Chapter 355: Arashiyama Vs. Toa
>>290271347>>290271362What the fuck is this dialogue?
>>290271337>>290271493>Big hits just completely eating up the page and the target is completely obscuredIn the same chapter too.
>>290271508Thanks for letting "me" know, "me".
>>290271521>catalog specs
>>290271297What a fucking chapter name to start.
>>290271521Kurokibros... SHITTY BASTARD LUOHANbros...
>>290271521You can really feel how much he regrets killing Eddie.
>>290271537Gilbert has... Anti-Principles...?
>>290271567Julius, you were just yelling at him for doing precisely this to you
>>290271403MOUNT TAINORTH STAREIGHTFOLDPILLOWFIST
>>290271619And there it is
>>290271567>He FLEDI know Agito mindbroke you Julius, but sheesh.
>>290271347so removal is the product of eugenics but the founder's version was actually special/the strongest?
>>290271589Litteraly why would you write this. What a fucking joke, why even bother with this character or this entire storyline, why give it any screen time at all? If fucking julius can beat this guy then why shoudl we have viewed him as a threat in any way? Im actually fucking mad, this manga is so fucking dogshit, its unbelievable. At some point it was at least entertaining but now it feels like sando is trying to get it cancled by making it as bad as possible
>>290271567>Why didn't you finish me off?>You're not even worth defeatingOur... hero?
>>290271537Shouldn't it be the other way around, that his young mind is holding his body back?
>>290271438>>290271450EXTREMELY FUNNY PAGES>>290271567when placed side by side. Looks like Julius scaled the morality wall.
>>290271601He has Edward's personality, memories, and everything. Unfortunately, he doesn't have smoker's lung so he is "weak"; specifically, "too strong to win".
>>290271589Straight up Alai Jr vs Jack.
>>290271508>>290271537Bros, I'm starting to think Huisheng is just a hocus pocus meme.

>>290271758>Your power is unfathomable. I was right to fear you.I refuse to believe this is the real dialogue and not a meme translation.

>>290271872BUENOS DIAS MANDY
>>290271868My bad, "me". I got my "timing" wrong.
>>290271318As much as we might not like Ohma or Raian or anything like that, this block really could've used some "GET REAL" energy to it.
>>290271897COUNTER HEX?
>>290271758Who the hell is that in the top left?Is he from a different manga that comikey is advertising?
>>290271897Oh no he lampshaded Sandro's writing crutch, guess he has to die now
DONE
>>290271347How does it even look different, it's just usual hulk roids and V E I N S
>>290271872>AAAAIIIIEEEEE NOT THE BACK SLAP
>>290271936Yeah so did we Toa.This is your third fight where you get clobbered you big fat fucking jobber.
>>290271727BING BING>>290271743WAHOO

Fusui>Karla
>>290271758>H-HE CAN WALL JUMP LIKE MARIO!? FULL POWER HEXING GOOOOO!!!
>>290271521>may be even too strong, in fact
>>290271950>If I get thrown enough, I'll figure it outSorry Toa, you're not some braindamaged Ernie doll. That won't work.
>>290271837Extremely comedic panel
>>290271880kek
>>290271991
>>290271950Sandro's thought process this chapter is very funny>Alright this time I'll have Toa be a master of fighting outdoors, throwing rocks and bark, should be funny>Wait do I even know how to write this>Does Daro's computer even know how to generate this>Fuck this he's just gonna tank everything until he gets the timing right, that always works
>>290271950I WILL SCALE THE WALL
>>290271438>WHY DIDNT YOU FINISH ME OFF>>290271567>YOURE NOT WORTH DEFEATINGtheres no way to explain this besides chat GPT, or Sandro is that much of a retard
>>290272079It's the same shit as >Two versus one? YOU DIRTY BASTARD LUOHAN I'LL KILL YOU>Two versus one? They were real warriors.
>>290271950>sf6okizeme.jpg
>>290272079ChatGPT would unironically have a better sense of continuityFucking AI Dungeon would have a better sense of continuity
>>290271633Meanwhile, at the plot.
>>290271991Many are saying this.
>>290271649>They're getting going tooI thought they started at the same time.
>>290272053Daro needs to step up his feet drawing skills
>>290271727I do enjoy Mudo being stoic while being thrown.
>>290272159>Daro*looks over at Drawotron 9000*Uhh yeah sure, Daro.
>>290271297OP: Since Sandro decided to bless us with a break week, at the current pace the last daily would be made up of a single chapter. Should we instead end it one day earlier by doing the last four chapters together?
>>290272159This man has not improved him profile drawings AT ALL, what makes you think he'll bother with feet?
>>290272158Time is convoluted in the Kenganverse. A man can be running at full speed over a short distance and still take hours to reach his destination.
>>290271950>I tank his throws with my skull until I can land a perfectly timed strike
>>290271991Fusui is the hottest girl, so yes
>>290271758>top left
>>290272256And it would work if he was a higher tier fighter.
3 days left...
>>290271552>>290271567>>290271589>You were too weak, that's why you weren't defeated
>>290271991The toes are facing the wrong way on her left foot
>>290271758Truly unfathomable
>>290271347>Puny, puny, puny insect!>Stop hopping around and stay squashed!I'm not feeling this. It's like Sandro is trying to have his own Dio Brando but it doesn't work because Araki didn't spend many chapters humiliating Dio before he became a major player.
>>290271418>flesh golemHow does he know gilbert is a clone again?
>>290271450>I know everything about you Gilbert.>Raian talked all about you in the official Kengan Discord.
So what is next afer this is over?
>>290272321This is simply what Sandro thinks how British people talk.
>>290271950If your strategy was that you can prevent one throw by making it rip clothing instead or whatever the fuck...Why did this even need to be there, just get thrown one extra time.
>>290272361Danberu, of course.
>>290271521Wait if shen just fights the other worm jobbers when he gets bored why dont they all know "principles" and why haven't they "wall scaled" as hard as the kenganvengers?
>>290271837Between his tulpa and his style being literal magic I've actually started to like Jurota.
>>290271589>>290271601>>290271619
>>290272419You're not supposed to remember "scaling" the "wall" except when the protagonists are doing it
>>290271567The Edward Maneuver
>>290271633>Did they finish?>Yeah we can go now.
>>290271567you're not slick, BITCHlius
>>290271668Wasn't this guy bigger than Julius
Was gilbert too strong to win?
>>290271619>unnyaaaah
>>290272419I was about to say maybe he has only fought eddie but then i remembered even the nameless numbered worm jobbers have thrown out a "he is just like the connector" so yeah I guess they are not kenganvengers so they just job.
>>290271743>Sandro: I need to have a fighter that takes advantage of this environment. Should I have it be the literal fucking ninja Falcon, or Toa...hmm.....
>>290272419>>290272492>>290272595"Wall scaling" and "Principle sharing" was only added during the RCT tournament mechanics patch and did not apply retroactively.This also explains why Mukaku had neither "scaled the wall" nor had any type of "principles" despite facing the connector multiple times.
>>290272564No, he was too young. Please ignore that he's roughly the same age as Raian or Ohma etc.
>>290272595By the way it makes no sense for the 100% Removal and Superman Syndrome guy whose name I forgot to have known Raian was just like the Connector when the entirety of his experience with Shen was briefly meeting him when Gilbert brought him along.
>>290272669You only need to see the Connector once to "see" the "wall"
>>290271778he knows...
>>290271651One of the less offensive reveals considering that Wu Hei was supposedly "born" from the earth itself
>>290272742Considering he’s 5000 years old maybe the black eyes are just neanderthal genetics
>>290271872>>290271881>>290271897There there it is!There some potential to edit this with the The Ol' Spicy Keychain comic
>>290272669Doesn't raians magic sword happen after the rct, willem could have gotten atleast one jobber sparring match between mukakus death and that.
>>290271950This is literally what Jurota did for 2.5/3 of his fights and it went tits up in 2 of them. The math ain't mathing Toa.
>>290272287I'm kinda surprised there are no Gachi Mucci x Kengan Omega crossover memes. There is so much potential for it.
>>290271521You can't convince me that sandwich doesn't hate Gilbert more than he hates Louhan.He interrupts Gilbert's fight with a flash back to show us that he remembers how cool Eddie used to be.
>>290271362Real mixed messaging here.Should Julius stay squashed or get up?You should stick to simpler instructions if you want to get through his roided brain
>>290272969He realized his plot turn buff was still active and quickly panicked because he knew he needed to shit more damage out before Julius' turn activated.
>>290271347>>290271362Gilbert's dialogue is so bad, man
>>290273086Only a "nutrient" would say that
>>290271390>>290271403>>290271418Eddie's technique™ that deals 0 damage!
>>290271633
>>290272345Gilbert is the one calling Julius a flesh golem
>>290272782I saw a Kengan edit of this comic once. I think it was the one with the spicy leech.
>>290271438Julius Style: Didn't Hurt (not a technique)
>>290271585But what's weird is that Sandro could have used Gilbert as an excuse to soft-retcon Eddie's deathJust have him dress like Eddie (he actually did this once), behave like Eddie and be treated with respect like himInstead, he's been handed nothing but humiliation ritual after humiliation ritual after he beat Raian off-screen
>>290273237(no lol because Julius doesn't laugh)
>>290273308That already got thrown out the moment he decided that he's better than Eddie for no good reason after his subordinate got slaughtered.>I'm no king>I'm the GOD OF THE UNDERWORLDJust kino writing really.
>>290271601Meanwhile back during the Haruo fight.
>>290273308It's genuinely an insane character concept.>what if this really cool guy got cloned and his clone has his exact personality and memories but everyone shits on him all the time and he also isn't nearly as cool as the main guy for some reason despite supposedly having the same personalityIt's like if Frieza got reincarnated as his fat little nephew Breeza and his main rival was Krillin and he lost all the time.
Flesh golem is what I call Xia Ji in the bedroom.
Kinda rude to call a German a "golem" no?
>>290271567Fucking punk ass bitch ass nigga, ABSOLUTE FUCKING FAUD
>>290272246The purgatory corridor time warp is no joke
>>290272159They're good, the problem is he prefers giant ugly dude feet
>>290271897Based anti-hexer Toa
Seeing how the "no killing" rule doesn't seem to actually matter for this tournament gilbert should have used a lethal move
>>290271659Shhhhhhhh don't think about it
>>290273618He did Mount Tai is supposed to be lethal
>>290272256Worked twice so far
>>290271567People are mind broken at this page. Julius wouldn't finish you off.
>>290271758It feels like yesterday when I downloaded this
>>290273618Why did they add a no killing rule if there goal is to stop the worm? Half the kenganvengers are assassins its not like they would object.
>>290273669Who knows, the worm themselves are outright forbidden from interfering too.
>>290271521I like how Eddiefags still haven't learned their lesson and think that this actually means anything, like how apparently Sandro "regrets killing Eddie".This is no different than when we learned that Lolong had more wins than Waka and tied with Lolong. It's literally just more empty compliment hexing.It's especially funny considering that in the picture Shen isn't even breaking a sweat or showing any bruises. He's just standing there like he's strolling through a park while Eddie is drenched in sweat, filled with bruises and has half his clothes torn.Also, people don't seem to realize that by giving this page credibility, they're saying that Raian (especially post-Otakemaru Raian) would put up an even better fight than Eddie did here.
>>290273669The trauma from Kazzy and Nogi's family means death matches are permanently banned in then kengan association
>>290273715>and tied with LolongLolong upscale
>>290271508>>290271521based ZERO FEAR Edward
>>290273618He claimed like half of his moves were lethal no? He's just that weak.
>>290273715>Lolong tied with LolongSo, the Rolon moves...
>>290271758>dumper doesn't want to dump
Hassad soon.
>>290271508>>290271537>explains that huisheng only gives you a ton of past memories and doesnt actually rewrite you personality >its his younger body not his younger mind holding him backHow the fuck does this even make sense even ignoring the "higher specs" thing gilbert is in his physical prime age wise and eddie was a middle aged chain smoker. If this was any manga besides kengan I would assume this was a mistranslation because of how retarded it is to immediately contradict yourself this hard in 2 pages.
>>290271872But what if
>>290271585>>290273308I wonder if Sandro regrets Eddie's death in the sense that he feels like Eddie didn't get humiliated enough, which might actually explain why Gilbert has been getting nothing but humiliated over and over again.Basically Sandro is humiliating Gilbert because he literally can't humiliate Eddie since he's already dead.
>>290271872Does a slap on the back hurt this much?
>>290274067You can say he threw his back out.
>>290271659I tried to salvage this and came up with>you see gilbert, you haven't gotten your ass royally kicked before>you haven't experienced enough defeat>you haven't experienced enough frustration and anger from losing like a bitch>you're too sheltered without enough scar and pain in your life>so you haven't really started thinking seriously about winning and killing a nigga yet>your inexperienced body is holding your mind back, yep - connector
>>290271430>Ultimate Wu Technique doing fuck all as per usual>>290271450>>290271438>"WAAAH WHY DIDN'T YOU FOLLOW UP ON YOUR ATTACK, YOU'RE IMMATURE! FUCK YOOOUUU!">>290271537>>290271567>>290271521>>290271601>>290271619>Gilbert is stronger than Eddie>But he is immature so he sucks>Julius calls Gilbert a bitch who's not worth the effort and leaves>This mindbreaks GilbertThis is a very embarrassing fight for both partiesAlso realistically Gilbert didn't fuck up here, Julius just FUCKING TANKED the ultimate Wu technique for no reason and got two punches in before retreating since Gilbert clearly can just get back upYou can tell this is one of Daro's least favorite chapters because of the obvious usage of Ai that he couldn't be fucked to hide with a touch-up
>>290274023Could always humiliate him through a flashback if he had the mind
>>290271633How very kind of them to patiently wait until the Julius/Gilbert fight was over for them to start their own fight.Can't have any simultaneous battles happening in this battle royale, after all.
>>290273652Why would Julius not break Gilbert's watch in the tournament where you need to collect points?
>>290271897Every time Sandro lampshades his own writing, an angel loses its wings.
>>290274114He kind of did when he made an 'Eddie gaiden' chapter that was centered entirely on how he was getting bullied by some mafia goons and needed to be saved by Erioh who is all on his own.
>>290273618Does the no killing rule actually exist in this tournament? When was that stated?
>>290274156When Alisa explained the rules to the Worm.
>>290274156It seemingly also has a rule about not stomping your opponents face in since so many tell their opponent to "get up"
>>290274180Alisa would NOT have said that.
>>290271306Fuck, 3D punch
>>290273972Well you see, he isn't used to being able to punch really hard so he's actually punching weaker!
>>290271326Is he just a Tyrant.
>>290271521I wish Edward was alive.
>>290273715>they're saying that Raian (especially post-Otakemaru Raian) would put up an even better fight than Eddie did here.Not really. Nothing implies that.
>Toa is suddenly a monkey hopping off of trees
>>290274236>he reads Kengan with his old red and blue 3D-glasses
>>290273978Yumi is such a prankster.
>>290271659>>290273972If I had to guess then Gilbert has Edward's memory, but because Huisheng doesn't create perfect clones, said memory is being run on Dumb Teenager OS. But the entire chapter is schizo writing by chatgpt anyway so whatever.
>>290274180>>290274193I just skimmed it. There's not a no-kill rule.
>>290274367We had a literal ninja character who would have been perfect doing this shit.Unfortunately he got fed to Gilbert so that Julius defeating him is impressive or something.So fuck it just have one of the biggest, heaviest characters do acrobatics instead.
>>290271872>>290271880
>>290274067The slap is actually his Cursed Technique Reversal. His regular Cursed Technique is inertia negation, which is how he's able to throw his opponents like nothing. When the technique is reversed with Reverse Cursed Energy, it becomes inertia magnification. So that slap is hitting with the effective force of a speeding truck. Thankfully, Toa was able to react quick enough to use Gyo to concentrate his Nen in the targeted area to defend himself and mitigate the worst of the damage.Truly a high level exchange.
>>290272079>some fag shoots and teabags you in an fps>get mad at them for humiliating you>find them and shoot and teabag them back >be smug because you humiliated themAs much as it sickens me to be defending sandro even on a minor point, I feel like this particular case isn't as bad as people claim.>>290271450Actually nevermind I forgot julius immediately goes on this full self-righteous spiel about how not finishing opponents off is immature. I was the fool all along.
>>290271601>>290271837>>290271848He punched!
>>290274114Are you forgetting that the man wrote an entire garden dedicated to just that? It was, on the surface, an Eddie gaiden. But in reality it was more of a second Erioh gaiden that was used to humiliate Eddie.
>>290274367Sandro forgot that he wrote Toa to have a pseudo Niko fight style
Eddie was jobbing to the fucking mafia at Gil's age btw
>>290272079In the hands of a competent author, you could very much make the point that an assassin should aggressively finish off opponents in a way that a sportsman who occasionally moonlights in Kengan matches wouldn't. It's even noted in early Omega when Kazzy takes steps to keep Ryuki from killing Kokuro on reflex after the match is over. Unfortunately, at this point Sandro's AI has earned nothing but bad faith.
>>290274689Now, now, let's be respectful. I heard the secret unit of the Sicilian Mafia could take THE LEGEND, Himuro Ryo on in a fight, and eke out a narrow victory.
>>290274689Sandro totally regrets killing Eddie btw. He actually loves Eddie.
>>290271701>>290273972I maintain that you could make Huisheng come off as at least 10 times less dumb with an incredibly minor change. All you would need is a single page, maybe two at most, explaining how the Connector's version of Huisheng involved a complicated cocktail of ancient chinese drugs that the reciever was dosed up out of their mind on while they were told the previous Connector's life story. Suddenly there'd be far less suspension of disbelief needed to believe that a guy got gaslit into thinking he was someone else just by being talked to a bunch, and it would even fit in with the whole 'immortal ancient chinese mountain hermit' theme. But I guess even putting this small amount of thought into what he writes is beyond Sandro.Hell you could even claim that the Wu were just using a shoddy imitation of Huisheng and were missing the whole "drugged up out of their mind" part to explain why most of the Wu Heis were such a joke and barely resembled each other in personality.
>>290271521I remembered that page differently.
>>290273308My armchair analyst stance is that Sandro has grown so addicted to subversion he's pre-emptively subverting his own future plans out of a desperate desire to make sure his writing isn't seen as predictable. He kills off a cool villain early because the audience will never see that one coming, then regrets it and brings him back in a roundabout way, but then decides that making Gil into literal Eddie 2.0 is too predictable and subverts that by turning Gil into a joke, then decides that the succesor not being able to live up to the progenitor is too predictable and tries to make Gil cool again, and then ends up stuck oscillating between the two.
>>290271619Gilbert is such an incredibly pathetic character
>>290274441Chapter 327, page 8, "I was told that taking life was against the rules." >>290060034Stop being as dumb as Sandro thinks you are.
>>290274106You know that does kind of work. It's definitely not what Sandro was going for but I can at least see that line of reasoning making sense.
>>290271438>>290271567
>>290274885Screw you. I don't remember every bit of insignificant slop. It's not like anyone would die even if there wasn't a rule anyway.
>>290275100Imagine not having the kind of autism I have. Smh.
>>290275126I have all the data I need. It was just one thing I wasn't sure of and convinced myself it didn't exist.
>>290273715He regrets Eddie looking too cool on his way out and not losing clean to Raian
>>290275149This is how Sandro operates all the time
>>290274689My hero Eddie is so polite and considerate towards the elderly
>>290274689Funny that Gil looks more like 40 year old than Eddie himself did at his age
>>290273934>reader doesn't want to read
>>290271991popular opinion
>>290273715I remember when people were speculating Sandro was offended IRL by a huge blonde Chad as badly as he was presumably bullied by a monke-like man at some point. I maintain Eddie and Gilbert exist in this manga to prosecute a grudge against a man who probably doesn't even know Sandro exists.
>>290271508Should I hate Shen because he's a groomer, or should I pity him because he's a victim of grooming?
>>290273308Sandro is incapable of thinking more than 1 chapter ahead.His writing decisions make sense with this in mind.
>>290275672Grooming is a good thing and you should hate that EVIL INCARNATE Luohan for trying to break the cycle
>>290274482kek
>>290275672You should hate Luohan for breaking the cycle of grooming, according to Kengan Omega.
>the first page of chapter 21 of Utsuranain desu>"It" is on the move...MAKE IT STOP
Important reminder that Star#6 from Strike it Rich easily raw-power mogs the entire Kengan Association> There is no need to "scale" the "wall" when you can instead "break down" the "gate"
>>290271306
>>290271326
>>290275629If his treatment of Eddie reflects an IRL hangup from a blonde bully, then I can't imagine the IRL hangup he holds against a bully with glasses and a mustache named Luohan.

>>290279996I really hate Sandro's sleazy use of vague, slippery language (like "supposedly" in this case). He just refuses to hard commit when it comes to worldbuilding. He always has to qualify statements, even in manga extras or character bios (see, for example, the recent Gaolang extra where Sandro talks about a "likely timeline of events", as if he himself is just a commentator or scholar studying Omega, instead of him being the manga's author).

Here is the likely chronological timeline of how Edward Wu successfully passed his life, memories, and techniques down to his genetically modified clone and "son," Gilbert Wu.Phase 1: Creation and Early Childhood (Ages 0–4)The Cloning Process: Edward uses the Worm's advanced biotechnology to create a clone of himself. Gilbert’s DNA is genetically modified to be a direct physical upgrade to Edward’s already monstrous base stats.Introducing the Speaker: As soon as Gilbert is old enough to comprehend speech, Edward introduces him to the audio-sensory environment required for Huisheng.The Headphone Habit: Because Edward is a busy faction leader who travels globally, he cannot physically sit with Gilbert for hours every single day. He records his detailed life stories or uses a closely monitored surrogate speaker to play loops into Gilbert’s ears while the toddler sleeps or plays.Phase 2: Elementary Brainwashing & Fact-Loading (Ages 5–10)The Daily Monologues: Edward tells Gilbert about his childhood in the Westward Faction. Gilbert is forced to listen to every mundane and major detail—what Edward ate, his early training routines, his thoughts on his brother Howard, and his first kills.The "Other Me" Realization: Gilbert’s brain is systematically rewired. He is trained to view Edward not just as a father, but as his own past and future self. Every night, the repetitive stories act as a "Soul Echo" to overwrite Gilbert's individual identity.
Phase 3: Muscle Memory & Experiential Linking (Ages 11–16)Connecting Memory to Pain: Edward matches physical training with verbal Huisheng. When teaching Gilbert how to use the Guihun technique, Edward recounts exactly how his own body felt when he first achieved a 100% release rate.Reliving the Battles: Edward recounts his exact tactical thought processes from his past fights. Gilbert visualizes these encounters so intensely during his daily listening sessions that his brain stores them as firsthand combat experience.The Ego Split: Gilbert struggles with an identity crisis. He lives the life of a modern teenager but possesses the internal ego, confidence, and arrogance of a grown underworld heavyweight.Phase 4: Final Synchronization (Ages 17 until Edward's Death)The Memory Update: As Edward engages in the events of Kengan Ashura and Kengan Omega, he continuously updates the Huisheng narrative, feeding Gilbert his recent memories, including his interactions with The Connector, Shen Wulong.The Safety Net: The process is finalized with a specific contingency. Gilbert is told: "If I fall, you awaken as me."Phase 5: The Awakening (Post-Edward's Death)The Trigger: Kure Raian kills Edward Wu in the Inside.The Rebirth: Upon receiving news of Edward’s death, the mental blocks in Gilbert's subconscious dissolve. The massive bank of Edward's memories completely synthesizes with Gilbert's consciousness.The Civil War: Armed with Edward’s memories, experiences, and upgraded physical traits, Gilbert immediately takes over the Westward Faction, defeats his uncle Howard, and styles his hair exactly like Edward to signify that the transfer is complete.
>>290283292the only way i can even pretend huisheng could work is if someone in that age 0-4 bracket took to larping as their dad the same way other toddlers will autistically latch onto Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokemon, Legos or Trains and make it their entire being.

>>290283468Shen Luohan (Consecutor 01) completely rejected the anonymous destiny of his clone brothers. He is viewed as an "attention whore" because he deliberately carved out a grand, highly visible identity for himself:He is an "Aberrant Individual": Xia Yan notes that Luohan is a rare genetic anomaly. He possesses an intense, self-aggrandizing ego and a belligerent god complex that refuses to live in the shadows.He Claimed the "Shen" Surname: By naming himself Shen Luohan, he explicitly claimed the supreme "Shen" lineage. He essentially forced his way into the family of "The Connector," a status no other ordinary Consecutor dared to pretend to have.Flamboyant and Extravagant Lifestyle: Unlike the other hidden clones, Luohan loves the spotlight. He became the highly visible, snobbish CEO of the worldwide private military company Death Dealers, gaining immense global fame.Ultimate Treasonous Megalomania: Luohan does not want to be a simple double. He is actively scheming to overthrow the current Shen Wulong, wipe out the old lineage, and dominate the world as the singular new god at the top.Rejecting the Numbers: The other Consecutors were raised strictly to be disposable, body-double clones of Shen Wulong. Living by numbers or generic pseudonyms ("Lucky-Boy", "Scarface") signifies total submission to the Worm's system. By giving himself a grand, traditional name (Shen Luohan translates roughly to "Spirit of the Buddhist Sage"), he deliberately elevates himself to the status of a deity.The Ultimate Motive: Usurping the ThroneCalling him an attention whore stems from characters like Xia Yan—mocking his massive ego. However, his vanity has a dark purpose. Luohan doesn't want to be a proxy; he wants to completely erase Wulong's lineage and start a new era with himself at the absolute center. Demanding his own name was his very first step in telling the world he refuses to be an extra in someone else's story.

>Daromeon-san, what do you feel about prompts that copies other mangakas styles?>Daro: depends on each final product. as for a similar controversy, i dont support the usage of LoRA for the purpose of deliberatly harrassing an artist. but in general, styles should not be protected by copyright
>Daromeon-san who's your favourite fighter to draw?>Daro: it was either kaburagi or akoya but not akoya any more. im not allowed to draw him how i'd like to
>Daro: I'll make it clear: My opinion is that in Japan, freedom of expression and copyright should be treated less strictly and freedom of expression expanded, not through laws, but through a balance of awareness. Criticism of the use of AI, which is not problematic from a legal standpoint, further narrows the awareness of freedom of expression. So my stance is that "by demonstrating the effective use of AI, we are counteracting the narrowing of freedom of expression."

>Daro: I looked at the audience in analytics for the first time, and there are way too many "Other" categories.
>>290284560>Daro: A story I couldn't finish drawing during the big girl boom.
>Daro: I drew the rough draft for the cover of volume 23 with the intention of killing anyone who is a fan of Kaneda.What the fuck?
>Daro: This is what I do to transform AI-generated images and photo assets into manga-style illustrations. Just adding a touch-line texture to the gray areas gives it a slightly hand-drawn feel. Drawing it all by hand would take about eight hours, but this way it takes less than two hours.

>>290284933Thats cute

>>290284608What did he mean by this?
>>290284708There is no fucking way drawing something similiar but better on the right would take 8 fucking hours
>>290283717See, I get what Sandro is trying to do with Luohan. He's supposed to come off as extravagant and narcissistic and that it'd be worse for the world if he had the power and influence of the Connector. The problem is that Sandro just fails to demonstrate it in an impactful way, or practically contradicts himself. Luohan is supposed to be indulgent, but he's perfectly content living in a shitty apartment with Tiger Niko. He's supposed to be narcissistic, but his enemy is a practitioner of Huisheng, which is practically achieving immortality through sheer narcissism. Somehow Luohan giving himself a name is supposed to be disgusting egotism.Everything falls short and the only thing you can still worry about is "Okay, so what does he want to do after defeating Shen?". But it's hard to believe he'd be particularly more evil than the current Worm leadership. Really, the only thing that could truly sour Luohan's integrity is if it was revealed he was Huisheng-ing some kid himself, but we've gotten no indication of that.

>>290271778Who is that random character on top left?
>>290286362Must be some weird AI hallucination
I always appreciate Daro's honesty in just not giving a fuck anymore. At least he's not pretending this manga is anything more than just the equivalent to a 9-to-5 job to put food on the table, unlike Sandro who still regularly does damage control and tries to maintain a pretense of this being a carefully written and thought out work (despite him also saying this manga is an industrial product and not art).
>>290286078Sandro forgot :)
>>290283717>He became the highly visible, snobbish CEO of the worldwide private military company Death Dealers, gaining immense global fame.No one knew who the CEO was until he and Shen came to the Kengan at the same time btw.
>>290286601Sandro is in that awkward stage as a creator where he realizes he doesn't give a fuck about his own creation anymore, but he also knows that if he admits he's completely checked out of the creative process, he'll look stupid. So he's both unable to fix Kengan because that would require effort he simply doesn't have left anymore, and he's unable to just come out and admit it because he's afraid no one will respect him anymore (he is right).
>>290281471>>290281559Wu Hei is their Ancestor. "He" is just really really pathetic and an afterthought because all his "successors" keep dying after one fight so I'm not surprised someone would forget about thatA super-murderer and yet he's probably one of the weakest "hyped" Final Bosses I've seen put to paper despite just being a more violent ShenWe all know when Gilbert dies to Raian it's going to be some sort of revelation that Raian is the true reincarnation of Wu Hei
>>290284876
>>290283717>Demanding his own name was his very first step in telling the world he refuses to be an extra in someone else's story.That fucking bastard... this is worse than the time that monkey aspired for higher wages...
>>290286840The difference between you and Sandro is that only you think it's awkward. He just doesn't think about it, and continues making shit up on the fly/throwing mental darts at Eddie/Yumi and smugly congratulating himself for being THE COMIKEY KING thanks to his brilliant plot twists that he comes up with on the fly.
>>290287034I'm waiting for Sandro to reveal that Yumi is Eddie and Luohan's gay baby clone
>>290286840>and he's unable to just come out and admit it because he's afraid no one will respect him anymore (he is right).It's not hard. The difficulty is not in being honest or fear of being shamed.The difficulty is in giving up the grift. He's sticking with this shit because it's extremely easy money for him. And, from what I can tell, Omega is still his most financially successful work between it, Danberu, SiR and Blue Ursus (I haven't even seen Blue Ursus discussed ANYWHERE on /a/). So him dropping this manga entirely would be him killing a huge source of easy income.
Sandro's writing is if Chekhov's gun was used on the reader
>>290287109Nah, Sandro wouldn't acknowledge anyone would want to reproduce with Lu*han's vile mpreg genes. Yumi was born out of a trashcan went a bunch of garbage fermented for so long, it became an ape-like homunculus after enough hobos pissed in it He was immediately jumped and robbed by his hobo creators, but not before he stole their razor shaving technique and carved his ape-like hide to be deceptive enough to lurk amongst humanity.
This but Luohanhttps://youtu.be/-sjUGLRwtyA
>>290287034>and smugly congratulating himself for being THE COMIKEY KINGHe gives less of a shit about Comikey than you do
>>290287230Sandro's writing is like if Chkhov dropped his gun, mocked the reader for being so weak he didn't even want to use it on him, pulled out a knife, mocked the reader for also being so weak he didn't even deserve being knifed, and then just SHYEAAAAAAAAAH'd at the reader, knocking him over and leaving the story perpetually on the cusp of having anything happen
>>290287230>Chekhov's Gun>Length : 44inches>Weight : 8lbs>Age : 3>Birthday : Unknown>An ordinary rifle of sturdy materials mass-produced in Russia. Getting shot by a weapon like this would surely hurt, if not kill, any person it hits, but unfortunately it wasn't able to show its true potential in the story.>It is yet unknown as to why the owner wasn't willing to use such a deadly weapon despite hanging on a nearby wall, but these motivations might be explored later on.
>>290271713Toa's massive nutsack hanging off
>>290284400Just sounds like he wants a justification for cutting corners on a manga he doesn't care about while not getting stoned for itWhere are you getting this from, his twttier I assume

>>290271678This looks so silly
>>290287632>this would surely hurt, if not kill> but unfortunately it wasn't able to show its true potential>It is yet unknown > but these motivations might be explored later on10/10. Reads exactly like an actual Kengan character bio as written by the man himself. Made me just as mad as reading a real character bio too.
You'd think a fight between two guys where one has chosen to throw and only throw outside of one instance where he chose to strike and a guy who's chosen method of fighting is to counter and demonsbane everything would be an interesting conundrum of a fight but for this mangaNah, Markiplier is just gonna throw Tropical Island Julius who can't do anything about it because he doesn't have a method anymore

It just strikes me as someone so utterly bored and checked out of his job that he's doing it more to keep himself interested than anything.
