Even though the current arc isn't explicitly about Kenichi, it seemed to be about the pride of martial artists. Kenichi learned from his masters, the yomi disciples learned from him, and then some of the masters learned from their disciples. But now one of the primary conflicts isn't about that at all?

I think this is pretty much the end. Kenichi defeats Yomi eye patch who is really the last Yomi, turns out Miu's dad is actually a good guy!, the Yami masters disband as evil organization and go their separate killing fist ways, etc etc.

I doubt it, simply because there's at least one disciple left that's been built up as a rival for Kenichi - even if only to a small degree. He was the guy who managed to have both sei and dou ki's and had weird eyes or something, being driven around in a car and giving orders to other disciples a while back.

I'm confused about the ryuusui seikuken "daini" and "daisan" (basically Mark 2 and Mark 3, respectively). Has this come up before? I'm not sure how they are different or what he is doing or how he learned/figured it out.

quote:

First Level: Read the opponent's flow.
Second Level: Combining the opponent's movements with your own.
Third Level: Overpower the opponent by anticipating his moves and use his flow against him before he even thinks of it.

And yes, it came up during the original training arc. Level 3 is the one where you're actually seeing the enemy with your Sharingan or w/e

At least in the Kenichi universe he died from a hammer to the gut instead of some rear end in a top hat punching him in the gut. I wonder if that dude felt like poo poo for taking down Houdini, or if he bragged about it until the day he died.

He better have always referred to his fist as the one thing Houdinin couldn't escape our he died for nothing.

I only read this once a bunch of chapters have piled up (recently caught up on it), but I'm under the impression the final villain is actually going to be Ogata and not this newly introduced dude.

The longest running thing, and Kenichi's traditional rivals have all been people that use the sei/dou combination technique. Miu even fought someone using it too. Hell, Ogata himself considered Kenichi to be someone gifted in using both sei and dou ki so I'd not be surprised if he creates the perfect form of it or some poo poo at the series end.

Interesting, I forgot about Ogata. You are probably correct as he was originally considered for the position of Ryozanpaku's disciple, has been stirring up trouble throughout the series (Ryuuto sei/dou, sending Boris to Ryozanpaku, etc), killed Tanaka (in the most metal fight of the series), and has a bunch of disciples left including Berserker.

Well two replies in a row but... HSDK 575.

The only thing I don't get is how Saiga was buddies with Senzui up until just recently. I'm sure the author has come up with his reason but they've been buddies and involved with Yami for ~16 years and just now Saiga has learned Senzui killed Shizuha?

That female ninja really took advantage of her limited screen-time for some extreme T&A shots. I'm impressed. The other leotard ninjas tried to compete, in vain.

This is the story about a real tragedy *some boobs fly around*.

But...but... Kushinada ( . )( . ) style mayhem!

This is cool but kind of dragging on, and splitting time between three simultaneous battle royales is getting a bit old since none of them have been resolved to date. Kind of having the same issue with One Piece lately, so maybe it's just me.

Sucks how bad the translation was. Hopefully someone will release a better version because while I think I was able to make sense of most of their gibberish it would still be nice to read a coherent version of it.

-My last-minute super technique is better than yours. I have sealed your Ki.
-You fool, sealing my Ki has removed my limiter!
-(Some T&A)
-Whoa!!!
-Yeah!!!
-My destructive ki is being countered by your healing punch! Fuccckkk.

So uh.

That was a good chapter and that was some great art. Master eyes Kenichi is best Kenichi.

Also this series is really good when it focuses on cool fights with Kenichi, with masters, or stupid training. Sometimes it includes all 3, and that is when you get the best things, like Mysterious Teenager Garyuu X.

Haha holy poo poo that was everything I ever hoped and dreamed of. That two page spread is glorious. The Elder will survive somehow though maybe he won't be able to practice martial arts anymore or something. If anything I'm guessing it was the rocket itself that exploded not the warhead so Elder should be able to survive a mere rocket explosion.
