Shouldn't he get more beautiful the more he monsterises?

>>280338961
I love seeing Saitama act like a proper hero

>>280339065

>>280339084
Honestly love this shit where the villain gains a new powerup but it's still nowhere near enough to make a difference.

>>280339154
Where are my royalties ONE, you can't trace me for FREE

>>280339132
I'm just thinking that since his obsession is beauty, shouldn't he embody it more and more the farther he goes

>>280339118
Less roaring would probably help, Sweet Mask.
>>280339193
I like how he's genuinely hideous and repulsive. There's no "cute monster" aspects there.

>>280339187
>>280339230
I hate generic NPC's in OPM, every time they are ungrateful and don't deserve the save

>>280339154
Man...
Also, when did ONE get so good

>>280339118
I always chose to interpret the speech bubbles in the bottom left panel here to be Amai Mask gutturally screaming because of how fucked up he is, but is it meant to be the crowd instead? Hard to tell

>>280339285
Here's our lad. He's about to get his well-deserved promotion.

>>280339354
That's my fucking HERO

>>280339354

>>280339290
It's his roaring, the bubbles clearly point at him and no one in the crowd has a mouth open until >>280339187

>>280339131
this isnt really about heroing at all though

>>280339321
Fucking retards, all of them. I wish Sweet Mask would eat them.

>>280339434
LIVE, Amai Mask-sama.

>>280339404
He saw someone that needed help, and went to go help
That's being a hero

>>280339354

Can't believe the manga's 100% canon now

>>280339065
This isn't him monsterising "more", it's him monsterising less to reveal his original ugly self. His "monster form" (the beautiful one) was a power limiter, like how Frieza's "first" form was actually more like his 0.25th form to control his powers.

>>280340195
>Jobbed again

>>280340158
Man, Brown Ritsu is a dick

>>280340094
This chapter's TL reads vaguely like the TL to a chink WN

>>280339232
His obsession is less beauty and more fear of his hideousness.

>>280340211
Losing to Saitama doesn't count as jobbing though. He has plenty of real jobbing.

He's an ugmon, they don't get prettier. Honestly it's weird he even became a monster considering how strong his sense of justice is.

I forgot how much I like the webcomic after how the manga slaughtered everything

>>280339434
Great page. One of the highlights of the whole manga to me.

>>280340296
I dunno, maybe he really was just THAT ugly.

>>280340386
The worst part of the webcomic is the wait between chapters. When read altogether like this, it's paced incredibly well

>>280340335
I’m not sure exactly what it is, but the webcomic design of Webigaza is so much better than the manga one

>>280340302
I don't trust this guy one bit. He's obviously just using hero activity as a cover for his criminal enterprise.

>>280340555
Manga Webigaza looks like just about any other female character in the manga. She's clearly drawn differently from the others in the webcomic and the super heavy eyelashes + deadpan expressions do a lot to differentiate her

Fuck I love this (mini) arc. Monster Association is great, but this probably my second favourite after it. And the best payoffs aren't even gonna happen for a while yet.

>>280341324
The latest chapter in the manga is the very beginning of the Amai Mask arc, with him approaching Saitama in the street to recruit him. But he also moved the Neo Heroes introduction chapter earlier and adapted that first, ending with this >>280340999

>>280341120
Im actually kinda excited to see this guy's design in the manga if nothing else. Always stuck out to me as a really fun concept.

>>280341396
Is Kuseno really more advanced than Neo Heroes? Genos would die in 2 years if these people modified him to his level

>>280341444
he was already drawn, dont remember when though

>>280341225
Wait, are these the idols Sweet Mask didn't like?

>>280341509
Yeah.

>>280341509
Yes.

>>280341259
They are indeed

>>280341444
Great Philosopher actually appeared in the manga first, many years ago. Not sure if it was in an extra chapter or around the time of the tourney.

That was back when people universally welcomed Murata's addition. If I recall, apart from philosopher, some manga originals that made it to the webcomic would be Lily, Red Nose, McCoy, Bone, and I think Chain 'n Toad

And that's all for today

Doesn't help her name and her attack names being wrong at all that every TL for both the WC and the manga are ignoring the y in gyaza. But they also keep mixing up wavy and webi interchangeably.

>>280341555
Thanks OP

>>280341651
Man, Murata really should have just been kept on design duty.

>>280341696
I dunno which is more accurate but I still vastly prefer Webigaza over Wavygaza

>>280341466
He was enough of a threat that the organization assassinated him. But I imagine he's probably near or on the level of Bofoi (backstory in 5 chapters surely).

ONE pretty good at freaks of nature

>>280341827
I know he has a bad record and I perfectly understand not having any trust in him, but literally HOW can he ruin such a basic exchange, specially when it's one of the few times Saitama actually perfectly fits the overly wholesome image Murata has of him? Pretty much all the shit changes Murata has done are with the purpose of making characters more wholesome. There's nothing to change this time.

Since we're currently adapting this very arc, we only need like 2 or three months to see how it goes, and this time there's no possible justification to include Blast or God shit to extend the clown fight for 2 years.

>>280341987
He can easily fuck up the context and expressions. There's a lot of subtlety on the webcomic that Murata just doesn't get.

>>280339868
>>280341793
I appreciate that they threw that jobber Caped Baldy a bone, but if they really want a leader, can't they go to Pig God?

i have the feeling that a lot of characters that appeared first in the manga were probably ONE original designs that he gave to murata to spruce up and use for manga extras. that's a completely baseless assumption though. they just seem more like ONE designs to me.

>>280342172

My money's on Do-S being the one that causes the clown to go on a rampage and then losing control when it gets too powerful. Mask will save her in the end causing her to renounce her evil ways and stand up for him before Saitama shows up before becoming Mask's monstergirl tradwife.

>>280342371
>Whenever Blast's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Blast?"

>>280342371
Mask gets sidelined in favor of a plot featuring Blast and Blue until ONE releases a chapter that completely contradicts it and Murata redraws it again.

>>280342371
Oh man, I can totally see the arc ending with Blue arriving at the scene just as Blast is leaving in one of his portals, they give each other a meaningful look before Blast disappears. It would be so cool.

God, Blast-sama is so fucking kakkoi...

>>280339230
>That thinking face

>>280340999
Blast, Blast, Blast.
I'm sick and tired of ONE shoehorning this character into every arc.

>>280342520
Us knowing who Blast is ruins Blue as a character.

>>280342582
He's either going to rewrite his entire motivation, or stubbornly stick to the webcomic even though it's lacking the entire context that makes his character work because Murata doesn't realize that we as the audience must also think of Blast as a pretty dubious and absent figure for Blue to be sympathetic and this entire narrative to function.

>>280340296

>>280342548
I think he's rearranging is throat for human speech

>>280342675
Don't worry, Murata has it covered.

Remember how he took away all the backstory about Blast's wife? WEll no we'll see it adressed through Blast and Blue's encounter (and I guess Mask fights a clown on the side for half a chapter)

>>280342225
>monster reversal machine to turn him human again
That would be the most "missing the point" conclusion, after his sob backstory about how the ugly face IS his "human again". He's Mr Hyde who turned into a Jekyll-monster

>>280339154
Has the manga reached this point?
I want to know if Murata actually kept him looking genuinely ugly.

>>280342225

>>280342928
As a red blooded man I cant not like this

>>280342172
I think we're forgetting something.

Murata will bring back the mercenaries who will defend Mask and show him his gratitude which will help him reconnect with his humanity. It was all setup from the start. It's like fucking poetry.

The easiest way to fuck it up is to have him not even be that ugly.

>>280341466
IDK, neo also made Elimin and Destro and their level of modification is probably similar to Genos.
I imagine that Webigaza being in this state is probably for two possible reasons, firstly because they want to control her, and secondly because they haven't gone any further in modifying her, so she has more organic parts that need to be maintained.

>>280343258
Her brother has a whole laundry list of tournaments under his belt. She only has training and no actual experience in real fights.

>>280343258
Suiryu is world famous already for entering and winning tournaments, Suicho hasn't done any of that. She's only known for being his sister.

>>280342471
>Whenever Blast's not on screen

>>280343046
Jokes aside it is pretty cool to see a high level monster actually analyzing the situation and taking their time before acting, rather than just going on a rampage and dying. He's got a pretty good read on the situation and given his position and power he could do some pretty catastrophic damage if an opportunity arises. I like pages like this that remind us he's not just a joke character but an active ticking time bomb sitting in the heart of the Hero Association HQ.

I never got why ONE started doing this here. It makes no sense at this point in story where we saw Genos jobbing in nearly every confrontation and only the quality of his parts making him stronger.

It's not a powerscaling thing. While more implants does probably mean more power it's more about them being shocked that these people have thrown away so much of their body that they're more machine than human.

Child Emperor a CUTE!

>>280340302
I can feel the EVIL radiating from that man. He is probably the main antagonist of the next arc.

>>280344435
I'm speculating that the reason is because Murata will now throw in some original scenes with Ryumon and Metal Bat where he'll redeem himself over time, following Metal Bat's example, and renounce his evil ways. This, of course, completely misses the point that the reveal that he's a true hero is supposed to be sudden and surprising, because his outward appearance and mannerisms trick people into thinking he's still a thuggish, self-centered criminal.

>>280339191

Four arms and a mouth in his stomach

It's adorable in a way that Murata can't even wait two chapters before giving evil-looking characters every nefarious deed under the sun when ONE is one of the most obvious fanboy of "evil-looking guy is actually pretty chill all considering". He falls for it every single time and he still can't read the room.

>>280340707
Murata would have him kill one of the crowd as soon as the fight is done. Then he'll get stopped by blast who will say God did this. Satiama will show up right as Blast s opening a portal to take Mask to the multiverse avengers for medical treatment.

>>280344719
That's older than this chapter and a reference to something else anyway

>>280344779
It was largely a joke since I think I've seen it before in other things, but what's it based on?

>>280339354
>>280339434

>>280344719
I thought you were talking about someone about to be eaten by a monster and breaking it's jaws form inside. Anyway, No.

Is ONE an incel? He seems to hate good looking people.

>>280344920
Reigen is beautiful and he's ONE's greatest character, thoughever.

>>280344920
you decide

>>280344920
He just makes them realistic.
The prettier you are on the outside, the uglier you are on the inside.
Bit more seriously you can probably get some insight about his thoughts on popular/pretty people with the girl Mob wanted to go out with.

>>280344920
>During high-school, there wasn’t anyone particular I was in love with. There was someone I liked back in elementary-school and middle-school, but I just watched that person from afar — just like Mob. All of my buddies and I shared a detached attitude towards romance.
>No, I don’t have a complex about romance. It’s that I’m not very good at discussing that subject. Once, I mistakenly went to a welcoming party for new college students (Yamada: Haha, “mistakenly”?). People there eventually got into a lively conversation about their experiences in romance. Then it came my turn to say something; when I told them that I had no experience to speak of, the whole room just froze. I said to myself: Geez, what a cruel world I’ve walked into!

>>280339693
Darkshine shine tracker anon, look. He has lost his shine.

>>280345159
He's the third one from the left? His head looks huge. Or is the other tall guy's head thin? I can't tell.

>>280345200
Bad's little sister, Zenko, made him stop a full delinquent in their extended lore in the manga version, that way Metal Bat only fights for legitimate reasons; this may apply to the webcomic as well, Zenko does appear in ths webcomic later.

>>280345476
The other tall guy is Murata

>>280341527
kony 2012

>>280345301
true but he's got it back in 125 so it's hard to say it was intentional

>>280345287
Saitama just believes calling Sweet Mask a "monster" at all because his power happens to make him look ugly is like calling Darkshine a nigger because his power made his skin dark.

>>280343490
Does he fist himself? Give himself The Stranger?

>>280340707
Don't worry, our HERO will show Sweet Mask the light.

>>280345159
>has a family
ONE's married?

>>280342695
Darkshine obsessed with his muscles. Puri with his prisoners. Maybe Pig God with food. Most heroic people just got random strength from it.

>>280345867
If he is I've never heard of it. It's not impossible, he's 38 IIRC

>>280345903

I was digging around a bit and stumbled upon this video where, bizarrely, ONE and Daro (of Kengan fame) appear together. I dunno if there's any keng/a/n anons here but this has blown my mind somewhat. https://youtu.be/Pmri3YZ2EaQ?t=105

Maybe Sweet Mask was on to something. Maybe Saitama really could be the ideal hero.
I like how this is the first time he actually just straight-up succeeds in encouraging someone. He's realizing what kind of hero he wants to be, too.

>>280339868

>>280340367

>>280339868
THE MAIN GANG IS HERE AT LAST

>>280344920
>incel
Go back.

>>280343346
That reminded me. Have we seen any female heroes in the webcomic besides Fubuki, Tatsumaki and Webigaza? Murata made a bunch more for the manga but I feel like those were all for the webcomic.

>>280345159
He's tall as fuck for a nip, of course he has a family.

>>280346433
Daro should collab with ONE to heal his soul and let his GPU rest

>>280346873
Is that the theory that every drawn version actually happens but time rewinds when things divert too much? I know of that, but that would be retarded when only the last version is left up on the official website and printed in volumes.

>>280346873
You're saying..."he"...doesn't know about "that"?!

>>280346433
It's not unusual. Authors often hang out just like any other profession. Daro especially seems social since I've seen at least one other talk-along with a fellow mangaka.
In this particular case, a small search tells me that Mob Psycho is published in Ura Sunday. The same online magazine as Kengan, so that's probably the reason.
>8 years ago
It hurts to see how he was compared to now. Full of life, before Sandro huishenged him completely.

>>280347493
>The monkey's paw curl
>ONE collabs with Sandro instead

>>280348036
We will get the same amount of off screen jobbing regardless

>>280348036
truly the battle between Sandro's sheer hackery and One's talent would be one for the ages

>>280346564
I figure there is no "ideal hero", but there is an ideal for heroes to strive for. Saitama might not have the makings of being head of PR or a leader, but he does have some idea of what to say.

>>280345868
I don't know if it'll ever be explained, but I think that maybe you only become a monster if your obsession goes beyond a certain limit?
If I had to guess, maybe Darkshine, Puri, and Pig God just have higher innate limits for obsession than Amai.

>>280348130
>Yamashita_Kazuo_high_level_exchange.jpg

>>280340296
It was his strong moral code what made him keep his sanity despite the monsterization process.

>>280348214
This is the most explanation we ever got.

I think you just don't monsterize if you're content with yourself, so anyone emotionally stable will be fine. Note how Garou kept transforming further because he found himself against the insurmountable wall that is Saitama, frustrating him immensely.
Right now, Darkshine is the most at risk, but he seems more depressed than frustrated, and he lost his obsession with muscles, so he should be fine, too.

>>280338961
>>280339131
Saitama realizing exactly what's going to happen after Amai Mask undid his transformation and going on ahead by himself really shows a surprising emotional depth, especially for someone like Saitama

phew finally caught up over past couple days
goddamn you guys REALLY REALLY REALLY fucking HATE the manga holy shit every other post, no, way more than that, was some shitting on the manga damn wow
i have read enough murata hate to last several lifetimes

I haven't read the manga since 2017, I didn't hate it or anything, but I just didn't care that much about keeping up once I switched to the webcomic. On the flip side this is the first time I read the webcomic up to, well i don't remember where I started off from, but it would be equivalent to where the tournament finished in the manga

>>280344087
>Saitama is late
>Blast arrives instead
>"you're cool, wanna collect black cubes and fight god?"
>portal opens, showing Boros and "That Man" on the other side

>>280348438
That makes sense.
Puri and Pig are also both pretty content with their lives despite having obsessions.

>>280348061
Kek, saved.

>>280348585
>I haven't read the manga since 2017
With respect, this is probably why you don't really understand the hate. You're not familiar with just how badly the manga has fucked up adapting the events of the webcomic.

>>280339984
cute pout

>>280339911
I just realized: Black Sperm is just Dimple.

>>280348650
I don't think either of them count as particularly obsessed, really. It's just a hobby to them, or a biological need.
It's likely that you can even be extremely driven and still be fine as long as you keep things in perspective and don't lose sight of the greater picture, like Atomic Samurai being determined to master the sword, but understanding that you need to hone all aspects of yourself in harmony to truly reach the top.
It's all a matter of having the wisdom to truly understand the meaning of power.

>>280340226
Victimhood....is on the move

>>280340281
Nobody knows what happened to Amai Mask after he disappeared with Saitama. Genoa thought maybe Amai was too far gone and Saitama killed him, thus his serious expression.

>>280343780
Genos is supposed to be really fucking strong. He was sent to S-class for his feat of destroying the House of Evolution which is something he actually did. The Association doesn't know about the underground facilities or Carnage Kabuto, all the knew was that Genos leveled the entire building effortlessly and they concluded that his firepower was high enough to classify as S-class, the class where only exceptionally strong individuals enter.

I used to think that he had the bad luck of fighting against enemies that were hard-counters to him or against enemies misclassified as lower threat level than they actually are; but we saw him earlier in these arcs losing an arm to a random Demon-level meaning he's just incompetent. His lack of experience holds him back so much he has worse fears than PPP and Metal Bat.

>>280348585
It makes more sense if you've sat through years of murata increasingly fucking up to an increasingly stunning degree

>>280349221
I think it's also just that being a cyborg, losing an arm doesn't mean as much to him, he can just get it replaced. He doesn't have the same protective instincts for his body that a regular human would.

>>280341466
Well, it just so happens that Genos' entire thing is fire blasts. He doesn't have to worry too much about overheating since he can get rid of heat easily.

>>280339611
And unsurprisingly he was a cuck

>>280341641
She's an idol. They removed her pussy so she can always remain pure for the fans.

>>280339598

>>280339598

>>280349847
He seems to be pretty happy just being a dawg

>>280340226
What is he thinking about?

>>280340555
Personally not a fan of the manga version's tiara.

>>280349766
what was the point of the mole?

>>280350200
It's actually a bug planted by one of God's agents, to keep an eye on Saitama when they have hot steamy sex.

>>280344464
Fubuki...

>>280349766
Saitama's real girlfriend bullying acquaintancebuki

>>280340226
>Sweet Mask
>Black Sperm
>Rover
Saitama is saving monsters that later protect humans from humans

>>280343207
For Destro, every day is casual Friday.

>>280343715
So far we've seen him and rover defending the place during the attack of the machines but that's because monsters are targeted as well, let's wait to see if he'll eventually come to the hero's side

>>280352003
To be honest, B.S. seems pretty purely self interested, so as long as the heroes keep the top position in the world (pretty likely with the MA and Garou dealt with) I doubt he'd turn on Saitama any time soon. And Rover really is just a dog, he'll stick with whoever's feeding and taking care of him.

>>280347019
There's lily who's only showed up in the webcomic since the tatsumaki fight arc

>>280340817
That depends on if he really has his brain or not

>>280343999
Ignoring the manga's proposition, it should be fairly easy to change names once he grows out of the current one. Genius Emperor or Machine Emperor. something along those lines. As long as the Emperor part is kept I doubt people will find it odd.

>>280352003
That's at least in his own self interest as opposed to being altruistic. He's not like Dimple who became almost fully good pretty quickly after he joined up with Mob. I can easily see him becoming a Starscream style character, sucking up to Saitama and acting like his lackey while constantly trying and failing to take him down behind his back.

>>280348879
You're a little slow, Anonymous.

>>280352524
You give the hero namers too much credit. It will 100% go Child Emperor->Teenage Emperor->Adult Emperor->Senior Emperor. Once he finds out he'll finally get a chance to interact with Saitama when he joins the Hero Name Victims Association.

>>280340707
he will turn into an uncontrollable monster and saitama will need blast and metal bats help to stop him

>>280343999
It will be even more awkward keeping that name as an adult considering what it means

>>280352693

>>280340601
I hate his MOTHERFUCKING FACE in manga so much during this scene

>>280353284
Being a ninja disqualifies Flash from Bushido honor.

>>280353284
>>280353344
Sonic also mentioned it, but apparently Flash's combat style is almost mechanical. Pure murderous intent focused solely on eliminating the threat. So he probably lacks the 'heart' that Atomic Samurai is seeking in his spars.

Thinking about it, the manga adding shit like Tatsumaki being able to sense what happens to Fubuki had already made this moment impossible to happen.

>>280354237
Not to mention the damage the manga did to Fubuki's character even before the redraws began.

>>280354237
On second thought, maybe Tatsumaki was asleep when Garou met Fubuki.
Making Fubuki job like that multiple times and needing Tatsumaki's help was still a horrible decision that shat on her character.

>>280339911
He is actually surprisingly crafty. Black sperm.

>>280348036
>Yumigahama's paw curled
CURSE that CALLOUS CHIMPANZEE...

>>280348036
At least it would be funnier than whatever Murata is doing.

>>280346433
>>280347493
>>280347840
Who is Daro? I haven't read Kengan but from the way people talk I was under the impression that that Sandro guy is the author. Is he the artist?

>>280354580
He's the artist, yeah. Only partly, because in recent years he's taken to using AI to do a lot of the work for him.

>>280354580
Sandro's the writer. Daro was and is still the artist, but now, his assistant's poor overworked GPU does a good chunk of the work.

>>280354633
>>280354695
I suspect Sandro's using a GPU to write for him with how fucked and disjointed Kengan Omega's writing is. That shit with bearded Raian holding the super-cool, super awesome Otakemaru came out of nowhere.

>>280339354
Okay, I see what you guys mean now. This might be the best page in the webcomic so far.

>>280354373
But then again, according to the logic of the manga Tatsumaki should simply be able to sense Fubuki's state at any moment so long as she is close enough which she was.
She was able to sense Fubuki at the monster association base and put up a barrier for her too. So maybe that would still make this scene impossible.

>>280353085
>>280339354
Yep, that's what this reminded me of.

>>280339321
The realization just struck me, but from the perspective of the civilians and pretty much everyone else there, Caped Baldy pretty much just materialized out of nowhere to catch that rock

>>280354237
Why would Garou lie, bros?

>>280355012
cus it was funny

So hopefully some of you guys are starting to realize how far into a different category OPM is compared to MHA. It’s embarrassing to even compare the two.

>>280355012
He's a prankster

>>280355119
I always knew and I've never even watched or read MHA, Just seeing a little leakage from the start was enough to know.

>>280355119
...Do people compare the two? The manga maybe, but the webcomic? The webcomic isn't nearly popular enough to be in those sorts of discussions in the first place, I thought.

>>280355174
The summary also makes this obvious.

>>280355192
And the visuals too.

>>280355192
>>280355220
They’re literally the same genre. MHA is popular because Hori is a top-notch artist, and OPM is popular because ONE is a genius writer. The difference should be incredibly obvious. The reason why MHA is more popular is because art matters most to people, but those with discerning taste understand how wildly, utterly superior OPM is.

>>280350669
>>280349766
I haven't seen any shipping fanart yet, do artists read the webcomic?

>>280355291
The visuals are extremely childish. Even if the art is "good", the visuals alone make me turn down the series.

>>280340707
Muratard: God will show up to offer Sweet Mask cube power to defeat the monster (there will be a shot of the moon in every page) and then Blast will also show up (because he's the coolest shoe...I mean hero) and take him away with his black hole portal (so cool).

>>280355419
And honestly, his art, designs and characters look like pure garbage to me.

>>280355344
Unfortunately no. Most of the fanart is limited to Garou and Fubuki as far as I've seen, with the occasional shitty "I redrew this webcomic panel in Murata's style". The issue really is that the vast, vast majority of people who read the manga don't bother to read the webcomic.

>>280355537
I kind of find it odd, I mean all these years of shipping Saitama with either of the psychic sisters when, for all intents and purposes there's zero romantic interest between any of them (even fujo ships make more sense) and finally we have an official character that fits better with the trope of potential love interest, you'd think people would be writing and drawing fics already, artists truly just follow popular trends

>>280355119
you need to pick stories that are at least vaguely similar if you want to instigate a flamewar, dummy

>>280346564
You fool Saitama is already the ideal hero. He's the ideal Hero Garou was going on about. Totally unbiased heroism devoid of ego and ambition.

>>280339354
>>280339434

Absolute kino
Saitama is an emphatic dude.

>>280346564
>>280356176
>Is there anything you try to keep in mind when you draw Saitama?

ONE: Well.... what I think is cool is a hero that stands up against someone who seems stronger than you. If you knew you were strong, you can just show up regardless of how evil the enemy is, but what's important is if there was someone clearly stronger than you hurting a child, can you stand up against it? I feel that that mentality is what defines a hero, and I thought that zeal would draw readers including myself. Saitama himself wants this zeal as well, but because he's so strong he had this drive taken away from him. But instead, he understands people's feelings, and he can lend his hand to the weak. I'd like to treasure this part of his.
