The best bit was clearly the kick. Saitama just sliding along the ground, looking down at the beaten up guy he's now next to.

Combined with the monster ranting about the unimaginable difference in power.

I think these 2 things are basically linked. We had our braggart villain who assumed that his newfound monster power would make him stronger than any human. It was important for Suiryu to see Saitama take him down, since that was the monster that beat him. Saitama beating the monster that beat the monster was just extra, I guess to show Suiryu just how strong people can be. It didn't need to be shown because it wasn't as important.

I'm glad we're getting more pages at a time these days. Dare I hope for a quicker, or at least more consistent, release schedule?

I wonder if ONE makes storyboards for these entirely new chapters. That's what the writer guy did in Bakuman so I imagine that's how most writers do it in the industry. Would be cool to see.

He does. Murata shows them off on the stream sometimes. That's why they're delayed sometimes, because ONE sometimes withholds sending them to Murata for various reasons.

If you ask around on the 4chan OPM threads you'll get some examples. They're golden.

Yeah, they're really good and often Murata doesn't change from the storyboard at all because ONE's just that good at setting the scene.

Crimson Chin actually sounds like it could be the name of a hero in the association. Probably a high B rank, maybe a low A.

most of the time ONE shows himself to be a very sensitive and empathetic writer, it's weird that he doesn't seem to get or care about how his portrayal of PPP scans.

This isn't unique to ONE, that attitude pretty common in Japan/Anime. I guess I'd call it Non-Hateful Ignorance?
