The art was detailed, the action was great, I was listening to the Ost's and they were memorable. I've seen a couple of Naruto scans and wow! the art is crap compare to this series. Bat survives, with almost everyone perishing that made a little balance. The only problem that I had was Kenshiro killing random bad guys, it was good at the beginning but it got old, though I give credit that he didn't show mercy.

I absolutely loved these last few chapters. The manga lost steam after Raoh died, but it managed to regain it somewhat after the first part of the Ryu and Ken arc.

Truly, this is a great manga. 10/10 (Would be lower, but the greatness of the first half makes up for the Land of Asura arc.

The series had several problems and inconsistencys, to the point that i had to read it fast just to not think about the bad stuff. The major highlight about the series I would say were the various way of killing ppl.But anyways, I think there were some arcs worth reading and it gets a mini pass just because its old, so 6/10 for me.

Eh, there was just some arcs in this that I didn't love and had to force myself through it and especially this unnecessary last arc with love triangles and stupid villains, not a fan.

Still gets a solid 7/10 from me.

Just finished re-reading it.
Still an amazing manga, the most epic I know, full of manly tears.

I only wish it has less inconsistency and also not a fan of the Ken And Lin thing, I mean Ken should have seen her as his little sister or something... for even Yuria to suggest this since she only saw Lin as a little kid...

Just finished whole manga today... Its legendary

All till The Roah Arc, was the best. It kind of lost steam for few chapters then it was back again with a bang.

And as per me, one of the most powerful characters in world of manga

"You wont feel anything, Ofcourse... You are already dead"

Also, each and every character was made for a purpose with a meaning... Its epic manga

Great manga turned almost into a train wreck.

Till the fight against Raoh I definitely loved it and cared about the characters,but from the first time skip on, one can't deny the declining quality. But it was still entertaining and I didn't mind.

But the last few chapters felt extremely random and didn't add anything for,quite opposite,they almost felt like a chore to sit through.

On a positive note,the last panel had definitely charm.

Very good manga, after the time skip I kinda lost interest in the story but it managed to snatch my interest back. What I didnt like about the last few chapters was Borg, I don't get why did Buronson introduce an uninteresting new enemy in the final chapters.

what a load of shit this ending was. dude gets an emotional death scene that almost had me in tears but then the mangaka chickens out last second to revive him. nothing is more pathetic than a fake out death especially at the end of a story

There were plenty of real deaths in the story of main Characters. It was surprising to have one fake out death, even more surprising than a real death of a main cast member. I think that Lin going back to tend Barts grave (And discovering he is really alive) will put Barts mind at ease about her true feelings for him. It's a happy ending.

I really like the last frame. He hasn't said "You are already dead" for many chapters. But they bring back the catchphrase. It's a fitting conclusion. The last chapter is my favorite in the manga. Definitely not a load of shit.
oh it sure was surprising and that's the worst part about it. if I had anticipated this it wouldn't be a problem, but the death scene itself was so believable and the retcon was so stupid that my brain still hasn't really accepted that he survived. I think back at it and how emotional it was for me and then have to remind myself "oh wait they pussied out, great". fake out deaths are almost always bad unless there were hints hidden to lead up to it, but this is just trying to get an emotional reaction without having the guts to pull through til the end. I don't mind the last couple pages

The manliest manga ever!!; inspiring Sakigake!! Otokojuku & JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. With the success of Jojo, I think it's time for a new anime adaption of the manga.

One of the greats, along with Dragon Ball the cornerstone of battle shonen. Part 1 was excellent, Part 2 was a mess but still mostly a fun read except for a few actually really bad segments, with a lot of good ideas lost in there. Kaioh sucked! lol
I liked the kingdom of Sava and wish that was connected to the Shura continent, I feel like those two stories could have really complimented each other.
I'm glad Bat lived in the end, Kenshiro had never been able so save a single one of his friends from death, Rei, Shuu, Fudou, Ein, Falco, Shachi... they all died and the strongest man couldn't do anything for them. At last, Ken's little brother, more like son if you ask me lol, gets to live a happy life with the person he loves. I'm glad Lin and Ken didn't end up together that would have been super weird.

Overall: 8/10, legendary but flawed in some regards.
