To be fair to Koga that was a liver blow and no amount of burning samurai spirit or martial arts magic will let you no sell an actual direct hit to the liver.

I'm guessing that's what Koga's finishing move will be.

Seriously, Jose's face was fantastic, as was Toyoda's reproachful face.

I love how much of a cocky shitbag the 6th fang is, he's somehow more petulant than Raian was in the annihilation tournament. He's also scared of Toyoda to an extent which goes to show you just how powerful he is.

I also really like how Koga is mellowing out and maturing so quickly. He was consistently the measured voice of reason through that whole conflict, not falling for the provocations like Jose or getting flustered like Kazzy. Even after the liver sucker punch he kept his cool, continuing to defuse the situation and taking notes of how effective the liver shot was. It's similar to Ohma's arc but he's way better with people. I hope he gets to land a liver shot on big rear end in a top hat later down the line.

Clearly he understood the real lesson of Kengan Asura, and intends to win by making friends with the all the competitors before fighting them.

Leaving a company for another one that offers better benefits is not a bad thing????

I believe there's a bit of a cultural dissonance with this. Even if it's ultimately your own life, if you immediately move away from the person/company/country that has taken care of your professional upbringing you'll be seen as a piece of poo poo in many places.

Doesn't really apply when the profession you're moving away from is death matches.

I imagine Gaolang finds it soothing to spend time with someone who never talks, after having spent a lifetime associating with Saw Paing.

Okubo and Agito hanging out really needs to happen more.

And I loving love the quartet.

Though I feel like 2 of the comics in particular can't work within the Kengan Ashura canon.

I don't think there's anything to this aside from that Cosmo looks like a matsutake mushroom but gay connotations could certainly be made.

Koga... :(

Brought To You By

I don't care what anyone says, I'm hyped for what Akoya is going to do next.
So it seems like the company set up to fight Ryuki is one that's more heavily been infiltrated by the Worms. Meanwhile Koga has his own match coming up but just got completly put off balance by Ryuki shattering their bromance in one afternoon. And Akoya is about to conduct Justice on Ryuuki. And I actually have no doubt that Akoya of all people can take down Ryuki given the guy was an absolute monster in the tournament and really only didn't make it farther because Cosmo had plot armor.

but the real takeaway from all this is Worm is really dumb. If you're going to go through the labor of incredibly elaborate cosmetic surgery, infiltrating multiple businesses and possibly doing this on a national level, all for some unknown goal. Why would you leave/give your members identifying tattoos? Do you want your consipracy to be uncovered? Because that's how your conspiracy gets uncovered. Would be real telling if a bunch of bodies started showing up with DNA that doesn't match the records and everyone seems to like bugs too

Is he cold blooded? That other man attacked him after trailing him for a while. I would say its fair play at that point.
