Technically that was a flash back. Also holy poo poo is the first time someone actually saw him one punch something in plain view? Most of the time people think the opponent was weakened.

I think speed of sonic is much stronger than many or most A to S ranks like garou but he has a hilarious fixation on Saitama like everyone else. For reference, genos is also extremely strong.

Yeah, Genos and Saitama are both under ranked in the Heroes Association. Genos is just closer to what he should be ranked because he's a cool cyborg who can do well on the written test.

Well, of course, but the designs themselves aren't complicated to begin with. I can't quite put my finger on the thing that puts me off, but I think it's something about Genos's face.

Are you sure it's Genos's face and not the fact that they somehow cast Ikkaku for Saitama?

HxH is a lot like Naruto, if Naruto didn't start to choke on its own rear end and enter an rear end devouring spiral of terrible, rapidly spinning until it shed off chunks of itself in a savage celestial wretch until it collapsed into a black hole of pure loving suck. HxH on the other hand manages to expand itself out into an interesting and strange world, that goes on hiatus, then gets more awesome, then gets more hiatus, repeating this cycle in a weirdly abusive relationship where the answer to 'what do you call a hxh fan with etc etc' except the answer is dragon quest? And a turkey?

You only understand the wonder of the turkey if you don't read the actual volume releases though. You've got to read it chapter by individual, un-retouched, chapter to fully behold the wonder of the turkey.

Don't see how that's possible since it's only somewhat recently people quit talking about the One version in here. Though at least when King first shows up in the anime, the King Engine talk will make some sort of sense when people start "casually" immediately mentioning it.

It's not really that complicated. You can wear it as an undershirt, or by itself, or as pajamas. It has no sleeves, so it allows full range of movement. It's simple. It can look good on any gender. You can probably use it as a tourniquet. You can potentially use it as pants. Its versatility is unrivaled in the field of upper-body wear.

To be fair, if you get Speed of Sonic Sound sent after you, you're probably a pretty bad guy. Nobody hires a world class assassin/ninja to take out saints.

Martin Luther King Jr. might disagree. You have to be really, really high-profile and controversial to attract enough ire to do it by good deeds, but it does happen.

Nobody hired James Earl Ray to kill King, and even if you believe in some vast rear end in a top hat conspiracy, James Earl Ray was not a world class assassin. It's always some lone crazy rear end in a top hat who offs saints. Like that guy who tried to kill JPII(who is officially saint, or at least just a step or two away).

Oh well I guess that makes it okay that the prisoner broke out of jail since there was a hole there.

No man, it's cool, I only stole this money because there was a hole in the safe, I'm not really a bad guy!

A completely non-violent escape where you don't even cause any property damage is pretty low on the morally bad things to do. It's not like you gave your word to stay there and now you're breaking it. In and of itself, morally less bad than parking in a handicap spot when you aren't handicapped.

It may be filler, but anything Murata does is like caviar to me. I'll even take him drawing Peanuts talking heads, which is essentially what he does here..

So the three heroes who got beat down.. looks like Goodyear Man, Neti Pot Face, and Red Nose. What the hell is Red Nose's power, getting drunk and bragging about how he would take out (x) villain? Or is it getting beat up by villains and winding up with a red nose all the time...

He's a C Class hero, he doesn't have any powers, just gimmicks. Like the best gimmick in all of herodom, used by the #1 C Class hero.

Filler is padding to stretch something out, that is not what this is. It's an expansion of the story for the purposes of the story. It's not like this is a direct and exact translation anyway, it's an adaptation that is very faithful.

Unless you want to say other side stories are filler to. In which case you're wrong and I feel sorry that you don't understand divine revelation.

I think the truth of it is that they didn't want any confusion.

Nah, they're just idiots. Zorro is just a mildly popular character that kids parents would know, and outside the name there is very little, if anything, to cause confusion. Maybe his bandanna.

If anything it's someone looking at the r and figuring that the Japanese must have meant l. Because...reasons.

Don't worry guys, it's only a matter of time before Murata redoes the whole thing in flip book format. Each flip book redone by hand for each new language release to account for different text lengths.
