What I'd like to see is a darker reveal that Ryo guys will slaughter the shit out of people if it clearly shows that it saves lives (an "against the wall" move).
Basically, I want to see Shigure pull a shocker and go berserk with a slaughter. Show us what it is like for Master classes to fight against a top level Grand Master.
COME ON! DOOO EEET!
that is of course, assuming that the Hachiou Executioner Blade members there are simply master class and not grand master class. though given how worried Shigure is over that Michael guy as well as the fact that that bow woman took down freakin' helicopters with, well, a bow and arrow, I doubt they're just run of the mill master class fighters.

What you see as an implied, I see as just regular masters.
The bow lady? Doesn't even come close to Sakaki punching a giant boulder, a boulder that would have a mass much greater than the helicopter, into tine pieces with a single punch. That's the bare-handed power of a true Grand Master. I'd expect the ability of an arrow to destroy the engine of a helicopter to be within an expert class. 😐
So what makes you think they should be Grand Masters...because you have no feats except the one.
Also, the guy "killing" everyone? That's simple stuff that I would assume a decent expert class could pull off. 🙂 Heck, even Kenichi can make precise strikes, at this point. He's scratching the surface of 'expert'.
perhaps or perhaps not. regardless, that the bow master was able to put such strength into pulling back the arrow for it to even pierce through the helicopter (even if it most likely is a very durable arrow) is a testament to her strength in addition to her accuracy since the ship she was on was moving in addition to the helicopter being pretty damn high and moving too. and remember, Shigure was worried about that Michael guy. crazed or not, she wouldn't be worried unless it's for a good reason. and that Ryozanpaku in general is worried about the Hachiou group also says a lot.

Sakaki likens them to Yami himself.

Of course these guys have no feats. They've literally just been introduced. But everything is implying that they're stronger than all the weapon master class opponents seen so far.
I'm just hoping the Shigure can have an actual fight instead of another..."topless jousting match". C'mon sythe dude you can do it!
In other news we get a female with muscle definition as dante pointed out. I mean you could count anime Freya too but...nah! Which I find to be cool because prior to the weapon masters being introduced, the only on screen female masters we've seen are Shigure and Master Boobies.
only time will tell. only time will tell. hopefully not since this guy is clearly off his rocker in a lot of ways.
yep. though in Freya's case, I noticed that after a time, she stopped being drawn with muscle definition, which is why this bow master is all the more surprising in that respect in addition to actually being a master class.
well, the caption for the chapter confirms that they are indeed master class, so that small issue can be put to rest now. that said, this Michael so far has yet to do anything aside from withstand a few slashes and even then that was do to his special vest or whatever it is.
and once again regarding the bow master; looks like she may be one of the more unique female martial artists in the series, not only for her training actually showing itself via her muscle definition, but also for having two damn pupils or whatever within her irises. and now she's gonna fight Shigure..... this should hopefully be good.....
I still have faith in sythe dude(Michael)but at least that guy that kept up with Hayato is there should he fall. Also I find it weird that Shigure still attacks all the masters even though only one of them is targeting Kenichi and Miu. But I guess it was her way of covering all areas.
All I hope for is for the Bow girl to have and actual fight with Shigure and not just a strip-fest.
I'm sure he was just caught off guard is all. after all, Shigure pretty much went all out right from the get-go just to distract them. and even with that vest, a sword swing is gonna hurt. for him to shrug it off so casually could hint at his real capabilities. and Raigou (the guy who managed to keep up with Hayato) is there, as you pointed out wakkawakkawakka, so even if Shigure had an easy time with the others, he'd be a difficult one.
hope so too. but at least from the looks of it, this bow master is taking things seriously. and it's not as if she has much clothing to lose anyway....
This mother****in' shit makes Shigure badass:

Also, a troy ounce is worth $1332.5. A gold bar/ingot is 400 troy ounces.
The translators got the translation incorrect: it is tonnes, not tons.
Or maybe they got the translation correct as some countries spell "tonnes" as tons and it still means 1000 kilograms.
So doing some conversions:
2,000 tonnes = 2,000,000 grams
1 gram = 0.0321507466 troy ounces
2,000,000*0.0321507466 = 64301.4932 troy ounces.
64301.5 troy ounces * 1,332.50 (the value of a troy ounce) =
$85,681,739.7
That's not very much. There are much more valuable precious metals in other countries.
Gold is also not the only commodity traded on the stock market. Oil, natural gas, corn, wheat, etc. In fact, there are some items on there that are functionally more valuable AND they are renewable.

Basically, what Matsuena (the author) is saying is he has no clue how the stock market or even monetary power works in the real world.

Also, the pair that just showed up, maybe you can explain this as you're more knowledgable with HSDK stuff, but how is that a past partner of Sakaki's?
I only remember that one dude that had cancer and died. Other than that, his other old partner is back at the prime minister's office.
Am I forgetting one of his old partners or something?
