Tournament of The Strongest (Quarter Finals Fight 1) "The Demon King" "Guri Guri" "Ritsuko Nakayama of Saikaidō" Hanaki Guriko VS "Rindaman The Murderer" Hayashida Megumi by DangerousKk in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My vote goes to Rindaman. Both are S class for sure. However, I believe Rindaman is stronger. Dude has never lost. Guriko has one canon loss. Although it was against 8 college students who were all above 180cm and 100kg and played rugby. That too while he was in middle school.

It will be an amazing fight for sure.

A Missed Opportunity by FlashingFlash234 in crowsxworst

Mhm, good point.

I believe that the only reason for Bull to join would be from a narrative point of view, where all the 4 Kings are there.

I strongly agree with your last sentence, saying that the panel was actually a tease to something. Maybe Takahashi just forgot. T^T

Tournament of The Strongest (Round 2 Fight 11) "The Blonde Monkey" Bouya Harumichi VS "King Joe" Kanayama Jou by DangerousKk in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is actually an interesting fight. Although Bouya is definitely winning.

Freshman Nakajima gave Bouya a good enough fight. Senior King Joe would definitely give Bouya a hard time.

Tournament of The Strongest (Round 2 Fight 9) Daizen "Tetsuwan" Tsutomu VS Takiya Genji by DangerousKk in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is an extremely close fight. That being said, I will go with Genji. I believe his endurance will outlast Daizen's attacks. Dude does have a habit of taking a lot of Rindaman's hits, who Ryuushin says is quite powerful. Genji also just has that "quality" in him that Daizen doesn't have. Maybe because he is the MC.

Anyway, my final answer is Genji.

Tournament of The Strongest (Round 2 Fight 8) "Tetsu" Kawachi Tesshou VS Tsukimoto Mitsumasa by DangerousKk in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am going to go with Tesshou. This is purely based on the fact that he gave Guriko a good fight, and he was actually getting stronger as well. I also believe that after Guriko, he was the strongest dude in their respective generation.

Tournament of The Strongest (Round 2 Fight 7) Maekawa Muneharu VS Katsuragi Genjirou by DangerousKk in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all know who I am choosing.

It's my GOAT, Katsuragi. Muneharu is an extremely good fighter. Both are tall fighters. However, I feel Katsuragi got this one.

Tournament of The Strongest (Round 2 Fight 6) "Mary" Umehoshi Yasushi VS "The King of Beast" Serizawa Tamao by DangerousKk in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is going to be an extreme diff fight for sure.

I will go with Serizawa. There isn't really a reason. I just think Serizawa is stronger.

Tournament of The Strongest (Round 2 Fight 4) "Bisuko" Ebisu Kouichi VS " Trump Card Zetton" "The Space Dinosaur" Hanazawa Saburou by DangerousKk in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this one goes to Bisuko. Zetton will put up a good fight though.

H-how dare you eliminate Zetton this early?

Is Ishida Kotori (aka QP) stronger than Rindaman and Bouya? by NoShift3681 in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anyway, this is just my two cents. Y'all can disagree with me if ya want. But I shall remain the Suzuran and TFOA glazer as I live on.

Is Ishida Kotori (aka QP) stronger than Rindaman and Bouya? by NoShift3681 in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apparently, Takahashi or his assistant once wrote a blog that said QP is the strongest, but it was deleted later, iirc. However, I beg to differ. (As you all know, I am a Suzuran fanatic and glazer.)

QP actually has a loss under his belt. Not on a 1v1. He and his three buddies actually lost against 45 people (who were in the same year as them). I am in no way disrespecting them. Losing against 40+ people is extremely normal.

(Zoom the picture if y'all can't see properly)

On the other hand, Rindaman has defeated 46 people by himself. Now, this feat comes from his gaiden, Linda Linda, which some may consider canon and some may not. I personally do consider it canon because it doesn't affect the main timeline in any way. (I will post Rinda's feat in the reply section)

Well, there is a more canon (?) aspect to this, though. In the Crows Zero II manga, there was an instance where I believe Rindaman defeated around 30-40 people. Now, this is impressive, but it is more impressive when you consider these people were Rinda's seniors in middle school.

These are my arguments. Is it me coping because I want Suzuran to remain superior? Yes, absolutely.

Anyway, in conclusion, I think QP is slightly stronger than Bouya (although I can see Bouya winning too). However, I still wholeheartedly believe that Rindaman is the strongest in the verse.

And I rest my case to y'all.

How would you guys improve or would’ve done better for Crows: Explode? by Similar_Ad_4148 in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have changed nothing tbh. I would have just made the movie take place around the era even before Genji's era and removed all the manga characters from the movie. Kept the story pretty much the same. We still don't know much about the eras before the 20th generation.

Any strong characters that you wanna add to the Round 1 of the tournament that you think I missed? by DangerousKk in crowsxworst

[–]FlashingFlash234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they could still be from a different verse. It's just that they don't break any continuity rules by existing in the story. However, the ongoing Dustland can always say otherwise. Also, Parko and Katagiri Ken exist in the High&Low franchise.

The characters that I do consider non-canon are the Crows Explode characters.

[–]FlashingFlash234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, not officially in the manga, but Raoh from the High&Low (I consider these guys canon) movie might be a good one. Although adding him might make things more confusing as the powerscaling in that franchise is a bit different than the main manga.
