Seems like God Fist is really going to be a difficult one to deal with…But I doubt Sasaki will loose though... after the Apachai incident I don
History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi

However, I don't think it's Kenichi that the Demon Fist God will target for slander. I think it's Hayato. Jenazad already has a connection to him, so he has a possible reason for wanting him hurt. With his connection to Saiga he has the necessary info to pull it off, plus there's the fact that Hayato is more than likely still keeping things from Miu (which Jenazad could use against him). For a long time she only had her grandpa, and if she suddenly finds herself suspecting that he's not what he appears to be, it could draw her more and more towards her one other family member, Yami.

kenichi will always follow his masters in to any cituation,Sakaki is gonna have a good fight with the god hand but not like apachai's level. also love the hermit shinpaku parts as always. He hides his like for them so well

Sad day for the fans of the anime.
VA Kawakami Tomoko Passes Away
According to Production BaoBab, seiyu Kawakami Tomoko passed away on June 9th. She was 41 years old. She had been struggling against ovary cancer since 2008.
Director Ikuhara Kunihiko posted on his twitter that he contacted Kawakami on March 14th. She told him that she wanted to play in his new anime Mawaru Penguindrum.
Director Sato Junichi said Kawakami recorded the drama CD of Aria in September 2009. She recorded the voice alone because she was taking anti-cancer drugs and her doctor forbade her to be in crowds. The producers waited for five months until Kawakami's condition got stable. Sato said she was one of the irreplaceable seiyu.
Man this is a great loss, she was a great voice actor for Miu. RIP Kawakami Tomoko.

damn…
cancer sucks. fuck off cancer. :(RIP Kawakami, may you be at peace now.

Artwork looks pretty good in this episode.
Lately the art has been inconsistent, some episodes seem like they have been drawn by an amateur. Maybe the author is a bit overworked.
-
Hongo Akira sure is a nice guy.
-
It's something that our main hero and heroine were almost taken out simultaneously by a fodder. Kenichi is like the only manga which has top-tier fodder which our protagonists can't hope to fight against. Pretty original.
-
dayum, both of them were so close to instant death. that looked cool.
-
WHOA! I didn't expect to ever see MY martial art in Kenichi!
I practice Shorin Ryuu, and the move Sakaki is doing to clear the area seems to be the entire Naihanchin kata, but at super-speed. wow, I feel really special now… not like I could do something like that, but still! I wonder how many other moves that the characters use are legitimate techniques, but super-style?

Wow, that's interesting. Could you give us some details on the techniques he used? He just looked like he did a wide spreading movement to me.

@Thousand:

well, a Kata is a series of moves, and it's certainly not something you just whip out and run through when you get attacked. Rather, the purpose is to practice a wide variety of moves through the kata, and then be able to select one of them and apply it if you need. Since Sakaki just called out the entire kata's name, it would seem like he just blitzed through an entire 45 second form in the blink of an eye.
but as for what you can clearly see him doing, check out this video.
at 0:24, you can see him blocking with his arms and kicking his leg up out of the way, like sakaki is doing at the right side of the spread. Then at 0:29, you see the double punch. The naihanchi kata are all symmetrical, so he goes back and does the mirror image for the other side, kicking and blocking like Sakaki again at 0:38, and the double punch the the other side at 0:43. I'm not quite sure what those arms floating near the left hand side are supposed to be, maybe multiples of the punch at 0:33?actually, now that I think about it, there are 3 Naihanchi kata, so maybe Sakaki is incorporating moves from all of them? The position on the left looks more like it might be from the 2nd naihanchi… either way, he's definitely taking it one level above impossible.
and thanks for asking! I don't often get a chance to talk about this kind of stuff.
-
No prob. Pretty interesting. I suppose the sheer impossibility of it is why Sakaki is a master lol

That is very true.
On the chapter: I really loved that spread with all of the knights standing there in single file, Armor to me is a pain in the ass to draw an seeing it drawn multiple times like that was just aww inspiring to me.
-
I somehow think that Hongo Akira is way to rushed.
I mean we saw him now 5-6 chapters ago in action with his new disciples and now the fight against Sakaki.
I don`t think that either Hongo nor Sakaki will die or something like that, but such an important fight was now in just 5-6 chapter build up for us, which seems to be way to quick in my eyes. -
i was suprised that he protected them . i was because of them his diciple died but maybe he changed his mind about them.akira will lay waste to those knights then the fight will start
-
It could be because he knows his new disciples rly want revenge and so he saved them to get them the chance.
-
Don't they have a code of honor where a master should never fight a disciple? Both Yami and Ryozanpakou (spelling?) follow that it seems so I see why Hongo Akira stopped the blades.

With the knights around and all that it doesn't seem like the best scenario.
Hongo seems like the kind of guy who would set a place and a time to have a duel.

Pfft, distorting backgrounds have been used by Keisuke Itagaki Since the 90's.

Alright chapter, at this point I just want to see those two fight rather than kicking fodder in armor suits around. At least the fight is under way now. Have a feeling we'll get a little flashback next chapter.
-
how come this chapter had bad angles for fighting but perfect shots of miu's body. they say they're fighting but it looks like they standing still to me. the apachai vs aggard fight was fluid motion
-
Sakaki and Hongo haven't really started to go at it yet. They are just testing each other's ki and stuff.

side text: the fated confrontation between these two masters, it begins now!!!\
sakaki: dou\
Hongo: sei\
2-3
battle 436: shock wave orbit battle\
in this battle you will not be forgiven …\
if you close your eyes even for a second!!!\
5
guuah!!\
kenichi-san!!\
ha!\
6
that’s dangerous, what incredible ki!! I was on the verge of losing my consciousness!!\
sakaki-shishou told me to not close my eyes till the end of the fight, I have to get an hold of myself!\
I have seen several fights between masters until now but…\
This is the first time I see such straightforward spirits clash against each other!!\
“shockwave orbit” that’s the maximum level of strategy in a fight between masters,\
I cannot see it but, could it be that this is a shock wave orbit battle as well!?\
7
kenichi-san calm down your spirit and try to enter in ryuusui seikuuken’s mental condition, please\
after that you will understand what’s happening\
ha!\
Ah that’s right, I was able to see it a little once in the past\
I have to deeply calm down my spirit\
I have to grasp the whole battle not with my normal eyes but with my inner eye!!\
9
woooo…\
there are not only shockwaves, the two of them are reading each other’s orbit in order to crush the opponent with all their strength and soul in the case there is a opening!!\
hey, That’s no good, I have to calm down my spirit\
wait a minute, miu-san is seeing it too, that’s means that she learnt one of sei’s extreme moves, the ryuusei seikuuken, right?\
n-no, it is clear that she is using a different method from my ryuusui seikuuken to see them!\
I’m a dou fighter\
Dou fighters like me or sakaki-san are able to perceive all the movements by exciting their own spirit\
10
nuaaah!!\
sakaki-shishou is making his move!!\
what is that slow thrust!!?\
calm down and try to perceive well what’s happening\
11
a-after checking every attack and every defensive movement he is assuring that the trajectory of his slow thrust reaches the opponent!\
sakaki-shishou is pressing him little by little!!?\
but a punch from that point blank range cannot have much power!\
t-that’s…\
12
immobile sand cloud explosion*!!!!\
TLN: normally I like to leave the name of the moves in Japanese but this “sand cloud” will appear in the following dialogues so it is better to take it in English)
That’s sasaki-shishou’s secret move!!\
It is a sand cloud explosion that destroys the internal organs of the target without the least shaking in the punch!! That was a perfect!!\
13
kyouha kumikuzushi!!!\
mirror crushing interception\
what!!?\
14
you are good…\
w-what the hell happened?\
incredible!\
in a single instant they performed an unbelievable exchange of offence and defence of the highest level!\
15
the god fist released against sakaki-san’s sand dust explosion shockwave…\
kyouha kumikuzu!!\
a completely equal shockwave, and tried to destroy his left arm!!\
eeh!?\
but sakaki-san noticed that and in a splint second removed all his strength from his arm and,\
attacked the god fist that lost his balance with an high level magashi geri*…\
*round house kick\
and then because the god fist coped to that kick with another kick, the two of them were blown off\
I see… Now I understand\
Their level is so high that I cannot comprehend what’s happening even if I’m watching them…\
That’s what I have understood right now!\
But I’m sure that sakaki-san would say this to you in such situations\
“Even in this case”\
“Continue to watch!!!”\
17
m-miu-san what is this!!? What happened now!!?\
well… I’m sorry they exceeded the level that I can follow with my own eyes\
18
muh!!\
19
ha…\
today there is even my disciple that is looking at me, the conditions are in my favour!!\
weren’t you one of those that don’t take disciples?\
sidetext: even kenichi and miu are unable to see their battle, sakaki and hong are fighting on a totally different level! Their destiny will approach in the next chapter!!\posted by aegon-rokudo as translation in MH

The fights look like it's going to be a very close one… we can't really know who's going to win this one, it might end up in a draw... if one of them loose it's going to be because of a mistake, maybe Sakaki will leave an opening while he's trying to protect Kenichi from something

@MDL:
http://www.mangareader.net/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/436/2
dat ass.
I thought exactly the same thing. And then the fight inside is full of muscles and manliness. Never change, HSDK, never change.
-
What the heck? This chapter had too much of Kenichi and Miu watching and explaining what Sakaki and Hongo did. They barely moved until the end of the chapter. It's "show, don't tell" to an extreme! Kenichi and Miu standing and staring got exactly as much time as the fight! I really hope this picks up.
-
what kenichi aid on pg 13 114 is exactly how i fell. so does this mean sakaki is stronger than apachai cause we cant make out hismovements?

To be fair, this fight is supposed to be really high level using a lot of complex fight physics that would go over our heads without an explanation.
I liked this chapter mostly because it really showed how far Kenichi really has to go. Poor dude.

Today I finished the last episode of the anime….a shame it had to end, it was really fun. Never really did start the manga, but I'm guessing, the anime left of somewhere around 150 or close to that? Chris Cason character, Seigfried (sp?) is the best though lol
-
Yeah, the anime got up to chapter 143 (end of Vol 16).
-
nice to see young sakaki.I wonder if that sazuki kid will come up in present time.not much fighting but good chapter. better than trying to explain something you don't know nothing about. Do all the masters have a counter part like apachai and sakaki

I get the feeling Sazuki died somehow after becoming a disciple of both Sakaki and Hongo, I don't know. He seems really good and he'd be an awesome fighter by now. If he was still alive I'd be surprised Sasaki never mentioned him or Sazuki never visited the dojo.

That could be the reason why Sakaki was so hesitant in the beginning to teach Kenichi.

Just read the first couple of chapters of this and found it pretty fun. Does it get really good? Is it worth trying to catch up to?
When I skim threw the latest chapter it looks pretty damn epic.

Boobs, fun and testosterone, plus a glimpse of romance.
What else do you want ? just catch up.

As you can see it's highly recommended. It's a good and consistently fun shonen manga. You won't regret catching up.

Thanks everyone. This is much more positive feedback then I got when I asked a similar questions in the Reborn and Fairy Tail threads. And it is a similar style of feedback that I got in the Toriko thread, which is a good sign. Im 15 chapters in, ill be caught up in a month hopefully.
