Am I the only one that doesn't really care about Ohma not being in the sequel ? I mean he's kinda bland as a character, and honestly he's been mostly in the background during the tournament, if you exclude the last 15-20 chapters. This manga really isn't protag centric, and many fighters have interesting enough shticks on their own. To me what really makes the manga is Yamashita's evolution through it all, and I'm really interested in seeing how he'll deal with the death of Ohma, provided he's in the sequel (ironically enough his absence would make me way more angry than Ohma's death).
