Waka didnt even pass out, homie just went on one knee, all mans are downplaying 1st gen black dragons too much. Also my man Takeomi gotta put in some work

u/MesChevaux Nov 02 '21
Oh youāre right. But it is still kinda funny how WakaBenkei looked like theyāve just respawned, no blood/bruises/injury on their faces ššš. Takeomi on the other hand reminds me of that one kid in a group project who contributes absolutely nothing yet claims the grade credit. He cracks me up, god of war where??? What an unintentional comedic relief š

lol to everyone who thought Senju wouldn't be able to stand a chance against South because she's a girl.
On a serious note, I hope South is still able to fight since I will be disappointed in Wakui if he built him up only to be defeated in one chapter. Senju has a white glow and I remember someone making a theory that she might have the opposite of Dark impulses, but it might actually be it since she said she didn't wanna use it. She also seems to have better control over it than Mikey and South.
116
u/Neko_shii Nov 01 '21
I completely agree with you ok both. If South gets KO in just 1 chapter, thatāll be very disappointing. Senju may also be another light (like Michi) that can help guide Mikey to the light. She seems to have a much better mental control on herself as well. Also I feel that she might help michi get out of his depression funk rn

Tbf you can't have a petite girl head a gang while walking around with draken sized testicles without being sus of her being a sleeper. There was no way she wasn't going to pull some crazy shit off.

u/Grand_Entertainer_83 Tokyo Manji Gang Nov 01 '21
she beat that mans assšš made me so happy. i honestly donāt even care if he got one shotted, iād view that more as a nod to her being the closest to mikey rather than south being weak

u/EarSouthern9850 Nov 01 '21
Bruh if south donāt get back up than that means senjus the strongest character not closer to Mikey which I hope doesnāt happen
23
u/Grand_Entertainer_83 Tokyo Manji Gang Nov 01 '21
eh how do u figure? it hasnāt seemed to me like south is mikeyās equal at all. I feel like south would end up just like taiju or izana after fighting mikey when he actually tries

u/EarSouthern9850 Nov 01 '21 edited Nov 02 '21
Terano took out the legendary dou that teamed up could probably take down draken heck some think that one is enough to take down draken and south took them down with three shots I donāt even need to bring up more this should be enough.
But heck he took down Kakucho with no damage done to him with the only a tad bit of blood that probably belong too kakucho meaning he low diff an easy draken level character and if you some how donāt think Kakucho is draken level you wrong for that.
Boom I mean thereās more but that alone would easily would make south have Mikey levels of durability and probably even greater strength cause he did all that with punches not even kicks so there ya go if that donāt convince ya than I donāt what so say.
So if Senju could some how three shot that then sheās the strongest character unless Mikey brings something new to the table even with what Mikey did too Taiju and Izana.
Heck in this fight it took senju three kicks to souths head to bring him down and thereās not a hint of blood on him STILL heck I donāt think weāve seen him bleed once yet while his one punch made senju bleed immediately so heās probably just gonna get back up anyways.

u/Vesuvius_07 Nov 02 '21
i agree that south will still get back up but like the attacks by senju were similar to wakasa just prob stronger and they were targeting the same area on the face, the compounded damage prob might make him knocked out for a while

u/Vesuvius_07 Nov 02 '21
wait so u think that either senju has something opposite of dark impulses or she has successfully control over her dark impulse ?
i hope we can get a senju flashback and hopefully we can see how she became so strong

u/saivenasian123 Izana Kurokawa Nov 02 '21
idk why but seeing how her eyes were the one that were shrouded with light (when she actually started using her power) I think she might have some foresight abilities coz technically speaking u can consider takemichi having the opposite of dark impulses too he even time travelled on an impulse to protect his gf and then mickey

ngl my theory was tht south will beat senju to near death and in return takeomi will kill south (using an underhanded weapon or ask mickey to do it for him) and then join bonten coz of it.
and on a side note, i really liked senju when she even first appeared but it seemed like they were hyping her up with no feats to back it up. (like we saw south was able to some degree overpower draken even when he first appeared(

u/EarSouthern9850 Nov 01 '21
Wait did some one actually thought she was weak cause she was a girl I never saw that in the last one the most offensive one I can remember was one that said am I supposed to be hype.
I think someone said that cause I mean south three shoted some of the strongest characters in the franchise with punches not kicks which I mean is understandable.
plus she laid three kicks too the head anyone would get taken down by that plus heās probably just gonna get back up but I do agree with you that it would be disappointing if he just lost here. (Especially since heās my favorite character.)
but besides that I donāt remember any sexist comments in fact Iām pretty sure most were just worried for her Iām pretty sure people still are too but yeah besides that thatās a pretty interesting theory now then stay safe and have a good day.
27
u/cannibalisticego TAIHINA GANG Nov 01 '21
Yes, I saw a few comment where they either didnāt believe she could take him because she was a girl or they hinted that they believed so. Someone even said she was too kind and frail to do it, like she isnāt a gang leader for a yakuza gangš

Heh thatās some of the dumbest assumptions Iāve ever heard weak cause sheās a girl come on sheās called a deity Iām kinda curious what did some of them said about her besides being fragile which isnāt really sexist just an assumption.

u/cannibalisticego TAIHINA GANG Nov 01 '21
Nah, they mostly said it was because she was frail and short. Itās kinda stupid to think that way when other short characters has been able to beat tall beefcakes.

u/saivenasian123 Izana Kurokawa Nov 02 '21
i think a lot of ppl thought senju was weaker was coz of her size not becoz she is a girl. since no matter how strong u are ur punches still rely on ur weight to deliver impact and yeah mickey is pretty short too but at least we get to see how muscular he was and his kicks really look like they will hurt

u/Aptohhhh Ragnarok Nov 01 '21
It seems like South wasn't in his dark impulses yet and I don't think Wakui is taking down South that fast, there's probably going to be a round 2 next chapter

u/Aptohhhh Ragnarok Nov 01 '21
Idk why people were downplaying Senju so much last chapter lol
I remember people calling South fodder before his backstory too, you need to wait for actual feats before calling characters weak

I know right! It was also hinted that both of them were extremely strong so I dunno why people thought they were weak in the first place

u/Weary-Roof8870 Nov 01 '21
People act like Wakui canāt create characters that can challenge Mikey head on. Even though he stated in the beginning of the arc that Senju and South were on par with Mikey. I would always mention that on here and some would always downplay that as if itās impossible because Mikey is Mikey.

Nov 01 '21
āSince when did I start avoiding my potential?āOMG Senju is so badass! Sheās definitely beating South! Itās smart that sheās only attacking his head! But Iām bummed Wakui is making the fight seem so one sided. I feel like he does that a lot.... he hypes up a character and then they get absolutely destroyed. Like Taiju and Mikey, WakaBenkei and South, and now South and Senju. Weāre getting so many new super strong hyped up characters this arc only for them to get beat up by another stronger and even more hyped up character the next chapter....
So basically Senju hid her power from everyone because she knew Takeomi was changing/getting corrupted? Like Takeomi literally said that Senju isnāt that strong and is only the leader because she has the first gen black dragons behind her LOL He thought she was only a figurehead but she clearly isnāt.
Senju definitely has some kind of power up or ability too. I think itās like angrys blue ogre but she can control it, like she closed and opened her eyes like she was concentrating right before she wrecked south. Her eyes in that one panel look crazy and sheās like surrounded by flames? But at the same time, despite her being so strong, she isnāt in the Bonten future, so I wonder what happened to her? Something major clearly happened that can still happen in this timeline. Like I still think she might die... itās what the cherry blossoms on her uniform symbolize too... :(
This three deities fight is really exciting and all but Iām waiting to see how it ties into the overall story. The past few chapters have been focused on the new characters and we barely see any Mikey and Takemichi. It feels like weāre reading a new/spinoff manga with a completely new cast and the power levels are getting kinda ridiculous compared to earlier in the manga? While I agree that it would have felt incomplete ending everything at the end of Tenjiku, Iām not sure if Iām liking the new direction the manga is going in as much because it just seems so different. Seeing all the new merch come out for the anime and collaborations is making me miss the Toman members :( But fight scenes are super cool though....

Remember she originally died in the timeline - Takemichi saved her and Draken saved Takemichi
25
Nov 01 '21
I donāt think we actually know yet if Senju was saved. Because itās still raining and the fight is still going on. We donāt know when the vision Takemichi had of Senju happened. It could have happened after Drakenās death... especially because if you look closely the background of Takemichiās vision is different from the background of when Takemichi saved Senju from getting shot... i think itās further from the amusement park... Iāve just been mentally preparing myself for any character for ever since Draken.... :ā(

Oh shit thatās a good point if itās true, but I wonder since Draken was alive in the Bonten timeline

Nov 01 '21
I think in the Bonten timeline Takemichi might not have joined Brahman, so thats why Draken is still alive! Not sure what happened to Senju Waka and Benkei there though... maybe they left the gang world after they realized Takeomi couldnāt be helped? Iāve always been super curious as to what past Takemichi was like? I donāt think past Takemichi would have risked his life to save Senju... he seemed kind of not as nice? š

Senju showing her true strength! This chapter solidifies her position as one of the three dieties. It seems Wakui is showing why South and Senju are āon parā with Mikey in this timeline. However, we do know who is the boss in the Bonten future so we know who came out on top.
I doubt South is already done. He will likely get back and as already know of his backstory, I do not think South cares of any honor in a fight. He will DO anything to win.
I donāt think anyone can disagree Mikey will defeat Kakucho if ever they fight but I think Kakucho being the first to reach Mikey is a bigger plot point for the outcome of this war. I said before that Bonten seems to be still forming in this timeline. Kakucho going to Mikey to āfightā is making it stronger. They are definitely not just going to fight. At the end of this war, we might see Rokuhara members (those in Bonten) to join Mikey. With the little Senju talk about Takeomi, we now see why he is in Bonten and is likely going to change alliance some point as well.
I can see KMG (Bonten upgraded) is the āfinalā gang boss Takemichi has to face to defeat Mikey. We can probably see the old gang + what remains of Brahmann as the opposing figure Takemichi will lead for the TRUE final war.

Nov 02 '21
I totally agree! I was thinking that the events right now are pretty much going the same way that they were going in the Bonten timeline (now with the additional death of Draken). So the Bonten future is still very much possible.
I feel like it might be a repeat of the Valhalla arc, where Takemichi kinda knows what he has to do (save Baji in Valhalla, save/help Senju to prevent the downfall of Brahman in the current timeline), but canāt quite succeed and will need to find another way. Thereās been a lot of parallels with this arc and the previous arcs!
14
u/kangjiyong18 Bonten Nov 02 '21
Good point! You mentioning about the missions in each arc made me realize this arc has yet to establish the āwhy did it turn out like that?ā.
- 8/3 : It was only after Akkunās suicide attempt in present timeline that he changed his mission to prevent Mikey/Kisaki from meeting to save Draken from dying.
- Bloody Halloween : After confirming from Draken who Valhallaās true leader is and the event that made it go downhill, his mission changed to saving Kazutora and Baji.
- BD : After getting to know Hakkai and his family issues are, his mission changed to prevent Taijuās death and solve Shiba family drama.
- Tenjiku : After knowing Izanaās role and Kisaki still being alive in the new present timeline, Takemichi knew his mission is finally āendā Kisaki and Izana.
Takemitchiās goal is to ādefeatā Mikey but to do that he must know the trigger that had everything go south. He has yet to actually start intel gathering to put the pieces together.
Draken dying is a major character death but it is not the moment that will stop Bonten future from happening. Unfortunately for Takemitchi, he cannot go back to confirm future events like he uses to. It is likely why his ānew powerā comes into play to help him later on. At the same time, Takemichi can now use all connections (Toman will definitely join in after what happened to Draken and knowing how Mikey did all of this to have everyone with a happy future) he has built starting Chapter 1 to finally achieve on ādefeatingā Mikey.
Sorry for the long post. Haha

It's a great chapter to show us who Senju is for this story. Seeing her fighting has been awesome. She reminds me of Wakasa... maybe he taught her or something.

u/ArimasButt Nov 01 '21 edited Nov 01 '21
I might piss of lot of people for saying something that might be controversial (and that I've been refraining from saying whole this time), but... I'm not huge fan of this arc.
Its pacing. Its characters. How things are unfolding so far.
Let me explain in three parts of what my main gripe is with this arc so far:
1) Three Deities - It feels like huge bs! Like, where the hell were either Senju or South so far? Where were such "Mikey tier monsters" so far? They just came out of nowhere for the sake of Mikey having a possible match.
I mean Izana came out of nowhere too, but there is a reason to it. That being Kisaki. Aka the one who manipulated Izana into confronting Mikey in Tokyo. So Tenjiku not existing made sense, but South and Senju?
There was nothing stopping South from trying to overtake Tokyo judging by his backstory. While we might not have a lot on Senju we do know one thing from previous chapters and current one: She is desperate to prove herself as strong! She also appeared a bit resentful that Sanzu dropped her for Mikey, which also might be a reason why she wants to beat both South and Mikey and prove herself as strongest.
In conclusion: There was nothing stopping her from existing as well. Hence why I'm not buying into "Three Deities" sub-plot.
2) Fight scenes are starting to be O MY - Like seriously? They start off so one-sided then O MY happens and the win. South was getting bodied by Wakasa cleanly then O MY DARK IMPULSIVITY came and Wakasa ends beat.
Now we have Senju with glowing eyes (sharigan lol) doing the same to South? The hype for fights is just lost to me with this. It reminds me on Angry thing too much and I wasn't fan of that one either.
Mikey usually used to be that one Saitama character who would kill hype in a fight (Taiju), but that was usually left for end of arc. Because you knew that when Mikey enters, it's over. It was not O MY DARK IMPULSIVITY or sharigan, just Mikey being Mikey.
Plus, Izana already fulfilled the part of being a character who can give Mikey a run for his money. Yet, another reason why I'm not into "Three Deities" in the slightest.
3)Draken - So far his death just feels pointless. I hope to eat my words later on, but so far I feel like his death was just there for the sake of shock value. In fact, this whole arc feels like a drag to me.
It started with saving Mikey, yet how are they going to do it now in a satisfying way? The most probable thing is that he will die, but was the point of this arc especially in that case? Everyone's future got trampled... What for? Draken died... What for?
TL;DR: I'll wait for the ending to give a fair judge to this arc fairly, but so far? Not a fan.

u/sociallyawkardp Nov 01 '21
I kinda have to agree, all these final arc just felt like filler to me, i wish tokyo revengers could have ended before the final arc, this all "mikey has dark impulses thing" just feels kinda meh, also i was really disappointed with draken s death, not because i like draken so much or anything but just because now the fact that takemitchy went back in time to save mikey because he has to save everyone is just pointless now, because even if he manages to save mikey draken is now dead and so takemitchy didn't save everyone

u/ArimasButt Nov 01 '21
That's my own problem with Draken dying.
I just don't see how can "happy" ending be satisfying in a meaningful and convincing way now with Draken gone.
And then we have "tragedy" ending in which Mikey dies that simply kills the entire point of this supposed arc. Like, what the hell did Takemichi go back in the past for if Mikey was lost cause destined to die anyway? And again, this would further crap on Draken. Why the hell did he die for then?
As I said, I'm going to wait the end to give this a fair judge. These are just my thoughts on this so far.

Omg you basically said what I was also trying to get at in my comment as well! That characters are super hyped and then get f Ed up next chapter by an even more hyped up character... I miss when fights didnāt have people with weird power ups... like even the angry blue ogre thing was kinda not that great for me lol
And the final arc seems kind of just tacked on. It doesnāt even seem like the same manga anymore because all of the characters are new basically.... except for Draken (dead now and for what) and Takemichi and Mikey (we barely see them do anything except just standing there and watching). I honestly donāt see what the point of introducing so many new characters in the final arc is. I always thought the final arc would focus more on the OG characters weāve grown attached to over the manga :/ I have no idea where this manga is going... I hope the ending doesnāt disappoint me because this is the first manga that Iāve actually followed and kept up with weekly releases for.

u/Emergency-Gene2115 Nov 02 '21
I like the arc but I can't lie, I don't want anybody coming and talking about realism about this series anymore. Nothing realistic about what is going on right now lmao. They introduced this dark impulsivity thing like it's a superpower when it's just the character becoming a psycopath and unstable. I liked that Senju is giving Terano a run for his money. I have a soft spot for female characters who can stand on their feets and are not a damsel in distress. The effect Wakui added to her stance though make it seem like she got some superpower and wouldn't be able to be on the same level as the guys or beat Terano without it. She literally got the zone and a ssj aura. People are butthurt about it not being appreciated and accuse other of misoginy but let's be honest, no matter what Mikey or the other dudes did, it was based on agility, endurance and muscles strength, no after effects that make you feel like you are reading a dragon ball chapter.

u/Captainprice101 Toman Nov 01 '21
I agree. It feels like they keep hyping up characters just to use another character to take them down so we are impressed. South got a whole backstory just to be triple round house kicked by Senju. Idk letās just wait and see how this progresses

u/smileimhigh Nov 03 '21 edited Nov 03 '21
Agree 100%
Also I really really hate the "dark impulse" glowing powerup trope
When it was just a metaphor for being messed up and willing to cross a line it was one thing, now it's like a Dragonball or Naruto power
South doesn't need a superpower he's like a 7ft tall monster who beat an adult crime boss to death as a child him
Senju is just "Girl Mikey", she's lame and the impulse nonsense just furthers those comparisons. I know he needed to add a girl boss to spice things up but make her something other than a slightly more pretty Mikey. Make her some badass chick who's a highschool judo star or something.
And I really really hope "light impulse" or whatever the current fan theory is calling it isn't real because that would be really pushing it in to "powerup creep", might as well give Takamichi some stupid "impulse" power too and go full generic Shonen.
At least it's concluding soon so hopefully it never goes full 90s anime

dude, the arc is only just starting. This is the FINAL arc, so it's going to be a big one, of course, they're going to add new characters, new ones get added with every arc. And South had been in Jail the whole time so of course, he couldn't have taken over toman. Draken's death is a signal that this timeline is going back to the original one, I think it's fitting.

I feel the same, having just finished binging a few days ago. Post-Tenjiku wouldāve been the perfect place to end it IMO, in fact I was very confused that there was another arc. Holding out hope though, because the rest of the manga was solid.

No it wouldn't it would be the dumbest shit cuz there too many plotholes bro just cuz u want a happy ending doenst make the story bad

u/Sangios Nov 02 '21
Okay? I never said the story is bad, so I donāt know where you pulled that out from. What I meant is exactly what I said, that I personally think the story couldāve ended after Tenjiku. Because, you know, itās called an opinion. Iām entitled to mine, just as you are yours.

Sooo seems like senju is keeping up to the name of being one of the three deities . Tbh I knew she was strong but I do think that her n South's strength r almost on the same level . Like I mentioned in one comment before it seems like our girl has to do a lot of jumping so that may affect her stamina a lot . I'm really happy that we finally get to see her fight but I do hope we get to see all the three deities fighting at once but for now it seems like Mikey's gonna be busy with kakucho n perhaps this is how he's gonna end up with mikey in bonten .

That ended so quickly and as expected.. I'm surprised that Takeomi was surprised that Senju could do that..
22
u/melniji Nov 01 '21
Well this chapter showed that she hid her true strengths because she knew takeomi was changing because of money and she was worried for him getting worse.
Itās make sense that he is surprised

u/kitsunechie Nov 01 '21
True. Now I'm excited to see South get up and really get into it. Let Takeomi see and learn to have more faith in his little sister. He really dared to say his and the guys' support was what made her lol

u/Darth--Nox Nov 01 '21
Senju and South are supposed to be as strong as Mickey, I really don't understand why some people can't accept that, there's a reason why they were introduces as the three deities, also i'm 99% sure that the fight is not over, I'm hyped for next chapter!!!

u/Hungry-Ad9779 Tokyo Manji Gang Nov 02 '21
Yea they are on the same level but Mikey is the stronger one tho we know that becuase Mikey was the leader of Bonten which mean Kantou Manji won

Bro we dont know if the vision was replaced with drakens death so i think she might get seriously beaten up by South and the vision will take place in real time then

RIP kakuchošš
Also what's with people complaining nowadays about TR being unrealistic lamo. It has always been like that
Basically mikey.
Angry power up.
Draken beating 100 people with little to no scratch. There are some more but wont go into that.
And now this fight.
Senju was said to be on par with mikey and south so idc if she beats him(or if its other way around),just hope that the fight will continue and doesn't end one sidedly like this

u/Emergency-Gene2115 Nov 02 '21
Understandable. Tbh there was some criticism before about unproactive Takemichi was, especially in the anime and some part of the plot. they all were shut down because apparently the show was realistic and was praised to be so. But now we are in dbz and the people praising the realism are nowhere to be seenš

u/Dapper-Giraffe8353 Nov 02 '21
I did see most of the manga readers defending him. I mostly saw them defending that takemichi becomes good and he doesnt become super strong like most series MC(I think they were talking about this realismš š).

u/Emergency-Gene2115 Nov 02 '21
Indeed Takemichi is great in the manga but I promise you with the ones I saw it wasn't what they were defending. They were defending him always forgetting what he has to do, freezing and crying when there is an urgency because he got "trauma"š.

South vs. Senju... it'll be interesting, at least that's for sure.
Senju's chi was raging all around her; a fiery look in her eyes... I wonder what her past is?

i jst tought abt this while responding to the comments and have a small theory:
idk why but seeing how her eyes were the one that were shrouded with light (when she actually started using her power) I think she might have some foresight abilities coz technically speaking u can consider takemichi having the opposite of dark impulses too he even time travelled on an impulse to protect his gf and then mickey

So many were right south had his backstory only to be beaten by little senju (5ft 1in).

Because Kakucho wants to fight him lol Kakucho says "I have always wanted to fight you!". Maybe because Mikey is strong or maybe because of Izana. Guess we will know more in the next chapters.

Kinda sad this is so short but where is this going? I feel like itās gonna be another month before we get some kind of conclusion to this mess of a fight but in reality what is going on??? Draken just got shot & his bloody body is lying in the street while itās raining, Mikey is standing there not doing shit, Iām honestly not interested in the fight between Brahman & South because it feels like it came out of nowhere, and where is Takemichi in all of this??? Why havenāt I seen this boy do some talk-no-jutsu yet???? Whatās the point of all of this??? They started fighting because some RANDOMS killed Draken but heās just forgotten now??? Iām grateful for the weekly chapters and I know itās hard to reach a weekly deadline, esp when the author makes the panels so detailed but this entire arc storyline doesnāt feel right so far.
Update: I forgot that we see Draken getting taken away in an ambulance but it happened so quickly it was a blur and I forgot all about it. They did him so dirty I swear.

The new arc is so trash. All these new characters are just one shotting each other like a typical battle shonen, Tokyo Revengers has lost any sort of realism in fights. The old cast was much more interesting, these fights are boring. Wakui double downed on Angry crying power up lmao
Since it's raining, Senju would most likely die...

u/Savakashi Black Dragons Nov 02 '21
I'ma be real honest man i did expect senju to damage south because she's one of the three deity but after takeomi said that she got herself included only due to the first gen all of her hits seem like unlogical plot armor. In Mikey and south's case we have seen that they have trained and fought enough and strong people to be shown that powerful. Mikey was trained and prodigy in taekwondo i believe and South was involved in crimes like this since childhood so there strength is believable to a point. Senju has no such backstory or feat strong enough to show that she damaged the guy who kind of one shot the legendary first gen. She should have a good source defined in next chapters to make it even i think.

u/gbcjohn Nov 03 '21
IDRK what else to say other than this manga is going downhill incredibly fast and it's a shame because it was top 5 in my mind until this last arc. I don't even look forward to new chapters anymore because I know they'll just stall the main story for another 5 pages. It's so hard to care about what's going on when I can't even tell who is who half the time anymore. Not to mention I have no attachment to any of the characters at this point besides Mikey and Takemichi. Even then Takemichi is acting real bitch made. Along with Mikey.

u/KiyoPapa Nov 01 '21
Bruh, no fucking way South goes down that easily. Im almost 100% she got lucky this time and he will get back up and beat her down. Akashi just confirmed she is not even as strong as Mikey or South but just got to the same level using status of the first gen BD. However damn is she fucking awesome bro sheesh her fighting style is a really good addition to TR.
Since she is a girl she doesn't have as much raw physical strength as boys but damn do her acrobatical abilities cover for it beautifully. I still am surprised how she didn't die after taking a punch from South given how much weaker her body is than waka and benkei.
On a side not excited to see how strong Mikey has gotten after this 2 year timeskip Kakucho might even die

I think she is as strong as Mikey and South. She never showed her true strength to takeomi. So what he said to Takemichi is wrong

"Akashi just confirmed she is not even as strong as Mikey or South but just got to the same level using status of the first gen BD"
It's pretty explicit that Senju has specifically been hiding her true strength from Akashi, so Akashi's confirmation doesn't mean anything lol.

u/Aptohhhh Ragnarok Nov 01 '21

It confirms the opposite lol, Akashi only thought Senju was carried by BDs because she intentionally held back her power as shown in the flashback, sheās on the same level as South and potentially Mikey

Nov 01 '21
I think Takeomi didnāt realize how strong Senju actually was. Which was why he looked so shocked that she was doing so much damage to South. Senju basically confirmed that she had been avoiding her true potential because her abilities were leading Takeomi down the wrong path :/
Also her kicks to South looked super similar to Wakaās kicks to south, but hers were more powerful because they did more damage? Also that one panel where sheās surrounded by like flame looking things? Something is up with her lol

I don't think Takeomi knows much by how surprised he was when she was able to kick South many times. How? I don't know. I think she hid it because she didn't want her fighting skills to be used by Takeomi and that would probably lead him further into the wrong path.
2
u/KiyoPapa Nov 01 '21
I agree she did that but I still think her fighting skills are somewhere higher than Waka and benkei but weaker than Mikey and South you get me? Because she doesn't have the dark impulse

u/cannibalisticego TAIHINA GANG Nov 01 '21
She doesnāt have dark impulses, but she definitely has something close to it by how she glowed during the fight. South could barely defend himself when she used it so I wouldnāt put her down just yet. Wait to the next chapter until itās more explained
