Ogata didn't give up on raising disciples or researching martial arts. I'm pretty sure he hasn't given up killing people, either. The buddha carving thing was his way to atone for what he saw as a crime. He finished carving them, so he probably thinks he has atoned enough. Ogata simply isn't that selfless, and he remains perfectly fine with killing anyone who is willing to fight. He isn't trying to lose, but rather to escalate the fight to a legitimately challenging death match.

New chapter is up. http://mangastream.com/read/hsdk/49580289/1 One finger tornados of destruction is that kind of ridiculous that's teetering on the border of 'cool' and 'stupid'. Nice to see Kenichi continues to be slightly more socially aware then a lot of other shonen protagonists. Yelling at the dude with the dead wife and unborn child isn't going to accomplish much.

I guess the only way to die in this series is to NOT shed articles of clothing. As long as you're undressing you'll be fine folks! I do hope to see if this theory plays out to the next 400 chapters.

New chapter drat, that was brutal. This is why the manga is so good despite the fanservice.

Been a while since I read the rest of the manga but I don't remember anything as brutal as this fight.

He hit him so hard I'm surprised his pants didn't explode off his body.

I'm having trouble making out something, was it two of Kensei's fingers that got ripped off like it seems, or two of Tanaka's? Either way, holy poo poo.

gently caress it, we can have all the derails about fanservice we want if it keeps leading to chapters as as this.

I think one of the pages in this chapter, don't know which one yet, should join the Kenichi/Tirawit-Apachai/Agaard fight as the answer to "You're not a creep reading for the fanservice, so why do you read HSDK?"

Page 14 of the Mangastream release is really the only option. The other pages either don't have enough going on, it's too small or difficult to make out etc. Also, did Kensei just literally explode Tanaka's head? That's certainly what the final two pages look like. If it is, then let me just reiterate my HOLY poo poo!, because god drat that deserves two of them at the least. Tanaka's final line about Kenichi not following his path also possibly hints at Kenichi moving on to the journeyman rank soon, and more directly hints at us seeing an older and more experienced Ken at some point I think.

Holy poo poo, there's the reason I keep reading this comic even when some of the chapters are disappointing. Tanaka shoving his fingers through his own hand to get blood in Kensei's eyes and Kenichi pushing himself and actually protecting Miu for once were both amazing.

There is no way Tanaka is not dead. Other then Shou getting shot have we seen anyone brutally killed in a match like this before?

Beside Apachai, the god fist took a crazy amount of damage when fighting Jenazad. That got explained away with the 'masters can move their organs around' thing. I don't think Tanaka has any way to move his brain to a different part of his body though.

Holy poo poo! Did that really happen after chapters after chapters of arguably fanservice derails. Hopefully, Miu and Kenichi grows after seeing the true dark side of killing fist

Tanaka had it in his teeth so the blood spray could be from both of them. The lesson that the killing fist can work but will destroy you not only spiritually but physically in the long run.

I cannot stop laughing at that ending. That's probably not the intended reaction but oh my God Also there's no way on God's green earth you can drive your elbow down on top of the head of a guy who is biting your throat. You can't do it, and you definitely can't do it like a loving jackhammer with enough force to drive his head into his chest cavitahahahaha

Yeah when you look at each panel and page individually it looks pretty awesome but when strung together it's completely nonsensical and dumb.

It's totally possible, just dislocate your shoulder by flexing your muscles, then use martial arts will power to relocate your spleen to your shoulder to tie the separate pieces together. Bam, your arm can reach twelve inches further.

Kensei had to have taken some damage, wasn't Tanaka stabbing him in the gut at the same time he was chewing on his goddamn throat?

RatHat posted:It'd be kinda hard for Tanaka to do that since his hands were all hosed up. Yeah, on pgs 12/13 Tanaka wrecks the gently caress out of his hands doing... uh... something? It's really not clear if he was blocked or Kensei has steel plated pecs or what. Besides, it looks more like he's cupping Kensei's balls than stabbing him in the gut on 13.

His move is called wooden neck cross so he probably double karate chopped Kensei's neck and broke his hands. So I doubt biting did any good either.

So, assuming that this ends with Tanaka losing does this mean that Kensei becomes Kenichi's new goal? To beat him and take revenge the "right" way for Tanaka, his wife and his child?

From what I am seeing, Tanaka pierced his own hand to temporarily blind Kensi. That is some determination to kill your opponent.

Man sometimes it's easy to forget this book can have teeth. Tanaka died without being able to even scratch Kensei even after putting his life on the line, even training exclusively to fight him, even with the motivation of the loss of his entire family. It just feels so drat bleak in the try your best and you will succeed setting HSDK is.
