Since Metal Bat gets stronger the more damage he takes, do you think he runs faster the longer he's run for? Or does the strength only apply to his bat?

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

If it's shown that King has some sort of superpower and isn't just a scary looking guy that everyone intimidates themselves into losing to, I will be very disappointed.

The whole "the S class heroes and also the whole Hero Association is unreliable and untrustworthy" bit would land harder if we didn't just have a story arc where they successfully defended the Earth from a very visible and credible threat.

Feels like it would fit more naturally as a follow up to some sort of fiasco where they hosed up what should have been an easy job.

Literally every thing that Saitama has saved people from has started by showing how ill-equipped the hero association is to deal with threats generally, and how hard it is to get S class heroes specifically to do anything. They're also correct to say that the association's power has been centralized to protect the wealthy, which I'm pretty sure has been explicitly stated by the board. The heroes themselves do save people, but it's in spite of the association rather than because of them.

This also didn't happen in a vacuum. Heroes couldn't stop a meteor from hitting a city. They couldn't stop Deep Sea King, and the dome the association built didn't protect them. They couldn't stop aliens from destroying a city, even if they stopped them from destroying the planet. And same with the monster association too, except worse this time. Trusting in individual heroes that they can see saving people is one thing, but trusting in the association is another. Especially when they just keep consolidating resources to protect themselves and their investors first.

It's been said before, but I do think it would be genuinely funny if we never see any actual action even once it starts, and it's just people telling the folks in the fort how things are going outside.

Love this manga, this is the first time I've heard about a new one shot. Very cool. Murata has evolved a lot as an artist since then, so I'm excited to see when they do with it. Happy 21th, ES21.

Also, of all of the things to do it, seeing ES21 being 21 years old has made me withered and aged.

Pretty sure Evil Clone King would just challenge Real King to a Super Smash Bros match. And then eat all his snacks, because he's eeeeevil.

It would be very funny to me if this started a wave of all the enemies fighting each other, but the pov stays with the humans who stay at base and do more planning. No inter-enemy fighting is seen.

Bofoi is basically a cop in that he shows up to poo poo too late to do anything, and when he does show up on time, he either does nothing or makes things worse. And then to mediate the stuff that he didn't bother trying to prevent, he made a big walled city that he has personal control over a lot of and is using to pump investors for money for his walled city project. And he does this all away from anyone who could confirm what he's doing.

He's not necessarily a bad guy, but he ain't a hero.

So is Viz trying to play up how silly this is by picking too extreme of a word, or did they gently caress up a joke that fan scans managed to do better?

What kinda sucks is that the Mumen Rider and Amai Mask thing is usually a scanlation thing where dipshits won't translate something to "preserve the integrity of the original Japanese" or some poo poo. Proper localization should be the thing coming up with stuff Wild Emperor for their target audience.

I also think sometimes they forget this is supposed to be a gag manga.

Fully sick honestly. Lets go Alio.

I think it'd be cool if we found out the heroes from each dimension are also decent foils for other monsters.

I also think it would be very funny to see Alio immediately jobbed to preserve the core premise of the story instead.

I would hope that Flash is smart enough to see through this, but I also know he's incredibly stupid. I'm willing to bet Sonic manages to solve this for him in a very stupid way.

Its kinda just in the English language now, since we just steal any word that we need to fill a new concept.

I think a lot of this in particular comes from typical localizations of terms like that end up sounding lame and/or being a mouthful. It's easier just to say "genjutsu" and figure your audience will eventually interpret that as "magic ninja spell" rather than committing to a term like "magic ninja spell" for every instance in the thing you're localizing.

Also, kids these days are allowed to know other countries exist with other cultures and stuff. We don't need Phoenix Wright eating hamburgers at a hamburger stall anymore, kids know what ramen is.
