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

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

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.

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.

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 :P

 

One last note: Adult Kenichi's arm looks mega buff! Reminded me of Sakaki :P

Yea, since he was going through all that muscle training you can only guess how strong he's gotten.(To be fair it would make sense that his rate of improvement would increase as his skill increases and the more life threatening the situations are.).

It was Renka's dream to open up a shop after all, albeit with Kenichi.

sad indeed. Let us all be inspired by this masterpiece and work / train harder than ever before. After all, to be a good person in this world is quite hard because we have to hold back a lot. Katsujinken, and all that, hahaha.

 

don't ever push yourself to the point of injury though. That's the only thing in HSDK that I don't quite like. They should have shown the training, and dealing with its effects and fallouts, more, so that the end is that much sweeter (we do have a lot of that up to the Apachai fight). But well, I am glad that the story is already as good as it is. Need to go read again next week!

 

I'm picking up Toriko and Assassination Classroom now, so hopefully the weekly void in my heart will be slightly smaller :D

Some thoughts about Niijima in the last picture of adult Kenichi's desk.

 

It looks like he became a politician of some sorts. At least that's what I associate when I see a bunch of mostly old men in suits arranged for a picture like that. Could it be an assembly of the Japanese parliament? I don't put it behind Niijima to have founded his own party and entering the national elections. What if his party was so popular that it won against the two major parties that have been ruling there since forever? What if Niijima is now president of Japan? May the gods have mercy with Japan.

I though he went to business school, that would make more sense since he runs a business and all.

Yeah, it looks like a graduation photo.  Or Majestic 12.  Whatever.

Kenichi has a scar on his stomach.

I didn't think that wedding picture was Miu.  Short hair.  Didn't look Blonde.  Honoka makes a lot more sense.  

 

I would not expect a continuation.  If the author had some idea, I think Gramps should bit the dust on that missile.  But because he wants to end it clean, he kept Gramps alive.  

 

So...uh... did the old staff master die?  the last time we saw him, he was being slung like a ragdoll by Kushinada.  I must presume so.  

 

Anyway, I really enjoyed this manga.  I'm sad to see it go.

Looked blonde to me, also for what reason does the author have to make it anyone else then Kenichi and Miu. If what your saying is true, Idk maybe he wrote this when his Daughter got maried 0_o.

@Combatmaster1o3 I think it would make more sense for him to become a politician. After all he wants to rule the world and his profile in the guide points a bit towards that direction.

 

@Ranemoraken It looks blonde to me as well. The mangastream version is better and you can see it's indeed blonde. Also I think she put her hair up for her wedding. In case she didn't there is no rule that says Miu can't get a haircut ever. 
The groom is barely taller than the bride which would fit with Kenichi's and Miu's heights. If it were Honoka she would have to have found some else who is not Tanimoto, because Tanimotot is pretty tall and probably grew a bit more from the time he was a teenager.

@Ranemoraken, I also feel that if Matsuena had any real plans for future Kenichi adventures, he could have made things a lot more interesting with the Elder blowing up with the missile. On the other hand, the Elder has all those awesome techniques to teach dear Kenichi, so I will allow his survival.

 

With this last chapter things are left so nice and lovely that we should all just feel happy and not have major hunger for more. Except that we all think there should be more. Maybe, in few years time, Masuena will have another inspiration for Kenichi. I would really really really really really like to see the fight between Kenichi and Elder over Miu.

 

Respect to the author. He was a true champion for giving us this great story. Heartfelt thanks to you, sir!

 

Btw. what will happen to the hsdkfans???

Theory making. Discussions. Analysis. Whatever we want.
