>>288590079 You know that page of the purgatory gladiators all looking smug after Yumigahama loses? There should be one from the kenganvengers now for this ocasion
>>288590228 Remember that flashback where Niko was teaching Ohma about there being tons of "little moves" like the thigh push thing which don't actually have names? The Kures and Wus are utterly devoted to tracking down every single one of the nameless "little moves" and giving them comically chuuni names. That is the true purpose for which Wu Hei erupted up from Hell
I just feel so bad for Purgatory man. They'd work fine as a mid-tier rival org in a more traditional martial art manga, and they just got savagely executed by lvl9999 cultivators over the course of, what, 70 chapters? These poor dudes never stood a chance.

>>288590297 Thanks OP, you were awesome and top 5 storytimers I ever seen. Here is the poll for ratings of Ohma vs Rolon. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16gDnZzkEmXXIUjth4GpQW9mCubjOOCutpw1RiNUZA9Y/
>>288590193 >>288590259 Is this the first instance of "getting the timing right" being a magic spell which means nothing but makes you inexplicably punch way harder? I know it's far from the last
>>288590208 I'm gonna be honest, I hate Rolon. He has been insufferable since his first panel sitting on that bench and giving out his fortune cookie-worthy words of wisdom but even then in the fight between elbowman VS I can do everything Kung-Fu wizard I was still rooting for him.
honestly I cannot fathom reading this weekly without /a/. on its own, its such a fucking shitty sequel. I cannot even properly describe my resentment towards how much of a hack Sandro is. only shitposting makes it worthwhile
>>288590208 God, it's not even in present tense. Not that that'd make it even better but "were" really just affirms that Ohma has cemented the win in his mind and is already moving on. Shameless.
>>288590297 This is the third of the four horseman before we fully went into shizo keng/a/n. The other three being: >You got it all wrong :P >Fei dying >Lolong jobbing The worth one being „the party“
THAT'S IT? After all that buildup, Rolon goes down like that?
I'm guessing the author wanted him to be like Kuroki, who prioritizes martial arts proficiency over flash and wasted movements, but Rolon has no charisma to match Kuroki. And Kuroki had to coast on subversions.
>>288590413 I keep forgetting the "tragedy" and the ohma vs Rolon fight are back to back, they are both such retarded events my brain keeps categorizing them as a few arcs apart because there is no way a writer can cram so much stupid shit back to back. Sandros writing is truly "unfathomable"
>>288590257 Ohma's top opponents so far are Niko, Setsuna, Raian, Waka, Kuroki, and Agito (if you call that a fight). Lolong is probably above Setsuna and Raian.
>>288589770 is there a 'literally kuroki' counter? I think it's around half a dozen now. >>288589875 not even if they went at him together >>288590288 hold up, check his pulse to make sure it's not an outstanding victory for Purgatory >>288590421 lel
>>288590259 Wait. I know getting the timing right is a thing that has happened before, but the real meme "timing" is only coming. Did "people" like the callback to the flashback.... about 10 pages ago, and then Sandro took the lesson that people really like when someone gets the "timing right" instead?
>>288590288 Honestly, Lolong did better than I remember him doing. He actually was kicking Ohma's ass for a good run of the fight. Just that there's nothing you can when you're fighting a humanoid swiss army knife of bullshit techniques. Whatever 'he did' (whatever technique or flurry the writing team choreographed), Sandrovich had already planned for Ohma to have some special technique to escape it or reverse it.
>>288590687 >>288590734 I actually used yours as basis and tweaked / rearranged it a bit because I wanted to include FP3 quotes in it. I guess you could say "we" are "connected"...
>>288590856 Okubo was able to hit terashi in is blind spot because terashi had no actual martial arts experience. Rolon is just so skilled he can even hit trained martial artist in their blindspots since he is that good its different. god i hate sandros writng so much
>>288590814 Things become Sandroisms through repetition, if this had been a onetime thing it wouldn't have been a Sandroism in the first place. Even if a Sandroism was cemented at a later point in the story, people are going to clap and point at it's earlier occurrence on a reread.
>>288589924 >Lolong seeing his opponent snap his broken arm back into place like it's nothing and not think he's completely fucked Oh yeah, this guy believes in his own hype too much
>>288590288 >>288590297 >>288590208 Just think of it, this fight lasted as long as it did because Ohma would rather dick around first instead of Weeping Willow-ing this jackass into the pavement face first and further humiliating him with Redirection Aiki moves. "You were awesome Rolon" is such a main character way of saying "I'm done with you, thanks for entertaining me". Ohma didn't even feel the need to use Demonsbane on this guy, just beat him with a basic combo attack and called it a day. Talk about humiliating This entire fight is Ohma goofing off, using a Kure or Niko move like Bug Repellent and a battered Lolong going "Ha, you're awesome! Now you've really got my fighters blood boiling!" before Ohma uses a more Heavy Duty Bug Repellent to put him down
>fight some schmuck in a match >throws me a body blow, hurts but can handle it >he mutters "i got the timing right this time" >suddenly half of my chest explodes What the fuck do you do against this?
>>288590281 This page is so fucking bad. It's up there with Ohma's return as one of the worst pages in the series. Three people died for absolutely nothing, the outcome of this tournament doesn't matter to anyone on this page, and even in a meta sense this fight didn't deserve anything but flushing down a toilet.
>>288590948 its just silly to build up a guy as being a flawless martial artist with peak intellectual abilities for 80~ chapters and then have him be that thoroughly outclassed by the protagonist
>>288590934 That's not what I meant. We know that Sandro fundamentally misunderstands why things are popular. I'm wondering if it became a proper Sandroism because of this fight specifically, just for the wrong reasons.
>>288590970 He does give Ohma a bit of trouble but it should be extreme diff, not "decent diff". I think Sandro is too scared to portray Ohma actually being hurt or struggling sadly. Change this bit and it becomes a pretty good fight.
>>288590998 Yeah, when I read it as a newfag I also thought that Lolong wasn't worth all the hype but still a decent fight. I just wish it ended at the change of scenery, that was a nice change.
>>288590948 "Other than dialogue" is kinda oversimplifying it Rolon being so unthreatening and tryhard during the whole thing really makes the fight a chore, there's no reason the final fight should have such a blatant charisma black hole as a rep
>>288590948 >Lolong's gimmick doesn't even make sense in-universe (oh he rotates his shoulders and punches with his shoulder blades included) >hyped to hell and back but not once the protagonist (fuck you Sandro) seems to be in a bind, even at the end it just felt like he was playing around with him >choreography is mostly flailing arms around at close range >"he fought Kuroki to a standstill" then we cut to what actually happened and he's completely wasted while Kuroki is bathing in his blood and goes "lol scrub" >peak cocky Ohma calling the fight before it even ends at least twice >Sandro telling the audience how to feel multiple times How exactly did you manage to like this
>>288591042 Maybe it's because I'm comparing it to recent Kengan fights but basically it has a decent sense of choreography and I like some of the basic moves. It has its fair share of bullshit but it's not excessive. Like others said it's an issue of this being the final fight (+ shitty sandroisms in the dialogue) more than the FIGHT FIGHT if you get what I mean
>>288591053 So basically bad Sandroisms and retarded rotating shoulders but the rest was alright idk
>>288591076 Also to give a point of comparison, this is like 100 times better than Yumi vs Misasa (but of course it's still way worse than even Ohma vs Inaba).
>>288591098 That's a general issue with how Sandro's art evolved, was streamlined, and ultimately downgraded in many ways. It goes a bit beyond the usual streamlining degradation if I'm honest, maybe because Asura had some really cool shit.
Now that the tournament (but not the worst) is over I'm gonna post my cope fanfiction about how I would have liked the story to go. As much as I hate it chapter 50 still happens because that's too much wishful thinking. >Plot A is KVP and plot B is the worm. They'll intersect eventually but not right now. >Ohmer is back but not as a full-time fighter because he wants to investigate the Worm and learn about his past. He'll occasionally come by to say hi and train the rookies >Raian also fucks off from plot A and is on worm duty. >Kazzy uses the attack on his person as an excuse to postpone the tournament >All at the same time: >top Kengan fighters are automatically selected for the KVP , for the rest there's anopen qualifie tournament. Koga and Ryuki ente along with round 1 losers >chapters about the rivalry between the Kengan Association and Purgatory, in which Toyoda effortlessly looks like a gigachad and Nogi looks like a retard >at some point either Jurota or Medel instantly one-shot a kenganvenger to show that they're an actual threat >chapters where we get to know the purgatory crew, with the Liu-Fei-Naidan-Nicolas quartet acting like high-school bullies to the kengan characters. (it's actually Nicolas's idea and the others are just begrudgingly following along) >worm/niko/kure-centric chapters with Ohma and Raian as the leads >Then >Tournament eventually happens. Ryuki passes the qualifiers and joins the team, while Koga makes it in just as a substitute. >Raian and Ohma are dealing with the worms who actually have infiltrated Purgatory instead of joining as fighters >Medel wins. Fei still reveals himself, instantly wins and lives to fight another day. Naidan is homicidal instead of suicidals and Ryuki kills him in self-defense Agito vs Monke, who actually isn't a joke. Misasa isn't real. Liu Tan isn't revealed as a worm >Toyoda is actually revealed as a worm and he and Xia-ji are the final bosses for the worm side of the story
>>288589770 >He might be on par with Kuroki... from 20 years ago! So Ohma is actually a bazillion times weaker than Kuroki was in the KAT or Kuroki made almost no real progress in those 20 years?
It feels underwhelming. Back in Ashura, the last chapters implied there was a world beyond the KA fighters, that expending their horizons was the key to their growth. Even the winner accepted he still was far from his ideal self. Now it kinda feels like KA *was* the pinnacle and characters throw Kuroki's name as the endgame of all powerlevels every time they can. The supposed rival org's champion is just used by Ohma as a training dummy and even the big bad just ended up killing himself without doing anything. I never really like stories that seem to limit themselves like this, it makes the world feel so small you know?
>>288590948 Compared to Ohma's other fights? Yea it's pretty bad. In most of Ohma's previous fights his opponents were forcing him to show his cards but in this fight I don't get that impression. The impression I get is that Lolong is so used to bashing Can Openers that he can't measure an actual strongman anymore. He saw a guy use a technique called "Bone Consumption" and thought he still had a chance
>>288589924 How the fuck do you fight this? Ohma is that kid on the playground you shoot with your imaginary gun and he says nuh-uh I had a bullet deflecting forcefield active.
>>288590281 The only way to make this page worse is to have the purgatory team cheering for it as well because Ohma is so cool they don't care about Lolong anymore
>>288590939 >Ohma didn't even feel the need to use Demonsbane on this guy, just beat him with a basic combo attack and called it a day Wouldn't we also complain if every Ohma fight got ended with Demonsbane?
>>288591217 This would have been cool coupled with some kind of bloodthirsty look so that we could have some semblance of consistency with Medel running out of hospital to stop that crazy pendejo.
>>288591111 >if it was a known fact Purgatory fighters were generally worse Because they try to convince us that's not the case. They tried to build purgatory up as being a rival to kengan in therms of talent, but Sandro couldn't let his good boys get fucked up so he just make purgs massive losers
>>288591336 Meaningless scaler talk. He entered the arena in a bad-but-manageable state and left half dead. I suspect you have some kind of agenda, bias or really weird powerscaling angle about it because nobody reasonable calls this "mid diff"
>>288591158 >at some point either Jurota or Medel instantly one-shot a kenganvenger to show that they're an actual threat I would prefer my fighting manga to have good matches, and one-shots are not good.
>>288591429 That's high to extreme diff basically. What would be 5 tougher (or equal) fights than this? Kuroki, Raian... Let's be nice and say Tiger Niko. Who else?
>>288591217 >Sandro: Rolon is a dangerous beast when it comes to fighting... >also Sandro: don't make him look dangerous and unhinged as his back is pushed against the wall
>>288590281 >3 people died >Only 2 good wins from Purgatory >Still acting like this should be a wholesome triumphant well earned victory to cheer for Disgusting.
>>288589888 >wrestle a guy to the ground >have a premonition of him beating your ass after he has a gay flashback about his insane boyfriend Raian What did Rolon's brain mean by this?
It doesn't. Kuroki is still mostly kept in Sandro's pocket, probably for later, with very few fights so far. Also, Kuroki scales alongside everyone else, it's kinda crazy. You'll get some decent-ish Agito fights but honestly I doubt Sandro could make a worthy follow-up to Agito vs Kuroki.
>>288591363 The only guy I can think of that got put down with a Demonsbane was Ranjo. Waka got hit with it twice but needed some more tenderizing to go down and Kuroki completely overruled Demonsbane by simply not letting Ohma land the punch Lolong would have been the second guy who'd be put down by it if Ohma ever used it Whether anons think Ohma using Demonsbane on Lolong is just more excessive bullying or an exaggeration of how "Dangerous" Lolong would be is another story
>>288590939 >Ohma didn't even feel the need to use Demonsbane on this guy To play devil's advocate, Lolong only using "basic" strikes means he doesn't have a super move Ohma can redirect back. He could redirect his regular strikes but it wouldn't really be a big finisher move.
>>288589770 pretty impressive how Sandro made every character in the entire cast look worse with just one panel. I think Kuroki's reputation took the biggest hit in this tournament because everyone who gets compared to him ends up looking like shit
>>288591515 Fei would have one-sidedly dunked on anyone besides Ohma and Agito. People only think the fight makes Waka look bad because Fei happens to be the only designated villain who actually puts up a fight and is as strong as he should be on paper.
>>288590392 This page is genuinely what sandro thinks the audience looked like reading this garbage. I was gonna replace the kengan people with the panels of all the purg fighters who were beaten/died but collecting those panels and cutting out the countdown bubbles seemed like a lot of work when the page is enough of a joke already.
>>288591553 Unironically I'm staring to think Sandwich fucked Daro over on the long run. Daro should just bail at this point and start his own projects just like Sandro did. He's already giving minimum effort. Only reason he's stayed is probably becuase of his family and the steady income.
>>288590948 >Am I the only one who thinks the Rolon fight isn't so bad? It's hard to take seriously because of >>288590754 The fight is way too lopsided in Ohma's favor. The final boss really shouldn't be feeling like the underdog. Ohma is really unlikable here. Rolon is trying his best with his normal moveset, meanwhile Ohma is doing shit like Copy and fucking Bone Consumption where he is magically generating enough arm strength to toss a man from the worst position you can think of. Sandro thinks this is cool that's the worst part. >you rike seeing what healthy Ohma can do? No, not really.
>>288589924 >>288590297 I don't see it mentioned much, but I feel like one of the main reasons Omega's fights fall so fucking flat is there's zero sense of struggle in any of the fights anymore. Most of the fights in this tournament were two people tapping each other until one landed their finishing move (or suicided lmao), there's no real damage to either fighter most of the time. In Ashura, so many of the fights felt like incredibly violent, desperate struggles. Like, with Cosmo vs Akoya, you could genuinely feel Cosmo's fear as a psychopath was slowly brutalizing him with the intent to murder him, it was excellent. Most fighters didn't make it out of their fights without serious injuries--by the time you get to Kuroki vs. Ohma, Kuroki has had his fingers broken about 10 times and Ohma is a walking corpse. I think this is one of the reasons why Liu's fight was so good compared to all the others--it felt like a genuine struggle between two passionate fighters.
I get that this tournament format made it harder to give the fighters lasting damage, but imagine if Ohma's arm actually stayed fucked up rather than being fixed with Niko healing magic. It's kind of amusing when you consider that both the KA and Purgatory adopt no killing rules, and yet somehow Purg vs. KA ends up with far more deaths than the KAT, and yet the KAT feels 1000x more brutal overall. It's all so schizophrenic and retarded, why did I even write this post
>>288591706 Rolon is pretty basic in his moveset but he has the edge over Ohma for a decent part of the fight, I wouldn't say he feels like the underdog but he doesn't feel like a final boss either
>>288591415 Ohma just naturally has an extreme willpower to win. It's why he's able to fight at almost peak condition levels even with extreme injuries. Ohma even at full health isn't leaving that fight without cracked limbs. Demonsbane was his one and only win condition.
>>288591272 Holy shit Daro should have just done the writing for this fight as well as the art. Wasn't he the one who advocated against ohma defeating lolong immediately too?
>>288591743 Yeah that's basically how the fight was portrayed. Can't see how anyone would say otherwise unless they REALLY have something against Waka, which that anon apparently does
>>288591707 Oh, and I forgot to mention, I feel like Baki suffers from the same problem nowadays too. It's still fairly violent, but the fights just don't evoke any serious emotion anymore. Compare what a desperate, violent struggle Pickle vs. Jack was (where Jack gets his fucking face ripped off and keeps fighting), compared to the rematch where Pickle is scratching at him like a fucking cat.
>>288590281 >>288590288 I don't think I've ever felt disgusted by a manga before this. This felt like witnessing bullying and being told to root for the bully.
>>288590288 Didn't Sandro originally plan to have Ohma one-shot Rolon and an editor had to plead with him not to? I don't understand what goes on in that man's mind.
>>288591574 Sandro seems to have this opinion that you can only be strong if you wear an expressionless face all the time (unless you're his favorite pet Raian of course).
>>288591705 Nah, Daro loves using Ai. He can put in 5% of effort doing shoddy cleanup on whatever his assistance prompted and he still gets paid at the end of the day
Reminder that we're like five years into Omega and this is still the closest Ohma has had to a challenge. Worm jobbers didn't phase him, the sumo was praised as strong during that fight but Ohma was comfortable enough to fuck around and try to beat the him at his own game, five fights was just sparring with empty hype for his opponents to make them seem threatening and he stopped fighting dragon-shen because he wanted to fight him at full strength.
>>288591845 I would have laughed. Either way, Lolong would have been humilated. The difference would just be either kat R1 Lihito tier humiliation vs kat R1 Nezu tier humiliation.
>>288589924 SAY IT WITH ME BOYS! I HATE THE FUCKING NIKO STYLE! I HATE FUCKING NIKKERS! KILL EVERY SINGLE FUCKING NIKKER DEAD! STOMP OUT EVERY NIKKER BABY! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
>>288591956 Dont worry this isn't even one of the top ten worse "get the timing right" moments, its just the most iconic because of how stupid this fight is.
>>288590053 First you go limp to loosen your joints. Then you flex just perfectly right to realign all of your bones into the right place. It just werks.
Yeah, I remembered why the fuck I hated this fight jesus christ. Why does Sandro insist on building up and hyping up dudes so much only to have them horrendously job? Complete with Ohma's false-compliments to boot 'YOU WERE AWESOME ROLON! DEFINITELY TOP 5 GUYS I EVER FOUGHT!'
>>288591878 I expect his next fight will be someone absolutely random Sandro is willing to fodderize like Hatsumi, Muteba, or Misasa. Ohma is in a weird spot where he's wayyyy too much for any mid pack fighter and even most of the good ones, but still not strong enough for Shen. There are a very limited number of characters left in the narrative that could realistically give him a hard time. Although frankly the character's problems go a lot deeper than simply not being challenged in his fights.
>>288590088 I'm surprised all of the people who keep up with Omega every week hate Lolon. I kinda want him to win now as his techniques don't seem as broken or dumb as ohmas. What was Lolons biggest crime? Just sitting on the bench?
the worst part is, Rolon and Purgatory were hyped up as actual rivals for Kengan, only for them to all be mega jobbers, majority of whom 'won' through dying or through fucking abusing purgatory rules. Falcon and Liu were the only ones to win by actually beating their opponents outright Ohma literally mid-diffed Purgatory's 'Strongest fighter'. Fucking INABA made Ohma look like he'd been through a worse fight than Rolon.
"Top 5" is so egregious. He has the most recorded wins of any fighter in the series, he killed hundreds of worms and they were never a threat to him, he fought kuroki to a standstill and has irl years of vague "he's strong" comments during this tournament behind him. But he's only top five.
>>288591763 Most modern Baki fights are two guys basically jerking themselves off on one another before the both go back home at the end of the day smirking too themselves. It is too shitposty. All the conflicts are wrapped up and shit like Jack vs Hanayama was just mindless fan service with an ending that could be interpreted either way to keep fanboys happy.
>>288591845 Unironically it would be LESS shitty and honestly pretty funny at least. If done right it would show that Purgatory fighters are purely performers not actual "warriors" like most Kengan fighters are, instead we got a very mediocre boring fight
>>288592173 Mostly being bitchy on the sidelines the entire time. And busting up Nicolas vs Akoya, that up to that point was the best fight in the tournament.
>>288590281 This page is good as a concept. Like before the first match started you could think "what if the final fight has everyone counting down!" However with the way everything went, it doesn't seem appropriate nor does it make sense given how many of these characters are and it feels so cheap and unearned because the final match naturally involves one of the most asspulled MCs to exist.
Like it feels like something KOGA would deserve due to his hard work since the beginning.
>>288592142 It's just weird because he shoulder tackled Koga out of the main character spot so that he could...do nothing and have no struggle. His character development was complete in Ashura and now it's like he's supposed to be wiser and more mature but he just comes across as stoic with no personality. It's futile to try to understand the mind of Sandro, all we can do is accept that we've been subverted.
>>288592142 Well maybe if Sandro wrote that GI Joe manga he really wants to about Ohma hunting down the Worm maybe he WOULD be strong enough to go toe to toe with Shen by this point after dismantling the terrorist orginization
>>288592244 This wouldn't be an issue if the story treated Purgatory as a fucking joke and everyone on the Kengan side telling Toyoda that he's a fucking idiot trying to swim in shark infested waters. Hammer home that Purgatory is pure entertainment and can only win through gimmicks and rule lawyering instead of straight fights
>>288592173 His commentary from the sidelines and characters and the writer constantly jerking him off is insufferable. He's a bit better after this funnily enough.
>>288592472 This, I genuinely think Purgatory should've mainly got wins in a scummy sort of way that showed that KAT is stronger but business is business. Ironically would've made Koga winning anything actually believable.
>>288592173 Honestly Lolong came off as an asshole armchair general who got humbled and shown how big the world is, like Ashura Agito but with Dunning-Kruger effect. Which is kinda likeable but sure as hell not what Sandro intended.
>>288590002 Remember that time Lolong was smugposting from the bench about Yumi using his quick draw finisher move over and over because it lost the element of surprise so it wouldn't be effective? And now he's using his secret finisher over and over but it's okay because he's doing it.
>>288590948 >>288590998 Yeah, this fight is just really fucking bad for the grand finale of the tournament. It's not awful in a vacuum, but it's shit for being the deciding brawl and everything all the others have been leading up to. Rolon didn't deserve his final boss status at all.
Do you think Lolong will finally get a chance to shine on namek island? We have so many low-mid tiers left I hope when we finally see him he's surrounded by three or four R1 KAT level opponents on the ground and we only get to see him break their watches and walk away afterwards. This is cope, he will get mid-diffed by Fu Zhan.
>>288592548 God imagine if that was the way the story went and Ohma just goes >Koga, you're up, kick Lolong's ass And he actually fucking does it, at significant cost, but he fucking wins because Lolong is basically just pre MK tournament Johnny Cage while Koga has been training with and fighting some real motherfuckers
>>288592173 Lolong's a condescending prick who shittalks his coworkers, acts like the supreme authority and then when he has his match with Ohma it turns out he's a huge shmuck who can't size up opponents that aren't being fed to him directly from Toyoda. You'd think the most Literally-Kuroki guy ever would be able to tell that Fei and Lu Tian were holding back but I guess not Should have had Ohma one-shot him like intended
>>288592733 Or here's an idea. Have Ohma who is still recovering from being raised from the dead lose to the guy that has been built up constantly for like 80 chapters.
>>288591736 Yeah, we're past that part by about 300 chapters. Not only is it a shit fight, but it'd be the only fight the winners from Purg would have.
>>288591946 >If lolong is above Raian, he is above Waka. Nah. The only basis for this is Agito's statement that Raian and Julius beat him, but that was literally wrong. He also got a draw against super roid Raian with the Niko Style when fighting Fei.
>>288592879 >Likes: Humility It was really humble how you talked shit about your colleagues from the bench or after they were dead as if you were above them.
>>288592173 Sandro really wants to tell you how to feel about a character and when that doesn't mesh with what you actually feel, it causes friction. In this case, he's Literally Kuroki for 70 chapters and then you get this fight.
>>288592882 >The only basis for this is Agito's statement that Raian and Julius beat him, but that was literally wrong. I remember when Agito said that and a lot of anons thought "There's no way he's talking about Raian? Right?"
>>288592879 >he's humble but also he's a huge shit-talking asshole >purgatory characters like Carlos are scared of him but also he's a chill and stoic guy >he's a worm hunter but he doesn't give a shit about the worms on his team at all Sandro just could not decide what he wanted to do with this character.
>>288590059 >>288590070 Ohma is literally just as retarded as Fei, using this shit in a fight that doesn't matter at all. He just has plot armor, so this has no consequences.
>>288592308 It's real, but people who meme it can't read subtext. Naruto is talking about Obito, the guy who was just like him, a great hero who wanted to become Hokage. The guy that did all the terrible shit was the masked guy, Tobi. That doesn't mean that Naruto forgives everything he did, but contextually he's separating the two.
>>288590208 This is really a magic sentence that can make me laugh every single time I see it in this context. You were awsome Lolon, definitely in the top 5 I ever read.
>>288593100 Fei honestly came down with the 'Personality switches as soon as he steps into the ring' illness just like Lu Tian, but Ring!Fei was at least actually still enjoyable, in comparison. Truly he had to have been on something potent with his handling of Lu Tian.
>>288590530 I hate Sandro so much. He really only cares about building hype. Consistency and internal logic are things that just never cross his mind. Well, almost never crosses his mind, I guess. Sometimes he still does painful damage control in character bios.
>>288591957 Don't bother thinking about it. Sandro writes these chapters in a stream of consciousness style. He never bothers revising for consistency.
>>288589796 >>288589803 The stiltedness of this dialogue is horrific, and only doesn't get so much attention because everything surrounding it manages to be worse.
