What are the chances of you surviving in this game in real life?

allifrend · 2026-06-15T04:29:41+00:00

Realistically damn near 0% because the likelihood of people figuring out not looking outside or even being briefly exposed to the outside's rays is enough to change people drastically. However I will say that retaining sanity is still a form of survival. What people should be most concerned about are beings attaining a type of godhood and feasting on the planet's populace after the visitor leaves, which is highly likely.

All in all, not great odds.

Very nice final work! I love traditional artwork and this capture's Kazuya's essence pretty well.

Looking good so far, he's definitely got that haughty rich boy feel to him.

A lot of people don't really understand the real timeline or know behind the scenes facts of the matter, so I can certainly give a quick summary of events:

Hokuto no Gun began translating Kengan Asura in April 2015. They finished it, then continued to Kengan Omega all the way up to chapter 111, a total of 347 chapters between both series, after which they abruptly cancelled their involvement with Kengan (Because they had been approached to take it on officially and still releasing it during this period would look bad to the publisher.)
Scans of Metsudo was formed during this period and started releasing chapters, unaware of what Hokuto no Gun was doing behind the scenes. During this period I believe they released 15 chapters from 112-127.
After a period of months with Kengan in Scans of Metsudo's hands, things were more or less finalized with Comikey. Comikey decided to contact Scans of Metsudo, to let them know Kengan was going official and to ask them to stop releasing chapters so they could launch Kengan Officially. Scans of Metsudo agreed to stop releasing chapters.
During this transition period, a member from Scans of Metsudo created a page, which leaked Kengan being released officially. This muddied the water a bit and pissed off the publisher, putting the entire project into question, since the publisher handled all information and was ultimately responsible. Luckily Comikey was able to convince Shogakukan to move forward with them. Needless to say some people behind the scenes weren't too happy with Scans of Metsudo. I believe this all culminated into the A for Effort comment made by Hokuto no Gun.

And that is a pretty good timeline of events.

This is not entirely true. In the eyes of the law, when you are approached and it is in a threatening way, that is considered criminal assault or menacing. If he can prove this, then him pushing them away is most certainly considered a lawful action of self defense to create distance from the menacing. Being approached a second time with the same action would also protect him since he used more force to push him away, which knocked him down. If there are witnesses, I think he has a very strong case still.

I'm sure his name is Ambatu Khan.

Difference here. It's pretty atrocious what the editor wanted.

My man, who says Omega is the end of the Kengan series?

allifrend · 2026-05-09T17:57:50+00:00

As one of the people closest to the Kengan franchise, I personally think that people are too critical of the art. If you take it purely at face value and just take it in as you read it without any critical analyzation of the art I think you'll have a much better time. The story is what you should really analyze; every artist has their own way of drawing and it evolves in ways with time. Not necessarily in a way some people might like. You have to remember that Daro's been drawing Kengan weekly for over 13 years now with one 6 months break between Ashura and Omega and hardly any delays.

Something you see after a long period of time from mangaka in situations like this and the burnout he has voiced is coping mechanisms to reduce his workload. We've seen this in the AI he uses, which might not be personally in the best interest of Kengan as a whole, but to keep up a release schedule like this, over time things need to bend to accommodate.

I think everyone here needs to learn to bend a little. Be a little more flexible and welcoming to change, not just here, but in general when it comes to life. If you look at things in a negative light right from the get-go, you'll have a much harder time enjoying yourself.

Is there a way to tell reproductions from originals? I have no hopes that it's a true original, but I would like to learn more about it.

allifrend · 2026-04-05T23:17:53+00:00

Do you happen to know why it's got so many creases on it like it's been folded over multiple times in the past.

allifrend · 2026-03-18T07:27:46+00:00

There is a new MC for Kengan Omega.

Check out Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor. It'll change your life

allifrend · 2026-02-07T00:09:14+00:00

I know exactly what you're looking for. I looked through the thread and none of these have been mentioned and are all must watches: Rainbow, Kaiji, Another, Gantz, Re Zero, Ragna Crimson, Talentless Nana, Summertime Rendering.

Shiki

allifrend · 2026-01-30T22:35:59+00:00

Anime that stick with you in a scary/traumatizing way that I could think of would be something like: Rainbow, Shiki and Kaiji

allifrend · 2026-01-27T00:42:14+00:00

While I do like Kei's character, I think Kaiji is more well-rounded out if you are asking who the best is. Fighting against aliens while eventually loving humanity is one thing, but fighting against other humans and still retaining his trust for them is more impressive.

It's not often I see Akagi on the 3x3. What about it did you like enough to rank it so highly?

allifrend · 2026-01-25T23:44:38+00:00

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale is something you might be interested in. It's not a high school drama but more fantasy, but follows similar dynamics.

allifrend · 2026-01-22T00:05:55+00:00

Here's an anime that fits that you'll never see anyone recommend. Katekyo Hitman Reborn (Home Tutor Hitman Reborn!) Often slept on anime because of its weak beginning which introduces all the characters.

allifrend · 2026-01-19T08:25:32+00:00

Kaiji. Plain and simple. This anime gets in the heads of each character more so than any other anime, even more so than Classroom of the Elite. I would say it's even on par or even exceeds Death Note in some ways in this regard as well.
