Kengan Omega Chapter 98: Release Date, Delay, Discussion

Chapter 97 revealed the result of the seventh match of the tournament. Despite all the opposition, Raian got disqualified for killing Alan and breaking the no-kill rule of Purgatory.

The chapter also disclosed the fighters for the next round. Purgatory has chosen Arashiyama Jurota, who will be facing Hayami Masaki, the affiliated fighter from Toyo Electric Power Co.

Can Hayami somehow compensate for Raian’s recklessness? We bring you the latest chapter updates for this manga.

1. Chapter 98 Discussions & Predictions            

Chapter 98 will take us to the eighth round of the tournament between Arashiyama Jurota and Hayami Masaki. We still don’t know much about Hayami’s strengths and weaknesses, but I hope that the next chapter will give us a rough idea about it.

He is a competent fighter and judoka who can knock down someone as strong as Utsubuki Kokuro without a wound on him. Kokuro himself estimated that Hayami might be even stronger than Gaoh Ryuki.

On the other hand, Arashiyama Jurota is one of the two Kings of Purgatory. He is thought to be on par with Lolong Donaire, the champion of Purgatory’s Ultimate Gladiator Playoffs.

Now, it seems we are going to see a Judo fight between the two skilled Judokas. Both of them look calm and composed, and I don’t think they will lose their composure anytime soon in the fight. After so many battles of brute force, we will see a contest of endurance.

5. Recap of Chapter 97 

There is indecisiveness among the assistant referees regarding the outcome of the seventh round. Alan was carrying a knife in the fight, which is clearly against the rules. But on the other hand, Raian killed Alan before he got the opportunity to use the knife.

Shiina Alisa finally decides to disqualify Raian, and she says that she would have done the same for Alan if he had used the knife. Okubo and others from Kengan Association aren’t satisfied with this decision.

Next is the Purgatory’s turn to choose their fighter first, and they send Arishiyam Jurota to the ring for the next round. He is one of the two Kings of Purgatory, and his strength is considered to be on par with that of Lolong.

Meanwhile, team Kengan is yet to choose their fighter. Okubo says that he should go, but his appeal was immediately turned down by others. Wakatsuki Takeshi also reveals his wish to fight Arashiyama, thus leading to a heated environment among the Kengan Association.

Hayami intervenes in the argument and manages to lighten up the mood quickly. He suggests that he should fight next since he is a Judoka, just like Arashiyama.

Ohma is impressed with Hayami’s leadership qualities and believes that there’s something special about him. Hayami doesn’t have a glorious career as a judoka like Arashiyama, but despite all the odds, he looks confident.

When both the fighters arrive at the ring, Arashiyama asks Hayami if he is related to Meguro Masaki. He further says that he has been searching for him and the chapter ends.
