#amahare

In the original flow of the webcomic, BS beats him up, he loses his sword, gets talked down to by a teenager and his students also get beat up and that's about it.

In Ch. 69 of the manga we got introduced to the Council of Swordsmasters, a group that’s shown to be pretty close with AS.

Not only has AS had to put down his fellow swordsmaster in the first chapter they were introduced (Haragiri), but now he’s had to see the last three be killed in horrible ways. Two of his best disciples are knocked unconscious, and the last one is going to have a foot smooshed on his face. Can you imagine the guilt he’s going to feel when this is all over? Mind you it’s implied that it took a bit of convincing from his students to let them fight on their own.

I am of course a little sad that Zanbai died, and in such a brutal fashion too!!! ;^;. He was honestly my favorite of the group, I was looking forward to seeing more of him and his Buddhist monk aesthetic. But I guess SOMEONE needed to die to show just how deadly FU has become. Dude really showed up to help his buddy out and then paid the ultimate price :(((

I hope Amahare and Nichirin survive, what kind of council only has one member?? OR maybe they don't and that becomes one of the biggest factors as to why AS goes to challenge King in such a pushy manner HMMMMMM
