Can't express how glad I am that they're just sticking with Takeda's fight, at this point I'm thinking double KO, at least it looks like Ogata's staying out of it for the most part.

I do hope that the other fights gets as much attention because this is just freaking intense. And Takeda has the standard problem of not knowing how to react when his enemy's obviously evil but strangely polite master give him a compliment.

If Takeda survives, he's SO getting kidnapped.

[Daemon]

wait so the glowy eyes means they're using their ki?

So how come Kenichi's eyes don't glow when he's using Seikuken?

[Holy Spirit]

I can understand Takeda being concerned about whether Lugh lives or dies..... being a user of the Fist of Life and all that.


But... it seems.... extreme to hope that the guy who just tried to kill you will get stronger after his loss to you. I could understand Takeda saying that if Lugh changed his ways first but as it stands he's still the same guy who just tried to kill you.

I thought that was weird.

New chapter out.

Epic ending to the Takeda/Lugh fight. Nice idea to make the clinch the thing that turned the tide.

And apparently Ogata is so nice that he won't kill Lugh or kidnapp Takeda. What a nice evil martial arts scientist.

It's releasing their chi. Releasing as in just going all out with it.

Kenichi uses chi when he does Seikuken but he doesn't release it. Like how Takeda's eyes didn't glow when he was using the Warp Punch for the first few times.

[Kage Kisaragi]

guessed the grapple/clinch-lockup thing the moment lugh estimated the possibility of it. At that point i figured he'd make him submit or make him blackout because of the extra pressure put on the broken ribs and pelvis, did not see the liver punch thing coming.

Takeda with the big win! Great fight all around, always love when the secondary characters get a chance to shine. Now the question is will any of the other fights live up to it?

The Berserker/Kenichi fight better not disappoint.

Ogata not disposing of Lugh means Ogata is less evil than Jenazaad.

Ogata's reaction amused me.

I dont know. Hey may be more evil in how he manipulates and experiments on his pupils at great physical and/or psychological risk to them.

[FalconX2000]

Is it wrong that I kind of want Deigo to win?

Diego, personality-wise, has been the most entertaining Yomi master for me. It's a blast watching him chew scenery. Lives up to what he's supposed to do for the readers too, I guess. :D

Agaard is actually kind of awesome.

While some members of Yami are actual douchebags, Agaard is just looking for a good fight.

Heck, he even respects Apachai and acknowledges that Katsujinken has caused him to evolve.

In comparison, I find Agaard to be the best written master antagonist, from my sensibilities as a writer.

Who are people's favroite supporting caste member outside of the masters? Kisara kind of stole my heart from the near start.

This depends on whether Haruo Nijima is currently running away from somebody.

Ogata not disposing of Lugh means Ogata is less evil than Jenazaad.

Ogata's reaction amused me.

I dont know Ogata states that when fighters compete on such a level as Lugh and Takeda did and lose they give up on their life as a Martial Artist, this carried a undertone that simply put sounds worse than Death too a true martial artist. It's like giving up the one thing you love the most in life, you're not quite the same afterwards.

[Eternal Torment]

Dammit, Lugh. You forgot that shounen protagonists don't step back when they're in a position where they have to apply all of their willpower for a final attack.
