Chapter 369: Broken Gear
Looks like I got the "timing" right.
>>290819777>God Glow>Jolt BlowPretty weaksauce desu. This man's already faster than light, a jolt is beneath him.
>>290819854Man you gotta punish those combo delays, this is not even a frame trap, just mash after the first block.
>>290819878The Real Culo Medel...
>>290819854Tch... What a shitty "timing"...
>>290819896He's an old man, he can't keep up with frame-perfect reactions
>>290819910Bankai
>>290819878SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DIEEEEEEEEEE
>Carlos got stronger after he lost his muscles strength >Also stronger again when he sealed part of his moveset
>>290819777Jolt blow... misfired...
>>290819878>Kazzy's first time seeing it liveDid he never have a chance to see Medel's match live on TV before?
>>290819807Oh wow, a 95lbs punch
>>290819974>seals off his footwork too>only uses one arm in the next fightFinally on Shen's level
>>290820015Here it comes, Shen pulls some bs and this ends in a double KO
>>290819974Turns out that perfecting one art is better than being mediocre at two. Kuroki already proved this.
>not only was Medel severely underweight as an experiment, he was also not using his main boxing technique in favor of shitty capoeira he learn within a day
>>290820015Naidan is a Yumi/Terashi tier shitter confirmed
>>290820015Yumigahama was too strong for Medel to compete against him, therefore he doesn't show up in the image here
>>290819936>Real Carlos Medel canonically beat the shit out of OkuboFFUUUAAAAAARRRRRKK GAOLANG COULD NEVER
>>290820070>Pathetic.
>>290819957>Sealing offThere it is again!
>>290819910>>290819936So where was this with his fight against Gaolang?
>>290820015Powerful fighters in Purgatory... Our heroes...
>>290820105Have we "scaled" the language barrier?
>>290820131Hatsumi is literally made for these sorts of 'turnabouts'.
>>290820105KekNice touch
>>290820170I don't think I've seen a page with such intense KWAB energy in a long time.
>>290820070>>290820105>Medel is Agito-tierGaokeks status?
Fin
>>290819854>>290819878
>>290820113Even Hassad-anon was able to keep himself from posting an image in the middle of the dump
>>290820192>>290820160I KNEW IT
>>290820105
>>290819807>i couldnt deflect it >>290819834>i dont have time to deflect>>290819982>nobody can deny all that Ive built up>>290820015>nobody can deny what I built up>>290820070>do you want another helpingGenuinely what am I reading
>>290820132Fighters have a move limit like pokemon, Carlos replace this with capoeira for that fight. Niko style katas are treated as a single move each.
>>290820105>Hit him so hard he started speaking spanishKek well memed
>>290820170>>290820192>Humiliation rituals now empower youSomebody call Gilbert, he has a bunch of unclaimed EXP.
>>290820192>Hatsumi's plan was to humiliate himself to "scale" the "wall"
>>290820260He's busy leveling up at the tree
>>290820216isn't the "no image during a dump" rule made for dumps that deserve respect ?
>>290820192HE SCALED THE WALL!!!!!!
>>290820192Thanks Op

>>290820216I went limp in the brain and thought the dump had already ended...
>>290820260This has been the case since the exp system got implemented
>>290820192If I had a nickel for every time a boxer got his right arm broken...
>>290820125It's wordplay!!Sandrovich ACTUALLY meant>Navy SEALing off!GET IT!?!?Broken gear!!!

>>290820318IN THIS EPISODE, HATSUMI CAN'T BLOCK FOR SHIT, YAMASHITAKAZUO IS MORE OF A FAGGOT THAN THE ACTUAL HOMOSEXUAL AND CARLOS "REALIDAD" MEDEL FINALLY UNLEASHES HIS>

>>290820260Carlos was smart enough to spend the extra skill points from his humiliation ritual on his Broken Gear and overall boxingGilbert will probably just dump it all in his Eddie passive skill as usual
>>290820041>"does nothing run.">His previous fight was goading Cosmo to fight him, mocking him for trying to run, and waited for Cosmo to fight him.>Was angry Cosmo ran away.Voulez vous couchez avec moi? C'est soir?
>>290820015Wow if only we saw even one of Carlos fights in Purg to actually "show don't tell" his motivation. But alas, Five nights at Ohma's was more important
>>290820381Now that you mention it, this is basically like that.>Ah, I've sealed away my X skill, giving me other skills a twofold boostNow imagine if Yumi decides to seal away all of his other stolen styles. He could've been so powerful.
>>290820105Deja vous~
>>290820388WAIT I JUST REMEMBEREDUNCLES BEER FRIEND SEALED OFF BREATHING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>290820192>'get the timing right' by letting your opponent get the cool climactic blow on a final page>let them have an entire chapter of being cool and awesome>"I'm losing... but that actually makes me strong."INSANE hex outplaying by Sen. He's like the Kuroki of hexxing.
>>290820355
>>290820406Ce soir* Espèce de putain de "vert".
>>290820192I think sandro knew medel needed to be written as a pure boxer, the capoeira was retarded. Medel should have just been the ceiling for Gao to overcome with his Muay Thai, this is his do over of Medel's whole thing.
>>290820388
>>290820170>Losing controlhttps://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1788973551925979.webm
>>290819936So like Pacquiao's awkward angles when he punches. Now that I think about it, they do share some simialarities
>>290820105High quality post.
>>290820509Je suis l'evening.
>>290819936>panel of a mechanism, object, concept, etc. in kenganI don't even look at these anymore, always a 100% AI panel.
>>290820192>need a grab to throwPathetic.
>>290820605What's Jurota doing now I wonder. Are they just back to wandering around?
Same shit i said in the español threadI feel this fight was something sandro made originally for monkey so we can keep laughing at himThis fight fels like an humilliaton ritual for a character that never got one when he already got one in ashuraSandro pendejo de mierda es la primera vez que siento algo ademas de risas con omegaNos vemos la semana que vieneそのゲーム
>>290820605He doesn't have time to deflect.He has time to recognize, grab, divert, pull, support and hurl, though.Just like me.
>>290820105incredible stylistic dump choice. keng/a/nons always know how to "party"
Gilbert is still throwing a tantrum while Toa's corpse is 30m away from him btw
>>290820132This is absolutely post-hoc justification for a concept Sandro hadn't invented yet, but I struggle to think that irregular boxing rhythm would have worked against a boxer as technical and experienced as Gaolang. It'd be like trying to out Aiki Sen.
>>290819936Giving him the ol' every soulslike boss past DaS2 treatement
>>290820631He's livin' la vida loca!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p47fEXGabaY
BUT WHY SANDRO
>>290820519>I have to UNSEAL it!
>>290820631Hatsumi has only avoided humiliation because he's barely been in the story. Expecting similar fights for Rei and Muteba since they've barely done anything in Omega.
>>290820170YOUR VITAMIN C
There's no salient reason why Broken Gear couldn't have worked with Capoeira.
J'adore my Kengan "party" time.
>>290820674Adam beat sumoNow Nippon needs its foreigner win
>>290820015I will not stand for this Monki erasure
I haven't been keeping up with Omega (for obvious reasons), what happened to the Worm? And the Connector?
>>290820686Sandro seems to like Muteba even among Ashurachunguses so I wonder how's his humiliation ritual going to look like. Maybe he'll get fed to Kuroki.
>>290820519This was a cool moment
>>290820702He couldn't get the awkward timing right
>>290820714They're in the tournament but the connector told them they're not allowed to compete
>>290820105AY DIOS MIO
>>290819807>>290819777Is this the first time a cliffhanger punch actually hit?
>>290820686Muteba>offscreened by tiger nikek whose stock (figurative and literal) is in the dumpster>surrendered to Shen (fucking TERASHI took a stand)>made some traps and ran from OhmaHe's already taken several humiliations but they fits his character I suppose
>>290820726>MutebaHe's gonna get it bad. Like, not even landing a good hit bad. His fighting style is too visceral and brutal for modern Kengan for him to be allowed to do anything to any character who isn't a rank and file worm grunt.
>>290820702You cant dance without rithym
>>290820683la bestia gorda...
>>290820702Capoeira is dance music and irregular rhythm is prog rock
TOTAL STRIKER VS GRAPPLER DEATH
Oh great, the Spics gonna be insufferable for the next few weeks like how Gaolang made SEAs turn feral for literal months
>>290820936We just have to purge them
>>290820886>people complained about mirror match in Kengan vs Purg>so now Sandro does opposite match>every single timeAnd they said he doesn't take note from his readers
>>290819957>His secret to winning>Stopped using it because ??>Capoeira>Starts using it again because ???>Fuck CapoeiraSomehow I get this feeling that Sandro may have pulled this gear out of his ass.
>>290820192>>290820170>>290820131>>290820105HUMILACION POWER UP.
>>290820936Joto
>>290820192Get in the cuck chair and enjoy the "party".It'll make you "stronger".
>>290820192would be kino if Medel has a counter for throws and starts monologuing how he won't lose to a throw by someone other than Jurota
>Medel has this super OP combo that made him the undisputed GOAT of boxing>drop that for capoeiraliterally for what reason?
>>290820015Sandro forgot Yumigahara in the strongest of purgatory panel
>>290821131>starts monologuing how he won't lose to a throw by someone other than JurotaThat's too kino + makes Purg look good so it definitely won't happen
>>290821030No shit. The best justification one could offer is that his boxing alone just wasn't good enough when he joined Purgatory and he was facing a ton of diverse fighting styles, so he tried to vary it up and became a dancing cancer patient to combat the variety he was unused to facing. It was only years later after he got more comfortable and rededicated himself to pure boxing that he started to make headway. Don't forget that, after giving up Capoeira and bulking up, he dropped down to B-list for a while because he couldn't hack it in A when his conditioning was fucked and he was just boxing.
>>290820702My guess is that he didn't really need it while he was auschwitz-maxxing. It would only slow him down and his punches weren't that strong.
>>290820192CALLED IT >>290820035
>>290821197>undisputed GOAT of boxing>of boxingThere's your answer. He's the best boxer, but he's facing the best of a bunch of styles.
>>290820758Kek, I too was a bit surprised that it actually landed. >>290820132That fight never happened. Remember the rule, kids. If it happened more than 5 chapters ago, it probably didn't happen. >>290820015>what I built up through competition with the powerful fighters in PurgatoryI have no words. I am actually speechless.
>>290820192I can't even begin to count how many braincells I lost during this chapter.Thanks for the filling, Sandro-sensei.
>>290821131He'll start Mongolian-ing, instead.
>>290819777>>290819807>cliffhanger attack actually landed and did damageConsider me SUBVERTED Sandro
>Carlos gets throooow'd>manages to break Hatsumi's watch>Hatsumi looks in horror>"heh it's over senor, we're both out" and blacks out>Carlos' ping disappears on the watch radar but Hatsumi's is still visible>turns out Sen's real watch was on his ankle and he was wearing (not)Cosmo's watch
>>290820105EL CABRON RETURNS!
>>290820192See, this is what I thought would happen in page 1, after the last chapter. Instead we just got a Sen humiliation ritual for basically no reason and got to the very obvious next step that literally everyone with 2 braincells was expecting anyway. Sandro is so fucking weird man.
>>290819854>>290819896Literally me whenever I gotta fight Ed
>>290820132He didn't need it to win.
>>290820105Kengan dumps are on another level man
>>290820132Replaced it with his 4-star Capoeira (that got shitstomped by Gaolang)
>>290821369It's a fair character moment for Sen to start losing his shit over the situation. He's probably got a huge complex over his loss to Agito, so losing to anyone else probably feels like he's slipping further away from him.
>>290820105Meanwhile the real Agito is still running laps around the island
>>290820192He got the "timing" right...!>>290820457Might be our strongest meta warrior this side of Ohma
>>290819936TIMINGbros...
>>290820388Maybe Ohma will do a Binding Vow to only have like ten broken techniques instead of fifty and become Literally Shen
>>290820994the issue with KvP was that half of them were literal mirror matches >boxer vs boxer >removal vs removal >julius vs julius >gu ritual kid vs gu ritual kid >throooow vs throoow >ex fang vs ex fang
>>290821030>Somehow I get this feeling that Sandro may have pulled this gear out of his ass.Just another Wednesday so
>>290820105I kneel
>>290821443I guess. It just seemed like Sen would have been a lot more composed generally but maybe I've got it all wrong
>>290820779They don't count as humilliations because he lampshades them and makes them come off as clever tactical retreats. Even his Yamcha'ing by Neko Niko had a cope "I was t-totally baiting him" save-face attempt. Plus that was before Niko got the biggest aura drop this side of Axel Kingdom Hearts.
I jobbed...
Sen n however'd on the very last page so its gonna get reversed a d then Medel howevers the however and wins. Then he tries one last however and gets KO'd and Kazzy tells us about the razor.
>Carlos was a boxer that later learned caporeira>dropped caporeira in favor of boxing>Sako Toshio made a manga about caporeira only to later create a boxing mangaEverything returns to Omega
I mean you expect running away from Cosmo but Hatsumi will feel like a loser even if he wins.
I can't wait for Sen to just walk into his next fight completely healed because getting punched in the face and body a lot doesn't really matter in Omega.
>>290820192>Hatsumi is so strong but so flippant the only way he's scaling the wall is if he make him look like a mega chumpThis is how it works in real life btw
>>290821615Well, in the next fight all of those punches will have been by a guy who weighs 45 kilos. In this fight, he weighs 150 kilos, you see.
>>290820068>Naidan is*was
Wall scalers….are strong
>>290820758Subverted yet again!
>>290820192FUCK YOU SANDRO
Remember when the Lolong Diordre broke Ohmas arm and he got up and healed it with a technique
delicious sen ryona
>>290821456Akoya could be anywhere, even right behind him. Its over if he stops for even a single second
>>290821458Medel used an anti-timing technique with broken gear so hatsumi couldn't get a single however in the chapterHOWEVER Hatsumi used meta timing and waited for the timing of the last page so medel couldn't use his however
>>290820068>>290821766if you can kick your own ass and even kill yourself to death, that simply means you are not truly STRONG
>>290821354Is there anything in the rules that forbids a defeated/disqualified fighter from just walking about and pretending like he's still active and fighting people, by hiding his broken watch in a way it's not obvious that it's broken?
>>290821906Why, the Kakerou referees will purge them, of course.
I guess the Kanoh page was cool but damn Hatsume was already a career bum but fighting like a faggot and being cornered by mid tier Carlos is another low for himAnd i like carlos
>>290820668>trying to out Aiki Sen.My HERO cosmo proved that akido is low skilled bullshit which is why hatsumi had to rely on his "stick"
I have arrived
>>290821906Nothing really. They won't show up on the tracker, but there's nothing so far that suggests that someone would stop anyone that goes schizo after losing and starts attacking people.
>>290820105>literally kuroki>literally agitoIs there anyone my starving mexican hero cannot become?
>>290821953stick was one of the best parts of this archilarious, really
>>290821985HE CANNOT BE LIKE THE CONNEC-
>>290821930Do you think they're hiding under in the trees and bushes and shit? Feels like that could be one of those bonus page bits. >>290821981Maybe the camera drones are armed with tranq darts.Would be cool if Raian or someone else did end up just ignoring the rules. Kinda surprised it hasn't happened already desu,
>>290820309I miss him so much...
>>290822065Niko....
>>290820630Jurota is charging up his stand energy
>>290820962>The 10 white guys resisting like 200 arabs, latinos and SEAsGood luck bro. Fortunately us africans don't have a coin in this, but we're cheering from the sideline!
>>290820936Nah, Carlos even sealed away his Mexican energy to be stronger.
>>290822086They are nothing more than mere "nutrients"
>Carlos has a technique that explicitly disables people from "getting the timing right".He can mid diff shen.
How are you supposed to beat a anti-"timing" technique?
>>290822187>>290822279You really think someone who has "lived" for so "long" are bound by mortal conventions like "time" and "space"? Oh, you poor greenlings...
>>290822279Having better reflexes. Or getting "read" whatever the fuck Gaolang meant by that.
>>290822279Aim for the "gaps"
>>290822279Look at his feet and trade probably
>>290822426Fuck, you just reminded me that Gaolang is already disqualified so we won't get another version of this, with Gaolang countering the gear box. What a waste of a good fighter.
>>290822279What do you do when a fighter is trying some retarded "stop attacks mid motion" type shit? You punch them while they're unnecessarily extending their windup frames
>>290822577Delayed attack merchants are considered "high difficulty" though.
>>290822279Either try to predict his weird timing based on unconscious patterns Medel has developed or watch his movements and just react to them raw. You basically just want to fight him either five layers deep on predictions or by stat-checking him in a conventional brawl.
>>290820192>stumble upon kengan thread>check chapter>it's another "one-sided beatdown leads to HOWEVER"
>>290820105Its happening again
>>290822577This. Don't rely on timing and just straight up react to the fact he is slowing down. You'll probably eat a hit or two at first when his switch in rhythm fucks with you, but you just need to get used to the fact his trick lies in slowing himself down.
>>290822279Current Gaolang can just hit him in the consciousness gap, what is the point of an anti-timing technique while you are stunlocked by regular brain lag?
"I" will see "you" on the "azure" skies Usogui thread, fellow "me"s
>>290822673"You" better get your "timing" right, "me". You don't want to announce to the whole world that you are a "timingless jobber".
I'm shifting gears during my opponents consciousness gap but they're reading my inception of intent and curbing the razor before it can thin Should I rotate my shoulders to distort my point of impact or micro-dose removal to shift my gears further beyond?
>>290820192
>>290822771Ummm uhhhh principles.
>>290822673Over and out other "me"
>>290820192>turning jobbing into powerupsIs this possibly a meta upheaval?
"I" think "we" will play some vidya for the rest of the day. Have a good day other "me's".
If Hatsumi was going to win anyways why make him lose all his aura? What’s the point?
>>290820192>sen didnt "scale" the wall....the wall "lowered" itself to him
>>290822279Fucking trip him
>>290820693AUDIBLE KEK
>>290820192>Humiliation pushes you over the wallHow does Xia Ji fare in this meta?
>>290819957so is limiting his movement by "sealing off" his 10 minute app martial art a condition for getting stronger? pretty neat deal
>>290820192Oh I get it now. The "timing" is about the timing in the chapter. The last page is when the opponent is the most cocky and gets to do their epic finisher, which is THE prime moment for an However, narratively speaking.And there's no more pages for the opponent to reverse the situation until next week.
>>290819982No, Medel, shut up and win!
>>290819957Why dont they spam the web technique?
>>290820105>get his shit pushed in>gets a concussion>starts thinking in spanish
>>290822955>he build the wall>and he made the mexican pay for itwoah
>>290820015No, don't remember the jobbers
>>290823080>shut up and win!He's not Lolong m8
>>290823102uhh hatsumibros?? why did he do it?
>>290823017luohan should have recruited xia jitogether with pussy niko they would be unstoppanle in this humiliation meta
>>290820192I FUCKING KWEW IT HAHAHAHA
>>290820192i cant remember the last time a striker actually had his arm broken and lost because of it
>>290823213gaolang i think
>>290823017Turn into a girl.
>>290823258vs who? agito vs kuroki was the last time i remember it happening
>>290823017He was doing it before it became meta so odds are he's turned to another off-meta strat, so overall not very well still.
>>290822279principles. no elaboration necessary
>>290823213Does Nicolas getting outright disassembled count?
>>290822673see you. over and out, me.
"HOWEVER" roared Dumblydore.
>>290823332ilioti

>>290820693>>290822988https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUVEnXw8zH0
>>290820702What >>290820787 said. But instead, if Medel's Capoeira wasn't a joke the point would be that he switches up his rhythms on the fly to throw off his opponents and try and find which "style" has the best returns. So basically Beatdown from Convict Colosseum.
Great kino. I expected the Cloud to beat the shit out of the boxer, this is a good twist! No negative monkeys can ruin this
Sandro literally came up with Broken Gear after watching that recent Gaethje interview about offbeat punches, and now he’s trying to retcon Carlos as always having had it. He really is like that piano teacher who stays one lesson ahead of his student
>>290823734 Fucking retard! Don't tell them "we" are sneaking out of /tg/ to nudge the thread towards our missions goal!
>>290820192is there a word for the feeling of really wanting something but knowing with absolute certainty that it won't happen?
>>290823919Wistful?
>>290823919Yearninh?
>>290823919Coping
>Hating this chapterThis is why you never get invited to any social outing
>>290823919Premonition
>>290819807That's not supposed to do damage. It breaks the rules.
>>290822647love this image
>>290820318A weapon to surpass METAL GEAR.
>>290824483It basically didn't.
>>290820015Hey Jose!
>>290820192NO SANDRO! FUCK YOU SANDRO! DARO, IF YOU'RE READING THIS TELL YOUR CHATGPT ASSISTANT TO TELL SANDRO TO GO FUCK HIMSELF.
>>290822279
>>290820192just like the mindbroken anons on keng/a/n threads, humiliation pushed us over the wall
>>290824804>Kengan explicitly runs on RPG mechanics
>>290822939>why make him lose all his auraHe lost it when he got absolutely puked by Agito going back to basics and just socking his shit.
Could he take on Shen?
Medel is pretty strong huh? Like he seems way stronger than KAT characters at this point
>>290825183Only if wins, otherwise he is still a purgatory jobber level
>>290820192AHAHAHAHAHAHAH WHAT A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT MANGA
>>290825183Pretty much every character is as strong as the fight needs him to be now. Medel looks really strong now because Sandro wants to hype up Sen a bit. That's literally it.
So what is "scaled the wall" akido going to look like?
>>290825392The redirector doesn't want to redirect.
>>290825392Incredible.... I don't think even I could beat this guy...
>>290820260Anon did you literally forget what happened when Gilbert lost? He started schizoing out hardcore.
>>290825611If schizo Jurota gets a stand, do you think Gilbert will get Edward as a stand?
>capoeiraIn the end it was completely worthless
>>290826073I hope, for the sake of maximum shittiness, that Gilbert imagines an Edward tulpa that he denounces and then embraces Wu Hei.
>>290820015>jose is considered a powerful purgatory fighter>but not the guy that beat his ass twice >the second of those fights was so bad jose was hospitalized and could have died>but yumi doesn't countokay
>>290825183Does he? Is he really any better than the top guys from the KAT when you really think about it? Gaolang's only real improvement from the KAT when they fought was having a harder fist to punch with and Carlos got thrashed by it. Gaolang would have lost to most of the semi-finalists clean.
>>290823651>negative monkeysBarbecue bro...
>>290820192I don't even mind this.Execution was lackluster of course but I definitely prefer a fighter getting motivationally pissed about losing repeatedly so they fight harder rather than the usual stoic face + respectful inner commentary about needing to be strong enough for the runback.
Alright well this kinda blows my "Hatsumi was actually an imposter" theory out of the water.Which means that all the weird homoerotic stuff with Cosmo was just how he always is.Interesting.
>>290826598I don't know. Sen vs Carlos feels like harassment to me, as opposed to the flirting that was Waka vs Fei.
>>290826795>Which means that all the weird homoerotic stuff with Cosmo was just how he always is.From the way his ex treated him, he's always been a perv. He didn't really get much opportunity to show it before.>Guy he one shot>Bando>Gets penetrated multiple times>Prog rock spiderwebsWith Cosmo he had a chance to whip out his stick.
>>290826795What if Carlos is an impostor
>>290826862Are you saying this isn't the REAL Carlos Medel?!
>>290826862>The one SINGULAR competent WormHoly shit
>>290819974its called a binding vow bro, they explain them in the first mahito fight
>>290825392>So what is "scaled the wall" akido going to look like?principles anon, it's principles, the endpoint of wall scaling is everyone becoming an ohmaface stoic with point of force based attacks and redirection
>>290825392Shifting your body in a way that causes your opponents to not be unable to stop striking themselves, even at the protest of the principled aikido practitioner
>>290826552One day you chimps will have to move on. Or i will make you.
>>290820105>>290820131>>290820170>>290820192Actually decent development.
>>290826795It seems like all older martial artists in kengan become a bit gay.
>>290826598Hatsumi hasn't morphed into a completely neutered fighter who doesn't care about anything else just yet unlike some other Asura holdover characters. He's been a petty asshole who just wants to win this whole arc. Tilting and getting stronger because he's getting manhandled by a mid-tier like Carlos is alright development in my books, even if it is poisoned my Kenganisms like scaling the wall.
>>290822279By having your own anti-anti-rhythm. You can cancel out the timing advantage by achieving resonance using your own timing.
>>290828356Thank you, Ippo.
>>290828356
>>290826795Hatsumi is a netorare villain who accidentally stumbled into a fighting manga.
>>290825392Probably something like https://x.com/morimoto_17/status/2096215551148474749Considering the other dude is three of him in size difference, he's been holding out fairly well.
>>290828470>I will remember this humiliationKekkles

>>290820192....
>>290820192XIA JI CONFIRMED CURRENT STRONGEST MEMBER OF THE "WORM"
>The Cloud loses to the SpicMeanwhile i am happy tending to my barbeque as they fough
>>290819936>Carlos developed a counter to getting the "timing" rightHoly shit. He's so strong, literally Connecturoki.
>>290826455Yumi's coding is bugged.XP calculation generally works in a way that the higher level your opponent is compared to you, the more XP you receive.But with Yumi, the programming is reversed. He gets rewarded more XP for curbstomping weaker fighters, and less XP for fighting relatively equal opponents.And that's a double edged sword, because his opponents are also rewarded more XP for curbstomping him than for beating him on an equal level.
>>290828996>He gets rewarded more XP for curbstomping weaker fighters, and less XP for fighting relatively equal opponents.Isn't this Koga's coding?
>>290829030Koga just gets a multiplier on all XP no matter what, so farming weaklings is a viable strat.He would be rewarded immense amounts of XP for defeating a Literally Kuroki tier opponent, but his build is a cobbled-together mess that isn't competitively viable.
>>290825392
>>290821030>Somehow I get this feeling that Sandro may have pulled this gear out of his ass.Pretty much.It's Sandro acknowledging he fucked up badly with KvP Medel and this is a reinvention of the character. It's framed that this is what the "real" Medel always was but it just looks like Medel sacrificed all of this for a meme dex build where he does next to no damage with capoeira.
>>290823416Shame i didnt screencap when Satou said ''seems i got the timing right''. I laughed for five minutes straight.
>>290820105It should be Keng/a/n tradition from now on that chapter dumps will occasionally have Spanish pages replacing the English ones.
>>290820936White boys have been insufferable overhyping that retard Julius for years so I don’t see an issue believing in our HERO Carlos.>>290820105I wonder how Hatsumi would feel if he saw Agito turn into a runner against Akoya. Alpha is getting major upscale.
>>290829546It should not be overused, and should be preserved for these impactful pages.Keep them on their toes.
HELP ME, FLASHBACK AGITOTHIS IS SEALED CARLOS I'M UP AGAINST
>>290820669kek it's true
>>290820192In the next chapter there will be a groundbreaking revelation. Medel does, in fact, haveanother arm
Hassad soon.
Okayyyyy
>>290819936Is that even smart?
>>290830867It's good at catching rollspammers and parryfags
>>290819807This is the first time I see one of these explosion punches hit.
I just want Medel to have a real victory. Make it so that all this Kuroki/Agito wanking he's had in his favor amount to something. Jurota has gotten a good win. Now it's time for Medel to finally get a good win. That said, I really hate that Medel has turned into a stoic face. I want him to win simply because of what I said above. I still don't like how his personality has been drained from him.
>>290822279as musashi would say, if you've lost control of the timing you have lost the initiative, and you have lost the duel. As musashi would do, movement, quickly. Retreat in such a way that you can gain the initative. When outnumbered by the rival school, he retreated up a mountain path that would separate the opponents based on stamina and allowed him to regain control of the timing. Or by going to a scheduled duel distinctively late, using unusual equipment he chose the mental terms of engagement and so by goading the opponent into attack he controlled the timing. I think what will happen next chapter is the throwing illustration is false - he only feels like he broke his arm, but he gets suprised by a nice flip and midair turn - capoeira.
>>290832278Man I should really read the book of five rings again
>>290829426>tfw the real Carlos Medel wasn't real at all
>>290831744>Jurota has gotten a good winIt wasn't a good win considering how poor the quality of that fight was.
>"arrived" late for today's chapter>check out the original wait thread>turns out that Comikey "got the timing wrong" and didn't upload the English version of the chapter until like way later>people had to resort to dumping the Spanish version and using it as a basis for discussion>apparently, the chapter title wasn't even uploaded at allYou'd think that Comikey would care more about the manga that's keeping their website alive.
>>290832924>Sandro doesn't give a shit>Daro doesn't give a shit>The Scanlators turned official translators don't give a shit I'm wondering why I should give a shit
>>290820192Monkey return and one-shot connector.That was plan all along...
>>290820668Cosmo did that. Chiba simply got the "timing" wrong, that's why he failed.Carlos WON that match, by the way.
>>290820936This is a fighting manga foo we're all brown (and spiritually brown) here
>>290820192By reading this chapter, I have lept over the wall. I can now retract my dick.
>>290820105Now we're reading the "Real" Kengan Omega.
>>290819936Sandro is desperately trying to give these jobbers some pity power up before the manga ends, isn't? Expect even more bs skills from now on.
>>290824696>>290826455Jose is his boyfriend, obviously he's gonna be biased and consider him strong regardless of his actual fighting abilityLike how Gaolang rates Saw despite Saw clearly being leagues below him
>>290820105N-no... not the RETREATER, Kanoh Agito... not THE MAN ON PAR WITH THE MISSING LINK OF HUMAN-APE EVOLUTION, Kanoh Agito...
>>290819917I could do it offline, I swear
>>290822279Imai Cosmo and Kaneda Suekichi, both in their fight with Hatsumi Sen alrady showed you that. Also, maybe Koga could use his "power" to overcome it.
>>290820105"Onions" bueno jajaja!
>>290822673Remember! No raping!
>>290825183Stop trying to hex him.
Gaolang? Bowed outKiozan? DoneOkubo? Is getting Niko'd in 5 seconds when Ohma felt like itTik tok Carlos
>>290834929What would be the bigger Okubo humiliation ritual, actually trying to fight "just like the Connector" principles Ohma with his regular MMA and getting folded in one page, or the two of them spending so long on their romantic getaway that the next circle is about to close and neither has scored any points, so Okubo gives Ohma his watch because he knows he's worthless in comparison?
>>290822538Supposedly, Gaolang's jabs should be fast enough to hit Carlos while he's stopping his punches here. >>290819957
>>290834996Okubo will get DOME'd by Doodoo or something after which Ohma breaks Doodoo's every single bone in a single page.
>>290835156>Okubo gets fed to some worm jobber(but the worm only wins by SNEAKY UNDERHANDED METHODS or something), so Ohma can then shit on the Worm, AND the half dead Okubo gives him his watch too.Now we're cooking.
>>290833412It's all so tiresome. We all know that the only characters that are going to matter in the final battle(s) against Shen, Luohan and Kitty Niko are Ohma, Agito and Kuroki, with Ryuki and Koga assisting as a way to remind readers that they're the dual protagonists. Everything else is just a waste of time designed to pad out the manga. No matter how strong someone like Medel, Jurota or Waka will get, they will have zero relevance in the final arc.
>>290825392>>290828519The only way I can imagine is just copying Shibukawa's "w-why do I feel so heavy??" bullshit
>not a string bean anymore>No capoeira>No kung fu>No purgatory rules>No personality>Literally just a dude who's a good boxerIs medel the worst nothing character currently? I was really thinking Sandro went demented feeding hatsumi to this bum
>>290835787we haven't seen the real one yet
>>290835787>>No personalityhe hates martial artists or something
>>290822939Hatsumi was always a loser that struggled against no name fighters.
>>290835787Basically of this applies to 90% of the cast right now.
>>290835901Because he was out of shape, get agito on the couch for a year and same thing will happen
>>290835975There wasn't anything mentioned about his fitness. He just "wasn't in the mood."
>>290835975Hatsumi is in shape, but not mentally.
>>290835975Agito was fucking around in America for 2 years and he's still S tier
>>290835975When was that mentioned? He had an offscreened training arc with Rei and was active enough to fight Kaneda
>>290836394>and for some reason, Mikazuchi was already training with the Wu clanStill one of my sleeper picks for favorite casual Sandroism.
>>290820192>Just one shot the enemy that hasn't taken a single scratch so farWorst trope in manga.
>>290820518Do overs don't work when you already established and showed he's a shitter with 0 wins (no, I don't care about his offscreen record and backstory, he lost every fight he's been in and it's not even really close)
>>290821131>Purgatory dude>Winning in a non-shit wayLol. No.
>>290834929Needs a grim reaper knocking on doors edit.
>>290820994>so now Sandro does opposite matchYou can have opposite matches OTHER than striker vs grappler tho
>>290821837Niko Niko Ni Style: Piccolo's Arm.
Hello "me", "I" haven't read since Koga tracked down monke and then literally and figuratively killed him. Got a few questions because "I" won't go back to reading this.>Hassad?>Has elena's brother whatshername akido priest shown up yet>Has Lihitio "arrived" yet and if so was it actually fun or did he end up becoming stoic and going YOU WERE AWESOME HOMELESS BUM I JUST SPLATTERED>has akoya fucked yet whatshername clock brain yet
>>290837413NoNo Yes and the latter kindaNo
>>290828519That actually make Aikido look good, either he was very good or the fat one was very bad because there's no way it should have taken 30 seconds from the first grab to get him to the ground.It's like if a chimp was wrestling a silverback.
>>290835787>gets stronger>immediately loses all personality and becomes another stoicface
>>290828519For a moment I thought the smaller one was a woman and that I was watching a jav webm.
>>290831744>Jurota has gotten a good win.When?
>>290825392Me exterminating all the "monkeys" ruining my "barbeque"
Sandro's flip flopping between expanding on one's art and dabbling into other styles vs dedicating one's self to a single style is pretty amusing. Instead of any sort of consistency he just goes with whatever sound the coolest to him at the moment.
>>290837413
>>290837562Which would be fine if he did it well.
>>290837562The meta is to learn everything but bundle them in a single name. Principles, niko, Agito calling everything dragon x, etc
>>290836921I love it. He just says "and for some reason". He. The author. Not some outside observer reviewing the manga. The author.He could have just said that Mikazuchi was already training with the Wu clan without adding in that "for some reason" part. But his contempt for this manga just seeps through when he writes lines like that.
>>290837678So if Yumi had just called it the Monkey Style he'd be a literal Kuroki by now?
>>290837488The big guy is Nokkon Terada, (to my knowledge) former rugby player turned youtuber person, weighting in at 155kg.At the very least he should know very well how to punt a guy a third his size, so yeah the other dude holding out that well is impressive.
>>290837925>former rugby player turned youtuber person, weighting in at 155kg.What the fuck? Who was the tiny dude train by? Roshi?>so yeah the other dude holding out that well is impressive.Too bad most people are retarded because to anyone with an IQ above 50, that's GREAT advertising for his dojo.
>>290837704It's such a bizarre moment/scene on so many levels. Why was Rei training with them of all people? He doesn't even try to justify it, unlike Sen's supposed connection.But even beyond that, it's so dumb. It's supposed to be the "payoff" for Sen and Rei being written out of the tournament and give them something to do as compensation, but it's just them oneshotting random knife mooks.And then there's the morality elephant in the room, which also extends to Joji who belongs to an organization that bans getting involved in underworld stuff, but it's fine to hunt down and torture Xia.Sen explicitly refused to kill Bando for Nogi's deal with the other guy, and Rei swore off killing and the assassination business. Why are both of them cool with being involved in shady Kure race war shit? Because they totally are involved in an assassination even if they didn't do it themselves.>what are the charges officer? I didn't kill that man. All I did was stand outside the room where they were killing him and beat up any of his friends who tried to come help and-wait why are you putting me in cuffs???God Sandro morality is insane.
>>290837944The dojo runs a youtube channel where they invite personalities from the fighting/sport sphere to demonstrate techniques.https://www.youtube.com/@ShinburenseijyukuA while back they also had some pro wrestlers and makushita sumo wrestlers. The latter wasn't all that flashy because it just demonstrated that wrist twists do in fact work on big fucking guys, but seeing how wrestling was already incorporating aikido techniques in their repertoire was cool
>>290837562Sandro's morality is entirely based on in-group bias and vibes.It's literally just that "our glorious leader" vs "their wicked despot" meme.
>>290836921Love that he couldn't figure out what to do with Rei. Sandro had all that time before KvP and during KvP to figure out what Rei was up to and how to include him in this Worm cleanup crew team and "somehow" landed on "Rei was there too, for some reason"
>>290820192Ah, here's the HOWEVER. We expected it to be at the beginning of the chapter but it was placed at the end instead.
>>290837960>but it's just them oneshotting random knife mooks.Tsk, tsk, tsk. Perhaps they may look weak from a "green" eye, but these mooks were "top-of-the-pack" soldiers who could have held their own against the secret unit of the Sicilian Mafia itself. Defeating them was no easy task... Hatsumi and Rei were crossing a "razor-thin" tightrope from start to finish...
That's all well and good, but how would they fare against "Hyeolmaeng" from "Bujingai", one of "The General" himself's "top men" who was actually of "average" strength?
>>290837997That's pretty cool
>>290838212>only of average strengthhuh?
https://daromeon.itch.io/cubefor all the bitching about Daro, have you "scaled the wall" of his drawing challenge?
>>290838295weakest are also among the strongest if you take every single one of his men into account
>>290838315I'm ''scaling'' the wall
>>290838357>practice modeyou're still "green"
>>290838295It means everyone in his town is at that level.
>>290838375tch... what a shitty cubeLooks like I got too cocky
>>290838410I genuinely feel like round 1 KAT Rihito
>>290838315I'm not helping you train your "assistant", Daro.
>>290836177he wasnt, he literally evolved his fighting style in the timeskip, you dont read the manga
I just remembered a guy smaller than hatsumi bruteforced his aikido hold last chapterWhen Hatsumi broke bando's arm in 2 places in ashura with the same hold just kill me
>>290839673Could it be that Hatsumi sucks as aikido?Shibukawa managed to sell off the idea much better, where when aikido was defeated by sheer physical strength it was portrayed as a significant feat.
>>290821502the issue was that they were fucking shit>medel is the worst character in the history of manga>yumi's buildup was trashed and he was retconned into a murderer>jurotas character makes no sense>alan wu pulled a knife and landed on hits >to this day naidan fight makes no sense
>>290838125Come to think of it, Hatsumi and Rei teamed up this arc as well, yet they still have 0 chemistry or any interaction beyond exposition
>>290838125>>290839765It would be super easy to just have Rei and Julius interact and play off each other as representatives of their respective min-maxed stat (and, I dunno, talk about their former employees whom they had very different relationships with?). The match-up is right there as well. Literally the perfect excuse for a striker vs timer fight.What's stopping Sandro?
>>290839815>employees*employersSorry, "gap" in my consciousness + didn't get the "timing" right + forget to reactivate my writing receptors + typed between the "seams" of my finger tendons...
>>290838448Hey, it's better than my score (24 something).
>>290832924>Comikey "got the timing wrong" and didn't upload the English version of the chapter until like way later"Way later" is an exaggeration, there was maybe some few minutes apart. But as one anon posted one page in spanish, and the chapter heavily focused on Medel, i chose to dump the Spanish TL during my lunch break to have fun.
>>290836394I never stopped to look at it, but Daro really just flipped Joji's body on the last two panels.
>>290840175We are so used to the blatantly bad ai art we dont even notice how much daro just reuses and slightly photoshops panels anymore
>>290840380Yeah by now it's just to be expected, but this is still in Purg. Most people didn't have an issue with the art yet when it came out. The daily showed some cracks there of course.
>>290837960There was so much shit going down in the set of chapters you're referring to I still don't feel like we have talked about everything we could have talked about. I don't even REMEMBER that Hatsumi and Rei were beating up Worm goons.
>>290820105>Hype so low I miss the chapted by a full day>Carlos makes it the best chapter in the yearFascinante
>>290839765Rei should have been paired with Raian but I don't think they've been together once in Omega.The less Raian we see the better but if he has to appear then at least we can get some elaboration on clan relations.The Kure and Mikazuchi clans have hated each other for generations but apparently once Hollis learned Rei is a simp all that bad blood was washed away and now they work together or something.
>>290838212What's even the point of this bio when he couldn't come up with anything interesting about the character that enriched the story?
So how did it come to be that Hatsumi of all people has been in the most "fights" this tourney?
>>290842316All set up to fatten him up with nutrients so someone else can farm.
>>290842306French
>>290842316No fucking idea. The fact that he's suddenly so enthusiastic about wanting to fight and improve himself is just part of his narratively convenient moodiness as a character. He'll job to a bunch of feeble slaps from an angry 95 year old arthritic Asian grandma on a wheelchair, and Sandro will still be able to have this beatdown logically justifiable on account of Sen's entire gimmick being that his capabilities are entirely dependent on his mood (aka whatever Sandro/the plot demands of him).
>>290842491Thing is, even the mood portrayal here makes no sense. It's about his disposition entering the fight, it's not fucking Path of Radiance biorhythm
>>290837584It's funny how Sawada never leveled up despite having possibly one of the most humiliating defeats in Kengan>CEO forfeits his match>Goes to confront his opponent anyways>Unleashes his most powerful attack with full intention to harm>It gets completely no sold and his leg, his main weapon, broken before getting decimated with a single slamBut no, none of this matters while Rihito losing to Kuroki was a pivotal moment for the cocky overconfident fighter.
>>290835975All of Hatsumi's hype is instantly deflated once you remember that he was supposed to be the fang, but then THAT KLUTZY KONG Yumigahama was an actual fang.
>>290837413>has akoya fucked yet whatshername clock brain yetThey've been fucking since before the series started. Her debut is her in bed next to a naked Akoya.
>>290820105Dios Mio!
>>290838212>introduces Bujingai in this very bio>mental illness compels him to assure the reader that Hyeolmaeng is only average and Bujingai is still unfathomable WHY IS HE LIKE THAT?

>>290847001>garouden
>>290847038He's back in America by now, on his motorcycle still desperately trying to get as far away from Akoya as possible.
>>290848099He's going to circle the world, glance over his shoulder to make sure Akoya isn't catching up, and run face-first into Akoya's back
>>290848154Well, not face first, cause he's looking behind him
>>290842903Sawada was probably out of commission for a year or 2 before getting back into things while everyone else was gradually getting stronger.He was already a shitter by KAT standards so playing some thorough catch up was not happening
I actually felt something this chapter. Claude I mean Sandro must be improving.
>>290848375AGI achieved, we can have good omega chapters now
>>290848375Anon it's Stockholm Syndrome.
