He comes off as the kinda guy who became a hero because he wanted everyone to love him as a celebrity hero, so exaggerating, even just to himself, the threat he's facing to a disaster that will destroy all humanity is probably just an extension of that. He's like the opposite of Saitama.

And he even managed to take four out at once while being physically exhausted enough to barely be able to stand. I'm just saying the guy might have some cause to be a bit cocky. If you're saving the goddamn city every other day is it so wrong to enjoy the celebrity that gets you?

When the TV report that clued Saitama and Genos into the problem, it described the disaster level as "Tiger." According to Genos's description of disaster levels, "Tiger: Threat to an unspecified large number of human lives." When Stinger finished off the last four enemies, he estimated that their total threat would be "God" level, "Threat to humanity." I'm not saying he's not super tough, one of the ones he took out was listed as "Tiger" on it's own and he took down ten by himself while getting a roughed up face. I'm just saying he's prone to exaggerating.

By the by, we don't really feel it because Saitama is so freakishly strong, but anywhere from demon up is a serious threat that calls for the intervention of an S-class hero. Many of the enemies we've already seen, from the mosquito woman to Beefcake to Asura Kabuto, were easily demon level threats who would be able to give multiple low-ranking S-classers a run for their money. So when Stringer takes out a bunch of tiger level threats by himself he's actually doing really good for an A-ranker. It's just that when compared to the likes of Saitama, or even Genos or Sonic, he's way out of his league.

And isn't he like the first guy out of the heroes to ya know actually beat an enemy on screen. All the other heroes always get their rear end kicked or get hosed up to the point they have to leave the screen. Until Saitama shows up and just one punches everything which fine with me because most of these heroes are just douchebags. Except Watchdog-man.

AtomikKrab posted:Genos beat up the Gorilla, off screen but the Gorilla guy was much tougher than these scrubs. Genos is a primary character versus Stringer who's just some random hero. Most of the time when we see heroes leaping into battle it's to showcase how easily the villains are capable of defeating them. I think the only real exception was when we saw that one woman beat up the wind-robot guy... but then he wasn't dead quite yet... I forget her name.

The best part about the Rank B heroes will always be that Tank Top Tiger manages to be considered a worse hero than all of them. Also, question for the people who have read the original: when do we get to meet Metal Bat?

Anyway, I just took a peek at Murata's drawing stream and he's doing a scene from chapter 27. The most recent chapter covers up to the end of chapter 24. So it looks like he was serious about the 100 page thing (if there was ever any doubt). AnonSpore fucked around with this message at 07:11 on May 6, 2013 |

As great as he is, it still seems strange that the publisher lets him do full color whenever and however many pages. Bakuman told me color pages are a rare treat. This is printed in a magazine, right?

One Punch Man is as close to independent publishing as the Manga industry can possibly get. Murata makes it himself on what is essentially his own schedule. As far as I can tell, he doesn't have anyone looking over his shoulder about any of this except maybe ONE.

He can pretty much do whatever he wants whenever. It's just lucky that he is apparently the most industrious mangaka alive. We'd be SOL if Murata (of Berserk fame) was doing this.

Judging from the scene he's drawing right now, Murata's finishing up work on chapter 28 (again, the most recent chapter finished with the end of chapter 24). I'm guessing that he might end it in the middle of chapter 29, given the pacing so far and how he said he was 70 pages in around chapter 27. At his current rate that'll put him at finishing the rough pencil sketches today/tomorrow, which leaves him more than a week to fine-tune the drawings and then ink them.

He does have deadlines and an editor who he has to get approval from before pulling these crazy stunts (at least as far as I understand it from some comments he's made). Being an online publication missing the deadline isn't as much of a fuckup though. They do give him a lot of freedom, but it's not like he's just doing literally whatever he wants on his own schedule.

I heard he's very sick, but how does it works for the publisher's industry deadline when an author is sick? Cause it feels like the publisher will let him off indefinitely until he can do a few chapters and the cycle repeats. Sorry if there's a Manga Industrial thread somewhere.

This is probably unlikely, but from what I've heard, it's because Yu Yu Hakusho was so popular that Togashi gets a lot of leeway nowadays.

HxH is also incredibly popular. As for Togashi's medical issues, no one really knows the specifics. He might be desperately ill or he might be weird and sort of lazy. As far as I know, there is no concrete evidence on the matter whatsoever.
