Kazuo and his CEO are better developed characters so I think they'll win. And then their next opponent will beat their strategy.

RIP Rihito when he goes up against Setsuna in the 2nd round. He's gonna get murdered to get to Ohma. So for the semi-finals I think Ohma(top left bracket), Setsuna(top right bracket), and Fang(bottom right bracket) are a given but I have no idea who's gonna win the bottom left.

Also keep in mind these predictions only work if the tournament goes as planned. We've still got Hassad and Medicine Man as wild cards afterall.

Takeshi was said earlier to be the only fighter that could go toe-to-toe with Fang so yeah he's very strong. He's gonna be dunked by Julius to show that Julius is a real threat though.

I guess the whole breathing analysis thing is so Akoya can beat his opponent's without killing them?

That's someone else. You'll know him when you see him, IIRC he's still wearing prison stripes.

Hassad wasn't beaten by Ohma, he got wrecked by the bodyguards.

Yeah I was tempted so I "read" through the raws too. I look forward to reading the translated versions in 2019.

As mentioned earlier in the manga there are definitely other fighting leagues in Japan/the world though.

Yeah, there are some unexpected wins/losses. I'll say that no one in this thread has correctly predicted every fight.

Ytlaya posted:I wonder how Inaba would fair against a lot of the other fighters. I imagine that, at the very least, the strength based ones would be a big problem for him. Yeah with how specific his gimmick is he'd have a lot of trouble with certain fighters.

The Lord of Hats posted:For the people who've read the raws: is Nezu Mazami (Mickey Mouse guy) as amazing as I hope he is? He's not bad but he gets overshadowed by pretty much everyone else.

where the red fern gropes posted:im just wondering why the fang is matched against someone who was not placed last Yeah if you look at the order in the lottery they were like #6 so they chose that spot because they wanted to fight Fang. vvv We're over 100 chapters behind.

By the way that was the last chapter of volume 8 so we'll probably get the omake next which is about Inaba and his CEO when they were kids.

Venuz Patrol posted:based on mr ballet caving his skull in earlier, my guess is that judoman has a rare genetic defect and his brain is actually in his stomach or something Yeah no, this ain't Baki. There's weird medical anomalies but nothing as extreme as that.

AtomikKrab posted:The real question as well is who are the other fighters owned by Toyo power scarface, We know of 3 and what matches they are/were supposed to be in. We therefore have 3 more hiding in the second side of the bracket. There is one more fight in the left bracket though.

You probably shouldn't question how unrealistic some of the injuries(and healing from them) in Kengan Asura are.

The 2nd bracket definitely has the more interesting fights, yeah.

There's another grudge match: Naoya vs Agito(aka Fang). Muji TV had 4th(iirc) choice for the bracket but they chose the "worst" spot.

Pretty much all the fighters in the 2nd bracket have some gimmick that hasn't been revealed yet so the matches are mostly unpredictable.

I really hope the chapters start getting pumped out more often. At the rate we're going it'll take 2 years to catch up the raws(which are only in the quarterfinals). I guess this manga is pretty wordy so it makes some sense why they take so long to come out.

If it's a character from Kengan Asura that means potential spoilers though. So be careful if you care about that. EDIT: It's 99% Julius EDIT2: Wait doesn't Danberu take place before the tournament anyway? RatHat fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Sep 29, 2017 |

Sawada what's wrong with your faaaaacetweet my meat posted:Honestly, after saving Mokichi's life, tending to all the wounded, saving Sawada's leg, the creepy dissection doctor is pretty consistently the least evil character in the manga. When he was introduced wasn't he looking at a photo album of all his patients that had died? RatHat fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Sep 30, 2017 |
