>>239320644I'm so sad
>>239320644Here's your S-Class Rank 1 Hero, did he live up to your expectations?
>>239320866>kept up with, assumedly, the strongest character in the series up to this point>focused on mitigating damage and saving lives, as a hero should>had a kinda cool fighting styleHe was aight
HYPE = REVIVEDWEBCOMIC = IRRELEVANTSMURF = SEETHING AND MALDING
>>239320866>did he live up to your expectations?Yes. Heroes are a joke in OPM, and nothing screams joke more than this clown. Just look at him.
>>239320866Murata over uses this kind of reaction.
>>239321503Sounds strangely familiar to another fan artist drawing a doujin of another popular shonen manga.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaVQyeKvi7oYOOOOOOOOOO MURATA YOOOO
>>239320644I'd bet $100 that Blast saves Genos and everyone else next chapter with some time fuckery
>>239320644>shonenshit>killing anyone offMurata and doing whatever he can to revive interest in the very series he ruined and it shows.
>>239320866He can take god level threats
Flashy flash is the only other hero besides blast and saitama who isn't laying down like a bitch
This is gonna turn out to be some kind of prophetic vision or some shit of psykos
>>239320866He didn't take any damage and trade blow with Garou better than Saitama
>>239321761king too
>>239320866He didn't even live up to Garou's expectation. He told the bitch to step aside.
>>239320866he literally didnt job because he just let saitama arrive
>>239321032Either Smurf is braindead or just trolling the ONEchuds. This is literally ONE’s style of writing. Fake deaths, le epic ora ora fist
>>239321761the only other Hero besides those two who can compare to him is Tatsumaki
>>239320644Thanks, OP!So lancerman's nosebleed WAS indicating radiation poisoning.
Story by ONEEdit by Murata
This shit unironically reads like God mind raping Garou in real time. The thought process is a bipolar dialogue:>God: Absolute evil doesn't need anyone to understand it>Garou: Everyone will be miserable just by being around it>God: Finish the old man off right here>Garou: I'll never see Tareo again either>God: That’s how it needs to be, this is for his sakeAnd it shows Tareo is already fucking dying or dead in reality.
>even blast calls it GodSo it's without a doubt really GodCool I guess
>>239320644>People unironically think he's deadI have a DEATH OF BATMAN comic to show you
Murata is the worst.
inb4:>My cranial structure contains a small power source capable of maintaining my brains functions for several hours if my torso's core is damaged/removed.
>>239321604YOOOO THIS NEW CHAPTER BUSSIN FO REAL NO CAP SENPAI
>>239329103OPM manga adaptation ended with this page
>>239320866Awful design, but his teleportation powers are cool I guess. The way that he got shoehorned so suddenly in the middle of all that's happening is also really lame and feels forced as fuck6/10 hero
>>239320866The Android #16 cosplay and boomer shades are fucking terrible.
All I'm saying is that Saitama's serious speed should have been too much for Garou to be able to copy Saitama in time. After all, he hasn't seen him use his full speed yet.He should have been punched during the motion of attempting to copy him instead.Doesn't matter since Rank 1 Jobber (Blast) will probably just turn back time next chapter I bet.
If all this buildup doesn't lead to something extremely anti-climactic I'm going to be disappointed.
>>239320866yeah
>>239320644the fuck is this alien X looking motherfucker
>>239329194fr fr my nigga
>>239320644>>239320866blast is the most disappoint here , not only he not the strongest of all , he also fail to notice saitama strength .
>>239321815everything since the fighter jet was actually a vision in psykos's head, we're still only halfway done that fight
>>239320644In the databook, Fubuki speculates that Blast is stronger than King, can shoot lasers from his eyes and rules over psychic powers, and has the ability to command trillions of robots. She hypothesizes that he could beat the rest of the S-Class all at once.blast is not shoiwng any of these ability yet .
>>239330563What if I told you that Saitama's power comes from radiation?
>>239332370I mean, all he has to do is banish them to another dimension. Seeing as he managed to keep up with Garou's movements, he can easily trap the rest of the S classes.
Guys, don't you get it? Garou got premonition powers from god, Saitama will crush the premonition once it's over and get over with gayrou
I'm really surprised how many people thought this chapter was good. We've totally lost anything interesting about why people would want to fight or why Garou sees heroes as hypocritical. Everything that makes this actually interesting or grounded. If anything this feels like rushing to just end the manga in a few chapters, which is annoying because I wanted to see Saitama vs. Tatsumaki.
>>239333751They're not webcomic criers.
>>239333765Yeah yeah everything is just extremes for you isn't it? You 100% love it or you're 100% crying because the webcomic is perfect. Couldn't be anywhere in the middle oh no.
>>239332370Yeah well Fubuki also used a boxcutter to attack Saitama so maybe she's not the smartest pair of breasts.
>>239333845>Webcomic>Perfect
Why this manga attracted the most autism retards ? Why they still keep reading it and posting it here if they didnt like it ?
>>239334240Are shounenfags fucking illiterate or something? Are you an ESL?
>>239333845You're the one who said it and crying, not me.
>>239321563Dragonball super?
>>239334538If i want to read award winning kinos i read a book not a manga
>>239334604Thanks for the confirmation. Please learn English before posting again.
>>239320866I fully believe WDM is the strongest S-Class now. He's the only one whomst hype wasn't deflated in any way. His mystery outlived the likes of Drive Knight and Blast.
>>239321815Saitama will table flip so hard time will reverse and the story will take the webcomic route instead, on the day that the final manga chapter releases, ONE will work on the webcomic again
>>239334625You will enjoy my shit english and you will cope with it. And the more you hate OPM the more i enjoy it. Greetings from Indonesia.
Damn, as Indonesian I am embarrassed with my fellow countryman.

>>239329103Remember what they took away from you
>>239321761Metal Bat isn't shown with the dying heroes, he's gonna ENTER in 1 HP mode next chapter.
There's only two scenarios that's going to happen.Either 1. Saitama has finally taken an L to his record by allowing a villain to kill his own loved one in front of him like some weakass regular shonen protag when the whole point of his character is to be able to teleport and easily stop bad guys from doing too much harm.Or 2. It's another "LOL We just joking. This is actually an illusion/Saitama trolling."
>>239336247That was never the point of Saitama's character, maybe it was too subtle for you to get but Saitama is a horrible hero, he could save so many more but he spends a lot of time lazing around and being a hero "for fun" only going out when he sees someone who can give him a challenge. How did you not get that I don't know, not exactly subtle.
>>239336375Yeah, with regular random strangers. But for actual important characters and moments he's meant to be a deus ex machina gag. That's been his whole role throughout the entirety of the manga/WC. How have YOU not realized that? There's a reason why practically no innocent people have died onscreen in the series until recently. I guess you really have bought into the recent concept of this series being some super serious story first and not a parody first.
>>239336375>but he spends a lot of time lazing around and being a hero "for fun" only going out when he sees someone who can give him a challengeI think this is the opposite of a core central theme in the story.Heroism is about actions and consequences: choosing to help people and succeeding. It doesn't matter why you're doing it, all that counts is whether you are doing it successfully in the first place.Mumen Rider is not an ideal hero because for all his heroism he looks down on himself and doesn't believe he can get stronger, and so Mumen loses every physical confrontation he has, but because he's noble people don't care he doesn't offer a lot of results. Conversely, look at how Puri Puri Prisoner is portrayed even though he gets results. The series doesn't shy away from how vile of a person he is and how much disgust he inspires. Anybody can be a hero, and Puri, a serial rapist, is a hero.Garou placed heroism on such a high standard that he was completely unable to picture himself being a hero at all. He wanted all of them to be more than just simple people doing good in the world. The series depicts heroism as something easy instead of something only a holy madman would do. The former is far more optimistic and attainable than the latter. Being a hero can be nothing more than a hobby, and that is fine.
>>239320866>>239321815Garou will kill Saitama and then it will cut back to the "rewritten" sit down scene in the house with Saitama saying something like "Is that how you imagined it to go?"
This crap about Garou copying his opponents has ruined everything.It was fine when he copied TECHNIQUES, but making up that he now he can straight up copy the strength/energy of the opponent's blows is asinine.And it's an 100% asspull to get around the fact that Saitama's whole thing is that he has close to 0 actual combat skills but that's rendered completely irrelevant by his overwhelming power. So now Garou can just straight up conjure power out of thin air just because. Fuck you.
garou guaranteed his death, what a retarded move
>>239336922Actually, Garou will match Saitama, maybe even push him against the ropes, and the usual sheep fanboys will gush over how hype and intense this all is and that Saitama isn't invincible since Murata (or ONE) has been "building up that he really isn't invincible" and that "they're finally showing that God is a real challenge"
>>239336922At this point that would be a happy development. I can't stand him anymore.
At first they made him a misunderstood hero and then they made him edge incarnate? To keep his character consistent they'll probably say God influences him but that'll in turn make him a damsel in distress that needs to be saved by "the hero" instead. Holy shit, this thing is going full blown capeshit isn't it? I bet they're going to redeem the S class by having them set aside their differences and unite together to "save" Garou instead.
>>239334604>muh oscarsyikes underage spotted caring about artificial crap done for money LMAO
>>239337097the series about heroes is going full capeshit?
>implying GodGarou can beat Serious SaitamaWatch the next chapter when Garou is almost dead on Page 1 lmao
k i am now fully converted. WHAT.THE.FUCK.WENT.WRONG.
>>239320644This is the same manga that redraw a chapter 15 times just so some irrelevant background characters wouldn't be dead from sweet mask. How you guys still fall for this stupid shit is beyond me
>>239337369Nothing
>>239336775You know this is God doing but not Garou right ?
Why Smurf trying so hard to trash the series. If he doesnt like it he simply just skipped the series.
>>239337369ONE leaving OPM on autopilot mode to focus on his Mob Fujo 100.
>>239337545He's an insanely jealous fag, have you seen his own garbage manga?
>>239337545>>239324114>>239321032>bringing up a shitty fetish artist in every threadShut the fuck up you cancerous faggot
>>239337323I like how you are treating this as the most reasonable outcome when in the past the very notion of anyone surviving a genuine serious punch was out of the question.
>>239337579>his own garbage mangaNot that anon but show me
>The entire point of Garou's character is based on him hating how the strong pick on the weak>He actually secretly want to be a good guy>Murata made him picked on defenseless Genos Nice writing, Murata
>>239329075An omnipotent deity, creator has absolutely no need to do what "god" is doing. "god" is just a lovecraftian entity. Most likely something weaker than a great old one.
>New IP everytimeStop resetting your router you autist
So what are the chances that Garou can actually hurt Saitama at all? I haven't read the webcomic fyi
>>2393379390 if Murata and Ond don't decide to hack out. 100% if they do. Well have to wait and see.
>>239337939Garou's CNP matching Saitama's CNP and not getting visibly hurt by his punch was already way above anything that happened in the WC.Nothing in this chapter has any equivalent in the WC. Theoretically the whole point of the series is that Saitama can't get hurt but who the fuck knows with Murata/ONE at this point. They absolutely could have Saitama getting damaged and fans would still justify this as "they're finally showing what God is capable of".
>the more reddit likes the series, the more the Japanese drop itHas Murata unironically decided to just pander to the west now?
stop reading after Garou vs Saitama, what's happening now?
>>239323691King is actually unconscious, which unironically makes him heroic as he with his own body is shielding the girls even while unconscious.>>239321761And also has his sword.
Unironically kino chapterWebcomic fans on suicide watch. What we have now is 100x more interesting
>>239323691the joke has run its course
>>239338387Buggy said hi
>>239338289The fight is still ongoing, but Garou has cosmic radiation powers now and shoved his arm through Genos' chest complete with a panel of him with blank eyes which angers Saitama, and the radiation caused the S-Class Heroes to fall over without a fight save for Blast. Garou can also copy Saitama's strength.
>>239320866The portal punching was neat I guessI still like this guy better he has a proper job
>chapter has 26k upvotesDoombros...
>>239338464I'm sure reddit upvotes matter more than plummeting sales
>>239333751Normalfags are always like that.When shit starts burning they don't notice the smell. They keep consuming and only until they actually start getting sick do they realize that they've been eating not only shit, but burnt crispy shit all along, and then they finally abandon the product. Rinse and repeat.
>>239338457Just chalk it up to blast having another job in the past but he's a hero full time currently
Went from self aware parody (webcomic) to unironic shounen shit.
>>239338289>stop reading after Garou vs Saitama, what's happening now?Garou vs Saitama
>>239338583>Went from self aware parody (webcomic)You cucks are still perpetuating this meme?
>>239338529Sales have been stable for a while now, and I have a feeling they will be going up soon now that kino is back on the menu
I don’t get it. The point of Garou was that he was actually wanted to be a hero that took shortcut and decided being monster was easier. He wasn’t a bad person at all.This edgelord Garou is god awful.
>>239338529It's a web series, but keep pretending physical volume releases matter.
>>239338686>This edgelord Garou is god awfulHe was always a edgelord.
>>239338682...just look at this fight with Garou. Saitama told him "lol you are not taking this shit seriously" and one shotted Garou who basically then had a nervous breakdown and walked away.EVERYONE wanted to kill Garou then and Saitama just told them "lol no".A gag fight with Garou’s introspective aspect while this is edgy shounen garbage.
I don’t like this. Actually fucking hate it. This takes itself way too seriously.
>>239338686It's most likely not even Garou, just an evil version of himself
>>239338686>This edgelord Garou is Godfix'd
>>239337578isn't mob done already?
>>239338685>stableThey drop with almost every release, and volume 26's are looking even lower than the last>>239338721Surely you don't actually believe this
>>239338364manga would literally end and manga shills would slurp it up as Murata deserving the money and rest, the WC chapters after this being trash, and it's WC fan's fault for being angry at the manga.
I can make a conffesion? Right now I'm only following this series for Manako.I'm not joking.I used to have some interest in the series, but with all the redraws and that I'm only curious about this characters. Why was her so important that he made a redraw only to introduce her? Why she survived up to this point? What's his endgame with her? What she is going to do after this arc ends?At this point I barely care about what they do with Garou, or the manga in general. I only check to see if she appears.
>>239338876he's talking about season 3 production
Im just here for the ride at this point personally. Pretty good chapter.
>>239339081Me but with Do-S
>>239320644This chapter convinced me to drop the manga and stick to the web comic
>>239329146What brain? His skull is split in half.
>>239338122Saitama was unaffected by radiation/all the rest of Garou's attacks/the force to kick him to, and impact, the moon in less than a few seconds. His greatest strength is his durability at this point, while his power is falling behind and failing to "one punch" enemies.
>>239339042Insane it's reached the point of selling less than before the the first season was even announced.
>>239339214True, but I'm just saying they're already completely outdoing things that weren't in the WC. Having Saitama get hurt is not that off brand from what they've been doing at this point.
>>239336606Oh I see, we're arguing based on different beliefs whether Genos is actually gone, they'll totally bring him back.
>>239339331The current volume is even looking like it'll be significantly below 300k. Not good.
>>239339616he's right you know
>>239320866I hate his design so I haven't had any hype since his reveal, the costume screams gimmicky powers which is what he has.However I must defend his powerlevel, he hasn't jobbed at all. He was just focused on stopping Garou's rampage because it might destroy the world and was literally trying to take the fight somewhere else, while confirming he's on the level of Garou>If he doesn't listen to reason... this would be a battle for supremacy between two beings who manipulate the universeFrom his point of view, it's Saitama going full retard clashing fists with Garou since that will explode everything.Saitama also couldn't easily stop Garou and got knocked the hell away by the Gamma Ray, letting Garou teleport and kill people with cancer & punch through Genos. Stopping Garou's attacks isn't the best option, he has to be put down.
>>239339616Changing things to appeal to a more mainstream audience is always a mistake in any form of media.It is pretty funny seeing all the people who got upset because of how he was spot on with his statement.
>>239339616It's trending because westerners only care about stuff that happened in season 1 of the anime and Genos fuckijg died this chapter.It's the least mainstream it's ever been in Japan
Webcomic is done right? Not that it had an ending but it’s done.
>>239339616Kek, I can feel him seething. Must be rough samefagging on /a/ all day only for everyone to continue loving the manga
Is this the final arc of the manga? Reason I still read this shit is I wanna see Saitama vs Tatsumaki, but it looks like its headed somewhere else
>>239340036It is better this way. If this continues, Saitama vs Tatsumaki and other arcs would be butchered.
>>239337769Genos always has his suicide bomb heart now. he's never harmless.
>>239320866Yeah he literally sees serious punch and his only concern is the planet.Saitama is going to have to use full power punch isn't he?Also another note, Blast managed to make Garou bleed with direct attack, while Saitama's normal punch direct hit failed to achieve the same effect.
>>239339042Over 300k is very good. Volume 25 and 26 have been outselling most other shonen manga in June
>>239340036Probably not in my opinion. They foreshadowed Metal Knight and Drive Knight doing stuff. Also they introduced the idea of a lost moon blade which together with the sun blade will make Atomic Samurai somewhat more above dragon or something.
>>239339616he's not wrong, but at this point im happy to just consider murata's opm kind of its own thing.Fuck you madhouse you didn't have to go that fucking hard on the first season
>>239339616He forgot to mention that the only reason he found out about OPM is because of the anime and the "mainstream aspects."
>>239339616>mainstream>mainstream>mainstreamit's weird to find something due to its popularity and then pretend you were there before it got popular
>>239340112>other shonenAnon, I...Besides, they "outsold" other manga because nothing had a new volume out. Just look at this week's numbers, 7 manga outsold Volume 26's first week and I haven't even heard of some of them.
Punch.
>>239339616I think the webcomic shits on the manga in terms of storytelling, but holy shit is this guy a battered housewife if I've ever seen one
>>239340265https://mipon.org/manga-popular-japan/#OriconIt's also apparently one of the most popular digital manga. I don't know why you're trying so hard to pretend One Punch Man isn't huge
>>239339993Anon I have news for you...
>Saitama unironically gets angryIs Murata braindead? No way ONE is writing this anymore.
>>239339616He's right. The series has jumped the shark, probably multiple times now.
>>239340389The sage centipede chapters to the therapy ending used up all the funny.
I’m not going to lie I haven’t stopped wanting to see Saitama get his ass whooped since season 1.
>>239340360>use the stats for sales on a single site instead of the stats that take into account digital and physical sales>trust a site that calls OPM a shonenBut why?
You know I never thought about it before (because the manga with how unconsistent and bloated it is, is just kind of a blur in my mind at this point) but Blast has absolutely no parallels to Saitama in the manga.That was like the whole reason why people were excited when he showed up in the webcomic.
>>239337615We’re bringing up an official OPM merch artist.
>>239340555Well clearly they know the facts.
>>239320644Im unironically... NOT hyped. I really don't like this edge. It's very stupid. Murata should have just followed the webcomic version of this end portion. But nooooooo, he had to go all fucking quirky. then he realized no one liked the quirkiness so now he turned up the edge to 11. Crazy fuck
>>239340505>funnyIf only, table talk had some potential but Murata did a 180 and went full edge
>>239339616He's entirely correct.>>239340469It was done by Jetkos being played straight honestly.
Honestly? I like this chapter. Probably because my expectations are literally on the floor
>>239340555https://erzat.blog/japan-top-weekly-manga-ranking-may-30-2022-june-5-2022/https://erzat.blog/japan-top-weekly-manga-ranking-june-6-2022-june-12-2022/Here's another source. Oricon ranking for June. Of course you can always cherry pick certain metrics to make One Punch Man look bad but it's impossible to hide how popular and successful the manga is
>>239340566Just thinking about the state of the manga and what it could have been is sad. It's like some 15 year olds edgy fanfic now.
>>239340592Maybe comedy is a better word. I’m surprised by the 180 here. People hated the comedy before Garou went cosmic.
>>239340574Fuck, I kneelmkwyo
>>239340640I just explained to you that those were months when little else notable was selling, and I'm mainly comparing OPM's current numbers to its old ones, and you think I'm the one cherrypicking?
>>239340640Who cares about something being popular if it is becoming worse? That's how a lot of series end up. Starts of good, it starts gaining popularity, remains consistently good for a while, it gets too popular, the author then starts appealing to normies and it becomes shit super fast.
We’d reach peak kino if Blast and Saitama are losing a 2v1 and then Godrou is split into Garou and God by the MOON BLADE.
>Genos DIES (yes he's not really dead)>Saitama gets actually ANGRY and goes SERIOUSCan we finally admit that this shit isn't better than any other edgy teenagers OPM fanfic. I hope Murata has some brain disease or something because this is pathetic.
>>239340753>Unparalleled Holy shit.
>>239340701> little else notable was sellingOk so that's your cope, got it. If OPM is still consistently doing very well in sales rankings despite selling worse compared to itself, there must be some external factor at play like the manga industry slumping in Japan or something. Not going to bother analyzing the sales trends of a bunch of other manga just to win a 4chan argument though.
>>239340317He's working on official models of Boros that have been approved by Murata himself which is a genuine achievement for someone who clearly took inspiration from Murata's artwork (I myself have attempted to brush off the Amai Mask redraws when they first released), but I'm not sure if Murata or the company hiring him are aware of his opinions on the current manga.Like a lot of fans he used to be an avid supporter of the manga who even defended some of the redraws as far as I'm aware. I think most of the people criticising the manga now used to think it was genuinely better than the webcomic, and the times when Murata used to stream were relaxing.
>>239340707Not to mention what the fuck does it matter how popular it is now?Star Wars was popular as fuck when force awakens came out and made a shitload of money, it was garbage but normals ate it up and thought it was the best thing ever. But eventually even they started smelling the shit when upcomic episodes come out and they realize how garbage it was all along.Same shit is gonna happen with OPM too, it really isn't that difficult to see.
all those coupons in genos' head... like tears in rain
I don't care what the fuck upcoming chapters will beI just want this arc to be over
>>239339532Oh no, I absolutely do know that Genos isn't truly gone, whether due to being revived or some spacetime shenanigans. The problem is a villain being able to do this in front of Saitama in the first place. A villain killing the hero's loved one in order to piss off the hero is a super cliche villain action. If Saitama is capable of being affected by this then he's both not as strong as he's been previously portrayed and this makes him closer to being a typical shonen protag when his whole shtick was not to be.In the past, I would've absolutely expected Saitama to just nonchalantly instant transmission in front of any villain trying this.
>>239340658I can't blame them. The Chibi stuff with the centipede and that Orochi redraw were unfunny garbage compared to the earlier comedic stuff
>>239320866Yes. He's objectively very strong, he's just nowhere near as broken as Saitama is.
>>239340608The signs were there since the Phoenix Man redraws, but the Amai Mask redraws were what sealed it in hindsight. I defended it when it came out, but as Amai Mask continued to get the short end of the stick it stopped feeling like it was intended to benefit his character. And rereading the old chapters I found myself genuinely enjoying them more than the newer version with how D-os was killed off-screen in contrast to the violent mercenary bloodbath, which left more to the imagination.
No matter how many discordfags come from smurf's discord to shit on opm, it's never been better. Keep crying and pissing in the wind, retards!
>>239340658The comedy was bad enough, but the alternative is actually even worse.
>>239336922One Punch Man is actually Garou
How fucking retarded is the average consumer of OPM?Does literally no one remember that two chapters ago garou's motivation was the butt of a stupid joke?Does literally no one remember that God didn't exist at all before they started shoving a moon in every panel?What the fuck is wrong with all of you?
Cosmic Garou hasn’t been pushed hard yet and we know from Homeless Emperor that divine powers aren’t really monster related. Garou might be less monsterized than earlier so will he start monsterizing again against Saitama?
>>239340810In 2016, at its peak, OPM sold 4 million copies with 3 volumes and was the 9th best selling manga.Now, in 2022, halfway through the year with two volumes out it only sold 870k and ranked 21st.That's a massive drop and you can't blame it on external factors like the industry. Obviously OPM is still a top manga, I'm not denying that, but it's popularity has been more than halved which is bad.
>>239340865It has been happening with OPM, the difference is that OPM is drawn, which is always more impressive than the CGI shitfest that is modern film. So the art alone will probably give it some longevity, but even the art has been dropping in quality.
I like this panel.
>>239340976In the past Saitama only let Genos get beat up because he insisted on fighting threats by himself. If some villain was about to finish Genos off while defenseless, he absolutely would have intervened. The fact he didn't here is character assassination.
>>239329075That word is ridiculously vague and differently defined everywhere.That life form is just super duper strong and it's likely that Blast's team's barriers are the only things keeping it away from Earth. It's surely not omnipotent if Blast's boys can keep him the fuck away.
The only retarded thing in this chapter is Saitama staying away just long enough for genos to get rekt.
>>239341119The Amai redraws were certainly proof of zero forward planning that wasted months. How people can still defend the idea of the manga having any direction after the Garou retcon within the space of a single chapter I don't know.
>>239341200No anime boost + normalfag surge disappearedIt's like saying One Piece has lost everytbing since it isn't selling as much as it did in 2009-2010 during Marineford
>>239336969That would be just fucking retarded.
>>239339616I knew it was over when i saw ONE sold OPM rights to Hollywood
>>239339993It's his discord as well lol
>>239341315No. Saitama must fight at full power and display his feats.
>>239336969Serious series is just Saitama barely tapping into his potential powers because he's afraid that if he went too far he'd damage the planet under him too much. Garou and that "God" character won't be able to keep up with the higher tiers.
>>239341184Each chapter takes a sharp turn in a different direction and the whiplash is drastic enough for readers to forget about previous developments because they are focusing on the current one. Old things get overshadowed by new things. The chapters move on and drop a concept along the way without anything being done to deliberately recontextualise or build something on top of it.A similar phenomenon can be seen in the Kengan threads with what happened to Edward Wu and everyone completely forgot about the void that is the Purgatory tournament.
>>239341375>fightspic
>>239336969Of course, since Garou has replaced Saitama as the joke character now. And what an absolute joke it is.
>>239340170>the only reason he found out about OPM is because of the anime and the "mainstream aspects."Source?
>>239337827obviously. this "god" doesn't even acknowledge saitama's strength until the fight with garou, so it's not even good at observing its surroundings.
>>239341203I'm honestly 90% sure that people will drop this shit en masse after this arc is over.Shonenfags and zoomers will lose all interest once the high world shattering stakes are gone, and the shit writing won't be enough to hold any interest. There's absolutely no longevity to this story anymore.It would honestly be for the better if the manga just ended after this arc.I hope the webcomic continues after mob s3, I miss OPM.
>>239341305One Piece sustained that level of sales for a while though, the drop for OPM was immediate and constantly declining. I doubt One Piece has gotten close to selling at pre-anime levels the way OPM is either.
>>239340317>but holy shit is this guy a battered housewife if I've ever seen oneCan you blame him. Imagine waiting ten fucking years for this and it royally shits the bed.
>>239341563Doesn't matter if it was sudden or not. Someone could say that "one piece is finished!!!" and use the drop from Marineford to now as evidence when that's clearly not the case. It's the same case for opm.
So we have two outcomes regarding Garou, either he's doing this of his free will or he's being controlled by God.If he's doing this of his free will, despite Blast saying otherwise, then that means he's crossed straight over to being a villain who actually murders people which actively goes against everything that his character is supposed to be. Obviously Genos is going to get revived and he wouldn't have actually murdered anyone, but he clearly intended to kill him and as far as he's aware he has killed him so he's still effectively done the one thing that Garou's never actually supposed to do.But in the more likely case that he is being influenced by God he's had all of his agency removed. He isn't at fault for anything, the S Class wanting to kill him won't be warranted because none of this was actually his fault and Blast can confirm that fact, not to mention that they wanted to kill him because of how effortlessly he beat them all down which isn't a thing here he's just been a walking Chernobyl which will be gone by the time God's possession ends. And the conclusion to his fight with Saitama, that everything Garou's done has been pointless because all he wanted to do was be a hero and that even with ultimate power he still tried to go easy on people is just something that's been entirely removed, and instead they have Saitama talking about how he's a good guy because he saves lives by total accident and I just don't know where the fuck they're trying to take all of this.I think that Saitama having this crisis about failing as a hero is actually really interesting but it feels like they decided to make Garou's character and the overall plot actively worse to achieve it. It's sorta funny because the events of the last webcomic chapter could've been used to achieve the same development for Saitama if the manga actually got that far.
>>239341551I don't think it will be dropped en-masse unfortunately, but it definitely has been in decline in terms of popularity and quality.The latter matters more, popularity of a manga is never a good metric of how good something actually is.
>>239341650Huh? The rate of decline very much matters, it shows that people aren't sticking around after the hype. OPM got to the point of selling less than before the anine was announced (which can't be blamed on normalfags dropping or the anime hype dying) very quickly.
>>239341276Seriously. "Villain kills genos to piss off Saitama and make him go all out" is beginner level fanfiction and something I'd expect to happen at the end of the series by actual God characters if even done at all, not shoved into the MA arc's Garou fight. If it wasn't for the fact that there's still a million loose plot threads It really feels like they intend to end the series here.
Who cares about this chapter, where's best girl?
>>239341304I'm still ridiculously upset that we lost this page, and then they tried to awkwardly redo the dialogue in a small panel which entirely ruined the effect
>>239341773gone like all monster deservesthank you amai mask
>>239341721>which can't be blamed on normalfags dropping or the anime hype dying)Why not? It certainly can. You can certainly blame it on that while current sales enter top 10 territory despite not having an ongoing anime.
>>239341422I fucking hate how many parallels I can draw between OPM and Kengan going downhill, why does everything good have to get fucking ruined
>>239341773I think you posted the wrong pic.Does she even exist anymore? Has she appeared in any chapters that didn't get retconned?
>>239339993>>239341358>This mad at smurf btfo'ing the manga they scream samefag and pisscord.Truly sad, mangatards
>>239341946It can't be blamed solely on that because if it's dipping below the point it was prior to any anime or normies reading it, then obviously it is losing original readers who there before the hype amde it mainstream.
>>239329103As an outisider, I don't understand why this makes people mad
>>239320644Please end this trash series Muratashit. Let it end this arc
>>239342082literally whoI'm serious, which chapter did she appear
>>239342082Orochi eating her didn't get redrawn, she's ded
>>239341664Well maybe not "en masse" per se, but the drop will be pretty fucking big.Even right now during the climactic battle of earth shattering proportions people barely give a shit. Garou turned into Space cosmic garou, Genos is fucking dead and Saitama is actually serious serious, yet no one cares.>inb4 "uhmmmmmm actually it got trending on twitterr!!!!"Anything can get trending on twitter based on the concept and how well it's already known, that doesn't fucking mean anything. Of course when you say "Saitama is actually serious now holy shit!!11!!1" that will generate hype, the problem is it's short term.Once we're off this hill and the story has to go back to lower stakes, this new normalfag zoomer audience the manga has garnered will move on since they're not stimulated like a retard in every page anymore.
This manga has doomed this series. Only the live action movie can save it now.
>>239342230No, you might think it can't get worse than this. But, it always can go worse. Always.
>>239342230lmao actually kind of true too.
>>239341974Happens to almost every shonen manga if they go on long enough
>>239320644Remember when idiots claimed last chapter saved the series and S-class beat down was going to happen. Flash foward to this chapter no S-class beat down. And now Blast ex machina loses all hype and mystery by showing up now and then getting overwhelmedLmao why do people pretend Murata even cares about the script and writing
>>239337657It's called Ramia-Yana
>>239332893>that's why his hair fell outSTOP THAT, DO NOT IMPLY THIS BULLSHIT
>>239342286Ezra Miller Flashy FlashChris Pratt GarouAmber Heard Do-SSeth Rogen Orochi
Why are people so afraid of edge nowadays?
>>239340313I recognize the smurf backgrounds
>>239341315which is how we know it will happen
>>239342221Making garou and blast into OC donut steels is one of the worst parts of this arc, too.
>>239342169Fuck, I just assumed she got redraw revived like the elephant monster and those others did>>239342149She appeared in a single panel before dying
>>239320866Okay I've been accepting the changes from the webmanga but this one I'm starting to have problems. I much prefer the mystery of Blast in the webmanga
>>239342571Thanks to Snyder's horror movies.
>>239342698He's an epic marvel hero with ebin portal powers. And he's largely irrelevant because he's already BTFO'd. There is no mystery.
>>239342898and that's why I prefer how the webmanga handles him and kept him in the dark
>>239339694I hate his zoomer haircut. He's in his 50s. Is he having a mid life crisis?
>>239330077Saitama not instantly destroying Garou before he does his faggoty mode shit makes Saitama a jobber
>>239332893>>239342479Quick someone murder Murata before it's too late
>>239340389Are you for real? The bad writing would be him not getting angry and playing oblivious while people around him are bleeding through every orifice to death and Genos just got killed.Fitting some gags in there would be in the worst possible taste from the author while also making Saitama look like an inhuman retard, I for one welcome him noticing the gravity of the situation instead of acting like a kid randomly bathing in lava
>>239343009>instead of acting like a kid randomly bathing in lavaI still can't believe that there are retards here that actually defended turning the original Saitama vs Orochi fight into that
>>239320912How is he okay with caring more about worlds he has no relation to, that he allows Earth to get to the state it's in?
>>239320912But he didn't keep up with Saitama. He didn't even fight him. Retard.
All the mouthbreathers saying that OPM isn't edgy have been awful quiet since this chapter dropped
>>239336969Yes it's an unironic shounen and shame on you all for ever thinking it was anything else
>>239321621Maybe but, only if Murata remembers that Blast commands an army of robots.
>>239320866Love how all the spics are trying to defend this jobber's godawful portrayal. He's weak as fuck and Garou literally said he wasn't even worth his attention. Powerlevelspics will seethe at this, but Blast is quite literally a jobber.
>>239342978>secret to saitama's poweroh fuck off
>>239340976Ok I actually see what you mean now and agree with it. Shame because I really liked that panel of Saitama with black rain falling on him.
>>239343080>implying they aren't all going to be totally fine through some fuckery or otherYou can't be this naive
>>239341731Well it IS God, and this arc morphed into what seems to be the final one. People complain but for what it is, it fits. Final battle against God with blast and Saitama going all out. This is the moment to get serious.
>>239343126Dattebayoooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>239343043Ironically that first fight was already paving the way for Serious Saitama, it should have been kept. He went full cruelty on Orochi's ass annoyed that no one would ever match him and quickly killed him.
>>239343200About time we treat it like a Marvel movie. Just feast your eyes with cool visuals. Why even bother with the plot anymore ?
Came back to this manga after a while and things have really gone off the rails but there's a lot of setup for new things which could at least be interesting. Feels like there's still a chance things follow at least somewhat in the footsteps of the webcomic unless everything really just ends here, somehow
>>239343200huh, why would they make this arc the final one?
>>239340976Saitama is as powerful as the plot needs him to be. Apparently the plot now needs him to be too slow to instantly annihilate Garou before he can react so they can have epic hype battle in an alternate dimension, prease understand
>>239343306We’re totally off the webcomic now what are you thinking
>>239342978>someone murder Murata beforeLike a Kyoani fire thing?
>-58k in 2 weeks compared to volume 25Murata killed the manga
>>239329103ONE still decides the story dummy
Garou next chap:
>>239333495he decided to bulk up
The idiots complaining about Blast being too weak are just as dumb as the shonenspics they think they're superior to.The problem isn't his powerlevel, it's that he's an utterly uninteresting character no matter how you look at him. A generic superhero with generic heroic personality, and nothing more. He doesn't even have any parallel with Saitama, which is what made him intriguing in the first place.
>>239341125>come from smurf's discord to shit on opm,Bro, the OPM reddit is the one with the huge Discord.
What do the Japanese fans think about this chapter?
>>239343363I don't really see why they couldn't still go in the direction with the new generation of heroes after this
>>239342939>zoomerPlease get a haircut you fat neckbeard
>>239343590Monster Arc got extended to be 5-6 years. How many fucking years do you think Neo Heroes would take? And don't forget that there's still the Saitama vs Tatsumaki mini arc and the Ninja Association arc in between those too
>>239343550They aren't coming to 4chan to shitpost like that fag's discord, though.
>>239343549A potential version of Saitama who gave a shit could have been interesting, on paper. Shame he's just some random S-class guy or whatever.
>>239343649>Ninja arc2-3 years of chapters>Psychic sisters arc4-6 years of chapters>Neo Heroes Arc7-??? years of chapters
>>239343549This is correct. The fucker is powerful enough. He's battling some guy embodying the literal universe that pretty much predicts the future.But that doesn't matter ONE FUCKING BIT because Blast' charm was being potentially another Saitama. Now he's just the #1 hero... and that's it. No more interesting than Drive Knight, Genos, Atomic Samurai or Tanktop Master. He's just another powerlevel in the top 10.If anything I think every other single S class hero is better because they got a unique fun personality or some mystery to them. Blast is just superman.
Smurfledditor is mentally ill.
>>239343549It's funny how some people thought his design was supposed to be some self aware knock on overdesigned super hero costumes to make him look like some out of touch boomer. In reality Murata probably legitimately thought it made him look cool
>>239343730>Drive Knight, Genos, Atomic Samurai or Tanktop Master.All of those have quirks and personality traits that make them more entertaining that Blast. He's like a flat line.
>>239343741ONE surely intended it that way, he was a somewhat comedic character in the webcomic.Then Murata played himself, he's the joke now and would probably dress like Blast if he could be a superhero.
This chapter was unironically better than most of the manga’s plot points. Now the upcoming part is more unpredictable, and we get to see saitama battle with his own philosophy as a hero
>>239343842This, it's good fanfiction come true. Stuff we'd like to see but believed the authors would never deliver.
>>239343649I mean yeah they very well could go entirely in a different direction with whatever they're doing with Drive Knight, Bafoi, Atomic Samurai etc. Just thinking there's a still lot of the original material to work with, not considering the Berserk-tier wait it'll take to see to fruition
>>239343590You just caught up so you missed what Murata has redrawn over. He spoiled the Blastvengers a couple chapters ago which includes el hermano de boros. If this isn’t the end the next thing will surely be about them
>>239343955Damn, Blastvengers. I forgot about those. I thought of joking about One Punch Man in space or One Punch Man Galaxy, but those actually could happen.
>>239343549Jesus fucking christ man. Absolutely nothing in the manga lived up to his first appearance in the webcomic.My only hope at this point is that ONE actually continues the webcomic and we eventually see that version of Blast.
>>239343879>edgy bullshit>blast showing up because>absurd powercreep>villain kills protag's best friend causing him to go berserk>probably going to have an actual, unironic shonen fight in the next chapterit really is fanfiction
>>239343927Oh, there's definitely tons of original material to work with. I just don't think anyone on board has it in them to cover it all
>>239338427what's with that forced plot? I thought he turned into some fighter jet
>>239344182That one was Psychorochi. Though it is understandable mistake given the mess the manga has made.
>>239333709Trust the plan, Lolonggods.
>>239343549Yeah because Saitama rehash hero hobbyist is so much more interesting than a mysterious dimension hopper whose circumstances haven't even been fully revealed before he's been brushed off as generic. Doomposters aren't even trying anymore. Also, rather than assuming that the hobbyist part was scrapped, it's more reasonable to assume that protecting the world like this is the path that Blast decided to take.
>>239336765Holy shit that's so bad it might actually happen.
>>239344617>>239336765Wouldn't that heavily contradict the plot on the webcomic? I haven't read that but afaik all of this actually happened in the webcomic.
>>239320866He was ok. He was far more concerned with collateral damage than rest of heroes and far stronger than rest of s class that couldnt keep up with garou like 3 powerups ago. Didnt end up being retro saitama like it seems to be in webcomic but its not even in top 10 worst changes from webcomic.
>>239343549>>239344395oh fuck off, him being so similar to Saitama with a bigger hint of cynicism is what makes him intriguing.
>>239320644Watch it be just some kind of illusion
>>239344098>Final arc of ONE punch man>Everyone's fighting god or some shit>Everyone loses>Saitama finally appears>Just when you think Saitama is about to fight god, some random man in a civilian getup one punches god>Everyone dumbfounded>ask who he is>introduces himself with a generic name or something like Tanaka>Tatsumaki appears>"Oh hey nice seeing you again Tatsumaki, how's your sister?.">"B-Blast! you came!">"Sorry I don't use that name anymore, I picked up new hobbies.">The point of the story is get a new hobby you fucking faggot.
>>239344395>someone who acts as a direct parallel to the protagonist is more interesting than the leader of the AvengersYes?
>>239344395>Yeah because Saitama rehash hero hobbyist is so much more interesting than a mysterious dimension hopper whose circumstances haven't even been fully revealed before he's been brushed off as generic.Yes.
>>239344820None of this happened in the WC lol.
>>239344820Blast didn’t even appear in the webcomic once until after this whole arc
>>239345050>>239345075I saw somebody post a picture of Garou being posessed by the "God" character in the webcomic though. Did that happen before the sit down in the hut in the wecomic?
>>239344820It is way too late to go back to webcomic plot at this point.
>>239344992A parallel is interesting because you can contrast the different approaches/outcomes of characters who are similar in some way. If Blast is revealed to have previously been doing it as a hobby like Saitama but decided on his current path to become a true hero, it would be a great tie in to Saitama's current situation, where Genos died because he was late, and he's always late because he's not taking things seriously as a proper hero.Putting all that aside, doomposters have already brushed Blast off before his character has even been properly been introduced, which is pretty laughable. Acting like they know his entire personality and motivations from a single fight scene.
>>239345134That’s a fake edit, and the sit down didn’t happenIn fact, you’re trolling me
>>239344820The Martial Arts Tournament never happenedThe Monster Association was like literally 12 monsters.Ugly Fuhrer's new form, the swordsman council and the new centipede didn't appear at allMost of the side heroes introduced for the raid didn't exist, only the S Class went to fight the association if I remember rightOrochi literally does not exist in the webcomic.Blast only appeared in Tatsumaki's flashback and hasn't appeared in any way since."God" only gave Homeless Emperor his powers and then took them back, he's had no other involvement with the plot at all and didn't give Garou powers or anything like thatGarou never actually attempted to kill any humanAnd those are just the changes I remember off of the top of my head
>>239345276S Class plus Sweet Mask, but he can be counted as S Class.
>>239345332I actually forgot that Sweet Mask isn't S Class, my bad
>>239345134lol no. there was no hut in the webcomic. Garou wasn't shown to be possessed by God. Here you should probably just see it for yourself.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcdZfa4RClEThis doesn't have the S-class battle (which wasn't in the manga) which was a far better build-up than the centipede (which wasn't in the WC) though.
>>239345332>>239345365Oh, trio students of Atomic Swordsman too. But they are almost S-Rank.
>>239341946>while current sales enter top 10 territoryUm, sweaty.. Have you checked the latest top 10 already?>>239340265
>>239320644murata make blast so weak and no idea how to handle garou , and also fail to save genos .he supposed to be the last line of defend of the humanity against any kind of god level threat .
>>239345134https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H2Lv58DkUYThis is the Garou fight aftermath
>WAAAA IT'S TOO EDGY NOT LIKE THE WEBCOM-hypocrites all of you.
>>239320644I preffered this story before redraw, it was more in the spirit of the series. Now it look like Murata get pissed and went for edgy.
unironic shounenshit
>>239336765holy fuck
>>239342698One probably revealed him so early because he realized that his vision of Blast wouldn't live up to all hype.Better have no mystery at all, than shitty one
>>239339616smurt tried to warn us. We didn't listen...We didn't listen!!!
>>239336765I honestly hope this is how it will end.
>>239344098I agree! I fucking hated how Zombie man fight with vampire was done in manga! Webcomic is thousands times better!
Alright. It's time to call it.Smurf not a shit. Murata a shit.
>>239321032>WEBCOMIC = IRRELEVANTWebcomic is just dead.One got bullied into shitting out few chapters over last 5 years, but its been dead for a long time now and its unlikely to resume.
>>239320866no, he was supposed to be the combination of all the S-rank flaws but with saitama level of absurd powers.5/10 total disappointment
>>239345378It's very unfinished, but this animation pretty much sums up how the webcomic fight went downhttps://youtu.be/Y_lAYWbNAi0?t=52

>>239346082pretty much, hes not retarded enoughall S rank heroes are shit for one reason or another even if they have some gimmicky powersBlast breaks this trend and dosnt fit in
Kill yourself Smurf
>>239346060Wasn't worth the original 15 page joke chapter becoming 500+ pages of serious fights. Probably the single worst example of bloat in the entire manga.
>>239345760kek
>>239320644>https://cubari.moe/read/imgur/IS756yu/1/1/Thats it, OPM officially fucked over due to power creep, its Dragon Ball leves bad at this point.Also the worst part is that we all know this will retconned or turned out to be a dream, so it wastes time.
>>239344987Wow that's garbage
>>239320644can anyone link 164-165 cause i can't find that anywhere.
Remember when blast was a superhero as a hobby?
>>239347239Never happened in the manga :^)
>>239343549>A generic superhero with generic heroic personality,and it stands out because every other hero in the series is some kind of subversion
>Murata: Ahhh possible, say if the god who gave Homeless Emperor power, also gave Saitama power, then Saitama defeated that god. Then Saitama loses his power, loses his memories, his hair grows back, and lives a normal life after that, but he still wants to be a hero so he starts by doing some hero activities in the community. Then one customer comes up to him, that'll be Genos, who also turned back to a normal human. "Please take me as your disciple!" "Uh no, I'm super weak! I have nothing to teach you." Then Genos drops a stack of cash and Saitama goes, "Did you bring your toothbrush?" Hahaha Then One Punch Man ends.You just know it's coming
>>239341654I think Garou acts like this due to confusion, which was caused by his dream being achieved way too fast and he was unable to really take step back and think about.Like, before going cosmic, contradictions of his dream(being absolute evil), what he truly wants(hero) and what monsters truly are(not poor bullied ones, but well, monsters) we becoming more and more apparent. Due to constantly fighting, he is unable to really solve them(one of main points of Centipede scene)So he tries to ignore them(which shown during beginning of fight with saitama), which fails, partly due to some random baldy, who not only keeps pointing them out, but also demolishes him without tryingGarou seethes and goes like "No, I am a monster! I will show you!"Saitama then like "nope" and punches him in stratosphereAnd then God is like "It's free real estate" and tries to posses Garou. Tries is key work. Because of that, Garou goes cosmic, and everything suddenly starts going well.Baldy is defeated easily, everyone is fucking terrified of him and even top 1 hero Blast appears, confirming him to be a God level threat.Garou's dream finally, at long last comes true. But with that is contradiction: People will die.And he is lost at what to do. Before Genos attack, he literally does nothing. He tries to justify internally deaths of heroes("this is for a best for that kid"), but that's weak and not confincing.So he starts LARPing and focuses on what's not confusing - fighting. But goes overboard and kills Genos.I think Garou is still himself and in character, but this is subtle.
>>239347581pretty entertaining take, but we'll have to wait and see. Its better than chibi garou and metal bat for sure
>>239320644Genos...no...;A;

>>239347756You will never get a another aot disaster eith this manga no matter how much you spam and samefag. Keep coping
>>239343115>He's weak as fuckHe's capable of facing a God level threat all while trying to keep civilians safe at the same time. That's weak to you?
>>239346082>he was supposed to be [headcanon]Fuck off schizo.
Shit writing: Garou actually managed to "copy" Saitama and they are actually evenly trading blows.Good writing: Garou fails and gets mercilessly annihilated instantly, Saitama points out how much of a joke Garou is, Garou's character breaks and then we move to the actual deal which is God.
>>239329103Story by ONE, faggot.
>>239348099we're getting even shittier writing: Blast is going to stop them and send them into another dimension and blast will probably waste more panels babbling on about god and waking up garou
>>239347239Yeah, and that's one of few things I'm glad Murata dropped, because it was shit. What's so interesting about him potentially being a beta version of Saitama? Not that Murata's rendition of the character is amazing or anything, but what we know about him from the webcomic is just as boring, if not more
>>239341276>The fact he didn't here is character assassination.Fuck off snktard you don't know what that word means, like usual. Saitama didn't get their because he got blasted away.
>>239343284>Why even bother with the plot anymore ?What was the plot.
>>239348099The second is still shit writing due to the fact that Garou was able to "kill" Genos and emotionally damage Saitama like this in the first place. At this point, probably the best writing is to just act like this was all an illusion.
>>239348555Nah, Saitama is cucked.
>>239333495why has murata's art gotten so shit now? where's the cross hatching? the texture? the dynamic poses?
>>239341315Why?
are we really treating this god as the final boss or something capeshit has tons of universe busting beings, this one is clearly just the first one
>>239348212>another dimensionMight happen, but it kinda won't matter because the only way to fix everyone dying from radiation as well as Genos, the most popular hero among the readers, being killed, is time travel. My take: Saitama will wreck Garou's shit but the fight outcome will turn the Earth into a lifeless wasteland or ruin the magic barrier blocking God, Cthulhu and Anita Sarkeesian from entering their world. Blast will then talk his way into Garou and convince him that he utterly failed in his mission (there's no humankind to unite against him) and use his time jobbing powers to turn time back to the point where Garou started his first fight against Saitama. Only Blast and garou will remember any of it, and it will lead to the infamous cabin scene where they talk about their goals.
>>239349090that would truly be garbage that it just might happen. I really just hope that the "genos lives" outcome is simply that a system design preserved him
>>239349090SERIOUS SERIES: SERIOUS COPEonly Blast will remember any of it and we will have the webcomic version
>>239349248I'm not saying it would be good. It would be shit. Resorting to time travel to fix shit is always shit.
>>239320644anyone has link to previous chapters?
>>239345760I hate is so much. Saitama didn't need this kind of cliche motivation
>>239349542https://cubari.moe/read/gist/OPM/
>>239320866He managed to fight with cosmic garou a bit. He's very strong, and Garou is currently god level so the fact that he knocked him around a bit means that he'd have taken the other monsters down very quickly
>>239349639thanks
The edgy teenager inside me who still blasts Animal I Have Become every now and then doesn't mind seeing someone ask Saitama for trouble and then promptly have it *handed* to him
>>239345760You really are an idiot
>>239348021Yes.
>>239349090that's a very easy way to get pink eye
>>239329103i bet murata bitched about this
>>239334720basad->indog>>/vt/
>>239350560Saitama is immune to that and Tatsumaki is as pure and clean as an angel.
>>239350481You only have yourself to blame for your retardedly high expectations.
>>239348718He's forced to draw 8-10 pages a day, he probably recreates the panels with 3DCG and then draws over/traces them to some extent, which is why all the buff guys look the same now and the art is so bland.
Now that the cringe Genos ship is (literally) dead, I support King x Tatsumaki & Fubuki. He deserves it.
What is this garbage?
>>239351221A handsome man.
>>239344820None of this garbage happened in the WC
>>239351218Better than the forced Genos shit Murata was going for.
>>239351215>He's forced to draw 8-10 pages a day,The chapters release every 2/3 weeks and they're usually 30-35 pages long. At worst it's 3 pages a day, 4 considering the days off, but usually less.
>>239329103This is still going to happen
>>239339616Completely correct
>Metal Bat isn't shown with other heroesI hope you're ready for some more fujopandering with Garou lol
The seethe on here seems so artificial
Only a bigger Centipede to stop Garou now
Here's your S-Class Hero #1 lmao
Smurf needs to go back to his roots.
Smurf, your garbage manga will never take off.
>>239351362follow him on Twitter, he draws 6-10 pages on daily basis + animation and random stuff.Might be redraws and modified stuff for the volumes thrown in the mix as well.
>>239351590Nobody is forcing him to do random animation or massive amounts of redraws. Seems like he's a retard with a bad work ethic.
>>239351537Drawing Tatsumaki with an oversized futa cock?
>>239333751>tatsupedo is a contrarianNot surprising
>>239347565>that'll be Genos, who also turned back to a normal human. "Please take me as your disciple!" "Uh no, I'm super weak! I have nothing to teach you." Then Genos drops a stack of cash and Saitama goes, "Did you bring your toothbrush?" Hahaha Then One Punch Man ends.Jesus, does Murata read fujo shit? There's no real reason for Genos to even offer to be his disciple now, let alone talk even to him. and for Saitama to accept something like that from a complete stranger, even if he did have money just feels contrived as hell.
>>239351803Yes.That includes that.
>>239347581>So he starts LARPingYeah, what he was doing at that point doesn't feel like larping.
>>239341654nah bro Garou has the knowledge of the universe now he knows he didn't really kill Genos haha
>>239347581>e tries to justify internally deaths of heroes("this is for a best for that kid"), but that's weak and not confincing.He wasn't justifying it. He was clearly enjoying to some extent.
>>239351240He was referring to the dialogue.
>>239351221Bang being a stupid faggot as usual.
>>239352443>does Murata read fujo shit?>Murata: There's a lot of female pose reference books, but not many male reference books. Not enough good muscle reference.>Q: You can only refer to R18 books then?>A: Well I know there are references for girls to draw BL books, where the men do different poses. So I would buy them and put in the workplace. When my staff see it, they would have this smile on their face. "It's not what you think".>Murata: I can use myself as reference, but I don't have enough muscle.>Q: Murata tries to explain even though no one asked.Thats why the panel with Saitama touching Genos's heart looked so fucking gay
>>239339616She's got a point, desu
>>239348718He’s becoming almost as bad as Toyotarou.
What keeps me reading
>>239352799He really shouldn't use BL of all things for anything more than a drawing reference. Those men don't reflect on how men actually act. They're basically women's sexual fantasies, and he thinks it probably works as a kino friendship type of writing, when it's anything but that.
>>239320644>pun/gag manga>gets “serious”>walking plot device always arrives late or barely shows up because could easily resolve any problemsWhat sort of human being can even feel any emotion reading this shit lmao
>>239343421jesus, thats actually a huge decline
>>239351761I doubt most artists on earth could do 40 pages in two weeks consistently for years
>>239344157>>edgy bullshitWhat was edgy about this chapter? Are you that quickly turned off by a little bit drama and brutality?
>>239353881>almost every character dies, including the children >not edgy
my ship...
>>239351582Smurfbros...
>>239353881>everybody dying of cancer>raining ash so everybody looks like they're covered in bloodouch
Garou kills children now? Wow, Murata really must be a chuuni manchild that never grew out of his edgelord phase. Just be glad this retard never came close to touching Mob Psycho with his greasy fingers.
wow they really went the route of>introduce god>actually there are multiple gods>actually they're not gods, just really strong aliens
>>239354574>There are multiple godsWhat?
Janny is seething lmao, deleting smurf post
>>239354574This incessant shitposting is really making me lose my mind
>>239354574Lmao so shitposters can't even read a simple manga like opm
>>239349248Easy enough to write that he put his consciousness inside his core. Saitama has been holding onto it since Garou threw it at him and it has been notably visible.
>>239354574i'm pretty sure that "god" is not like an "all creator"he's just a god, many cultures features multiple gods, that's the first one we met in this storyif he was some sort of omnipotent all mighty being he wouldn't be getting held off by blast and his boys
>>239355286**he's obviously still strong enough to effortlessly wipe the earth if he manages to get it, he's A GOD after all
>>239320644these recent chapters got me thinking if "god" level threat isn't just a name picked to indicate the seriousness, but a reference by the HA that any threat that serious must be influenced by that "god" thing
>>239349090Still of one the best OPM fanarts of all time
>>239355527Saitama ruins it.
>>239354041is overrated cancer that ruined the fanbase.
>>239355678not really
>>239342756Piss shit and cry MCUck
>>239354041Is in a good spotThere's no way Genos is actually gone for good and we've just seen Saitama care about someone else for a change
>>239351218King is a good lad and is trying his best to protect them, respect.
>>239320644g-guys, he still has to show his full power
>>239352654Outside? MaybeInside? "This is for his sake" "I am sorry Terou" "Had I finally become it?" "I have to finish this old man" (After which he ignored him btw). Sure doesnt feel like he is enjoying it
Saitama is so lucky bros
>>239356439Manga is ending anon.This is the final arc.Genos died, Saitama will fight god, and then we're wrapping up shop.
This is actual first reverse pleb filter. If you like this you are literally braindead faggot who missed the whole fucking point of OPM.Unironic shounen shit SHOULD NOT BE IN OPM.
>>239320644https://twitter.com/NEBU_KURO/status/1540068759662391296muratabros?
>>239357191we still need the mysterious machine org to be resolved
>>239355796Yes, it is. Genos barely has a personality besides "serious guy" and being a worshipper. As a pairing dynamic, it's the most basic shit imaginable. Feels like most fujos just self insert onto Genos due to what little personality there is. >>239356169>Is in a good spotHow? It'll never be more than her fantasy.
F-Fubuki-sama, I kneel...
>too strong for even Murata to ruinSaitamasisters...
Imagine unironically thinking that Saitama is going to struggle against Garou. Obviously he's going to pound him into fucking paste, and make Garou feel the fear he intended to instill into humanity, an realize that nothing good could possibly come of it.
>>239336765This is definetely something ONE would do
This will all end with Garou telling Saitama how he imagined how it would end.Only to saitama tell him that he is a capeshitter.But Blast's parts before that will be real and it turns out GOD is Satan and Saitama is Jesus aka The Creator Gods will on Earth after he was the first man to break the limiter and be of pure heart
>>239339616>mainstream this>mainstream thatpathetic
>>239336765WAS THIS LOLONG'S PREMONITION THIS WHOLE TIME?
>>239320866>last mystery box in the OP universe>he's a worthless jobberNice writing. Dropped.
>>239336765Holy shit that's so good I hope it actually happens. The only way to save this series. Kino storytelling.
You fuckers lied to me.You said that blast being a hero as a hobby wasn't in the manga but that's straight up fucking bullshit.
Is there anything stopping the manga from ending this arc? If you assume God was the fortune-teller's prophecy, that leaves the only loose end to be Geno's backstory. That doesn't matter if he's dead.
saitama is literally going to break garous head like in the wc next chapterhes going to lose that omnipotent giga copycat mask and have it break into piecesscreencap this
>>239340771>Can we finally admit that this shit isn't better than any other edgy teenagers OPM fanfichuh? this is so much better than the webcomic it's not even funny
>Saitama and Garou serious punches each other>The planet explodes and everyone diesA satisfying ending to a shitty manga
I'm getting Game of Thrones flashbacks... weird how nobody mentions it.Hopefully once this fanfic is over after this arc ONE gives us the real ending.
>>239359238>6 years for one arcnice pacing bro
>>239359349Garou reminds me of batkek, atleast in their aesthetic
>Saitama now is being a serious characterand yet ironically i havent laughed out loud at a OPM chapter before this one in a long timewhat the fuck did i just read
>>239357244absolutely based
>>239340589This
>>239359190pics or it didn't happen
Am really diggin Garou(Modo Blodborn)
>>239357244Never forget when he told a do-s cosplayer he'd be her slave
>>239360523Real? holy kek, murata is such a coomer. Literally traded his writing skills for this shit
>>239359190>>239360361
>complain how terrible the manga is every chapter>continue readingI think you guys are just tsunderes
>>239360705Ummmm doomkeks????
wait is the manga actually ending here
>it exists a timeline where the S1 team did S2 as well instead of wasting time on a less than mediocre Boogiepop adaption >in the same timeline the manga didn't completely deviate from the source material and ONE didn't abandon the webcomic
>>239343549>>239343686>>239343730>>239344098Speedreaderbros... >>239360705
As always Smurf removing her shitty criticism of the manga on twitter after her 10th reread of the chapter and realizing it is pure kino is golden
>>239348222>a beta version of Saitama?all signs points to him being an asshole selfish version of Saitama, that alone sounds more interesting than what we're getting here where he just seems like an average hero, personality wise.
I've got a prediction. The fight will end with some time fuckery meaning all the death and destruction never happened and only Saitama and Garou (and maybe Blast) remember it. Garou gives up on his dream and Saitama learns a lesson about taking shit seriously without the actual consequences of it all
>>239357191>Manga is endingsource?
>>239329103Is that Garou? he turned into Super Turbo Satan? The fuck?
>>239320644I really start to hate this manga and Murata. It's not just not as impactfull and as un as the webcomic now, it's just straight up SHIT.
>>239360849>after her 10th reread of the chapter and realizing it is pure kino is goldenMore like doesn't want anyone notable to see his criticisms.
Kneel before Smurf and Risu.
>>239360705>It's da (((black cube)))! >Da Mahvel, Transformers, yada yada (((black cuuube)))!Muraaaataaaa!! Reeeeee
>>239343549I'm one of the people who think he's too weak.But that's related to the fact he's just some fucking random boring goon who is just "Yeah he's the strong #1 hero guy" but there's nothing else to him. There's literally nothing else to him, and it completely demolished the mystery
Surprised they didn't pull the trigger if they were catering to what reddit wants OPM to be and shoehorn Genos getting a 1v1 with that cyborg too that god summon'd or something
Genos is not dead you stupid fucks.
>>239320866his teleport powers were really cool, and him looping garou in a 90 degree teleport punch corner was awesome but my disappointment after all of that that did nothing was immeasurableblast has been reduced to a jobber now, unfortunately there's no saving himif only blast had a proper W after his introduction, i could care about him but as of now he seems like a bitch
So next chapter when?
>>239362187Obviously. Even if this was the final arc, Murata would align the ending so it transitions to the web comic.
ENTER
>>239320644>Look at the title>"No way a new webcomic chapter released?">Check GalaxyHeavyBlow>No chapter>It's just a mangafag being retardedPain
>>239351582>Smurf's shitty manga is in a Murata tier flashback arcDumb coomers do think alike
>>239350366Fair
this chapter is beyond pathetic
>hero is in bad shape, uses magic to detect someone is controlling his former student garou>he yells "give back garou" moments before his death> a guy appears out of thin air>garou says "who the hell are you" I dont know about you guys but I find this funny.
>>239351537>>239351803Yes to both of these please and thank you!
>>239362780Hi Smurf
>>239362954who?
>>239363022A blue gremling living inside his head
>>239352799Lets be honest. The BL stuff was the only redeeming quality of this shitty edgefest of a chapter.
>>239355796>Used in most discussions and fanfics despite being a B tier pairing.>People hardly give other things or characters much attention because fujo's are overrun flies in the fandom shoving this ship down everyone's throat's whether they like it or not.But of course you'd think not, because you're one of the women who eat it up all day. Go back to twitter or tumblr and stay there.
>>239346082>>239359069>b-b-b-b-but it was supossed to be LE GOODDumb headcanon zoomers
>>239354041Is literally revived by this gay chapter. Genos is 100% alive or will come back is some way and is basically been used as a "kill hero's lover to make hero serious" shounen cliche which is cringe but also a little funny.
>>239362856Another subtle foreshadowing to the theory that Blast is Garou from the future
Remember the cubes? I remember the cubes
>>239333495I see that Murata is evolving backwards in both story and art, cool
>>239363407that's called devolving retard
>>239320644Based. Fuck Muata haters AHAHAHAHA

>>239363462I bet you think you're smart, you braindead monkey. Go back.
>>239363564He cared for shits and giggles before not "seriously"
Smurf is both a pro artist and writer, i'd trust his opinion more than a bunch of fanboy neets.
>>239357191may god hear you man, hope murata gets a heart attack or something
>>239363185>The BL stuff was the only redeeming quality of this shitty edgefest of a chapter.Yeah, it was unironically pretty funny.
>>239363836>I like to eat shit, every day I wake up eat a nice scoop of shit and then proceed to advertise shit eating for randoms on my favourite forum 4channelCool to know, now fuck off
>>239363648>He cared for shits and gigglesNo? He clearly did show genuine care for others on some occasions, and not just for shits and giggles.
>>239364135>I like to eat shit, every day I wake up eat a nice scoop of shit and then proceed to advertise shit eating for randoms on my favourite forum 4channelWhy are you describing yourself, mangatard?
