I don't get why anyone would do thirsty Fubuki fan drawings.

That's competing with Murata's thirsty Fubuki fan drawings, and that's not a fight you can win.

They don't really. It's mostly a lot of bad colorizations of the same pictures and some "original" art that's so referenced they might as well have traced it.

I get the temptation to discuss how the manga is different from the webcomic in the manga thread, but maybe it makes more sense in the webcomic thread. Is this kind of comparing going on in the anime thread too?

It also does kind of pull me out of the story or something being constantly told that this version is ~different~. Obviously the redraws don't help either. Maybe that's just me, I don't know.

Honestly I keep most of my comparison thoughts in the webcomic thread, if I have criticisms about the Murata version then fundamentally they're about the Murata version. That said, I don't recall having made too many direct comparisons in a long time.

It's just kind of funny seeing people hype up the chapter that orochi finally gets splatted as "hah, this looked badass, that'll show the naysayers what for!" when the pacing had kind of dulled whatever emotional stakes might've gone in. So the only real reaction I had was, nice art, glad to see the fight ended with a bang, love to see a cute saitama and monaco gag. I think for the readers whose enthusiasm for the murata version had faded, it basically comes to the recent chapters (past year or so, maybe a bit more) lacking some of the emotional core, the heart, that the rest of ONE's works specializes in. It's not like webcomic readers were excited for the Garou arc because of the fights, have you seen ONE's art? ONE and Murata are having fun here, and I'm not going to take that away from them, but the drama of the story is currently dipping and I'm just waiting for some stakes to be re-established.

Hell, One Piece is arguably the best shonen manga of all time precisely because it's so good at establishing those emotional stakes, getting people invested, and then paying it off. Even the weaker arcs had some form of character drama at its heart, and fights are essentially just how the drama gets resolved. And those weaker arcs, again, are usually due to the pacing getting caught up in cool fights instead of progressing the drama at the heart of those fights. It's why Dressrosa turned into kind of a slog compared to how Whole Cake Island turned into a compelling character study for Sanji, or how Zou's big twist and payoff was enough to bring readers to tears, and now Wano is deeply rousing and incredibly hype despite Oda's art not being on the level of a Murata masterwork.

A few pages of Luffy and some bros managing to stand up to two Emperors got me more excited and psyched up than a few dozen pages of, admittedly gorgeous, Murata art. That's what it's about.

Just treat this version as separate from the webcomic, at this point. It's really tiring to hear any discussion of what is currently going on in the manga drowned by "BUT THE WEBCOMIC". The webcomic hasn't been canceled, it's still out there. It's totally fine for the story to have two different forks and interpretation and to prefer one, but it's not particularly critically useful to shut down interpretations of one based on the fact that they don't seem to fit the other.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy exists as a radio series, TV series, novel series, video game, and movie. Each has a unique plot, story elements, and sense of humor. Douglas Adams himself either wrote or was on board for the parts unique to each telling of the story, including things introduced for the movie which was actually filmed after his death. They're all valid tellings of the story, just different tellings. I figure this is the same deal.

Doesn't it go so far that ONE even does some light storyboarding for the manga? Clearly nothing is going to happen in it that he doesn't directly approve of.

Perpetually a Pain.
ONE is the writer of the manga. He does storyboards for the manga. He lets Murata jazz it up here and there, because he trusts and respects his partner, but nothing Murata comes up with is unapproved by ONE before it's published.

All these bizarre conspiracy theories that 'Murata is the one responsible for everything in the manga, he's ruining ONE's work' (as an example of the extreme end of the 'Murata is responsible for any deviations between the webcomic and the manga' posts on the internet) are so...eh. I just don't get it. It's weird. ONE is as responsible for what you see in the manga as Murata is, and he's clearly fine with Murata's perfectionism in all the redraws, too, because I doubt Murata would be doing them without ONE's consent.

There such a large disconnect in the presentation and pacing between the opm manga and the rest of ONEs work its easy to come to that particular (false) conclusion.

However: something did change right before the tournament arc. That point is where the paneling and pacing changed dramatically, and for the worse. If you compare the manga prior to that its a much better comic. current stuff is very pretty but lacks the flow and punch of the first half.

I mean Murata's habit of going back and redrawing his own redraws is kind of ruining the pacing a little bit but that's only from our current perspective of waiting for them to come out it'll more or less be fine once it's really done

I'd understand it if Murata was working very slowly but the man puts in insane amounts of work. Taking a few weeks to redraw something isn't that big of a delay.

That bonus chapter really helped Pig God's characterization a lot. I don't think we had a lot about him beyond how he liked to eat, but seeing he's a nice guy like that makes me like him a lot more.

I legit think Pig God might just be the nicest Hero so far. Yes, even Mumen Rider.

He doesn't say anything bad, he's clearly designed around someone who'd be shunned, he doesn't talk about his philosophy, he just goes and does his duty as a hero. It's such a nice character in the roster.

Yeah, I have to say, I know lots of people aren't into the redraws since it takes away from the momentum of the story, but I see this redraw as a pretty great improvement. I think it does way more to sell the threat of Evil Natural Water (which is shown to be a pretty terrifying monster here), and I actually kind of liked the mercenary redemption.

I believe right after this chapter Saitama is supposed to fight Orochi. I'm very curious to see if any part of it also get's redrawn. From how things left off, I don't think it's necessary at this point.

The little arrow pointing out Flashy Flash's sword in the panel with the giant lair being pulled into the air after it was revealed he was just holding on to it and his arm wasn't trapped in the rocks were two solid Simpsons jokes.
