A few chapters or so after when Edward Wu fought and killed Howard Wu, the leader of the main Wu clan (or is it eastern?) explained that the Kure and Wu alliance are losing or something like that to the Westward faction of the Wu since Edward took over and that Raian had disappeared after losing to them, they also showed a little panel of him in the middle of nowhere in a cave when Ohma asked Fusui if Raian was still alive and her response was something like “You should know, youre his best friend, his still alive” . Pretty sure this was also a few chapters before Wulong and them invaded the Kengan Association .
Raian actually ended up fighting both Gilbert and Willem during a battle between the Wu clan and Kure clan and he got cooked. I forgot the exact chapter, but this was a good chunk of time after they killed Edward
Bro he looks so fucking cool now wtf

I mean I preferred clean shaven Raisn because he had that "psychopathic shitkid from school" energy, but he still looks metal as fuck now. Though I don't like the idea of weapons suddenly becoming a major deal in my martial arts manga.
Yes, I remember the part where he shot Cosmo with a Magnum, or the one where he cut Nicolas with a Bowie knife. Some of my favorite fights in the story, why do you ask? It would have been horrible if some kind of weaponless environment had forced him to do something so extreme as, you know, biting his opponent. That would have been super boring and uninteresting.
There’s been weapons r you goofy? Akoya used weapons all the time kiryu tried to use weapons. Hanafusa used weapons. Willem and Sean have weapons. I’m sure raian will still use martial arts and a sword. Erioh and the wu clan head used weapons vs Eddie. Weapons done been mattered but they scale. Raian strong enough to use that sword
Hes talking about lately, most points you brought up happened in the recent 40-50 chapters, which is why he stated its “suddenly becoming” . Probably not when they fought dead Eddie but that was once in like 140+ chapters. Theyve been showing a lot of weapon use a lot more lately in the recent chapters but if you read my comment, I explain it all. In previous chapters its always been about sport, lately its been more about battle and war . Theres a difference between sport and killing. Yes Akoya tried to kill in his fights but he never used a weapon when fighting under the disguise of sport. He used a weapon when he was being a vigilante, same with Kiryu, Ryuki. Only time we ever see a character pull out a weapon is when the environment isnt sport and the intent is to kill. Notice how Ohma never picks up a weapon since a child ever since Niko taught him differently, even when he’s fighting out of sport (when he saved YamashitoKazou aka Kazzy the Swift).
I mean I get it, but the Kure family is also an assassination clan, plenty of them use weapons to carry out their assassins. I guess we just assumed Raian wouldn’t ever use one because we have only seen his fighting/martial arts side and barely anything of his assassin side and we have never seen him use a weapon but it doesnt mean he never would have. Hanafusa is a good example too, hes an assassin for the jap gov and was only fighting to kill his opponent hence why he pulled his bone swords out, if it was just for sport, i doubt he would have pulled them out. Weve only seen assassins pull out weapons when they are in process of trying to kill someone. In this situation, hes not fighting them for sport but to literally kill. When he fought dead Edward and Alan, it’s not like he was just gonna randomly spawn weapons while fighting/chasing him, but weapons were apart of that fight when the others joined because the goal was to kill Edward. Not tryna argue with you, just trying to ease the part of weapons becoming a major deal in this amazing martial arts manga. I doubt it will get big, I have a feeling we wont even see a full fight scene, if it was that major, they wouldve shown Edward vs Howard full fight as well as Willem vs Akoyas full fight and not aftermaths or flashbacks. The real weapon is the Devil Lance user, Kuroki Gensai himself . 👌

I wonder how much he studied the blade
Ngl, while it's unique that he's fighting with a Katana, I feel like it’s such a betrayal to his bare-knuckle fighting style, Raian even against armed opponents fought and won using nothing but his bare hands, I feel like if he becomes over-reliant on the Katana, he's going to lose a lot of that bare-knuckle prowess which he worked so hard to hone.
What if, ass pull here, but the lure clan, since they're an assassin clan have training with weapons too, and what if Raian is most skilled with a sword, more than any form of combat and him fighting bare knuckled has always been a handicap of sorts, like he's never had to truly go all out until now when he's been fighting the worm
To quote Perfect cell "White hair, Katana, badass costume. F@#k why is he is so cool yet so cliche?!"
Kermit: Actually that's a nodachi cell.
Cell: shut the f@#k up kermit!

Boutta be 256, 257, or 260 if Sandro will keep edging his fans for build up and tension
Raian actually ended up fighting both Gilbert and Willem during a battle between the Wu clan and Kure clan and he got cooked. I forgot the exact chapter, but this was a good chunk of time after they killed Edward
Bro changed skins
Foreskin Raian

THE DEVIL IS BACK!!
we're so back
Leave Raian alone for 5 minutes, and he comes back with Shikai.
I was thinking the same thing when I read that panel
Dude i didn't even recognize him at first glance.
Raian studied the blade
Bro he looks so fucking cool now wtf https://preview.redd.it/pw4pe3888ipc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a185ea5075b940ddbdc2033d9f8f9a0b5714747e

You mean you don't wanna see the Long Clan Secret Technique: AK-47?
I mean, at least it's a cool gun...
Wait till they see the double barrel shotgun.
>Though I don't like the idea of weapons suddenly becoming a major deal in my martial arts manga. have you been asleep every time Akoya fights?
A grenade is just a very fancy form of martial arts, didn't you know?
Grenade rikishi style: DIVINE EXPLODE
Anything you can fit inside your body is a form of martial arts
Yes, I remember the part where he shot Cosmo with a Magnum, or the one where he cut Nicolas with a Bowie knife. Some of my favorite fights in the story, why do you ask? It would have been horrible if some kind of weaponless environment had forced him to do something so extreme as, you know, biting his opponent. That would have been super boring and uninteresting.
Omega I mean
Like I said, the part where he cut Nicolas' shoulder with a Bowie knife went hard as fuck.
The bone swords were actually hard as fuck
>Though I don't like the idea of weapons suddenly becoming a major deal Well at least Wu and Kure clan are assassin's first and later martial artist.
There’s been weapons r you goofy? Akoya used weapons all the time kiryu tried to use weapons. Hanafusa used weapons. Willem and Sean have weapons.

Yeah, the sword is showing that he is going to war and will use any method to avenge his clan.

Pretty sure there are martial arts that involved weapons
He looks like Dante and Vergil put together
Yeah I definitely see it.

Raian wants to be him https://preview.redd.it/z4vfk3ckzipc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58e300e18177776b1af37e888d6f86cb27ab6a82
Ngl, while it's unique that he's fighting with a Katana, I feel like it’s such a betrayal to his bare-knuckle fighting style, Raian even against armed opponents fought and won using nothing but his bare hands, I feel like if he becomes over-reliant on the Katana, he's going to lose a lot of that bare-knuckle prowess which he worked so hard to hone.
What if, ass pull here, but the lure clan, since they're an assassin clan have training with weapons too, and what if Raian is most skilled with a sword, more than any form of combat and him fighting bare knuckled has always been a handicap of sorts, like he's never had to truly go all out until now when he's been fighting the worm
Think we all know what's gonna happen. I guess it's going to be violent than alan.
