>>289112105>But things were going a little too wellYou could say they were a little too strong to win
>>289112150Koga the Eternal Waterboy
>>289112160Damn Connector looks like THAT?!
>>289112131>descendants So does that mean all the past connectors before they discovered cloning were just some clan of mountain people?
>>289112131Damn I thought that was Koga what a shame
>>289112131Ah yes. 1300 years ago. Look at those electrical cables on the top right. Definitely had those 1300 years ago.
Chapter 214: Give Me Back
>>289112143>Establish 1300 years ago>"The Connector" still has modern clothing on, black pants and white shirt
>>289112236>and made them do a Gu ritual, but they all diedThat's the expected outcome of a Gu you gigantic fucking moron the fuck do you mean "but" what were you expecting to happen?!
>>289112191>>289112247>5 of us at our prime was a one sided bloodbath>but just me when i'm old as fuck can finally get revengeSandro, you forgot to lampshade how retarded his plan is by making him do a crazy face with his tongue sticking out! It's just one thing after another making Mukaku as stupid as possible.
>>289112357They just left like that? Feels a bit cut short
>>289112400He was both too "green" and too strong to win back then
>>289112419Unfathomable...
>>289112076ThisMukaku reminds of a really ugly cat picture I saw on the internet once
>>289112302>the Niko style turned out to be a shamNo it fucking didn't it's still literally the most bullshit magical "martial art" in the setting
>>289112061i'm bothered by how much mukaku's outfit ends up looking like bath robes when i feel its intended to be a gi of sorts
>>289112471He looks kinda off here.
>>289112131Aberrant, you say?
Chapter 215: Changed My Mind
>>289112247>Now you've fucked everything up, idiots>NOW I CAN KILL HIM, RYUKI MADE THE PERFECT BAITSo which is it? Did they fuck up his plan or not?
>>289112419>long distance hexing mixed in with insults to his characterUnfathomable technique. He has "perfected" the balance.
>>289112131Absolutely MURDERED the hype.Omega's cold open? Just meaningless background lore.
>>289112547This is a comedy manga
>>289112131So... why was this important enough to be the opening colour pages of Omega? Shen beating up a jobber 1300 years ago? SMUG FRENCHMAN>>289112150I don't even really care about the retcon itself I'm not that uptight about Kengan Lore, but why bother? Why does the Advance have to be invented to fight Shen? They were fighting the Wu anyway it could still have been an anti "kure" (Wu but Tiger isn't gonna be bothered explaining that) technique godDAMNIT Sandro why do you deliberately make your writing worse?
>>289112471Musashi would have easily defeated Shen, btw
>>289112207>self inflicted humiliation ritualWhy?
>>289112530Jurota outta nowhere
>>289112061He and Ohma just kinda teleported over there.He could probably even stop them now.
>>289112614>i haven't finished complimenting you yetLMFAO.
>>289112547This just looks so bad to me.
>>289112614>hey, I haven't finished complimenting you yet
>>289112105Why was it necessary for Wowang to split off of the Worm to... kill the Worm's opposition?It's not even that subtle, both still use a Worm for their banner!
>>289112337>the person I trained to be as weak as possible is so weak
>>289112603>supposedly serious fight between two of the most important characters>that fucking bottom left "character talking inside another character's thoughts" gagThis is no comedy manga, this is a tragedy.
>>289112356He was trying to make his own agito
DONE
>>289112703ENTER
correct me if im wrong was wu xing a fagand didnt his master got kiilled by fei shieng not edawrd wu
>>289112469No it isn't bit you are about to see what is
forget the retardation, direct acknowledgment of the hex kata, principles and immune system broke me already
>>289112150So originally it wasn't made to fight the Kure Clan, then it was, and then it wasn't, again.
>>289112681Assuming this is truth (you'll understand in a minute): They were the best of the best in the Worm, Worm Spec Ops if you will, then they got the idea that they should be the ones in charge
>>289112614>Shen is aware of complimenthexingTsuyoi... Mukaku never stood a chance..
>>289112695He's just reading the script at this point LMAO.
Holdup I think I know what's coming. is this the>i'm now retarded so let's fight evenlyscene? i read this like 2 years ago
>>289112770Stop spoiling
>>289112716Last chance to get off this ride lads
>>289112131More evidence that Omega was a totally different story at the beginning to what it turned into.
>>289112703?????????????????????????
>>289112494>You wouldn'tI dunno, Shen, you're talking to the Minor Setback-Man, he'll abandon any plan
>>289112131i thought the bottom panel looked familiarwhat was the theory before? about koga vs ryuki in the future?
>>289112715And he got his 7 little Nikkers who were apparently good enough (though not selected through the Gu). The way it's written it seems like he was expecting more than one survivor. I'm starting to see where Tiger got his "let's just treat students as disposable" retardation from.
>>289112694Sandro is a hipster.
>>289112236But he isn't the last one anymore. Ohma is right there.He's also like, 50 times stronger.
Newfag here (supposing i can still be called that since i've got the ropes of this trash now), Mukaku is an interesting character. Dirtiest player in the game without a single empathetic point, but all of it is geared towards the main antagonist. It's charming how dedicated he is to beating one man. He really is insane. I imagine Wakatsuki would become just as crazy if he got beat by a 4th Niko style user lmao
>>289112131Yeah this is a complete retcon.
>>289112837no u
>>289112150>when you nut but she keep sucking
>>289112207why do we need to know he's the prostate king
>>289112703>principlesSo it begins....
>>289112839ohama is a clone of shen wulong while ryuki is a clone of shen wulong
>>289112741It was when that page happened at least, and he clearly didn't know about "Principles" as shown today, so it really makes no fucking sense either way when the Niko style still shits on 95% of everything else.
>>289112276Looking real AI there Koga
>>289112837No, fuck you, I'm a hipster, Sandro is a fucking hack is what he is.
>>289112530My soft king!
>>289112131Why even include Huisheng in the story when it never fucking works then?If you can have aberrant connectors then it doesn't actually work, if you can have five Wu Hei's that don't act like Wu Hei then it doesn't fucking work.That entire concept does nothing but drag things down if such a thing is possible.
>>289112703How do you respond to this without sounding mad?
>>289112786Nah. Last chance was the end of chapter 49. The OP explicitly warned "green" readers that this was the point of no return.https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/287995614/#q287996127
>>289112695>>289112703Gotta say Kengan going full wuxia after this would be an entertaining development, kinda like Medaka Box genre shifts. Not that Medaka Box was good though.
>>289112276>ai genning the expressions on the ex main charactercome on man at least keep it limited to background shit
>>289112556What is any of this
>>289112839"He" is the "last" one thoughThe "final" clone produced
>>289112259Reminder that indestructible is when you tense your muscles so much it withstands blows.By the existing logic all Mukaku is doing here is giving himself brain damage because his neck is stiff as fuck so his face and skull are tanking blows full force with only his fucking nose muscles or whatever left to soften the impact.
>>289112954Eh there are multiple jumping off points>Ch 49>Eddie's deathWhat's coming up next though is the last truly entertaining bit of pure Kengan after that it's just mediocre fights and a dogshit story propped up by fantastic memes
>>289112471>Daro: Ah this is the perfect AI model to trace, nothing bad about this at all.
>>289112143>The Westward aren't a separate faction partnering with the Worm because they can assist each others goals>The Westwards are working for the Connector because he handed the Wu their asses so hard that they splintered in half and a WEST side partnered up with the terrorist cult that originated from CHINAWhat kind of political commentary is this. What a way to make Eddie just a giant very strong lapdog who's Boss was keeping him out of the loop for no reason>>289112419>>289112441>Hexed the fuck out of Mukaku >He's practically good as dead in his fight with ShenOhma's kind of evil for this one>>289112547>The anime kid trying to have his Aizen moment
>>289112981>he doesn't know about gaoh style "iron brain"
when did they start using AI?
>>289112703I know Kengan (and martial arts manga in general) isn't really highbrow or deep in terms of charactersBut Shen is truly spawned from what a sixth grader would think is cool
>>289112302Ohma has been dosed with enough Xanax to kill an elephant this whole arc.I get it, he's wiser and less hot headed than in Ashura but there should be SOME emotion other than "yeah whatever fag".
>>289112819Yeah. Most popular theory back then was Koga turns evil into the masked fighter.
>>289112756That's not the way it's presented. The head of the Worm wanted them to split off into two just so they can kill threats to the Worm.Which then led to them thinking they're hot shit, sure, but that seems completely unnecessary.
You know, I actually don't dislike Shen completely and utterly nodiffing the old man. It's got good Final Boss energy even if it comes at the cost of 0 choreography. It's just everything else around it that ruins it, including the story's inability to decide whether he's le curazy "I am the will of God, the Earth's immune system" egomaniac or wholesome chungus beer chugger, or the need to introduce "Principles" as a thing anyone can do actually instead of just saying "He's got 1000+ years of experience (for real this time ignore the jobbers that were supposed have even more thousand years of experience) and he can just do that shit", or the fact that we just spent the last five chapters shitting on his opponent so the stomp comes across as way less impressive than it could have, or Shen somehow missing Ryuki leaving when there's like one road that leads to this house up on a rocky cliff (why is that there in the middle of the city), or any other fucking thing I'm too mentally checked out to list.
>>289112517I don't know what AI he uses so I just grabbed two popular ones.
>>289112881As we'll see soon, Mukaku didn't know that
>>289112703So it's Aikido and Shaori, just less flashy, more annoying and it let's you do even more bullshit
>>289112695I see now..."Principles" allow you to break the fourth wall.
>>289112716I don't think I'm ready to experience it again.
>>289112943The worst thing is that a good writer would have made "huisheng doesn't work" the point and used it to mock how these people cling to a thousand of years old spark of glory and larp as a guy who's actually not hot shit by modern standards and obsessive clinging to tradition just brings about stagnation, but no now it actually works and makes Shen a god among men so I guess the Wu were doing that shit wrong.
>>289112517
>>289112614>I haven't finished hexing you yetI really can't tell if this series is self aware or not, my god.
>>289112703>Holding down the point of forceWouldn't this do the exact opposite of what Shen is implying? There's simply no way to explain this other than brute strength.
>>289113026In the middle of BB
>>289113026>theyDaro is a man(?)
>>289112844The longer shen is present in the story the more heroic Mukaku becomes.
>>289112191
>>289112207>somehow Mukaku... survived
>>289112943Sandro just got bored with the idea. So he's moving onto straight out brain transplants. Huisheng served its purpose by providing page and chapter filler.
>>289113076lolI'm glad we're still getting fresh edits during the reread.
>>289113138He already explained it anon.Principles.
>>289112716Up next: One of the biggest brain rots in Kengan.
>>289112530
>>289112131I have never seen a mangaka, a writer even, so thoroughly slash, burn and salt every inch of intrigue he creates
>>289112547
>>289113069>or the need to introduce "Principles" as a thing anyone can do actuallybut without "principles" being a thing literally anyone can do how are we supposed have our "this character is literally the connector" moments
>>289112471
>>289112603>Why swing a sword when you could kill a man with a single finger
>>289113124Why are the Japanese OBSESSED with pill bugs?
>>289112837hipsters were actually all about authenticity, its why there was a big push for stuff like craft beer and single origin coffees and the like, even if it was just done in a masturbatory way at the end of the day the hipster wants a genuine thing, pretty far from what sandro does
>>289112547I know this page was written purely to pad out the chapter while still keeping Shen's mystery box motivation intact so don't hit me with the frenchman but what the fuck did he mean by this?It's written like it's genuine but evidently he was bullshitting.
>>289112530>previous volume had Mukaku on the cover>volume opens with Mukaku Vs Shen>this is the coverReally going to not put Shen on the cover just so they can keep him for later down the line even though it was the perfect moment to put Shen on the cover?
>>289113233now that some time has passed whats worse, the principles sword that the rest of the clan doesnt use for some reason or just downloading principles?
>>289113233>how can we "show" readers a character is strong if we can't "tell" them how strong he isKengan Omega is a guide on how not to write.
>>289113301didnt the girl with the seduction powers later confirm shen felt more like a ancient tree than a human so her powers wont work on him, i guess mother earth can just actually talk to him
>>289113273They're cool
>>289112131wait THAT'S how that iconic page ends up being used? please please PLEASE tell me this is a red herring
>>289113340GUN 13 YOU'RE TOO STRONG TO LOSE
>>289113301Sandro constantly throws out bullshit either to see what sticks or to just artificially generate hype. That's everything that page boils down to. Think of everything involving Terashi and how completely meaningless that shit ended up being the next chapter after Fei began throwing out those rumors.
>>289113370no
>>289112995you can really tell how much pornography this model was trained on
>>289113363Goddamn I just checked the previous page and I was not ready
>>289113370>wait THAT'S how that iconic page ends up being used?Yes. Everyone was as baffled by it as you are right now.
>>289113312One gave us baffling Raianwank, the other gave us Luohan shenanigans. Do the math
>>289113340The Coral Vessel...
>>289112247Welp. This is over. The jobber face.
>>289112716>"that" is tomorrow
>>289113312luohan vs shen was one of the most fun moments in the manga
Since Mukaku was part of the double headed worm, shouldn't he also have a tattoo?
>>289113076I can't even hold it against him.I wouldn't want to draw this shit any longer than I needed to.
>>289113228lel
>>289113214Oh god, how much worse can it get?
>>289112603>powerscalingThis is ridiculous
>>289112207Buddy, you chose the name. You could've picked literally anything else.>>289112247What makes him believe that this time around he'll be able to kill Shen?>>289112259Ah yes, he is flexing his nose and face muscles. The adamantine kata is truly an "unfathomable" technique.>>289112302It's a nice line, but the Niko style is still objectively the strongest style we've seen so far.>>289112337Isn't this just a self-diss? Ryuki being weak is literally hist fault.>>289112348So they just... walk away? Why? Did they suddenly grow a conscience because he's an old man? >>289112419>>289112441Insane hex.>>289112517Wow, so his plan is wearing metal gauntlets. Why not just fucking bury a bomb and detonate it under him?
>>289113587How many times do we have to tell you that when we say it gets worse, we REALLY mean it?
>>289113524He was recruited from the non worms and since the double worm is not part of the worm they didn't get tattoos beside their leader who was presumably previously part of the worm. It's quite possible that the whole "this branch of the worm that works for the worm and has a worm insignia is not actually part of the worm" bullshit exists just to explain why he doesn't have a tattoo.
>>289113516Some of "my" best shitposting "memories" are from last summer
>>289112131GET SUBVERTED
>>289113370Anon... I'm sorry...
>>289113608>Why not just fucking bury a bomb and detonate it under him?last time someone tried that on one of his past incarnations he just Principles that
>>289113628Wait this was a year ago?
>>289113124>>289112517What the fuck are these gauntlets called. They're the coolest type of fist fighter gauntlets I've seen but I've only seen them in like maybe three pieces of media, everything else are MMA gloves and Hulk Hands
>>289113210THAT'S NOT AN EXPLANATION
>>289113646Wuxia AU Tiger Koga...
>>289112547I will not be surprised at all if it turns out that Shen's powers are genuinely just some sort of druid style mystical bullshit. >>289112603He's really hitting all of the jobber flags. >>289112614>walks away mid-hexWhat an "unfathomable" technique. But sadly Shen's hexing is a long-rage attack. >>289112556How the fuck did he dodge the iron pellets here anyway? He didn't even dodge or anything. Did he activate his intangibility cheat?>>289112695Oh and he has telepathy as well.>>289112703At this point, if the manga doesn't go full supernatural, I really don't know where it's supposed to go.
>>289112131>>289113646
>>289112832He considered the others worthless because they weren't good enough to be one of the seven, so he figured he might as well try to squeeze something out of them
>>289113652>last time someone tried that on one of his past incarnations he just Principles thatPresumably it's an offscreen haki technique, because you really cannot justify dodging point blank explosions with any amount of bullshido.
>>289112793More like Omega is a different story every week
>>289112283The 1300 year old tablecloth. The 1300 year old white circular porcelain plates. The 1300 year old wine glass. The 1300 year old bundle of power and data conducting cables in the top right.
>>289113233"he is just like the connector" has unironically mindbroken me more than "literally kuroki"
I really fucking hate how Sando just REFUSES to let his villains look good for any amount of time. Any villain with even a tiny bit of aura will immediately get turned into a joke. My expectations were truly "subverted" by Mukaku's personality, but not in a good way. Sometimes, playing shit straight and writing a 100 year old man doing his best in a last stand against an unbeatable force is the better option.
>>289112259bros, how do I grow muscles in my nose?(I need it before I learn to harden them)
>>289113646is koga related to this guy?
>>289113816Like this is not the same person.
>>289113807The 1300 year old Western style hoodies, jackets and suits with ties
>>289112302>the Niko style turned out to be a shamIs this a win or a loss for Waka?
Why didn't he just do this? Is he retarded?
>>289113900Loss because he got mindbroken by a fake martial art
>>289112131It's that one spread!
>>289113911>>289113652
>>289112995>that bulgeD-Daro?
>>289113706Just refer to when he used it in actual combat and you'll understand how it works. >>289112176
>>289112150Oh fuck off
how long until "that" page
>>289112105>we were too strong>we were doing too well>>289112131For a mystery box lover he sure wasted the biggest one in the stupidest way possible
>>289113146>implying Sandro isn't using Chatgpt to write the script
>>289112236Shut up "Icy Emperor"
>>289113706It's just martial arts wuxia magic.
>>289112247Le funni face:DDDD
>>289112247And what would he do if Ryuki get captured and nobody bother coming for the old fuck in the Inside?
>>289113706>He doesn't "get" Principlesngmi
>>289114043Next chapter.
>>289114092>getting thousands of years of memories huisheng'd into your brain from early childhood onwards makes you schizophrenic and hear the earth's voiceMakes sense, to be honest.
>>289112648very rare instance of shen showing emotions
>>289112348I do feel bad for Ryuki.
>>289112131I fucking hate that the intro splash got reduced to this minutia.
>>289112695An extreme case of Kengan telepathyUsually it stays within the fighters' thoughts, or CEOs that are in opposite sides of an arena
>>289114198Someone must have questioned Sandro about that after Koga vs. Ryuki since that was probably the most expected thing it'd be?And so he threw it in here to wrap it up.
>>289114215I'm headcanoning it as something that he gets "accused" of often and he'd be well aware of what Superman Syndrome is considering Xia.>M-MASAKA?! SUPERMAN SYNDROME?!?!?!>Nah, just principles dude. Just hold down the point of power here and there you go
>>289113755The guy on the right looks like he's a bandit straight out of Hokuto no Ken
>>289113124I'm glad they didn't give him the helmet
>>289112832These are the failures. He had his 7 successes and wanted an 8th out of all the losers.
>>289113728The only "Tiger's Vessel" we need...
>>289112703>holding down the point of the forceYou're not holding down anything, you're barely even pinching it.
>>289112839Ryuki is younger and healthier than Ohma.
>>289112603Please drop the knife.
>>289112614Is this where hexing comes from?
>>289112703So that's where it's from.
>>289112348Ryuki genuinely does have it really rough. I'd like to say he loses any and all drive to make his own decisions after this arc, he just stops being anything but Koga's +1. His mental issues (+ the one's that obviously would've arose from going through this) don't ever really get addressed/handled in any meaningful way. He basically shuts down entirely and lets everyone decide for him, and it's legit very sad to read it that way when I KNOW it's really just Sandro hand-waving it as fine because he doesn't wanna give him focus like that, but it's hard not to look at his situation and not take that away from it.
>>289112259By The Way!!!
>>289113943If you're still questioning this you need to reread Asura. He was drawing muscled twinks in skintight spandex left and right and meanwhile had apparently never drawn large breasts before. You will not convince me he wasn't drawing gay porn commissions to scrape by at some point.
>>289112509>>289112517Since this’s the same as a knife in spirit. Should we add it to knife count?>>289112589Wait nvm it actually just a knife.
>>289114050Have faith, that page will actually make a comeback at the end when the match is repeated and Shen's opponent purposefully wears the same outfit for style.
>>289112634Himuro was there to counterspell the Dimensional Anchor that Mukaku cast on the bone zone so that the MC's teleportation spells could work
>>289114352If they were already losers why is he sad they all died?
Wait, the artist actually use AI to help with some of his art?
>>289113370I'll leave it open to interpretation.
>>289114632He openly admits he uses ai to cut as many corners as possible
>>289112131They had data cables 1300 years ago?Damn, middle ages was nuts
>>289112323Dumbbells already established high level Sandroverse characters can time travel
>>289113221The Last Jedi is almost as bad
>>289114557>Scrape byLet's not make it sound he's being "forced" to do this.
>>289114681I meant before he landed a proper job.
>>289112207>I GAVE MYSELF A SHITTY NICKNAME>I SPECIFICALLY GAVE MYSELF A HUMILIATING NICKNAME AFTER BEING HUMILIATED INSTEAD OF A NORMAL JAPANESE ONE>THIS IS SOMEHOW SHEN'S FAULTI think Shen hit Mukaku a little too hard and gave him early onset dementia
>>289114672Shut the fuck up about your /tv/ shit please. We're tired of hearing you whine about it.
>>289112276The Anti-Indestructible Dempsey Roll!
>>289112207>The Prostate KingPowerful
>>289112981>>289112981>all Mukaku is doing here is giving himself brain damage>giving himself brain damage>brain damageThis post is gonna be extra funny tomorrow
>>289112276Oh shit Koga's manifesting the "hexagons" both their faces, this must be some kind of forbidden Niko mutual kill kata
>>289114622He's not 'sad', he's disappointed.
>>289113879
>>289112302What is with the villains in this series and being utter geniuses. Mukaku came up with the strongest martial art in the setting on a whim. Tiger Niko trains GOAT prodigies back to back to back without a sweat. These retards could rule the world if they didn't like dining in the dumpsters.
>>289114816they're more like idiot savants than geniuses
>>289112547Could "(you)" have taken Shen?
>>289112716I'm not ready to go through it again lads
>>289112703Toriyama-esque face on Mukaku here

>>289112614If keng/a/n ever meets up IRL in an anime con or some shit and someone suggests forming a fight club, I'm running away from the first anon to compliment my moves.

>>289112131ah this shit happend in this arc right, ahm fuck sandro and his retarded ancient electric lights and suits
>>289114904Why don't "we" do this? I'm completely up for someone organizing this kind of thing. Provided they aren't thousands of miles away.
>>289112471ah and this is when his twinkification trully happend
>>289112948Immediately deploy my backup compliment hexes>Principles you say, those really are unfathomable to me>You're awesome Shen>This is one of top 5 spears and yet it's snapping so easily
>>289112509>>289112517but even if the gaoh style is fake didn't he make the fucking magic niko style? Is the niko style also a fraud martial art?
>>289112517I really do like Mukaku despite how retarded all the plot attached to him is.
>>289114800Not>MukekuC'mon
>>289112603oh no he is a member of the cp9 and can use the finger pistol
>>289114904FoolishnessI will be hexing myself to utmost degree to prove how much higher my strength is than yours and avoid becoming too strong to win
>>289113340https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03fh37CMd-MThe wall was too high, that's why I scaled it.
>>289114982I'm afraid that won't work. Shen is "too strong" to be compliment hexed.Let me explain. As a master of Principles and just about everything else too, his compliment hexes become way stronger, as his point of comparison is "the apex."You literally can't beat him in this game.

>>289114800>the prostate king
>>289112337>>289112348I actually kinda like this moment because it reads to me like the old asshole had actually grown to care about Ryuki in his own way, and this is his way of cutting their ties cleanly before he goes on his suicide mission of trying to kill the Connector.
>>289112494>the Huisheng included the faces of mooks that got obliterated by the previous ConnectorDamn, they must have one hell of a motor mouth to get those kinds of details done before dying of old age.>>289112547It would be funny if they just said fuck it and made it explicit that Shen really is supernatural.
>>289114632AI is the main artist, Daro is an assistant
Hassad soon.
>>289114632We're not joking here bro, Daro uses AI and he doesn't hide it, he talks about it quite often.
>>289115514That's how I want to read it too, but it's difficult sometimes with how Sandro writes. The benefit of the doubt is reserved for non-retards, you know?
>>289113273Isopods are strong.
>>289115033>WHAT A SHITLOAD OF FUCK
>>289112483
>>289115768Ah yes, When Solong. Short for When "does this manga end, it's been going on for" Solong.
>>289112614>I haven't finished complimenting you yet.Holy shit, I actually busted out laughing. HE'S TOO DANGEROUS TO BE KEPT ALIVE
>>289115735I think it can be a bit of both. I can totally see Sandro having envisioned this as a detail to their relationship at some point and I can just as easily see him just not building anything around that, leaving it as this weird, almost disjointed emotional moment. As much as he's thoroughly checked out at this point and as much as a lot of the broader flaws with his writing have been apparent since early Ashura, I don't think he's an entirely incompetent writer, merely one seemingly chronically incapable of learning and developing as an artist.
>>289112247RAWR I'M CUHRAZEEE XD
>>289115514In any other manga I would be absolutely certain this was the intended takeaway. It is, specifically, because this is the manga written by Sandrobitch where he went out of his way to give Fei a flashback for shitting on the concept of friendship and every villain is a CUHRAHZEE HAHA LOONEY LOO (except Naidan) that either devolves into shitbull behaviour or that the narrative roots against even when they're broken and pleading for mercy on the ground, that I'm hedging my bets on whether or not Sandro meant something more unhinged.For all we know in Sandro's mind Mukaku HATED Ryuki EVEN MORE than he let on and he only let him live because he wanted to PROLONG his suffering, and we missed an entire scene of Mukaku beating Ryuki with the orphan bones while sticking out his tongue and yelling about how he GOT IT ALL WRONG

>>289114075He isn't. You underestimate AI writing. What Sandro gives is way worse.
>>289113069>>289113135>>289115805>>289115979I enjoyed that one crazy shitpost theory about Shen being a Keng/a/n poster who found himself trapped inside Omega and is trying to get home while avoiding being given the Sandro classic humiliation ritual for villains.How else would you explain such a masterful hexing technique other than a poster who has survived the Gu Ritual that are Keng/a/n threads?
>>289112356I mean, normally in a Gu ritual, there's one survivor, but he fucked it up and accidentally killed all of them.I assume at least.
>>289114800>ahh
>>289112302Is this just Sandro talking to the audience?
>>289116004One of the hallmarks of AI writing is that it has no foresight and can't keep a coherent narrative together. Obviously you could say that about any manga, but...
>>289116046The fun thing about a Gu ritual is that you don't know if it worked well or fucked up until you figure out if you've ended up with an Agito or HimuroUnless one guy escapes early, like Xia Ji
>>289116054He's gonna be doing even more of that from now on
>>289114718>welol
>>289115196this panel looked retarded even in the drafts but daro at least had the decency to make shen emote
>>289115196The expression is so much better here, what is wrong with Sandro? Must Shen always have the same damn disinterested face?
>>289115093Today is worse than yesterday, but at least it's better than tomorrow.
>>289116155>Must Shen always have the same damn disinterested face?
>>289112165>glasslasses were already present and widely used in China 80 years ago (in the 1940s). In fact, China's history with eyewear and optical lenses is remarkably long, dating back centuries before they were ever commonplace in the West. Eyewear in China has a rich history that has evolved over hundreds of years.
>>289116022Even though it's a fairly recent post, it immediately established itself as an all-time schizo classic from the Keng/a/n community
>>289112150>Haha I retcon shit again but there's an in-universe explanation. I totally planned everythingShut up Sandro. Why would a random powerup need a cover-up story? No other technique needed one. This shit just makes thing more complicated for no reason>Kure clan: What do you mean there's some literally who called Niko style declaring rivalry with us. Fuck them they're dead meat
>>289115440A "sword" is just a "bigger" knife.
>>289112471Shen has such a lame design for a final boss.
>>289116055Modern AI has more foresight than Sandro does.
>>289116133We are all "me" here.
>>289116425This is Daro's fault this time
>>289113608>What makes him believe that this time around he'll be able to kill Shen?
>>289116366This got me thinking.If you woke up the next morning, and found yourself either in Fei, Edward, or Xia's body at the moment of the 'Evil is on the Move' page, what actions would you do to avoid your future humiliation ritual fate?Let's say you forget the exact plot beats of what happens, but you generally remember what awaits a Sandro villain and also the Sandro meta hexing principles behind the world.
>>289116425Lean guy with kinda the same build as the main characters but taller and slimmer works well in theory, better than a huge muscle mountain and it fits Shen's principles bullshit of hax over raw strength, the problem is that besides the very first time he shows up he's constantly drawn like your lame uncle who's trying to pick up jogging. It leans too far into him being relaxed during fights. Honestly if you had him take off his top here and actually show his build underneath it would go a long way.
>>289114848What's the difference?
>>289116538I would stop being a villain, obviously!
>>289112319I feel bad for Ryuki...
>>289116538Eddie is pretty easymode as you just go in alone and hex Raian/Erioh to death while dropping the Wu Hei shit. Chungus it up with Toyoda as a precautionary measure. Xia is fucked though, built for ryona.
>>289115514>>289115735>>289115864>>289115901Mukaku Gaiden has Ryuki with him, so who knows?
>>289116538Get myself cloned, impart the required memories on the clone so they can replace me, then book it while vagueposting from the shadows about how it's all "part of the plan". If I'm lucky I will be kept alive by my existence as a "mystery box" long enough for Sandro to forget or lose interest and I'll manage to "slip" alive through the cracks in the narrative. It all depends on the "timing" with which I do this of course. If I can execute my plan as close as possible to the "tragedy" then I will be able to "disappear" during the timeskip while my fate is "left up to interpretation".
>>289116682Xia (anon) could try to be a good brother to Yan. This way he and Shen would always be close.
>>289115514Yes. Mukaku is intentionally chasing the party away so he can 1 v 1 Shen without anyone getting in the way.
>>289116561a genius wouldn't waste all his genius students to find out that if you overclock your body too hard you die
>>289116538>FeiImmediate declare my undying friendship to the other Purg bros (while telling Tiger Niko it's just part of my infiltration plan) before my match and only fight Waka with yoga. Accept defeat gracefully to win the moral victory by not even to use the N*ko Style for going a few rounds.>EdwardI'd ENTER the tournament myself instead of Alan, stomp Raian, and order the other "me"s to search for Kure assassins while Erioh can't kill me in a public venue. Prior to that I'd tell Gilbert about the funny irregularly weighted Principles Kure sword in the death mountains and tell him to go steal it so we can learn that shit, and also remind Howard not to piss off the zoomzooms and annihilate like half the clan in a civil war over literally nothing.Also prior to Purg I'd ask Shen (as a drinking buddy) to bomb Italy twice lest the powerful Sicilian mafia make a comeback, we can leave the Glaswegians for Luohan to deal with>JiLeave Japan, reinvent myself as a pro athlete in Belgium or somewhere else faraway. Hope to make some decent money before Yan inevitably tracks down and kills me.
>>289115937Meant for >>289112207>>289115973"I", Anon, am still "green". "You", on the other hand, are unfathomable, a monster in human form...
>>289116776>while telling Tiger Niko it's just part of my infiltration planTiger Niko seemed fine with Fei staying there with his friends
>>289116682I think with a strong enough hex game, you'd be able to avoid dying to the Kure gank, but no compliment hex is strong enough to actually kill off Raian.>>289116740Very nice, the 'Masaki Gambit', but it would all be over once the other 'world' reaches that moment in their storytime and reminds Sandro of your existence.
>>289116814I was under the impression Fei was kinda playing the cocky, irreverent type while with Purg but who even knows? I'd have thought Lu Tian was a standoffish type too but apparently he was genuinely enjoying all those holiday trips
>>289116581Shen...
>>289116826The genius of the Masaki Gambit is that if you huisheng into a pretty decent guy, you can be adopted as an honorary Kenganvenger as Hayami basically was
>>289116538Fei and Xia's fates are easily avoidable because they're generally self-inflicted and both the protagonists and the villains don't care much about them one way or the otherIf you're Eddie you're fucked because you have the responsibilities of being the head of an assassin clan, you're deeply linked with the stupid connector shit and you have to deal with Sandro's pet Raian
>>289116826For clarity, meant hexing Erioh and fucking off, but you're right. >>289116764Sorry, but there is no chance of outdoing 20 years of that in 1-2 years.
>>289116682>Xia is fucked though, built for ryona.I'm still 100% convinced Xia Ji being a weakling was one of those late changes Sandro does all the time.Asura's Xia Ji was depicted as terrifying. He was able to stealthily sneak into a heavily guarded prison on the island and kill that Niko style jobber without anyone noticing. There was no indication whatsoever that Xia Ji was someone Eddie/Fei didn't take seriously. This scene suggested they were all equals in respectability.
>>289116826Just create enough of a clone buffer. The "temptation" to reveal each new "me" was merely one more "copy" of the original who is still "on the move" will prove too strong for Sandro to resist.
>>289114867>twittercucks>redditcucks>4chanbullsIt is all so fucked up. Why are all of "them" so unable to either enjoy "thing" or leave "thing" behind quietly?
>>289116876>Sorry, but there is no chance of outdoing 20 years of that in 1-2 years.In that case just lock the fuck in and live and breathe martial arts for 2 years instead of slacking of and letting minions do things.
>>289116895You run the risk of your 'clone' turning into a Gilbert situation though.>>289116776>>289116870Edward's situation feels the hardest to reverse and escape. I feel like your best bet would be to hardcore chungus buddy up to Toyoda, and maybe when you get ganked by the Kure squad to bullshit something about that random Kure guy actually being alive and being taken care of in Western Wu headquarters as some master secret plot and hope that you can meta principle the narrative into reviving him.
>>289116891In the hands of a better writer, I could see why combat specialists like Fei and Eddie would think less of someone who focuses on stealth and throwing goons at people. You can always have them rein it in for professional reasons or because they still need his contributions, but the personal animosity could still be there. Unfortunately, we can't a basic level of dynamics like that anymore.
>>289116876>Sorry, but there is no chance of outdoing 20 years of that in 1-2 yearsThe manga doesn't remember what happened 20 pages ago, let alone 20 years. Just start gaslighting the fuck out of people and pray.
>>289113730>How the fuck did he dodge the iron pellets here anyway? He didn't even dodge or anything.The draft for that page has motion lines similar to the ones used for Formless >>289115216
>>289116987Glass houses "me". Do you know where "we" are? Also paying attention to gachacucks is deserving of even bigger humiliation than what befell Xia
>>289117109I don't even play FGO, I just think everyone in that image is nonsensical, including the ones not in that image if what was said there is true.
>>289116876>>289117024You just need to hardcore gaslight the other characters and the narrative into believing that acted that way because you cared for your brother and wanted him to succeed. That will allow you to flow from 'villain' to 'misunderstood good guy'.Doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is how well you utilize the meta principles of Kengan to your benefit.
>>289112603SHIGAN
>>289113068Think of it as a sleeper cell unit ordered to go independent so they can achieved the overall goal without red tape authorization.
I wonder what Edward and Gil's relationship was likeOr how do the Shens treat each other in the period where the previous and the new generation overlap, assuming the old one doesn't just commit suicide as soon as the huisheng is complete
>>289116864You made me realize that you could argue that current Shen is the result of him utilizing the Masaki Gambit.What an incredibly powerful and high level meta technique.
>>289117245The way huisheng is supposed to work you'd assume the moment a new Connector is chosen the previous one starts doing it 24/7 until he dies with how much information he needs to communicate.
>>289112207Did Shen force him to change his name to Prostate King, or did he do that on his own and blame Shen for some reason?
>>289117285This is an attempt by Mukaku to meta hex Shen by implying that he forced him to change his name, but he didn't understand that the hexes have to be compliments to weaken the target.In general, Mukaku seems to have a weak understanding of the hex meta, seeing as how confused he was at Shen's opening compliment curse attack.
>>289117285Wasn't the whole "he's a worm" backstory twist based on the idea that he kept it the same character which has a different meaning and pronunciation when going from China to Japan?
>>289112471Here we go, time for peak retardation>>289112540this chapter was hilarious, cause comikey was down for over an hour right as the chapter unlocked. I was one of the few who got in in time so i was screenshotting pages for my discord server
Guys, my brain is starting to melt. When Mukaku said he was born on the inside that was him lying to try to hide the fact that he came over from the notworm, right?
>>289114867Fujimaru aka (You) took down ORT I say yes
>>289112703At this point, it's just like wuxia shit in that the chi, or qiqong, or whatever does all the work rather than the body itself.
>>289117493Maybe the old man spent the last five chapters talking himself and all his work down in an attempt to become "too weak to lose".
>>289114959There is literally an anon obsessed with maiming people here
>>289116425Shen used to look awesome, and weirdly enough he resembled the giga Worm we see here >>289112131 but I guess that's just more stuff Sandro changed his mind about.
>>289112131Easily one of the most purely aggravating pages in this shit. Just complete and utter disdain for your audience.
>>289117531Too bad Ohma hexed him at the last second, otherwise he might've actually won with the first gambit. All his scrambling right now must be a desperate attempt to put the plan back on its rails.
>>289112589Knife count: 85Knife users winning count: 11
>>289112131Is that it? The last untainted page in Kengan pre 50 up until this point? Is there anything left that Sandro didn't make worse in some way?
>>289112614>>289112695I know him being an /a/ poster is obviously a meme, but Shen knowing he's in a story seems shockingly plausible.
>>289113124Worm power armor Mukaku would have won btw.
>>289117586Wulong Vs. Luohan gave me the impression he still has muscles underneath his clothes
>>289112530Imagine licking Jurota's veins
>>289117631The yuribait in Ashura?
>>289117708I don't remember Ashura having yurubait
>>289112143This is an important page to remember in the future for when Sandro allows Shen to sidestep all moral culpability for the shit the Worm/Wu do because they're totally just his chungus friends who like doing things for him without him asking, when he literally conquered them both in the past and that's why they serve him.
>>289117730My pre-initiative cope is that Mukaku has a bias against Shen, maybe Shen just beat the head worm and that gen's Wu Hei whom he's long time friend with and taught Huisheng to in 1vs1, had a "party" and teamed up.
>>289112695>>289114215>>289114271>>289117651The funniest thing about this page to me is that it looks like Shen literally notices Mukaku's thoughts on the last panel with those four lines by his head.
>>289112247AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>289112786>>289113117>>289113214>>289113489>>289114871>>289115046>>289115093It's not that bad.
>>289112247This plan is retarded.
>>289112131Man fuck you sandro
>>289112337Trains him for 20 years to be bait for the most retarded plan possible.Tiger Niko trained his students for decades only to teach them suicide techniques as a joke.
>>289116366I'm also a fan of the similar post that predates this that posits that Luohan is also a reincarnated shitposter, except that while ShenAnon has dedicated himself to exploiting the cliches and Sandroisms, LuohanAnon just wants to see everything burn and does everything in his power to taunt Sandro as if daring him to smite him down.
>>289112406The inside turned out to be really nice.
>>289112219>1?1!
My takeaway from all of this is that villains in Kengan Omega should just try saying ANULO MUFA instead of stacking hexes
>>289117083I'd still go with the idea of Hayami pushing Eddie as his rep for KvP. Hayami's whole shtick is a being a #2 shitter copycat of Metsudo, why not have him use the Wu like Metsudo uses the Kure. He already thinks it was Erioh holding him back from a successful coup and not a laundry list of other fuck ups that accordKazuo takes Hayami's offer, Erioh bitches about it but gets told to shut up because as far as he should care this has nothing to do with their feud and Kengan's in a tight bind as it is. Cue Eddie and Raian banter, Eddie's more mature about it and Raian's basically a chained dog barking at someone just a few inches away from how far the chain'll let Raian goEddie wins his match pretty easily, he gets fed some literally-kuroki. Raian loses to a guy he should have won against but didn't because he tried unga bungaing a techniquefag who kicked him off the stage after a couple of Raian's murder attempts
>>289114632>help>some
>>289113219That whole Jurota is obsessed with a little kid thing was truly one of the strangest plot beats imo.
>>289118017why? he just wanted to fight him
>>289112663Who the fuck set them up, this guy is an electrician, scientists and historian.WHERE DOES HE GET THE ENERGY.
>>289112695>Mukaku makes Koga look like a joke>Even Ohma is scared.>He is a joke compared to ShenWhat is this power scaling.
>>289117965Interesting idea. The benefit is that as now you're fighting on the 'Kengan' side as Eddie giving you some good guy protection by default. The demerit is that you're hitching your horse to Hayami who is also doomed via Sandro narrative, so you need to find a way to escape his narrative orbit like Masaki.
>>289112962Shut the fuck up,Medaka box is kino
>>289112703Did misasa use principles to break the rock? It's the same explanation
>>289118051Mukaku is a monster in human form, and Wulong the monster slayer
>>289118054Masaki doesn't exist here, he's throw-away-able. Omega would be Kazuo trying to balance defeating the Worms while still having to play politics with their plants and allies like Hayami who's still too ambitious for his own goodThe Kure would blame Kengan for Erioh jobbing to death even though both Nogi and Kazuo told him to stay away from Eddie who already knew the Kure wanted him dead, then the Kure would try and bow out away from Kengan leaving the Association somewhat defenseless
>>289116538Edward isekai seems doable. I tell Alan to fuck off and go eat some snails and enter the tournament myself. When I fight Raian, drop the Wu Hei larp and I beat him up but make sure to verbally jerk him off the entire match and tell him how he reminds me of THE KURE ERIOH THE MIGHTY DEMON and his unfathomable power, and spin my seething Italy flashback into not being spiteful towards Erioh, but being INSPIRED by him, and that I am this strong because of how humbled and grateful I was, attempting to become like him.I make sure Raian is hospitalized so he can't join the hallway gank, and beat up the fodder there when they try to jump me. I bombard Erioh with compliment hexes about how inspirational he is for still being so strong at his age, then one tap the others and leave them alive while I walk off, mumbling about food and how I "have high hopes for next time".Post timeskip is all about permanently attaching myself to Shen's side as one of his wholesome buddies like Yan, asking to hang out with him and Joji both too, and benefiting from his chungusification aura that's been making Yan more moe and less evil by the chapter to give myself the highest odds possible of being allowed to live through the end of the series.

>>289118220What is Omega even about thematically
>>289112312>>289112319>>289112337>>289112348>>289112406>>289114542It really sucks how this is really good setup for Ryuki development, both as a person and a fighter, and then it just never goes anywhere like the other anon said. He never really does anything with the Gaoh Style to fix its flaws, he just picks up Long Clan stuff to add into his moves. He has nothing unique to him now. Koga knows those too and also knows and seems to use the Gaoh Style better than him too.Ryuki was already a vestigial character after Zombie Ohma returned, but this the death of the last remnants of him as a character basically.The order Sandro chose to do these arcs in and the proximity doesn't help either. We go from "Ryuki is the corrupted friend/rival who needs sanity beaten back into him" straight into "Ryuki is the arc damsel in distress to save", and it just strips him of the last of his agency and he never really recovers.
>>289118382Why are you reading a sequel for a manga you haven't read yet
>>289117898It's honestly a much more entertaining way to read the manga.>>289118137Impressive. You seem to have found a "path" to "survival".
If Mukaku wants revenge so bad why doesn't he just blow himself up
>>289118542Suicide is wrong.
>>289112357>>289112379>what he hadn't accounted for what the Kengan Association banning killing>that made Ryuki start to have doubts about killingNo??????????? That isn't remotely what happened????????KOGA was the reason he had doubts about killing. When he learned about the no killing rule, he just went "Oh okay, that's the rule so I guess I gotta follow it :)))" like he was learning about a new traffic law, not any kind of actual moral conflict. He was going to break the rules and attempt to kill Akoya regardless, until KOGA popped into his head. I still have no fucking clue what Sandro meant by this years later, if he genuinely just forgot his own story, or if this is some sort of bizarre attempt at making Nogi look relevant/competent.
>>289118488>>289118516"I" was putting the daily Asura that anon was dumping before "on and off" but "I" missed some chapters and when "I" looked after "he" was already "dumping" Omega.
>>289118382Imagine tricking people into reading all of Omega first, then selling Asura to them as a prequel. One could call it a "gu ritual" of sorts.
>>289115521>Damn, they must have one hell of a motor mouth to get those kinds of details done before dying of old ageIt gets worse.>It would be funny if they just said fuck it and made it explicit that Shen really is supernatural.It GENUINELY would make the story make more sense if Sandro just made Shen a supernatural bodyhopping spirit.
>>289112286Koga looks skinny as hell in that panel. Somebody get this man his fucking scoops
>>289112556>>289113730>>289115216>>289117091I'd never seen the draft for this chapter before. Why the fuck did they remove the motion lines? That at least suggests he dodged it, instead of just standing still and them all happening to miss him like it looks in the final version.
>>289117730>>289117788Given that huisheng is imperfect, even Shen's, you could I think make a compelling argument about how much more responsibility Shen holds for the actions of the schizo that brainwashed the schizo that brainwashed the schizo that etc etc down to the schizo that brainwashed him.It's the same as Mukaku trying to take revenge not on the guy who killed his clan, but on the guy who got brainwashed by the guy who got brainwashed by the guy who killed his clan.Not that I think Sandro would think to make that connection and argument though.
>>289118284I miss him
>>289118222
>>289117730Sandro didn't think any of this through. To this day, we still don't even have a clear answer as to what the Worm's goals are.
>>289118920>Sixit's the aberrant shota now
>>289112509the fuck's with the top panel, those dont look like closed eyelids or dramatic shading. he's wearing sunglasses
>>289118950He is actually a fly-man
I'd forgotten how "the barbecued one" was already at it way back during this time(and even further).
>>289118767If you want to see another minor difference, compare the way Shen is holding the tip in the bottom left panel of >>289112703 and >>289115415
>>289114632
>>289119057An unfathomable fusion of Naidan and Jurota
>>289112379>>289118562
>>289119102Nogi was always there by Ryuki's side, I remember this scene fondly
>>289112207
>>289112716This is a good expression from Shen. Overall, despite the bullshit in it and that's upcoming, I do kinda like Shen a bit in this chapter. He doesn't feel air-headed like he does further down the line more so lackadaisical? I can't really put my thoughts into words adequately. I just think it actually does an alright job in conveying his more muted, casual air. Like, you can tell his mind isn't /fully/ on the fight despite him being able to detail and figure out Mukaku up until he stops the spear, then he comes to his own conclusion that pleases him and makes him focus in just a little bit.
>>289112247>I sent Ryuki to a place where I can't protect him, waited until he came back to me and lure the Worm to me>But what if the Worms weren't utterly retarded and they sent someone strong to kidnap him before he came back?>...This plan is so fucking stupid
>>289119259>what if the Worms weren't utterly retardedCan you repeat it again?
>>289119254Yeah, the whole point of a villain who's so seemingly chill and lackadaisical SHOULD be that both readers and characters get lured into a false sense of security around him, only for him to eventually do fucked up things with that same sense of relaxation. Scenes like him drinking with the cast should have the background thought of "he's so chill right now, but if he randomly decides someone offended him, then they're dead and nobody can do anything about it".An approach like that would actually feel threatening, as well as make the whole narrative of the Worm supposedly existing to keep Shen happy so he doesn't go berserk and kill countless people actually make sense.
>>289119259>>289112247>Shen just goes to KvP and yoinks Ryuki while everyone is distracted Phenomenal plan Gaoh, you are truly an equal to Hayami in the "mastermind character is actually retarded" competition.
>>289119493Bigger questionWhy the fuck Sen does not Yonk Ryuki DURING Berserk Bowl
>>289117285His surname is just a Japanese reading of WowangI guess Mukaku wasn't feeling very creative when he moved to Japan
>>289114132Continue going senile
>>289113646Genuinely confusing to make this a no name jobber that died in a panel
>>289119256Mukaku if he Ohma
>>289119530Because Sandro hadn't come up with Shen wanting to yoink Ryuki yet. And that was like 15 chapters ago lmao he was really just writing it as he went along at this point. >>289113646Shen clearly had to "wish upon his fists" when he effortlessly stomped the nameless worm jobber. I remember thinking these pages were genuinely cool in the dump then seeing the wall of spoilered replies roll in and going "oh right, this manga goes to shit now doesn't it." What a shame we never got to see Ryuki fight the masked leader of the worm.
>>289119590Sandwich has a tendency to passive aggressively dismiss previous "setups" with copy pasted panels and adhoc retcons This isn't the first time it has happened, and it won't be the last
I think Sandro have ADHD, and have low attentionSo he had mood swing during 4 month (15 chapter)
Next dump can't come soon enough. Finally "it" will arrive.
>>289119858I'm holding my breath for it. It's going to take a lot of anons' breaths away. Everyone's going to lose their minds.
>>289119873We'll just have to enjoy the "moment".
>>289118220It's hard to believe that at one point he could make you feel like this. I try not to think about it. The less you associate the two, the better.
Just caught up on Needy Girl Overdose's finale. One of "us" there said "I" would find a lot of parallels to Omega and then didn't elaborate."He" was right, the show somehow has Omega's themes of identity disassociation and ambition/legacy/escapism vs self-actualisation but they're actually used for shit instead of handwaved by Sandro's ADHD.
>>289119693There were so many ways you could have played this scene's payoff. I even saw people theorize once that the cloaked guy was KOGA actually, because his hair is black and he just dyes it usually, while the masked guy was Ryuki after Shen successfully caught him and transferred into him, and it was Koga fighting to free Ryuki from the control as a subversion of the usual Koga vs Ryuki assumption.ANYTHING would have been better, fuck.
>>289112716I cant believeI'm going to experience THAT again tomorrow
>>289112131Man, what a wasted potential.
>>289119011This is so funny.
>>289112614>hey, I haven't finished complimenting you yetI cackled like a retard, my ma checked if I'm alright.
>>289112716I stopped reading Omega originally around chapter 80-ish but I would check in on dump threads every now and then to see what was going on. I managed to catch what we're getting tomorrow live by complete accident and it was one of the funniest moments ever in recent memory
>>289118382You are literally missing on the monkey writing shakespeare manga.
>>289112703>>289112962Kek, my first thought is some Dao bullshit.
>>289116538Edward is actually the easiest one.Fucking kill them. Immediately. Don't rave about a party and keep leaving them alive 5 times in a row.Sure, you may die eventually, probably to Ohma or something, but at least the Kure scum is dead.
Oh god. I just looked ahead. We have Ohma bullying Kiozan for like 3 full chapters.
>>289117965Raian should go first here, and lose partially because he's unging his bunga, but also partially for being distracted by Eddie. Not Eddie doing anything, just him being there.After that Eddie gets to fight someone stronger than whoever Raian lost to.There you go, you see Eddie do his thing, Raian is seething to personally kill him, the stage is set for the future.
>>289120634He TANKED that, btw
>>289112131This is the most clean confirmation that Sandro completely pivoted his story at some point
>>289114050That's part of being a mystery box lover
>>289112131Between Wu Hei (remember him?) and Shen, Sandro sure likes his ancient powerful entities
>>289113177>>289115307Mongolians are...unfathomable
>>289112207>I TURNED MYSELF INTO THE PROSTRATE KING OHMA! I'M GAOH RIIIIIICK!!!
>>289113608>What makes him believe that this time around he'll be able to kill Shen?Dementia

>>289116538>Fei Sex with Xia Ji>EdwardSex with Xia Ji>Xia JiDon't monologue and immediately snap Kazuo's neck. Probably start actually training and learn the art of the compliment hex
>>289112517/fit/pilled
>>289116870Eddie was the that established the worm connection though, notably his brother was more moderate than him and presumably if Eddie ruled like him, or hell if he straight up joined the other side, he'd be fine
>>289112614I'm losing my fucking mind
>>289112703In my headcanon Shen actually has superman syndrome, a far stronger version than Waka's, and just pretends like it's some principles shit
Mr Penis
>>289120901>at some pointMore like every week
>>289112703How are principles and technique different in this context?
>>289112962It's a stretch but Huisheng could be considered a form of cultivation.
>>289121299"Techniques" are methods like chanting "you were awesome", "you were too strong", "I am still green", and so on and so forth, to achieve a "tactical" victory in "this battle". "Principles" are manipulating the very "narrative" and your "place" in the "world" to passively "moderate" your "level" and place yourself in an "unassailable" position.
>>289112962You shut your whore mouth!My HERO Kumagawa saved Medaka Box!
>>289118284i hope he comes back to kick everyone's asses just to walk awayif complimenting a character reduces the power level powerlevel, then Xia Ji should be a living god right now.
