Am "I" going insane? Today is wedsnesday but I'm not seeing any of "us".
I woke up and the first thought in my head was ''its omega Wednesday''. Im too ''far'' gone.
Just fucking offscreen the Toa and Jurota fight, this is completely pointless and just serves to further make them look bad.
>he doesn't know
Yeah....Toa >>> Julius in a real fight where they can use the terrainSorry but Julius just ain't good enough
>>288364703Should I catch up to omega? I dropped it after ohma came back but is it worth it
>>288364846it's never too late to turn back
>>288364846Just check few recent storytime threads and ask yourself that again
>No chapter this weekAre we seriously going back to the one break per fight format of the RCT? The last one was during or before the Gilbert vs Julius fight.
>>288364846It's not "worth it" in the sense that it only gets worse but it's worth it in the sense that once the madness takes hold of your brain there's a strange enjoyment in experiencing it, so you should read until you catch up to the daily and then follow along with that (honestly you may even want to catch up by reading the daily through the archives) because it's one of the best experiences you can have on /a/ right now.
>>288365039chatgpt servers were down please understand
>>288364816Each week we spend on fights no-one wanted is another week where sandro gets paid for barely doing anything.Barely anyone has been eliminated yet, he's aiming to drag this out until he can retire.
>>288364848>that NicolasHeh
>>288365058he has 3 manga going on simultaneously (1 about cute girls fighting, one about men fighting and one about big girls fighting)he's really unfathomable
>>288365058I think we're due for another rule change.
>>288364846You can quite literally just read the last 10 chapters and you'll be caught up.
>>288365085he'll be caught up because nothing really important happened but THINGS happened
>>288364846Remember when Sasaki was fighting Poseidon in Record of Ragnarok and we see that visual representation of fighting him where the sword hits the bottom only to open up an even deeper, darker abyss? That's Omega, except several fucking times because it never stops getting worse.
>>288365108Yeah...>Haruo beats up a gorilla>Gilbert JOBS again>Gaolang (3rd btw) is eliminated>Uhhhhh>Agito is still running>Some OC got in and said they're ending it all>The LEGEND tanks the strongest man on earth>Uhh...That's it I think?
>>288365213>The LEGENDBut Chiba didn't do anything yet...
>>288365287Let's be honest. Chiba is prime offscreenedbait just like Kim Janggi.

>>288364846Yeah, read it trough the daily omega threads. Shitposting with anons makes it fun.
>>288365641You don't have to "read" it for "that"...
We have at least a Yujiro VS Rammer chapter

At the end we got a worm... >>286619819
>>288364703Shut up. Sandro is taking another well-deserved break. Don't you know that hastily ad libbing rambling, padded out and incoherent scripts 5 minutes before your weekly manuscript deadline is due is grueling, soul-crushing work?
>>288366927>two breaks in one monthAnd it's ok when Itagaki takes a break every week for years because...?
>>288366967>because...Itigaki is a seventy year old man who doesn't use AIAs apposed to 40-something year old Yabako and Daro who use AI to do the bare minimum amount "work"
I got the timing wrong, but here's the new chapter. I've lost my mind

>>288367535CCchads... our response?
>>288368394You spooked me for a moment there. Had me thinking Pete got last second mogged.
To the anon who recommended catching Tsuyoshi at the start of the tournament on chapter 68. Sorry, but after four fights I called it quits. The choreography is still as awful as ever, every fight has a dumb gimmick, some straight-up annoying, and the "domination->flashback->however" rhythm is tired. All in all it really gave the impression of a dumb parody of martial arts manga that started to try to be an unironic martial arts manga. Thanks for the effort though.
>>288366213>Literally meWe've memed this phrase to such an extent that I don't know if you were indeed the anon who made that screencaped post or just a non-reading lurker.
>>288366967>b-b-but Ita-Itagaki does X!!!!Shut the fuck up Sandtroon you'll never ever even reach his ankle.
>>288368603There's no need for confusion, we're all me after all.

>>288367535Peak
>>288368634>No attempt at justification>"Y-You must be sucking Sandro's cock"Out of no where? Who said I worshipped Sandro?
>>288368767Comparing the lazy smug hipster who literally phones in his work he made up on the shitter five minutes before to the man universally recognised as the best martial arts mangaka is equivalent to worshipping sandro.
>>288368857Please, Itagaki has been phoning it in for over 15 years now. Musashi-dou is a work people worship but it's nothing but constant contradictions and wasted time.
>>288368876>Musashi-dou is a work people worship but it's nothing but constant contradictions and wasted time.Have you read the book of five rings? Have you practiced a martial art?
>>288368933>Have you read the book of five rings?Tolkien is for faggots
>>288368876Say whatever you want he draws his own shit.Not a single panel in Kengan has as much artistic merit as picrel.Off the top of my head there's like 10 different moments from Baki that will stick with me for life. Kengan is just i guess the bit about ohmer standing with his bones alone and thats it
>>288368933How heavy are dumbbells you lift?
>>288368964Exactly, though there's also the>Ohma is the me I wish I could've been>>288368963pic related
>>288368876
>>288368876>wasted timei love these buzzwords because it lets me dismiss your shit opinion as easily as you dismiss Baki.
>>288368876Bodied that tranny freak. Good job.
>>288369174real men don't need reasons
>>288361488I like your edits, so ignore the party poopers.
>>288368933Yes. Not that you'd believe me anyway, or that it matters in regards to Musashi's "arc". Motobe constantly yammers about protecting people but he's wrong each and every time. He doesn't protect Yujiro because we know he would have survived without effort and that Yujiro was dominating Musashi. Motobe says in order to fulfill his mission, he'll have to kill Musashi, which he then stops doing because apparently he wants to protect Musashi too, who then goes on to kill more people. Even the part about Musashi being a threat to their world is wrong because he only ever killed Retsu who explicitly wanted a deathmatch. He doesn't kill Doppo, or Shibukawa, he likely wouldn't have killed Hanayama if he just tanked his last slash (which Hanayama always does), he's very easily stopped from killing Pickle by Motobe just showing up, he doesn't kill any fighter other than Retsu. It's clear Motobe doesn't care about his being a threat to the public given his killing spree happens after it and nobody gives a fuck. Baki's never been about morality, but it'd at least make more sense at that point because Musashi isn't a threat to their world the way Motobe says he is whilst he is a threat to public safety. Musashi isn't as passive as that fucking faggot Shen but he's made out to be a threat in a similar way despite not actually doing much of anything. At least Baki doesn't have a scapegoat to throw all the piss and vinegar at like Luohan.>>288369174I don't dismiss Baki. I dismiss post-Son of Ogre. >>288368964I'll give you this. Itagaki never fell as far as Daro in illustrating. Not even close.
>>288366967>And it's ok when Itagaki takes a break every week for years because...?he's 70 and actually draws his own manga + the main story is literally concluded so these chapters are purely bonuses for long time fans
>>288369416>the main story is literally concludedSo is Asura
>>288369442Evil...
>>288369398>Yes. Not that you'd believe me anywayI'd believe you if you were a little bit more thorough in your answer.>or that it matters in regards to Musashi's "arc"It absolutely matters. Post-end Baki is essentially Itagaki simply putting his random reflections about strength and martial on paper. Itagaki sometimes changing his mind and following his inspiration of the week is what makes it so sincere and true to life despite the insanity. You nitpicking little details while misunderstanding entire metaphors like Musashi being a threat doesn't help your case and makes you look like an out-of-his-depth ESL from Argentina.>>288369442One strike of the knout on your back for every plot point that was left unresolved at the end of Ashura. How about that you coping idiot?
>>288369700So when are the strikes coming, I don't feel anything
>>288365689I have also been posting as a "green" poster in the storytime since chapter 50.No one one has caught on yet.
>>288367535Billy Craig mentioned
>>288367535USOGUI REFERENCE
Do people here always get this mad when Baki is criticized?
>>288369916Only when it's implied Kengan's better.Not a single soul would defend Sumo Dou
>>288369916I think it's the usual suspect who has some strong opinions about cute girls exercising and men hanging out in their free time
>>288369966Holy tulpa.>>288369916The Maximum Tournament anon translations were the original storytime in a sense.
>>288369700You'd come across as less disingenuous if you didn't mention >ESL from ArgentinaGiven my perfect English. It isn't a nitpick when the entire "story" of Musashi is based on how he doesn't belong in their era, which make sense on paper but they routinely try to make it about the fact that he'll kill the others when Musashi is very much merciful. If he was in any way like the story tried to make him out to be, he'd have slaughtered Doppo in their little bout, but he did not. Then again, he'd not get much in terms of fame from it unless word of mouth got by, which it very easily could given the full on army of shinshinkai practitioners ready to attack Dorian because of what he did to Katsumi in a secluded area. It reads like Luohan or Yumigahama who in Omega are repeatedly made out to be irredeemable bastards despite the toleration of way worse people like Shen, Raian or even Akoya around.
>>288369916That's where they've got it all wrong. I've never implied Kengan is better. Omega is so much worse than any of its contemporaries that there's no comparison. Baki gets the worship despite clearly just throwing shit at the wall. Anything after SoO is Itagaki just doing whatever he wants which is obvious to anyone but Musashi gets a ton of love despite having several almost Omega-tier scenes.
>>288370012>You'd come across as less disingenuous if you didn't mention>>ESL from ArgentinaIt was a comparison to that W*ldFang autist, meant as an insult.>If he was in any way like the story tried to make him out to be, he'd have slaughtered Doppo in their little bout, but he did not.It's not about actually killing them, it's about the destroyed illusion about what the original Bushido was. Did you really miss the point? Doppo even quotes directly the "Book of Five Wheels" for fuck's sake.
>>288370111Go ahead. I've changed my mind on Baki before but I've always been befuddled by Musashi. It makes the cast look like a bunch of frauds given the whole emphasis on fighting under risk of death with Ali Jr.
>>288367535CARACALPOSTING??we need an usogi storytime again
But why the ant face?
>>288370141I haven't read it since it finished back then, so you'll have to make do with my fuzzy memories, but at its heart Musashi-Dou is about the meaning of Bushido in modern times. Have you ever found it weird that we talk so much about this supposed "samurai code of honor" in a lot of dojos, while other martial artists like wrestlers or boxers don't care? Why does it even get sometimes repurposed by professions that have nothing to do with fighting, just like Sun Tzu was on every trader's lips during the 80's?Resuscitating Musashi is a way for the cast to measure up to who they hope will embody the purest Bushido, and their disappointment at their foolishness is why the story ends so anti-climactically with a surprise exorcism and Tokugawa apologising.Don't know if my post's clear, I don't feel like re-reading myself.
>>288370236I think it's meant to represent his usual opponents in Judo, and Sandrobitch must've forced Daro to add that uncanny face because in his profound contempt for his readership he must've thought that no one dumb enough to enjoy Kengan must be able to understand that the ants are meant to be a metaphor for the Judokas Jurota surpassed.
>>288370317You hate Sandro far too much for no reason. Take a break from Omega like Sandro did today.
>>288370236it's probably supposed to be a leaf or some food like a potato chip
NOGET ME OUT OF HERE
>>288370738It's less hate than contempt and disdain. I admit I regularly forget about wednesday threads , sometimes for a whole week. If anything I hate his fans.

>>288365689I have all the data I need to evolve my falseflag style further
>>288370856
>>288369954No I have seen plenty of people defend Sumo Dou around here. To the point I felt like I was going insane.
>>288368857>the man universally recognised as the best martial arts mangakaBaks is not respected for its depictions of martial arts. In fact it is actively terrible at depicting anything real fighters do because Itagaki is just a larper that seemingly never actually fought despite pretending to be a boxer.
>>288371173Hmm, that's already tired one. I'd like to "advance" my "vernacular" even further. Something like "simians", or "indiscriminate imbibers" maybe
>>288371283Careful "me", that is "treading" the grounds of the ""scholars"".
>>288371280He "fought" his "thirst", show some respect
>>288370141>It makes the cast look like a bunch of fraudsThey sort of are. The cast has a habit of getting bored, seeing a new toy to play with and either ducking because there's no way they're winning or surviving or they're doing what Doppo and Shibukawa did to Ali Jr>"I'm bored">"Then fight each other, you're all masters who personally know each other">"No"
>>288371178>Lets say, there was a man who could read the fastest out of everyone else.>Let's say, that man could read "at the speed of light.">Would such a man be the speedest of speedreaders?>NO!>When one can't possibly read any faster...>The only way is to "not have read at all.">Indeed.

>>288371423That's what we call "yogic reading"
>>288369916My favourite shonen series... I WILL protect it.. no matter what.
>>288371423You rang?

>>288367535>you've arrived at somnambulismkekdidn't expect "usogui" being mentioned in the kengan "omega"...
>>288365689In all fairness that was partially me also. Saw the omega threads constantly exist on this board, hopped onboard in the exact chapter Ohma humiliated Kiozan for no apparent reason. The seething at Jurota is still fresh in my head.
>>288371283>simiansCareful.We like apes around here.
"Where" is the "storytime"?
>>288367535Some people have pointed out the significance of Caracal being mentioned in this comic. Can I get a QRD? Is it a reference to a specific manga?
>>288371743https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2jgfMNmzUA
>>288371484Is Tough that influential?
>>288371559>Ohma humiliated KiozanKiozan is the one character that always has a spectacular performance. He fucking tanked the Demonsbane to the side of his head, mate!
>>288367535holy fuck it's fucking BILLYI love Billy.
You where awesome, daily Kengan...
>>288372084That DAMN BASTARD LUOHAN must have killed the storytime OP.
>>288371772Billy Craig, also known as Caracal, is a very based character from Usogui.
The "timing" is all wrong.
>>288351930I am sorry „me“ I couldn’t read yesterday days „dump and am linking to it too „catch“ up to „all of me“„I“ am still „green“ but „i“ will overcome the „wall“
>>288371795Tough definitely flies under the radar, but after reading some volumes I think Sandro borrowed more from Tough than he did Baki.
>>288372351"Borrowed". Could Yumigahara be his subconscious guilt over thieving surface level aristry and designs from other series
>>288372322Reminder tha
>>288370179I've been rereading it recently and I agree, it's such a joy to read I wouldn't even mind dropping it and starting over with /a/.
Hassad soon.
>>288371772Caracal is a character from Usogui that goes super-human berserk mode whenever he's unconcious, I don't remember if it has anything to do with sleepwalking though
>>288368876Firstly, Itagaki doesn't use programs like Stable Diffusion to do his work for him.Secondly, Itagaki is old. Thirdly, Baki's main story has already concluded, so everything past that is just a really long omake.The first part alone is already egregious enough to warrant a call-out. Omega is supposed to still have an intense plot where we are supposed to want to see the Kenganvengers win, but we don't.
>>288370179I've been meaning to read it for a while but I keep being put off by the art in the early chapters
>>288370179Say a Sawk had to fight a Throh, it'd be somewhat of a battle of opposites, a battle of "mortal enemies" you could say. On one hand a striker and on the other, a grappler.
>>288370141the issue with musashi is that he basically is a second yujiro being unleashed onto the world when they were hoping it'd be another regular fight autist for the cast
>>288371283gilbert...
>>288374365Kek, that's a good one
>>288374340He has less tact than Yujiro since he's a weak mortal man who gained strenght whereas Yujiro has always been "The Strongest Creature On Earth".So to Mushashi fights with perceived danger are to the death and he will try to reach the conclusion in the least amount of steps necessary. Yujiro will never consider his life to be in danger.In words "you people" might be able to comprehend. Mushashi is just "weak" enough to "win".According to Motobe who is shown to understand Mushashi the best out of the entire cast, he was just about to MURDER Ogre and would have had he not protected him.
>>288373066Pretty sure it's literally sleepwalking. It's why he rarely sleeps
>>288370856is that Shin Megami Tensei?how are you feeling it, “me”?
>>288374513>he was just about to MURDER Ogre and would have had he not protected him.As if. Yujiro was dominating him. He'd have just tanked the sword. Motobe with a mere vest could take it, so why not Yujiro who is stronger than any vest?
>>288375320SHHYYYEEEAAAAA
>>288373066It's sleepwalking, basically PTSD from being nearly killed in his sleep in childhood
>>288371114His fans aren’t here, they’re on comikey.
>>288368857Itagaki is not praised for his martial arts depictions even by his most diehard fans.
I thought about the latest chapter and I think I "got" itshen meant what he said when he used "his younger body is holding his mind back" and not "his mind is holding his body back"sandro most likely wanted shen to say>you're young and spoiled brat compared to edward, like what julius mocked you with>you've never known what it means to get your shit kicked in>your body is still inexperienced to all the pain and curbstomping>your mind will never know what it means to be MAD when you lost
>>288365046There has been a good flow of dailies. The multi year long one piece daily, the Naruto daily, the kenichi dailySome good dailies
>>288369442Asura has concluded, yes. Nobody is saying otherwise.The main story is still going on in Omega. Omega is supposed to have a plot. I understand the confusion, though.
>>288369442>the main story concluded in AsuraKengan Omega is a continuation of the Worm plot Asura set up. We shitpost about it now, but "Evil is on the move" genuinely did used to mean something back in the day.Implying that Omega doesn't deserve to exist is a bit much. The reason the present state of the manga hurts so much is precisely because there was so much being built up in the first 50 chapters.
"I" can't free "myself" from "his" "spider web"
>>288365689Hmm I bet he's a stooge of that DASTARDLY LUOHAN, truly his terrifying EVIL knows no bounds, the mere THOUGHT of him makes my blood BOIL
>>288366927>hastily ad libbing rambling, padded out and incoherent scriptsI just assumed his ChatGPT subscription had expired
>>288368964Props to itagaki for having a style, pity it's shit
>>288378883I disagree, if he really was with that bastard Luohan he would've actually read the manga and post meaningful discussions. Tch, that aberrant bastard's evil knows no bounds.
>>288378812What trainer game is this my man?
The forest arc has been going for like 30 chapters now and pretty much nothing happened.
>>288379127NTA but W.I.T.C.H Hunter
>>288379138>and pretty much nothing happened.That's by design.If this arc is indeed to be Omega's last, then Sandro has every single incentive to keep it dragged out for as long as possible.
>>288379751It can't be the last, Luohan's not even there.
>>288369966Yeah, still crazy that a single anon (not very anonymous actually) can fuck with these threads so much and be recognized so easily. Seems like he's the spoilers guy as well.
>>288379138Let our protagonists cook
>>288378812>Ahhh I can't help but see sandro everywhere!!!>always the most embarrassing cumbrained games you could imagineIs this part of the joke?
>>288379966>every post I don't like must be one evil anonYou're a special kind of retard.
>>288380156>seething this hard over a jokeYou doing okay bud?
>>288380188Yeah, that's (You), three for three.Not every anon is one retard. But you can get see when one retard spergs out repeatedly with the same mongoloid complaints at the same time. Next time try to not be so autistic that you get singled out in a sea of anons.
>>288380188Some evils are much easier to distinguish than others, I'm afraid Only autists pretend the anonymous veil is impenetrable
>>288365689He "reads" the "literary intent" of the author by studying the "pre-reaction" of posters, without even opening a single page... Amazing. What kind of monster is he? He is on par with Kuroki...
>>288380068So hilarious that Agito just left them in the fucking dust
>>288380210I'm literally just asking if the pattern is a part of the joke I'm only noticing now. Why do you read everything as passive-aggressive attacks? Though thinking about it I guess VNs are the most suited for these kinds of posts since the probability of reading a "sandroism" in something like EU4 or FIFA98 is 0%.
>>288380302>>288380224I literally never posted a single spoiler you idiots. You also accused me of being pastebin which was wrong. Maybe realize that you aren't the great detective you think you are.I'll give you a hint: pay attention to the posting hours. You and me tend to post around 6:00 to 9:00 UTC, after most of the americans have gone to sleep.
>>288380389Assuming you're being truthful that's only marginally better and you're still a considerable autist, but I still believe odds are high you're also the spoiler asshole.
>>288380389Posting hours are schizoshit on a site filled with NEETs
Does anyone, ANYONE, give a singular fuck about who wins between fucking Toa and Arashiyama?I'm hard pressed to even come up with anything less interesting.
>>288380402>Assuming you're being truthfulI'm not asking you to believe me, I despise you and your catty bullshit. I'm just trying to nudge you towards using your brain for once if you wanna play detective: remember the posting hours, try to identify hints like grammar mistakes or weird expressions translated from another language, searching reaction pics timestamps, etc.>that's only marginally better and you're still a considerable autist, but I still believe odds are high you're also the spoiler asshole.With all the time and posts you've devoted to "me", and the space I seem to occupy in your mind, I would've hoped you've taken the time to actually think up some kind of psy profile and motives. Try to figure which of those personas you're conflating compliment or contradict, which can be one poster and which can't. Put some effort at least. And like I said before, your insistence on "autism" reads a lot like projection. Gotta go now.
>>288380547>playing detective>this entire postI'll just link you your own post >>288380188Believe it or not, I'm not the only guy around who thinks your retardation somehow stands out in a sea of anonymous posters. At some point you should reflect a little and see that maybe it's actually a (You) thing.
>>288380507Stop seething about Toa
>>288380507I like Jurota, but Toa is an absolute black hole of engagement. The biggest nothing character in the series, Sandro had absolutely NOTHING in mind with him besides "Alolan Julius for a mirror match". He had no character besides the basic seeker stuff, his cultural stuff was barely touched on, his moves exist for the sake of a cliffhanger nobody believed so Ohma could Niko basedjak and Sandro cared so little about him that he fights different every time he's appeared since then.Even other Purgatory shitters who Sandro is either ambivalent about or despises got screentime outside of their one match, character moments, omakes, ect, Toa got NOTHING. He's one of the most utterly textbook jobbers in a series full of them, he has no purpose or screentime other than making others look good by beating him.Meanwhile Sandro decided to make Jurota into a literal schizo with a Meguro tulpa so he's gotten less interesting too. Maybe he'll get something later with how Meguro's grave is on the island, and Masaki is also there somewhere, but if he has a good moment this arc, it sure as fuck won't be this fight.
>>288375419>As if. Yujiro was dominating him. He'd have just tanked the swordThe same sword that clearly cut him? The same sword that cut into his neck and he had to stop with his arms?Yes, Yujio is pure BS, but the writer can make anyone into pure BS if he wants.
>>288379966You're definitely conflating some of "us", I think. >"Sandrobitch" poster>Nofights/unitiated accuser(often accompanied by a Baki reaction image)>will get really mad over Kengan/Baki or Sandro/Itagaki comparisons>Fanservice/SoL/omake haterAll the same person.

He is simply too deeply autistic to pretend to be someone else, or for him to be the alter ego of another anon, the amount of time he spent writing stuff and endlessly posting about other series' characters beating up Kengan ones. Lover of Garodan and Tanba.>spoilerfagThe "aberrant one". May be the barbecue poster, but other than that, his posts simply aren't distinct enough to directly "connect" to another persona.
>>288380717Don't think he's pastebin guy (whoever that is) but wouldn't be surprised about him being the spoilerfag considering he's so incredibly anal about Sandro and """slurpers""". That's the only speculation I'm making here, but my initial point doesn't really need it I guess
>>288373639Usogui art is weird, it gets way better over time but the anatomy is often still quite questionable. I don't mind it, what's more off-putting for me is that there's no good translation available. Team Duwang is readable but you can tell it's not entirely accurate. None of the other translations cover the entire manga afaik. I once found an actually decent one on some random site but then I couldn't find it again.
>>288380749It's possible that anyone is anyone desu, but Sandrobitch anon was active in the dailies too as that distinct poster and didn't seem to have a problem with it happening/discussed spoilerfag alongside his usual posting in the same posts and stuff. Anything can be samefagging/RP and there are anons schizo enough to do so, I just don't think the "connection" is there without some leaps. Maybe if it was an anon trying to ruin a SiR storytime or something instead.
>>288380749Considering the nature of the accusations, I'm not sure if it's possible for him to even prove his innocence in that regard. The whole discussion is honestly a bit uncomfortable.Either way, he posts nothing like the anon spamming spoilers. There was another person doing an Omega storytime in concurrence with the Asura dailies. If there's any suspect, I'd say it's that one, but who knows.
>>288380966It's impossible, I agree. it's also a bit off topic so I don't really want to drag it out. It's not like I get pleasure to shit on some rando either, I just think the Sandrobitch posting has gotten a bit out of hand. Once or twice it's fine but holy hell it happens often and it's always at 100% power, no room for nuance or whatever. Honestly I might have been to harsh on the guy, I just think he should temper the passionate criticism outbursts a little.
>>288381010I'm more irritated that Kengan Omega has more fun shit happening in its threads than Asura ever did. Agreed, however.
What miraculous circumstances caused Keng/a/n to be so lively while Murata's OPM floundered?Is it really just because it's an adaptation? Does Murata need to do more redraws to excite people?
>>288381010>>288381029I'll actually apologize for throwing the autist word here it's a bit uncalled for. Boards are reclining and I think that kind of conflict isn't all that constructive. Sorry Sandrobitch anon.
>>288365689i now realize why sandro hates yumithis poster just steals techniques from us and cozies up while not being interested in the base of our techniques - kengan itselfhe's lower than scumalso he killed one of anons or something, which is also bad
>>288381100That deceiver anon is also a mook of the yakuza... an IMPROPER one!
>>288381101>Managed to not end up a fine red smear on the groundHe's still got it, baby!
>>288381087Hard to enjoy the manga when it keeps restarting. It's a detriment that Omega continues to be written with no forethought but that's also where the memes and edits are coming from
imagine at the end of this "tournament", koga and ryuki teamed up to attack shenthe kengan and the omegait all makes sense nowstill got instagibbed like ohma did back in "the kengan and the asura" moment of asura finale
>>288381087OPM isn't even a manga anymoreThe constant redraws and retcons removed all ability to engage with the material, nobody cares where the story is going because1/ we already have the webcomic, so we know where the story would be going if it was good2/ it's not going anywhere because it gets redrawn constantly 3/ the emphasis on the art gives the manga an artificial quality to it, incorrect moments are emphasised through incorrectly attributed effort and so the pacing feels much worseAll this turns it into a high quality picture book to flip through instead of something to engage with and discuss
Guys.... Rolon moved, he fucking moved guys I swear to fucking God he just fucking moved!

>>288381813>>288381902>manga has a negative chapter release rate>Season 3 anime adapts the pre-redrawn version of eventsYou can't make this shit up.
>>288380608>he has a good moment this arc, it sure as fuck won't be this fight.It's almost like you're expecting Jurota to win this fight.
>>288380507It throws me for a loop how even though Toa is literally Alolan Julius purpose-built for being a jobber, he somehow has more backstory than Julius does.
>>288382286>Alolan Julius Lmao how the fuck did I never give it that comparison
You ALL are still "green".
>>288378812There's a WITCH porn game?

>>288380343Shyoooooooom
>>288380966>There was another person doing an Omega storytime in concurrence with the Asura dailies.If I remember correctly that anon apologised and swore that he didn't mean to sabotage the Ashura dailies.
>>288382633Holy fuck he's literally Kuroki
>>288380068That's just Koga's head on Waka's body.
Daro was asked for advice on manga.
>>288387036
>>288387049>>288387036I was about to say that Daro isn't dumb enough to fall for a clearly backhanded question but I guess I thought too highly of him.
>>288387066I'm sure he 100% knows. Nobody hates this manga more than him.
>>288382753i appreciate anons being nice specially now that 4chan is kinda in its twilight years with way less activity, no need to throw shit at each other when chances are we probably have interacted and enjoyed each other's posts recently considering its a way smaller pool of posters nowadays
>>288387036>>288387049>the only people who unironically enjoy kengan are stinkjeets
>>288387496Such slurpers, am I right? I bet they don't even practice any martial arts.
>>288368561>dumb parody of martial artsthat's what it is, sometimes the author does try to get serious though (it never works), kinda like OPM. The manga can be hilarious though at times so still worth a read
>>288377518>Omega is supposed to have a plot. I understand the confusion, though.I've heard that theory yes
Omega has a plot, it's plotting to kill you by exposing you to multiple, simultaneous brain aneursyms.
>>288387049>gives the most dismissive one-line "advice" that doesn't actually mean anything (work on my paneling -how-?)you gotta love Daro. Most passionless man on the planet and it's easy to see what made him that way. (he's dense himself so I don't think he sees through the obvious shitposting)
Omega is a post-modernist martial arts manga.
>>288382467You’ve got it all wrong!
>>288387655>that's what it is, sometimes the author does try to get serious though (it never works)I agree.

>>288388283oh good in back. wtf was this, i woke up and see that i got permabanned from 4chan from a time when i didnt even post it, has this happened to anyone else?
>>288388322IP fuckery. I used to get banned because some retard using the same IP is spamming
Shit I wanna talk about the current situation in Omega but Nu-kengies will be spoiled about the mirror match, monkey man and edd boys flopping
>>288388400Don't worry, this is "our" thread. "They" either come "here" expecting spoilers, or "they" can wait until the next daily "gu ritual" thread.
1 month for Gaolang vs Raian with a shitty ending, 1 month for Julius vs Gilbert with NO ENDING, now probably 1 month for this fight. Meanwhile we already had 2 breaks. This is torture
>>288387993Y'know now that I think about it the Connector is basically the Emperor of man of he was Chinese drunk kung fu uncle.
>>288382138Does anyone have that gif of Lolong shrinking against Ohma?
>>288369916Because when you put Baki fans and Kengan wall climbers on a ven diagram the circles near perfectly overlap
>>288389854Nah I don't think so
>>288388825>3 weeks to 1 month for each """fight""">every single fight is a 1v1>the fights don't even necessarily lead to an elimination>less than 1/3rd of the fighters have been eliminated>that's not even taking into account the break weeks and rule recap chaptersI am not making it through this.
>>288390135You are and you will. Let's be honest, like 80% of all the people here wouldn't be reading Omega if it wasn't being posted on /a/. Going to the threads every now and again to have the weekly brain meltdown for fun isn't a big investment. If you skip a chapter or two, it doesn't matter. Nothing really happens.
>>288390135>3 chapters back introduce a new rule that enforces collecting points so you can qualify for the top 10 >the fighters refuse to collect points
>>288390251Has any winner even bothered with that rule? Julius didn't. Liu didn't. Waka didn't. Haruo didn't I thnk? Sen raping a cripple doesn't count.
It's like the characters themselves are rebelling against the dumbfuck premise>fortnite free for allnuh uh, gonna enforce 1v1s at all costs, any third party must become a spectator>gotta collect points to qualifyjust ummm...not gonna bother lol>remember to track other players using the watchsorry already put it on my leg don't care>you can always break the opponents watch to win!I think I'm just gonna try punching them in the face sorry!
>>288390251This must be the third time now they just refused to collect points. >Ohma could have just taken the worms device but he doesn't>Liu refuses to collect Nicholas's device>Julius refuses to collect Gilbert's device despite winningAnd what of the medal? How is that going to come into the mix? Needing the most eliminations kind of renders it fucking useless now if they've removed one of the ways to play doesn't it?
>>288390399I wouldn't be surprised if Sandro already forgot the medal lmao
>>288390399Coin is still a win condition, points are just for entering the final zone.I think...WAITER, ANOTHER RULE RECAP PRONTO!
>>288390385>>remember to track other players using the watchThis is funny because iirc the only time it was used was for the others to know Nicolas has been eliminated.
>>288390430But in order to enter the final area you need to be in the top 10 most eliminations. The coin is rendered moot by that logic.
>>288380343If was absolutely glorious, i re-read the chapter a few times in disbelief just laughing my soul out
>>288387036>>288387049>unparalled terrorholy fuark
>>288390473Damn, you're right actually. I think there was something about the coin being left in the elimination zone in like a second rule recap but I can't remember what the thing was.That being said, we all know that the medal will conveniently make it to the final zone somehow anyway
Any time you guys try to analyze the rules you raise the probability of Sandro making another rule change chapter. Do you guys want Sayaka to cry? Do you think she deserves any of this?
>>288388825>Jurota v Toa finally ends at the end of June>The chapter ends with Jurota walking through some brush and meeting Julius, they both stumble upon the end of an offscreened Muteba v Hayami fight>the next chapter they all walk away in seperate directions
>>288365689>kengan omahalol
>>288390324Waka and Haruo did eliminate people and get points
>>288390646I wake up rooting for another rule chapter It's what gets me through the day
>>288389683There's some kind of deeper meaning to this but I can't parse it.
>>288390757I'll leave it open to interpretation.
>>288365689honestly i only checked it out because of someone spamming "Could Rolon Donaire have taken him?" every time someone punched someone in the Asper Kanojo storytime threads, which was rather often
>>288390646Crying Sayaka would be very sex.
>>288390324Raian did by accident. Sekibayashi also did.
>>288388825Don't forget Wakatsuki versus THE LEGEND. A very necessary fight that was extremely well set up far in advance and was a long time coming. Totally not just something Sandro came up with while taking a shit a few minutes before his weekly deadline.
>>288390251This manga is pure schizophrenia.
>>288390251>>288390324>>288390385>>288390399I tried. Using a meme template.
>>288391322Good meme.
>>288390646Should have written your post in first person and used this image as your accompanying reaction pic.
>>288390385>It's like the characters themselves are rebelling against the dumbfuck premiseLMAO there needs to be an edit of this that puts in something like "character vs author" in there.
>>288364848See, it's shit like that, that prevents Kengan from reaching Baki. Kengan tries to present itself overly seriously and still grounded despite all the impossible and terribly written shit in it. Baki plays it straight and has a somewhat self aware sense to it when it does its stupid shit. That's why Itagaki keeps DOING stupid shit. He most likely knows it's absurd, but it's more about the metaphorical intensity and emotions packed into the story and fights than being focused on HAVING grounded fights "within rules". The most important fight of the series is settled with hallucinating food and kitchenware for fucks sake. Like come the fuck on. There's levels to this, and Itagaki makes it all come across as sincere.

>>288391984That's more vs Author or reality since that terrible fiend is essentially battling against the laws of the universe itself
>>288391891>Man vs no godSome Kiryu panel
Reading the Storytime made me realize how many brainmelting lines are repeated over and over again even before their iconic moments "too strong, all wrong" etc. Is this a case of translation shenanigans or is Sandro that much of a retard that he keeps using these same lines all the time?
>>288391891man vs author - def L*ohanman vs no god - Feiman vs society - Alan (forma Joker)
>>288392060Top bad, so sad.Dont forget about antagonists turning kawaii and lapping up their tongues for 1 panel before dying.
>>288390178Exactly.>>288390385I see it more as characters being infected by Ohma and Shen's refusal to engage with the plot.
>>288392060>is Sandro that much of a retardOh yes, most certainly. Don't forget how schizophrenic the writing in Ashura felt between "during the fight" and "after the fight". Cosmo going to thank and befriend Akoya for what was a public torture is to this day one of the most insane scenes I've ever read or watched.
>>288392825>I know you just tried to torture me so much that I fainted but you made sure I was awake so I can feel all of that pain and I probably would've died if that continued for any longer than it did>But thank you, will you be my friend?It's really funny looking back to it.
>>288392863It is insane but I could understand it, given the nature of schizo fight manga like this. What I don't get is how Kengan is constantly making a thing of morality, yet no one seems to give a fuck when it's the Kenganvengers doing the fucked up shit. Imagine if they took Yujiro's crimes more seriously in Baki, but then didn't care about another one of their group being a serial pedophile rapist. It's just incoherent.
>>288392920>Bad deeds are bad except if a friend mine did it, then they probably have a good reason or maybe it's good actuallyI'd say pretty coherent with that in mind.
>>288392060There are some translation/localization choices that are specific HnGisms that they use for literally every instance(ie, every older character is "pops" and so on), but the brainrot lines like "got it all wrong" are just the straight translation of common Japanese phrases and stuff. It's why you have anons being mindbroken by random hentai panels and the like too.
>>288393200>My tongue is lolling out on its own!
>>288393237>Man vs. Technology>Baki's most recent chapter flashbangs my headAiiieeee
>>288393237Man vs. Reality HAS to be Shen decking Lu*han for his grave insult against Joji.
>>288392973But none of them are Akoya's friends. Same with Raian.
>>288393276i haven't laughed so hard while reading a manga in ages. Itagaki is truly unfathomable
>>288393237
>>288393438Exactly. Yet Sandro is convinced all Kenganvengers are one big happy family. Remember Okubo jumping in Agito's arms like a cheerleader after a high-school football game?>>288393948Excellent. The "dizzy.gif" is such a nice touch.
>>288393948magnificent
>>288393948Subarashi
>>288392060With the recent riffing of "nutrients" and other playground-tier insults, I started paying attention to how those have also been consistently around since at least KvP.Not quite as stupid as that one of course, but it's noticeable.

>>288401854Gaolang is a princess character just slightly below Sandro's fav princesses like Raian, Ohma and Shen so I don't mind him getting out early

>>288393948Can someone post that Okubo Devil image?
>>288402551
>>288402408Only reason Agito vs Gaolang was close is because Agito doesn' kick or grapple like he did in Asura. It was once again a striking match
>>288392825Almost all fights will end that way. Fighter will get the shit beat out of them and will still shake hands, even the ones where they suffer heavy damage or if there was bad blood between the two combatants. It’s one of the more realistic things about this manga actually. It follows the theme of other stuff in shonen where people are at deaths door against other characters. Also Cosmo is on a cocktail of painkillers and signed up for a death tournament, he knew what he was getting into and didn’t truly understand what that meant until he fought Akoya. You underestimate the fightfag spirit within Cosmo and other fictional characters.
>I "arrived" late to today's storytime because of wage slavery>get to this pageSandro must have one reviewer or classmate or work colleague named Yumi or Hikaru that he really hates, because there's no other explanation for why he does this.

>>288402840thanks!
>>288393948Impressive.
>>288403105No. Having competed myself in several disciplines you gain a measure of respect and appreciation for your opponent, but this shit is on another level of alien morality. Sandro writes fights with levels of gore and edginess that wouldn't feel out of place in stuff like Shamo, and as soon as the fights end writes like he's trying to imitate K-on. It's stupid and no amount of copium about "fightfag spirit" can compensate for that. Cosmo didn't know what he entered, because Akoya straight-up skirted the rules by preventing him from forfeiting a match he had won, just to torture him. It's just bad writing, you should be used to it by now.

>>288403245AIIEEEEEEE STOP
>>288393948Keng/a/n kino…
>>288403232>studying under a master to learn his teachings is "shamelessly incorporating">taking an online course is "being well matched"Jeez, he really didn't that one through.
>>288406766It makes sense if it was a major point of contention with how Yumi uses the techniques he """stole"""" as its objectively rather scatterbrained>Use spear>Then use sword>Then maybe KenpoThere was no clear intention or coherency with the styles he used nor have they been shown to be able to be used in conjunction. Both Carlos and Nicolas have some level of focus in them until the latter gets retconned but whatever. This is of course my own personal headcanon as Sandro was busy demonising him more. It's silly anyway since the idea of "having too many options is bad" is already treaded ground as that was Agito's problem after fighting Gaolang.
>>288406920The kind of scatterbrained that's weirdly impressive considering:a) Yumigahama has completely remade weapon techniques to function barehanded.b) He somehow mulched Jose TWICE with this kit.
>>288406956He also somehow got to fang rank doing all this.
>>288397369Kishimoto with Samurai 8
>>288407522It do makes me wonder where exactly Sandro decided to make him into a joke. His first mention is Himuro saying he's on par with Agito. Then his first appereance is he one shotting Koga, and also mentions of how he beat José and Nicolas once. Then he beats José again offscreen. After this I imagine Sandro decides to pivot into Lolong as the purgatory MVP (he is right in the middle of the purgatory team while monkey man is behind him), then his first line after that is being mocked by Carlos, then Nicolas, then Lolong, and then by the time he fights shit hits the fan
>>288407634I think daro complained about how hard hes to draw and hes ugly
>>288403232I can sort of understand it from the perspective of taking advantage of what those fighters have. Nicolas has insane reach and great reflexes so he built a custom style around that. Yumigahama is gigantic with a massive build and alarming speed. How does he leverage this? Finesse attacks with invisible weapons. He has a god tier build and is pumping all his skill into random shit he picked up that doesn't take advantage of any of it. Ohma remarks at the start of his fight that his footwork sucks and he's wasteful, that is not the mark of a guy who should be trying to play the finesse game. To put it in game terms he's got the natural stat spread to play a great warrior and chose to spec into rogue instead. Yumi would be significantly more successful if he leaned into the brute he's built as.I don't think any of this justifies how he's treated by Sandro but I at least sort of understand what's trying to be said there.
