HSDK Battle 484 Released

Nice chapter... It seems rimi wants revenge.

I'm betting Rimi will be much better at running from bears than Kenichi was. Also, I would'nt be surprised if she comes back after learning some kind of "Rimi-Seikuken".

What the ffffffuuuu-- Shiratori's now a guy? GUY OR GIRL?! WHAT IS THEM?! HERMAPHRODITE?!

On the other hand, I like the totally cool shot with Miu and Renka, looking down all cool and stuff.

lol easy dropping at it best.

Mikumo, dat ass and boobies!

I can't help but wonder if they're going to fill the spot in the Nine Fists. Well, probably. Because if they didn't they wouldn't be nine fists. derp

The part with all the people from the SA was pretty funny. Kenichi gets jealous around Takeda and Miu gets jealous around Renka. First time I've noticed the Miu and Renka thing though. Or maybe I just forgot.. iono.

Also, is it me, or do some characters look a little different? The ones that caught my attention quickly were Mikumo (well, how could you not notice her in the first place?) and Natsu. It's always just possible that it's been so long since I've actually seen them that they look different to me.

going to be some really good fights in the future, we got Kajima, Berserker, and our mystery man, and we still have to see who Tanimoto and Ryuto are still going to fight

Wow so nobody cares at all about Junazard dying huh? Interesting...it actually seems that they wanted him to die. Mikumo seems to suggest that he was detrimental to there plans. However, she might've just said that as an excuse to dodge Ogata's accussations. Very interesting though..it seems that there is a lot of strife within Yami right now.

Rimi's going for training with Ogata in the mountains...she's going to come back insanely strong, but have some glaring weakness that Miu will likely exploit..but..ugh. Ogata is going to experiment on her or something. I'm anticipating a huuuuge Rimi vs. Miu fight though. All the foreshadowing for the matchup is in place and it seems like it'll be deadly. But what path will Rimi take? Sei or dou...I anticipate sei but...she might go with dou to match Miu thinking it's what she needs to beat Miu and I think that's all she's obsessed with right now. Will Rimi learn seikuken? I have my doubts..she seems too hyper to be able to learn a technique like that. Honestly though, I wouldn't be surprised if Ogata teaches her the seidou goui. We know the technique isn't completely unusable due to the fact that Shou also used it against Kenichi. It just can't be used for long periods of time.

Overall though this arc is promising to be a great one. Super excited for this.

He's still a guy. They fixed their translation mistake from last time. Now if they'd just stop calling Rimi by a wrong name I'd be happy. It's Atalante not Atlantis. Is there any way to tell them?

Matsuena's style is changing over the time. I liked it best during DoD, recently his drawings look kind of generic and Natsu looks more and more like a mix between Sho and Kaku. ^^"

But yay NATSU!!!!!! I have missed you so much. Please play a bigger role in this arc.

I wonder what kind of evil experiments Kensei will do to poor unsuspecting Rimi. And what is he up to. Mysterious guy.

On a related not: Manga vol. 48 will be released on 9/18. on the very same day we'll also get a release of the Kenichi Plus manga. (Natsu/Sho, Loki, Renka side stories)

I believe this is the translator if you want to contact him.

I always figured her name was Atlantae.

This gave me an idea about what could happen. My ideas always seem improbable to me, so this is probably improbable.

And I don't have enough time to tap it out so..... I'll do it later.

Thank you! Hm, you have to be a registered member if you want to contact anyone. *sigh*

Just to be safe I checked the katakana again:

Atalante: アタランテー
Atlantis: アトランティス

I'm registered on there. Want me to tell him?

Crazy theory time.

Ogata is taking Rimi into the mountains to train. As our Rimi brought up, Rimi Rimi will have to pick either Dou or Sei. As we know, Ogata has a thing for teaching his disciples Seidou Goui. (He taught it to Ryuto and Sho, but everyone knows that.) Rimi will more than likely be the same. I think it's pretty obvious sometime after this training, Rimi is going to fight Miu. More than likely with Ogata, as well as his other disciples watching or maybe it'll all be some big fight going on simultaneously like the Agaard+Kokin/Apachai+Kenichi fight with Ogata fighting Tanaka, Kenichi fighting Ryuto, on down the list of SA people and Ogata's other disciples. Ryuto is going to see Rimi use Seidou Goui, something clicks in his mind, and realizes he doesn't want what happened to him to happen to Rimi. This spirals into Ryuto attacking Ogata and either getting killed or getting saved somehow ooooooooor Rimi ending up in a wheelchair and broken just like Ryuto. But that last option would be heartbreaking.

I hope this all makes like a little sense grammatically. I stopped and started back again like 10 different times. And all on my phone too.

That would be awesome if something like that happened, you know, the one with Ryuto realizing what Ogata did to Rimi and not wanting what happened to him to happen to Rimi. Although everyone will probably not like anything repetitive, but yeah, a Rimi fight with Miu is bound to happen. Or maybe a Rimi vs Renka?

Yeah so I'm also fairly positive that Rimi will either be picking between Dou or Sei or between the katsujinken or the satsujinken. Ogata said that they're going to the mountains because all martial artists go to the mountains to train themselves. Kenichi did this exact same thing with the Elder..and if you recall Akisame was worried because he knew what the Elder was doing by taking him to the mountains. He was going to make Kenichi choose between the satsujinken or the katsujinken. So I'm mostly convinced that that is what Rimi will be doing. We'll find out here if she decides to be a killer or not.

I like the idea of Ryuto going out to save Rimi from the seidou goui. This looks like it's going to be a full blown Rimi arc ( YES YES OMG YESSSSSSS AL:JSDOFHWAPOINV:KSADDJ:) and we're going to see the development of a Yomi disciple and exactly what the One Shadow Nine Fists do to make them a part of the killing fist. I can see Kenichi, Miu and others of the Shinpaku Alliance coming to her rescue and Rimi siding with the good guys..but I just don't know what will happen. One thing is for certain though. There will be another match between Rimi and Miu and Rimi is not interested in losing this time. I really think she's about to get a huge boat load of character development. Was I'm so excited.

As for Rimi vs Renka, I think that's unlikely. Renka doesn't have any dynamic against Rimi. She would only really get involved if Rimi were to go after Kenichi directly.

Rimi's already satsujinken. Everyone in Yami and Yomi is.

I doubt she's killed anyone yet and I doubt she has the drive to want to. Just because she's in homicide, I don't think that automatically classifies her as a satsujinken.

Regardless, the comparison with Rimi's mountain trip to Kenichi's still stands.

I doubt she has too. I doubt most of the disciples of yomi actually have, or if it's been said they had, I don't remember it. The thing is, you can't be in yami or yomi unless you have killing intent. That's what they're both built from. I'd say she has the possibility to go from satsujinken to katsujenken, but right now she is definitely satsujinken.

The comparison still stands, yeah. She's going to the mountains to train, and make a choice. Hers will be between dou and sei though.

I don't know if Rimi has the killing intent part though. Really she isn't even a part of yomi yet. She's in Titan. I think she's at a level below Tami right now.

Also even shou wasn't a satsujinken. He couldn't kill the bird, remember?

Rimi is part of yomi. Just as Raichi and Hongo's two other disciples are. She's just not part of the main group, if you want to call it that.

Sho was still satsujinken. He had killing intent towards Kenichi, didn't he? And I don't think Sho would ever kill a bird regardless. He is the one with wings.

And again, you can't be in yami or yomi unless you have satsujinken. It's literally what they're all about.


So, what do you guys think Rimi will be? Dou or Sei? I think she'd be pretty damn amazing if she was Dou with that speed. Pretty much an unstoppable force.

Since Rimi is neutral, maybe she can mix Dou and Sei without self-destructing like Ryuto. That would make a rematch with Miu much more even. (Evil Miu vs Mega Rimi)

I doubt Rimi's training will finish too quickly, so there's probably time for a short arc in the meantime. Random enemies from Yami? Laughing fist prison break? Renka's siblings show up?(I'm half expecting a young Bruce Lee with cat ears) With Ogata busy training Rimi, Berzerker and the other mystery guy are unlikely to show up, so Natsu and Kajima are pretty much the only ones who might fight Kenichi anytime soon.(it could be Natsu's "initiation") And I just can't picture anyone fighting Chikage.(Ukita wouldn't let them, anyway)..............Wait a minute........What if Mikumo, sensing weakness in Chikage, forces her to fight Ukita?

Chapter is out by MangaStream now.

Mangastream late as ever.

Now if they'd just stop calling Rimi by a wrong name I'd be happy. It's Atalante not Atlantis. Is there any way to tell them?

You know I'd never thought about what her name meant due to the whole Atlantis translation until now but Atalante, the girl who could never be beaten in a foot race (without cheating). That's quite clever, wonder what codenames the other members of Titan will get.
