Might also be that whoever took them from the site for scanlation didn't fullscreen the images, just took screenshots of the browser and cut the image out or something equally silly.

Nah, it's the same on the viewer in Japanese.

One Punch Man has turned into a comedy series about a bunch of straight man shonen stereotypes with no punch line. All these self-serious idiots need to get one-punched.

Even if this part is dragging, basically everything but the Genoa fight ends up being super relevant to what's coming up later. Almost to the point that it's weirder that we never got the Metal Bat fight in the ONE version.

Agreed, it kind of feels like it's going to be abandoned. I guess he is focusing on the Anime

Yeah, and the releases will probably go back to normal once Muruta can just use preexisting ONE chapters as a basis for chapter layouts instead of doing a entire arc of new stuff.

Yes, the ONE version is ahead, but either they want to create a buffer or seeing as a lot of this is supposed to tie into future stuff, maybe they wanted to fill in some blanks. ONE is, in fact, writing this material, but this material did not appear in the original webcomic version.

Davinci
Feb 21, 2013
Yes. The ONE version is both ongoing, and also much further ahead of where we are now. The Metal Bat fight and tournament arc Murata is producing currently is an original sequence of chapters that was not in the original ONE version.

It's half reinforcing certain facts that were known but hadn't been too deeply explored, such as Genos being a legitimately strong hero (despite Saitama showing him up), the relationship between the martial arts world and the heroes association, how different heroes of different rank compare with each other, and half to set up the next arc, what with the sudden increase in monster attacks and monster strength, and the heroes association being streatched dangerously thin.

It's kind of going in a lot of directions at once, which is something of a weakness. While it's cool to see Genos actual win some fights, we kind of already understood that there was some relationship between martial artists and the heroes association, and the tournament doesn't really tell us much more besides confirming that, yes, sucha relationship exists. The same is kind of true with the Fukuki Tatsumaki stuff. We already knew they had a hosed up relationship, and the new chapter doesn't really tell us anything new.

I hope there's more payoff aside from the promise that the next arc will be better.

Depending on how you divide things, ONE's version is two or three storylines ahead.

I promise you, the future is tremendously baller.

The important thing to note is that ONE is a very skilled artist from a pure technical standpoint, his panel layouts are pretty much 1:1 to the redraw. Which is probably slowing up the pace of releases some, since there's probably a lot more back and forth on the collaboration on the chapters for 100% new stuff.

What's to come is so good, and the updates are so short and infrequent that it's souring the Murata manga for me a bit.

It occurred to me that the reason we're getting so much extra character stuff now is probably because the next arc is so tightly paced that they wouldn't be able to fit any extra stuff in once it gets started. Anything ONE wants to add has to get in now, or be put on hold for quite a while.

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
Murata has said that ONE sometimes makes him do scenes over if he's not satisfied with them so that might be the reason for the slow chapters.

The image of ONE telling Murata that something isn't drawn well enough is humourous to me.

its funnier if he's known to be a really strong hero but never ever gets the opportunity to show it because saitama is too overpowered

Honestly, I don't even think that's true. Like the Metal Bat stuff was fine, I guess, but not only does a lot of this poo poo not add to the story some of it subtracts from story beats that come later. It's actively making some things worse for existing. Writing a story is hard, and going back years later and trying to add new material into the flow of a story is exponentially harder.

Would you mind popping into the ONE version thread for a bit to explain why you think it's making things worse? I'm genuinely curious.

I think that's only really possible to say when we have the finished article ready and waiting to be read, at least the entirety of this arc finished. The Metal Bat stuff was great, well written, well drawn and very entertaining, it explains a thing or two we've not seen in Murata's version yet and as a whole, was a worthwhile sojourn.

There's nothing we're really gaining so far from a tournament arc with Saitama while Fubuki and Genos struggle with monsters and Tatsumaki proves her dominance. Those are things we already know about those three. Fubuki's good, but not Tatsumaki good, Genos is good, but he's not extremely good. This chapter too does help set things up later on, but it's far less key than the MB thing.
