>>289045504Yeah ok retard but you're losing powerful members. Collectivism doesn't mean that you just don't care when you lose members
>>289045529Wulong aside, these guys don't have as much energy as Fei, Xia, and Eddie.
>>289045504>>289045516>"""""Just""""""" replaceYeah, just pluck an orphan from the side and they'll become a top tier jobber. Naidan had to train for years and killed his teacher.
>>289045559Hey, get back to the previous scene!
>>289045559>How'd you get thisThis question annoys me disproportionately. Why the fuck are you asking why your guide has the knowledge and tools that he has? I guess someone curious might do that but come on.

REI WATCH OUT HE'S GONNA KILL HIMSELF AND MAKE YOU FEEL REALLY BAD
>>289045685>>289045697??????What? He clearly hit the sternum? The fuck do you mean spine?

>>289045708>I hit your spinal cord>>289045685>clearly hit him in the ribs/heart areaWhat kind of magical hex is this? He can alter the past?? Has he achieved speed so great that he can travel through time? Is he using Superboy Prime's retcon punch?
>>289045762The Worm is such a fucking stupid organization lmaoYou could send fucking Jessie and James and they'd do the job better
>>289045494>Everyone we send over to that area dies>You two head over there so you can get killed too, I will be joining you shortlyWhy are they like this?
>>289045762When the fuck did he lose his eye?
>>289045556Actually they just grab 1000 orphans and whoever survives the gu ritual gets to join worm
>>289045792>OutsiderThe man's been there for like 4 decades now, when's he going to be accepted?
>>289045792When you think about it, this was pretty much a school trip.
Chapter 206: The Past Revealed
>>289045792>"Outsider"For several decades? You can't be an outsider at that point.
>>289045762>I am killing myself. Making me the winner!

>>289045862He's been there for longer than a lot of "Inside" folk have even been alive. At some point you can't be a newfag anymore, no matter how much prior oldfags whine about it.
>>289045813Ohma threw out hexes like it’s second nature
>>289045762Is there a single non suicidal worm?
>>289045657I hate this trope so fucking much
>>289045885>I sent Ryuki to underground gladiator battles so the worm, a terrorist organization that has no reason to be interested in this would notice himI mean it worked, so what do I know?
>>289045614This page is actually cool.Not just the culo I genuinely think this stands out amongst the garbage we've been fed for a while now.
>>289045896>GPS doesn't work>Phone reception is cool thoughPlease tell me I'm a retard and they previously explained they're using special phones or walkies a couple of chapters back.
>>289045885No, Gaoh is right. Ryuki could be two times weaker and white worms would still find a way to kill themselves on him.
>>289045762Fucking PEAK Sandro right here

>>289046004>>289045962Someone post the edit
Hassad soon.
>>289045657>Sandro: Rei is in danger, this fight does have stakes, please believe me reader.
>>289046020SHYEEEAAAHHH
Why is there any reason to be worried about any of this when Rei already lowdiffs White Worms? Ohma and Retsudo could probably take on the entire upper leadership by themselves.
>>289045999Why did Sandro and Daro go with the gayest designs they could have? It's like they asked AI to poop out a K-Pop band.
>>289045762KINOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>289045588MY GRIFFITH LOOKING HUSBANDO
>>289046098Well if you can't win through force, there are... "other" ways...

>>289045762AIEEEEEEEE

Rei suuuuucks. Glad Rino gave him the boot.

>>289045762>Not happening, I'm dying now!No, seriously, how the FUCK do you respond without sounding mad?
>>289045762Is the worm just a bunch of really depressed people that wanna die?
>>289045823Never seen a muscular old man look less threatening

THETRAGEDYTHETRAGEDYTHETRAGEDYTHETRAGEDYTHETRAGEDYTHETRAGEDYTHETRAGEDYTH
I forgot how dirty he did Mukaku.Every appearance makes him look less threatening than the last.I don't even mind being "subverted" by having the mythical master end up a petty bitch fraud but he didn't need to look foolish for like ten chapters beforehand.
>>289045504It's hard to make edits that aren't spoilers.
>>289045999RIN WAS ONE OF THE NIKOS ALL ALONG?!
>>289045516>we lost Fei, Eddie and Xia >just to get Fei's master, Eddie's clone son and Xia's brotherSandro is truly unfathomable
>>289045794>You could send fucking Jessie and James and they'd do the job betterAt this point i honestly think the only way salvage the worm plotline is if Sandro stopped pretending they are a threat, turned them into team rocket, and just have them fumble their plans constantly due sheer incompetence and die comically, while often the protogonists reamain oblivious they were even being targeted.
>>289046399didnt shen say he was one of the stronger guys he has fought? So i guess technically he is not a complete fraud just an insane old wierdo
>>289045556>>289045534Don't you understand, Anon? The "Worm" is all "one entity". Killing a single "cell" does not affect the total "power" of the entity. It is constant and distributed among the members of the Worm. When a cell "dies" its strength merely goes back to the others. Whether the Worm is "a single person" or a thousand members, the total power is the same. Eliminating the weaker cells is merely allowing the remaining ones to grow stronger and "scale the wall".
>>289046469It was more in regards to his steroid use and the fact he built up the character of Mukaku Gaoh as a cover to hide his real history of being humiliated by Shen twice.As a fighter he's legit.
Only 2 more days until THAT moment
>>289045602>>289045612Impressive timing.
>>289045792I fucking love AI backgrounds so much, bros
I sacrifice 5 worm jobber tokens and summon Head of the Worm in the SHEEEEYYAAA position. Your move!
>>289045834aura: gone
>>289046524>When a cell "dies" its strength merely goes back to the others>Worms have been dying left and right>Leo shat himself into a PTSD seeing Yan fightI SEE IT NOW
>>289046586>SHEEEEYYAAAWhich panel was this from again
>>289045762Laughing so hard it's threatening to detach my retina again.
>>289045471Ogi.
>>289046636So fucking stupid,
>>289045762Its like the kenganvengers learned nothing from the purgatory arc.
>>289045471Tom & Jerry... is no more.
i dopped this shit long time agowhere should i start again
>>289045792>The terrible no good super dangerous "disputed territory">looks even more fucking chill than the rest of the "inside"
>>289045504This is a 3 centimeter difference is height according to their bios, btw
>>289045534Judging by what we have seen in the latest strike rich chapter sandro unrionically sees communism/collectivism as a type of gu ritual.
>>289045516You know if they're all in the Inside, that should imply they're about to clash with our heroes, right?
>>289045516Who writes the tourism guidebook for the Inside?
Reminder that Fu Zhan who is seemingly one of Shen's right hand men now, was cloned from Ogi.So the clone of the guy who got blasted in seconds against Rei is somehow able to go toe to toe with mass worm murderer/400 win streak haver Lolong Donaire.Since there's no genetic difference that could account for this we can only conclude that they trained Ogi wrong as a joke.
>>289046759Isn't it the opposite? I thought Fu Zhan was the original
>>289046430Anon's relationship with Sandro is a complicated one.
>>289045529Somehow we really did kill the original "Evil on th move" gang and replaced them all for retarded reasons.>Gilbert is a clone>Xia Yan is a brother>Niko is a Niko
>>289045806Look at how utterly gleeful he looks here >>289045471 and on the NOT HAPPENING page. A Worm's greatest aspiration in life is to die, he was happy for Ogi and eager to let his subordinates share in that bliss, and join his partner himself.
>>289045504>YOU'VE GOT IT ALL........backwards.
>>289045556Honestly that seems to work well. Looking at Tiger Niko, he's got a golden horseshoe up his ass when it comes to finding talented once in a lifetime prodigies.
>>289046280And that's why they kicked him out.
>>289045545In another timeline, the warring districts of the Inside were brought to heel by Kazzy the Unifier
>>289046616from Jean Luc vs Nicolas i believe
>>289045504>even the Wu clan freaks who hui sheng their guys think the Worm is too casual about members dying
>>289045762Other NPCbros... how does our feats possibly match this???
>>289045641>this one's tough >>289045657>omg one clean hit and i'm done for>>289045674>instantaneous jobbingWhy is Sandro so utterly allergic to letting the white worms do ANYTHING to showcase their supposed strength before eating shit?
>>289045853I forgot about Blue Steel Okubo
>>289045648I think going barefoot in some horrible nasty tunnel in mini-Somalia is the dumbest thing a person could ever do.
>>289045657HOH SIISThe Worms will do whatever it takes to get the joj
>>289045762LMAOOOOOO
>>289045784>>289045752Its the same shit that Niko did to Ohma.
>>289046919Naidan had an actually good showing and I could see him winning that fight if he wasn't there specifically to die.
>>289046919He has an allergy to tension.
>>289045762It always hits.
>>289045648>steps on nails, barbed wire, various "traps" previously mentioned, sewer sludge, cum, dead ratsbut barefoot he's H-HAYAI
>>289045745So uh, White Worm?One of the strongest Worms?Right?
>>289046919He's already bored of this arc with how they're just using the underground tunnels to skip 90% of the Inside
>>289045762You could say they're too weak to lose
>>289046098>SEVEN TEEN GREEN NIKOS>TRAINING AND GAINING AT GOAH RANCH
>>289045876Incidentally Metsudo is the same age as Mukaku
>>289045801How large in square miles is the Inside meant to be?
>>289045762A STUNNING MORAL VICTORY FOR TENJIN, GRIFFITH, AND OTHER GUY>>289046963Oh definitely, it's just a shame that every one besides him is just a random NPC with literally nothing to them. Generic, LITERALLY AI generated designs, and not even a named or coherent fighting style. There's a very clear point where Sandro stopped bothering with any kind of substance to his Worm jobbers. None of them even practice a discernible martial art, the closest was Xia's arm whip being commented on by the Heavenly Wolves. Everybody after exclusively fights with blurry punches and SHHHYEEAAH rushes.
>>289045762>These guys are almost impossible to take a liveI'm gonna be SO real with you, I don't think the poison even matters on that front.
>>289045762the fucking music notelike he's saying something silly
>>289046632Nozomi...
>>289045762With retards like this, I cant blame Xia Ji when he felt he could just be the head and lead them all.
>>289047043>kenganvengers trying to keep a worm alive long enough to interrogate him while all of reality tries to kill him like final destination
>>289046211Take your moral defeat in stride and tell him to raise a triumphant cry with his final breath.
>>289045762He was literally paralysed here btw which means worms carry their cyanide pills inside their mouths and you can kill them by dislodging them on accident.
>>289045729Is he a titan?
>>289047043>>289047069
>>289045885This is actually the biggest lie Mukaku ever told in his life.
>>289045834You can read the scars on his forehead as nome, there could be some kind of wordplay for "shameless" there.What does it mean? Well...
>>289045762>That really showed them huh
>>289045801>that backgroundJesus Christ.

>>289045863>He doesn't seem to be lyingWell, if Himuro says so...
>>289045999The first time I saw this page, something about that smile allowed me to instantly clock which one was Tiger. Or maybe it was less the smile and more my subconscious noticing that the other six all have normal eyes and/or foreheads
>>289047155Are "they" stronger than "me"?
>>289045885Weren't you just trying to kill the gang because you thought that the Worm somehow found you? After knowing they would because of your pizza delivery, when you said you'd kill the Connector?
>>289045876I'm glad we had Retsudo come with us on this arc so we could be reminded how cool and epic Metsudo is.
>>289047155You were awesome, Penn and Teller. One of the top 5 comedy duos I've ever seen commit suicide
>>289045876>youngest sonSayaka is a man?
>>289045552A GOD WHAT KIND OF A SURPRISE COULD THIS BRAND NEW MYSTERY BOX BE HIDING! I AM SO ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT RIGHT NOW!!!!!
>>289046399I like Mukaku as basically a 2-bit cheater grunt miniboss that'd be wiped out at the end of a short arc in a normal series, that managed to keep on trucking along for decades until he became legitimately threatening. All because he wanted a salty runback.
>>289046616>>289046887It's from Ohma vs. #6.
>>289045762Is the real reason Xia so "weak" is because he's the only worm who doesn't try to throw his life away at the earliest convenience over stupid bullshit?
>>289045920What the fuck are these schizos talking about? Ohma LITERALLY just said he was a clone too >>289045896Why would the normal assumption not just be "Mukaku knows about this Connector and cloning business clearly, so when he saw Ohma he assumed he was either the Connector himself or a Worm raised clone"? How is that of all things suspicious???
>>289045590The answer to any sort of question like that is just "page filler". 90 percent of the time, that's just the answer for why Sandro would write these baffling things.
>>289046956Yes, I remember what he did to Kiryu but that one was on the belly I believe, this one was clearly hitting other bones.
>>289045999Niko, why you tryin not to laugh, bruh?! That's disrespectful
>>289045974>three of his students are KurokiUnfathomable...
>>289045471>>289045504>>289045516The most, and honestly only, impressive thing about the Worm is how they can brainwash all of these people into their suicide cult.>>289045529>killed off the "evil is on the move guys" >replaced them with less interesting peopleBravo Sandro, what's the next step in your master plan?>>289045569>gives Ohma the very thing that enables him to do his job for freeGod this pisses me off. It's a small thing, but this is such garbage writing.>>289045648>barefoot in this sort of environment that probably has a thousand drug needles and all sorts of other shit lying everywhereSuper retarded.>>289045657>ifhe lands a clean hit, I'm doneNobody believes this.>>289045708>temporary paralysis from spinal damageYeah no this guy would be crippled for the rest of his life.>>289045762No, seriously, the Worm hypnotizing so many people into suicide bombers is impressive. Not even the middle east has this many people willing to kill themselves. Hell, the middle east promises virgins in heaven, meanwhile being a worm jobber gets you nothing.
>>289047242Sandro is pre-justifying his retarded writing, dont worry it gets worse tomorrow.
>>289045813>>289045823>instantly defeats a pretty strong Worm guy>starts with this absolute shitter attack when he could potentially hurt a protagonistHow convenient.>>289045834Garbage.>>289045885>I've trained him real goodBest joke I've read in Kengan so far. I was laughing for a minute.
>>289045823Remember when people thought that this was a different Gaoh Mukaku or a Worm impostor because of the lack of scars on his face compared to his previous appearance in the previous chapter where he killed the jobber Worm?
>>289047225I guess if you count Agito as an adopted older brother...
The whiplash from the joy of reading this other Storytime to the boredom of this just makes it all the worse.
>>289045962God he looks so shit compared to how he was at the end of Asura.I fucking hate this arc so much because it Luke Skywalker'd Mukaku from being this almost legendary unifier like Nobunaga to being this pathetic little sneak attack specialist.
>>289047173It was pretty obvious frankly. One of them is Ohma's Niko. Sunglasses, back left, and back right don't feel like Tiger Niko and don't have his eyes. The long haired one shows his eyes next chapter iirc, so that put him out of the running too. So that left either Six as the one, or Seven(and he got majorly JUSTED). Seven also got attention because of Mukaku's powerscaling next week, not that that mattered.Personally I was on the train of either Six, or a twist that Tiger Niko WASN'T one of these guys, but one of the mentioned students who was rejected by Mukaku, and that he came back with a vengeance and shot up the Niko school with the Worm's help, and that was why he was so obsessive about being the "real" Niko, because he had a complex over being passed over and went to underhanded means to make himself the last Niko by force. Of course, Sandro wasn't interested in exploring something like that though so it's just Six and he's evil because uhhh, he just is!
>>289047242They're making a huge leap in logic where they're assuming Mukaku must have been aware that the Connector would enter the Inside, but the only proof they have of that is Mukaku being confused by Ohma.
>>289045504>>289045516>get send on suicide missions>commit suicide to avoid capture>literally get send on suicide bombings>get sacrificed in Gu rituals>Yeah but you see "we" are all part of the "Worm"That doesn't explain anything. How the fuck is the Worm an organization? Why would anyone ever join them? They are blowing through martial arts masters like tissues, how is any of this sustainable?
>>289047509He's evil because...that five-year old BASTARD Luohan groomed him on discord
>>289045504>>289045516This view point makes sense when you remember that Tenjin is just a clone of Fu Zhan. There's probably a ton of Worms who are just clones of each other, so replacement isn't an issue. Shen has a dozen acres of clones wandering japan for instance, it's not that hard to do actually lol >>289046791Sandro just replaced the original Trio with their inferiors and then didn't even bother with Niko made him Fei's replacement
>>289047430Not too long ago, I read through the entirety of Golden Kamuy in like a week. Sandro wishes he could write a story with half as much planning and research and care that Satoru Noda put into writing (AND drawing) that masterpiece of a manga.
>>289045552I genuinely can't remember if this was ever followed up on

>>289045962
>>289045685>Only passed down to one successorYeah why is that, this is suppose to be the clan that rivals the Kure. Why's it just one guy who's allowed to learn this technique?
>>289047736Isn't his clan composed of a single active assassin per successor? Even in Ashura we were supposed to believe that their rivalry was One Vs. All
>>289045834Thank God Ohma's name box was there, I nearly missed him.
>>289047242They just took a few too many hits to the head.
>>289045999I'm already half Niko
>>289045494>>289045504My reasonable HERO, Eren!
>>289047685KEK
>>289045876He makes a good point, why ARE metsudo’s kids so much younger than him?
>>289047532>Why would anyone ever join them?To worship the ConnectorFor fear of his wrathTo provide medication for the Head of the worm who is no fool, Yan
>>289047910He could have another child right now anon, twins even. Don't try him, or you will be the mother!
>>289045999 In hindsight it's funny that Sandro tried to hide Tiger Niko's identity by giving him bangs over his eyes. Really why even need a twist on who Tiger Niko even is here. It just makes it funnier knowing TN looked like a British doofus when he was younger and then dyed his hair and made it spiky
>>289047509Six "betrayed" Mukaku after he forced all of the "failures" into a Gu ritual
>>289045962...
>>289047597It was yeah, it also sucked ass
>>289048096It was never really said that that was why he did it though. That may have been the reason why Five did, the sunglasses guy, because Six mentioned how much Five hated Mukaku and he wanted to kill him so bad he imploded himself with possessing spirit. But Six didn't seem to care about or have any real animosity towards Mukaku besides seeing him as something to surpass(lol), seeing as how even back then he was using his own fellow Nikos as test subjects. Six was just evil from the start like THAT BASTARD LUOHAN.
>>289045602SHHHHHH- ACK
>>289045752He is clearly hitting the spine
>>289047767Really weird decision to make, like a Kure wouldn't be able to catch a Mikazuchi off guard and end the lineage right then and thereI have to assume the only reason this hasn't happened yet is because the Kure are hoping for the a Successor to have a Kure fetish and trade it all away for genetically enhanced murder pussy
>>289045944I think the implication is that someone destroyed Ryuki's tracker
>>289045885>I taught him Earth-Crouching Dragon. Nothing beats that!
>>289048123He used to look so fucking cool...
>>289045885>
>>289047736It would be cool if a single Raishin practicioner was on the level of the entire Kure clan but it doesnt rly make sense in how it was written even in Ashura.Like i like the concept but it is kengan so eh
>>289048387im disappointed we never see him use earth crouching dragon at least once
>>289048432Raian was the strongest man that the Kure clan had seen in decades. Rei was definitely stronger than nitwits like Hollis or Reichi.
>>289047314If you can't even have ironic fun, then just leave and don't come back.
>>289045999Another "tragedy"?
>>289045999Lolong's premonition sure is weird.How does he know about characters hes never even met?
>>289045863Ey mister RimmerEy mister Rimmer
>>289048531He's coming up with a perfect anti-Ohma strategy by simulating the origin of the Niko Style itself. Be patient.

>>289048123From battle hardened legend to my uncle.
>>289045516It might seem stupid for Worm to just throw away their members like that. Even if they don't value life and no member is precious, you might think it's better not to send them to their needless deaths. But you've got it all wrong.See, the Worm organization is one massive gu ritual. They purposely train their members to fight with as many jobber flags as possible and die. Why? To force "evolution". Eventually, one member of Worm will "adapt" and acquire a complete immunity to all hexes.That'll be the Worm who actually survives.

>>289045999I'm seeing septuple here! 49 Nikos!
>>289049420A bomb would decimate the nutrients.
Maybe all the suicider is actually just bunch of cloneYes even Naidan in KvP is clone of actually Naidan
I love how Sandro's blatant mind changing about Mukaku makes his stated goal of conquering the Inside make absolutely zero sense.He wasted half his life punching knife hobos in the Inside for the purpose of what exactly? To unite it to use as an army against Shen? And what reason would Shen have to politely walk into the place to have it used against him? Mukaku didn't know about the clones until THAT BASTARD LUOHAN told him after "the tragedy" already happened, so he had absolutely zero means of baiting a confrontation until much much later.

>>289045834I want to punch anyone who ever insisted sandro was good at comedy.
>>289045762lmao
>>289049620He's excellent at comedy, just not intentionally >>289045762
>>289047234We know Sandro.
>>289047869By the end of Omega Koga will realise the Niko Style was inside him all along. Also the guide literally being called Nameless by the characters does bring to mind how No Name is only named that because Luxu was a dumbass.
>>289049724That's not what I meant anon, you "subverted" my post.
>>289048531Well, as you can see he's not really imagining the right looks for the ones he's not familiar with. Probably why the "Inside" looks all weird too.
>>289049724>>289049620Sadly I'm rereading Ashura and it is legitimately funny when it wants to be.
>>289045762ICONICAlso I could have sworn Mukaku was the one who killed himI guess I mixed up the two jobbers
>>289050010I might want to try that myself, at the very least out of curiousity to see if the Sandroisms were as bad as anons say they were pre-50.
>>289049620You never threw a punch in your life. Spare your hands.
>>289045844YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I'M ONLY 100100 IS YOUNG
>>289049620That sequence had good comedy.Now punch the screen, invalid.
>>289050081>He hasn't (re)read Asura despite being in an Omega threadUnfathomable.For some reason, hacks seem to have a good sense of comedy but instead of leaning on their strengths, they desperately want to write serious stories or whatever, and their hackery will eventually unfold.
New chapter is already out, "me"
>>289049620The Okubo joke is a bit funny.
>>289050471Unfortunately, I am one of the "green" anons who read along for the first time during the daily's initial run and have yet to "scale" the "wall". I'm planning on doing a reread after the daily ends so I can feel the full force of Sandro's writing style.
>>289045823ENTER the funniest character in Kengan
>>289045816He's bleeding so hard the blood is drowning out his eye.That's some hardcore poison, it looks his all his blood vessels exploded.
>>289050552Somehow even worse.At least the enlightened ones got to relive the good old days they may have forgotten about.You're going back to experience more Sandro-made horrors beyond comprehension.
>>289049529It's why I'm baffled why some people have said that they liked the whole The Last Jedi treatment Mukaku gets in this arc. In addition to being absolutely unsatisfying characterization, it also has rife with plot holes as you mentioned. It's such a dumb way of subverting expectations that it is as dumb as Luke Skywalker's subverting of expectations in TLJ by that faggot Rian Johnson (who is basically the American film equivalent of Sandro when it comes to storytelling).
>>289045792>disputed territory>nothing happenedWhat was the point of all the empty hype?
>>289047869Heh
>>289045614I don't care what you guys think Rei is fucking cool
>>289050658SASOOKEIS REALLY COOL
>>289045529Something about this page feels off. I can't describe it right. If this was a TV show, I'd say the characters were bluescreened onto the background and they didn't get the lighting on the set to match the CG.
>>289045834Sandro really likes the >guy seems like a badass>but actually he's a wacky comedy guy who does SHENANIGANS!>but actually...he really is a super cool badass!The problem is he's just not good at it. He keeps trying and it never works and he just ruins cool characters. I think the closest he ever got to pulling it off is with that vile, evil bastard. What character is he trying to plagiarize here? There's got to be a specific anime/manga character he's going for that he can never get right.
>>289050684But I hate Sasuke

>>289050777Uuuuuhhh... Sakura, the beautiful?
>>289050917Sakura isn't this busty im afraid
>>289045762Muy bien
>>289050615I think I can see why people actually like Mukaku specifically in a vacuum, because he's pretty much the last entertaining character we get. He's fun, him proudly proclaiming that he doesn't care if he's a fraud if he still wins, trolling Koga, ect. If it wasn't for the nonsensical plotholes left behind from the original draft of the character that Sandro couldn't outright retcon without making the holy one(Kuroki) look stupid, I might not have had a MASSIVE issue with it, if not for the sheer humiliation ritual he's subjected to. But he was subjected to it, so it's wasted.It's another case of Sandro not being in on the joke when he accidentally creates something halfway interesting. The creator of the Niko Style(which is psuedo principles apparently), doesn't have any idea what principles are, never "scaled the wall" despite facing battle mode Shen twice in his life, and pretty much failed at every last thing he set out to do in a century of life, besides I guess raise Ryuki(who agrees that Shen tracking him down and murdering him in his hut was justified self defense.) And we're supposed to be okay with that just because GRRRR WHAT A SCUMBAG, THE ANSWER WILL REMAIN A MYSTERY.
>>289045999FUCKING SEVEN NIKOS!?
>>289051276Tbh my biggest sticking point against what Mukaku became is simply how stupid his motivation is. I can understand his seething and revenge plan against Shen. But the Shen that did that against his clan is long dead. And so was his 'successor', as far as Mukaku knew since he didn't know about the 'lol just don't breathe' tech yet.So his goal in the present is to get revenge on the guy who got brainwashed as a kid by the other guy who got brainwashed as a kid by the guy who killed his clan. And it's just so many layers removed that I can't relate at all.It doesn't help that Sandro is constantly changing up how Huisheng works and how effective it is, given how Gilbert and Eddie are treated as completely different now.
>>289045569"Outside" mentioned!!!
>>289049529>To unite it to use as an army against Shen? And what reason would Shen have to politely walk into the place to have it used against him?Not that it would matter even if this was the motivation. Because even if Mukaku had every single person on the Inside ready to attack Shen on sight, he'd just effortlessly kill them all. If this was Mukaku's plan, then it was an utterly retarded one. And he should know, considering how he saw Shen easily kill all of his fellow Long Clan members.
>>289045762Damn the worm! They've done it again
>>289050010It was pretty good pre chapter 50 omega too
>>289051366Yeah, it's another consequence of Huisheng working differently LITERALLY every single time it's discussed. Shen up until recently was basically treated as a special case, where the previous "him"s all seemed to be considered the same immortal person. He doesn't just have the memories of the first Shen, or even the previous Shen and the first Shen, but EVERY FUCKING SHEN. Which also makes his Huisheng even being possible nonsensical, because how the fuck can he REPEATEDLY mind you, impart 5000 years of life to a new Shen before they both die of old age, magic breathing or not.But as stupid as it was, Sandro/the narrative treated him as a unique case vs the Wu being treated as larping schizos, so sure, he's special since he invented it, everyone else is doing it wrong, your OC is that cool Sandro. Fine. But THEN, we get this fucking Gilbert humiliation ritual where Shen sits down to wank Eddie, and stares into the camera to offhandedly go "oh yeah even I'm just a brainwashed schizo lol". So with that interpretation yeah, Mukaku's revenge becomes utterly pointless because the actual murderer of his family is dead in the eyes of the narrative.
>>289049125Tio mukaku...
>>289045999Three jokers?
>>289051661I disagreed at first but now i'm convinced sandro literally just writes the plot chapter-by-chapter, the lack of cohesion in the narrative is just too blatant by this point to argue otherwise
>>289048704>Tiger Niko giving me jobby vibes all of sudden what happen uncIt's the secret Nico Style move, "Fighting Ick"

One of the things I hate the most about Sandro's ad hoc writing style is all the post-hoc rationalizations that people use, not necessarily to defend his writing, but to make sense of things.So for example, people have often criticized Himuro for hyping Yumi up to be on par with Agito in terms of fighting skill, when it turned out that Yumi was weak as fuck. Even people who hate Sandro will claim things like how Himuro is retarded or an unreliable narrator to make sense of the fact that Yumi didn't live up to the hype.But, really, that's NOT an example of Himuro being retarded. It's an example of Sandro abusing his overused method of mindlessly hyping up the latest opponents. But because Sandro is incapable of delivering on that hype, it has the effect of making Himuro seem retarded and dishonest.
>>289051818I just can't understand why he'd treat his work this way. He treats it the way a lazy student treats homework or summer book reports. Always cramming at the last second. Or the way a minimum wage worker treats his shift. Just clock in and clock out while exerting as little effort as company policies allow.There's no passion. No love at all.
>>289051818Mate in even Haruo's profile Sandro essentially admitted to making shit up on the fly. It's not breaking news.
>>289051979It's just autists coming up with headcanon, I've read somewhere that the way their brain works really hate inconsistency.
>mfw real champions tournament
>>289051979>One of the things I hate the most about Sandro's ad hoc writing style is all the post-hoc rationalizations that people use, not necessarily to defend his writing, but to make sense of things.C'mon man, don't hate the player hate the game. Can't fault anyone for trying to make sense of this absolute mess of a story even if most theories anons are trying to play connect the dots with will never be officially confirmed or denied.
>>289051979>>289052068The worst Himuro one is people trying to frame it as Himuro INTENTIONALLY lying and misleading Agito into coming back to fight Yumi by overhyping him. Something that was literally never even slightly implied to be the case in any manga panel, or even character bio cope.
>>289046709It's not really an Omega thing. Or a Kengan one for that matter. I doubt Sandro got the idea for him to be bigger than Julius prior to "that" fight anyway.
>>289045792>>289045801Holy shit what is this dialogue???This is like fourth grade writing at best
>>289046458>if Sandro stopped pretending they are a threat, turned them into team rocket, and just have them fumble their plans constantly due to sheer incompetence and die comically, while often the protagonists remain oblivious they were even being targeted.You just described the manga sans the last part.
>>289047869That‘s Nuts!
>>289051818All the last minute rule changing in the fortnite arc makes it extremely obvious
>>289046919Because, you see, Sandro reeeeaaaaally loved it when Kenshiro styled on mohawks who were being overly cruel while sticking their tongues out. So he wrote a manga that's like an endless cycle of mohawks getting thrashed, except with:>no physical stakes because no one is really threatened by worms in the first place>no emotional stakes because no character is even the slightest bit emotionally invested in what is going on>no catharsis because of the first point where they didn't threaten and haven't done anything to warrant catharsis in their defeat>constant "is that all you got?" level snark for extremely cheap attempts at aura farming that instead make them look like cocky pricks no matter how weak and unimposing their opponent isThat's what it is. First few arcs of Fist of the North Star on repeat with the good parts extracted.
>>289052258I love Itagaki's wacky proportions>Yasha Ape waiting in line to congratulate Baki
>>289050615>who is basically the American film equivalent of Sandro when it comes to storytellingQRD?
>>289052507Rian Jonson is a prick who prides himself on subverting expectations, and who thinks himself too good to adhere to genre conventions. He makes a film noir ? It's about highschoolers. A whodunit? The twist is that the killer is stupid and the culprit obvious. A Star Wars movie? Luke is a depressed fuck who blames the Jedi for the existence of the Sith. From what I've heard Stefen Moffat from the BBC is also pretty Sandrocore.
>>289052462Not only that but the snake is there too. Bottom left.
>>289045588Reading through this chapter I finally noticed what this whole damn manga reminds me of.This whole thing is just Tails Gets Trolled. The way characters are randomly introduced, the way everyone always acts so cool towards everything, the insta jobbing, the stupid dialog. This is Tails Gets Trolled to a t.
>>289047048He is.
>>289045762I like how his two companions kill themselves off-panel after (presumably?) losing a fight off-panel to a guy who doesn't fight back. One of then dies so hard we don't even get to see his corpse.
>>289045863It really does not seem hard at all to track you down.
>>289050010I disagree. I don't think there were five jokes in all of Kengan Asura that I laughed at.
