@The:
It's not the calmness, but the cookie cutter fangirl-pleasing design that irks me.
I tend to think that when they give someone who's a coldblooded murderer a bishie design it's because at some point they'll want the reader to be able empathize with them. The Boa Hancock method of, "I'm so pretty, you'll forgive my atrocities right?" I know it works for me sometimes lol. Not proud to admit it, but it works. I don't think I'd like a character like Hisoka if he looked too weird. Sometimes you can pull off a charismatic psychopath without the standard bishie design, but I'm a bit hung over so I can't think of an example right now…I'm sure there's one...
Edit: Just re-read what I wrote...I didn't mean, I commit horrible crimes and think I'm hot enough to get away with it, just that I'll forgive a bishie character more for their crimes usually lol. Sasuke however, does not sway me. He should get the chair :ninja:.

Saiga does look like a pretty boy but do you see Miu. two good looking people made a super strong baby. And surprised about how he goes on about things thought he was gonna kill jenazard's follower for a second.Sakaki is a beast when his cute dicple is in trouble.XD that fist s of fury page was awesome
-
Have you guys seen the trailer for the Kenichi OVA? The art and animation is beautiful.
I was a bit mad that John-san was not real, but this chapter at least had some good moments.
-
On to Hongo vs Jenazad. Only thing left is to see Jenazad's terrible fall from grace. I wonder what Mikumo was planning when she told him to get Miu?
-
and this is the ending
man we have to have this show back.HAVE TOO -
Wait, WHAT? The OVA is out already?!
Runs to download!!
-
Just seen the OVA, I miss the show. It was fun to watch very relaxing due it's very straightforward nature.
-
Chapter 468 is out at Mangastream: http://mangastream.com/read/hsdk/59676338/1
-
Already I'm loving this fight. Things should get especially violent and bloody, because it's two Killing Fists fighting eachother, something I don't think we've seen before?
-
Man, I just love how Hongo's expression almost never changes at all, even during a fight of this caliber. Awesome.

That is what being a sei(?) martial artist is all about.
-
Lol, that page of them facing off on the fucking side of a building is so badass. Good shit.
-
After this chapter, I for one look forward to the adventures of martial artist Harima.

I have a hard time imagining someone yelling front kick or maegeri after every shot.
Sounds dumb. -
Yeah…I prefer the method yelling front kick, then punching instead lol. Did Kenichi ever get a fighing game? I bet that would be fun.
-
I think it's like he's shouting it as he kicks, like a kiai. But even still, it's no more ridiculous than any of the other attack names.
and yeah, Baroness, there was a fighting game, for like the PS2. It was a tekken-esque game, but with super moves. It regretfully only covered the Ragnarok saga, and there's been no game since…
which is a DAMN SHAME.
-
Japan only release I'm guessing? I think it'd be cool for them to have another game especially with what they've done with the Marvel vs. Capcom stuff. It'd be pretty awesome I think. I do enjoy me the anime fighting games. I have a couple of the DBZ ones and I was really close to buying the Bleach one back in the day.
-
FRONT KICK.XD so basic but i did try this when I was sparring my friend today and it threw him off.That idian princess seems to be in love with hongo. She might join yomi to be with him. this has been an interesting fight though. battling at the side of a building with out special powers nice.
-
Okay I was rereading this and came across this page http://www.mangahere.com/manga/historys_strongest_disciple_kenichi/v37/c344/7.html
It's obvious that the one in the middle is Berserker, but who do we think the other two are? (Yes I know it has probably already been disscused but I feel like we know them and I'm missing something)

The girl appeared already(can't remember her name) it was in the whole thing with the disk thing if I recall correctly(at least I think that is her)
-
The girl was Remi, she could travel really fast, but Miu still out-classed her. The middle is Berserker, but we haven't confirmed that. The other guy… I was going to say the dude Hermit beat to get his space in Yomi, but that's the wrong master, so never mind. I don't think we've seen him yet.

And this happened before Hermit got his spot in Yomi.

Is there no HSDK this week?

Chapter is out, all I have to say is that I fucking love Hongou.
-
Dislocating your limbs to evade attacks. That is so freaking cool.
-
You know what I love about this fight? Hougou's vulnerability. We've seen him hurt before, he's not quite a main character, and he's already getting himself messed up just to stay in the game. This fight really could go any number of ways.
-
If the fight goes to conclusion, one of them will die. So what is Sakaki gonna do in order to take Jenazad to "Big Lock" alive? It'd be kinda anticlimatic if Hongo just listens to Sakaki and doesn't kill him.
-
I find it funny that once the fight started, discussion has gone waaay down, because there's not a lot to say besides "wow this is good".
but I wonder if Hongou won't get beat, and it'll be up to Sakaki to carry the day. Or maybe he does that, but gets beat, and then the two of them stand up all bloody and broken and take down Jenezard in the ultimate team-up.

Nah, they won't go two on one. I think Hongou will make a comeback but I'm not sure.
-
Hey anybody else thought of Blanka when Jenazard was fighting Hongou. The is an intese fight.I thought all the fists were on equal level but jenuzard seems more powerful. That pricess girl could not be in any more love with Hongou.She might join yomi for him. Great bone breaking fight
-
I think Hongou will either die or he will be end up like Ryoto(The wheelchair guy).
Jenezad will move on to Sakaki when his done with Hongou, but the Old man will show up. -
Oh shit…Someone just pissed off a cold hearted master. XD
-
Turn the body into a fist huh? What kind of muscles does he have…
-
This fight is awesome.
-
That page where you think Jenazad's head was smashed open like a coconut was awesome.
-
Jenezard was mocking hongou about having a dead diciple when his diciple is dead too. ain't that a B*%$.any way thaat using a simply move against a complex one is kida how Bruce Lee thought process was when dealing with overly stylized guys moves. no need neeed for flare(XMA) keep it simple.

Nr. 5… Air Gear?

Nr. 5… Air Gear?
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110525171519/glee/images/8/8b/SIMON-COWELL-HAPPY-GIF.gifProbably went up since it's down to 2 more chapters left.

-
This chapter single handedly renewed my interest in this manga. The fighting in this chapter specifically has been the best drawn and choreographed since Apachai vs. Agaard/Kenichi vs. Koken.
-
Lol, Junazard is showing his true colors.
-
Well, that came out of nowhere. A master struggling like this is a first for this series.
-
Oh shit…shit just got real bad for Hongou. No wonder the elder had trouble dealing with Junazard, the bastard is strong as fuck.
-
it was such a good fight. I hope Hongou isn't down for the count. Nothing against Sakaki but he ain't going to kill Jenazard like Hongou would.
-
Anyone knows, if you can watch the anime online in europe?
I would love to watch such cool fighting scenes animated^^ -
