Has anybody pointed out Watchdog underneath Genos' arm in this picture?:



He is very fearsome.

I'm curious about the green-haired girl. Aside from Saitama, every other hero seems to be either science-based or have no powers at all aside from being incredibly weird.

Someone on another forum actually posted little mini-bios about every hero in that picture, so what follows is an

Obviously-past-this-point-in-the-manga-proper-spoiler:

She is an S-class hero and an Esper, and is extremely powerful - she might be comparable to Saitama.

I can quote the rest of them and clip the super-spoilery parts if people would like.

Nah they are both pretty reprehensible practices. I just don't get scanlation watermarking at all, like, what's the motive behind it? Internet semi-fame? It's just so loving asinine.

A lot of it is some sad ploy for ad-revenue [as in the case with manga hosting watermarks]. When groups do it it's usually for donations. Really. They want people downloading it from their site or from their IRC so they can goad you into donating to them or something. The A-Team was really notorious and pathetic for this when they literally held their scans hostage around Christmas time while waiting for donation goals to be hit before releasing their chapters. This was about 2 years ago, I don't think they do it anymore now that others have picked up their series.

These Mangapanda watermarks aren't even all that obnoxious, it gets so much worse.
I've only seen one watermark that's worse than that, and it was some group doing Big Order? I'm not sure. They saved all of their images as gifs and put an obnoxious black frame with text as the first slide. A lot of readers strip gifs and only display the first frame - so on those sites you'd just see a horrible wall of "Don't read on this website" text.

Edit: Example of the latter.

Raw for chapter 28 is up.

Genos with some built-in dish-drying functionality. He looks so pleased with himself.

The very first page which has two sentences, one of which is a chuckle, already has a major mistranslation. Why do people still read translations from these people instead of waiting for Boon.

Because nothing prevents me from reading Boon's as well when it comes out and a poorly translated scan is still better than the raw. It's not like there's some great law of manga that each chapter must only be read once.

No it's perfectly fine to call people stupid for reading bad translations. There's no excuse for subjecting yourself to it.

Don't you feel embarrassed when you say dumb poo poo like this? Please tell me more about how reading lovely scans a day before the good scans come out makes me stupid.

This is worse than the dumb fansub arguments that come up every time 'gg' is mentioned. At least with fansubs it's a 30 minute time commitment.

But that guy also mentions that Saitama never really seemed like he was trying that hard. The villain just wanted a good fight and Saitama didn't want it to seem like he wasn't struggling. His serious attack was a regular punch. His serious speed afterimage speed was made up on the spot. He just did really fast hops after watching Sonic bounce around. He made up the name so that his enemies don't feel bad. It's not serious at all.

As opposed to like a Haymaker? He hasn't exactly got lasers or energy blasts to use. Punches are his thing.

But the guy he's fighting says that it never feels like he bared his fangs or stopped holding back. I think he's making up titles for his attacks on the fly and that he's just naming them based on what he thinks will make his enemies feel better about themselves without realizing that he's really bad at naming his own attacks. If he was holding back the entire time then it's not a serious attack. And there's no reason to think that his normal attack combo is actually a normal attack if his serious attack isn't serious.

Oh that's not what I meant. [ONE spoilers]He was absolutely still holding back, I just thought it was funny that you called it just a 'regular' punch, because even his "strongest" punch will just be a 'regular' punch.

That's part of why I love this manga.

E:V Sorry about that.

I hope that the cookie in the re-draw was an interpretation of Genos' shoulder pad.

You do realize the whole "Saitama's training routine" thing is a joke, right? It's not the routine that makes Saitama the strongest, he just is.

It is the routine though. It's exactly what Saitama did. He's not being funny in recounting it.

Correlation does not imply causation. Come on, goons, you're better than this.

There's literally nothing in the story that suggests anything else, and I'd bet there never will be. The character has told you exactly where his power comes from and you're like, "Naw dude, you got some special genes or somethin'."

If this were like Hunter X Hunter or something that took itself more seriously, yeah I'd probably agree with you. But there's no reason to disbelieve that in this universe, following his instructions won't lead to you losing all of your hair and growing strong.

I wish Genos had taken Saitama seriously and adopted his extreme training regiment instead of pressing him for some perceived deeper secret to his strength.

Then we would have 2 one punch men.

Also he hides stuff in his butt.

This is important - he's not hiding it, he just had nowhere else to put it.

Women can relate when they are not carrying a purse. There is simply no where else to hold a phone securely.
