He didn't just punch a hole through the Sea King's torso. He punched through the Sea King's left fist and then obliterated his chest.

It was raining, so the sea king was at full strength, too. Saitama winning isn't surprising, but that he did so in front of witnesses who knew who he was is.

And honestly, he probably hit him harder than he really needed to as well.

I guess this is how he gets his official name. He doesn't have one yet, does he?

Saitama only restraints himself when it's a human. He tends to go easy. They are still in pain, but at least they don't' have a hole in their torso. So he don't' give a poo poo going out on monsters.

He held back versus Genos. Didn't even do anything but dodge.

Funny thing about the genos fight is when Saitama was holding back, the fight was very shoneny; Lots of dodging, aerial acrobatics, ect. But when Genos asked Saitama to take the duel seriously, Saitama just sidestepped genos' attack and one shotted him.

I keep expecting that one punch to be less satisfying at some point, but hot drat if that wasn't glorious.

I keep enjoying the build-up to the One Punch as much as the next goon, but I really hope that Saitama gets the recognition he deserves so that the manga can change gears a bit. Or maybe ONE has some better tricks up his sleeve, dunno.

Don't worry, things get different as it goes along. A bigger part is focusing more on the other heroes, and ONE's definitely best when he's working with... eccentric personalities.

Murata is pretty much a genious. Personally, I'm not a real big fan of mangas or manwas, but there is no denying that I have never seen anyone do this medium as well as he does. I would pick this over any other comic art I've ever seen. Are there any who compare, across all genres? He's the Saitama of the comic world. One-page man. All it takes to blow you away.

Speaking of which Murata is doing a live stream right now: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nebu-kuro1 He's doing some ink work right now, but I can't for the life of me tell at what part of the story it is. nexas fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Aug 4, 2013 |

They'll send a styrofoam-padded box in the mail and send back a "like-new" refurbished Genos a couple weeks later.

I really thought the Sea King was one of the most enigmatic villains of all time, he didn't need any backstory, he just started loving people's poo poo up, and Murata's artwork made him imposing as hell and loving terrifying to boot. This particular frame reminds me of this, from Kingdom Come: I wonder if there is any inspiration drawn from this by Murata. Matoi Ryuko fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Aug 5, 2013 |

The slightly out of focus picture of the Seaking right after he busted through the shelter wall when the low rank heroes were fighting him was really well done as well. You could just barely make out his eyes and incredibly sharp array of teeth, it was pretty terrifying.

There was such oomph in those two page spreads that you could almost feel the air shaking. Close followup is the scene where Sea King punches Genos through a wall and then follows up with another huge punch. That was great.

If there ever was going to be a manga-comic crossover I would dearly love to see Dial H for Hero and characters from Onepunch-Man do a team up. Aside from that I've taken great pleasure in introducing my friends to Onepunch-Man. It's pretty awesome to hear them gush about each arcs conclusion of 'Saitama punches a guys in an awesome way'.
