Looks like Macchio is going to enter the Kengan tournament after all. Or at least a Kengan match.

Rihito's fingers can tear flesh, but his opponent's fingers can carve rock / concrete. Rihito's so screwed.

one thing that sucks with kengan asura is that there's barely any upsets. The strongest guy with the biggest deadliest techniques wins.

The suspense arises from that we don't always know who is "the strongest guy with the biggest deadliest technique" in a given match-up.

where the red fern gropes posted:


don't look for hidden meanings, just take it completely at face value

the guy nogi hired is a literal janitor

Makes sense. Why would Nogi pay extra for an actual combat-trained mercenary when all he needs is someone to get bashed up by Yoshitake's lackeys? An actual literal janitor at a cut-rate fee would serve just as well for this. Nogi's a shrewd businessman - he's not going to pay more than what he needs for the purpose he has in mind.

Wakatsuki's (and his CEO's) surprisingly heartwarming back-story is up - https://mangadex.org/chapter/432422/1

BTW I do wonder what happened to Erioh since he says he left the Kure Clan but he eventually becomes the patriarch and why he stopped being Metsudo's Fang. I guess that's for part two of that mini arc?

I imagine that in a clan of assassins, one becomes the top honcho by assassinating the previous / current top honchos until there is no one left to oppose you being the new top honcho.

Suspicious Lump posted:

Does this mean you can poach a fighter, offer them $$$ and pull them out of the match, forcing the other company to either rely on a lovely fighter or forfeit? The rule is for Matsuda more than anyone else, he has some super strong "Fangs" and if Agito takes too much damage he can always sub a new Fang in.

You can even poach a fighter that's stronger than your original fighter and (a) force the other company to use a worse fighter or forfeit and (b) get a stronger fighter for yourself for the remaining rounds.

My take on which fighters could possibly switch CEOs in the next round, based on observed personality traits and known personal allegiances (or lack thereof) to their current CEOs:

Imai Cosmo (Grappler Boy) – Close buddy with his CEO, as shown in his backstory chapter. Not gonna flip.

Akoya Seishu (Vigilante Cop) – Lovers with his CEO (albeit an abusive relationship). Not gonna flip.

Kure Raian (Psycho Killer) – A mercenary working for pay, no personal allegiance to his CEO, personally nutso, AND his clan is spying on the shadow boss of his employer. Highest chance of flipping.

Tokita Ohma (Sidekick of the Protagonist) – There’s no way that anyone could even contemplate leaving the employment of Kazzy the Charismatic Legend.

Wakatsuki Takeshi (Concrete Puncher) - Close buddy with his CEO, as shown in his backstory chapter. Not gonna flip.

Julius Reinhold (Big German Dude) – Narratively the trump card of the Toyo CEO. Not gonna flip.

Muteba Gizenga (African Daredevil) - A mercenary working for pay and no personal allegiance to his CEO. Medium chance of flipping.

Sekibayashi Jun (HELL’S ANGEL) – Not in a million years is Good Boy Sekibayashi gonna flip.

Yoroizuka Saw Paing (Most Hot-Blooded Man in the World) – Too pure-hearted and HOT-BLOODED to ever flip.

Mikazuchi Rei (Lightning Boy) – Completely lovestruck with his CEO. Not gonna flip.

Kuroki Gensai (RIP Rihito) – The fighter whose background is most shrouded in mystery, and we’ve never seen him and his CEO together onscreen or seen them share any bonding moments. Medium chance of flipping.

Kiryu Setsuna (Giant Boner for Ohma) – Only cares about fighting / loving Ohma. Would flip if it brings him to the other side of the bracket earlier and lets him fight / gently caress Ohma faster.

Hatsumi Sen (Womaniser) – ALREADY THINKING ABOUT FLIPPING IN THIS VERY CHAPTER. High chance of flipping.

Bando Yohei (Mr Wriggles) – Waiting to die.

Gaolang Wongsawat (Boxer Man) – No personal allegiance to his CEO, and only loyal to King Rama. Could flip if someone cuts a deal with Rama and Rama orders Gaolang to flip.

Kanoh Agito (THE FANG OF METSUDO) – Too pure and simple-minded (due to complete focus and obsession on fighting) to think about flipping. Not gonna flip.
