I actually think part of the problem is none of his hits look like they have any weight behind them (which is a consequence of him fighting Water elemental Kano I suppose)
We're told how high level his attacks are but we're never really shown it, it's a problem with Omega as a whole really.

I forgot how bad this fight was. It's literally just Lu Tian babbling like a gigajobber and not doing any damage to Agito, while Agito is all
>Hmph, there's no way a "puppet" like "you" could defeat "me". Get "lost".

while the two of them flail at each other like drunkards. It's really sad to think the same writer who created the awesome Agito v Gaolang fight in Ashura made this. Really sad.
>>
>>288285753
the more i think about this character the less sense he makes
kanoh isn't really going thru some sorta emotional strife by being reminded of his past, neither is he coming to question his existing assumptions or doubting himself, so lu tian doesn't really work as a foil/rival to him, at most he's a small "lore" drop about there being more people who underwent gu rituals (tho the implication that agito somehow got less out of it because he got found by metsudo instead of kitty niko feels pretty dumb considering both their formless look and behave the exact same way)
the reveal of him being a worm agent also doesn't achieve anything, was anything hinging on him NOT being one? it's not like this is revealing that purgatory was infiltrated, we already knew that, neither is he some sorta important figure, naidan was much closer to being plot relevant and is not hyped up nearly as much
he doesn't even work as spectacle or a wall to scale considering its a mirror match
the only purpose this entire match has is to tell us agito got a power up

My favorite fight is the one where the bad guy spends the whole fight saying how strong he is and how weak the good guy is even though he's barely doing any damage.
Then the good guy says something really cool that amounts to "no u" with a stoic expression.
Really makes me hyped and lets me know who I should be rooting for every chapter because I'm a kengan reader and sandro thinks I'm a drooling retard who eat crayons for breakfast.

Damn, so Agito's ass comes from the gu ritual

I think daro was trying to convey how fluid formless is in an exaggerated way kinda like how he drew Rihito with machetes for fingers but it doesn't land.
I don't know if it's too half assed or if it's used too often but it comes across as "and then Agito did a cool move that was avoided and then Lu Tian did a cool move that was avoided".
It's like two T-1000's fighting and it just looks goofy half the time.

>>288286031
The best good faith interpretation would be that Formless is the end result El Tigre was going for and that whatever training he was putting forth on his meat fodder students was in service of that.
Train these kids in a very particular way that when they'll be put in constant intense fighting to the death, whoever is successful will naturally what can be considered the Formless style (the ability to form a martial art on the fly to adapt to the opponent's as well as becoming a water elemental) by surviving.
Closest comparison I believe is when Mom Hair Niko taught Ohma Demonsbane

This is even worse than I remember it being. Maybe one of the worst fights in this entire arc, and that's saying something.

No choreography, just two retards flailing around like spastics and occasionally phasing through each other with the power of magic water transformations. Formless versus formless was an awful idea.

Isolation is probably part of the ritual.

You could make this match have a fantastic payoff just by having Kanoh help rehabilitate Lu Tian in the same way Metsudo did for him after this arc. That gives it all the payoff it would need. Have the two of them fight against TN and have him kill Lu Tian for a bit stakes on both sides. Just a completely botched plotline.

>>288285456
Gilbert has never ever had even a quarter of the aura Eddie has on this one half-page.

It's funny how the discussion of this fight has way less spoiler tags than the previous one when Lu Tian and Agito are directly tied to Niko and therefore the worm.
Obviously it's because Shen elbowed every other villain out of the way and said it's his manga now and Ryuki is tied to him plus Naidan vagueposting for no reason.
It's still nuts how this fight should have been extremely plot relevant and it amounted to nothing.

It's probably the opposite. Koga and Kazzy can see what's happening but they can't understand it.
Ohma doesn't (visually) follow the movements but his Battle IQ is high enough he can still understand what's going on.

And in all that time, nobody noticed he had a giant black centipede tattoo on the tip of his tongue. Very believable.
Sandro could have easily bypassed this issue by:
1. Either making the tattoo something that only appeared when performing a very specific gesture (like Naidan).
2. Or making the tattoo something that he put on another part of his body, like his chest or even his forearm (like Naidan), but again, otherwise invisible unless he does a specific physical gesture.

But no. Sandrobitch is OBSESSED with these lame shock value reveals, even if they completely fall apart under the slightest bits of critical scrunity.

How many times do I have to say it? Kengan Omega post-CH50 is one of the worst manga to reread. Everything about it just falls apart when you think about it for a second.
But for me, the worst part is not the shittiness of the fights (and they'll get worse as we go on, especially AFTER the KVP tournament, can't wait for that!!!).
The worst part is just how absolutely nonsensical so much of the paneling is.
If you want a recent example of this, take the newest chapter with Metsudo commenting on Toa versus Jurota. Why are we having him comment on their fight instead of Idemitsu? You know, the OWNER of Purgatory who handpicked those two? We all know why this. It's because Sandro needs to remind us that Metsudo exists and that because he's shocked by what's happening, that it's actually a HYPUUUUUUUUUUUUUU fight. It's 100% purely manipulative. It doesn't matter how it doesn't make sense that Metsudo is the one that cares and is commentating.
And how padded everything is. Kengan Omega's pacing post-CH50 is somehow too fast and too slow. I can't quite eloquently describe it yet, but that's how it feels. Everything feels like whiplash. Minutes worth of progression can take dozens of chapters to go by, and then we'll have sudden flash forwards and time skips in like 1 chapter.

It's especially making me mad and demoralized because of Lu Tian's ultimate fate. He goes down in like the most humiliating way possible. With a fucking flashlight jammed in his head and half submerged in a pool of sewage. And his final pages of life in the dogshit world of Kengan Omega are him incomprehensibly screaming NIKO a billion times (which is made all the more pathetic seeing as how the much venerated and feared Niko is also humiliated and nerfed after all of this and makes Lu Tian's obsession with Niko even less plausible). I hate Sandro so much. He has such deep-seated contempt for Omega. If you put a bag filled with 100 million dollars, you just know he'd abandon Omega in a heartbeat. It's not like a lot of other mangaka who are driven by passion. Here there's no passion guiding him. There's no love.

Let's be honest, knowing Sandrobitch's "zero planning kata" school of writing, at this point Sandro hasn't even thought up Lolong's backstory yet. None of that shit about how he's the best Worm hunter with a trillion confirmed kills. None of that shit about how he has 400+ wins in Purgatory with zero losses. That's why all of his reactions to Worm fights hasn't been anger (at the betrayal) or excitement (at the prospect of killing Worms) in his speech bubbles, but rather ellipses. It's ambiguous enough so that Sandro has wiggle room to decide on what Lolong's personality is going to be. Hell, even by the end of the KVP fight, Lolong's personality hasn't been fully decided yet. At this point, he was still LE STOIC FAECCCC. He doesn't develop any semblance of personality until the Kuroki raid against Shen, at which point he develops a sort of somewhat interesting punky cockiness that he never once displayed before this because he was all STOIC FAEECCCCCC.

Don't forget Medel freaking out because Lolong is a loose cannon with insatiable bloodlust once he "moves". And then he wasn't when he actually did fight. And then he kinda was again sorta when team kuroki went to fight shen.

I think the best Lolong was when an anon surmised he might be a martial artist specializing in using the most underhanded and cruel techniques he could get away with, like twisting joints during a throw, grabbing weak areas like collarbones, etc. But like every other time, it was way too good compared to what we ultimately got.

We absolutely agree on his strategy. I wouldn't say there was a "lack" of "girls fighting". It's a fact that martial arts are primarily a men's domain. Under an unskilled author's pen, too many attempts look like men stories put through a gender-reversing filter, so garbage.

I'm saying Metsudo is unlikeable precisely because he's one of Sandro's favorite pets.

I'm no writer, but I think the impetus to write such a story should come from an appreciation of women's martial arts and their unique challenges compared to men's, to be able to write a story that's authentic and soulful. Too many authors would come at it from a place of mercantile cynicism ("if I write an all-female cast it'll sell better"), or plain otaku mental illness ("men are icky I'll just make every character a cute little girl").

I remembered those poses but I thought they were from the fight proper and someone edited musical notes into them, but no it's official material kek

A cute girl is an easy way to get people interested in your hobbies/former profession, more people should design big titty characters and partner them up with a flat chested cutie if they want more people interested in their hobbies

Shen would win by using some kind of Principles bullshit to swat the knife out of the jobber's hands without making skin contact with it (like the way he effortlessly swatted Mukaku's not-friends to death) and then simply put him in a bear hug and win by submission. Every time the jobber tries to kill himself Shen simply gives him CPR and restarts his heart

A bit over the top, no?

The ten count is reserved for when they can't get up due to damage, not to when they can't get up because the other guy is keeping them on the ground. Otherwise just tying the other guy up in a grapple so he loses no matter what if he can't slip out ASAP would be the meta.

Cute girls doing x doesn't work when x equals martial arts because hand to hand combat tends to make girls uncute really fast with bruises/bleeding/injuries (except to a niche minority who are specifically into that kind of thing).

>Gaolang thinks they're treating this important tournament like a farce
>Can't get Dido to stop playing in his head while he watches them "parry"
It's like the lyrics are his entire view on life during Kengan tournaments and Purgatory tournaments or any time away from his master.

It's not like the "fatal blow" the main Niko took was lethal either. At least not until the match with Gensai.

Can't get in a fight in the Kenganverse if you aren't ready to get down.

He's German.
He goes to trance clubs. He knows it when he sees it.

You'd basically be getting a story about Monke in a dress (and also he gets shoehorned into a video game role briefly), you realise?

God now I need an omake with Muteba, Julius and Gaolang, all in those shitty rapper outfits, at a club

It's interesting when you think about how the ideas that people come up with here after only a few minutes of angry brainstorming are far better than whatever ended up happening in the actual manga.
Really makes you wonder how much (or, rather, how little) thought actually went into writing Omega if the actual chapters are shit compared to our casual brainstorming.

I'm sure being in a sealed room with dozens of rotting corpses for three months won't have any negative consequences on your ability to survive despite the limited air supply.

I wonder how long it's going to take before Sandwich completely tunes out off SiR and Blue Ursus.
I haven't read either of them, but from what I understand reading the occasional comments about SiR in Keng/a/n threads, it seems like it's already falling into a lot of lame Sandroism tropes.
Sandro really is blessed with having MAAM as his artist for SiR and Danberu. That said, it won't be long before MAAM himself burns out the way Daro has and just phones everything in.

I like how even Kuroki's mystique has been shattered by Omega.
