Rereading the old Omega chapters and drat the Worm legit seemed threatening all the way up until Chapter 50, when Ohma and Raian appear to kick their asses in.

Prior to that you have them sneaking in, killing, and replacing fighters / Kengan Association staff. Like, the conversation where Idematsu tells Yamashita that the Fake!Mumon was using a different style of Snake Fist was a big moment where Yamashita realizes he might not even be able to trust the very people around him.

You have Yamashita learning that the Worm has been in contact with both his son and one of Japan's most notorious serial killers.

Then you have Xia Ji sneaking around and having his men steal Ohma's hair so Yamashita ends up with the wrong results.

And then you have one of Xia Ji's dudes kill the guy in charge of conducting tests for would-be fighters and that poo poo is loving brutal, the dude has the top part of his head sliced off via wire. That's loving gruesome poo poo.

And finally you have Xia Ji and his boys ready to kill both Koga and Yamashita.

And then after that Xia Ji and the Worms rapidly start becoming cartoonish evil dudes who never win a loving fight.

to be fair, it was really funny when Xia Ji turned out to be a super badass who was just too much of a lazy cowardly rear end in a top hat to make anything of it, so he was a total pushover unless he was terrified out of his goddamn mind

shame about the entire rest of the Worm, though. I think the worst part is that they all either die at the end of their first fight or are too high-ranking/sociopathic to hang out with anyone, so we don't get any post-fight bromances with them

the post-fight bromances are one of the best things about Kengan and it sucks when we miss out on them because of stupid poo poo like "this guy decided to kill himself in the ring to convince Ryuki that murder is good"

They're bombing everything these days.

Didn't Japan's underground + political powerhouses join forces to create an anti-worm coalition.

And then nothing came of that? Because it turned out that the Worm heads were planning on destroying/discarding the Worm anyways?

What even happened to Xi after he got wrecked by Koga? I legitimately forgot. It's a shame all three of those guys turned out to be jokes. I didn't have any real expectation of them at the end of Asura outside they would be tough opponents leading into Tiger Niko. But I wasn't expecting Eddie to not kill anyone but a geriatric Kure, the other guy to explode himself using the advance, and Xi to turn out to be a literal clown.

Man I miss how the first 50 chapters at least kept the mystery and promise that these guys would do great things.

After all the drama about Ryuki looking like Ohma and people constantly confusing the two in the early chapters. If this connector is just Ohma with a mustache and nobody cottoned up to the fact I'll call bullshit.

they're not going to recognize him because of the mustache. I hope no one brings it up that he's just Ohma again. I don't even want to see a character being like "that's clearly Ohma with a mustache", just carry on with the story lol

I hope he is really proud of his mustache ,and that he changes the style after each fight.Hell, he could even change his fighting style to match each mustache, the comedy possibilities are endless

As an actual development it sucks but whatever, I'm here for the laughs at this point

why didn't they just keep making a punchman manga about people punching each other for progressively more money or prestige or w/e instead of this incredibly stupid bullshit that retroactively soils my memory of Ashura being a top tier punchman story

Basically this. I also like that Shen cares about the Worm about as much as the readers in this thread do. It's almost like an entire organization that sprung up around him and he just begrudgingly "leads" because its more convenient than having a job to pay for all the food he likes to eat.

You know, I find it kinda pleasant that the Connector making buddies with Koga's uncle wasn't just a one-time thing, and that they're just casually hanging out together months later.

Also, lol at Ohma's opponent.

The moment Ohma took that charge head on I started to have violent flashbacks to Baki. I actually liked Kiozan in his Asura appearance because it was clear he had heart and room to grow. Seki brought out a lot of good in that fight and funny enough Kiozan might have been ideal for the Purgatory match since sumo and ring outs are in his wheelhouse. Shame what is about to happen.

This fight wasn't that bad, Kiozan choosing his pride over a more effective move is a good development from his Seki fight.

It's just that I'm tired of the loving Niko style, and the "You were awesome" hyping up someone after they lose is already a meme, stop doing it.
