I have to admit this chapter made me realize how much my interest nosedived after the manga stopped following Koga and Ryuki. Odd too cause I loved the first series and didn't initially like the shift in protagonists but I couldn't give a rats ass about the Kengan v Purgatory tourney.
Even though things are far from resolved, it is nice to finally get some form of retribution against Rugi after all this time. Excited to see what happens next.
@truegoddessreincarnation only the bad ones. It's comically fun but Baki and this are all shit tier martial arts parodies. Yes jumping on your opponents back and the poison hand both remind me of Baki. You're really cool for disagreeing.
Believe it or not there was a decent ninja character in Karate Shoukoushi but he was also very obviously a creepy and borderline loser who only got to shine in a joke arc against a lower tier.
