Is this a more laughable fall from "grace" for a villain than "The Other Tokita Niko" in manga? Once the mysterious possible big bad, now reduced to the sidekick of a Starscream who can now only piss and shit himself or mumble about not trusting his new "friend".
>>280827379 (OP)Remember when Muteba powerscaled Eddie to "at least" Tiger Niko level? This is a proxy L for Eddie too, retroactively. Eddie was always the weakest among those present for Xia Ji's mogging.

>>280831519Yes, One Punch Man.

>>280830092>Remember when Muteba powerscaled Eddie to "at least" Tiger Niko level? This is a proxy L for Eddie too, retroactively.This pisses me off so much.
Everything Sandwich does just further defiles Kengan.
The sad part is that he very likely doesn't even know that he did this. Because he doesn't give a shit about a concrete narrative. He makes shit up as he goes along, and doesn't care if a new fact he introduces contradicts or undermines something from past chapters.
>>280827379 (OP)>Luohan pretty much does all the work in his efforts to gain more power and betray Shen>Housecat Niko is too busy getting nervous and contemplating betraying the guy doing all the work out of some sort of self-preservationI kinda like this duo
The flow of canon itself is convoluted; with old chapter events phasing in and out. There's no telling how much longer your interpretation and mine will remain intact.
>>280834081>Housecat NikoThat's a good one
>>280834081>>280834591explain?
I've only seen the anime.
>>280834616His first major fight in Omega basically defanged and declawed him as a villain.
The most recent chapters went further and basically castrated him entirely.
All of this after years of hype and buildup as a final boss.
>>280831519Shuumatsu no Valkyrie
>>280834616>Housecat Niko built to be this ominous, vague villain who is pulling untold strings from behind the scenes>Gets his shtick about "Tigers Vessel" stolen from him and given to Shen, a shtick that was the reason we called him Tiger Niko in the first place>Finally has an on-screen fight, wins, looked bad anyway because he was being pressed by a schizo with a handful of techniques Housecat Niko should already be familiar with or should not be a problem for him>Does nothing special, all of his students are dead and Sandro hasn't bothered to give him a new one in over a 100 chapters>His own subplot is somehow stuck in a rot despite him being the experimenting Martial arts scientist of the villains roster which gets destroyed because of Shen's existence>Needs a whole other character who's own existence is to make Shen look good and then die to move his subplot for him>Contemplates betraying him anyway when the guy has been nothing but helpful >Has repeatedly shit himself when Shen is on the moveHe had one fight and it's been downhill ever since, I fully expect some unrelated fighter to kill him like how Yumi had some unrelated fighter beat his nose into his cranium
>>280834591Different anon came up with it, figured it was good enough to use since I don't want to refer to two separate characters with the name Tiger in them at the same time.
>>280831519The Tenkaichi threads occasionally bring up Sandro or immediately give up on a fight before it begins because everyone gave up around the Adam fight and the remaining gave up during the middle of the Hanzo fight
If there are any who still care they're probably gonna give up when the next fight starts next month
>>280834871>Loki just diedLmao.
>>280835037I still care about it but one of the current fighters has so many jobber flags that it would make Sandro proud.
I feel so liberated every time chapter is out and frustrations are vented. But then for the rest of the week I feel the "consequences" of following this manga slowly build up inside me. By the time Wednesday rolls in my heart revs up, sweating intensifies, mmy shaky hands boot up the "PC" and my bloodshot eyes focus on finding Keng/a/n on the catalogue. I "enter" and take my position waiting for "the party". And I think to myself
>"We" have "arrived"
>>280827379 (OP)Ok, someone explain to me what's Formless supposed to be and what differentiates it from Martial Arts
>>280834915>looked bad anyway because he was being pressed by a schizo with a handful of techniques Housecat Niko should already be familiar with or should not be a problem for himMore importantly, he looked bad because the techniques he used to ward off his opponent were laughably bad.
You'd think that he's hiding some super hadouken technique or a Raging Demon technique like Akuma. Or maybe Sandwich would tease some kind of super powerful and perfected version of Divine Demon that test drive on Setsuna and we'd hear about the horrors of that power from offscreen in the aftermath. But no. It's just basically Indian burns.
>>280835037I hope that Tenkaichi's mangaka gets more job opportunities in the future, because his artstyle and character design sensibilities are fantastic. On the other hand, I hope the writers who decide on where each fight goes based on literal committee votes never find a job ever again. They're all pretentious, cowardly hacks.
Will anything happen this chapter?
>>280836115Tiger is too strong to win against Ohma.
>>280827379 (OP)I don't feel so good about this Kengan bros, what manga should I read to get over this shit turn of a plot twist after gayer plot twist?
>>280831519Honestly, Kengan isn't even in the top 10 of that.
A true hallmark of such a description is when everyone hates you. Kengan has yet to reach that level.
>>280827379 (OP)tell me if i missed anything
>>280836203Thought that thing on the bottom was a smudge on my monitor at first then I noticed there was another on top
>It's that time of the week again
>>280836326The fear was warranted actually. Tiger being much weaker automatically puts Niko in a "too strong to win" position and he knows it.
FUUUUUCK NOTHING WILL HAPPEN THIS CHAPTER
It will be just Ohma vs Wulong part 1/2 with a shitty cliffhanger of Ohma chipping his fingernail with a crescent moon kick kure style secret technique
FUCK
>>280834871>>280835136>introduce gigajobber ability in the form of a gun that uses the fighter's own organs as bullets, making it obvious it's going to come down to a "razor thin margin" of him sacrificing his heart and just barely failing to get the kill>he actually just kills his opponent a few shots inOkay, legitimately kind of subverted, not that I'm any more interested in the series as a whole anymore.
>Fighting Maniac
>it's a full ohmawank chapter about how he's such a HECKIN EPIC WAKU WAKU SEEKER

Yep. Kengan ends this week. It's been a wild ride boys but I think we can safely say this is the final chapter of this unfathomable journey.
Thank you, Tokita. You were awesome.
>>280837828Ohma should win this 9/10 times. I wonder what bs Sandy will pull to prevent that.
>>280834641It's so over for tiger neko (housecat niko)
>>280837846Hushen will get used to his body when he's on the ropes and wring Ohma like a wet towel.
i cant get over how that pose literally looks like he tries his best to shit himself at the toilet
>>280836203I wish Sandro would pull a fast one on us and reveal Nikek is a real fake and the real tiger Niko was in the shadows waiting for an opportunity against Shen.
>>280837846I think Ohma should do some big named move named something like "Niko Style Fire & Iron Kata : Galaxia Smasher" (a leap kick), which would seem like it would hit at first, but under the 84 special effects Daro added in post-prod it would turn out Shen blocked at the last moment. Both would congratulate each other, and imply they were not really going all out, and Ohma would mention he has to train more for "that time". This would allow an elegant segue into a training arc to put into practice his anti-Luohan techniques.
>>280838164This is exactly how it will go.

Do you read any of Ura Sunday, now Manga-One, other series?
I know gaijins don't browse magazine catalogs as much as nips. But I want to see if Kengan got people into the publisher's manga.

>Hatsumi vs Julius

Yes, absolutely. This is what Kengan needs, another tournament arc. And with irrelevant solved characters that didn't appear in the past 2 years too? Count me in!
>>280838531Are you talking KAT era fighters and not Omegashart?

>>280838600Oh we are using made up characters as a joke now? Haha

>>280838600Fighting Maniac is actually about Rian killing Gilbert

>>280838682Go clean your room.

>>280838720Shouldn't you be tending to Luohan's wounds, Niko?
>>280838531>Seki vs BandoSeki would get killed on the first move because he wont dodge Bando's one hit kill ability.
Unless sandros about to say the Seki "scaled the wall" of damage vulerability after his sparing match with Ohma
>Cosmo vs InabaCosmo actually gets fucked here
He has no counter ability for Inyaba
>Akoya vs MutebaExtremely kino
>>280838720Tiger Niko ...
>>280838517There aren't that many translated MangaOne titles as far as I know, and most of them are behind paywalls, or niche stuff like Ura Baito.
>>280838769>Seki would get killed on the first move because he wont dodge Bando's one hit kill ability.This was from Hatsumi's perspective, though
Seki can almost definitely tank at least a few since he took the sumo charge head on deep into the fight and if he can tank one he can get in range and do whatever he wants to Bando
>>280838531>Gaolang vs WakatsukiGaolang.
Waka is strong but that's about it, Gaolang is a better and faster fighter overall.
>Hatsumi vs JuliusJulius.
Hatsumi almost lost to Kaneda. That's all I have to say.
>Rei vs Setsuna50-50.
Setsuna will probably manage to find a weakness in Rei's techniques and Rei will need to let go of his gay no-killing rule if he wants to beat Setsuna. Simp boost Rei wins 100% of the time though.
>Seki vs BandoSeki as long as he isn't trying to tank every attack like a retard (he will).
But Seki tanked extremely heavy damage from Kiozan, Ohma and Muteba so I doubt Bando would be that hard for him.
>Akoya vs MutebaAkoya.
I like Muteba but he got really lucky with his KAT matchups. The only way Muteba has a chance is if Akoya decides to play with him like he did to Cosmo and Muteba manages to get a fatal shot in.
>Okubo vs MasakiMasaki.
>Cosmo vs InabaPlot armor: the character vs meme gimmick jobber.
Whoever wins, the reader loses.
>>280838572People forget that Inaba defeated base Ohma and he only escaped his hair chains by breaking the laws of physics.
Is it possible to undo Niko's humiliation ritual?
HOLY SHIT *a character people actually still care about in this manga* FLEW OVER MY HOUSE

We see Kiozan use it against a regular kickboxer in the manga and he was just knocked out
Meanwhile in Bando's flashbacks we see his arm whip ripping people in half
>>280838862THAT BASTARD LUOHAN IS DISRUPTING COMMERCIAL AIR TRAFFIC

I stopped watching after I got the incredible gem of "Shen just wants a fair fight, he's not really evil". It made me wonder if Sandro really has the ability to huisheng others.

>>280838949Why would I not? It's one unexpected moment of comedic genius after another. Sure there are throughs of boredom between them, but that just means you can never truly be on-guard when the insanity hits.
>>280839013It's called football
>>280838531Hatsumi beat Waka, which it's very likely he could beat Julius too since they were stated to be the same in terms of strength. Julius being bigger and having more range wouldn't matter since he was able to deal with Bando's insane reach without taking damage. He'd just use some magical Aikido bullshit to take away all of Julius's power and toss him into the air like he weighed nothing and send him crashing on his head, same as he did with Bando.
It does feel weird to have this kind of fight now still when weโre potentially leading up to the Shen free for all.
But maybe the point is that Ohma winning here against this newborn weaker version will give us some false hope that he can actually beat Shen for real.
>>280838949I don't "read" this manga.
I don't search for new chapters.
If there isn't a Keng/a/n thread I wouldn't bother to make it.

>>280839103If he wins against newborn Shen he doesn't even need to beat full power Shen the story will literally just conclude

>>280839048Good Sandrone. Keep slurping his shit.

>>280839342Wouldn't he be significantly weaker as Ryuki again and undergo the process of acclimating to the body as he is right now, effectively becoming newborn Shen again?
Okay guys so I got an idea for a new Kengan character. So he's like Chiba but he's Jamaican and instead of "The Faceless Man" he's called "The Faceless Mon" and instead of being a retarded jobber he actually wins fights

Sometimes I remember the RCT as a tournament that was designed so fighters could surpass themselves and begin to challenge Shen who is a fighter significantly above Kuroki and Sandro decided this was a good place to have new characters nobody had any prior reason to care about who were never going to do anything significant instead of letting it be exclusively a field day for top tier vs top tier as logic, narrative and simple fan desire would dictate
He's retarded isn't he
>>280839529There wasn't a single dud.
>>280827379 (OP)Which was worse writing? Csm or kengan omega?
>>280839529Don't know why we didn't get Okubo. It would of made way more sense since he wanted to get back at Agito. Instead we have this crispy jobber
>>280839601Omega is funnier. Omega wins by this metric alone.
>>280839630Who is the funniest in Omega? kinda wish there are cuteness too...
>>280838949I just like to party
>>280839550The only fight that accomplished the central narrative of bringing about legitimate development in the fighter was the final one and that's because Agito learned that he can punch again after punching
Justin, Julius, Ramon, the other shitter whose name I forget, Judo man, Gaolong, they all lost without contributing anything whatsoever to anyone else's growth
>>280839601"We" like to read Omega because it's at least entertaining to "us".
Is Comickey going survive "our" attack, "me"?
>>2808385311. Gaolang. Wakatsuki can't beat fighters at that skill level.
2. Hatsumi. Julius is just a dumber Wakatsuki.
3. Rei. He's faster and Setsuna is a glass cannon.
4. Bando. Seki is neither fast nor strategic enough to dodge.
5. Probably Akoya. He's faster, stronger, sturdier, and almost as vicious as Muteba, so I figure he should win.
6. Okubo due to plot armor.
7. Cosmo for the same reason.
>>280839648Current Louhan and Tiger Niko are.
>>280839439True. But for some reason, both Shens seem to think they can reach their better peak in Ohma and Ryukiโs bodies so Iโm just taking their word for it.
>>280839743I believe Muteba > Akoya because Muteba really can b8 him and Akoya has a tendency of being a retard.
>>280838969What are you talking about? There's a lot of yt videos about how bad omega has gotten.
>>280839727The chapter page will be โdownโ for 10 seconds at least, so โweโ will have won Under Purgatory Rules.
>>280839832YT always dramacizing about how bad things are for farming views.
"we"? "we" is "me"? "me" go "we" "we" :)
>>280839778If Akoya can commit to being violent and have a plan at the same time, then heโd match Muteba
>>280839727We have "become" too good "at" getting "the" timing right.
>>280839529For me it's the sudden yakuza subplot that starts out of nowhere and conclude into nowhere
>>280839879I don't get it, I thought /a/ was the same too. If it's bad it's bad, unless it's tribalism I don't get how suddenly one is dramatizing.
>>280839832The ones I found were mild about it. Praising Omega more than criticising it.
If you have videos that truly dunk on it then post them. Because I couldn't find anything of the sort.
>>280839675B-but Gaolang learned formless!
>>280839916Going by wrestling terms, the new characters are local athletes. We all know they're just there to fill out space, it's only cause it's a manga that they can have Backstory.
>>280839975Minutes? What's that?
I only know Gaolangs.
>>280839957The truly bad stuff never attracts enough interest to even be talked about. We wouldn't have weekly Kengan threads if it was really so bad. The art is still good for the most part, and it's got a great cast of characters.
W-why can't I shit!?! What is this!!!!????
Why am I weirdly hyoed for this chapter? Is it a pemonition of whatโs to comeโฆ?
>>280838969>It made me wonder if Sandro really has the ability to huisheng others.It's genuinely amazing. Kengan Omega is a mess, in every single aspect. The "art" is mostly generated by a GPU. Visual storytelling is gone. The plot is dogshit. Basically every chapter ends in a cheap cliffhanger. There's no stakes. The villains can't do anything. And above all, the fights are awful.
AND YET...
People still have it in them to PRAISE this boiling heap of ashen excrement. Not just praise, they think it's GOOD and that it has adequate hype moments and aura, when even the OPM manga at least has something somewhat resembling that underneath all the redraws. Even the YouTube """critic""" videos can't help but butter up every single one of their points with how they still think the story is good, or how this Kenganvenger is totally a good boy, or how THAT GHASTLY GHOUL FROM GEHANNA Luohan is pure fucking evil for manipulating Mukaku into rescuing Ohma and Ryuki.
Maybe those people are using their own GPUs to read the manga for them or something. That's my answer.
>>280839916It was meant to be part of the SiR storyline but Sandro probably forgot
>>280840064Your hyped for the shitposter energy. As we all are
It's kind of odd how I have this great anticipation for Kengan chapter every week, but if I learned that there's no chapter next week I wouldn't feel bad at all.
>>280839113>EVIL IS ON A (BOWEL) MOVE
>>280840064Because the expectations are so low that there's a decent chance it'll end up better than you think.

I didn't search kengan omega bad, just kengan omega.
There's really not much stuff on omega since everyone's focused on ashura. Omega videos don't get a lot of views whether they're for or against it, plus it's only a handful of youtubers that actively cover omega.
There's one convict colosseum video posted on these threads a few weeks ago that also says how it's better than omega, but I can't find that video. Think it got deleted because of copyright or something.
>>280838368Kind of wish he got a fight in Omega to prove he wasn't weak. He got the guaranteed K.O for Sauceke but given that the primary winning factor of Asura was predicting your opponent, it could have been anyone bar Julius/Waka that took the one hit K.O and it'd not matter.
>>280839326Reminder that Hatsumi being total shit and struggling against no name fighters was established all the way back in Ashura.
>>280839916This one is really funny because it was put there to have some minor crossover with SiR (since the yakuzas were introduced at the same time there) but it also confirmed they would never do anything there either
So not only he wasted a fight for crossover dopamine but he also wasted a storyline of his other manga in the process
I think in a way it's really impressive
>>280840021Omega in general just doesn't get talked about often. Ashura is more popular since it has the anime, and you'd think the omega shitpost jokes like too strong and you were awesome would be on par with the jjk brainrot stuff, but it's always been confined to /a/ and maybe a few other threads. It's the case where a sequel to a manga that has an anime will be further buried by the spotlight placed on the og.
>>280840194Sandro definitely doesn't WANT anybody to think of Kaneda as a shitter. Look at how he keeps hyping up THE LEGEND Himuro Ryo, and how he spars with Mikazuchi Rei so easily.
He could've written Julius vs Kaneda and Julius likely would've struggled as much as Hatsumi did.
8 minutes ago I was minding my day but then had a strange feeling, as if I was forgetting something. A premonition, so to speak...
Not happening, I'm dying now!

>>280838531Waka wins. Waka in KAT was unfathomably tanky and Gaolang isn't an aikido fighter so he's eating the same shit Ohma did without Ohma's plot armour.
Hatsumi wins. Julius exists to represent his opponents power level and Hatsumi makes a better fighter for the narrative. Plus if we are talking maxed out Hatsumi, he's going to fucking obliterate Julius the same way he did Waka.
>Rei vs Setsuna Setsuna gets his bullshit vision from the start? He wins. Otherwise Rei wins.
>Seki vs BandoSeki dies. Bando whip arms were literally described as instantaneously lethal to anyone and Hatsumi stated if not for prior knowledge of it, he'd have died.
>Akoya vs MutebaAkoya wins based on the timing shit in round 1. Muteba lacks a real I-Win move against someone who reacts much faster than him. The heart jab and finger blasts don't matter when Akoya can move so fast that he can intercept incoming attacks after they launch.
>Okubo vs MasakiMasaki. I love me some Okubo but he's just a skilled MMA fighter. Nothing he has shown would stop Masaki and Masaki is a superhumanly durable and capable judoka. He would decimate 90% of fighters who didn't just snap his neck immediately.
>Cosmo vs InabaInaba. Cosmo isnt fast enough nor strong enough to get out of pube jail and he lacks the durability that Ohma has. He's getting grabbed and slapped to defeat.
How I fucking despise Sandro, I seriously can't find words to describe it and I can speak profanity in 4 languages.
>>280838164I WAS KIDDING I WAS FUCKING KIDDING FUCK OFF

I just wish Sandro went full on bullshit mode and said he's just lived this long. The whole huisheng shit and Hushen "recalling" something from his "memory", a fighting move no less, is just so difficult for me to swallow.
Memory, as in an old guy fucking told you he's heard about it? I'm unreasonably mad.

Most of ashura's fans liked it exactly because it didn't use cliche fighting mnaga tropes, only for this chapter to hit with the most tired old tropes known to man.

It's simple really, Sandro know you guys have turned on the good guys, so he now makes you really like the bad guys so their defeat will feel gut wrenching

>>280840490I can't wait for Hanayama to throw a slow heavily telegraphed hook again. Unironically.
>>280839075See? Told you.
>the big endgame challenge now also has to train up to be strong enough
What even was the point then. It's like Sandro realized how op shen was and used his other personality as a means to nerf him, only to show that he'll be just as strong by the next time they face off so there's literally no difference. Every fix he tries to make or used to justify his writing contradicts the last one even more.
>My true goal...is asking Shen nicely again to give me more time to train
So... What's Luohan's actual goal?
DO SOMETHING
PUNCH SOMEONE
WHY DOES NOBODY WANT TO DO ANYTHING
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Bando legitimately hits like an actual truck.
>>280840224>you'd think the omega shitpost jokes like too strong and you were awesome would be on par with the jjk brainrot stuffBit off-topic, but I've been thinking about JJKs quotability as of late. Of course the massive popularity helped, but I can't recall many other popular series in the last decade that has so many quoted one-liners
>Stand Proud>Are you X because of Y, or are you Y because of X>Nah, I'd win>I'm just a cog>But that's how losers think>The strongest X in history vs the strongest X of todayand many more I'm forgetting right now.
My point is that I noticed how good quotes can make threads funnier and memorable. Keng/a/n is a prime example of this. It's honestly impressive that our lingo already breaches to other /a/ fandoms.

>>280841258Wakatsuki wins due to being too much of a tank and Rei wanting to kill him.
I think Okube wins. He's just too good in combat and Muteba doesn't have many opportunites as an assassin to win in a straight 1v1.
Mokichi would win. It would be a hell of a fight, but he's skilled enough to outpace Saw and deal great damage seeing as he performed against base Raian.
Poor Seki.
Inaba is a freak, but Bando is an even bigger freak. Inaba has little options against Bando, so he most likely wins.
Hard to say. R1 Hatsumi isn't in his peak condition yet. Cosmo if he takes the fight ot the ground likely wins.
Poor Masaki
This would be the most interesting fight in Kat with early Sandro and Daro quality. Could go either way. Julius likely only needs one or two solid strikes or grabs. Gaolang has to focus on either knockout to the head or start kicking his knees. Either way a fascinating drawn out fight.

>>280841258>WakaRei is getting parried and I'm not confident he can even really hurt Waka without having to commit to full combos like he did against Saw. I see him getting out of this with relatively negligible damage.
>OkuboMuteba's not going to get a chance to collect himself against Okubo's combos. We know that Muteba can force his way out of a grapple, but Okubo will just transition into a throw or blow and keep up the pressure. He's going to end up eating a soccer kick to the head and go down, but he might maim Okubo some first.
>SawMokichi styles on Saw, but he relies primarily on blows as finishers and his joint locks probably won't be super effective on Saw. Saw is eventually going to get ahold of him and then it's over. He's not coming away uninjured though.
>AkoyaR1 Akoya is too collected and he'll time his attacks to the gaps in Seki's defense. Seki can deal with pain, but he's going to get worn down by all of Akoya's strikes. Akoya may wear himself out beating on the human sandbag though.
>BandoInaba's binding gimmick and footwork probably won't do too much against a guy with nearly 360 degrees of joint rotation and monstrous strength. Bando will be manhandling Inaba by his hair if he tries to tie him up and he comes away with some bruising.
>CosmoCosmo is going to strangle R1 Hatsumi. Cosmo will probably start to figure out Foresight, but he won't have the fire lit in him like he did against Akoya.
>SetsunaSetsuna will rain Palms on him, but Meguro will shrug them off even as he gets debilitated. He might get a vicious counter throw, but he'll be dead long before he does lasting damage to Setsuna.
>JuliusThis one is a toss-up. I think Gao can harass and keep up the pressure without getting gassed, but his knockout power isn't high enough and the frame difference really matters here. Julius really only needs one or two hits to wear Gaolang down, and then it's curtains. He might incur some joint damage though.

>>280842174>I want him to get stronger! For 10 more years at least!
>>280841743by flanderization people mean that one character trait eats all of the others in the character's portrayal until it's the only one left
>>280842136>Louhan is bringing the kengan memeposting back by himselfHow can you hate this despicable monster?
>>280842037From here it gets more interesting
>WakaWaka comes out of R1 relatively fine due to how Rei fights and Okubo is probably injured. This is a fight I'd already give to Waka normally, so Okubo gets ripped apart here. This is probably a light to moderate difficulty fight with Okubo's state coming out of the first round, so Waka ends up relatively fine if a little bruised.
>Akoya Akoya probably won't have much in the way of hard injuries from R1, but he might he tired. Seki's sturdiness will probably have brought out his sadism a little earlier though, but I don't see him losing to Saw even with that. He'd take his time picking Saw apart and he might bite a chunk out of him, but I'd bet he'll take a Hammer of Burma AND tire himself out further. Akoya comes away pretty injured and exhausted.
>BandoCosmo is still too green to face Bando. He won't he able to predict the whip, so Zone is useless here. Bando is just an awful match-up for him even without considering the arm whip because his joints are fucked and Cosmo probably won't be able to break his arm as easily as Hatsumi could even if he got close. Cosmo dies and Bando walks away uninjured.
>SetsunaJulius will probably figure out Blink, but he's got no defense against Rakshasa's Palm aside from having thick muscles. Palm can penetrate deep though. I could see Julius timing a counter, but it's only coming after he's eaten a Palm or two and Falling Demon is going to ensure that Setsuna stays in the fight. Setsuna ends up injured, but more importantly his psychosis progresses faster.
So are we supposed to assume that if Tiger Niko had just jumped Tiger Shen instead of shitting his pants, he probably would have won, especially since Hushen's motor skills were barely even existent then and he couldn't even speak yet....?
>>280842317Yeah but he was "creepy" though
>>280842264This and that are two separate topics. Related, sure, but different.
Genuinely might drop this series, none of the characters I like show up anymore, the plot isn't interesting anymore, the fusing of the Association with Purgatory did nothing but add a whole bunch of pointless characters who never show up because Sandro forgot about half the cast. Really should've just left it with Ashura and started something completely new instead of this multiverse nonsense.
>>280842458Now this is a referential joke I can get behind.
>>280840721Must be a mangaka's reflex, you HAVE to end the chapter saying "wanna know more? wait for next chapter!", even if you're running on fumes and have literally nothing else to show next
>>280842469See you next week
>>280842469Wait anon, are you seriously not reading something else besides Omega?
We're all shitting on it but we're also reading better/more interesting/simply not Omega manga in the meantime
>>280841056Holy shit a CEO showed up in this manga! How long has it been since that last happened?
>>280842642Luohan is a CEO, ain't he?
>>280842560.... I should get back to my other series you're right.
>>280842303Semi-finals
>WakaWaka is too clean and Akoya has taken too much at this point. This will probably be Akoya at his most bloodthirsty, maybe even more than we've ever seen him. Waka will have to put down the rabid dog to actually win because I don't see anything short of death stopping Akoya in this state. This would probably be THE fight to watch even with the disparity in condition going into the fight. Waka will probably end up bloody and with some kind of serious wound.
>SetsunaSetsuna actually has the tools to see and avoid the whip and deal damage to Bando. Bando admitted that he can't keep whipping forever because of the toll it takes on him as well, so if Setsuna is at all careful then Bando will just fall apart. That said, I can see Setsuna taking a glancing blow from a whip and losing an arm or something because he wanted to match blow-for-blow. He probably awakens the True Rakshasa's Palm if he didn't against Julius already.
Then for the finals
>WakaI think that Setsuna would be too far gone by this point to handle the much more composed Waka. He'd be at his strongest, but most unhinged and Waka would prey on that. We'd probably get to see a True Rakshasa's Palm absolutely devastate Waka, but he'd trade a Blast Core and that'd be curtains for Setsuna. I would say that if Setsuna were more sane he'd be able to use Fallen Demon's awareness boost to suss out Waka's weakness in his ankle and abuse it, but it's not happening here given how much he'd have used it in the prior matches. We'd probably get a really cool page of Setsuna hallucinating Waka as Niko what with how Ohma likened them in their match.
Congrats, you found a bracket where Waka could actually come out on top pretty definitively.
>>280842677He doesn't really count and neither does Metsudo
>>280841056>>280841083I know that asking where something is going is laughable in a Sandro manga, but where could this Kiryu stuff possibly headed with all the focus him in the hospital and his direction in life has gotten here? A rematch and killing Tiger Niko this time?
>>280840618>>Nah, I'd winNever read JJK, but that page was indeed pretty cool. Hope the ensuing fights made good use of that coolness.
>>280840644Nothing to study, the idiot writes himself into a corner, then simply steps all over the writing.
>>280842642I honestly forgot about these characters, kinda assumed the Association was running by itself or under Nogi (which would explain it's total inadecuacy to face any problem)
>>280842694Cool, have fun anon. See you next week though
>>280842758>NogiActually when was the last time he showed up?
>>280842755>Hope the ensuing fights made good use of that coolness.Well, it was pretty funny at the time at least.
>>280842755>Never read JJK, but that page was indeed pretty coolI wonder if you're being facetious because it's only really memeable since Gojo did lose.
>>280840618All of what you've listed have different "appeals" but they're generally applicable to so many things.
>>But that's how losers thinkMy brain is too broken to not read "farmers" there.
>>280842752Tiger Niko is absolutely going to be food for either Setsuna or Agito at this rate. I'm leaning more toward the latter because I doubt Setsuna will be given another shot against him though. Maybe he'll go deal with something Worm-related in the Inside instead. Agito doesn't really have any play with Tiger Niko yet in Omega, but it's hard to connect the dots from Point A to Point B in how he'd wind up confronting him. Logically, he should want to, but he's so far removed from the plot at this point that he feels like he belongs in a different story.
Agito not getting further involved with Ryuki, Setsuna, or even fucking Lu Tian really divorced him from the "main plot."
>>280840856>Was Ohma always this type of guy?The kind to have his character and personality retconned? Yes.
Nikos in general are comedic failures thanks to the disastrous fall from grace their master suffered. Gaoh Mukaku, now that's a character that should have never shown his face in the manga.
>>280842799Apparently, since before Christmas (Chapter 288 - Dec 18th)
>>280842908Sandro made sure to retread and hammer in the point of Niko fucking up his life during the Real Timer's Tournament flashback, so I'm guessing that's him setting up Agito to take him out.
Maybe Kiryu will get Yan or Fu Zhan or something(unless Sandro officially considers them Kenganvengers now).
>>280843082I almost want to say that Fu is safe because he diverted all of the jobber energy into his clone and he's just been a somewhat goofy, goggle-wearing lackey for Shen and Yan since he first appeared. He even survived wielding a knife against a named character.
Yan has honorary main cast status now as Shen's straightman and nanny. He won't die unless Shen suddenly becomes despicably evil again or he himself reveals he's had a secret evil plan all along.
>>280842894>I wonder if you're being facetious because it's only really memeable since Gojo did lose.I'm not. But maybe knowing nothing about the situation made it cooler than it is, since that white-haired guy looked like he held the same status as early Ashura Ohma in-universe.

>>280843283Okay then I can indeed confirm that from the viewpoint of someone who knows nothing about the series, it looked pretty cool.
>>280843213>>280843283I remember our brief surge of Kuroki Gojoposting back during that cliffhanger of him entering Shen's room.
You know BACK WHEN WE THOUGHT SOMETHING MIGHT FUCKING HAPPEN IN THE PLOT ONE SINGLE THING ONE BIG HAPPENING LITERALLY ANYTHING AAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>280843399>BACK WHEN WE THOUGHT SOMETHING MIGHT FUCKING HAPPEN IN THE PLOT ONE SINGLE THING ONE BIG HAPPENING LITERALLY ANYTHING AAAAAAAAAAAAAWow you were a real sucker then by that point I had already been going with the flow for a while and had no expectations besides comedy
>>280841164Cubari anon here, thanks for the dump (and thanks for that other anon dumping every week I don't have the patience for it kek this sequel peaked at Saw Paing vs Cosmo)
Scan resolution scales with your screen so I guess you're not running a 4k one
>>280843476I didn't have "expectations" per se, but we'd yet to fall into the absolute purgatorial rut of stagnation we've been in now for like two years, of Shen and Ohma actively conspiring to shut down literally anything from happening anywhere.
>>280843537>"he" did not have the "epiphany" after the "tragedy"
>>280841340Being a murderer isn't enough to get you vilified in the Association. Ohma was a murderer since childhood, Ryuki was treated as a lost lamb, Akoya is kind of just accepted despite openly going for the kill, Agito has killed multiple opponents with deliberate finishing blows, and you can't tell me Waka has never accidentally killed an opponent before.
Remember, they regularly employ murderers and criminals for the sake of perpetuating a violent system of commercial flow. Setsuna being mentally unstable is the biggest tragedy of his character to these people because, aside from that, he's actually a really pleasant and helpful guy. Despite knowing him for a very brief time, Setsuna tried to "protect" Yamashita from "Tokita Niko."
He's just genuinely mentally unwell in large part to his extremely fucked upbringing. The fact he functions at all is a small miracle. That doesn't mean he isn't accountable for his actions, but it's not wrong to want to see the good in people when you've seen for yourself that it's there.
>>280843742The INSIDE is an inescapable secret Hell.
Everyone knows it's the worst!
>>280842752Surely he'll fight Tiger Niko again and die to him to establish him as a real threat.
...yeah, no, the humiliation ritual continues.
>>280843742It's crazy because Agito only killed during fights and Ohma/Ryuki killed because of the the circumstances in which they grew up in. While it doesn't make them innocent, it's kinda understandable.
Meanwhile you have a known literal child killer Akoya roaming about in the KA and as a policeman in the city and everyone is just fine with that.
Muteba is another one, I doubt The Genocider was just a cool nickname he gave himself and from what we've seen he doesn't care about "collateral damage" unless he got specific orders to keep them alive.
>>280842908>it's hard to connect the dots from Point A to Point B in how he'd wind up confronting him.Good thing Sandro doesn't need to!
Here's a tip from the legend himself.

A random monthly manga I read had a kengan joke in the credit page. Niko breaking is one hell of a destructive recjnique by Sandro. Is this revenge because he never got to become a movie director before 40?
Kengan needs to be destroyed
>>280845830It must be destroyed.
>>280841310I've seen it so many times and it still makes me laugh
>>280839529>and Sandro decided this was a good place to have new characters nobody had any prior reason to care about who were never going to do anything significant>and Sandro decidedHe decided nothing of that sort. The RCT was purely filler, like everything else in Omega. For the millionth time, he only cares about stretching Omega out for as long as it makes money. He doesn't give a single shit about pacing, plot, consistency, characterization or any of that. He views Omega as a steady source of easy income that requires only 5 minutes of work per week.
>>280842136Hearty Kek
>>280842894>My brain is too broken to not read "farmers" there.I actively had to correct my sentence because I also wrote "farmer" first.
It's just too good.
>>280841340Sandro copied me.
>>280844208When our "normal" characters are wheeling and dealing mega corp CEOs who orchestrate mass societal change off the back of fist fights in random warehouses, it's hard to really say the murder cop or psycho merc are even among the worst of the worst.

Haven't read Omega since the gay ass tournament where Agiyto beat Gaolang, i just couldn't endure it anymore.
What did "i" miss, did something happen in however many chapters that was?
>>280853598Literally nothing has happened. You might think I'm exagerating for dramatic effect, but I'm completely serious. Nothing happened. There has been zero plot developments of any kind. To tell you how bad it is, we spent 3 chapters on Wakatsuki vs Omori.
