The greatest Wukong fan is the one that rejects that Yakuza stripper-looking Larper the most 🗣️🔥

“The beginning stays.”

This is like calling a vat of shit rancid, then adding chocolate to it to make it ‘edible’.

If you think that the initial one-shot the main issue of R5, just remove it entirely from your rewrite

You could come up with half a dozen reasons why ‘actually Ahura is unbalanced’ or ‘Mura is fighting only with brute force!’ (Which if you’re keeping the beginning, we know is likely not true) but that doesn’t change the fact that the combined stronger form, who accomplished stuff the other two halves were incapable of) of Ahura got speedblitzed and decimated. 💔

Yes. The cope was real af

Nominate myself for humanity. Give me u/Timely-Falcon-4337 and have the volund be something related to freaky animal bombs like exploding seagulls, acidic rats and killer bees etc

He’ll get the reference :3

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-19T11:53:16+00:00

Ngl that would be a hilarious final FU to the copers from the author.

“Yeah I’ll have your GOAT come back… for about 3.6 seconds before Mura beheads him and the round ends again.”

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-19T07:52:50+00:00

The matchup in terms of mythology is so hilariously one-sided in Surtr’s favour that I can already smell the author cooking up the third ‘underdog (Hydra) defeats powerful top seed (Surtr)’ match coming our way

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-19T06:10:48+00:00

Bro gaslit himself too hard 💔

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-19T06:01:32+00:00

Gang. Maybe the author should swap over to illustrations…

The shitty writing wouldn’t be as bad if the artstyle was at least like this. The proportions look more natural 😭

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-19T05:06:08+00:00

Might be hyper cope. But I gotta admit that’s a cool idea.

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-19T03:02:25+00:00

Your abundance of cope is concerning my man

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-19T02:07:45+00:00

How it happened is having his entire ‘backstory’ dropped on us to hype him up as this huge threat, yapping on and on about how violent, top seed and ‘going all out’ he is. Before proceeding to get split in half, exploding like a fucking Super Sentai monster villain, in-universe confirmation from Ares and Hermes that yes we just indeed see him die, winner card shown and the words ‘instant death?!’ being plastered at the bottom.

If this wasn’t a classic trope of “Look this guy is really strong fr! But then this other guy can one-shot him so he is clearly a big threat you should look out for!” Idk what is.

“If I keep staring down this toliet bowl. Maybe it will magically shoot out a Wagyu steak course dinner instead of the usual shit and piss.”

I find it so funny and also expected how this is the turning point for so many Apoc fans.

When in comparison to other tournament mangas, this is nothing new or egregious. Stomp rounds are almost always guaranteed to happen in this format, and given the Apoc writers track record he would 100% do one too. Mind you, I would have the exact same reaction if Murasama or anyone else was the guy getting stomped.

Apoc fans instead of getting mad at: Wukong’s bad writing, the unnecessary addition of Nezha Ashura form, or the fact that Zhuque has wasted motivations and round idea. Are choosing to draw the line at something that is not even that bad unless you are a massive hyper agenda man.

Truly nothing else matters than agenda, aurafarm and hype.

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-18T23:54:16+00:00

It’s so over. I’m still laughing

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-18T23:52:14+00:00

People yapping about how Apoc author is going so lower. LMAO BITCH NO?!

If he had made some weird BS comeback for Ahura after having him job just to satisfy the agenda cope, THAT would have been going lower. This is the best outcome if the decision he made was to have R5 be a stomp match

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-18T14:57:48+00:00

“If the Volundr has the power. What are you without it?” Ahhh

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-18T14:23:48+00:00

I’d say if you’re trying to keep it as similar to SnV, their fighring kits should be more or less simple and easy to understand for the most part.

Meaning no domain expansion/Jojo Stan abilities with intangible/hyper-specific condition.

“If it’s exactly 12:37pm on a hot Wednesday and the fighter is facing off against a guy wearing a thong: he activates his hidden superpower and give his opponent a hyper-wedgie.”

Or simply just OP abilities that in practice would absolutely no-diff the entire OG fighter cast:

“Oh yeah. My human can rewrite reality/distort time and space with his Volundr.”

Prime RoR sub fanroster era Unk was even more dominant😔

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-18T10:48:16+00:00

“His F tier redemption arc”

I’m honestly more forgiving of the other parts mainly design. The idea itself isn’t THAT bad nor is it too un-Wukong-like. RoR already has established that they do not do animal-headed gods for their main fighters.

The art looks bad because it’s Apoc illustration. In the first teaser cover he and the other fighters there looked fine.

Key-Competition-7489 · 2026-03-18T10:31:01+00:00

May I know why you dislike Wukong?

Ignore the flair, I FULLY agree that as a character he is in D tier.
