I am re-reading the older chapters which I haven't done for almost two years and I can't believe there are so many characters I don't remember at all. I forgot about the 3 thai grandmasters that Agaard killed until I was re-reading the chapter.

So my question is, did this guy ever make his debut? He is the guy on the right next to Michaels silhouette:




He looks like some crazy grappling master who maybe some sick pervert with that smile of his.

His stature, hairstyle and smile remind me a bit of DIego, but he had already been introduced at that point.

I don't think this guy has been revealed. I wonder who he is.

Oh man, there are so many characters that I completely forgot about until I was re-reading the manga. Another character I forgot was the Koppo master in the mountain that trained Tsuuji. He was known as a master who was unknown to Ryozanpaku and Yami.

But yeah I agree with you, he does resemble Diego as well. Its funny, the first time I saw this panel, I thought that Michael or at the time his silhouette was the hsdk version of boxer Steve Fox from Tekken. I thought he was some satsujinken boxer that both Apachai and James Shiba have either fought or known since Boxing and Muay thai have some cultural clash in real life.

But yeah the grappling master to me seemed like a guy who would be used in the storyline before Michael since his silhouette has a stronger presence then Michaels and really from the picture. Funny thing is, I thought that the scythe was a symbol of the satsujinken masters willingness to kill while Apachai did not. I never knew that it was an actual weapon for a future debuting master. But I wonder who the grappling master is since he has a wicked smile and beastly looking hair and a badass looking grappling pose.

HOLD ON  A SECOND!!!

Under the grappling master, do I see a THIRD silhouette??? It seems like there is Michael,Crazy grappling master and under the grappling master, it seems like another sillhouette!!

I would give Matsuena all to money to get my hands on the storyline he had originally planned before he went all ecchi and got cancelled.
 
And there is indeed a third shadow person. (Pardon the crappy scan). My first thought was Raigou, but I'm not sure.

No man, your scan is EXCELLENT!!!

No doubt that there is infact a THIRD unknown master!!!

Honestly, for the longest time, I thought that the scythe was a symbol of satsujinken idealogy. While for the longest time I thought there was two unknown master and that one of them is a crazy grappler and the other was a boxer that fought Apachai. I always thought that the "Boxer" was some badass satsujinken master as oppose to our beloved but not very strong scythe master Michael.

I agree with you, at this point I would pay 1,200 dollars to Matsuena if he personaly told me what was going to be Michaels role originaly and who are these two shadow masters in this picture. I would pay him more if he drew Apachais past againts these 3 masters he fought.

Maybe they asked him to join Yami?

Its possible that he was already a yami member since the silhouettes represents Agaards knowledge of the opponents Apachai has fought and ofcourse most satsujinken know one another regardless if they are from the weapon team or not.


But once I restarted reading the manga, I thought perhaps he made his debut already and had only a cameo role similar to Elder Wong or the 3 Thai Masters that I do not remember.
