So, is OnePunchMan's gimmick like a magic thing, where he beats anything with one punch because that's just the way the universe works, or is he just supposed to be such a badass that he's never needed more than one punch, and it's still theoretically possible for him to have to punch someone twice if he meets someone tough enough? This is important.

It's the latter. The joke is that he is hilariously absurdly ridiculously strong but it never matters because nothing can challenge him and his origin story is "pushups, situps and plenty of juice."

The anime to date is great and both the manga version and original webcomic version are fully translated and pretty short overall so it's worth. It's fantastic.

We don't actually know where Saitama's strength comes from, but it is one of those things that will be incredibly unsatisfying to actually know and would actually go better if unanswered forever.

expected chichi to be much worse this ep thanks to peeps complaining about her in this thread but it wasn't that bad at all. chichi's always been a controlling mom and I think she just needs time to get used to gohan being a dad and her being a grandma

Raxivace posted:Are Bulma and Krillin directly talking about General Blue being gay in the original Japanese? I have to wonder if Krillin's line in this translation is some attempt to cover up the, uh, fairly homophobic depiction of Blue as a character. I dunno about the original line but in the spanish translation he says "I didn't know there were gay guys in the Red Ribbon army".

One martial artist character theorizes Saitama is a Buddha. But that's most likely bullshit, and it really is the juice.

I was more referring to the scientist from the house of evolution's explanation when he was attacked by Zombieman and had to explain who blew up his hideout. Possibly bullshit too.

He has a supporting cast who are of a lower power level and it actually allows for some legitimately great (if often hilarious) fights, at least in the manga.It's just that at the end of the day you've got One Punch Man.

I think you are reading into it too much. OPM is set in a universe where, for example, you can turn into a giant crab monster just from eating too much crab. There isn't more to the logic than that, it's just how things are.

Kild posted:instead of a crab monster, Saitama is a Hero Monster. Not really. They kind of had a scene in the webcomic where they explain that Saitama's ability specifically are not like that. The scientist mentions that all heroes and monsters are similar: they become obsessed with one thing so much that they transform. Or they are genetically enhanced and/or are a different species. Saitama is made clear to be none of the above.

TheKingofSprings posted:I didn't think it was very good, they're trying way too hard to be smart, and to callback to earlier gags instead of just being independently funny. I dunno, the funny stuff that is a reference is still funny even if you don't get the references. So long as you have some knowledge of Dragonball before hand. Like The Androids number count being wrong again, Piccolo save me. Etc etc

That's just it, I watch it with friends who don't necessarily catch every episode and know a whole lot about Dragon Ball, so those jokes get a whole lot more awkward when I'm the only one finding them funny. E: honestly "Piccolo save me" wasn't particularly funny

DBZA Goku'd humour comes mostly from how the rest of the cast react to him. Most obviously with Gohan being increasingly fed up with his dad's poo poo.
