It took 240 chapters, but now I feel like the story is returning back to a better vibe. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ The rest before it felt like a ton of exposition thrown at us since it's all new characters while building on old ones. I dont care for a lot of them but the story masters at making them unforgettable even after not reading for 6 months.
Also as weird as the plot is, it's not overcomplicated so it's easy to understand everyone's motivations. Although Tiger-cloning jiminy cricket-brain plot is a rehash of the final villain with the multiple personalities disorder trope but more chilled. Like it was still a surprise ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ but kinda thought mangakas abandoned that trope past 2020 so like even more of a surprise I guess.
But anyway, Justin is super cute. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

Honestly this is a really well written story if we focus only on the two protagonists and no one else. I do get a bit bored at some parts, even if they are essential for the plot (like who's that blue hair guy again lol), do not like that the younger brother is in love with his sister and how the adopted parents don't realize how disgusting and difficult it would be for Lariette to change her mindset to properly marry a guy who she saw as a brother her whole life. Like she grew up as a common woman, not in the monarchy where you're brainwashed to think incest to this level is okay. Growing up as maybe like cousins might be pushing it but as siblings is where you gotta draw the line. And I honestly don't care for Tori. Her death in the previous timeline is more interesting than her immortal-loli-assassin thing going on. Like I lost all interest once her true nature was revealed because she's a walking edgy 80s-90s shoujo trope. I mean this whole manwha seems to be a modern 80s-90s edgy shoujo trope.

My brain really did need to transition from the Baki vibe to Street Fighter vibe to get with this sequel (  ̄□ ̄||). But I can't take any of it seriously or have fun either. They story did get interesting when they went to Ohma's childhood home, but everything else feels all over the place and I've been disappointed in the fight matches. They should've tried to cut down on characters and certain matches, and put them into specials like Kengan 0. Not because they're uninteresting, but because it feels that they're either slowing down or forcing the plot to rush to compensate for something. ( ̄ε(# ̄)Σ

ikr? personally i would have liked for kengan asura to just stay as it is without the omega sequel. it felt much more well structured and even tho it's story wasn't something phenomenal it was still a fun ride and ohma's passing still stays in my mind as one of the most beautiful deaths I've seen. the visual of the sun setting symbolizing his life ending still brings tears to my eyes.
it was an amazing end for such a character.
but then.... omega happened...like.........why? i mean i guess it kinda expanded on the story of ohma's master but other than that the addition of the whole clones and the connector makes no sense to me.
tbh im just sticking around for that final showdown they mentioned they will organize because they said "all underground fighting associations will take place" and as being hinted plenty of times before, kengan and baki happen in the same universe and im just waiting for my lil short king to come in, obliterate everyone and give an end to this mess of a story.
also i have this funny headcannon that yujiro has no idea the connector exists and someone casually goes to him, points at jackie and yujiro just demolishes him then and there.
Every time I come to the comments, I'm always surprised by everyone's innocence ヾ(❀╹◡╹). The story is crazy, but for how the characters react, the mindset makes sense after listening to a lot of real life korean crime stories and their class system.
Yeah. The story is meant to be dark and uncomfortable. I guess people have forgotten that there are stories written with dark topics and that doesn't mean it reflects the actual mindset of the author.
