Well, they translated All Star Battle. :v:

I was hoping Saitama would knock out stupid jerk loli and anyone else who mouthed off to him for saving the world. Shows what I know about his personality.

I'm not entirely sure she'd survive it if he did. Actually, that's not true; I'm pretty sure she'd be paste if he tried anything along those lines.

There is also that one girl - Lily, I think her name was? - that's part of the Blizzard Group. I want to say she was introduced in this version, though I haven't read the webcomic, so I could be wrong.

So, how long until ONE withholds storyboards to force Murata to spend time with his family again?

It’s bowsette

E: i don’t know the timeline for manga publishing, but this is done online first, right? It’s not like Murata hasn’t redone stuff in a few days before and Bowsette blew up like two weeks ago



It probably actually is inspired by Bowsette, nice catch

E: Fun fact, I'm pretty sure Murata deleted the tweet where he shared this sketch.

The best part is he spent most of the month doing a lower-intensity version of the workout. He didn't get to the full 100 pushups, 100 situps, 10km running until the last week of the month.

"Oh no he could have killed me were it not for my foot thick plot armor"
In a vaccuum that scene is so great, but the remainder of the series shits on it.

The whole thing with the final villain of Naruto, and Kishimoto admitting he 'made him too powerful to beat', trying to justifying the big fart of a bait and switch with a completely unannounced villain.

The Sharingan was bullshit from minute one, so making Madara accidentally too powerful to defeat was appropriate, if nothing else.

I think those images just highlight the problem TBH -- Darkshine's problem isn't his body, it's his face

Yeah, this is the actual thing. If the dude looked like a Japanese dude with a ridiculous bodybuilder body, that would be one thing, but his face is still a racist caricature of a black dude.

King having a secret superpower is just as lame as Saitama having a secret superpower. It would genuinely eliminate the gags of either character.

There is nothing secret about Saitama's superpower.

I dunno, punching the ocean in half and using an aircraft carrier to surf the resulting wave doesn't seem like a bit to me. He even calls it his Serious Punch.

The surfing was definitely a bit. It was also a cool setpiece moment, but it was a gag for sure.

I do think it's kind of funny (as I've said in the other thread) how manga-only readers are very quick to hyperbolically proclaim this chapter a masterpiece solely on the strength of it's spectacle

The ones complaining the most are the ones who are engaging with the writing and do so in favor of the art. The ones complaining about the complainers are wondering why these curmudgeons aren't having their socks, and thus concerns, knocked off by all of the incredible art.

Maybe it wouldn't come off as condescending if you didn't suggest that people annoyed about the criticism don't care about the writing?

It is still a collaboration between ONE and Murata right? Seems weird that a lot of criticism that I have seen basically lays it all on Murata's end.

Yep. ONE is still writing OPM.

The army woman seems sharp, and can tell there's obviously something up with the hero. I'm guessing demon impersonator or parasite.

Or maybe he's just a coward who's about to sell them all out.

The timing of the Parasite World people explaining the way the parasites operate is a pretty strong suggestion that it's what's happening with Alio.

I just think the man is low-mid grade clinically depressed.

Yeah, agreed. Saitama being totally checked out about just about everything because he's depressed lines up pretty cleanly with the events of the comic.
