Speed of Sound Sonic is not a good person but he doesn't seem too bad next to dudes who level cities.

Speed of Sound Sonic (lol) knows better than to actually make Saitama angry.

I kind of do think the (monster) gore is important in parts. Like, if Saitama punches a monster and it just kind of flops to the ground instead of literally exploding into a hundred bits it's a pretty stark difference in the amount of power shown

I could see them doing something like he punches them and they just silhouette and dissolve into chunks or whatever that way, rather than showing extreme 80's esque gore with eyeballs popping out and stuff.

You can blow up all the monsters and robots you want. I just wouldn't expect a ton of blood.

Am I the only one seeing people saying Sonic hasn't done anything 'bad bad' a few posts after a link to him slicing a dude's head into three slices, a panel from the chapter where he murders about forty people?

Astus posted:Well, there was that time he threatened to kill all the other prisoners, just so he could pass the time. Kinda weird everyone forgot about that part. So in order to prove that Sonic is too evil to be a hero, you link to the chapter introducing the S-class hero who rapes prisoners because they are criminals and don't have the same rights as other people?

Which is doubly ridiculous, because the reason Sonic can't be a hero is that he isn't registered with the Hero Association.

I think the point we should take away is that everybody in this world is just a little hosed up inside, especially the heroes.

To add to this useless discussion, didn't Sonic attack civilians at one point just to get Saitama's attention?

Killing people even if they've broken the law is wrong, pretty sure caveat: I'm English e: yet I'm fine with wholesale monster slaughter? ...maybe man was the true monster all along Illuyankas fucked around with this message at 19:42 on May 19, 2015 |

This assassin who greatly enjoys murdering people and once tried to murder a bunch of random bystanders to get what he wanted isn't so bad, you know?

Our hero is a person who punches sentient beings so hard that they quite literally evaporate before immediately flying into a panic because he forgot it was a sale day. This is not a comic where deep moral considerations are entertained.

Everyone in this thread agrees that a 50% sale on eggs is way more important than a few human lives If you don't then

It's also a comic where an entire city getting wiped out by an alien menace elicits the global response of "Oh dear," while the No. 1 A-Rank hero doesn't even consider it worthy of breaking off his scheduled movie shoot to deal with.

Just because one person is an rear end in a top hat it doesn't make a second, unrelated person any less of an rear end in a top hat. While they are definitely in the minority, there are heroes in this comic who are decent human beings.

I just know that the day we learn his deal, or at least see a bit of the story entirely focused on him, poo poo will never be the same.

Speed of Sound Sonic (lol) has only killed a few people that we've seen and it was in combat. It's not too late for him to become a part of the team Vegeta in Dragonball Z killed entire planets and became the backbone of the team so its not like it's some unprecedented thing

There's another DBZ crossover floating around out there by the same guy. Saitama participates in the Tenkaichi Budokai I'll try and post a link if anyone gets around to translating it.

dude showed up while goku wasnt around and declined to start poo poo, so they more or less just rolled with it. even if the people on earth wanted to, it isnt like they could have punished vegeta anyway. by contrast, sonic is a superhuman in a society with a bunch of superhumans. he got underestimated because he was beaten by a c class hero, but if necessary he could be captured and imprisoned by people other than saitama.

I think it's just an anime trope that when a hero beats a potential villain and the villain rivals the hero and becomes concerned only with their defeat, or just simply is shown to no longer possess an actual threat to the hero, they become considered a large degree of not-evil. It seems to pop up a lot: Gurren Lagann, DBZ, One Piece... Doesn't matter how many people you've killed before, you're redeemable. Which I guess is a nice sentiment?

Well, if punching can fix other problems there's no reason it can't fix moral issues.
