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.

Well, you got farther than I did.

Blast is furious because Bomb got all the dominant genes and he only got the inferior recessive genes.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
Meanwhile Bomb is also furious because while he has a pretty cool Iron Hurricane Fist style, Blast has the far superior 'One Punch And Then It's Lunch' style.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is Blast? This is Blast speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are perishing—you who dread knowledge—I am the man who will now tell you:

Blast is just this guy, you know?

Grandpa Josuke you think everything is a stand. You think the Toaster is a Stand. You think that superior German Engineering is a Stand. Speed of Sound Sonic? Stand. Tank tops? Stands. You thought that I was a stand when I popped out of mom! You need an intervention! NOT EVERYTHING IS A STAND!

Someone deeply involved with Shin Megami Tensei is bros with Araki, so it's kind of like an approved knock-off of the concept.

They're all just lucky that Elder Centipede didn't shed a tanktop onto itself or they would've been totally hosed.

Murata is so good at conveying force. Look at those shockwaves, look at that impact :allears:

So many other comic book artists look like trash compared to his stuff

Murata's so talented as an artist that he made a manga about American football more visually impressive and engaging than most other shonen manga at the time. Not that the writing was bad or anything, but the art is what really made it stand out.

Eyeshield 21. Murata's improved a lot since then but it's still very good.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say the art was what truly sold the comic though, since the last arc changed writers but kept Murata and it was real bad,

I didn't know that the writer changed for the end. It was pretty bad, but the art still stayed pretty great.

Oh yeah art-wise it was still excellent but it shows that the writing was just as important to making the comic stand out.

I guess that is more the ending than the last arc. You're right that part is pretty good, it just feels like a kind of a gently caress you to the characters after the last arc and NEVER AS GOOD AS THIS BLACK GUY, BECAUSE HE IS BLACK, NOT BECAUSE HE AS AN INDIVIDUAL IS MORE HARD WORKING OR ANYTHING, NOPE, IT'S BECAUSE HE'S BLACK

Pretty unexpected, what they did with Garou.

I did not expect them to cast Mayumi Shintani.
