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

I think it's more the "being totally nonchalant about viciously killing someone" than the killing itself.

Yeah, if you're Koga, even if you assume that Ryuki is 100% justified in painting this guy across the wall, the fact remains that an entirely spotless, 100% not-strained Ryuki is happily grinning and completely unaffected by someone dead horribly at his feet. That's "whoa this dude is a psychopath" territory.

So now we've seen 2 or possibly 3 of the evil worm guys from their meeting in the epilogue of Ashura. I'm pretty sure Edward Wu was one of them, now we've seen this new guy with the crazy hair who was at the meeting, and the identity of the third hooded guy is still a mystery. It could be Gaoh, but the most likely candidates are Adam Dudley, Jerry Tyson, or Kazzy himself.

Because rule of cool, "Hey wouldn't it be cool if we all had matching tattoos?" "gently caress yeah bro pound it"

I might be imagining it but I thought the tattoo was important for super-secret Advance technique the worm guys use. I'm probably wrong.

tag team of Ryuki + Koga next chapter?? That worm dude watching the TV requested backup for his (now dead) student. Or maybe the dude will arrive late since he didn’t seem that motivated to come from the phone conversation. It’d help clear up Koga’s misunderstandings and provide some more backstory about the Worm and Ryuki’s past. Anything to protect their beautiful friendship.

Also my bet is on Akoya. I’ve always wanted to see how Ohma would’ve fared against Akoya. How do you handle a guy who’s the same size as Seki, has super human reaction time which would make it super difficult to use redirection/indestructible katas, and is a fanatical murderer without being the King of Bullshit Cosmo?

Not gonna lie, I didn't expect to see someone have a perfectly sensible and ordinary reaction to finding a dead body and having their friend who was standing nearby go "oh yeah, I totally killed him, was like squashing a bug, lol" in Kengan Ashura manga out of all places.

Wasn't cloak guy hanging out with these two nerds at the end of Ashura and talking about Ohma?

Which doesn't actually disqualify him based on Ohma's memory problems I guess.

Ohma mentioned himself that he was following the guy to beat him and get his spot so he could find the guy who killed his master.

Ohma and Ryuki are going to turn out to be half brothers and both are going to be related to cloak guy. Either that or we'really going full MGS and it's clones. Not going to tackle who got the dominant genes.

I get the feeling it's supposed to be confusing, considering how much of it is about identity theft and maybe even bodyswapping or whatever
