Garousisters are we fraudsters? Are we not monsters?

>>279940772 (OP)
Thinking about it, some of the additions up until the phoenix man may have been good, it's just that there were more negative additions than positive ones. The negative additions were probably mainly due to Murata's influence even back then.

>>279941068
You know, I've been to Japan and I have to say... Takoyaki's never really done it for me.
I tried it several times just to make sure, but every time it just tastes of generic fried stuff, the taste of octopus is completely gone. Octopus in pretty much any other way - including tenpura - is way better in my opinion.

>>279941289
We even have this being said in a stream

>T/N: ONE is very busy with other projects these days, the storyboards he sends often consist of simple stick figures and sometimes only descriptions of characters or scenes in text, leaving a lot of the creative work to Murata.

And that was the situation even before the Phoenix Man.

>>279941495
The monster's head in the top panel looks conspicuously good.

>>279941554
ONE's art really improved

>>279941072
If you don't pick sides both will gang up on you.
He and Saitama are similar but Garou was just more perceptive and directly hurt by the injustice while saitama had to wait for the legendary HNVA to fight the system.

>>279940796
>kill that child
Irrefutable I'm afraid

>>279941616
Sure, but that one looks weirdly good compared to everything else in the chapter. The proportions, the perspective, it all just fits. It's almost uncanny.

Wow, that's a big loredump.
>>279941450
Honestly, he should work with the HA. With his research he can create an army of powerful heroes.

>>279942294
I love the running gag of Fubuki acting like it's her place.

>>279943818

from here on out, mangafags need to sit back and shut up

>>279942294
>She's still going at it
Admirable.

>>279943966
that was a good fight but i feel it needs to be redone some way

>>279944009
Murata saw this and thought his manga needed a BDSM domme.

I honestly just really appreciate how quickly the S-classes (excluding Zombieman) crush their opponents here. Really makes them look sincerely exceptional at their jobs before things go south for them.

>>279944009
>>279944069
So she's Do-s' counterpart?
What a bummer. Would have liked it if he did an interpretation of her.

>>279943914
>>279943966
>Murata turned this into a +100 pages fight with 3 redraws
What in the actual fuck was wrong with him? Arguably THE turning point for the manga becoming unredeemable.

>>279944855
expanding on this was a mistake but still redeemable in my opinion
it gets worse

>>279944890
>the beginning of unnecessary redraws
>the beginning of sappy smile shit

I like how much faster these first fights go, they are intended to just be quick ones to make it seem like they can annihilate the MA with ease, none of them needed to be longer than this

>>279944942
yeah this is the beginning of the end but my point is that if he made the events surrounding garou similar to the webcomic it would've been fine but it went off the rails completely

I love how dumb his backstory is

>>279943820
He can already create an army of Carnage Kabutos.
>He has shown the ability to clone Carnage Kabuto, if Carnage Kabuto is far from his ideal he could simply create another more stable and perhaps even stronger creature and then clone an army of it>

>>279942787
That's our fucking monster right there

>>279946568
Yes. Also narcissistic and already used to deal with mindbreakingly strong urges.

>>279943200
Fucking awesome

>>279943818
Aaaaiiiieeeed

>>279946579
This design would have been by far the best design for Awakened Garou. Just give him horns and it would have been fucking great. Those empty eyes, the non conforming line work, the brittled lips. He should have looked like he didn't fucking belong in the manga. But instead Murata made him look like an alienware PC.

Murata is an amazing artist but he doesn't have a soul. He's a bugman. The complete opposite of ONE, ironically enough.

>>279943528
...

>>279943820
>>279946687
When you think about it, Doctor Genus may well be more dangerous than the monster association and the organization, or at least as dangerous as the organization.

>>279944855
The thing about phoenix man is that it was good, it's the redraws that killed it and the pacing.

>>279943547
He was clearly.. you know what, nevermind.

>>279944838
But it makes you wonder why the MA even bothers keeping those jobbers around. A mini prologue arc giving them feats would have been good, and I guess that was the intention of the tournament arc, but it just dragged on for too long, revealed too much and escalated way more than it should taking away from what was supposed to be the main arc.

Such a masterful feeling of movement

Seeing these chapters reminded me of how OPM's story, characters and world-building were so good and how the manga ruined it so badly.
It rekindled some of my love for OPM while making me angry and agonized over how the manga ruined it.

>>279943091
I am willing to take that one for the team

>>279942616
Here it looks like they were going to raid the monster association regardless of whether a child was there or not.
Basically here rescuing the child wasn't the reason for the raid so it's understandable that they sent PPP.

>>279942625
He is supposed to be discreet in appearance, what is flashy are his skills.

Is this top panel a trace or a reference? It looks familiar

He is a self-centered guy that cared about nothing else than his research and prove of his genius, doing anything beyond at this point that is just his basic survival instinct as he already deemes his research as a failure not matter how benefitial in other fields it could be.

it's around here where the webcomic quality goes up and the manga quality goes down.
man, it's so fucked up remembering how the manga screwed things. it still had some good moments but those became rarer and rarer until they disappeared. i dont even think the decline started with filler tournament hell because it bounced back with garou vs the A-class being great. there is no bouncing back from what happened to the manga afterwards.

>>279943686
Can robots reproduce the human mind to such an extent?
Are they artificial intelligences with real sentience?
They even call each other little brother and big brother.

>>279944654
They're probably from the organization, they've been replaced by that other robot from the organization.

>>279944654
Technically, there is still a new robot in the manga. Maybe it was to replace them.

>>279944654
Also, their human versions exist in the webcomic, they are introduced later after the MA arc.
Unironically, despite this, the webcomic stayed more true to their characters and didn't shit on them like the shitty manga did.

The difference in soul, can you feel it?

>>279950947
god's ENTER was great but that was the last hurrah

>>279945534
True snd there was no need for more monsters than that either, it was perfect.
The manga just bloated things too much.

why was the phoenix man fight redrawn so many times anyways? i never botheres with the manga when the filler started

>>279952507
Only Murata knows

>>279952507
Murata was dissatisfied with something in the design of Child Emperor's robot and took things too far.

>>279951169
I think they're just humans transformed into mechanical monsters because of their obsession.
It's the Monster Association, after all.

>>279944069
He was right this time.

>>279952974
Yeah, you're probably right, at most they must be cyborgs.

WAT THE DOG DOIN?

>>279945888
>>279954457
It's more like world-building, which is very interesting and important.
OPM's world-building was great before Murata ruined it in the manga by shoving God and Blast into everything.

>>279954583
And other nonsensical shit as well.

>>279944330

IMMA FIRING MA LAZAAAA
>>279942966
>villain mogged this hard

>>279949871
I wonder if Murata genuinely just never realized OPM was supposed to be a parody of shonen, and not just a shonen with jokes.

>>279942739
I don't know if anyone has it. But there's a comparison between this panel and the corresponding manga panel and the WC just has so much more weight behind the movement

>>279944330
Pig gog is very unnerving imo, i wonder what's his deal

>>279943328
Child Emperor looks like a Chris Chan like OC posing with his favourite characters

>>279943372
>>279943485
Saitama living at Bang’s dojo would be pretty funny. He’d be like an elderly landlord or like his dad. While Saitama plays video games with King he’ll pop up to ramble

>>279943528
>murata saw this and went AWWOOOOGA

>>279943966
Wait WHAT. Why did this get so much attention in the manga? Is child emperor just Murata’s favourite or something?

>>279955015
If I were a monster, I think he would be the one I'd least want to fight.

>>279944282
Him smoking cigarettes during his recovery (and just smoking in general) was a good addition

>>279941919
Oh man it's gonna take forever to show all these fights.

>>279955753
I'd rather fight Saitama.
Even if I was 99% sure I was stronger than Pig God, I'd rather take the 100% chance of getting one punched than the 1% chance of being fucking eaten.

ngmi

>>279956422
>taking the 99% chance of getting splatter-death'd by Saitama rather than the 1% chance of being vored by Pig God

>>279956532
He makes a pretty compelling argument, you have to admit.

Are there actual Villains in the OP world? It seems like all the antagonists are monsters, nothing what you’d call proper villains. Is that what ninjas, the Organisation, etc, are supposed to be?

>>279957245
No super villains at least. We see multiple examples of gangs and crime organizations, there's hammerhead as one example (they give criminals S-C rankings too) but we've never seen an S class villain. Well, other than Garou

>>279956422
Agreed.

>>279956480
Yeah no I definitely would not be that type of monster.

>>279956532
Being eaten is a primal fear.

If you were a monster what would you be bros?
Id be WRIGHTER a walking book wolf class monster who just annoys people with my autistic ramblings.

>>279957540
Heh, well I'd be the ultimate monster. I'd be absolute evil and humanity would need to unite to beat me. I'd taunt my enemies as I beat them up and I'd have cool horns and shit

I’d be bronze man. A man who would obsessively go to museums and galleries just to take pictures of sexy statues eventually turning into a bronze statue himself. My signature crime would be trying to have sex with statues

>>279957614
Garou...

I'm tempted to drop all 3 redraws just to show how retarded they are that'll take me like a full 3 hours.

>>279957644
Meant for>>279957540

>>279957540
I'd be a generic ugmon ahahaha

>>279957715
I wouldn't be opposed to a manga storytime after the webcomic storytime is over.
For the sake of comparison.

>>279957715
Do it. I’ve forgotten how they went. It’s a pain to track them down in order too

>>279957245
I don't get how that would work with OPM, the villains are strong enough to do whatever they want, does it, turns out they couldn't.
That's how it goes.

>>279957715
Is it that long?
Spite is a powerful motivator but man I feel tired just thinking about it.

>>279957715
might as well fill the thread so it doesn't get reused for tomorrow

>>279957245
The organization and neo heroes seem to be the most organized

>>279957789
>>279957818
>>279957836
>>279957854
Let me see if I can get the other two in a reasonable way...

>>279957245
Genus, That Man (kinda-ish), A, and Psykos all count as far as I'm concerned.

>>279958019
>That Man
Was he ever named in the webcomic?

>>279957715
Are there enough enough images left to dump it all in this thread?

>>279940977
Phew, good thing he only ripped Blue Fire's arm clean out of its socket and didn't kill him. What a softie.

>>279958246
No, hence why we always refer to him as That Man.

>>279957245
>>279958019
There's also the organization, that group of psykers that Tatsumaki went to deal with, that group of assassins that Flash went to deal with, Sonic, IDK if the group of dragon men counts, the paradisers, there's probably more I'm missing.

>>279941199
kek I love how his big shocked face is just a filler corner panel

>>279958440
I left them out since their storylines haven't been concluded yet, so we don't really know enough of them (excepting the Organization, but they're also still largely a mystery still). Sonic is barely a villain, the Dragon was essentially just a monster, and Hammerhead's crew, eh, I guess they count, but they don't really feel even remotely serious.

>>279957715
go on

>>279958664
>Dragon was essentially just a monster,
Not really, most of the members of the group seemed to be just people, only a few had dragon blood.
Also, there is a distinction even between monsters, even if they are referred to as such in general, not all of them are really monsters.
Those who are really monsters are humans who have monsterized and creatures from the environment who have been monsterized by environmental factors.
Some others aren't really monsters, they're just other intelligent beings, the subterranean folk, the deep sea folk, the sky folk, the terror lizards and the aliens all fall into this category. >>279946915
I think the dragon may fit into that category. Some are also scientific creations.

>>279959326
Isn't the OPM world supposed to be set on a very very far future or something?

>>279959326
For those who don't remember, the Ancient king was the last terror lizard, The rest were wiped out by a giant meteor.
When you think about it, some heroes like Zombie Man also fit into those modified by science, but they're on the side of the heroes so they're not considered monsters.

>>279959417
It seems that there are differences from the distant past since it seems that the race of the ancient king had some domain on the world before humanity even arose.

sperm kino tomorrow.

>>279959326
>>279959469
If you ask me, it's even a bit unfair that some serious human criminals receive better treatment than these races.

So what's Muratas end game at this point?
ONE seems to not even care about the GOD stuff and is more focused on the Organization and it being the final villains while Murata has been writing like a Schizophrenic about GOD, Ninjashit and BLAST for 5 years at this point.

>>279942874
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

>>279960189
one will circle back to god eventually, the whole neo saga has really been about building to blast's return (which is hilarious looking at the manga)

>>279952259
Personally the complaints about the Manga in these threads just felt like contrarian shitposting until Garou reached the surface.
It really was fine before that, even with the crazy Phoenixman redraws and Murata redrawing the original good Orochi fight into the lava bath meme shit. Posters were constantly bitching about the manga before the Phoenixman redraws, hell before the tournament even so it's extremely hard to take them seriously.

Psykos vs Tats was fine, all Murata had to do was have Garou reach the surface and act out the webcomic pages from there. Blast should have remained hidden/offscreen.

>>279941919
I always said that murata messed up by a making a ton of monsters and inserting a ton of heroes and making some all out war. This arc showed the frightening ability that a few dragon threats were strong enough when they organized.

>>279961766
This

I saved this image to my pc October 2015.
In 10 years the webcomic has made next to 0 progress.
Garou arc took 10 years for Murata to finish.

>>279961916
>In 10 years the webcomic has made next to 0 progress
I see, so you haven't read the webcomic in 10 years

>>279961935

>>279947023
It highlights the difference between the dragon and the other tiers. Furthermore very few monsters are willing to work together so the MA had to make do. The next arc has the heroes all splinter off and we see the parallels of how ineffective the so called heroes are due to this and how effective the monsters were with what little they had

>>279943966
Mind you these redraws were defended heavily when this first happened. For like months. It was until much later that the backlash hit full force. Murata arguably could've gotten away with it

>>279961916
Nah the WC is getting there if ONE chooses to make this his last arc

>>279961760
The tournament was unnecessary and filler made due to the anime. The anime is the true catalyst that ruined things. Before the anime OPM was so cozy and niche. Think back before 2016

>>279957715
Pls do, I stopped reading after the orocbi redraws but from what I hear the saitama vs garou fight was over the top retarded.

I remember my first time reading the webcomic in a storytime back in 2016 as I sat in anatomy class as a junior in high school trying so hard not to laugh during the king scenes. Yeah you know the ones. Here I am at 26 years old. What a life

>>279962235
If I'm allowed some honesty here, I think most around here wouldn't hate this shit as much if it wasn't for the tards defending it.

Most people just wanted to vent about how shit it was only to find a tidal wave of shit taste defending the redraws, only making the hate stronger till it drowned the defenders and left the fanbase in apathy.

>>279963180
This is true, they used to have quite the voice in OPM threads back then.

That's what Garou and Saitama's fight in the webcomic would be like if the shit webcomic was actually good.

>>279960189
>organization
>final villains
Its pretty obvious we are not at the final arc. I really don't get how someone could think that when both sonic and tatsumaki are send to side missions to take them out. We also have other questions to be answered like what genus will do with zombieman or what is pig god's deal I don't see these thing suddenly getting added to the current arc considering we should be at its climax.

>>279966963
>sonic
You mean Flash

>>279967035
Yeah kek. Was sonic even doing anything this arc? I actually forgot

>>279967153

Man, I have to admire the level of perfection of the storyline in the webcomic. On the surface it looks simple, but all the additions in the manga were unnecessary bloat that only managed to tarnish this perfection. Total efficiency without any waste or filler, exploring the world and world-building in a swift and efficient manner without too much of it.

I wish the MA arc and after had been adapted in the same way that the adaptation went up to Boros.

>>279967725
In part, it's perfect because it's made simple.

>>279967725
And even then I dislike and consider several of the changes/additions in the manga up to Boros to be bad.

I need Fubuki ass

>>279942625
>He is supposed to be discreet in appearance, what is flashy are his skills.
Flashy looks a lot less of a fuckboy and more serious compared to the manga

>>279955451
I think you mean is Phoenix Man Murata's favorite because he ends up surviving in the manga for some reaosn

>>279944009
The other controversial redraw where he kills a bunch a innocent jobbers

>>279961760
>Psykos vs Tats was fine
You retarded nigger they were cutting up pieces of the earth. It was absolutely fucking retarded

>>279943433
>bald man yells at monsters to get off his lawn

>>279943774
>I, Speed of Light Flashy Flash, who can move faster than a beam of light, no not recall boasting about my insane, unmatched speed, but I suppose I do move somewhat quickly

>>279966945
>ninja leader's entire existence in the webcomic is to be another punchline where his convoluted and cryptic master plan is immediately undone by Saitama punching him into the ground off screen
>in the manga we actually get his complicated, sentimental backstory, is a corrupted hero, and fucking Blast,- BLAST! WHOSE ENTIRE SHTICK IS NOT ACTUALLY SHOWING UP! -shows up to stop him
>then the entire thing is redrawn
I'm still completely flabbergasted that they did this. As bad as the earlier stuff was, and it was really bad, how do you fuck up the core of a plot like that?

>>279955005
WC tends to have it more snappy by cutting right to the finisher, you don't see the killing blow, you see the result. Somehow that works wonders for the impact.

>>279955005
>>279969244
Some other anon analyzed it a bit better but from recollection, when compared to >>279942739

>head flying in the incorrect direction
>in the manga his fist goes all the way through and he's closer to ripper, whereas in the wc he punches him right at the edge of his range
>in the manga he has better footing, in the wc hes leaning into it and his foot is up

So there's just little things like this that make ONE better at fight choreography than Murata

>>279960189
>So what's Muratas end game at this point?
Drawing whatever ONE tells him to. Everything will make more sense to you once you come to the realisation that ONE uses the manga to flesh the story out more.

>>279969153
>As bad as the earlier stuff was, and it was really bad, how do you fuck up the core of a plot like that?
Why do you act like the redraws matter? Nothing is canon until it's printed. Anything digital can be redone at any time.

>>279969345
oh here we are, from an older thread

>>279944464
Heroes will job next chapter. These were the folders

>>279969377
It shouldn't have happened at all, redraws or not, is my point. The original subplot was so perfect, so obvious in its structure, that seeing it completely discarded and flipped on its head, going against several core themes of the characters involved, it makes my head spin. It's shock that someone could miss the point that hard.

Earlier stuff, sans the Garou fuck up, was "merely" overly indulgent. The Ninja Leader thing is genuinely appalling. Frightening in the depths of depravity it reveals about the composition of the manga version.

>>279969397
This whole thing can be boiled down to "it's not exactly the same, therefore it's bad"

If the first version you saw was the one on the left you'd prefer that one

>>279969527
>The original subplot was so perfect
The original subplot was the webcomic version which went nowhere

>>279969539
I did see the one on the left first and I prefer the right

>>279969527
Anon I liked the original and it was definitely better than the 3 redraws retardness we got but what the fuck kind of dicksucking is this. It was basically the same gag we saw a hundred times already reiterated.

It's funny how both Fubuki and Tatsumaki are never described as pretty or attractive in-universe, while Murata's fanservice would have you believe look like fertility goddesses

>>279969670
The more I read of the WC the more I wonder if they should've been drawn so sexy
That being said, I'm glad they were

>>279969670
Murata draws all his characters like supermodels so it's not surprising

>>279969670
Tatsumaki and Amai Mask are supposed to look pretty but yeah, not that way.

>>279969707
>Tatsumaki
I meant Fubuki.

>>279969670
Fubuki was definitely drawn as a beautifull woman. Tats is 99% in her chibi form so its hard to say if she looks good normally.

>>279969670
yeah, meanwhile webigaza is outright stated to be the "hottest idol" in the webcomic
webigaza canonically outclass the psychic sisters in beauty

>>279969730
I thought it was meant as trendy

>>279969694
As someone who has never liked fan service or sex appeal in media, I sure would have preferred them being drawn more modestly to fit their designs better. Any time I see sex appeal it just feels cheap, like I'm being expected to like the material just because of that, or to overlook it's flaws. Feels manipulative
That being said, I know I'm in the minority and sexy tats/fubuki are popular, and it's not THAT big of a deal. Just annoys me slightly

>>279961760
i kinda liked the tournament but it went on way too long. but after then the manga got too meandering and a bit too self indulgent, diluting the flow of the original story. MA arc took over 7 years irl, i can watch jobbers job only for so long and the redraws made it even worse to follow.
at one point i was just going on because i wanted garou vs saitama given how much i love that fight in the web comic... and then we know what happened...

>>279969730
I think both Sweet Mask and Webigaza are meant to be the apex of beauty within the universe of OPM, also Murata's portrayals are irrelevant

>>279969539
Reading the manga first is getting your first impression raped which you cannot get back.

>>279954921
Pheonixman should have pheonix powers. The end.

>>279969561
>which went nowhere
That's the joke.

>>279969662
Fair enough. But I still think it's one of the better executions of the gag, especially because it was done so many times before.

The fact that ONE tricked me again was a great feeling. Somehow, he keeps making me forget what this story is about until he rug pulls me again. But aside from that, I think it's more important that anons are giving it credit for, and it's for the same reason the Garou fight is so good and why the manga version of it is so terrible.

The absolute, fundamental concept of the story is they all live in a goofy superhero world, but they all take it way too seriously. Take the very first fucking villain, Vaccine Man. Shows up, blows everyone up, then starts ranting like a loon about being born to cleanse the planet. Dude's a joke. And the heroes are too. Everything is do or die with these jokers. To the point where they comically reenact a cheesy saturday morning cartoon dynamic with Garou. The only character who doesn't take things serious is Saitama, who literally keeps referring to it as a hobby. The in universe explanation as to why he's so powerful is the limiter thing, but even that comes across as a joke. The actual reason why he's so powerful is cause he's the only one who never buys into the premise. He's never taking things seriously, so he's never trapped by the conventions of the conflict.

Sonic and Flash have this entire thing where they elaborate on their serious origins, indulge in their chunni ninja backstories. But it's written both conventionally and not so obviously jokey enough to act as a blind to the fact that they're just as trapped by their stories as everyone else. So certain they know exactly how things work. Then Saitama punches their problem away and doesn't even recognize he did so.

If only I could telepathically share my hatred for murata.

>>279969377
Because it shows how fucking incompetent Murata is when he’s in charge of the manga.

>>279969890
This post reminds me that I am going to make one hell of a series of effortposta when the Garou fight. So much good stuff to talk about

>>279943162
>>279943200
Huh, we get to see Rover's pupils in these pages. Only (?) time that's happened in the WC. He must have been really shocked.

>>279943372
Bang's really friendly, huh? What a hero.

>>279943433
This is the danger the prophecy warned of BTW.

>>279969397
What im taking from it is that its a miracle that Murata didn´t take his chance of drawing more shirtless Garou when he had it.

>>279941326
Poor caped baldy.

>>279969670
Fubuki is definitely meant to be attractive, but not as attractive as Murata draws her.
I would definitely debase myself for either of them, but I'd be embarrassed about it afterwards with WC Fubuki, and I'd be proud of it with Manga Fubuki.
It's a subtle distinction.

>>279969890
I think OPM's irreverent nature is a big part of why the webcomic is as funny as it is
It's the crucial difference between it and other comics of this genre
If you strip away a couple of things and add some sentimentality, give the art some polish you could turn this into a genre standard, but ONE know exactly what OPM needs and how the characters need to approach the material

>>279960189
What if Murata is actually playing 5D chess?
One Punch Man is a parody, but what is it a parody of? Shonen in general, sure, but which one specifically? None, really.
I believe that Murata set out to create an anti-parody. Or in other words, a work that seems like it could be the source material that the original is parodying, deliberately using every trope the original makes fun of unironically.

>>279943818
>>279943862
>>279943914
>>279943966
I've never read the manga or watched past S1 of the anime, and I can't even begin to imagine how this managed to be stretched out into 100 pages.

>>279971002
So the cause comes after the effect, which is really the effect of what the effect which is actually the cause, this is some mind bending stuff.

>>279955015
he's also one of the heroes with the best morals for some reason

>>279971002
An interesting proposition, but I doubt Murata is good enough at storytelling to do that. However, he's not supposed to be the ONE who's making the manga's story right?
So what if Murata has been following ONE's story down to a T this whole time?

>>279968643
Yeah, his whole deal is that he's totally straight-laced and almost robotically driven in his goals and morals. It lets him play off really well off both the more emotional Sonic, and Saitama, who just doesn't give a shit.
Much of the webcomic's humor is just ONE writing these completely sincere archetypes and having them clash against Saitama, who is horribly incongruent with the rest of the setting and breaks all the conventions.
It works really well, because he can just do unironic sincere shounen stuff whenever Saitama's not on screen and get people invested in the struggles of those other heroes (Mumen vs Suiryu and Ryumon vs A are absolute peak, without ever losing the gag tone, which is just one punch away at all times.

>>279969827
That garou manga panel is frightening and well drawn but doesn't fit garou or the scene

>>279971002
>>279971236
MuraGODs... I should have never doubted /our duo/...

>>279944838
Also emphasized the difference between demon and dragon tier monsters. S heros are supposed to be able to take on demon tier no problem.

The MA was to address that since in theory multiple demon together levels could in theory overwhelm some s tier heros

>>279971002
Haha, no. Murata is just fucking retarded. ONE literally had to explain to him why he shouldn't draw Saitama to be really good looking.

>>279941387
>"a complex"
So did handsome mask has become a monster because of his ugly complex+justice complex. Which somehow kept him partially sane unlike a normal monster, since he has 2 complexes?

>>279944855
I tihnk the demarcation point is the Garou vs the A class heroes. It's the best fight he drew and then immediarely afterwards you get a retarded centipede fight

dead series. Just give it up.

>>279944855
On its own i think it was really fucking good even, but Jesus fucking Christ Murata needs to be stopped redrawing every other chapter. I don´t think people even remember which fights are the ones that were the final version.

>>279971735
>dead
>even doe this is one of the few storytimes/dailies to get 400 replies in a day

>>279969827

>>279971802
Somehow this is even more cringe than the manga.

>>279971812
GoldenSmurf is pretty ass, that too is a fact.

>>279971821

Reminder the reason Murata gave Tatsumaki a sheboon ass was because redditors were angry and calling him a pedo

Since we are at the final point where manga is even remotly defendable I should give my praise to manga for few things before all of us make fun of it.
I really like how it expanded on side characters with extra chapters and added guys like suiryu and glasses to the verse. I honestly wouldn't really care about a good portion of the side cast if it werent for spending more time with them on the manga. Honestly WC up to this point feels incredibly rushed.
I really fucking liked the tourney. On that note I really liked most of the additions except for orochi.
I like the character designs in the manga and find most of them fitting but sometimes it gets that persona problem of 'everything looking so good the character that is supposed to look exceptionally good looks plain'. This also goes for the villains that needs to have a distinct look from others like Boros' crew and Garou.
I also liked small things like how the backgrounds fleshed the world. To this day saitama's abandoned apartmentis ICONIC to me.

>>279971963
I did not prefer a single addition to the manga, I would say I like the Garou vs A class fight comes close but the Smiley hero being le actually bad just felt corny like murata.
I loathe murata so much. I want to cave his face in or break his fingers at the very least.

>>279945426
This is accurate

How can the webcomic even compete?

>'what if we just removed everything that made Garou good, character assassinated him, and shoehorned LE GOD powers to make him epic!' - Murata while fingering himself

>>279972588
Xitterfags mindlessly praising the manga really pisses me off

>>279942702
>(Yo
>u)

>>279941326

It feels weird that no threat up to this day has ever been labeled God-level even though the term has been there since the beginning.
We're used to fans saying that some villains can count as God-level, but nothing inside of OPM is explicitly stated as such (and no I refuse to believe that "Dragon or Above" translate to God)

>>279954921
>What the fuck was Murata thinking?
Murata wants to write, not just draw. and every attempt of his so far has been a failure. inserting his fanfic into OPM is pretty much his only opportunity.

>>279952619
Maybe drawing robots is Murata's secret passion. Bamco should get him to draw some gundam spinoff

>>279945426

>>279972846
That's what I've been saying, forget about the God-level threat, it's none of your concern.
Even Boros and Garou are both dragon level, demon level is a very high disaster level just below the aforementioned dragon level.

>>279973039
Fucking Murata is an idiot
No wonder everything he's ever tried to write on his own is a failure

Why Murata hates Amai that much again?

Imagine being a Murata apologist

>>279971254
At this point Gori-senis closer to OPM's webcomic than OPM.

>>279973205
>Mirata: I wonder what Zenko thinks about her own brother, did she thinks he is a big hero too? But she is still too naive, seeing that she is Amai Mask's fans shows that she still didn't realize her brother's heroic spirit. A girl who can see through the true nature of things is not going to like Amai Mask.
> Murata: I'm drawing a very beautiful version of Sweet Mask so hopefully I'll hate him less. He's my least favorite OPM character.
> Q: Do you like Sweet Mask more after the recent chapters?
Murata: He still annoys me, he's strong but so far he's just a mouthpiece. ONE sensei has added more fights involving Sweet Mask later this arc, maybe people will see a different side of Sweet Mask then

>>279973205
IDK, he seems to envision him as a Korean, which the Japanese apparently dislike.

>>279973269

>>279973305
He probably envisions him as Korean because he dislikes him.

Murata must be living his dream shoving his self insert fanfic version of Blast into all OPM and shitting on Sweet Mask. Also doing his fanservice and modifying the characters as he likes.
I may not like what he's done with OPM, but at least he's sincere and doing what he really likes, I guess. I can understand and respect that to some extent.

>>279943818
It's weird that this is literally the only time we even see phoenix man. In the manga he carried Garou to safety before the endless redraw fight.

>>279973269
>artists get inspired by things and use references
Woah

>>279973269
He's rather niggardly, ain't he?

>>279973271
>Gori-sen
what a legend

>>279971685
>S heros are supposed to be able to take on demon tier no problem.
I don't think that's necessarily a given.
Deep Sea King was never stated as more than Demon but beat both Prisoner and Genos, and Devil Long Hair was Demon, too, but despite ostensibly having S-class abilities, the swordsmen greatly struggled against him even in a three-on-one.
I think the strongest Demons are a little above the weakest S-class at this point in the story, at least, and it's only the higher ranks who really crush the Demons, and it's probably only Blast, Tatsumaki, Bang, Darkshine, and King who can comfortable deal with Dragons solo even without good compatibility.

>>279971685
>>279973990
They had an entire chapter talking about the inaccuracies of the rank system and how some are defeated too soon or evolve mid-battle for rapid updates.

>>279973822
He literally traced the shoe.

>>279973778
He did the same here. We just didn't see him doing it.

>>279973269
what the fug

>>279971771
Only the first and second versions of this fight in the manga were any good, the third and final version ruined Child Emperor's character, made him more incompetent, made him need to be saved by Saitama multiple times and he started to be portrayed in an extremely childish and naive way that wasn't how he was supposed to be from then on.
It also ruined the interesting addition of the subterraneans in the background by making it shit and it also ruined the likability and badassery that the Phoenix Man had gained in the first versions.

Saitama saved Child Emperor 4 times there by my count, the first by invading Phoenix Man's space, the second by preventing the phoenix man from finishing off Child Emperor, the third by saving him from the ninjas and the fourth by saving him from Orochi, all while being looked down on by Child Emperor himself, who was grateful to Zombieman like a naive, dumb child looking up to an adult instead.
This turned Child Emperor, who was supposed to be the leader of the operation and hero number 5, into someone extremely incompetent for his position, which he wasn't in both the web comic and the previous versions of the manga that showed his great competence and intelligence that made him worthy of being hero number 5 and a leader.
.

>>279971771
>>279975122
And all the ideas for these redraws came from Murata, as ONE later confirmed. It's really like him to write such shit.

>>279975122
>>279975226
Like, he literally saw Saitma one-shot 2 S-class criminals in front of him and save him, but didn't have any doubts about his abilities? In the webcomic, the S-class heroes instantly realize Saitama's abilities when they actually see them.

>>279975293
>the S-class heroes instantly realize Saitama's abilities when they actually see them.
Come on man, they cope to hell and back about it there too. Hell, only Amai mask fully acknowledeges it and lets saitama's power influence his world outlook

>>279975442
Zombieman also recognizes his power and it was only Amai Mask and Zombieman who saw him fight Garou.
Also, I didn't say that they recognize its power completely, they recognize that he is strong and worthwhile.
Flashy Flash, for example, may not have recognized that he is stronger than himself, but he didn't even see Saitama fight Garou and still recognized that he is strong and full of potential.

>>279975498
Zombieman also fully acknowledeges it*

>>279973288
>Murata: He still annoys me, he's strong but so far he's just a mouthpiece. ONE sensei has added more fights involving Sweet Mask later this arc, maybe people will see a different side of Sweet Mask then
Also Murata: Time to remove all of Sweet Mask's later fights and make his original one only serve to make him look like a psycho.
>>279975293
That's because Murata's adaptation still follows the main webcomic beats, so characters who are still ignorant of Saitama there remain as such for bad reasons, while the ones in the know like Mask and Zombieman come to that conclusion through vague, second-hand information from Genos and just fully believe it without properly witnessing it because those scenes just don't exist in the manga despite being so cool.

>>279975498
And the others like Bang and Fubuki (except Flashy Flash who is delusional) recognized his power in the measure they saw it.

>>279975533
Which makes them bad additions, they turn good writing into bad.
That's also not the only bad thing about redraws, that's just part of it, if that was all I wouldn't complain about it. I would have just taken it as a joke or something at most.

>>279941723
>intentionally interrupts the fight
>asks if they finished the fight
I don't think this guy is too bright

>>279975623
about these* redraws
It's the situation as a whole that made me point this out as one of its negative factors.

>>279942336
would PPP actually molest a child

>>279975573
Oh, and other heroes like Blue, Suiryu, Suiko, the group of 3 A-class heroes (2 of whom didn't even see him fight Tatsumak) all also immediately recognize what they see or hear of his abilities.

>>279975498
Zombieman and Amai Mask's regeneration was really useful in allowing them to witness the fight.

>>279954583
I feel like the final arc is being setup, with Saitama himself acting as the final boss. He's the absolute and the standard Garou was trying to achieve and is slowly dismantintling the association without even bothering, and i think his action will cause people to become paranoid. With Blast being the actual villain, tying into the theme of the source of madness being humans trying to control their environment.

>>279975830
If Blast is written like how I'm guessing, then when he shows up in the WC it will be the end. My guess for Blast is he's a guy of comparable strength to Saitama, or is just another strong hero, but he got disillusioned. So rather than being a full on hero, he's the thematic foil to Saitama and more of the conclusion point of the themes that ONE is trying to get across with the story. There's a lot of ways it could go but if Blast really is just a disillusioned, middle aged Saitama equivalent then the two of them reconciling would be a nice ending.

>(2 of whom didn't even see him fight Tatsumak)
They don't really buy into it until they actually witness Saitama fight Machine God Mirror, either.
But yeah, for most heroes, seeing it is enough to believe it. Even Metal Knight, from the recording against his robots.

>>279975122
Oh, and that fight that was great, entertaining and flowed well dropped a lot in quality and became shit.

>>279976120
Yeah, I forgot about that, when you think about it Flashy Flash also accidentally tested Saitama's abilities in the MA arc before recognizing that he's strong, it wasn't just the news that made him recognize it.

>>279971771
>>279975122
That's what makes it so painful, it was one of the best additions to the webcomic we ever saw.
It showcased monsterization, gave us more of the SClass hero that planned the raid, It was a well paced and entertaining fight, had great panels and set pieces and ended up in a good way.

The need to put Saitama or change what already worked was dumb, if they really wanted to save phoenix man or have the chick/penguin they could have only changed the end of the fight after the coronation scene without Saitama being involved.

Part of what made the fight great was that almost no one knew it happened and gives us a reason why CE has nothing that could harm Garou as he spent it beforehand.

As I said, it is so annoying how it kept getting worse.

>>279953791
>>>>>>>>friends

>>279977518
People who focus on the detail and not the composition and paneling, of which the latter two sub-skills of drawing are pretty much overlooked by the general audience. ONE doesn't have any keys to jangle, even if he IS getting better. It is difficult to appreciate legibility because it is something that is not meant to be the focus of a piece. A shame, really.

It's not they, it was all Murata's idea, ONE literally went and commented on it on his account.

>>279977270
>>279977763
As if that wasn't enough, Murata tweeted that ONE is being humble and that they discussed and created together and then ONE said that he gave ideas, but that none of his ideas were used.

You know, if this was the manga Earth would be at risk of destruction every time he sneezes or farts.

>>279977763 (me)
Just to make it clear, I'm talking about the redraws, that was all Murata's idea, not the first version.

>>279952507
On a reread, I think it was to blance power levels. Some of the stuff Pheonix man did could beat most other S-classes, and Muratta wanted to put Child emp into a tech spec position instead of do everything with tech.

ENTER PHOENIX MAN

SO STRONG HE KILLED THE MANGA AND THE ANIME HYPE

>>279978162
>>279978186
I doubt that's why, even more so with the feats Murata gave Genos and Tatsumaki soon after or was it before?
It seems more like he was trying to inflate power levels, he even went and let Metal Bat fight together with Garou against Sage Centipede, which doesn't make any sense, he created sage centipede and evil natural ocean, and increased Orochi in terms of power level while decreasing the rest of the story's quality.

Also, Child Emperor had already lost all his resources so he couldn't use that in battle, in fact it just showed that he's competent enough to be number 5.

It seems more like Murata wanted to give Saitama the feats of breaking inside dimensions and mental spaces.

>>279978177
That's a change that doesn't get as criticised as much as it should. It genuinely just invalidated the entire premise of the Neo Heroes arc when the HA was actually fighting against a threat that might wipe out humanity and not some clean-up operation gone wrong.

Zombieman is incredibly cool in both the WC and the manga. This fight is really fucking good in Murata's version as well.

He doesn't even seem like he belongs in this universe to be honest. He could be the protagonist of his own series.
>>279944437
Remember the Boros fight. Boros boasted that Saitama would get tired and his wounds would accumulate over time while he would always be at his peak.

>>279978431
>he even went and let Metal Bat fight together with Garou against Sage Centipede, which doesn't make any sense,
Oh yeah, now I know why he did it, he really likes Metal Bat >>279973288 there's another comment where he complains about Metal Bat not taking action or something.

>>279941387
Japanese ideology at its best, the system is absolute but if you salaryman your best you will get everything and give meaning to your life finally. In the end you get nothing and only perpetuate the system.

>>279977270
In any case, you can consider the first version of the fight in the manga as coming from ONE and the others as coming from Murata considering what they said here >>279977763 >>279977852 >>279977928

>>279973288
>A girl who can see through the true nature of things is not going to like Amai Mask
Yeah, I have no room to blame Murata for this misjudgement of Amai, I and many others were very guilty of this too.
>drawing very beautiful[...] Sweet mask so hopefully I'll hate him less
Amazing how hard this plan fell apart once things started to crumble.
>>279978652
>>>give meaning to your life finally
Except this didn't happen to Saitama at all? It just made him slowly grow bored with his hobby and continuing to dream of experiencing the highs he did when he was starting out like a junkie reminiscing about his first smoke until external circumstances shifted him.

>>279975442
Besides Fubuki, Mumen Raider, Genos, King and Bang, Zombieman and Amai Mask acknowledged his power as soon as they saw him fight Garou (they were the only ones to see him fight Garou). Then later on Tatsumaki as soon as she went 1v1 against him.

The only one in denial is Flashy Flash and to some extent Sonic.

Where's Uploady Dumper?

>>279978788
ONE's solution to the dilemma is that it is preferable to be meaningless but strong rather than simply meaningless in life.
I don't like it very much because I find it unbelievable that even in fiction you can't escape Japanese ideology.

>>279978927
>The only one in denial is Flashy Flash and to some extent Sonic.
And even Flashy Flash recognizes that he is very strong and has a lot of potential, he just refuses to acknowledge that he is stronger than himself, so in his case it's also only to some extent, but a greater extent than Sonic.
Suiryu, Blue, Suiko, the 3 S-class heroes, and Metal Knight also recognized what they saw.

>>279977270
>webcomic introduces power suits that mind control their wearer
>shortly after, Murata rewrites Phoenix Man an ability to "control costumes" (hero uniforms and power armour count)

easy bet he comes back in some way for the Neo Heroes arc

Woah, I had almost forgotten for a moment that offices and salaries don't exist outside of Japan haha. It's truly an us vs them issue. Thanks for reminding.

>>279981815
No I was being serious, we can ignore the manga completely for all I care. I just want to see what anons think the webcomic could have been better at other than the finesse of the art.

OP is a jobber

>>279981883

Either bait or a fucking retard. Fuck off and stop bringing up the Manga. This is the wc thread

>>279971694
Wait really?! If true this explains everything

>>279981848
The difference is the Eastern approach to order thanks to confusionism versus the pursuit of freedom in the West.
You can see it in the Japanese saying "The nail that sticks out, ends up hammered"
While in the West we seek monetary/state/even identity freedom.

>>279975708
Yes. I have no doubt he would.

>>279960189
I think when Murata looked at OPM, he saw a conventional shounen and completely missed the point.
He didn't understand that Saitama was so far out of Boros's league that Boros could only really push him back a little.
He didn't understand that Child Emperor dispatching Phoenixman so easily was meant to show how competent the S rank heroes are in their own right, that they can curbstomp even demon rank threats.
He didn't understand that Tatsumaki is supposed to be a little gremlin woman and drew her as an erotic shortstack more often than not.

>>279983486
>He didn't understand that Tatsumaki is supposed to be a little gremlin woman and drew her as an erotic shortstack more often than not
I forgive this one

>>279977270
>That's what makes it so painful, it was one of the best additions to the webcomic we ever saw.
Virgin Emperor was also the best one to show in an extended struggle since he's the one who relies on smarts and tech over brawn, so him not getting a stomp on his opponent and getting stuck on the defensive until he could outwit his opponent doesn't make him look weaker since it fits just fine with his skillset, like how Zombieman has to outlast his opponent since his main asset is bullshit levels of regeneration while his offensive strength is sorely lacking.

>>279983486
> He didn't understand that Child Emperor dispatching Phoenixman so easily was meant to show how competent the S rank heroes are in their own right, that they can curbstomp even demon rank threats.
He understood that, CE also curbstomped base PM in the same way in the manga.
The problem is that his powercreep shonen brain decided that PM absolutely needed a twist where he’s actually a potential high dragon with a broken resurrection power. Which ruined the simple but clear pattern of the original with the cadres.

>>279969670
Fubuki is definitely beautiful. Tatsumaki is too but since she looks like a child and ONE is not a lolicon it's not emphasized.

>>279983269
So when Westerners rigidly obey orders and bureaucracy of their big company they do this for "freedom". When they punish dissidents, this is not a case of "The nail that sticks out, ends up hammered". This is because they have that saying but you don't have that saying.
You've to be a npc to believe that.
There are Eastern people who don't believe in Confucianism, or they tell you not to just believe whatever they say. These guys are less npc and have more "individualism" than you.

>>279983554
>Virgin Emperor was also the best one to show in an extended struggle since he's the one who relies on smarts and tech over brawn, so him not getting a stomp on his opponent and getting stuck on the defensive until he could outwit his opponent doesn't make him look weaker since it fits just fine with his skillset, like how Zombieman has to outlast his opponent since his main asset is bullshit levels of regeneration while his offensive strength is sorely lacking.
This too, the pacing was great as CE started to run out of options and PM was getting more bullshit powers as the fight went on.

It was an incredible showcase of a lot of things that makes shounen manga so enjoyable.
