In case anyone hasn't seen the finished version, sans awesome chopsticks pen:




Edit: I just realized Flash is slightly cropped from the WIP picture and we can just see Metal Knight's artillery barrels at the bottom and Sweet Mask is missing so I dunno if there's a more complete picture of this somewhere.

The new episode reminded me of an extra reason for how stupid the idea of Evil Saitama is. His general reaction to Boros going around and killing people because of the same "I AM TOO STRONG" boredom.

That said, if we get a spinoff about Metal Bat and his hot-blooded fighting spirit I will weep tears of joy.

I thought this was the anime thread and was trying to be coy about it but I'm glad I didn't actually spoil a thing.

Evil Saitama for no reason is dumb but it could really work if instead they worked it as 'Very annoyed Saitama' What Happens When You Make The Strongest Man In The World Miss Special Sale Day? You Don't Want To Find Out!

And in the vein of terrible things, I was watching a stream earlier and the thought 'Man, what if Metal Bat was in Kingdom Hearts 3' happened.

No, it's actually a thick layer of moss. The fact that it isn't limited to a single side of his head is a visual indication of his complete lack of sense of direction.

Murata wasn't jokin' when he said he'd work to make S2 possible, cause here's the next chapter already!

In Korean, for my good friend Stairmaster..

The sequence of Metal Bat hitting the manhole lid and then pushing Garou in its path was loving sick!!!!

Also, the last panel says "Big brother!!!" so I guess we're gonna see a Metal Bat power up!


Also the dialogue is loving awesome.

"You gonna keep swinging that bat till you're dead?"
"Till I die? That's optimistic. I ain't that soft. It's until I win."


I fuckin' love Metal Bat, yo.

I believe some types of Ad Blocks won't work on it. I'm currently using uBlock Origin with no problem, and I used to use AdBlock Plus with no problems.

Think AdBlock itself clashed with the site from my experience at an internet cafe.

Metal Bat is the poo poo. Good chapter.

Hopefully that sister calling out his name, gives him a super sayian resurgence and he breaks Garou's skull in.

My prediction is that Metal Bat becomes hella strong, kills Elder Centipede in one blow, and the resulting shockwave blows Garou away. Metal Bat then faints from his injuries.

It's been my theory for a few weeks now.

Unfortunately, in order to preserve Garou's reign of terror this is probably the only route available. Minor deviation would be Garou continuing to walk away while Metal Bat's sister weeps over his unconscious body. Then the Centipede shows up getting her to scream triggering Metal Bat into a berserk state. He would have to beat the Centipede while Garou is also nowhere near because Garou needs to keep having a low opinion of heroes for later things.

Metal Bat is not just some hot-blooded idiot. :stonk: I thought the pages were out of place, but Metal Bat knew where the sewer lid was going to ricochet and grabbed Garou to place him in position where the lid was headed.

Yeah, given that Metal Bat was smart enough to attempt to capture the second wave of monsters (before getting backed in a corner and having to muster up his will again), he's actually more than just a meathead.

I think Garou was more referring to how Metal Bat's not trained in any fighting style, so he couldn't do anything more than tank Garou's attacks until he fell.

Oh, no, yeah, I get what Garou's talkin' about. It applies to a lot of heroes. Hell, it got brought up in the Boros fight. Most heroes pretty much are good at once thing and pretty much focus solely on that. Hell, even Saitama is like that, only on a far grander scale. Given that Tank Top Master has claimed that he only really needed a single strike to take down a monster, most of them are just too strong to have had to think up anything else. They're good against fighting tough monsters who are more about trading blows, and less against people like Garou (or Sonic) who have technique and speed. Anti-monster, not anti-person, and whatnot.

Pri Pri Prisoners, Tank Top Master, and Metal Bat pretty much just rely on pure power to destroy things.
Atomic Samurai is pretty much the same, I guess.
Bang at least has the presence to use martial arts to deflect / dodge stuff. I guess Sonic is a bit like this too, only on a lesser scale.

From what we've seen in Murata's comic, Genos and Tatsumaki are the only ones to do more than a single thing; Tatsumaki can do a ton of poo poo with her abilities and Genos has his incinerator blast as well as his hand-to-hand combat.

The only S-Ranks who can fight against airborne opponents (from what we've seen) are Genos, Tatsumaki, and Metal Knight. Two cyborgs / robots and a psychic.

Given a sufficient supply of manhole covers, we can probably put Metal Bat on that list.

if metal bat teamed up with golden ball they would be unstoppable. Golden ball pitches with his sling shot and then metal bat bats 'em back, doubling or even tripling their speed and power
