I wonder what would happen if saitama punched himself in the stomach or flung his heel up into his butt cheek really hard?

We already saw him being unscathed after smacking his own head while trying to whack the pesky mosquito in Chapter 5 - http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Onepunch-Man/Ch-005-Read-Online?id=146405#6

I'm pretty sure that whatever was wrong with him is okay now. It broke his limiter and gave him his Saitama level art skills.

Is Murata bald? If not, your theory is incorrect.

I thought he just liked to save male heroes he liked while in prison? He doesn't actually say he's violating people for fun (or did he???). I read the original manga, redrawn, and watching the anime.

He did say he was violating people.

Old Prisoner: It's been about a year since Boss came here. Boss had just busted a wanted Class A criminal and came here together with that wanted man.

Old Prisoner: I heard it was Boss's own decision to turn himself in... For Boss likes men even though he's a man himself. And that man just happened to be his type.

Old Prisoner: After a year with Boss, that wanted man was nothing but skin and bones, but it didn't matter any more...

Old Prisoner: Because Boss had come up with a very dangerous "solution" in the meantime.

Pri-Pri Prisoner: It's a crime to violate normal boys, but...


http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Onepunch-Man/Onepunch-Man---035-005----Tankobon-004-Extra-Prison?id=248664#21

Pri-Pri Prisoner: If it's a criminal boy, it's like I'm punishing him and it's killing two birds with one stone. No one will complain and everything's good!

Tatsumaki and Fubuki are the only known (human) psychics revealed thus far, Child Emperor has a genius IQ, and Zombieman can apparently regenerate or something (not really a surprise). Everyone else in-series is just stuck with some form of super strength, resilience, and/or athletic ability with the assistance of tools or possibly technique.

Dunno if Pig God has anything going for him.

You forgot Metal Knight / Doctor Bofoy, who is a genius robot-maker. That's not to say he necessarily doesn't have strength, resilience, and/or athletic ability, but he hasn't shown any of that to date.

I dunno if rank in the S class is directly comparible to actual power, though. Like, Child Emperor isn't as strong as Pri-Pri Prisoner even and people think King is the strongest guy in the world and he's only ranked 7th.

Metal Bat probably just spends too much time helping his school friends out of scrapes, working two jobs to pay for his sick mother's medical bills and listening to his sister's emotional troubles.

And making sure his cat's kittens are adopted out to good homes.

The youngest known heroes so far are...

Child Emperor (S-Rank) - 10
Lily (B-Rank) - 15
Metal Bat (S-Rank) - 17
Genos (S-Rank), Blue Fire (A-Rank) - 19

Clearly the young ones are powerful.

Wait, what? Metal Bat is only 17? :psyduck: Where was this stated?

He could jump off the moon and make it to namek by the time he needed to take a breath.

Does Saitama even need oxygen / air at this point? When he was punted to the moon by Boros, he didn't seem to be holding his breath or otherwise suffering for lack of air.

I missed this when I was reading the manga. Licenseless Rider is C1, him congratulating Saitama for becoming B class hero really shows how awesome he is. No hard feelings, no resentment of his strength, they both admire and respect each other . I really hope he gets stronger :( Maybe he can get a car and become a P Plate Driver!

Not just that, he must get all the licences. Driver's licence. Motorcycle licence. Firearm's licence. Lawyer's licence. Doctor's licence. Architect's licence. Mortician's licence. Imagine what he could achieve as a car-driving, motorcycle-riding, shotgun-wielding, lawyer-doctor-architect-mortician hero. Instead of beating up villains one at a time, he could uproot entire criminal gangs by evicting them from their office headquarters or prosecuting them for tax evasion.

All the licences. ALL OF THEM.

Here's a new (I think?) extra chapter that feels highly relevant to recent discussion.

I was surprised to see Tatsumaki brushing her teeth. I would've thought she would just telekinesis all the plaque out or something.

Does anyone wonder if King actually does have a power, Like, the ability to cause problems that were gonna happen, and people who can fix them, towards himself? Particularly in ways that make it seem like he is doing it himself?

I know the joke is that it is all sheer dumb luck, but I feel like it would be cool too if some folks in the hero association knew, but also thought he might be like a good luck charm or something.

King's power is, and I say this absolutely sincerely, that he is The Strongest Man in the World.

I just found out that the mangaka of Angel Densetsus followed it up with Claymore as his next series. That's one hell of a genre shift.

Her name is Sansetsukon no Lily / Lily of the Three-Section Staff. She's the only female member of Fubuki's gang (other than Fubuki herself) and she wields a three-section staff.

She made her first appearance in Chapter 44 (bottom right panel).

if that sounds silly, it's cause she first appeared in the Murata version and became cool cause she's like the only dude in Fubuki's group with a dang name that's not Glasses or Eyelashes

Then she got so popular that ONE imported her into his version of the manga.

Garou (and Bang) should be pretty good with characters with QCF, HCF and other circular-motion inputs, but suck with back/forward and up/down characters like Guile and Blanka.

I wonder where we go after this. We've done Earth's defender, incredible medicine, DNA manipulation, sea monster, aliens, and now an incredible martial artist. How do we escalate? All I've got right now is something coming back from the future, androids, vampires, or demons.

There's still a number of mysteries that have been hinted at but not yet resolved:

(a) Who's the cyborg that destroyed Genos's town and killed his family?

(b) What's the true agenda / allegiances of Metal Knight, and why did Drive Knight warn Genos against Metal Knight?

(c) Who is Blast, and why has he been missing for so long?

(d) Is Watchdog Man a man wearing a dog costume, or a giant dog holding a human head / mask in his mouth?
