oh hey I used to watch anime in high school and then for a while I didn't.

recently (last four weeks or so) I started watching One Punch Man and I like it a lot.

Turns out the anime thread is not dissimilar except with less onomatopoeia discussion. I had been avoiding the manga as to not spoil the anime, but I'll probably wind up reading it in the show hole between seasons so I guess I'll be back.

Thanks dudes.

Finally caught up on this thread again. You guys posted a lot of little spoilers and then never tagged them even after being called out on it. :/

About the anime:
I really really didn't like the King engine
or Tatsumaki

I always thought of Tatsumaki as a very mature person that everyone treated as a child because of her appearance, not an actual child. The jokes about her being a child seem so much less funny when she also acts and sounds like one.

And yeah, I have to see what first time anime-viewers think, but King's engine didn't sound intimidating. I also thought it was going to be more like an engine. Or at least a more voluminous and bass sound. Some kind of deafening rumble. It was probably the #1 thing I was looking forward to in the anime, but oh well. As long as they do the other King stuff well when it gets to there.

Also, it was a few pages back, but I also thought that Genos was firing blue laser beams. Genos is basically powerless on his own. Dr Stench is the real hero. I also think he was the one that created the rampaging robot. Or maybe the rampaging robot was Genos all along.

Dr. Stench was a possibility for Genos' true enemy before Metal Knight appeared. Dude has absolutely no morals and fucks around with dangerous experimental weapons all the time.

Tatsumaki comes off as pretty drat bratty in the manga as well, to me at least. I'd say it's only the ONE version where she comes off differently for me (more of a bitchy old lady than a brat).

King sounds like he's about to have an aneurysm. Don't really know if that's what they were going for, but it doesn't give the game away, I think.

I'd do the same and I'm 25. :colbert: I am also a child though...

By the way, how do the rankings work in regards to classing up? It seemed like the Rank 1s of each Class can somehow block you from rising to the next class. Do you need to be Rank 1 of a Class to move up to the next one or what?

Yes.

Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask has been sitting on A-1 for years just to keep the riff-raff (in his opinion) away from the S ranks.

Yeah, Genos was really lucky to get in S-Class right out of the gate.

Edit: Hasn't Fubuki been sitting on B-1 too? Though I think that's more because she's got a good niche with the Blizzard Group.

Nah, Fubuki explained that she could definitely reach the higher ranks of class A, but if she's not rank 1 then what's the point.

Common Rider was blocking moving up from C class, Fubuki blocks moving up from B class, and Sweet Mask blocks moving up from A class.
Well, I was just confused because Common Rider didn't seem to change his position when Saitama moved up. I guess he temporarily lost #1, but Saitama moved up to B Class anyway so he got it back?

Dec 10, 2014



From what I remember, Common Rider was just not moving up because he didn't think he could cut it in B class or something. That's what I remember reading, anyways.

ChaosArgate

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Yeah that's basically how it went down. Common Rider's not really trying to impede anyone from moving up, he just knows he can't cut it in B class so he stays where he is.

It's entirely possible to overtake someone's rank so I'd imagine what Mask is doing is making sure it's difficult for anybody to beat his "Score."

Because as someone who works with drone parts, seeing one in anime was deliciously absurd to me.

Yeah, it was. It happened after Saitama got the crowds riled up against him after Deep Sea King though, not right after the King died.

Are you saying Metal Knight is the one with no morals or Dr. Stench? Because all we know about Stench is he saved Genos' life by turning him into a cyborg and seems like a decent guy.

Who's this Little
Spaghetti?? ??
Yeah, Common Rider is sitting on C Rank 1 because he doesn't think he is strong enough to cut it in B-Class, so he stays where he is. He doesn't even attempt to get in anyone's way and just lets people move on to B-Class when they rank up past him. No one else wants to be in C-Class, so he ends up sticking around at rank 1 for basically forever.

Fubuki remains at B Rank 1 because, while she is strong enough to get a high rank in A, she couldn't get Rank 1 because Sweet Mask holds it. So she remains at B-Rank 1 because she likes the power being at rank 1 gives you. She doesn't directly stop anyone from ranking up to Class A, but she also attempts to recruit anyone promising in B-Class to her group, and anyone she's recruited basically gets their rank frozen to B-Class by virtue of the entire group dividing credit between themselves. So to get past her to A-Class, you need to avoid joining her group, but also survive her attempt to rookie-crush you for avoiding joining her group. She's basically running a hero mafia.

Sweet Mask holds A Rank 1 because he doesn't want anyone else to go to S-Class unless they look good. If you can't put on a pretty face for society, you're not worthy of representing the hero association. He could move up to S-Class at any time but then he'd have to just let any old A-Class Rank 1 Hero move up to S-Class and that just would NOT do. So he keeps his seat and is basically a giant wall barring anyone else from moving up to S-Class.

Sort of, but there's another component to what he does where the Association consults with him like they did with Saitama. He's basically their PR advisor because they're dumb.
