baki vs kengan
yeah its baki
it's pretty fun in baki tournaments how a lot of western characters have japanese names
Kengan is brainrot for the soul
Not even kengan fans like kengan
The crossover established the Yujiro is LITERALLY Kuroki and therefore Shen obliterates him
>>289417299Well Shen is DBZ tier
>>289417299Makes sense. Can't beat literal magic.
>>289417299Doppo was also literally Yujiro tier tho
>>289417299Gaia was also literally Yujiro tier tho
>>289417299With or without schizophrenia?
Yujiro and shen are strong but the true strongest fighter is the wall
>>289417589literally spider man-tier
Kengan?
>>289416817This is genius. Whoever made this, I salute you.
>>289418424It was a bit of a collaborative effort
>>289416817None of you have caught onto my real "destination" yet.All it took was a sailing app, and twenty hours of practice..A boat is made out buoyant materials. Is that boat INVINCIBLE? No...Why is the boat sinking? I'll leave it open to interpretation.*Reaches for the paddle "SHYEEEAH"HOWEVER, there was a second vessel.The BOAT... Misfires..That hole in the boat... It's holding down the point of force... IT'A JUST LIKE THE CONNECTO-...
>>289418803This meme just keeps on evolving. I hope the guy who made the picture considers adding some of these.
>>289419245Nothing stopping any of us from editing shit in and reposting it as the newest version. We're all "me" after all.
>>289416249Both can't tell me who this Koga thing is.
Perfect ending:Koga beats Shen just barely and wins battle royaleHas an epilogue rematch fight with Ohma
>>289420425That is correct.
>>289420425yes.
>>289416817Kengan x ШКЯ crossover?Genius.
>>289416941Kengan fans will happily explain and argue why their own series is dogshit in every possible way.
>>289420975Why? If they hate it so much, then can't they just drop it?
>>289416817>Now that's what i call a perfect sink
>>289420425Literally us Bakifags, we are gaslighted into believing and slurping Itagaki's schizophrenic ramblings to the point of making it our own lifestyle and way of thoughts.>>289421116It's like One Piece fans and One Piece, nupiece doesn't own a candle to old piece but we watch it for the love of the game and to know what the hell the One Piece is.
>>289420425Very charming drawings on the side, very simple but portray the emotions wonderfully.
>>289417299Anyone established as literally Yujiro tier is weaker than Yujiro.
>>289419884I am terrible at recognizing fonts and I don't want the new additions to stand out. Is it in CC Wild Words or something else?
>>289420551This is unironically one of the best manga panels I've ever read. It's such a great view of strength.>>289421116Why would "we"?
>>289421116because Kengan is a wall "we" have to scale, "me"
>>289416817holy fuck
>>289418803>>289416817Also needs "Tch! That's a shitty hull."
ehm I HATE NIKO STYLE thank you for your attention
>>289416817Wonder what the japs think of our kengan shitposts.
>>289417299Nonsense, Kuroki beats Shen
Kengan still wants to pass itself off as being 'realistic and gritty' while Baki never even tried to feign a semblance of realism, Kuroki is Doppo-tier, a man who achieved the peak of karate and can sort of fight Yujiro as long as Yujiro is playing around and not using the demon back. Baki would annihilate Ohma without needing demon back.
>>289421116It unironically is not that bad anymore. It deserved the flak during purgatory but it improved a lot since. That is not to say that it's leagues worse than Asura and still poorly written overall - Kenganfags are just unironically mindbroken and trapped in a negative circlejerk where they HAVE to shit on everything because that's what they've been used to for a long time.
>>289416356I can't think of anyone except the McGregor expy.
>>289422920I hate the Kengan community and I still think this shit is ass I just keep reading out of inertia.
>>289422920>It unironically is not that bad anymore. It deserved the flak during purgatory but it improved a lot sinceSurely you're joking. This has to be a joke. It's infinitely worse than it ever was during Purgatory. The Real Champions Tournament is worse than 10 Purgatory's all alone by itself in its sheer lack of any entertainment value. Anything 5 chapters or before is soft-canon at best.
>>289421116You wouldn't get it
>>289416817Water... Is truly fearsome!
>>289417299You've got it all right.HOWEVER.Motobe would PROTECT him.
>>289416817>water is....strong
>>289422423>>289418803>>289423392massaged some of them a little
>>289423831>this is just the beginning of a massive search party
>>289423831>If I put my dick in this hole, the boat won't sink anymore. In a way I've beat the ocean with my cock.
>>289421116because Omega is not just standardly bad like something like CSM 2, it is transcendently terrible. There are layers upon layers of bad to uncover and enjoy. And the best part is whiplash you'd get every time a page from Asura is posted, the absurd difference in quality is nothing short of unbelievable.
>>289422920>it deserved the flak during purgatory but it improved a lot since
>>289421116I like the art and characters and honestly the worst parts elevate it to this strange meme quality that’s very unique
>>289423008Why are you still reading it if it truly went from unreadable to even worse?
>>2894241391. Sunk cost fallacy.2. The memes and shitposting. 3. Hatred brings people together so there's a sense of unity in doing it all together.
>>289424139I don't read it, reading is for the weak. I just look at the images and make my own headcanon.

Baki vs. Any Dio Tier JoJo Stand User
This manga is so gay lmao
>>289425343Wouldn't regular Dio stomp him? With the freezing and the eye lasers.
>>289422920Purgatory (appropriately) is only middle tier in terms of arc quality in Omega. The Berserker Bowl is probably the only arc after Purgatory that I would consider flat out better
>>289416249I actually think in terms of pure fight quality Kengan has a higher peak than Baki because no stretch of Baki fights is better than the madness of the KAT which had non-stop excellence for 30 or so fights in a row (with like, two stinkers). In every other way Baki is better. And even now it's less offensive even if it's spent months spinning its wheels, because Omega has spent years doing that.
>>289425763>Berserker BowlWhat was that again?
>>289425862The mini-tournament after the Hunt for Xia Ji arc and before the Inside arc, and probably the last time Kengan could be considered unironically good.
>>289425899>BB>GoodIt's a tournament arc where half of the fights were basically skipped and there's only a couple of good moments while Ryuki's character regresses.
>>289426115"A couple of good moments" puts it solidly at the top of post-Ohma Omega. By a very wide margin.
>>289425586He'd liquify/jab/roundhouse kick blitz Dio before he could even yell Za Warudo
>>289426115>half of the fights were basically skippedThese are just the small fights that don't matter too much. It's absolutely fine to skip those but still have a lot of them as it builds some sense of scale and "realism". I wont say it's perfect, it has flaws, the morality system is weird, but it's definitely a part I enjoyed and would call good. I looked forward to it and wasn't disappointed during the daily.
Honestly, I love both Baki and Kengan. Even though Kengan threads are schizophrenic asylums now
>>289420551Really hope after Grappler Baki Eng translation is complete we get a official translation of Garouden. Only translation available to read is wildfag.
>>289426279They lack purity and control. Schizophrenia can be harnessed and controlled.
>>289426465What happens when a schizo hones that ability? How strong does he get!?
>>289426330the wild fag garouden translation really isn't bad
>>289426279I obviously know it's edited, but still, that page doesn't ring a bell at all.
>>289416249Since schizophrenia is a superpower in the Baki universe, the average Keng/a/non would be stronger than Yujiro.
>>289426330Itagaki's adaption of Garouden is just below the Maximum tournament and the Convicts arc for the best thing he's ever done, imo.
>>289426881Convicts drops down hard after Dorian. Pickle and Musashi are easily better.
So how many artwork-changes did Itagi go throught? There's ''Long Legs'' then ''Bronze Skin Age'' and ''Squished Bulldog Breed'' arcs. What would be next?
>>289427231Trapmaxxing but we've been there for a while.
Hassad soon.
>>289426715How strong? Before I answer that, I've gotta explain to you a lot of things. Schizophrenia is like an inner fire. If you let it burn too much, you get burned; if you don't let it burn, you feel cold because you live in a cold reality. When I say Keng/a/nons lack purity and control, it's because they let themselves get burned by their fire then get frozen by reality, so they try to fuel the fire by any means possible, thus lacking purity. They live in their own world but inside our world, thus lacking control and taste defeat. Baki/a/nons are different. Some of them possess inner peace achieved through pure fighting spirit. Everything for them is a fight! Including against themselves! They fight their schizophrenia in order to embrace it like embracing the inner fire and becoming the fire! Thus being pure! By becoming the fire, they warm the cold reality; they allow our world inside their world! Them and schizophrenia live in harmony; they transform a disability and illness into a source of pure strength! How strong is that?! A Keng/a/non can speak the most rational thing, but no one would believe him; but a Baki/a/non can say the most insane stuff that the gods allow mankind to comprehend, and everyone would believe them. Baki/a/nons can imagine themselves as Baki characters and become like them by training like crazy! Thus being in control! So how strong are Anons who mastered schizophrenia? They would be strong enough to do something that only God can do. They would be able to warp your perception of reality and make you wonder if you're the insane one. That's how strong they are.
>>289416817>No sueprman syndrome boat.
>>289426330I'm not sure if it was just because it was a WF hackjob but I really struggled to get through Garouden. The cast feels extremely generic outside of a few guys like the longhaired karate prettyboy, the angry ex-boyfriend, based Mas Oyama expy and Crybaby.
>>289422920>It unironically is not that bad anymore.Is this gaslighting? Improved at what? KvP is better than everything that has happened in Omega since, except maybe the Berserker Bowl, but that doesn't have the same entertainment value.Modern Omega is literally barely even hand-drawn anymore. Everything feels like filler. The villains are jokes and the """heroes""" are protected pets to an even worse degree than during the KvP. There is no sense of continuity, direction or progress and the manga feels like it could end either in a dozen chapters or a few hundred. Someone else before me said that anything five chapters before is soft canon - it's actually closer to a panel-by-panel basis. You can find a chapter directly contradicting itself within a page.I have no idea how anybody could read Omega and walk away thinking the later parts are BETTER than the earlier parts.
>>289422974You don't have to follow the threads as you do it. Not sure what you find bad about the community when it's genuinely the best part of experiencing Omega, without it I would have dropped the manga by now.
>>289427589S-such strong yap-fu... I almost believed that you're schizophrenic...
>>289422920Wild statement to open with. The people who enjoy both the Purgatory tournament and current Omega are more consistent than anybody who hates the tournament but somehow enjoys modern Omega.All the problems you observe in Omega's first tournament arc are present in later arcs, except they also coexist with new issues that further cause the manga to "descend" the "abyss".
>>289427760Honestly it probably is the best community I've been in online, from the edits to the mutual comisseration to stuff like Convict Colosseum which was probably the best martial arts manga available to read in the year that most of its chapters dropped.
>>289427825I would argue it's genuinely among the best communities on /a/ simply because of how productive it is, there is always a constant stream of OC and actual discussion. /opm/, whose manga adaptation I almost place by Omega's side in terms of quality, can't even dream of producing what Keng/a/n produces.
>>289427863I wish some of the generals on /a/ I lurk was productive as the Kengan one...
>>289422920Wow you sure know how to bring all the boys to your yard, barbecue anon.
>>289425846I highly disagree with you on the KAT. The only reason I loved reading the KAT is because I did it before discovering the Maximum Tournament arc.
>>289427863Frankly, it's the only "general" in /a/ that actively makes edits and shit. Other generals tend to just steal """""memes""""" for twitter.
>>289427863I mean lately we've had at some points 3-4 Kengan threads with hundreds of replies and this is a series that most readers would agree hasn't been even close to good for almost 200 chapters. It really is an impressive level of resilience. The Raian crazyface also managed to break meme containment.
>>289426330Then you're in for a good surprise mate, because there's a new translation based on the italian release underway.>>289426881I personally rank Garouden as his best work. Best martial arts manga hands down.
>>289428045Raian face edits was spammed like crazy on /opg/
>>289428037The Maximum Tournament arc is simply not as good. If you compare the earlier fights the KAT absolutely crushes it because the KAT will sell you on absolute jobbers whereas the Maximum tournament is completely fine introducing a guy as "Ivan Taktarov, Sambo" and then having them lose immediately. The only guy who gets oneshot in the KAT is one of the most memorable fighters in the roster.Also the KAT just has higher peaks, none of the MT fights are as good as Agito/Kuroki. *None of them*. I'd also hesitate to even say any of them are as good as Gaolang/Agito, or Muteba/Seki. Average KAT fight quality is ahead too.
>>289428095I could name a dozen martial arts manga better than Garouden.
>>289427589Schizophrenia is how you achieve enlightenment
>>289427825Pinakanaka was a true hero. CC started during the dreadful real champions tournament which was arguably Keng/a/n's most bleak period. 5 straight fights in a row that are exactly the same. Even CC's stompfest round 1 is preferable to RCT's entirety. >>289428037Maximum Tournament loses several points because pretty much all of round 1 has only a few decent fights and the rest are boring stomp trash. A few are even offscreened. The boring stomps even escalate further into later rounds like with Shibukawa and Koushou, or Retsu and Katsumi. >>289428106Not a single fight in the KAT is as good as Baki vs Jack. Don't kid yourself.
>>289428126I can name one liar, (You)!>>289428106We're not gonna agree on that I fear. I don't care about being sold "jobbers", I want good and believable fight choreography and Kengan has always been a bit too "shonen-y" for me to truly love it. While the best fights of the KAT (Seki/Kiozan and Agito/Gaolang) are indeed excellent and easily on the level of the MT, a lot of the fights had me groaning at the obvious plot-induced weakening (Waka somehow struggling against two martial art novices), or the stupid autism about "Pre-initiative" and "delay between style changes" (Agito v Kuroki). And that's on top of really mediocre writing choices like Agito losing his cool evolution skill, or Ohma asspulling new techniques as needed.
>>289427589Your autism is... Strong.
>>289428225Even aside from happening during the RCT CC is simply a legitimately great comic experience that holds up. It's also well paced even if I think it starts to lose energy later on into the run.I agree with your analysis of the MT in general but I will defend Shibukawa Vs Koushou as not a stomp (though Shibs only survives because of a 50/50 chance and a glass eye against a guy who shouldn't have even made it to R2) and Retsu Vs Katsumi (which is a perfect choice for a stomp as a twist going into the semis).Agito Vs Kuroki is better than Baki Vs Jack. It has much, much stronger choreography and whereas Baki normally has far greater thematic resonance than Kengan I don't think it's particularly apparent there.
>>289428233Not counting Baki though if I did it would absolutely be on here and not treating separate segments as their own manga:1. Tough2. Shamo3. Kengan Ashura4. Cestus5. All-Rounder Meguru6. Holyland7. Teppu8. Ashita No Joe9. Tekken Chinmi10. History's Mightiest Disciple Kenichi11. Hajime no Ippo12. Red BlueI think all of these are better than Garouden. Baki fight choreography is not really more believable than Kengan and Ashura is actually very consistent mechanically. Julius is no more a martial arts novice than Hanayama is and Muteba is no different from Gaia except he occasionally wins fights. Foresight is absolutely developed over the course of Ashura to become a key part of the Agito/Kuroki fight, and Agito doesn't lose evolution until Omega, and Ohma's asspulling is not as obnoxious as Baki's lol didn't hurt.
>>289428233>I don't care about being sold "jobbers"Why would you not want to care about the fighters you're reading about? This is unfathomable to me. Even Baki sold you on the characters of Iron Michael and Chiba Shiharu who are way behind the stronger characters. It's not like Baki doesn't try to do the same with weaker fighters like that other Russian guy and his training, but he's beaten too easily to really let it set in.>Waka somehow struggling against two martial art novicesIs this not hypocritical? Hanayama is an even bigger amateur at martial arts than Julius by an enormous amount and yet Katsumi still somehow struggled with him, with it being lamented that Katsumi basically "lost" 3 times because Hanayama doesn't bother to finish things (never mind that this isn't consistent with his introduction where he tore a guy on the ground apart despite it being unnecessary). Chalking Muteba up to just be a "martial arts amateur" is also very disingenuous because the guy is clearly a great fighter. If he wasn't, his whole career wouldn't work in the first place. He just doesn't train at a specific martial art, he's still very knowledgeable on fighting. >>289428290>(though Shibs only survives because of a 50/50 chance and a glass eye against a guy who shouldn't have even made it to R2Shibukawa calls him an amateur. The glass eye also should have damaged the inside of Shibukawa's skull from him doing it. Koushou also doing it via punching his own hand instead of just doing something like Yujiro did was dumb.Baki vs Jack also has much better choreography. Greater emotional resonance too. There's no "gaps in switching" nonsense. No formless retcon either.
>>289428442I fucking love Chiba Shiharu and his fight against Baki was integral to the father v son fight and also one of the best ones in the manga
>>289428442>The glass eye also should have damaged the inside of Shibukawa's skull from him doing it. Koushou also doing it via punching his own hand instead of just doing something like Yujiro did was dumb.Yeah but it doesn't, but the fact that Kosho is even in a position to do that is a sign that it wasn't a stomp, had he chosen the other eye Shibusawa would have just died.>Baki vs Jack also has much better choreography. Greater emotional resonance too. There's no "gaps in switching" nonsense. No formless retcon either.The gaps in switching make complete sense, the issue here is that Baki Vs Jack is basically just two guys brawling, Kengan has had more mechanically deep stuff going on (at least it did, when this stops in Omega it's concurrent with the fight quality cratering), foresight was built over the entire manga. Formless isn't retconned anyway, they already explain its weaknesses and why Agito needs to junk it and him bringing it back to overwhelm Kuroki's foresight is a brilliant twist and Kuroki finding a solution to that is also a brilliant twist. It's just a really excellent fight in a way not a lot of manga could do whereas Jack Vs Baki doesn't feel as unique apart from the piss scene.
>>289428500Chiharu sucks ass, he takes up way too much screentime with his shitty gimmick I just want someone to punt him into next week, if I wanted someone to just miraculously survive a million things that would kill them I'd read Out.
>>289428518>Formless isn't retconned anywayYes it is. It started as Agito creating a new style on the spot to beat Gaolang, to shakey arms noodle/"berserker state". Against Okubo it wasn't even really treated as a different style. Just Agito trying a bit harder or maybe knowing what to do.
>>289428569I will say the shaky arms turns up a lot after the Gaolang fight as a shorthand that he's using it but that's about it, the idea that it's an adaptive martial art is fairly consistent. He just never uses it as consistently after Gaolang because the decision anxiety slows him down so much and it's more efficient to use either his martial arts mode or constantly swap to throw people off.
>>289428442>Is this not hypocritical? Hanayama is an even bigger amateur at martial arts than JuliusIt's simple really: Hanayama is a great character because he's the romantic ideal of a yakuza, complete with reference to how bakuto were inspired by the samurai honor. Meanwhile Julius is a one in a million designated gymrat jobber, except that for some fucking reason he sticks around like a bad smell. Hanayama's ignorance of martial arts comes from an honorable belief that those blessed to be already strong shouldn't train, while the /fit/ pandering faggot gets his back blown out regularly yet never learns, only to get wins handed to him through plot armor.
>>289428403You're either taking the piss or have tastes completely opposite of mine. But that Kenichi entry really reads like a joke.
>>289428403>Agito doesn't lose evolution until OmegaAt this point you're really just lying.
>>289427589>They live in their own world but inside our world, thus lacking control and taste defeat.I have never felt so cucked by one sentence. Well done Bakigger. (I dont have many baki memes)
>>289428609This is ridiculous to say when Hanayama has the thickest plot armour in the series, he never trains or bothers to develop a different gimmick and remains relevant via miraculously getting stronger for no reason whatsoever Julius is a rare example of a muscle guy who genuinely feels threatening, even against Waka who is also super strong and who is a black belt in karate Waka has to pull out all the stops to scrape a win. >>289428635Agito is literally evolving up until the point Kuroki breaks his hand in his final Ashura fight. >>289428621Kenichi absolutely shits on Garouden, don't let the fanservice confuse you there's genuinely never been a better training focused series and the Ragnarok arc in particular is extremely strong. Kenichi has more memorable characters introduced in the first five chapters than Garouden manages over its entire run. If you don't like Kenichi because it's goofy or whatever then fine but I gave 12 for a reason, Garouden is simply not that special.
>>289428609I'm not arguing that Julius is even fit to kiss Hanayama's feet regarding character, but as fighters, there's no reason to lambast Julius yet still be fine with Hanayama who fights in an even dumber, more one-dimensional way than he does. Even other characters see how easy it would be to dodge him, yet they just wait for it anyway because it's so stupid they can't believe what he's doing.
>>289428683>Julius is a rare example of a muscle guy who genuinely feels threatening, even against Waka who is also super strong and who is a black belt in karate Waka has to pull out all the stops to scrape a win.No. I instantly lost all respect for Wakek in this fight. Struggling this hard against a gymrat with almost no weight advantage would be ground for getting kicked out of any serious Karate dojo.>>289428683We indeed seem to be polar opposites in terms of martial manga taste. I don't even consider Kenichi worth reading, and you consider it better than my favorite. Interesting, I'd really enjoy understanding how what do you value in martial arts manga.Not happening today though, I'm going to sleep.
>>289428769Julius is like twice Waka's size and none of Waka's punches except for Blast Core can even stagger him. Waka winning in spite of not enjoying the advantages he's had his entire life is a sign of his skill as a martial artist. On Kenichi - I value stuff like:-good fights and martial arts choreography -good art-good, well written characters -good story (plot, themes)In some of these areas Kenichi doesn't score that highly for me but there's genuinely not an area where I think it scores lower than Garouden except for art, and in particular the character category is a slam dunk for Kenichi. Kenichi has non-combatants that I like more than any Garouden character. But it's not just Kenichi, again I like a lot of manga more than Garouden. It's simply not that special. It took me like five tries to even get through it.
>>289427589Jesus Christ man you hit it out of the park. This truly explains the magic Itagaki pulls out with his work.Someone screenshot and save this post.
>>289428042Baki has a good track record too, but the thread for the last chapter was obnoxious because of what it was focusing on. People here just can't do political discussions properly.
>>289429019Doesn't help that Itagaki decided to do two political chapters in a row for no reason
>>289428095>No really good manga sites left for scanlatorsFuck so that explains why the lack of updates for a lot of works on all remaining sites. I usually do the Baki Physical Release highlight dumps in the Baki Rahen threads just to celebrate the English Volume releases and I noticed there wasn't any update this month. Wanted to just download a chapter or two but then this crap happens.
>>289429123Basically you've got Mangadex if your series is lucky enough to be under the radar and then it's a wild west outside of that.
>>289416249That's gonna be what happens to Adam next chapter
>>289427690 The boat has superman syndrome, that's why it lost to the lake's water kata.
>>289421116>can't they just drop it? You've got it all worng.
>>289416249Baki has had basically zero plot ever since he got bored with the sumo but that's still better than the fucking horrible plot that's being going on in Omega.Fightwise they've both been pretty bad for a while but at least Jack's arc of using biting and suplexes has been kinda fun.
>>289424766kek
>>289420425I legitimately agree with this though.
I read both and I think kengan is more entertaining (good or not aside, because you know it's not good)every new chapter you hit a new and unexpected low, and the meme potential is greatmeanwhile baki is just these same things for all the 5 series, not necessarily in that order>baki doing baki thing>an entire chapter dedicated to yujiro glazing>I won because it was a fight not a match>I won because it was a match not a fight>yujiro got slighted, offender got away with it>yujiro got slighted, offender got wrecked/SHOWN for it>karate.....is strong>TOKUGAWA!

>>289430884I actually think it's serious and not satirical.
Why is baki so Oedipal?
>>289416817>a shame, right? the boat had superman syndrome and everything
Does Omega still have hot bitches in the volume extras/dust covers
>>289423953>And the best part is whiplash you'd get every time a page from Asura is posted, the absurd difference in quality is nothing short of unbelievable.And Asura wasn't even that good, mind you. The plot of Asura is about as poorly written as the standard Omega plot, it's just that it actually gets told all the way through rather than being interrupted or off-screened, and overall there just is less plot in Asura. The fights are great and everything else is ass, but it's okay because you can just focus on the fights.In Omega there is way more plot than in Asura, and on top of that the fights are now ass, too.
>>289422768They are probably in entirety isolated from them, but I like to think they view it like we view spic memes
>>289428683>This is ridiculous to say when Hanayama has the thickest plot armour in the series, he never trains or bothers to develop a different gimmick and remains relevant via miraculously getting stronger for no reason whatsoeverMay I butt in for a minute. I never quite understood this criticism. Or rather, I understand it, but find it missguided. Because I personally find power scaling a dull exercise. Hanayama is as strong as he is because of the philosophy he represents. Characters in Baki usually "represent" something, and they do not win or lose fights based on how much they trained (unless their training is part of their narrative significance, i.e. the protagonist training to show his conviction to get stronger), they win or lose because of their philosophies clashing.This, of course, makes zero sense if you see manga as a simulation of reality (because reality does not work this way), or as a fighting game where characters have a certain frame data, or as an excel spreadsheet where you compare numbers. But I personally see manga, like all art, as an exploration of ideas. And Hanyama being strong because of his conviction and philosophy is, to me personally, more interesting than him being strong because of some kind of mechanical explanation (as in, he does a lot of training or whatever).
>>289433178I'm going to sum up this entire paragraph as "powerscaling bad" and my response is this - no other Baki character has this problem. Even Motobe has a pretty clear "sucks unarmed, strong with weapons" dynamic. But every other Baki character is actually pretty consistent with where they are in power rankings. This has actually driven the plots of several stories, like Ali Jr. not being able to beat Jack (which was actually Itagaki changing his plot mid arc because he couldn't see Jack losing to Ali Jr., which is by itself proof that he takes relative power into account when writing) or things like Katsumi/Pickle (which draws from Katsumi's relatively poor record prior). But Hanayama is just allowed to aura farm and never look weak ever. In Kengan we would rightly describe this character as one of Sandro's princesses, but because people love the fucking Standing Man tattoo backstory or whatever he gets a pass. But whether you like him or dislike him he absolutely gets preferable treatment.
>>289427589
>>289434251>i know powerscaling is shit but let's indulge for a moment
>>289434251>But whether you like him or dislike him he absolutely gets preferable treatment.Oh, absolutely, but I see nothing wrong with that.Also, I don't mean to say that power scaling is completely pointless. It is important to have a rough idea where characters stand relative to each other. But power scaling should not get in the way of the story you are trying to tell.It's not power scaling itself that I have a problem with, it is the hyperfixation on powerscaling. Likewise, I do not like the style of manga-reading some people have adopted where they treat manga like sports - aka that everything needs to be fair and follow a certain rule structure, and when your team gets an unfair disadvantage you cry foul to the ref. Sometimes, that unfair disadvantage is the entire point of the story. Of course, I am not saying that asspulls, inconsistencies and the likes are "good, actually!" The majority of mangaka are not good writers. I'd say this kind of stuff needs to be judged on an individual basis. But I am rambling at this point. I don't entirely disagree with you that Hanayama's strength is a bit odd. But I personally never saw a problem with that. That's just the type of character he is.

>>289435693You "believed" he is schizophrenic though. So that would mean he "influenced" your reality.
>>289435693>doubting someone's strengthDo you know how much of an insult it is? In both of Kengan and Baki communities? Do you have an idea of the full scope of calling someone weak? You can insult us with all the names you can think of, all the family members, ancestors, or descendants. Hell, you can even insult us with all the fetishes or curses below the belt you can think of. We won't budge. But doubting our strength and calling someone the w-word is the ultimate insult.Especially by someone who isn't able to win a fight against the word schizophrenia. You seem to be new here so you can rest easy. But never doubt the strength of a Baki or a Kengan anon.
>>289416249>>289420425If Kengansissies just lifted weights instead of arguing you'd be more appreciative of your own manga.
>>289435310His last fight was an interrupted draw against Jack just after Jack beat Pickle. Jack beating Pickle is such an insane achievement in of itself that Hanayama drawing with him is absurd.
>>289434354Getting autistic about how many planets Goku can blow up is stupid, trying to make a story make basic sense is not. But anyway I didn't want to get stuck in the weeds on Hanayama my point was that Julius isn't without equivalents in Baki, Julius is basically the same too and Jack is pretty comparable to Waka (super strong but also with martial arts training).

>>289437570To cast time stop the vampire needs to take action first. Retsu anticipated this and strikes at a speed exceeding the speed of human consciousness thus acting outside of the vampire's "perceived" time.
>>289437767That also makes sense (in Baki logic)
>>289436874Except Julius is closer to Olivia. Acting like Julius is a pure jobber is ridiculous, he doesn't have a bad performance until the RCT.
>>289427589I didn't know Bakifags were so much into spiritualism.

>>289440063Funnily enough, the most consistent thing about that fight is the ultimate move + install buff does no damage to the already defeated target AGAIN
>>289437197it wasn't great, to be honest. There was no bakiscience behind Yujiro's Judge Doom inflation powers, he just... did it.
>>289437767You're saying he moved faster than the "gaps"?
>>289440530I fully except Bakifags to gaslight me with a esoteric explanation of why salt is strong to make me believe that it's the strongest element on earth.
>>289441053I'm pretty sure that eightfold mountain malarky actually *heals* the target, when Edward broke it out on Raian Raian's performance massively improved and so did Julius's.
>>289441181It'a differenr in Baki although the same root concept.In Baki that just means that through training/genetics you get to physically move faster than other people can perceive, since eyes have built in input lag.Retsu can do it because he's fully given his body to technique of the four thousand years of chinese martial arts, so he essentially can win an entire fight without a single conscious thought, entirely with the movements his limbic system has internalized.Not even Shen Wulong could have done that.In general i think Shen isn't a martial artists as much as he is a minmaxxer. He doesn't hold a passion for a school of martial arts, he's above "culture", "honour", "pride" or "reputation".which is why i consider Kaioh Retsu to be greater than him

>>289441589it makes sense when you think about it. purified salt is an allegory in esoterica for when mind and matter are perfectly unified which is how Baki and Musashi can imagine things that become real. this is also why the miso soup being too salty is what allowed Baki to overcome Yujiro

Sandro has little respect for Julius, he's a pure STRfag in a manga that favors principles and cultivator bullshit. See Agito vs Julius for one of the worst stomps in the story. Do you know what it means for Gilbert to lose to JULIUS? And for Julius to not even bother finishing Gilbert off?It's sludge, just pure sludge.

He was so sensitive to any weaknesses that he was unable to look at anyone without focusing on them. Once it was well honed fists, once it perfectly sharpened swords, once it was flying bullets and eventually it was modern weapons. He smashed them, crushed them and over came them!

>>289443912>5 words>5 words is all it took to break an unyielding warrior such as him. How can words break a warrior? Imagine working non stop for your goal, enduring every training, torturing your mind and body. This warrior has a goal set in his mind because he's one of those males who are still pursuing that dream that every male had once! Becoming the strongest man on Earth! As a man, he have cravings! One of them is to be urinated on by a yumejo in order to become stronger! Hold on, how can a yumejo's urine give a power boost to a man? Since the creation of the universe, things and concepts have always had an opposite such as the Yin-Yang or the electromagnetism or men and women. Yumejo's urine is actually full of pheromones and frustration and the longer they hold it, the higher the quality is. This warrior who goes to train every day in the gym is looking for his opposite like the Yin searching for the Yang! Think about it, a woman who never gets out of her house and a man who always trains outside of his house... They are the Yin and Yang! What happens now if this man gets urinated on by a yumejo? ... Bliss. No words on earth can describe heavenly things like that! The female pheromones would trigger something inside the male! Some hidden powers! His wounds would regenerate, his strength would skyrocket, his mind would go empowered! He will become superhuman, something close to a divinity! But the human spirit cannot handle such power and must be protected from acquiring such! But destiny itself had intervened... She said that she wouldn't pee on him.Can you imagine how painful it is for a Baki enjoyer to be denied of the golden liquid?! Those words broke the future union of the Yin and Yang, broke a future event in the universe's worldline, and destroyed potential universes! Words... Are strong!
>>289445901Makes me wonder has Yujiro ever delt with a guy who just doesn't give a shit about him. Like just some random dude who's not naturally impressed or intimidated by his strength and could care less that he met the worlds strongest creature
>>289449065Yuichiro, and he is both narratively and literally a ghost in the story, like a unicorn that confuses even other fighters like Doppo that know about him
>>289441034It is spiritually a snail even though it was born a slug. Through intense image training and slithering forwards to surpass it's limits, it was able to project a "shell" by projecting it's fighting spirit and instincts into a barrier that only the truly strong can perceive. Is challenging an animal so dedicated to simultaneous attack and defence is exactly as dangerous as attacking an armored animal?"NO!" It's actually more dangerous, because the resolve and tenacity of an invertebrate belies a purity that surpasses the merely physical. It is as though the snail's spirit is tattooed on it's mucous, like a standing man tattoo.
>>289449200Based, please tell me Yujiro starts doing some "notice me sempai" shit to get his attention
>>289449442After the Doppo flashback Yuichiro basically disappears from the story as far as I remember. Not just unseen, but unacknowledged. If you are strong enough to ignore Yujiro, you are literally too strong to appear in the ongoing story of Baki after it's narrative thrust ceases and Itagaki just fucks around. It's like being a cultivator and going to a higher realm, which is basically the resolution to Musashi's soul if you accept like in Buddhism the afterlife itself is the higher realm to the living world of Baki. It's not even strictly a powerlevel thing, instances of Yujiro getting humiliated that last longer than a few scenes like the door or sniper-sama or being protected or losing the strength contest with Pickle are basically glitches in reality that the story tries to cover up
>>289449598It genuinely helps that he's the strongest but there's like 3-4 guys "on his level".Story still treats Doppo as no.2, Mushashi would've killed him according to Motobe, Pickle beats him in raw strenght and Baki made him acknowledge defeat.Vs Kengan's Shen who is Just Too Strong Lol and even Luohan WITH martial arts memories isnt a threat.
>>289449700Ye. As strange as it to say about the series where for a long time the whole point was to train hard enough to beat him to death, Itagaki taking Yujiro's "alpha status" less seriously helps integrate him into a story where he is (usually) at the top of the powerlevel, as opposed to Sandro constantly handing out lolnopes and doesn't counts to protect Shen's status while simultaneously defaulting to SoL for him before he even has a chance to be a real threat in the story
>>289449700Doppo is not the N2, as soon as Yujiro brought out the demon back he demolished him. Kaku Kaioh gave Yujiro more trouble than Doppo.Of those guys only Musashi is an actual threat to Yujiro (and even that is debatable), Kuroki has done as well against Shen as anyone Yujiro has fought has done against him.
>>289449774Kuroki didn't have a PROTECTOR jump inbetween him and Shen and then look at the camera and go "Ogre would've fucking died if he took that hit. The manga would end. Mushashi no diffs that man bro "
>>289449821Kuroki actually wounded Shen. Shen was actually doing worse in those exchanges than Kuroki, as nonsensical as it is.
>>289449847I agree. But neither of them were serious...My headcanon is unironically that Shengus is not Kurokitier and principles just looks really impressive
>>289449866I think for me Yujiro is obviously a much better character than Shen and his invincibility is more well earned - and Yujiro is much more fun to watch fight - but at the same time Yujiro's schtick has been going for far longer. Being expected to be impressed by Yujiro is far more obnoxious. Also, while Shen's wholesome chungus attitude is obnoxious, Yujiro has some of it going on too. Remember when he murdered Baki's mum? And has never in the slightest sense apologised for that?
>>289421116I came green to the daily threads, and saw an OK continuation to a pretty good series got increasingly worse in new and baffling ways every volume. Omega is bad but in an amazing way, its like the manga is its own shitpost.
Yujiro and Kuroki are pretty fucking strong but can they defeat Segata Sanshiro?
>>289422897Look man, I thought the same but once Omega introduced ancient chinese mind swap techniques that amount to rambling to a child until they are convinced they are you, it start getting crazy.
>>289449924Baki has more pseud nonsense in it to warrant that. Helps that Emi wasn't like a proper "loving mother" too.Basically he accepted her as an equal, and so had to fight her to death. It's supposed to be like a poetic end but idk. Genuinely valid criticism.
>>289444094I miss Edward so much.
>>289449949canonically weak to zombiesthey just have to bullshit an "undead style" that allows them to mimic a zombie's characteristics (somehow) and then segata will jobalternatively they just buy a saturn and nip the fight in the bud
>>289449774>Doppo is not the N2This. While he was around, Musashi kind of swung between being the N2 and the actual setting-breaking threat depending on how much you bought into Motobe's worldview (which itself wasn't completely unchallenged). Now that he's gone, Baki himself is the NOMINAL N2. There was a point you could argue Pickle was the N2 but because Yujiro unironically "scales the wall" constantly while Pickle just does what he does to survive, only occasionally gives his all against worthy opponents and will shamelessly FLEE from a fight that scares him, narratively Yujiro continues to occupy the peak of the "living" simply because he cares far more about it than anyone who could actually hope to still compete against him.
>>289450123>Shen vs Segata>Shen starts losing>"AH, I see what I'm doing wrong. I'd be in trouble if I kept having a life to take! This is an incredibly powerful style against the living...it reminds me of the time that the 176th 'me' encountered hopping vampires. In order to adapt to your technique, I must use his knowledge and simply stop living">Shen stops his own heart>Suddenly starts winning>Body still moves around somehow>After beating Segata, he restarts his heart with no complications>Yan drinks a whole bottle of tylenol in one gulp
>This sword was smithed to be unusable garbage thats hard to swing>Therefore it's strong?
>>289450389It's weighted armor in DBZ, except instead of raising your powerlevel directly it teaches you how to use Principles/8000 years of chinese martial arts that amount to shaori but narratively elevated above Yujiro-level
>>289450389It's strong because he knows the sword has soul put into it so he gets a autism powerboost.
>>289450480The funny thing is I could see the same thing happening in Baki too, just presented in a radically different way. Actually shit, it DID happen. Remember when Musashi got his original sword back, and it actually, physically readied itself the moment it was in his grasp, and Musashi talked to it like it was a living being waiting to kill in his hand?
I was suprised, there is no complete collection of baki on nyaaSo I will make it myselfPart 1 from the new deluxe editionPart 2 from that media-do co translationPart 3 project ryokoPart 4 and 5 from spinyback teamJust give me a few days to rip the part 4 and 5 from mangadex, clean it (delete credit page for each chapter) compress it to make it .cbz and I will upload it on nyaaa next week
>>289439365Yikes, I sure hope I never argued with that retarded goblina. The Baki threads really are going to shit, who the hell are they even letting post.
>>289450505Member when Mushashi said he could cut down a skyscraper but it would probably dull the blade a bit so he wont
>>289450546Nice, I'll need that.
>>289450546Also, does anyone have a list of the spinoff and know which one are translated ?
>>289450590Member when Oliva said that his muscle density was so compact that if he ever released it his own flesh would smash out of the prison walls and Baki screamed that was bullshit and Oliva apologised?Baki characters exist in a state of quantum uncertainty where their bullshit claims are either true or false, but indeterminable until someone enforces their will over someone else. If you can dominate someone, it doesn't actually matter if you can't fly by flexing your back muscles or something. It is effectively true. Until someone challenges your claim in a way you can't defend, at which point it was retroactively never true. It's like every high level fighter is living in a personal, localised 40K Warp that they control. This is also why Baki image training against Yujiro can make Yujiro react on Africa with no time delay, Yujiro wasn't present in Japan to refute the logic of the Strong and he didn't leave behind a tulpa of his own to challenge Baki. Musashi's sharp samurai spirit means his "domain of conviction" can tangibly affect the physical world more regularly than other fighters, while Hanayama gets stronger over the series (without training) because he localises his claim entirely to the imperceivable domain of his internal flesh and bone durability making it harder to refute.
>>289450764Every fight is a "debate" in the end... An exchange of opinion on what strenght means
>>289450764Lets not forget Retsu peering into a future timeline by fully entrusting himself to martial arts too.
>>289450924>Retsu actually saw his future self in the isekai spinoff after "scaling the wall" against actual supernatural beingsFuark...his "arrived" at his own premonition...
>>289450938His belief in the four thousand years is so great that he literally can't imagine a future where chinese martial arts are not victorious... Thus... He limits the scope of endless possibilities.. and arrives at the singular "truth".
>>289451069>>289450938>Huisheng>Arrival>Scaling the wall>Premonitions>Rpg levelingVs>Believing in martial arts so hard they become a seperate psychic entity that's there to embrace you in times of need.
Since some of you Keng/a/n bros are still here and mindbroken from today's chapter dump, here's a question I was just about to ask before the thread archived:If Shen's original goal was brain transplants for Ryuki and Ohma, then what was the whole point of Naidan goading Ryuki to become a murderer?Ryuki's personality shouldn't matter whether he's a murderer or pacifist. His brain (in the original plan) was getting scooped out anyway.
>>289451283>what was the whole point of Naidan goading Ryuki to become a murderer?There is still not a clear answer. We've seen multiple direct subordinates and all of them are just generic smug men who do Yan's dirty work. In fact, honestly INSPIRING Ryuki to kill seems counterproductive to Yan's stated goal of world harmony.
>>289451380Actually it would make a lot of "sense" if the whole Naidan plot turned out to be a deception by the loathsome Lu*han to "redirect" the Worm's resources and agitate Ryuki, since Ohma himself is L**h*n's direct clone and Ryuki is Shen's making him theoretically a target of spite. Only theoretically. L**h*n thinks nobody actually knows what he's really planning so far
the manga industry is starting to “scale the wall” after Daro showed them “higher heights”
>>289451673This too is a gu ritual. The weak will become "nutrients" for the readership of the strong.
>>289451673>Daro and Sandros Ai autism has spread and infected the entire industry >In 3 years a new term for published comic/manga works will be dubbed "Kenganized"We are so fucked
>>289451901"Evil" is on the move
>>289427589finally a man speaking some sense
>>289441761kengan powersystem is actually extremely prone to integer overflows which is why you can be "too strong", the peak of the verse is actually the guy who has all his stats and techniques just below the maximum, its also why every single 100% removal user jobs horribly, their numbers get too high and loop back around to the negatives
>>289443565fear has been struck into the core of my being, although i want to call upon their name, my body instinctively is trying to pull away from the keyboard
>>289451673>I CAN'T CREATE BY MYSELF
>>289450764>It's like every high level fighter is living in a personal, localised 40K Warp that they control.I remember reading the Talon of Horus and Black Legion books and the main character is straight was straight up a ridiculous wizard doing Baki levels of shit like killing someone instantly or summoning a demon just to kill one guy and then explaining the real life history behind the demon.
>>289421116>go to the pub>the food is shit>the beer is shit>the staff are shit>but the fellas at the pub are funthe best part is the beer and food are free, and I would never dog the fellas
>>289427589Tch, that's a shitty schizophrenia. 'Know your place, boy', (you) have got it all wrong, and are truly too 'green' to understand that a true schizo does not seek to 'integrate' himself, as if schizophrenia is 'just a number' or a 'technique', as only the 'weak' have such need of such things. Schizophrenia simply ENTERs through the 'gaps in his consciousness', gets the 'timing' right and 'arrives'. A true schizo is 'limp' to the struggle, he does not seek to 'grapple' with the idea that there is another 'inside of him', he does not need to 'scale the wall' to 'higher heights' of awareness or traverse the 'deeper depths' of 'The Inside' of the mind, but 'formlessly' is the 'madness', however 'unfathomable' it may seem to a simple baki reader. Purity? Fire? 'Foolish'. Ese mal debe ser 'erradicado', for a true schizo doesn't need to such 'post-initiative' but 'reacts' 'faster than light'. Indeed, the weak schizo cannot 'leave it open to interpretation' but seeks to integrate, while the 'only schizo we need' simply 'leaves it open to interpretation'. I've given you a the 'data' you need to 'evolve' your understanding, 'soon' you will have to choose between remaining a 'nutrient' or 'removing' to '100%' the 'limiter' on yourself and 'COPY'ing us kengan-schizos. Come and join the 'party'. Over and out, me.
>>289446486>the water... moved?!>you've got it all wrong, that's nothing like a hole>you're sinking quickly? too bad, I can sink faster than light>there are supposed to be six scoops on this boat>this isn't looking good for my boatcoins>I can't help, I'm just tired>attempting to plug hole, over and out, me>you'd announce to the entire world that you're a sinker?
>>289421116I've dropped omega since years ago, idk why anons are staying
>>289454373>>You'd announce to the entire world that you're a sinker?Kek
>>289421116It's a Gu ritual that will winnow the strong from the weak. Once Omega is over I'll have all the combat data I need to accomplish "that", until then everyone in the threads is feeding me with "nutrients"
>>289451283Shen's motives change every five minutes it's a bit much to expect the manga to be consistent over hundreds of chapters.
>>289427589>>289454269I read both kengan and baki and I'm ashamed to say I understand all these reference
>>289450764the power of imagination is a form of very limited reality warping.Like the mach punch. By imagining that his bones were a whip they acted like a whip even though they were still rigid
>>289428856based kenichi bro
>>289454269Foolishness, Anon. Foolishness. I am not schizophrenic but born of the autism kind, yet I can become schizophrenic by imagining myself as schizophrenic. (You) as a schizophrenic have been nothing but fooled by my spiritual arts. At the end, all I do is play. I do not seek to become schizophrenic or nutrient, eradicating the evil, scaling the wall, reacting faster than light, becoming pure, evolve my understanding, no. All I want is to play and enjoy myself through the journey! Because someone who works hard can never beat someone who's enjoying themselves! All of these trials will be nothing but child play if I enjoy myself doing them! And I'm having fun with you, kengan-schizos, because you guys are... Fun!I fucking love your post, lmao!
>>289424139The answer is within the question. Do you want to live in a bubble where bad movies don't exist?Keng/a/n is a rich community where people make tons of OC and engage earnestly with the work. It's one of the most OC-enriched threads on /a/. Obviously something's gone very right, and it has an energy that other things like OPM's manga adaptation doesn't have. That's a good thing.>>289424185Considering much of Omega is produced by prompts, even that would be engaging with the work more than its actual writer and artist.But the people here are dedicated. We literally dump the drafts of each chapter to break things down further and analyse the creation of the chapter.
>>289427589>>289454269Keng/a/n vs B/a/ki!Schizo vs Autism tournament!The winner can get the title of Dragon Warrior!
>>289441761It was a Hokuto Shinken technique, Eddie meant for Raian to explode but he fucked up the pressure point and accidentally gave Raian a full heal, +700% crit damage buff, and reset all his cooldowns.
>>289443889Maybe it's a good thing anons don't breed.
>>289427589This sounds oddly similar to the Goma fire ritual from esoteric Buddhism
>>289444021I wonder if Paru grew up afraid of cats because Itagaki told her no man can beat one in a fight without a katana
>>289439632Just use atsu.moe
>>289456558Where does Santa fall into all of this
>>289421116So Ashura really was THAT good and for the sequel series to fuck up narratively and plotwise, and even artwise, as much as it has been allowed is uncanny in this day and age. Fanfiction tier writing. And the best part is that randomly we'll get a 10/10 moment interspersed between shit like>what a shame he had superman syndrome tooendlezs hexxing and glazing. I'm pretty sure in recent release chapters some fights are 19 pages of dialouge and 2 action. Fighter jobs while the winning character says "you were so strong, unfathomable nutrients.." or some nonsense. I love Kengan.
Has anyone picked up the new Chiharu Gaiden?My current ongoing is finishing next month so I was thinking of picking it up but I don't know if spinyback or the Israeli is gonna do it.
>>289456731>the IsraeliWho???
>>289456779Guy who works on Gaia and Silsorky. Can't remember his group name.
>>289456731Didn't that finish?
>>289457475It's another one by the same artist. About Chiharu's childhood.Although the first chapter appears to be him just getting punched by Hanayama.
>>289451283Apparently Shen runs the Worm the same way a failson runs a subsidiary his father gave him. He shows up to major meetings, fucks around and occasionally gives out "ideas" but for the most part the organization operates independently
>>289451673Mujina in the Deep is decent but its' not THAT good to try and hold it hostages so you can be a lazy fag
>>289427589Master, why even with our strength we are still afraid of... Them?
>>289449774Yurjio was murdering Kaku Kaioh even without demon back. After he used it, he casually facetanked and oneshot. Negative effort.
>>289449774You really have to wonder how the Eddie vs Shen fight went. How badly was Edward compliment hexed throughout it?
*pisses*
>>289421116Kengancucks will never admit it but the manga is still genuinely entertaining to read despite all its flaws
>>289451673>the punpun author is a retarded faggot with no confidence in his own abilitiesWow what a shocker
>>289451673He should get raped.
>>289460451Metaphorically, right?
>>289460580
i just want the jack vs yujiro fight alreadywant to see yujiro actually get hurtit's so boring with him being invincible
>>289461947My fighters blood is boiling at the idea
>>289462008yujiro is like friezaimmune to blunt damage but weak to cuts
>>289461947Jack need to do the pp training before challenging Yujiro.
What if Kaioh Jakku fought Yujiro
>>289456550There is a hidden truth. Where? Not telling. Just being told is no good.
>>289454444Quads of enlightenment.
>>289456550Even when making shit up. Bakifags like >>289427589 somehow manage to make things make sense, intentional or not.
>>289457549Why tf does this guy need *two* gaidens, he's one of the worst characters in Baki. >>289458568I have no idea. The issue with Shen is that his power doesn't make sense within the confines of the universe, he hasn't got genetic advantages or specific skills he's just invincible. It reminds me of Tsuyoshi where every attempt to quantify *why* Tsuyoshi is strong fails but at least that's part of the joke Shen just doesn't make sense.
>>289443333Oh my! They've been... protected!! They're so safe now, it's simply insane.

>>289445426The same place the daily Gunslinger Girl thread went. Very sad.
>>289463425This is how Bakifags imagine a family.
>>289463262The first sold better than the bottom half of Jump and was outselling Dead Tube when DT had an anime. Hanayama fujos give a circle of protection to his adjacents. >>289443333Quads too. Damn.I knew I should've gone all in on a baki character but I couldn't because I felt bad that Doppo was married and instead I picked a character, built a shrine then he got fuckin' murdered in the next book. Fuckin' dyin'.
>Yujiro and Motobe yumejos in the threadHere... A gift...
>>289463262>he's one of the worst characters in Baki.You bastard!
>>289461947jack needs to show his asshole first
>>289460189Not intentionally
>>289457549I find the idea of Chiharu somehow being a delinquent from his earliest childhood a bad idea. This is just flanderization. Though maybe the story will be good and avoid this pitfall.
>>289460189Only thing keeping it afloat is the memes and shitposts
>>289455647This is the glue that brings us together, the bane of our enemies, the light of tomorrow.
>>289417299Yujiro vs Shen is entirely dependent on who's writing, Itagaki or Sandro. If it's a collaborative effort then Yujiro wins because Itakagi would physically and emotionally bully Sandro into making it so
>>289420425Baki is so retarded it transcends retardation.Kengan Omega is just retarded.
>>289443333Show us Quadtobe!
>>289436574After reading that I feel like I could go to China and out fight a kung-fu master
I've just come to a horrifying realization. Kengan Omega is all an experiment by "that man" to try to artificially create a "fandom" as insane as bakifags. It's also why "he" has created so many other "works", all different experiments producing "data" for him to advance his writing to the next level.
>>289427589Schizophrenia... Is strong!
>>289466290You never see this with Delinquent/Yani fans, you never see it with Tough or Out or even Fight Class 3 when that was popular.Nobody gained schizophrenia for Shuumatsu or Tenka either. Hell, those reddit kengan scanlators who do everything out of comic zenon failed to keep a tailwind too.Makes yah think.
>>289427589Well, it makes sense. I mean, Baki engaged in tulpa-training, including a giant mantis, for his fight against Yuujiro. Not to mention that time he beat Retsu in the Maximum Tournament by imagining himself against 4000 years of chinese martial arts to get ready. His schizophrenia made him reach new heightsIt's like shadowboxing while injuring yourself when you "lose"
>>289428657>>289427589We're our own schizo islandsThey've dissolved and became part of the schizo sea
>>289467130We're all schizo bugs in "that man's" gu ritual.
Neither writer respects their readership, but one is much better and forging something entertaining out of that resentment
>>289463262Oh god, you know I've realised the whole thing with Shen is? It's >Because she's ErzaBut played completely straight. Like, if on their first fight Erza told Irene her magic was awesome and top 5, and then proceeded to put on a set of magical armor that seizes the "principles" of enchantment magic for herself, and proceeded to beat Irene at her own game. That or put on a set of weighted armor that nerfs Erza by subjecting herself to 50 times Earth's gravity and increases her libido sensitivity by 75x. And then just fucking WINS anyway.
>>289467130>They've dissolved and became part of the schizo seaNot happening, I'm sinking now~
>>289469021Anon... Are you... A sinker?!
>>289468992How strong is her pee?
>>289443889Just different mental abilities. If Itagaki-dono had been able to percieve that the stimulus-recall task was not her genius, some other task could have been posed. For example, after viewing said animals for 90 seconds, ask her to identify which was the tallest, and then describe its other features, about 90 minutes laterAnyone can do this for people, cause we have an entire section of the brain reserved for social protocol, but do it for random animals and its because you have an unusual mental talent, or a genius.
>>289420425Baki has a kind of idiosyncratic charm that Kengan unfortunately lacks; part of enjoying Baki after a certain point is buying into the fact that this is Itagaki's story and he's just going to write whatever the fuck he wants and we the reader are just along for the ride. Like, if Kengan Omega had been written by Itagaki Shen would have been beheaded out of nowhere 65 chapter in and then we'd have 50 chapters following Carlos interspersed with a few random chapters of Kuroki breaking into the oval office to take a shit before killing Lindsay Graham and putting McConnell in a coma, followed by a 5 chapter showdown between Carlos and Ohma
>>289443889>>289444021>>289471324https://youtu.be/QsSXgbtLFK4YOU KNOW WHAT?! ITAGAKI-DONO IS MY HERO!
>>289427589I feel... Enlightened.
>>289461947That's presumably where Rahen is leading to, it's Jack's revenge tour against everyone who humiliated his ass. All that's left is Motobe, Baki, and Yujiro.

>>289440530What's the difference between Xiaoli and "going limp"?
Bump-o
>>289474413objectively they are the same concept but in terms of how its used in the narrative xiaoli is a very high level high risk technique which means that few fighters use it and that it has huge caveats to be effective, we even get to see a fight where it explicitly fails at mitigating the damage enough (musashi vs retsu)meanwhile in kengan going limp is like if every character could pull the "loldidn'thurt" that baki uses sometimes but any time (and to be honest it sucks when he does that too)
>>289454444Unfathomable.
>>289476171Sandro doesn't even bother with going limp anymore, characters can just casually tank non-named moves now
>>289443333I can't believe it, I've been protected. What will I do now?
>>289474413Xiaoli requires you to actually show your fucking movement, even if it's little old man punches. "Going limp" lets you get hit in the neck with a fucking elbow and declare that you magically reduced the damage to 0 because you activated your [Niko Style cheat skill] just in time like a little kid on the playground saying you didn't hit him because he had an invisible forcefield up.
>>289471796If you think about it, Omega, while it also does basically whatever the fuck it wants, has the issue that every character is sanded down.Almost all of them become this indistinguishable blob, and the few this doesn't apply to (Raian, Adam for example) are characters whose entire appeal is in having that extra edge.It gives this clinical, calculated feel of doing what's popular, despite still going off the rails.Itagaki doesn't give a shit.
>>289461947jack could barely even beat hanayama lmao he isnt beating yujiro
>>289421666>>289435888>>289443333>>289454444Unfathomable digits
>>289474072>>Stuck fetching metadata for hoursHad that happen a fair bit, for me changing the listening port worked. qBit has a setting for a random port, and that seemed to do it.
>>289477499This is what happens when two of the Strong meet and begin to "clash".
>>289420425This is literally true though??
>>289478236The strong huh.
>>289478236Digits, strong?
>>289479530Let's believe in the chemistry of the strong

>>289482310What do you think?
>>289477170>It gives this clinical, calculated feel of doing what's popularHonestly I think this is exactly what we've been missing in our analysis of Sandrobitch. He's lazy but very calculated when it comes to what's popular, as evidenced by the three other cashgrabs he got published.
Alright you crackheads, I have a question for you.Is rape strong?
>>289485156Undoubtedly. The real question is: is being raped strong?
>>289485156No.Baki vs Yujiro, Musashi vs Baki, Doppo vs Yujiro, Chiharu vs Ron, and even Hanayama vs Yujiro have shown that getting someone to "play" with you with consent going both ways mans being strong. You have met strength and strength and confirms as such. Hell the extra one shot in WSC introducing Rahen with Hanayama and Chiharu explains it when Chiharu asks Hanayama what would make him strong, and he says to be rahen with other strong people.
>>289484267There is an entire anime where you beat infinity itself to save the gigauniverse exclusively by the power of believing
>>289485529That's strong?
tigerking?
Should we warp this thread for another round Kengan and Baki brothers and sisters?
>>289487814I don't know. In a way an excellent culture thread like this is the result of it being the first in a while. It might dilute it's meaning if mass produced.Actually, why isn't there a narrow topic thread like this more often? It's always top ten naked milf foxes or ragebait topics.
>>289488180You're right, it's just that I have enjoyed this thread to an immense amount of degree. It felt like a philosophical discussion about martial arts between martial artists while drinking tea made from 4000 years old Chinese leaves. I think both of our communities have the best interest in thriving together to make those threads as fine as they are without mass producing them. Maybe it's our nature as martial artists thay make these threads good or our common schizophrenia being on the same wave.
>>289488621How about organising our very own tournament?
>>289490256I'm too weak for that, I cannot control my desires to be urinated on.
Is this thread a "gu" ritual?
>>289461947I want dbz aliens to show up and humiliate yujiroh and rape his bitch ass. Unfortunately it will never happen once he became teh authors self insert
Argentina is......unfathomable, this match Will come to a razor thin margin
>>289491736>I want X to show up and humiliate yujirohYou've been seething and posting variations of the same shit for years now. Can't you realize that seething at Yujiro is just a symptom of your faggotry?
>>289493772You shouldn't respond to him because he may be from and with... "Them".
Anal sphincter is the strongest muscle, so rape might be the true contest of strength.
>>289490256A tournament simultaneously under Baki and Kengan rules would be utterly incomprehensible. The Bakifags wouldn't understand the compliment hexes and fetish for "combat data" while the Kenganfags wouldn't understand why it's very important to keep telling the same story about decks of cards and standing men tattoos or why it's important to maintain your purity while gangstalking and drooling over other men.
>>289492880....You madman
>>289494981The man who has slain the Hanayama clan all those years ago, and from whom his ancestors were PROTECTED by the travelling Gambler?It was... "Him"..."That man".The "connector".

>>289496622How strong? I've seen him only a few times. He's strong... REALLY STRONG! He just posts a simple page of Yujiro walking right out of the manga website and copy pastes a text and yet, such a lazy simple shitpost leads to discussion. They post Kratos thanking Yujiro, they get into arguments over if he could rape Goku or Bejita but the most funniest thing is causing retards to say there waifu gatch characters can beat him by making AI art. Reminds me of that Motobe fag in /dbs/ who posts pictures of Motobe drop kicking Jiren before the mods gas chambered the entire thread and banned every guy including him really proves Baki doesn't need edits to make meme shit happen kek
>>289496773Yujiro and Motobefags are... THE STRONGEST of us all!
>>289496773Wait... This is the pure and controlled schizophrenia that >>289427589 has been speaking about! The ability to warp their perception of reality and control them! The power to control the pure meme magic! I finally understand! Thanks you, Anon! I learned something very important!
>>289450546Hey, just so you know, I finished it, took me the week endI ripped, removed the credits pages and compiled parts 1 to 6 into volumes + most of the spinoffs (what I could find translated by someone other than Wild Fang Project)It's already on my seedbox, everything readyBUT I CAN'T UPLOAD ON NYAA SINCE THE ANONYMOUS UPLOAD ARE DISABLEDI HATE THIS SHITany idea ? it's 45GB
Baki meme bullshittery is charming fun. Kengan meme bullshittery is about being annoyed and is done usually to mock Sandro's writing.
>>289428403absolutely awful list. holyland? lol
>>289497638Baki memes are memes through which people try to get closer to the manga.Keng/a/n memes are memes through which people try to get away from the mang.Which of these are greater...? Show us! Show us, /a/nonymous!
Reading this whole thread is not just funny but refreshing to my intelligence. Glad to see every Baki fag (and maybe the keng/a/n fags) still to this day prove to be my favored /a/ communities because they have the capacity to be funny while discussing deep stuff about the mind and the occasional but rare talks about other fandoms or related topics. Thank you all and most importantly thank you Itagaki you ol' geezer.
>>289454269You were awesome anon, truly top 5 Omega posts I've ever read
>>289454269>MR. PENIS>ENTERS THE THREAD.
Man, this thread is great. I've only entered two Baki-related threads before in my life, and each one had absolutely legendary posts in them. I don't even know anything about Baki except a youtube video I watched that praised it.
>>>/co/154705936I broke JJKfags with facts and logic
>>289503385>the one dude posting porn>up for hoursEither the mods are sleeping or they have REALLY given up.
>>289503385>facts and logicWhat is that? What kind of dark arts are you using?
>>289503961I respect your dedication anon, it's just that I got tired of downloading these huge scan archives ten years ago. I don't need particularly high resolution scans to be touched by Itagaki's writing.
>>289503385Imagine sending >>289427589 and >>289454269 into the JJK territoryThey could gaslight them into believing that Shen and Yujiro are outermegabeyondboundlessultimateversal with pure schizophrenic and autism powers.
>>289497859Holyland is far from perfect and has a really rough first third but it earns a ton of points for me for improving as it goes along and the ending is fucking sublime. You really just need to get past the fight with the knife guy and it massively spikes in quality.
>>289492880Hexes aren't supposed to be real!!!
Baki/Kenganbros. I feel in love with a 50 yo woman at the gym, how do I convince her to do THAT training with me? (I've never been with a woman before, I'm still WEAK)
>>289505262Have you tried romantic poetry? Something like>"Roses" are "red">I may "still" be "green">But "you" are the most "beautiful">"Woman" I have "seen"
>>289505262Have you tried making a conversation? Get to know her and let her know you a little then ask her out.
>>289503385>Look in the thread>Those retards pissed off another community again and now some guy has left a bot to do a rolling thunder of posts of some godforsaken fanfiction Kek, those fucking nuts hahahahah truly entertaining to watch them.
>>289503385This autism reminded me of how Yuji just stops learning things on screen and is given rubber-band buffs to keep up with the power creep, Gege is such a dogshit hack. And he's pretentious as hell too. At least Itagaki and Sandro are honest.
>>289503385Wait, the memes are real?! Bakifags truly go to the gym and are martial artists crackheads?! You even took a break of your training session to troll Sonic, JJK, Dragon Ball fags?! I fucking kneel!
>>289505262Make friends with her first.
>>289505262You need to "subvert" her expectations by "scaling the wall" and "evolving" your compliment hexes.
Imagine if Baki ended with Baki looking at the screen and saying "actually martial arts and fighting is objectively evil and those 1000 pages of fighting spectacle that the author got money from? that was immoral and the characters were retroactively in the wrong for finding any fulfillment through that."
>>289505262You're in that age, Anon... You want to get stronger? With an older woman?! You're courageous! You want not only conquer her but also time?! You greedy bastard! Try to break the first wall with conversations, if she invites you to eat something then... The rest is left to you, older women love feeling desired by young lads! Go for it tiger!
>>289505535>"plz come back and write more, we keep axing every series for not being as popular as the big three in ten chapters and you were one of our last big hits">"I don't want to">"PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ">"fine here let me absolutely fuck my setting, good fucking luck doing sequels now assholes lmao" Never touched JJK, but on some level I have to respect the game.
>>289497347If you upload it somewhere or drop a link to it, I’ll keep it in my seedbox for everyone.
>>289505262Ganbatte anon
>>289505262Try compliment hexing her until she's too strong to win against your advances.
>>289505340>>289505369>>289505464>>289505516>>289505606>>289505941Thanks brothers and sisters! I feel strong enough now to go speak to her!
>>289506157No problem. Trying to date any woman in this time is close to impossible so don't feel bad if it doesn't end well.
>>289506460Men have to scale the wall.Women are destined to crash into the wall, and become one with it.
>>289506476This is cope. Men age just as badly as women do, if not worse. Even the eggs part is cope as men struggle with fertility as they age too.
>>289506540God, I fucking wish. I'm 31 and people still think I just turned 20. I'm too "green" and "immature" to scale that wall.
>>289506611You wish? What? Are you "female"? It never crossed my mind to have "them" here.
>>289450389japanese steel from his period were terrible and weakterrible and weak = strongmodern japanese steel = not weak = weak
>>289506611>I'm 31 and people still think I just turned 20.You'll fit right in on /fa/ then. It's full of 35yo dudes pretending everyone mistakes them for teenagers.No they won't post a pic to back up their claim.
>>289506748I don't think most females want to look their age, but in any case the "yumes" are a constant lurking threat in fighting manga>>289506792>they won't post a picKek. I won't pretend to be heartthrob I just wish I looked closer to how I feel (crusty and gritty)
>>289506748There is some of 'them' in this very thread. A Yujiro one and a Motobe/Doppo one. They're alright for now because they are fucked up as we are.
>>289506926Stop scaring us, man! Imagine a y*me in this place full of testosterone! We will all be going apeshit! Unless some of us have so much testosterone that they see everyone else as f*male! Do you know how dangerous is the y*mejo pee?
>there are people here who aren't aware of the "strongest" and most "schizophrenic" baki yume
>>289507264WE DO NOT SPEAK OF HER! SHE'S WAY TOO STRONG!
>>289507264How strong are her pee?
>>28950735380 proof
>>289507264The fuck is this even supposed to be? Who are these characters, and how are they related to Baki?
>>289507562left is her fursonaright is sikorsky
>>289507587Thanks.
>>289507264Ok but where is the chibigurumi collection. Even handmade nuis count.
