Maybe it's a trick of lines or something, but I just swear it looks like you can see the air fluctuating around his lasers from the heat.

It looks like soft focus on a camera, could be some digital post stuff, or maybe he's just good enough to draw blurry poo poo.

So was this chapter hinting that Saitama's strength might be due to the same thing that's causing Z-City to spit out so many monsters? Hope not, I love that part about him.

They're going to assume he's a monster and it's going to turn out that he just did a bunch of situps and jogging

Basically, the bad guy was going to give everyone free electricity to cure the world's energy crisis, which is welfare. And welfare is bad because it encourages everyone to be greedy jerks.

So libertarian ubermench protagonist challenges the simpering liberal poo poo to the ultimate race to demonstrate his own natural superiority, and then he uses the infinite energy tower to let everyone float for a few minutes before it's destroyed, so they'll all be inspired to bootstrap themselves into better lives instead of having the energy crisis solved for them.

Also obama was a secret Kenyan, and eventually steals the body of a teenage girl, leaving her to rule america in his body while he runs off to rollerblade and hit on boys. They never trade back.

I could see the question of how Saitama got strong and what he does for money being one in the same. Like he works in a nuclear power plant or does drug testing and never thought there was any correlation at all. Hell with either of those it could explain the hair loss too.

This would sorta ruin it if it ever was explained though, it's one of the few times I hope we're kept in the dark about something that's sorta important in a manga.

It needs to be something really simple like "well yeah I ran uphill both ways to get the extra workout"

I still really want to see someone who mostly followed Saitama's regime and as a result isn't superhuman, but is bald. Like they turned on their AC in the summer, missed a couple meals, or biked 10k a day instead of running.

Maybe Blast is actually Sweet Mask, who has assumed another identity to gatekeep at A1 rank.

I've honestly been thinking this. The implication seemed to be that he was currently acting as a gatekeeper for S but I seems like he's got a bit more klout than he should.

Also it seems like the case was that anyone could get to S if they were strong enough, but Mask has prevented that from being true.

It's been said before, but the pacing of the tournament wouldn't seem so bad if the releases were more regular. It'll probably take, like, 2 episodes of an anime, if it's covered at all.

It's not a joke either.
It's probably been the weakest part of Murata's manga version and it's also not filler considering everything is written by ONE so that's actually wrong on every level. I don't know why people have issues with people saying something in something they both like might not actually be great. The My Hero Aca fandom is pretty awful for that, for example.

its good but not great (i m o) and im bored of it especially knowing that the stuff after is great, because i have already read it.

I could have sworn it was universally understood to mean "new content that was not I the original work being adapted" but the lines are blurred a bit when the same author is there writing it.

I'm not concerned about whether or not it's filler, I'm just bored of it :shrug:

Is no one in here American? PPPrisoner can be the personification of what our prisons are supposed to represent and are 'joked' about; it's a place where we memory hole people and with the expectation that they will be treated to a violent and rapey time. Everyone is gay in prison. That Puri shows actual concern and apparent care for others is why he is a hero. He is a force of justice in the prison itself while adhering to the rules of that world.

Also he hides stuff in his butt.

Being viscerally terrified of gay men in a sexual sense, while maybe (hopefully...) a little dated in some areas, is as American as apple pie, or hiding a phone in your butt.

All jokes aside, regarding any lgbtq group as deviant sex fiends is so common that it's staggering that not only are some people upset that anyone cares about it, but are actively arguing that it doesn't exist??

Idk, I just really don't see how "I feel this way about this part of the comic" is some verboten topic that makes people upset. If you wanna blaze and look at a cool punch?

I felt like originally that the art was part of the joke. Having this lightweight gag manga, that is notable for both how funny it is and how poorly it is drawn, and putting it through some of the best art in the industry was really loving funny and a big part of what made the comic work for me. The Boros fight being this massive spectacle AND having "Ok." is such an iconic thing.

At this point the redraw is so different from that, and I don't remember the last story beat that I actually cared much about, or the last joke to really get me. It's not some bs abt The J j j j jokes, it's that the entire tone and pace of the comic has changed, from the first few arcs and especially from the webcomic where the jokes were originally set up

Sure the art is phenomenal, I just wish there was half as much of it lmfao
