HSDK Battle 533 Released

This okay to do right? I just wanna help.

Those two are funny leaving the prison and coming back like it's no big deal.

Yeah, it's okay. Anyone can make the new chapter release thread.

You would think this prison would have some master level fighters to keep watch on these guys.

was a normal transition chapter

I don't think anyone can really keep watch on these guys. The premise of the story seems to be that the human potential is so great that the very few people who had approached true peak human are literally superheroes, and is far beyond the capabilities of even minor masters to handle.

Excellent chapter however, suspenseful. Diego and Alexander are so awesome. I really hope that they have improved vastly (one can only speculate that they take these trips outside to train with each other out of boredom)

Seems as if there's going to be a confrontation soon. This is great. This means big story progression and we really need some right about now.

Can't wait to see Sakaki's face when he finds out the Big Lock isn't as good as he thought.

Of course it's ok. Thanks for helping!

I'm kind of disappointed with big lock. I was pretty impressed when I first heard about it and now it just turns out to be...well nothing.

Decent chapter. I loved that last page. A group that has Saiga, Mikumo, and Ogata all on the same team is a truly bad ass group indeed.

Did anyone notice Diego Carlo reading that magazine? I think it's Shonen Sunday.

I also liked how Saiga was looking towards the audience in that final panel.

They didn't just break through any wall, they broke through the 4th wall.

Of course it's ok. Thanks for helping!

I know how you feel. If I remember correctly, they said something about walls being made of some special material to keep master-class people inside, and since Ryouzanpaku doesn't kill, I thought that it was awesome for them, to just lock the "bad guys" inside. And now it turns that they just used martial artists pride to keep them inside... bleh

on 2nd tho , its really impressive how these antagonists respect rules of martial arts,

even if they choosen path of blood by slaughterin other MA masters, they are still true warriors ... OP

and Yeah am 100 % sure Diego was readin HSDK manga just take a look at manga cover , its Kenichi's face

Diego was reading an issue of Shonen Sunday that had Kenichi on the cover. I can't wait t see him get back in action, though. He was one of my favorite OSNF members.

I wonder when the disciples of the other weapon masters will be introduced. I mean, they've got to have disciples, right? Those two kids can't be the only ones.

wild, insane speculation mode on!

This arc may be Kenichi's "Saiga moment". Baby Joe's post suddenly inspire me to envision up a scene where the shinpaku members are surrounded by disciples from the Hachiou, who are not as bounded by the same honor code as the OSNF and their disciples. The thought chills me...

And to save his friends from impending death, Kenichi truly goes all out. We have not seen unconscious Kenichi in a long while, and with his current baseline ability, it would be truly terrifying if he succumbs to his subconscious and becomes a "lump of martial arts".

Sei dou goui unconscious kenichi => utterly annihilate everyone in the disciple class in a brutal, crippling fashion... If this is anywhere near the manga's end, then it would be truly epic to end it at Kenichi's ascension to master class as well as his final moral crossroad.

good one @citizen_lion

but in the very last chapter i want to see scene, where older Kenichi+Miu(as his wife) teaching new disciples in Ryo~ dojo

@Artifex no. Renka will be his wife.

@Rimi No. Raichi will be his wife.

@Baby Joe no. You are a bad shipper. Go back to coloring pages.

Kenichi's gonna be a polygamist.

I escaped just now...from your psychological trap.  I will never forgive you.

I keep hoping for Miu to...well...break.  She has had some dark stories, but still has resisted everything.  Still, we're now being promised a darkness unlike the rest.  That's a challenging statement.  Most shonen authors...fail.

I mean...the badguys need to be careful here, they've spent about one week walking down a hallway - epic though it may be.  Gramps might get down before he finally gets off the island.

Of course...I don't think that any of our fighters can take on either gramps or this new leader of the Hachiou Executioners.  If gramps were to lose - there's just...no one else.  So the old man will win eventually, and it will probably be quite cool.  

Of course, who then takes out the One Shadow?  I suspect that Kenichi will defeat his heart - but not his martial arts.  I just don't see Kenichi becoming a master during the manga except in an epilogue.  (boy, if that final battle was Miu versus Kenichi...that would be quite something wouldn't it?  Miu has had a thousand cuts of dark shit, but has survived it all quite admirably.)

Anyway...back to lurking.

@Artifex no. Renka will be his wife.

@Rimi No. Raichi will be his wife.

correction kenichi will have a harem involving all 3!!

Not just any wall was broken at Big Lock. It was the 4th wall.

Now, some more serious thoughts.
Yami is an organization that has vast political and economic influence with their only apparent opposition being those of Ryouzanpaku. In the next couple chapters it appears that they will also have some social influence as they go public with their motives. Sooo Miu is now going to know that her father is the ring leader of Yami and I am almost certain this will sway Miu's emotions enough that she questions which side she will be on. I have mentioned before that Miu's archetype makes her pretty much the most dangerous enemy for Kenichi and this will likely be Matsuena's last opportunity to take the story in this route.

With that said, I think we can finally expect Ryouzanpaku to experience some loses here. If Diego and Alexander return there will be 17 elite masters in opposition to the five currently available at Rzpk. Even though their martial arts pride will stop Yami from teaming up to take out the Rzpk masters, unless the protagonists get some assistance from others like Freya's grand father I do not see how they can succeed. What are people's thoughts?

Upcoming fights I think/want to happen

Akisame vs Kushinada (I'm not sure Akisame can win this one)
Rematch with Agaard and Apachai (?)
Ma Kensei and Sougetsu (I am hoping for a trip to China with lots of Renka!)

I would like to see Ethan's master in the spot light (vs Sakaki?)
Of course Shigure will get lots of action this arc! I real want to see all of her. All of her potential as a weapons user that is.

A proper fight between Berserker and Kenichi

I don't particularly care for the rest of the Shinpaku alliance. (Everyone vs Kajima?)

Ladies and gentlemen, let us walk into the eternal sunset.
 

What do you guys mean they broke the 4th wall? Did I over look something?

Or are you guys referring to him reading the kenichi comic?
