Ryuki vs #5
Hello, ”me”. Glad ”I” made it on time.
I can't believe that devious bastard Luohan tried to spread fake news to stop our "party"
>>288771898>this Omega collector slaps your boyfriends ass while you're waiting in a queue somewhereHow do you respond?
>>288771898Mebros...
>>288771985Where is my nigga skeleton? This is just Ryuki smelling like shit
>>288771985>prompt: kengan_ashura_r2, masterpiece, aura
>>288771985Looks like Rei with different hairstyle desu
>>288772051His eyeball is going limp?
>>288772051>Me looking for the chapter on Comikey
>>288771985Mob?
>>288772132Fuck you Koga. If you don't bother helping your "friend" then just join the fight
>>288772146Mob. Whatever you want.
>>288772132he's doing the broly pose
>>2887721662v1 is too hard to prompt
>>288772096The watch TANKED that
>>288771985>lol that silly connector isn't it funny how we (totally not the author talking) had the only competent and cool-looking worm died for no reasonNo.
>>288772096>>288772132What are they even trying to do with Silva here? If he gets back up and joins them he’s just going to lose to next person that shows up, and if he gives up then he looks extra pathetic but Koga gets a watch point.
>>288772165Isn't turning Rakshasa palm into a whole haymaker defeating the purpose?
>>288772255All he needs to do is JUST FUCKING WIN
>>288771898That was boring
>>288772015The lamp, it is shaded.
>>288772292Me reading the past 200 chapters...
>>288772132>Hey, Leo, you can't fight anymore.>So, since we're pals, will you let me break your wrist watch?>They're threatening us now, that if we don't score any points, they'll disqualify us regardless of how close we get to "the goal."WRIST WATCH, ANYONE? I'm talking to you, Sandy.
>>288772318Nigga thought he's literally Kuroki
>>288771985>Naidan>EddieFUCK YOU SANDRO I KNOWN YOU ARE HERE RIGHT NOW
If they could always do a brain transplant why bother with Huisheng
>>288772338I'm expecting Leo to jump Koga with a whole >Thanks for reinvigorating my spirit!... However, remember that this is a "free for all"And then he gets dumpstered again.
>>288772353Now he's literally Kuroki
Just switch the pov back to muteba already, he is the only person who is doing something that is somewhat interesting.
>>288772205>Asking questiong makes you look ignorant.ORLY>>288772287>*Asking questionsYARLY
>>288772383His fingers got infected with hexagonis
>>288772410ROFL!
>>288772362I thought the brain transplant was only recently made by kazzys son and only shen knew about it and was to lazy to tell anyone else.
Fin
Kengan Omega is a metaphysical war between the author and the reader.
How many more numbered jobbers do we have left? We need "Chopstick Johnny" to bring back the hype.
>>288772389Kuroki had to "time" his attacks for 30 years of training.Ryuuki had to "think about it" for a couple hours to achieve the same effect.Such Skill. Much Power. Wow.
>>288772450The "Worm" is so fearsome...
>>288772417>>288772450Number 5... you were pretty...strong
>>288772353>So fast he could break the fingers before the enemy noticing>not go for the watch>break his neck is coolerThat's my hero Kenganvenger!
>>288772450Uhh where is Ryuki's watch, wasn't it on his left arm
>>288772461Imagne if Sandro used more than 10% of his brain to write Omega
>>288772448Naidan...
>>288772474Have Tom and Jerry shown up yet? im going to be honest I forget about what these worm jobbers are doing the second the chapter ends.
>>288772500You think a worm would stop fighting because his watch is broken?
We're not even a quarter through this arc and half of the Worm's goons are already out.
>>288772450Over and out, "me"
>>288772450He was the weakest among "me" anyway
>>288772450Isn't he going to be disqualified?
>>288772426
Okay, then explain why Fei die like goddamn retardSANDRO I KNOW YOU ARE IN HERE RIGHT NOWSPEAK UP!!!
>>288772512>>288772533>>288772533Aaw, poor wyuuki lost his watch.
Reminder the Worm is actual worm or virus currently carried by Shen and that Rihito will use Kuroki techniques to wound him deep enough and inject Hanafusa's serum, making Shen revert to his wholesome self for good
>>288772255Koga wants to cheer him up so that he can then beat him back down again. You see, just kicking somebody who's down on their luck is something simpletons do. An evil genius like Koga knows how to take it one step further by giving them false hope first before kicking them
>>288771985It should have been “Me” who died, as in him
>>288772545The majority of this arc will be kenganvengers fighting eachother in one giant gu ritual until one of them scales the wall enough to reach shen level
>>288772383Nitoku did that against the fake Ghost guy
>>288772576Tiger Niko is a troll
>>288772450Isn't this a "no kill" free-for-all brawl?Does this disqualify Ryuuki?Will a referee remove him from the event?This is stupid?
Don't count me out yet, the watch is still intact
>>288772545I guess we’re reestablishing that Shen and Yan and maybe Fu carry the Worms hard.
>>288772672it was a non lethal neck snap
>>288772353Comedy manga
Hassad soon.
>>288772672he seems ok to me dudedont tell me you've never gotten a little bop on the nose like that
>>288771898>Over and out, "me".
>>288772255Maybe this Silva is a Worm and he’s waiting to sneak attack Koga when his guard is fully down.
>>288772672Thankfully, Long Clan Secret Technique "Archmurder Devil of Death" leaves the opponent at 1hp, making it ideal for Ryuki to spam Pokeballs.
Okay no full stop, Sandro is in these threads. After 5 fucking years we finally get an answer to the Naidan subplot just after the story dump and a bunch of anons questioned what was that? He also changed the goody boy scout sneaker socks combo.This is not the first time it happens, the omake dancing when we were peak party posting? Its too many coincidences man.
We still had>1 (already hexed by Ohma)>2>6 (jobbed to Ohma but watch intact)>7>8>Dodo>Chopstick Johnny
Guys... "I" actually liked this chapter...
>>288772533If Ryuki kills, he's going to be disqualified either way.
>>288771985What? No you tried to kidnap the guy one week before.>>288772132
>>288771898>I guess we truly were.... Kengan's Omega.
>>288772132>>288772165I am glad Daro changed the footwear
You're clearly in no state to fight Leonardo, how about you just give me your watch?
>>288772672Walkie-Talkie Worm still has his watch intact, so it's OK.Ryuuki doesn't have his watch on his left wrist anymore, so he's DQ'd. >>288772450 I'm sure they'll politely ask him to leave, and if he says "no," they'll forcibly remove him immediately with their powerful referees and scary threats.
>>288772844He really continues to be the villain
It's been 350 chapters and he hasn't even shown up yetIs this shit just false advertising?
>>288772704Thank you Batman
>>288771898So what the fuck was that about the chapter coming out on June 19?
>>288772165The report should know that the connector told Ryuki to learn about the Long Clan techniques thoughbeit
>>288772521Are you referring to Xia Ji? He's a little busy dumpster diving on the streets, living his best hobo life.
>>288772417Jesus this page looks like shit
>>288772928>Long Clan techniquesHe's got Short Span attentions.
>we got trolledDO WE HAVE A COMIKEY EMPLOYEE HERE TRYING TO MESS WITH US?
>>288772609he needs to show off his "weak side" so that silva will get cocky and try to ambush him from behindthis gives koga the moral right to beat silva to a pulp as revenge for that chokehold a hundred chapters ago
>>288772928He didn't even tell them about switching from Huisheng to brain transplant before Naidan fucking died
>>288772450I can't believe #5 is fucking dead.But this is a win under Purgatory rules.
>>288772015Piss off Sandro. At least own up to your nonsensical improvised writing by staying completely quiet instead of doing this lampshading shit. Nothing you write will salvage any dignity you have as a writer.
>>288772450>heh heh heh, im so cocky which means i'm strong>heh heh heh i jobbed effortlessly, so this means ryuki is "strong"Wow... he's insanely STRONG...!
>>288772450
I don't understand anymore, what is the point of this when every bad guys job one after another for weeks now. There is no hype, no subversion, nothing.
>>288771943ENTER
>>288772779Well, if Sandro is in this thread, I want a full omake of Mana belly dancing and getting sweaty
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT JUNE 19TH ABOUT FUCKING RETARDS MADE MISS THE TIMINGAnyways here's the chart. Im not eliminating #5 until at least next chapter so we can see if Ryuki removes his tracker.
>>288772919Comikey has messed up like that before
Is it just me or is the art getting "better"?
>>288773000>point?
>>288773009Fair, I doubt he’ll get back up with his new facejob
>>288773009Comikey STILL says "This week's chapter will be released on Friday, 19th of June.". Not our fault
>>288773021Better than the usual but last week's was better. Now I wonder which pages got vetoed and made worse.
Seriously, I'm losing my mind here. Why did Comikey's site say that the chapter is coming out on June 19?
"someone" from comikey is trying to "destroy" keng/a/ from "within"
>>288773069Clearly this is a fake chapter that Sandro wrote as a joke. The real one comes out on the 19th and it's going to be much better.
>>288773069
>>288773069>frenchman.pngI always thought it was going to be released today, like usual. Didn't even know Comikey said Friday. Is knowing less means I know more? Sandro, what's your input on this?
>>288773069Must be that bastard
>>288772258Wait, is it THAT stance?
>>288773135NONONONO SHUT THE FUCK UP
>>288772417Extremely plump culo shot. Bravo.
>>288773069Must be that son of a bitch bloody basterd bich Luohan!!! t. actual murderer and terrorist
>>288773153>ConsumeWhat the fuck was that even
>>288773153Looks like Comikey got the timing wrong
>>288773201Jurota gained xp from beating Toa and "scale" higher
>>288773201Consume is a new Kengan mechanic. By comparing the current tournament to a Gu Ritual, it triggers a special powerleveling mode where the participants rapidly scale the wall and even leech techniques from each other, like Gaolang with Formless.
>>288771425They are here to be defeated so "important" characters can be on the move, sorry>>288771480Here, you can have this
>>288772318>STRIKEAre we on the level of needing to label basic attacks now? Maybe Sandro's got dementia and he has to label the utensils in his household too lest he forget
I like how the most memorable part of this week's chapter doesn't even have to do with the chapter at all. It's that someone at Comikey trolled the community into thinking that the chapter isn't coming out until Friday. I don't think this has ever happened before.
>>288771898>his watch went from his right hand in the previous chapter to his left hand in this chapter
>>288772521>Have Tom and Jerry shown up yet?I'm pretty sure they're both dead. One of them was responsible for the iconic "Too bad, I'm dying now" panel, remember?
>>288773175>actual murderer and terroristHave you received any invites to shady tournaments yet? Don't worry we're all anonymous here so you can tell the truth
>>288773295>Are we on the level of needing to label basic attacks now?Hey now, that's the entirety of the Niko's style design ethos.
>>288773069Comikey got it all wrongBut ”we” got the timing right
>>288773171He's called Omega for a reason
>>288772461>Kengan Omega is a metaphysical war between the author and the reader.Yes
>>288773323His flexible body lets him do that and will allow him to tank the snapped neck next week
>>288773069"I've" got "nothing" on "us" if "I'm" the "best" "they" got at Com"I"ckey.
>>288773323Prompt engineering is a high-skill profession. Daro just doesn't make the cut
>>288773323Just be glad Daro bothers to generate the watch at all
>>288773135The “Cupping” stance
>>288772417>two punches>but feet on the groundis this half-faggotsbane?
>>288773201
>>288772512i didn't bother drawing it, whatcha gonna do about it
>>288773334Tch... who tipped this guy off... it must have been that horrible Luohan... too bad nobody knows my real plan...
>>288773381Kek, very nice hadn’t seen this
>ROLEX SECRET TECHNIQUE: MITIGATE WATCH>G-SHOCK STYLE: IMPACT ABSORPTIONThese guys are really talented.
>>288773480Omega exists without anyone's consent.Also, drafts when?
>>288773480I love how all of "us" are slowly going insane. The fact that "I" still have my sanity shows that I'm the only vessel "we" need for the threads...
>>288773480He forgot the most inportant partreaders don't want to read
>>288772417What a shitty moveIt looks like something straight out of a 90s manga
>>288773069It's an anti-foresight technique. You're far too green.
I like how the durability of the watch just shifts. One second it can’t take the force of a light punch and then another someone is using it to block full power kicks.
>>288773532I think it can work, forcing the head in two different directions to snap it sounds cool. Problem here is that Ryuki's really sticking his ass out for his boyfriend and a man experiencing PTSD to see.>>288773574Gaolang was given a shitty one as a joke.
>>288772672He went "limp" in his neck. Didn't you see how he moved his eyeball earlier, he had a medical procedure done on him that softened his spine and allows him to move it nearly 360 degrees like an owl.
>>288772132>>288772096So the only reason Silva is here is to justify Sandro not having to have to write a 2v1 fight?
>>288773574It's all about the angle much like how a random mook with a baseball bat could beat the world's strongest fighter with some luck
>>288771898Did I hallucinate it or did Gilbert fight Julius once?
>>288771985>Naidan literally died for nothing
>>288773069By using their "pre-initiative" they managed to make you get the wrong "timing" so you can't go "limp" to avoid the damage from the chapter
>>288773574It's all about the "timing" of the watch
>>288773605You're going crazy, man, why would they fight
>>288773605Yes they fought a couple chapters back. #5 is not Gilbert though
>>288773598Stop noticing.>>288773605Nah, why would he fight Julius. It doesn't make sense. He already offscreened two "decent' characters, so I'm sure Gilbert would have an impressive showing.
>>288773615I mean like fuck man, there's probably simpler ways to go about this shitIt fucking disgusts me how ineficient the worm are with their human resources, I hate it beyond words
>>288773574Watches in the Kengan universe are as durable or fragile as the plot demands it to be.
>>288773605Nah, one of them would have been eliminated if that happened.
>>288773505>drafts when?Drafts now>>288771898
>>288773574You see, every object vibrates to a frequency that shifts between "hard" and "soft" if you time your attack just right when it's "sotft" anything will break.
>>288773677>the watch isn't even in the draftAlso why does he have glasses? Was it in last week draft too?
>>288771943
>>288772096STOP SITTING ON YOUR FAT ASS AND LETTING YOUR BOYFRIEND DO ALL THE WORK KOGA
You ever think about how Kengan has been going since 2012 and Sandwich still doesn’t understand that when you make every single villain a jobber it makes it hard to be impressed by power ups?
>>288773669Oh right, they're both still in.>>288773685Yes, the "gaps" in "hardness".
>>288773677Fucking hell, he's literally me but I'll never wear round glasses.
>>288773677Wait why are the glasses still here, did Daro prepare 2 weeks worth of drafts last time?
>>288771985>>288773694>Also why does he have glasses?I don't know>Was it in last week draft too?Yes, so maybe this fight was already finished and ready to go a week ago.
>>288772015
>>288772051
>>288773735Well remember, Fei’s death was shown 5 weeks before it happened. Some of this is actually planned over while.
>Sandro&Daro actually work on whole batch of chapters at a time Can't even use the no planning excuse
>>288773759For real though, why remove the glasses? Because it makes him look uncool? We already had a shaved gorilla in the Worm.
>>288772096
>>288772132
>>288771898I find it hilarious that the first fucking image on this page is a zoom on this fucker's face. Like it were a way for Sandro and Daro to marvel themselves in having achieved to find and make such an ugly fucking mug for a human being.
>>288772096>>288773789Had to check, having him go full Lolong just looks bad here so I guess Sandro did something right?
>>288773735It's pretty standard for artists to have drafts for several chapters up in advance, some CSM chapters were also leaked like this.The first Sandro note is "Change the character design" so this whole set was done when they decided to take care of #5
>>288772165
>>288773652>Hmmmm, isn't it stupid when villains kill their subordinates for failing their missions? >Ah I know, I'll subvert it the subordinates kill themselves! Isn't that kind of dedication terrifying? I can just imagine the idiotic events that led to this retarded decision
>>288772205
>>288773799Who the fuck is this, that's not Ryuki
>>288773856Wait, AI genned?
>>288772258
so in the end why did jobber-kun talk to himself?
>>288773877Probably
>>288772287
>>288773787Maybe for this page >>288773771They maybe thought it would be weird that he had really good eyesight in one eye but also needs glasses.
>>288773887Fanservice for the most loyal kengan community
>>288772318
>>288772353
>>288772051For a single panel, this random worm grunt randomly unlocked the almighty, saw all possible futures and chose to let Ryuki kill him
>>288772383
>>288773877grok clan style
>>288773958He wanted out of the manga
>>288773698>2012>almost 14 fucking years of Kengan.>more than half of it has been Omegafuck
>>288773887To fill the pages
>>288772417
>>288771985Naidan mentioned...
>>288772450He was 'too strong' to win
usecase for 3 out of 4 direct subordinates looking like retarded apes and jobbing accordingly?
Now Daro's little drawings, that I usually like more than the chapters
>>288773887He was lonely in the first all by himself
>>288773856AI generating the story board is a new fucking lowEven by Omega standards
>>288774027You WILL apologize when Chopstick Johnny lasts more than 2 chapters.
>>288774032?!
>>288774032Heh, cute derpy fuck.
>>288774012Why did Sandro add the teeth coming out.
>>288773983So which arm is getting the rotation, or is neither? Man what bad move.
>>288773799>middle panelSandro shit direction strikes again. Come on, that shot was decent, why switch it to "from behind a tree or something"?
>>288774058OHNONONONO
>>288771985I like how this is the 3rd time that Sandro's wrapped up a long standing plot question with a single panel that doesn't hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny. He did this exact same thing with the intro Omega fight being written off as Wu Hei vs Connector, and the cyberbrain
>>288772258>worm, y u no give up? stance
>>288774053I'm sure this has happened before.>>288774081Neither, it's a Long Clan move though Ryuki did make it look like he was going to use Rakshasha soooooo
>>288773887We NEED pointless commentary in fightsLike constant witty sarcasm and bad jokes ala Josh Whedon in a Marvel movie
>>288774053Nothing new actually
>>288771985But this is completely dumb. We didn't have any proper clues if he was being tailed by the Worm, if anything it was the complete opposite since he kept killing them. If they did find that out, they'd know it was because of Koga and the easiest way to snap him out of it was just to kill him, should be very easy to do so and wouldn't need the death of one of their high operatives.I guess we could've guessed but holy fuck does this not make sense.
>>288774058Okubo got another
>>288771898This whole thing feels like an anime filler arc. Right down to the random Fortnite island thing just to change things up
>>288772417ahahaha holy shit this looks so bad
Greetings, my fellow Keng/a/n posters! Just passing by to make you know that the Real Champion Tournament arc is now 2 years old! Hope you have fun with that information, and see you soon!
>>288774255>Thinking this royale will end in 2 years…
>>288772051FUARK. That's an Uchiha Madara level technique.>>288772318Me stuffing random Drive Rushes in SF6
>They're invading other mangas nowNo...
>>288772417I finally understand what this reminds me of
>>288774058Daro drew that? That cannot be real ...
>>288772512He doesn't need a watchHis "timing" is right
>>288773009Sawada, Chiba, Ren, Nam Nhat, Jose, most of the remaining worms, Hong, Taiju and Justin can all lose offscreen and then this becomes a 32man KAT2 on the next rule change.
>>288771985It is too fucking late to try and hype this jobber up. Ryuki's entire story has been losing over and over again.Also, why the fuck didn't the Worm abduct Ryuki right then and there?
>>2887725125 managed to snatch it at the last moment. Unfortunately that means Ryuki is out. It's all up to you now, Koga...
>>288773787That other Worm guy that beat up Seki has glasses and they might look too similar them.
>>288772512The watch went limp.
>>288772051Motherfucker went limp in his optical nerve.
>>288773677The original #5 looked like a nice chill guy you'd find in some office while the finalized design combined with the comment about omega makes him look a bit perverted
>>288774058>It's fucking Daro hereguest of honor for the "barbecue"
>>288774712we could've used a glasses bad guy character to make up for interpretation-man
>>288773381Man vs author should be that Saw Paing vs Cosmo SUBVERT SUBVERT SUBVERT edit
>>288772015Sandro moment
>>288773009>At this rate we're running out of worms before they meet a single bodyguardWhat's the point of them being there?
>>288774957For easy points and for our heroes to aura farm over them, duh.
>>288771985>>288772015>See reader? I totally didn't fumble this plotline and kill Naidan for nothing. Shen in universe just fucked up as per usual.Fucking Sandwich.
>>288774120Snyder lost.
>>288773009My boy #4 would've won on the street
>>288772928Shen forgot (raughs)
>>288773295If he were a Kure it would be called God Demolishing Fist
>>288771898what is that top panel hahahaha
>>288772672Don't worry, if Hanafusa could save Mokichi this guy is fine
>>288773631>instead of gaslighting, this anon decided to tell the truthLuohan, you BASTARD!
>>288771898What was #5 plan if Ryuki and Koga jumped his ass?He didn't ambush or seperate them.
>>288771898>that's a white tattooDoes this mean current Ryuki neg diffs Naidan?
>>288772051Goofy but also cool
>>288772258me when I see 6 7
>>288773860Draft-Ryuki looks like a tough OhmaDraft-Himuro looks like Ryuki
>>288772410He's saying asking questions you already know the answer to makes you look dumb. So it's fine for him to ask a question since he doenst kNOW THE ANSWER FUCK YOU STOP MAKING FUB ONF NUMBER 5
>>288773428stupid ass vault boy outfit
>>288774094Because he doesn't give a shit. He's basically saying "Here, you happy? There's your resolution. Now shut the fuck up, fuck off and buy more Comikey keys".
>>288775167And people wonder why I hate Sandro on a personal level. He didn't have to do this. Yet he cares more about saving face than anything else.
>>288774058So Daro does lurk here.
>>288776030"yes"
>>288772051My eye sometimes does that too while reading this manga. I think it might be brain damage.
>>288772051I actually got my hopes up when I saw this that he might be more than a one chapter jobber.It's funny how Leo was pissing and shitting and farting beneath a tree because this guy was so unfathomable and then protagonist #3 comes in and destroys him without breaking a sweat.
>>288776053Brain damage? Let's enjoy this manga.
>>288774772I mean, it had to be. He is the one who is fluent in English, and considering he lived in America for 14 years I wouldn't be surprised if he learned about 4chan, the "Inside".So yeah, be nice to OUR artist!I wonder if he shits on Sandro anonymously...
>>288776030I'll leave that open to interpretation.
Luohan please come back this manga is so shit without you.
>>288771898I'm sure he won't job pathetically
>>288776101Leo is obviously talking about ShenBut I do expect Ryuki to say "Man that unfathomable worm jobber is nothing to the Connector...? It seems we need to be more careful" before wooshing into the bushes
>>288776101>It's funny how Leo was pissing and shitting and farting beneath a tree because this guy was so unfathomableIt was about Shen, which carries many implications>Shen actually fought someone, causing him to piss his pants that much>Or he fought Shen and got absolutely trounced with 0 damage and is still in the match
>>288776129he's most likely only going to crash the "party" when they reach the final fortnite area or after the tournament ends
>>288776129Everything about that fight was amazing, I really hope Sandro doesn't just ruin Luohan when he returns
>more and more characters smugly looking at the camera and telling readers they're dumb for engaging with the storyI KNOW YOU'RE HERE YOU SON OF A BITCHCOME AND FACE ME LIKE A MAN
>>288772015someone needs to do a "pebble thrown" count for this arc because its been happening literally every fight lately
>>288772132>I don't know how to be supportive.Ah, so that's why Koga left Ryuki in the hallway all traumatized during KvP.
Has anything plot relevant happened in the past year or whenever this island shit started?Gilbert got mind broken by big German cock but that's all I remember.Jean/Nicolas was never relevant to begin with, even factoring in Nicolas being part of the worm.Luohan and Niko learning kung fu through oculus rifts was the last major development and that was a while ago now.
>>288775782Naidan was a named character so despite 5 being equal to him on paper no.
>>288776490Wow turns out Sandro resolved TWO mysteries of the Naidan fight in one chapter!
>>288774058DARO IF YOU'RE IN HERE SEND US A SIGNDO A SCRIBBLE FEATURING YUMI NEXT CHAPTER AND WE'LL KNOW YOU'RE ONE OF US
>>288772450Then waste mine Sandro?
>>288772417ryuki i know you want to impress koga but leo is there too so stop twerking
>>288773021looking at the drafts it seems the ai generated panels in the drafts consistently look the worst when turned into actual drawings so daro might genuinely have improved even in his not giving a shit state
>>288776579This is probably the worst thing to ask of him
>>288776030He's the party guy.
>>288776774you're rightDARO I TAKE IT BACKIF YOU'RE HERE INCLUDE A SCRIBBLE OF A SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE XIA JI NEXT CHAPTER INSTEAD
>>288776426>crazy facefoolish anon, Sandro has plenty of experience dealing with your kind I don't have that irl video of Sandro as a bodyguard knocking out some crazy dude someone post it
>>288771898What is this top panel? Why do we (the reader) have to see his zoomed in dysgenic face in the background?
>>288772450Someone edit this manga cover at the bottom please>took me 3 seconds to read this chapter
>>288776913kek
>>288773201It was this
>>288776030No I don't
>>288772450high ranking worms cant even last more than 1 chapter?
>>288775666>>288776901It does look like an edit we would do
>>288773428https://files.catbox.moe/lgkuzt.mp4
>>288777142I laughed purely because I didn’t expect it
>>288771985>SEE RYUKI? ISN'T LIFE SO MUCH EASIER WHEN YOU DON'T SPAM EARTH CROUCHING DRAGON? HOW ABOUT WE KEEP ON GOING WITH THE LONG CLAN TECHNIQUES>HELL YEAH RYUKI ATTA BOY KEEP SPAMING DRAGON MAW FIST YOU GOT THIS IN THE BAG
>>288772258>YOU MUST BE JUDGED
>>288776824>spoiler*pssst* I got you, me. Over. >>288776426
>>288777266The "memes" are "evolving"...!
>>288777494>holding a weaponNot a impressive win at all
>>288771985Can't tell if this is AI or Daro randomly locking in.
>every me got so distracted with today's false alarm and chapter that the daily thread got archived before bump limitThe Green Zone is gone, we let it go! What happened to the ones who were left behind? How could I know?!
>>288774058Daro, listen man if your really here. Just know I get what it's like getting a check. Especially in this shit economic.... but cmon man....
>>288774058It's not party glasses retards
>>288778019He's too busy exploring his indie gamedev side
>>288778174Way too much of a coincidence.
I see someone asked Daro the AI question again.
>>288778218Except those 8 assistants are also using AI.Remember the barbell with uneven number of weights? That was both AI generated and "drawn" by one of the assistants, not Daro.
>>288778243Actually kind of fucked to hear. Wonder if he's on a lookout for an author that can match his "identity" artstyle
>>288778264Oh really? That makes that now they’re all using it now too
>>288778243>I never had any emotional connection with the art style of the kengan seriesOuch. I wonder if he's only saying this now because he's embittered or what.
>>288778243Damn, I know what it feels like to do something you have no passion for...
>>288778356Feels like it a bit, he may just be bitter from AI complaints in general
>>288773381so glad alan was chosen for this panel
>>288778218>"i also assumed usage of AI would soon become a controversy where many would criticize whom ever uses AI, same as any new technology introduced to art in the past. i wanted to set an example where AI was useful"Crazy thing to say seeing how the use of AI in Kengan is to cut as many corners as possible since he openly doesn't care for the manga>>288778243Kengan might as well have always been a paycheck for him. Asura is his first day on the job and he's trying really hard to make a good first impression and Omega is when you're 3 years into it and you know you can get away with certain things depending on who's on manager duty today
>>288771985I know these pages are usually there for empty hype and lip service but I agree that current Ryuki is strong
>>288773513madness amplifies power through, just look at fei
>>288778243I wonder if hes even on good terms with sandro
>>288778243So what artstyle is "him" then? CGDCT or something?
>>288774058
>>288778562I picture their relationship like the stereotypical neet/parent relationship.They don't talk to each other and avoid being in the same room, the only form of communication they use is red text on the drafts which they pass to each other under the door.
>>288778243>>288778332I believe this.Have any of you ever seen Daro's art (outside Kengan) on full throttle? He is great, and I say that as someone who dislikes him!His "identity art style" doesn't match Kengan at all though, so it must be a weird feeling for him to steadily force a style that isn't "his"
>>288778668This is pretty normal writer/artist relationship, Buronson and Hara met only handful of times and mostly communicated through their editorIIRC the Frieren duo haven't seen each other in person at all
>>288778674I've only seen few of those yearly meme collages and they don't really convey what his personal style is.
>>288778529>first day on the job effortThat’s a good way to describe it.
>>288778732I mean, there's that boxer loli that he drew one time...
Why can't Sandro just allow Daro to draw Kengan with his own style from now on?
>>288778816If Daro had his way he wouldn't be drawing Kengan period
>>288778844bruh.
>>288778813He posted this recently
>>288778882Isn't Ketchup Ninja ultra old by now? Are you sure it's recent?
>introduce guy who could be cool, sort of unique look>he fucking jobs in like 2 moves from Ryukia shame
>>288773009I have to imagine they’ve distributed all these guys Deal or No Deal style with their power levels in briefcases and they just pull one out each week and if he’s weak he’s weak whatever So maybe the last few worms will all be incredibly strong?
I read in between the pages, so I skipped the chapter.
>>288779025At least two will be Fei level
Is Gilbert kill?
>>288778921Maybe he just reposted it, I don’t know
>>288779101His pride, his clan, his family, his friends, and his ego all are killed, yet he still remains.
>>288773779There’s a side chapter in asura where they prep like a month of chapters at once
A design like that getting taken out in a chapter? I don't believe it
>>288779152The only thing that has yet to perish is his flesh
>>288779169
>>288778243This is too bad because I think Asura’s art is really beautiful and I like the omega style when it’s drawn well with effortIt explains a lot of what we see though
Not sure how or why but I have this mental connection between Steven Segal and Sandro. Am i just going insane or is there someone else?
>>288779324I can see it.
The draft version of #5 had potential to be interesting, but the final product just screamed thug-instant-jobber, complete with the tattoo location giving the appearance of a tight gold chain. The guy was toast the minute he was introduced, it might be giving Sandro too much credit to speculate that this is why the design was changed, though.
>>288779324Meme stories where the MC is the coolest guy and beats everyone with little to no effort?
>>288779279>Free SpiritedOh, is he?
>>288778243Considering how massively Daro's rough sketches are changed with editing for the final version (and often times look worse in the final version) I fully understand Daro's disdain for Sandro and the series. Author isn't even an artist yet dares to have artistic creative control over his artist. Unlikeable prick.
>>288779307Even early I like it, but the core look it changed into in the early middle and mostly kept slime to end was really appealing.
I forgot Ryuki even killed Worms, he’s shifted to mostly normal now.
>"youre a bunch of luddies" t. daroTruthnuke
>>288780471not really a Ludd guy
>>288780471It's the Tachyon corporation for me.
>>288778536He and Koga better be strong after 3 or 4 timeskip trainings
>>288780621HOW FUCKING DARE YOU
>>288779950It's MY story you are drawing, so YOU will draw the way I want, got it? *raughs*
>>288773295Pretty sure we've had that since Asura. I swear there's a fight where a sequence has each attack accompanied by big text saying "STRIKE"
>>288780937kek
>>288774094>He did this exact same thing with the intro Omega fight being written off as Wu Hei vs ConnectorNot even, it was Shen vs a literal nameless jobber who happened to be the head of the Worm at the time.
>>288772450This is getting good, "guys". He killed "our" other "half". What should "we" do about him?
>>288771898Finally, "I" have arrived
>>288772096Who is this?
>>288772607Hmm.
>>288771898Is this the first time they explicitly mention the omega?
>>288772205>are you planning to keep on reading, or drop Omega?>you shouldn't ask questions you already know the answer to, it just makes you look stupidt-thanks Sandro
>>288772450guys I don't know if this means I should go higher on Chopstick Johnny because every other Worm mook has been incompetent and Johnny at least gets a name. My Johnnycoins are feeling pretty heavy right now
>>288773381my sides
>>288773428>me to my 8 weetbix as a 10 year old
>>288782193Terashi
>>288772954>he got the timing wrong but still fooled usComikey employee, I thought you were still green, but I had it all wrong
>>288776424>I really hope Sandro doesn't just ruin Luohan when he returnsBoy it sure would be a shame if your hopes were... subverted
>>288772461Panels like this are so incredibly insulting. Does Sandrobitch think he's smart when he uses characters to handwave criticism away here?
>>288772461>Nicolas interpretation>5 the "me"poster's "don't ask questions you know the answer to"All in one arc. Will we get another of these from Chopstick Johnny, perhaps? Sandro's disdain for the readership seems to be getting more open as we go. What is this all building up to?
>>288783149>SandrobitchYou should chill out and read some manga about cute girls doing cute things
>>288783198I foolishly have high hopes for Chopstick Johnny.
>>288783236There is a zero percent chance that Chopstick Johnny isn't Luohan, I can feel it
>>288772461On a spirtual level, the author is fighting all of us at once. Truly, he is on par with Kuroki...
>>288783295Same. I can't wait either, so that way I can feel my fighters blood boiling when I see that BASTARD'S treacherous, dastardly and well groomed face.
>>288774058The "infection" has "spread".
>>288771898Is this a good manga or not?I missed the daily threads but based on the few threads I actually did read through I genuinely cannot fucking tell if people are enjoying it ironically or not.
>>288783595It's the best comedy manga of our generation
>>288771985Why did Sandro only just decide to bring Naidan up again? It just makes me wonder why he didn't do it much earlier.
>>288783236>>288783295>>288783496PRESUMABLY, the "guests" have to be characters we know, right? Surely? Otherwise what would be the point in them not just being normal Worms(I know who is writing this okay leave me alone).So with that in mind, it feels like it has to be a miraculously recovered Luohan or something, OR.... Xia.
>>288783595Would "you" "arrive" at a "barbeque" only to ask why it was happening?
>>288777494Wait... THAT is why this gets posted? That's the hack-fraud himself?
>>288783638>Xiaalso kino, with a flashback to him putting on the VR goggles
how many are left???
>>288783710enough fighters for 2 years, at least
>>288771985I KNOW YOU ARE HERE SANDROYOU SHAMELESS BITCH
>>288783198>What is this all building up to?Some “unfathomable” readers managing to “track” SandroBITCH’s house and come to beat up him
>>288783803>At last, I can finish my masterpiece.>(You) have been the real "Kengan Omega" all along.
>>288774058OFFICAL RYUKI PARTY!?IS DARO ALSO PARTYING WITH US?
>>288776116Daro definitely came to english sites to do ego searching at least
>>288783595If we can overcome these trials, we will be stronger in the end.
>>288778184nice to see he still loves fightan stuffjust tired of Kengan
>>288777494Sandro is… “unfathomable”
>>288778243Daro and Sandro should come to the ring and duke it out
Why does Sandro doing everything he can to avoid having 1v2s or 1v3s or anything that isn't just a 1v1?
>>288772353So he has no sense of pain?
>>288772576Sorry, we need to meet with Niko Niko Nii for an explanation for that *raughs*
>>288772258Wait, no one noticed before me that Ryuki has 6 fingers in his right hand in the central panel??? I'm so ashamed of you all.
>>288784246We have been Huisheng’d to stop caring about such things
>>288784246oh shit
>>288784246Damn, it's been years since I saw AIslop with excessive fingers. I thought that the average AIslopper had already figured out a way to get past this problem that plagued early AI, but I guess Daro just doesn't care enough.
>>288774498>It just makes you ook stupidunderrated comedy.
>>288784379>Even using sketch as baseline >>288773884 , its still fuck it updesu, even i'm surprise too
>>288784246>The draft still had 5 fingers normally >>288773884I underestimated Daro. It seems like he can still "scale the wall" at using AI
>>288779950>Author isn't even an artist yet dares to have artistic creative control over his artist.This is pretty normal though.He's essentially an employee who has an image, and you, the artist, need to meet that image.Now, he consistently makes it worse, and I wouldn't fault Daro for hating that, but it's part of the job in the end.For some reason, a lot of people are under the impression that you should just take what an artist you're paying is giving you, even if you have issues with it. This ranges from commission work to actual serious companies, when in reality, back and forth should be expected.Hell, that's why drafts exist, so you don't commit into the work too early.
>>288784050AI suffers when doing group shots and he's trying to be nice to his artist
>>288784536>>288784493Looks like he drew 5 fingers in the sketch but the pinky was large and fucked up, so the AI got confused and just made it into another finger kek
The re-read's got me thinking, the whole framing of Xia as this character who everyone hates and is trying to fight against his own fate of being deemed a jobber is very similar to Luohan's deal. The biggest difference is that Xia is at least someone who we've seen be a piece of shit, while Luohan has quite literally done nothing wrong.
>>288785310Luohan implied that he’s done a lot wrong
>>288785501Yeah, he did the horrible act of... doing exactly what the Worm and Shen told him to do?
>>288783198>>288783236>>288783295No joke, I think Chopstick Johnny/Dodo might be Fei.
>>288778674>Have any of you ever seen Daro's art (outside Kengan) on full throttle?>try to look it up by going thru his twitter media tab>instead find multiple skeb commissions of someone asking for the homoerotic liu x naidan scenarios (that daro for some reason kept taking) https://x.com/daromeon/status/1707363797722341707/photo/1
>>288784246There are two possible options as to how we missed it. Either:We were still too green to be capable of understanding just how powerful Daro's credit card limit for buying DALL-E credits has become. orWe have mastered pre-initiative and already assumed that all of Omega is AI-generated anyway
>>288785744My Chopstick Johnny coins are going to the moon fellas
>>288785744Dodo does feel like a Niko student of some kind due to the name. Either the final student after all the others died, or a clone of Fei himself.
>>288771985Does this make sense? Is this a retcon? I can't scale the wall.
>>288785961It's just Sandro saying what readers already knew, that the original plan was randomly thrown out, Naidan died for nothing, and Shen is a moron. He didn't really justify anything, just had a character bring up a plot hole so it looks less like a plot hole but he didn't actually fill in the hole.
>>288785961>>288786019I simply have no idea how huisheng works, so the explanation doesn't answer anything.Given that huisheng doesn't even actually overwrite your personality given Edward compared to the others, is it even that bad?It just seems like a free powerup.
>>288784040Honest to god there's enough beef we don't know about for that to be a better fight than any we've gotten in Omega.
>>288774082Also showing Leonardo is fully conscious and anguished about his own weakness instead of him still vaguely being KO'd. If the whole theme is that all of these fighters are supposed to "scale the wall" why deny us seeing another character stewing on their own shortcomings in what might be their start to rising higher? Oh right. Because Leonardo doesn't matter and the story knows it.
https://youtu.be/M5vxJpSsM_M>Yasmine learned how to fight alongside her Kuya (older brother) from her Lolo (grandfather)>LoloLolongbros... We're so fucking back!
>Make the anatgonists stupid, ugly, incompetnet and more likeable than the protagonists>have them constnatly lose in embarassing ways>glaze the kenganvengers constantlyDaro is a stupid hack.The best and most entertaining characters are mr Pure Evil mustache and Edward Wu.
>>288786301>Daro
>>288772450>just realized that since he was talking to himself at the start of the chapter, another guy in the worm roster will be an exact copy of this wasted slot
>>288786467His weird eye shit also wasn't explained, so we'll definitely get his clone/original with the pointless info dump on how his eye works and how it's even betterer than the one we saw earlier before he gets obliterated anyways.
>>288785744I will continue to believe that they're just Luohan and Niko.
>>288786516It's the most likely explanation unless we're getting more arcs or a sequel after this.
>>288785961It's one of Sandro's post-hoc patches to justify something his mystery box spam eventually made make no sense. Naidan's suicide stopped making sense after we learned that Shen didn't plan on Huishenging him, so obviously traumatizing Ryuki wouldn't do anything for the brainjack plan.So now Sandro is trying to claim that Shen changed his mind on them, to make it an in-universe instance of something being made irrelevant, not bad writing. HOWEVER, Shen abandoned Huisheng as a plan at least four years ago now. He was leaning towards the cyberbrain mind upload plan, then changed his mind to actual brain transplanting two years ago, when the Worm cut off contact with Kenzo's company. So we're supposed to believe that Naidan wasn't told about this for YEARS and killed himself anyway for no point.
>>288785744Please, SandroFei doesn't need another humiliation ritual
>>288786135I might be misremembering, but I'm fairly sure it was briefly handwaved that the Wu Hei Huisheng is shit while Shen's is perfect
>>288774074Honestly, I hope Yan gets this kind of treatment once his time comes since he's the boss of these guys that everyone considers the scum of the earth, and doesn't just get a pass because he's Shen's BFF
>>288786573Shen himself said in a flashback during Gilbert vs. Julius that his Huisheng was also not perfect
>>288786547>So we're supposed to believe that Naidan wasn't told about this for YEARS and killed himself anyway for no point.Patch notes for a chapter in a few months.Naidan was infiltrating Purgatory for 4 years so he never got the memo.
>>288786135Even if they wanted to Huisheng Ryuki, imagine how long that would takeThe connector is supposed to be a child when it starts and by the time they finish he's reached adulthoodIf they tried to do a super concentrated dose like Luohan is doing he would probably get brain damage since even he was getting nosebleeds and that was just from the martial arts memories
>>288786547>>288786611ONE MORE WORD OUT OF YOU AND I'M GONNA GO ON ANOTHER BREAK NEXT WEEK!
>>288783638Anon you know damn well the identity of the guest characters will be determined the day their reveal chapter is written and not a day sooner.
>>288786547
>>288786573>>288786589Then why not just do imperfect Huishengs to get free power-ups?
Sandro actually did it... He managed to retroactively shit on Naidan... I can never post my pasta again!>t. Naidanbro
>>288786695Naidan died without knowing any of the shit that was to come, so he still won the moral victory.
>>288773009Gilbert is tied for most wins and still looks like the biggest bitch in the tourmament somehow
>>288786690That's basically what Luohan and Niko are doing right now
>Naidan died because Shen changed his mind and no one told him the plan was offGOOD
>>288786790>Plan's changed, we now want to capture Ryuki>But don't tell any of our operatives at the tournament where he currently is at>Trust me, it'll be funny I hate Shen and Yan so goddamn much
>>288786135The themes seem to be insisting Huisheng and all derivatives actually suck assIf it’s useful then the Wu’s should actually be superior to the Kure’s but Raian proves that wrongOhma isnt huishenged yet he’s starting to approach the ConnectorI think it’s their hamfisted way to address inherited power vs earned power like how JJK uses the zenin clan
Odds reminder#1 is the only numbered worm that isn't bottom of the barrel, and is higher than Fu Zhan for some reason
>>288786835More CEOs betting on 1 just because he had the lowest number and they assumed it worked like the Espada is hilarious desu.
>>288786835I still cannot comprehend what Gilbert is doing there near the very bottom of the list.
>>288785744How mad would you be if Fei came back and died AGAIN
>>288786859Those are betting odds, presumably the average Kengan/Purgatory viewer isn't familiar with the Wu clan
>>288786835>kokuro had the lowest odds of anyone, including literal nameless numbered worm fodder the association had zero knowledge of, AND the fucking shoot wrestler he jobbed alongside with, who was a fucking C LISTER. Why does Sandro hate him so much?
>>288786859>>288786868Considering all they saw was Alan get split by Raian I can understand why he's at the bottom now
>>288786835>Koga above RetsudoOH NO NO NO HE'S GONNA FUCK SAYAKA
>>288786835>Okubo above Toa
>>288786835This list always confuses me because it’s some weird mix of in-universe knowledge and meta knowledge.Why wouldn’t the guy who won the KAT not be at the top? The public doesn’t know that Agito and Kaolan have gotten stronger, and Agito has had more losses since then. And Raian literally can’t stop killing people, who would bet on the guy who’s gonna get disqualified?It just doesn’t seem to match their public records nor what the KA business types would actually think about the fighters.
>>288786695>the only worm operative with any self respect left>writing shits on his sacrifice because nothing makes sense anymore
Did Sandro genuinely forget that Maungamanawa exists?
>>288785744>Chopstick JohnnyFei clone>DodoNaidan clone
>>288786835#1 has major mystery nigga energy. Blindfolded characters are usually badasses. Probably the only numbered worm that isn't going to be dogshit.
>>288786935He looks like 9S after twink death
>>288786935This fag reeks of a 1 chapter jobber
>>288786935>Probably the only numbered worm that isn't going to be dogshit
>>288786935He's eating shit a chapter after his fight begins
>>288786835MA BOY CHOPSTICK JOHNNY AHEAD OF GILBERT 'GREEN WARRIOR NUTRIENTS LACKING' WU, CAN I GET A HELL YEAH
>>288786935Basically looks like Cowardly Banchoy from Kongou Banchou
>>288773009How would keng/a/n's picks have fared in the tournament?
>>288786935Ohma is going to sleep this guy in one punch while monologing about how strong he was
>>288784213I assume none of them should
>>288778218>>288778243I have been in the situation Daro is but unlike him I was given a safety rope. I remember saying pretty much the same thing when I left. It must be grim to have to do it to eat.
>>288782790Third time at least
>>288786835I should reread the start of this arc to see all these purgatory B-listers get annihilated right off the bat again.
>>288787100Beartato with Reginald's katana solos
>>288786516>>288783295It's definitely not Luohan and Niko, judging by the worms' dialogue so far. They're being told to not fight the Kengan fighters outside of self-defense, so it seems like Yan only brought them along to prevent interference from third parties (Luohan)
>>288787627
>>288787627Nah. Clearly there's room in Sandro's mind for it.They could've taken out two other hood fuckers, we already know they function on Kinnikuman rules, fucking anything could be under them.Alternatively, Shen just allowed them in because (insert sandwichism here)You can and will be subverted.
>>288787640>that piece of shitSo, uhhh, what exactly has Luohan done wrong again? What are his crimes and list of evil deeds?
>>288787664I want to argue with you but I know you're right about Sandro and they could have been brought in or replaced the guys actually meant to join even if it makes no sense that Yan let them/nobody noticed
>>288787679He gave Mukaku directions to free the clones before they could have their brains scraped out
>>288787679Slightly outdated, but here.
>>288773009Man, there's a ton of fighters we haven't seen yetEven if you ignore the ones that are obviously going to be taken out in a single panel or two pages I think we still don't know what Kuroki, Cosmo and Lolong are up to
>>288787684That's a good anon.There's never a point in us arguing because no amount of logic will help us figure out what Sandro decided to write any given week.
Can I game the system by expecting a trash chapter next week so that Sandro can subvert me and give me a good chapter?
>>288787763Sorry, anon. It doesn't work that way.
>>288787640>That piece of shitLmao dude. I fucking love Luohan and I've never even read the arc he's a part of.
>>288787100I was going to say Mr. Frog clears, but he would get dq'd for killing people
>>288787836"Green" anon, why are you spoiling yourself? Just wait. It won't be long until you see Luohan in the daily storytime.
>>288787763You'll get a trashier chapter
>>288786935Wit until #10 is revealed to actually be the actual top worm
>>288787679I can't even bring myself to repeat them....
>>288775958>Yet he cares more about saving face than anything else.He is Asian after all.
>>288776101Who is Leo again?
>>288788125The Brazilian
>>288786586Yan isn't evil. Just doing a stressful, thankless babysitting job.
>>288788213He bombed Italy
>>288788226See? He's a good guy.
>>288778218Why the fuck does he need 8 assistants for low effort AI shit?
>>288778218>2022>about right after Eddie diedI see that Daro also lost hope
>>288786586I hope Yan gets a Yumi tier humiliation ritual.
>>288784040>>288786169Will the editor be the one reacting on the sidelines? Are the assistants the ones who will silently make the :0?! face together?
>>288786753Luohan and Niko only took the "Martial arts memories" since Luohan doesn't care about the lives of past Connectors.
>>288787100Witchwood Bandit is a master of using his environment. If there are rocks around, he can beat anybody
>>288787664>Alternatively, Shen just allowed them inIS HE STUPID?! IS HE **ACTUALLY** STUPID?!?
>>288788125This guy
>>288789361"I fucking hate Luohan, but what's the harm, nothing he can do anyways"
