Gonna say that a flame thrower doesn't seem all that harmless. Those dudes flailing about on fire seemed to not be having fun and seeing that would probably make those not on fire fairly compliant. Strongman and Magician seemed kind of in over their heads though. But who knows? Licenseless Rider could take a serious beating and walk away. Maybe these guys are hardier than they seem?

Strongman's arm got the sickest Indian Burn in the world and Magician is missing a hand now.

No, it's not actually like that

Most of the huge people like Pri-Pri Prisoner are constantly getting their poo poo pushed in. They look intimidating but they're not actually as big a threat as the guy who got super stronk by exercising even though he only looks swimming-buff.

Yeah, I know most of them have powers and stuff too though. Just let me have my joke. :v:

So, Sonic Speed is S-class level of power, right? And his only concern is beating Genos so he can challenge Saitama?

God this manga is just too good. I really hope we get another "DEATH" pulled punch from Saitama towards Sonic like during his big fight with Genos just to end the constant fighting and Sonic goes "huh. Well I'm done"

Speed Of Sound Sonic (lol) isn't even a hero so it's kinda hard to tell what his level would be. From what we've seen now he certainly doesn't have S-level strength if he couldn't take Genos. Though, the only fights I can remember him losing was that sea monster [Was it a king too?] because he was saving someone else's life and got acid on him and Saitama.

The real question is if Saitama could throw a punch so powerful that it knocks him off of his feet.

It's completely possible to knock Saitama off his feet. Fubuki did it a lot in this fight. The catch is that you won't actually be hurting him.

Well yeah. Physic powers are kinda hard to resist. I'm asking if Saitama can throw a punch strong enough that he's blown off his feet/ knocked over by the force of it circling around the globe.

It is a good fancomic but it makes me happy that OPM does not do any weird poo poo that most other manga nowadays do. Like OPM has monsters like Sunflower Man or "I ate too much crab, so I became a crab man!" or just a literal fan, compared to this thing which literally does Loli Monster #12 and Loli Monster #28.

Yeah, same.

In an interview, Murata said he watched the Sistine Chapel painting when he was seven thanks to an out-of-body experience.

Two weeks later, he recreated Starry Night using beans and paint.

Oxxidation posted:

That wouldn't be possible anyway because he never backs down. King's aura only works because he's able to choke back his own terror long enough for the enemy to crack first, no matter how hopelessly outmatched he is. Like Unlicensed Rider, that alone makes him one of the most courageous heroes, and is likely part of the reason why Saitama doesn't mind being besties with him.

I haven't read through the comic that recently. Does Saitama know that King isn't super strong or no?

Is that even a thing that happens in this series? I may be misremembering stuff.

So like, I'm guessing you've read the ONE version, and are just kinda dumping that sort of thing unspoilered because you're a dumbshit even though it could actually not have happened yet in the Murata version, right?

It happened very recently.

King ran away from G4 way back when and we all learned that he's not super strong back then, how is that a spoiler? I'm asking if it ever got revealed to anyone in comic that he's not as strong as he's been hyped up to be.

I mean, I could've worded it better to say 'or not' or something, but I thought the intention was clear.

The Baked Potato represents the oppression of the poor by the rich. The butter on his head is the small, insignificant pay and favors the rich give to "butter" up the masses.

And don't get me started on flying around using farts...

I love that Saitama does increasingly remarkable heroic feats and never gets credit. Like, it gets more and more ridiculous. I'm looking forward to him one-punching a giant dragon into a million pieces and everyone just assuming it had a hidden bomb inside it or something.

Saitama will beat the entire Hero Organization in an arm wrestling competition at the same time, with Tatsumaki and Fubuki holding him back psychically, and people will still assume they just handed him the match.

What'd solve the problem is if he toyed around with the monsters after they beat everyone. Or punted them into the mesosphere. You can't explain away someone kicking a monster the size of a house forty+ miles into the air!

But that'd kill a lot of the humor of the story so I doubt that'd actually happen.

Honestly, I hope Licenseless Rider doesn't join the group. He's great because he's just a normal person that stands up to evil, a real hero. Saitama's group is great because it's some slightly weird people slowly realizing how to be real heros; Licenseless Rider doesn't real fit in and then he would need unnecessary and probably clunky characterization that would ruin his impact imo. He's probably also got important not-videogame heroing to do.

I don't think Licenseless Rider would join the group per se but I'd say he's still in Saitama's corner like "You're an amazing hero and I am glad to be friends with you!" (He seems like the excited type to be shouting all the time)

If he does end up palling around in the posse I'd love to see more of what the dude is like when he has a chance to turn off the persona a bit.

edited to sound less like I know what's happening and am spoilng it and more like how I'd like it to play out

When he was introduced he was working as a professional bodyguard, and he also fought the Sea King people.

To me it seems that He's not really bad or good, he is just a mercenary. The only illegal stuff he has done to date has been to try and get the Caped Baldy formerly known as One Punch Man to try and fight him.

He did break out of jail too though.

It's actually more believable though, since it's just for the event (about a minute's worth of scrambled memories.)

It's also keeping the manga consistent in that no one can credit Saitama's accomplishments reliably. He hit Garou so hard he forgot he existed.

Since she's not a bee or wasp, I can see why she's not yellow and black.
