If I were to take a guess, it would probably be the ability to take a life. Even though he lost his master and vowed revenge, what is would come down to if Tanaka can defeat Ogata could he take his life. I may be wrong on that speculation.

More than doubting if he could take it, it's doubting if he should take it, because it will be at the same time against the disciple of the fist of life, and against his master teaching.

Very true. We will have to see what the next chapter holds for us. As for Ogata, I am waiting to see what the other two disciples look like. The mangaka tease us with Beserker being one of the unknow three, but I am wanting to know who the guy and girl are.

Battler-kun · 2010-02-04, 18:29

Awesome. Finally less Ecchi, more action and fighting.

Nice that Kenichi atleast can put up a decent fight with all his techniques from his masters.

But he is bound to lose anyways.
Also Tanaka no way in hell , has a chance against Ogata who should be near supermaster-level.
Tanaka would die if he'd face Ogata.

So if Kenichi beats him, does this mean Kenichi is already above Disciple class?

Anh_Minh · 2010-02-04, 19:06

It'd mean Tanaka's just that unstable.

Probably, since Tanaka is already above disciple class. But I (personally) don't see Kenichi at that level yet. There's a bit more for him to learn. I might be wrong though.

iwubanime · 2010-02-04, 21:50

I know it won't happen... but I kinda wish Kenichi would beat him rather easily. I'm not saying I want it to be over in a few frames, or whatnot. But just that Kenichi keeps his cool the whole entire time.

On a more serious note, I'm curious to see if Kenichi will barely win or lose. It might make more sense for him to barely lose and then have a master face Tanaka and completely obliterate him. Then it would be like, you might be good, but you have a LONGGGG way to go!

Good chapter

HayashiTakara · 2010-02-04, 21:59

Kenichi isn't being given the credit deserve. Sure he acts spineless now and then. But, his skills are still impressive and should be taken into consideration.

Kafriel · 2010-02-05, 02:51

I think Kenichi will be winning this one with ease, perhaps because Tanaka's uncertainty resembles the one he gets when fighting...great chapter btw.

I think Akisame said that the expert class has a very large range of power, so both of them being experts doesn't mean they're of equal strength.

Terrean · 2010-02-05, 07:16

So Tanaka is no master, but close. He is at the upper end of the second tier, before mastery... that´s where Kano Shou should have been also. Still a disciple but the body of a master.
And Kenichi could beat him while still in disciple tier.

Therefore he has great foundation (like Ogata said in their first encounter) which Akisame is still polishing and he doesn´t want to let it go to waste (by Kenichi giving too much credit).

But I am afraid the Mangaka is trying to prolong the story by mixing in content which do not match with previous one....
never the less great story.

Kafriel · 2010-02-05, 07:24

Tanaka could be a useful ally against the yami, Ryozanpaku are pretty short-handed compared to them..

IMO he'll get humbled by Kenichi's win, and decides to train more. He'll disappear for awhile and return again sometime in the future.

Kafriel · 2010-02-05, 13:22

That's the idea^^

I definitely don't like the idea. The lad appeared in 3 panels, disappeared for 100 chapters, then reappears for 3 chapters, then you predict he will disappear for another 100 chapters? Nah.

Battler-kun · 2010-02-09, 08:46

The only way the fight would have ended. By interference. Tanaka could have killed Kenichi easily, so the sparring was kinda bizarre anyways.

Actually as he had pointed out, Kenichi stopped his fist midway. That finger strike wouldn't have landed and would've been sent flying if Kenichi went all the way with his strike.

It just happened

Tanaka to Kenichi: "It's no laughing matter! You're going to be whipped by you're wife someday, too!"

Truest words ever say.

NoLongerSane Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Texas	371 raw out. Spoiler for 371: Very interesting chapter. There is some background on Ogata via Elder's flashback and there is a very funny scene with Tanaka and Kenichi after the sparring match that involves Tanaka recalling about his love with his master's daughter. Will wait for the translation but I think the sparring match ended in a draw.
