There’s been allusion to a whole other level of fights by several characters now. The one that stands out to me the most was Sen’s most recent fight

Gaolang hasn’t had his backstory reveal yet, but so far he has been presented as a top tier fighter. If Kaneda wins it’s gotta be through some bullshit “I already know what you’re going to do” premonition. Which was foreshadowed in the fight with icy

I think Ohma is going to win but severely injury himself in his next match. I assume he’ll be on the ropes and master one of the Niko techniques that he says he sucks at and it’ll double as a backstory reveal

Raian is just way too overconfident to make it out of this unscathed

this is the final battle surely

Yeah I’m on this boat. I feel like Akito is going to crush Gaolang then get iced by Setsuna in an upset. We have to assume Setsuna is at least as strong as Niko before he died. Who, so far, seems to have been portrayed as barely trying in the flashbacks

I have also not read any raws

he'd be facing Sen before Setsuna if he doesn't defect as it currently stands

I assumed something will happen to Sen and it’ll be presumed he’s flaking again. This would cost the Nogi group a lot of cred and could dove tail into the meta plot line going on with the island invasion

Could be the cost that mysterious figure is alluding to is Ohma’s memories. Maybe there’s some sort of mind control / losing your mind to it aspect. Hopefully Kazzy snaps him out of it before going over the edge

That Setsuna reveal: leads me to believe there’s something wrong with the backstory we’ve been told thus far. When would Setsuna have been defeated by Ohma? There’s also the fact that shadow figure seems against Niko. So this may be a proxy war situation

Gaolong sees Julius as a good fighter which surprised me. Guess that means he has some technique buried within his roids.

Yeah but Wakatsuki has been setup as a contender to take on Agito. Which feels like he's mid-boss territory in terms of ability

poo poo, either of them would be a problem for the Fang, if you think about it. Kiryu's spin technique and how he gets behind people seem pretty advanced and I don't know if you can totally copy them by just seeing it in the ring a couple times. And Gensai's hands are so well tempered that I doubt the Fang could stab like that if he wanted to.

Those are gonna be some wild fights before the Fang demolishes them.

I reread these chapters and I’m mad hyped for that match now
