Our boy Sonic is back!

Very good chapter, and always a treat to get a proper ONE Tatsumaki. Good manga.

Tatsumaki squaring up to Saitama was delightful :3:

Was thrilled to see Sonic, then we got a King segment too. So far this is completely surpassing my expectations for this arc, which were very high!

Goddamn, Tatsumaki's expression after Saitama tells her to go all out. She's just so delighted.

Glad Murata managed one image of Tatsu actually lookin kinda scary.

Very similar content but very different vibes from the original arc but that's to be expected by now. Solid stuff.

The big differences are mainly just in the setup and Tatsu's attitude. In the original she's having a lot less fun with the fight, instead of being smug and excited to throw down she's more angry and kinda scary. Still mostly in a funny way because she's still goofy and arrogant and can't actually hurt Saitama (90% of the jokes during the fight are basically one for one recreations) but she mostly just wants to knock this dude out and be done with it and is super frustrated that ain't happening. Lot more shots of Tatsu looking pretty intimidating during the fight, but that's never really been Murata's style with her.

And the difference with the setup is that the stuff in this chapter's flashback about Tatsu being overprotective of Fubuki due to trauma and that putting a distance between them is the main focus of the arc from the beginning. The fight starts in the webcomic due to Tatsu accusing Fubuki's groupies of making her weak and Saitama stepping in to try and de-escalate, a bit more serioues than Tatsu being mad about his mysterious relationship with her sister. There's a bit more focus on the emotional arc and it's done really well imo.

Compared to the previous arc, where the general plot beats were followed but otherwise the whole thing was pretty different, the stuff here is real similar so its fun to see what did get changed and how that impacts the stuff that was otherwise basically the same.

I love saitama’s stupid face looking at her when she opens her eyes. Just such a dramatic moment … with his dumb face on it.

All it needed was a thirst shot of King for it to be a perfect chapter.

She thinks extremely highly of him. Her facial expression becomes relieved when she sees him and she says something nice.

Frankly I would hope Tatsumaki would still think highly of King even if she found out he didn't do all the things he was reported to do. Like sure, she would probably have a moment of disgust and whinging, but then she would remember all the times King was facing down horrifying monsters and HE WAS JUST A NORMAL DUDE.

Mumen Rider will throw his bike at an unspeakable creature of the depths, King will just keep his poker face going buying time.

It's sorta like with PG13 movies, you only get to use one 'gently caress', so you gotta make it count.
