Something's off about Raian from the start. His one-sided pummelling is backseating right now, and we've seen those defensive techniques before.
Is it possible that the year of fighting Ohma taught Raian the Niko Style, and Adamantite with it?
Something tells me that Ohma's massive power boost also affected Raian, and he's now amongst the most powerful Kengan competitor.
Either Alan's about to get his ass kicked, or Raian's going to demonstrate the epitome of strength.
