I'm extremely confused, it looks like they redrew the latest chapter to make Saitama less sympathetic which pushed Garou towards "God"

I wonder if its some kind of meta time travel type thing where "God" literally influenced the comic itself?? This is dumb I'm dumb.

Visuals are really cool but yeah, much confusion right now.

Edit: Yeah, in this version Saitama seemingly "mocks" him by using only one hand to fight, then Garou see's him differently after being put in the water before the final punch of the battle

Yeah, the visuals are nice, but Saitama sitting down with Garou to talk it out was hundred times better than this.

I would genuinely love it if that one poster is correct and "God" has been warping reality and changing the plot to suit its own needs. I would absolutely love an in universe explanation for the redraws.

i am gonna take a guess that we're still gonna get to Garou and Saitama sitting and chatting... only now there'll be more filler in between. which is annoying because i really wanted the plot to progress...

If we’re getting God vs Saitama already does that mean OPM is ending?

For what it's worth, I also think the previous version was better, I'm just saying I would launch out of my seat if it turns out the redraws are canon.

I don't think I've stopped to think on it much but I think this might be the only ongoing series I've ever followed that will go back and actively retcon the story even to the point of totally changing what happened just a chapter ago. I've not even read like fanfiction or other very informal works that's done it like that where I need to understand that multiple pivotal events could have been altered and I don't notice and get really confused later like the stuff with the mercenaries.

It's weird, I guess.

I'm going to quote this from the other thread because I think it actually should be posted here:

I think the issue is that people are thinking the online chapters are the final releases, when they're not. It's the tankobon releases that are the final version. We're not getting the final product, we're getting the rough drafts. They're highly polished rough drafts, but they're still up for being completely reworked on a whim.

Yeah, it's actually really neat to see a manga getting revised. I wish we got author's notes alongside them.

Anyway, I actually like this version of the chapter better because God and Blast's gang are the most interesting new things in the manga version, and it doesn't preclude ending up the way the first version did after a longer and cooler fight.

Saitama's gonna Neo dive inside of Garou and go fight God before he comes back to talk to Garou (spoilers, oops we already know about the table 2 years early)

it's definitely this. if you notice the way the moon is framed at the ending of the previous and in the middle of this one, it's meant to look like an eyeball.

I never had any doubt that Garou would be seduced or manipulated by God to increase the stakes of the fight. It's just surprising to me that ONE had such a significant change of mind right after creating the plot point of Saitama sitting down with Garou for a chat in the first iteration.

I do hope we come back to that at some point because I thought it was a cool, unexpected twist for a battle manga to pull.

This isn't the first time a chapter was retconned immediately by the next release. Remember back in the tournament when Saitama was pretending to be Charanko and that former senpai first showed up?

This is highly confusing to me because it seems to be such a big change coming so late that, does it mean ONE and Murata has no idea where the comic is going? Or are they speeding along to a conclusion that was planned before?

I do like the more serious and intimidating tone of this fight now though.

Interesting that it is now Saitama that says 'Something is coming', where in the webcomic it was Garou

Remembering things from the webcomic I can understand the shift but it's sad to lose "Let's just chat" solution. Odds are it'll come back and we're just getting more insane action first.

Even wilder is that Viz published the original chapter as their official release when this one seemingly wasn't even days behind.

e: this looks like it'll be fun, but its no where near as compelling as the original release. Garou just got tricked bad.

Yeah this is such a strange swerve. I gets redrawing to add continuity like they often do but to immediately completely change the story flow is just bizarre. Like did he draw the previous chapter as a joke alternate ending that mistakenly got pushed? There's too much effort involved to make that a simple mistake.

Definitely like the previous version more but then new design is at least visually great.

E: autocorrect

What makes the most sense to me is they were storyboarding for a future chapter and realized they forgot something ("God" influencing Garou, Awakened Garou) and had to redo this chapter.
