"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
26 fighters makes for a bracket with 6 first round byes. I imagine 6 more fighters will get into it somehow to make it a 32 man tournament.

With the Wu guy participating its practically guaranteed that Raian will be joining the tournament.

I still dont think that the beard will be joining because he feels too "strong" so instead Rihito will be joining while he spectates the fights.

I don't think that's how this tournament is going to work. It's one side vs another meaning that it goes on until one side has no more fighters. For example, if in the first round Kengan wins 5 matches and Purgatory 8, that means Purgatory only needs to have 5 fighters fight in the second round and 3 can relax. Whoever wins the most matches in the first round will have an advantage.

And then the BEARD shows up and purgatory melts before his strong fundamentals

i don't want to see gensai fight in the tournament and would actually prefer to limit how many returning fighters we see. Raian is obviously returning because of this chapter and Rihito/Haru both should have improved enough to be worth bringing back. Himuro coming back to fight would be cool since we barely saw him last time but I think its unlikely

Between Koga's knack for copying moves just by seeing them and Kazzy's odd favoritism being confirmed here I'm sure they're long lost relatives that share that kinetic vision thing.

Koga has a long way to go, though. Kazzy only had to mask his killing intent for a moment to get the drop on Koga.

Wasn't Boss Burger one of the executives in on the Coup and arrested? Plus Adam has been getting training by Cosmo's mentor so no way Adam would defect to another side from his best buddy.

Gaolang came back to boxing like not long after the Kengan tournament. And who knows, Waka probably grew a new face.

Waka’s only permanent injury was losing sight in an eye, and it’s possible he got a mechanical one like Muteba. I don’t remember Gaolang’s injuries being confirmed permanent, just really bad(also wasn’t he already back to boxing in the epilogue anyway?)

Also, weapons aren't allowed under Kengan rules.

Goateyes negotiates his way into having the tournament take place under Purgatory rules, and then Fusui joins the tournament and wins by sniping everyone with her rifle.

Hell yes gaolang and waka are in. I know some people dislike the super karate man but I think he's :ocelot:.

Also can't imagine Cosmo not making it in. Dude has some sick new moves to display. And fingers crossed for the #1merc.

I think Koga might fight a match or 2 for Purgatory just to see what it's like. Gaoh I can't see fighting for Purgatory at all once he finds out one of the Worm guys is on their side

to someone like

There's definitely going to be some kind of mix up with the Kengan lineup to keep things from becoming too predictable and to introduce more characters. With 13 slots, one of the old Kengan Asura fighters will probably be substituted at the last moment by some hot new wildcard fighter (that's not Koga or Ryuki)

Probably not Gaolong since he was the winner of the fan poll in Kengan Asura but I could see Waka or Seki, if he's even participating, being replaced

I hope Agito clumsily shoehorns Ultraman references into every conversation to show that he's 'hip' and 'with it' now.
