Man, I really should keep up with this series more closely. Tatsumaki turning the base inside out needs to be hung up in the Louvre. Also, the last chapter was good and chill, but also hype with all the warriors converging onto Psykos's location.

If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

Yeah, but only two can join Tatsumaki in battle. The others have to sit in the menu.

Homestuck is a true work of art surpassing all of Shakespeare's works.
Murata has delved deep into the back catalogue to update an old chapter (Handsome Face vs the Mercs and Do-S) for reasons known only to himself. Enjoy the game of spot the difference.

Wow that's a massive change, and honestly an outright improvement to the old version? Much quicker fight, the mercs don't die thanks to Iaian and Bushi-Drill's help, and Sweet Mask remains extremely brutal and that eye injury thing is both terrifying and awesome.

Not sure how I feel about Murata straight up retconning older chapters but I guess that is a better look at Sweet Mask’s character than the original.

I get the continuity they want to maintain given recent events in the webcomic. But toning down Sweet Mask's insanity doesn't sit well with me. The guy still remains an extremist with a binary view on the world but saving Waifus was probably more important than letting him occupy a more gray area of heroics.

Yeah this is probably the first time I straight up do not like a change. Sweet Mask was more interesting as a bigger rear end in a top hat.

Saving waifus? Also this isn't really toning down his insanity at all, he was still planning on killing the brainwashed humans. And he even considered killing the sword trio.

I don't really have an opinion about which version is "better", but I just find it all so... baffling. Why change it so that the mercs don't get killed, when this has implications on a bunch of stuff that happens in subsequent chapters. Does Murata now have to draw a scene with the disciples bringing the mercs up to the surface? What happens to the conversation between Tatsumaki and Sweet Mask?

It's one thing to be a perfectionist and to change up the art in previous chapters, but changing the story is kind of insane. We already had the manga as a retelling of the web comic; now we have alternate versions of the manga that have different levels of connection to the web comic...

It also begs the question for me: where does the official version of this manga "exist"? Aren't there printed volumes for which changing these chapters would be impossible.

I just don't get any of this...

Yeah once the chapter is printed it's official. These chapters haven't been released in a volume yet though.

The two female mercanaries? The one who wants Sweet Mask to sign her shirt and the other one, both have shown up in later splash pages.

The difference between showing us him actually doing it and changing it to just him getting ready too is pretty wide. I know I asked myself how many humans Sweet Mask has killed in the name of justice after the first pass on chapter 103. I don't think there's anything structurally wrong with the re-write. Everything works they just need to re-add the page relating to Pig God. But I'm not entirely pleased that they softballed Sweet Mask's actions just to make him more palatable down the line for his redemption arc

reading through Garous article on the OPM wiki is like reading about something dreamt up by a 10 year old.

Garou is super fast and tough and doesn't feel pain and has really fast reflexes. even if he does get knocked out he can still fight, and he can dodge things just by instinct, and...

just on and on, it's kind of funny

Ngl that reads more like a stock shonen protagonist, which is probably very much the point.

Also it works out because you don’t even need to read the ONE version to know that Garou’s growing list of eclectic techniques and abilities is just the ONE version of a lead up to a joke. :v:
