Saitama vs Garou
>>280128612 Part 1
>>280131443 Part 2

blast

>>280134394 (OP)
you gonna continue or do you end there?

>>280134452
we're only a little half way through the webcomic and there's plenty of kino left

I don't think this is necessary

Garou was in the right and it was wrong for Saitama to stop him.

I need Fubuki ass

Garou seems like a virgin. No man who's had sex would act or speak the way he does.

>>280134339
>>280134350
Flashy Flash didn't see the fight, he only got the news and believed in his capabilities to some extent because he tested him first.

>>280134484
I missed the threads because of work

What Murata did to the fight should be considered a human rights violation.

>>280134534
I can tell you are on of those stubborn reddit autists so I'm not going to bother further with this.

>>280134678
I posted it here because I thought you wouldn't see my comment in the other thread retard and then you replied to me in the other thread, proving that there was no point in posting here.

>>280134481
Then let's keep rolling

>>280134678
And I'm not from Reddit, Where the hell did you get that from? I acknowledged your point. I hadn't seen the panel of Garou and Saitama facing off in Flash's mind before, I'd missed that part.

I just skimmed through whatever scans I could on mangadex and what?
What is the point of this whole element?

>>280134484
this is way better than 20 different 20-reply threads over the course of the next day made by people who missed the dump

>>280135191
So people can technically say the time travel isn’t completely erasing everything that happened during their fight and is important even though it was just cheap spectacle.

Genuinely what is wrong with Murata?

>>280135357
His loyalty lies more in pleasing the reddit powerscaling fanbase than the webcomic's storyline

>>280135191
Who knows. Murata seemed to have some kind of big plan with blast, but he seems to have been forced by someone to sideline that for now and focus on the Neo Heroes after all the shitty rewrites.

>>280135357
terminal marvelism

>>280134394 (OP)
What a shit fight. This is how it should have been.

>>280135516
Are you going to post this every thread? I get that you're proud of it and it's kinda funny, but it's getting annoying at this point.

>>280135550
I'm not the one who posted in the previous thread.

>>280135562
>>280135566

>>280135582
Kino

>>280134908
disable canvas blocker, download the extension instead. you on librewolf?

>>280135582
That whole sequence was some of the most putrid shit. Wish Murata had actually stuck with the table talk at the end to maybe have an actual interesting ending to that shit, but noooooope we need powerlevel wanking.

>>280135684
the alienware led light design is shit but whatever but what's the point of the exposed eye

>>280135582
>>280135684
manga monster garou is not unique like the WC, he's just a skinny reskin of venom from spiderman

Genuinely, I didn't find the whole Garou thing that great. It's still much better than the shit manga though. But I don't think it's such a "kino" or whatever.

I had forgotten that these jobbers appeared just to get brutally murdered.
Also, I don't want to continue reading this because I know it's getting even worse after the botched Golden Sperm.
>>280135702
It's the "subtle" hint that he's not really a monster.

>>280135614
firefox, no canvas blocker

>>280135719
Fucked up how the scraggly webcomic has all this talking and philosophy while the epic serious manga has Saitama's dingaling out.

>>280134309
>>280134342
>>280134359
It wouldn't be that bad as a completely new, not Blast character.

>>280135684
It just doesn't work as well when Garou looks like he could fit in with most monsters of S-Class heroes
Saitama being vaguely confused works far better with his weird, indefinable demon form

>>280134484
I'm not on 4chan all day

>>280135872
YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT

>>280135357
He's mediocre at everything manga-related other than the art itself

>>280134394 (OP)
I think OPM could be much more popular if Murata had actually adapted it right. It could even be among the most popular manga of the moment if that had been the case.

>>280135731
You're entitled to your opinion, but I don't think many people are going to agree with you in this kind of thread. Also you're not even pointing up what you disliked.

>>280135769
>you were awesome Garou
>unironically
Holy shit. That's so bad.

>>280135987
I didn't dislike it, I just didn't think it was great.

HOW

>>280135987
>>280136012
I just didn't think it was that* great
But I still liked it.

>>280136009
>Garou was the coolest guy

>>280136012
>>280136043
If you didn't think it was a 10/10 it's because you thought it was shit and you must justify yourself.

How many more seasons do you think its going to take the anime to finish Monster Association? 1 or 2? Honestly, the manga surface battle is such a clusterfuck you could do half a cour off that alone.

>>280135731
I'm fine as long as you prefer WC over manga

>>280136036
That's what pure kino does

>>280136077
That's for sure, I FUCKING HATE that damn manga.

>>280136036
Sometimes, like once every 2 years, /a/ reminds you of how good things used to be
God, I miss the Baki storytime.

I need to read the manga version now and see all the changes

>>280136160
No, you don't need it. Trust me.

>>280135719
>>280135746
>>280135769
this shit baffles me because part of the whole thing during their fight, and i'm pretty sure these lines are kept in the manga, is that saitama has absolutely no form and gets by simply by punching hard. why would garou assume that he's able to copy his ultimate level time travel martial arts technique?

>>280136071
There’s literally no way they finish it in this season unless they skip 80%. It feels like they have hyping up Garou vs Saitama in marketing but is literally impossible for that to happen this season. I’m not even sure they could reach it in a hypothetical season 4. (If that ever happens once this one inevitably flops)

>>280136160
I was going to reread it after this but now I genuinely never want to look at it again

>>280134394 (OP)
wait what happened why is this broken into multiple threads?

Personally, I think Manga Monster Garou is a cooler design (albeit, not when it cracks like armor or makes cutesy faces). But I also think another reason for the change was that Orochi just ate his lunch. Horns with a mask. This just looks like an inferior attempt to ape Orochi in manga continuity.
Though wether Orochi was even a good addition to the plot is another can of wyrms.

I know it's a thread dedicated to the webcomic but reading it as a manga enjoyer it's not really that great. It doesn't help that it's drawn like shit, the story is only better through the sheer virtue of the manga doing retarded shit like cosmic garou and time travel, but neither are truly great.

>>280136366
bro can't count

>>280136380
>with a mask
Don't remind me of that, Orochi didn't wear a mask originally, I hated how Murata ruined Orochi in the redraw and the fusion with Psykos.

>>280136437
>>with a mask
>Don't remind me of that, Orochi didn't wear a mask originally,
Wait, really? So the anime wasn't being lazy with the purple silhouette?

>>280136550
Murata also ruined some of ONE's additions with redraws. Of course, they were already affected by Murata's influence before, but it got much worse when he started the MA raid redraws.

This is Orochi's fight with Saitama before Murata redraw ruins it by ruining Orochi even more than he did in the fusion with Psykos.

This is after the redraws
https://cubari.moe/read/gist/OPM/112/1/

>>280136697
honestly at this point discussing the manga is like an autopsy

Normalfags are going to eat up the manga shit when it gets animated

>>280136779
No we won't, but that's only because it's gonna be low budget slop

>>280135357
He thinks OPM is a battle shonen with comedy elements, rather than a comedy based on battle shonens.
I have had people tell me, with zero irony, that OPM isn't a parody anymore.

>>280136779
>>280136791
You know, I honestly often have to doubt whether normalfags are even human.

>>280136697
God skimming through the redraw is bad enough on its on but those final pages almost made me fucking laugh
What a hack

>>280136779
i don't understand anyone who thinks the manga is better
do they just look at the pictures and skip all the text?

>>280136864
The manga looks good and the fight sequences are well done, despite the story being shit at times it's a decent read.

>>280136779
This season won’t have as much of what normies like about opm. Saitama and the jokes. Whatever mediocre animation they make of the fights is doing all the legwork this season. Powerscalers and shonentards might like it I guess.

>>280136697
What the hell is this shit?

>>280136779
Normalfags already eat up the manga slop. Shit there are a bunch of normies in this storytime posting their KEKAROO GAROU BTFO shit and reaction images.

>>280137020
Honestly, Murata's writing is far below the standard of the vast majority of shonen actually. That's how bad it is.
People who like that nowadays have to be put through a test to see if they're even human.

>>280137082
Energy sucked from the planet's core.

>>280136697
Murata ruined a great chapter and turned both Saitama and Orochi into clowns instead.

>>280135357
He should read Gori-sen for a better feel of OPM.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Sdq2ZPesbQ

I've not looked at the manga since the Tatsumaki vs Saitama chapters that ended up being pure shipper fuel.
Is it on hiatus? I never see it posted on /a/ anymore but maybe I'm missing the threads.

>>280137122
Yeah, I got that part.

>>280134516
What would it take for Murata to deliver?

>>280134532
True, but also no man who's had sex would put so much value in sex anyway.

>>280131433
>>280131840

The first time I read the webcomic, I thought that whole thing was amazing. Saitama's strength and non-chalant attitude, Garous basically coming out and saying he wanted the perfect hero he couldn't be without realising, even begging Saitama to be that and justify his strength.

But then I read it again, not this time around but another re-read, and understand that the point is that his idea of being pure evil and an enemy to the world is nonsense exactly because, simply, somebody stronger exists; it hangs completly of nobody overpowering you, and that's always the issue with strength as a solution: the moment somebody that's opposed to you is stronger, then no matter how "right" you are, you lose. Because it was a match of strength, not of logic or morals.

Garou world view was childish, but the insane world they lived in enabled him to almost pull it off regardless and have people play along, willing or not. It took somebody even more insane to stop it all; Saitama.

Maybe this is obvious, but I wanted to put it in words.

>>280134394 (OP)
it's unfortunate how without actual pages of the webcomic to talk about these threads just turn into 100% manga seethe. not a single bit of interesting conversation happening. and before some fudgepacker asks me why i don't start an interesting discussion it's because i'm too stupid and i lurk here to see other smarter people talk.

>>280137523
Ideally this thread would be anyone who was late to the party getting to share their reactions and thoughts to the dump, but afterparties don't really get used for that purpose.

>>280136697
Was skimming through these chapters and wow Murata really wants to have unprotected sex with sonic huh. has there ever been a gayer mangaka?

>>280137639
He was also the one who turned Sonic and Flash into that in the manga. They were supposed to be respectable-looking dudes, I hate what he's done to their appearance no matter what anyone else says.

>>280137515
Yes, good summary, that’s why he just goes and gets a regular fucking job after this too.

>>280137687
And the reason I hate what he's done with their appearance so much is precisely because I really like the characters in the webcomic.

>>280136945
yes, they think like this: "bad" art < good art, paneling, dialogues, etc don't matter at all.

>>280137515
>>280137555

I came in to do that; i was working all day and missed the thread. Now I am kind of sad.

Still, it's fun to see other people gush over what I enjoyed reading.

>>280137716
Exactly that was what really made me understand the point. I want more chapters of the webcomic so bad lately, I know ONE takes his time and always delivers thanks to that, but this last arc has gotten really good too by now.

Looking forward to reading it with anon in the future.

>>280134394 (OP)
Okay so I just read it and i don't get why murata decided to deviate so much from the WC. It's already pretty good. I get him adding new fights of S class vs MA but Garou vs Saitama was so good so why change it?

>>280137639
It’s most likely fujo pandering

>>280137523
There's not much to discuss because these are pretty old chapters, and even then Garou is contentious enough. I think the more recent developments in the WC will garner more discussion, a lot has happened

>>280135582
I fucking forgot about this. I liked Garou vs Metal Bat (genuinely a good chapter) but bloating the arc more by having them team up and banter fighting centipede felt so fucking stupid

Someone actually made a diss track because of how much he hates sage centipede

>>280137847
Either One was tard wrangling him until the monster association breach or murata got up his own ass on his revisions. Given all the redraws, I feel like it's the latter. Dude has some kind of mental thing going on where enough is never enough.

>>280136197
It could happen maybe if they stick to the webcomic version. Would be too good to be true though.

>>280138088
Orochi is already in the show

>>280138110
He wouldn’t be too much of an issue if Saitama takes him out before Tastumaki pulls the MA base out of the ground.

>>280136697
I never knew Murata redrew Saitama vs Orochi. The redraw reads like a hardcore flanderization. I think a major strength of One Punch Man was the parody/satirical concept presented in a serious story in a serious way. The first version represents that, the redraw is just parody.

>>280138202
Even if they were to avoid other additions like cosmic and platinum (still seems unlikely), there is zero chance they aren't going for Psychorochi

I haven't read anything one punch man related in 3 years. Couldn't even finish the Garou vs Saitama fight. God I fucking hate the manga and Murata.

>>280138248
not even the webcomic? dude you'll never guess who the mad cyborg was

>>280137639
I can’t find Sonic cool after he was made a twink

>>280138272
Yeah dropped everything OPM.

They revealed who the mad cyborg is? I sense a sarcastic tone in your comment

>>280138415
yeah I'm just joking, one keeps ending chapters with genos flying towards metal knight's base

>webcomic
>camera pans down to garou's sneakers while he's raging out for a panel to highlight the fact he's LARPing
>manga
>give garou a dumb fucking hole in his form to show a human eye for almost the entire fucking arc

So this... is the power of shonenbabs....

>>280139193
you can't expect too much of them

>>280138088
Even if somehow a competent director and studio were willing to try to fix the clusterfuck that the manga is, I doubt the production committee would approve it because it would be bad for the volume sales and disrespectful to Murata or something.
>>280138245
In my delusional fantasies Psychorochi could happen without affecting too much the events of the webcomic if the whole fight happens underground, Tatsumaki pulls the base out the ground and squeezes it simultaneously to destroy the roots, and beats her enough to return her to a semi-human form but doesn't get to obliterare her because of the intervention of the rest of the dragons.

>>280136697
I hate this redraw the most. Saitama behaving like a retard while a giant flaming monster is talking about killing him is so stupid.

>>280139193
Him acting all buddy buddy with Metal Bat to defeat evil monsters and save helicopters was too subtle.

>>280137254
We're in ninja redraw hell.

>>280139473
Murata completely flanderized Saitama.
He also turned Orochi into a complete clown whereas he was likable before.

>>280138088
Too ridiculous. Season 3 is coming out in October, marking ten years since Season 1. They've commit themselves to carrying out the manga despite the waning interest, the weakened manpower, and the dubious canon.

Ten years is such an absurd timeframe, how the fuck is it so mismanaged. We got JoJo Parts 1-6 over the course of ten years. The entire Dragon Ball anime from Goku and Bulma crashing into each other to Goku flying off with Uub was ten years. Season 1 was a magnificent flash in the pan and everything else can't escape from its massive shadow.

>>280140139
Who cares about Caped Baldy? Didn't you see the mural? It has GOD.

Reading the webcomic again with the anons and after i've coomed enough to tats it's easy to see how murata's script ruins the story.
Even tats should not be that sexy, it's not fitting to the story.
I still wish murata had drawn the thing following the proper story.

Was the main reason why it took season 3 so long to be announced because they wanted to wait enough chapters were in volumes so they wouldn’t have any worry about redraws? And maybe just in general until the arc was close to being finished.

>>280140353
>Even tats should not be that sexy

I disagree, but I also think he should have drawn her like a drooling lunatic when she was seething at Saitama in that one panel.

>>280140423
which?

>>280140353
Knowing that the manga’s version of fubuki and tatsumaki are way more generic and flanderized even though you’ve lost gallons to them is truly a tough cross to bear…

>>280140460
I guess I don't have it, but it was when she was yelling at him asking why she'd run away from someone weaker than her. I think.

>>280135769
this was character rape

Would you guys rather have a manga redraw of the original WC, or the original WC animated?

Literally wtf happened to Murata after the base lift, why does Garou look so half assed right after this

>>280140790
I'd kinda like to see what OPM would look like if the Versus/Tenkaichi artist did it.

>>280140790
The MA arc animated in the style of Mob would be pretty great.

>>280135872
What are you even doing with your life? Smh.

>>280140462
I really liked Tats being sexy between the gremlin panels, but for some reason that started to happen less then disappeared in the redraws.

I'd say I'd forgive Murata if he drew 100 pages of Tatsumaki and Fubuki Yuri.
But hed probably find a way to include in it his slop fetishes.

there is only one version of this story
someone redrawing t on a fan-doujin does not make it canon or turn this series into a "2 version series"
no, there is nothing you can say or argue that will change this absolute axiom

there is no "WC version"
there is only One Punch Man by ONE

>>280141533
Well, the "fan-doujin" gets taken pretty seriously in this case because it's an officially published manga, whereas the source material is a webcomic.

So it’s pretty obvious that Garou’s peak was much stronger than Boros, right? Did this debate only start because of the moon kick?

>>280141787
debatable. I think Saitama viewed Boros as a monster rather than as a human and went harder on him than Garou

>>280141627
The webcomic hasn't been a "source material" in almost a decade and the official fan-fiction is undoubtedly dying.
ONE could easily revive OPM to it's all time high, the highest even at anytime he wants.
Can't say the same for the fan-fiction.

For me the worst thing about Murata's redraws is not even the contents themselves but how they keep retconning and changing the story.

I could normally cope with poor execution by reasoning that it's part of some larger plan that might be satisfying once it reaches its conclusion. But I can't do that if Murata constantly changes major plot points on a whim, showing he has no grand plan.

>>280136043
I would be intsrested in hearing your opinion desu. I don't find it the best fight in manga or whatever either but it was as good a fight could be whit what opm had

>>280141904
they make the manga hard to follow, how is anyone not obsessively keeping track of the plot supposed to remember what is canon and what was retconned away?
it's also bad for scanlation sites, how do i know which site has the most "up to date" chapters?

>>280141904
It was hell to follow weekly but I bet parts like Phoenix man are much better in volume format
The changes forcing god and blast into later parts were the hardest to stomach for me

>>280142052
By only reading the tanks.
>>280142085
The final version of the Phoenix Man is the worst one, it's both stupid and boring.

>>280142052
you're supposed buy the manga volumes for the canon version

>>280138295
Early Sonic was pretty cool

>>280140353
Fubuki and Tats being sexy is literally the one thing the manga has going for it

>>280140790
I just want the webcomic run through an AI filter and then animated like what essentially happened with season 1
Sure, it'd be better for a Human to do it, but since the one assigned to the job fucked up so thoroughly I'm fine giving it to a robot

>>280137115
To be fair, the fact that even the biggest normalfags here can actually understand Garou is being BTFO despite Saitama mostly just using words already puts our normalfags miles above actual normalfags.

>>280140790
Anime based on the WC, directed by someone who actually understands the WC.
There is no reason for a faithful redraw of the WC because the WC already exists. Something like scribble Garou with better draftsmanship isn't going to make his scenes meaningfully better.

>>280135357
Pandering too hard towards normie, he himself is a normie too

>>280135582
I remember ONE stating the result would be different if Metal Bat was around, and I got super hyped when Murata included him in this arc.
I wish I could strangle my old self for being excited on that shit. God damn it.

>>280140790
Just let those fags at BONES who did Mob Psycho animate it, they should be freed from the MHA mines by now.

>>280143104
God the you chicken page was done dirty in the manga.

>>280143104
It's insane how much better Garou would be if his mask wasn't fucking broken. Also holy fuck all the expressions in the webcomic never made it to the manga.

>>280135582

>>280143255
Why does this image piss me off so much?

>>280143273
Yeah that's not bad. If anyone cares enough they could do a proper manga version with it.
Could even train an AI specifically to "translate" webcomic art to murata art and then just copy paste the dialogue in photoshop

>>280143287
looks gay

>>280143293
For the record he asked me about the color palette and visual tone, so I asked for "stylized comic palette and gritty realism" because that's what I thought the webcomic's vibe would be the closest to.
Interestingly, AI could figure out the bloody bandage styled based on ONE's panel alone, I didn't prompt that in.
ChatGPT is smarter than Murata on this one.

>>280143287
Female-coded hips on garou

>>280133822
I think it's pretty obvious that Garou only got a job to pay for his dine and dashing. It's likely that he simply doesn't know what it is that he wants to do next after failing.

He's able to deal with Demon-level threats by himself, that's enough.
He's also a pretty capable detective and the Hero Association can send him up against extremely dangerous opponents and be reassured that he'll come back alive, unlike most other heroes, so he's quite valuable.

The ChatGPT shit has always been fucking obnoxious and I have no idea why people try to keep posting them outside of their dedicated threads on other boards (which somehow still has people making requests anyway even though they could easily make their own prompts). I'm not entirely faulting Daro for being lazy on transcribing whatever comes out of Sandro's head on to paper, but it's shit like DALL-E that completely erased any semblance of visual storytelling in Kengan Omega.
It's so easy to spam and drown out a thread by just flooding it with Deepseek slop too. I'm shocked that they're not considered low-quality enough to warrant removal.

>>280132407
Shit missed the threads. But I feel compelled to point out the grand pottery of this bit: What is Garou? The monster. What do monsters do after they get beaten up in shows where they don't die? They run away. It's the perfect ending to his little monster play.

Also perfectly encapsulates the strange irony of it all. If Garou had wanted, he could've killed them all even then. Saitama knows it. But to the kid, he's just some poor schmuck the heroes are beating up for no reason. The only reasonable advice he can give is for him to run away.

It's a fun moment.

Did WC or manga ever acknowledge any connection between Blast and Bang (and Bomb)?

i dropped it entirely after garou. i was in just to see the trainwreck finally crash and burn. once it did i was free, i did not need any more.
i stopped reading the webcomic for a while, maybe i'll finish it once it's done.
garou vs saitama satisfied me so much i never felt the need to continue

Meh, what this fan remake of the manga does is much better.

Sure, that's better, but in the scenario I was replying to Psychorochi has to happen.

I stopped reading the manga after orochi died. What was the reactions to everything like? At what point did the murata defenders concede? At what point did the fan base realize it was over?

>>280149638
IIRC i think every bit of goodwill was gone when garou teamed up with metal bat

I prefer the WC version but the whole flooding of the area is kinda cool however it doesn't make sense because ENW would still be able to reform whereas it seems in the WC the sheer impact dissipated a majority of the water. Also the manga dialogue is not good.

You might be thinking of Metal Bat vs Garou.

It is where Murata's true color is showing.

>>280149638
>At what point did the murata defenders concede?
People were loving the multiverse-busting shit that was happening in an older version of the Ninja Arc, there were plenty of powerscaling videos made about it. Then it got retconned and nullified. I'd say the community needs more redraws to fully turn on the manga, but that might just backfire and they'd get used to it.
There's no hope for a turn-around. We've almost reached the stage where you could insert several rape scenes and screeds about reclaiming the glory of the Aryan race and people might lap it up because multiverse-busting and pretty ladies.

>>280150018
Yeah, the manga has some very cool visuals during the fight, but they're coupled with mind bogglingly dumb developments and that just added insult to injury.

Saitama took damage in the manga?

>>280150249
Yeah lol I was thinking of the first encounter I didn't know about the later one

>>280151146
I think the point is that Murata tried to make Saitama at least look like he’s taking damage against Garou so it feels more like an even fight. Instead of the webcomic where it’s obvious Saitama is above Garou and going to win but the fight is still satisfying because of garou’s desperation while Saitama nonchalantly destroys his life’s goal.

>>280140353
I think the designs are fine but murata is too fucking stupid and lacks vision to not move beyond sexiness.

I feel like Garou wanted to see the ultimate pure hero rise up against him rather than the flawed individuals he saw before him, but in turn he too isn't an ultimate evil monster capable of destroying the galaxy because it would be funny. In the end the heroes are people (generally) trying to do their best to enforce justice, and accepting they can't be there all the time. Guess it's like Mob Psycho, they live in a world where might makes right, but they can always strive to make it a place where it doesn't have to be.

Garou and Shigaraki have the exact same motive and I think that's pretty cool

>>280150275
Honestly baffles and frustrates me how much this guy insists on his own headcanons despite working on an official adaptation of someone else's work.
Any normal person would look at Metal Bat and think "maybe I had the wrong assumption and he's really just a simple-minded and generally trusting guy until he notices something that's clearly off even to him", but Murata sincerely acts like he knows the characters better than ONE and that the actual author is wrong.
It's like he can't handle the idea that any of his favorites could be "in the wrong" so he had to rewrite Bat as never being sincere about joining Neo and instead infiltrating them on behalf of the Hero Association, which is also made to look much better and capable than they are supposed to be.

>>280172505
Wich is incredibly retarded, part of what's great about metal bat is that he is a bonehead delinquent idiot with a soft spot for his sister, he is a walking trope for the delinquent fad.
He is stupid because that's what the parody is about, if he wasn't a lovable idiot then he would be a subversion instead of a parody.

>>280172646
I wouldn't even call him a parody, he's really more of a pastiche of the delinquent archetype and he's absolutely meant to be accepted as cool even at face value and never treated as a silly character. Being a meathead with a strong sense of honor and unshakeable convictions is critical for it to work.

I think people in general overestimate how much of One Punch Man is meant as a parody.
Saitama is, of course, as are characters like King, Puri Puri Prisoner, and Tank Top Master, but many others are completely sincere and only look out of place while interacting with Saitama, who breaks all conventions by design.
When Saitama's not around, all their struggles matter and play out in the purest shounen fashion, and ONE obviously enjoys those kind of stories unironically. If anything, Murata's constant need to one-up things and shoehorn shounen tropes in at the wrong time and place making them horribly tonally inappropriate makes his work into more of a parody than the original webcomic, which takes itself much less seriously but ends up much more serious because ONE actual understands shounen and what makes battle shounen cool.

Garou never played League of Legends, though.

This. The storytime thread is still up. Though this place kinda worked as a containment for manga discussion so maybe its better that it stays up

this sort of damage done to jupiter would likely indirectly damage or destroy earth
disrupting the gravitational center of the second largest body in the solar system would have drastic consequences

>>280179715
They time travel back to this not happening either way

>>280179715
this. Manga Saitama is a super villain and the worst person ever.

>>280179715
On a cosmically short time scale? No, disrupting the gravitational center wouldn't do that. But the dozens-hundreds of earth mass equivalents which got blasted away from Jupiter? Yeah, that could have a big effect, depending on what it hits.

>>280179715
>would have drastic consequences
Measured over billions of years.

>>280179715
Maybe not
A lot of Jupiter’s mass is in the center and it’s likely that a lot of this material would settle back around the planet

So do we agree that the Phoenix Man fight was the 9/11 of the series?
Practically everything changed for the worse after that

>>280179715
Never mind when an entire chunk of the Earth got cut and it fell back

>>280184403
Don't worry, the world didn't realize it was cut :)

>>280184467

>>280134394 (OP)
That was pure kino. I’d never read it before. Just amazing. Contender for best fight in a manga maybe? I just can’t think of many examples where the fight is not only good but the dialogue isn’t cheesy or godawful.

>>280185904
>>280185904

>>280179715
Disrupting earth's core TWICE, and slicing off a part of the crust would have a more noticeable and catastrophic consequences. And those weren't even time travelled away.

>>280173178
> overestimate how much of One Punch Man is meant as a parody.
>but many others are completely sincere and only look out of place while interacting with Saitama, who breaks all conventions by design

it is a parody, in its entirety, but the parody hinges on what you explained, most of the world is entirely sincere and serious, and Saitama breaks it by design.

but, another thing that some might miss, it is a loving parody. it's a parody done by someone who genuinely loves that type of story.
It's not a criticism or an attempt at making fun of the shonen tropes, it's more like when you laugh at your dog for acting silly, but you still love your dog and love how silly it can be

>>280182655
More like in the matters of years. A LOT of material would get ejected into highly eccentric orbits that would cross earth's orbital path. Earth would get bombarded for millions of years.

>>280179715
That's probably why ONE's work is much more balanced than that.
Even for Boros, his strongest attack that uses up all his energy at once would only destroy the surface of the planet, meaning that his normal attacks are far below that.
It's something balanced that at least takes some consideration for the world and the consequences of such large-scale acts.
Murata's work, on the other hand, is just retarded garbage that doesn't care one bit about the consequences of large-scale acts and so makes them feel much less impactful too.

>>280188455
It feels like Murata is applying too much rule of cool or not enough.
