Historys Strongest Disciple Kenichi 508: Takeda Releasing Sei Ki

Recap and Comments of Chapter 508: The Mastermind Appears

 Lugh's master, Kensei appears. He's making a mention how touching it is to see young lives fighting each other to decide who is superior. He wants Lugh and Takeda continue their death fight.
This is a bit interesting, I never imagined that a fight "unimportant" as this could turn out to be a death fight, but there is a possibility for it to end without either of them dying

Kensei then talks about the shifts the impact point of ki which Takeda uses and that reminds him of Kushinada's Jujutsu. Kushinada mostly used her ki or making clones of herself.

Kensei is rambling a little bit here, Takeda senses that he doesn't let off an evil aura since he must love martial arts just so much.

The battle between Lugh and Takeda continues, Lugh uses left leg subluxation against him, Takeda realizes he's in a pinch since he has lost lots of blood so he has to finish this fast.

Takeda manages to hit Lugh with a warp punch (temp) straight in to his face, but then his hand gets squeezed in between Lugh's head and shoulder.

Takeda counters with an uppercut and it hits very well. Takeda managed to get out of a bad situation.

Takeda doesn't realize that his left arm had been broken until Kensei notifies him of it.
Wow, at which point did he manage to actually break Takedas wrist? Now Lugh has a serious advantage to his favor.  I think I predicted Lugh breaking one of his arms a chapter or a couple ago.

 So Lugh was all the time aiming for his left arm. He speaks about hwo his left arm symbolizes a boxer's existence and in the end his own life.

Takeda is nothing sort of enraged and then he releases ki on his own.
Takeda releasing ki is a great view, I have to admit. The theme for all the fights that are happening at this theme park seems to be so far "ki" and the usage of it in a fight.

Lugh is a bit scared of his Sei ki. Kensei says to him that if he doesn't finish him he may actually lose, but Lugh intends to finish him with his next move, no matter if he dies himself as well.

In the next Historys Strongest Disciple Kenichi 509 it's time for grand conclusion of Takeda versus Lugh, does one of them actually die?

This chapter was a surprisingly good one. Seeing Keinsei once for a while is always cool, but makes me wonder does he actually play any important part of the story at this point coming here? He just mainly spoke some unrelevant stuff and gave us some infomational value, but maybe his only reason to come was to just watch a fight of his disciple.

As for prediction for the next chapter I think it's possible for one of them to die - both are honestly very unimportant characters which in my opinion increases the chances for the mangaka to sacrifice one of them for a good story twist. I'd say chances are that there's two options, either one of them dies or they somehow get interrupted just as they are going for the deadly blow. Anyway, next chapter will most likely be a good one.
