holy f*$king shit, a fight between supermans! Didn't expect someone to be at the elder's level, this is going to be insane, I hope the manga pages can contain this level of awesomeness without turning into ashes.

If the armed group joining forces with the OS9F is the catalyst for the Eternal Setting Sun, I don't see this arc itself ending conclusively, or even showing the result of this clash for awhile. I don't see the leader getting beat here so that the group survives, maybe a stalemate, but I'm not sure they'd show the Elder fighting both him and Saiga in the final arc either. If he does, that fight would weaken the Elder enough that Saiga would be able to pull off a cheap, overhwhelming victory and I think we're entitled to a proper fight.

I think it's a setup arc for the ESS (so this could last 6 months and ESS a big 2 year final arc)

Can it really be called "9 Fists" when 1 is dead and 2 others are imprisoned?

evil_kenshin · 2013-07-26, 05:25

new chapters out; seems the leader of the weapons division is giving elder a very hard time to the point the fights been going on for a week. Who's stronger remains to be seen.

I think that the Elder already lost the fight, because he is being caged there.
It's his loss. The opponent isn't even trying to kill him or anything.

This time Ryozanpaku is getting manhandled for sure.

its a shame to say this but I feel like this chapter was pretty boring. Just kind of an update on whats happened and im not a fan of that no progress just everyone waiting around.

Excelion · 2013-07-26, 14:18

Looks like this indeed a setup for the final big arc (eternal setting sun). Maybe it'll start next week. The other 2 OS9F are still in Big Lock and not with the main group, so I could see them coming out of nowhere to help the good guys for whatever reason to balance it out a bit, but you'd think Akira Hongo and Agaard would be undercover good guys by now too. Sogetsu also seems borderline. James Shiba probably will help out too.

On the Yomi side though, the situation is revered. Too many good guys, not enough bad. Maybe these other weapon masters have disciples too. (should be a given at this point). Kenichi's going to fight Kajima.

Mizuno · 2013-07-27, 16:17

The good guys (Ryouzanpaku masters) were already way outnumbered with just 1S9F and now there are multiple high class weapon masters on the other side too. It's overkill.

Ken Sanders · 2013-07-27, 20:11

And now Kenichi must face new set of disciples from "The Hachiou Executioner Blades" of the Yami's weapon division. He still has to face the remaining members of Yomi as well.

There's one way for Kenichi to stand up against his next opponents, A Full-course weapons training from Shigure herself.

But I think Kenichi's first opponent would be Hyougo, Kodachi disciple. But for now we'll have to see how he fares on his next challenge.

Spoiler for The Hachiou Executioner Blade's weapons:

Not really. We need chapters like this that can properly build up the tension to point that it needs a chainsaw to be cut. But when the fights start, everybody will probably agree that the wait was worth it. I mean, look at the Miu Rescue Arc. Who knew we'd get to see two Satsujinken Elite Masters duke it out? I find that fight as the most complex and epic battle yet.

Johnny · 2013-08-02, 13:13

I'll agree with the useless statement for the first part. It's done got way old seeing Kenichi being used as a training dummy and nothing more...

The latter was decent and it looks like it's going to be a Masters/Masters and disciples/disciples battle royale. I just hope Kenichi and his friends aren't too overshadowed with the coming master fights and given their due...

DarkRaven · 2013-08-20, 00:17

chapter 534 damn things are getting really good, go team Ryouzanpaku (minus shigure and the elder) kick the one shadow nine fists asses!!

Tempest35 · 2013-08-23, 09:41

...no matter how I look at it, just what sort of 'weapons training' were you thinking of in that pose, Shigure!?

I stopped reading the series because the masters/yami are overshadowing the disciples. I don't think that's going to change, especially with Yami being set up as the main antagonists. The disciples have no hope of ever fighting them.

Johnny · 2013-08-23, 12:24

Nah, the chapter before said he will one day stand with them.

Maybe in a twenty year timeskip...

I would say it would be possible if you take into account how long he's actually been learning, and his growth rate compared to others he's defeated. However, we've hit a brick wall about 200 chapters ago and now I don't see it possible anytime soon...

ImperialFlameGod8190 · 2013-08-23, 20:40

Honestly the only possible thing that could come out of this that is any good is Miu meeting her father again other then that this will just be another arc with a lot of battles and kenichi sitting on the sidelines

OliverTwist · 2013-08-23, 20:49

You know I wonder if the author is planning a time skip here? I can see the elder disappearing and the rest of the masters losing since from what we've been shown so far there's no way they're winning a 4v7 or whatever it is. Kenichi as he is can't affect the outcome of any fight against a master. The only problem's I see with there being one is no more high school and I'm not sure how he would be trained.

Alhazad2003 Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2011	Spoiler for Chapter 533: It's already out, and the tension is growing. OSNF to make a public announcement, and protected by the police no less! Boris finds Big Lock, and it seems Alexander and Diego are about to emerge, seems they have a reason to escape now. I'm foreseeing Saiga making an official declaration of war on all katsujinken, this could be where Miu learns the truth about her father. Of gosh! :O Please don't tell me she tries going after Saiga, please! That'll be a disaster waiting to happen and then some! Though with Hayato diverted, who's gonna hide the truth from her then? Anyway, can't wait for the next chapter, looks like it's gonna get ugly. Until then...
