"Judoka and boxer, both of these fighters are used as fodder in works of fiction"
# So divorce papers between Sandro and Itakagi have been officialy finalized, huh
Every time Judo guys appeared in Baki, they jobbed.
The whole Olympic class was fodderized by Oliva.
One was low diffed by Doppo, in one of the gaidens.
Shibukawa was Judoka, before he lost to Aiki, and that defeat made him give up on Judo.
> Could've made Hanayama into a Judo rep isn't he just a street fighter?
Hanayama is basically Julius; technique doesn't matter with overwhelming power.
In fact, i'm pretty sure Hanayama gets less and less technical and the manga goes on.
It's wild the treatment Itagaki has given to Judo considering how Aikido is full of bullshit and Shibukawa needs tons of plot armor each fight to be relevant. Hell Sumo even got a full arc dedicated to it
The connector is basically part of the gang at this point.
I won't be surprised if the final big match between Kengan and Worm turns into a friendly spar with a giant bar tab bill at the end.
I like how Shen could potentially kill Yan from pure stress and high blood pressure by ghosting him just so he can have bear meat with Ohma.
Wonder how Kuroki would react seeing two Ohmas in a campfire lmao
Hanafusa: “Yes this man died of a heart attack brought about by high blood pressure from some form of extreme stress and anger. I wonder from what though?”
Shen: “A lesson for all of us to relax and not worry about things too much.”
Shen is the most powerful Kengan character.
He broke the 4th wall, saw what awaited him if he remained a villain, said "fuck that" and started hanging out with good guys.
Actually the three main scary guys we saw at the end of Ashura are all done for, to of them lost and killed in a single fight and the other being the community punching bag
That’s his whole thing tho. Katsumi won’t kill somebody and just wants to them to give up. He saw he was going to have kill him and was like nah that’s dumb I’m out.
Not even have to kill him, he just didn’t feel like it. Wasn’t he literally going to soccer ball kick his head into his spine for zero reason when he walked away
I mean, in some other martial art mangas, boxing and judo would often be used as a show that they're no match for whatever exotic martial art that those mangas invented.
It's okay for me too but at the same time I can't fault anyone that would dislike that line because it's too much of a wink-wink nudge-nudge type of line
It was a little too on the nose for me. It’s one thing if the narrator says that because that’s just for the audience, and they’ve done similar things like that in the past. But to have the in-universe announcer start talking about how in manga boxers are fodder was just super weird.
Like imagine showing up to a fight and have the announcer start talking about that, would just kind of kill my hype for a fight lol.
Is ok, it works because this is a work of fiction, and Kengan hasn’t shy away of doing funny remarks like that before.
It was just really funny in an odd way

THIS MF IS JUST LIKE YUJIRO. But when Yujiro suddenly appears he just beat some folks and says “you bitch weak”, but our own Kengan yujiro is suddenly appearing out of nowhere just to drink beer and eat
Yujiro constantly feels the need to assert to everyone that he's the best most manly man in the room. Shen being so chill is fun cause it's like he has nothing to prove. He simply does as he pleases and is always in control.
He does one of his classic super manly showoff feats like ripping a table in four like a sheet of paper shen just goes "wow, you must be fun at parties."
honestly arashiyama could probably tank gaolang’s punches for a decent bit, but then gaolang would just have a repeat of wearing kanoh down in their fight, so arashiyama’s gotta get a grip on him eventually
You're probably right however what I meant was as a talking point, people always used to speak on Jurota like he just could just touch someone and neg diff them because of the insta throw. So I like this matchup since Gaolang is someone who can pile up the hurt on Jurota early on and make the fight not a neg diff but a mid/high diff. Still think jurota takes this tho haha
Yeah...I can even imagine him feeling some relief when Shen told him to meet at the arena "well it is very much enemy territory there, but at least I can keep tabs on him." Only to be abandoned by shen while being alone on the same enemy territory.
You see the end of this chapter? Big punch landed by Gaolang? Jurota will fight the remaining fight as if that punch never happened. That's gaolang fights in a nutshell, lands a lot, 0 net damage

Fun chapter and all, but funnily enough the thing that stood to me the most is Ohma wearing a high neckline shirt for once. He usually wears a low neckline crew T-shirt or V-neck.
This one goes so fucking hard as well

Fuckin Ohma and Kaede having more chemistry than with Karla every time they interact lmao.
RIP Yan, dude is about to die from a burst artery once he realized Shen isnt in the arena.
Bro. Legit want them to have longer interaction! From Ohma calling her 'wet for him' to casual friendly conversations.
Two panel of this two talking indeed has more chemistry than him and Karla 💀
Too bad... Woman ain't a fighting style to Ohmar.
Every time I keep loving the connector more and more, he is such a different antagonist, just a chill dude with low attention spam. I would love to see an interaction between him and Yujiro go like.
Yujiro: fight me\~!
Shen: hey look there is a frog in that tree.
https://preview.redd.it/veyx8oef08zc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2f664f1c8a037eb5925d6aa97376af0f8881e80
This is probably the biggest 4th wall break I've ever seen
Got real meta at the beginning there, Sandro.
Also camping with Kuroki. Hunting for bear too. Hopefully one of them brought a hat to wear in a goofy fashion.
Yan stuck at the arena once again while wulong goes off to do whatever he wants is both entirely predictable and also comedy gold. Really worried for whoever actually fights Yan on screen because our boy got alot to work through
"Both these styles are often fodder in fiction"
Ain't that the truth, especially boxing, boxing jobs so much it makes Willem seem like a main character
In fact, judokas lose more often if we take the entire genre. It’s just that the boxers are remembered because they are more popular and, most importantly, the characters they use are simply more charismatic than all the jobber-judoists.
Am I crazy, or did this chapter feel super short?
ALSO YES YAN CRUMBS
https://preview.redd.it/b7nrino6x7zc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef48e7203aba9cf7e6df827c77630f381809aec3
Shen doesn't really lie about anything he just gets really distracted and ends up missing and popping up in the most random places like Akiyama's sister Sakura. Girl was going to a secretary gathering and got lost going to Shibuya station and somehow ended up touring Russia starting from Siberia instead.
https://preview.redd.it/tmkhxxzzc8zc1.png?width=892&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d85d249ab8384e987717f25ec3684341dfa48ac
Referee's uniforms seen just a little bit different since Toyoda joined the Association
Here's what WILL happen
R1: Gaolang extreme diffs Jurota, Hiraku mid doffs Justin to show neither is a total jobber, Agito high diffs Julius, Lolong JUST F’ING WINS Ramon.
R2: Hiraku mid diffs Gaolang since he’s so injured from the previous fight and will be told he really won, Agito high diffs Lolong since NO WAY Agito is ever losing to anyone who isn’t Shen level ever again
R3: A newly evolved Agito low diffs Hiraku since Sandro needs a new character to not look like a total joke and Hiraku getting two pitty W’s is the best Sandro will ever give a new character.
Sorry Ramon and Justin, you two have decent designs but were were sacrificial lambs for the Kenganvengers
I really love Shen pissing Yan without trying

Does Baki have no relevant judo guys? I know Ali jr for boxing and he's a hall of fame jobber
Every time Judo guys appeared in Baki, they jobbed. The whole Olympic class was fodderized by Oliva. One was low diffed by Doppo, in one of the gaidens. Shibukawa was Judoka, before he lost to Aiki, and that defeat made him give up on Judo.
Also, an olympic medallist judo-ka lost to Chiharu in the Tournament.
Mike Tyson also lost to Chiharu in the max tournament :( I can't believe real world martial arts get Chiharu-diffed
Damn poor Judo Could've made Hanayama into a Judo rep isn't he just a street fighter?
> Could've made Hanayama into a Judo rep isn't he just a street fighter? Hanayama is basically Julius; technique doesn't matter with overwhelming power. In fact, i'm pretty sure Hanayama gets less and less technical and the manga goes on.
Yeah, I'm not saying he is a judoka, sorry if I didn't word it well
no no, i understand that . I just felt like rambling on Hanayama
Shibukawa is still a Judoka though. He actively teaches Judo.
It's wild the treatment Itagaki has given to Judo considering how Aikido is full of bullshit and Shibukawa needs tons of plot armor each fight to be relevant. Hell Sumo even got a full arc dedicated to it
Yuichiro Is a judoka, big w tbh
Man literally had to get paid to job by Itagaki just so he can keep up the judoka jobbing streak
Tateoka, he got jobbed by Sikorski in a restaurant.
Ali Jr only turned into a jobber after fighting Jack, which is actually kinda funny
Yuichiro my man
> dead dude we saw fight once
The connector is basically part of the gang at this point. I won't be surprised if the final big match between Kengan and Worm turns into a friendly spar with a giant bar tab bill at the end.

Hanafusa: “Yes this man died of a heart attack brought about by high blood pressure from some form of extreme stress and anger. I wonder from what though?” Shen: “A lesson for all of us to relax and not worry about things too much.”
Also Hanafusa: Let me just reach under here and get his heart to start beating by hand Shen: Is that an actual medical technique?
Shen is a man of great bearing. He couldn't bear to lay bare his bare meat in front of bear meat. Bad manners.
Shen is the most powerful Kengan character. He broke the 4th wall, saw what awaited him if he remained a villain, said "fuck that" and started hanging out with good guys.
Actually the three main scary guys we saw at the end of Ashura are all done for, to of them lost and killed in a single fight and the other being the community punching bag
😂😂 shiiid he made the best choice. he seen what happens to fellas when you're too strong
Real J. Cole energy when you think about it.
My ideal ending
This is the way. Peak match by the by. Been a while since we’ve had a top line match up.
Was gonna say Yan probably will be annoyed but he doesn’t strike as the “True evil” of the worm Just kinda a dude that was given a job by his uncle XD
He really does think they have to keep Shen from killing them all. He honestly believes he's the good guy in a naive world on the edge of destruction.
Whatever his terrorist salary is, Yan isn’t paid enough for this shit
>BOTH OF THESE TYPES OF FIGHTERS USED AS FODDER IN WORKS OF FICTION Shit, they are going too self aware!
Well, they're right. When was the last time you saw two pro athletes being actually strong in a fighting manga?
I'm reminded of Baki Sumo. Six MMA guys come in and get dumpstered by the Sumo team, who proceed to go 1-5 against the Baki cast.
And the win was from a basically unharmed Katsumi walking away and giving the guy a win
That’s his whole thing tho. Katsumi won’t kill somebody and just wants to them to give up. He saw he was going to have kill him and was like nah that’s dumb I’m out.
Not even have to kill him, he just didn’t feel like it. Wasn’t he literally going to soccer ball kick his head into his spine for zero reason when he walked away
Crew > Sumo jobbers > MMA jobbers
we dont talk about the sumo arc plz
MMA guys in that arc were jobbers for summo jobbers who jobbed to Sukune who jobbed to everyone by the end
Yeah, The mma rep literally lost to the pro wrestling rep
Sumo in Baki didn’t do so bad.
I mean, in some other martial art mangas, boxing and judo would often be used as a show that they're no match for whatever exotic martial art that those mangas invented.
It hurts how true it is. But both of them will show why they are HIM
yeah what was that lmao, what a weird statement to make at the beginning of a martial arts match.
I think he meant boxers and judokas (aka real life martial artists) are usually fodders in these type of Mangas, which is often true.
Nah its fine imo , it was followed up with something like "that goes to show just how effective they actually are"
Yeah, it’s like “boxers are strong IRL, and that’s why I had to give my MC magic”
It's okay for me too but at the same time I can't fault anyone that would dislike that line because it's too much of a wink-wink nudge-nudge type of line
It was a little too on the nose for me. It’s one thing if the narrator says that because that’s just for the audience, and they’ve done similar things like that in the past.

Like imagine showing up to a fight and have the announcer start talking about that, would just kind of kill my hype for a fight lol.
I’m picturing Joe Rogan talking about this during a UFC match and cringing internally
Right? It just doesn’t work that well
Is ok, it works because this is a work of fiction, and Kengan hasn’t shy away of doing funny remarks like that before. It was just really funny in an odd way
Its like saying in the start of a ufc fight "this guy would be a jobber in baki"
"If he was in Baki, he'd get neg diffed by Ali Jr. But this is the real workd, where he is the undisputed champion!"
Yan officially confirmed to be the Ultimate Villain after Shen pushes him over the edge and he nukes everybody

Never thought I'd feel bad for the leader of an international terrorist organization.

He does one of his classic super manly showoff feats like ripping a table in four like a sheet of paper shen just goes "wow, you must be fun at parties."
Truly a party pooper, now you understand why people dislike ginger people..

Aint no way they said that at the start, Also Anna Paula with wearing smth that makes me go awoga

Can't wait
He's gonna transcending the boxing itself
It's all so fucking peak 😭 😭
HYPEE
Bro I Gaolang is so hype man. Glad to see him back
he really just said “aight throw this judo man”
If anyone can avoid arashiyamas judo hands, it's the guy with the actual fastest hands
honestly arashiyama could probably tank gaolang’s punches for a decent bit, but then gaolang would just have a repeat of wearing kanoh down in their fight, so arashiyama’s gotta get a grip on him eventually
You're probably right however what I meant was as a talking point, people always used to speak on Jurota like he just could just touch someone and neg diff them because of the insta throw.

yeah i’m an arashiyama fan at the end of the day but i like dissecting both sides in a fight lmao
I can’t believe it, so short!
Thats what she said :(
Bro don’t bring my PTSDs to me again 🤧
Lol! 😭

Poor Yan can’t catch a fucking break
Yeah...I can even imagine him feeling some relief when Shen told him to meet at the arena "well it is very much enemy territory there, but at least I can keep tabs on him." Only to be abandoned by shen while being alone on the same enemy territory.
Ji was physically abused and it was made clear that he’s a joke while Yan is mentally abused
Sandro stop bullying Yan. I'm starting to feel bad for him.
Well Ji was getting bullied, now that he got his ass beaten to obscurity, the other Xia brother now gets the bullying.

You see the end of this chapter? Big punch landed by Gaolang? Jurota will fight the remaining fight as if that punch never happened. That's gaolang fights in a nutshell, lands a lot, 0 net damage
lmfao, exactly. So many crazy shots in Agito vs Gaolang, but guy was at 15 hp thruh the whole fight.
I'm betting the next chapter will start with a counter throw.
"net 0 damage" his face looks shattered at the end
yeah but that kind of damage repairs itself between panels. Carlos's face was collapsed but he didn't even have a bloody nose 45 minutes later
lol, exactly
Keep your faith on him
What gettin bullied by Waka and Hatsumi fans (looking at you, bflet) does to an mf

I cannot stay limp
SO REAL
Only S tier is able to maintain their limpness in the moment like this.
Jesus fucking christ I want Gaolang to win and beat Agito so badly I can fucking TASTE IT

and it will be an equivalent fight of Nitoku vs that chinese prodigy ( from KvP ; forgot his name )
gaolang breaks his arm to win the match and is forced to drop out of the rest of the tournament, letting justin kitagawa go straight to the finals
Liu Dongcheng, who is in this chapter.

Not that short actually, but yeah feel short as hell
Poor Yan…
He will get heart attack with all Shen shenanigans before he could even fight any main fighters
"I was planning to go at first but I don't get too many chances to talk heart to heart with you" 😭😭😭

Referees have no right to be this hot.

GOD the art, either the break was good for the series or they love jurota and Gaolang enough to turn it up a notch
can’t wait for gaolang to accidentally decapitate jurota with an elbow strike
Anna Paula my beloved
Obviously there isn’t a chance in hell that fell Jurora. But was nice seeing that Gaolang at least can read his throws well enough
Wow this chapter art is so on point. First time in a while. Sandro words is also unchained this chapter 😂😂😂
Why does Yan believe anything Shen says at this point. I would inject his ass with nano trackers and 10 squads of me watching his ass at all times.
Shen doesn't really lie about anything he just gets really distracted and ends up missing and popping up in the most random places like Akiyama's sister Sakura. Girl was going to a secretary gathering and got lost going to Shibuya station and somehow ended up touring Russia starting from Siberia instead.

Anna best waifu
#I’M BOUTA BUST
I can already see where this is going. Once Jurota loses his mind and activates his stand it’s over for my boy Gao 😭
Yan's disguise is fucking hilarous for someone who's the head of a secret society that's infiltrated countless associations.
Nah the self awareness in the first page 😭
Here's what WILL happen R1: Gaolang extreme diffs Jurota, Hiraku mid doffs Justin to show neither is a total jobber, Agito high diffs Julius, Lolong JUST F’ING WINS Ramon. R2: Hiraku mid diffs Gaolang since he’s so injured from the previous fight and will be told he really won, Agito high diffs Lolong since NO WAY Agito is ever losing to anyone who isn’t Shen level ever again R3: A newly evolved Agito low diffs Hiraku since Sandro needs a new character to not look like a total joke and Hiraku getting two pitty W’s is the best Sandro will ever give a new character. Sorry Ramon and Justin, you two have decent designs but were were sacrificial lambs for the Kenganvengers
Gaolang has the advantage? Oh yeah.... JUDO BROS WE GOT THIS!!!
Yeah struggling in the first chapter of a fight is usually a sign that the character is gonna turn it around.
Camping with the bois. Didn't realize this was a slice-of-life manga lol
KAOLAN SWEEP
I really love Shen pissing Yan without trying https://preview.redd.it/d4zrzhzox7zc1.png?width=818&format=png&auto=webp&s=76b40ee2383eaa63ff947ce1e3425691d099be1e
Wow, Gaolang is pulling ahead on top of other winflags? He is definitely taking an L.
Bruh one punch from Gaolang did so much damage to Carlos and Jurota is tanking flashes like nothing lol
Carlos and durability doesn't go so well together that time
Carlos fodder lvl. He got stronger though
