HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

King stepping up to stall is actually pretty loving ballsy. Dude knows he's dead as soon as anyone tries to kill him but he's still making a distraction.

This is why i love this manga and why mumen rider and king are the goats - they just do the right thing even though 1. they know its dangerous 2. in kings case he really doesnt even want to

Characters overanalyzing and freaking themselves out over the simplest of King's comments will never get old to me.

It is genuinely my favorite bit in the manga. This was a great chapter.

I would almost include Genos too. Obviously way different power level, but he regularly gets trashed but is always stepping in to help. Most recently to Tatsumaki who is frankly rude to him.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
This is why us webcomic readers have been antsy for years now. It was all so loving worth it. I lvoe you king

Thanks so much for posting this!

The latest chapter was amazing! But the whole process is so confounding to me. Like, they released chapter 151, and then, I guess, ONE decided "oh wait, we need Evil Natural Water to come back!"

Honestly, following this story in real time is so bizarre, but I really love it. I don't know if there has been another story like this, where people get to follow the live updates and where the narrative is tweaked and refined in real time, and the different versions (anime, manga, webcomic) add unique layers to the overall lore.

I assume that move is based on collapsing star cannon. That the other heroes saw collapsing star cannon during the Boros arc and assumed that must be one of King's special attacks.

gently caress yeah I think we're finally going to see King go wild. The whole gag about him being weak has been funny but I've been patiently waiting for him to show his true power.

As webcomic readers no doubt already know, the moment when King finally fires the Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon is the fireworks factory

Yeah, the moment when King transforms and turns out to actually be the strongest is so cool. Then when he fights Saitama for real instead of in a videogame is just the *chefs kiss* cherry on top

The fact the chapter starts with but these guys are different, they're invigorated and enthusiastic about facing King! only to immediately lead to them starting to second-guess themselves and convince themselves King is toying with them is just fantastic stuff :allears:

I want to give some respect to Child Emperor too, even though he doesn't have much to offer in the fight at this point I love that he's constantly trying to come up with strategies. I even like his little lady bug comms system!

As far I can remember the series has not shown a single romantic relationship. And maybe only 3 characters who have ever expressed even an inclination to having romantic desires: the female Whip monster, Puri Puri Prisoner, and that one sword disciple. None of the cases are examples of healthy feelings...

Edit: oh, also Suiryu and young Bang seemed to want to hit on ladies...

Saying a 19 year old girl who recently graduated high school and a 28 year old man who may be solidly in his career of choice have the same level of maturity is absurd. This would apply regardless of gender.

The circumstances for Genos and Tatsumaki are of course very different, but there is an age gap in terms of life experience that makes it just as skeevy as pairing Genos (19) with Lily (14). Focusing on them both being "legal age" misses the point of why an age gap can be a red flag.

And yeah, OPM isn't really a shipping series (ONE in general doesn't seem to have much a focus on shippy romantic stuff).

Yes but this is anime/manga we're talking about, a genre that gave us the "it's OK, she's actually a 1000 year old dragon" argument and a truckload of stories that are about creepy teacher-student relationships.

I'm grading on a pretty steep curve here.

Tatsumaki will go right back to cratering Genos in a wall in 16 chapters/11 years anyway, so I don't think you really need to worry about the hypotheticals of them dating that much.

There is no prerequisite requirement to make sure both adults have the same "level of maturity" beforehand afaik. They only need to be adults
