To keep it short, Raian is the result of people being bred for combat over countless centuries. In terms of physical specs, potential, and talent, he is the pinnacle of the Kure clan. His whole schtick is that he loves to win fights with raw force alone: he can't stand the idea that there is anyone he can't overwhelm. When he said it'd be over too quickly if he used a Kure technique, he meant that shit. In Omega, Raian fights a dude who is larger and stronger than him, and he also knows the removal. He literally rips him in half from the jaw down.

"He's not even purple yet" gotdam dude ya got me

Love how some of Ohma's fights are highly technical while still brawling in a phone booth style fighting right in the pocket.

I think the biggest thing you missed at 6:27 is that he didn't hit him in the face, he punched him in the throat which would break the cartilage of the trachea that supports it and collapse the air way so you can't breath and then that huge hammer of a punch.

Do you read the manga as well? The fights get more intense in the chapters, moreso the fights after the anime. Adn there's also a part 2 called Kengan Omega.

@5:06 You right, he's telling Kazuo to shut up lol! What I love about Kengan in particular is that even the more fantastical elements are still based in reality and dealt with consistently throughout the series. Ohma's Advance and Raian's Removal are both ridiculous, but both have understandable and realistic consequences in the show (heart failure, muscle damage and extreme fatigue). Agito outclasses everyone as far as adaptability and overall conditioning goes, but clever and experienced opponents like Okubo (and later Kuroki Gensai in the manga) can still get one over on him through mix-ups, higher fight-IQ, or by just being tough-as-nails. Even something like the Niko Style is essentially just the idea of MMA being able to be taught as a single self-contained fighting system based on principles without losing any of the quality, vs. needing a team of 2-4 coaches specializing in each of the different elements. Ohma's fights are my favourite to watch and I cannot express enough how much I love hearing the input of someone who has professional fighting experience find joy in the same place I do. P.S.: Fun fact, did you know the Kure clan are actually modeled after the Gracies? Every member is basically a reference to someone in that family, via their name, physical design, or personality. Old man Erioh Kure is named and designed after Helio Gracie, Karla (though the anime pronounces it 'Karura') is based on Kyra, The Kure guy with the shaggy hair is named Hollis (I think you can figure that one out), and Raian is based, naturally, on the late 'bad boy' of the family, Ryan Gracie. The more you know!

“That’s a strong referee” lol

I love this show because of it's realistic display of martial arts.

Kengen ashura is by far one of the only animes I actually enjoy watching and reading

i forgot raian threw an 85kg man with his neck lmao ive always seen this match as a big nasty slug fest so i was really surprised to chose it. thanks for giving it some depth this was really enjoyable to watch

Oh god the pause at 4:32 looks cursed I love me a good slug fest, there's just something raw about it that's beautiful.

POV: you're a side character in baki or in Kengan Ashura

Netflix need to stop messing about and give us season 3

I just finished watching season 2 yesterday (hope there will be a 3). Excellent series

that transformation by Ohma is a double edged sword he would die due to his heart pumping more than normal

he was using his movement against him so the impact to the face was even greater

First stoked to be here I'm a third degree black belt in shotokan karate and I love your reactions

0:55 man turned level 1 psycho saiyan X'D

"Grabs him by the hair, that's a bit dirty" but says nothing about the nut kick lollll

The anime makes them look alot weaker but more grounded at the same time, while the manga makes them look more powerful and skilled though less realistic. Like the manga version of this fight looks completely different even though it's about a one for one adaption

Omg this is amazing this is my favourite show ❤️

The Most Brutal Anime New Era

Pls more more kengan ashura plzzzzzzz

A variation of the punch catch that I saw in unordinary is this: Catch the punch with your non dominant hand, then punch the elbow breaking it

i like your breakdown videos best bc you are an anime fan. Fun stuff

This fight reminds me of the iconic Forrest Griffin vs Stephen Bonner at the end of the ultimate fighter, no defense, just a crazy brawl on whoever survives at the end

You should check out Jackie Chans First Strike. Nathan Jones has an appearance in it. Also, a good Capoeira movie, Only the Strong.

Urusai means noisy but Japanese people use it to say hey ur noisy sometimes. Uruse is basically a ruder version which in English would be like saying shut up

People sleep on yhis since its a gi netflix anime but yall are SERIOUSLY missing out on an amazing fighting anime

You usually respond to technical fighting with a personal understanding of what makes a fight in a film something great. I feel there are only so many technically good fight scenes out there. As a suggestion, your expertise would also be fantastic on crappy movie fights. What makes a fight a good fight? In your case, you're able to say makes a good movie fight or not in the from of a genuine art or real moves used in combat. But, that might also make you an expert on what makes a horrible fight sequence. I suggest you also watch the worst fights scenes in film and tell us exactly why it's a bad fight sequence vs a good one. I feel there's a lot more bad than good and you might be the one to enlighten us to both. Here is Jean Claude Van Damme in the movie Hard Target. Is this a good or a bad action sequence.... and especially, why? I like this action sequence but more like a guilty pleasure and I need an expert to tell me the difference between good action and a fun scene....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oalkZ9ed18Wvo4k.html&ab_channel=Movieclips

Now that you point it pit that ref must be super strong

Max, yes you are right. Urusai means “shut up” in Japanese. When it comes to fighting anime, this has been one of the best as far as many say, and when you can, go check out Baki

The advance technique was created by the other niko to deal with the kure families removal

The fight of season 2.

Hanafusa vs bando fight plzzzz. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work

The more interesting this is that his opponents sister wants to make babies 😳 🤔 😍

i think the only fight from fist of legend that's missing on your channel is the final fight against general fujita. the 17min version on yt shows some pretty cool extra stuff with the general.

Dis is superhuman lvl stuff

Only in kengan ashura or Baki can you bicep curl or throw a fellow 185lb man with your throat

You should check out the Quantom of Solace hotel fight scene.

Still can’t get over the fact that Raian legit knows techniques, but chooses not to use em just to prolong fights

jun sekibayashi vs kiozan 🔥

From an mma fight to who gets brain damage first fight

I’m still waiting for season 3 to drop

Almost forgot how much fun manga is to watch! :) Also I´m not sure if "berserk" would be effective to repel attacker - maybe the adrenaline could help to numb the pain from incoming hits and that would be enough to prove it doesn´t have the effect. Uhm, talking about fist/legs hits, not any blunt or sharp weapon.

Great reaction! I'd suggest you to check out Scott Adkins vs Donnie Yen final fight scene from IP MAN 4!

The Niko style should exist, it is complete above and on the ground. :(

usually comments about how real the fight is. this one. thats just a crazy brawl.....

That wasnt a clothesline, that was an elbow to the face

epic

Kengan Ashura is underrated.

Im glad you noted how in anime grapples never work. like he has full body leverage on his arm while having him pinned to the ground and yet he just bicep curls out of it. I guess in an anime a submission isn't interesting, but then they gotta stop showing people caught in them and just getting out with bull shit means (the worst offender is still kenichi strongest discple where the hero gets out of a full body one by breathing)

Arusai means noisy but also can be used as "Shut up!"

Found your channel and subscribed! Great content! You should react to God of High school Jin Mori vs. Han Daewi

It's funny how in kengan omega you get to see rian actually using kure techniques later on and his level of power is far exceeding him what was displayed in ashura. He only fought that way in ashura to just have fun if he wanted to use Kure technique ohma at the time might've not stood a chance at all

You should react to Hajime No Ippo

''Grabbing him by the hair is a bit dirty buddy'' The guy was kicked in the balls tho? xD

It kinda bothers me seeing the AI-mangled 60 fps footage being used here. Good thing Kengan Ashura used a lot of 3d animation, so it looks somewhat passable, (compared to how 2d animation gets butchered by interpolation) but it still fucks with the timing and impact in a lot of shots.

Check out this one. Debt collectors , alley fight, French vs sue

React to (Batman Vs. Shredder) I want to hear your take on some of the realistic moves

You must check the manga meguru the all rounder

Thought about reacting to the manga

Kick the balls: Ok Grab the hair: That's dirty

Review for season 3 please

"Grabbing the hair is a bit dirty" nothing about the groin kick though?

I assume why the skin turns purple is because of both Oxygenated blood and unoxygenated, so it comes out due to the sudden rush

Bro I can't wait for them to animate kengan omega, where we get to see more of Raian. SPOILERS!! Raian literally rips a guy in half, with his bare hands.

How about some Baki fights?

The thumbnail looks like Eren vs Reiner

react to "hajame no ippo " please

Udusei or ususeih sounds like sut up, or be quiet(ps I'm not japanese I am prolly wtong)

kinda like goku kaio ken when he turn red

Is it me or is Ohma's Advance similar to Luffy's 2nd Gear?

Kengan Ashura: literally every side characters are just delusional punching bags

Thank god he is telling kaz to shut up,they made him really annoying in the anime.

What's the name of this cartoon

I suggest read the manga if you want the true kengan experience, the anime is decent (mostly thank to the fight) but honestly it doesn’t hold a candle compare to the manga and it’s also skipped an ass load of things, even important character for some reason

React to baki fights

Watch the Netflix anime series "Baki". Purely amazing show and intense, action driven fight scenes... If you enjoyed this you owe I to yourself to watch that. Thank me later😉

They skip a lot of material... "What are martial arts for?"

2:34 not even a martial arts just punching punch by punch

The kick to the nuts was disrespectful just playing a game the main character start

He looks like a white cp3 😂😂😂

1:27 I will never forget the goalang surprise expression til the next year What a shame this manga wasn't enough famous to get a good 2d animation

This was a show I really wanted to watch but I find the animation revolting.

mc ? i dunno what ya talking about

1:26 I hate how this adaptation makes all the characters look like absolute clowns

⛹‍♂🚴‍♀8 👁🚴‍♀ 🕸 simple concept basic logic if life is not free why the hell would death be any cheaper it's not. So the question one may wonder is the spiritual cost to one's own soul and spirit for having lived and died to the lowest standards of quality for so many years now global pollution has diminished the quality of life to the point where today's people are living, dying and yielding the worst spiritual kickback that has ever been manifested since the beginning of life only getting worse. The polar opposite extreme to that is today's people should be living and dying to the highest standards of quality which would make each and every moment physically, mentally, financially and spiritually beneficial. S.R.F.

Someone likely already answered this but yeah the “shut up” explanation: うるさい-> Urusai->(pronounced like) oo-rue-sigh-> loud/noisy/annoying in this case said as “うるせ”->uruse-> oo-rue-seh which is basically like a more short and harsh way of saying that it is loud and therefore annoying. So basically when subtitles are saying shut up the person is basically just shouting that that are loud. There is a way I think of saying just like shut up or more directly “be silent” and that would be a version of だまる->damaru-> the verb for “to be silent” now lets make it short and snappy. dah-ma-ru. だまれ-damare- dah-mah ray now you’ve got a short snappy rude way of telling someone to be silent. Both the one used by ohma and the other one listed here work but I think the first one is more a statement that something is annoying and the other that you want them to be quiet as like an action I’ll answer any questions and take any critiques as I am not an expert, just a student
