I hope Licenseless Rider getting his rear end kicked becomes a prominent theme in this manga

There was a scene in one of the omakes where Licenseless Rider was a kid and was trying to save some other kid from getting roughed up by some bullies. Naturally it doesn't end well for him.

Saitama getting punched in the back of the head to utterly no effect was the first time that trope has actually made me super pumped in nearly a decade.

I agree about Licenseless Rider getting the credit. I want Saitama to accidentally bump him up to S-Rank by the end of the series.

I think Saitama already did that with another hero you see later, which is ridiculous.

The other low-rank heroes scraped up a bit of courage via teaming up when they had nowhere left to run. Licenseless Rider took on a giant monster who had just torn a combat cyborg to pieces. He specifically chose to risk his life for others when he could have just left instead. And as far as I can tell, in spite of how he is a parody of Kamen Rider he is just some dude who rides a bike without any special abilities.

Right they're not bad people for not committing suicide, but when the fight came to them they stood up and defended the civilians. It's not quite Licenseless Rider's unbridled gusto but they did the right thing.

True, that I will give them.

And yes I pumped my fist when Saitama came into the scene. The fact the slap to behind Saitama's head did jack poo poo has me excited to see Saitama blow this guy's head off.

He certainly didn't become rank 1 C Class from skill or strength. It's all gusto and being a true hero in a hero's organization mostly lacking exactly that.

There is nothing to indicate that the Sea King is any more dangerous than the other stuff Saitama has beaten with one punch. The only thing that will fly away are the tiny bits of meat that used to be his torso.

I imagine it will be several pages of the Seaking using everything he's got on Saitama only for Saitama to be standing there looking at him like "that it, seriously Genos how do you keep losing to these guys" before walloping him good across the stratosphere.

Please don't be lewd, this is a childrens comic.

Also yeah, Saitama throwing a punch in the first panel and the rest of the panels being motion-blurred shots of the atmosphere turning into space would be pretty cool. It feels like it's been so long since we saw him punch a dude, little disappointed we didn't get any of that payoff this chapter. Licenseless Rider is great though!

Pri Pri Prisoner is an outstanding exemplar of human goodness, who is only out to make friends with other cool heroes. Also his super power is getting naked, I mean comon.

At this rate, next chapter is gonna be 3 pages and then another half month before next.

I think with all this build-up, Sea King has to be the first guy to be able to dodge one of Saitama's punches. I dont think there's a single entity on earth who can block or survive one of those, so the only option left is dodging them.

Okay, this character bait-and-switch is getting ridiculous. We've had almost the entire cast of the comic try and fail against the sea king at this point. As awesome as it looks, I kinda hope this won't become a repeating pattern...

He apologized and seemed pretty disappointed that he only got 57 pages for that issue. Bringing it up is just being a jerk, man.

He even gave us this around the same time:



Being serious though, what is the average page count for an issue of One Punch Man? It's got to be in like the low 30s I'd think.

I love that the kanji on that house says "Shoryuken" but using the sign for 'house'. So it's the "Rising dragon house".
