I am a little bit confused, did Kajima Intervene on behalf of one of his masters similar to Rin Intervened to have Shigure not get killed at the ship?
Also, damn so Kajima is also talentless and...has two masters. Makes you wonder if Ganosuke Yokiou is the OTHER master! Anyway nice to know that Kajima is not a pervert and infact a gentleman offering his coat like that.
Oh and I guess seigfried and Nijimma are on the ship and that they just didn't make the last panel. Hopefuly Shigure can be rescued, she has lots of fighting capabilities seeing how she can hold of 3 Hachiou masters with Mildreds bow. Atleast Im glad she is not the typical damzel in distress and that she can hold her own despite being a prisoner.

Im telling u if they did like a final disciple battle like Kajima, Berserker, and Hermit vs. Kenichi,Takeda, and Siegfried then it would be the most epic moment ever!!!

The real mystery is solved. Shigure hasn't been naked because they're making her. She's been naked because she wants to be.
This chapter is sort of enforcing my thoughts from a looooooooong time ago that Saiga is really good and only joined Yami to destroy them from the inside.

I doubt that Ganosuke Yokiou is the other master, because Kajima doesn't have the "color" of a weapon user. Perhaps Ogata?
That said he does have slash scars all over his body...
But the interesting thing is, who is the mysterious Okamoto? He is of average build, looking almost similar to the late Clark Kent, knows Kenichi by name and has a special interest in him, disguise into someone else when training kids, can use both hand-to-hand combat and small bladed weapons, proficient with both strikes and throws, and give off a Ryozanpaku-like vibe.
Maybe he is this man http://www.mangaread...chapter-65.html ? (Akisame's old friend)

Not commented on a chapter in a while but that one was pretty interesting. Kajima's talentless speech was kind of expected. If Shou was uber-talented and kind of a dark male Miu, the only other way to go for a big finale battle would be a more experienced darker Kenichi (plus him looking like the most battered disciple makes sense). Also may partially explain why Saiga seems to show some interest in Kenichi, you'd think if Ryozanpaku was trying the same talentless experiment he's also conducted he'd have an interest. Wonder if there's some backstory there like the original idea of training a talentless big hearted disciple was discussed by Saiga and Akisame when they were friends. Anyway I'm sure it's going to lead to interesting developments.
In terms of the big question of the other master, if it's a known one you would think it would be one with some Ryozanpaku connections to make it relevant. Either that or it's a complete unknown or something ridiculous and out of nowhere like the Elder goes to train him when he goes on his journeys. How crazy would that be? Anyway I have no idea yet.

So... Siegfried's receiving training for his lower body. I always wondered how often he trains that region. Or even how he training regime looks now. And still nothing from Hermit. It's like he doesn't exist to them.. (Yomi, SA hasn't said anything about him, Kensei. etc.)
I'd also like to see other disciples to come at SA's aid. Maybe even Ryuto and Rimi!? The three dragons?

Hey guys, remember in the Original Kenichi manga, there was only Sakaki,Apachai,Akisame,Hayato and Kensei Ma as Kenichis master and that they were "Two" masters away on some mission and in the flashback pic, there was a pic of Shigure from behind and a shadowy figure!
Remember that scene!? I mean look at Mycroft, he made his Kenichi-verse Debut over 10 years ago IRL but he made his hsdk debut during this arc. Ofcourse HSDK is actualy a remake of the original manga which had Berserker as the main antagonist by the name "Snake"
So perhaps the other Ryo master who never was fully and properly introduced in the first series is going to make his debut in the remake which is the HSDK!!!

Also is the reason why I think Berserker is gonna turn good, cause thats what happened in the original

When I look at it, it kinda seems like the elder or the government guy is his other master and I knew he was a good guy from the start

Hells Yeahhh!!!
Its crazy that in the Original Series we had a Berserker or SnakexxxKisara relationship going.
Also its interesting how Shigure refered Kajima as "He,,,reminds me of one of ours"
Perhaps I am over thinking here but, its possible that Kajimas personality takes after the Mystery Master that may have been the unknown unrevealed Ryo master from the original series.
That being said, I woulden't be surpised if Berserker switch sides. Sai Kagerou who was a well known killer became an ally and Shigure held no grudge againts him despite killing her first animal friend. Which means if Sai Kagerou can become a good guy then so can a not so jaded Berserker who has been pretty cool and honorable fighter.

I think Kajima is going to be made out to be a nice guy but later revealed as a deep believer in the Killing Fist. I can definitely see him doing something that causes Kenichi to have a grudge against him, much like how Tanaka had a grudge against Ogata. Kajima's definitely shaping to be one of my favorite characters.

I can see that, also its interesting because when he made his debut long time ago, he was going around and meeting with the shinpaku and most of the shinpaku members mentioned how he has a dark aura about him if I recall correctly!
I wonder if Kajima had a tragic past or abusive family that made him a satsujinken version of Kenichi. I mean Kenichi has a very loving parents and sibiling who care for him a great deal. We also found out that Rachael got in to martial arts because she had an abusive parents if I recall correctly. Possible for Kajima to have had an abusive childhood or a loving parents that were murdered by a group of government officals which led him to Saiga/Yami/Yomi.
Its interesting that Shigure did not sense any killing intent from Kajima since when he met with the Shinpakus he was friendly to them when he tried to recruit them. Though perhaps Shigure may have a crappy Ki sensing ability since she thought Lugh was a master from far away and YET... she failed to recognize 7 Hachiou master Kis while she was on the shore and only recognized it once she got on board.

the second master is either rin, ganosuke, a kuremisago member who sided with saiga and shizuka to oppress the tradition of the kuremisago clan in the past or another person who apachai fought in the past
