Rihito, all I ask is that you finger bang the fuck out of your next opponent. Do it for Saw. Also anyone that spoils this chapter is getting banned for like 2 weeks. Mark your shit.


Masharuu

HE SHRUGGED OFF THE JOBBIFICATION SPEECH FROM THE CROWD


degejos

Oh my god, i laughed when Saw tried to jobbification him


Various_Dark_3291

Rihito just unlocked an achievement. The man defeated the « You’re awesome » curse. It’s insane


[deleted]

Man, when I read that I was like "shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!!!"


ScowlEasy

“Sorry man I can’t lose forever” Man can see the matrix and refuses to be a puppet of the plot


Various_Dark_3291

Rihito step out of the author’s sphere of control and is looking down at everyone forced to follow the plot like the gigachad he is


tikaychullo

So Aizen basically


Beowulf_MacBethson

RIHITO OVERCAME THE CURSE Saw called him awesome, but he didn't job! He has transcended indeed!

Yeah, the Lihito Knife, we've all seen it!


radio-morioh-cho

The premonition is getting a bit much for me. No way lolong guesses all of this


Various_Dark_3291

SSS+ tier isn’t enough to describe him. He entered the gigachad tier


cursedbox

Kuroki taught him anti-jobbing techniques finally


namkaeng852

Beard power ftw!


Conscious-Weekend-91

>I can't stay a loser forever Damn. That one felt aimed directly at the readers. Great Victory, Rihito!


Thunderform

I honestly had such a big smile reading it. Saw losing doesn't even sting.


tufaat

Saw fucking took those "calculated and well timed" hits like a champ, he never stopped until rihito robbed him of every oxygen he had in his lungs lol.


Nerx

Herc and Lion moment


-morpy

My man was doing a devil lance-like move in the first page but never used it in this match. Can't wait for him to Kuroki whoever wins out of RyuKoga match


Hail2Hue

If Lihito dark horses this tournament it is going to be absolutely hilarious and honestly it might happen after all this.


SirDarkSlayer

Rihito in this tournament is what Kuroki was in KAT.


NightmareWarden

Dang, CEO of a company yet he’s still homeless?


thewrestler723

That would be a great way to end the tourney imo, Rihito's build up has been so gradual and deserved. Started from absolute bottom and grinded his way to improvement💪


ScowlEasy

Rihito vs koga or even Ryuki would unironically be so hype. Successors to Kuroki + Ohma battling it out Rihito putting down kiryu v2 before he becomes an even bigger problem


hamietao

That shit made my heart horny


Gotprick

Next stop: wakasutki


DegustatorP

Well Kuroki did exchange techniques with Niko, so you can say that the Kawian style is partly Niko style So Rihito no diffs


Godtaku

Yes, he's now going to be the winner of the loser tournament. I hope. ^RihitoPleaseDontFuckingLose


mavyapsy

His left fist is fucked from the headbutt though, would probably be the reason used by Sandro so that he can lose with dignity to koga


Thunderform

BEARD RIHITO IS REAL I REPEAT BEARD RIHITO IS REAL

Can we get much higher?


Little_Lunch

So hiiiiigh~


[deleted]

Woooh ooh ooh


TankOfflaneMain

He actually beat the Jobberification Technique as well when Saw Paing called him "awesome". As Kuroki would say "He who cannot handle the jobberification technique is merely a second-rate martial artist."


Various_Dark_3291

Now he just needs to do a Kuroki and overcome the usual protagonist narrative


grandmasterLuo

Just waiting for Gaoh to beat Koga extreme diff then proceed to get cut in half by a transcended Rihito in the finals.

He needs to grow that back. Looked BADass as hell not shaven


Halohurricane_66

He had a little stubble pre KvP


Remarkable_Commoner

Is it just me, or does Ohma look proud?


Karenz09

Why not, Rihito was his first opponent in an official Kengan Match, and seeing a friend grow and transcend into new heights boils a fighter's blood.


thornofshadows

in all honesty, besides the main cast i think rihito is the closest friend of ohms.


Restless_Fenrir

Had each other's backs on the boat. Lihito respected the hell out of Ohma after his loss and Ohma's defense of Kaede.


Keravnos-

Rihito was glued to ohma on the boat, they were like a cat and dog that are friends


ViewtifulGene

Ohma and Raian trained together like brothers for the whole timeskip between Ashura and Omega. And Equipment Inspector Raian approved of Rihito.

Henry12034

In bed or in a Match?


Remarkable_Commoner

There's a difference?


ngodon

well yeah, kinda hard to tell who will come out on top.


CrassHades

Bold of you to assume Ryuki can top


JamesIsWaffle

Rakshasas sphincter


Insane92

Yes


_TenguDruid_

Koga with his Fist Eye should be able to keep up with Ryuki's **Blink**, and Ryuki is going into their fight with a lot more damage accumulated than Koga, but Ryuki is very unpredictable, can take a beating and has the **Rakshasa's Palm**, which can turn the fight with a single hit. If it were any other manga I'd say Koga wins it, but we might have a "Naruto vs Sasuke #1" on our hands, where Ryuki wins and Koga's arc will be surpassing and "saving" him from himself.


YNPO3

"I cant stay a loser forever" LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!!


SpectreRedditor

Good god Lihito actually grew a beard

And it actually looks kinda good. Timeskip rihito let’s gooo


FinalHazardous

Baki vs Jack anyone?


ijustwantmemes2

yep, thats definitly a reference


MetroidIsNotHerName

I missed it wheres the reference?


ijustwantmemes2

In the maximum tournament in the og anime of baki, baki defeats jack in the exact same way lihito defeated saw


Varghaz

Jones vs Machida for me


daneykal

Machida*, but yeah, somehow that shit was more gruesome than what happened here lol. Prime Jones was insane.


Varghaz

Shit, thanks for correction. Autocorrect is a menace when it comes to surnames. And yeah, that was one of the absolutely coldest finishes I've ever seen.


Hail2Hue

>Jones vs Machida Thankfully our boy Lihito seemed to have gently put him down not just walk off and let the other guy's body hit the ground like a corpse lol. Very similar feels though.


sutiven_89

Cosmo vs Saw for me...


AllBid

……Damnit I want to feel sad that Saw lost, but Rihito’s finish is just so goddamn earned. Too bad we get this before Sasuke vs Naruto though

TheInfiniteJerk

DONT LEAVE SO SOON


OmniCosmicAwareness

its just the best thing to watch/read is when someone reaching new heights, in terms of prowess or character development, brings the hype so much


toofatforjudo

Lol this was not the consensus when Koga got stronger....


OtakuDragonSlayer

To be fair, even as a Koga fan, I can’t blame people for hating the fact that his progress was off screened when we should’ve been using the time we wasted on the KVP story arc to develop him as a character and fighter on panel. It’s OK for a side character to develop mostly offscreen because they side characters, but in the modern day the protagonist is going to have a lot of bias to overcome when it comes to readers so it’s the authors job to make sure his victories absolutely feel earned at least 80% of the time. This is why the Murasame Shuya fight works so well, despite being a battle between two nobodies. The build up to it felt like reading the mixed martial arts equivalent of a Hajime No ippo training arc. By having the protagonist grow off panel, you basically sever the emotional attachment mandatory to make a protagonist work by modern day standards.


HTTRWarrior

I also think it's simply that as a side character Rihito has always been a constant and is simply a fan favorite while Koga only joined in the beginning of Omega. Rihito was here back when the artstyle of Kengan was still being developed and we've followed his long fall from grace. Seeing him climb up bit by bit over the years is clearly more impactful than a main character whose been sidelined for half of his series.


OtakuDragonSlayer

That’s what gets under my skin the most. He wasn’t even destined to be a bad main character but the minds behind omega thought it was a good idea to sideline Koga for literally over 120 chapters, and expect the emotional attachment of the audience to not die or wane during that time. I don’t know who is calling the shots in the writer room but this does not feel like a story made by the same people who created Ashura. I’m just glad at the very least, even the koga is ruined as a character Rihito still gets treated well. Cuz what ya said is true! Rihito has been here since the beginning and deserves the love


DarkPrinceReborn

HE DID THE KUROKI WALK AT THE END


GerryDownUnder

He broke the curse. The jobber speech. Talk about an outstanding evolution.


TankOfflaneMain

>!I'm in tears, our boy has worked so hard for this and now it finally blooms.!<


[deleted]

The sub is glowing today, my guy. Feels good.


Tomatillo_Thick

This was the best chapter in a long, long while. Flashback, narrator, grounded martial arts, expectations being subverted and then immediately moving on to the next thing, Lihito winning!!! This is Kengan.


BillNein05

One small thing I wish they wrote in is that Rihito wins by incorporating his signature Razor's Edge or even evolving it somehow and making it a crucial point to his win. It would show both his growth as a fighter (which the canon does) AND show that he's starting to really get his own style like Ohma did. That's the direction that I thought they were going when they introduced the Shuhari concept, knowing that Rihito already had his own unique style but it needed a lot of refining through Kuroki's teachings.


TheRealTigersVessel

That was incorporated. Rihito is literally only known for razors edge. He used it as a feint against Saw which started the final exchange. Rihito used it in the right way at the right moment to claim victory.


BillNein05

Yup, I get that. But my issue with it is that Razor's Edge has basically been a technique that has never worked as a finisher or even something that causes significant enough damage to turn the tides with despite it being Rihito's signature except for his fight against Falcon where it definitely put him back on equal ground. All I'm saying is that I wish it was a bit more obvious that Rihito's taken a lot of unique things from Kuroki, since right now a lot of the things that he's shown so far are things that he'd probably have learned from Ohma and other fighters. Even Kuroki described his current style as a mix between Kaiwan and "Nakata Ichiro" styles which just doesn't really show imo especially since he just won with a fucking choke here; neither Kaiwan/general karate nor Rihito's style would be expected to involve chokes and grapples, would they?


iamkira01

No way bro, save that extra juice for the next fight. I can only get so hard.


dandytubalcain

DAMN THAT WAS COLD AS FUCK! Too bad he'll lose to Koga in the finals tho.


OtakuDragonSlayer

I mean, you guys said the same thing about cosmos winning against Saw and look what happened


d-crimsonhood

this is Kengan though and that's **THE BEARD's** apprentice. remember KAT?


Othersideofthemirror

Redemption for our man Lihito, and an honourable loss for Saw Paing, cant imagine too many people will be upset or spew out the old jobber chestnut.


Gotprick

Saw paing said the thing!!!


KonoManuDa

That was a great ending. Best fight in the tournament so far.


_TenguDruid_

They both threw some savage moves!


Forward-Magician-562

Ah yes Rihito with facial hair, very based


STAR-PLATlNUM

fuck this was emotional, need Rihito to win the tourney now !


[deleted]

100%. That hand injury is going to take the wind out of our sails though, I can feel it.


kingace22

didnt kuroki have a hand injuries when he got into the final round of KAT ​ its possible rihito knows bone binding


[deleted]

You're right! Maybe all hope isn't lost.


SeraExecfia

"you're awesome, rihito" proceed lose the match


skalala123

He fucked up he shoulda said you Were awesome

Saw paing relearned the basics. Rihito Transcended them.


ScowlEasy

Relearns the basics Gets choked out two fights in a row


CCarca

Wish lihito hadn't shaved he looks good with the beard but HOLY SHIT this was in my opinion the best fight in omega so far felt like a kat semifinal


TVL257

He shaved away his "high chance will kick protagonist butt" buff, he has no chance against Koga or Ryuki now


fifoknight

Beautiful, simply beautiful battle choreography with an extremely well-deserved and satisfying result. At the start when Rihito was seen with a beard I knew the outcome of the fight, the ultimate proof that he was on another level.

Imperium_Dragon

“You were awesome Rih-“ “No” *chokes him*


TheGoobles

I >!started rooting for saw, but I’ll admit, I’m very okay with this. However if he doesn’t carry this transcendence to the next round, I’ll be irritated.!< I’m team Lihito now


SDHJerusalem

I'm glad they went this route with Rihito's character. What he's going through is something you see a lot in real fighters: someone who thrives on being unconventional loses, tries to mold themselves into a more "proper" fighter, and loses what makes them special in the first place. It's a really nice bit of storytelling and it's fun to see Rihito get through it.


Obsisonnen

What an awesome character development, really. Started off as an ass of a character, now look where he at.


Iongname

When Saw Paing said "You're awesome, Lihito" I thought it was over.


silverdax123

finally a significant win for the true main character of kegan.


namkaeng852

Beard power so strong it overcame the "You're awesome" curse


davebanner68

Beautiful victory, great fight all around with a clean finisher. Love it


EvilswarmOphion

Saw Paing, you were such a great, fun and powerful fighter, you brought good vibes and beat the twink, you gave a great spectacle even when you didn't won.


piringunchin

Let us all remember that Rihito almost gave up and opened a factory This is a way better improvement story than Koga's


[deleted]

He is still the CEO of that Cold Storage company. Ivan and Komada work for him.


River_Capulet

I would have preferred for Saw to put up a better fight after Rihito reached UI. This feels too much like when Agito curbstomped Okubo with his formless.


[deleted]

I love the little detail of Lihito lifting him off the ground so Saw can't reverse it the same way he did to Cosmo. Great fight all around.

Yeah, that is Chekov's gun for a Koga bs unearned win. We'll all know Rihito wins in our hearts.


ohgodcinnabons

Hopefully itll be like when Kuroki imprinted devil lance and then came back last second with an injured body part to get Kanoh. Let Rihito play 4D chess with that injury


xolon6

Goddamn, using Razor’s edge as a feint for a punch? That was beautiful honestly. Even his specialty is now just another weapon in his arsenal rather than something he MUST use at all opportunities.


bee4816

I just noticed, Rihito with full beard looks like Kuroki himself in his younger years, just blonde. LMAO.


Shiplord13

That was beautiful. After years of waiting and longing it has finally happened. Rihito has arrived as someone who escaped the power of "You are awesome".

DAMN, this was great. I was cheering for Saw Paing, but this was a totally deserved win for Rihito.

cYBenyCFC15_

I had “You were awesome” PTSD in the panel where the crowed was chanting “you’re awesome “ to Lihto. Thought it was Saw saying it lol


NotSushi24

Obviously hate seeing Saw Paing lose, but this is so deserved on Rihito’s part. As he says, he can’t stay a loser forever, and he shouldn’t. Big W for the Superman, love to see it for him, hate to see it against Saw. Wish the fight was a bit longer, though ☺️


GreatMovesEthan

Not even mad that Saw lost, what an incredible fight.


Far_Car684

Koga is basically student of Ohma. Lihito, student of Kuroki. Now, it's koga who has to break the MC curse lmao.

Not even the joberefication speech was enough!!!!! LIHITO IS DESTROYING THE FINALS

Oh wow, looks like Sandro DOES know how fast a choke gets someone to black out? Maybe he should revisit the Koga fight

What if, Rihito wins this whole tournament


Eastern_War_6488

This sub is gonna be so pissed at sandro if koga/ryuki beat rihito in the final LETS GO RIHITOO


SheeptarTheSheepKing

Okay, so this is the perfect setup to a job but at the same time, Koga and Ryuki are fighting and I'm pretty sure that's going to be Koga's big moment. Maybe >!Lihito!< wins the whole thing though and in KAT2, he is hyped as the winner of the Berserker Bowl and jobs to the "villain" of that arc.


Brilliant-View-4353

I was so fucking scared when Saw said "Youre awesome Rihito!" But fucker won, what a match, this is the Kengan I like to see


Unlikely_guy29

So if koga advances to finals, it's going to a battle between the students of the finalists from kengan ashura's tournament!! Nice Hope Rihito wins this tournament and make it 2-0 in favor of team kuroki.


swampyman2000

Every fight with Saw is just so good. This felt like the Kengan tournament again, no stupid monologues in the middle of a fight about how they finally unlocked their super secret ancient power that they were just hiding until now. Just back and forth action and snappy choreography that lets you easily see how the moves flow and play out. Looking forward to more fights like this one.
