Nonsensical Space Powers, Activate! Form of Friendship!

One does storyboarding okay, but Murata just has an insane sense for "show, don't tell". It's the differences between the two that really stand out.

In the latest chapter, it's page 21 where Saitama is just standing there after the attack and then the camera pulls back for the big reveal. And simply doesn't mention it and moves on.

Sheer brilliance.

Well, there's a little tell, but its done the best way it could be - after Saitama has chewed Fubuki out for not getting what it means to be a hero, so it ends up framed as a demonstration, rather than explaining after the fact. But yes, that he just does it so naturally is what makes it work so well.

That's part of the charm of the series really. It may examine and critique the concept of a superhero, but it understands them better than most these days.

Saitama is drawn at his most badass explaining what a true hero is/does, and when his power is shown hes back to regular ol' Saitama.

Its not the beard hero on the outside, its the Hero on the inside.

One of the few Heroes that Saitama has acknowledged is a weak C-Class with the strength of a normal dude, but he acknowledged Licence-less Rider as a true hero.

I hope we get to see more Tatsumaki simply because she and Saitama are cut from the same cloth. The cloth of being super powerful and also poorly drawn most of the time.

So maybe I'm reading the flow wrong but she's going at him when the the two others fighting go behind her, catching her off guard, and Saitama just instantly steps in the way to protect her even though milliseconds earlier she was trying to cut his face? The lines of the explosion read like that.

Because it looks like that to me and I just really like the fact that you can 100% be behind Saitama doing stuff like that and he is just the best.

So, Sonic Speed is S-class level of power, right? And his only concern is beating Genos so he can challenge Saitama?

God this manga is just too good. I really hope we get another "DEATH" pulled punch from Saitama towards Sonic like during his big fight with Genos just to end the constant fighting and Sonic goes "huh. Well I'm done"

Her dress only gets skin-tight when she uses her powers to create wind, which is a nice touch. And really, can you blame Murata? He has had approximately 0 chances to draw attractive women thus far in this manga. An artist who likes to draw women isn't exactly unusual.

Speed Of Sound Sonic (lol) isn't even a hero so it's kinda hard to tell what his level would be. From what we've seen now he certainly doesn't have S-level strength if he couldn't take Genos. Though, the only fights I can remember him losing was that sea monster [Was it a king too?] because he was saving someone else's life and got acid on him and Saitama.

It's interesting to see how her design has changed from where we first saw her:



Mainly her boobs are bigger and her clothes are tighter.

Hard to say as we haven't seen much of his fight with Genos, but he's gotta be at least high A-rank if he can hold his own against an S-rank hero. He also did pretty good again'st the Sea King who defeated 2 S-ranks.

He didn't get balltapped until the very end of his first appearance and groinshots hurt like hell for chicks too.

e: like now that I think back on it, aside from saitama's dialog the whole scene is framed like the punchline to a joke where sonic having balls to be punched in is the big reveal that he's actually a dude.

Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

Sonic is S Rank in power. Lowest of the S Ranks is Mr. Rapey Prisoner guy and Sonic completely unarmed is about as strong as him. Armed, well he is going up against genos who so far hasn't landed and hits on him which is kind of a big deal.

Also remember when Sonic slipped out of his clothes while fighting the sea kings "I'm wet prepared to get WRECKED" mode? and went streaking to go get some drat weapons to kill the big loving fish? no tits there.

Speed of Sound Sonic(:lol:) is greater than S-rank in speed but lower than most of the S-ranks in everything else, at least that is my impression. I think he would be pretty powerful with the right weapons, though who knows, maybe he already is, does he ever pull out that sword of his?

Didn't he use it on his first fight with Saitama, in which Saitama just grabbed it? Not at home to read through and check it.
