>>289667904>formless style: didn't hurt lmfao Wtf are you supposed to do here?
>>289667959Unfathomable....
>>289667818Liu, please...
>>289667751This "party" is starting really early today huh.
SHUT THE FUCK UP KAZUO
>>289667832Like I care!
>>289667904He's gotta stop doing this man.
I want to fuck Xia Ji
>>289667863Shut up
>>289668087AHAHAHHAHAHAA
>>289667943>>289667959This goes well beyond "visual" representation, there is no way to actually dodge that he is just turning into a water elemental
Chapter 283: As His Sword
>>289667996I don't understand why this is even a tough fight for Agito.He was put up a great fight back in Asura by trying to Outbox Gaolang. If he didn't limit himself to just strikes and used his massive deadly kicks and grappling he would have won much easier.And also, Agito knows the anti-gaolang fighting style he crafted in Asura. So why the fuck is he struggling so much?
>>289668087>>289668103What? How the fuck are you even supposed to read this manga with stuff like that
>>289668152Gaolangs "evolution" into his "all rounder style" has made agitos past "data" useless
>>289667959Logia + future sight
>>289668087>*BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPpppppp
>>289668217Look how hard Sandro wants to sell the intensity. LMAO
>>289668272Is Gaolang the Zoro of Kengan in terms of character writing?>>289668286>hunchback Gaolang
>>289668231>activating 2 flashbacks in a single fightngmi
>>289667818shut the fuck up sandwich
Kazzy shut the fuck up man for God sake!!!
>>289668119>didn't go down from one dragon shotLolong bros...
>>289667959C
>>289667959C...
>>289668353Kazzy might genuinely be my least favorite character in this manga at this point
>>289668337How come everyone can use elbows better than longlong?
Chapter 284: A Resolute Step Forward
>>289667764>>289667783Go kill yourself sandro
>>289668459OUR HERO
>>289667818I hate sandro so much it's unreal
>>289667904He's turning into a genie!
>>289668459What's up with this fuck my shit up ass haircut bro. Is this guy ok?
>>289667818I want to kill everyone in this picture, and out of this picture, including myself.
>>289668057Damn what are they feeding that guy
>>289668500not happening, I'm dying now!
>>289667959I fucking give up, man.
>>289668103The God Glow... misfires...
>>289668485The second panel is every chapter post the start of KvP for me.
>>289668496>>289668515Did he just steal lolongs move?
>>289668203>they were super injured from those previous fights guys we promise
>>289668248Someone put a cock shadow over his face in the bottom pic
>>289667863That's a hell of an upscale for a guy who lost to an anorexic midget no matter the circumstances.
>>289668586WEAK ELBOWS unlike King Lolongs
>>289668304Why would you use an elbow here instead of just punching, which has more range?
>>289668586the most brittle man in boxing
>>289668353Remember when not guarding was Seki's shtick and the whole point was that it was a retarded way to fight but he was so dedicated to it he made it work?
>>289668586SEKIBAYASHI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GAOLANG
>>289668640Who the fuck told him about the wall, wanst that just a thing in yans head?
>>289668459The Tiger half way to his bottle of wine
>>289668586This is kinda strange to me because is elbowing someone in the forehead going to do this level of damage? It's not like this is like Saw Paing he was fighting or something.
Feels like there are only 2 characters in this mangaThe hivemind representing all the fighters, and mouthpieces for Sandwich
>>289668640HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>289668640Having a WHAT to HUH?
>>289668548Elbow pussy...
>>289668677even if you're not saw paing your forehead is pretty damn thick
>>289668640...Say that again
>>289668640Wall mentioned
>>289668738Sorry for what? Literally, what did you even lose here?
>>289668605Rama is making him smell Gaolang's ass juices on his hands
>>289668668The "infection" is "spreading"
>>289668640The "infection" is spreading...
>>289668640>having a wall to hit...makes my heart sing
>>289668781>>289668783AIEEEEE
>>289668738>>289668762Yeah this, this whole tournament is just a pointless dickmeasuring contest
>>289668779Thanks for recapping what we just saw man Im blind and couldn't tell.
DONE
>>289668781>>289668783>1 second apart The "infection" is spreading
>>289668797>You were awesome Gaolang, top five swords I've had.
>>289668797This is extra funny considering what happens next with him
>>289668797HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER! HOWEVER!
>>289668826Thanks OP. That was shit but at least we can move on now
>>289668781>>289668783You got the timing right
>>289668781>>289668783The "infection" is "spreading" indeed
>>289668826Raise a triumphant cry, you mighty dumper.
>>289668826Objective ranking of the RCT fights so far.>1. Agito vs Lolong>2. Ramon vs Lolong>3. Justin vs Hiraku>4. Justin vs Gaolang>5. Gaolang vs Jurota>6. Julius vs Agito>7. Gaolang vs AgitoThe most awful fight I have ever witnessed in Kengan.
>>289667959
>>289667959unbeatable
>mfw
>>289668087
>>289668781>>289668783As expected of "me".
>>289668902Original Asura fight he animated a few years ago
I am cookin something
>>289668940Cool
>>289668944We getting thread statistics?
>>289668781>>289668783
>tomorrow is "that" chapter
>>289668901And a compilation of all of them to send the RCT off.
>>289669042I cant wait for my HERO yumigahama to show up again
>>289667818Fuck you Sandro. Fuck you
>>289668602Carlos was "literally kuroki" level there is no shame in losing to him.
>>289667885SHYEEEAAAHHH
>>289667904Somehow this is more bullshit than Shen's principles.
>>289669181You can atleast hit and damage shen, not much you can do against a water elemental.
>>289669048
>>289667904Every page of Agito Formleast is the same in the drafts
>>289669213truly a "masterpiece"
>>289668389This nigga has had two concussions in the same night.
>>289667923
>>289667959I know sandros editor just lets him do whatever but at some point you would think he'd look at a page and go>sandro wtf is this shit man?
>>289668248>>289668272How many more years until twink death hits and turns Rama into his father?
>>289667959I've got to see what the draft looks like for this.
>>289667982
>>289668448How the fuck do you spend most of your childhood starving and eating rats to survive then grow up to be fucking huge?That's not how that works, you need "nutrients" for healthy growth.This implies that Agito would actually be even bigger than he is now if he had a proper diet growing up.
>>289667764ah ok so weight does matter this chapter
>>289668605I want to squeeze Yan's cheeks too.Maybe his face as well.
>>289668485
>>289668826I'm glad Lolong got pumped and dumped just so we could get this "epic" rematch.
>>289669048>>289669239This might be the most insufferable part of kengan to me now
>>289667818You already said that this tournament, Sandro...
>>289669308>the C was in the draftsThe game was rigged from the start...
>>289668944He's acquiring "data".
>>289667863SHUT THE FUCK UP YAMASHITAKAZUO
>>289669370Agito had Haruo genetics but was gimped by a chinese diet
>>289668203Julius bros...
>>289667904Ridiculous
>>289668902
>>289667959"C"
>>289667959>CULO
>>289667959How do you respond without souding mad?
>>289668474This should be at least 30 years in the past, so why does nEko look like he was exactly as old as he currently is?
>>289668103
>>289668826But he lost badly to Kuroki in the Annihilation tournament. So what is he really the champ of? Jobber City?
>>289668164
>>289669594He's the champ of these 8 people.
>>289669571He huisheng'd himself into a clone the worm provided, a "tiger's vessel" if you will.We're actually on our third iteration of Niko.
>>289668286
>>289636464 >Agito landed the first blow>>289667764>BUT NOT REALLYThere can't be a writer who lies to their readers more than Sandro. Surely. I know subverting a cliffhanger is common among anything but this had the narration outright lie to you.
>>289668605oh shitformless kaolan
>>289668318
Reminder that Lu Tian was even better at formless so he would have cleared this tournament.Although it does beg the question how Agito landed any hits on him in their fight.
>>289668036We never see any of those siblings, do we?
>>289668459>Woah, a whole sewer full of free orphans!>Hey kids, you ever heard of martial arts?
>>289667764>>289667783Gaolang used King Crimson
>>289668353
>>289669693>Lu TianWasn't even "infected" he would have lost to a true "wall scaler"
>>289668779>Feint into knee? God Glow? Elbow?>DRAGON SHOT DRAGON SHOT DRAGON SHOT
>>289669693lu abandoned formless and went monkee style instead
>>289668164>>289668183"The cancer" is spreading
>>289669747Agito has been playing too much Tales of Symphonia before this tournament >DRAGON SHOT DRAGON SHOT DRAGON SHOT DRAGON SHOT>DAMN I MUST BE A GENIUS>DOUBLE DRAGON SHOT
>>289668412
>>289668434>Who was I?>Why was I here?>I don't know and I'm done writing for the week so just publish the fucking chapter bitch
>>289668781>>289668783I love and hate Keng/a/n so much
>>289668087Why is his face doing that? It can't be the wind from the god glow, because it hadn't hit yet, it can't be the wind from another blow, because he had a pause where he wasn't throwing anything.
>>289668459Why was Niko there?Is this what he does between orphan sacrifice sessions, urban exploration?
>>289668152>If he didn't limit himself to just strikes and used his massive deadly kicks and grappling he would have won much easier.Wrong. He tried to shift his style around because of exactly that when his striking wasn't working out and Gaolang forced him to keep striking.
>>289669813He is canonically broke so he has to do low budget hobbies
>>289667959Agito just couldn't wait to improve his form, see?
>>289667959Imagine fem kanoh using formless on your dick
>Ashura Agito>Large arsenal of moves verging on infinite when paired with formless for instant new styles on the fly>Omega Agito>formless turns you into invulnerable jelly and every situation can be answered by dragon shots
>>289668353What is it Kazzy? You're not basedjakking for once, is something wrong?
So is agito just invincible now?
>>289669213The random legs made me lol
>>289668904That company folded before these could dare recognize that brand name.
>>289668531>>289668548Wouldn't the dragon shot completely and utterly destroy any attempt at attacking the arm in this position? By just stopping the momentum, it can no longer put in any weight.
>>289668826I wanted Kao to win. Kanoh's spamming shit got tired five fights ago.
>>289668337Why doesn't Kaolon just rock the shit out of Agito by exploiting his broken arm...?>>289668353Agito used up too much Meter with Formless earlier so he can't "punch hard", I see.>>289668434Agito's not Japanese?>>289668586HE MULTICLASSED AND STOLE KUROKI'S THORNS!
>>289668474>Agito knows the Niko StyleAnd he never used it because...?
>>289668433Well elbowing is a big part of Muay Thai
>>289667959Guys yesterday I come to the realization that I genuinely and unironic like Omega until the Fortnite arcI Like Shen vs GaohI like water elemental formless(I never seen something like it)I like the whole Worm immortality thing and Gu Rituals And I like some fights of the Real Champions tournament Yes the whole manga should be like the Berserker bowl and the first 50 chapters and Ohma should stay dead (Ohma is my biggest gripe with the series ) but it's still continues to be a manga that scratch that specific itch of my brain, with every fight move having some scientific bullshitIt's not good but still intrigues and entertrains me(also I have to thanks everyone for amplifying the fun of reading it )
>>289669308Sandro has described the writing process of this manga as, he writes the down the dialog and then goes into detail about the choreography he wants, then he uses the red pen to tell daro to change things if he sees something wrong in the drafts. This means sandro saw this and went "yep daro drew this just like I asked him to" and saw nothing wrong.
Yumi soon.
>>289670080He spammed indestructible a bunch in Ashura, did he not?
>>289669571She taught him how to stop breathing.
>>289668496
>>289668337>Agito wants to avoid fighting within punching range and waiting for Gaolang to come within elbow range>Gaolang saw through that and did exactly that instead of outboxing him???
>>289668586
>>289668902Gaolang vs Agito 2 is shit but it's far from the worst in the tournament. Every other one is worse than it.
>>289668625
>>289668658
>>289670160Agito's aggro proc was almost off cooldown, Kaolon couldn't risk it
>>289668675
>>289668704
>>289670140I mean, yeah, I guess, we're establishing his "just like the Niko Style" was actual Niko Style, but I don't think he ever did anything else.
>>289668474Imagine a whole army of nikkers
>>289668718
It's pretty impressive really that he was able to grind the entire story to a screeching halt to show this tournament intended as fan service and no-one liked it.
Remember when Formless was a fighting style with no recognisable form and not the user morphing his corporeal shape?
>>289667885>>289667904SHYEAAAAAAAAAAA
>>289668738
>>289670327The finished page is better because the paneling in this draft gives me KvP finale ptsd.
Seriously how do you beat "scaled the wall" formless?
>>289668605>*squeezes your cheeks*How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>289670408Principles
>>289667818He said it!
>>289670408You have to "plumb" the "depths".
>>289667863That's a mouthful.
>>289668248>>289668272This is Sandro retconing his timeline because he saw people called out the inconsistency in dates
>>289668718Jurota can't stand watching this
>>289668074So why does he love the country so much if it's a fucking shithole where kids have to fight one another to death just for scraps of food whike the twink prince fucks around in the elite entertainment sector in Japan.
>>289668412>>289669782Dare I say I like how psychotic gaolang looks?
>>289670408Punch his broken arm after you break it
>>289670554He was groomed to be the royal families sword. And as we have seen with shen grooming is good.
>>289667959martial arts can do that?
>>289667959This fight brought to you by the letter C!
How do I use formless irl?
>>289668797>Raise a triumphant cry, you mighty champion.
>>289668902It's actually the best fight in the tournament, probably.
>>289668036I was not expecting backstory
>>289668826We're finally free. Now, it's time for "that".
>>289670671Reclass to Water Elemental, you unlock it from the Waterwall sidequest
>>289669913People shit on Ohma constantly, and understandably so, but I think I hate Omega Agito more than him. Or at least his fights anyway.
>>289667863>>289667904>>289667959
>>289667764Very nice of the narrator to mention that this is a fight where weight classes actually matter instead of being completely ignored. It's always a 50:50.>>289667818Sandro, I'm pretty sure I already read this exact sentence in the bottom right a few chapters ago.>>289667904>>289667923>>289667959There's no way to make this make sense. It just looks retarded. I don't mind supernatural fighting styles, but you don't even know what the fuck is going on, he can just randomly turn into water. It's not even a fucking technique or anything, it's just happening.>>289668272Rama looks very submissive and breedable in that middle pic ngl.
>>289668304cross-counter!?
>>289670408You have to "freeze" the "water" that is Agito.
>>289667863Kazzy shut upGo back to fucking prostitutes
>>289667959C KARA HAJIMARU A B C!C!!!!
>>289669571Louhan said that he became Niko's pen pal "over 30 years ago" so that means there's only a few years of difference between left and right
>>289670859He just worked out a ton
>>289670859Luohan's in his forties...?
>>289670408Use temperature changing attacks to either freeze or evaporate him
>>289670855Kaiji's GOD GLOW....
>>289668709>>289668677The elbow is incredibly strong, I've never heard of anyone injuring their elbow on a forehead bash. That's a good connection!
>>289670914wasnt he literally like six when he seduced niko, so he is in his mid to late 30's which makes sense because he is only supposed slightly older than ohma
>>289668640
>>289668902It's one of the better ones.
>>289668760
>>289668459>only 4500 dollars to go and I can buy that bottle
>>289668779
>>289668797
>>289668902I would probably rank Jurota vs Gaolang at 2, I think it's 1. Agito vs Lolong2. Jurota vs Gaolang3. Justin vs Hikaru4. Lolong vs Ramon5. Gaolang vs Justin6. Julius vs Agito7. Gaolang vs Agitoit's funny, I didn't realise how similar my list was to you until I made it, I was like "how did he have Lolong vs Ramon so high" but really it's more like those other fights were just so much worse. Gaolang vs Justin is insultingly bad, Julius vs Agito was the least interesting possible way to do what's actually a pretty neat matchup, and Agito vs Gaolang II is the absolute nadir of Kengan fights.
>>289668826
>>289669693Because Agito's switch mode is insanely difficult to handle because he gets foresight supremacy on anyone he fights. Only counter to it was Kuroki timing the gaps which no longer exist. Gaolang however can also just switch off other people's foresight (somehow) so it ended up being Agito having to use a pretty cumbersome switching style just to keep parity with Gaolang, which combined with Gaolang having anti-grappling for some reason made him - still - a much more awkward matchup for Agito in particular than we'd normally assume.
>>289671240
>>289670778I actually remember the specific fight where weight stopped mattering, the Misasa vs Yumigahama fight. Before then weight was always important.
>>289671270
>>289671298
>>289671251>which no longer exist.You arent ready for "fortnight" "me"
>>289671321
>>289670034Kanoh's style definitely declined but Gaolang fans were insufferable while this tournament was coming out (probably because Gaolang had his first win that was better than Kaneda) and were actively ignoring the quality of the fights so long as their fav won, then threw a fit when he didn't.
>>289671347
>>289668738Sorry for what?Our "daddy" taught us not to be ashamed of our "principles".
>>289671375
>>289670093"But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Kengan Omega."
>>289671391
>>289668781>>289668783Now that's what I call a perfect sync.
>>289668826Somehow after all the bullshit in Omega, Agito feels nerfed.
>>289671421
>>289670034Yeah I agree Kaolan's more likable and has a less bullshit fighting style than Agito
>chatGPT
Okay who told the kenganvengers about wall scaling?
>>289667959>the AI tool really messed up, I'm sorry Sandro, I'll redo this page->no. keep it.
>>289671484
>>289670983I don't think I follow, I need a middle aged salaryman to basedpog and tell me what just happened
>>289671512
>>289671545
>>289671545mogu mogu yummy
>>289671566
>>289668797Agito's own rules would have been take Gaolang to the ground and break his arms.Sandro and Daro have forgotten the Mixed part of Mixed Martial Arts.
>>289671587
>>289671614
>>289667847>>289667863That was literally the whole point of his fighting style back in Ashura, this is not a new development.
>>289671278I can't believe this BASTARD Yumi destroyed the story's consistency like that...
>>289671642
>>289670727Yeah, they nuked everything interesting about Agito's fighting style.
>>289669287This one is on Daro. But Sandro and the editor did let it slide too.
>>289671666
>>289671298Handsome
>>289671692Rama really looks like a girl here...
>>289671614>not a gif where he disappears after 1 frameOne job
>>289669332Rama is Thai royalty and obscenely rich. Dude can stave off twink death for a very long time just from the doctors he has access to in Bangkok
The fight at the start of the newest Black Torch episode was very Kengan coded, complete with timing and "quotes" and jobber rushes.
>>289667959C-tier
>>289671724Done.
>>289669813>>289669841Because I never get to share this information, there's a geocache in my city located deep in some old sewer pipes. I've never had the balls to try to get it.
>>289670555Nah, it's pretty good.

>>289667982is that my fuarking hero in the top panel
>Agito wasn't even suppose to be in the tournament>Sandro put him in there just to have Rolon and Gaolang(again) job to him
>>289668231>>289670505Sandro is unfathomable
>>289668183"that was the formless style"THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS THAT'S NOT HOW ANYTHING STABLISHED NOT EVEN IN ASURA BUT IN OMEGA ITSELF WORKS
>>289668272was rama added to the manga purely for me to jerk off or what
>>289670727He "scaled the wall" very well for unlikability in this tournament. >Gets in despite losing the qualifying match (therefore he's not a champion)>His formless is different from before, but it's not explained ever>DRAGON SHOT DRAGON SHOT DRAGON SHOT>I MUST NOT LOSE AGAIN I MUST NOT LOSE AGAIN I MUST NOT LOSE AGAIN>His amazing tactic to deal with Gaolang is... breaking Gaolang's elbow with his face>Landing a one inch punch on his arm from belowEasily the most obnoxious fighter in the roster. It's like he's inheriting Metsudo's pet status.
>>289668353>the super hard-hitting one-inch punch is too slowIsn't the whole point of a one-inch punch is that you don't need the wind-up of a regular punch. It should be easier to sneak it in than any other regular punch.>inb4 he has to slowly move his fist one-inch away to use dragon-shotWhy does he need dragon-shot again if it is somehow too slow and regular punches should be more powerful anyway? There's no way that starting a punch one-inch away has more power than the same exact punch with more space to accelerate.

>>289668337>he should not, under any circumstance, get within close range of kanoh>>289668353>which is why his immediate move is to start playing rock em sock em robots, what a genius!
>>289671581https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6P_m6adkgc
>>289669258its ok its just the split personality he's not using anymore that is accumulating all the brain damage
>>289669549What does It say on the top panel? "Make It shittier"?
>>289672023too many start up frames
>>289669988No. That match was a razor-thin margin that could've easily gone either way.
>>289672066"Frontal shot"
Hassad soon.
>>289671977>Here is a likely timelineYOU ARE THE FUCKING AUTHORWHAT DO YOU MEAN "LIKELY"
>>289670037Pretty sure agito said in the KvP that he was chinese
>>289672169He left it "open" to interpretation just incase he needs to "subvert" or "retcon" it again.
>>289671545>>289671566EXITthe most fraudulent referee in this entire series
>>289672154The Frontal Shot... misfired
>>289672169He is merely the prompter the "writer" is unfathomable to "us"
>>289672169You should stop interpreting nutrients that ask stupid questions.
>>289672178I don't think he says it but rather Metsudo says the cave they dug him out of was in China, right?
>>289672169Wtf is sandro supposed to do, read chat gpts mind?
>>289671724zamn
>>289668738i like how overtime gaolang's ponytail turned into like a dog ear
>>289670914Yeah,You just can't tell because of the art style
>>289671977Sandro...
>>289667764It's nice of Sandro to tell us when weight classes matter. Since there's no way to guess otherwise.
>>289668826So this means kanoh will face Shen in a Kengan match next, right? ... right?
>>289668459Tiger Niko came down looking for lunch, but Agito already took his catch. >>289668826Champion power rankings1) Agito2) Lolong3) Gaolong4) Jurota5) Julius6) Justin7) Ramon 8) Hiraku
>>289667818I think Sandro hates us and wants us to suffer.That's an easier pill to swallow than the idea that he thinks this is good writing.
>>289672268Nah I remember him saying he was from China and Misasa commenting how rare it was for Agito to talking about his past. Im too lazy to search for the page though
>>289672332no he and a ton of other fighters enter a gaint battle royal fornight tournament against shen and a ton of worms the only reason this tournament happened was to introduce wall scaling
>>289667818Sandro already made that jobber comment as if the first time wasn't bad enough.
>>289672362Unfathomable writing
>>289667904>>289667923>>289667959So what exactly is Agito doing in-universe?
>>289672410According to kazzy the strikes are hitting him but formless is just diverting midt tge damage, so imagine him doing that really wierd body slide thing
>>289671977Even if I accept this as stated it doesn't make a lick of sense.King picks out possible sword candidate while watching his usual child gladiator, but doesn't take him after a small period of observing. Instead he drags his feet for 5 FUCKING YEARS, where he even provides little support for Gaolangs family. Which again doesn't work because Gaolang loses his reason for fighting like a madman if his family is cared for, or he at least doesn't have to take the worst of the worst fights which while better for him would not be good for the king as it would make Gaolang weaker as a sword.Literally all Sandwitch had to do is not make it 5 years, even just 2 years would do and handwave the looks that Gaolang simply had to mature faster and his face makes him appear older. Not like we care about realism anyway WHEN WE HAVE A FUCKING 5 YEAR OLD SURVIVING AND EVEN EXCELLING IN DEATH MATCHES.Jesus fucking christ this shit is just crap on top of more crap.And this is all just ignoring the panel shown from Asura where it CLEARLY shows that Gaolang was recruited at 5.
>>289667904>>289667959Formless was always kind of dumb but I feel you had some idea of how Agito (and Lu Tian) were moving.This is just supernatural water powers now. Agito has no spine.
>>289669549>Agito's face doesn't look stupid enough Daro.>Daro you idiot Kaolan is "unfathomable", his face should be more stoic than that.
>>289672169I don't understand chimping out about this. I mean I do, but it's stupid. This is basically the author saying "this is not very important for the main story so I won't commit to this in case I change my mind later or you, the reader, come up with more satisfying explanation". World Trigger does it all the time and nobody gives Daisuke Ashihara shit for it. This isn't Silmarillion.
Formleast love!
I didn't think its was possible for formless to get more stupid than this
>>289672504Does this need to be spoilered anymore?Which Agito won, the black or the white one?
>>289672510I miss the funky anti box dance now.
Some Vol 28. extras.
>>289668826>tournament that just resets the status quo by making Agito the champion againAwesome Sandro very cool just defecate on Ashura some more.
>>289672612Gaiden tomorrow. Lol.
>>289672649Both of their arms just look wrong
>>289670859>>289668474Twink death hit hard
if they were just letting people in why not let in more top tiers like hatsumi or something?
>>289668640So Gao lost to Agito like 5 years ago in universe. What has he done to actually beat him. I swear none of the characters in Omega have learned anything from their defeats or move along the power scaling ranking
I'm a little salty that Agito asspulled his way to victory by breaking Kaolan's limbs with a magic one inch punch and his FOREHEAD????After a concussion?
>>289668797Gao is just not allowed to win.
>>289668826This tournament was fucking awful.What was the point, did the plot advanceWhat was the point of having 8 different "champions" if 90% of the fights were fucking stomps.What did this accomplish, this is filler.
>all of these spoilersFuck, "his" return was only two years ago? I thought it was more recent.And I don't remember when Five Fights occured now.My memory is getting worse with Kengan arcs
>>289672782It introduced wall scaling this will be very important once we reach the fortnight arc.
>>289672782They scaled the wall.
>>289672717They “scale” the “wall”
>>289672649Got the edit with all the forgotten characters?
>>289672800>>289672834What does that even mean. Julius was getting stomped and suddenly he said the scaled the wall and started landing hits but then Agito scaled it again.Why, how.
>>289667959>>289670658https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp0-yDJAtWQ
>>289672834i scaled the wall by handling 8 men in a row at a comic con hotel room orgy. little do they know... now, the infection is spreading >]
>>289672880>and started landing hitsNo he didn't.
>be an underground fighter>excited to represent your org in the upcoming inter-organisational tournament>suddenly, a Kengan fighter joins your relatively humble, smaller underground fighting organisation>beats the crap out of you and your co-workers>uses your organisation as a means to get into a new tournament>walls get scaled or something>tosses you all aside when that's doneSandro accidentally wrote Gaolang and Julius as the antagonists of another manga. He could've done some worldbuilding here and note that the audience members of the smaller organisations are boycotting the tournament in protest.Is this supposed to be LESS gross than whatever that ABYSMAL APE Yumigahama Hikaru does? Or will do?
>>289672880The Shen Raid Boss dropping included a level cap increase.
>>289672893Setsuna.....
>>289672268I believe we see the actual digging of the cave; can't remember if it's in Ashura or in 0.
>>289672717Sandro swears all his characters are x100 times stronger than their asura counterparts. Current Kaneda? Top 5 fighers in Asura.But if you right now ran another annihilation tournament with the same seeds not a single fight would go different
>>289670034>five fightsDON'T SAY THAT
>>289668826Anyone else get stronger after reading through this tournament?
Dragon shots are full swing hooks for some reason now.
Infection? Walls?Me? I already gone beyond "Osmosis" to reach "metastasis" and dig "below" the "moat"
>>289672929The strongest characters relative to where they were previously are Rihito and Saw I think but neither fight would go differently because Kuroki is still much, much stronger and Rei's paralysis hard counters Saw.
>>289672501>This isn't SilmarillionTolkien changed his mind all the fucking time too which is part of why the Silmarillion was never actually finished and the version we have is more of a mishmash of drafts. Over the years he went from "there were hundreds of balrogs" to "there were like 7 at most."
>>289668389Sandro wanted Agito to run a very intense gauntlet with Lolong and Gaolang but it's at the cost of all logic.Not a fan of Agito just having infinite health in his head and brain. Lolong and Gaolang are constantly attacking it.
>>289672973Sorry "me" but the fortnight update made all the powerscaling revolve around absorbing "nutrients" now.
>>289672952Agito has "scaled the wall" he can now use the one inch punch at any range and in any way.
>>289672985Remember when this guy was am amoral manchildren. Why does anyone even respect Kazzy anymore, what does he even do
>>289672501>>289672993>the Silmarillion was never actually finishedAnd there you have it. Tolkien never published his collection of drafts, drafts are FOR changing. Sandro just shits out whatever he has in mind.
>>289672993> "there were hundreds of balrogs" to "there were like 7 at most."Just like the worm!!!
>>289672534You be the one to decide.
>>289672994Agito's so fucking lameNothing anyone does matters to him because he's a water elemental and doesn't have bones or organs apparently, and his DRAGON SHOT does one gorillion damage because he calls it a DRAGON SHOT
>puts all his points into evasion and crit spam Whats the counter play?
>>289672879
To be fair Dragon Shot is a pretty cool name for a punch
>>289672612Pretty fucked up how they were subject to the textbook shonen arc of a larger org coming in to crush a smaller one the protagonists are in.
>>289673054He also has a busted ability that regens him to 2 hp whenever he ends his turn with 1 hp and built-in sturdy that ensures all attacks leave him with 1 hp if he has more than 1Kuroki has to use his tactic of winning in cutscenes to beat him
>>289673058I can't believe anon had a stroke and the final thing he thought about as he was dying was about Omega and Terashi of all possible characters.
>>289672906As much as Omega was already not good by then, I have a fondness for the KvP fighters introduction double spread.
>>289673102Actually Sturdy only works at full hp (unless they buffed it recently in one of the newer games). Funny enough, I think there was a MMBN setup that works just like that.
>>289668164>>289668183Formless is mental illness so Kaolan would have had to be "infected" with Agito's schizophrenia for this to work.
>>289672948I feel like I can sustain Okubo's no thinking technique for minutes at a time now.
So in universe how does formless divert damage again? Does he just roll with the punches really good?
>>289673108It's very fitting he thought of Terashi since he basically gave himself brain damage.
>>289673058Impressive how half of those actually returned
>>289673165Yeah I know, it's just that Agito's is much stronger than normal sturdy
>>289668015>Broken fist?>Break it harder>>289668412My man>>289668738I had an inkling this would happen, but damn it
>>289671421Kaola Wongsuuuu
>>289672994Mythically rare case where Sandro's writing actually sinks even lower than his FotS day, where a concussion resulted from a lucky hit by his opponent (as a result of a crack in the ring from a previous match that caused him to misstep while dodging) meant Joji lost his semifinals fight which he'd have most likely won otherwise.
>>289673165Sturdy working like sash was already a buff, before BW it was a useless "blocks 1hko moves" ability.
>>289668164>>289668183I see, Kaolan is a blue mage. That's how he was able to use copy magic to become a water elemental for a moment.
>>289672024same
>>289668164why didnt he use this in his fight with raian again?
>>289673507Raian's Mold Breaker Breaks the Mold!
>>289668738Good fucking riddance SHITlang
>>289673211Does Agito use FEAR? Except with Berry Juice + Recycle?
>>289673446Could Gaolang use "Bad Breath" like "that creature"?
>>289672976>SawI mean, I don't think he improved THAT much, he was always a strong motherfucker.
>>289673657Agito uses Minimize and fishes for confusion procs with Dynamic Punch.
MANOUSOS NO DROP THE KNIFE, YOU'RE GOING TO JOB AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE
How much longer until yumigahama?
>>289668826What a fucking mess of a fight>Weight class matters now, apparently>Agito literally turns into water>Gaolang learns formless style???>Agito's attacks suddenly lose the KO impact they used to have.>My flashback is better than your flashback>Dragon Shot, Dragon Shot, Dragon Shot, Dragon Shot
Why didn't Gaolang just spam god glow to counter dragon shot?
>>289673848Tomorrow.
>>289667959wtf is this shit
It's amazing how I can miss a month worth of daily chapter dumps, jump back in, and feel like I've not missed anything essential; it's exactly how I left it before. Hats off to you, Sandro.
>>289669042Almost every dump has a "that" chapter. Truly, it's a testament to Sandro's "skills" as a subverter that he can produce a "that" chapter on such a regular basis.
>>289667863Comparing this Yamashitakazuo to the first chapters of omega is so sad...
>>289668459how old was Niko here?
>>289674403We gotta do something about the skinwalker situation in Omega, man.
>>289668036There's also a secret, third option that you can do if you're a girl or girl (male)
>>289674403The "Dragon's Eye" has truly fallen
>>289668459>be me>really into the sapeur lifestyle>blow all my money on a nice suit>can't afford the place I stay at anymore>start looking into drainage pipes to move into>find a bunch of orphans in one>jackpot
>>289667926As I've said many times, this kind of writing can only be explained if Sandro writes each chapter in a stream of consciousness. That's exactly what he does.
>>289672612>our goal is to make this organization dedicated to pure entertainmentisn't that just purgatory?
Someone make an "afterparty" thread so we can discuss this "tournament"
>>289673507Sandro realized it was stupid so he replaced it with another stupid gimmick
>>289672345Despite that interview comment where he seemingly had a detached mindset for writing and only views Kengan as an "industrial product", the man very clearly feels a deep sense of contempt for his readers. It makes sense why he hates us and why he seemingly keeps getting more and more bitter as time goes on (with increasingly more blatant attacks on readers via 4th wall breaking), considering that he does not want to do this job. Again, that interview made it clear from Sandro's mouth that he was asked to write Kengan, and that it wasn't something he wanted to do himself; yet, he can't exactly quit since this is the only thing he's doing that's actually making proper money. So he does things like this where he preemptively mocks readers for daring to criticize him for falling back on lame fighting tropes.
>>289668485>>289668474Buried underneath everything there's a good narrative parallel about Tiger Niko rebelling against Gaoh and then doing his same "keep the top students (Fei) and throw the rest in a Gu Ritual." It's just executed horribly at every turn.
>>289672612>Gaolang is the champ of the most spectacle entertainment fight promotion>The guy who fucking HATES this kind of shit, despite being a pro boxer
>>289667904It looks silly but my real problem is that I LITERALLY don't know what Agito is supposed to be doing here. Is he "going limp"? Then how is also dodging forward and around? Or is the liquid effect just supposed to show dodging really close to the attack, because in Asura that was shown with the smoke-cloud effect, or with a "fake hit" for Hatsumi. What the fuck is even happening.
>>289675002>What the fuck is even happeningHe scaled the wall
>>289671979>Beast WarsNow that's something I haven't seen referenced anywhere for like 20+ years now.
>>289672510This fight was good, but Lolong Vs Agito was better.
>>289671977>>289670505Why does Sandro even bother with this sort of constant damage control? He doesn't care enough about Kengan to actually put in the effort to write a good multi-layered story with a carefully planned and paced overarching plot.He doesn't even care to the point where he publicly refers to his work (including Kengan) as an industrial product instead of art. Yet there's still one thing he seems to care about: Maintaining the illusion that he's thought everything out and is consistent about things, hence this constant damage control. Why? It's a bizarre thing for Sandro to get hung up on considering how he doesn't care about anything else.
>>289674712too soon, "me""we" must wait for this thread to "scale the wall"
>>289667818talking about real life when principles exist
>>289675276He has to pretend he is putting in effort for his bosses at comikey.
>>289671614Hey he is a slime!
>>289667904>>289667959>>289667982>Agito puts himself in a position where he can't just slide an attack off of him>Does it anywayWhat the fuck are you suppose to do against Formless. "loldidnthurt" "lolyoumissed" spamming bullshit>>289668142>>289668164Gaolang copies Formless because fighting Agito again is giving him PTSD>>289668586>>289668797>>289668826>Gaolang breaks both his elbows >Loses to the same guy in front of his fuckboy Master, again>Agito regains his position as the biggest cock in Kengan This tournament was nothing more than Sandro wanting to reestablish Agito as the "Emperor" again and needed to embarrass Gaolang, Lolong and Jurota in the process
>>289668434This right here marked Sandro's 4th and final break for this tournament. Imagine that. 4 breaks in 25 chapters.>>289668826And there it is. The RCT is over. Reminder that this trash tournament took OVER HALF A YEAR.25 chapters released over 29 weeks (thanks to Sandro being so exhausted by writing this that he had to take 4 breaks in between) when it was shat out in 2024.
>>289674559
>>289670554He’s not a nationalist he serves the crown out of personal obligation.
>>289669048>>289668902It's funny when you look at this compilation and this webm side by side. The fights barely have any choreography and actual fighting, but they're padded out over the course of multiple chapters with constant (and I mean CONSTANT) filler panels of characters having slackjawed reactions or commentating about what's happening (or sometimes not even commentating, just describing what we just saw because readers are apparently so retarded in Sandro's mind that they need someone to tell them exactly what they just saw).
>>289672880It works like rubber banding in racing games against the AI
>>289668826For all you "green" readers out there, do you understand now why this is the worst and most boring tournament in the series?
>>289671342>these gapes are about 0.5 seconds longI knew starcraft players with more than 240 APM were only korean conspiracy theories
>>289667959>turns into a CThe strongest technique yet…
>>289668704>>289668779>Gaolang looked like he hit first because Agito had to “counter” it>Knee should also be stronger than strike>But Agito won because his technique is named (for the last fucking time that isn’t how one inch punch works)This is all so retarded
>>289667832>Visible ElbowUnfathomable....
>>289675360Nobody in the higher ups (whether at Comikey or whatever JP publication Omega comes out in) cares about any displays of putting in effort. As long as Omega is producing enough money to make the head honchos happy, they' don't care about anything else. I doubt any of these people have even read any more than like 2 chapters of Kengan Omega.These efforts are purely Sandro's attempts at saving face. He's a hipster who cares more about maintaining appearances than anything else.
>>289667818So...is Nitoku's collar white or black? Daro can't seem to stay consistent on this.
>>289676105White? Or black? Which is it?
Tomorrow's dump is going to be one hell of a doozy.Be sure to come early.
Is hobo extermination chapters tomorrow?
>>289676279Yes make sure to get the "timing" right
>>289676215Can't wait for our PROTAGONIST to come back
>>289676279It's very conveniently a 3 chapter arc, so we can have all of our rage and frustration contained in one dump.
Initiate after-party "protocol"
>>289669713>>289674661Kek, I love poorfag tiger. It's going to be almost too perfect if Koga really does end up fighting him.
>>289677701>>289677732>>289677752Your obsession with other men's assholes will never be normal.You didn't condition anyone to be triggered by the word "break".You're just gay.No one thinks you're "trolling", everyone just thinks you're mad that your narratives are called out and you're told to stop shitposting. You're just so fucking lucky you have Troid here to obsessively ban anyone who tells you to fuck off. You literally have a dedicated mod babysitter. He literally just sits in the thread to delete posts that tell you to fuck off and doesn't even pretend to care about the quality of the site. Seek help, Austin. And you too, Troid.
