Kengan setting up a guy to lose with death flags only to show that, no, he’s actually very strong and then wins is a magic trick that I fall for every time

Kengan just takes realistic fighting concepts (mostly) and stretches them until they look Anime enough. It's kinda like Ippo but Ippo tends to be even more conservative (except for Mogli).

Sliding scale of realism to batshit insane fighting manga from Ippo to DBZ.

Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru is probably the most realistic I've seen and Sakigake! Otokojuku is probably the least. I'd highly recommend the latter if you like insane martial arts and don't mind heavy Japanese nationalism.

Otokojuku and its spinoffs pwn and honestly thr nationalism on some parts was so over the top that it might as well be parody.

Minoru feels almost too realistic where everyone's limbs turn purple from a single side kick. The sleazy management parts feel pretty genuine.

Minoru has a nice down-to-earth slice of life vibe, but also has some real bad homophobia and transphobia. Kinda soured me on the whole thing.

How about Minoru getting a powerup from constantly having to escape his roommate's attempts to rape him? I was thinking about making a youtube video about anime characters who shouldn't have been forgiven and Pedro is definitely going into it.

Teppu doesn't fit into the Ippo - Baki scale because it's too realistic.

otokojuku was always supposed to be a parody of ultra-masculine japanese nationalism. that's the basic premise!

All rounder meguru is definitely one of the most realistic I've read. I just wish it updated more than once in a blue moon.

JosephWongKS posted:Kazzy is going to somehow become one of the Kengan Association's representative fighters for the tournament. Well sure, why else would he keep cultivating Koga? Once Kazzy completes the dark ritual to steal his youth and martial prowess, he'll be unstoppable. For real, though, everyone else already said it but: I love that nothing in this is a foregone conclusion. It breaks expectations at every turn in a way that is so refreshing! There's a lot of suspense in every match. Also: ![]() Nice touch having Kazzy, known kinetic vision haver, be taken in completely by the technique that preys on a person's ability to read their opponents moves. Also Koga for some reason. No reason to read too much into that one.

I thought it's been strongly hinted that Koga has a very similar ability to King Kazzy.

The guy's actually the secretary, he just like dressing up super cool and standing in badass posses but he actually cant fight at all. The lady with the clipboard is Hanufasa style serial murderer that uses nails or poo poo. The kengan matches have all been men, would we ever see a lady enter the stage?
