Sen should be in his own separate tier list, because his entire gimmick is that he can be as strong or as weak as the plot/Sandwich needs him to be. His fighting style should basically be called "Plot Device Style".
>>
>>
>>285802105
Bando should at least place somewhere in the gimmick category. Having 5x the range of everyone else is an insane boost. Also, Muteba for high IQ for realizing that risking his life for this shit was stupid and leaving.

I don't know why people keep saying this about Sen. Yes, he had a record of being lazy and not putting effort in, but the KAT was him actually trying for once. There's multiple scenes of him getting into the "mood" and talking about how he actually did put in time training to prepare for the tournament, which is why he was so disappointed when he lost to Agito.
He didn't get nerfed by the plot against Agito, he just got straight up outskilled.

Its reading comprehension check
>ERM HE DID EVEN WORSE THAN KAOLAN
Kaolan beat Kanoh's ass but he was gimping himself to the mirror match its like picking to your friends main character in a fighting game to see if you can beat him at his own game
Kanoh took Sen so seriously he swapped to his main instantly and refused to fuck around
Sen kept up respectfully well but Dragon Shot hard countering his ace Stardrop was just a really unfortunate matchup, and it even took two to drop him unlike Lu Tian
>>
>>
>>285802105
Saw really shouldn't be #1 in toughness. Yeah, his gimmick is that he has tough bones and a super hard skull, and he forgoes defense for offense, but it's not like his whole style is based around intentionally eating hits like Seki and is their is a limit to the punishment he can take. Also, it's only his skull that's super hard. Getting hit anywhere else still damages him a lot.
Raian probably should be on that list over him, like someone else said. Every fight he's in is just him going "lol didn't hurt" no matter how many times he gets his face slammed into the ground, and even after he lost to Ohma he was on his feet a few minutes later with several panels dedicated to people going "wow he's barely injured even after all that!"
Also, what about Masaki? Muteba literally had to kill him because even after having his balls crushed and eyes gouged out, he still refused to stop fighting or loosen his grip.
>>
>>
>>
>>285806759
>>285806844
Agito also "evolved" right before their fight and realized the weakness of relying on Formless so much. Sen went into that match expecting him to fight like he usually did and was completely thrown off. Even then, it was only the Dragon Shot that saved Agito's ass.
Sen had been hyped up to be nearly unbeatable when he was in top form and that fight was just to show that Agito was on a completely different level.
Same with how they had that whole page talking about all of those previous fighters that Waka beat effortlessly only for him to eat shit by a half dead Ohma.

>>285807052
I was going to add on that nearly every fighter was hyped up to some extent, but Sen was definitely one of the standouts even among that. He was said to have beaten Waka easily in the past, with the only other person known to have beaten Waka at that point being Agito who was the "final boss". They also revealed that he was supposed to be the next Fang at one point but bailed because it was too much work.
Most characters got jerked off, but some were certainly jerked more than others.

>>285806878
Not the creator of your list I agree with your assessment about Raian but
>Also, what about Masaki?
He would be in the top 5 of the tournament but not top 3 in terms of toughness. Simply put he can tank a lot of damage but I'd still say he's below people like Julius, Wakatsuki, and Seki who all took a lot more punishment and kept on going.

>"Removal" heightens the user's power and speed at the cost of precision
What the fuck? Since when? That was literally never mentioned about Removal. There was never the implication that it made the user less "precise" or they couldn't use martial arts effectively because of the power boost. We see the Kure using Removal and still fighting normally. Being an unga bunga retard was just a Raian thing that was never attributed to Removal itself, and even in that case we've seen Raian use Kure techniques while in Removal before.
Did Sandro genuinely get Removal confused with Ohma's Advance?

>>285807226

That's because they were still able to keep fighting. Masaki had to be killed. He was able to keep fighting all the way up to the point that Muteba stabbed his brain.

He was also only getting hit by Muteba who isn't exactly the top of the list for heavy hitters. Not even in the top 5. Let's see Masaki tank a blast core like Julius did and get back up because I actually doubt he would manage. Even if his pain is immediately overridden by pleasure, he's still only an above average human in terms of physique. He hasn't hit that level of superhuman.

>He was also only getting hit by Muteba who isn't exactly the top of the list for heavy hitters
Muteba wasn't using normal strikes though. Pretty much every hit Muteba landed was to a vital area or stuff that would put most other fighters out of commission for the rest of the fight or lead to a forfeit.
>gouged out his eye
>crushed his balls
>kicked him in the back of the head full force while being thrown (and didn't even knock him out)
Sure, Masaki isn't tanking a Blast Core or direct his from Julius, but no other fighter is either. I think you're downplaying Masaki's toughness and endurance a little too much here.
Also, it's not like Masaki himself is a bad fighter or weak. He's one of the heavier fighters in terms of physique and remember that he was also fast enough to instantly blitz Muteba and throw him to the ground before he could even react.
>>
>>
>>
>I keep reverting to my much weaker and slower base form just for more precision
Realistically this "power up" should be a debuff. Sandro should've make him able to switch from like 50% to 100% removal. Ohma only switched to non-advance mode because his body can't handle it

Nothing about this even makes sense. Removal has always been a straight up buff with zero mentioned downsides before this. It never lowered "precision" or what the fuck ever.
Being able to turn it on and off to save energy because it can't be used indefinitely would make sense. This is just nonsense and it sounds like Sandro got it confused with Advance like others have said.

Julius didn't have more strength than Waka. They literally say that the two were evenly matched.
But Julius had the advantage because he was bigger and had longer reach, which meant that he could hit Waka before Waka could hit him, with Blast Core also having limited range. That's why Waka had to fake him out and lure him in for the final shots.

i don't want to post images but Muteba still used regular strikes and blows against Meguro in their fight. His lethal ones started after he got thrown at round start and towards the finale.
>or direct his from Julius
Julius is as strong as normal Wakatsuki and Gozo could eat a headshot from Waka without being knocked out. I'm not downplaying Masaki, but the idea that he reached a threshold of toughness that required lethal measures isn't exactly uncommon if you're willing to be honest. Julius was absolutely trying to kill Wakatsuki with things like his final kicks and even the bear hug. Muteba was trying to kill Seki and Waka in their fights same as he did Meguro. So that doesn't mean that Masaki is the top 3 for resilience because he has to compete with Julius and Wakatsuki first who just have objectively better physical stats. And against Seki who ate shit against Takeru and still stayed up through most of it. (I don't think Meguro is immune to KO at all so Takeru's chin kick would probably have taken him out too.)
Muteba's style focusing on killing is by that metric just his normal style. And the eye gouge was unnecessary as the neck snap had already ended the fight. Muteba was just being thorough so it's not some silent admission that Masaki is a top 3 endurance character. I'd be willing to change my stance to him actually being 4 or 5 but that's the best I would do. But really he's a gimmick character.

This is an obvious retcon. It was already mentioned that when ohma is using the full advance he can't use the Niko style. But for Raian he can full release and still use Kure techniques as his family noted. This "loss of precision" is just another way to try and make this a significant powerup, even though I think removing the startup to the Release was itself sufficient. If anything, Eddie should have been killed because he undid his release or initiated it and Raian caught him in the gap. It would also make this powerup more significant since he'd be removing that weakness.

Raian rolled a mid carder and Cohma during one of his worst periods of schizophrenic breakdowns.
He'd have lost against most of Round 2's selection.
His most favorable matches are Cosmo, Saw Paing, and Sekibayashi. And maybe Hatsumi if he's still fucking around.
For sure, Muteba, Setsuna, Bando, Wakatsuki, Gaolang, Agito, and Kuroki were beyond him.
He'd probably lose more often than he'd win against Akoya, Julius, and Rei.

It's frustrating because there was some interesting history implied between Gaoh Mukaku, the Nikos, and the Kure on the "inside". The way it seems, Gaoh either created or assimilated the advance into the style but it wasn't picked up by Tokita Niko, but was taken in by Tiger Niko. Tiger Niko then uses it as a way to weaken Ohma's Niko and along with Genzan deliver a coup de grace eliminating Tokita and leaving Tiger, Rengo, Ohma, and Setsuna the last surviving niko style users.
Discounting the bullshit writing in Omega, there's ample room to explain what the Kure were doing in the Inside, and why Niko would run afoul of them.

He just wasn't able too until that last moment. he tried before and Gaolang punished him for it so he had to fake him out by pretending he had lost control of his limbs and then land 3 headshots against Gaolang to create that necessary window to switch from a blow to a tackle.

He is. Even in Omega, his only legitimate claim to not being trash is his "record" with Ohma which feels very disingenuous given Ohma was on a recovery period at that time and by Purgatory onward he just always shows better feats than Raian. Edward doesn't count because what happened there can only be called divine intervention.

Cosmo is a good matchup against him due to Raian's ridiculously high offensive focus so he'd just get Zone'd and that's that. Saw Paing has the titanium skeleton with the super titanium head so it's not like he'd have an easy time brawling him.

The issue for Cosmo is that Raian has pure retard strength to just rip out of his holds, and unlike Akoya prefers quick kills to dragged out torture.
Saw Paing can't hurt Raian. Being able to take a lot of punishment doesn't change that he's not very strong offensively (outside of his telegraphed headbutt).

>>285811315
>The issue for Cosmo is that Raian has pure retard strength to just rip out of his holds
He actually doesn't. Cosmo is a special case where you can't just ooga booga rip out of holds. Even Akoya couldn't do it, Cosmo left it because Akoya's grip strength was intense enough to pierce with his fingers so he reacted from the pain but Cosmo later dealt with even more pain and still clutched it anyway after he "evolved". Even Sandro says that shit would work on Julius or Haruo (both stronger than Raian btw). Once Cosmo got him into a Python Hold, Akoya's arms couldn't do shit.
>Saw Paing isn't very strong offensively
How could anyone say this with a straight face? You had another guy known for his high offense unload dozens of blows upon Karo (bigger and bulkier than Kiozan by the way) and do absolutely nothing, meanwhile a single punch from Saw has him reeling. His headbutt isn't even highly telegraphed and he used it strategically with Rei anyway (who even when blocking got his bones cracked from just a single strike each).
>>285811403
Raian can't actually do that. Not to mention wrong about Raian's character.
>prefers quick kills
He wouldn't have used Mokichi like a punching bag if that was the case.
>the moment the tries the Zone nonsense
You're forgetting the time Adam, who is no where near as much of as an offense focused retard like Raian, got put in a fucking genjutsu after he got KO'd from a triangle hold?

This looks so fucking bad. There's absolutely nothing visually going on to suggest that pre-initiative is happening here without basedjak Seki informing you of what we're supposed to think. It literally just looks like the punch got pulled like he said, there's nothing indicating that Raian had already got himself out of range by the time the punch was thrown(I'm ASSUMING that's what supposedly happened here?)
Just awful. What the fuck are we even doing here.

Nothing. Sandro/ChatGPT forgot, this isn't exactly rare these days. The weakness of removal was that it exacted a huge toll on your stamina, and you'd hurt yourself if you cranked it up higher than your body could handle. Not once in this entire manga of countless pages and fights between purple vein bulging freaks was it EVER a SINGLE FUCKING TIME implied that this was the case before this. If it nerfs your precision, why was Wu Xing the finesse assassin guy using it for his sneak attack stab on Eddie? Why did Howard activate it specifically on the arm he was using his super silent swordsmanship with?
It's utter nonsense, even the average fucking retard here or on reddit knows Sandro's "worldbuilding" better than him at this point.

Raian's removal may as well be it's own thing entirely since he's the only one who benefits from it

That's exactly what I'd call it. There was zero advantage to Goku increasing his power level for a brief instant against the Ginyu Force. It didn't make him hit harder or do anything for that matter. If he just stayed his regular base power level he'd have done everything the same.

Protag got to the finals after beating Joji by sheer dumb luck, then lost to Sandro's Yujiro parody strongest mongoloid guy.

You will go insane trying to make sense of loose hanging plot threads in Omega. Shit just sort of happens for hype moments, aura, and pointless mystery boxes. Very little of the set up in this story has pay-off, and if it does it's usually lame like the Nicolas reveal.

Wasn't Mokichi Robinson like the 3rd best Kengan Fighter record around and was considered to be one of the likely candidates to win. He was, at least as far as the established fighers, right alongside Wakatsuki and Kanoh. Even Erioh expected him to beat Raian but he thought Raian would be keeping Removal under wraps and not using it to jerk off Lihito in the bathroom. The guy was a genuine monster who ran into a bigger fish.
Mokichi and Nezumi are my two fighters who I wager are much stronger than they were shown. Nezumi for one had a kick faster than Gaolangs strikes, a character KNOWN for his lightning fast strikes, while also having a build on par with Kanoh. He just took the wrong play by taking a low stance against Rei's blitz and got KO'd before getting to fight.
Nikaido Ren for another, initially looks like he was jobbing to Setsuna, but after the reveal of how Fallen Demon works, shows that no, he actually just killed him in one combo but the guy was running a Focus-Sash-Endeavour-Quick-Attack build.
I guess that's what I like about Kengan, even the "Jobbers" are valid monsters in their own ability.

Well Satan, pretty much everyone dies to Bando in R2 without foreknowledge of his whip arm attack. Then even if you know it's coming, not everyone will be able to react or mitigate the damage since Bando favored headshots but even his body blows are lethal. Getting hit is not a real option so "hard" defenses are a liability compared to Sen's redirection.

I FUCKING HATE WHEN SANDROBITCH DOES THIS.
THIS CHARACTER BIO PAGE WASN'T WRITTEN BY A FAN OF THE SERIES WHO HAS NO INSIGHT INTO WHAT GOES ON IN THE WRITER'S HEAD.
THIS IS THE WRITER HIMSELF WRITING THIS GODDAMN BIO.
HE KNOWS WHY XIN WORE A MASK IN HIS INITIAL APPEAARANCE. IT'S NOT A MYSTERY. HE DOESN'T NEED TO SPECULATE WITH A "PROBABLY".

Howard should have replaced Eddie and even if he didn't agree with his brother, he should have done so out of familial obligation. Holy fuck Sandro writes much more interesting characters and just kills them off for the worst replacements.

>>
>>285834755
Well, the humor doesn't fucking work, because these bios serve as easy ways for Sandrobitch to answer mysteries for characters that didn't get any closure in the actual story (and for super minor characters like Howard Wu that likely will never, ever appear in the manga again, it's especially important to resolve these mysteries, since these bios are likely the last time these minor characters will ever appear in Omega ever), but because Sandrobitch is chronically addicted to being mysterious, instead of providing extra insight in these bios, he just piles on even more mysteries and leaves things needlessly ambiguous.

These pages makes me want to see all these fights without the constant whooshing and speed lines and impact visual effects and stuff. The art is shit but I think it might actually look better still.
>>285817545
That's one of the funniest parts about this whole fight. I said it last week too after Gaolang blocked another punch. A fully wound up 100% removal punch from a character that literally every single fucking character and their mother sucks off for being oh so strong and dangerous and insane and Gaolang just goes "I mean I guess it hurts". Sure, it's not a secret Kure technique or anything, which as we all know means the punch does 300 bazillion percent more damage, this one is just a good old fashioned punch, but still. It's hilarious.
>>
>>285807903
>>285807923
I don't know who the fuck to trust here. Was it preinitiation? Did Gaolang pull his punch? Did Raian just dodge and talk shit because that's entirely reasonable for him to do? Literally 4 fucking people involved, including Sandro, and I can't trust all fucking four of them.
Actually, am I reading it wrong? Is Seki saying it was Gaolang that used preinitiative to pull his punch? Like it's the Colour of Observation? I'm so confused and I don't even know if it's my fault or not any more.
>>
>>285835130
I assume that gaolang was using pre-initiative to check raians movements going forward but I don't know why he pulled his punch since gaolang doesn't seem to be the person who likes to simply show off.
>>
>>285808072
Another case of telepathic communication here with Seki and Gaolang both talking about how Raian has "evolved".
>>285808903
>>285809615
The initial subversion was always that Gaolang would win because it's the more unlikeliest of cases which means it no long was the initial subversion in the first place which means Raian winning would be the actual subversion but of course it's Sandro which means it's back to Gaolang winning.
The real subversion would be the fight actually ending and not getting interrupted.By Lolong.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>285835198
Yeah, I can't really figure out why Gaolang would pull his punch there or why he would even use pre-initiative to do so it. And if it's the other way and it's Raian using pre-initiative then it's a bit less confusing I guess but still confusing because of his dialogue. In my head it's exactly like how Luffy pulled his punch because he thought Mihawk would lop them off because that's kinda how I thought pre-initiative worked but that makes no sense in this scenario.
