I'm not gonna lie, although I have The Beard within me, I kinda don't want Gensai to take part.
You know he won't win again so this feels like it would narratively be a waste to just wait and see who will defeat him. And whoever does it could be extremely disappointing. Just have him be the winner from Kengan 1 and keep him alive in our hearts as the undefeated Beard.
I wonder if Koga is going to cope up with something new when it comes to his fighting style. Every fighter has a uniqie style/quirk. Koga so far.. seems to be a striker. He definetly has a very sharp.. battle sense? so that idea will most likely be incorporated, but i dont think it will be like the other two predictive fighters.
Also, i wonder if Beardito (Beard+Rihito, yes i am unoriginal) will make an appearance soon.
Beard is being tracked down, so his 'student-not-student' should be here soon too... Hopefully. I just hope Beard wont go down the ''he will be beaten to show the strenght of the newcomers'' cliché.
