The other low-rank heroes scraped up a bit of courage via teaming up when they had nowhere left to run. Licenseless Rider took on a giant monster who had just torn a combat cyborg to pieces. He specifically chose to risk his life for others when he could have just left instead. And as far as I can tell, in spite of how he is a parody of Kamen Rider he is just some dude who rides a bike without any special abilities.

There is nothing to indicate that the Sea King is any more dangerous than the other stuff Saitama has beaten with one punch. The only thing that will fly away are the tiny bits of meat that used to be his torso.

God, not another heart pasties-based power level argument. At times like these, I wish that ONE had never introduced heart pasty scouters.

Now that he's a registered Hero, I'd presume that he gets a stipend or allowance from the Heroes' Association. Before that, he was probably living off his savings from the days when he was still a salaryman.

He was a failed salaryman. He never successfully got a job, and then immediately began his arduous training regimen after fighting the crab guy.

I thought he still thinks Saitama is lying to him about his ridiculous training regimen and hiding what really made him so strong.

Nah, Genos acknowledges that Saitama doesn't seem to know how he got so strong. He still respects Saitama, though.

If someone turns into a giant crab from eating too much crab, is anyone going to think of them as human? It helps that all of the monsters are dicks, though.

Most of the heroes are just normal guys with no special powers or even talents. Excessive and unwarranted self-confidence isn't limited to Saitama.

It was raining, so the sea king was at full strength, too. Saitama winning isn't surprising, but that he did so in front of witnesses who knew who he was is.

Murata is pretty much a genious. Personally, I'm not a real big fan of mangas or manwas, but there is no denying that I have never seen anyone do this medium as well as he does. I would pick this over any other comic art I've ever seen. Are there any who compare, across all genres?

He's the Saitama of the comic world. One-page man. All it takes to blow you away.

Oh my, yes. Murata is an incredible comics artist, but he is hardly the only one, japanese or otherwise.

Lord Boros' old armor design looks familiar...



I guess that's why Murata did a redraw, his original design looked too much like Darkness Blade.

I keep comparing those two pictures and I can't see any similarities aside from how they are both wearing black armor. Every tiny detail is different. Even the fact that they both have pointy shoulders is meaningless because the points are still completely different. Really, it is kind of amazing how dissimilar they are. Murata's kind of crazy with character designs.

Aw, I prefer the translation they used in the original for Atomic Samurai's response to finding out about the marble.

Makes him sound a lot more stubborn. Anyway, can't wait for next chapter. It has one of my favourite jokes in the series.

Eh, this version of Atomic Samurai isn't particularly formal. Just look at him.

We need to clone Murata and fill an anime studio full of his clones. It will be the greatest achievement of humanity ever. :argh:

And then thanks to how the anime industry works, only the fittest clones would manage not to starve to death. Too bad they would never receive enough of a budget to animate anything well.

His art is very rough, but he puts a lot of effort put into the perspectives and flow of action. Murata is awesome on his own merits, but his version is frequently a panel-by-panel reproduction of ONE's original. In other words, while ONE isn't a great artist, he is great at using comics to tell a story.

There are far too many heroes who think they are much stronger than they really are. Even though biology is rather malleable in this setting, just desiring to be the strongest isn't enough to make it true. Heck, Saitama never really wanted such a remarkable level of power. He wanted to be stronger, not the strongest.

Well he wanted to be the cool hero who shows up and ends it in just one punch. He got exactly what he asked for, it just turns out that it sucks.

Old Man of the Underworld was pretty good too. ONE's series kind of have a trend of having the titular character be incredibly powerful compared to other characters in their setting, but don't really want/care about being that powerful and trying to live fairly normal lives (or at least normal for that setting's standards).

They all examine different aspects of having incredible power. Saitama deliberately set out to acquire power, but didn't find fulfillment in being a hero once he obtained it. Mob was born with his (frequently envied) power, but he only desires things that his power can't help him attain. I've only read a few chapters of old man here and there, though.

Bang is actually very modest. He is an elderly martial artist with no superhuman abilities who is still the rank 3 hero, but he doesn't make a fuss about it. So it follows that he wouldn't start blabbing everywhere about Saitama when the man in question doesn't care much about fame.

Her dress only gets skin-tight when she uses her powers to create wind, which is a nice touch. And really, can you blame Murata? He has had approximately 0 chances to draw attractive women thus far in this manga. An artist who likes to draw women isn't exactly unusual.

The fly in the early chapters had the right idea. Annoy Saitama. Get him to use a full powered punch on himself.

Her mosquito swarm probably came closer than anything else to actually hurting Saitama. He is amazingly resilient, but not completely invulnerable. He can bleed, so if the mosquitos could pierce his skin (granted, that's a pretty big if) they could drain him dry. Of course, he could have gotten rid of them in any number of ways, but Saitama prefers to solve problems by talking it out and/or punching.
