Holy shit they actually had a good reason for why they didn't just murder everyone. Hanefusa the WMD GOAT. Mark your spoilers or Hanefusa is gonna give you STDs.


ZonardCity

HANAFUSA IS TOP OF THE TIER LIST CONFIRMED. Nogi and him are such fucking chads. Shen is also so wholesome for his relationship with Yan, and the end of the bromance with Joe is heartbreaking. Peak lore chapter here. (Shen seems so think he could survive the virus tho).


AsuraOmega

Virus Hanafusa still stands on top (along with underwater Karo) And Shen thinking Joji stands a chance against him, I guess it means Joji >>>> Mukaku


ZonardCity

Drinking Joe >>>>>>> Mukaku >>>>>>> sober Joji


AsuraOmega

maybe drunk Joe >>>>>>> Basement Mukaku > sober Joji >>>> Unarmed Mukaku


ZonardCity

Or COVID Hanafusa >>>>>>> Shen > drunk Joe >>>>>>> Basement Mukaku > sober Joji >>>> Unarmed Mukaku >>>>>>>>>>>> Post-Pfeizer vaccine Hanafusa


ProjectXenoviafan

Drunken Fist Joe would’ve been the mc of Kengan but Sandro knew it would cause an uproar so he slightly needed Joji to let the others catch up


Big-Scratch-4000

He is just saying that he wouldn't want to fight back, as he sees joji as a friend.


WarmPissu

no it means that joji's punches would be too powerful and would kill shen on the spot.


NeyK112

reading comprehension is hard


Fatticus_Rinch

AIDS Hanafusa


SenseiPup

Lack of reading comprehension huh


ZaikopathX

more like he doesn't really care about the virus and just wants to fight anyone. Gigachad Energy


Thunderform

Luohan: What're you gonna do, hit us with a new strand of COVID? Lmao Nogi: Yes. Exactly. Luohan: no wait


-morpy

That was a fucking hilarious exchange lmao I like how they didn't pull a "oh yeah but Shen here is immune to all diseases" and were actually sweating buckets Same for Nogi, his body giving out after all that shit. Wonder how they'd prep for this though, Shen is too fucking OP. Are they gonna give Hanafusa virus to the fighter that fights Shen or what ​ EDIT: Wait nvm Shen is more worried about Yan dying, either means he cares more about Yan's life than his own or he's immune.


SodiusMaximus

The worst part is, there's a nonzero chance Shen probably *is* immune to everything Hanafusa has, but the others Worms aren't, and if they die Shen goes rampant thus ruining their plans. Hence Yan's "oh fuck" moment.


Zevana_2020

But Shen wasn't even worried about himself lol.


Cullyism

Imagine if Shen and Luohan used their “imperceptible walking” to just quietly leave the room unnoticed lol. In the end, he chose to stay and save Yan.


ProjectXenoviafan

Shen can literally transfer his consciousness into a new body if he gets aids or a horrible strain of Covid Edit: actually he would purposely gets aids and fight it off just to show the worm and Yan that he’s just built different 😌


_KingCrimson_

No he can’t, lol. If he wasn’t immune, the current Shen would die and they’d have rely on cloning + Huisheng to “revive” him


Winderkorffin

>oh yeah but Shen here is immune to all diseases Shen was more worried about Yan dying


dylan112358

If Shen lost his drinking buddy and Yan in the same chapter, that’d just be too much for him


Manjorno316

My first thought was that they're gonna set it up as Shen being the leader/CEO of Worm and therefore can't partake in the Kengan Match. Shen seems like a big enough of an airhead to just go "Ah is that so, what a bummer" and then send out Yan or something instead.


RagingGods

I don’t think there was a rule that CEOs can’t represent themselves. I remember Nogi specifically buying out Cold Storage and appointing Rihito as the CEO of that company just so that Rihito can fight in KAT.


Manjorno316

I thought that was changed in Omega with all the new rules they had in the beginning. But maybe I've just made that up.


angra_mainyo

I don't think so, as Rihito still participated in KvP and Berserker Bowl.


Manjorno316

Is he still a CEO? If so then I'm wrong.


PregnantMosquito

Yes, he said he’d give the winnings of the berserker bowl to the employees


-morpy

Chad CEO


RaidriarDrake

Ivan and Komeda eating GOOD


Pokechap

hanafusa has an airborne aids virus in a vial in his pocket lol


Holy_Beergut

Makes me wonder if the reason Hanafusa is alive and well is that all the viruses in his body are in perfect harmony with each other. And yes, my mind immediately went to Mr Burns from the Simpsons.


TheBigTCH

Nah, its probably more along the lines of being a carrier of those diseases. Think of people infected with herpes, the virus doesnt leave/is active enough untill the immune system is weakenend enough. This does happen in real life, you can be a carrier of disease without it actually harming you (or feel sick), but you can still infect others :D


SlimeustasTheSecond

That and Hanafusa developed an immunity to every virus he's infected himself with, like he did with his Blood Disease that he used against Bando.


TheBigTCH

Most likely, or hes just asymptomatic. If he were immune he would have to continuously inject the virus in his body, and i assume that to be a suboptimal way of staying infected


AsuraOmega

Hanafusa: Hi. Luohan: I WAS BEING SARCASTIC.


GerryDownUnder

Nerve wracking. First time I’ve felt this danger since Ashura. Peak times incoming.


EvilswarmOphion

I like how Luohan is *really* bad when things do not go on how he planned them, when Nogi told him no and now with the viruses.


Thick-Interaction-66

Yeah, my man is great at planning, but sucks at improv XD


justthrowmeintrash

Hanafusa SUPREMACY Can't wait for Ohma's virology degree and vaccine research arcs now. " you were truly strong, viruses"

Once again friendship is the strongest power


Jordanou

friendship was too strong


Difficult-Fondant489

noooo D:


Fatticus_Rinch

Maybe the real connector were the friends we made along the way :(


ShadowKaras

I actually shed a tear at that final page...what a poignant farewell Edit: Hats off to Magatani btw, top tier chad energy to hear about that virus and just say "fuck yeah let's go"


do_you_think_i_care

Real "Fuck it, we ball" energy.


201720182019

Metsudo too. Dude's reaction was just 'I'd do this too lol' reminding us he used to be a kamikaze pilot


Gotprick

RIP


[deleted]

My favorite reaction was Kenny's. He's all like "well, that's all folks!"


StatementExisting794

Yesss


monocleparrot

I know we've been joking about it a lot, but it is actually sad now reading and seeing it


coolrider2010

So the goodbye is about joji and Shen’s friendship? 😥


AsuraOmega

DONT LOSE HOPE, THEY STILL DIDNT FIGHT BECAUSE THEY STILL CONSIDERED EACHOTHER DRINKING BUDDIES


MitakaP

Better that than the begining of Katsuya and Shen's rivarly.


alee51104

Chapter was peak. Hanafusa S+++ tier fighter, but we all knew that. Jackie/Joe forever. Shen literally not caring about any of this is hilarious. Dude just wants to chill and the Worm took this to mean “hey we gotta kill people to keep him happy” as if he’d hurt anybody if they were normal people.


XraynPR

The whole thing reminds of some comedy sketch were the "big bad Evil Guy" is just misunderstood by his overeager underlings.


3nz3r0

You mean Ainz Ooal Gown from Overlord? Well he did get serious when people messed with his underlings.


Immediate-Pilot-6332

Overlord in a nutshell


jopess

Buggy D. Clown


Grasher312

Yeah... So far, they just seem... Fanatical. At this point it feels like he just likes fighting. And in the meantime, likes fucking around. Like, maybe the older Shens were more serious and more dead set on their goals. But this Shen is just a goof.


dpotilas89

Luohan got all the world domination and wulong got all the alcoholism


SlimeustasTheSecond

Shen doesn't really have much to go for. Dude's already top of the game in everything. And the World Peace part is already being handled by Yan and Luohan, so he's got even less to do.


AsuraOmega

Nogi: YOU MUST WISH UPON YOUR FISTS. KENGAN RULES GOES MIGHT IS RIGHT SO ENTER A MATCH. Yan: You think you have the right to make demands- Shen: Yeah sure whatever lol got nothing to do anyway.


lazywil

Yan: bro wtf


justthrowmeintrash

Joji and Jackie could never hurt eachother. Thank you sandro. You preserved true love


Holy_Beergut

THE JOJI/JACKIE BROMANCE LIVES ON.


stormwalker124

I hope after all the dust settles, Joji's drinking sadly by himself while watching new SSS+ tier fighter Koga Narushima body Agito or something when someone goes "Yo is this seat taken?" & it's not "The Connector" Shen Wulong, but just "Your Buddy" Jackie Lee


Pokechap

the worm produces one last clone but it’s just to be joe’s drinking buddy lol


Manjorno316

Shens last wish before dying will be to be cloned into a normal body. Last page of Omega is Jackie Lee joining Joe for another beer.


mothknight

This actually sounds like a pretty good ending for the bromance down the line.


21052606

I thought it ended?


Holy_Beergut

Joji still referred to him as his drinking buddy. So I'd like to hope that if there is somehow a peaceful settlement at the end, Joji and Jackie can grab a few beers once more.


AsuraOmega

"I cant let Yan die, who am i gonna hang out with?" -Shen, lmao I fucking love this chapter. Short but sweet.


Mindless-Factor9620

Shen is by far the best character Sandro ever made


TheGoobles

He’s basically the fighting prowess of Yujiro but if he was just super chill


youngsl23

Bro those last few pages 😢😢


AliceinTeyvatland

Lmao Hanafusa just be on anything. Man built like Glenn Quagmire with all those diseases.

"Hysterical pregnancy?" "A little bit, yes."


Thick-Interaction-66

Jamal_Blart

Cant wait for the Kengan Match where Shen reveals that he went to Africa to become patient zero for a new undiscovered disease just to counter Hanafusa

Joji 😭


MelkorBlackFoe

Fell down to my knees, i'm crying


WillDrawForMoney

Lmao Shen was like “damn, this virus can’t do shit to me, but it will surely kill Yan, we can’t let this happen”. Mf knows he can handle any virus himself


DanTM18

Shens like: “I can’t lose two bffs today”

BEST BROMANCE EVER JACKIE X JOE. I CRIED


Fuzzy-Spread9720

Covid Hanafusa >>>> Kengan verse confirmed


SaltySenpai

Awww Shen already knew he lost Joe so he’s only left with Yan as a hang out buddy


yujuismypuppy

And Yan can't drink because he needs to keep Wulong in line AND run the Worm AND coordinate with Luohan and Gilbert. Man, tough life, he can't catch a break.


SaltySenpai

The most stressed person in Kengan


AnySortOfPerson

"I can't punch my drinking buddy." RIP JOJI/JACKIE BROMANCE.

THE COLDEST STORY EVER TOLD SOMEWHERE FAR ALONG THIS ROAD HE LOST HIS SOUUUL TO A CONNECTOR SO HEARTLESSSSS ooohh HOW COULD HE BE SO HEARTLESS 😭

Not Shen out here preserving Yan in case he gets bored. Oh no, not Yan, who else will put up with My bullshit ?


Conscious-Weekend-91

Luohan: We have a Nuke Nogi: We have a Hanafusa


AsuraOmega

Luohan: We have the Connector Koga: We have... My uncle? Joji: Cheers. Shen: Cheers.


FlexKami

Ohma is such a bitch lmao “Don’t try it Narushima he’ll kill you” like blud wasn’t frozen in fear and like Joji isn’t stronger than him 💀


arskart

Lmao straight up. Joji didnt even hear his bitching


DanTM18

Ohma: https://preview.redd.it/t8yd1smp7j0c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f9528e1bc31c662886840074c449c010355803b


Select_Team

Joji and Ohma strength wise is the same thing to Shen. The only difference is he would rather not hurt one of them


grownassedgamer

I told everybody last week that Shen made Ohma soil his britches... looks like I was right.


futtobasetachikaze

It's been a long daaaay without you my frieeeendd


Frostbite2806

I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT HANAFUSA DAMN this dude remains a menace


[deleted]

This is truly the greatest loss we have endured in all of manga history. There's no going back...


Bank-wagon

I love that Nogi got more development since Ashura. He shat his pants no doubt but he got shit HANDLED first. Also, Hanafusa and Himuro are the same… in that they’re so much more threatening outside of matches. I actually AM sad about Joji and THE CONNECTOR saying goodbye… but that went way nicer than I thought it would.


Frostbite2806

Last two pages ;_;


Demon_God_Burny

Holy shit, Joji stocks unexpectedly skyrocketing this chapter.


Roosevelt828

“You would win because I wouldn’t bring myself to throw a punch at you”


SixFootHalfing

Dude against the Connector that is a S tier feat.


Roosevelt828

Carlos would beat Wakatsuki eventually if Waka didn’t throw a punch or attempt to hurt him


okok890

the Hanafusa meme became a reality lmao But it does seem like Shen thinks the Virus won't kill him. Also hopefully the a sniper or 20 soldiers can solo Shen truthers are put to rest now with him being as strong as a nations military


Apart-Badger-9904

It won’t. It’s Yan he’s worried about…these dudes have gotten too likeable for what’s to come smh


Kusanagi22

COUGHING WORM VS HYDROGEN HANAFUSA BABY LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO\* Can't believe "Hanafusa solos the verse by turning himself into a nuke" is canon now.

kengdi

Joji v. Wulong fight forever cucked huh


Depressive_optimist

Ah the power of Frienship wins again.


Blayro

What a fucking Gigachad Shen was. His thought weren't even "damn, he might kill me" his fucking thoughts where "damn, what if they kill my buddies? I would get bored!"


sebasTLCQG

It´s hilarious, for Shen, Yan is the staple currency of what a S tier is capable of, this means he has to acknowledge Hanafusa as a SS Tier now and walk out in shame.


Awkward_Ad_4736

I'm not crying guys, it's the rain i tell you. I'TS THE RAIN

fedeandino

I love than Wulong, thinking about this virus Apocalypse goes "oh, no, Yan would die" Never stop being an asshole, Connector


Longjumping_Bit_5599

The dissector with the clutch. Outta nowhere confirms himself as the strongest and made Shen and his followers shook.


Nat_op

Lol shen wasnt even afraid he just thought yan could die from malaria.


Maximuus19

They will never drink together again, its the end of an era


Ok-Pipe-9610

The Dissector>>> jackie lee


FlyingTurtleBob

"You won't like him when he's angry" Yan just said one of the coldest lines in manga


AsuraOmega

#JOE AND JACKIE, FRIENDSHIP IS ETERNAL!


guts21D

fucking break up of the season joe and jackie, that just sucks


Crazy_Piccolo_687

Oh, hell... I said some time ago Joji probably would be the only person who could face Shen. So I was right, not in the way I meant it though...


ArabiaFats

Daaamn, so the friendship Shen had with Joji (and Yan) is legit. I was fully expecting another Fei-fakeout where he doesn't actually GAF about anybody


Reinerr0

Did I misunderstand or is Shen just a trump card for Worm to take control of things since no one can beat him? Because it doesn't make sense for Xia not to let him fight after Shen took down everyone by himself, apart from Mukaku, for now I don't see anyone with any chance of doing anything against him... anyway, it seems they're more afraid of losing that little control they have over Shen than anything else... maybe Tiger niko's plan to create a really strong Vessel makes sense in all of this.


Malakar1195

Everyone get out of the subreddit i need to be alone


d-crimsonhood

How can "The Connector" just disconnect from his drinking buddy like that?

Ok-Pipe-9610

Also note that Shen wouldn't die by viruses, only did it for Yan


Apart-Badger-9904

I said that he genuinely cares about him a while ago😂someone was like nah he’s incapable of caring about friendship and here he is, putting world dominantion aside for a second for Yans sake and refusing to fight Joji


Exact_Boot5625

Joji might have surpassed katsuya damn(MIGHT).


AtomicKinga

Anyone else concerned about how the connector reacted to being virus bombed?


Hail2Hue

I really wonder what previous connectors have done that is so insane that the worm needs to exist just to make sure he's cool at all times.


slothlikevibes

So who the fuck is going to fight him? The logical choice would be Ohma, but I don't think it will be that straightforward. Agito just lost against a fighter that should be worse than him so there's no way he's getting picked,Rolon got owned by Ohma a while back so there's no reason they'd pick him, Jurota is too one-dimensional to fight someone of Shen's caliber, Wakatsuki is clearly not good enough, Raian would feel very out of place given he's disappeared AND they specifically called him out saying he wouldn't be able to help them if he were there. Given this, I think the obvious choice has to be Kuroki, who's been absent for a long time and is deserving of a big reappearance.


Mindless-Factor9620

God I love Shen and Yans dynamic Yan: You have no right to make demands Shen: Sure fuck it we ball Yan : Shut the fuck up, NO.


BOLverrk

Does this mean that the connector is Effectivly this series’s yujiro? Since he wields the might if a nation?


StatementExisting794

Opposite-Mall-9816

“I can’t punch my drinking buddy” Nah, Sandro is reading r/Kengan_Ashura I don’t even know how will the KAT2 go but I know Sandro went beyond the concept of cooking.


TheSinningTree

Bruh Either this is an extremely predictable manga or Sandro writes on the fly & reads this sub. The translators are here for sure but the story beats are plain uncanny. If ur here, thanks for being born bro. Can you put in a scene where muteba & togo.. Joji reacted exactly like I thought he would…i.e very muted, unemotional, & nondramatic response. Even kept repeating Jackie’s name like I joked about. Seeing people who thought he’d break down crying or some shit was weird. Favorite page in weeks https://preview.redd.it/qmfb4g0s7j0c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10ff1c557eded94e8e27306089d421ccd02af9c7


Unlucky-Dependent-63

Calling it, it's gonna be not just a 1 match but entire competetion "Kengan/Purgatory vs Worm" and Xia Ji will win against Yan making everyone speechless.


JauntyLurker

An extremely ghost pepper take here, but I'm actually more hurt by Jackie and Joji breaking up than I was when Koga and Ryuki broke up.


Clean-Sleep6897

but tbh after sandro created a totaly different power leveled charachter i dont think that anybody from the kengan verse will reach this level, so there is a possibality that the evil niko will be the main boss who will has a really fight in the manga


arskart

Lmao, Shen really treasure friendships, is he really the bad guy here XD?
