>>289166410I have mastered the timing.
>>289166428I'll have to be more unpredictable, then.
>>289166447You are already in my spider's web and your dumb will be halfway done after I have made a delicious tuna sandwitch.
>>289166426its clear sandro still wanted shen to be a villian that's completely forgotten the value of human life because of the focus on mukaku's mutilation
>>289166410>Is It Over?Even the chapter titles don't wanna be here.
>>289166426Wait, Niko is alive? I just finished Asura. Fuck me.
>>289166507That's a really off model Tiger Niko
Chapter 220: Mahaparinirvana Palm
>>289166635>Another timeskip
>>289166625EL HERMANO
>>289166549Yeah the inside is such a brutal place that they managed to make it out seemingly unmolested, without a guide, by walking, while obviously holding an injured manTotal kill or be killed law of the Jungle shit going on there
>>289166625The mustachioed man?!
>>289166625ENTER
>>289166447That's a panel where Shen says he limited himself only for the fight, meaning he stopped doing it.Also nice of him to turn off the traps so his friends who need to breath aren't dying.
>>289166625That FUCKING rat bastard
>>289166635SEX WITH SAYAKA
>>289166477>he just looks like an ordinary middle-aged manyeah, remember when he was really muscular in his introduction? I guess the ai model doesn't
>>289166491God, Gilbert got NO sauce whatsoever
>>289166625THE FUCKING GUY!!! THE HEINOUS BEAST!!!
>>289166625my last hope for this manga
Chapter 221: Head-On Battle
>>289166808i mean he isn't even trying just look at his retarded hoodie outfit
>>289166625KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA*faints*
>>289166549the brutal "inside"... closed off from the outside world.. unless you just walk out through the convenient exit door of course
>>289166558why is Koga so skinny suddenly? give that man some scoops!>i'm sure mr yamashita's worried about youkek, yeah, just like that time in the tunnel, right? he sure worries about dear old Koga
>>289166447>A master by your standardsIt's insane how he's just presented as being in a completely different universe.Good to know the 5 villains here, including the guy that's been a background devil before Omega even began are worthless in comparison.
>>289166605Wait, the worm held their own territory?I thought they were a secret terrorist organization.
>>289166477God Yujiro would rape Shen to death
>>289166491Maybe Willem will be better than Gilbert, who manages to have negative presence.
First night at Ohma's...
>>289166789>"That's the Mad Monk's Ultimate Weapon, his signature move, his proof he reached the Top!">it just lightly grazed Koga's armWhy are these dudes even here
DONE
>>289166576I can't tell why this specific background effect makes me angry whenever I see it.I mostly remember it from the Purgatory countdown as they wait for Lolong's unconscious body to evaporate.
>>289166693>i will stop the match immediately at the first sign of danger sure you will
>>289166860What's just getting started???
>>289166625
>>289166564>finish manga>blindly jump into the sequel 200 chapters deepUnfathomable.
>>289166426I find it really funny that going by the flashback, Tiger Niko's last words to Mukaku was 'By the next time we meet, I'll be far ahead of you', and then they presumably never cross paths for decades until the present where Tiger Niko encounters his corpse.I guess he's technically right, he's probably stronger than a corpse cut in half.
>>289166956Jesus fucking christ
>>289166919How would Wakatsuki feel if he knew he was meeting the person who killed the founder of the Niko style?
>>289166956the fucking Broly Culo meme
>>289166477
>>289166413>>289166426...Shouldn't carbon monoxide still be getting sprayed into the room? How are they alive?
>>289166966>Kazzy casually giving his best pal the fucking lvl99999999999999 cultivator for his matchIf I was the other dude, I'd just exit the building.
>>289166635phew thanks for the timeskip sandro, we almost got to see ryuki's reaction and thoughts on this extremely traumatic development
>>289166477>he's too powerful for most people to fearAre jobberdynamics just a known thing in-universe?Like do people feel how strong Shen is and know he's too strong to win?
>>289166590>Did you end up in dangerNo, it was less threatening than the average slum, actually!Except this 100 year old Niko user but he didn't really fight me.Also I probably ate human meat, it was pretty good!
>>289166549>Don't worry, I've already made all of the arrangementsOh, you scared me there for a moment Retsudo. For a second I thought things might have been INCONVENIENT but perish the thought! You are Metsudo's son!
>>289166625He's LITERALLY me.
>>289166549So much for that Inside Arc. Who knew it was so easy to transport a 90% dead man through it.
>>289166616>Oh btw the worm just jobbed all across the world completely offscreen and under our nosesI wouldn't expect anything more.
>>289166625THE PROTAGONIST
>>289166625EEEVIIIL
>>289166625What? My monitor...it's "melting"!W-Who is this man?!?
>>289167055Grand Sumo is... Strong
>>289166766It's so weird how consistently it seems these conversations only happen during filler matches like you'd think they'd have these chats in private meetings.
>>289166776>>289166789>move is the name of the chapter>it doesn't really do anythingAlrighty then.
>>289166635Waiter waiter, this time skip is far too short.
>>289167161Someone post "that" for this man.
>>289167202Yamashita Trading Co is totally unbiased, though.
>>289166693Alisa finally got her reforms through, with a sexy referee outfit she hopes to excite the fighters into going overboard.
>>289167036>He's coming up to the "wall"
>>289166935>>289166943He lost his vril
>>289167161Wakatsuki knew sub-consciously. That's why he bowed to him.
>>289166616>I felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices suddenly SSSSHHHHHHHYEEEEEEEEEEEA'd in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something unfathomable has happened.
>>289166745Kazzy is aging in reverse, he looks younger here
Even Youtubeslop is mindbreaking me with Sandro
>>289167308>>289166916>>289166709You now remember that Sandro set up a war that was about to unfold right inside of the area where the gang was casually strolling through.
>>289167228Consider this. Mukaku couldn't feel it until Shen weakened himself.Willem is unfathomable.
>>289166477Sandro had to have good giggle while writing this shit
>>289166477Willem my hero, the one guy who still has a functioning brain. Thank you for thinking what we're thinking. He's not long for this world, is he?
>>289166447Willem must be a real big deal since Gilbert is bothering to introduce him to Shen and all
>>289167632isnt he one of the guys that gets killed by raians magic sword that teaches you principles?
>>289167632How long do you think he'll have a functioning brain?Until he goes Guihun 100% and Guihuns all over himself?
>>289166956Why is he doing the Broly pose
>>289167681Where do you think Broly learned it from?Sumo is strong
>>289166586LOLAn unintentional foreshadowing of things to come
>>289166426Mukaku would tear Tiger Niko a new asshole
>>289166760Yeah, he needs time. Not time ALONE, though, but hey whatever not like anything bad happened the last time you let him keep to himself after a traumatic incident.
>>289166549That was uneventful
>>289166966Sandro finally remembered the fights aren't just for entertainment.
>>289166625"Green" readers, take note: This guy is literally the only good character left in this dogshit manga. There are people who are only sticking around just in the hopes of seeing him again. Every week there's always people (myself included) hoping that the newest chapter will feature him.
>>289166625Why do I feel absolute loathing and disgust all of a sudden?
Green hereI'm hoping cyborg fei will be real by the time i catch up since anons said it hadnt happened yet when i asked a few weeks back
>>289166625is this the guy ohma is cloned from?shen's cloning plan has an obvious flowhis other selves can develop egoswhat if they turn against him?
>>289166693Alisa sexo
>>289167814I read that as eggsThis would've been a very different story with that adjustment.
>>289166625THIS MAN IS me
>>289166760That move stealer is using Kokuro's stinger again
>>289166426>yesss please make Mukaku more patheticSandro...
>>289166707>>289166720>>289166745>>289166776>>289166789>>289166834>>289166851These are the pages fully dedicated to the fight. A total of 7 (seven) pages,The other pages in between are pages that cut away from the fight because Sandro couldn't be bothered to write Koga (the protagonist of Kengan Omega, at least allegedly and ostensibly) a full chapter's worth of a fight.He couldn't even be bothered to use this fight as a way to flesh out his new character Onoda Ikkai. Did Onoda get a flashback? Nope. Any explanation on his fight style or his motivations as a fighter? Nope. >>289166884Meanwhile, Ohma here is going to get THREE chapters dedicated to his beatdown of Kiozan. And after this, Agito is going to get FOUR chapters dedicated to his fight with Jurota.
>>289167752And still we didn't get any info on why Koga and Monk fought.
>>289166809>>289166819This is so sad to see. Old Ohma would have been thirsting for a runback against Agito after originally getting beaten down by him in the hallways of the KAT. Now he doesn't even seem to care. On a related note, you'd think that the first thing he'd do is try to get a runback against Kuroki to show how much he's grown. Nothing there either. This Ohma is a zombie. He has nothing driving him in life. No burning desires. He barely shows any emotions as well. No attitude or cheek. Nothing.
>>289167752Didn't a recent fight remember that too? I think it was the Seki vs Okubo match, but I'm not sure.
>>289167887seriously, ohma never fought agitohe never got paybackwhy is he so mellowed out by everything?that kind of character is boring if he's too exposed, but Ohma is in every chapter
>>289167164one of the best post KVP memes
>>289166426I sure hope that bottom panel won't be horribly ironic in a few chapters
>>289167887It's no big dealIt's no big deal
>>289167837Mukaku put tiger in a gu chamberhe has the right to hate himif not for the fact that Tiger did it to far more people than Mukaku ever did.
>>289166590I guess Rei got out safe
are we getting ohma vs agito?
>>289166549I don't think about it much now but this is genuinely one of the biggest bullshit moments in the whole of Omega>Deep in the most dangerous part of the inside>already hinted that a civil war is on the brink of breaking out>the most dangerous man in the world is on their tail>other worm high guards will also be after them>they just fast travel out like it's skyrim.It's genuinely bullshit. You could have milked a whole volume of the group trying to make it to the exit having to defend an injured Ryuki while both the WORM come after them and the civil war tears the inside apart and I thought that's what the whole arc was building towards but Sandro didn't give a shit.
>>289166477You could get a lot of mileage out of this
>>289166660Koga looks far too skinny for 89 kg
>>289166491What is the point of this, also jesus fucking christ Gilbert is so shit compared to Eddie, it's like Sandro is going out of his way to make sure fans don't get attached to this one.
Is Sayaka Brazilian?
>>289166625>???Mysterious fellow
>>289166549The inside feels less dangerous than central park
>>289166558Did Koga even do anything?
>>289167161>>289167422
>>289166576Ah, Ohma's three secretaries
>>289167887Cohma already didn't care about fighting Agito.
>>289167914last I remember was rihito vs mokichi was over a bottle of rare booze
>>289166693Navel make me happy:)
>>289166693FIIIIIGHTTTTTFIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTONLY ONE FIGHTER IS LEAVING THE RING IN ONE PIECE TODAY>>289166776NOT YET MONK HE GUARDED THAT YOU HAVE TO BREAK HIS RIBS>>289166766WHERE'S XIA JI? I NEED HIM HERE FOR REASONS>>289166851YESSSSS NOW KAKYOIN HIM
>>289166616The death dealers is such a shit name
>>289166625It took 219 chapters, but the protagonist of Kengan Omega finally ENTERS
>>289166693Alisa is even dressing like a gangster's girl now
Christ, I genuinely forgot about these two fights happening. I was legitimately confused for a second when other anons brought them up in the other thread.
>>289166789Remember when a fighter using their special move was actually significant?
>>289167036I WANT TO SEE PIECES OF OHMA'S NEW HEART FLYING EVERYWHERE KIOZAN, YOU CAN DO IT
>>289167202>Other guy gets guy who lost to Sekibayashi in the first round of the KATJust fucking lol
>>289168095>>289168167Unhinged Alisa always makes me chuckle.
>>289166809>>289166819>Koga fight>SORRY TIME FOR THE REAL MCkek
>>289166625That bastardly dastard!
>>289168004Nope
>>289166410>Chapter 219: Is It Over?God I fucking wish
>>289168185Yeah I like it as a meta, I don't think it was a thing before this storytime either
>>289166625"Me" the 7th from the right in the background
>>289167055Thanks OP. Remind me, what is the point of these fights again? I genuinely forgot they ever happened.
>>289168028A younger Gilbert who was a unrepentant Chuuni could've been fun actually. No idea why they slicked back his hair for a full Eddie-core aesthetic only to make him a full-sized dweeb. Would've been a decent rival for the other new-gen fighters like Koga and Ryuki.
>>289168011Sandro has the attention span of a goldfish. What you describe pretty much encapsulates his scatterbrained, almost ADHD approach to writing. By that point in the manga, he had already completely lost interest in anything related to the Inside. In fact, IIRC, we don't even see ANYTHING related to the Inside to this day. We're at chapter 360. Can't even recall a single excursion back to the Inside at all since the death of Mukaku.
>>289166625THERE GOES MY HERO
she learned
>>289167016Bottom right panel definitely looks like he's getting Broly culo'd
>>289168037Just a gyaru. Tan and blonde hair was very popular once upon a time in Japan.
>>289166625THERE HE IS!!!
>>289168230>Remind me, what is the point of these fights again?
>>289168282Somehow a more dignified end to Mukaku than what we got.
>>289166884>>289166891Exactly. Perfect timing. Why is this faggot monk fangirling like a groupie?
>>289166860Are they doing sumo rules? She calls the match the moment his knee hits the mat. Seems like he could’ve kept fighting.
>The hero group just casually walks through half the Inside and peacefully exit offscreen>while they were doing that the Worm got wiped from the face of the planet offscreenAlright then.
>>289168244well to be fair they don't have a reason to go back. It was only a plot important place because Mukaku and Ryuki were there
>>289166590>>289166625
>>289166491>"I'm certain he'll be of use to you."
>>289166549The inside is less dangerous than the front of my place holy shit
>>289166625God why do I suddenly feel FILLED with undying rageJust looking at that back pisses me off
>>289166549WHAT ABOUT THAT WAR YOU SAID WAS SECONDS AWAY FROM BREAKING OUT?????
>>289166549Straight up video game shit where you get to the end of the dungeon so they just teleport you back to the town.
>>289168555It would feel less contrived if Ohma straight up pulled out a scroll of recall
>>289166635???
>>289166426What a satisfying end to the Niko/mukaku storyline.Doesn't fight him, doesn't talk to him, doesn't see him till he's dead and basically just says that guy sucked.Really gives Niko depth.
>>289168579Don't worry about it
>>289168578We've entered wuxia territory now so you're right.
>>289168579Is she black or just a gyaru?
>>289167845>Agito is going to get FOUR chapters dedicated to his fight with Jurota.Nope, just three.>need email verification out of no where>keeps lying to me that it's an invalid captcha even though it isn'tWhat the FUCK happened
>>289168579
>>289168579Reminder that this passed through three people who all said this is fine before being published.
>>289167036>>289167055In a world where technique directly translates and negates power, shouldn't sumo be dominated by aikido masters who can just magically toss you by bumping you with their shoulder? Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong martial art, but genuinely weight class does not seem to matter in kengan.
This is the part of the manga where I draw a complete blank on the order of events happening, everything just blurs together. When is Sen vs Kaneda happening again?
>>289168664Another case of anons being "in perfect sync".
>>289168673Worse, this is the volume version, not the online chapter version. So basically, the online version had this mistake before it went to be printed as part of the full volume.Nobody sought to correct this or any other AI mistakes like this. Zero proofreading of any kind went into it.
>>289166956Kiozan Culo
>>289166860Has this guy won a single fight ever?He loses here, on the island and iirc he also loses his first match in berserker bowl.
>>289168697After the Agito versus Jurota fight, which happens after this Ohma fight.
>>289166956
>>289168408Hyoga won
>>289168735>The artist doesn't care>The writer doesn't care>The editor doesn't care>The readers don't careHow is this series allowed to run for so long again? (rhetorical question, don't answer that)
YAMASHITAKAZUO I WAS FORCED TO SHARE SCREENTIME WITH WORTHLESS EXTRAS FOR FAR TOO LONGI HUNGER FOR BLOODFEED ME A KAT R1 SHITTER THIS INSTANT OR SUFFER MY WRATHYOU WANNA FIGHT TOO?
>>289168785
>>289168793>YOU WANNA FIGHT TOO?This quote doesn't belong to Ohma anymore. That's Pete's line. >Who is PeteNot FUCKING answering
>>289166635>mic clipping through her handsHoly shit. I've seen manga artists decline over time, but I don't think I've ever seen an artist just give up to this extent before.
YOU WERE AWESOME, KIOZAN!
>>289166919Reminder that Willem came and started farting when he met Shen because he could sense his unfathomable strength but Waka didn't notice anything.Therefore Willem > Waka
>>289168830I miss the Death Note daily
>>289168816I got subverted, I expected the frenchman.
>>289168830That's nothing. This is even more egregious. Don't click if you're "green" though.
>>289168543It didn't. *raughs*
>>289168822>Who's PeteI'll leave it open to interpretation
>>289168244I might be going full schizo but I'm calling it right now that Omega is an experiment by the publisher to see if anyone would notice if an AI took over from a human writer.The goal being whether or not they could have a successful series with minimal human involvement.Daro is there as a necessity but he's more like a supervisor at this point just to fill in the gaps the AI can't draw.
>>289168579I think this is the point some people won't "oh, this is AI" and others were in denial.(remember, volume extras about him using AI didn't exist yet, so people would've assumed the weird backgrounds etc. were just edited photos)
>>289166410
>>289168830
Kengan still gets worse after this btw. The characters may be "scaling the wall" but Sandro and Daro are "descending the abyss"
>>289167887Ohma is a worm.
>>289166693>lying through her teeth so she can make sure it keeps goingDevious. Also that vaguely street punk outfit is giving corruption vibes compared to her old style. Moral degeneration arc is real.
>>289166625That fucking BASTARD
>>289166776Anyone remember when we all thought this was a setsuna chapter based off the title name and that this was going to be some new technique he made up?Crazy work there to get people to read your chapter, Sandro
>>289166935>>289166943>>289166956SUMO IS STRONG
>>289169011Anons are... remaining stable?
No matter what anybody says I still think Kiozan beating Ohma was fucking bullshit. I know people hate Ohma and will defend this but it makes absolutely no sense.
>>289168579Notice that the usual jeet posted his usual "sex with sayaka" without realizing this kind of gross overlook. It's on purpose.
>>289166426>Tiger Niko talking shit when Mukaku even at 100 would beat the ever loving FUCK out of himkek
>>289167016Sandro thinks every fight needs some idiot in the audience overreacting to everything.Waka is forced into the basedjak role this time.
>>289169223It's a rare moment where a tertiary character gets to shine, I don't care if it breaks the "powerscaling", I'll take it.
>>289166625I CAN FEEL THE EVIL RADIATING OUT OF THE PAGE FROM THIS DISGUSTING PIECE OF TRASH!
>>289166808Honestly zoomie hoodie Gilbert can at least come off as deliberately sauceless in a way that fits his age and role. It's at least a style and consistent with who he is.
Hassad soon.
I have a question for you all. If you were in Daro's position as Omega's artist, would you take your work seriously? Or would you be lazy and cut corners like Daro does?
>>289166834>>289166851Koga looks so insanely off model here I can only assume the AI mixed up the faces.
>another Supernova embarrassed and now Kiozan getting embarrassed too>all within 2 chapterssandro...
>>289167055This is when Ohma REALLY starts getting unlikable in fights. He starts challenging opponents specifically at the things they specialize in, like here where he's playing Sumo. While there's nothing wrong with that by itself and it is a neat way for a character to challenge themself, it really just leads to Ohma humiliating opponents in the fields they've dedicated themselves to with Niko magic. It's like just fighting Ohma is a humiliation ritual because he's making fun of you with Niko shit.
>>289169362I'd like to think that I have enough pride to not phone it in regardless.It's easy to say that though, and it's one of those things where calling it quits would be hard because it's not just your creation.
>>289169362I would make sick Togashi's scribbles look like the fucking Mona Lisa.
>>289166860>Sayaka is the one who calls the match Alisa wasn't stopping shit lmao.
>>289169362I'd phone it in but not to the level Daro does. I've got too much self respect for AI
>>289169418It IS a humiliation ritual to everyone reading it.For Sandro though he thinks it's like some sort of 'Woah, look how cool and strong Ohma is! Aren't you glad I brought him back!'
>>289169362Keep in mind that whenever he drafts something cool, Sandro tells him to make it worse. Why would you make effort at that point.
>>289166660Why bother listing the stats when they never matter?Might as well tell me their shoe sizes and their favorite colors!
>>289166477This page is dedicated to all of the "green" anons still amongst "my" ranks, love "us" all
>>289166625Why are you guys saying he's evil? isn't he the CEO of the PMC killing the worm?
>>289166693I hear this is an illegal, criminal, underground gambling facade for CEOs to make higher capitalistic gains?
>>289169362I would get mindbroken twice as fast
>>289168851That's because Shen at that time just came off from his self imposed nerf, so his power level was lower and was much easier to fathom.In here, Shen is fully recovered to high settings so it makes sense that Waka couldn't sense him.
>>289166693She probably just had abs week and wanted to show off the toned look of hers
>>289166894So what was the point of introducing Purgatory, where matches are exhibitions, then undoing the merger plotline, then saying they're collaborating, then just turning Kengan matches into worse Purgatory matches?
>>289166966>Kazuo gave his best buddy the KAT finalist/Guy who bet Purgatory's "King" for a Kengan Match against the drunkards rivalI'd be raising a fuss about the obvious bias here
>>289166426Holy fuck lol I totally forgot about this.Oh God this manga has made me laugh harder than any comedy ever have.
>>289169362I'd abandon it altogether and go make doujins of Sayaka and Alisa
>>289166491I never got what all these dudes assembled for. Seems like the mission was just an easy deal of tracking down Mukaku with some jobbers and then fighting him. Only Shen and Yan needed to be present.
>>289166860>crowd applause>fights are famous>"just starting this P-A-R-T-Y!!"What was secret Kengan supposed to be acknowledged as, again?What is Chairman Nogi's role, again???
>>289166919If this manga wasn't such dogwater this would actually be really cool which is frankly infuriating. "Main villain is hanging out with the good guys because he's so above them they're that clueless" is a good concept, dammit. So much potential for tension and for the emotional weight of the reveal that you just know Sandro won't capitalise on.
>>289168936Holy shit call harry houdini
>>289166943>get injured>sit out a few tours>come back in pristine fucking shapeYOU HEAR THAT ONOSATO? YOU'RE A FUCKING YOKOZUNA YOU'RE ALLOWED TOURS OFF JUST GET THAT FUCKING SHOULDER FIXED ALREADY DAMNIT.
>>289166625ENTERTHE ONLY MAN THAT CAN SAVE THE MANGA
>>289167055At least this asshole aspect of Omega Ohma kinda drills down to us that he's similar to Shen in personality.
>>289166956Despite everything, I still find Ohma's warm up jumps pre match charming. Reminders of a better time.
>>289169418>like here where he's playing SumoReminder that when Biscuit Oliva, the meatiest motherfucker in all of Baki, did the same thing trying his hand at Sumo, he had his entire ribcage BTFO'd by it. Ohma gets a free pass though lmao.
>>289167055Holy shit Ohma is making a face that's not bored disinterest
>>289166447Don't hex the dead, dude
>>289166625ENTEROUR FUARKING VILLAINOUS SCUM
>>289167016Why the fuck is he reacting like this? LMFAO
>>289166518Oh yeah I TOTALLY believe this retard can do anything against these guysis he even in fortnite? I dont remember
>>289169523Would a good guy take credit for Worm-killing?
>>289169523YEAH THAT'S DISGUSTING AND EVIL AND DASTARDLY BECAUSE...uh...
>>289168578Niko Style: Escape Rope...
>>289166625EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTER
>>289169362I'd fucking look for a better job
>>289166766is this the last time xia has appeared in omega so far?
>>289170283Outside the manga industry or paired with a different writer? Because I imagine it's hard to get a decent job outside if your skillset is almost entirely drawing manga, and the pool of writers to work with aren't that wide if you choose to continue drawing. It would suck to break away from Sandro only to get paired with "generic isekai writer #4091".
>>289170311No because Xia is Dodo
>>289169362I’d use AI too but I’m a tryhard so I’d always be arguing with the editor and maybe more of my cool shots and better moments would make it in. Also draw more lolis.
>>289167014Yujiro would reverse engineer "principles" in like ten minutes and spend the rest of the fight Stat-checking redirection and loldidn'thurt bullshit
>>289170391Would it suck? He seemingly gets paid jack and shit for working on Kengan.
>>289166919
>>289167171Don't think about it
>>289170501As much shit as Sandro gets (a lot of that is because he did good work with Asura before torching it with Omega), there are worse people to work with and shittier conditions to work under.
>>289169362It's just a job to put food on my table and a roof over my head. There's no punishment for using AI and no reward for not using AI. I'd save my hard work for actual passion projects or side gigs that value my artistic contributions.
>>289166874Cute koga.
>>289170662Another Mangaka and Editor would probably give Daro shit for being so callous about not caring about Kengan and using Ai to speed the process so he doesn't have to think about it too muchBut Sandro and Editor-san seemingly don't care which is why we keep getting posts from Daro talking about how much he doesn't give a shit and if the finished "product" is passable enough then he cares even lessDaro is free to be as lazy and unmotivated as he wants to be, if the pay is shit but he gets to put in less work for it than before than why leave. Realistically he'd likely not get any job offers if he tried bailing now anyway
>>289169574I want Alisa to shove my head into her abs until I pass out
>>289169362I personally don't think I'd let myself get this bad, but 16+ pages weekly does seem like a heavy weight. Even still, I think I'd at least try and QC a bit more, simply because I just wouldn't want anything as crazily, viciously bad as some of Daro's output behind my name, as an artist. I can understand, but he's ultimately just hurting himself as an artist, future prospects-wise. Though I suppose that's a moot point because Omega's only going to reach it's final arc in 2140 at the earliest.
>>289170311He appears in a photo alongside the real Nicholas
>>289168936
>>289166549Lmao dude literally the only thing that happened was Mukaku
>>289166625Duh DUH DUH DUUUUUUHHHHH
>>289168936Hey at least Daro doesn’t do redraws
>>289170808>Realistically he'd likely not get any job offers if he tried bailing now anywayPeople have no idea just how competitive and precarious the manga industry is, especially these days with the Japanese economy being in the shitter.
>>289169362>I have a question for you all. If you were in Daro's position as Omega's artist, would you take your work seriously?No, Sandro seems to actively reject Daro's input and thoughts. I know that Kengan is Sandro's vision but at that point it's not really a partnership, it's more like sweatshop work>Or would you be lazy and cut corners like Daro does?>"EVEN US WORMS HAVE OUR PRIDE"No, mostly because Ai is gay and from Daro's own complaints it doesn't seem worth what little effort it takes to prompt
>Shen Wulong, you shouldn't fight "The Aberrant One."...?>Pulls out the round ciggie box out of his aramid layered jacket>Pulls out a cig.>Lights it.>Takes a faaaat toke.>" "He" is "too much" for you. You can't take on an "antagonist who isn't a jobber bitch.">Exhales a solid cloud of carcinogenic smoke>"Do not worry, "Connector". I will protect you."
>>289169865Remember when he fought Shibukawa and admitted he doesn't deserve black belt in Judo after getting his hand dislocated in a split-second.That was a really cool moment
>>289168765Kek
>>289171176That Motobe?
>>289166625I don't understand the hype towards this guy
>>289166693I don't feel a thing for Sayaka but I want to sex Alisa
>beef with Kazuo's cousin's classmate's drinking buddy>got assigned Himuro against Agito
>>289171515>Himuro wins
>>289166625Jesus fucking christ. I never imagined so much VILLAINOUS, EVIL aura could exist in a single page…
>>289166766OH THANK GOD JI IS STILL ALIVE! And as lovely as ever!
>>289171176How would shen react to this?
what is a worm, I missed a few chapters
>>289171932He would unironically tell motobe to fight luohan for him because he is that lazy.
>>289166625/our/ fuarking HERO
>>289167670I give him no more than 20 pages of appearances. Actually being featured on a page of Omega sucks your intelligence away like a photograph stealing your soul.
>>289168735To be fair I think this is a layer ordering mistake rather than AI.
>>289172507iirc the mic itself is AI generated, and it might not even be intentionally layered on top to begin with.
>>289169574She's definitely training so she can beat people up.
I think the funniest thing about the "inside" is that it's not even a Sandro original. It's copied wholesale from Akatsuki no Goei and I guess Sandro just hoped no one reads VNs and would notice. He's just taking Kinugasa's nachos and reheating them but badly since Kinugasa at least kept it to one underground level and the "town" actually looked like a dilapidated settlement made by poor people instead of a city but underground.
>>289172757Everything is copied from everything else. Humanity has not produced a single piece of original fiction since the Epic of Gilgamesh.
>>289172757I wish Sandro would copy good writing
>>289166426>>289166447Yan was genuinely TWEAKING at the thought of Mukaku posing a serious challenge to Shen.
>>289168014"i" think "you" are "right"
>>289166616>The institution is as good as dead by now???
>>289166625This man seems quite fathomable
Alisa getting poached by Nogi is probably the biggest impact of KvP
>>289172757They’re both inspired by the real life Kowloon Walled City, it’s in a shitload of different stories.
>>289169875I do miss the emotion he had when he was struggling in a fight, even with niko magic it felt to me like he really had to work for his victories especially R2 onward, along with making his opponents look good. I guess he isn't really in a position to struggle now but maybe Koga could look a bit more tensed up when he has a hard fight
>>289167973He didn't, that was just the dropout students, not the main Seven. Not that it makes it much better, but Kitten Niko has never been in a Gu himself to our knowledge.
>>289168244Retsudo goes back offscreen to loot Mukaku's house for his magic forbidden scrolls, Ryuki doesn't even get to go back for any closure himself.
>>289166625SPOILER THIS SHIT WITH A WARNING, JESUS
>>289173440>Should I learn the Niko style? Nah let's recreate it from first principles with all the old ass styles Mukaku used to make it instead
>>289166518>>289166635I remember when the Kiryu cliffhanger into this being the title of the next chapter made people think that the Mahaparinirvana Palm was some kind of evolved Rakshasa's Palm, and Kiryu was trying to jump the whole group of villains or something.
>>289169619
>>289166625THE EVIL BASTARD
>>289166884
>>289173761Ryuki should be "green" here.
>>289166693sexo
>>289166894>>289166904I forgot that this match is when the backgrounds/extras got REALLY fucking bad.
>>289173838Remind me of the weird meta Fire Force chapter
>>289166966>>289167202>>289167440>"We don't have any incentive to commit fraud"MATTER? SETTLEDOr maybe you want to "discuss" your complaint about the organization of this match with THE ICY EMPEROR Himuro Ryo and THE FIST EYE Narushima Koga?
>>289170593Anon clearly forgot to put a limiter on his brain, a necessary requirement for Omega readers
>>289166998>>289167016God I fucking hate what Sandro did to Wakatsuki. Forced to become a bug eyed basedjak to contrast the epic stoic chads Joji and Shen.
>>289167055>Bitches yesterday about how much I hated Shen being basically Yuujiro when Kuroki was specifically NOT that in Asura>Now Ohma is literally doing a Yuujiro featHaaaate this manga.
>>289173935It's his way of artificially making it seem like what's happening in the fight is riveting and tense.
>>289166625ENTER CHOPSTICK JOHNNY
>>289167834No no he just learned it, unlike that BASTARD Yumigahama. Clear difference
>>289168936What wins out, Principles or CHIM?
>>289166625My GOATMy PROTAGONISTMy HERO
>>289166760Heh... my boy Ryukingz...
>>289167055It's like a Where's Waldo book, but shitty.
>>289166549In a comedy series they'd start talking about the totally awesome adventure the reader missed out on.>Himuro: I can't believe we had to fight the Four Demon Lords of Rikuko...>Retsudo: I know, but it was the only way to get the keys to go "Outside".>Koga: I'm glad we got Ryuki out, but I feel so bad over what happened to Mark...>Ohma: Mark is one of the strongest warriors I've ever met and even he fell to "that place". The "Inside" is unfathomable, I'm not going back there anytime soon.
>>289171273You will "understand" soon enough.
>>289166625"EVIL"... is on the move...No... It's already here...!!
>>289166549Nigger is saying "Bro, trust me bro, the place is SUPER dangerous bro. Don't believe me? Ohma is wary bro. They need a guide to get inside bro. People will wage war bro. And it's like, SUPER huge, bro. The deeper you go, the more dangerous! Trust me bro, you don't want to go into this place." then they just walked like there's nothing wrong with the damn place. I really thought they'd get screwed over by whatever that war in the Inside was. Really failed at the show, don't tell thing.
>>289166625Looks like Ohma with mustache to me.
>>289166693Nice tummy.
>>289166776>>289166789Aww, I thought it's going to be Setsuna's new move.
>>289166904Is that Nohara Hiroshi?
>>289166966>Ohma won against Seki once>Seki beats this fatfuck>Ohma is also the runner up o the last KAT>Ohma is taking Kazzy's friend's side in this matchRigged.
>>289166491Man, at least when he was introduced Gilbert was an edgy zoomer, nevermind that it made no sense with him being a clone and all, now he has no personality.
>>289166428Then I will need to scale the wall again.
>>289166447Wouldn't it be good for Yan for the connector to die?
Sen's fights may suck dicks but at leaqt they're always a goldmine for edits
>>289166590>>289166576Kinda rude they didn't get them some inside souvenirs
>>289166635This chapter is the start of Sandro not having idea what to do next week and the entire narrative cohesion of the manga while bad, now is completely gone.Stuff and fights just happen.
>>289173907Maybe take it to Kazzy boss, mister Nogi the CEO of the organization or Mr Metsudo whose daughter frequently visits Kazzy house and hangs out with Koga
>>289175029He's got some vague idea's like Setsuna confronting Tiger Niko and Akoya learning that his armor is holding him back and yes even Gilbert being immature but it's all incredibly haphazard, comes out of nowhere, disappears, and may reappear but we're not sure
>>289166491Remind me again how Shen Wulong found that shack so easily? Did he know Ryuki would be there? I don' remember.
>>289166549...didn't Rei want to meet up with them or something?
>>289175281One of the tom&jerry dudes figured out where Mukaku lives.
>>289168062Chopped some wood.
>>289166720Is she commentating every single parkinglot Kengan fight now?
>>289174121underrated
>>289166919Why does his name box say "Shen Wulong"? He just said he is Jackie Lee.
>>289166625Bloody bitch BASTARD!
>>289166625There he is, that motherfucker.
>>289175463Stop asking questions.
>>289173517All things equal, handled by a competent writer, I would prefer the ancient dragon texts to him just learning the Niko Style and becoming a third Ohma. He should keep his own niche as a fighter and work on improving and completing the Gaoh Style, and inherit the Long Clan techniques as Mukaku's grandson.But it's not like it matters under Sandro.
>>289166410I want to let green anons know somethingThe one big part of omega your missing out on is comikey jobbingEVERY WEEK the moment omega releases the site 404'sNever happens with any other manga on the site, but always happens with omega!A complete constant
>>289168579Mahaparinirvana Palm can do that
>>289176475We are simply "too strong".
>>289175331gross
i completely forgot this batch of kengan fights, is this where Jurota beats Agito?
>>289176855Yes, and also the prog rock of fighting.
>>289166410o... owari da?
>>289166625that bastard L*ohan has arrived
>>289169362thats what the anons dont getwe've seen daros drafts and they always are better than a finished productafter a few years of drawing cool mountains of corpses and being told "just replace them with tvs, lmao" i'd absolutely stop caring too
>>289176475An even bigger thing they're missing out on is the constant breaks (often unannounced). Getting 3 chapters per day is one thing. Getting a chapter per week with constant break weeks over the course of 6-7 years is another thing entirely. Especially since Sandro seemed to take more and more breaks in recent arcs. I think he took like 4 breaks across the entirety of the 25-26 chapters of the Real Champions Tournament? Someone did the math and looked at the chapter release dates a while back.
Didn't Rei head into the inside to warn Ohma's group of the worm? Or did I dream that? What happened to Rei?
>>289177601It's especially glaring when there were basically zero breaks for the first years of publication.
>>289177662>Golly gee! That Insane sure was a dangerous place! I'm glad we managed to get out safely!>The Rei Subplot :
i have a burning hate for sandro
>>289166625DASTARD
>>289167829>RYUKI DID YOU LAY THIS EGG?
>>289166693lookin good
>>289166625FUCKING
this is the first dump i pretty much just skimmed over. I can fee it...I'm getting free...
>>289177784kek based autist
>>289171054>People have no idea just how competitive and precarious the manga industry is, especially these days with the Japanese economy being in the shitter.The seethers do. That's precisely what enrages "us".
>>289175463>anons are catching on>Daro, up the waifubait dose
>>289177784For a sprite copypaste series, SMBZ had really good storyboarding and choreography
>>289166625God I could only wish somehow Sandro became aware of how righteous he wrote this “evil” scum
>>289177662I'll leave it open to interpretation
>>289166625JUST LOOK AT HIM GO! THIS BASTARD!
>>289178608
I know Mukaku's a bad guy but I feel bad for him. I mean, 85 years of being fueled by vengeance? Since you were 15 years old? He must have loved his clan. I pity him.
>>289179081Chiba Takeyuki...
>>289168028>yet another fanart that immediately salvages a sandro fuckup with a simple change i still dont get what was the point of turning gilbert into "literally eddie", his introductory design was much much better, was the cheap twist of him slicking back his hair really that good to sandro?
>>289168579funnily enough not likely to be an ai fuckup, seems more like just putting shit on the wrong layer(tho i dont doubt the mic itself is either sloppa or a 3d asset)
>>289168936its ok the table has a tayama shaped hole carved into that exact spot
>>289169362>decide to say fuck it and ignore the shitty script, just treat the manga like a series of cool illustrations to put in my portfolio, at least something i can be proud of for its technical prowess>sandro sees my rough sketches and tells me that my favorite panels are too goofy because i made the characters emote>looks at any interesting perspective shot i draw and tells me to tone it down to be flatter>whenever i come up with some decent bit of choreography or setup for how an enemy gets defeated he makes me redraw the whole fight because using tactics makes his favorite characters look bad>get fed up and start putting unaltered ai gens and stock photos into the rough drafts>sandro gives me the ok immediately, no changes needed>
>>289178253i think its because once you have the animating and drawing out of the way all that you can use to set yourself apart is the shot composition and choreography, if you dont get really good at arranging the things already out there in an exciting way nobody will care about your project
>>289168579The microphone is a separate drawn asset that can be used elsewhere, there's no reason to draw certain objects all over again if you end up using them in multiple pages down the line.Same goes for characters, expressions, backgrounds etc.It's an essential practice when you're drawing comics, otherwise it would take months to finish singular chapters.Whoever was in charge of editing that page forgot to erase the part of the microphone, it's as simple as that.
>>289169362Hell, we can see even as recently as the latest chapter that Daro is still putting in the tiniest amount of effort, and Sandro goes out of his way to shoot Daro down and make the manga look worse. I really don't blame him one bit for phoning things in. Why bother putting in an effort when your boss is committed to shitting everything up?
>>289177784What amazing flow this has.
>>289168344God fucking dammit I'm so tired
lol
>>289169418It's like what Agito used to do only without the sauce
>>289181397At least Agito was getting punished for it. He tried it for both Okubo and Gaolang, who gave him a good enough trashing because he tried play to their tune, then decided to lock the fuck in for his future fights and just wiped the floor clean.
>>289166625AHHHHHHH TOO MUCH EVIL
>>289166625You have 10 seconds to explain why this character is evil.
>>289181691Do I need to explain why fire is hot?
>>289181817Ughhh....I guess you're right. Damn. He truly is the greatest of all evils. That BASTARD. How dare he? Even thinking about his crimes makes me nauseous.
>>289181691If you would be so kind as to refer to this>>289168344
>>289181691Won't have sweaty gay sex with me on the bottom
>>289181691Cheeky Niko seducing brat who got wholesome Worm cloning scientists and assassins killed by M*kaku.
>>289181691Wrongthink in a deleted reality against Shen's friends makes you the lowest of the low.
Sandro will write his way out of the "Shen is way too much stronger than everyone else" corner by claiming actually Shen has such perfect recollection because memory is genetically encoded therefore Ohma can do principles shit on par with him once he's bumped on the noggin just right to awaken all the ancestral knowledge in his DNA.
>>289166919Sandro really had a great opportunity to make a running gag out of Shen being good friends with the Kengan characters, kind of like when people misread Yamashita as a total badass.
>>289166616Who would have thought their king fu bullshit didn't work against rifles.
>>289181691He just is, ok!?
>>289181447Well, he pretty much got away with it against Okubo, he really did just MMA better. I reckon he could pull it off against most of the R1 KAT losers at least>>289181691>I'll leave it open to interpretation
>>289166766Omega being Omega I can believe he died off screen.
>>289177784Your all laughing yet wait till we get Hyper Turbo Mecha Fei and find the 7 secret martial arts book pamphlets to defeat him.
>>289169362I would simply quit.
>>289177784>Rei the Hedgehog
>>2891753313x the worm action
I am genuinely interested in seeing what that bastard is like, since I've never read this far into Omega. Mostly I'm interested in seeing if my interpretation of him strictly from reading the material will add up to the thread's reaction to him
>>289169362I would be lazy but I wouldn't be Daro lazy. I especially wouldn't use AI, but also I'm too autistic to ever commit the level of visual continuity errors of current Omega. Daro's laziness is so profound it's even making him draw extra stuff he shouldn't as of the latest chapters and I could never sink that low. Especially if it was my job. If I can remember those details as a reader while following dozens of other weekly things I can't fathom how mentally checked out he needs to be to forget from one page to another.
>>289166491EVIL IS ON THE MOVE!
>>289183352>he really did just MMA betterTrue, but that was to establish the fang as a top tier fighter. It is much more interesting in his fight with Gaolang when it really starts going south and he realizes it.Problem with what Ohma's doing here is that it serves no purpose. Oh wow Ohma is super strong I didn't know that look how he took sumo head on!
>>289166549This is like in HunterxHunter were they hype up greed island end it end up being just a videogame. At least there something happens.
>>289166919Stupid fan translation, they put Shen's tittle box on Jackie Lee.
>>289166904You are a public figure, you shouldn't be seen here in the underground kenga matches. >>289166943By the way the very public Zumo guy is fighting today.
>>289182943The true subverts is allowed Hanafusa win against him
>>289183887the good o'l every character saying he worse than hitler, yet Sandro refuse to show WHY he's bad
>>289167055One the one hand fuck the Niko style magically negating everything, one the other Hey look! Ohma isn't acting like a generic stoic guy here.
>>289182943Shen will ultimately "consume" himself as he's the strongest "nutrients" that he knows and the story ends with him basically killing himself.
>>289184234The story will end with Luohan getting emptied out to become Dragon's vessel after he puts up a good enough fight against Shen and then you get a hint that Shen vs Hushen are about to fight and the manga ends.
Like i dont want to be rude but atp you're GENUINELY retarded if you think we're getting Ohma vs Shen.Havent the last fifty buildups and plotpoints that lead nowhere clued you in yet?"Nothing" ever "happens".
>>289184234Shen fondness for eating and drinking is a metaphor for him "consuming" the techniques of martial artists. In the end someone will "cook" him the most delicious "meal" he's ever eaten and he'll become "satisfied".
>>289184828>Unironically going to be offed by "Koga" styleWill the prophecy be made true? Faggotsbane is going to be made real?
>>289184828Enter.... The "Chef" of two blades...
>>289184913>Mushashi chops a fish>Kazzy'a great-great-grear ancestore freaks out and so yfaces all over>"IN SPITE OF THE VISIBLE DAMAGE THE RAZOR WAS SOOOOO THIN"
>>289181691He was mean in the chapter drafts
Are Sandro's other manga worth reading? Not in a "are they good" sort of way, but as a way to "gather data" for my shitposting techniques?
>>289185302Can't speak for Strike it Rich but Blue Ursus is very much a Sandro book. Dumbells is more or less a companion book to Kengan
>>289185302I can't speak for Danberu but SiR decent enough I guess?
>>289177601>>289177710that's something new to me (i stopped reading but still shitpost). there was a period where even for golden week/other times you'd expect a manga to be off, you could always count on a kengan chapter, for better or worse.
>>289166884>anyway my manga now
>>289181691Just look at him
>>289186670He looks like he's about to sell me a used car. Now that's evil.
>>289185302Danberu is a gag manga. If you think the humor in Kengan is funny enough then you might enjoy DanberuSiR just KvP level writing, it's extremely by the books and predictable. Same thing with Blue Ursus, very by the books and bland. The thing with SiR and BU is that their artists still care unlike Daro so you'll probably stick around for the art.Funny thing is, we don't know how much freedom those artists are given unlike Daro. Judging by the differences Sandro might be giving them more leeway than our Ai Prompter
>>289184066LolShen already implied that he could tank Hanafusa's super killing virusLmao
So you know how in Shaman King the bad guy was so overpowered that the good guys had no shot whatsoever at beating him and he had to peace out himself? I'm feeling that that's the only way out left for Shen at this point.
>>289187292>>289184436
>>289184828You know I kinda miss TorikoThe series took until that frozen area to finally hit its stride but I actually enjoyed it instead of just me enjoying my anger like it is with Omega
>>289187393>strongest being in the world is a silly little monkeyI wouldn't say it was special but I certainly miss it
>>289187292We’re basically culminating in South Park’s WoW episode with the Kenganvengers grinding jobbers as nutrients up to level 99 to eventually beat Shen.
>>289185302SiR's art is good because god bless MAAM, has some nice designs, but the fights are pretty mediocre and the story is bland. It is far from omega-tier, but it is not particularly good either. I think it produced one, maybe three shitposts.
>>289187753Well the most recent fight just turned into another>HinawinslolSo it's speedrunning the Ohma treatment.
>>289187292The problem is that in Shaman King, it gets repeatedly hammered that realistically nobody can overcome Hao, and it's in particularly Yoh's vibeIn Kengan Omega, despite painting Shen as a completely unparalleled wuxia magician, the writing is trying to make it seem like if you scale enough walls you might beat him
>>289189059And it's not usually Yoh's strategy*
>>289177784>the countless dragons that rained down were less significant threats than the human (and hedgehog) in the sky
>>289189059I mean as we have seen once you have scaled enough walls you start to develop your own specific brand of wuxia bullshit. Maybe your bullshit can counter principles.
>>289189570Unironically wtf are you even supposed to do against this?
>>289181817Why is fire hot?
>>289189676Principles probably.
>>289189613Ranged attacks. Or be immune to throws.
>>289185302We're all already wasting enough time reading Kengan. Life's too short to read more than one kusomanga. There's plenty good martial arts manga not to bother with this shit.
>>289190010Reminder that being immune to pain makes you immune to throws
>>289166625"He" has "arrived"
>>289189613Niko Style hard counters thanks to redirecting the flow of power. Jurota’s throws would be the ultimate setup for Demonsbane, like a martial arts railgun.
>>289191157>Rips out 1 single strand of hair and punches you as your body involuntarily reactsHeh, nothing personnel, Nikker.
>>289192474Kinda perfect representation of the Sandro v Itagaki approach.I dont think chapter 1 ashura ohma would job to pain in any way because Sandro's cast are demigods whereas for Itagaki they're "Very, very very very very very exceptional humans."
>>289192501Ashura Ohma had to take a break after his first 3 Kengan matches because the built up damage was actually pretty severely impacting his fighting capabilities.
