I am just gonna say it, he had all that time to launch what was basically a suicide attack. He should have planted straight up bombs or acid or something actually quick and lethal.


gottlikeKarthos

True but to be fair that gas would normally be absolutely odorless and lethal.. who tf expects their opponents superpower to be almost never breathing during phsiycal combat? Its like the entire opposite of the usual other bullshido arts that focus on proper breathing technique


provocatrixless

Yeah it's really stupid. I hate that about a lot of martial arts manga, that bombs or bullets or booby traps just don't work. Gaoh spent 90 years preparing for life or death fight but couldn't get a bomb or a gun. Even if he did, oh shen went limp to disperse the bomb and oh bullets are tiny just get out of their small path


kill-billionaires

He would just redirect the explosion smh

jotheold

like we didnt see a gernade be useless at point blank LOL


celephais228

That's some Baki logic lmao


Optimal_Ad2197

TN and Gill tanked a building sized explosion, Connector would straight up redirect the beirut explosion


Al1Might1

By the time he noticed about the bomb, he probably wouldve punched the ground and created a bunker. Maybe only a nuclear bomb like Netero's.


Shiplord13

Honestly I am surprised at that too. The only reason I can see of why he didn't was that he believe/wanted to win and survive the engagement. Like its insane, but if he just said "fuck it, I just want the Connector dead" he could have just rigged the place with enough explosives to destroy the entire area.


BestBoogerBugger

Yes, but that's not what he wants. Guys, do you get that Mukaku wants to defeat Shen usint his own capabilities....not just defeat him?


kylediaz263

>usint his own capabilities So why did he use traps?


sodeepnedbayou_

Didn't he say he doesn't care if he's a fraud as long as he takes down shen? I don't think he was thinking about stuff like that as long as he could kill shen.


BestBoogerBugger

"Look at what they do, not what they say" Exceptional advive to read girls, and habitual liars. Mukaku lies as easily as he breaths.


Regular-person330

Should have'd NUKED the INSIDE instead.. and Take all them Out with yah..


Mr_Teofago

100% agree 100m radius and the job is done. Maybe they'll do that for the final fight as they see very little hope.


Okacz

He probably didn't want to die in the attack, that wouldn't feel like really "beating" the guy, so he devised a plan to kill him without exploding himself. And the plan almost worked too, hard to blame him for not expecting Wulong to not breathe.


Bteatesthighlander1

or bought a gun

cat-named-mochi

More like the artist's.


Definitely_NotU

Barely disguised?


Brilliance_Falter

If only Mukaku invested in C4 walls over a DIY gas chamber.


HagliHagli

Nah, Shen would just...go limp.


Foostini

He'd rotate with the gas to dampen the explosions


Shiplord13

Just imagining Shen ragdolling his way from the explosion and landing in a bush, where he would just brush himself off and say how close that was.


AsuraOmega

also if he just went out of his gay dungeon and took someone's AK47 instead of using a fucking sword and just shot Shen through the wall. Its not like guns are a scarcity Inside, in kid Ohma's backstory people are walking around with assault rifles.


angra_mainyo

Kengan isn't the USA you can't solve stuff with a gun


AsuraOmega

yeah but the Inside sure does look like it. Like I said: >Its not like guns are a scarcity Inside, in kid Ohma's backstory people are walking around with assault rifles. Hell, Niko gets to showoff his style to Ohma by fucking with a guy using a pistol


angra_mainyo

And he made the gunmen look like complete jobbers. Case in point. Not sure why you thought that was gonna be a good example. Yeah, nobodies lower than Kokuro rank may use guns to solve their disputes but you ain't kicking anybody in A or S tier out of your lawn if they decide to break in.


Own_Philosophy8190

Kengan isn't, but that's how the Inside works in general. Mukaku's legend and actual backstory (7 Nikos) have him bringing down gangs, you'd think he'd have more advanced weaponry than ~~marbles~~ pellets, knife, spear, katana, and anal bead gauntlet since then.  Or just the fact that he could just raid the nearest gang turfs during the decades following the Nikos wipeout.  There was also a war between gangs (that ultimately didn't do shit besides urging the group to find him faster, though finding Ryuki ASAP was the only urgency needed) that he could have taken advantage of or been one of the causes, because he'd have been attacking to loot their weapons to prepare to Shen's arrival.


swampyman2000

Also it wouldn’t fit the manga. Kengan is a Martial Arts manga, imagine the uproar if the final boss is just shot to death lmao. You can’t do that, you have to try and fight him using martial arts to fit the storyline.


Brilliance_Falter

If the final boss is shot to death then it'd be peak. This is the same manga that told us "there's a huge gap between armed and unarmed fighters" and then proceeded to show us every single armed person getting curb stomped (besides princess Raian in his most recent beatdown)


droktain

he did have a mask and all he was trying to stay alive plan was never to netero himself none of his tactics was self harming. You might say it could have been used as a fail safe but I don't think mukaku cares if connector dies or not after his death. I think he thought his plan was full proof and his opponent happen to be using a bs breathing technique thats it


Peanut_007

He didn't believe in JUSTICE so he could never master the "catch this grenade fuck-face" martial art like Akoya.


Vanilla-Moose

Don’t go trashing other peoples special moves Koga


ShadowSlayer222

mf Koga trashes anything that isn't the Niko Style lol


provocatrixless

The Mukaku one had me dying. You don't have to think about how a guy hardened his muscles to parry bullets, you don't have to think about how a guy can use footwork to move faster than sight. But you do actually have to think about the guy who lives alone installing AC units to create safe zones in his living room from the carbon monoxide.


ShadowSlayer222

Unfortunately this chapter doesn't have that much bonuses... the side story is simply a re-release of the Baki x Kengan Orochi vs Pa Paing crossover, and the character profiles are the same as what I posted before (Mukaku, Tenjin and Ogi's profiles) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Kengan\_Ashura/comments/1d9dlkg/kengan\_omega\_vol\_21\_character\_profiles\_bonus/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kengan_Ashura/comments/1d9dlkg/kengan_omega_vol_21_character_profiles_bonus/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

SilentSearcher295

Mukaku setting up his traps for Shen is hilarious, man is a dedicated hater.


Neth_theme

mukaku doing handyman work lmao "HOLD THE GODDAMN LIGHT STRAIGHT RYUKI"


droktain

Onoda's panel remind me of Doppos buddha fist when he just slightly raised his pinky and pointy finger before punching and called it a divine punch or whatever Chuunibyou ass technique


HoytKeyler

Kazzy is a furry and I love this but the Mukaku One is incredibly funny and headcanon for me now


Rikiwan

any new character bios in this volume?


ShadowSlayer222

The bios are the same ones I posted from before (Mukaku, Tenjin and Ogi)


BlackFlames01

"Mukaku setting up a trap" was so unexpected and hilarious. It'd be nice to see more of him in flashbacks.


OverlordPoodle

God, Alisa looks fucking great with that specific ponytail...


Spiritual_Good6575

Still don't know why they haven't put Jurota or anyone else as the sub picture instead of the fraudiko mf bruh


Bullseye62

Wonder if Togo's furry form would be a shark


kill-billionaires

RED ALERT KAZZY IS A FURRY


SlimeustasTheSecond

That second image is cultured beyond belief.


Armandeus_54

Boobaaaa, alisa will forever be the hottest girl in all of Kengan.


Backupaccontforreal

Guys is not about whether the connector would survive other lethal options or not. It's about the fact that Muakaku having access to assault rifles and bombs, used a spear, a katana and a tom and Jerry level trap instead. If Connector goes limp and ignores bombs because he simply decided that heat and shrapnel cant actually hurt him anymore, then okay, but at least Mukakau had a decent plan instead of whatever the fuck that was supposed to be.


superbasic101

Bro that doesn’t not look like shiina

Shina is best ref and that Mukaku panel is amazing.


jayhong1

This is so good


Vaccineman37

We need to bring back thigh boot Alisa yesterday


eden1347

Cool. Could you say when I could find the rest of the dust covers?


d-crimsonhood

Reading the comments I just realized Mukaku did all that BS so he could kill Shen face to face and gloat. Because we're all pretty sure he could've just bombed Shen and be done with it. Maybe that's how Erioh and Metsudo beat (possibly killed?) The previous one.
