Fans are about to witness Saw Paing's next match-up in the upcoming semifinals in "Kengan Omega" Chapter 173. The previous chapter's last sequence saw Ashura level.
Paing came out as the victor. However, his move was reckless, resulting in sustaining serious injuries. So, what will happen next in "Kengan Omega" Chapter 173?
Epic Dope noted that Paing's injuries were so serious that they couldn't be ignored. This may put the fighter in danger, knowing it will affect his next fight in the semifinals.
Sure, he can unleash tank kicks much better with some wrestling instruction under Seki, but Imai Cosmo may not focus on that this time.
Though it's possible, the panels mostly focused on Koga training. Hence, Cosmo going through the same thing will be an uninteresting sight.
Meanwhile, "Kengan Omega" Chapter 172, titled "Wonderful," continued the fight between Cosmo and Paing. Cosmo evidently had the upper hand in the battle.
He used brawl techniques, like armlock, pound, front choke, guillotine, and elbow, to try to bring Cosmo down, per The News Fetcher. The latter, alternatively, used Hammer of Burma and choke to fight off Paing.
Cosmo stopped moving, making Kazuo think that there would be a stalemate. Cosmo started to think of what submission to go with.
Kureishi knew Cosmo had broken his fist and would want to avoid strikes. Paing then began swinging his elbows from below, which Cosmo caught.
He held Paing tightly, making his arms and shoulders creak. Paing shook him off, thanks to his sweat that helped his hand slip through.
Cosmo then got him in a chokehold, and blood started to draw from Paing's face, making the latter remember his fight against Sekibayashi Jun and defeat the opponent. Jun told him that if he could beat him, he could defeat anyone and win the tournament.
This made Pain get back on his feet, going for a Hammer of Burma on the floor and breaking free from Cosmo's chokehold. He sliced Cosmo's face, resulting in being knocked down, though Paing never planned to topple him with the Hammer of Burma.
He intended to use it to absorb all the impact on his forehead and break free from utilizing the recoil. However, Cosmo was left defeated, making Paing the fight's winner and advancing him to the semifinals.
"Kengan Omega" Chapter 173 will be out on Wednesday, August 31.
