and given he has yet to fully go all out too, then maybe some time in the near future, we'll see Berserker live up to his name.
yeah, same here. I bet Rimi's death does affect him, but naturally Miu comes first. and his rage at Miu getting hurt is clearly backfiring on him given how badly he got his ass handed to him.
probably because of that Seidou Gou move. He was doing the same hand movements he did when he used it in his fight against Kenichi. maybe it undid his paraplegic state?

Lol Kenichi. Doesn't care that a young girl just died and her master was overly callous about it. He's just pissed that he laid a finger on Miu. Our hero everybody.Berserker really is getting the shaft. That does annoy me a lot.
Not sure how to feel about the ending though.
Well, you know, Rimi was trying to kill the love of his life just moments before. How many tears would you shed?
Why? He went up against Kenichi (not a good decision), and really didn't show much save for using a little dou ability. I expected Kenichi to pwn him honestly. Out of Ogata's disciples, I thought that Lugh was the most impressive.
you have a point there. still, Kenichi is usually a caring guy so maybe he'll feel bad for Rimi later.
well it's not like Berserker was going all out either while Kenichi appeared to be more on the defensive for the portion of the fight we did see. hell, not even Kenichi's ryuusei sekuken worked against him, so who knows how strong Berserker really is.

It's sad that Berserk still has more screentime than Siegfried considering that his fight was another anticipated one. Instead I had to suffer through the ending of the Lugh and Takeda fight.
Berserker was giving Kenichi trouble and he didn't go into his berserker mode yet: or did he realize that it wasn't viable against more skilled opponents?
And Rimi should stay dead if her only other alternative is to join the "girls who can't take a hint" club.

I'm sure he will. Looking back a few chapters, Kenichi actually did voice concern about Rimi using the two paths or whatever, and he even tried to get Ogata to stop. He tried to get her to stop even before Ryuuto did.
He was on the defensive because he wasn't interested in fighting Berserker. He was distracted by Miu and Rimi. There were several cheap shots and close blocks solely because Kenichi was distracted.

That logic makes Kenichi look selfish lol.
His character was built up. When you build up a character there should be pay off, regardless of whether they win or not. But the fact that you didn't even expect him to challenge Kenichi speaks volumes about how invincible he's been lately. The last opponent to genuinely do anything to Kenichi was Koukin and that was too long ago to really matter.

You must have missed the post a few spots down where I stated Kenichi's concern for Rimi when she was just beginning the dou/sei tech. He even voiced his concern before Ryuuto.
His character was built up a while ago. A sudden reappearance isn't what I would call a build up.
Not really invincible, but leaps and bound better yes. He still had a tough fight against the Muay thai Kid and got pwned by Miu, so I wouldn't say he is wrecking shop. I just gathered that Beserker didn't really improve much outside of releasing his dou ability, as to where kenichi has been mastering new moves and such.

I see Kenichi not really trying against Berserker, really. He hasn't tried to fight Berserker seriously, yet.
he did state that he needed to take things seriously or Beserker might kill him. Now that he got pwned by Ogata (as it should be), it should make for a tough fight for Kenichi.

And yet his beef with Ogata isn't "You're a monster who uses your disciples" but rather "You touched Miu you bastard!"
Yes it does lol. That is the whole backbone to the idea of a timeskip for instance.
He got pwned by Miu but considering he was never fighting to hurt Miu like he was with the others it hardly matters. And again the Koukin fight was ages ago.

At the moment yes. I'd be pretty pissed if someone punked my girl too. The guy has empathy, but he's still human. Ryuuto was taking care of the Rimi issue.
I meant in terms of power.
Yes he was, especially when she was influenced by Jenezad. He was really trying to hurt her. Those fights weren't that long ago

Wow. I must be the only guy who found Beserker uninteresting. He has no real style or relevance imo....As far as stoic no-nonsense bad asses go, I would definitely prefer Boris or Ethan over Beserker personally.
Also, Berserker is implied by Lugh to be the strongest of Ogata's disciples. When fighting Takeda the first time, he complimented his skill while noting that his style was a bad match against Lugh's submission techniques, and when noting that he could have done well against Ryuuto, Tanimoto, and "even Berserker", implying that Berserker is particularly powerful. It makes sense. Keep in mind he was a good fight for Tanimoto with zero training. Now, he has had over a year to train, into his own self-made style.
"Didn't improve much", lol.
He could use Seikuken with his elbows, which Kenichi noted was a genius application of the move, condensing the circle so that his counters packed more power to them.

Coming from you this means very little. lol
No he wasn't. Lugh simply implied that Beserker's style would have actually made a better (more exciting) fight against Takeda's boxing. If anything, Lugh was implying that his grappling skills would make him superior to Beserker and the other disciples in regards to fighting Takeda. In fact, Ryuuto states that Kensei said that Lugh would have the greatest potential of being a ki master. If anyone is getting accoladeds, it's Lugh.
He called it a genius move....big deal. Kenichi has countered everything Beserker's been doing save for when he is distracted by the Miu and Rimi fight.
