Chapter 362:The Fighter And The Refuser
Big chapter today
>>289396410This page fucking rocks.
>>289396410Omega's just baiting to be used as reaction images.
>>289396410SAVE ME RYUKIIIIIIIIIII
>>289396410The way the hair is overshaded compared to every other instance of Cosmo's hair this chapter and the 3D feel of the skeleton tell me at least the skull + hair is AI here.
WHY IS HE SO INSISTENT ON HOLDING ON TO THAT STICK
>>289396477>To be honest with you, I don't give a damn what happens to Tokita or GaohWow... he's just like me!
>>289396535Do you not hold your wood when you are hard?
>>289396560Do you know what can be made with "stones"? A "wall"!
>>289396560>Before guns, stones were the main weapons on the battle field>Armoured knights chucking stonesI don't think Itagaki could run this by me Sandro. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>289396560Does Sandro not know that swords and pikes and spears and bows existed. Also plate armour only came into common use when fire-arms were already around. Bizarre take and a bizarre visual.
>>289396612ai made an oopsie
>>289396560Look at AI Knight #4 in the bottom right. Dude is going for the big one.
>>289396608>>289396627Hatsumi is so fucking dumb.
>>289396660>everyone's just running away>"not on our side"what the fuck
>>289396627>HE GOT A STICK? I BETTER GET OUT OF HERE
>>289396686I have the oddest feeling he's been replaced by a Worm look-a-like. He's never really been THIS creepy.
>>289396740HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS THE HYPE IS UNREAL!!!!!!!!!1
>>289396740Cosmo's too rational for his home-verse. In a competition that's a transparent ruse to allow the entire Kengan Association to simultaneously jump Shen, they've gotten it into their heads that they should injure each other in grudge matches while the antagonist in question goes unharmed and unbothered.
>>289396560ChatGPT really likes rock throwing lately.
>>289396410Is this going limp?
>>289396775Lihito can't possibly lose this, right?
>>289396775If Sawada wins, it just means Rihito is still weak. If Sawada loses, it just means ballet is winless and Sandro's attempt to sell it as a feat of athleticism is unfounded. Brilliant matchmaking.
>>289396410>NO>Don’t take the bait.This page has edit potential
>>289396796>sandy beachthis is practically sumo home turf
>>289396774I am a little bit hyped this time, yeah...
>>289396796Kiozan's probably winning this to make up for Ohma humiliating him. It's a classic 'Traditional Japanese Martial Art beats Vile American' fight.
FIN
>>289396775HOT and SWEATY mating press sex with Sawada
>>289396808it's a 100% going to be second hand glaze for Kuroki as Rihito completely curbstomps Sawada into the dirt
>>289396796>Time to settle who's the strongest of the r1 jobbers!If this happened 300 chapters ago I might actually have been excited.
>>289396560Would apes not have stronger throwing capabilities?
I'm drowning over here
>>289396608
>>289396410Why is Cosmo's left arm shattered?
The chapter was.....good...?
>>289396775Lihito with the dull Omah look meaning "we're a world apaprt, you're no threat to me".SAD! This is lovers being reunited, he should be full of emotions!
I wish Fei and Eddie and Willem were still here, bwos.
OH GOD I'M REFOOOOOOOSING
>>289396796ALL OF MY COINS ON GRAND SUMO
>>289396796This fight will last like 3 pages. Kiozan unironically one shots Adam.
>>289396858YESYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
>>289396928How? A fight got cut off by one member running away, and three other fights got set up that will probably be ass.
>>289396928See the first panel of>>289396410
Was Cosmo always like this?I always took him as a fightfag, not a retard that will immediatly flee from a strong opponent just because of "muh team".
>>289396882Yes, but not as much accuracy.
>>289396854I don't care. I have to follow my heart, I'm betting all my stocks on Sawada.
>>289396775>>289396796Okay, Sen flat out said he doesn't give a shit about Ohma and Ryuki so fine, he can go attack people but these four?>Lihito cares about Ohma>Sawada exists>Adam probably cares about Ryuki...? He seemed chill with Ohma too>Kiozan probably respects Ohma after their fight unless he's salty like that
>>289396790Cosmo operates off of IRL logic, Hatsumi operates off of meta logic (one of them needs to make a breakthrough to become as strong as Shen by beating other people). Shen cannot be beaten just by weight of numbers.
>>289396792>>289396640>>289396637Whats with all the AI comments?
>>289396992He was an empathetic nice kid that just so happened to get off on winning fights (not fighting them, winning them). It's not unreasonable that he'd take issue with someone throwing two of their friends under the bus to get their combat rocks off. It's a fighting manga to the reader, but from Cosmo's POV they're all working together to beat a superhuman monster only for it to devolve into pointless contests between their own numbers.
you fags will complain about anything, but the current forest arc is actually pretty decentlike this fight, the character interactions were nice, the choreography wasn't bad. genuinely, i think every fight so far was at least "decent"the whole motivation for this arc is stupid as hell (saving ohma and ryuki) but at least the fights are pretty good
>>289396928It was pretty neutral all things considered
*HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF* IS R1 AKOYA STILL FOLLOWING ME *HUFF* *HUFF* *HUFF*
>>289396923Damage from the kicks against the tree
>>289396882No.Their shoulders are built wrong.
>>289396948Adam is tough
>>289396796Adam is going to get raped here.
>>289396714Whoever holds him will gain points
>>289396714I have a bad feeling about this Carlos bros
>IMPOSSIBLE>INVINCIBLE>NO IMPOSSIBLE>NO INVINCIBLE>NO>NO>NUH UH>YES HUH>JK>ORLYSandrovich!
>>289396775Good RiLito reaction to Sawada, I like that
>>289396882They could throw heavier and farther yes, but they'd tire out after like 20-30 while humans with our "ability" to "sweat" could toss 50-100
>>289396883Truly madness encapsulated.
>>289397067I don't think it's good but it's definitely an improvement on the RCT. Some of the fights have been utter dog shit (Raian/Gaolang, Toa/Jurota Ryuki/worm and Haruo/worms) some have been solid but interrupted (Cosmo/Hatsumi and Liu/Le Banner) and some have been just meh (Julius/Gilbert).
>>289396934Look on the bright side, at least Fei made his exit while this manga still had a smidge of soul left. Just look at what happened to poor Nicolas.
>>289397121I see...
SEEEN THERE'S STILL ANOTHER CHAPTER! SEEEN DROP THE (KNIFE)STICK!SEEEN PLEEEEASE!
I want to FUCK KiryuI want to FUCK FeiI want to FUCK SawadaI want to FUCK Xia Ji
>>289397043Daro uses AI (not in this chapter)
>>289396934Killing them looks even stupider in retrospect since any of them would have been more compelling than random worms
>>289396882Not really. Human tendons are better at storing energy similar to slingshots. That and our shoulder blades are situated lower so we're worse at climbing but have greater range of motions. Even our hips and wrists are unically suitable for the throwing motion.Humans evolved to be a biological slinghshots, no monkey can do that the way a human can
>>289396587>He took off his device, so I can't find him1. That's not his device (backpedal)2. Yes, you can find him, because he IS wearing his Imai device.You literally just won't even try looking.
>>289396796I believe in Adam to rebuild his rep here.
>>289396808I don't see howSawada has been a non entity since he got shitstomped by Julius in Asura, meanwhile Lihito has basically been the side protagonist with all the leveling up he's done since his loss to Falcon
>>289396636No people really did used to just huck rocks at each other on the battlefield, why wouldn't you? If you aren't in sword fighting range you don't need to bring anything they're just there and they're effective harassment tools if nothing elseMore commonly they used Shepard's slings though, you can do real damage with them and they take no trainingAlso Plate armor wasn't super common because it cost a fucking house to make and needed to be tailor made, it's just visual short hand, having a bunch of blokes cutting about in a gambison on the bottom page wouldn't be as visually effective.
>>289397147>implying
>>289397178Yeah, dude looked at the watch being thrown in the grass and didn't bother checking his own until he wanted to tell the time
How could the author remove Gaolang from the tournament so early?
>>289397205Hey now, he's the actual winner of the Berserker Bowl... That should count for something?
>>289396992Well at the end of the Akoya fight I thought he got the crazy drive to want to win. So he’d be less inclined to run, but if he thinks not turning on eachother will produce better results for beating the Worm, I can’t fully blame him for not buying into the eat eachother for exp strategy.
>>289396824>Drone cameras>Flying over 100% of the fightersAnd the fighters can't "find" the others... why???Like, just, look up. See that drone, hovering right there (in the canopy of a forest, fuck you Sandro, btw)? Yeah.
>>289396686>>289396714>Sen is looking at his watch>actively sees Cosmo running away>somehow doesn't see Carlos approaching
>>289397001>>289397084>>289397134>>289397174Huh neat, that all makes sense
>>289397261The drones have ummm uhhh visual cloaking technology.>>289397274FASTERTHANLIGHT
>>289397222The truth will forever remain a mystery *raughs*
>>289397222>Gaolang just retires after losing his watch because you gotta respect da rurus>No one else gives a shit
>>289397241That's what I'm saying?
>>289397222To keep in line with his track record
>>289397162
>>289397332
>>289397356Sawada was based here, and in his attempts to fight Meguro and Julius
>>289397178If you assumed Cosmo was observing you and waiting to jump you you wouldn't risk checking your watch either
So, will Carlos actually win this one?
>>289396928are you retarded?
>>289397577Nah he's right. For once I felt something other than apathy and hatred
>>289397618kill yourself, Daro
>>289397702Calm down okay?
>>289397702Meds
>>289396627>defining arc in Ashura was about not hesitating to do whatever it takes to win the fight>runs away
>>289397822He's not gonna win anything by beating Hatsumi
>>289397577>>289397702What is your problem? No one is trying to fight you, so calm down you shithead.
>>289396410https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVjk5nrb_lI
>>289397309Why is Gaolang the rules victim now? What does Sandwich have against the Thai God of War?
>>289397896He doesn't speak Japanese.
>>289397332Do you think he'll accomplish anything of note before the manga ends?Even "The Icy Emperor" has had more impressive showings by now.
>>289396560>>289396636Sandro knows that what he wrote for the bottom panel is bullshit, but he doesn't care because he needs some kind of a flimsy justification for this rock-throwing scenario.
>>289397867It'll help him scale the wall.
>>289397178SHUT UP! This is actually a good chapter though! I eat shit for breakfast!
>>289397937He defeats Lihito here. He scales the wall.
>>289396627>a fighter in a fighting manga refuses to fight>>289397274STOP ASKING QUESTIONS, DO YOU WANT SANDRO TO TAKE ANOTHER WEEK OFF OR DO ANOTHER RULE RECAP
>mfw we get to see more of Cosmo wrestling in his shorts
>>289397958Stop being passive-aggressive, retard. No one is forcing you to like it, so don't think for a second you will force me to dislike THIS chapter just because you are an unhappy low IQ moron sperging out.
>>289397875People having any opinion other than violent impotent fantasies about killing Sandrobitch make me think my entire internet persona worthless. Please bear my projection for a while.
>>289397141>(Raian/Gaolang, Toa/Jurota Ryuki/worm and Haruo/worms)raian vs kaogaolan was good. the rest is filler shit so you can't even count thatnic vs liu was also pretty good, even if one sided
>>289397984>PDFtsumi grabs Cosmo by the shirt to THROOOW him>Cosmo rips his shirt off trying to avoid the grab>Hatsumi takes off his gi>"Heh, now it's fair Cosmo <3 neither of us have garments to use against each other
>>289396934I wish Fei and Xia Ji and Cosmo and Xing all fought together at the same time and they wrapped their legs around each other in holds and their form fitting outfits were really thin and would tear very easily and it was raining and they were all wet.
>>289396410Why cant kengan always be this good? Cool art and actually interesting fight?
>another gu ritual
>>289397067>i think every fight so far was at least "decent"Waka vs Himuro (the fight with zero tension in it because nobody even for half a second would think Himuro could put up any real fight) was decent?Jurota vs Toa (throw throw throw throw I'm not gonna get thrown this time, but OOPS actually I did get thrown) was decent? Julius vs Gilbert (one of the most humiliating fights in the series) was decent?Ryuki vs "LE DON'T ASK QUESTIONS" Worm was decent?Gaolang vs Raian was decent? The fight that was just purely filler and had one of the most pathetic endings ever? That was decent?Kokuro jobbing against Shen? That's decent?Falcon jobbing against Yan? That's decent? This fight between Cosmo and Hatsumi where Cosmo didn't even want to fight is decent?
>>289398144>This fight between Cosmo and Hatsumi where Cosmo didn't even want to fight is decent?Not him, but yes.
>>289397757>>289397784>>289397875die, daro, die and take your AI with you
>>289398164>one chapter of them talking>the next chapter is of Cosmo avoiding a fight and then taking off his watch at the end and pretending to actually want to fight>then a few pages of Cosmo throwing rocks, hiding and then running awayYes, very decent fight!
>>289396883>looks like eels are on the move
>>289398125>fight ends with THE HERO running away like a cuck>"Why can't it be this good?"back to r*ddit or comikey
>>289398170>die, daro, dieI have seen trannies speak like this before, just saying.
>>289398104Sandro missed a prime opportunity to subvert us once more by ending this fight with a violated Cosmo laying on the ground quivering.
>>289398232>trannies are actually attacking known BLM supporter cuck darowow! I hope they all die with him
>>289396934Believe in Dodo and Johnny
>>289396796I feel like Kiozan has been on a jobbing streak? Or was it only that one time against Ohma? Somehow feels like he’s lost more since then, but my memory might just be faulty.
>people honestly compliment the fight, because they liked it for one reason or another>someone rages>from this point on, false compliments arrive to enrage/bait>raging continues until bump limitI blame the first guy
>>289398271Kiozan proved he was the strongest round 1 loser in Kat.He then had one fight against Chiba where he one shot him.Then he fought Ohma.And now we are here.
I like Adam so I hope he wins even if it doesn’t make sense
>>289398293>false compliments arriveNo one is doing this though. It's just one guy (who insists he's really not upset) who has been having a complete meltdown because 2-3 posters had a lukewarm opinion of the chapter.
>>289396608>Anon waiting for hassad
>>289396775I know I can't expect much of anything but Sandro PLEASE at least make this kinda decent. I honestly like Sawada.
>>289398223>it's shit.... because it didn't play out like i wanted it to!99% of all the complaints in these threads are exactly this shit. you people are all low iq vermin, i swear. subhumansi don't even like this series but you people are insufferable
>>289398354I am just supposing what is happening. This is 4chan, people bait.
>>289397577He is trapped in the "web"
>>289398368why haven't you killed yourself yet, daro? do it! DO IT!
No, it's shit because 80 percent of the "fight" in this FIGHTING MANGA didn't involve any actually fighting, and it ended with one fighter insisting on not wanting to fight in this "battle royale" (alleged) arc.
>>289398368Rihito vs Falcon was exactly this. It was a fantastic fight, but because Rihito didn't IMMEDIATELY win after his training arc, people were swearing off the series
>>289398368>i don't even like this series but you people are insufferable/thread
>>289396660>>289396690Yeah I'm not sure how to put into words how I feel about this page.
>>289398422stop talking to yourself to try and gaslight people into thinking any of the purgatory fights were good, holy fuck
>>289396928Broken clocks and all that
>>289398421Alright, you didn't like it, that's fineI didn't like Ryuki's fight, that was terrible
>>289398232crazy obsession. Seek help
I get the feeling that some people are just really bored right now, so they're doing the one thing that anons with lots of pent up aggression like to do, which is to pick and maintain random fights. I shan't participate in this tomfoolery. See you all in a few hours when the daily dump begins anew. Hopefully you all will have cooled your jets by then.
>>289398452Hayabusa's fight was good, though?
>>289398452You can keep pissing and shitting yourself all you want, but most of them were good. Omega's first big hit was Ohma's return, but the true downfall begins with Edward's death. And it only recently KIND OF picked upIn other words, kill yourself you stupid whiny nigger
>>289397618Vicarious embarrassment?
>>289398514>t. tranny
>>289398540HAHAHA look at this sandrobitch nigger simp, kill yourself and your family you worthless sack of cells. Hell, take your goddamn country with you if it's producing things as retarded as you are.
>>289398579Behave.
>>289397004I miss Asura...
>>289398590Stop feeding him, anon, you're acting like a total nutrient
>>289398579>this doo is THIS offended that someone had a single positive thing to say about a retarded series about fistfightingi bet you're in every thread every wednesday lmao
>>289397984Hatsumi is never beating the allegations.
>>289396560Someone please replace "stones" with "shit" and pixelate the rocks
>>289398594It's hard to express with words but I really Sawada.
>>289398634of course I laugh at Kengan Omega every wednesday, as does everyone on /a/. Are you stupid or new?
Omega has always had good moments and fun character interactions, that’s what keeps us here, but let’s not forget the entire setup for this battle royale is nonsense and every time an actual villain shows up everything goes to shit.
>>289398681
>>289398717
>>289398692>as does everyone on /a/Today was just nice, nothing to laugh about but >>289396660
>>289396714one of omega's best "new" cast
>>289398734
>>289398717The facial art for the characters in this page is amazing! I don't understand why Daro thinks this art was worse than his current one
>>289398739nope>hide and seek >wooden stick >rocks>"WE CANT HECKIN FIGHT IN THIS FIGHTING MANGA">every major character is running away>"soldiers used to throw their poop and rocks before guns were invented"
"I" can smell the "barbeque" in this thread.
>>289398717Sawada's CEO is under-rated.Everyone focuses on shark teeth ass, not enough attention is given to the tanned goddess.
>>289398766a true warrior
>>289398750"THIS IS THE FIGHT TO THE DEATH I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR""AIIIEEEEEEE GODLANG PLEASE DON'T HIT ME I MIGHT LOSE AAAAAAAAAA"
>>289398833
>>289398796here's another (you) since you're trying so hard
>>289398750He was cool for like 1/4 of his fight then immediately lost all his aura with that dumb capoeira
>>289398859
>>289398681I tend to like kick/leg-oriented fighters as a given, but he also embodies one of my favorite character types: an effeminate dude that's got a serious temper/potty mouth. Very fun.
>>289398890Ballet... strong?
>>289398890
>>289398872Piss off, sandrobitch. No one cares about how good you think your own manga is. Stupid cunt.
>>289398894>an effeminate dude that's got a serious temper/potty mouth.Toriko?
>>289398766Nikaido was so fuckable in AshuraI'm not even gay but good lord
>>289398803It's more like she basically completely disappears and that Sandro forgets about her.
>>289398939Sunny was/is great, yeah. I need to finish Toriko though, sadly wasn't able to keep up with the storytime.
>>289398717That chairman almost looks cursed by today’s standards
>>289398950i got news for you
>>289398988You missed out. That last Toriko storytime got wild near the end. If you take a look at the archives after you finish, you might still be able to see the OC anons made.
>>289398921It sucks he gets basically nothing except an L from Falcon.I like Falcon but I feel like Sawada could have taken his place in the story.Sawada joins purgatory and he Lihit9 step out to beat each other out. How hype would that be? It could have ended the same with a close fight where Lihito loses.
>>289399104Your news is fake news unfortunately since Nikaido is completely sanitized and boring in Omega
>>289396364That title really sums up the whole fortnite arc huh.
>>289396796ALL MY MONEY ON ADAM!
>>289399342Because character motivations are all over the place>Fight to stop Shen from taking Ohma and Ryuki>Shen being Shen, accepts these terms>For some reason, a prize is given at the end (anything within reason)>Pretty much anyone is allowed to join, even though even during Purg fights the lineup was carefully considered (Kazzy still let a quarter of the team be murderers)>Worms basically throw their own fights and are restricted to do anything>Kengan fight each other for increasingly bizarre reasons (not of them are actually about the prize)
>>289399438>Kengan fight each other for increasingly bizarre reasonsDid you miss the part where only the top scorers are allowed to continue?
>>289396775I will forgive a lot of sins of Omega if the fight ends in sex.
>>289399469I didn't, but that's just one. Raian attacked Gaolang not because of that. Toa and Arashiyama fought because Toa wanted a rematch. Sen wanted to fight Cosmo because he thinks feeding each other so that the survivor can have the most EXP is a good idea.If they really wanted to do that, they could've just outright surrendered against fighters who are clearly stronger.
>>289396560THEFUCKINGENGLISHLONGBOWA BOW, THAT IS LONG, AND THAT SHOOTS ARROWS. EVEN IF NOT THE ENGLISH LONGBOW ITSELF, BOWS EXISTED, CROSSBOWS WOULD EXIST TOO.THE BOW IS SUCH A UNIVERSAL CONCEPT THROUGHOUT HISTORY IT HAS EVOLVED FROM SCRATCH ON ITS OWN IN SEVERAL PALCES THROUGHOUT SEVERAL ERAS WITH NO INFLUENCE ON ONE ANOTHER. YOU HAD BOWS IN THE BRONZE AGE DAMNIT SANDRO YOU HACK.
>3 more 1v1s...
Threads aren't usually this shit. I'm leaving. See you guys in the daily / next week when hopefully we have less shitflinging about thread opinions.
>>289399527Nah bro, the hundred years war was clearly fought by two sides of plated armies throwing rocks at each other (main way of fighting before firearms)
>>289399527Bows are incredibly hard to use, require a ton of strength to pull and a lot of training to aim. Teaching the farmers to toss rocks or hold pointy sticks is easier.
>>289399527The point of the arrow was unfortunately referred as akin to a knife so the entire arms race of the middle age went astray.
>>289399578That's why the church banned crossbows.
>>289398988https://desuarchive.org/_/search/subject/Toriko Storytime/start/2024-01-01/order/asc/https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/273135084/#273135084https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OfIZ3gJmAM
>>289399603Arrows were the drones of the middle ages?
>>289396928The action was ok but I don't like moralfaggot Cosmo.Sandro is teasing three fights but the last time he did that (Waka/Fei, Muteba/Niko, Raian/Edward) he went 0 for 3 so I'm not looking forward to it.5/10 chapter I guess.
>>289399527Did a bow defeat Golias? I don't think so
>>289398520>>289399543This really is a gun ritual....
>>289399196>>289399629I was having a blast with the few threads I was able to make it to, so there's definitely no question that I'll be reading via the storytime threads when I can commit some time.
>>289396560The manga devolved to one dude throwing rocks to someone with a stick...
>>289396587He just loves that stick
is this reporter itagaki's self insert?
>>289396608The power of the stick made Hatsumi arrogant
>>289396660sandro actually visits these threads cuz that literally was the leading theory of what was going on
>>289396660>I put the device on my ankle>on the same page watch clearly not on his ankle
>>289396686since when was sen this rapemaxxed
Dubs decide which fight Gilbert is gonna crash and consume both fighters like nutrients.
>>289396854sawada specifically evolved to leg lock his victims during sex
>hatsumi not realizing cosmo just ran awayLmao. Also is this the first fight with real choreography and not punch spam in 50 chapters? No wonder it ended so quick
>>289399931Since the start, the guy was hanging around schools looking for high schoolers before.
>>289396714DILF yaoi
>>289399984This week's chapter was longer
>>289400013That's based, though?
>>289398232
>>289397274Carlos already got eliminated a while back but because he's not a bitch like Gaolang he just continues fighting for the love of the gameBITCHlang is the only guy that immediately quit once his watch was broken
I just had a very Sandro idea. What if instead of Raian vs Gaolang we got Medel vs Gaolang II? For the whole fight, Gaolang batters and mauls Medel until Medel suddenly snipes Gaolang's wrist, making Medel the winner. Gaolang then murmurs about how he is still far too green while Agito, Kuroki and Shen who were watching nearby muse about how awesome Gaolang was and how he was the true winner.
>>289400152The premonition is reversing
>>289396796It would be absolute bullshit if Kiozan doesn't one-shot Adam. There's no reason why a guy who made a gigatank like Seki black out should ever struggle with a shitter who got neg-diffed by a twink.
How would he do against our heroes?
>>289400240>neg-diffedLol. Lmao. Any good hit could have killed Cosmo. Kiozan can't bounce people off the pavement like a tennis ball like Adam can.
>>289400152Could work, but would just make look Gaolang worse since he's never learned to actually keep the rules in mind. This is turn will create the powerscaling character "Gaolang 'I don't give a shit about the rules' Wonsawat".
You've got it all wrong, nya.
>>289399522>Raian attacked Gaolang not because of that.to be fair raian is the one character where him chimping out over nothing is 100% consistent with his characterization as an insufferable akoya-tier murderhobo
>>289400249>SHEEEAA-*bang* *bang* *bang*You can tell this guy grew up in a gated community because he thinks gay kitchen knives will do shit in a home invasion.
>>289396686>Hatsumi contracted jobberspeakHatsumibros... I don't feel so good...
>>289400349Why wouldn't thsy do anything, assuming they're sharp?
>>289398890Why can't Sandro generate this kind of impact in pages no more? Even for a jobber like Sawada this is a sick page
>>289400310>akoya-tierShut up. Akoya is JUSTICE.
>>289400349Kitchen knives are sharper than knives used by soldiers which are basically just blunt weapons.
>>289400393Because robbers usually bring guns? And the ones that don't will bring huge ass machetes that has a longer reach than a kitchen knife. This isn't the 1930s anymore.
Why doesn't anybody have sex in Omega?In Asura we had Kazzy fucking a prostitute and Muteba being a blackedraw ad, but in Omega there's nothing.
>>289400442>usually bring gunsNot always. And even assuming they did you'd still have the advantage of knowing the home layout and being able to ambush. There's plenty of videos of cops getting stabbed to death even when the assailant is initially in sight. Knife > gun at certain distances.
>>289400013yeah but that's a different axis of sleaze, he was more trying to be smooth and genuinely seduce them while now he's just like "i'm shoving a finger up your butthole now okay :)"
>>289400496Sandro is fucking everyone over every chapter and we get mindraped as well. Might as well call this a hentai comedy manga really.
When will this happen?
>>289400546Could you imagine what it was like to put that worm tattoo on someone's eye in that Lolong backstory chapter only for them to job out and die in their first fight? All that effort for a stupid tattoo being completely pointless? The worms tattoo artists must be suffering.
>>289400546Mukaku reveal I guess?
>>289396992Cosmo simply doesn't buy the rpg terms these retards are babbling about
>>289400546We already had an eye worm tattoo
>>289398422I wouldn't say fantastic - it drags early on and the ending sequence is a ripoff of Cosmo Vs Akoya - but it's solid. >>289398452Rihito/Falcon and Liu/Nitoku were solid fights.
>>289400654He wasn't half worm though.
>>289400349kek
>>289398093No it wasn't it was stupid, Raian fought completely out of character so Gaolang could look good and Gaolang's watch broke to stop him from having to lose clean.
People wouldn't like Raian if he did something like this to Gaolang even though he forfeited the fight.
>>289396882Not even close.
Medel will win.
>>289400948>Purgshitter vs kenganvengerlol
>>289400965Sen is tampering with his meta-protection barrier by acting like an unwholesome rapist and positioning himself as an antagonist, so it's open to interpretation now if he fully counts as one here.
>>289400827People currently like Raian?
>>289400496Because you can't generate sex on whatever AI Daro uses.
>>289400965Medel is currently undefeated onscreen, btw.
>>289400965Medel, Lolong and Jurota are honorary kenganvengers
>>289401120Medel deranked to B tier OFFSCREEN
Fuck it, it's been a while since "we" trained our "foresight", and "we" are not in "perfect sync" on these fights. https://strawpoll.com/7MZ0klJA8gohttps://strawpoll.com/40Zm4okqlgahttps://strawpoll.com/e6Z2Ajz87gN
>>289401147Please understand, he needed to derank so he can farm EXP better since he's using a new build. Like it or not, this is a completely salient explanation of it.
>>289401147And Hatsumi struggled onscreen against the legend Kaneda
>>289396934Fei was unironically too powerful and would have won any fight
>>289396449Cosmo king of pussies.
REALLY SEKI? THE #1 PERSON YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO FACE IN KENGAN IS KIOZAN? NOT KUROKI, OHMA, RAIAN, KANOH? NAH KIOZAN,?????????????????It's been like 3 years and that line still pisses me off
>>289401243To be fair, it was the prog rock of fights. I'd be confused too.
>>289401326>top 5 person I wouldn't want to face
>>289396775>Rihito vs SawadaHonestly as much of a faggot as he is Sawada is a cool character, I'm disappointed Sandro's kept him in the jobber bin and never let him grow. Sad to see him get stuck in a match he can't possibly win as his first bout of this BR.
>>289401418>Sad to see him get stuck in a match he can't possibly winBegging for a subversion?
>>289401326It's not like he faced them personally to say for sure. Or did he? I remember his fight with Ohma but that's about it
>>289401418>>289401427He's gonna scale the wall. Trust.
>>289401326Grand Sumo... is strong.
>>289401427Can't remember the last time Sandro threw a subversive curve in Omega and didn't pick the most predictable outcome for a fight, but I'd like it this time because I like the funny ballet man.
I need more of Gilberts "nutrients" maxxing
>>289396627The king of faggots Imai Cosmo
>>289401442Anon, Seki fought Kiozan in Asura.>>289401462I'll call you a liar if you tell me you called how the last 5 fights would end.>Oh my touchless throws>2 examples of FLEEING>An actual clean win>Didn't get finished off
>>289401418He's like Murobuchi, surprisingly fun minor Ashura jobbers who just have zero plot ties or obvious direction to improve in without betraying their character. I'm still annoyed at Murobuchi's literal ONLY role in Omega being to get hospitalized offscreen by Akoya, and then going "LMAO WOULDNT IT BE FUNNY IF YOU PUT HIM IN THE NO KILL TOURNAMENT? HE'S GOT MY VOTE"
The only person who actually seems to be "scaling the wall" and unlocking bullshit powers is jurota everyone else is just fucking around
>>289401487I mean the rest
>>289396514>Aikidocuck can't believe his shit workskek
>>289401508Reminder that it was Murobuchi himself who recommended that Akoya join KvP.
>>289401521No that you mention it no one else has seem to have gotten any power ups despite all the "wall scaling" going on
>>289401473He’s recovering and stewing in his own seething rage right now.
>>289401575Does identifying the gaps in the gaps count? Kaneda learned that spiderweb shit too. Koga has stolen 36 moves without permission as well.
>>289397213>interpreting
Who the fuck told the kenganvengers about the term scaling the wall again?
>>289400827That would make me hate Raian slightly less actually because it would be hilarious.
>>289401658It was me, sorry.
>>289401658It was part of the "infection"
>>289401658The fightan noosphere put that in everyone's brains automatically.
>>289401658Nobody. Yan only used the term in his mind, but all Kengan characters share a collective unconsciousness.
>>289398452I have rarely been as entertained by a fighting manga as I was with Fei vs Wakatsuki, I'll tell you that much
>RUNnoh FRAUDgito>RUNmai FRAUDsmo
>>289401658Who else, but... "That Dastardly Fiend." - Shen Luohan.
>>289398422>but because Rihito didn't IMMEDIATELY win after his training arcYes. If characters didn't go fucking irl years between fights, perhaps it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but it is in fact incredibly disappointing when a character gets a well built up training/improvement arc, returns after a timeskip, then just loses again and vanishes for years again.
>>289401487Jurota vs Toa was an incredibly easy outcome to predict, Sandro loves Jurota. How exactly he would is another matter but that fight was settled when they squared up.
>>289396608>>289396909Imagine if there was a fighting manga where fighters(and sometimes warriors and athletes) fought
>>289397026Lihito isn't instigating to be fair, Sawada is just coming for his cock.From the dialogue, Kiozan is the one starting their fight, and for that one, who knows.
>>289396928Retarted wojackposter!
>>289401835Redundant post is redundant
>>289396560His teachings are spreading.
>>289396992>>289397060>>289397257The thing to me though, is that Sen has proved beyond any doubt that he is not going to be talked down. So why is Cosmo running to "warn" people, as if he can somehow personally sprint around the island warning every single other Kenganvenger before Sen finds someone else to rape, instead of taking a stance of "fine then, I'm taking you down right here before you attack anyone else"?
Kiozan is destined to beat at least one fighter with a ringout, that's what sumo is all about. I accept that the medal is useless, but elimination zones must play a role at least once!
>>289401884>Implying Omega could ever be based enough to make one of it's characters into a PROTECTOR.
mfw waiting for lolong to appear and do something that will top his previous feats of retardation
>>289401928Longlong vs Johnny chopstick (fei clone) soon
>>289396560Sandro you moron, people used bows and crossbows long after they stopped throwing rocks.
>>289401928Hey last time he whooped Agito's ass really bad and he only lost to plot
>>289401928I expect that when we see Lolong, he'll either be squaring off with Kuroki or just having "consumed" some irrelevant supernova, nothing in between.
Anyone keepin a track of all Keng/a/n Fortnite era OC for the posterity?
>>289402040My boy Num Nut is getting sacrificed...
>>289401928Lolong is going to rekt some shit fr fr>>289402030Agito is such a faggot with his fat culo. I bet Lolong could go elbow deep in that thing.>>289402040Kuroki is scared of the Donaire.
>>289402077"I" catalog virtually all the "shitposting art memories" created by "us", don't worry.
>>289401884Because Cosmo is a little twink faggot and would prefer to get his bussy smashed instead of his face.>>289401918Motobe is too based for Kenganverse.
I'm a cuck
>>289401508There's a fair bit of characters that get no screen time while other characters get a surprising amountLike how Himuro is constantly used for espionage and tracking missions despite the fact he's just a Jeet Kune Do practitioner. He's given all sorts of connections and the skill to track down nearly anyone. But someone like Sawada, who is the rival to the main characters rival only gets so much screen time when that main characters rival gets used and since Lihito doesn't get used much Sawada gets put in the bin. Also doesn't help that Falcon is around Lihito more often and he can be qualified as Lihito's Rival since he started bumming around Kuroki
>>289402297Koga...
>>289402297Imai...
>>289402297Every character I dislike...
>>289402297Obviously not Sawada
>>289396775Why does Sawada look so mating pressable in the top panel?
>>289402516If I put eyelashes on a paperbag you would want to fuck it.
>>289396796
>>289400965Jurota already showed that a literally kuroki tier purgatory league guy can beat a kenganvenger. No one else though, only kuroki's can and Medel is a literally kuroki.
>>289396612Yeah IIRC slingers were around but they were never heavily armoured since they needed to run around a bunch.
>>289402557Don't project, "me". I don't go crazy over every floozy in Omega like Xing and the Wu twins and such like some of "us" do.
>>289402516Sawada prepared two hours for this fight.
>>289402297Rei...
Why the fuck is Carlos considered "literally kuroki" level again?
>>289399578Actually it's a real bitch and a half to make a good slinger. Not as much of a pain in the ass as longbowmen but still not "here hold a spear" levels of easy.
>>289402754Because he's a super duper boxer who somehow made being the Worlds fastest Pillow Puncher work before getting belted by Gaolang
>>289396796Adam boys we're making our comeback heere and noee. The tournament was a warm up for the real show
Wait, isn't it statistically impossible to get through two whole chapters wielding a knife and not job? Sen might be actually strong to recover knife reputation singlehandedly.
>>289402705>I don't go crazy over every floozy in Omega like Xing and the Wu twins and such like some of "us" do.Deprived of a good plot we search for satisfaction "elsewhere".
>>289402754He has 5 limit breaks on his Speed stat.>>289402842It's made of wood so the hex efficiency is very low.
>>289402754Because he was supposed to be the Kuroki of boxing until Sandro nerfed him, potentially mid match, because he couldn't comprehend the idea of a lightweight beating a heavyweight and had no idea how he would possibly portray it.Anyway, onto Yumi vs Misasa in a few rounds!
>>289396883Imagine how big this image will be in 2 years (one third of the way through the tournament)
>>289402898>Half of Alisa's bio is just talking about referees that won't be appearingThank you Sandro, that's definitely what I wanted to know.
>>289402898It's time for Yumi to suffer the ultimate humiliation. Being beaten by a woman
>>289402953Is this real
>>289402927funny how it managed to not have the biggest keng/a/n infohazard
>>289396796I’m a big fan of Adam but there’s no way he wins here unfortunately.
>>289396824Wow that’s me! That’s literally me in the top panel! I’m cheering for these three fights!
>>289401773the baki dou adaptation was so aggressively shit it makes me mad just thinking about it
>>289403008yes
>no gilbert vs someone fight set upShit chapter
Hassad soon.
Im kind of excited for next week if Sawada will continue to look this sexy. Sandro grew to put ladyboys in appealing positions like with XiaNext couple of chapters could be pure sex
>>289401427Don't get false hope. Some characters are just doomed to be eternal jobbers and can only pull off offscreen wins against featless nobodies and Sawada wasn't even given the grace of that and even Chiba got to have those. We'll be lucky if he gets a "wall scaling" moment.
>>289396686How many people has he raped?
>>289403342Which fighter do you think will forget the time and zone restrictions because he's too busy fighting
>>289403022you mean got it all wrong?
>>289403357One so far this tournament.
>>289403444>FUCK WHO THE ARE YOU
>>289402898>because he couldn't comprehend the idea of a lightweight beating a heavyweightBut he could comprehend a featherweight (Misasa 68kg) demolishing a super heavyweight (Yumigahama 148kg). Unfathomable what he can fathom.
>>289403365No one. Next question.
>>289398894Alternatively violent feminine girl with a potty mouth like Chris Yukine
>>289403484>You see Katahara, there's ways where a smaller fighter can make up for the size difference>Just punch this rock loleHe didn't even bother explaining why.
>>289398125>>289398368Cool art? Interesting fight? Most of Kengan Omega's art is by DALL-E or Stable Diffusion, and this is no different. When you actually look at the choreography of Cosmo vs Hatsumi, it's beneath most of the Round 1 KAT matches, and comparable at best to the Berserker Bowl's choreography.You didn't even mention the overarching plot hanging like the blade of Damocles over every little thing happening in this tournament. This fight is happening within a context that Sandro doesn't know how to handle, and that drags everything down.The fact that this Fortnite battle royale is supposed to be all about Shen, and most of the fights we've seen basically completely ignore that is pretty bad. There is still no sense of things happening in the background. All the new rule changes are still dogshit, and Nogi's new rule to incentivise infighting especially. Fifty years or not, are we supposed to be looking forward to Ohma and Ryuki getting their brains harvested? Wouldn't it have been better if the Kengan fighters just sparred and trained with each other instead of engaging in Gu ritual larp to prepare for Shen? Wouldn't it have been better if Sandro didn't add that shit about levelling up and gaining experience points? As it is, fighters like Hatsumi actually have a good reason to be selfish, but it's super weird that fighters are even aware that this is a thing at all.The plot surrounding this entire arc is still genuinely terrible and Sandro can't make up his mind on what he wants his fighters to do. This little thing about all the fighters getting selfish and going their own ways is too little, too late. If this fight is "good", it's in the sense that it avoids some of the common pitfalls the manga has been falling into for the last hundreds of chapters. But it doesn't actually do anything good. The fights feel like filler and this is no exception.
>>289403444Man he really did get the Xia treatment
>>289396410HEHEHEHEHEHE
>no daro, he needs to look more rapey
>>289396790>>289399438The thing that drives me crazy is all the communication issues that must seemingly exist between the characters because there's so many disconnects.Some Kengan fighters want to save Ohma and Ryuki by defeating Shen. Except Shen's plan to hijack their bodies won't even start for like six decades. On top of that, Shen offered to give them as many chances to defeat him to save Ohma and Ryuki as they want. There's no reason to feel so pressured about winning now when they probably have hundreds if not thousands more chances to 'save' Ohma and Ryuki.On top of that, Shen stated that all they have to do is provide him with an interesting fight, not even necessarily defeat him. Which is why they then designed the rules so that everyone is incentivized to deliberately not fight Shen.What are we even doing
>>289401533More like someone doing it against him
>>289396660>Hatsumi is just throwing hands>TRAITOR, HOW COULD YOU?
Sandro robbed us again.
>>289403690This madman is really being held back.
>>289396477How many scoops is Cosmo on?
>>289398051You somehow sound even more retarded than this malding dude.
>>289396627>He ran
>>289396775Sawada is on the job again
>>289396790>>289399438>>289403661You have to remember Shen is strong enough to beat everyone by gently tapping them.Scaling the wall really is their only hope. Funneling as much exp into one person as possible so their stats get high enough to survive that bullshit. We're operating by RPG rules now.
>>289398271Kiozan wins a lot of fights but it's mostly off-screen, and even though he jobbed he looked better vs Ohma than Lolong imoAdam has a way worse record than him, I don't think he has any chance of winning unless Sandro is in another one of his moods
>>289398033But wouldn't a low IQ moron be the kind to like Sandro's writing?
>>289396824Why is Cosmo the only one that's running from this?It clashes completely with his Ashura personality
>>289403930Win or loose I just need to see Adam limbo under Koizan's E.Honda tackle and counter punch it
>>289397314Crazy that Sen is more violent than Raian now
>>289403894>Shen is strong enough to beat everyone by gently tapping themWrong my HERO survived a full power shen punch and will win the rematch.
>>289398368Is this the same anon who posted the previous>there are GAY ANONS in these threads!!! LEAVE!!!!meltdown?
>>289403977Now that im thinking about it does this mean luohan is currently the second strongest character besides maybe "he is just like the connector" ohma.
>>289401326You don’t expect a professional wrestler to be honest/candid in front of a camera or in public do you? He’s fanning the flames of a rivalry to entertain the people.
To Sandro's credit, the characters do get stronger after every fight.In the KAT, Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3 Cosmo were all different characters despite accumulating a lot of damage with each round.The characters in universe are just abusing this mechanic.
>>289404033>abusing this mechanic.Its called "scaling the wall"
>>289404001Kuroki had a minor slapfight with Shen and did okay, but Luohan remains to be the only one to consistently survive Shen's punches. Mukaku doesn't count since Shen specifically nerfed himself.
>>289403972Scarier too
Speaking of ohma how the fuck is he supposed to scale the wall now since its been established if there is to much of a power difference you dont get exp?
>>289399834Might be a stand-in for a friend.
>>289404094He'll have to turn off his brain to make it a more even fight
>>289404033I think that's a bit specific of an example, Cosmo's whole thing was being a super young gigaprodigy barely starting to tap his potential. And Ohma was already as strong as in the finals, he just forgot(lol). And Agito's whole thing was evolving improvements, until Sandro decided that was too hard to keep writing in Omega.Those three are the standouts and have specific, well explained reasoning for why, most veteran fighters didn't really do this, Waka, Kuroki, ect. Even Rei who was still fairly young and growing himself didn't magically "scale the wall" between rounds on his own, that was an external boost from Rino.But in this tournament, Sandro wants us to believe that yes, this 40-50 year old hardened martial artists can suddenly progress more than they have in the past couple decades in a single fight.
WHERE IS MY DAILY? COME ON, DAILY ANON!
>>289399929its clearly under the socks, dingus
>>289404147Hatsumi followed the OP into a dark alleyway and they never found the body, only the fluids.
Why is Keng/a/n so gay? We could've had cute girl ryona but you're wanking it to Cosmo
>>289404001So you're saying...Luohan is literally Kuroki
>>289404372>Cute girl ryonaFrom what people have recently realised, there's only been like 3 instances of women getting hurt in the entirety of Kengan and that includes Asura.
>>289404372
>>289404372I'm wanking it to Sawada, thank you.
>>289404372When could we have had cute girl ryona in this scenario?
>new Honeybee comes out next week and will mog the hell out of Sandroshit
>>289404509A bunch of Kure women is asked to join and all they're good for is being beaten up by Chopstick Johnny or #4.
>>289396636Lamellar, the armor of the Roman legions, was plate armor. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about
>>289404412Naaah since he "evolved" and did something that shen didn't even recognize mid fight he is now on "he is just like the connector" level
>>289404372>ryonaEww incel fetish.
>>289402297ryuki...
>>289404668But it's suddenly okay when it's on an effeminate guy?
>>289404683>ryona loon can't fathom people reading fights not to get offYikes. Besides, the guy's six feet tall and absolutely ripped. He'll be fine.
>>289404372why would i watch girl ryona? am i supposed to self insert as the woman?
>>289403977In a better timeline Luohan would have killed Shen after years of Shen underestimating him>Luohan asks for the Data of your memories so he can get stronger>Give him access to it because you have so little expectations of the man actually becoming a threat>He kills you anyway specifically because you underestimated him and now he's laughing at how dumb you are and how he'll finally get rid of this dumb lineage How much more fun would Luohan be if he was a self-hating Zesty man who recognized how dumb and evil his bloodline is and everything about wanting to become God and kill Shen was just one long con murder suicide
... Daily?
>>289404744You self insert as the woman beating the other one
>>289404001Still weaker than Eddie according to Shen’s scaling
>>289404762Luohan actually killing Shen in that fight would have been amazing. Actual subversion of expectations, and would set us up with a brand new (supposedly) actually dangerous and threatening antagonist who's out to wipe out the rest of his bloodline and then himself, not out to teach them magic breathing to stop aging so he can possibly do brain surgery on them in like 50 years unless he changes his mind again during that time.
>>289400013You always bring that up, but Hatsumi is only 5 years older than Shion.
>>289405019it's a negligible difference for adultsbut loser behavior for 20 year old men
>>289404536The Kure loli oneshots the Supernovas
What if Itagaki was forced to write Shen vs Ohma and Sandrovitch Raian vs Yujiro
>>289405497Itagaki GOODSandro BAD
>>289405497Itagaki would probably just do a retread of Yujiro vs. Baki. The context is arguably even the same. Sandro would have Yujiro take one punch and then he immediately rips Raian in half. Yujiro would then spend the next 4 pages complimenting Raian and how it was a close match.
>>289405741Fuck i meant to type Jack vs Yujiro
>>289396560>Can't even be bothered to prompt cavemen
>>289396714Is this "The Real" Carlos Medel?
>>289405062How is scoring beautiful young women loser behavior? (Assuming you're not a homo)
>>289398681I feel the same way. I tried typing it out just now and gave up.
>>289400827No one likes Raian thoughbeit
>>289405741>then he immediately rips Raian in halfNot possible. Yujiro would compliment Raian and Raian and it would get interrupted before anything interesting happens. They "leave it for later."
>>289398675
>>289396740>>289396775>>289396796>"There were others seeking out fights with people on their side">"Three of them are about to begin!"So we go Hatsumi vs Eldorado, and Adam vs Kiozan, pretty good match ups, but who do you think the third pair is going to be? Why didn't he show any other fighters?
I believe in Adam Dudley. Carlos? Not really but he was cool so I want him to fight another guy. I want Lihito to make top 10 somehow.
>>289396796So many replies haven't scaled the wall.Kiozan is way stronger and Adam's a jobber who's never won a fight. This means that Kiozan is so strong he'll lose and Adam will use his losses to grow stronger to win.
>>289408168>Adam's a jobber who's never won a fight.But Himuro... he was on just shy of the legends...

>>289399527The fucking English longbow required life-long training and not everyone had good aim. The entire point is that rocks are what you use if you can't use a distance weapon, simply because they're good enough for anyone who has arms.
>>289402898Need an edit of Alisas profile talking about how she thirsts for blood after KvP
>>289403110It was excellent
>>289396560You guys are way to eager to shit on Sandro sometimes. It takes 5 seconds of googling to confirm that Knights threw rocks at each other
