Discrepancy in the chapter count

I wonder, why does the scanlated chapter count on Baka-Updates say that today the 174th chapter got released, while that same chapter is 173 elsewhere? Does anybody know anything concrete?

They probably merged a couple chapters. Nothing concrete though.

Hmm. I guess looking through them all would be too tiring 😀

"elsewhere" does not tell me any information to help verify your claim that there is a discrepancy. State were you saw this, and then I might be able to help you.

Edit:
Also, it's the 164th chapter not 174th. Anyways, it's probably because there was a miscount in the early chapters, because Tripledraw does not label them consecutively.

Kenji Vol.18 Ch.001: Ambush
Kenji Vol.17 Ch.010: The 72 Shaolin Arts
Kenji Vol.16 Ch.010: Core
Kenji Vol.15 Ch.010: Battle in the Darkness
Kenji Vol.14 Ch.009: Entering the Tiger's Den
Kenji Vol.13 Ch.009: Vision in the Huangcheng
Kenji Vol.12 Ch.009: Flight
Kenji Vol.11 Ch.009: Audition
Kenji Vol.10 Ch.010: Arch Rivals
Kenji Vol.09 Ch.010: Zhang Dekui
Kenji Vol.08 Ch.009: Empty Hand Against Sword
Kenji Vol.07 Ch.010: Setting Off
Kenji Vol.06 Ch.010: Big Baji
Kenji Vol.05 Ch.009: Ting Jin
Kenji Vol.04 Ch.010: Surprise Attack Strategy
Kenji Vol.03 Ch.010: Kazetoku
Kenji Vol.02 Ch.010: Secret
Kenji Vol.01 Ch.009: Resolve

When you add these up, you get 164.

Thanks Toto.
That discrepancy I was talking about was between BU and Mangafox. Now I didn't know wether or not it was okay to refer to an Online Reader while talking about a scanlation here. So I specifically didn't say where that was.
However, today morning that discrepancy was cleared up in response to my post above (I got an email telling me so) and thus, my question has been answered and the problem resolved.

Thanks again for that list Toto, believe it or not, I'm kinda mathematically challenged. 😀
When I see a large amount of numbers to be computed that are at least 2 digits long, my brain just draws a blank and kinda freezes... xD So I couldn't ever be sure I actually would've gotten that same result you did from that list.

I don't remember mangafox ever listing the chapters of kenji consecutively... they always restarted the chapter count for each volume because that's how tripledraw added it (or Toomin).

if you don't enter the Kenji page itself, but only type 'Kenji' into the searchbar and press enter, you'll see the total number of chapters, not the last released. Until yesterday, that had always been one lower than here, even though the chapters were the same and none missing. Something went wrong and I didn't know where. Had me confused so I asked.^^
