Kengan is really consistent with the fact that the most badass thing you can do is master the basics.

I mean, Kengan's always made the point that the most efficient things are simple in theory, but hard to actually pull of in practice. Back in KA when Gensai was wailing on Agito, the narration stated that mastering powerful techniques is not enough, but using the right technique at the right moment is pretty much the ideal of all martial arts, which Kuroki has successfully put into practice. Which he then demonstrated by countering Agito's one-hit kill Fa Jin Dragon shot with... ...a wristlock.

RareAcumen posted:And it still broke Gensai's hand to redirect an attack with that much power as well. Well, it damaged the already broken fingers even further and fractured the last intact digit in that hand, his thumb. His right hand was already hosed up, that's why he used it instead of his left to take the brunt of Dragon shot. Of course, Gensai being Gensai, he still used his right hand to punch the poo poo out of Agito after that. Same thing in his match against Ohma, he blocked the Demonsbane counter punch with his hosed up right hand and delivered the final blow with his intact left, which left his right arm hanging limp when Ohma hit the ground. Bushmeister posted:"The Dragon Misfires" is one of my top 5 all time favorite pages/panels in Kengan It is incredible. And it is soon followed by: "Even with his brain concussed, even with his hand destroyed, the Emperor would not die. The Fang of Metsudo would not stop. Kanoh Agito would not falter."

I wonder how the story is going to keep this consistent, since Rihito being able to solidly beat Saw Paing should put him in the absolute top tier of fighters. Especially after Saw Paing beat Cosmo (someone else who I'd consider among the stronger contenders), which was probably the most genuinely unexpected fight outcome in Omega so far. It'll definitely feel like bullshit if Rihito (who is actually acknowledged as a master of sorts by Gensai himself now) loses to Ryuki (is that who he's fighting next? can't remember). The only way I'll accept such an outcome is if Ryuki outright cheats in some way.

There doesnt have to be an out. In KA Cosmo was supposed to have grown into being much more savage and driven during the Akoya+Ohma fights. Then two years later he's back to losing as the nice guy who hesitates too much. Stuff just happens in this series.

Cosmo went for moves that would outright cripple Saw Paing for life without giving a gently caress and would have cleanly won if Saw Paing didn't pull out that insane Hammer of Burma reversal, which blindsided everyone, including the audience. Where the hell are you getting "Cosmo lost because he was nice guy who hesitated too much" from?

Fair enough! Funnily enough, Saw Paing lost off-screen to Mokichi Robinson out of all people, so I agree that trying to establish power ranking based on who lost to who is fool's errand.

Rihito Was always pointed out as being a top tier contender and talent based on his sheer physical abilities, him blocking the HAMMER OF BURMA with his fingers is not something he trained for, he can literally just do it. Rihito is Frieza after training now.

Regardless of where he stands relative to Saw Paing (who is also pretty top tier now, having beaten post-time-skip Cosmo - they're both basically at the highest level aside from people like Gensai or Agito) it's hard to imagine any plausible way of Ryuki beating him. As much as I like Adam, he isn't exactly a top-tier fighter, and Ryuki still had to rely on bullshit to win against him.

If Ryuki goes into the fight trying to literally murder Rihito from the jump, it could catch Rihito off guard. Ryuki literally just had his toxic "ah, I must be a true ruthless murderer" attitude confirmed with the Adam fight while Rihito just had a nice fair contest between fellow competitors and fighting-as-a-sport enthusiasts.

So instead of having one one-trick pony style that doesn't really work on anyone who roughly knows how it works, he now has two one-trick pony styles that don't really work on anyone who roughly knows how they work. Gensai is shaking his head in disappointment and focusing on his beer.

It would be cool if to counter Ryuki, Koga incorporated some Lucha from Jose or something else.

I like how everyone knows Gaoh is explicitly trying to kill his opponents but they refuse to do anything about it unless someone actually dies. Kengan rules at their finest.

A lot of the people who are skilled enough to realize that Ryuki has switched from "fight mode" to "murder mode" are also old Kengan hands who are used to death fights and also likely view the 1v1 as sacrosanct unless someone actually starts cheating outright.
