I wish to see the final villain in the manga be some sort of Raoh like figure to Saitama who did the exact same type of training that Saitama did.

And then lose to Saitama because he did something ridiculous like take a nice warm bath after exercising.

Nah, it's the leeks. Saitama eats his vegtables.

It's ok if there's speculation, especially if it's increasingly ridiculous like if next arc they reveal that Saitama grew up near a radioactive landfill or something. I just don't want anything definitive.

I don't want any sort of explanation other than what Saitama has already given us. Unless it's other people postulating bizarre theories to him which he proves false.

Only in this manga could that face on page 13 mean very bad things for the villain.

Also we meet another person who gained super powers via a vastly underpowered workout routine. The infomercials in this world that replace the P90X and Insanity Workout infomercials must be fantastic.

I fully expect this guy to show up and announce (with a full head of hair) that he trained exactly as Saitama did everyday... Except for only two years and eleven months. Thereby making him no match for Saitama who endured that extra month.

Can't do that with a full head of hair since Saitama's started falling out at the begining. But if he turned on the AC or skipped breakfast/didn't eat a bannana every day, well that's a different story.

I'm getting tired of murata and his false promises! Where's the 100 page chapter we were promised?!

At this rate, next chapter is gonna be 3 pages and then another half month before next.

He apologized and seemed pretty disappointed that he only got 57 pages for that issue. Bringing it up is just being a jerk, man.

He even gave us this around the same time:



Being serious though, what is the average page count for an issue of One Punch Man? It's got to be in like the low 30s I'd think.

I swear to god I saw that mosquito bite him.

Mosquito lady sent a tsunami of mosquitoes over the area where Genos and Saitama were standing, then Genos caused an explosion in the same area. The result was that Saitama's cloths were destroyed but he was completely unhurt. The single mosquito that first caused Saitama to rage just buzzed around him like a fly.

Guys, there's no need to explain the origin of Saitama's powers. They are already explained. He did strength training for a year and lost all his hair and became invincible. That's it! There's nothing else there. He just did strength training and became a superhuman. I see no reason why I should reject that explanation and speculate on some "truly" superheroic cause, because this is a work of fantasy and primarily a comedy at that.

I still really want to see someone who mostly followed Saitama's regime and as a result isn't superhuman, but is bald. Like they turned on their AC in the summer, missed a couple meals, or biked 10k a day instead of running.

The reason Saitama became a hero is because, when he was a normal guy, he risked his life to save a child from a giant crab monster. Actions speak louder than words.

My favourite bit is that they clearly have just set out enough chairs for all the S-class heroes, and had to pull up an extra chair because Saitama is there (and they are leaving No 1's empty for some reason), but Genos gave his chair to Saitama and took the extra one himself :v:

Metal Knight also didn't show up, so they just took his chair for Saitama. There's no empty chair between King and Child Emperor. Though according to their seating arrangement, not only is Saitama the strongest but Genos is number two. They're the only ones not sitting in their ranked order.

It would seem to me that in titles where it's about fan-service that it would move product. However most of the time it's probably not making a difference and is there either because the artist likes it or the editors/artist think it will up sales. For example, I doubt people would quit reading Fairy Tail if it suddenly stopped with the fan-service.

The interface on Viz's reader is also somehow better than Crunchyroll's. :negative: The apps are pretty good, and also the only way to get WSJ outside of North America. OPM is supposed to be bi-weekly, but I wouldn't count on that. If you read one of the other series it might be worth it to subscribe, although you can buy back issues up to three months back, so there's no worry of missing anything if you don't.

I just don't understand why they don't at the very least let you jump to a specific page if they can't do an interactive index. Unless the mobile apps let you but the online reader doesn't, which is bullshit.

Ottumon posted:

So, I'd have to read the chapters with my lovely phone? That seems like just about the worst way to enjoy OPM. It doesn't help either that I can't find any information about pricing and such on their webpage.

It's $25.99 for a year subscription and you can read it in a browser on your computer instead of on an app if you want. You also get 4 free Yu-Gi-Oh! cards with your purchase, because everyone plays Yu-Gi-Oh!, right? Who could turn down such a deal!
