Spoiler warning: this article discusses the special match in Kengan Omega Chapter 79 and the chapters around it.
Kengan Omega often uses side matches to introduce fighters who quickly become fan favourites. The special match featuring Misasa, the Eighth Fang of Metsudo, against Hikaru Yumigahama was one of those moments. This analysis looks at why the fight mattered and what made Misasa stand out.
Who Is Misasa?
Misasa serves Metsudo, one of the most powerful figures in the Kengan world, as his Eighth Fang. Very little was known about his background or how he earned that position, which made his first serious fight all the more interesting. Even Agito Kanoh, the former Fang of Metsudo, was curious to see what Misasa could really do.
Size vs Skill
Physically, Misasa is at a disadvantage against Yumigahama. Yet the earlier chapter showed that his raw power can match his opponent’s, and a single punch was enough to shake Yumigahama’s confidence. Misasa’s real strengths are speed and offensive skill, which let him make up for the difference in size.
The Five-Minute Rule
This special match came with an unusual condition: the round lasts five minutes, and after that, the advantage held by one side begins to shrink. That rule makes timing crucial. A patient fighter who survives the opening minutes can turn the match around, and many readers expected Misasa to use the rule to his benefit.
Predictions at the Time
- Misasa would reveal more of his fighting style and history.
- The match would hinge on who could manage the clock better.
- Yabako Sandrovich might give the Kengan side a well-earned win, putting Yumigahama in real danger.
