Short new chapter.

Just some filler, hope it gets back on track to the main story soon.

Filler is padding to stretch something out, that is not what this is. It's an expansion of the story for the purposes of the story. It's not like this is a direct and exact translation anyway, it's an adaptation that is very faithful.

Unless you want to say other side stories are filler to. In which case you're wrong and I feel sorry that you don't understand divine revelation.

It's definitely odd to me, having already read the ONE version this stuff really throws me off, not really a bad thing at all, but it makes me a bit confused as to why because (slight spoilers about the overall arc) the arc is already pretty freaking long, like reading it all in one go gave me tons of moments of wondering how much loving longer could it possibly take, and that was cool, but yeah, already stuffed to the brim with stuff so more story is kinda head-tilting. Still hype, tho.

I like how this match up makes a lot of internal sense. Whether you wanna call it filler or bonus poo poo or whatever, the biggest problem people have when an adaptation adds something on is whether or not it actually makes sense.

By saying it's not a spoiler, you're now spoiling that it doesn't happen like that. This is the the risk of knowing spoilers.

You're assuming that he's read the ONE version or that, having read it, he actually remembers everything that happens during this super long story line.

Boros and Asura Rhino would definitely count, but Saitama met them before an official announcement could be made :toot:

I would probably put Asura in the Dragon Level threat area.

Boros was for sure a God Level threat. As the definition for it is, threat to the entire planet.

He probably could have destroyed the planet though, or at least heavily wrecked all of human civilization pretty easily.

He was just lucky enough to park his ship right on top of Saitama.

I highly doubt that if he had won he'd have gone "Okay that was a good fight, now I will take my merciless band of intergalactic killers and thieves and go off somewhere else, peace"

Since he came specifically to find Saitama, I doubt it's luck at all.

I wouldn't put Asura on the level of Boros, but I wouldn't call him a total chump either.

After all, he was the first and only villain until Boros to realize that Saitama was powerful at a first glance.

That's gotta count for something.

the only barometer we have for badguys is how fast they chump genos

altho i think that giant guy could have been a god level threat. He destroyed a city faster than boros
