He's got the FIST EYE but that's extremely small potatoes compared to Wakatsuki being a superhuman muscle tank or the various assassin clans being selectively bred to be able to activate their various veiny super saiyan modes without killing themselves.

he has already found his path, anyway. obviously the way to fully take advantage of the fist eye is to shoot blood out of them like a horned lizard. thanks, fei!

The best thing about cloning Gensai is that it wouldn't yield any results. Gensai doesn't have any explicit genetic traits that make him a monster, he's just practiced and fought for so long while honing himself to a razor's edge (but not Rihito's) that he's the monster of a fighter he is. Cloning him would give you good stock but you'd need to take care in training each and every clone and we know the worm's track record with handling trainees. They'd be lucky to get 1 Gensai if they used their usual methods.

Yan the worm head seems to be banking on Ryuki being the tiger vessel seeing how Naidan sacrificed himself on his orders. That's assuming Tiger vessel = the last/omega child = recipient for guihan or whatever, I'm assuming they overlap since Other Niko and Worm are allies and all.

In next chapter, it turns out that the technique killed Fei, giving Purgatory yet another victory as was their master plan all along.

That was a weirdly lame way to end the match considering half of Fei's blood supply just kinda spontaneously spurted out of his skin.

Depends on how fast and loose you play with things when you're cloning people. Is it making a second body to put in the info you need like with Star Wars clones or Metal Gear? Or are they immediately ready to go and follow orders like Superboy, the many Wolverine clones or Transformers?

This has been a pretty amazing fight honestly.

I'm really excited to hear about the official release. I'm holding out hope that HnG is somehow doing it officially now. It's a longshot, but they were really cagey and weird about their announcement and implied that there was more to come, and they certainly do professional grade work. The current group also seems to be in the loop, so there's definitely something going on behind the scenes that the fan translators are aware of.

Either way, an official release is a long time coming, very exciting news!

As far as we can see, it is making a baby that you then have to raise to adulthood, ie: what real life cloning is.

DO NOT TRUST
My guess is this is going to be ruled a no-contest (possibly because Fei died but Wakatsuki obviously didn't kill him) so we go into the final match with the score tied

The latter. Also the leader of the scan group deleted their reddit account so something's going on

Like AtomikKrab said, we've seen Masaki Hayami and he's his own person and even avoided the same "madness" that his original had because of a more proper upbringing to the point that Hayami Sr. is trying to implant the originals personality using the Kure method. Cloning Gensai just gives you a blank slate with Gensai's body a-la Solidus Snake.

Wakatsuki's one of my favorites (though top favorite will always be my man Jun) cause he's generally a chill and relaxed dude but when he starts fighting the man is brimming with fury. Like there's so much fire in the man, which is especially clear in his fight against Ohma where he's roaring and rushing Ohma and utterly dominating the match, and the man has one of the most murderous glares in Kengan as if he wants nothing more than to break every bone in your body.

Wakatsuki rocks.

I don't think Fei is bad as a character, but I just really think this super mode is stupid.

wakatsuki didnt even break out anything new and took it to a DKO against double god by nothing more than being full of piss, vinegar, and an always-on no-drawback superpower

There's not much to say, Wakatsuki was just born with a (much, much, much) better body. This is why I don't really like the character.

The One True Oden

Wakatsuki rules because he was born with a perfect body for fighting, and learned that that wasn't good enough. His whole character is a repudiation of the idea of "in-born talent", even with a rare disease that makes you stronger than anyone, you still have to put in a lot of effort to actually be the best.

He's a professional fighter, of course he practices fighting. Julius is the hilarious one because refusing to learn anything is so perverse. (Those who are truly strong no techniques is my favorite line in the series because it's so stupid)

Julius is completely great. He is a dumb stupid idiot of a man with his muscle beliefs, but at the same time an absolute genius on making himself as huge and muscled as possible.
