Vol. 14>"Soichiro Nagi and Bob Makihara have always been the meanest street brawlers around. When they enter Todo High they plan on carving out a reputation as the strongest fighters in their new school—easier said than done in a place that's dedicated to training its students in the art of combat! After realizing they're the new fish swimming in a tank full of sharks, Soichiro and Bob enter the Juken fight club as rookie members. Soichiro and Bob have a chance to show their stuff, as long as they don't get curb-stomped in the process!"Thread theme:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4TXnn5OD-0Previous threads:https://desuarchive.org/a/search/subject/Tenjo%20Tenge%20/

>>290897799
>>290897799Neat cover.
>>290898049Yeah I didn't notice Mitsuomi or that the wings were painted on. Real good blending at a casual look.
Mikos with rifles. And hi-tech manipulators.
>>290897849Do I want to know what’s gonna happen to Maya?
>>290898257ryona
>>290898297Aw, I hope it’s not too bad
>>290898199Good combo.
>>290898380Maya dragon mode sex
>>290897799 How well do you think the cast wpuld do in a fight against the Baki cast?
>>290898555triple quints for sexiness
>>290898199Martial arts?
>>290898577If it's any indication, Bob and Asshat/shitstain boxer could reach Jack's level. Any of the fighter's with Ki would be a toss up at Yujiro's level or above. Below is questionable.
>>290898597Love the build up.Also what an overkill >>290898644
>>290898749There are some pretty nice build ups/set ups and combos down the line.
This here's an amazing look into the characters.
>>290898897All of the designs are just so cool.
>>290898897>MitsuomiHuge.>MasatakaSmall.>Soichiro?>BobLarge.
>>290899049Soichiro and Aya are Masataka's size.
Remember this young "boy" cuz his looks are important.
>>290899278Makiko really is the dumbest woman in the manga, isn't she?
>>290899313Kind of. You have to remember, she was really young here and probably the only one of her clan. Also love blinds you in ways that makes reason pointless. Which is all the more tragic because Sohaku actual does indeed love her but his assholeness has been built upon a thousand years of pain and a hunger for power.
>>290899278That speech didn't age very well, kek.
>>290899494This smile was not protected.
>>290899647Reminder no-pan
>>290897880Emi looking even cuter than normal in that dress.
>>290899646
>>290899666Is a punch to the face the easiest door to a woman's heart?
>>290899759In her case no. It was Soichiro stopping her from kicking herself to death in the head.
>>290899231>>290899211I know its been a while, since the whole shin plot and the flashback, but wasnt the whole thing about mitsuomi killing shin retconned? like, you could only say he ""metaphorically"" killed shin because in reality mitsuomi basically ate shit and lost, then shin committed suicide, and its really dogen that bears the brunt of the blame for shins death because he tried to push shin into going crazy, and i feel like this muddies mayas motivation for wanting to against mitsuomi in the first place because if you realize he didnt actually kill shin himself it means mitsuomi doesnt really start doing evil shit at the school until maya already is fighting against the student council and getting her comrades destroyed by him
>>290899666>>290899647yeah, shes cute.
>>290899795>but wasnt the whole thing about mitsuomi killing shin retconned?No. The fact of the matter is that Shin saw Mitsuomi's punch as the death point. What his dragon eyes didn't see was Kuzunoha stepping in. It was more of a fact that fate and the future went a different way than what Shin wanted/foresaw.
>>290899782Just like the Second Christ!
>>290899943Yeah but the Second Christ didn't mass rape a buncha of his enemies daughters and wives.
>>290900058Eww
>>290898802 Have we seen that girl's brother or what the wind dragon do?
>>290900173No. Not that I remember. But pretty sure we never met the brother I think.
>>290899920>The fact of the matter is that Shin saw Mitsuomi's punch as the death point.I get he would have killed shin at the final match if kuzunoha didnt step in but its also a fact that she did and made him ultimately decide against it. if shin didnt lose it then and there because of fate or whatever then mitsuomi would have effectively spared him
>>290900217>if shin didnt lose it then and there because of fate or whatever then mitsuomi would have effectively spared himThat remains to be seen. Mitsuomi was under duress and eventually he started having the same battle craving that Shin had whenever he held Reiki. Like literally a reverse of the Shin vs Bunshichi battle. Who knows who would step in at that time to stop Mitsuomi.
>>290899647>>290899666She´s so good.Sadly, i think this is the last we see of her.
>>290899998Maya chads rise up, our girl got this
>>290900414Let's fucking gooooo!
>>290900473That taxi driver is cursed.
>>290900591His running gag is also a core part of the underlying themes of this manga.
>>290900642ToT
>>290900217>if shin didnt lose it then and there because of fate or whatever He was mentally unstable. Had Shin survived, he would have gone on another rampage later on
>>290900903And there goes her womb.
>>290900858I know she's just trying to pump herself up, but why would she ever contemplate going easy on him?
>>290900903I am the bone of my swordSteel is my body and fire is my blood
finally some good fucking ryona
I bet the ryona lovers are having a field day.>>290901046 just proved me right.
>>290901011Damn
>>290901064big rip
i am not into ryona but im really starting to think that the author has a thing for it with how much torture and meatgrinder treatment the female characters are getting, down to the side characters and unnamed ones
>>290901129OG had ryona even in his hentai vanilla works.
>>290901246ough
>>290901246Really cool win.
>>290901011Not like this...
>>290901311Not yet.
Time for some sisterly bonding.
>>290901246LET´S FUCKING GO!
>>290901375>muh stored kiMaya is such an embarrassing shitter thoughout the series.
im not sure which is worse. having a battle manga with no relevant female characters which ends up being fujo fuel or having a battle manga where the female characters only get to be jobbers and ryona fodder
>>290901524The former imho.
>>290901719Lucky bug
>>290901336>>290901356ABSOLUTE CINEMAProbably my favorite moment in the whole manga. It got me emotional the first time I read it.
>>290901871I clapped (in my heart).
>>290901524>a battle manga where the female characters only get to be jobbers and ryona fodderWhat's wrong with that? They also get naked and raped sometimes.
>>290898577With some later feats i unironically think any of them can solo the verseWe're talking niggas with actual superpowers
has the jobbing been averted?
>>290901999>>290902027That´s my girl!Eat shit you fucking faggot!
>>290899145this is so fucking cool
Absolutely love this girl's style.
>>290902033 I don't know. I remember some of the strongest guys in TT not being able to withstand a building falling on them. I think some Baki characters could tank that.
>>290902264its called justifiable self defense, or was she aiming to be a buddha?
>>290902311She's a believer of a fighting paradise, not a war or a real bloodbath.
>>290902326The big bad scared shitless of a cute little girl like Madoka. My girl!
I like it when a cost of power keeps it's consequences.
>>290902326Madoka is STRONG
>>290899975this is easily a top 5 fight in the manga
>>290902326>AIEEE MADOKA IS HERE, MY KEIKAKU BETER WORK OR I´M DONE FOR
>>290902606If you kill your enemies they win!unironically
>>290902625It's funny to think that this phrase completely and justifiably remains true for this particular villain. Twice.
>>290902419NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>290902660kek
>>290902660could you at least have tortured him a little? maya and the others need to be put through the wringer and suffer as long as possible to satisfy the ryona quota but this guy who actually deserves pain gets a quick and painless death
>>290902711Yer talkin' about a guy with plans upon plans. Sometimes it's just better to kill 'em straight.In this case Killin' him is part of the plan.
>>290900714FUARKK...
>>290902755what happened to enjoying the torture and sense of superiority like mitsuomi did in his fight with shin? very disappointing
>>290902767Oh boy, tomorrow we finally get to the point where the plot goes completely nonsensical.
Aaaand done! Danke fer comin'!Quite the field day with Maya and ryona, eh?Next is the aftermath and the start of the 2nd most important flashback.See ya tomorrow!>>290902805He learned that day, the hard way.
>>290900737>>290900755we dont see it much but i like the little dynamic between these two
Alright, pack it up boys! This volume was the PEAK of the series. It all goes to shit from here.
>>290898138>kagomethey mean it's a shitting ground?
>>290902847The brief respite from the insanity with the school tournament is pretty enjoyable at least.
>>290900823great panel
>>290902827Thanks OP.I don´t have very good memories of the next volume, or more like i don´t remeber anything at all about the plot from this point on.
>>290901524I don't get where the sentiment of Maya being a jobber comes from. A jobber is someone who gets sacrificed so another character can aurafarm .But Maya fought one of the strongest characters in the manga and defeated him, but she had to give everything and it cost her her life. In fact I think the suffering and pain she had to endure made the outcome the more cathartic.
>>290902921Well you gunna remember. I'm gunna remember. Hell, everyone gunna remember. Even the new readers. There's entertainment in this.>>290902867A prison shitting ground.
>>290900946>>290900970That's a brutal jobbing
>>290902827Thanks OP. When what seemed like the big bad says to kill him after not putting up a fight it makes me think killing him is a bad idea.
>>290902939She talks tons of shit, gets treated like shes a martial arts master by half the cast, then proceeds to lose every fight against a named character throughout the series aside from the last one where she has Aya working as a battery for the super special TRUE form of the Reiki that has never been mentioned up to this point.
>>290898297>>290898270the best part is that Nagi never "returns" to her because his place always will be with Maya.
>>290902812>>290902847the art is as good as ever but the story has been scattering its focus since the flashback with how it constantly pulls the rug out from underneath its main characters. soichiro is the main character until he isnt (twice!). bobs gonna take revenge for his girlfriend but not really. mitsuomi killed shin except not directly and he lost and ate shit. maya is supposed to be the teacher/mentor to soichiro until she gets thrown around all the time and dies. were gonna have some drama around the love triangle between soichiro and the sisters except not.i dont get in what way its supposed to get worse at this point. not that i actually think its bad, its more or less okay especially with the art elevating the rest of the manga but i dont see an angle from which it could actually nosedive
>>290903023You're in for a (shit-flavored) treat, anon.
>>290902939well, its more like she gets hyped up disproportionately to how she gets treated during fights. shes supposed to be this mentor and inspiring leader figure to the main cast, so you want to show her dominating during some fights to really sell that but all she gets to do is offscreen the rape guy and after that the author makes her crawl on the ground for every single fight shes in, its really a let down and you just start feeling bad for her, not to mention that the manga starts harping on the fact that shes a normal flesh human being thrown to a pack of superhumans to make her look even more pathetic.
>>290901929fucking brutal
>>290901999such a happy kek
>>290902194ENTER my favorite side character
>>290903099Even setting aside the combat aspects of it, her trying to moralize and instill lessons in other characters despite consistently fucking up all of her interpersonal interactions is just comedic.
>>290903172Love his SWORDS
>>290902939Kids these days call anyone that takes a beating a jobber without looking at their win-loss record.>>290902971>proceeds to lose every fight against a named characterMaya so far has fought against Ryuzaki, Emi, Aya and Kagiroi and won every time.
>>290903438I think part of the reason why she comes across as a jobber to a number of people is because she's talked about losing everything a number of times and she seems to think of herself as a bit of a loser.
>>290902805 He learnt from that that if you take your time and become a sadistic bastard, you lose more than you can win.
>>290902847>>290903039Honestly, the flashback that comes right after this is one of my favorite parts of the story. I might be in the minority kek
>>290902939>I don't get where the sentiment of Maya being a jobber comes from. People consume stories like they are competitions or wrestling plays. They condense everything to who is stronger and who had the most aura.
>>290902622kek
>>290903641Naw you ain't alone. I enjoyed it as well.
>>290900642can she have sex in this form?
>>290902561If you ask me, I'd say this IS the best fight in the manga. Raw, brutal, intense, gut-wrenching, emotional, good choreography, good twists in how it played out. There's really only one other fight that some people might put above this.
>>290904123It would be extremely painful.
>>290900533he's a glowie
>>290901011>>290900970>>290900946god damn faggot.at least if you dominate the best woman in the entire world have the courtesy of fucking her, not fuck her up.
>>290901064Dude is so fucking homo its disgusting
>>290902870It has one super cool fight but it was by no means the tournament we were promised.
>>290900947Maya thought she was so strong she would only have to go all out against Mitsuomi.
>>290901840>>290901869KUUUUUUBO—Oh Wait.
>>290901524Are you stupid bro? Maya is the GOAT
>>290901999>>290903131lmao
damn this feels like the climax of the story but knowing that it still has a while more to go I can only predict that it's going to get retarded from here.>>290903099didn't the flashback show that she was always her brother's tagalong and her character is about trying to be strong but knowing she's weak?
>>290902695That's a shit ton of pets.
>>290900714>>290900755>Chakra comes from SusanooSay whatever You want but Tenjo Tenge is doing the whole bullshit eyes and chakra plot better than Naruto.
>>290903023Meh soichiro is boring
