That's some masterful Reigen-style spin.


...well? What's your complaint with it?

I mean, that's from the anime, and the anime is perfection. So, I don't have one, I guess. :shrug:

Maybe I just found ONE's earlier work more touching:

personally, i really like bone's adaptation of one's style for the MP100 anime, but i'm not super hot on one's actual, original manga art (i bounced off of the MP100 manga before the anime aired and i think it's about 70% for this reason)

he's obviously very skilled at composition and writing and i love both of the animes based off his work, as well as murata's redraw as a result, but i have very little interest in reading his original work

this is why i'm here in the murata manga thread instead of the one webcomic thread

The original post was correct too. Mob's consistent and has a unique style that's on point as gently caress.

Wasnt mumen rider taking credit for some of saitama's kills before king was introduced too

Blast almost definitely isn't saitama tho, I imagine that if he was the elder centipede fight might be made that a bit more clear

So, Blast is Saitama before he lost his hair, from when he saved the cleft-chin kid, right? And because of him the hero association was formed? Seems consistent with how his hair looked then and also some maybe exaggeration from the kid he saved? That's the only thing I can think of which explains the fact that Blast is nowhere to be seen, isn't heard from destroying any monsters etc. It's also kinda hilarious that Saitama while being the strongest hero is also a nobody loser who is also the strongest rated hero of the association but he doesn't know that and neither does the hero association. It's dumb enough that it has to be true.

Only thing is that the name doesn't really make sense, because "blast"? Blast what? Saitama didn't use any explosions against the crab.

Blast has been doing hero work long before Saitama ever started doing his training regiment, they are separate people

I'm not going to talk up MP100's art but I am going to say that the anime is surprisingly good-looking, the animators seemed to have a lot of fun with that one.

A lot of that's because they could do more motion on the same time/budget because the style doesn't have a million lines per frame so they made the whole show more dynamic.

Before the story ends Saitama is going to have to find someone just as strong as he is, and its probably going to be Blast.

I dont really want it to happen though because once Saitama meets someone as strong or stronger than him it means the storys probably about to end

The series'll end once Saitama finds a nice woman to step on him.

Multiple S class heroes and members of the HA absolutely think King is the strongest man on Earth, they're not exactly a great reference.

Blast's origin is really obvious. He's the opposite of Saitama. He was strong from birth.

Still what? I honestly don't know what you're inferring, things go over my head all the time. This just seems like a real childhood friend/love interest free manga to me. Saitama pines for getting his hair back but I think that's about all he's got so far.

I didn't really have a ton of meaning behind it. Was initially riding the fact that murata likes fubuki a lot and just ran out of steam to make things funny.
