Now i'm heading into shigure's past…btw can anyone tell me when the D of D tournament starts?
Soon, soon! I think it started around 170 or 180.

D of D starts from around 190s and ends around 260s. I am just rereading the chapters x3
Sigh, D of D was the peak of this series. Though I still have faith that it will one day reach that peak again.
Weird. I feel a little awkward saying this, but IMO (yeah those three cursed words, which imply the beginning of every annoying flame war) D of D was perhaps the worst arc/bunch of chapters/thing in the whole manga. Time before the Ragnarok arc was fun, Ragnarok arc was cool, but a bit meh in the end. D of D started a trend of crappy battles against Yami and Yomi, which seem to have no end. I sincerely hope that the fight between Apachai and Agaard raises the level back to what it once was.

I can see this; I just place the D of D at the end of the 'fun times' era rather than the beginning of the 'endless battles against a vast and generally bland foe' era. D of D got us a lot of Shinpaku peeps and had some cool characters for the bad guys (Pakriton team were at least interesting). All in all it was sweet and felt like the culmination of the Ragnarok arcs all the way on up. In retrospect, it may have made for a nice series ending if it had been done just a wee bit differently…
Eh, I love post D of D arcs. They still maintain a good level of dark comedy and sympathetic characterization. The only problem is just they're a bit too short.
Yeah. The short length is the whole problem. The whole Ma vs Laughing fist thing happened in some ten chapters. The Yami are supposed to be some ultimate killing machines with techniques of supermaster level, similar to the Ryozanpaku masters. Yet, none of them have been. I don't remember Akisame, Ma or even Sakaki having any problems against them and heck Sakaki even fought two guys at the same time. If only they would be longer and have some more action and plottwists, this manga would be one of the best ones there is.
Oh and some offtopic randomness to TLC. Mainly because of you and your sigs, I read the whole Girly yesterday. Must say it was amusing and I liked it a lot, but the all around awesomeness started to fade in the end. The whole sidekick thingy was incredibly stupid.

Ah now, that's not exactly true. Short as the arcs have been, Yami has had a ton of development. Akisame vs Gaider was two rounds. Ma vs Diego was an excellent fight where Ma was really pressured. Sakaki only fought one of the guys, the other one stayed back and watched until the end where Sakaki just grabbed Rachael and jumped off the helicopter so the fight was never concluded. It's been pretty much confirmed that Yami has two tiers of master given how Kushinada played around with both Sakaki and Shigure like they were nothing. The high tier and the Ryozanpaku tier.
Edit: Eh!?! The final arc is awesome>:/ Glad to see my sig is serving its purpose though^^
@Thousand:

That would be three. Remember the guy lurking in the shadows while Sakaki fought against Brahman. That's the same guy who fought equally with the Elder. Elder even went and said himself that "Oh yeah, I fought that guy once and even I had some trouble against him."
Well yeah, I put him and Kushinada as the high tier but to be more accurate I guess you could put it like this.
Ryozanpaku Tier
Gaider
Diego
Brahman
High Tier
Hongou?
Kensei?
Aagard?
God Tier
Kushinada
Silcardo
Elder's son
I don't know whether to place Sougetsu as high or God tier.
Fierce Fist Sougetsu for High tier x3. Brahman is underestimated since it was a skirmish. Also it was under glaring eyes of another master. True masters are unlikely to reveal their ultimate techniques for free to be analyzed and copied. I am sure he would have fared well in a 1vs1 full fight.
It begins

Now THAT'S how you execute the beginning of a long hyped up fight.
woot. I've been waiting for this fight.
I'm sad, again. Agaard and Apachai starting while their disciples go all out means another damn short fight of only a few chapters. Maybe the Akisame sideplot will be amusing and save this arc from being another utter disappointment.
Don't complain about speedy arcs just because they're speedy; I like it when things move pretty quickly in a manga. If you don't like other stuff about it though and feel it's BECAUSE it's moving too quickly, I guess that's legitimate.
Sort of refreshing for me.

well if you only read Bleach then I can understand why you like speedy arcs. ;P
well the fight is about to begin and this fight doesn't have to be rushed . the others were just side fights. this is the main event. Its weird how one phone call can change a fight lol.
Yep yep, its all thanks Nijama the extraterrestrial genius, Kenichi got saved again x3
well if you only read Bleach then I can understand why you like speedy arcs. ;P
I read a few once, but that was a few years ago by now…
and yeah, it's great to see Nijima being useful. That PK scene was awesome eh?
Here's hoping some more shinpaku alliance members get at least cameos.
I'm sure Shinpaku will have a huge role in this arc. I mean what would have been the point to bring them back to the story otherwise. The entire last arc could be interpreted as a chance to build them up for this arc. The problem is there doesn't seem to be any opportunity for them:(

Dude, Nijima is like the most important character in the series!!!
I think Nijima gonna manipulate/run the RyoZanPaku for their war against Yami.
Chapter is out!

Reading it right now…
Hahahahahahaha!!!
! Akisame with the windows for dummies book and the floppy disk was hilarious. It's so rare that a manga can make me break out laughing like that!
! Kenichi/Apachai vs Koukin/Aagard is looking beautifully beastly as expected.
Lord I love Akisame, he's 2 beest 2 exeest.
who the hell uses a floppy any more dude? seriously funny stuff from akisame. nice to see nijima helping out with somthing and not just using his alien powers to influance kenichi's fight.
the alliance should come up soon . it would be a bummer to have them just sleep in the hotel while all the action is going on. hey where were you guys … sleeping what happened?

This is very true, but I also think that's also very likely to happen. It'd be nice for them to get some spotlight other than just cameos.
This chapter was nice. Akisame and Nijima interactions were comedy gold. And the fights are looking intense. Hope they don't disappoint.
I do read this but I don't watch. :ninja: (related to thread title)
LOL! Funny chapter, Akisame can do anything it seems. I can seriously watch Miu fight all day.
new chapter where are u
@RPG:
new chapter where are u
last week sucked didn't it. like break for everything it seemed.
can't wait till wednesday again this week when should be getting everything again
Chapter's out
http://keishou.net/manga/History%27s_Strongest_Deciple_Kenichi/394/
Apachai is a lot younger than I thought.
Good chapter is good.
The long hyped up battle is shaping up to be every bit as beastly as could possibly be hoped.
And a very palpable flashback building up the two fighter's past.
Also Kid Apachai is so cute!!!><
I should've seen the flashback coming, but i was still surprised. I can't believe Apachai is so young compared to Agaard.
The fighting pages were awesome.
lol at apachai for taking care of a tiger
Good chapter but it was over quickly, oh well.
Apachai was cute.
he's too young to be all that destructive. apachi's master must have put him through hell but he stayed kind and gentle. now thats a master.
Damn, what a great chapter. Was kid Appachi holding his hand out for food after kicking everyone's ass? Lol, the little badass.
RAW's out here
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G5HKFU4R
! More flashback, flashback and flashback
i want to see a brotherhood version kenichi!
Damn, I'm really starting to love Aagard. He's so zenned out yet he's still so brutal. This is EXACTLY how you settle long hyped up rivalries. With some emotional buildup and character development for both combatants displaying exactly what this battle means to them and what they mean to each other.
! DAMN!!! He kills people by being kicked!? WTF!?
didn't know aggard was the brutal. i didn't even see him touch him.i wonder if apachi will do the unthinkable
just read 396 and can't wait till the battle starts up again next week
Just letting you pips know, Chapter 396 is out.
Can't wait to see Apacahi kick Agaard's ass!
Apachai should some how get meo to the dojo and be used in kenichi's training [read chasing kenichi around].
Apachai is so hilarious. That scene with the muay thai bullies had me in stitches XD
Overall good flashback, excellently built up the drive and emotions of both combatants allowing the readers to connect more to the fight. Now we can get down to some awesome action:)
