I'VE GOT IT THE PERFECT TIMING

>>289425298>Koga's friend from back homeLiterally me
>>289425351>Are you sure you wanna do this>>289425369>*grabs cock*
>>289425395>The data you asked for
>>289425298Is anyone else still convinced he was a worm here?
>>289425434>Besides me, that isNo you fucking aren't. You haven't done anything
Chapter 253: All Connected
>>289425475BRAVO NOLAN
>>289425447Isn't this just some drawing program's UI? Or photoshop?
>>289425475>Literally nothing is connected in this chapter.The most vapid, stupid fucking pointless chapter in this manga. Or not. There's countless candidates.
>>289425266>>289425277Oh yeah remember these faggots? At least give me some Kokuro or something
>>289425492>>289425503Robo geisha was the first time he incorporated ai?
>>289425492I'm getting sick of these two faggots
>>289425298>hey remember chapter 0?Yeah don't remind me Sandro
>>289425395Jesus those fingers
>>289425491Actual he was the protagonist of Sandros previous manga Fist of the Seeker, so he has to get self indulgently wanked this much
>>289425636"Please read my decade old napkin manga to understand why this guy is actually a huge deal" is not the defense you think it is. If FotS characters are going to keep hijacking Omega then Sandro should at least redraw the damn thing instead of expecting everyone to clap because his old OC walked into the room.
>>289425508yes, he's zooming in the picture
>>289425649Come on Kazzy, it's rude to ask people who they're fucking.
>>289425649>>289425660In isolation this is honestly pretty cool, especially since Kazzy is the one figuring it outShame about everything surrounding it
>>289425636You know, that makes me wonder why Jose doesn't get the same FotS veteran cred as Joji and Kureishi
Chapter 254: Start with the Appetizer
>>289425695Kazzy being competent is OOC now so this just doesn't hit right.
>>289425698>JoseReincarnated as carlos "literally kuroki" mendel
>>289425434god sandro how did you make joji so unlikeable?
>>289425405>the "raging rook" has retreieved the porn discs... >"erection" is on the move...
>>289425858lmao
>>289425858>swordis raian going to die here?
>>289425795>Shen taught THE Wu Hei Huisheng
>THAT is about to happenIm already mindbroken
>>289425858wait oh no this was today allready?
>>289425881thats not a sword. that thing is too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it is more like a large hunk of iron
>>289425834NOOO STOP
DONEgod no
>>289425901Too unbalanced
>>289425908Oh god, the "nutrients"
>>289425873i love it when the authors pet can get a runback for a loss that happend offscreen
>>289425475
>>289425541No he's been using it before this
Some of you greenies are alright, don't come to the daily tomorrow
>>289425582Just drink the beer! Or pour it into another container
>>289425898>those fucking axeskekalso since when does willem have that tattoo on his neck?
>>289425695>In isolation this is honestly pretty coolCould say that for a lot of omega
>>289425670The Ying and Yang of Sandro
>>289425706Shoujo manga face
>>289425508More specifically that's "clip studio paint", that's exactly how the "list" of "layers" looks like, he's got "Level Correction", and the "dot" on the tab right below the tooltips is the "close" icon when the file was "modified".That's probably the software he's using for Omega, but from what I remember Daro was using paint tool sai for his art.
>>289425755Sandro watched a video about split brains I see
>>289425898>Axe handle doesn't even extend beyond the handHow small is it?
>>289425873>tfw someone leaves the milk carton outside the fridge
>>289425984>Clip Studio Paint>SaiAren't those "free"? At least get Krita.>>289425999We're lucky he hasn't seen Limitless>Muh 10% of the brain
>>289425887ENTERTHE Sean Wu
>>289425958He's had it since his introduction, although Daro might have forgotten to draw it sometimes
>>289425887incredible how off this design feels
>>289426031>Aren't those "free"?They do the job just fine.
>>289425908>Raian became a mall ninjaKure Clan in shambles.
>>289425908Thanks OP, I've been waiting for this retardation. Also I like how Raian does the most token jobber (both bringing a weapon and going from stoic to churayzee) but lives because he's on the right side of the author's pen.
>>289425266HOLY SHIT ITS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER NAM NHAT
>>289425887ENTEROUR FUCKING HERO
I cant imagine Sean losing
>>289425858
>>289425369Isn't it awesome how not even Ryuki's presumably final powerup/development isn't even going to be his own, and he has to share it with Koga?For all the stuff about Koga and other characters, you'll never convince me that Ryuki isn't the most poorly treated character by Sandro. He has NOTHING in the wake of zombie Ohma's return, no relevance, nothing unique to him, no agency of a character.
>>289426143Jesus Christ, America was a mistake
>>289425649GAAAAAAAAAAAY
>>289426143What did he expect to happen? And don't they have tasers for this?
>>289425636He wasn't even the protagonist, he lost to the protagonist even. He wasn't even in the finals lol.
>>289425908>god no>>Writer doesn't want to Write >Illustrator doesn't want to Illustrate>Editor doesn't want to Edit>Publisher doesn't want to Publish>Web Server doesn't want to Serve>Reader doesn't want to Read>Dumper doesn't want to Dump
>>289425881In a sense
>>289425887NO MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL
>>289426187It was all part of his plan to isekai himself, he's somewhere in another world right now slaying dragons and demons with his skills.
>>289426031Sai yes, but clip studio also has a paid license (yearly or perpetual, your pick) that comes with a lot more features, but the base version comes with all of the bare necessities.
>>289426319Naruhodo... "He" was truly gazed beyond the "wall".
>>289426187Tasers don't work a lot of the timeYou shouldn't mess around when someone has a weapon, watch surviving edged weapons (1988) for more information
>>289426187>>289426166>just let a fat retard on a drug bender run at you with a sword bro wtf it's not even a big deal why didn't they just call a social worker or something jeezisekai yourself
>>289425834STOPSTOP IT RIGHT NOW
>>289425858>>289425873It's so fucking funny how this is transparently Sandro's ultimate platonic ideal of "cool". Every trope he could possibly come up with to include.
>>289425887ENTER THE STRONGEST, MOST INTELLIGENT WU
>>289426367I'm not angry that the cops decided to shoot him, I'm just saddened that someone pathetic enough to charge two armed police officers with a katana existed
>>289425858Me when the bullies finally go too far...
>>289425858Not these fucking chapters againNOOOOOOOOONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>289425739This makes zero sense as depicted.
>>289425598Mukaku isn't really a fraud anymore.
>>289425908I'm going to kill myself. I didn't even realize this was so close.
>>289425908Now that im thinking about it, this moment really was the prototype for "nutrients"
Honestly raian wank might he worse than ohma wank
>>289425908Oh man, new readers are in for some fucking batshit experience.
>>289425908I'm "green" and these reactions are frightening me. How bad can Raian playing around with a sword get?
>>289426143At least he died honorably, in combat.Not bleeding out in custody like a little cuck.
>>289425766The Shen we see not being the original connector but the new one that was born from cloning and never existed before could have been used to justify him not actually bearing responsibility for the shit his previous selves did but fuck you.
>>289425266>>289425277>character that hasn't fought>character that hasn't fought>weird kure lore>monk okuboTotal flops all around.
>>289425887>I'll beat him with my superior speed!
>>289426538He is not using the sword its just a "tool"
>>289425447She's just giving him a handjob under the table
>>289425688WHAT'S CONNECTED??? THIS ISN'T CONNECTED TO FUCKING ANYTHING
>>289425728VIOLATION OF THE NATURAL ORDER!STICK WITH HUISHENG, THAT'S MUCH MORE ACCEPTABLE
>>289426477He was a fraud of a fraud then
>>289426580Well Sandro sees the connections, so maybe you should trust the experts?
>>289425582>>289425598Have "I" got it right?
>>289426591Yi was right and because shen didn't listen EVIL INCARNATE aka Luohan was made.
>>289426580The "logic" has now been connected since now it makes "sense" that Shen would want to do put himself in. There's actually two people in him and so each of them gets a body. This also explains the worm plot with Kenzo and all the cyberbrain nonsense.
>>289425887>>289425898My heroes!
>>289425908https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euT-ffn8uQY
>>289426619Shouldn't Kure Style Removal come from Wu?
>>289426619>>289426655Yeah, anon made that mistake but it probably tangles up the chart even more.
>>289426143Did he dieded?
>>289425887He looks like the Wu who would end up in Gachimuchi videos.
>>289426619I fucking hate niko style
>>289426694No, Hanafusa patched him up
>>289425475Back then we thought the guys around Shen was important because of the weird amount of detail but it turns out they were just AI slop.
>>289426625If he listened to Yi, neither Ohma nor Ryuki would exist.Now, whether that's a positive or negative is open to interpretation
>>289426694He predicted the trajectory of the bullets and reactively moved his organs out of the way to minimize damage. Then he faked going down to cause the enemy combatants to lower their guard.
>>289425858I remember laughing heartily at this pagePoe's law in action, you can't tell if this is meant to be tryhard cool as a joke or if you are meant to seriously think he's coolIt's like Sandro went though a checklist>scars>5 o'clock shadow>Dumb big sword >Black tanktop >Trench coat >Army boots>the "I don't give a fuck" attitude
>>289426367>run>>289426461chargeReally more of a waddle
>>289425515
>>289425858Just noticed Raian brought a fog machine for his entrance.
>>289425612
>>289426760No he is just radiating pressure which is something you can canonically do once you learn principles
>>289425298The good old days...
>>289426143>SHYYEEEEAAAAAAA
>>289425908aaaaa shitTOMORROW WILL BE THAT "DIALOGUE"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH FUCKING SANJDROOOOOOOOOAJFMOWWEASFD
>>289426771>>289426838Holy kek
>>289426730It's clearly meant to be cool otherwise the Wilems would comment on it
>>289425369I can't believe Ryuki is going to learn demonwheel...
>>289425475Not even hiding the AI use here damn
>>289425395Why didn't Niko just get Rin to gather the data for him?She could have saved thousands of orphans.
>>289425541We've been in AI mode for a while tbdesu.
>>289426934How would you counter the crouching dragon + demon wheel combo?
>>289425858>2007 amv intensifies
>>289425908Green ones should get ready for the thread to hit 800+ replies tomorrow
>>289425515Why is xia such a helicopter parent.What's shen going to do, start a massacre? That's not really his mojo. And would it matter to worms if he did?>>289425739Uhh...>>289425823Sounds like it would be very easy to kill him in the process. Easier than successful transplant, even>>289425887Powerful "sub housefly lifespan" vibes from this guy
>>289425858Who's more chuuni, Gilbert the epithet collector or nothing personnel kid Raian?
>>289425858I don't even to read the rest to know this is going to be the start of another massive "party" like with Eddie.
>>289426143The dude was pretty clearly intoxicated; it's a shame he had to be an idiot and get himself killed like that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-SA22Vz-rkCan't really fault the agents since they were clearly trying to deescalate but I do wonder if there was a non-risky way to subdue him; he wasn't moving particularly fast.
>>289426972It's impossible.This is how they'll defeat Shen.
>>289425887enter Zoomer Wu
>>289425369FAGGOTSBANE SOON
>>289427035Shen's brain will just use Principles to make itself immortal while being transplanted. It's not like he fucking needs oxygen anyway.
>>289426143>Jobber rush>Self hexHe never stood a chance.
>>289425881Given the reactions the "Kengan Omega" we know is about to die. Again.
>>289425858ONENOTHING WRONG WITH ME
>>289425395I want to pound this diminutive gook looking bitch Rin so much it's unreal meanwhile all this faggot does is watch street cameras as his face keeps getting worse by the panel.
>>289426538All I'll say is make sure your timing is right because tomorrow's dump will probably hit the bump limit very quickly.
>>289425858We're hitting late 2000's deviantart levels that shouldn't be possible in an official publication.
>>289425858THE SECRET SIDE OF MEI NEVER LET YOU SEE
>>289425858The sheer cringe is making me internally scream like the gladiators from swords and sandals
>>289425266>>289425475>>289425598>>289425688Sandro's sudden insistence on everything being connected feels like a direct response to something.Like he heard that good stories have connections, or maybe a negative Comickey comment slipped through the cracks calling everything in Omega disconnected.And now Sandro feels the need to prove how many connections there are.
>>289425858>this page>these responsesOh my god, tomorrow is going to be insane.
>>289425858>*Three Days Grace intensifies*
>>289425823Shen no you're gonna soma yourself
>>289427488If your super kungfu man last boss guy is literally called The Connecter then the readers are probably going to expect things to be connected.
>>289425739>>289425755>>289425766Wait, what happened here?Did the DNA of two people merge into one, or did the DNA of one split into two?And how do either of those result in another person being inside of him?How would having two clones to Huisheng fix this? Will he selectively only tell half of his memories to each of them?
>>289427577No, Pre-Shen decided to clone himself to create a perfect copy of himself. The result was Shen, a DID schizo that's only inside him. Since he just wants a fight against an equal, he decided to just fight himself and now the two Shens need two controllers to play.
>>289425298Oh its the Dark Web guy
>>289425887Knife count: 92Knife users winning count: 11
>>289425858>>289425873>>289425908This is so fucking cringe that it loops back around to being endearing.Sandro has the tastes of a middle schooler.
>>289425566This move killed "me"
>>289425858Remember when this chapter dropped and the entire designated subreddit lost their minds with how cool they thought Raian looked
>>289425307>let's say I'm an "interpreter".
>>289427618 But couldn't one shen stay in his body and only the other gets put into a new body?
>>289427534>>289427403
>>289427742Wrong "me" the fortnight tournament has a no kill rule, that was a non-lethal assassination neck snap.
>>289427770Uh...>Frenchman.webm
>>289426163Yeah, the Omega part of Kengan Omega got shafted so hard it not's even funny
>>289426359Maybe they shouldve igive the cops tranq guns for this kind of situations. Crazy how animals in zoo gets better treatment than human in some cases.
>>289427770YSSAQYKAOTIIMYLLAN
>>289425382Dude that looks nothing like Ohma
>>289427770I'm writing for Sandro here but maybe it would be "unfair" for one to have a new body. But in this context, the bodies aren't even equal since there's clearly a large gap between Ohma and Ryuki so... I don't know.
>>289427577Clone resulted into two separate clones.He says it himself that he isn't sure which one is the "real" connector.It's one body with two DNA. Imagine a videogame where characters don't clip, and when they move into the same exact spot they're both superimposed into each other.>>289427770Yeah, but then the ages wouldn't line up. He wanted a fair fight against an equal, so old original body vs much younger clone wouldn't hardly be equal.
>>289427890>there's clearly a large gap between Ohma and Ryuki Thats because mukaku literally trained ryuki wrong and fucked him up so bad that shen decided to kill him
Hassad soon.
>shen decided to kill himThat was self defense
>>289425795This answers yesterday's anon asking about the aberrant personality transfer.>>289412032Shen himself acknowledges that it's a fraud reincarnation, so don't overthink it.
>>289425475God I remember seeing this cliffhanger and thinking how in the fuck is Sandro going to subvert /us/ only to be an complete nothinburger
>>289425766Seems like you're way shittier, then
>>289426416It's what happens when 50 year old manchildren never mentally progress, unfortunately...you can see the same in Guilty Gear but at least there it's played so earnestly that Daisuke gets away with it
>>289425887>pulls out a knifeno... NO
>>289425908You can tell Sandro read Higanjima at some point.
>>289427843This isn't MGS, you're not stunning a guy on the spot with an MK.2 bullet to the head. Tazers are your next best bet but once again they're not reliable and some people just tank it. When someone charges you with a blade you shoot with bullets because that's how you can make sure you're not gambling your life on a roll of the dice.
>>289425706He looks so zesty here
>>289427537Just win the coinflip, it's not even hard
>>289425908I better get the timing right for tomorrow
>>289427577Shen is probably a chimera, DNA-wise. It does happen. A person absorbs a twin in the womb and then lives with two sets of DNA in their body their entire life. Usually you'd only find out if you went for an organ transplant or paternity test. Shen's is just amplified a bit to include a separate cognition.
>>289425598So much wasted beer.
>>289425858>>289425873I CAN BE YOUR PAINKILLER, KILLER, KILLEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR
>>289425858Fuck me. This is ridiculous.
>>289428150Isn't that a post vocalist change 3DG song?
>>289426367Cops can't be trusted to possess firearms.
>>289426163>Two big, traumatizing events happen back to back for basically the exact same reason (the people closest to him are fine with letting him go off alone when that is absolutely not smart, considering his mental state)>Emotional issues that would obviously arise after these events don't get addressed in any meaningful way>Is quite noticeably way meeker despite yesterday's chapters trying to beat you over the head with how he's "making his own decisions"Him, Koga, and Kazzy all got fucked over as characters in different ways but Ryuki does feel especially sad because it really does seem like everyone stopped giving a damn about him in story so far.
>>289427906But don't ohma and ryuki also have like a ten year age gap? But i guess the difference would be way bigger. the thing that makes this whole "fair fight" situation even more retarded is that the other shen, i think he was tiger, is allready much weaker than the shen we know since he is not used to actually using a body
>>289425908It really is just a fanfiction flashbang.
>>289425739Repeat that for me
>>289426474>>289428231Identical twins where one got absorbed into the other, but it developed into a form of genetic chimerism afterwards.
>>289428182Yeah, it's from Human. If that album had existed when I was an emo teenager it'd be my GOAT.
>>289425887ENTER the RAIAN SLAUGHTERER
>>289425795Kazzy stop making sense.
>>289425307Why does it feel like this guy is totally a Worm member now?>>289425382This isn't Ohma. The AI accidentally drew the face of a muscular woman.>>289425434Sit the fuck down Joji, you aren't rivaling Shen.>>289425475Not seeing a single connection in this chapter desu.>>289425649Kazzy has been drawn so weirdly in Omega. I especially hate how his chin looks in a lot of panels.
>>289426538You will "arrive" with us "tomorrow"
>>289425811I wish bando would come back
>>289425670>>289425688>>289425706This feels like a failed attempt at writing a hype mic drop moment. I don't think anyone cared beyhind thinking "oh what bullshit is he writing now?".>>289425728>>289425739Yeah there's a lot of information missing here to insert later asspulls.>>289425858Top 5 worst pages in the history of manga.
>>289425887>We'd better take him out before he can draw it.The best course of action, therefore, is to charge at him with my knife. ssshhHHYYEEEEAAA-
>>289425858He's so cool looking
>>289425492>>289425434KILLL KILLLLL KILLLLLLLLLLLLL
>>289425887My sweet prince, Sean.....
>>289428186shut up adam
>>289425266>DEI castSandro got paid extra to include worldwide characters like all mangaka during the early 2020s
>>289425908You'd think Fei exploding, Eddie getting necked and Lu Tian getting his cranium violated with a flashlight would have destroyed Keng/a/nBut no, it's this short fight that officially killed it for anyone who still had an ounce of hope leftYou gotta love how much Raian gets violated in front of large group of people or even his peers and he still insists on acting like the biggest chuuni fantasy ever. Every loss might as well be soft-retconned with how much he refuses to act like anything other than a Rip N Tear fag>>289425755 This will later get retcon'd. The "Shen" inside of Shen will be treated like a sleeping dormant entity unlike someone who's been awake this whole time
>>289428368Sandro....
>>289425908I already ate though. Thanks OP.
>>289428331>Top 5 worst pages in the history of manga.Thats tomorrow
>>289428331>Top 5 worst pages in the history of mangaIt's not even in the top 5 worst Omega pages.
>>289425858>cue Linkin Park music
>>289427474>scream like the gladiators from swords and sandalsNow that's a blast from the past.
>>289425782I actually understand this, and literally think it's a cool and reasonable endgame for such a strange story (with clones, not!death, form changes, etc.)
>>289425277(Kim Janggi?)
>>289425908I am smiling mouth wide cheek to cheek, these fucking NUTRIENTS memes are every other dialogue
>>289425755Doesn't Luohan already live rent free in Shen's head?
>>289425566f that's Long clan secret technique i can understand why Gaoh felt the need of creating an entirely new martial art from the scratch.
>>289425566>>289425582>technique here seems be a sort of focused piercing/cutting technique >fast forward to fortnite>it's discount lionsbite for snapping someone's neck apparentlyAI written manga.
>>289425858>>289425873Honestly, I wouldn't have minded this if Raian at least grew up a little after being supposedly humbled. But no. We just get more of the same edgy tryhard Gary Stu bullshit.Was it so hard to have him develop at least A LITTLE BIT Sandro?
>>289425503Where's draft anon? I remember this page being very different initially.
>>289425503Daro be like AAAAAH THIS MANGA IS A PRISON I WANT TO DRAW COOL STUFF and then proceed to automate drawing specifically the stuff he finds cool
>>289425858I remember when this chapter dropped. I was obsessively posting about how much I wanted Raian to get fucking destroyed, killed, slaughtered, smashed to pieces, in prior threads. This was my reaction to finding out he had been beaten by Gilbert offscreen. When I saw this, I had gotten "hyped" in a sense, I was hoping for Raian to lose and for me to receive enormous catharsis from it and yet I was scared, terrified, horrified that Raian would just do what Raian does and win easily. And the result of this pissed me off more than any other time in these threads. I was still relatively "green" at the time. I had only caught up half-way through Jurota vs Agito. I never raged at this series the same way since. I remember seeing people on twitter get hyped about it, calling Raian "raw" and I couldn't fathom it, I was so fucking angry at the very idea anyone could be into this character. I kind of miss my old anger. Helped me invest in these threads more. And then the "real champions tournament" happened and "we" went through hell.
>>289428876What AI was used for this?
>>289428784Every time Raian gets raped he gets a little humble before going back to his old ways>Ohma rapes Raian even though it was 100% avoidable>Starts cheering for Ohma in his own way>Goes back to being a cunt when we see him in Omega>Eddie violently rapes Raian Gets told to train with the family Katana that teaches you Principles by Erioh "lol no faggot" >Gets another heaping dose of rape from Gilbert Gets humbled enough to train with the Principles Katana >Goes back to being an edgelord Some people crave the kind of ego Raian has to actively never change because he doesn't think he has too and occasionally gets proven right
>>289428899There are people who still enjoy the OPM manga adaptation. Some people draw the weirdest fucking lines as to what is bad or good. This goes beyond critical reading, I am astounded how so many Kengan readers genuinely give zero shits about the fact that most of the art isn't even done by a human.

>>289427770He could've, but Mukaku had already kidnapped Ohma and taken him to the inside, so Shen just kept on making more clones until he got Ryuki (Who Mukaku also kidnapped)

>>289429134We still have some "aberrant" individuals who defend Omega even on here. On the "other" thread there's an anon saying Omega has gotten better and better after the KvP right now.Either way, people who enjoyed Omega all the way until the RCT absolutely cannot be trusted.>>289429173The Real Champions Tournament.
>>289425978Lol
>>289425660i will give sandro some of his dues, having kazuo actually be competent and observant for this, including even his laughter being depicted as part of his plan is actually good and in line with what i wanted with his character post-asura
>>289427537If he physically transfers half his brain then he won't
>>289429192>On the "other" thread there's an anon saying Omega has gotten better and better after the KvP right now.Doesn't capture the absurdity.That "me" said that the KvP was BAD. Then he went on to say Omega became good after that.
>knife comparisons>spear special move>unfathomableGET OUT OF MY PORN SANDRO
>>289429198It just makes me question where this Kazuo was throughout the last two hundred chapters. Sandro clearly can bring back some semblance of that, so why isn't he trying harder.
>>289429192>The Real Champions TournamentI...already forgot that happened.
>>289429102What a pussy
>>289428417
>>289429032>>289429102This is so much better. Are there any stories that mix traditional japanese aesthetics with a cyberpunk setting? It works well.
>>289426619...where is Koga?
>>289429227Lolis are the strongest because the wield the power of the state against you
>>289425908On my initial read it was this page that pissed me off.Raian looked dumb as hell, but he was a little serious at least. Maybe his character matured at least a bit. Nah, same old retard.
>>289425475>2 pages wasted on the failed Supernovas>4 pages wasted on Koga's hacker friend who had zero reason for being in this chapter other than filler (why did they need him to get to the Narushima family's old mansion when they could have just used a fucking taxi again?)>3 pages wasted on the Narushima mansion when it could have been condensed to just one (the meat of it is Ryuki having the Gaoh Mukaku book, everything else is pointless)>1 page wasted on Ohma/Lihito/Falcon when it could have been just a single panelAnd the rest could have been spent actually explaining "HOW IT IZ ALL LE CONNEKTED! XDXDXD!!!!" without needing it to end of a fucking mindnumbingly idiotic vaguepost. What a waste of a chapter. I can't believe Sandro gets paid for this fucking shit.
>>289429102Sandro is genuinely unfathomable. He clearly is a fucking hipster who isn't taking the story seriously at all, treats so many elements of it like it's beneath him, and he even has characters breaking the 4th wall to address absurdities, yet the drafts here still indicate that he doesn't want to go full 100% in treating the manga like a joke. He's like, "No we can't go full 100% retarded. Let's stay at 95%." Like, why? At this point why bother trying to keep any semblance of seriousness at all? Just go full absurdity.
>>289425706>First 2 pages completely wasted on geisha bar filler garbage>There's another page just wasted on geisha bar filler with Shen making observations about the flying geisha and Joji just falling asleep (totally good setting for the serious conversation to come)>Sandro doesn't even actually start the conversation, because he gets sidelined by the Ryuki training stuff that should have began in the previous chapter (and should have been focused on that so that this chapter could be focused on this)>then we're back at the cafe (page 10, which is where the chapter SHOULD have began)>and of course, such a serious conversation has to be interrupted with Shen buying a fucking beer, because Sandro doesn't understand gravitas and is all about mood whiplashThis 16 page chapter could have condensed into like 5-6 pages. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE EDITOR DOING? THIS SHOULD BE HIS JOB, NOT MINE!>>289428331>This feels like a failed attempt at writing a hype mic drop moment. Hard for it to feel like a genuine jaw-dropping mic drop moment when Sandro himself isn't taking it 100% seriously like he should. >Yeah there's a lot of information missing here to insert later asspulls.No shit. He will never ever be 100% specific about anything. He loves ambiguity. He loves being able to slither around in it.
>>289425766>We don't even know, and we don't careYes, Sandro. We know you don't care about this shit. You don't have to speak through your characters like this. You're not slick.
>>289425277...Kim Janggi?
>>289425298Oh god, is "that" coming?
>>289428321And be ruined by the manga like all other characters who came back? Nah. Either better off not coming back or being dead (like Fei, who can't be ruined by the manga anymore than he already has).
>>289425858This is undoubtedly what Sandro considers to be the apex of cool. God I fucking hate this character so much. I'm glad that the character has gotten so bad that even his insufferable fanboys are no longer around to defend him the way they always did back during the KVP days.
>>289429411
>>289428419This fight really cemented that Sandro has pet favorites that will never suffer any kind of setback or be shown in any meaningfully bad or embarrassing light.
>>289425491It's a joke, son
>>289425858>showing up with a goddamn katana and trenchcoatThe 90's/2000's called, they want their look back.
>>289429425The funny thing is that any other character that had Raian's personality and mannerisms would have been a giga jobber. Imagine a Worm or any villain as cringy as Raian. Yet Raian is a special snowflake. He can behave like this and be top 5 material.Hell, he even has a giant odachi. Named fucking Otakemaru of all things (fuck off with that Sandro). And he is immune from jobbing hexes
>>289425946They're not out to master the drunken fist just yet

>>289430022Yeah, from Vol. 14.
>>289425688It's kind of weird that he didn't rebuff Mukaku saying he was only interested in Ryuki, instead saying it's because Ohma wasn't "him", since now he's saying he needs bothRetcon, Sandro schizophrenia or mistranslation? I'll leave it up to interpretation
>>289430084A little. Please don't judge.
>>289425873Is this the last time people remember Gilbert beat Raian? Fittingly macabre that it's Willem
>>289425873Remind me again why we couldn't see Raian lose on screen?
>>289425528More filler.
>>289425755Each Shen gets only half a brainThis is why Wulong is so retarded
>>289425873>he even has the eye scarThis is not the 1990s anymore. That shit hasn't been considered a cool part of character design in ages.

The manga literally said that Wu Hei was a supernatural being. Are you telling me the Connector is even stronger than a supernatural demon like Wu Hei that he taught Wu Hei how to Huisheng?>>289427983I can stomach Daisuke dialing up all of his design fetishes in Strive, but one thing I can't stand in that game is the way the music has devolved into cringy screaming dad rock. I loved Daisuke's music back in earlier Guilty Gear when it was focused on instrumental power metal. It sounded almost Falcom-esque. Now in Strive it's nearly impossible for a new character to not get some kind of a vocal track.
>>289430214Wu Hei was never supernatural, it's just an embellished tale
>>289429769Don't test SandroYou know the worms have cloning technology
>>289430256I will book a one-way ticket to Japan with intent to genocide every person working on Kengan Omega if he brings back Fei as a clone only to humiliate him further.

>>289425582Uhh, no. He stole some buttfuck no where inaka's techniques, remember???
>>289425266Leo looks like he lost his gains
>>289430042considering the way he's drawn for the rest of omega its very clear that daro/sandro would make him do a wacky goofy face and have his internal narration go "i'm so scared i might pass out", the fact he's still drawn in a non jokey way makes it read to me as if he's intentionally giving himself an out in case he pried too far and asked a question he shouldn't have
>>289425318cute boyfriends
>>289430687I understand your interpretation now, but him going "please deny it" in the following page looks to me like he was still half-in-denial and wanted to dismiss it despite knowing it's true
>>289430311Chopstick Johnny is Walter Cox.
>>289428876Anon, imagine drawing this manga. You'd lose yourself into the madness in like 80 chapters, its a miracle daro hasn't just become a mumbling mess.

>>289426143SHEYAAAA
>>289430817
>>289430817Hypothetically, what would happen if either Sandro or Daro were to just drop dead? Would they continue it despite about everybody involved wanting nothing to do with it anymore, or finally call it quits?
>>289425548It was fine when it was a cute little side thing in the BB like "Ha, these two stoic goofy boomers liking drinking" but as their relationship became more prominent and plot relevant, it becomes apparent how dull their dynamic actually is.

>>289425908I remember this fight was when i clicked on a kengan thread out of curiosity and read the "YOURE JACKED AS SHIT DUDE" chapter i saw absolutely everyone shitting on this fight so when the daily started i wanted to see why everyone hates it.Now i understand
If current Sandro had written KAT Ohma vs Raian, instead of being defeated, Raian would have just quit halfway through the match claiming that he doesn't own Erioh anything while Ohma internally monologues about how he doubts could have beaten him even at 100%

But this outfit adds nothing to Raian's character.
>>289429102>daro went out of his way to make the art harder and better>nah bro, don't do that
>>289431186Sandro mangaka tradition: Copy
>>289427888It passed the editor therefore it's a valid part of the manga now.
>>289425335>hey uncle joji I need the keys to our secret mansion>my boyf- I mean Ryuki and I are going there to "train">we need total isolation for it to be effective so make sure no-one interrupts us>it'll be "hard" but worth it
>>289425382Ohma looks like Motoko from the old GiTS movie/show. What the shit
>>289431352Why does Daro even bother to put in any effort any more when Sandro just keeps shooting his ideas down?
Xia Ji is still out there under a bridge somewhere
>>289431390Everything passes the editor though.Despite Sandro's assurances that it's the same editor as Ashura I'm starting to doubt that "he" exists at all.
>>289425277

We've seen a lot of "Sandro WHY"-tier drafts, but the absolutely most nonsensical one (in my eyes at least) is still a bit down the line.
>>289431471>Ryuki picked out the shirt with three puppies on it back when this was still Koga's story>people used this as evidence of foreshadowing Luohan >His shirt in this draft is "the mammal trinity"Holy shit, it's all connected...
>>289425351Not a fag but there needs to be a time lapse panel of them fucking on every empty space in that room in multiple positions with varying intensity.
>>289425395
>>289431352When I first heard about Daro using AI to cut corners and not having any remorse about it, I felt disgusted. But after seeing these drafts, I truly understand.
>>289431471Why is Ryuki wearing those forearm sleeve things that femboys wear?
>>289425277who's that guy on the left in the main panel, I feel like I've seen him before but can't place where

I like how even a basic katana isn't cool enough for Raian. No, Sandro has to give him a nodachi because it's longer. Literally just bigger dick bullshit at work here.
>>289425908
>>289426235>traducción no quiere estar en inglés
>>289431471Shoulda removed the chain on Koga and unironically just let Ryuki's outfit roll, it's known that his clothing preference is... unique.
>>289431776
>>289431788Done
>>289431554You know why.
>>289431471NO DARO STOP GIVING KOGA PERSONALITY TRAITS, THE OHMA HUISHENG SHOULD BE WORKING BY NOW
>>289431597Daro has been nothing but upfront about it, actually based in a way
>>289431547Same, at first I felt sad but upon viewing the raws I understand that I was still 'green', and that Daro is fighting every week against the strongest opponent of them all, 'literally Kuroki' aka Sandro
>>289429411You shouldn't ask questions you already know the answer to, it just makes you look like an idiot
>>289431782Wasn't Koga supposed to have weird taste in fashion too?

>>289431507
>>289431471>this completely unnecessary change done purely to make a blander productSandro might hate the reader as much as the reader hates him.
>>289425405What are those round thing? Is this so call diskette?No for real who the fuck still use CD
>>289425858FUARK
>>289431762I mean, nodachi really is just that much cooler. Its an actual curved greatsword that was used in battle, katana was just a meme symbol of your class. Like having a wojak on your waist. All cool characters use nodachi, not a katana.
>>289432065Those are 4k blurays of Rin's feet.
>>289429347YesNinja slayer
>>289431782>bottom rightRyuki why are you smiling at me like that....
>>289425266I don't get why Sandro pushes the supernovas so much when they job every time
>>289425335Big empty houses make me sad
>>289432134They are designated jobbers for Koga because he’s still a boat jobber in his mind and will never ever beat a KAT participant directly
>>289425369Why are they not training with everyone else, why not invite the super jobbers to this huge ass mansion.
>>289431903Yeah. Koga leans toward stuff like animal prints, chains, shades, darker colors etc. Delinquent/ """cool""", basically. Ryuki prefers colorful stuff with lots of different patterns and animal-oriented graphic tees (especially if it has stuff hanging out/off the shirt, he'd wear the fuck out of pic related.) That draft is really interesting because Daro actually remembered that Koga likes Nambu, going by his hat.
I'm binge watching a bunch of martial arts movies and I realized that Sandro is even more incompetent that I could fathom because somehow a two hour long movie that's 5% dialogue and 95% fights can have a better written storyline even if basic as fuck and I can actually feel some emotion other than rage.If you haven't already watch The Furious, really good movie, Yayan is always a scary motherfucker when he's a villain and I fucking winced every time Wei, the mute MC, got hit in the head.
>>289425612>They were different because Xia Ji sabotaged it>No, they're actually different>What's the point of Xia Ji doing that? I'll leave it up to interpretation
>>289425492Man I cannot, this guy is like Kenjaku, a gorillion years old dude that enjoys the passing of time and new trends, he loves people and the world. Why is the worm doing this
>>289431186>>289431235Interesting rec, I'll give it a try.
>>289425540Kazzy having a spine for once.
>>289425670Okay and, whats the issue.
>>289431471For the most part I've been ignoring the draft pages because who cares but this one actually makes me lividGod forbid your characters have a particle of the personality YOU, AS A WRITER, WROTE THEM TO HAVE
>>289431190Smug Chinese man
>>289425766? But you should know, you are a clone but also passed memories through the retarded ritual.
>>289425766How do you clone two different people from a single person, even with split brains.
>>289432302>personalityWhat? It's just clothes. Who cares about that. Now if they were eating food or drinking beer, THAT would be giving them personality.
>>289431190le Français suffisant
>>289425782Why not kickstart the clone program again. Surely its cheaper than all the terrorism and counter terrorism
>>289432213I felt like a good 15 minutes could have been trimmed, and there were some moments that really stretched believability, but I really enjoyed The Furious overall. Sandro could never write a 2v1v2 like in that movie.I'd be very happy if Yayan ends up being "that one guy" who only has like 10 minutes of total screentime in a martial arts film but makes every second of it feel like absolute kino.
>>289431471>ダサすぎるJesus fucking christ, Sandro.
>>289425908BANKAI, FEAST OTAKEMARU

>>289432364Mukaku destroyed ALL the facilities>but what about the data and such, all by himself?ALL OF THEM
>>289432036I believe Daro purposely made it as blander as fuck after the comment as a silent protest
>>289432433That was like 20 years ago, they started cloning on the fucking 1900s, surely technology can offset the data.
>>289432425>You're giving Koga and Ryuki interesting clothes that reflect their personalities? That's a yikes from me, Daro.
>>289431547You know... Daro might just be looking to be fired. Jap customs would make it impossible for him to quit.Too bad Sandwitch is an unfathomable wall to climb, especially when editor-kun apparently doesn't give a fuck.
>>289432077Going to put a nodachi user into my sci-fi adventure just for all of the space ship hallways to be too narrow for his sword.

>>289431186The worst part is that THAT guy is actually insanely cool and that manga is actually really good.
>>289432425>this is lame>btw I need a design of Raian in a trenchcoat with a katana
>>289431471>>289432392>>289432425Don't they canonically have bad fashion senses already?
>>289430214I still listen to Awe of She and some of the other old classics but it's undeniable that at this point Daisuke is basically making Japanese Pearl Jam. And not even the good Pearl Jam songs, the mediocre buttrock ones.
>>289432550The sense I'm getting of Daro's personality is not promising
>>289432392>>289432425Sandro, I don't even hate you, but WTF?!?
>>289432565Ryuki does. Koga likes vintage clothing, whatever that means.
>>289432583Daro?
>>289432565Yes. Sandro is saying no to Daro when all he's doing is just remembering traits/quirks that Sandro gave to the characters he literally created. Utterly unfathomable.
>>289427983>>289430214Guilty Gear characters and songs are cool, fight me!
"our" as
>>289432565>>289432686No wonder every outfit in Fortnite is generic
>>289432719I liked Haruo's at least
>>289432425>>289432392Sandro is just so full of shit. He always comes off as insufferably smug and condescending whenever I read these BTS pages.
>>289432748>BTSThe KPOP singers?
>>289425266>>289425277Wow! Two whole pages devoted to the wildly popular and relevant characters, the Supernovas!Surely the next tournament or event these guys participate in, they will be very relevant!
>>289432573I spent so much time playing the guitar melodies of older songs like Writhe in Pain.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVsLt1JuPfgEven his music in Xrd/Revelator had a lot of good fun instrumental power metal shit in it that I enjoyed playing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aNgRwK53e4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-4perdh_rEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDTbrjrJphcBut I just can't listen to his buttrock music in Strive. The vocals just feel so incredibly self-indulgent. Every time I hear the singing, I'm just imagining some balding guy with long dry hair in a black leather jacket trying to feel like a teenager again.

>>289433034I'll leave it open to interpretation
>>289433034Same reason he and Kuroki can't fight.
>>289433034It wouldn't be to the death, because they are best friends...
>>289433034WE'RE HAVING A KENGAN MATCH
>>289433034¬‿¬
>>289425598So he can also master the Niko style, right
>>289425766That's not how cloning works.
>>289433125It'd have some meaning if Koga and Ryuki have to rebuild the Niko style from its parent styles, rather than just asking the fully healthy practicioner willing to teach.
After Tiger Shen and Dragon Shen fight each other, it will be revealed that the entire thing was orchestrated by the true clone of the Connector, Solidus Shen, who became the Japanese Prime Minister.
>>289425823And there it is.The Tiger's Vessel is a vessel for the Tiger.
>>289433192Prove it. Clone yourself RIGHT NOW
>>289433222Very subtle way of saying Shen Wulong would get raped by Yujiro
>>289425844That bastard Willem...trying to not bother citizens
>>289433034Because that "godless bastard" would glance at Joji in the "drafts" just as the "fight" reaches its "conclusion"
>>289428784This is the problem when you're no longer writing a story, and are just cashing in the check.Raian is popular, for some reason. Giving him character development that makes him less Raian is risky.
>>289429419The state of my penis?
>>289425351is Uncle Joji's friend stronger than Kuroki's friend?
>>289433477>Raian is popular, for some reasonIs he, besides with Sandro? We've never had an official popularity poll since mid Ashura, where he didn't even place top ten.
>>289433034Joji is honorably Kenganvenger and Kenganvenger isn't allowed to look bad
>>289433568I don't want another popularity poll because I can already see the results using pre-initiative and I guarantee that Koga will be lower than Ohma.It's bad enough that we can see him get NTR'd out of MC status without it being backed by hard data.
>>289432425>how did you know I'm a bottom?
>>289433568Among normalfags, yeah. Maybe specifically SEA (Who're directly the cause for Gaolang screentime)
>>289433772We are Lolongchads thoughNobody cares about WHOlang anymore
>>289425978The "Tiger" and the "Dragon"
>>289432302Some time prior to chapter 50, Sandro inexplicably came to hate Ryuki and, in particular, Koga.
>>289432302>>289433986Sandro hates faggots and crossdressers.
>>289434020Why does he hang out with Daro then?
>>289425858I remeber I saw this out of context while reading Ashura for the first time and I thought it was so badass. The thought of Raian of all people getting punished and ending up in a trenchcoat with a katana is something that genuinely made me excited. I have zero clue how sandro has the ability to make me groan at shamelessly chunni shit becaude that's normaly my jam
>>289425649friend inside me
>>289430890Sandro dies, Kengan and every other project he worked goes with him unless Daro, MA'AM and Doi Nau try to keep the gravy train flowing because of the market being so ass Daro dies and Sandro finds himself a new artist who's willing to work on slop because the market is so ass why would the new guy let his standards get in the way of a paycheck
>>289434033I would not assume Sandro likes Daro based off the way he constantly shoots down all his draft ideas and tells him to make it worse every time. That's just cruelty.
>>289428929>even though it was 100% avoidableYeah Leg thrust would've totally flipped the situation around.
>>289434506Unironically if Raian just used his Kure techniques on a dude with way more damage than him he'd have been fine
>>289429997Sandro doesnt know shit about martial arts. He saw some karateka cut bottles as a demonstration and lazilysupposed that they train by smashing bottles all day long.
>>289431235Fucking love it when anons flip out at comparisons because they hold Kengan in such contempt.
>>289432425While I hate Daro's AI use and degrading art, I can understand. If I had to deal with Sandro constantly wanting a worse product I would also just phone it in.
>>289425858>>289425873Raian can never be cool.The Westward Wu will always be better in lieu of being the underdogs who can't get away with what Raian gets away with.
>>289431186Let's hope Sandro doesn't discover RWBY.
>>289434494I think Sandro genuinely believes his suggestions are an improvement, even though Daro is the person who bothers to account for the minor details like a character's poor fashion sense.Never forget Jurota standing on a mountain of bodies getting changed to some weird bar chart thing.
>>289431186Sandro isn't Yumigahama, so it's ok.
>>289434903>RWBYCurse you for making me remember this shit.
>>289434903>>289435059Funnily enough, it rivals Kengan's fanbase in terms of how hard some fans try and salvage the series's concepts.
>>289431531Setsuna wore an apron with a rabbit on it (with the same design as the Trinity t-shirt) in the chapter where he is Ryukis housewife, really activates the almonds...
>>289432808>But I just can't listen to his buttrock music in Strive. The vocals just feel so incredibly self-indulgent.One of the things that made me drop Strive was how unfitting a lot of the music was to fight to. Just about all of them needed vocalless battle tracks. I will admit, Roar of the Spark and Love the Subhuman Self are bangers, Ky and Mila have no bad themes.
