Can Tiger Niko recover from the recent humiliations or is it over for him at this point?

>>280387276 (OP)
Only if he just up and takes down a high-tier character like Raian.
Otherwise it's curtains

Hassad never.

>>280388043
>>280387276 (OP)
No. He will get some low tier like Koga to challenge him and he'll easily beat him or featless nobodies like the consecutors to beat up or he will get "the small cracks are all but gone" like Willem did before Raian neg diffed him with a badly made sword. Shallow """"hype"""" is all he is getting.

>>280387276 (OP)
Nothing can top him literally shitting himself in fear and frustration.

>>280387276 (OP)
It's over for Tiger-cub Nikek on a spiritual level. He was going to tag team Shen, but ended up jealously watching the fight like a voyeur. His only hope now is maybe to disappear from the manga, otherwise further humiliation rituals await

>>280391824
Can he even be humiliated more than he already has been? Shitting himself in silence without even trying to attack has to be the lowest.

>>280391784
If someone has considered Tiger powerful or threatening in any way after his fight with Kiryu started he's pants in the head retarded. With Eddie an argument could be made because the guy was mogging the entire actually named Kure Clan including princess Raian. He didn't even use the removal and was keeping up with three of them who were using it. It wasnt until two chapters later that Sandro resumed the cocksucking and then dedicated like 50 different oportunities to retcon Eddie into actually not being that super powerful and that everyone at their peak would shit on him. But Tiger Niko has not had a single great showing. He's a fucking fraud. His best known fight was against Muteba and giganigga was fine and ready to keep fighting.

>>280391841
Back in Five Fights at Ohma's I was expecting Nitoku to job hard, but then I was surprised by there not having a fight at all. I wouldn't underestimate Sandwich

>>280391984
I was legitimately expecting him to at least do something because I thought Sandro considered him a honorary Kenganvenger, but apparently Omega Kengans are even lower on the Sandro hierarchy than Purgatory.

did Tiger Niko even do anything on-screen aside from talking big? Kiryu humbled him and flashbacks were lackluster

>>280387276 (OP)
I can see him using "the memories" against Kiryu and swiftly beating him, but then he'll be shitting himself yet again, this time against Wakek
And then no more Tiger Niko

>>280392515
His flashback was literally just "Tiger Niko was the weakest among us". Everytime he shows up he just gets humiliated.

>>280392515
He walked smugly away from Muteba "If I Bleed I Will Concede" Gizenga

>>280391743
Please. Stop kidding yourself. Tiger isn't going to do anything for well over 50 chapters. We likely aren't even going to see what he asked Yan.

>>280391695
Read it for the seething hatred you feel towards the evil villain Luohan

>>280392558
Ah, I still remember those halcyon days when the peak of Tiger Niko humiliation was him wandering away from Muteba and his comically small derringer.

How I miss those days, so full of naive hope.

>>280392896
I can't believe that monstrous menace Lu*h*n DARED to survive what was clearly meant to be a killing blow from Shen, what an ungrateful bitch.

>>280393969
The whole thing's just a bunch of Sandro mystery box bullshit that there's no point in speculating over because he doesn't know either.
>Luohan's DNA is some sort of unique brand of weird mutation that doesn't match either Shen or Tiger
>Luohan implied to be connected somehow to the "aberrant" Shen from the past who came down from the mountains and took over the Worm/Wu
>Luohan's "last minute shonen awakening" had Shen comment that what he did was something he'd never seen before, implying it wasn't something Luohan got from the memories
But again, Sandro LOVES creating all kinds of mystery boxes like this surrounding his antagonists, only to get bored of them and decide it means nothing. Just look at all the shit Tiger Niko had pointing toward him being meant to be the ultimate villain.

>Chapter 315: The Flow of Time
Another timeskip incoming!

Walter Cox and Colonel Sanders soon

TimeskipGODS won.

I can't wait to see Koga's level after his 57th timeskip... I bet he could be slightly threatening to pre-KAT Ohma now!

>>280392896
I can't even seethe much anymore. The threads gu ritual isn't even a "party", it's more like an everlasting "funeral" that never ends. It's miserable.

>>280394191

Just h-how strong is he now

After another 1 year timeskip, "that man" will finally be able to face Shen.

This page in Baki made me reflect how fucking ridiculous of a character Agito is right now. All he can do is spam his little one inch punch. Surely Kengan has made it a point to not re-use the same move over and over prior to this right? There should be no justification for the dragon shot spam to work on any competent fighter and I swear I can recall Kuroki making such a point.

Quotation marks, "my" beloved.

>>280394616
>Surely Kengan has made it a point to not re-use the same move over and over prior to this right?
What? No, if anything it's done the opposite. Have you forgotten how Ryuki turned Earth Crouching Dragon, an alleged assassin's surprise move, into a constantly spammed attack? Or how Setsuna continues to only use two (2) moves ever while fighting despite supposedly being a martial arts prodigy?

>>280394616
You have to stop using Baki logic or really any non-Kengan logic on this. The Sandroverse operates through its own set of parameters, it's really closer to some weird niche JRPG where every attack uses a set of obscure calculations no one knows to quantify for damage and accuracy.

>>280394693
I don't know what series this is, but I want to break the bitchy looking one in half with my dick and gently prone bone the other.

>>280394752
>>280394773
No, I swear Kengan made it a point at some time in Asura. It's perfectly in line for Kuroki.

>>280394871
I think it was during Kuroki vs Rei

>>280394871
I honestly believe you because that sounds like the kind of sensible, practical advice Ashura-era Kuroki would give. What I'm getting at is the problem is that we have long since passed the point where Ashura-era Kuroki has been outvoted numerically by other supposedly martial arts-wise characters (at least one of whom is supposedly even more martial arts-wise than Kuroki himself) with tidbits such as "lift weights", "read your abusive grandpa's manual" and "use sissy hypno to give yourself Principles"

>>280394773
>no one knows to quantify for damage and accuracy
Oh, we know. We just fucking hate acknowledging that how under Sandroverse metafictional powerscaling rules, Kaneda could murder the same whale Karo hunted if he wanted it hard enough.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I vaguely remember connecter mentioning that Prime Kure Erioh killed him in the past. Was that just a fever dream?

>>280395022
It wasn't prime. It was slightly out of prime. He died in a burning fucking building.

>>280395022
Do you remember the flashback about prime Erioh and Metsudo running around Japan destroying all the Worm safehouses? They meet a figure standing in the flames who congratulates them for winning "this time" that makes them shit their pants just by staring at them. It comes right after Metsudo learns about Shen and remembers this encounter, which was with a previous Connector.

This was back when Shen was supposed to be the final boss.

>>280395066
Technically we never got confirmation he died, just that he was either standing inside or behind a burning fire. For all we know that Shen manipulated his body temperature to survive the flames and turned off his need to breathe to survive the smoke inhalation, lived to huisheng the next Shen a few days later, and spent the rest of his life touring bars across the world and drinking himself into a happy death while deactivating his pain receptors to simply ignore the third degree burns covering him.

>>280395066
>Behold, 5000 years of martial arts mastery and "Principles"
>Is that a fire aieeeeeeeee
>stop, drop and roll, stop drop and roll
>It's not working did did he use "That"?!
>Congratulations, you've bested me!

Why did Erio kill good guy Shen

>>280395066
A damaged building like that... it's weight must have been unfathomably unevenly distributed...

>>280395147
He didn't kill him in a way that matters, at this point Sandro just treats huisheng like actual magic that transfers a human soul between bodies.

>>280395158
Don't you know? that is not just any building, it's "that" building.

>>280394191
My bet? It's a flashback about Shen/Tiger

Will chat gpt ever get back to explain this

>>280394752
In Setsuna’s defense, Rakshasa’s Palm is an extremely dangerous technique and you lose nothing from “spamming” it, especially in conjunction with Blink. Even if you know how it works you still have to be very cautious and on guard as shown with Kuroki because taking a direct hit is GG. Even Indestructible which negates 99% of damage when the plot needs it to isn’t able to mitigate it completely.

>>280395213
Why is it "call my brothers" and not call my "brothers"?

Problem, Shen?

>>280395237
They're quoting the guy. If anything, it should be "Call my "brothers""

>Luohan implied to be connected somehow to the "aberrant" Shen from the past who came down from the mountains and took over the Worm/Wu

Huh?

>>280395316
The first point, I believe, comes from that one scene where Shen just gives him the memories for free and then says something like
>"He"'s neither "him", nor "me", but "something" very "close" to "us"

>>280391267
Fuark...

>>280395316
This >>280395402
And the "aberrant individual" thing is the same wording Mukaku used to describe the way past Shens sometimes just came out schizo and violent.

>>280395316
>>280395560

I got worms in my ass

The weirdest thing about the Erin/Metsudo is how consequential it was. It led to the death of the Shen who began the cloning and the introduction of the current plot line where he has two personalities within himself because he was cut short.
What’s weird about it is that he didn’t need to die. We wouldn’t have a story if he didn’t feel like he needed to burn alive to reward Erioh/Metsudo but at the same time it makes no sense for him to do so since he still had objectives and goals to meet.

>>280395232
Was it ever explained why it's so dangerous? Literally all he's doing is twisting his palm?

>>280395402
>>280395560
>>280395589
Any theories on what the aberrant individual is?

>>280394773
After a lot of theorizing I've deciphered the complete Sandrophysical Metasystem behind Kengan fights.
In a nutshell, you can be too weak to lose, too weak to win, evenly matched, too strong to lose, or too strong to win. If you're weak enough the universe will warp to subvert your highly predictable loss.
In a high-level fight, you don't compete on the physical level, but on the narrative level. It's easier to weaken yourself than to strengthen yourself, so high-level tactics revolve around casting humble charms to make yourself 'weak' or 'green' and jobbing hexes to make your enemy 'strong' or 'unfathomable'. This is what Shen calls "Principles", he knows the metaphysical laws and uses them to make himself invincible. It seems to explain everything so far but there may be more to Shen than we've seen.
I won't get into what kinds of actions are helpful or harmful under Omega's pugilistic laws, since this is already well-known to "us".

>>280395794
It drills into you and is able to penetrate deep enough to break bones and hit internal organs so you can’t really defend against it. It doesn’t require a lot of wind up or preparation either. Setsuna was able to hit Ren’s heart just by gently placing his palm over it and Ryuki also fucked up Adam’s spine from point blank.
It’s basically a better version of Razor’s Edge and Devil’s Lance.

>>280395819
Not really, Sandro doesn't know either.

>>280393091

>>280395991
But how does an open palm "penetrate" into someone's body?

>>280394752
>Setsuna continues to only use two (2) moves ever while fighting despite supposedly being a martial arts prodigy?

Just go with the idea that Setsuna is a tragic character who could have been more but his prodigy was wasted because one Teacher only had two moves for him and the other only taught him a fraction because he was being groomed into becoming a suicide bomber
He may be "creative" and create new techniques on the spot mid-fight but those new techniques are just slight tweaks to one his pre-existing techniques because it's all he knows so he stays in his field. He can copy other people's techniques as well but that doesn't seem like something he proactively wants to do
He's a wasted prodigy getting by on two techniques that are amazing a couple of niko moves

>>280394693
This looks like some lazy fuck simply traced 3d models. That guy could challenge Daro at his own game.
>>280394799
Lmao and the average faggot still laps it up.

>>280395183
"That" building must be "destroyed"

So what’s the verdict on Mukaku vs Tiger Niko (no memories)?
TN did say he was going to surpass Mukaku when they next met.

>>280394871
Every 5 chapters there's a retcon. You're talking about something that was 15 timelines away.

>>280396099
Still annoyed how wasted Kiryu was. After all the stuff with him in Ashura, seeing him finally show up during KvP was exciting, and then he just does nothing relevant ever besides make Ryuki a worse fighter. There's literally ZERO explanation even remotely offered for what his goals with Ryuki are, why he approached him in the first place, why he trained him the way he did, why he spent two years killing Worms in a sewer, nothing.
Then he just blatantly lies to Koga that he never told Ryuki to do anything, and we're just expected to believe it I guess, because the manipulation of Ryuki was more than five chapters prior and thus barely canon.
To say nothing about the whole Akoya and Ryuki plot and how it just completely fizzled out and went nowhere after the timeskip, with Akoya replaced by Kiryu as Ryuki's bad influence, his threat against Koga going nowhere, and apparently despite going on about MUH SUCCESSOR for ages, he just doesn't care that Ryuki stopping coming to Murder Night with him and Kiryu.

>>280396059
Mate, I fucking despise sandrobitch's writing but even I can concede the page explaining rakshasa palm was pretty usual bullshido stuff.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So what are the implications of Edward Wu being powerless against the Sicilian mafia for Sandro's metaphysics?

NOOOOOOO LEAVE ME ALONE

>>280396185
Shen seemed to imply that multiple of his harem could beat Mukaku, suggesting that Yan, Gilbert, and presumably Tiger Niko were all stronger than him. But also Tiger Niko has been a fucking joke ever since then that makes it impossible to really take that idea seriously.
Even if we give him all possible copium, he's still canonly a retard who drops his guard, and Mukaku is a tricky bastard who's willing to throw away his pride to win, so he'd have no trouble luring Tiger Niko into a false sense of security by letting him have the upper hand and smugpost about surpassing him, while waiting for the perfect opening to kill him.

>>280395819
I really want somebody to explain to me why there are two ancient huishenging beings who started as freaks.
I suppose at least they have different methods of pursuing that freakiness.

>>280395819
My guess is there used to be two connectors, one good and one bad, who passed their memories on with huisheng. Then one day for some reason they got huisheng'd into the same body which created the schizo Shen we know. Usually the good connector is in charge but sometimes the evil Worm side comes out.

"I" am taking a "shower" before the "chapter" drops.

>model Kengan fights like a plushies' tea party
>each of his favorites gets fed designated jobbers like sips of tea
>after a certain amount of tea it's time for something more substantial
>biscuits are victories against fellow kenganvengers
>victories are distributed among Sandro's pets alternatively, as to be more or less representative of his ranking of his favorites
>outside of fights the default situation is SoL wholesome redd*tshit

Remembert Gilbert?

>>280396191
And whenever something old DOES get acknowledged, like Bando's CEO being contacted by the Worm, it's just to kill off that plotline and in a way that comes across as Sandro is frustrated that his fans keep remembering details, even.
It's such a shame too, considering Asura and early Omega manages to be sufficiently self-consistent (early Asura, I feel, deserves a "growing pains" pass to pardon its contradictions with the later parts).
Early Omega even managed to execute some good stuff like hints about the nature of Kokuro's Stinger even before he uses it on Koga, or Koga's subtle liver kick on Murasame Shuuya. That was good visual storytelling (gone thanks to Stable Diffusion and DALL-E, by the way). Was it any surprise that people's expectations after that were so high to the point "we" even tossed around theories of Xia Ji's arms being double-jointed?

Now I have all the "data" I need to evolve Comikey even further

>>280396907

>Sandro is frustrated that his fans keep remembering details
Lmao that's exactly how it sounds every time. Well put.
>early Asura, I feel, deserves a "growing pains" pass to pardon its contradictions with the later parts
I disagree, I think these were the writing on the wall. A full series that would've kept early-Ashura's grittiness would've been a 10/10. You can even see how Ashura loses its edge each chapter, with Mokichi Robinson's "nuh-huh he's alive" being one major drop.

>>280397035

>>280396185
TN also thought he could kill Luohan. The man's delusional. Mukaku on the other hand, knew his limits, and still had the balls to face Shen 1 on 1.

>>280395232
The weird thing is I feel Sandro made a token effort of explaining why you SHOULDN'T spam it, mainly that it kind of causes you to overextend like a really fucked up haymaker. Hence why Tiger Niko noted that Setsuna shortened the Palm when they fought.

>>280396099

You little pieces of shit wouldn't stop talking about the fucking nukes as a plot point. Happy now? What's next? You want to bitch about where Xia is, huh?

...That's it?

"Dragon" Shen is an Alcoholic

"Tiger" Shen is Hatsumi

FILLER FIGHT INTO FILLER TRAINING ARC INTO FILLER TOURNAMENT INTO FILLER FIGHT INTO FILLER TRAINING ARC INTO FILLER TOURNAMENT INTO FILLER FIGHT INTO FILLER TRAINING ARC INTO FILLER TOURNAMENT INTO FILLER FIGHT INTO

Tiger Shen is wholesome too? WTF is this plot. Where is the evil on the move?

>>280398405
When that evil villain Luohan returns

>>280398354
Don't forget

>Death Dealers were Shen devotees all along
>Luohan was put in charge of a company that probably hated his guts for aspiring to defy the heckin' Shengus

>The nuclear problem is done
>Just like that

smol react face

What was even the point of Omega

>It took Joji one glance to notice that it was Tiger Shen
The power of love...

>>280398371
Luohan (Tiger) is technically 1-0 against the nukes now.

Thanks as always bro

This is exactly what I expected, kek. I didn't see the point in convincing any of you this wouldn't be the case, but I mean they share a fucking body with no issue. Of course Tiger Shen is chill as well.

the flow of "time"

>>280398465
"anon" has come to

>>280398442
Kek
>>280398374
I unironically thought Ryuki was a woman here

>>280398371
That's right. Kengan Omega is one of the worst-paced manga ever. You have no idea whether it's going to end in 10 chapters or 100 chapters or 1,000 chapters with the way things are going. On the other hand, a well-told story is able to give readers/viewers/consumers a sense of pacing effortlessly.

>>280398331
>Let me guess, Keng/a/n
>Let you guess what, anon?
>It's another shitty chapter where nothing happens

>>280398374
Ryuki is starting to look breedable.

>>280398465
That’s “me”

what the fuck

The flow of time is convoluted in Kengan Omega.

>>280398354
>>280398371
>>280398381
I'm convinced Sandro saw yujiro and was like "a guy that strong could literally solve everything and would be ridiculous in real life", that's why he wrote shen as this constant tension killer. As if to say "see? Wouldn't this super strong invincible guy be dumb in a realistic setting?"

>>280398374
All of their pecs look like bosoms.

The Dragon is actually the cool Shen while Tiger is just a flamboyant Hatsumi LMAO

>>280398465
>literallymeeverywednesday.jpg

I want to fucking die.

>>280398405
Literally thought it would be so cool to have an emotionless serious connector personality from last chapter, but of course it just had to be shen 2.

>>280398560
You mean you don't grab your beer with your feet? You have "much" to "learn" Anon

Why is Koga running with his hands behind his back?

Bad guy motivations:
Worm + Xia Yan: World peace, keeping tabs on Shen (doing this part badly)
Shen: Just looking for a good fight, not even sure if he's still on board with the whole splitting his personas between Ohma and Ryuki desu
Tiger Niko: has nothing else to do, so he's there
Luohan: kill Shen
Gilbert: just milling around

Great cast of villains Sandrock, you can really feel the ambition in them.

>>280398519
>>280398578
Hatsumi is so cool that even the most powerful man on earth wants to look like him

>>280398539
you have aids nigga lmaoo

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS FUCKING SERIES
NOTHING HAPPENS
NOBODY DOES ANYTHING
NOBODY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING
NO TENSION, NO STAKES, NO CONFLICT
FUCKING DO SOMETHING

>against all odds Keng/a/n manages to grow some sort of investment in the story with Luohan and Tiger shenanigans
>Sandro undoes it in a few pages the very next chapter
I'll scale the rope

>even more Ryuki humiliation rituals

This is the thing that bugs me the most. Chapter 50 may as well have killed Ryuki

>>280398526
>>280398634
With this chapter all tension is almost dead. Everything's in a relatively peaceful state, it's now more of a comedy/SOL where the main characters aren't under threat, and the bad guys had the rug sweeped out from under them in literally one chapter by a powerful force on the good guy's side.

>>280398634
>Gilbert: just milling around
It's worse, actually. Gilbert's motivation is that he feels insecure because Shen told him he's somehow not as good as Eddie, and also that he inherited Eddie's grudge against Erioh (passed down to his successor Raian) for saving him from the deadly Italian assassination squad with a goomba stomp.

>>280398521
I guarantee we've seen that pose before, maybe from Kaede and Daro just copied it

>>280398712
At this point I think Gilbert is just going to die randomly offscreen from falling off a wall or something, just so Sandrobitch can firmly crawl back into his beloved SoL burrow like a groundhog.

>>280398626
Hiding the wedding ring for Ryuki

>shen's AI generated shirt pattern changes in every panel

>>280398720
Not just ANY deadly Italian assassination squad... it was THE legendary Sicilian mafia's ELITE hit squad... that's how much of a monster Kure Erioh is for crushing them with that goomba stomp...

>>280398712
>it's now more of a comedy
>now
>now
>now

>>280398698
why were the nukes a thing if they just got offscreened in one panel

Would you have riked it if Tiger Shengus beat the shit out of Joji and kidnapped both Cohma & Ryukek?

Kengass Onigga trash

You got it all wrong

>>280398748
>>280398792
I think writing dumbell made him like SOL and he misses that, so he's trying to work it in to omega

>>280398795
People kept asking about this plot point Sandro long since stopped caring about so he spent few pages making sure the monkeys who can't understand that nothing matters get it, they don't fucking matter.

>>280398812
I WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN
JUST SOMETHING
SOMEONE
TO THROW AN ACTUAL PUNCH
IN THIS FUCKING FIGHTING MANGA

>>280398756
The pattern is just an overly he moves around

>>280398782
The fucking ITALIANS seethed less about their men's death than Eddie lmao, you think he remembers it while enjoying his stake or murdering entire piles of bodyguards with the boys?

>>280398328
>tags: corruption, mind control

>>280398626
He's beginning to morph into the Tiger's Vessel, so stoic, so manly, so cool

Why the fuck did I think Sandro would have the balls to actually make Tiger an actually formidable antagonist. What the fuck is wrong with Sandro?

I'm sure you are, Ryuki

>>280398708
Omega did the worst sin by introducing actual good new main protags that everyone wants to follow and doesn't mind reading about, then actively sidelining them because of the insecure mindset of "can't let people think the new guys are gonna outshine the old ones and they'll be nerfed" even though the writing was good enough so it wasn't even a problem in the first place.

>>280398795
The nukes were just a plot device to prevent the world leaders from getting like 20 snipers to headshot Shen from multiple angles or just carpet bombing the area he's in or having a fighter jet shoot a missile at him or killing him with some other method that didn't satisfy his fight autism.
This chapter made sure to mention that they weren't going to tell the world leaders the threat of the nukes are gone so everything can still come down to a 1 on 1 fight.

>>280398428
The Lone Villain (Hero)

Why is Tiger Shen just constantly monologuing to himself now, when Dragon Shen never did that or ever implied he was being "spoken" to at any moment?
Remember when Kazuo guessed there was another man inside Shen because of HIS PUPILS of all things, when noticing him talking to himself on camera would have been a bigger hint?

>>280398901
Yeah he is, by running straight into his fist and losing.

>>280398989
Tiger lost the split pupils, so maybe Sandro thinks he needs to constantly remind the readers this man has two personalities inside of him some other way.

who the FUCK is this?

I feel like a prisoner. I'm literally trapped here and I can't escape.

>Tiger is about as wholesome as Dragon is
Yeah I knew it. I'm disappointed but I knew it.

>>280399063

>>280398626
He’s an oba now

I'm seeing a pattern with wholesome chungus good guys just loving cheap food and good ol' meat while the bad guys are into expensive steaks, wine and clothing.

>>280398405
What was even the point of Tiger Niko shitting his pants over Tiger Shen if he's just going to be another LE HECKIN WHOLESOME CHILL GUY?
>oh but daro drew him framed in shadow once this chapter so he's definitely actually going to be threatening and scary!
No he fucking isn't, DragonShen was drawn like that too.

>>280398864
No
You will get another wholesome chungus tournament/gauntlet and you will like it

>>280398901
>How do you like my balls-to-your-fist style?

>>280399172
>people's personalities are just defined by eating food and drinking booze
did sandro forget how to write a good personality or something

>>280398381
Bring back gigachad Haruo you fucking hack

>>280399221
>No he fucking isn't, DragonShen was drawn like that too.
That was before Sandro fell in love with his Chungus and changed him into having done nothing wrong. Now he is doing it again, dropping empty foreshadowing about the TRUE NATURE of the Tiger, only to fall in love with him and write him into another good guy. Luckily, by then, he will have created Shen WORM.

Who are you guys?

>>280398634
The plot of the manga is officially Dragon Shen having one long schizo episode, he let the Worm build nukes and hire all these evil people until his brother Tiger Shen stepped in to feed him his meds.

>>280399320
"I'm" "me"

But why bomb Italy?

>>280398901
The fight actually ended this panel, there's a time skip next chapter. Subversion.

>>280398812
Yes. ONE fucking threatening antagonist at least. Showing that Tiger is different by brutalizing Joji would have been the perfect way to establish him as an actual dangerous presence in the story, but can't have that.

>>280399320
I think anons were genuinely hopeful that we would get some actual tension and stakes in the form of THE TIGER, but so far it's looking to be another dud in a long list of duds from Sandro. I myself am actually really legitimately annoyed, actually just want to drop this

You all fell for Luohan giving you expectations.
That's how you get subverted.

>>280399484

>Shen is still a shitty chungus character except he le dresses different
> Sandro isn't even being subtle anymore about making Shen and Yan into Kenganvengers by disabling the nukes

A little favor to Eddie

>>280399524
Have faith in Luohan

Naidan died for this.

>>280399615
You just reminded me that Liu Dongcheng vowed revenge and some shit for Naidan's death but we've had month and years long tike skips by then and Liu has done nothing.

>>280399484
>>280399521
Eldritch.

How come Sandro is incapable of writing a good villain? Now that I think of it, Ashura also didn;t have any villain. It was Setsuna at first before ...Well we know what happened then.

>>280398812
God PLEASE just have him do something ruthless and evil kill off Joji rip Kazzy's limbs apart twist Ryuki's head off shit I'd take him killing off random KAT boat and R1 jobbers please just anything to raise the stakes and not make him a heckin wholesome chungus like the previous Shen

>last chapter had the "Tiger" seemingly turn out to be a psycho who radiated enough aura to make Nikek shit his pants
>uhhh actually he's more wholesome than the "Dragon" and actually disarmed the whole nukearinos!!!

>>280399690
He's biding his time, it'll turn into a murder mystery soon

>>280394752
>Have you forgotten how Ryuki turned Earth Crouching Dragon, an alleged assassin's surprise move, into a constantly spammed attack
It was an established point that this made it useless, but then the plot kinda dropped that.

>>280399615
>Naidan: You must lead us connector!
>Tiger and Dragon Shen: lol lmao

>>280398521
Ryuko is Koga's woman afterall

>>280399690
This is one of the rare plot points that was actually addressed. I can't remember the exact chapter/pages, but there was a point where Liu straight up acknowledged that he knew Naidan's death wasn't really Ryuki's fault and made peace with it, letting go of his desire for revenge and admitting it was heat of the moment stuff.

>Niko shitting his pants just from being in the same area as Tiger
>Ohma and Ryuki chat and spar with him like it's any other day
Literally what the fuck did Sandro mean by this?

>>280399789
They are retards and still think he's their ally. Only Joji noticed.

>>280399775
Oops wrong mfw

>>280399789
Tiger Niko is just a jobber now. Even Koga can one shot him now.

>>280398354
The hack has finished his transformation. He's now Santroonvich.

>>280399782
Lmao, that's just him getting buckbroken and defanged in real time during his fight with Nitoku

>>280398812
I didn't want Tiger to be straight up evil, I just wanted him to be a bit more unsettling. He lived his whole life watching his body be piloted by another, surely that would make him a little "off" no matter how much they got along. This chapter is saying their tastes don't even match. Sandro could have at least made Tiger more detached, like he initially agreed to the Kengan match but after tasting freedom for the first time he's starting to believe that betting the brain surgery on the match was stupid, but instead Sandro finds a new way to make the manga make even less sense. Why did the Worm do any of the evil shit it ever did?

>>280399484
>>280399521
Kino

Wait, what the fuck happened to Luohan?

>>280399521
Experimental.

>>280399775
>>280399829
So you just had that saved, huh? I guess you'll have to be a little I'll to read Omega this far

I am pretty sure this fight is a setup for Connector to show his evil side. He'll rough Ryuki slightly and then exchange blows with Ohma. Before they get into it, Joji will stop them.

>>280399879
He lives

>>280399879

>>280399559
Dead.

>>280398568
You're giving him way too much credit. Shen is 100% Sandro simply trying to copy Itagaki and failing, for the 324th time.

>>280399906
For now. Depending on his mood, Sandro may off him at any moment

>>280399879
He was a really strong fighter. Awesome. One of the top 5 villains this manga's had.

Shen is like if you made Saitama an antagonist.

>>280399903
And then Tiger proceeds to kill Joji. That makes Dragon cry and burst out from his body, huisheng into Joji, his lover. Trust the plan.

>>280399903
Kek

So Shen always had control of the nukes and Luohan was just a puppet leader this whole time? Kek, my man Luohan literally did nothing wrong both literally and narratively.

>>280399615
>they need Ryuki cause he is the connnector, Naidan dies to activate him or whatever
>actually Ohma is a connector too
>actually they don't another connector, both Shens just want a fight mate

>>280399998

>>280398833
Told you so ages ago.
>>280398899
Spending time with Daro made him wanna troon out.

>>280400016
What exactly was Fei reacting to here? I still don't get it lol

>>280399903
Oh wow, he'll slightly beat up Ryuki... so evil... so ruthless...

I saw this and immediately thought of Kengan because it's exactly how I feel about it.

>>280400052
He realised he was in Omega even though the job offer said it was Ashura

>>280400052
Ohma looking like Connector, I'm pretty sure. He was made to believe he was the Tiger's Vessel but then he realized he was just gu-ritual-trained for fun because they had clones planned anyways.

>>280400076
>Koga gets his shit stomped for 50 chapters
>its ok
>Ryuki gets his shit stomped for many others
>its ok
>Yumigahama gets his shit stomped 2 times in the whole manga
>anons lose their fucking minds

>>280400112
But he had already seen Ohma plenty of times before. Why did he only realize it then, out of nowhere?

>>280400052
Whatever it was, it's a dropped plot point. What the "tiger vessel" is has 100% changed from what it originally was. Fei wanting to be the tiger vessel makes zero sense.

Yeah, I've had enough. Dropped. It's been fun anons.

>>280400156
First time he actually looked at his face from up close. Before that his eyes were avoiding faces of men. I'm sorry that I don't have a better explanation, anon.

>>280399710
The writing has always been on the wall it seems.

>>280400181
See you again when something else cries.

>>280395589
Which one is the connector

>>280400181

>>280400130
>Lu Tian gets his shit stomped 2 times in the whole manga
>anons lose their fucking minds
>Fei commits suicide once in the whole manga
>anons lose their fucking minds
>Lolong loses to Ohma once in the KvP finals
>anons lose their fucking minds

>>280400181
"You" aren't going anywhere.

>>280400167
>What the "tiger vessel" is has 100% changed from what it originally was. Fei wanting to be the tiger vessel makes zero sense.

Pretty much. God I hate this manga so much.

>>280399710
Even Setsuna was a wholesome chungus, he generally cares about people like the Uni bitches and Kazzy. He just acts deranged when Ohma is involved.
Nobody is actually evil.

>>280400282
>Nobody is actually evil.
I think you've forgotten someone.

>>280400326
Evil personified

Well you gotta have a mentall illness to be able to read Omega tho

Lord cleanse my eyes

>>280400412
For you, those days made you lose your fucking mind
For me, it was a wedsneday

>>280400203
And now, "we" are scaling that "wall"...

>>280400130
>its ok
It's NOT OKAY.
Koga has been stagnant for hundreds of chapters.
Ryuki has REGRESSED from his Chapter 0 performance of stomping Nikaido Ren.
These training arcs we see now should have been placed at the very beginning of Omega, instead of having them shifted to what is allegedly an endgame arc (albeit one that could potentially last for hundreds of chapters because Sandro is dragging his feet).
>>>Yumigahama "double standards"
Tiger Niko has technically never lost a fight and anons hate how Sandro has treated him. Why? Because the context and build-up surrounding each character and their respective role is important, you have to respect it, and Sandro has not given them that respect.
Let your protagonists experience development.
Let your villains do meaningful damage instead of just soaking up humiliation rituals and empty hype moments where they promise to do damage but never bring any to the table.
Don't just randomly bring a minor character back from nowhere to humiliate him for no reason.

>>280395819
>Any theories on what the aberrant individual is?
It was a previous Shen that was really zesty like Luohan.

>>280400130
What parallel version of these threads have you been posting in where people were fine with the former two?

So are they still doing the big fight tournament with Shen? Wasn’t that only setup because of the nuclear threat? Now it’s just a tournament for fun?

>>280400854
Yes. It will be a wholesome tournament for FUN, attended by our heroic Kenganvengers, and our FRIENDS Yan and Fu Zhan who have never done anything wrong.
No fucking VILE MONSTERS like Luohan allowed. But that scumbag is always plotting... knowing him, he'll "try something" behind the scenes, just like Hayami...

>>280400854
That bastard Luohan said nobody can participate because they didn't fill out the proper paperwork. It's cancelled.

>>280400854
Literally everything that the Worm does is for the fun or survival of Shen.
>but why did they bomb Italy
>and invade Purgatory
>and create The Inside
Shut up???

>>280395293
What manga? Reverse image seach yields nothing.

>>280401017
Genikasuri, Sako's new manga about boxing, it's good so far

>>280401073
Oh shit I knew the art looked familiar.

>>280400944
This is what it's all building up to, isn't it?
It's just another annihilation tournament, and then Luohan and Tiger Niko crash the party, get one-shitted and we go back to the tournament just like Hayami.

>>280401205
It's hard not to recognize Sako

>>280400412

>>280399221
I believe you're "subverting" yourself there. He's not quite wholesome yet. Joji asked "who are you?" so Tiger is no doubt going to get Luohan treatment soon enough.

>>280402697
tiger was just pleased that joji is such a good friend to dragon and has great understanding of shen's medical condition schizophrenia
koga will be joji to tiger and they will wear matching tiger jackets, screencap this

The nukes were introduced in chapter 233 by the way. 82 chapters ago. Are you satisfied by the outcome of this plot point?

>>280402795

>>280402697
That means that he knew Tiger wasn't the same Shen he knew, not necessarily that he's bad news. He still didn't see any issue letting Ohma and Ryuki wander off with him or anything.

>>280403506
nice

>>280398620
kek

>Just makes Tiger the exact fucking same

>>280405895
they have different taste in clothes actually (but the same taste in watches)

So how'd they stop the nukes exactly? Did Luohan die?

>>280403497
Almost as satisfied with the payoff of this guy making a deal with the Worm in Ashur(which he DID do explicitly, this is a retcon). Five years btw.

>>280406047
Don't worry about it. Look, Ryuki's about to fight The Tiger!

>>280406154
>Don't worry about it
That seems to be the answer to a lot of things in this manga.

>>280401472
Wait whaaa
He has a new one? Did the capoeira girl one end???
I've read it for like 100 chapters it was enjoyable but I always forget to keep up.

>>280406766
>He has a new one?
Yeah.
>Did the capoeira girl one end???
Yeah.

>>280406819
Going to pick up both
Always hoped he'd go for an Usogui sequel though.

>>280406766
>capoeira

>>280406865
He made a short spin-off 4 years after Usogui ended, but I don't think Usogui sequel is on the horizon any time soon, at the very least it will be after his current serialization ends, I guess.
He's been into martial arts even back when Usogui was still coming out, so I'm not surprised he's doing more manga about fighting now. Personally, I don't really mind.

the only legit "evil" character is yumigahama lmfao

My pure humanzee boy has never committed a sin in his life

>>280408385
only tried it on with the zookeeper's missus.

>>280408175

Did anybody actually expect Sandro to go and destroy the entire plot offscreen?

>>280413044
The final subversion

>>280413087
Come on, surely he can subvert more than that. Is Tiger going to kill himself, because he's realized the suffering that Dragon and his line have caused? Will it be revealed that Luohan died from cancer, probably because that evil bastard was too cowardly to be healthy and let our heroes kill him?
