Why only so few information about the Yomi members? I need to know if Natsu and Honoka got married eventually. Why does Chikage get more screentime than Natsu?
Oh, and it seems Lona is still going after Hongo. Good luck, princess.
Where is Saiga?

@erdbeerkeks Only so much you can put in 24 pages I guess but not talking about Saiga at all is a dick move. Also Kenichi has a move with his name in it that's awesome!!

@Raigou I'll just assume from that one page that Natsu is going to be a Yami master.
But really, I thought Saiga would be reunited with his family and come to live at Ryozanpaku with them. And now he seen neither with Yami nor with Ryozanpaku. What is this?

I think I found Saiga in Mangastream's scans. Very last page that one picture hidden behind the Ryozanpaku group shot. The Eder has his arm around someone who could be Saiga.
Rimi is best Rimi. Ryuuto sure is a lucky guy.

Well its a sad day, but a decent enough sendoff at the end. Doesn't look like a follow up is coming, but I guess Masteuna will be doing something later.

"But I'll save that story for another time..." So whats he gonns do next? A serous time skip? Like a shit ton in the future? We can clearly see him and Miu's marriage photo, and a photo of their kid. So it looks like Nijima finally got his "martial arts" company. That magna lock wheel thing is like iron man level, dont think theres any more deficits. What does bother me is the fact that the only people that are a part of this... are the people who were part of the old series that are rememberable. What about Koga? Where are the new people? So essentially he finished it while giving everything we wanted, without of course time skipping. Apparently no masters ever went to the olympics. Thats really weird. Why swim when you can literally walk on water. So its been like 5 years since we last saw them? Ukita was a 3rd year, and now he's a junior in college. So 4 years actually. So Kenichi's rate of improvement has increased to the point he can fight just as gracefully as Miu(he literally changed the flow of the battle to the point where the guy freed the bankers instead of killing them) and is a master in sheer immensity of his Ki.
Edit: It doesn't look like anyone got any stronger during this time tho. Also apparently a supper growth spurt occurs when you train in martial arts, Miu's boobs look much less... "large" yet awesome. Also everyone on earth looks exactly the same as from japan, he didn't even try to make the Dutch look Dutch.

These one-shots may take place in the hsdk universe.

@Combatmaster1o3 The one with a student jumpimg all over the place might be but he could be tired of Kenichi after 12 years/doesn't know what to do with it any more, so I'm expecting sth unrelated.

Welp, I guess that's it. At least Raichi made a small cameo.

Seriously, only one panel for Natsu? That's it? Really!?

It's over. I don't know what to do with my life anymore. XD
But seriously, i loved the manga, and it has some of my favorite characters of all time. I'll miss them.

A/N Lona/Rona must really love Hongo.

@Delirium Trigger I hope she finds him and drags him into a marriage. I think she might be able to do it.
@Cam Same here. I feel so empty and don't want it to be true.
Hopefully there will be some nice extra images in the remaining manga volumes. I need more Natsu.

A satisfying end. And yes, not enough natsu, but in general alright. That one panel with berserker and Ogata was great.

So think their ever be a chance of Kenichi the Mightiest Master to come out or think this story is officially over
citizen_lion
Sep 13 2014 06:23 PM
no reason why it won't come out. They already showed him in the end scene as a master (that arm is not Sasaki's arm...), so no reason why not.
Edit: that scene at the end is Kenichi as a legendary master 0.0 He married Miu and had a daughter. That meant he had finally surpassed the Elder, or at least Garyu X (which would still put him at low grandmaster)
Someone on another forum stated that the wedding picture is not of Ken and Miu, but of Natsu and Honoka! It makes total sense. That's why the girl in the wedding pics doesn't look like Miu but rather short and brownish red haired. The picture with the kid is obviously Miu and Ken because the mother is wearing purple spandex.
Ogata
Sep 13 2014 08:58 PM
This was my favorite part! I am glad and honored to know that Ogata-Sexy-Sama-Sensei is super down to earth and lol at Lughs hands on Berserkers shoulders, I have noticed Lugh following Berserker around and he was very very happy when Berserker saved him from scythe disciples trying to throw a sharp post at Lugh+ Lugh was asking if Berserker was ok when Berserker charged at all the Hachiou disciples.
So the end says something along the lines of "there was many adventures as a master but thats a story for another time"
Does this mean that his adventures are a possible sequel for the future?
Glad to know Saiga was in the picture with his dad/hayato at the end of the page but I am curios to know whatever happened to Kajima???
No Rush
Sep 13 2014 10:08 PM
Definitely a rushed ending. I'm disappointed, honestly. While I can understand the author may have wanted to get it over with (despite doing the series for so long, it was relatively unpopular), he could have at least made it more effective. The Eternal Sunset arc had so much buildup for a major turning point in the series. Having Hayato die and Saiga become the new Elder would have brought just that; I was really hoping for that to happen (what happened to Saiga anyway?). That actually would have been a nice ending (of course, killing off Hayato with just a missile would have been rather silly. It would have been great if Hayato had sustained serious injuries during his battles at wherever he was for the majority of the arc. Due to those injuries, he would have been far more vulnerable to the missile explosion and die): Yami is defeated, Hayato dies, Saiga becomes the new Elder and enters Miu's life and everyone resolves to become better martial artists and people in memory of Hayato.
But instead, the author decides to keep everything lighthearted and peaceful. Oh, well.

Or it could be Ryuto and Rimi?

One of the photos shows Renka in front of a large buildign in formal wear. Is she head of a company, or her father's estate maybe? Guess she didn't get Kenichi, but we all knew that wouldn't work out for her. Well if they decide to be really brave and jump far enough to where Kenichi is teaching a disciple that might be cool too.

Could always do a story about their daughter as a disciple.

I'm embarrassed a bit, but I did tear up just a little bit on the last page when he said "that's a story for another day". That's when it really sunk in that my favorite manga is... over. Damn I'm tearing up a little now just thinking about it (don't judge me). Wow. I can't help but feel like the finale wasn't enough. I kept wanting just a little bit more. Like if maybe they extended this chapter to about 40 pages, we could have really got a glimpse at future Kenichi and Miu along with his daughter (I thought that was really cool. That also made me tear up. Also, don't judge me again). Man, I am really sad I know everything eventually has to come to an end, but I do wish that the end could have been staved off just a little longer This manga and its anime version got me through High School and it makes me really sad to see it go. It also makes me feel old
One last note: Adult Kenichi's arm looks mega buff! Reminded me of Sakaki
