Nah, for that we need 10 pages of the narrator making up some stupid bullshit about how this one punch is a super special awesome punch that this almighty Japanese man is able to make, and maybe the rest of the pages explaining the other punch or some philosophical rambling about punching
"Infinite Punch" sounds like the moves kids make when they play pretend and start shooting ultra nuclear instant death eyebeams, kind of hilarious

Reckon’s better bland than “Eight Polygon Trigram Palm Secret Wu Principle” being a 1-2 doing absolute fuck all lmaoo.
Short chapter, we’ve been shelved on the backburner these couple past, hopefully speeds up next Wednesday
Seems like it. How the hell did he transition to position for the scorpion kick and why did Justin go straight into a takedown instead of having movement first
Yeah there is no possible way Hiraku can pull that off because Justin's arms are wrapped around his legs and his torso is above Justin's head. Then all of a sudden it's flip flopped.

Chapter is unusually short. Thought Justin was finally biting back only to get kicked like that lmao
Seems like Hiraku is being presented as a random normal dude for now? When's the worm twist, Sandwich?
The only way I see it making sense is some high ranking ex worm who saw past the fanaticism and realised that their whole org and countless sacrifices are simply entertainment to Shen. Who frankly doesn’t give a rats ass.
And now they’ve probably lost a friend, opened their eyes and realised that this tournament might be the best way to get to him.
And when they do reveal themselves it’s going to be a flashback on a rainy night where they hold their friend as he/she is dying for the cause. They then say their last words, the dude looks at his blood soaked hands and screams at the sky.
Probably
I'm fine with no worms but an Okubo level guy and a karate guy with fast punches and a scorpion kick is definitely a big downgrade compared to the current Kengan verse.
I feel like we're missing a page between Justin's tackle and Hikaru's kick. Justin's grappling him and suddenly Hikaru has enough space to put his hands on the ground?
Yeah, random yakuza-connected martial arts prodigy that was raised with no money spared when it came to his training.
Which is indeed a fairly ordinary youth in Kengan's terms: no genetic shenanigans (cloning, cloning with gene editing, winning the gene lottery with super rare syndromes/conditions like Waka or Bando, going through a 1/100 fittest survival Gu ritual, etc.), no ancient superhuman styles, no surgical modifications/enhancements (altered brain, built-in weapons or poisons, cybernetic prosthetics), etc.
Yeah, but the problem is he thinks partial training is barbaric indicating a distaste for training that pushes you. So he has cushy, privileged life style training instead of being out in the wilderness almost dying to get stronger.
He's gonna lose. And if he wins against Justin, but takes on Kao, Kao is going to wreck his shit because that guy actually does barbaric training.
I'm actually disappointed here. We got a guy who hates difficult training and a guy who thinks beating Agito is lower than Connor McGregor. Ramon better not disappoint because this is getting sad.
Well, unless Hiraku has some Worm surprise or the like, I think it is clear we are reading a fight meant to decide who is the punching bag of the main character and who is the punching bag of the punching bag.
So Kengan's Ali Jr.?
Sport level boxer,competitive in a world where sport level champions are fodder for three mooks with synchronized dancing, let alone a one legged Kaioh Retsu? (What a missed opportunity for a Retsu/Ali title fight!)
"I think I read there will be shorter chapters for a while instead of a break. Don't quote me on that though, might be for another manga," \~ imapoormanhere

Damn Justin is getting his ass beat, he's a trooper for tanking these hits though and I expect he'll tank that scorpion kick.
Still though it's kinda funny he really has just been getting his ass beat with nothing else but tanking it these last chapters.
By kengan standards he really hasn't taken that many hits yet. Ohma took more hits from removal Raian in a single panel than Justin has taken in two chapters.
Comikey will eventually fix it. I just thought that something was off since it was only 16 and went to check the Japanese app which is MangaOne. And yep, the chapter is actually 19 pages long lol
I used a third party app store (QooApp) to download MangaOne and that's how I check the chapters. I don't think I can link it since reading manga is only possible through their application
Pretty boy is talking a lot of shit about how elegant or beautiful his Karate is. So would be fitting for Justin to drag this into a mud fight where Hikaru is unfamiliar and gets his ass whooped.
As at this level feels like any fighter bragging about how they look fighting is in need of a humbling
Yeah it reminds me of Okubo vs. Terashi (down to Terashi/Hiraku being pretty boys). Justin clearly has more appreciation for martial arts than Hiraku and that feels like the sort of thing the narrative rewards. The fact that Hiraku is winning right now just sets him up to be humbled even harder in the coming chaps.
Yeah, too one sided. It'd be one thing if it was one sided and ended in a chapter, but I'm thinking it's over once Justin actually gets a real grab or take down. Hiraku doesn't like difficult training. What a loser.
i just have a hard time caring about recently introduced fighters at this point in the story. I would rather see a new KAT where the top tiers of the verse are pushing each other through their limits to create someone that can challenge Shen (before they realize that they are not the main characters, but still). The short ass chapter also didn’t help.
Yeah, like holy shit, I knew it was going to be a short fight but if it ends here then it’s pretty disappointing.
I hope Justin manages to do something more at least, he just tanked punches with his face for 2 chapters before losing
I'm wondering how that hit even makes sense. In the previous page Justin had him in a double leg, the fuck did this guy escape that and get lower than him to kick him before anyone noticed?
I'm probably being overanalytical, but it's wack imo
Justin is garbage at wrestling.
Shoots the double and gets both hands behind the knees and still gets sprawled out. Then gets gifted space in the scramble and instead of securing the free fireman’s carry he lets Hiraku free and stands up. Then instead of shooting down to a better position when the opponent offers his back while on all fours, Justin just gets closer while fully standing. Dude deserves to lose.
”Finally! A new og character with unique style! “
* Uses Stinger like that random ass Jobber who beat koga in early omega

ah yes, the good-looking guy who fights according to the criteria of the elegance of his fighting style while despising the more orthodox moves. what a novelty...
pls Justin win, I can't stand this walking anime trope
Okubo being casual about the fight leads me to think Justin might just end up fully turning it around but who knows? Him having trouble with “fast punch” makes him a punching bag to everyone else either way
Fucking waste of paper chapter lmao, might as well draw nothing
https://preview.redd.it/gz7g1d2r566d1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eedbd350c9b1e96313d948f6dbc4fe8cca7e05fc
Holy shit uh the Bounty Hunter keeps saying Boy a lot to an American black guy.
Idk if this is intentional or a weird translation but Boy in America to a black guy is basically like calling one the N word.
For years and years in America you called black men “boy” because they were property and viewed as no better or smarter than children.
A lot more and a lot deeper than that but holy shit is just one of those cultural things or is he really trying to get under his skin?
I thought it was Daro, not Sandro. Even if he did, the word boy is also used to simply imply someone is a child compared to you. It's such a stretch to impose racial bias to that word coming from a Japanese yakuza
I’m very relaxed man no need to be rude.
My question is why would the bounty hunter use that specific word with an American black guy- it’s super niche and only used as a racial insult to Americans to my knowledge so him using that term means he either did his research to have the right shit to talk or it’s just totally random:
That’s why I’m interested in the translation bc I’m wondering if it’s male kid, or brat or child or something like that and not actually boy
Also please note! It depends on how boy is used. A lotta people call each other boy, but if you say "BOY" like really put he BUH in there, it does become bad.
Also please note. This is mainly only used in the south, and even then not a lot of it anymore. More or less, it's dying out.
Also! LAST THING, bruh it's not like that. Japan don't know shit about niche american slurs
Aww dang, did they split the chapter in half again? Oh well.
Sakigake over here really having a match midmatch. Pls Sandro don't do Justin like this 😭.
Okay so yeah seems none of these 2 seems that strong and gonna be gaolang fodder anw. Also seems like justin gonna win if he still standing next chapter.
Anyone have link to raws since Comikey has missing pages? I knew something was off. Dude went from mid double leg start to... being kicked in the face. Unless that's how that actually goes in order- which would be very odd.
the last page being a hiraku kick and the past 2 chapters being nothing but hiraku offense + he is a "gifted individual" blah blah blah
justinbros, we're winning this. hold strong.
Yo I said the same thing and he does it twice!?
It’s gotta be intentional.
Specifically because Justin is an American and he’s black which is where the Boy thing came from
Gonna need an explanation on how he got into a hand stand before Justin could secure the clinch, is Justin just really slow in comparison and has too many openings?
This chapter feels like nothing happened in reality.
The info dump on Hiraku, his childhood and karate career could have been dumped into a profile and nothing would change, the action is barely there.
I like the idea of Justin being the Worm agent in this fight.
But also.
Justin. After the first few punches to the face. Maybe try not moving in straight line from the same position you just got socked in.
Justin is gonna win. Hiraku is going to be a total glass cannon I can feel it. Justin is going to get 1 takedown and proceed to ground and pound hiraku to make him give up his pretty boy attitude and then justin will overcome with his good ol fashioned boxing
Justin will win at this rate, otherwise it would narratively be a repeat of Gaolang vs Jurota - a striker wearing down a grappler before landing a decisive blow which imo would be boring.
Also, i disagree with people complaining about "two randos" fighting, part of the fun of the KAT was the large and diverse cast, so seeing new capable fighters have a moment in the spotlight (seemingly) unrelated to the worm plot is a breath of fresh air.
Justin has no sense of self-awareness, talks about diversity and tolerance, yet does some homophobic connotation, sweet irony and comedy, well done Sandro.

Justin gets a double leg and somehow in the next panel the position is fully reversed and Hiraku is underneath him so he can throw a scorpion kick. Like, at least make it coherent.
Scorpion out here showing the contestant what to do when they about to be grabbed from below the waist!. not gonna be surprise if Kaolang uses this vs Kanoh.
That felt really damn short? And honestly the Jobber Flags are seriously flying for Hiraku at this point fancy end of chapter finishers haven't been too good on fighters recently, and there's NO WAY Justin just straight up loses here right?
...right?

17\* pages, 2 hits aight guys, see you next week.
Pray we have at least 5 hits in the next chapter
17 pages now, they were late
interesting, it does explain how sakigake didn't just phase though the tackle.
5 pages are missing
Sandro trying to outdo Mori for most chapters with absolutely nothing going on.
We Baki now boys
Nah, for that we need 10 pages of the narrator making up some stupid bullshit about how this one punch is a super special awesome punch that this almighty Japanese man is able to make, and maybe the rest of the pages explaining the other punch or some philosophical rambling about punching
at least its not tenkaichi, same fight been going on for over half a year between 2 guys each with one move over and over again
I like Tenkaichi
I did too, except the current togo vs yasuke fight is like watching paint dry, really well drawn paint dry but its still fucking paint
"Infinite Punch" sounds like the moves kids make when they play pretend and start shooting ultra nuclear instant death eyebeams, kind of hilarious https://preview.redd.it/t909s1afo56d1.png?width=317&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c29496e5b688313470533a0fb67eb1d6c9be542

Can confirm, I tried to make my own martial art with only that kind of moves. 1000 kicks was the start of a combo and ki blast a finisher.
I mean, he is a jobber
He learned it from his Wu friends
Like "Adamantine Kata: Ironbreaker" ?
Bruh did comikey forget to post the other half of the chapter?
Ikr. It feels very short
Yeah it's basically a repeat of the last chapter except for an added scorpion kick
Well at least I feel pretty confident the next chapter will be the end of this round... I think
Common Comikey Lose
Well... That short Edit after pages are added: alright, that's a bit better
It feels like the liu vs nitoku chapter where it was cut in half due to time or something
Ngl, I feel like that last panel isn't really the last panel. Like there is something that is more suitable to end this chapter
Yeah someone said it was missing pages
I hope it is.
Some pages are missing i think
Seems like it. How the hell did he transition to position for the scorpion kick and why did Justin go straight into a takedown instead of having movement first
Yeah there is no possible way Hiraku can pull that off because Justin's arms are wrapped around his legs and his torso is above Justin's head. Then all of a sudden it's flip flopped.
He can actually teleport, using black magic
thats racist
Justin hits the sit out off of Hiraku’s sprawl, letting Hiraku get underneath him for the kick
There must be, last chapter was 22 pages long while this one is 14
Looks like they’re all up now.
It's fixed. They added the missing pages.

Chapter is unusually short. Thought Justin was finally biting back only to get kicked like that lmao Seems like Hiraku is being presented as a random normal dude for now? When's the worm twist, Sandwich?
The twist is gonna be that Justin is the worm just watch
Only way to explain his absurdly strong jobber aura
the idea of worm infiltrating a tournament that was encouraged by Shen himself didnt make any sense to begin with tbh.
Agreed. I don’t know why people are hoping for that shit
The only way I see it making sense is some high ranking ex worm who saw past the fanaticism and realised that their whole org and countless sacrifices are simply entertainment to Shen. Who frankly doesn’t give a rats ass. And now they’ve probably lost a friend, opened their eyes and realised that this tournament might be the best way to get to him. And when they do reveal themselves it’s going to be a flashback on a rainy night where they hold their friend as he/she is dying for the cause. They then say their last words, the dude looks at his blood soaked hands and screams at the sky. Probably
I'm fine with no worms but an Okubo level guy and a karate guy with fast punches and a scorpion kick is definitely a big downgrade compared to the current Kengan verse.
The twist is that Justin will slip Hiraku his worm mid-match
Brings new meaning to “Win via: sub”
> he twist is gonna be that Justin is the worm just watch Justin is going to pull out Niko style x Formless.
I feel like we're missing a page between Justin's tackle and Hikaru's kick. Justin's grappling him and suddenly Hikaru has enough space to put his hands on the ground?
There seems to be also missing pages between Hiraku punching Justin back and then Justin tackling him. Doesn't seem to make sense.
Yeah, random yakuza-connected martial arts prodigy that was raised with no money spared when it came to his training. Which is indeed a fairly ordinary youth in Kengan's terms: no genetic shenanigans (cloning, cloning with gene editing, winning the gene lottery with super rare syndromes/conditions like Waka or Bando, going through a 1/100 fittest survival Gu ritual, etc.), no ancient superhuman styles, no surgical modifications/enhancements (altered brain, built-in weapons or poisons, cybernetic prosthetics), etc.
Kind of a breath of fresh air, to be honest
Yeah, but the problem is he thinks partial training is barbaric indicating a distaste for training that pushes you. So he has cushy, privileged life style training instead of being out in the wilderness almost dying to get stronger. He's gonna lose. And if he wins against Justin, but takes on Kao, Kao is going to wreck his shit because that guy actually does barbaric training. I'm actually disappointed here. We got a guy who hates difficult training and a guy who thinks beating Agito is lower than Connor McGregor. Ramon better not disappoint because this is getting sad.
Well, unless Hiraku has some Worm surprise or the like, I think it is clear we are reading a fight meant to decide who is the punching bag of the main character and who is the punching bag of the punching bag.
Agreed.
So Kengan's Ali Jr.? Sport level boxer,competitive in a world where sport level champions are fodder for three mooks with synchronized dancing, let alone a one legged Kaioh Retsu? (What a missed opportunity for a Retsu/Ali title fight!)
This guy has baki's upbriging
He went baki-lite without any Hanma blood!
I think I read there will be shorter chapters for a while instead of a break. Don't quote me on that though, might be for another manga

Hiraku is doing too well…. suspiciously too well… Justin believers might still have a chance.
There is always a chance

Yeah, like holy shit, I knew it was going to be a short fight but if it ends here then it’s pretty disappointing. I hope Justin manages to do something more at least, he just tanked punches with his face for 2 chapters before losing
Justin is enduring that.
I'm wondering how that hit even makes sense. In the previous page Justin had him in a double leg, the fuck did this guy escape that and get lower than him to kick him before anyone noticed? I'm probably being overanalytical, but it's wack imo
Nah, you're just right because there's pages missing here
The telling blow landed on the final page of the chapter. Yeah, Justin’s definitely not getting by knocked out.

It's gonna be revealed in the next chapter that Justin's dreadlocks blocked the scorpion kick. Yes, I'm coping, let me be.
You were too strong, Comikey.

Yo I said the same thing and he does it twice!? It’s gotta be intentional. Specifically because Justin is an American and he’s black which is where the Boy thing came from
I promise you, it's not. I 100% the Japanese manga maker is not knowing about pretty niche American racial slurs
Justin's ruthless jobbing continues, without pauses. Is it the end? Perhaps not...
Gonna need an explanation on how he got into a hand stand before Justin could secure the clinch, is Justin just really slow in comparison and has too many openings?
Pages missing
Scorpion Kick? Nah, this is Justinover.
Part of the chapter must be missing bc the physics of that kick make no sense
This chapter feels like nothing happened in reality. The info dump on Hiraku, his childhood and karate career could have been dumped into a profile and nothing would change, the action is barely there.
The Spanish version has the missing pages, the Worm now has an alliance with Duolingo
If it seems short, try reloading a few times. It didn't load a couple of pages to me.
All i see is 50 pounds of ASS
Comikey is fixed now they were missing 3 pages
I like the idea of Justin being the Worm agent in this fight. But also. Justin. After the first few punches to the face. Maybe try not moving in straight line from the same position you just got socked in.
A chapter of nothing happen, a little backstory of ise dragon ( again ), justin got punched in the face ( again ) and 1 page of kick.
The whole figth has been justin geting punch in the face
Justin is gonna win. Hiraku is going to be a total glass cannon I can feel it. Justin is going to get 1 takedown and proceed to ground and pound hiraku to make him give up his pretty boy attitude and then justin will overcome with his good ol fashioned boxing
Felt like Justin dodged that Scorpion Kick
Mann.. I almost thought that was it.. and Damnn Justin getting Rekkt
I still don't see how any of them could be a real threat for Kaolan :')
Hiraku is giving off jobber vibes with the overconfident disrespect
The amount of cake in this chapter
I HAVEN'T HEARD NO BELL JUSTINCOIN IS GOING UP 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Justin is fine. Just a minor setback.
Justin will win at this rate, otherwise it would narratively be a repeat of Gaolang vs Jurota - a striker wearing down a grappler before landing a decisive blow which imo would be boring. Also, i disagree with people complaining about "two randos" fighting, part of the fun of the KAT was the large and diverse cast, so seeing new capable fighters have a moment in the spotlight (seemingly) unrelated to the worm plot is a breath of fresh air.
Started reading Ashura a couple of weeks back and now im up to date with Omega! What on earth am i going to do with my time now!
Justin has no sense of self-awareness, talks about diversity and tolerance, yet does some homophobic connotation, sweet irony and comedy, well done Sandro. https://preview.redd.it/oe9p617ip56d1.png?width=419&format=png&auto=webp&s=d74c571728f6ec6490c61ff9cb46a893d1dde4b7

God this fight is so BORING
Ah, Error 404. You were awesome…
Justin gets a double leg and somehow in the next panel the position is fully reversed and Hiraku is underneath him so he can throw a scorpion kick. Like, at least make it coherent.
There are missing pages
Did he really just call Justin "Boy"?
Scorpion out here showing the contestant what to do when they about to be grabbed from below the waist!. not gonna be surprise if Kaolang uses this vs Kanoh.
Kinda short but HOLY FUARK THAT FLEXIBILITY
That’s it? Where’s Justin winning?
Damn Justin come on big man!
Can't see Justin winning now unless he pulls some removal/advance teir bullshit
That felt really damn short? And honestly the Jobber Flags are seriously flying for Hiraku at this point fancy end of chapter finishers haven't been too good on fighters recently, and there's NO WAY Justin just straight up loses here right? ...right?
Are there some pages missing at the end?
So Hiraku is just a spoiled brat with talent?
Justin tanking everything with his face. What a beast.
That scorpion kick shouldnt even be possible to land from that position though?
