Both karate masters have a huge scar on their face. Hongou obviously believes in offense, and Sakaki claimed that defense was more important. They are almost certainly long-time rivals with an extensive history together, etc. Same thing with Apachai's counterpart, only his opponent is possibly also his master.

So much for avoiding life and death battles with his friends. Mustaches are much higher stakes than mere life and death.

LightWarden posted:I don't know if there's going to be more than one character per series though. I do think that odds are good that Ranma will show up though. Also, in the screenshots, Inuyasha is fighting someone named "Jio", who's probably from Weekly Shonen Magazine. Anyone have any idea who it is? Also, Negi is fighting some kid with reddish orange hair who's probably from Shonen Sunday name __(o?)ru who seems to fire some sort of wings from his feet. Well, Freddie doesn't have a VA. If he has specials that involve him riding his giant horse around I will buy a PSP and import this, no matter what.

Didn't you know that telling a girl that you like her is by far the most physically and mentally demanding task in anime? Broken limbs, impalement, etc. are all considered viable alternatives to risking rejection.

bubblegumbo0 posted:I hope more people in Shinpaku gets a master class sensei soon. Too bad this manga follows the shononen mantra of "Only he can win, no-one else can!" Except for all the times Kenichi loses. He hasn't even gotten a rematch with the muay thai guy yet. I'm sort of expecting him to lose this time. Takeda knows his opponent well, has more actual fighting experience, is more ruthless and determined to win, and has Kenichi's signature moves. Once again, Kenichi's only advantage is being able to take hits really well.

Everyone except the elder and Ma have had major fights recently. Well, Sakaki's last fight was with that assassin so it wasn't that recently. On the other hand, he is guaranteed to fight with the offense oriented karate master who also has a large scar on his face. Akisame has already had his yami fight, Apachai and Sakaki's opponents are set, the Elder will probably fight his son and/or that masked guy he fought before, so that leaves just Ma and Shigure.

Akur0 posted:Uhh, what are you talking about Ma fought Li Tenemon. *Spark's dad* Well, major fight or not I forgot about that one. But it wasn't fought to the end and both parties are still in play, so I'm guessing the two will have a rematch. Of course, that means I have no idea who will fight the jujitsu master now.

Akur0 posted:Besides the only guarenteed fight is Sasaki Vs. Akira, other than that you might stretch and say the Muay Boran guy vs Apachi. They said flat out that Apachai knew the muay thai guy, and there were hints that he might be Apachai's master. When a character says that they are willing to give up their life fighting a specific person odds are they will indeed fight them.

If Ma loses Diego will kill him in front of his daughter, then go on to kill said daughter. It is a bit too early for that sort of thing, I'd say. On the other hand when Ma either wins or ends up in a stalemate the story will continue normally.

Robo Pope posted:Well, yeah, there really hasn't ever been a huge threat from Yami. Ryozanpaku could probably go shut them down whenever they wanted if they were that proactive. The real battle they're having right now is a battle of philosophies, which is why they're staking everything on Kenichi beating the Yomi disciples. Yami has a vast advantage in resources, more lesser members and a larger core group of masters. Also, Shizune was at a disadvantage against a guy who wasn't even a Fist. That implies Yami has multiple masters who just don't make the cut for the inner circle. Was that french assassin a Fist?

Robo Pope posted:If Ma was just barely keeping up with her, then she's one of the more powerful Yami masters we've seen so far. And plus according to the artist women don't get all ripped with added muscle, so there's no real way to tell how strong she is. Her philosophy is all skill and no strength, so that is even more true for her. She lifted Diego using his own muscles to propel him.

Shigure was losing against a guy who wasn't even a fist. Ma, who has taken down a fist, couldn't quite keep up with her. Shigure is the youngest and weakest master there. Fighting non-lethally with a sword is probably a fair bit harder to do than when bare-handed. Well, Apachai's age is pretty ambiguous, but he looked the exact same in that flashback arc.

Robo Pope posted:That right there is a very ominous last page. Maybe this is a setup for Kenichi saving her from her own master to get her to turn to the good side? Of course it would just be him yelling that he will protect her and then whichever Ryozanpaku master gets the next fight would step forward before Kenichi gets his fool rear end killed. Freya is already a student of a martial arts school, though. I sort of doubt the heir of a long standing tradition would go learn to use other weapons. Notice how none of his friends actually practice the same martial art as any of the masters.

Lyon posted:I love this manga, its cliche and over the top but it's awesome. When Kushinada when she tells him their disciple really will disappear this time and Elder just laughs was great and then she goes into some Satsujin Ken philosophy saying the seeds of fear have already been planted. It's such trite "love/good/whatever" can't be understood by "hate/evil" but when Kenichi smiles in that last panel.. love it. I think he will somehow throw the fight, possibly after beating Pollux. He could always just bribe the witness with candy.

Sindai posted:Is it just me or is the translation where the Elder is explaining the new technique practically word soup? I haven't the slightest idea what "the state in which your defense has been isolated rather than subconscious" is supposed to mean. I'm still not sure if Kenichi's new technique uses his defense somehow or that of his opponent. Does he drop his defense, becoming completely offense oriented, or does he sense how his opponent will defend (which is sort of his thing) and use it against them?

Robo Pope posted:Goddamn, what an awesome chapter. I love this manga. RUDE rear end in a top hat! I know it's not, but I almost wish that was the name of the attack he was throwing right then. Also, the whole part about catching the Yami dude by the beard and then just wrecking his poo poo totally made me laugh pretty hard. This has been a pretty sweet story arc from beginning to end. Beard abuse is never a laughing matter.

Well, Sakaki is at best an even match for Kushinada, and possibly at a slight disadvantage considering how she has been played up. Shigure was the underdog when she fought Kagerou before, and then there are all those weapon masters around. Sakaki didn't one-shot them, so I doubt Kenichi would have a chance. I don't think the three of them can win just by fighting. However, if Kagerou remains useless I'm sure Shigure could beat the other three given time.

Lyon posted:I don't think Shigure was ever at a disadvantage when fighting the Yami guy before, so far I don't think we've seen a Yami master who compares to Ryozanpaku's masters fight. He was kicking her rear end for most of the fight. It made a certain amount of sense, actually. Even if their skills were about equal, Shigure would always be at a disadvantage in a sword fight because she wasn't trying to kill him.
