I think with all this build-up, Sea King has to be the first guy to be able to dodge one of Saitama's punches. I dont think there's a single entity on earth who can block or survive one of those, so the only option left is dodging them.

I love that the kanji on that house says "Shoryuken" but using the sign for 'house'. So it's the "Rising dragon house". Extend upwards and uppercut that meteor back to the cosmos, Rising Dragon House!

Condiv posted:Anyway, I was re-reading from the start, and it struck me. Did genos save saitama's life when they fought the mosquito girl? Saitama didn't seem to be immune to mosquito bites, and he couldn't crush one mosquito, so perhaps mosquito girl was saitama's kryptonite. You could also fight him with toxic gas, electric shocks, acids (acid spit is just going to get dodged though, sorry Sea King)... anything else? Basically Mosquito woman was Saitama's hard-counter.

international owl day posted:I think if he can punch through a meteor, he can probably kill a mosquito lady, no matter what she sends at him. The only enemy that has actually ever put up a fight was in Saitama's dream. What you're saying is the same thing as saying Batman can beat Superman because has all the informationz and planz. Yes, but if Superman throws the moon at the earth, and then the moon/earth pancake into the sun, then Batman will lose. Man I wish I remember where I saw that pic.

Well, in a case like this, i'd go with the one that sounds best to the English reader, disregarding the japanese. So if your choice is "Huff-Puff Prisoner" or "Pri-Pri-Prisoner", I'd go for the first one because it makes sense and has an obvious connection to the character himself, whereas the only advantage of the latter one is that it half-preserves a word-play that doesn't even translate into english anyway.

Only one thing bugs me with this (Major spoilers if you havent read ONE's version) It completely takes the impact out of Garou landing that first hit on Saitama. When he dodges his punch and kicks him in the face that was the first time anyone genuinely landed a hit on Saitama, even if there was no damage, and it was built up for half the manga so it was a gently caress-yeah moment. But now that Random Anime Person just liver punched him randomly and gave him a backhead smack, it's not going to be a big deal anymore. I'd much rather the exact same events happened this chapter except Saitama blocked that gutpunch. It made Garou stand out as a villain and was a major payoff to that arc, but now it's going to be just another regular battle.

On another note: http://www.batoto.net/read/_/245500/onepunch-man_ch34.6v2_by_nerieru-scans/9 I love this shot and the disparity between the two's fighting styles. Boros is making GBS threads himself giving all he's got. Saitama however is mostly flapping his arms around in some kind of improvised 100 Crack Fist move, he doesn't even clench his fist. It's obvious that although he's god the speed reflexes and power of a god, Saitama has no skills at all when it comes to fighting style. (Which is logical when you don't even need to put any effort in in the first place) Makes you wonder what kind of punches he could throw if he took a karate lesson. (And did 100 katas a day with no breaks, even when it's really hard, and with the AC turned off)

So a Super Move Serious Series: Serious Punch is essentially Saitama throwing an actual punch with proper legwork and torso rotation rather than kind of lazily flopping his hand from the hip in the general direction of the enemy.

Speaking of punching technique, I love this page: http://www.batoto.net/read/_/258244/onepunch-man_ch35.2-v3_by_nerieru-scans/13 He is punching like a child! Like, when I was 6 and got angry, I would just kind of run towards whoever it was and kind of wave my fists at him. Saitama is doing the same thing!

Rigged Death Trap posted:Its no different than any flurry of punches in any anime ever. It's not an art mistake, because the martial arts in the rest of the entire comic is on point. It's completely intentional. Saitama is throwing punches like a five year old because he has been given godslaying strength but no clue in the world about how to use it, plus he just does not give a gently caress enough to even bother trying. And 2/3rds of the punches even miss in that spread! He's throwing punches so halfassedly that most of them are going over Boros' shoulder and completely missing. This is the reason that that spread is my favourite spread in the comic. Bisse fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Feb 28, 2015 |

Parrotine posted:I wonder how this will work with One's randomized chapter update schedule. He doesn't update in a regular fashion; sometimes it'll be a chapter update within an already finished story arc (see the Smelly Lid prison b-plot starring Pri-Pri), or he'll just pad out the conclusion of another one to enrich an S-Class hero like Metal Knight.

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.

tsob posted:He might even just give Murata notes to do the writing from himself, becoming more of a consultant on the series than author at that point, since hasn't Murata done manga on his own before? I don't know how good they were writing wise, but if he's got good notes he can probably pick up the slack himself or hire someone else to help do the writing based off ONE's notes and consultation regarding intent and the spirit he envisions for it. Best would be, ONE does writing, does storybording together with and Murata, who then draws it.

This is a rare "even better than the manga" moment, but hahaha, when luffy kicks enel the circular drums thing on his back just disappears. I think I like this because they don't artificially try to make it some kind of punchline, like the way they botched the Sugar snipe. It just happens, quietly with no sound effects or music change, matter-of-fact style.
