Kurotaki Alliance ranking
I've read a lot of inaccuracies lately about Osamu and the Kurotaki alliance, I even read something stupid like a guy saying Bull isn't the strongest in the Kurotaki alliance, and no one disputed it, I guess because it suited a certain type of narrative that would see Bull very low. But now, as I love to do, I'll clean things up a bit. For the guys who blocked me, you can log out and read my comments like you always do, then you can take some screenshots to review some points.
I will only talk about the senior officers, and not the young ones who would form the second generation of the alliance, so I will leave out Nakajima even though he is officially considered the last of the officers to join the first generation of Kurotaki. In any case, his position is easily placed between Osamu and Ishikawa.
You can comment and discuss my ranking, there are some dubious positions that I recognize myself like the position between Tsuyoshi and Maruken or the one between Takeshi Ishii and Takanashi Osamu for example and I will be happy to discuss them with you as long as you avoid silly or biased comments. And, above all, if you shit yourself and don't know how to counter my arguments, you can always block me and go your own way ;)
1. Osamu Furukawa "Bull"
The boy needs no introduction. Head of Takiya school and first head of the Kurotaki and one of the four kings of the city. He is declared, as if there was any need, as the strongest of the Alliance.
Probably equipped with the highest resistance and ability to absorb damage in the entire Crows/Worst series, probably the only one capable of competing with him in this respect is Hana Tsukishima. The boy bases his fighting style on suffering the attacks and assaults of the opponent to exhaust their energy and then close the fight with powerful charges and headbutts.
His particular and unique fighting style, which often leads him to suffer huge damage even against minor opponents, has created the misunderstanding that he was the weakest of the four kings, or even that he was not the strongest of the Kurotaki alliance... a crazy idea.
During his fight with Ishii Tsuyoshi he will demonstrate an unmatched durability, earning the respect of the astonished spectators and even of his enemies.
Yasuda, seeing him fight, will say that he understands why Harumichi considered Osamu extraordinary.
Later, it will also be stated that Osamu had now reached a completely different level compared to when he fought with Maruken and Kakuken.
Ryushin Kuno, seeing him, wondered how things would have ended between Kurotaki and Parko's gang if Osamu had been in the game.
Able to extinguish all of Ammo Nakajima's fighting will with his mere presence, the boy stated that just by seeing him he understood that he would lose even before understanding how strong he really was.
Able to defeat King Jo with a single blow, the only one among the four terrible freshmen to fall in that way against a senior, after having suffered a myriad of attacks from Jo, coming out practically unharmed.
In this fight he stated that he had become fatter, was deaf in one ear and a year before had suffered a serious injury caused by an accident.
Finally, Harumichi Bouya ranked Osamu higher than anyone else in his list of the toughest and strongest guys he had ever met in his life, stating that if Osamu was serious, then he would probably lose.
Harumichi thought he still had a chance of winning in a rematch against Rindaman, but felt he had no chance against Osamu.
2. Ishikawa Masao
Leader of Kawada 2, said to be the strongest in the alliance after Osamu. He was so strong that Bull, when he was a second year, said he wasn't sure he could beat him.
He was defeated by Nakakjima, declaring that the boy would become the next leader of the alliance.
A guy who is not only very strong, but also very cautious and wise.
Being considered the strongest after Bull, and therefore being considered stronger than Chiaki, it is conceivable that his level is equal to or even slightly superior to that of Parko.
It also means that Ammo Nakajima, who defeated Ishikawa, in his first year was at a very similar level, or even superior, to that of Parko. Which is consistent with Harumichi's statement that when he faced him he said that Nakajima was even tougher than Tetsuji. However, once again, Nakajima thought he didn't have a single chance against Bull.
3. Katayama Chiaki
Nicknamed Frankestain by Harumichi. He comes from the city near Toaru and together with his friend Osamu ruled the Yurikawa Sud school, the same as Abo in Worst. A giant with a tender heart, when Chiaki unleashes he transforms into one of the strongest fighters of the Kurotaki alliance and all of Crows. After his friend Osamu is massacred by Kiiku, Chiaki unleashes against Parko and manages to defeat him with a single kick, and considering Parko's level and durability, this is still one of the most impressive feats of strength ever shown to date and it is likely that Chiaki's kick is one of the strongest special moves ever in the entire series, along with Hana's uppercut and Guriko's ghost kick. In the rematch between Chiako and Parko, Parko will manage to dodge Chiaki's kick and the fight will continue in a very tough fight for both, until Parko manages to prevail.
4. Ishii Tsuyoshi
Former leader of the Rats, one of the most powerful motorcycle gangs in the south, along with his older brother. Giant of about two meters and protagonist of a legendary challenge against Bull. Despite trying in every way to knock down Bull with tremendous blows, Osamu will never declare himself defeated until he exhausts and knocks down Ishii with a tremendous headbutt.
He will later define Osamu as an extraordinary fighter.
After being defeated, he will join Osamu initially seeking protection from Parko and his gang, but then influenced by Osamu's personality he will become one of his most faithful lieutenants.
He is easily defeated by Parko and not by Teru as someone wrote in other posts.
It is interesting to note that Tsuyoshi is the youngest of the officers, before Nakajima's entry.
When he faces Osamu he is a freshman.
5. Maruyama Kenichi "Maruken"
Head of the Kurosaki school along with Karuken, his friend and rival, and one of the three original founders of the Kurotaki alliance and one of the strongest fighters in the group.
With a proud and determined character, in the past he could rival Bull.
He wins quite easily in a direct fight against Takanashi Osamu before he joined Kurotaki.
6. Kadozumi Kenichi "Kakuken"
Head of the Kurosaki school along with Maruken, his friend and rival, and one of the three original founders of the Kurotaki alliance and one of the strongest fighters in the group.
Aggressive and determined like Kakuken, in the past he could also compete with Bull.
He suffers a heavy defeat by Harumichi Bouya.
He is taken by surprise and knocked out by Jo with a powerful attack that throws him off a hill. King Jo stated that he had to resort to such a brutal surprise attack because he knew Karuken's worth and had to make sure the boy was out of action for a while.
7. Ishii Takeshi
He joins the alliance after his younger brother loses the fight with Osamu.
Deeply affected by the destruction of his old gang by Parko and his friends, he will find a new beginning in Bull and the Kurotaki alliance, until he becomes one of Osamu's most loyal members.
Very tall and of great physical prowess, but not as much as his younger brother. He does not have direct clashes in the manga, but is accidentally hit with his motorcycle by Parko while trying to save his younger brother but will not suffer long-term damage.
Former leader of the Rats, one of the most powerful motorcycle gangs in the south, along with his younger brother.
8. Takanashi Osamu
Leader of the largest school in the nearby city, the Yuri Sud, the same school as Abo in Worst, along with his faithful friend Chiaki and vice head of the Kurotaki alliance.
Initially he arrives in Toaru with Chiaki to search for the famous Rindaman and confront him but after being defeated quite easily by Maruken and meeting Bull he decides to join the alliance.
Small in stature, Osamu compensates with speed and explosive attacks.
He is easily defeated by Kiiko.
Despite not being among the strongest he is one of the most respected and will be chosen by the officers as second in command in the Kurotaki alliance.
9. Hirajima Shingo
He forms an alliance with Yagisawa Akira's Tsukamoto school to try to stem the growing influence of Kurotaki. But after witnessing Osamu's epic test against the youngest of the Ishii brothers, he decides to join him. After watching him fight, he states that Osamu has become much stronger than when he fought against Maruke and Kakuken.
He is defeated with one hit by Kiiko.
10. Yagisawa Akira
Head of the Tsukamoto school and cousin of the Ishii brothers, he joins Hirajima to try to stop the rise of the Kurotaki alliance.
Along with several men he tries to ambush Teru but suffers a heavy defeat.
He is the last of the senior officers, along with the Ishii brothers, to join the Kurotaki.
