Shen, you're supposed to compliment them to win!

>>279976713
It's amazing how Tiger Nikek technically hasn't lost a fight but still looks more and more bitchmade with every appearances.

>>279976854
>with the intent to kill
What about Mukakek?
Yeah it wasn’t a punch but still a intent to kill

End.

bravo

i cant believe im saying this, i havent said this in years, but im excited for next week

HOLY SHIT LUOHAN HAS THE HOGYOKU

Why does Tiger want to kill the connector again? I thought his goal was just constantly evolving?

>>279976555
What the fuck? He shat white diarrhea?

Inb4 Luohan loses and comes back from the dead exactly like Ohma. Fuck you sandwich

>>279977119
He reads manga doesn't he? This is clearly a reference to OPM.

>>279976913
THAT'S MY HERO

I didn't even notice this, wow. It's fucking over.

>>279976913
That piece of trash Luohan is absorbing the ink from the page to power up his fists making Daro work even harder, the bastard

>>279977117
Luohan's hoping that stacking enough meta debuffs (knives, boasting, 2vs1, 4th wall break) will subvert the results

Hassad soon.

>>279976713
NO SHEN YOU HAVE TO SAY THEY'RE AMAZING YOU MORON

>>279976913
Why would he say this?

>>279976631
? You started the fight.

>>279976913
Ok, you have to admit this is fucking funny, it's a direct jab to all of YOU who bitch non stop and is BEAUTIFUL.

>>279976913
Imagine if he just collapses the the very start of the next chapter.

>>279976913
>Hey, Shen, do you know video games?
>Hey, Shen, do you know shonen manga?
Luohan is neither "him" nor "me" but something incredibly similar to "us"

>>279976785
I love how Sandro was building Tiger's character for 500 chapters only to kill him in some irrelevent match Yumi-style

>>279977209
if you serve me some dinosaur shaped nuggets, that's a simple, childish plate. but if the nuggets are undercooked...

>>279977238
I wonder what made him pull the plug. Tiger was built up as this evil mastermind responsible for everything awful and now he's just this.

>>279976591

>>279977174
He's trying to pull a Nuclear Ghandi but didn't know it was an urban legend.

something truly hilarious about this eternal roach tigerniko sliming his way to the top only to realize he still couldnt scratch jackie if his life depended on it. KWAB

>>279976819
What men? HUHHH???
It's the worm who's been spying on Yamashita since the start of Omega.
Why does Sandro never actually show Luohan actually doing the "evil" things Shen keeps bringing up out of the blue? Would it kill Sandro to actually show him doing one of these things at least once???

>>279977183
Green detected

>>279976873
>>279977181
Shen's one weakness. His unending disdain for his own son causes him to forgot his ultimate meta technique.

dont care. kuroki still the strongest

Legit question, do we know that the Luohan fighting Shen right now isn't a clone of the "real" Luohan to test the memory thing?

>Luhon gains meta powers
>"You are incredible Shen, that's why you'll lose."
It's over for connector sisters

Seriously, what the fuck was Tiger's endgame before Sandro decided to neuter him?

>>279977183
You've never said something like that in real life?

>>279977371
Shen would mention it if it wasn't the real Luohan.

>>279977209
Throwing jabs just looks pathetic when you're lying flat on the ground from trying to throw back-to-back-to-back haymakers without success until you lose your balance.

>>279977209
I guess we're pretending this is the first time Sandro has tried being meta in Omega.

>>279976785
I'll tell you one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it. My estimation of Tiger Niko as a villain, just fucking plummeted. I mean, even Mukaku didn't get bloodshot eyes

>>279977390
Jobs to someone but not before buttfucking Koga into becoming the "Eye of the Tiger" or some bullshit like that

>>279976913
I guess Shen will transfer the tiger to this guy now because he looks promising or something

>>279977430
>lying flat on the ground
Too generous, neck-deep in quicksand maybe.

>>279977511

>>279977390
He was probably largely in Shen's place, but Sandro liked the idea of a chill clone guru man instead of aggressive martial arts scientist looking for the perfect body for his martial arts.
>outsider to the Worm, but with connections
>somehow had the resources for multiple Gu rituals
>passing relationship with the Wu and their huisheng
>can induce the Possessing Spirit technique in people and treated it like an important aspect of becoming the Tiger's Vessel
>talks about the Tiger's Vessel as though it was meant to be a new body for himself
>all of his lackeys think that the TV means to be the inheritor of Tiger Niko's martial arts, which would be true in an ironic roundabout way
It all fits too perfectly for it to not have been the case at some point.

Has he ever been shirtless after his first appearance. This getup of his kinda looks goofy.

>>279977571
Even the whole "inheritor of their martial arts/memories" thing ended up being echoed by Shen's deal. The proto Tiger Niko plot got hijacked and replaced by Shen's hereditary/clone line deal.
Now we're left with a completely dropped plot about the Niko Style being somehow important to the (now defunct version of the) Tiger's Vessel plan despite Tiger Niko being an outsider to the Worm who Shen is just sort of acquaintances with. All of the key notes are still there, but replicated into Shen's backstory and motivation (or lack thereof).

>>279977196
you're still this green? Any lines and scenarios Sandro writes can (and most likely will) be retconned or sound nonsensical on the next chapter

>>279976454
There's a fourth nigger wearing stealth camo in the scene, mark my words

>>279976955
Thanks anon.

>>279977483
the bloodshot eyes are the effect of the martial arts pdf, re-read the previous chapter

>>279977667
Anything more than 5 chapters prior to whatever the current chapter is should always be treated as soft canon.
This version of Shen's character no longer exists and has never been acknowledged after the Inside arc. Hell, the Inside arc as a whole barely matters.

>>279977483
What's that matter? Tiger Niko having more intensity works for his character.

>>279977331
Because Shen is schizophrenic and it didn't actually happen. Luohan is just fighting for his right to live against a psychopath that has been making up reasons to kill him every chance he gets.
Luohan was probably abused by Shen since childhood.

>>279977821
On that note, why did Sandro change his mind about whether Luohan and Nikker will have to memorize Shen's memories or if they'll be able to download them?

>>279977904
I don't think he changed his mind. It still just seems like they're trying to memorize it en masse by just steeping themselves in it. It's not literal brain-beaming. Tiger Niko just got sick from blasting thousands of years of information on fast forward into his eyes and ears.

>>279976913
Luohan is more of a protagonist than the "real" main characters at this point. Too bad his fate is sealed.

Bros, why is Luohan so evil? I can't stand him, bros

>>279976913
Luohan the Shounen MC Protagonist

>>279976913
Leaving aside the "self-aware" meta-commentary (which almost always reeks of either insecurity or arrogance), I can get behind Justin referencing shonen manga on some level because at least he's actually supposed to be a goofy simple guy. But not fucking Luohan, who is a clone raised in a secret lab and who grew up to lead a mercenary company and handles nuclear weapons. He's supposed to be some sort of mature, evil mastermind (whose "evil" plans just amount to asking for shit politely).
Surely he has a wider spectrum of things to reference outside of shonen manga?

>>279976785
All those chapters spent building him as one of the major threats, gone.

>>279978087
Considering how simple his plans tend to be and how forthcoming he's been, I wouldn't doubt he actually quite enjoys shounen manga.

Luohan should reference shoujo manga instead. BL even.

>>279977125
>fast forward into the future
>Himuro Ryo crew is hunting down Tiger Niko
>he's about to be killed

>>279976491
The despicable Luohan

>>279978152
>BL
Referencing your own genre is poor form

>>279978141
The simplicity of Luohan's plans are because Sandro himself is a simple person, but I see what you're getting at. It's funny, Edward going on about rubia gallega and Luohan handing his buddy sugar sticks while calling himself "Bruce Chan" is somehow millions of times more charismatic than Shen's "yummy beer" schtick. Odd how things work out.

>>279976913
>Luohan pulls out some new ancient techniques that Shen has never seen before
>Luohan somehow oneshots the Dragon Wulong side of The Connector and pierces his heart

>>279978087
Luohan is simply "our guy"

We wasted several months, maybe up to a year, on a character that's going to die next week before he even got to do anything.

>>279978349
>before he even got to do anything
Did you forget all of Luohan's "evil" deeds? His time of reckoning has come.

>>279978349
Yes, but shen's death was inevitable when faced with Luohan's immeasurable EVIL.

>>279976880

I consider myself someone who isn't too nitpicky with the portrayal of martial arts, as long as the action and characters are fun to watch I'm happy.
But at this point it needs to be said... Omega doesn't feel like a Martial Arts manga anymore, you can't even tell what the fuck the characters are doing anymore. And I'm not even talking about what specific styles or moves are they using but rather that you can't even get the "martial arts aesthetic" from The fights, Fucking Sanji from One Piece feels more like a Martial Artist than Shen or luohan.
What the fuck is this?

>>279978645
>Sandro disapproved this somehow and turned luohan into a virgin fodder

>>279978645
This is one of those extremely EXTREMELY rare times where both versions worked

>>279977390
Who know any more. Niko made it seem like the tiger vessel and Gu rituals were him looking for a prodigy body like Fei to perfect his martial arts, but it turned out that the tiger vessel was already someone else's plan that he simply copied and claimed as his own??

Who would win in a fight between Shen and Kaneda with prep time

If Luohan dies Sandro will just pull out another Shen clone named Lihan like he did with Eddie

>>279979180
No, see you next week

its a gag manga now

>>279979180
Nothing has happened for the past 5 years.

I'm worried I'm losing my connection with my inner "Sandro." Help me understand how I should feel about this chapter.
When Shen is dominating Luohan and Tiger Niko, am I supposed to cheer because they're getting what they deserve, or is it more about feeling like, "Damn, Shen is such a strong motherfucker. The Kenganvengers match with him will be HYPE!!!!"
What does Sandro want me to feel?

Luohan looks kinda cool here...

>>279976854
Didn't Luohan say something along the lines of "if you kill me I'll have the world nuked to shit" last time he talked to Shen? Wasn't that the whole reason Yan didn't kill him and Shen allowed him access to his memories in the first place? Why is Shen suddenly not hesitating to kill him?

>>279980250

This. Weird how Sandro can somehow make likeable characters at the cost of them being the ones he wants us to hate.
>>279977821
Exactly. Sandro is continually "rewriting" the "canon", and some faggots dare to talk about "sandroverse" as if this hack could even remember last month's chapters.

>>279978914
Agreed but replace "Omega" with "all Sandroslop". This faggot didn't depict an actual distinct technique from a real-life style in ages.

>>279980935
I’d pay to watch.

>>279976913
I know it's impossible but
I would give Omega at least a fraction of credit if Luohan beat the dogshit out of Shen and left the manga to enjoy his life, then Shen pretends the whole thing didn't happen and walks away to do the shitty tournament

>Accuses his own clone of doing things that we aren't shown to have happened and then beating him for it
>Constantly berates him whenever he's not around and then talks down to him when they're together

Are we sure the Tiger in Shen's brain isn't just a tumor that makes him extremely violent and belligerent towards Luohan for no exact reason. I think it's worth noting that every clone that either doesn't tow the line or "came out good" automatically hates Luohan, who by all measures is entirely independent in thought and doesn't want to be second fiddle just cuz Shen said so

I suspect we'll see more Shen clones in Sandro's other works as fun easter eggs now that he's established that a bunch of them are leading normal lives

>>279981659
the subversion is that Luohan is killed but its actually a clone

What's left for Luohan if he loses this battle?
It doesn't feel like there's any hook left for character development, his plan and agenda end here, and it feels utterly pointless.

>>279981705
More likely is that Luohan was cloned, and we will be introduced to his clone.
This already happened several times.

>>279978914
That's the biggest problem with Principles. Shen and Luohan fight with Martial Arts reduced to the bare essentials, the building blocks, the physics. It's very dull.
>this slap does 2000% more damage because my memories say so.
It lacks any sort of personality. It's pure meta shit.

>>279981731
>It doesn't feel like there's any hook left for character development,
I feel this way about literally every character in Omega at this point

>>279981702
I don't think the current Shen is a clone. IIRC this Shen is the biological son of the previous one, but maybe he's a test tube baby since the previous Shen was getting involved in cloning research in its embryonic state.

>>279981731
What are you talking about, despite not having fully mastered his memories yet, Luohan was able to take Shen by surprise. Just imagine if he fully mastered them, he'd truly be a fearsome villain! Who could even imagine what dastardly deeds he would be getting up to?

>>279981700
A pleasure to share these threads with you, "me".

>>279981837
The "having two brains" thing is pretty directly stated to be a consequence of an imperfect cloning procedure. Not like concepts such as "canon" or "things he wrote 3 months ago" matter to Sandro though.

>>279981731
>Luohan loses but is left alive because Shen believes he's shown promise now that they've fought
>The fight was mostly just Shen slapping Luohan around but still
>Luohan says some jobber shit like "Just you wait Original, when I'm done downloading all that Martial Arts memory I'll truly be able to defeat you"

Sandro "might" not kill off Luohan right here and now because he still needs a third party conflict and that's definitely not Tiger Niko or the Kure vs Wu war lol

>>279981960
Remember when Luohan already had a rough form of incomplete Principles he displayed back at the Kengan raid?
You'd think that Shen would have some interest in a guy who was capable of replicating even a fraction of his ability without having actually received Huisheng treatment.

I heard from a trustworthy source that Luohan located the prostitute Yamashita knocked up at the beginning of Asura and is providing financial support, for both her and the child. That bastard must be up to something again...
My HEROES Kazuo, Ohma and Muteba would never pay child support.

>>279976555
Luo Han has mastered the fart style

>>279982224
Having Muteba being the embodiment of BLACKED during early Ashura was crazy
Though I was hoping for a scene of him breaking Shark

>>279982436
>Having Muteba being the embodiment of BLACKED during early Ashura was crazy
That was probably Daro's input, unironically. He loves blacks.
If I recall correctly, there was a page in volume extras where Muteba was shown to be a white Russian mercenary originally.

>>279982224
>Cuckma
Doesn't cohma reject any progression towards karura and kaede, he's a fighting autist and could be in love with raian

>>279976491

>>279981731
>it feels utterly pointless.
Me every wednesday.

>>279982224
Giving Kaz an illegitimate child would be a perfect twist
But's its Kenzo who got a hold of him, not Luohan
When is Kenzo going to be relevant again btw? Will he do the surgery to transplant the Connector's brain? Will be become a last minute villain?

>>279982657
My favorite is Ramon jobbing after his imaginary knife stab technique got explained

>>279982857
Never. Remember that Asura was originally written without Kazuo as the secondary protagonist and everything he became was basically a last minute addition, and he's almost completely irrelevant in Omega. Kenzo was swept further away from relevance the moment it was revealed that the whole plot involving him and Bando and the Worm was a side hustle that the latter dropped entirely in favor of clone brain surgery.

>>279982224
>a trustworthy source that Luohan located the prostitute Yamashita knocked up at the beginning of Asura
wait...is that Koga?

>>279983168
Anon, Koga does not have a womb.

I'm not saying "WHY DON'T THEY BRING GUNS" but hear me out, why not just develop a martial art that uses guns? You not gonna tell me a point blank punch is more damaging than a handgun, simply by the time you got the enemy on the spot to hit him you instead unload that mf.

>>279983201
Yet.

>>279983168
Unless the prostitute's womb was actually embedded with a part of the worm cloning facilities, probably not.
Koga fought with Ohma 3 years before Ashura started I think.
>>279983218

True Champion Tournament was peak

>Introduce a bunch of different Orgs
>Majority of them were either subsidized by Purgatory or were taken over by a Kengan Fighter
>The three new characters we got were a bunch of chumps who fought each other or jobbed to a Purgatory/Kengan Fighter
>Julius gets no-diffed and his stocks plummet but Sandro says the fight was totally razor thin
>Judo Markiplier lets Gaolang beat the shit out of him so he can get the timing right but then gets played AGAIN by his own attack and eats shit
>Gaolong wasted a potential runback on Agito and lost but at least he learned an imperfect form of Formless :^)
>pic related

Unironically I hope Sandro never does that again because it was only funny in hindsight

>>279983205
>You not gonna tell me a point blank punch is more damaging than a handgun
you just need to understand the Principle

>>279976913
>more self-aware meta bullshit
There is no way Sandwich isn't an absolutely insufferable cunt in real life.
It's this mixture of him (A) clearly not giving a fuck about putting any effort in writing Omega and (B) yet still caring enough about his own image as a writer that he basically uses characters to talk to readers like he does here.

>>279976491
>face to fist style

why dont they just make a martial art that uses a knife?

>>279983205
Is this your first martial arts manga? It's not meant to be realistic, guns are always nerfed because they make killing too easy and no skill. Modern weapons get hit with the balance patch to shake up the meta. Every single fighting manga somebody asks this like they're the smartest person alive.

>>279976913
This would actually be a cool moment if Shen didn't have all the plot armor in the world. Luohan has no chance to win this fight.

>>279983205
Anon, characters have been shown to react faster than bullets and even redirect them. Only MY HERO gets filtered by a farmer with a gun.

>>279983205
In a better world we'd have Jerry Tyson and his nuclear warhead kungfu as a top fighter

Not really proud of this one, tell me is you have something better.

>>279983205
in a literal sense, using guns and knives are both forms of martial arts.

>>279983514
Couldn't have said better myself.

>>279984092

I think he's actually hiding from Sandro himself.

>>279984092

>>279976491
This? Funny

>threads start memeing up Louhan, as a monke surrogate
>Sandwich immediately makes him fight Shen with a knife, spouting 4th wall breaking lines and trying to gang up
You can't be serious

calling it now
this will be tiger's breaking out. he's going to get an advantage here somehow

>>279976591
the top left panel is the only time he ever looked like Ohma
but he looks exactly like him here

except he's emoting

>Except for shonen and manga
???

>>279979368
The best part is none of it is exaggeration

>>279976913
Too bad it's all bullshit.

>>279976913
THERE GOES MY HERO

>>279976913
Only Sandro can make a villain radiate this much protagonist energy just from how shit the actual Omega MCs are

>>279976913
HE'S SELF-AWARE
god I'm glad I dropped this dumpster fire ages ago. it just keeps shitting on kengan's legacy more and more.

Currently, Koga is more "evil" than Luohan. Prove me wrong.

>>279976491
I'm so glad this was a fake out im so tired of jobber being introduced in this manga

>>279986918
he could still job immediately next chapter after his sudden last minute power up

>"There could just as easily be worms on YOUR side as well" he says, only for them to be two other worms and a worm collaborator
>Zero show up on the Kengan side
>"Do you want Naidan's sacrifice to be in vain?" said to Liu, as if his death had anything to do with the competition at all
>Trying to posture as some big dick bully to Yumi all "what was that?"
>"I had no obligation to warn him"
>Sits back uninterested the entire time on his bench, no attempt to get invested alongside his comrades
No wonder he has no friends.

>Strong
>Funny
>Saves orphans

What’s not to love about him?

>>279981801
>Shen and Luohan fight with Martial Arts reduced to the bare essentials, the building blocks, the physics.
Principles is anti-physics. One of the core idea of the principles is that dispersing a strike with a larger area of contact is harder than one with a smaller area of contact.

>>279987474
his evilness

I’m such a fucking bum

>>279987430
Did you not forget he got fucking traumatized by the Worm revealing themselves, ambushing him, and trying to kill him in the jungle? You'd never really be able to relax again for the rest of your life. You could go to your toilet to try to take a shit and Worm impostor agents might be disguised as your toilet paper and bathroom walls.

>>279987474
his zestiness

>>279987732
>He got "traumatized" by guys he beat so effortlessly he could afford to monologue about how he used a didn't use a gun and used a knife because they're "too weak"

>>279987430
Sandro was trying to make Lolong the True Kuroki of Purgatory but instead all that posturing and stoic shit did was make Lolong come off like a total retarded Douchebag who talks shit only to people he knows he can take or are already dead
That's probably why his personality is such a 180, now he's talkative and bantering with everyone and has a new haircut

>>279976491
>HOLY SIHET PHE LEDLA FUKNIFNG KNFHE PULELD A KINEF HE PULLED AKNIFE

>the only way a good protagonist can emerge in this manga is through sandwich doing the exact opposite of his idea of what the protagonist should be
it's impressive in a way

>>279976913
I can't even

>Luohan uses a sneak attack and a knife to jobber hex himself
>Shen refuses to humble hex when given the chance and arrogance hexes himself instead
>Luohan believes in the power of Shonen powerups
I guess they're both "Non-Meta" fighters, this fight might actually go somewhere

>>279988054
Koga is STILL weaker than everyone on the boat prelims. Isn't it just crazy?

>>279988801
Just 13 more training arcs and he'll make Jerry SWEAT.

>>279976454
Where is Goku drip?

So is Niko weaker than Luohan? That'd be very embarrassing if true.

>>279982224
>Providing support to a whore
Wtf bros is Luohan actually evil?

>>279988801
and Ryuki got weaker by training with him

>>279977068
He played Mario Kart, which sucks but maintains friendship. If he played Mario Party they'd be sworn enemies after they stole his star

That animal Luohan (can't even say his name) keeps cargo throwing me to the blastzone with DK when we play Smash... he's just so despicable...

>>279987430
I bet from the start of the Purg tournament to the end, Lolong probably went through at least half a dozen different characterizations and backstories behind the scene, with Sandro changing his mind every few chapters.

>>279990008
>Mogs Ren instantly at chapter 1
>Chapter 300+ of Omega and he's getting his shit kicked in by "strong" Kure who are guardian jobber tier who get mogged by even the low tiers of the KAT en masse

>>279976913
Koga COULD FUCKING NEVER holy shit

>>279987430
Sandwich was just throwing ideas out and seeing how readers reacted to them. At this point in the story (meaning: in the part of the KVP tournament you posted), he still had no idea what he wanted to do with Lolong.

>>279976454
>>279978604

>>279981416
I wish

>>279978604
Yujiro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjTCBXUjw3U
How does Yujiro humiliate Shen? Break his perpetual calm?

Other than fucking nothing, what else can even come from this? The Tiger somehow transfers himself into cuntboy? Shen gets punched so hard the tiger takes over?

Shen gets BETRAYED and CAPTURED by Louhan and the Kenganvengers have to fight Louhan to save him.

I call it. The Shen Retrieval Arc

>>279991273
If Sandwich wants to make something out of it, he can have Luohan make a new move/technique from the incomplete memories that he has which catches Shen by surprise, leading him to reconsider his stance on things. But he won't so you'll likely just get more crazy faces and the usual.

>>279990403
Wasn't Nikocado's martial art specifically for fighting against groups and not 1v1?

>>279976785
What's even the point of Tiger KWAB if he's just gonna watch

>>279990403
Let’s be honest, in Sandro’s mind even civilian Kures > Ren.

>>279991231
Shen humiliates Yujiro by recognising him and commenting that he’s no good compared to Yuichiro (who he personally knew, and who also jobbed to him for money). Given Sandrobitch has already established that Kuroki is Yukiro level, there’s no way the glazing wouldn’t be off the charts if there was a second crossover

>>279985326
>That's it, I'm dropping this manga

>>279976913
>Haven't you read shonen manga Shen you idiot? I can defeat you with a single move!

>>279992913
My apologies, I had it all wrong, truly Luohan is the evilest of scumbag, even Yumi cannot compare.

>>279976913
...I don't get it. Why is this page getting so many (You)s?
t. didn't read the manga

>>279993090
because it's the last page

>>279993090
Because being meta is the biggest jobber flag in the manga and he's the closest thing to an actual villain we have.

>>279976819
>more respect my heckin friends schizophrenia
So fucking what he's had people spying on Kengan Association members? You know, THE ENEMY? SHEN HAD WORMS SPYING ON HIM
HIS HOUSE WAS BUGGED BY WORM AGENTS, THAT'S WHY THE CHAPTER 50 LEADUP SHIT HAPPENED
XIA TRIED TO FUCKING KILL HIM IN HIS OWN HOME
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

>>279993090
because we're all united in fighting against Sandro's dogshit 'villain, who is actually a hero now' known as Shen Wulong, and by doing so have sided with the 'villain' who has done pretty much nothing wrong. all the (you)s are simply demonstrating that fact that 'we' are all Luohan now

>>279976454
Someone needs to edit the sumo into the garbage dump

>>279985255
>dropped it
>still read every new chapter

>>279993090
The writer of this manga is an utter hack, and the fact that he resorted to having characters spout self-aware genre-savvy commentary is a classic sign of a bad writer.

>>279993090
Because we are in an actively antagonistic dynamic with the author of this author of this series, and the character on that page is basically the avatar of our spite against his forced narratives and dogshit writing.

>>279976913
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
LOUHAN WIN!
PLEASE ACTUALLY SUBVERT US FOR ONCE SANDWICH!

>>279982657
Reminder that there was no corpse

>>279993486
>we are in an actively antagonistic dynamic with the author of this author of this series
I have nothing against Sandro's dad

What is the purpose of this character? Why not have just let Kiryu kill him back in the restaurant at this point, what possible difference in the long run would it have made? I'm pretty sure that would have been more satisfying a conclusion than whatever final fate Sandro will write for him, at this point.
>>279993654
I do. "Evil" must be exterminated at the "very roots". Did Akoya teach you nothing?

>>279976913
My FUAKING HERO Luohan WILL defeat the EVIL terrorist brain scooper Shen and turn the Worm good. He WILL reform Tiger Niko. He WILL join the Kengan Association, win KAT2 and make the world a better place.

>>279976913
>the only current Kengan character with any charisma
>immediately put in a jobber humiliation ritual because Sandro cant fathom readers liking him over chungus Shen

>>279993090
There's a lot of context you're missing. Basically, Kengan has had several hyped antagonists that would be big deals in any other manga written by a normal person, but in Kengan they job and die out of nowhere for no reason whatsoever. No matter how much Sandro does this, we can't seem to get used to it, because it's baffling every single time. It looks like it's now Luohan's turn to enter the grave, some people are hoping he manages to make it out, but you never know with Sandro.

>>279976913
MY FAUUUUCKING HERO!

>>279994126
That's Sandwich

Has anyone made a Luohan LIVE edit?

>>279993695
>What is the purpose of this character?
Sandro lost the plot (again) with Luohan. He didn't give Niko much attention and whatever attention he did got just made him look like a bitch. Ohma should be stronger than Niko too, another huge problem.

>>279993090
imagine if someone said this in Hajime no Ippo

Let's talk positive stuff. Favorite Ashura entrance theme?

I haven't read much of this since the end of purgatory, just the chapter where some dude turns his brain off to fight evenly, and the story seems to have not even progressed for jack shit.

WHERE IS AKOYA

>>279976913
I hate that the dull Shen will humiliate him

>>279979256
>>279979180
Unironically the story never progresses past Purgatory im figuring out in this thread.

>>279994145
>because it's baffling every single time.
It's not just baffling every single time, it GETS MORE BAFFLING every single time.
Imagine having a "villain's" biggest sin up to this point in the story being something he was supposed to do in a DRAFT of a previous chapter. Even the Edward/Fei/Xia Ji trio didn't have anything this mindboggling.

>>279976819
He's such a breh

>>279976854
Since Mukaku. Since he killed Mukaku's squad? Since he killed Mukaku's clan? This is not as rare an event as Sandro's narration seems to believe it is.

I need a comic where Luohan drags Niko to whatever Japan's Disneyland is and Luohan is having fun buying tickets and food while Niko is going full paranoia and thinking stuff like
>Luohan, you bastard, I know you're planning something! Why else would we be in such a public place. You think the presence of these people would deter me from retaliating?
>So you have assassins waiting at the top of the Death Drop Coaster where nobody would see them? Tsk, sneaky vermin. Fine, I needed to test out some new techniques anyway.
This goes on for the whole day and Tiger Niko is still paranoid about getting backstabbed while Luohan has a bunch of merch and balloons

>>279977472
Gotta say, the notion of the Wus saying that each time a clan member dies is genuinely hysterical

>>279976913
THAT SON OF A BITCH LUOHAN
HE'S TRICKING ME INTO THINKING THIS MANGA MIGHT BE GOOD

>>279984092
top kek

>>279978483
His arms got all wiggly, an invincible technique.

>>279987430
It worked though. The threads were absolutely full of Lolong speculation and people excited about seeing him in action. We only turned on him because of how dog shit the Ohma fight was.

>>279987883
My headcanon is that Lolong just didn't sleep very well the day before KvP so he was trying to catch some Z's between matches

>>279976913
Hey remember what happened to the last guy that referenced Shounen tropes? He won, right?

>>279997898
Justin lost because he said the tropes were bullshit, however. Luohan is a BELIEVER shonenchad.

Now that I think about it, Ohma hasn't ever had a true "Mirror match"
>Ancient all-rounder style with bullshit techniques
>Similar physique
>Super mode

>>279998328
Besides physique, Kure Raian in their flashback sparring

>>279976363 (OP)
>>279976376
Luohan's sleeve length is already pissing me off and it's only been two pages. You can tell me that he's just rolled up his sleeves in the first page but I'm going to say 'no'.

>>279976854
I feel like I've seen that bottom fist panel at least like 5 times in Omega. Maybe more.

>>279976913
Yikes

>>279977821
>Anything more than 5 chapters prior to whatever the current chapter is should always be treated as soft canon.
That is genuinely good advice when reading this series.

>>279976819

>>279978538

>>280000500
Why didn't Shen dice Xia into mincemeat for real for the divergent timeline where he actually killed Koga and Yamashita here? Plot holes everywhere in this series.

>>279976819
>I have to kill you because you *might*do something I don't like in the future (which you have no reason to do)
Luohan has to be one of the very rare cases of a genuine quantum villain. Literally every single of his evils deeds is hypothetical.

>>280002083
Sandro took our feedback to heart about villains with offscreened evil deeds against faceless NPCs like Yumi and Eddie, and decided to upgrade to Luohan hypothetically doing something evil somewhere in some potential timeline.

>>279976913
he's so fucking dead, holy shit
either this ends exactly how we all think it does, or everything in Kengan Omega so far has been a perfectly laid trap, with Sandro predicting his readers meta awareness and using it against them

>>279976363 (OP)
Any new extras?

>>279976913
I hate this crap childish writing in this manga, but I kind of like this page

>>280003338
That's because Luohan is the last сharacter with charisma which automatically makes him look like a hero you want to root for. He also kind of has that old Ohma energy on this page

>>279996582
YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WRONG!
Shen killed Mukaku with a slash
Shen DEFENDED himself from the MANIPULATED Mukaku's squad and they simply died
Shen HONORABLY fought against his friend's clan until they HONORABLY killed themselves against his fists, and Mukaku survived that because he has NO honor!
Shen Wulong would NEVER punch someone with the intention to kill without a good reason, that's how despicable Luohan is!

I hate saying it, but I'm genuinely invested in the outcome of a fight for the first time in years.
If Luohan won this it wouldn't save Omega, but it sure as hell would be the closest to that that Sandro could feasible do at this point

I don't want to see either Shen gone, but another draw or interruption would be boring

Damn anons. Why is Shen Luohan so horny for Wulong?

>Luohan realizes that they are in a manga but misunderstands Shen's question
Kino. Next chapter they'll probably learn that Luohan's evil deeds only happened in "drafts" or in the "author's" imagination

>>280010569
the fights were about what I expected but that last scene was rancid

>Tiger turned into a paranoid fraud who killed thousands for indian burns

Like agito uses the rolling shoulders once to counter gallons boxing and now it's the fucking definition of formless and used every second????
Did he forget wtf formless was meant to be???

>Decided to reread omega
...
Why?

>>280012815
I was bored and just got done rereading asura

>>280012790
But could Gallon beat Akotsuki Yakeshi and Akiya Deishu?

>>280012790
Formless was too ambitious of a fictional martial art for someone like Sandro. He simplified it to rolling shoulders and turning into a water elemental to make it easier for him.

>>280011630
If all this retarded, nonsense writing throughout at least half of omega somehow actually turned out to be meta story about how these characters are manipulated by some outside author force and start figuring it out , it'd become a 10/10 story for me.

>Formless is Agito's PTSD
>Formless is Agito trying to counter Gaolong's boxing
>Formless was deliberately taught to him by Tiger Niko
>Chiba can fucking copy it AND mix it with Lolongs Silat
>Gaolong straight up learning how to use it himself mid fight with Agito in their rematch

Formless was and is whatever Sandro needs it to be at any given time. It alongside the Niko style were just preludes to Principles, the Martial art that can do whatever you want it to do while also negating all damage

>>279976454

stand up be strong know right know wrong

>>280014465
Is that what it means to be formless? To be completely undefined?

>>280015457
empty your mind. you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. you put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. now water can flow, or it can crash. be water, my friend

Could Agito learn Wave Crash?

this series is literally just a one punch man copycat now and the author never felt it necessary to tell anybody he was shifting gears.

>>280016936
shen just failed to one punch somebody thoughbeitever

>>280016936
Except with fewer redraws.

>>280017142
So...you're agreeing? Since Saitama failed to one punch Cosmic Garou.

>>279976913
>>279976880
>>279976854
I'm scared bros. I hope Shen doesn't die.

>>279976555
The 50th Shen looks an awful lot like the Ohmas, is that when they invented the cloning process? Or maybe Shen grooms people with a close enough phenotype?

>>280018508
I assume each Shen had a kid and then huishenged them and then that Shen would repeat the process
Wonder what this guys whole deal was since he's obviously modeled after Ohma

>>280017206
Sandro with redraws would be a horror that the world couldn't take. Be glad that "it" took Murata and not Sandwich.

>>280018899
An Ohma ancestor, obviously. Until the clone retcons came in of course.

>>280017212
who

>>280001359
Hassad of course.

I like how Kengan Omega chapter threads suffer one of two fates:
1. Either the chapter is so shit and boring that the thread dies before it even reaches the bump limit
2. Or the chapter is so shit but contains something super dumb and outrageous that the thread lasts for days from people just venting about it. Like the current chapter.

>>280020518
It's been that way since chapter 50.

>>280020518
There used to be a third fate where anons would start desperately, frantically rooting for a character who was clearly being set up as the target of Sandrobitch’s personal wrath. But I think the cartel execution of Xia Ji broke most of those anons. If he didn’t, Mukaku’s death and Yumi’s second appearance definitely did.

I still believe in the Kiryuki theory

>>279976854
>If next chapter Shen kills Luohan it'll be shit writing for wasting a villain you've built up for nearly hundred chapters
>If not it's still shit by because Shen clearly wants to kill Luohan here
Sandro wrote himself into a corner (again)

>>280012790
Most moves or stances are basically a powerup or a mode now. It's like going SSJ or Gear 4th or having a Bankai or whatever. Sandro doesn't put too much thought into it, I am sure.

>>280021039

>>280021039
Just kill Shen

>>279977483
Cut him a break will you? It's an emotional fight

>>280005778
Which one?

>>280020977
To this day, Sandro seems to take it for fucking granted that the readers will just root for his designated good guys.
That's how you get the countdown page during the end of Lolong vs Ohma being one of the most despair-inducing shit back then while it was intended to be happy.
It's why you get the entire Xia Ji fiasco from XIA JI'S perspective even though you're not supposed to be rooting for him + Xia Ji being a hobo who is being threatened with death if he doesn't follow orders and bag a KA member (you're supposed to find it funny that such a VILE, TENACITYLESS SCUMBAG is being tortured), even though it should be obvious that those factors ended up transforming him into a genuine underdog against a Koga who basically got his revenge handed to him on a silver platter while all his buddies like the honest Kaburagi Koji watch from the sidelines in case anything goes wrong.
Sandro keeps doing it AGAIN AND AGAIN and it gets more confusing each time. Sandro can't seem to learn.
>>280021049
>you now remember Ohma's Demonsbane Stance
>you now remember Kure Family Technique: Copy
>you now remember "transcending"

>>280020977
Don't forget Willem. People unironically coped for a week that he wasn't really dead.

>>279977483
He already went bloodshot from using advance against Setsuna.

>>280021039
>wasting a villain you've built up for nearly hundred chapters
That's never stopped him before though.

>>280021630
He's so moronic

>>279976363 (OP)
>>279976631
>>279976785
I remember this "Niko" guy from Kengan Ashura. Isn't he supposed to be a big deal? Or did Sandro just humiliated him like he did with lolong and edward?

>>280022247
This is Tiger Niko, not Niko, but yes he was downgraded

>>280020518
All I ask for from post-Ch 50 Omega is to be fun, Sandro has a real talent for spitting out entertaining shit. The worst thing Kengan can be is boring.

Still waiting on Gilbert's humiliation ritual.
Props to him if he actually outlives the DASTARDLY VILLAIN Luohan.

>>280022770
Only reason he'd outlive Luohan would be do to Sandro forgeting about him up until that very moment

>>280022247
Sandro gave all the tiger vessel plot to Shen so now Tiger Niko is only a walking hypeman and filler villain for Agito or some side character to beat

I genuinely can't think of a single villain that I don't want winning right now, they're all underdogs

Every time I read or watch Ashura I'm reminded of what we lost.
What the fuck was it?
>inb4 Ashura was always bad

>>279976913
JUST
FUCKING
WIN

You have to choose which fighter you'll hire.
Option 1
>Young blood, around 19.
>Has a lot of talent but not too much formal training. Fully willing to learn though, and picks up techniques no problem
>All-rounder, but uses striking a bit more.
>Has guts and determination to spare
>Fights for his friends
>Very friendly and passionate
>Has a colored streak in his boyish hair
Option 2
>Mystery man. Probably early 30s.
>Not that abnormal innately but is clearly quite experienced. Practices an ancient mystery style
>Also an all-rounder, but uses grappling a bit more.
>Overcomes with experience and a very surgical style
>Fights for his honor
>Kind of cold but has a heart
>Short, spiky hair with a stubble
Which is the protagonist?

>>280024996
It's been so fucking long that I forgot how incredibly schizo the Purgatory tournament was. Random ass tournament, random ass characters, random ass worm members, random ass Kure-lite members, random ass fight rules, random ass deaths, random ass plot, random ass wins and losses. It was all just so fucking random that I honestly forgot how weird it was looking back.

>>280025137
Protagonist is obviously going to be the 19 year old and 30 year old is the mentor that has to die for the 19 year old's first power up.

>>279976913
I LAUGHED OUT
LOUD

>>280024996
Alan in this pic got me good

>>280024996
I still have no idea what the point was in having Naidan die.

>>279978715

>>279976363 (OP)
Why does Luohan have such a nice ass?

>>280024968
We lost that editor that worked on Ashura. He tardwrangled Sandro effectively. I don't know if he could have saved the Worm plot but it would have been a lot less stupid.

>>279976376
>>280025512
Evil bastard stole Wulong's ass

>>280025147
I miss Purg because I still had hope the story would make some sense as all the crazy shit was going down.

>>280025631
Probably

>>280025137
>>280025161
Better idea:
Make it a buddy comedy with these two seeking stronger opponents

Everything about the connector is so retarded even for Sandro usually retarded writing
-he is now using clones and sci-fi tech for digitalizing memories
-but since he has been around for centuries he used to pass several generations of memories just by talking into some random guy ear 24/7

If he were some immortal vampire it would feel less dumb than this crsp

>reading sick ass action manga
>suddenly too strong to win

>Luohan and Nikek downloading the memories from a GameCube
Will never not be funny to me

>>279993090
hype moment and aura

>>280026296
Huisheng is so retarded as a concept that it genuinely would have made more sense to make it a fully supernatural soul transferring technique than the utter mess it is, where Sandro changes the mechanics of it every time they come up.

>>279976785
Holy fucking KWAB.
There's literally no recovering from this. Might as well just kill off Niko.

>reread kengan zero
>burst out laughing at this part
Was this the patient zero of striker vs timer?

>>280026102
I can already see the finale being them two beating everyone around and realising that the only one left to beat is each other. So they jerk each other off. Get subverted.

>>280025365
Neither does Sandro tbf

>>280025926
True. Even until the last few pages of the Lolong fight, I clung onto "hope". Now I can see I was too green back then.

>>280025926
>>280028404
All these years and chapters and it doesn't feel like Ohma, Koga or Ryuki have really achieved much. Kazuo regressed to his old self. Gilbert is a joke. Luohan hasn't done anything to show he's evil on-screen, but we're supposed to hate him. Shen is a good, noble, kind, gentle, majestic guy and you should love him because you just should, alright? Also he's just like OUR PROTAGONISTS because he doesn't want to progress the plot. Akoya is STILL missing. Tiger Niko has lost his lustre.
It's funny, Omega is supposed to be about the wider-scale plot and yet it feels completely divorced from what is happening. We had an entire arc where he had to go through the Inside and we just skipped through all the supposedly-brutal shit, OH, BUT ACTUALLY THERE ARE MULTIPLE UNDERGROUND LAYERS OF THE INSIDE! That we won't be seeing! There were literal wars going on with the Worm against states all over the world, and we got to see none of it. I guess Sandro finds it more convenient to have his political intrigue happen off-screen. Like the Westward Wu civil war or the Westward Wu-Kure conflict.
Why anybody would write in an intrigue/large-scale conflict plot and then refuse to actually follow through with any intrigue OR show any notable large-scale conflict is beyond me. But hey, at least we'll get more bad guy humiliation rituals. It sure is satisfying to see actual characters with personalities lose to cardboard-cutouts with zero charisma.

>>280028586
>Why anybody would write in an intrigue/large-scale conflict plot and then refuse to actually follow through with any intrigue OR show any notable large-scale conflict is beyond me
I think Sandro is physically incapable of staying away from his precious favourite characters for more than maybe a month. One of Ohma/Raian/Shen/Agito HAS to be on-screen or just beside the screen at all times. The first 50 chapters probably almost killed Sandro and now he'll never go back to that again.

>>279977847
>>280024211
>Sandro accidentally wrote the one of the most exaggerated possible variants of "Mumen Rider vs Deep Sea King" and wants his audience to root for Deep Sea King

>>280028733
Yeah this is basically nuclear bomb vs coughing baby: the fight

>>280028733
Past humiliation rituals like Xia or Yumi were one thing. As laughable as they were, the characters involved HAD at least, indisputably done evil things.
Luohan has done NOTHING. His introduction to the series was acting slightly zesty after sneaking into the Kengan venue without hurting anyone(unlike Shen, who knocked people out and apparently killed some of them according to the Kures), then got smacked across a parking lot by his schizophrenic abusive clone dad for something he canonly, undeniably, did not do. Ever since then, every character instinctively hates him or gets bad vibes, nobody trusts him, his own allies constantly contemplate backstabbing him on the spot. He has not actually tried to kill or even severely hurt another character onscreen, except said schizophrenic abusive clone dad.

>>280029354
>unlike Shen, who knocked people out and apparently killed some of them according to the Kures
I guess this confirms that if Shen killed Rikuto, it would have been swell, considering Koga doesn't seem to hold those murders against Shen.

People say that anything more than 5 chapters ago is soft canon in Omega, but I think that "razor" might be "thinning". This is Sandro's chatbot not even remembering the events of ONE chapter ago, that Shen just told Luohan he could do whatever he wanted with the memories with all the time in the world as long as he stayed away from his fun, and Luohan responded by immediately challenging him to a deathmatch.

FUCK Shen
