I thought it was also funny how the hero Saitama thinks is so dumb is an homage to Anpanman (just like Saitama himself!), a hero with bread for a head who was basically Superman except he'll let you munch on his head if you're hungry.

NowonSA posted:The Baked Potato represents the oppression of the poor by the rich. The butter on his head is the small, insignificant pay and favors the rich give to "butter" up the masses. Saitama will beat the entire Hero Organization in an arm wrestling competition at the same time, with Tatsumaki and Fubuki holding him back psychically, and people will still assume they just handed him the match. What'd solve the problem is if he toyed around with the monsters after they beat everyone. Or punted them into the mesosphere. You can't explain away someone kicking a monster the size of a house forty+ miles into the air! But that'd kill a lot of the humor of the story so I doubt that'd actually happen.

I'm looking forward to him one-punching a giant dragon into a million pieces and everyone just assuming it had a hidden bomb inside it or something. This just happened though

I hope someone in-story makes the "it was swamp gas/a weather balloon" excuse to handwave Saitama's achievements.

What's the deal with issue/volume numbering? I read a lot of western comics, but One Punch Man is the first manga I've ever read as it was being published, and I'm a little confused. The latest issue available is 44.5, but the one before it was 44.3. They also have different subtitles even though they're given the same issue number?

The artist tends to go back a lot and add new chapters in between old ones, and also redraws certain chapters to make the art better, so I imagine that mucks up the chapter numbering quite a bit.

One-Punch Man originated as a webcomic written and drawn by a guy known only as "ONE." Japanese hotshot illustrator Yusuke Murata caught wind of it later and struck a deal with ONE to redraw his work for a wider audience, including official publication. ONE's art is fairly...simple, I guess you could say, whereas Murata's operates on another level entirely. Subsequently, it takes him longer, so sometimes he'll adapt a longer chapter in shorter chunks, or even redraw/redesign something several times. All of this is condensed and cleaned up for the individual volume releases.

Ah, that's a little different. A lot of series will sometimes churn out an intermission or interval chapter between "Actual" chapters. These chapters are usually either unimportant or merely incidental to the existing storyline, and are frequently denoted as X.5, "Halfway" between the previous chapter and the next. In One-Punch Man's case, you'll notice chapter 44.5 pretty much has nothing to do with the rest of chapter 44 before it. Your confusion is due to the way the uploaders have chosen to identify different segments of the same chapter, which bears similarities with how interval chapters are usually marked out. In a published volume, chapters 44.1, 44.2, and 44.3 would all be condensed into one, single chapter, so it'd be easier to identify chapter 44.5 as its own thing. Individual chapters getting chopped up isn't the norm, so this isn't a problem you'd run into with the ordering in most other comics.

For extra bonus confusion, some sites number the chapters differently than others. Some number the redraw according to Murata's release schedule, while some number it according to what point in the original webcomic it corresponds to. Considering Murata publishes anywhere from 5 to 50 pages at a time, trying to judge the pacing from numbers alone is a little difficult. Just start at the beginning, keep clicking next and try not to think about it.

I started reading through OPM again and in the third chapter I think I noticed someone. Look here: http://bato.to/read/_/153181/onepunch-man_ch3v2_by_boon-scanlation/11 in the bottom right panel - is it King?

Nah, King's whole thing is that he doesn't really let his constant pants-wetting terror show on his face.

King's real personality is what people expect from Saitama, and Saitama's "serious" personality is what they expect from someone who looks like King. King's efforts to hide his terror make him look intimidating as gently caress, yet he can't find the resolve do anything but passively go along with what happens to him. That's exactly the sort of blandness that people associate with Saitama's unassuming demeanor.

To be fair, all King has going for him is an imposing presence and a grandmaster poker face. If those don't work, he's got nothin'.

King doesn't so much have a poker face as he's just too goddamn terrified to move his face at all.

Literally every time someone is finally set on "calling his bluff", to continue the poker analogy, a real hero shows up to take care of the situation.
