What if Kuroki wins, but non-lethally and does it just to prove to his (not)disciple rihito that it is in fact possible.

Scallop Eyes posted:I've seen the theory that Kuroki will end up fighting either Yan or the bodyguard dude instead, and I think it's probably more likely too. We’ve had Shen being shown as untouchable followed by Ohma saying that his faith in martial arts was momentarily shaken by this but that he believes there is a way for martial arts to win. Kuroki, the current pinnacle of martial arts in the Kenganverse, has then challenged Shen. To me the obvious conclusion is that Kuroki will lose (because what the hell happens if he wins) but lose in a way that shows Shen isn’t untouchable, that he can be hurt and beaten. Possibly this might combo with injuring him so that he’s not in peak condition for his fights with the Kengan association. This then sets up Ohma to beat him in the Kengan Annihilation tournament. Alternatively the Sandro sucks route is for Kuroki to completely job to make Shen even more ridiculously hyped.

I was really hoping we'd never see kuroki fight again, because it would have inevitably been something like this lol. Narratively I don't see how he could pull out a win here, but if they can surprise me with how bad the story is getting maybe they can surprise me with something fun this time

shen simply decides that he is immune to karate, and that's that.

Okay, so now not only are they going to call Yujiro in to crush Shen, they're also calling in their favor with Akuma as well.

Kuroki is clearly going to lose because ohma has to win but ultimately the point is to show that ohma can actually win. Remember kuroki talked about his disappointment at fighting a broken ohma in the final Hopefully the tournament is jurota, donaire, ryuki, the other finger guys who's name escapes me, agito vs tiger Niko and ohma Vs Shen Shen fighting and losing to kogas uncle would rule though

Still maintaining that switching away from Koga being the protagonist was the first and biggest mistake of Kengan Omega.

Jose posted:I assume sales plummeted so they brought in ryuki but that fixed nothing Yeah I assume the plan was for Koga to slowly get stronger and more involved with the major players until he was caught up to everyone. But readers thought it was too slow so Sandro sped it up and upped the stakes but now it’s going so quick there’s no way for Koga to realistically get strong enough to be relevant. Only way it could maybe be fixed is a timeskip. Maybe Kuroki gets Connector to agree to wait a few years?

There's no limit to what Sandro can asspull if he wants to. It's purely a matter of if he wants to keep Koga relevant at this point and we don't see any indication of that.

The series is called Kengan Omega, not Ashura Omega. Koga is the Kengan, and Ryuki the Omega. Sandro needs to get back to the bl pronto

Right, I forgot Joji and Shen were serving as proxies for Koga and Ryuki. They’re basically their final evolutions.

Oh, so they'll give him a proper fight at least, neat. Unfortunately, Agito and Donron being also here and them all fighting Connector and leaders of Worm before the big Kengan tournament basically 100% ensures that they lose.

The Beard upset all presumptions of the obvious plotline in Ashura. gently caress it, Why not. The Worm have goofy rear end villains weirdly deflating after their build up since the start. Kick his can, Karate Man.

I 100% agree with whichever politician said "gently caress this tournament nonsense just kill the guy" although it's pretty obvious the story is going to disagree that this is objectively the correct move to make. Only better move would be hiring a sniper because there are plenty of windows right there.

Just lol if you think that Shen wouldn't simply snatch the sniper bullet mid-air and then immediately flash step behind the sniper and kill him, all the while not changing his expression and complaining about how boring modern assassination attempts are.

Fact is tiger Niko is the actual final villain. Notice how he's not here and been doing worm like activities

I have to say I did like Shen trying to skirt out of fighting by pretending to not be the connector He should do more of that, and not be some stoic boring dude.

If Kuroki loses, his second friend- weirdly absent from two martial arts tournament mangas up until now- will lay him down on that couch and promise to avenge him. Or his name isn't BRUCE LEE
