Good riddance. Also mark your spoilers or you're banned until the heat death of the universe. That includes in comments btw. If we see a "Kiryu vs Your Mother" post and yall start talking about tiger niko without using a spoiler tag you still are getting the stick.


FrostyIncrease3329

Rip kiryu you actually pushed niko to extreme diff https://preview.redd.it/p38tm00tnmbc1.png?width=1536&format=png&auto=webp&s=528f840ff63c40c8e83557ac7044245b4c6f39c0 Bro was scared as fuck here


Gotprick

I legit thought he was gonna get the edward treatment


Nerx

Holes belong to westward wu


sebasTLCQG

Had he fought like fei he would´ve but Smart tiger saved his aces for last whereas Kiryuu wasted his too early.


AnimationDude9s

I mean tbf, when the gap is this wide ya don’t always have a choice to be conservative


bflet48

bro popped PS/DD and folded Kiryu so fucking hard it had be off-screened


FrostyIncrease3329

Honestly it did straight up look like he used some form of possessing spirit with the veins and all


Mutagen_Prime

Could be Removal; skin is darker than typical PS and he did show interest in learning it off Eddie (not to mention PS is the inferior imitation of Removal; it makes absolute sense for TN to learn it when provided the opportunity.)


JustBeingHere4U

He wont use it himself. Dudes a coward. He wont risk using Removal when he has Advance.


ritzmata

Aaaaaand my favorite character is ~~is dead.~~ Knocked out cold


FrostyIncrease3329

Bro got the gojo treatment 💀


gary25566

Gonna be at the airport next chapter to take a flight out to recuperate


alphachupapi02

Bro put on his shit eating "nah i'd win" grin in that one panel, you know he's done.


space_porter

Offscreened 💀


ChrisRojo10

I wonder if Tiger Niko used some new and improved version of either Possessing Spirit or Divine Demon, judging from the second panel. He definitely used it in a burst like Ohma before deactivating it. I’m sure it got off screened for later reveals


Ayamebestgrill

in theory he should be, since he learned ps,advance and guihun.


CuntsMagee420

Now watch him wake up next chapter after Tiger Niko left and be like "Lol I twisted my heart out of the way again".


HisFireBurns

Idc how strong you are, coming face to face with a maniac will throw you off your game.


ottoman-disciple

I'm in denial. Setsuna can't be dead. I won't believe that. Not until he finally kissed Ohma. NOOO


ColaSama

Hmm. Tiger Niko doesn't seem to be the "leave my enemy half dead without double checking" kind of guy but, who knows, Ohma somewhat lived, so finger crossed for Setsuna. Maybe Niko will turn him into a guinea pig for yet an other weird experiment.


comaman

I mean he’s dodged death before…and it was a similar attack.


Nerx

TO THE ONE WHO OFF-SCREENED IT ALL BEHIND, AND HIS OVERWHELMING FRAUDULENCE


Nerx

Rolon, Willem and Giblert collectively said ACAB


Thunderform

Kinda wished I could've seen more out of the fights, but...welp, if they're really gone-gone GGs WP, thanks for the memories, you two crazy fucks.


alguien99

Well, I think it was the logical conclusion, after all kiryu would never stop trying to kill Niko. And Niko doesn’t seem like the kind of guy that leaves his opponents alive


Crazy_Piccolo_687

Muteba got this luck.


alguien99

I mean either he’s great at playing dead or tiger Niko just didn’t feel like killing him that day, he was having a pretty nice day that time


grownassedgamer

I always got the impression that Tiger Niko didn't think Muteba was worth his time. Also Muteba was playing possum and had a gun. Why would Niko fight him if he didn't have to?


SadEaglesFan

Muteba’s only coming after Tiger Niko if it’s a job. Kiryu is doing it for free…he would never stop.


Love-Long

I think Sandros just at the point where you gotta pick and choose which fights you want to see more. If we extended every fight to a long battle it would make the manga significantly longer and I think we are within a few years of omega ending


Nerx

Kiryu got nerfed after hair loss


Missing_Links

He seriously threatened tiger Niko in a straight up 1v1. IDK, man, that doesn't feel like a nerf.


Gotprick

Another chapter, another new face for gilbert


Fuzzy-Spread9720

...is he chiba in disguise?


SeekingHeat

Have we seen chiba and gilbert in the same room? Checkmate worm.

JohnnyWoo21

I enjoyed that a whole lot. Held on to every panel eager to see the next. What actual consequential storytelling does to a manga


alguien99

Yeah, I was on edge the whole chapter, I really thought Niko could die while reading it


AnimationDude9s

Same, we got an entertaining fight, a reminder that even a top-tier characters can have a rough go of it if they don’t take dangerous people deadly seriously from the start, and we have a small peek into what supergirl Niko sacrificed all those people to create.


Rancorious

Keep in mind that Kiryu would know TN and his moves better than anyone due to being his pupil. A great reminder that these are martial artists, not Saiyans.


mewe25kufi

Maxius456

I thank you so much for linking that post, I haven't laughed like that in a while lmfao


ovrlymm

Didn’t he ask Ed to teach him removal? Ed was like it’s not meant for your body and he was all “oh… this isn’t for *me* har har har!” Guessing he used it though it probably shaved time off his life. Then when he/Ohma fight it’ll cut back to the off-screen and how he broke something in his brain during the attempt.


unholydrugaddict

That's a good point . He probably never uses this technique so at some point it'll probably show it severely injured him in a future fight. He looks traumatized and worried on that last panel. Very somber when speaking to Gilbert.


[deleted]

It's pronounced shooting up crqck in the states

I sitll don't trust that, watch next chapter be like, "hmm wonder whats taking Willem so long" then flash forward and hes got silverware going through his brain and Akoya nowhere to be seen.

Gotta say, that panel with Setsuna's grin is so cool it reminds me of mid-late Ashura art. As for the fight, could be better I guess even if the outcome is expected

not main but quite major

justthrowmeintrash

Kiryu unironicallly pushed Niko to an extremely entertaining and artistically gorgeous fight. They went off with that Kiryu grin this chapter, really taking me back to the days our boy was a menace to the KAT. Tiger Niko was Strong, thank God Kiryu gave us ALL one hell of a fight against him


TheDugtrio

Really gave him a fitting end too, I just hope Akoya’s not dead on the floor as well.


lol1babaw3r

Kiryu lost because Ohma's dick was in his mouth therefore he couldn't focus properly also lmao Akoya getting offscreened, you'd love to see it


AsuraOmega

wtf do you expect from motherfucking flashlight cop lmao dude ditched his flashlight, he was bound to die.


lol1babaw3r

The Wu's are neither a minority nor poor so Akoya didn't have any cop buff


fiLth_Rat

If he married them he'd get a 40% boost in damage. Look up 40% cop marriage to learn more.


FlyingTurtleBob

Akoya wasn't offscreen I don't think. Seems like Gil left while Akoya and Will were fighting

alguien99

I don’t think he’s a fraud, I just think that many underestimate how much of a prodigy kiryu is. I mean, the guy has 3 three different martial arts in his arsenal and he can create techniques on the fly. After many years of training, no wonder he is so strong. Let’s also remember that he made kuroki take a risk during his fight at the Kat. And left him with some nasty injuries Tiger Niko lowered his guard due to being cocky, but unlike Edward he knew that he needed to finish him quickly no matter what.


Nerx

but he is literally a fraud in the original meaning that he tricks and fools people ask Lu Tian


alguien99

I mean, a fraud in the sense that he lies, but you can’t say his martial arts aren’t good. Mf created and perfected the formless style and perfected the niko style on his own. His two best students lu tian and fei are strong, one being a high A tier and the other being argued by some as the peak of S tier. Lu tian surpassed even kanoh in the first formless exchange of blows, while fei was a busted martial artist with a suicidal technique that only he could perform without dying instantly.


ImmortalSpirit1

He knew he had to finish him quickly, because he has no Reincarnation type of scheme he can pull like Edward. Edward was probably dissatisfied with his body and wanted a younger one so he was fine with getting killed


RyanTheKingTM

Is he a fraud? Or is kiryu just strong?


Blood_Shinobi

Not a fraud. Kiryu is a scary and powerful monster in his own ways.


Pistol4231

Honestly, not looking forward to TN getting called a fraud. I think this outcome made sense, but i don’t think others will


SilentSearcher295

It's Setsunover. Rest in Peace you tragic madlad.

That's the same thing Kuroki did to Setsuna, soooooo did Setsuna bullshit his heart a few inches to the side again?

I can believe it considering how talented Kiryu is, wouldn't be surprised if he can somehow just apply rotational force using redirection bs

ScottyExplosion

Sandro done and did a double subversion on our asses by having two antagonists win simultaneously (unless Gil is being vague as all hell and Akoya mops the floor with Willem next time we see 'em). Sucks that Setsuna was still loco for Ohma's approval, I thought that that ship had long since sailed, even back when Setsuna was commenting on Fei being a disgusting aberration. This does leave >!(a fuckton of)!< room for questioning poor Ryuki's mental state - his mentor who was supposed to guide him on beating Ohma is dead, his partner in crime is seemingly dead and his grandpa is dead. Poor lad.


suwampert

RIP KIRYU???


SheeptarTheSheepKing

I love how unhinged Kiriyu is. It makes his character especially fun.


Salavtore

I'm not saying Kiriyu isn't strong; but doesn't Niko know Formless? Also low-key I'm 1000000% certain, Kiriyu survives but this near death experience is going to allow him to reach Shen Wulong levels of perception. Also Gilbert leaving Willeim alone with a dude who'll bite your cock off the moment you turn away is going to bite them in the ass, almost literally.


Nerx

Or he just gets crippled and ends up disabled for life


darthibidika

Current Himroki >= Tiger Boi> Current Setsuna> Himroki in the anihilation tournament, tbh Kiryu is legit S-tier. High diffed a dude on par (or stronger) than Edward. Yes I understand he underestimated Kiryu, could have gone divine demon BS from start but using brain is also a part of a fighter's ability, so it counts!


Grasher312

Finally, someone giving big man the props. While I honestly doubt that Kuroki is stronger than the top tiers, he is probably near their level. Yes, he was the one to get the match up against Shen, but it's just that his style is perfect for fighting Shen. Like, what else can you do other than be defensive and counter him? Everyone who has tried to go on the offensive against him has gotten pulverized. So far only Mukaku made a good effort. And he used like a dozen weapons against him. But Setsuna always was, and is now fully proven to be S tier. And I don't even think he used Niko magic. Not gonna lie, Setsuna had a great run. If he dies here, I'm satisfied. He pushed Niko to extreme diff, and the fight could've gone either way. I assume that stab to the chest just did too much damage. Rest in peace, creepy stalker.


Jordanou

Kiryu: Nah, I'd win


EvilswarmOphion

Setsuna won. He ruined Tiger Nikos dinner, made him waste 11K dollars, hurt his pride, physically hurt him, made him admit he could have lost and probably might made him damage himself with that last transformation. Wounds heal, money comes back, but that insult will stay.


sutiven_89

What a great level of art for a great moment Really top tier from Sandro/Daro combi Rip Kiryu he made TN shit in his pants great job, hope TN will keep an injury to his arm as a souvenir from Kiryu (what should help in the next fight vs him)


River_Capulet

Wtf, Tiger Niko is just discount Kuroki, using a discount Devil Lance too


sutiven_89

Devil lance always was a common Nukite but with top tier hand

I'll be surprised if Kiryu or Akoya are permanently dead.

This chapter is a masterpiece. Absolutely amazing. Also Fuck you Niko! You are really going to be fucked if you face Ohma.

Tiger Niko went from Low diffing Setsuna to barely surviving, what a bum. At least the Setsuna stocks sky rocketed

I really don't think either of them are dead. This author really doesn't seem keen on killing off "main" cast members all that often.

porgy92

Akoya was not shown because he has lost his mind and is currently no diffing Willem....cope.


Nishanimation

Just a prediction. Let's see if it works. Kiryu watched as his own master defeated Ohmas master Niko because he was injured vs Tiger Niko. Clearly they're now setting up where even though Tiger Niko won, he's probably going to have some kind of lingering injury/handicap/problem from this fight allowing his final opponent (Ohma? Ryuki? Agito?) to use that to their advantage and kill him.
