The riveting conclusion of Cosmo vs Hatsumi awaits us. Maybe. Hopefully.
>>289390465Hatsumi will win.Narratively, it makes no sense for Cosmo to win when he's already discarded his bracelet. So he beats Hatsumi, then what? He's immediately booted out anyway.But I suppose Sandwich may be going for a double elimination to speed things up.
I am ready to "set sail"

I "arrived" far too late for today's daily dump, so when I browsed through it in the archive, I got to this page and was surprised nobody commented that the name of the bar is just "The Bar". Sandro was so fucking lazy he couldn't be bothered to spend 5 seconds to come up with a random bar name. He couldn't even just Google some good bar names.I did that and found almost 100 he could have just picked from and nobody would have cared.https://www.spoton.com/blog/bar-name-ideas/

Acknowledges the MC is the "protagonist" (Luohan/Nicholas if you squint)>His explanation for how he's so good at impersonating people and blending in is LITERALLY THE SAME AS LU TIEN'S>He ends up being defeated by the MC's power of friendship/plot device "just fucking win" asspull while he rants about how everyone's going to die someday, goes down compliment hexing his enemies, yaps about how this has all contributed to his "real" objective...and then in a break from Sandro's antagonists doesn't kill himself, gets away, and actually gets the protagonists in trouble since by fighting him they awakened a nearby god's huskI don't fucking believe it. He ACTUALLY stacked enough jobber flags to cause a stack overflow and win.

>still no chapter title even though the chapter comes out in 2 hoursSometimes the chapter title is uploaded like 5-6 hours in advance. Sometimes it doesn't even come out until the chapter is only minutes away from being uploaded.It's funny how this manga is arguably Comikey's number one breadwinner and yet nobody at Comikey is even treating it with any level of seriousness and respect. Not that it deserves seriousness and respect from a narrative standpoint, but since it's your biggest moneymaker, you should be doing everything you can to ensure it's making the most possible money, like by actually having consistent upload schedules for chapter titles. After all, the whole point of uploading chapter titles as early as possible is to build up hype and get people talking about the chapter. It raises social media metrics and increases the possibility that people will begin paypigging (under the logic of: "Wow, all these people are talking about the manga, I think I'll give it a try!").
>>289392148Something something writer doesn't write, artist doesn't art, publisher doesn't publish. You know the shtick
frankly i'm disappointed in Gilbert. that was really all the Wu faction had? that was their best fighter? he went out like a screaming bitch to a side-character. i thought he was supposed to put the fear of God into Raian or something.
>>289392180If only Willem was here...
>>289392190KekGilbert doesn't have the clout to spout off remarks like that though
>>289392180He's always been treated like a joke. This was from today's daily. He's basically Sandro's way of continuously humiliating Eddie by proxy.

>>289392387>the only way to get smug Gaolang is for Chiba to do it
>>289392180You just know whatever horrible death Sandro has in store for Gilbert is way worse than whatever he has for Luohan, especially considering Gilbert has to fight Raian at some point and the narrative currently says Gilbert sucks right now

TERMS AND CONDITIONS!?
>Chapter 362: The Fighter and the Refuser
>it actually is another rule retcon chapterKISAMA
So if he truly can’t put it back on, Comsmo is going for the suicide win, taking 2 strong Kengan fighters out at once.
>>289392680The Refuser is Sen refusing to let go of his stick, because if he proves he can win with a weapon and subvert the weapon curse, he’ll have “scaled the wall” somewhat.
What if the Refuser and the Fighter are the same person? Representing the duality of Cosmo.
>>289392684Sayaka never mentioned how long it must be strapped to your wrist or ankle. For all we know the rule could be interpreted as "wear it when entering the zone and then you can do whatever you want"
>>289392684Ryuuki was talking to Koga about the ambiguousness of the rules, so it might be the case that the fighters lose if another participant takes their device but not if they remove it themselves. Which would also allow them to change where they wear it, since Cosmo originally had his on his ankle but took it off his wrist last chapter.Or maybe it's just open to interpretation.
>>289392807The vagueness is the point. Sandro doesn't want to shackle himself with anything specific, so he keeps things as ambiguous as possible so that he can twist and bend things on a whim.Not that he hasn't outright broken rules anyway, but by slithering within ambiguity, he can at least pretend everything was keikaku doori and that he's staying consistent.
>>289392680Of course, "The Fighter" is Cosmo and "The Refuser" is SenChiba who refuses to fight honorably by "acting" as Sen
>>289392807What's stopping me from burying it in a hole or putting it in some other reasonably safe spot while combat is ongoing then?
>>289392877That's probably exactly what Kaneda is doing because he's the only "normal man" among the fighters. The rest are idiots
The best place to put it is to strap it onto your cock and balls. Rarely ever do you get hit there and you always block that spot.

>>289393093Yeah they came up with the Yumi fighting to get money for his sick imouto, and they think Okubo himself is a curse and that he’ll jinx whoever he thinks will win.
>>289392594>>289392680NOOOOO I DONT WANT TO FIGHT IN THIS FIGHTING MANGA
>>289391692SEX
>>289393102I'm pretty sure the most logical explanation is that Cox was a member of the Death Dealers and the Worm deliberately pulled this stunt so he could then approach the US military and offer their services and get funding.
>>289391584>nobody commented that the name of the bar is just "The Bar".Naming your place like that seems to be fashionable nowadays. Might be a thing just for non-English-speaking countries though
>>289391766Good, now give me the gacha name.It must be a Chinese one if that ID is there.
>>289391584>the bar>is below ground Yeah that checks out
>>289393258A quick image search says it's Honkai.
>>289393228Nah, this is the same setting that named its hospital "St. Goddamn's Hospital". Of course, that was back when Sandro still hasn't gotten bored of the manga yet. He still cared about putting in attempts at humorous touches here and there.Naming a bar as "The Bar" was clearly just him phoning it in because by this point it was just a job for him that he'd clock in and clock out after 5 minutes of writing per week.
>>289390702>discarded his braceletit was a "fake" bracelet
>>289393455Who’s bracelet was the 2nd bracelet?
>>289393455>everyone was so willing to believe the wrist watch was another continuity error that no one even considered it was Cosmo dirty fighting againFucking lel

>>289393490Daro is inconsistent as fuck when it comes to drawing the bracelets so it could go either way
Is it a real bracelet or a fake bracelet? The odds mean that it could be either one. What a razor-thin matchup!
This is an interpretation type tournament
>>289393480he took it from the terrible frenchman, it's going to be revealed that cosmo was gunning for sen all the time and he was just pretending to be timid
>>289391997It's the opposite, it's only good for the first few chapters where the punchline is him skipping fights by punching the other guy in the dick. The "main plot" is like a confused drunk lurching side to side between tournament arcs where nobody cares about any of the participants and evil conspiracies with no consequences that nobody cares about with some occasional side character being gay for Kawabata thrown in for spicing.
>>289393480It's from that chink with pain immunity>but he wasn't eliminated!That's what they want you to think
>>289393578Someone needs to edit this with Nicolas's smug face (preferably this >>289393008 warped version) and the text "it's an interpretive kind of feel" or something along those lines.

But I'll be pleasantly surprised if it turned out Sandro remembered he put it there at the start.

>ABSCONDmo>FLEEgito
>gaijin vs GRAND sumo?it's over
>>289394335Kiozen put on a good showing against Ohma that one time so he has the better odds, and I haven’t seen Adam fight enough lately even after losing to Ryuki, but he might have something up his sleeve.
>the REAL Carlos MedelIt's so fucking over for Sticksumi

SAndro's really going to milk this tournament for all it's worth huh. I suspect the second round starts in the fall of 2027.

>>289394290Another Supernova offscreened, and Cosmo didn’t even do it, some Worm did or Shen himself is hunting them down because he mistakenly thinks they’re strong based on the group’s name.
>Hatsumi vs MedelHatsumi loses. Medel is his worst match up.>Lihito vs SawadaWho cares>Adam vs KiozanKiozan turbo stomps
>>289394391they will link up and marathon around the battle royale borders until it's over

>>289394443Onada was oneshotted by Yan, I'm pretty sure?
>>289394318Now that he's free of Kaneda's hex, it's up in the air
I give Sandro zero credit for the switcharoo because we see Cosmo's ankle a few times in this fight and there's no bulge for the watch like how Julius' sock clearly had one when he did that.
>>289394444Rihito clears at this stage
>Was thinking about Sawada fighting Lihito>Adam and Kiozan>Carlos fightFuck you Sandro. You succeeded in "hyping" me, now I'm "vulnerable" to a well timed subversion.
>>289394335They're both Kenganvengers and Adam has gone longer without getting a bone thrown to him.
>>289394439cosmo skedaddling to tell "everyone" that sen isn't on their "side" kind of detracted from the chapter
>>289394484Yeah it would be hard to actually hide, but I do like the idea of it.
>>289394463Why is Sen so rapey this tournament?
Adam vs Kiozan should actually be a fun matchup
>>289394504I am really interested in Kiozan Vs. Adam's fight. I HOPE it's good, but!
>>289394517It’s weird because as we’re seeing basically everyone is doing it, so I imagine Cosmo isn’t going to get much support when he tattles.
>>289394538He switched from women to men
>>289394484This. It's more likely that he read a bunch of comments in JP forums mocking him for it and made him realize his mistake.
Sneak peek at one of the future chapters
>>289394436Why the fuck did Sandro do this to him? I thought the whole watch switch was actually a good idea to show him fighting smart and ruthless, and that he'd use it for an opening, but instead he just uses it to Kure Family Tradition Copy Agito?It's baffling, Cosmo was clearly one of his favorite pets in Ashura, but in Omega he might just be the worst treated KAT Kenganvenger beyond the C-listers like Chiba/Sawada.
>>289394538He’s got a big thirst for nutrients
>>289394444>Medel is his worst matchupElaborate.
>>289392148>>289392164
>>289394594Lost it at the crazyface back.
Sawada will spin so hard, he overwhelms Rihito for the first four pages, following by three pages of exposition about inertia. And then, he trips on some branches and hit his head on a rock, the next two pages is Rihito saying that his spins were unfathomable.
>Genikasuri wednesday>MC Ride actually fodderized Inazuma>MFWI thought Sako was being a memelord but no
>the chapter was good??!?
Kiozan is actually a pretty underrated fighter. He fucked up Seki pretty bad and probably would have won against most of the other fighters with his sumo charge. He also did pretty well against Ohma and only lost because Sandro did that thing where he suddenly introduced a new character trait out of nowhere and made up some shit about Kiozan not falling on his back to crush Ohma. I like Adam but Kiozan should shit on him barring any subversions.>Rihito vs. Sawada Rihito should take this easy. Sawada is like Himuro in that he gets the occasional lip service but simply isn’t impressive enough to have an onscreen win.
>>289394594What a shame that the worm didn't provide enough "nutrients" for Chiba to "level up" and restore his "health".
>>289394594Kek, I like the idea of them disappearing and leaving their watches when they lose.
>>289394364The only reason that was even up in the air was due to how blatant fucking up drawing the watch location has been so far
Not gonna lie. Tha was a FUN chapter, for the good reasons. Is Sandro... Trying?

Rihito vs. Sawada and Adam vs. Kiozan each get maybe one or two chapters at the most.Sen vs. Medel will be the only full fight.
>>289394721>Is Sandro... Trying?No. Maybe he didn't bother to veto any of Daro's suggestions this time so the chapter ended up being better than one where Sandro tries
Where's imgurAnon?
>Adam vs KiozanTossup because both of them lost their last fight. However, Sandro probably sees it at an honor to get to bloody Ohma and survive Demonsbane, while Adam was forced to take a dive against one of Sandro's most despised characters, so he probably feels way worse about that one. Leaning Adam due to having greater meta-karmic reserves here. >Rihito vs SawadaThis is just a memberberry fight, there's no way Rihito actually has much trouble here after he beat Saw who beat Falcon, who beat Sawada pretty handily. I know power levels theoretically aren't linear here, but it's not like Sawada has a really strong matchup here. They were "rivals" when Rihito was an untrained retard.I'm sure Sandro will wank Sawada a bit and let him bruise Rihito up a little so we know how awesome he is though.>Sen vs MedelThis one is probably the most questionable. It's Purgatory vs Kenganvenger, BUT, Sen has been acting way too rapey and unwholesome here. His spiritual defenses have been lowered, and the "timing" to strike is now.Medel was also clearly one of Sandro's favorite Purgs, and he definitely regretted neutering him so badly(see, the whole immediate walking back of capoeira and gaining back weight). But he never actually got to fight since KvP despite those remarks. So if Sandro actually remembers it, and still likes him, I think Medel takes it. Of course, I also thought Cosmo was one of Sandro's favorites, so....
I can’t see Hatsumi losing now that Cosmo is apparently going to warn people about him.

>>289393298>>289393506I am late, but thank you.
>>289394851For Rihito vs Sawada, I imagine that try to make it closer and more of a struggle for Rihito than it should be, but with their records and Rihito’s general improvement, Rigito’s taking it. Hell I think even current Gilbert-squashed-Falcon would have had a better chance Rihito.

>>289394942Pretty sure he literally took the large face in the same page, mirrored it, and scaled it down.
>>289394631He was a strikerSen was a grapplerCould I make it any more obvious?
I know that Sawada is going to lose but he’ll probably have a “HOWEVER” before that but I genuinely can’t think of what it would be. His entire fighting style revolves around spinning and then delivering a kick and there’s not really any way to put a twist on that.Maybe Sandro has been playing SF6 and will say that Sawada learned Judo or something.
legit i can't remember what this guy's schtick wasi think chainsmoking somehow made him stronger or something
>>289394644I wonder if Sawada will get an actual fight this arc.
>>289394821>got the feedback that he keeps shooting down daro's good ideas from the thread>decides not to do that>manga suddenly improvesHuh?! Is that legal?
Come to think of it, we never had out of bounds elimination so far. That's how Kiozan will win while keeping Adam's cred intact>>289394990Don't forget, Shen is an ancient tree. By using a stick Sen basically upgrades to the same type of stand.
>>289395031Well you're not satisfied and you're still here.
>>289394990He's gonna scale linearly with the stick on so that when he finally drops it the multiplier from losing the weapon debuff turns it into exponential growth.
>>289395031Opinion on Cassius Clay?
>>289395031My only hope is that Sen vs Medel at least has some backhanded and snarky complements instead of the usual mutual fellating. But who am I kidding, as soon as the fight gets going the Sandrovirus will hit both and they'll turn into stoic complement hexers.
>>289394631Medel is quick on his feet and strikes faster than Gaolang. He can consistently weave through Gaolangs flash.Remember when Hatsumi shat him pants when Chiba larped as being some kind of Chimera fighter? When Carlos blitzes him and gives him a nose bleed and says "my fist is faster than light, it could even kill a god" He's gonna take the boast seriously.Hatsumi likes to close the distance by avoiding a strike (like when it looks like it hit him) But there is no shot he can do that with Medel's strikes. Medel will keep jabbing him and avoid staying too long in Hatsumi's range. Carlos was a feather weight but even he could crack Gaolangs bone in a fight.Lastly as far as we know Hatsumi has no pre initiative, Carlos does. Hatsumi's set ups into Akido will be difficult to pull off against a faster opponent who won't be taking any baits.Not an easy fight, Hatsumi is stronger overall but I have to acknowledge that Carlos can positively win this.

>>289395072>Sen is Noitamaxxing
>>289395051His special move is SSSHYEAAAAHHH while pretending to hold a knife
>>289394883Whoever Cosmo runs up to will punch him in the face anyway
>>289395069Difference being that I'm not the one eagerly willing to get down on all fours face down ass up like you have.>>289395087Yeah, it's gonna be shit and/or disappointing. That's the only certainty we've got with this manga.
>Sawada is still sex because Daro hasn't lost his manlust yet>Adam is hopefully still a slur machine>Medel is prime meme potential and hasn't had a fight in foreverThese fights should prove to be "entertaining" if nothing else.
>>289394698Kiozan would have won against Seki if he didn't attack him again and woke him up from that kick. It's kind of surprising how it feels like Sandro knows he's really strong and doesn't make him a joke like some other r1 losers.

>>289395051>>289395105The smoking was just some random quirk.His actual gimmick was that he wasn’t really a martial artist but a mercenary who learned how to survive in the battlefield. His style was about being simple and finding the most efficient way to kill someone, which was simply to target their vital points and crush them with his full body weight as if he had an invisible knife. He was also super tanky so he would just let himself get hit to lure his opponent in so he could grab them.
>>289395039>Carlos is also a speedster like GaolangDon't do this to me. Never again. Hatsumi better not grow a massive wrestler neck.
>>289395051I thought it was being an Israeli spec ops guy. Or did I hallucinate that?

"I" (played by Asat Pramad) have "scaled the wall" to a never level of "Shitpost". "You" (played by Asat Pramad) need to catch up to "Us" (Played by Asat Pramad)
Nothing ever happens.
>>289395100>Lastly as far as we know Hatsumi has no pre initiative,He was the second one to be introduced having it. Remember the Ohma spar?
>>289395303>Sawada's bladeIn retrospective, this dude never had a chance.
>>289395069Your standards are "descending" the "abyss". This chapter is hovering around mediocrity at best. The threads remain the best part of the Kengan experience, so don't try to chase people away and make Keng/a/n an emptier place.
>>289394990Shouldn't use a stick, should use something hard, like a rockAlso maybe throw the rock at himMaybe chemically alter the rocks using like, heat or something to only get the hardest part of the rocksMaybe make some sort device that uses the concussive force generated by an enclosed exothermic reaction to throw those really hard rocks really fast so he can't move in time even if he reacts in timeMaybe get a lot of those devices or some sort of meta-device that can use those devices in rapid succession so if he does deflect one of those really hard rocks the next one will get him
>>289395249Has to re-read, he just learnt krav maga from some jew in Ukraine apparently
You know, with Cosmo running around, and Akoya chasing after Agito presumably. The potential for them to run into eachother again is back on the table.
>>289395247You have yet to experience the full power of Carlos' new 3.85 star running app which has pushed his DEX to "higher heights"
>>289395315>Nam, Jose and Justin are still somehow in the gameUnfathomable

What’s the difference between foresight and pre-initiative again?

>>289395051he has yet to "smoke" the "wall"

>>289395467A mysterious "third faction" that has never been mentioned in the news
>>289395084Good. I'd even say he's awesome. He's one of the top 5 boxers to ever do it, you know? Truly unfathomable. Parkinson's Disease only won by a "razor's edge", had he taken better care of his body who knows what would happen?
>>289395341I'm not the one talking shit here.
>Tch guess there so no other choice>I have to take whatever strikes he dishes out until I can land my Akido>"Heh, sorry Medel, but I'm pretty tough myself"
>>289395467He was alternating between the Glaswegians and the Italians, unknowingly making both factions seem like a threat to the Worm
>>289395163>I'm not the one eagerly willing to get down on all fours face down ass up like you have.Leave me out of your fantasies.
>>289395315By design, of course. He needs this arc to go on for as long as possible so that he can keep making easy money.Not that anything actually needs to happen. Look at people ITT duped into thinking this chapter is good. Sandro doesn't even need to try and the seals are easily impressed and willing to clap.
>>289395457No need to be jumpy, if that can reassure you I think you are *very* cool and badass.
>>289394594>that gold drop
>>289395607No need for the catty passive-agressiveness, most of "us" will shit on sandro's bad writing. It's time that you made your peace with that.
>>289395315Shouldn't Hatsumi be 2 since Nicholas had Jean's point too?
>>289395377Cosmo will run into him and expect a fight, only for Akoya to walk past him.
>>289395555>"He's sturdy...!">"Mierda... it looks like my outboxing won't work on him, he must have trained his neck, even ten billion direct jabs to the jaw wouldn't be able to take his HP past 1.">"If I want a snowball's chance in infierno, I've got to use "that" already...!

Another nothingburger chapter, eh? Oh well. I'm gonna go collect me some "nutrients".
>>289395315who bopped falcon and the monk again?
>>289395582Sorry about that. I don't have much going in my life, so my only passtime is pretending to be a tough guy on 4chan and violently antagonize anyone who slightly triggers one of my many self-inflicted manias. I'm very insecure.
>>289395031I read your meme in the Japanese way
>>289395695While you're doing that, I'll get us some "legs".
>>289395712Nutrientsman, off screen of course. Can't have villains properly winning after all.

>>289395163>Difference being tha-BRRRRARARARARAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
>>289395743too bad for falcon, we know previous edward had a weakness to poison
>>289395671Thankfully, plenty of other posters seem to be able to do that without issues so I don't think this was the topic at all. You can be at peace.
>>289395549That's sort of the problem.At least refute the points on what makes this chapter unsatisfying. Why shouldn't Hatsumi vs Cosmo have concluded normally with one of them just losing, instead of Cosmo being a tattletale? Why should we trust that Sandro will actually write the three fights like they are happening at the same time, and not freeze the other two in time while he focuses on one?
>>289395457>>289395671Is this what a faggot looks like? Fire in one's ass can cause this kind of vocabulary? Unfathomable
You guys ready for another grappler vs striker match up?
>>289395818You're now imagining Stephen A. analyzing Kengan Matchups on First Take

>>289395872I didn't know this was from a sports talk show. Interesting.

Some of you really do come here every Wednesday just to shit, piss, cum and cry, huh?
>>289395843>Sawada is so fast, I have to get the “timing” right and lock him down by grappling>A true rikishi can withstand any of these feeble gaijin blows, I just need to wait for the chance to get him with a throw
>>289395675The only example Sandro gave us was an example of 2 fighters with 1 point fighting and the winner having 2, but It might be what you said. Will have to wait for the eventual rules recap chapter
Just wanted to say that I am absolutely not mad right now, btw.
>>289395358What if instead of everyone fighting everyone for no reason, all the Kenganvengers teamed up, hid in the bushes and chucked rocks at Shen until he went away
>>289395967This right here is my favorite moment of that fight. Jurota casted a hex that prevents Gaolangs regular punches from doing any damage to him.
>>289395675Nicolas himself seemed unsure if he actually got a point from Jean or not since he didn't break the watch. I guess there's no notification on your watch when you "consume" points?Open to interpretation I suppose.
>>289396100Oh right, there's no actual points tracker whatsoever right?
>>289394941It being a free for all isn't the actual purpose though, that's just the optics. The reality of the competition is to stop Shen Wulong. It's not about sportsmanship or about trophies, it's about the most dangerous man on the planet. The idea that getting each other injured in-fighting is going to somehow make you more ready for Shen, instead of idk, jumping him- Is insane. Cosmo's being perfectly rational.
>>289394941It isn't meant to actually be a battle royale.It's meant to be a Worm Extermination Mission.
Can anyone remind me why they decided a battle royale of all things instead of a standard tournament? And I don't mean a meta reason, just why did Nogi think this was a good idea. Or did Metsudo think it was funny?
Fun short fight. Made use of the battle royale setting by including the environment and rules. Sen got confirmed as a gigabased sane person who truly doesn't give a fuck about Ryuki and Ohma.
The reasons for fighting are nonsensical as always but there was some nice choreography this chapter. I've been enjoying the past few in isolation, surprisingly.Predictions: Hatsumi just hexed himself out of his chungusvenger protection and Medel got retconned into literally Kuroki after his one singular (embarrassing) fight, so he's fucked here. I got Rihito and Adam too but I could be wrong on either, they're not important enough to be immune to Sandroisms. Also, Cosmo's a bitch.
>>289396120Perhaps after this current round of "appetizers" done, Sandro will gift us with a leaderboard as part of a nice rule intermission.
>>289396202So Shen would have to fight as many people as possible and they could potentially beat him by attrition. A tournament where he has to fight everyone one-by-one would work too, but they probably figured he'd say no to that since anyone reasonable would. (Shen would've said yes)
>>289390717>Odio a ese hijo de puta, Luohan>Wait is that Kuroki?Holy shit my sides, good job anon
>>289396202Theoretically they have the numbers advantage and can gang up on Shen or win through technicality.
>>289393279Underrated
Hopefully next chapter will be at least on "this" level
>>289396209Yeah I was actually okay with Cosmo throwing a rock, I don’t think we needed a whole throwing capability for f humans panel. Still surprised Cosmo ran
>>289396159It should have been set up like Candle Woods instead.
Wait wtf there's a skeleton hiding inside Cosmo?!
>>289394941the whole point of this "battle royale" was to give a fighting chance against shen since in practice it'd be literally everyone against him+5 worms, yes there's the "um actually we'll get stronger by beating others like we're pokemon leveling up" but ultimately that's supposed to be their goaleven though it doesnt seem like anyone actually gives a shit
>>289396364>>289396364>>289396364>>289396364>>289396364
>>289395903>Muh throwing man>Now strikes"you" are still "green""he" is throwing a punch
>>289396336Yes, even his eyes were skeleton eyes
Don't believe anyone who says that this battle royale is for team work, they just want the wish for themselves
>>289394631Sen's most humilloating defeat came to a hyper-specialized Agito who went all in on maximizing his strikes and going faster and harder than Sen's aikido could keep up with. Carlos might be pillowfisted but he's very nearly the quickest striker in the series.
>>289394594Getting better and choreography and paneling
>>289396374Thank you anon, based as always!
>>289394594Could you make a comic about this video?
>Sen is looking at his watch>actively sees Cosmo running away >somehow doesn't see Carlos approaching
>>289396593WtfThat camera pan over to the trophy shelf was kino as fuck
>>289395051He "leveled up" and "scaled the wall" by going through a Gu ritual with starving Palestinian children
>>289396593SSSSSHYEEEAAAAHHH
>>289395163I get being disappointed and annoyed at Kengan, that's all of us here, but I've never quite understood the subset of keng/a/n posters who go red with rage at the merest hint of positivity or unironic enjoyment of the manga, even at its nadir.
>>289396707Right? Everyone was doing their own thing until that fucking clown started sniffing his neighbors' feet
>>289396615The real Carlos Medel is simply too real for Kengan tech
>>289396615FASTERTHANLIGHT
>>289396707I wouldn't say it's so much unironic enjoyment a la "this is do good" as it is genuine postironic enjoyment in a "this dogshit manga is at least being entertaining" sort of way. I only enjoy Omega for the meme and at this point I enjoy chapters based on how memable they are.
>Agito vs Akoya>doesn't want either of his Ashura babies should lose so Agito runs>Cosmo vs Hatsumi >doesn't want either of his Ashura babies should lose so Cosmo runs>throws Medel at Hatsumi because he is a mere purgatory peasantAAAAAAAAAAAAI HATE IT I HATE IT
>>289395315Hongchads, we're still in with a chance!
>>289397665You say this but I think Medel will win
>anons unironically believing in Medel when he's still a skellyweight despite saying he wanted to bulk back up since purgatory
>>289398726He is clearly bulkier now >>289394350
>>289398726The same way Shen was built like a tank in his first appearance but looks skinny while wearing clothes, Medel will suddenly gain 75lbs of pure muscle once he takes his jacket off.
>>289394463Hatsumi didn't actually train with the Kures or whatever between Ashura and Omega, he was in jail for being a sex offender.
>>289398726He's definitely bigger now. Medel will take him.
Another "gu ritual" of "opinions" begins. I'll repost in the next "pregame" thread too. https://strawpoll.com/7MZ0klJA8gohttps://strawpoll.com/40Zm4okqlgahttps://strawpoll.com/e6Z2Ajz87gN
>>289392496The Gilbert/Eddie dynamic is potentially really interesting, but Sandro definitely doesn't care to explore it that deep. It's easy to forget Gilbert didn't just spawn into reality when Eddie died, he grew up as his son for 20 something years before having to suddenly start becoming "him".
>>289402855Imagine being the perfect specimen and leader of a clan dedicated to eugenics only to end up with Gilbert for a son.
>>289402904In Gil's defense, naming him Gilbert is on Eddie. What did he expect.
>>289403261To british people the name Gilbert is normal, Eddie saw nothing wrong with naming his son that.
>>289393093>>289391347Being a self-aware Russian must be fucking miserable.
>>289393093>>289403786To be fair this is applicable to nearly all governments. It's nice to see how the miserable human experience converges.
>>289403786I know a reasonably intelligent gay Siberian and he is the most depressed/depressing person I've ever met, constantly teetering on the brink of suicide. It's a special kind of hell, I think.
>>289403786It ain't that bad once you learn to go limp. I've been chanting "It is what it is" for the past 5 or so years and it works like a charmAvoiding social interactions with "less aware" individuals is also a great help
>>289403786How is it any different than being a self-aware American?
>>289404348Well at the moment you can see the famine in six months coming but can't do jack about it.
>>289404348Americans have to deal with outside people looking in and have them be very opinionated on the matter as well.
So there's no difference.
>>289404373>>289404348Is it that big a difference you're not even allowed to criticize your "great leader"?
