In my head I expect Agito to win this because he seems to have some sort of beef with either Niko or the Niko style, but I kind of want Gensai to win since I never expected him to be such a beast

Yeah but Gensai's reaction was more "Hmm, Niko's student" and Agito's was like "FUCKIN NIKO" and therefore way more interesting

Gensai's reaction to Demonsbane being used by Ohma was I think the first time he's ever been shown to view another fighter with genuine admiration instead of simple respect or disdain.

imo this goes well with Waka vs Ohma fight because it had the feeling.

Gensai vs Agito seems more sinister.

Gensai is getting pummeled but he's going down swinging. He's gonna Devil's Lance with his penis if he needs to, the crazy old man.

Agito needs to eat something big before the fight's done to justify Ohma even having a fighting chance, regardless of the latter doing some bullshit power-up stacking with the Advance and his Niko Style Swiss Army Knife Kit.

Well he's clearly going to eat a loss, so I suppose that would justify it.

how much do you want to bet the "real" Niko had something to do with Agito's upbringing? Which could also explain why he knows some of the Niko style techniques.

Ohma's gonna die and nothing'll stop that aside from some Rogue-like life force stealing so he's gonna go all out since he's at the finals. Gensai, Julius and Wakatsuki were powerful but nothing can compare to the power of Advance X10 Ironbreaker.

Taking from Kure's metaphor, the two Guardian guys with Advance had centipede tattoos.

Ohma also ate a centipede during his training but that's probably unrelated...

I think it's pretty interesting that Erioh, the patriarch of the Kure Clan which is effectively an ancient eugenics project designed to create perfect hired killers, is openly horrified in the flashback.

He's like "man, I might be genetically designed to be a really good murderer and so are all of my children and grandchildren but poo poo this is hosed up".

The Kure's plan is based off "lets gently caress our way into superpowers" of course they would be put off on "infinite death killing until our weapon emerges fully formed."

I mean, they're all trained as assassins from pretty much the word go. Karla is supposed to be one of the deadliest killers in the entire world-renowned clan and she's a teenager, which means she was taught to kill people as a child.

Yeah but the kure also don't kill off members to hone one person, every member from what we see more or less gets attention, love, family... and assassination training.

The sequel probably dealing with the real Niko is a pretty good plot defense to dying

Can I just say I love how the manga has handled fang? He'd be a supreme douchebag in any other manga but he's more of a socially awkward dork that's too into fighting and doesn't know his own strength here. He's killed some people but it wasn't out of malice. Which is a nice touch. Also his loyalty to his boss is adorable. I'd really like to see how fang interacts with the metsudo family

Hopefully Fang gets some Omake time at the end of the volume. They have been real good at expanding the fighters.

The broken fingers in this comic always make me cringe. For some reason it seems to be one of the most common injuries that the author is comfortable writing into fights, too.
