Moving at the speed of death.


Agreed but it feels like they've decided that ladies don't fight on screen in this comic.

Unless I totally forgot a scene somewhere.

After Muteba/Meguro and Cosmo/Akoya, it's probably for the best that women don't fight too much in this series

So will Karla be head over heels for ryuki, or be put off by the resemblance?

She's probably about the same age as him, at least. Ohma was over ten years older (probably, I don't think he has a confirmed age but it's late twenties)

I wonder if the mystery fighter is Bando. He seems like the most likely candidate for a name change.

That was an excellent conclusion to the matchup and I loved it! Nobody in this thread posted that they were rooting for the loser haha, definitely not this poster posting now at least, nope nope nope.

Though seriously, I love this Mortal Kombat FRIENDSHIP victory

I liked that his finisher was a simple parry into razors edge, felt like a very kuroki gensai type move. God drat did he look badass at the end there.

Indeed

Rihito could have kept his hand open and ripped of mokichi's face if he had actually finished that move.

I'm shocked that the return of Kuroki Gensai wasn't him fighting a demon or something.

My money's on Kiryu Setsuna showing up again.

I feel like Kokuro’s defeat wouldn’t be that clean if it was Bando or Setsuna. Maybe Hatsumi Sen? But then I’d think Kaede would look more happy.

Bando's technique could definitely catch him off guard. He isn't familiar with the annihilation tournament fighters as shown in his fight with ryuki so he wouldn't know about the stretchy arms. Setsuna probably would have powered up by now as well so he could do it too, but I feel like his body would be way more hosed up if he got hit by the twister.

Yeah I mean clean in the sense that Kokuro’s body doesn’t have any noticeable wounds. I suppose it’s possible Bando or Setsuna have mellowed out and beat him without injuring him.

Rei, maybe. Rino didn't want him to fight, so he shouldn't be there.

Kokuro doesn't look like he has any severe wounds, and his expression makes it seem like he was caught off guard, which fits Rei's speedy style and is similar to how Nezumi went out.

Has, The Ultimate Jobber, Kuroki Gensai, been in any omakes so far? I don't remember him being in any but my memory is garbage anyway.

why would the reigning champion be a jobber? that's the exact opposite meaning.

I think the joke is that everyone kept on assuming Kuroki would job, to Rihito (Ohma's first serious opponent), to Setsuna (Ohma's loving rival), to Rei (who got tons of focus), to Agito (who manhandled Ohma and otherwise came off looking like the final boss) or to Ohma (the main character) but he just kept winning instead of losing.

His jobber score was so high that it caused an overflow stack error and resulted in him becoming the Champion. Thus, Ultimate Jobber.

After he beat Setsuna I don’t think anyone was expecting him to lose against Rei, but yeah pretty much.

This guy's basically got it. His jobber level is so powerful that everyone he fights loses instead.

It's been 22 years since Meguro and Toyo got together. New Meguro is 21 years old and by all rights isn't insane and clearly can't be the guy who was pronounced dead and had his brain damaged even more and his neck broken. So I suspect we have a cloning situation on our hands as some kind of perfected worm operation because Gaoh being so similar in appearance to Ohma has always stuck out and now we have another kid who looks the same as a dead person.
