I 100% agree but I do have hope that we are being led into a false sense of security and after this arc stakes are wildly going to increase and get crazy. My hope is the bad Niko and whatever the third clones name is are about to really upend things. He seems to have a much bigger plan than JUST getting the connectors memories. My biggest hope is the Connector is meant to seal or stand guard against something evil and even more powerful and the 3rd clones name is wakes this sucker up and connector is killed
Of course if he ends up being a let down I might have to drop it after this arc. I think one of the things that’s really dropped the stakes is taking the death matches off the table. I mean if you get rid of the death matches what’s even really the point of it being underground? It’s basically a slightly less restrictive MMA
I read Kengan Asura roughly 4 years ago and it was so breathtakingly good, I finished it in one night. The beginning of Koga’s story was interesting, and including the strange clones being made underground had me on the edge of my seat. But now it’s BORING, Koga as a character doesn’t have the charm Ohma did (understandably as they’re two different people) and not nearly enough high stakes situations. Everyone in the previous story had a reputation, family, life, or income they’d lose and it kept building progressively through the story. All of this in LESS CHAPTERS THAN THIS STORY. I like Koga, but not as a main character anymore, the other fighters are beginning to outshine him.
