I appreciate Saitama and Zombieman both being well, good role models and friends/acquaintances to Child Emperor. They both to an extent listen to his fears and reassure him.

And I really loved Saitama grabbing Phoenixman's arm at the end. It made Child Emperor feel not-invincible without taking away his victory, if that makes sense.

One of things that I love about the Hero Association assault on the MA, is how it lures you into a false sense of security. For quite a while the heroes are absolutely cleaning up: all the stuff on the surface, Flashy Flash vs the two ninjas, Child Emperor vs Pheonix Man, Tatsumaki vs Gyoro Gyoro, and then Saitama vs Rover and Orochi (with lots of Demon-levels ground to dust in between).

It's only around the Atomic Samurai vs Black Sperm fight that things start to take a turn for the worst.

So, probably the only thing I don't like about the redraws is that Saitama sort of takes the win from Child Emperor (or at least takes away some of the life and death stakes). I kind of wish we could have gotten everything we did, just with Saitama distracted during the climax of the Pheonix Man fight.

I think the redraws should have come out after the arc as a whole was done. It's frustrating to be anticipating progress in the story but instead getting minor tweaks to earlier stuff.

So the Child Emperor vs Phoenixman fight got retconned.

Or should I say Penguinman

Is there some Japanese myth or cultural thing here? Bloody Roar also has a character who has both a phoenix and a penguin form. Not sure if it's a coincidence, a reference, the two just working well together, or something else that I'm missing.

Either way, I thought the redraw was funny, though it was a bit odd at times too. It's been a while since I read the original chapters and stuff.

Yes thats the reason why in the original, Phoenix man, the speed bros, the succubus, the gluttony monster and the vampire are all easily chumped in one page to demonstrate how strong the s class Heroes are, and to show how strong the upper level monsters are when they're kicking the s-classes asses. As it stands now, the heroes are fighting tough battles against low level monsters, then getting their asses kicked by even stronger monsters. Makes the kid look like a chump

Flashy Flash took a page and a half, Puri Puri Prisoner was useless when Sea King showed up, Metal Bat couldn't dent Elder Centipede- even Bang and Bomb couldn't do anything to stop it, Metal Knight couldn't stop a meteor and got scrapped immediately into this arc, I don't think Atomic Samurai even took out Black Sperm, and I don't remember Pig God finishing off Gums or Sweet Mask stopping Fuhrer Ugly, and ditto for Zombieman and Homeless Emperor, and the phoenixman fight was like three pages when it first came out anyway.

Elder centipede got killed by garou in the original. Metal Bat was a complete no show for the arc.

However its now almost useless to compare the two timeline wise because the arc is completely and utterly rearranged.

Phoenixman and the cadres are all Dragon class, all the ones that got chumped were Demons. There can be very wide gaps of power between Dragons though. Compare Phoenixman to Boros for example(Yes Boros was only a very strong dragon, he wasn't God class).

The ninjas were both dragon level in their monster form, and I'd say they got chumped by Flash. Also Gyoro Gyoro (though it was just a meat puppet).

Also I've always thought the story was too stingy with the disaster level God label. Can you really say that guys like Black Sperm, Elder Centipede, or especially Boros don't pose the threat of human extinction?

Admittedly it's not clear to me whether monsters having a Disaster Level is always meant to just be an Association classification or information given to the readers (often you see panels appear about a monster's disaster level before the association gets to learn about them?) but if it's the first, then it makes sense to me that they might not always necessarily categorize things correctly based on misconceptions.

Saitama is only a B-class hero after all.

Lt. Lizard

Yeah, the idea that Boros was not a God class is kinda silly to me. Even ignoring everything else he has going for him, his last attack would destroy all life on Earth (if we take him at his word and at that point, there is no reason for him to lie), how exactly does that not count as a "threat of human extinction"?

I can't remember, did anyone other than Saitama even see or hear Boros? How would he even get a class if no one other then Saitama ran into him?

Gyoro Gyoro seems like a bad example to me because he (well, she, but I think the Gyoro Gyoro disguise was meant to be male) faced off against Tatsumaki, who is so absurdly beyond any of the heroes besides Saitama that her having an easy time of things isn't really indicative of anything.

That's what I'm saying, the hero association flies through all the monster den, then starts getting their asses kicked by their real opponents. The kid's real opponent is the evil water, Phoenix man was just supposed to demonstrate how strong he is. But now it's him going all out to stop a joke monster, then getting stomped again by the water monster.

But whatever, I think I'm just mostly upset at the pacing

Just got caught up with One's webcomic.

I'm waiting for what the next "big bad" is going to be after Garou, but the series seems to be following Season 1's formula in that it is serialized but no real over arching enemies.
