No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.

how the gently caress did he dial marge.

There's some emergency response people there getting ready to cut off his arms, they probably dialed it for him.

Whoa. That's certainly new. With Blast actually showing up maybe the people guessing the Murata version ends this arc are right.

Hey do you want that motherboard?
Eh it doesn't actually seem that different. The cadres are just now reaching the surface. Orochi is (hopefully finally) killed and psychkosis used orochis built in ejection seat. We (thankfully hopefully) aren't immediately introducing a new super monster to fight right now. Saitama and Flash are getting a slow teleport to the surface. The hero's are slowly reverting back to bickering.
Telepathy box and Blast showing up are completely new but don't actually directly impact any events between the webcomic and the redraw, just some big foreshadowing. The biggest differences are still the same as they were 2 comics ago which are where all the heroes are currently located. In the webcomic most of them were still underground at this point with just a few fighting on the surface.

I was hoping for a reaction from Saitama when Blast brushed off Flashy's test, but I guess he saw nothing special to him at the moment. "Does he attack everyone he meets?" was a gut-buster, though.

Yeah, I think this is probably the biggest indicator that while Blast is strong compared to Flashy Flash and other hero's, he's still just another person compared to Saitama.

After seeing the translation, you're right. Blast showing up is cool but he immediately left again so the rest of the arc could be practically the same.

I guess the interesting thing is that I don't remember those cubes from the ONE version at all.

Yea, I think the cubes are totally new but seem to be a plot device that connects back to Homeless Emperor's God which isn't new. Getting a peek at Blast's Hobby/motivation is totally new and interesting.

Not sure if that's a spoiler or not, too much witting and re-writing has gotten me confused.

It's great and I'm enjoying the redraw more than ever. Still waiting for one more thing to happen and then I won't be tempted to be a smug shithead webcomic reader hinting at things anymore

In addition to to Blast, this chapter had a sweet friendship between Zombieman and Child Emperor in addition Saitama continuing to be a clueless idiot, which are my favorite things in OPM. It is terrible they're making this literal child be in charge though.

My guess is it's the undergrounders or whatever they were called from early in the manga. The ones that Saitama had dreams of actually being a decent fight and only being disappointed when he actually woke up.

The VIZ simulpub is not nearly as far behind as it once was. So you could probably start there if you have a sub and then hunt around here for links to the fan translation to fill the gap.

e: just checked and it's only like 2-3 chapters behind the scanlators.

Going back to older pages and guessing which chapter is being posted doesn't seem like a great system.

You could probably try searching on the OPM subreddit by chapter number.

So I'm trying to get a read on just how good of a guy blast is. The moment when he asked about having a monster with them that wasn't a prisoner, and if he was ignoring Saitama on purpose or if he truly has no idea who he is.

That loving look between Manako and Saitama.

Boros is a DBZ villain, of course he can scan for power levels.

He HAS to be dead at this point, right? Like, I feel like Murata went to great pains showing him being ground into dust, right before being plunged into Earth's molten core...

Also, my God, they killed Zombieman!!!! ONE you son of a bitch!!!

...But in all seriousness, I'm so pumped to see the Cadres emerging. I have to think things are going to move along quickly now, since its unlikely we'll see Saitama again before he's at the surface to join the fight.

The rule of cool. We have to give all the S-class their amazing lovingly drawn rematch fights before Saitama shows up and one punches the problem sometime next year. Murata can literally not help himself.
Also because Blast said that time was moving really slow wherever Flashy Flash and Saitama are.

"He's fine. He's a flashlight!"




Blast ignoring Saitama could mean he doesn't detect Saitama's true power. What we do know is that Saitama wasn't impressed by Blast moving behind Flashy Flash since he comments on Flashy's attack and not on Blast's speed.
