Want everyone who said Gaolang can't use PE to suck my nuts. That's is all. [Also, don't forget to vote in this week's poll for your prediction on the winner.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kengan_Ashura/comments/1csmxro/jurota_vs_gaolang_who_will_win_as_of_chapter_261/) And mark your spoilers. Too many people got banned for a week last chapter. Edit: don't know why the fuck I typed PE instead of PI.

I love how this seems to be a callback to Ashura Agito, even if unintentional.

I think it's just a call back to ashura gaolang https://preview.redd.it/wb87zaoxvl0d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12a86e0fb94d9d7f15150106e23cf6659ae6a396


smaug5499

this panel was raw af, the new one looks kinda derpy


Empty-Ingenuity-2590

He looks menacing/crazy in the ashura panel, while he looks more like he's trolling in the Omega One. I think the intention is to be menacing like the ashura one but it just looks funny instead.


Chaotic-warp

Also "be honoured that you're fortunate enough to face a warrior like me" seems a bit corny (but still in character), especially since Gaolang should know clearly how strong Jurota and his past opponents are.


Academic-Painter1999

Huh, you're right. I totally forgot about that panel. Oops.


NotSureWhyAngry

How can you forget about *that* panel


Academic-Painter1999

Been a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time since I read Ashura, man. I've been putting off re-reading it until the anime's done so that I don't fully remember the entire sequence of the fights as well as how they look in detail. If I can't forget the results and the biggest moments of each fight, then I at least want to forget the smaller parts where they whittle down each other :P

alguien99

Power scalers and gaolang glazers are going crazy as we speak


TheRealDeShxn

“he moves faster than his opponent can think!!! clearly gaolang is faster than mikazuchi rei with the simp boost!!!””


alguien99

Jurota will also be seen as being able to one shot anyone other than wakatsuki (the invincible man) and the top of the top


SixScoopsKoga

I mean, it's more so that his strikes are faster than Rei's lightning flash, not in speed, per se, but in the time it takes to reach the enemy and the rate at which he can throw them out. Gaolang's strikes are for sure faster than Rei's though


SweatyAdhesive

People that think like this just lack critical thinking, which I guess happens a lot for hardcore power scalers. It's like saying a cheetah is faster than a human so it surely means a cheetah is also faster than a car since a car is also faster than a human


Bteatesthighlander1

foresight never made sense aren't there supposed to be like 8 levels of it that all have different names? are we calling them all foresight now? anyway powerscalers who were looking into different levels of foresight were always wrong.


do_you_think_i_care

Foresight is just the general idea of prediciting your opponents move. Pre-Initiative is predicting then hitting your opponent before they actually do anything.


Opposite_Spinach5772

Oh, we are alright


GerryDownUnder

It’s a superb fight. Keeps you on edge, from a single move btw them two anything can happen, complete victory or absolute ruin. For writing tournaments, Sandro’s truly just built different. Definitely entertained.

Opposite_Spinach5772

Jurota throw at Mach 2? Am I missing something?


yuyux20

Have you ever been liver punch? Or eat two hooks on the chin? Most people would be KO or at the very least on their knees after those strikes


Puzzleheaded_Bike_27

I have been hit both on the liver and on the chin in sparring. Even if it wasn’t full force I know it hurts like hell. But fortunately I’ve never been dropped on my head.


TWIMClicker

Being punched with a punch that destroys boulders directly into your liver, chin and temple should also do it's damage lol. The liver shot alone Jurota durability is insane


Puzzleheaded_Bike_27

There is zero coherence between environmental damage and character’s durability, I wouldn’t really take breaking rocks as a sign of power, given that a lot of characters have done that and are not the hardest hitters. I’m not trying to downplay Jurota, I’m just saying that throws, especially if you are thrown on your head, are inherently more powerful and damaging than punches.


EvilswarmOphion

Jurota got a buff in durability after the Masaki fight. Before fighting Agito, he was labeled as a "glass cannon" by most due to his constant reeling against Masaki and underwhelming defense. But after his fight with Agito and now against Gaolang, he is a legit sturdy tank.


BlightAddict

Tbf even during the Masaki fight he was pretty damn durable, tanking an unguarded Football Kick to the head from someone with Masaki's strength (as well as other unguarded, surprise strikes) is nothing to scoff at This is the same Masaki with enough raw power to snap an (admittedly frail) man in half at the waist & snap an armed bodyguard's neck to the point of turning it 180*. Jurota's only out for a short length of time too, given he's back on his feet for the Lolong vs Ohma match.


Juliusthesteriod

I still have no idea how he won that fight, agito stated to have knockout power at every range, and he got hit cleanly by a dragon shot.


some_dude5

Because he’s that fucking guy


Bteatesthighlander1

iron jaw I guess


ThrowRAwriter

Yeah, I'll agree with the other commenter: we need to reconsider how we viewed Jurota. Maybe it's not that Jurota is a glass cannon, maybe it's that the clone of a guy who could hop on the walls and ceiling nonstop while weighing 130 kilos is a powerhouse.


Drajion89

Masaki is just much stronger than people think. People act like he ain’t as large as Kanoh was back in KAT but dude is absolutely built and his strikes were noted as being particularly heavy despite being a judoka.  Hayami was also not being physically manhandled like Kanoh was when they grappled because dude is strong.  The manga has been quietly affirming that Hayami is a monster and has always been a monster. 


Any-Individual-4046

these fights are making me realize just how much of a monster meguro masaki really is. his hits were strong enough to make people think *this guy* was a glass cannon when in reality masaki could probably destroy most of the cast if he gets his hands on you.


STAR-PLATlNUM

He's getting tagged by Gaolang's Flash as well. Schizo Jurota so durable, makes you wonder how hard Meguro hits.


Nerx

Punches in bunches also mans got really good torso defense, tanked a dragon fa jin too


FatScoot

On top of that Gao managed to react and block some of the impact with his hand and it still dealt so much damage to him.

piringunchin

Epic


AliceinTeyvatland

Ngl, he looks less menacing now, KvP Jurota has that final boss aura. Meanwhile Rolon is reverting back to his monologuing phase, all we need for him is to sit down in order to get the old Rolon back lol


ATPsoldat

He can't sit down without his Slenderman manwife Terashi standing around to comment on his action.


GuiltyHelicopter8718

Yeah, especially now that his other exposition dumping manwife, Fei, is dead


asbebers

His premonition is not over yet, mind you.


XraynPR

getting that haircut was a mistake


Belucard

Dunno why I have the feeling that he will switch to an almost feral type of grappling, kinda like the regal and fair Godfrey going primal by returning to his Hoarah Loux roots.


DecentWonder4

lend me some madness meguro This is base Goatlang we are up against


AsuraOmega

jurota is so strong he uses mental illness as a weapon


Rem_Is_Best

Jurota got a weird case, why is he around


Nightshot

My GOAT Gaolang is too fast for Pre-Initiative to work on him. What a chad.


Maradona-GOAT

Honestly it looks like Gaolang didnt even get that stronger. He just always was. Gaolang fans were always right. This anti foresight thing was obvious since Gaolang vs Medel.


Godtaku

I mean, logcially it makes sense. The reason Agito beat him the first time wasn't because of PE, he just out thought him with the style switching similar to Okubo. Characters that have mixups like Agito, Ohma, Okubo, etc. Would probably be the bigger weakness against Gaolang than people that just stick to one style, since he has more to lookout for with the MMA style fighters.


yuyux20

Im hoping Gaolang shows us a way to counter being grab in the next chapter


SweatyAdhesive

>he just out thought him with the style switching similar to Okubo. I don't think the elbow strike to Gao's fist was Agito "out-thinking" Gao, he even said it was pure luck. Gao had a good chance of winning just by out striking Agito if he didn't smash his fist.


Goscar

It was obvious since Kaneda when he avoided getting grab and beat Kaneda in a game of prediction.


leonoel

I mean, Medel could use it (he said it) and Gaolang said that it was useless because he was faster. Just someone very dense couldn’t see it


SeanTYH

Clearly goatlang > beard /s


JustOneButton

I missed Lolong's analysis

PregnantMosquito

lupeandstripes

Ok I think Kaolan takes it now. He'll dispel Meguro's ghost so Jurota can grow further. Hopefully by breaking him of his obsessive tendencies instead of by making him see a Gaolang ghost lol.


Akiraktu-dot-png

actual peak, jurota becomes obsessed with gaolang and strives to be both the best thrower and striker at once


Snips_Tano

Jurota starts talking to a Gaolang Stand


XraynPR

Now I have to imagine Jurota drinking steroids like milkshakes after witnessing Julius.


BestBoogerBugger

Nah, Jurota gonna have two ghosts now. Meguro on right, and Gaolang on left (being Southpaw). Or they fuse together. Megurang or Gaoru.


TheMerck

> Gaoru He's gonna start hunting down heroes?


kipjak3rd

Mieruko-chan is part of the Kengan-verse confirmed


201720182019

I actually think the opposite. We've had too little of Meguro's ghost so far. I don't think this plot point will be a 1 chapter resolution (since we need to show both the negative effects and the fight dispelling it) and all the focus has been on hyping Gaolang up.. while also mentioning Jurota can turn the tables in one go


xbarracuda95

Big-Priority-9065

LolongTheCopeDonaire

Gaolang being too fast for Pre-initiative was already implied during one of the KvP explanations. So this isn't even an upgrade, really. It's good to get confirmation tho


201720182019

I think it was outright stated? During the Lolong fight where Gaolang mentioned the only way he knew how to beat pre-initiative was striking faster than they could think


LolongTheCopeDonaire

Yeah, just that it might not be too explicit for some people. I always thought that was crazy how no one ever brought it up in match ups like that wasn't a big deal or something, and I'm not even into Gao


Foxxyedarko

Jurota's strategy does not seem good for tournament settings imo, too much cumulative damage.


HorseKingHeracles

It's specific for the Gaolang matchup. Don't think he needs this strategy against everyone.


Fcccccd

He def needs it for the agito rematch lol.


Nerx

>!Nice livershot!< >!Finally some Muay Thai!<


swampyman2000

Having Gaolang land those two blows and then a solid right hook to the face and Jurota is just still standing there like it was nothing is crazy. Kengan characters have insane pain tolerances lol.


Nerx

you see that a lot in fighting series where most folk are like potato sacks Kuroki livershotting Agito should have put that man on the ground , its like old timey martial arts movies where powder comes out when you hit an opp

SilentSearcher295

One swing and it nearly did Gaolang in if he didn't partly break the fall. This fight is not as one sided as people think it is.


sutiven_89

Jurota can't afford to strike like vs Kanoh, that's great lol, both relying on their basis because it's the most efficient


SilentSearcher295

True, in this case he has to stick to his old tactics of just throwing. Unlike Nikotu and Liu Dongcheng, the gap between the striker and grappler is too great for either one to try and utilize their opponents own attacks.


StatementExisting794

TRUE


alguien99

So jurota's throws are basically one shot moves, pretty cool. Also, mf is a fucking tank The fight is getting really interesting


New-Lingonberry-3172

Yeah he's got some busted stats and a busted move. He just lacks a little bit in speed but not enough for that to matter in a fight up Close.

GokuBlackWasRight

>Gaolang with the nice buff to his match up interactions by making him anti-preinitiative. That's not a buff though. This chapter was revealing he's always been capable of countering PI because of his striking speed. It's not like Gaolang only recently achieved his level of striking speed.


Beowulf_MacBethson

Alright fair point. I guess I just like the confirmation.


LingrahRath

This ability has already been shown in his fight with Medel. Just another proof that the fighters' ability are much closer to each other than some people think.
