to interpretation.
>>288210024This was worse. Yumi had build up as well as the "fang" title which at this point still meant something.Alan had nothing other than being related to Eddie somehow but that didn't count for much because we hadn't seen Eddie fight yet either.
>>288209347Another victory for the purgatory... so the strategy is just bringing glass cannons that will die easily so the opponent lose by purgatory rules...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bMrUSNIU6A
>>288210125See? This shit would've been better.But even then, the techniques aren't the main focus here. This is just Yumigahama gunning for the rights to the dojo and leading the master (and the master's relatives) on for the sake of being an ass, rather than just learning his techniques and fucking off, which is a perfectly fair thing to do when you're an underground fighter putting your life on the line for your CEO.Sandro could've just said "Yumigahama betrayed the people who taught him martial arts, at a time when they needed him most" instead of explicitly using the phrase "steal techniques" as if that is even a coherent concept.
>>288208810You could say his entire body is a knive.
>>288209156funny how this is true, Misasa probably could beat Lolong's ass with how mediocre he ended up being
>>288209445>23Goddamn
>>288210244This really could have used a backstory of him stealing secret techniques, abandoning people in the middle of fights, and maybe even killing people for their techniques
>>288210281Having to take care of your disabled little sister from a young age takes it's toll
>>288210285Busting into dojos in the dead of night to steal their secret scrolls would've make Yumi look cool, so we can't have that.
>>288209097I FUCKING LOVE ELBOWS
me watching these chapters unfold
>>288208930I still have no idea what we're actually supposed to be seeing here.
the 8th fight is the first good one. Not without its faults and it makes Purg look like a joke again but it's one of the first enjoyable bouts in the tourney. 7th (Raian) does not count as a fight lmfao but I did enjoy the absurdity of it
>>288210125Funnily enough, if Yumigahama did that to an assassination clan, especially one which is close to the Kengan Association, this could increase his likeability as a villain.
>>288209087>Outside his awareness"Invisible" one might say
>>288210147His bio in >>288209445 says he likes testing blades on people. My god, it's all connected.
>>288209051Let me attack with that one part of the body that freaks out if you touch it.
>>288210307Lick your elbow if you love it so much
>>288210279Nah, at least Lolong has some respectable (mostly offscreen) wins. Misasa never gets another fight so we don't have any sense of what he can really do. But he wasn't anyone's first choice for Fang, and his background is being on a team of guys with weapons, presumably fighting other guys with weapons. Lolong could unironically have taken him.
>>288209164Why did Sandro establish that Yumi killed someone AFTER condemning Yumigahama for the heinous act of stealing techniques? It's almost as if he was making this shit up on the spot and producing knee-jerk reactions to online comments pointing out how fucked up his morality is.
>>288209135Did they think a small arena isnthe same as a crammed space?
>>288208979This was probably some kind of beta test for Principles by Sandro but we'll never know.
>>288209331Doubling the request whats the edit
Ryuki? Stole Cosmo's technique to use on Akoya. A technique Cosmo stole from Muteba. The kengan association is guilty.
>>288210437Huh? But we his greatest sin was already mentioned before, which was betraying Metsudo
>>288209371WOAH
>>288209445>Likes: Testing blades on peopleEven here Sandro can't help but give him traits to make Yumigahama EVEN MORE VILLAINOUS without realising that his darlings Raian and Metsudo are also psychopaths.
>>288208921You see, in the flashback to a different style at the start of the chapter, your muscles had to move in tandem to recreate the power of a sword (To crush rocks, of course, which is a sword thing to do) thus you cannot recreate a spear with just one hand.In exchange, this gives you extra range, maybe, but also the ability to curve your moves (Which is a spear thing to do)
>>288208979>It's not about strength.>...>Ok, that's it, that's the entire explanation
>>288210458>I'm sure to win because my elbow is softer
>>288209175>Talk about the limited space>All of a sudden the space is enormous enough to fit 100 Yumigahama's in the last panelSandwich...
>>288210482I like to imagine he does it with his martial arts, so he's just thrusting air at people randomly.
>>288208976Sandro who the FUCK are these, intro boxes NOW
>>288209445Holy shit he's only 23 lol
>>288208817>fag out boy versionWhat the fuck, bro?>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX2mopyE5Z0
>>288209406>keep in-person meetings to a minimumThe begining of a massive "tragedy"...
>>288209574I guess the difference is that Koga is learning from masters honestly, where Yumigahama brown noses and when he gets what he wants he splits immediately.
the steal techniques thing probably got so much flak that Sandro has to shit on Yumi whenever he brings up another character with a custom style like Jeancholas and Omori. This is after Koga beat his hobo ass off the manga btw
>>288209224Thats just how everyone hears him, he was praising Misasa for his good play and wanted to continue having a clean fight where no one gets hurt
>>288209051Those images of Soft and Hard explain nothing.Anyways it took like 4 chapters for them to even reveal what Misasa uses.
>>288209270>Medel can't do shit to Gaolang because size difference>Lihito is LE TOO FUCKING HUEG for Falcon to land a knockout blow>Misasa vs Yumigahama? SIZE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE
>>288208862>>288210125>>288210244>>288210285What little we see of Yumi proves he's too dimwitted and impatient to even be capable of this level of deception.Sandro could've just said he crushes dojos with the backing of Metsudo, unlike Koga who just does it alone. There, much simpler.
>>288210570I fear for what Luohan will have to endure until Sandro is done with him
>>288208979Naturally.
>>288209249It's crazy how every attempt Sandro made to make Yumi look bad also made others look bad as a side effect.>Himuro thought this guy was as strong as Agito so now we know Himuro doesn't know shit no matter how often he's called a legend>Jose has ascended to giga jobber status because he was nearly killed fighting him>Metsudo knew Yumi would betray him before he even left so the guy Yumi killed died a preventable death>Misasa doesn't even look strong because he beat the weakest fangI'm sure there's more but damn imagine hating your own character so much you launch a tactical narrative nuke to obliterate his credibility regardless of the collateral damage.
>>288209156If not for the special rules, Yumi might even win. He must be Rolon tier.
>>288210538It was for Misasa :)
>>288209123Did you miss the part where Gaolang was beating the shit out of Carlos.
>>288209406>covid was indeed the real period when the editor started meeting them less
>>288209051>SilatI remember there was also a fighter in Kenichi who used this.
>>288210125People really overestimate Yumigahama's intelligence.Believe me, if he even had half of that level of deception, he would not be languishing as a bottom-rung hitman working for the yakuza, whom he also royally pissed off.
>>288210570"I couldn't give enough of a shit to come up with a fighting style for Omori so just give him Yumi's style and I'll add a comment about how it's okay when we do it."
>>288209164But why. Did Yumihagara escaped the estate like fucking Sasuke when he turned the leaf? He just took another fucking contract, he doesnt even need to tell them.
>>288209923That was ages ago, the "rules" have changed.
>>288209145The top panel doesn’t make sense, aren’t ninja swords and katanas the same thing?
>>288210279Lolong did literally everything a guy with no special abilities could do against a guy who literally had infinite super powers on tap.
>>288210682
>>288209324Bro that jaw hit must be fucking illegal.
>>288209371Is he okay?
>>288209587Could A-Train defeat Homelander if Homelander carried a knife?
>>288210570Sandro seriously focuses more on Yumigahama stealing techniques than he does a contract killing. He retconned that Yumi killed Yasunaga because someone paid him to.
>>288209347REF
>>288209837The first season was fine
>>288210682>Going somewhere past master's curfew, Yumigahama? That won't do.
>>288208862>Every martial arts copied from every other martial arts and call themselves different style>He can't do that because....he just can't!
>>288209371Wouldn't it be interesting if Metsudo sent in Misasa just to fucking kill Monke, not even caring about getting a win for the team?Now THAT'S subversive story telling to keep Purg in the lead while it still being a win for Kengan!
>>288210731I don't even remember that. Who the hell paid him to kill some shitter bodyguard?
>>288209371>For the crimes of not saying thank you to martial arts masters after learning their techniques and murdering a bodyguard me and the boys all hallucinated, you have been sentenced to skull implosion followed by buck breaking.
>>288209944I actually liked Toa's character a bit, he was frustrated that he lived in a crazy family that worshipped his great-great-x10 unga bunga caveman grandfather like a God. If only he wasnt a not-Julius jobber
>>288209406Burning Yumi like that was retarded, but Silat is a good fighting style.
>>288210570>He doesn't cherry-pick like YumigahamaOh, so stealing techniques is fine, what Yumi did that was REALLY bad, was his cherry-picking. Truly, only the true scum of the earth do that.>>288210756Sandro doesn't know, is my guess. He reveals this in a volume extra and does fuck-all with it. He's classy like that.FUCK YOU SANDRO FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>>288208862First he swaps companies, now he STEALS TECHNIQUES BY BEFRIENDING PEOPLE? God I can't wait for this guy to be executed
>>288210570It's really interesting to speculate how much of the writing you see in any given modern work (for any author, not just Sandro) is actually the author's vision and how much of that work is just compensating or damage control due to the actions/reactions of fans/readers.After all, we live in a world where everyone has internet and where writers always have the means to immediately see what readers/fans think of what they've written.It's literally just one click away.No matter how much a writer tells people via interviews that he doesn't bother with reading comments from his readers, there is no doubt that the temptation to do so is always on his mind due to how ridiculously easy it would be for him to take a quick glance at forums. And I also have no doubts as well that writers, who are oftentimes very sensitive and/or insecure, want validation from their readers, so with reader feedback being so easily accessible, the possibility of writers doing things in response to their readers (instead of their original vision) is higher than ever these days.Webm unrelated. Just felt like posting it.
>>288209324>>288209347>>288209371For my money this is still the most brutal combo anyone's landed in Omega
>>288209890I dont think the fight is bad per se, the backgrounds and the characters suck and its a one sided beatdown but I really like the movement and how brutal and fluent the beatdown feels.
>>288209010His chin is like a knife
>>288210767Tell me more about Silat. I'm guessing it's a very elbow heavy style. Where else does it show up?
>>288209406>I like Misasa's droopy eyes.droopy eyes are cute, right
>>288210814Go and watch The Raid and The Raid 2. Probably the most influential modern action films.
>>288209000>holding two extra long knivesOh no, NOYUMIGAHAMAAAAAA OH GOD HE CAN'T HEAR ME HE HAS AIRPODS IN
>>288209445>He probably would've fought a bit better if Misasa hadn't set him up (?)>(?)Even Sandro doesn't know what the fuck that means
>>288209445Is there an actual source for the idea that he was cut because Daro didn't like drawing him?
>>288209135So whats the deal with Sumo wrestlers if being big makes you worse in a small ring?
>>288209371Asking for the bowl of cereal to be posted.
>>288210608Luohan stresses me the fuck out because I truly can't tell if Sandro is 100% aware of how he comes off as a character and is leaning into or if he genuinely intends on having him killed off as some point with a final dose of "god he was just so vile, truly the most heinous man ever (off-screen btw)" and we're just supposed to nod along going "yup yup deserved" when it happens.
>>288210622>so the guy Yumi killed died a preventable deathOh you mean like EVERY BODYGUARD WHO DIED during the KAT sans the ones Setsuna slaughtered randomly?
>>288209848You can say that again.At least Yumigahama puts in the effort and actually transforms what he learns into something new.>>288210777Checked.All those comments and Sandro doesn't even bother to pick up the good ideas that people casually drop on the forums. The longer I read Omega, the longer I believe he is fundamentally an insecure hipster.
>>288209211Honestly one of the cooler poses in the fight
>>288210740Stop kidding yourself
>>288209647Please understand, Misasa is all about being able to do things without using strength.How, you ask? We had a whole flashback that explains all of it.>He just can, okay?
>>288209445Maybe the roughest manga and anime 23 I've ever seen dear lord
>>288208826It's depressing how Sandro can't commit to showing his precious cow taking even a single real hit
>>288210900Working for metsudo is basically joining a death cult.Your life is his to play with as he sees fit, he demands utter devotion and if you leave you will be hunted down.
>>288209156Just stand in the middle of the ring, whats Misasa going to do about it, push him away?
>>288210931Misasa isn't even an OG kenganvenger, just a random bodyguard that got promoted in between the series
>>288210622>Koga also gets to look awful later on by insisting on a runback against an even weaker, washed-up Yumigahama (NOT helped by the fact that he already did the same to a homeless Xia Ji who was threatened with murder by Shen and Yan if he didn't follow orders)
How to fix monkeybackstory>The day before his betrayal he took a dive for a lot of money from one of Purgatory execs>Quits and joins purgatory>When confronted kills someone>Maybe add something how one of the previous fangs trained him in some secret techniqueThere.
>>288210896he really is just late-Omega's version of tournament-Yumigahama. So powerful that his actions in rejected drafts make it into the manga's canon
>>288210938Apparently Yumi can't get a single hit on him despite his massive reach and weight advantage while Misasa can strike him for days with low-reach strikes using his elbows
>>288210027For a second I thought Himuro was EMIYAoddly relevant to the monke fight in a way
>>288209371He's fucking dead, dude. That's a huge win for Purgatory, great job Yumigahama
>>288209647~80 kg is about the weight of Ohma, just to add even more perspective.
Barbecue time in less than 14 hours! Are you all ready?
>>288210931Imagine a guy who's like two feet taller than you, a whole person heavier than you and who is also a gifted fighter slugging you right in the jaw.Either misasa has a skull like saw paing's or he made the tendons in his face go limp to disperse the damage.
>>288209393This fight could have been an AI-generated email about how cool and strong Misasa is. Dogshit
I don't know if my heart is in it for this reread.The more delve further into later kengan, the more i sink into despairI'm going to go insane by the end of this arc, and won't even make it for the gaoh reveal or real tournament
>>288210759And the punishment of wearing a face thong for the rest of your life despite the fact that you live in a universe where snapped necks can be fixed and where dead hearts can be replaced like lego.
>>288210950On paper I like the idea of the massive named Kengan Asura background cast being used for roles in Omega. On that note, why was the 8th (or just 7th but I disgress) Fang not Yoshioka? He's actual friends with Ohma, it would've been a cool team dynamic.
>>288210858>Metsudo wants to watch Yumi get absolutely humiliated and destroyed>Toyoda is likely open to making deals with Metsudo>special rules match is declared>Misasa is very eager to fight under them>rules that coincidentally favors Misasa and puts Yumi at a disadvantage>there are no more special rules matches for the rest of the tournamentActually not a bad chance some foul play happened here.
>>288209620
>>288209445>23Bro??????? That's a fucking rough 23
>>288211018You could easily have established that Yumigahama murdered Yoshioka if Sandro really wanted people to dislike him.
>>288209633>>288209664cute
>>288210956I think Sandro misunderstanding of Yumi's appeal is on full display in that fight. He is aware Yumi has an unusually large a fanbase for a jobber but doesn't seem to know WHY people like him. He seems to believe fans enjoyed hating him and watching him fail, classic hate sink loser type character. The actual truth is most of Yumi's fans recognize he's just an asshole but not really a bad guy in the grand scheme of things and sympathize with how poorly the narrative has treated him. So when he brings Yumi back in a pathetic fashion and has Koga beat on him he's trying to appeal to who he THINKS Yumi's fanbase is, not who they actually are.
>>288209841We're not even close to the most retarded shit.
>>288211049>The Traitor FangMakes me laugh every fucking time. There is no way Purgatory refers to him as "The Traitor Fang".
>>288209841>it only gets worse, doesn't it?Yes. Everything from chapter 50 onwards is downhill. You have no idea how bad it gets. Get ready to "scale the wall" with us.
>>288209602If it were any other writer I'd happily give it the benefit of the doubt and say Himuro was deliberately baiting Agito into signing up by any means necessary. But it's Sandro so he definitely meant that when he wrote it...
>>288210658Yes, the demon fist god, on par with elder
>>288208862NO DIGNITY
>>288211083Well they can't announce his backstage epithet "bitch nigga" to the audience so this is what they went with.
>>288210845One of my favorite edits.
>>288209164>sends bodyguards after him who were so aggressive that Yumigahama felt the need to kill them to shake them offIt makes you wonder what Metsudo would have done to Yumigahama if he actually got caught
>>288210228
>>288209647>>288209243And here's Okubo taking a hit from the former Fang with only about a 10 kg weight difference between them back in Ashura
I think I remember an anon asking for source on Daro disliking drawing Yumi, so here. From the description of one of his streams.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKeMEAaK-Es
We are 100 replies to the limit. Nu-kengies are gone, post your rarest images.
>>288210697He probably meant kodachi
>>288211049>>288211083>>The Traitor FangDefinitely an epithet Sandro just slapped on to the guy haphazardly.>>288210756I'm really confused why he wrote that Yumigahama was following the orders of somebody else when he killed Yasunaga. What was the point of that? When there are literal assassination clans as part of the KA, why should I give a shit if Yumi did a contract killing?>>288209057>>288210594Sandro couldn't even let Metsudo lose the tournament without stating it was part of his plan all along, or even let Hayami get one over on Metsudo by making it so Metsudo knew about Hayami's plans all along.I understand why people cope about Sandro's writing by insinuating that Sandro meant to focus on Yumigahama's betrayal (when later additions make it clear that Sandro is focusing on "stealing techniques"), but the premise falls apart when you realise what that requires.If Sandro actually had to write this, he would write that every single dojo knew what Yumi was doing all along Metsudo-style, and just gave their techniques to him out of charity/a greater scheme.
>>288211083his true epithet if King of the Jungle
>>288209164Not that guy, not him!>>288209360Oh yes, the 3D Jerry of TGS. Man I hate that talentless frenchie faggot
>>288210863
Yumigahama pirated the masters' apps, which is criminal in nature. Low morals gaijins wouldn't understand.
>>288210922I'm not
>>288211173I actually drew this one and I wonder if anyone else saved it.
I used to scoff at those garbage "video essay" that are like ten hours long because how can you squeeze so much material out of star wars or whatever but I finally get it now because I could rip on this fight for hours and not get tired.It is an absolute masterclass in bad writing.
>>288209384If you look closely, he is smiling because he managed to endure and he knows they wont come after him anymore
>>288209445>23I recall this was a honest suprise a couple of years ago. Man, time sure flies.
>>288211173I tried to get into a habit of making edits with Yumi in them during the current arc but I got bored.
>>288210697When people say katana with no other context they mean the two-handed sword with a curved bladeThe stereotypical ninja sword is a short sword with a straight blade and square guard
>>288211049This also succinctly explains the treatment of Lu Tian.
>>288209316That face makes him look like a [BIG SHOT]
>>288209270>>288209796>
>>288211049>So when he brings Yumi back in a pathetic fashion and has Koga beat on him he's trying to appeal to who he THINKS Yumi's fanbase is, not who they actually are.This approach worked perfectly with Xia Ji though because a good chunk of his fans want to see the "twink" get his shit pushed in. Of course there was a lot of outrage and pity when his last arc was dumped but Yumi still gets loyal fans and arguments about how he's done while I'm the only Ji bemoaner we need.>>288211238I have it saved but not listed in a way I can find it.>>288211203Kek, and god I miss him.>>288211294I'm not sure there's even a good moment to put him in other than this.
>>288209406Thanks OPNow I tend to hate Misasa and wish Yumigaha won
>>288211340>This approach worked perfectly with Xia Ji though because a good chunk of his fans want to see the "twink" get his shit pushed inThat's just ryonafags.
>>288209187>Sakimori style
>>288211340Xia Ji's treatment was fucking atrocious and I despised that arc for what it did. At least Xia Ji got to rest, while Yumigahama gets to be randomly brought up again literal years after the KvP ended to be shitted on. Leaving Xia Ji alone was mercy from Sandro.
>>288209445>That trigger wordkek
>>288210922up to season 3 it was fine but dropping in quality then it royally shits the bed in the last parts of season 3 and nosedives massively into pure dogshit
>>288208862Sandro, you literally had a page during Ohma vs Kaburagi where Nogi victim-blames scamming victims. You can't just walk back on that now. You gotta stay loyal to the norms you established, especially when the """stolen thing""" isn't even something that can be stolen."Stealing techniques", what the fuck does that even mean?
>>288209459Rei is hot, that's the difference. Wouldn't mind her killing me.
>>288211431B-But Yumigahama is alluring, too, in his own way...
At least Raian fight have UPSCALE MEME face
I remember after KvP I was huffing industrial strength copium that Yumi would be back and this time he'd be strong because Metsudo acknowledged he had potential and Yumi's bio said he was lazy so naturally he'd come back after training hard and showing us how dangerous he could be if he fulfilled his potential.By the time he re-appeared I wanted him to stay gone. I saw what happened to Lu Tian, I saw what happened to Xia and I didn't want to see what would happen to my boy. As far I was concerned he could stay in the shadow realm and I could headcanon that he was too busy working to pay his sister's medical bills to show up again.
You can tell how good a fight is by the amount of spoiler tags that are in the thread.
>>288211157That "razor"...

>>288211350I suppose "fan" is a really strong word to use but that's still pretty much all of Ji discourse. One of the biggest actual fans and few remaining artists likes to draw Ji suffering, not always, but particularly.>>288211398Agreed, I was there with the dumps and the panel where he got fake out cut up caught me and I genuinely got furious. Little did I know the whole arc was going to go like that. I coped all the way through it that things would get better, fuck I still coped years later.>>288211498There has never been a case where a lazy fighter got markedly stronger when a fire got lit under them, has there?
At least the next fight is one of the better ones of this tournament
>>288211238Not half bad anon. You got talent
>you now remember the giga cope of some anons saying that Monkey was killed and substituted by a worm clone before the tournament
>>288211550I think Hatsumi might be the closest example we have and he still got crushed
>>288209445>Age: 23What the fuck?You mean Metsudo made a 21 year old his top bodyguard?>Trigger words: "Wait, you're younger than me?"LMAFODid sandwich ever confirm that yumi was always intended to be this young?
>>288210563>where Yumigahama brown noses and when he gets what he wants he splits immediately.That's not theft, though. That's just being a jerk, the same way randomly punching a guy in the liver to get somebody else's attention is being a jerk.
>>288209457>Would you say it's even top 5 compared to everything that followedIt's one of the most insulting because of how much MONKE is villainized, but worse fights will happen art-wise and bullshit techniques wise.

Not to mention there is a special rule in this fight that gives him an advantage due to his large size!jk the twink half his weight toys with him the entire time>Wow I can't wait to see what techniques this martial arts master usesA bunch of nonsense weapon mimic styles that fail to make even a dent on MisasaSuch a cockblock of a fight
>>288211692This guy and his whole "friends" group should be murdered
I have a "special rules" challenge for you anons: say something positive about this fight.
>>288211715That sounds a bit extreme. Guess they're hypocrites and defended some trash but they're not wrong about everything.
>>288208784Why is his name so long?
>>288209323They say it outright, it's not the monkey losing that's surprising, it's him getting embarrassingly bitched in a complete stomp.

>>288211734I like the shrinking ring gimmick. The idea is cool and the end where the last bit of light fades out on the loser is a nice touch.

>>288208921Looks like he's playing pool with an invisible cue

>>288211806I like ds2 as well, I've long since "ran" from the gu ritual that are Dark Souls threads.
>>288209406So the ashura editor was still in this shit even after chapter 50? Did he just stop caring?
Every thread until you like it
>>288212104The editor was killed and replaced with a worm clone.
>>288210863Back when Daro still streamed on YouTube his live descriptions also had a FAQ including which character he hated, that being the answer. My favorite was the >Q: Is Terashi *******? (yes it was written like that)>A: shut up.

>>288211328kekI'm seeing the resemblance.he even ends up homeless
>>288211735they are possibly the worst format possible to see those "not wrong" takes in tho, its literally just soulless and cynical "content" where their goal is to stretch shit out for as long as possible because they have trained their audiences believe that if they nitpick every individual frame of something shitty they are building a stronger argument against ittheir takes are also generally pretty shit 90% of the time and just amount to fandom brainrot instead of any meaningful analysis
>>288212199That's Cosmo Xia Ji preforming more pro wrestling moves he watched on tv when?

>>288211596When Metsudo said he had potential, he literally just meant he was still a kid
>>288209324Can anyone here tell me what we call a little person?
>>288208862And there it is. I get what Sandro is trying to say but we're in an Underground Org full of murderers, using this as another excuse to hate Yumi shouldn't even be a big deal in-universe unless you were some dumb sensei who couldn't identify a rat right in front of them>>288208915>>288208930>"DON'T WORRY, MISASA ISN'T IN ANY ACTUAL DANGER GUYS!"Piss off. Completely kills the tension when the author confirms this fight was already decided before it ended>>288209156>"I had no duty to warn my TEAMMATE in this TOURNAMENT about the incoming disadvantage he'd have to worry about"What a fuckin' douche. Purgatory eats a loss because they didn't like their own guy enough to give him a warning>>288209243Enough of the fucking "Attack landed actually no it didn't!" shit
>>288209316This page always reminded me of Alexander Anderson.
>>288209457This fight was when I knew we had passed the point of no return.And then it somehow gets even worse.
>>288211596I mean Cosmo was a KAT fighter at 19, a martial arts savant like Yumi was probably plenty powerful at 21
>>288211715I like em
>>288209841hahahaha
>>288211428Anon sandro can't remember what he established earlier in this very series and you're expecting him to remember something he mentioned in the beginning of Ashura?
>>288210980And despite characters literally bringing up a few chapters ago that Yumi is very fast for someone his size
>>288209457I'd say it contains just about all of Sandro's worst writing habits in regard to antags/villains.>Villain/antag is constantly being dragged/humiliated, little to no solid on-screen showcasing to really make readers either dislike them or fear for the 'good' guys.>The constant re-writing of everything surrounding them ultimately making the villain/antag look worse/weaker and therefore makes their eventual defeat even less satisfying, or leaving the 'good' guys looking worse (Can Metsudo PLEASE just die)>The start and probably most prominent example of Omega's morality basically becoming pic related
>>288211017He probably came to hanafusa and he intentionally fucked up his face even more for being so evil
>>288211764Ramon somehow one-up Carlos in changing his personality every chapter. Imagine a murderhobo who signed up for the fucking JDF to fight more posturing about "evil"
>>288209841There's a whole fight that is genuinely accepted as one of if not the best fight in the whole tournament and [/spoiler] Lolong intervenes, completely ruining the whole vibe and cutting the match short, all so Sandro can convince you he's totally strong [/spoiler]
>>288210821Girls with droopy eyes are sexo
>>288210930Hanayama still takes the cake
>>288211734misasa's cute droopy eyes
>>288211734There were like two or three cool Yumi panels
>>288209445>He had a blond mushroom cut. Making him look like an evil cosmo.
>>288211734It killed the enthusiasm a lot of bootlickers had for post-CH50 Omega. I remember we still had a lot of zealots (especially Raianfags who were still waiting for their pretty little snowflake princess to kick ass), but a significant chunk of the bootlickers got completely demoralized by how the fight turned out. It was enough to kill off coinsposting for the rest of the tournament.
>>288208784>"Kengan">something is "at stake"Uh huh.Lemme guess; "everyone remembered," and the loser "never recovered." Right?
>>288212870Understandable. Yumi being rendered inconsequential after a year of build up was only the beginning however.
>>288208838Oh riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight... "hitting my palm" is the universal "haha, didn't hurt" defense.
>>288208862left lower panel looks like that kino spam pic in isekai thread
>>288209164>When you were running away from the masterSo was Yumi a slave?, is that why he had to fight a bodyguard in order to try an leave Metsudo ''employment''?
>>288208862IHATELEARNING
Newfag here. I can see why people were upset at the more innocuous Carlos fight when it came to the weaker dude getting his shit rocked by a bigger fighter. I still think the meat of that one is solid, but this definitely is the weakest fight so far. The reader has no connection to Missa; his strength isn't explained at all, and it really should've been Agito beating the shit out of Yumihaga so brutally.
>>288212953Agito left easily enough
>>288212982Monke should have Beat Misasa to use it as fuel for the Monkey vs Agito match
>>288210863No. Daro hating drawing him is true, but there's literally nothing suggesting Daro could have forced Sandro to do something like that.Yumi's treatment is perfectly in line with every other built up antagonist, and with other examples of Sandro's psychotic morality when it comes to "mean" characters who aren't part of the chungus association.
>>288210024 Raian's fight is more comical because of what Sandro thinks is cool and edgy. We spend chapters building up Yumi just to watch him get raped, Alan just gets told to pipe down and shut up whenever he opens his mouth and then gets ripped in half mouth first and then Eddie and the other Wu Hei's shittalk about him
>>288212982The problem with Carlos's fight goes beyond that. It also served as a terrible first fight because it failed to show Purgatory as any kind of a serious threat due to them needing to rely on a technicality to actually win. It wasn't helped by the next fight (Hayabusa/Falcon) also failing to show Purg as a threat. Julius wasn't in much trouble either. And now we have arrived at this fight, the biggest joke of all the 4 first fights. So when are we getting a fight that truly shows Purgatory to be a threat? The answer is (don't hover over this next spoiler if you're still "green"): NEVER
>less than 5 hours to go over 500 postsBueno
>>288213001Monke vs Koga fight you mean.
>>288213116Naidan is this until he decides he's had a long enough life. R9 with Akoya vs. Nicolas feels like the first real fight where both fighters could kill the other and of course it isn't allowed to conclude naturally.
>>288213116Naidan did look strong and was goading Ryuki to kill him. Jurota's moveset was kinda retarded but the narrative pointed out that Masaki abused purg rules a fair amount to pull off the win
>>288210622>>Jose has ascended to giga jobber status because he was nearly killed fighting himHe lost twice btw, Yumi brutalized him in their rematch that jose said he'd get his runback on and all he could manage was a broken arm
>>288212174
>>288210886
>>288208826The attack... unbuttoned his shirt?
You now remember>remove the supporting characters
>>288213328we are still months away from that, I believe
>>288210125That would have actually made him look despicable. Unlike... *checks notes* ...learning techniques.
>>288213286>Guy who's design is just Terashi but buff and with a face is hard to drawShut the fuck up Daro, no wonder he started using Ai>>288213324You see, Sandro was so appalled at the idea of Yumi landing a clean hit that he instructed Daro to not draw any blood coming off Misasa's faceYumi punched him in the face from the look of it but it basically did 0 damage
>>288212812its a shame cuz, like a lot of the new omega characters that get utterly wasted, i like his design
>>288213357>>Guy who's design is just Terashi but buff and with a face is hard to drawyeah but the face is the bit that's killing him, he clearly struggles a lot trying to show the hooked/bulbous nose in 3d space which is why his face randomly gets really sharp and chiseled in a completely different way whenever he's shown from any other angles that arent straight on
>>288213399I think if Daro wasn't also drawing a new twisted expression on his face 24/7 like he was following the Ren & Stimpy philosophy of "never draw the same face twice" this wouldn't have been as much of a problem
>>288208862Don't mind me just pirating your technique
>>288208915What do Sandro and a vampire have in common?They're both afraid of stakes!
>>288208915>>288208930>first match: Purgatory wins via ring-out>second match: Purgatory wins via poisoning>third match: Purgatory gets one-shot>fourth match: Sandro has to assure us that Kengan is holding backWhy does he do this? Can't he at least pretend that the Kengan fighters are in danger before they win with no visible damage?
>>288209000Imaginary knives do not count towards the knife counter.These are just an abstract representation of Yumi's jobber aura.
>>288213286This must have been during purgatory considering all the purgatory related questions. Imagine the size of the cactus that lives in his ass now if he was already this stuck up back then
>>288208988>>288209000>>288209010>>288209062It's incredible how every word out of this man's mouth is a jobber flag.
>>288209890>>288209954Excited to see the results of this one tomorrow.
>>288209051still 0 explanation of what makes anything soft or hard? What's soft about an elbow or throwing someone headfirst into the ground at breakneck speed? Is Agito's liquid form soft or hard?
>>288209164>>288210437Yumi's sins were recounted to us in order from most to least severe.>leaving a job for one with better benefits>being nice to martial artists to learn techniques from them>murder

>>288213286lol I'm a front-facing creative that has to deal with thousands of people and I have never once been this bitter about it. can fans be annoying? yes. can you not get this overly hostile about it? yes. I guess it is youtube comments though, and likely from a bunch of people who barely speak english, so I get it a little
At least our boy can no longer suffer, right guys?
>>288213286Jesus I've seen old safeway cashiers on graveyard shift with more cheer than this.
>>288213771I think he's doing a stream about something completely unrelated at that moment. The NHK author streams his writing sometimes to like 2 viewers and I think I'd right tick him off asking retarded questions. Let alone in English about a volatile current manga as the artist.>>288213790I vaguely remember this art being of Yumigahama, do you remember Monkebro?
>>288213805>I think he's doing a stream about something completely unrelated at that moment.On one hand, that makes more sense, but on the other hand, you really had to expect the outcome, surely.
>>288213829I think even if you'd expect it, you would hope not. This is in his (said to be meagre) free time as well. I'd assume he'd also would've used to stream back before Omega/Ashura to less pressure.
>>288213805>do you remember Monkebro?NTA, who's that? Yumigahama has too many loyal fans for me to single one out.
>>288213864I checked myself and it's just something Black Souls related it looks.>Yumigahama has too many loyal fans for me to single one out.I managed to single out the one who draws him in the waifu/husbando paint threads once, good times.
>>288213887We lost too many fanartists over the years.This sucks.
>555 postslmao
>>288213328You made me mad. I hate Sandro so much.
why is everyone in this thread mean to me
>>288213354Luohan manages to be an even greater fumble. All Sandro had to do was establish that he's the person supplying Tiger Niko with child soldiers, and also the person brainwashing the Worm mooks. How he managed to fuck that one up, I have no idea.
>>288213354Yumigahama already came across as an asshole who is unpleasant to be around. Sandro should've just accepted the pettiness of singling him out and leaned into it with things like Koga's grudge *cough* *cough*, instead of insisting on making Yumi evil.
>>288213354>>288214158>>288214176
>>288208821>grabs his collar>>>288208826>yanks itWhat would that even do, inconvenience him because he needs to sew a new button? What the fuck, Sandbitch?
>>288208862HUH?
>>288214158>BrainwashingI think worms just do it voluntarily. Every Ji mook took the pre-cyanide and at best we know Naiden got worm scouted by his master and became a suicide schizo'er.
>>288208979That doesn't explain shit.
>>288209010Holy shit, he's actually a character from Gakuen Handsome!
>>288209164LITERALLY WHO?!
>>288209393I'm more entertained by anons dunking on this fight than the fight itself. Thanks, faggots.
We go now to the "other side" of "the wall".
>>288210697No, it's a language barrier thing. Katana refers to swords in general, but they still have differing sizes. Nodachi is a longsword, Wakizashi is a shortsword, which samurai would typically carry as a sidearm specifically for close quarters.
