I want a whole volume of just Tatsumaki and Fubuki being bred like whores by Saitama.

>>280624871 (OP)
seems like a pretty much 1:1 of the amai mask arc so far. anyone else notice how grey murata's art has become? it's all so washed out.

>>280625003
It's actually advancing the plot.
For now.

I feel like he's tired of the manga and just wanna end it. Same as for ONE
The webcomic is progressing quite far and I don't think they'll even address the GOD situation

>>280627313
>He think Murata will get tired of the Manga
Oh you sweet naive summer child.

>>280624871 (OP)
Yawn

I need Fubuki ass

>>280627313
The webcomic is a hobby that’s he’s been doing for like 15 years. His passion for it ebbs and flows. As of the past year he’s released a decent amount of chapters with with fairly detailed art. The last one was a few days ago with 60 pages. This is Murata’s main source of income right now. I doubt he would be redrawing for over a year and a half to make Sonic’s ice pack and joke ninja fodder more detailed if he wanted it to end anytime soon.

>>280625057
This but unironically

>>280627728
It just feels to me that ONE is trying to wrap up everything with the webcomic chapters. He's doing two or three manga at the same time and I don't think he wants to focus on OPM more than that

Since someone else is here, here's a super finalest final version including those last 2 drawings a couple anons posted, I was just barely too late to post it before the thread archived. Also, I cleaned up Fubuki's hair, I accidentally left some shit in it in that one.

ITS THAT EASY MURATA. IT REALLY IS THAT FUCKING EASY!

>>280634087
to be fair, I would be happy enough with a 0.9 : 1 adaptation of the webcomic. Some of the expanded fights like the Zombieman one were nice.

Thought this pretty boy was a neo hero recruiter added to the manga until i remembered that's how Sweet mask looked at this stage of the story.
God am I glad we are done with the that man part of the story. Easily the worst part of the manga.

Nice, glad I entered this thread lol

>>280636369
Pretty sure there was a statement very early on in the DBS manga saying that it was "supervised" by Toriyama. At least, i don't remember people claiming that Toriyama was the writer.

Thank you so much

How many chapters until Blast?

>>280636181
‘story by’ is on the same level as those ‘original work by X published in Y magazine” disclaimers in anime, it’s just an acknowledgement of the original.

>>280636346
>God am I glad we are done with the that man part of the story. Easily the worst part of the manga.
It will forever be remembered as worse than the Phoenix redraw moment.

>>280625790
THE ICE AGE

>>280636758
Hopefully never.

>>280633698
Why not start a manga storytime, which will surely be more popular than the WC storytime since the manga is superior?

>>280626168
As a fan of the manga even now that's true, by now I take pauses for periods of time and then try to binge when something reminds me of it.

I haven't been keeping up with the manga. Does anyone have an estimate how long it will take to reach job hunter Garou?

>>280637668
1-3 years give or take. Depends how intense the redraws will be.

>>280637668
Garou is a completely different character in the manga so it doesn't matter anyway.

>>280637827
Yeah that's literally just not Garou lol
Glad I dropped this retarded fucking manga ages ago

>>280637827
That last panel is repulsive.

>>280637827
Jesus Christ.It's fucking painful to watch.

I can only hope that ninja hell actually humbled Murata to know better and avoid pulling shit like this with Sweet Mask. At least the arc so far is staying faithful to the webcomic, so things are looking up.

>>280624871 (OP)
>>280625251

why can't murata draw actually attractive women? Just generic cutesy faces with no charisma

>>280634533
Too risky. Murata is 100% unable to write, every added panel could lower the quality of the story. Only good addition were ONE’s new sketches for the manga. (es: gouketsu)

All Murata added it’s sexualization

What resurrected the hype?

>>280634533
I was still pretty happy with it until he went full rails off and didn't try to match the webcomic at all instead of just expanding on it here and there.

>>280638060
nothing
the WC is completely different and never died

>>280631011
Alright, TRACED and rearranged.

>>280638131
the worst offender has been this GOD bullshit that I feel the WC will never address again because it was apparently meant to be just a random background character some hobo mistook for God and that's it
it has literally ruined everything, and the thing that finally made almost everyone quit this turd was the garou vs saitama battle, I have only read that shit once, if I ever try to watch it again, I can't stand the cringe and drop it immediately (even just remembering it makes me feel sad and nauseous)

>>280638168
webigaza deserve a thousand cocks in her mouth

WC feels like watching the first three seasons of spongebob
and the manga are all the seasons after the movie
if you put it like that, even the most retarded reader will get it

>>280636181
>ONEchuds see this and immediately start coping

>>280631011
>>280638168
Okay, now it's TRACED and rearranged. Didn't like the spacing of the ellipsis.

>>280638364
webigaza still deserve a thousand cocks in her mouth

>>280638293
S1 of the anime is like the movie in this analogy

>>280637827
Murata butchered Garou's character in such a way he's completely unrecognizable now
It's like he couldn't conceive a gag manga that included a character with a serious existential crisis post being btfo by a baldy

>>280638222
Right, but the one part where God actually was supposed to show up (Homeless Emperor) was great and I really enjoyed the visuals of him on the moon.

>>280624871 (OP)
Man I thought it was a webcomic thread, fuck.
I think I've missed the last one or two threads, too.

>>280638629
Moments like that are where Murata truly shines, like the moon kick with Boros, but he should have limited himself to only do that shit. Things went down the drain when he tried his luck with the narrative and the humor.

What's up with Saitama's face?
Has he been mewing?

>>280638685
Anon...

>>280638629
Even then he ruined that moment by introducing God and Blast beforehand.

>>280638703
Exactly: murata shoukd draw 1:1 from webcomic, sexualize women and add some panels during fight. STOP

>>280638060

>>280638813
The entire arc was ruined anon, I'm not denying that. I'm just saying that a little bit of difference between manga and webcomic can be fine or even good assuming that it still aligns with the webcomic.

>>280624871 (OP)
I think we need more incest with okinawans brothers and sisters

>>280638575
It's such a weird change, too. Garou goes from someone who decides to get a job to try to give back to society after making so much trouble and try to figure out what he wants from life, to just going back to Bang's dojo and only working because the courts mandate it.
How is Murata even going to justify Suiryu fighting him? In the webcomic it's because Garou is still considered a notorious criminal on the run and it makes perfect sense for him to have a bounty on his head, but in the manga, he's actively going along with his state-mandated rehabilitation and so Suiryu and Neo would look like total psychos to go through with it.
Even Raiden trying to enslave the prisoners at least has the justification that they got permission from the government first (making the entire world look vastly more horrifying, but that's a different point), so they're not just acting on their own.

>>280624871 (OP)
Cheers!

>>280639255
Murata has actively watered down a lot of the dark undertones the WC has, like how Tatsu is not allowed to be an actual psychopath either like in the WC, she's just a tsundere now that actually doesnt know how to interact with people but deeply roots for it

>>280624871 (OP)
This chapter was terrible

>>280640005
Just like your opinion was terrible.

>>280639695
Man, what is even the appeal of someone like Tatsumaki if she won't call Saitama a lonely baldy with no friends? Or if she never sends Fatton into orbit for bothering her sister? Or if she's never literal foaming-around-the-mouth angry at Saitama merely telling her not to run away?
What's even left if you take out everything that makes Tatsumaki Tatsumaki?

>>280638685
Sorry brother, but it ended yesterday. It was the best thing ever. 707 post and after party thread that also reached bump limit. The latest chapter was posted, 155, and it was the hypest shit.

I also thought this was a WC thread; still, Murata sure can draw.
>>280624871 (OP)
But I just wish, sincerely and with no hate, his version didn't exist so more people could and would experience this last arc of the webcomic as it is meant to be experienced.

>>280639255
They'll team up to fight together against a random dragon class monster and Suiryu will lose control of the suit.

>>280637921
>At least the arc so far is staying faithful to the webcomic, so things are looking up.

That's the afterparty thread. Somebody did an amazing collage of ms paint art we all chipped in for, mine is the crappy Dark Shine (the crappier one), never drew a thing in my life

>>280627742

>>280638629
I have to admit it, that scene was an improvement over the webcomic.

>>280624871 (OP)
Making this thread as things are with OPM is just asking for a flamewar here

>>280640660
looks like ONE drew it.

>>280640660
Fuck yeah. I am updating what I saved. Thanks

>>280636181
What if the story really is by ONE, but he's giving Murata bad plotlines that miss the point on purpose?

>>280636181
>>280638352
All I think when I see that is "I can clearly see this people didn't actually read the webcomic" and "I imagine they have never read a manga adaptation of a novel, because it has the same disclaimer".

I promise you, the webcomic is so different, it's night and day. Specifically since Monster Association onward, before that the dialogues were copy pasted more often than not.

>>280640660
Just realised there is a third Dark Shine under Fubuki that's perhaps rougher than even mine; the one I made is on the chess board. I say this to calm my autism.

I read just three pages of the manga, and in those three pages, the idiot inserted unnecessary shipping, ruined the characters' personalities, and messed with their placement and tone. I'm honestly glad I realized the manga was doomed back when they did the dos redraws glad that I gave up on it

wonder if anyone ever showed this to Murata, to see if he finally get it

>>280642950
I’m pretty sure he knows, he’s just so deep into his own stupidity that he couldn’t care less about people complaining and got a full-on anti-criticism filter activated in his mind

And apparently even the Japs can’t stand him. I read some threads ago that if you drop his name in a 2chan thread, they'll throw a fit

>>280642950
Someone should also show him this

What happened to Raiden made me wonder if people taken over by parasites in versus also keep their conscience.

>>280624871 (OP)

>>280643370
And then there are the people taken over by the robot equipment, do they retain consciousness too?
And the people that the neo-heroes/organization turn into cyborg puppets without using the suit, do they keep their consciousness?

Guess it depends if you think turning something awesome into shit by completely missing the point is worse than somehow managing to turn something alright into something shit by completely overcomplicating it and restarting twice.

>>280643887
The entire Awakened Garou sequence in the manga is just awfully executed. I knew it was going to suck when he prematurely appeared on the surface.

>>280643595
Yeah that is a weird drawing of Saitama. Almost looks fanmade. It’s like a weird inbetween of his simple normal face and more detailed serious face compared to what he usually does. Usually he uses for comedy or to look cool, but here it isn’t doing either. It looks like how a fujoshi would draw saitama to try and make him attractive while still trying to keep his dopey expression. Maybe he’s going for a purposely bishonen artstyle for him since this arc is revolved around sweet mask?

>>280624871 (OP)

>>280642321
right isn't bad though. it's when it became twice as long and consistent characterization broke down that the manga became ruined

>>280624871 (OP)
Waifus are the only reason why OPM still has any relevance.

The premise isn't built to last. It was always going drag on and/or focus on shit that nobody cares about.

>>280646407
>The premise isn't built to last
But the webcomic proves otherwise

>>280646407
Murata...

>>280642126
Murata adding random character interactions together has been quite damaging to everyone dragged into it. I don't think anybody ever cared about Tats x Genos or CE and Zombieman. Rather funny to me he did the opposite for Metal Bat and Ryumon and that was before WC152 came out.

>>280624871 (OP)
God after that story time these are just so shit bro it's insane
>>280636181
THIS IS NOT THE STORY BY ONE LMAO.

>>280646561
>CE and Zombieman
I absolutely hated it. I can't put the reasons into words, but I hate it and I feel like it was absolute shit.

>>280646407
Hilarious when Webcomic barely has recurring female characters. Earlier on Psychic sisters is all there is. Then others trickled in like Psykos, who I recall from somewhere was designed for manga first. Now we got Webi, Suiko, and Elimin in the current arc, still to many even if it barely compares to the number of male characters introduced in the timeframe. The whole original S-class is a sausage fest barring Tatsumaki. I wish Murata did not cram in all the cannon fodders and his ceaseless smut.

>>280646802
You hadn't read the webcomic before the storytime?

>>280642321
>tatsus ass in a random panel
Lol
>>280646901
I have it's just been a long time and I didn't know the webcomic progressed to that point. Actually fun series

>>280646857
These two coincidentally got the most brutal treatment in the current arc. Seeing this chapter is a verbatim adaptation of WC, I have a sliver of hope that Murata will give up writing fanfics and just adapt CE's humiliation ritual as is. I really just want to see mindbroken CE in his artstyle but he will probably shy away from it.

>>280642950
If he saw this, he would agree with it, but think the one on the right is better because in his mind, OPM is the flawed skeleton of what could be an amazing battle shonen. And he's just bringing its potential to fruition with the changes he makes.

>>280630278
>>280640660
>>280627742
Happy to see my Suiko there

>>280647334
>the flawed skeleton of what could be an amazing battle shonen
Thank you for putting it into words. Murata's rewrite choices make much more sense from this angle. Personally, I'd be somewhat disappointed if it's a faithful adaptation to webcomic from here on out.

>>280646901
I actually hadn't.
I assumed that the story really was by ONE and that Murata's manga was a faithful adaptation of the webcomic.
The storytime was eye opening.

Since One has actually gotten pretty serviceable at drawing and Murata puts in less effort/rushes the manga really is just OPM ecchi edition. Murata should just own it and just start writing the characters having sex and shit and just make it a very high production value official hentai manga.

>>280647616
I still think that Murata's choices are bad and that this is a misguided way of looking at it.
OPM isn't a battle shonen with a comedic tone. It's a parody made to poke fun at battle shonens, while still having love for the spirit of heroism intrinsic to those series.
Murata's rewrites give off the impression that he thinks moments Saitama vs Boros, Saitama vs Garou, Child Emperor vs Phoenix Man, etc. are the way they are because ONE lacks the artistic talent to draw cooler fights. And that characters like Tatsumaki and Sonic look the way they do because ONE lacks the artistic talent to draw an erotic womanlet or a femboy.

I just think that Murata's choices make sense despite being bad when you look at them from that angle.

>>280647735
or make an ecchi spin off focused only on the esper sisters already
it's such a waste of talent that he's so good at drawing women but doesnt do hentai or even ecchi

>>280647782
He completely misses the point if he thinks that of ONE, for me, I think the charm of ONE's writing is that he constantly criticize pretentious tropes and over the top bullshit seen in average shonen, its like he's giving you a slap and saying "hey, this is stupid, just tone it down ok?" and the best examples of this are they way Saitama completely dismantles Garou's ideology in the WC and how he is also very quick at pointing out that Sweet Mask's ideal hero is basically a puppet, focusing too much on what others think instead of being an actual hero
Shit like that it's what hooked people with this story initially but it's usually delivered in a rather subtle way too so many people have a hard time to put it into words lol
TLDR:
>WC story is about how stupid and pretentious many shonen tropes are and that following that makes you look silly

>>280647782
I like the webcomic being a parody of battle shounen and hero comics but not a mean-spirited one. The tropey parts are artfully executed and only get elevated when they are subverted.
Murata mostly gets the battle part right--even then I find the scale of spectacles so overbearing in the manga that it overshadows what are supposed to be actual character feats in the webcomic--but his ability to write even generic shounen tropes is not up to snuff.
Shame this project is run by someone who is the polar opposite of the original author and barely shares his outlooks.

Murata can't into subtlety or humor

>>280648577
Murata replaced the snake with bacteria and replaced the soldiers with people wearing face clothes.

You know what's one of the worst parts of the Manga going so downhill? It's not just the Webcomic getting wiped away. It's the Manga getting wiped away too. There were so many moments original to the manga I genuinely loved. Garou vs Orochi is a highlight of the entire series for me. I even loved Phoenix Man vs Child Emperor. But guess what? THAT was redrawn and shat upon too. Losing things like that hurt too.

>>280648577

>>280648893

>>280648673

Probably because some of them are obvious 3D models and copypaste.

>>280649143
>This is just nitpicking
It's not, I didn't like the substitution of the snake for bacteria because one implies that powerful creatures were also emerging while the other implies that they were just pests and diseases. This changes the meaning being conveyed.

>>280648893
>Saitama saying he's just doing it as a hobby is gone

Thats from the next episode, retard.

Honestly, I prefer ONE's art to Murata's at this point, Murata's may look better in some technical respects but it doesn't give the same feeling that ONE's art does. I'm referring to Murata's current art compared to ONE's current art. I prefer Murata's initial art to ONE's initial art, but I might prefer ONE's current art over Murata's art at any point or at least from some point in the MA arc.

>>280649593
Murata's art has no soul, or at least not anymore, and doesn't convey the same weight and soul.

>>280649593

You guys don’t actually believe this, it’s just something you repeat online to get social rewards.

>>280625956
This Is Murata manga anon

>>280649593
>>280649706
He’s definitely been phoning it in these last few years. Murata is a pro. And by pro I mean professional quite literally. One thing people praise him for is not just technical skill but speed. He clearly has time saving methods and whatnot burned into his style. So while his work is all very professional and clean and for its level produced at a good rate, it does seem to lack that passionate human touch. So instead of “what’s the perfect expression for this scene” that One may draft over and over, murata will choose one of the expression types he’s mastered that’s “close enough” and just move on to the next page. It’s probably why he redraws so much, he has the process down.

It’s kind of ironic when you think about what OPM is about.

>>280649593
>>280649706
>>280649953
the seriousness of murata’s art style ruins the comedic aspect of the story. add to that his tone-deafness to humor and the jokes are guaranteed to fall flat on their face like a pancake
makes me wonder if there other artists better suited for the job besides ONE himself

I might prefer Murata's art until before the MA arc (except for when he does shit like turn Sonic and Flash into femboys), but from some point in the MA arc onwards ( perhaps from the moment he went to do the final redraw of the phoenix man fight) I definitely prefer ONE's current art over his, in fact I prefer it more and more because somehow Murata's art keeps getting worse and worse.

>>280649953
ONE is definitely much better at making expressions.

>>280637357

>>280650441
you forgetting someone?

mangafags. it's over. let it go.

A bad creative habit of Murata I find is shoving irrelevant characters into places. Most ONE scenes just have a handful of major characters having their highlight moments. This is still the case in an arc as hectic as the current one. But Murata has to give the jobbers reaction faces and cliched shounen babbling.
Take the psychic arc for example. The HA moster prision scene originally only had Saitama, Tats, and Fubuki conscious and the story flow uninterrupted. In the manga version, it was a shitfest with the OC psychic organisation, the A-class heroes budging in, and the entire Fubuki group who got their best moment ruined. It made the whole scene a distracting mess.

>>280630923
Where is my hero, The Great Degenerate?

>>280649593
The point of no return for art seem to be tats flipping MA. Murata's characters got soft while one's kept their spirit despite having very similar, Mob-style faces.

The thing about ONE is his style he does on purpose. It's completely intentional. He can draw "better" or with more detail but would rather do this way and I say it fits more.

Cosmic Garou was at least an interesting concept with it's "What if GOD meddled with the MA arc climax" even if the execution was terrible.
"That man" manga arc wasn't even an interesting concept. It was just months of redraws of a story arc that didn't interest me at all, not a tiny bit.
>>280636346
Sage centipede was there for like what? a month? Not in the same level of tediousness as that man. And I genuinely don't care about silly faces ruining garou's "aura". He was always the biggest obvious tsundere even in the WC and no amount of surface level edginess was going to change that.

>>280650702
What the fuck is reddit spacing? Why do you fags keep bringing it up?

>>280648842
I get the feeling Murata puts in less effort when he's adapting chapters that he doesn't find cool, and ironically those chapters don't turn to complete shit, because they don't enable his retarded fanfiction brain.
Maybe he should draw the whole manga with the least effort possible.

I was still hoping the MA arc would turn out good, thinking they wouldn't screw it up and might even improve the story. But after the fifth redraw in the Do-S arc, I gave up. It felt like ONE was out and Murata or the editor had taken over. Like, 'You can't kill this character, she's super popular and we can sell plastic figures of her to gooners'—that kind of deal.

It's called criticizism, the only reason the chapter is not a complete trainwreck, is because there isn't much to fuck up, it's a straightforward chapter, and yet Murata finds a way to mangle it in any way he can. >>280648572

Still butthurt

Why do people believe in flat earth? The truth is: they don’t. If you put a million dollars on the table and asked them to bet on it for or against flat earth, 100% of people will bet against flat earth, because they’d rather have the million dollars than their normal social rewards for pretending flat earth is real online. Social rewards are just the pleasure centers of your brain firing when someone agrees with / responds / pays attention to you which works online (although not as strongly as in-person).

The same applies to the position of Murata’s art being inferior to ONE’s. It’s absurd on its face and so obviously no one believes it, but people will pretend that it is online in order to repeat it to one another in a circle-jerk session because doing so feels good. If you put a million dollars on the table, not a single one of you would bet on the position of “ONE’s art is superior to Murata’s”. Now, since this is a purely a fantasy problem because God will not be the judge you will deny it because doing so feels good. However, you KNOW that I’m right, and you’ll go to bed tonight knowing that I’m right and that’s enough for me.

Not having saitama speak up here and having sweet mask mention this is elementary education is a small change, but it removes an element of sweet mask being so full of himself that he explains common knowledge to saitama, removes an element of saitamas resistance to exposition as well as the meta element of saitama disrupting narrative flow. And it makes him more agreeable. All of these are missing the point so hard it beggars belief and it's all just having one bit of dialogue changing speaker.

I always thought there was something missing from her design. She should have more ab muscles and she should look more fierce.
She shouldn't be showing off her flesh like that either, she's not her brother, she's a modest and decent girl, making her dress like that ignores her personality.

>>280659901
That's not a change, it's an error in the webcomic translation that didn't make any sense since the whole joke is that Saitama isn't paying attention in the slightest because of how bothered he is by Sweet Mask ordering for him (deservedly). We can't be certain if Saitama actually knew all this because he can be seriously ignorant at times.
In actuality, Murata uses the exact same dialogue as ONE did here.

>>280662002
And on top of that, the webcomic translation has been revised a little while ago, by the looks of it, so it's now correct there, too.

agree, she's more low-key than her brother, but that cover just turns her into another one of those generic Murata girls with no real personality left

So what's Sweet Mask's plan? He intend to make Saitama above the S-Class or something?

>>280664614
To out Saitama into a position of greater recognition, both within and outside of the association. Inside the association he'll get better Intel support and direction, and public awareness of such a ludicrously capable individual akin to blast will increase public support, bring peace of mind, and act as a major deterrent to criminal organizations and maybe even monster attacks. Let alone just making more efficient use of Saitamas overwhelming strength.

Which is all so much hassle Saitama would never go for it

>>280661894
I agree. I like her more in the WC. She looks more tomboyish, looks more like a fighter. More unique. She looks more generic in the manga—same with Webi

>>280664614
Sweet Mask is looking for a successor to his role as face of the association, so he's hoping that Saitama's superior strength could be complimented with aesthetic changes to make him a symbol of justice.

>>280657454

I kinda did but that's also partly because of the long ass time between chapters combined with disappointment over the Murata version.

Damn, the entire OPM cast is destined to remain incels... I suppose you can relate.

>>280649593
same, ONE’s art is just way too unique at this point and is a huge asset in storytelling some of these later plot beats. Something like Ryumon’s “I can do it because I know it’s the right thing!” just won’t be the same in Murata’s style.

>>280668632
Manga could still be passable if you removed every mention of Blast and God.

>>280667997
Are you implying the webcomic is funny nowadays? Yeah Genos killing an innocent man in cold blood was comical to you I’m guessing

>>280669888
Yes anon, you simply lack the nuanced thinking to understand why even during these past heavy chapters the comedy still hits.
Bofoi shitting all over CE is funny, Sweet Mask refusing the tank top and telling him to give it to someone that needs it is funny. Obviously these are plot important chapters so not comedy focused.

In the end, how many redraws did that shit have? I just kept skipping until I couldn't stomach the manga anymore.

>>280652602

>>280669348
Maybe if Murata's art still had the quality it had before the MA arc it would work, but for some reason it became much more soulless and seemingly low-effort after that and kept getting worse and worse. I mean, compare Bang and Metal Bat from before the MA arc and after it so you can see the difference between them before and after, for example. Even Tatsumaki and the vast majority of his art in general was also much better and more soulful before the MA arc compared to now. He has become a low-effort artist who makes everything much more generic and soulless.

>>280670027
>how many redraws did that shit have?
2, the first one wasn't much of a problem and was only used to add some things, the real problem was the second redraw.

>>280669348
>>280670158
He still disrespected the design of some characters, like Flash and Sonic for example, turning them into femboys even before the deterioration of his art though.

Nah, you're just a gay guy who likes femboys and doesn't care about disrespecting the characters because you want to masturbate to femboys.
Unlike you, I'm a genuine fan of the characters and that's why I hate it.

>>280651567
It’s not about “aura”. Yeah he’s an edgelord but the point is that only Saitama should be able to see through it so easily. Almost everyone else is rightfully terrified of him since his chuuni actions are legitimately threatening in their chuuni world. The manga beats you over the head that he’s actually not a bad guy. There’s a chapter where Suiryu sees him on tv saving a helicopter making a comedic screaming face and says he doesn’t look evil deep down. Him killing another centipede with metal bat and cartoonishly bickering with him. The fact that he has a crack in his monster design revealing his real face to show his humanity. All of It destroys any subtlety.

does murata have dementia or some neurdegenerate problem? why does the art look so bad now?

>>280670591
If he wants a female character in the group, he can simply add an extra character who is a female instead.

>>280651022
i will say that a lot of ONE's designs have also gotten "cuter" as his art has improved. i don't mind it and i love his current art but i kind of miss how ugly and idiosyncratic a lot of characters were in the early webcomic days.

>>280670619
I like Sonic. He can be cute and cool.

>>280670833
His art has been half assed since the MA arc, he is also "busy" with his anime studio probably.

I remember there was an audio book where Sonic disguised himself as Saitama to see if he could discover the secret of his power or something by imitating him, got into a fight with Atomic Samurai, got his ass kicked and because of that now Atomic Samurai thinks he's defeated Saitama. The audio books were written by ONE.

>>280649593
One’s art feels integral to the one punch man experience at this point. Even if the manga was a straight no change adaption just having everyone be super hot and sexy almost feels like another way of missing the original appeal. Not to say the aren’t was bad early on, but ever since the climax of the monster association the sketchy lines and more down to earth proportions and designs fit the world and tone of the series more. Like the silly and tropey yet serious world works in direct contrast with one’s unique grungy style.

>>280670619
Blame Murata for changing his design and making me horny.

at this point all i can feel towards the manga is a sort of morbid curiosity. genuinely a little excited to see how murata will butcher this arc.

>>280640660
Love seeing my fubuki there. Surprised it was the only one. Such a legendary daily and afterparty thread.

>>280671211
I have to disagree with most of what you said, I agree that his art style doesn't fit OPM anymore and that ONE's is better for OPM, but a lot of it has to do with perspective, how ONE makes the most expressive expressions, composition, the use of negative space and various techniques that make ONE's art have more impact, soul and feel better. It's not a question that the characters can't be beautiful or the art can't have better and more refined technical parts, but that Murata's style no longer suits this manga, that it has no soul, and that it's low generic effort made to do with as little effort as possible at that point and also that Murata simply straight up disregards the design of several characters and replace them with worse, more generic versions instead of actually trying to replicate the characters with better art as he did with Webigaza, Blast and several others.
I actually think that both, the artists of Versus and Bug Ego would be much better suited to OPM than Murata and would be suitable for the job if one of them were the artist instead of Murata.

>>280671211
>>280671606
Especially Bug Ego's, I feel his art style fits OPM very well.

I don't know if anyone can do paneling and composition as good as ONE at that point though.
ONE's paneling and composition are top-notch and really help the webcomic's appeal. It's genuinely extremely hard to find someone as good as him at this.

>>280652415
>>280654874
IDK, I don't get it either.
What does Child Emperor's talk with Bofoi show about this?

>>280661894
>She should have more ab muscles
No, even ignoring my own preferences she hasn't shown her midsection in the WC so there is no precedent.
You could argue that since she is a martial arts master she should, but it doesn't necessarily have to be like that.

>>280672269
Even Webigaza has ripped abs though. And I think that would really suit Suiko. It would give her more of the appearance of a martial artist and make her less generic. It's something you just know would fit well with the character. I also think they should be covered and only shown if her clothes were torn in battle though.

>>280670619
There's nothing that disrespects Sonic by making him look feminine. I mean he was clearly supposed to be a pretty boy even in the webcomic.

>>280672435
I wonder, will Murata give Webigaza ripped abs in the manga too?

he could still do pretty boy Flash but with normal clothes for normal humans like this image

Gradually I began to hate Murata's designs...

>>280672574
I don't think he will considering how he made her more generic.
>>280672654
And also high heels.

>Man...the OPM Manga FUCKING SUC-WOOOOAH SUIKO BIKINI!! BASED BASED BASEEED! MURATA NEVER MISSES! I LOVE THE OPM MANGA

>>280671606
Unironically pre-MA arc Murata was good enough for the job as long as he just followed ONE instead of trying to do his own thing.
>>280673623
The drop in quality once the MA raid redraws started is in fact quite noticeable.

>>280624871 (OP)
thanks murata

>>280627711
When will he deliver?

>>280672574
He softened up Super S' abs, so maybe not.

>>280648893
Man if you're gonna be this nitpicky just shut up.
This was a nice addition.
We need more of those and less stuff like the That Man's storyline.

>>280648623
Among us lol

>>280661894
>making her dress like that ignores her personality
Implying Murata cares about the character's personalities

>>280661894

Tomboys are even more likely to wear swimsuits...

This tweet single handedly destroyed the manga

>>280653888

>>280671606
Maybe I could’ve worded it better. I love one’s expressions, composition, and style. The manga has definitely lost this “soul” for lack of better term with its art and character designs in multiple cases. But my idea is that even if the manga had nailed all of it, i might still like it more since the art feels like it’s the way it is on purpose and not from one’s limitations. I feel like he could’ve made the early chapters look a lot better but they’re that way because it was probably envisioned a lot simpler and more comedic originally. The story changed and as it and the characters grew more heart as it went on so the effort he put into it also increased, but still keeping the scrappy artsyle in its dna despite the now added detail. It’s something only he could pull off in my eyes. I haven’t kept up with versus but do with bug ego and the difference with those is it feels like those are made in collaboration and in tandem with one and the artist strengths. While the manga is remaking the webcomic out of the idea that it was only done that way because of one’s lack in skill and it isn’t the way it is on purpose.

>>280658687
Murata blocks anyone that shittalks him. Why would he engage with you? Also Smurf moved on to an audience that truly recognize his talent and kisses the ground he walks on while he promotes his patreon: The Fairy Tail threads.

>>280672252
Best guess is that Bofoi works as a stand-in for ONE being the wise voice explaining the true essence of creativity/heroism to a Murata who is represented by Isamu, and who is presented as having childish ideas that crumble upon scrutiny.

Hell the Brave Giant by itself it's a microcosm of it. It's big, it's cool, it's boastful, and it folds like fucking paper against the metal series that just does what needs to be done without fanfarre, and is cooler for it.

>>280674687
I do think there's a skill issue here even if he drew in certain ways on purpose in parts.

>>280673294
I miss when Blast looked like Saitama but with hair and more buff.

>>280674850
I don't know since I dropped it but did CE keep the giant robot from the manga or was it redrawn too?

>>280674938
In the manga? He keeps the mech through the redraws though it eventually gets busted. In the webcomic it just debuted.

The robots in the Metal Knight metal series are based on chess, but the number of robots is not the same as the number of pieces of a chess player, he only has one piece of each type.
It would be cool if in the future his metal series could have the same number of robots as the number of pieces of a chess player.

>>280650060
>endless phoenix man retcons

>>280675004
>In the webcomic it just debuted.
Not really, it's not the same.
The robot he uses in the manga is the Brave Giant, the one he used in the webcomic is now the super Brave Giant, from the name we can guess that it was supposed to be an upgrade over the Brave Giant.
>>280674938
Also, the super Brave Giant he created in the webcomic seems to have feet bigger than mountains.

>>280675118
>doesnt know how to foreshadow
>there was no foreshadowing for Garou
Look at this braindead retard.
>it's ONE's fault Murata is a braindead retard

>>280655078
No, the story time ended. It caught up to the current chapter; that post is a direct response to the person asking about the WC comic threads we were having.

>>280642391
this is technically a redraw, there was a version of this without speedlines

>>280675158
So it is basically a reference to Murata that form over function is bad, since Murata is obsessed with scaling things up without regard for anything else.

>>280675077
>It would be cool if in the future...
He ded

>>280648744
I am surprised by how faithful to the WC this is. If it wasn't because the Manga already fucked up some things that simply can't be taken back and make the story weaker, I might even give it a re-try.

I do want to see how Murata Draws Amai unleashed form.

I'd say a major fuck up of the manga was how it kept buffing the heroes. Saitama's feats in the webcomic are a much bigger deal because they are things only he can do in comparison to what everyone else is capable of. I give Murata a pass for villains, since it's mostly just meant to be fodder to make Saitama look good when he destroys them, despite their outlandish abilities. When a bunch of S-Rank and even A rank heroes are doing stupidly powerful things, half of Saitama's actions don't feel as big anymore. Just look at the first examples of things Saitama could do in the early chapters of the manga, compared to what most heroes are doing in the last 10-20. Everyone in the OPM manga world is surprised and shocked at the aftermath of what Saitama did to that one Seaweed monster (the destroyed building), but now, heroes can fuck buildings up like that no biggie.

TL;DR: It's just a power level wank manga now. That wasn't the point of OPM originally. Power level wanking should have only stayed as a thing the community themselves did.

>>280675160
Why did you reply to me and not the other anon? I'm saying that he passed blame on ONE for something Murata didn't understand.

>>280652602
>every chapter has Tome in a bikini or some shit as the opener

>>280675280
mb

>>280674792
To be fair, Smurf developed an anti-fanbase of weirdos who hate him way more than an average person should. He got banned from the Yugioh subreddit because one of the mods had some personal hate for him as an artist and kept deleting all of his SFW art posts before banning him for no reason. I just think that shit is weird.

>>280675297
It's all good. It's just weird how the blame stuff has been over the years. I remember when people were pointing "A story by ONE" as a means to remove all changes and blame from Murata, even when we had tweets and live streams of the guy actively making decisions on the fly and rolling with them. It's been a constant goalpost movement. Murata likes power level stuff and rewrites. He also likes to drag on shit we don't care about or aren't as hype as he thinks it is. Remember when the Giant Centipede fight with Metal Bat took nearly a fucking year to finish? Then there's his waifu obsession and shaping chapters around it. I like sexy bitches as much as the next guy, but when he ends up rewriting like 5 chapters just because he regrets killing his OC, that's fucking annoying.

I still think the monster Garou fight in the manga was the most retarded thing ever and ruined the manga beyond repair. The moment you confirmSaitama has a limit and can be surpassed (doesn't matter if he kept surpassing said limit right after), you ruin the whole idea of the character. Garou was meant to be super strong, not world ending threat that caused time travel bullshit.

>>280674544
That's ignoring her personality. She is not just a generic tomboy, she barely even knows society. She is a very traditional and demure person.
He also ignored her personality in the way he wrote her interactions with Suiryu, not just her clothes, he made her more generic.

>>280674554
Why

>>280674544
That's ignoring her personality. She is not just a generic tomboy, she barely even knows society. She is a very traditional and demure person.
But well, I guess it's kind of forgivable as long as he doesn't make her dress like that in the manga itself. The way the characters dress on the cover doesn't always represent how the characters normally dress.

>>280675524
Do you really not know, or do you think this isn't the funniest shit ever?

He is also "wearing" those same shoes. Honestly Murata is so impulsive it's amazing.

>>280675634
This is new to me, blast is fucking stupid that hurts

>>280674544
>>280675599
And so far he has dressed her accurately in the manga itself I guess.

>>280675634
>webcomic blast
>generic looking outfit but kind of matches Saitama's in a way

>>280675634
>Honestly Murata is so impulsive it's amazing.
This sums him up perfectly and why the manga is in such a sorry state. He decides on things on a whim and this either results in half-baked ideas or him retconning entire fights on impulse

>>280675761
I thought webcomic Saitama had a zipper too, but it’s just the manga design. I wonder if that’s what inspired him to give blast that.

>>280675665

It's the reason 2chan refers to Manga's Blast as "shoe-man". Also, the WC Story Time's collage
>>280630278
has this piece of beautiful art in it:
>>280617609


I stole pic related from a google search

>>280675761
>Blast is Saitama from the future
>Blast is Saitama when still got hair
>Blast is dead
>Blast is Saitama level he got to bored to try to be a hero
>Blast gonna be the last villain

>>280675878
Whether you like it or not, we don't know shit about Blast in the web comic and that's what makes it hype (or at least it did back then). Like I said about power level bullshit earlier, it's fine if it's just the fanbase enjoying themselves comparing them. When the manga started doing it, that ruined the fun, because that's not what OPM is meant to be. Murata in the earlier chapters knew how to properly stay on track and not push past the goldilocks spot he had with hyping up a villians abilities. Now.. it's just DBZ shit. It's like he's trying to make every non-Saitama fight feel like when Vegeta or Piccolo arrives to fight the big bad and show off their new abilities. That can work in small increments, but again, when everyone has stupidly absurd feats, then Saitama's don't feel as big anymore.

>>280670619
Can you just bitch about the current plot instead? No one cares about your sudden butthurt over 10 year old redesigns

>>280675691
I will be the first one to praise the WC and shit on the manga, but I really believe people attacking characters designs like this, or god forgive art, are stepping into contrarian realm.

I love the WC panels, fluid motion expressed in 2D, and even expressions, but Murata is a great artists and her characters tend to look really good when he doesn't go over the top and ruins it, like with Shoeman no need to look at things black and white / all or nothing, and pretend the man can't draw.

>>280675634
Wasted opportunity

>>280675458
I was somewhat disappointed that pic related was rewritten because this was probably the only change post-MA that I thought was interesting. Where instead of continuing their big dumb fight that saitama was bound to win regardless he decides to have a chat with garou about what is problem is. Definitely not the most climactic ending to an arc but it was at least something different from murata's usual powerlevel shonen wanking and same faced bimbos.

>>280675264
People forget this, but the beginnings of arcs in the manga are usually matched with the WC. Things don't start getting fucked with until later.

>>280675634

>>280676246
It's fine if you like it, but It misses the point completly is the issue:
The webcomic sets up to do a simple thing, show Garou that if he thinks that reaching the ultimate power could solve his issues, then what does it mean when somebody else has ultimate power and opposes your views?

He is convinced that all he has to do to achieve his dreams is be the perfect villain, and once that's done he is the victor, but that simple minded mentality full of issues clashes, ironically, with the simple truth of an ultimate wall.
If strength is all it takes, then is anybody strong enough justified to stomp on you?

This comes together very clearly when Garou, later on, screams "If all it took was punching to solve issues" (paraphrased) when facing the robots as he tries to be a respectable adult.

>>280671073
very true. It could as well be him marginally improving on figure drawing. Here's another comparison. He draws characters with more rounded faces and larger eyes nowadays and somehow you can still tell them apart

I like Suiko.

>>280649593
he's technically limited in terms of "wow this looks pretty" but his paneling, posing, structure is fucking peak, he's really good at nailing how a scene should feel as its playing out and he has setup-execution down pat

>>280671606
This may be a weird opinion but I think George Morikawa at his best would've been a good fit for OPM.

>>280649988
some moments like "this apple hasn't even realized it's been cut" can be made funnier by being drawn hyperrealistic in Murata's style but yeah most of it gets dragged down because he's too invested in making things look 'cool'

>>280625790
Literally a year worth of redraws from Murata autism and ONE not understanding his own work

>>280652415
>Shoeman
Our hero.

>>280670833
>why does the art look so bad now?
It's been a gentle decline since the Phoenix Man redraws. The MA surface fight still looks solid but each major chapter you can see a dip in art quality until we got to the point now where art looks medicore and uninspired.

Murata just burnt himself out and it looks like he doesn't do anything more than line work nowadays

was golden sperm actually made of gold? he looks all fleshy and veiny in the wc, he is not even shiny like darkshine.

>>280677570
Gold is of the softest and malleable metals.

>>280676407
No I agree. Even if the table talk was followed up it wouldn't be nearly as good as the WC for a number of reasons. Like garou's faux-villainy being neutered and turning into an explicit hero tsundere who makes goofy faces so saitama chastising him for seeking villainy as an easy out wouldn't hold much weight. Still, I maintain that it would've been a somewhat better alternative to garou and saitama farting across space and time featuring God and the blastvengers.

>>280625790

>>280680121
>Saitama is built for Fubuki anyway
I think you mean the other way around

>>280675761
the running theory among Chinese fans is that blast is Murata's self-insert, fitting for a character so devoid of likeable qualities.

I still can't fucking believe Murata saw Garou's character development moments during the MA arc, scrapped them and then tacked them on at the end as a gag of Garou going to the psychiatrist. It actually blows my mind.

>>280680931
>Murata
kek

>>280681333
Sure faggot.
At this point why is Murata even doing the manga anymore? According to you braindead retards ONE is just sabotaging him by making it purposefully shit.

>>280652415
I know we are aware of what they think about the wc/manga over on 2ch, do they know what we think over here? Or do they just not give a shit about filthy gaijins

>>280677070
ONE is not a talented artist. He’s at the level of a Deviantart teenager doing fanart scribbles. He IS a talented story-board director. He knows exactly what he WANTS to show, he’s just bad at drawing it.

>>280682338
he knows how to draw, he just never tries

>>280682338
>t.

The optimal solution would be for ONE to create the story-boards and for a professional artist to bring them to life. The webcomic’s story-board direction is limited because ONE has to work around his own lack of drawing talent. By linking him with a professional artist who’s paid to draw what he’s told to, ONE will be able to create story-boards NOT limited by his own lack of drawing skill resulting in something that would be better than either the webcomic or the manga.

Murata, when he’s at 100%, is a 10/10 artist. However, he’s not nearly as good as a director / writer. It would be great if all he did was read the webcomic and then translate it into a high-quality interpretation — but that’s not his job. It’s HIS manga, it’s basically just an official OPM fanfiction.

>>280682436
>he’s not nearly as good as a director / writer
he is one of the most dogshit writers on the face of the earth

>>280682461
False. There are shounen creators who are worse such as Hori. There are, at least, a few Murata original additions to OPM which are good, and there’s hardly anything but the most basic hack shit in MHA.

>>280682506
Hori is just mediocre, MHA is uninspired shounenslop. Murata's OPM reads like it was actually written by a retard.

>>280677570
My guess is its probably a play on japanese words or a pun.
Thanks to Gintama I know kintama (gold balls) is slang for testicles

>>280675785

>>280675265
In Saitama's case Murata tries to compensate by giving him even more ridiculous feats, which is its own issue but at least keeps him above the others, but the real victims are the strongest heroes who *aren't* Saitama, since their feats either got nerfed or no longer stand out.
Tatsumaki no longer stands head and shoulders above the other S-class when Drive Knight and Genos were actually useful against Psykoroshi; Bang didn't get to instantly gib two cadres who the others all struggled immensely with while Atomic got a new sword; Sweet Mask was a joke who did nothing while the others fought; and King's swordsmanship, which was so incomprehensibly far beyond Samurai's that he could only see it as the work of gods, leaving him terrified by King's ability, is reduced to a trick achievable by the average master swordsman, and something he should be able to replicate himself with probably a couple months of training.
Nothing has weight in Murapan. It's all flash with no substance or regard for the greater picture.

>>280670724
>but the point is that only Saitama should be able to see through it so easily.
Which is very weird and forced because he isn't subtle at all about it. I would very much have other people realize Garou's tsundere's act if the alternative is everyone but saitama being braindead
>I'm gonna kill the child!
>I'm gonna do it for real guys!!
>Hold me back nigga hold me back
>*never tries to kill any of the S class present despite there being a lot of them*
ONE has this bad tendency when he makes everyone in the story conveniently retarded to move the story. One of the worst offender is how the normalfags reacted to Sweet mask monsterizing to save them.

>>280683819
Other heroes are too caught up in the act to notice, Garou also notes that its weird Saitama can actually see where the kid is actually at in the dark. It also helps he can't just punch Saitama to the ground when he begins to question him.

>>280683819
You're failing to look at the story from an in-universe perspective.
>Which is very weird and forced because he isn't subtle at all about it.
>I would very much have other people realize Garou's tsundere's act
The heroes don't care about what the force behind Garou's madness is, they don't fucking care if he's being "tsundere", the point is they see how dangerous he is, and how much pain he's caused to many people already, they also don't know if he has killed anyone or not, since they can't independently confirm that.
Just because he's being "chuuni" doesn't mean he can't be dangerous. He's insanely strong, and he's shown that he's willing to use that strength to fuck people up, he's extremely dangerous and needs to be stopped.
Hell, the heroes can't even confirm for sure that some of the S-class heroes laying in the mud aren't dead, they very well could be.
Just because the heroes don't take a second to go "omg he's so tsundere lol" doesn't make them braindead, it's you who's retarded for expecting that lmao

>>I'm gonna kill the child!
>>I'm gonna do it for real guys!!
>>Hold me back nigga hold me back
If you saw a guy at a mall with a gun, pointing it at someone, you don't just walk up to him like he's not dangerous, just because he's being cringy.

>One of the worst offender is how the normalfags reacted to Sweet mask monsterizing to save them.
Ah yes, a society that's been terrorized by monsters since god knows how long is scared by one of their beloved heroes turning into a monster, how retarded.

>everyone in the story conveniently retarded to move the story.
I think you're being conveniently retarded to not realize that your criticism is fucking stupid

>>280683819
Garou has made a reputation for himself. They have no reason to assume his threats aren't genuine. From where they're standing he's just a sadistic piece of shit.

>>280682506

>>280683064
the whole arc is in one night

Very well said
>>280683378
>It's all flash with no substance or regard for the greater picture.

The people defending Murata almost always have this same problem of not looking at the big picture these changes have to the story, flow, and character development

>>280674590
Awooga

Uhm, curious how ONE never came out and said this. It would be so simple. Almost like he's still working on the manga.

>>280675458
That's not what that graph says retard, that's rate of growth. In my humble opinion; the manga finished the plotline of the martial arts tournament where martial arts have a use for saitama, demonstrating their differences in nature, one being immovable and the other being adaptive. It also showed that even if Garou received even a fraction of the power he wanted, he'd just end up ruining everything. In the webcomic, saitama was more of a bully who wanted to stop Garou from holding back while still being a responsible hero, while manga saitama was more responsible after seeing genos being wrecked on the battlefield adn hearing the little shit saved him. He actively tried to defuse the situation while lecturing Garou on his childish antics. It's called the ma arc for a reason, which is martial arts. And garou the wolf, turns into a monster because of full moon.

>>280685823
>why isn't ONE pushing somebody else under the bus when the shit hits the fan

>>280685823
Murata is 100% the guilty party, but I can't blame ONE for not slinging mud. That's below him. It's like watching your best friend marry a girl you fucked in high school, you just gotta smile, keep silent and hope for the best.

>>280685823
One isn't some princess needing to be saved, they obviously still talk to each other and make the volumes.

>>280685930
>It's called the ma arc for a reason, which is martial arts.
I'm not sure about that.

Ah yes, and Trump is not on the Epstein files because he didn't come out and say that he is.

It's both you fucking fools. It's about Garou.

>>280624871 (OP)
Will he get invited to No More Heroes?

>>280685823
I think it's just part of their culture to shut up and take the bullying. Kishimoto has enough clout and Naruto royalties to never lift a finger again if he doesn't want to. ONE has Mob Psycho, sure, but he’s still a newbie in the pecking order. Murata's got way more clout than him, so throwing him under the bus would make ONE look bad.. assuming he even could. Maybe ONE's signed contracts to keep his mouth shut, who knows. That’s my headcanon.

Honestly, it could be that both are screwing this up together, but the manga feels so far off from the webcomic that it’s hard to believe ONE’s actually signing off on all this trash.

>>280676008
He was good before, but Murata's current art and designs are to a large extent soulless dogshit that isn't suitable for OPM. Of course, him being a soulless Bugman also contributes to this. He is good at drawing characters and objects on a technical level, but the art and design no longer feels good in a large number of cases.

>>280667521
>Saitama vs Boros
That wasn't meant to be funny in both the webcomic and the manga though.
ONE even had to specifically explain to Murata that what makes Boros cool is that he always keeps his dignity because Murata wanted to make a clown out of him.

>--On the flipside, has ONE-sensei ever given you pointers on how to draw something?

>Murata:On occasion. For instance, during the big showdown with Boros. Since I felt this was the heavyweight championship of the universe, I tried to make it as flashy as possible. However, midway through when Boros starts losing ground to Saitama, there were places where he appeared clownish…ONE-sensei pointed out to me that the reason Boros is popular is because he always retains his dignity, even against Saitama. That made it all click for me, and I redrew things from square one. When it comes to the storyline, characters, and dialogue, all of that flows from ONE-sensei’s head, so I constantly check in with him.

Webigaza's personality is just a watered-down Fubuki, she's still driven by jealousy, vanity and ambition but atleast she doesn't boss others around like an entitled bitch.

>>280624871 (OP)
>>280661894
Looking again at the design of Suiko that Murata made, if it felt good enough before, it feels bad now even though it should be the same design. This must be because Murata's art has lost its soul.

Yeah, and unlike fubuki she's canonically described as attractive in-universe, fubuki hasn't been called hot by anyone nor herself in the WC

>>280687300
Even comparing the covers, Murata's current Suiko feels far inferior to the one he drew before for some reason.

Can Murata show us nude Fubuki already?

>>280675077
>he only has one piece of each type.
Pretty sure we already saw multiple bishops

>>280687465
Why has Murata's art declined so much?

>>280687951
Outward appearance reflects the inner state of mind.

>>280678747
Oh, my mistake. Yes, that whole galactic thing was insane.

Nice sneaky WC thread we ended up having.

>>280687821
We did?

>>280685823
Because the japanese are too polite to say anything. They can't deny nor confirm because they are just too polite.

Saitama is the ai

I went back to check and it turns out I was wrong, those are different units and aren't even Bofoi bots I think

>>280688276
I think they are Bofoi units, but they are an inferior mass-produced version, not the metal series.

Interestingly, the mass-produced robot version of Bofoi seems superior to the organization's, even being able to fly, which makes sense considering that the organization stole an older version of Bofoi's data.

>>280688717
mass-produced model*

>>280688276

>>280688276
3 eyes = bofoi, 1 eye = neo

>>280624871 (OP)
Why can't One draw this good?

>>280689144
Because he doesn't have the innate talent, and yet he makes up for it and has improved a lot.

>>280688957
I wonder if that's why the eye position is swapped.

>>280688957
I just want you to know that I respect you for fixing the translation, anon.

The manga followed the webcomic 1:1 for once and a bunch of you niggers were complaining and making shit up before the translation even came out
It's almost like the lot of you are just shitposting and don't actually read either

>>280687974
>>280687951
>>280687465
>>280687300
These look the fucking same, you can't be serious

>>280690361
More like 0.8:1

>>280690401
In this specific chapter? I don't count very minor stuff like changing a background snake for bacteria

>>280690361
>lot of you are just shitposting and don't actually read either
There’s no point wasting my time on something subpar

>>280689144
He probably could if he learned more anatomy, aside from that he only lacks as an artist in terms of consistency Otherwise his style would be pretty much like the Mob Psycho anime
Murata should take a hiatus from the manga and teach ONE to draw hot(ter) girls

>>280690603
But you do, you waste time shitposting about a webcomic and a manga you don't even read

>>280690657
Shitposting and shitting on the manga is way more productive than reading that sloop

>It's almost like the lot of you are just shitposting and don't actually read either
Yes

>>280690361
>>280690723

>>280690387
No they don't, I can't put it into words, but they look good, they don't look generic, soulless and unappealing like the pic in the OP, they actually look great.

>>280690723
I did actually read it and I'm not shitposting.

I just come here to bully the murataslop defenders and enjoy watching them cry whenever their disingenuous arguments get dismantled yet again

>>280690939
The one in the OP almost feels like it was AI generated or something.
