Since I saw this manga start to get noticed here, I've been waiting for some goon to start a TFLC log with this in it (and probably get banned when they try to say it was a "joke")

Shine would probably be fine because someone would be working out. Until they abandoned the log and he had to probate them. e: tbh he'd probably just see the probating part coming and say no to begin with Wrist Watch fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Jul 21, 2013 |

Gyges posted:He apologized and seemed pretty disappointed that he only got 57 pages for that issue. Bringing it up is just being a jerk, man. I asked for a manga chapter not an animated gif! Anyway, I was re-reading from the start, and it struck me. Did genos save saitama's life when they fought the mosquito girl? Saitama didn't seem to be immune to mosquito bites, and he couldn't crush one mosquito, so perhaps mosquito girl was saitama's kryptonite.

He could have leveled the city with a backhand if it got too annoying, so no.

No not the mosquito girl. Like literally a small mosquito. Saitama could not kill it at all. Hell he went down chasing the little bastard.

I love Murata's art (probably?) as much as everyone else here, but is there anything else out there that's comparable? Murata has a lot of freedom because he's not chained down by page limits here, but there's stuff out there that's just as dynamic and insane in detail, right?

Inoue Takehiko (Slam Dunk, Vagabond) is also an astounding artist, as are Samura Hiroaki (Blade of the Immortal) and Mori Kaoru (Emma, A Bride's Story). Though it's not technically a manga, the guy who does The Ravages of Time is also pretty amazing. I also have a soft spot for Nogizaka Tarou (Team Medical Dragon, The Ghost Tower). Nihei Tsutomu (Biomega, Blame!) is also brought up reguarly when discussing talented artists, though personally his art isn't my thing. My guilty pleasures are Itagaki Keisuke (Garouden, Grappler Baki) and Yamaguchi Takayuki (Shigurui), and if you're looking for great depictions of action you could do worse than look them up. I have to admit, though, I think Murata is the best at the "holy poo poo I swear it's moving" kind of art when it comes to manga. AnonSpore fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Jul 22, 2013 |

Saitama didn't seem to be immune to mosquito bites, and he couldn't crush one mosquito, so perhaps mosquito girl was saitama's kryptonite. You could also fight him with toxic gas, electric shocks, acids (acid spit is just going to get dodged though, sorry Sea King)... anything else? Basically Mosquito woman was Saitama's hard-counter.

He was just annoyed by a mosquito, its not like he went all out on it. Lets say you are some Idaho militia man with a gigantic stockpile of weapons to fight the government when they try to repeal the second amendment. Would that insane redneck use the power of his full arsenal to kill a single mosquito? Same deal with Saitama.

Bisse posted:Well, if you think about it, mosquitos and swarm/area-based attacks are the only way to fight Saitama from what we know so far. He doesn't seem to have any superpowers he's just ridiculously fast and strong, so trying with any level of martial-arts/defense/strength will just get you killed the moment Saitama remembers which day was sale day. (Today) But what's he going to do against a swarm of mosquitos? Punch it? He's going to punch it, then get swarmed drained and die. I think if he can punch through a meteor, he can probably kill a mosquito lady, no matter what she sends at him. The only enemy that has actually ever put up a fight was in Saitama's dream. For real though, it was just meant to be humorous. And it was. very. Matoi Ryuko fucked around with this message at 10:54 on Jul 22, 2013 |

Yes, but if Superman throws the moon at the earth, and then the moon/earth pancake into the sun, then Batman will lose. Man I wish I remember where I saw that pic.

If some hundred-ton sea monster can't hurt Saitama with his punches, I don't think that the humble mosquito's sting can pierce his skin either. So no, Mosquitoes can't beat Saitama. On the other hand, it might be that Saitama can't beat the mosquitoes either.

According to the laws of anime, beings of Saitama's power can punch the air hard enough to create deadly shockwaves that would probably kill mosquitoes right then and there.

Mosquito lady sent a tsunami of mosquitoes over the area where Genos and Saitama were standing, then Genos caused an explosion in the same area. The result was that Saitama's cloths were destroyed but he was completely unhurt. The single mosquito that first caused Saitama to rage just buzzed around him like a fly.
