I actually wouldn't be shocked if more than a scant few people from the first ended up on team Kengan.
Many probably have better things to do or are not associated with it anymore.

Like Jun and the big mountain kid are back into pro wrestling, the sumo guy is back at sumo, murder cop probably is back to being murder cop, etc

Jun would do it I bet.

Cosmo is in I am sure, he has to be. Probably also see Wakatsuki

I wonder if Wakatsuki retired, though, he's got only one eye and his old Agito injury.

He deserves to go to the glue factory for stealing wins off more interesting characters every round of the tournament.

maybe the cop will get murdered by joining purgatory and going up against a kengan fighter

Oh sweeeet. This saga reminds me of Shamo, another fight manga that is more brutal. They also had a similar head to head comp between white and black karate groups (essentially underground vs organised). Now that I think about it, I think the authors of Kengan are probably fans of Shamo.

Other way around, Murder Cop Bastard is going to join the P and will get his rear end handed to him by Gensai. He won't kill him, just break his spirit and mind.

Can you kill in Purgatory? I know in Kengan its w/e and then their is that one fight thing that allows weapons

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
My random guesses for fighters would be:

Cosmo
Fang or the runner up fang guy
Dudley
Rihito
Inaba
Ohmalike
New guy
Sawada
The fast guy who lost to Gensai
Kono?
Karla? Is it even possible?
Gaolang seems too popular to not add but for some reason he seems like a weird fit

That would cover most of the relationships and major characters from part 1 besides Wakatsuki, who is boring and will probably be savaged by a major antagonist before anything happens. Timeskip means anyone's game besides Nezu, because in shonen marriage = written out of the comic.

And muteba possibly on the other side.

The main fighters I want to see are:
Dudley (duh)
Haruo (has a ton of untapped potential; not only was he physically worse off than he could be, but he also has the whole "hunter" angle to exploit in some goofy/entertaining way)
Rihito (similar thing with untapped potential; he's explicitly stated to have good combat sense, and I think he'd benefit from more martial arts experience)
Raian (wasn't using full potential, and he's likely to "grow up" and realize he should also use his Kure techniques alongside his raw power)
Okubo (I just like him, and I think that he might improve through more experience fighting Kengan-level fighters)

Fighters who I don't think should or will show up (as main fighters anyways):
Kaneda (I really like Kaneda, but he kinda learned the lesson that a talented physique is necessary to compete at the level of Kengan matches)
Sawada (out of his league)
Inaba (also out of his league; Ohma beat him easily with the Advance, which other fighters were able to deal with, and his physique means he pretty much has to rely on his gimmicks)
Rei (I don't dislike him like a lot of the rest of the thread, but I don't see much possibility of growth for him either)
Gozo (his only gimmick is his physique, which is inferior to others like Wakatsuki who also have actual fighter skills)


Plutonis posted:

Is his eye injury permanent? I was under the impression it may have just been a fixable detached retina or something (I think those can be fixed sometimes?). Though even if it was fixed, I imagine he'd have to avoid fighting or else risk (if not outright guarantee) going permanently blind in that eye.

Yeah, I wanna see the dudes who couldn't make it far get their shot at proving themselves. Haruo most of all.

He's definitely gonna show up to watch Rihito.

B-but not as his master, or anything. Just because he's interested in watching his opponent fight, yeah, that's all it is.

They mentioned the dark web in chapter 0 or w/e so there's a chance that has something to do with it. Maybe he made bitcoin or something

I'm curious if Yamashita's fight sense was passed down to his kids at all, cause if so there's a chance that the kid that works in construction could get beefy...

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Honestly, animating Kengan in 2D with the same level of quality and intensity of Daromeon's art would require really top-level talents and a whole load of budget that they might not necessarily have.

It still looks fine so far, doesn't look as stiff or stilted as other 3D animes I've seen, so I'm reserving judgment until we see the actual episodes come out.

Yeah that's a fair point. It's a stark contrast from the very vivid and eye-catching covers. Maybe they just chose a brownish/muted palette for the trailer to make it seem "mature"? One can hope
