Ok, NOW I really want to see Shigure and two disciples/low experts simply survive 7 elite masters for long enough until reinforcement comes, or somehow manage to run away.
Siegfried! It is now time for you to crash your Cessna 172 into this boat! You blew up one before so I'm sure you have enough money for another one

I can't wait to see how Shigure gets out of this one.
Also, that archer lady on the last page had some impressive muscles. I have a feeling that the kimono lady will be my favorite weapons master, though. The Leader who is fighting Hayato seems cool, too.

I want to see Sieg dive bomb this ship so badly. I want to see him play a major role again. Sniff sniff. Where is my immortal composer!?

Interesting twist, but I like it. I'm interested in seeing what the other masters do. Obviously Yami doesn't seem to be posing a threat right at the moment like the weapons division is, but I'm sure as soon as Ryozanpaku goes after the weapons division, Yami will make some sort of move.
Welp, I guess it's time for Elder to randomly show up, a bit hurt, and destroy everything with the help of Tanaka.

Thank you so much! He's got to come around, he's actually been slowly involving through the chapter. And isn't like, 20 years old!? That's 2-3 years younger than Shigure, he could be a master now.

Well, he did just lose in a close battle to Hermit..so...not a master.

I don't think it's ever been stated if there was a OSNF or not back then. It's possible that Saiga created it himself.

Holy crap! Shigure was clinging to the chain with her toes. That was surprisingly sexy! xD
This is really intense. Waaay better than the previous arc.

I still like the amusement park arc more since it had Ryuto being a badass and Tanaka getting his head smashed by Ogata.

I guess I was just so annoyed throughout the entire arc that I refused to let the ending fix it for me.

7 weapons division guys. Even Shigure will have trouble with this one. What's gonna happen!?!

Kenichi and Miu's ascension to Master Class?

That would be nice but highly unlikely.

I might stop reading if a disciple became a master just like that.
Anyway, they haven't noticed Shigure, right? She might just stealth her way out. I dunno about Miu and Kenichi. Maybe she can sacrifice them.

We're talking about him having a sudden increase in power and a off-panel victory does not count.

I think Shigure sadly is gonna get seriously injured here, even though I dont want to believe it

@Baby Joe
I actually don't think that Ken and Miu ascension is too illogical of a move.
Kenichi has shown feats that are "not quite human anymore" since Korui Nuki and Ryuusei Seikuken. He could launch a kick so powerful that the ground cracks under his feet, casually walk out of a collapsing building, etc.
Miu has managed to dodge a low master's flurry of slashes more than once, and can clearly dodge an expert's slashes almost indefinitely. Kenichi could then KO said expert with 2 hits.
And they had been training and improving since then... Kenichi has not unlock his ki potential yet... Seeing how collossal his foundations had been built up, I suspect that the powerboost associated with unlocking ki will be much greater than the Takeda event or the Rimi/Miu event.

I agree that is a good point.

Kenichi got demolished by a master even though he had back up and knowledge of his weakness. It's only been about a week or so since then. It hasn't been hinted at that he's near that stage. Becoming a master is a process, not a power up, and I'd hate to see Kenichi become one due to some random power boost. I don't think we're going to see Kenichi go above disciple class in this manga.

Never. That will never happen.

Well right their, I hope your horrible wrong. If anything I want Kenichi and friends to sooner or later make master class, because isnt that the goal of a martial arts.
I can agree that he wont make it in this manga, if they make another one where it shows them grown up and making a new disciple or something.
But to kenichi being a master your totally right, he is no where near the master class, when he fought (Superman) who just got into master class, he verily was able to do anything, and you seen the results of (superman) sorry dont remember his name, and ogata battle was in which was after kenichi tried landing a hit on ogata when he knew what to do and when

Oh, I do believe we might see Kenichi as a master class in an epilogue or something. I just think this manga is about Kenichi's journey as a disciple, so it's not going to follow his adventures as a master. Only time will tell, though.
Did anyone else notice how crazy this guy looks?
I thought that he would never return!
