yeah, I was wondering how “Genos does the smart thing of telling everyone Saitama’s a god” was gonna play out and it turns out he just bored everyone to tears giving them a long winded play-by-play of the fight extolling his virtues. Goddamn, it’s like he hasn’t learned anything from his apprenticeship, smdh

The Genos character arc is him switching hyperfixations from his own tragic backstory to how cool Saitama is. He never actually learned how to tone it down.

I was wondering if maybe the footage of Saitama was caught by cameras on the drones, themselves, that only MK has access to. Or maybe Saitama destroyed them so fast that it wasn't captured on video, and MK is just putting 2 and 2 together.

Either way, this stuck out for me as well.

From what I can see, his actual deal is that he's smart enough to realize monsters destroying the world is bad, because that's where he stores all his stuff, so he makes super robots to fight them. But he's also kind of immoral and occasionally amoral at best, not really THAT concerned with your average human life, and keen on making a buck out of doing what he might do otherwise.

In other words, perfect S class material.

Boifos / Metal Knight is just Doctor Wily from Megaman and that's why Engine Knight was telling Genos to be careful.

Because Engine Knight, who flex walked out of the Monster Association fight, is Protoman.

Lol I was just about to say. Why is a guy who makes absolutely horrible porn and also is an obnoxious rear end with a permanent rage boner at Murata for "ruining" ONE's vision allowed to have anything to do with the IP? Couldn't they get someone who's not a terminal clown? I'm sure he's already declared the franchise dead to him outside the webcomic anyway.

Chapter was good btw. I'm glad OPM the manga is getting more back on track since I'll be honest: that last arc was really testing my patience sometimes. The resolution was great but the middle part just dragged too much and I dunno what caused that. It's like they were stalling for time but there's no anime currently airing and the webcomic still hasn't returned and ONE has been busy with MP100 III and apparently a new manga anyway. And it's not like I'm particularly loyal to the webcomic either, I like it a lot but it's not some untouchable masterpiece that shouldn't be altered if remade in manga form. But this poo poo so far has been golden.

I remember there being a post from Murata that people misread as the manga ending when he meant to say that the Garou arc is ending soon

https://twitter.com/NEBU_KURO/status/1544819500004294657

Because it seems that 'ending' is more generally used to say 'arc' over there in Japan.

Quoting this from a Japanese reader.

quote:

oh yeah japanese fanbase is chilling rn no mention whatsoever about series ending only western side that assblasted for no reason right now or ONE himself addressing on his Twitter he always announce super important stuff like Volume release and yet here we are no series ending announcement. Its smurf spreading misinformation again why he getting away doing this scoot free? poo poo actually stupid

Japanese reader here. I've literally never heard any manga artist use シリーズ (direct translation: "series") to mean "serialization/publication." Never. And I've been reading manga since I was a kid decades ago.

Artists would use 連載 (rensai = serialization) when talking about the series. And use different variations depending on the context like 完結 (Kanketsu = complete work/to finish the current work), 休載 (kyuusai = break), 打ち切り (uchikiri = axed) etc.

"Series" in the context of English is not the same in Japanese. It's more akin to an "arc" in this context.

Edit: this is why it's not being talked about in Japan because people are thinking the end is near for the current Garou arc rather than the whole series.

someone on reddit addressing that. I swear i always questioning about opm fanbase intelligence why they actually fall for this deception

But aside from consistently having criticisms over the manga's differences compared to the webcomic- which isn't even different from the webcomic thread as the monster raid progressed- I don't remember horny OPM fan artist (And to be honest, either you're one or the other, a Fubuki or Genos style fan artist) ever trying to say that it was ending?

Out of curiosity why has Saitama been promoted to the A class anyway? We as the viewers are aware why, but I don't see how MHA's viewpoint would lead to that conclusion.

This is what I assume they see.

- B class accidentally wanders into operational restricted area.
- He does not die.
- He "assists" S class Flashy Flash in scouting the enemy headquarters.
- He brings back Intel of Blast and the cube.
- He is part of final Garou encounter and one of the few still standing.
- He is vouched for by Flashy Flash, King and Genos.


I can see him going up a few ranks but not an entirely new class (unless I misremember and he was like Class B Rank 3 or something). Unless there were a lot of class A deaths / retirements, I don't know how Saitama could have jumped so far ahead.

I know I'm overthinking this but still wanted to ask.

My read is that Genos gave a 4 hour lecture, with a dozen books of collected notes, on how Saitama is the strongest being in the universe. While the execs may be weary of the details, they aren't willing to completely disregard the testimony of one of their top heroes.

Sweet Mask is involved in decisions for hero promotions, and it looks like he heard enough to take a shot at it.

Also, Saitama being promoted to A Class means he can move into HQ where people can keep a closer eye on him

He participated and survived in an event big enough to get him promoted to S class, and we all know that he isn't S class due to bureaucracy. Most heroes present there probably agree he's S-Class or above, and I imagine they gave them testimonies. It'd be weirder if he wasn't promoted, I assume he wasn't promoted to S straight away for 1) the joke 2) his sheet has a lot of inconsistencies and he's been accused of fraud in the past so the powers that be likely have no idea how to deal with that due to incompetence and bureaucracy.
