Alright, on a more serious note, let's all remember that this guy only has a black tattoo, unlike Naidan who had a white tattoo. Naidan was higher up in the Worm hierarchy.
Alan Wu doesn't know anything about the "tiger's vessel", except that he is supposed to have received training from Tokita Niko, which we know there are many so it's fairly easy to dismiss his speculation that Lu Tian is the one. Lu Tian just wants to show he's better than the prototype and that's a bit pathetic. I'm going to hope that Agito grabs his ponytail and strangles him with it.
Lu is getting hyped now, but after the fight it might be just like with Yumigahama, he actually won't have the best win-loss record in Purgatory (then again, it might not mean much if Lu never used the formless style in Purgatory until now; for all we know he had been restricting himself to the Wuwang fist, since that was all Kengan had on his data). I'm really hoping Agito overcomes this and sticks it to the Worm.

I don't know much about Gu, but if the Toad beats the Centipede, doesn't the Serpent beat the Toad? Is Liu Dongcheng the big boss, but he's got memory loss usually?
@Clozdark
Yeah, Nicolas is just dicking around. I didn't expect him to be a funny guy like that. But who knows, maybe he actually has a different Worm tattoo which isn't a centipede (different branch or Worm?), or maybe he's not even a part of Worm.
