Because he's the ultimate C class hero. :colbert:
He's the best there is at stopping muggings and helping old people cross the street.

He just stood up to an S class hero to stop a worthless punk from getting crippled or killed. A punk who had moments ago said he was going to attack Licenceless Rider. And Rider took a punch that had been doubled by a tank top's versitility to do that.

L. R. is absolutely the best C rank hero.

Doesn't matter how many people you've killed before, you're redeemable. Which I guess is a nice sentiment?

If Lord Genome wants to keep the human population under one million, and Simon wants to kill all the beastmen, then Simon isn't the good guy. He's got to do some genuinely heroic things, or it's just pretty people fighting ugly people.

This man speaks with a wisdom of already having made the mistake.

But seriously, I don't plan on reading ahead precisely because of that. I want Murata to take me there.

Murata's version reads differently. If you want a practical example, check out the original version's character poll (or don't, it's got upcoming monsters) and then the new version's. Saitama tops both, as is proper, but slots two through four in the redraw went to the sexiest characters, while in the original they went to more interesting ones.

An otherwise adequate dojinshi slightly ruined by endless closeups of Tatsumaki's shrinkwrapped rear end and two separate monsters who feed on little girls. Minor glimpse at a moment from the end of the current storyline.

Does anyone else find it really loving creepy how everyone just stopped talking about A-City like it never even existed? Like, holy poo poo.

Everyone's in denial about how monsters are clearly going to exterminate all life on earth. They're showing up more and more often, a space shuttle full of aliens showed up to destroy a city, super crime is on the rise. You can admit how awful everything is, but most people are just gonna say, "The heroes have got it!" or start donating heavily at the church.

It's made more bearable by the fact that the story arc in question is filled with decent enough dudes--but it does end with the primary antagonistic character making peace with the fact that, as a white person, he'll never be a true athlete.

If you've caught up on the ONE version, you can check out the popularity poll for the other version of One Punch Man. In the well drawn comic, slots 2 and 3 are taken up by the hottest woman and the coolest looking guy, Fubuki and Geno. In the ugly comic, those slots are taken up by the bravest hero and the other bravest hero, Common Rider and King.

Don't look up the poll if you haven't read the ONE comic, there's a ton of spoiler people in there.

You're probably right, I just want Mumen Rider to become stronger. Not necessarily S Class power, just a bump in strength. Even if he became the top B-class hero, I think that'd be pretty cool. Wouldn't he be the perfect candidate to follow Saitama's daily training routine, since he also has incredible will power?

Thing is, Common Rider's very useful to the hero association right where he is now.

A hero can only go up in letter grade (apparently) by being top of his class. Right now, the semi-permanent C-1 hero is Common Rider, which means if you want to be promoted to B rank, you have to surpass him.

No one, absolutely no one is more heroic or has more justice in their heart that Common Rider. This means you can't make it to the B class by trying hard or being a swell guy, you have to have genuine strength. Not just a little--enough to make up for the degree by which you fall short of the heroic ideal. Because Common Rider's squatting at the top of C class, everyone in B class can theoretically be trusted to fight monsters and outperform the police.

The other top rank holders are similar... there are only two ways to get promoted past the Blizzard group. You can prove that you can suppress your pride and work as part of a larger heroic organization to get the blizzard group's support and be let past, or you can be comically stronger that Fubuki, which is... rare. So everyone in A class either can work as part of a heroic team in a large organization without making waves, or is so strong they don't need to. And you can't be promoted to S class because Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask has opinions. Opinions about heroism.

The class system breaks down super hard if it weren't for these three heroes squatting at their respective power levels, helping the Hero Organization sort out the talent from the ambitious weirdos in a costume their mom made.

I'm not misreading this arc, right? Garou is specifically being written as the protagonist so far. Eventually he's going to fight Saitama while Saitama is paying attention to him and lose horribly, but as it is Garou is just a typical shounen hero who is fed up with what he sees as unjust 'justice' and wants to be a monster to fight against the system he hates. He's just straight up the protagonist - he's even trying to save some kid!

Heroes are the good guys, monsters are the bad guys. C'mon, even kids know that.
