Dumping raw
>>287275472
>>287275478
Woah cool it with the chapters one. Is he planning on wrapping up the arc this month
>a third webcomic chapter has hit /opm/
>>287275497
>>287275526>>287275518Unlikely. If you look at his past release schedules I'd guess we at most have one more chapter after this before he goes on a few month hiatus to work on more again
>>287275555
>>287275575The hero name victims association protects their own
>>287275596
>>287275616Hey genos, you okay buddy?
>>287275638
>>287275662Cool evil lair
>>287275686
>>287275704The doctor appears!
>>287275736...with a cool new body, at that
>>287275760
>>287275760Neat design, shame he's bald.
>>287275782
>>287275792So is Bofoi.
>>287275807
ANOTHER ONE?!?!?! OH MY GOD *cums*
>>287275832
This is probably the last chapter in the batch. The next one should conclude the arc unless there's some big twist.
>>287275851
>>287275851Is that him? The mad cyborg?
>>287275866
>>287275895>>287275894Part of me thinks this is some weird "well this robot will be more human if I make it's head a heart" type thing
>>287275919
>>287275949Rare watchdog-man sighting
>>287275976
>>287275994
>>287275976>watchdog's city looks untouchedGood boy.
>>287276025Caped baldy is on the move!That's all for this chapter. It's probably the end of the batch but I hope not.
>>287275832I'll be taking that.
>>287275596my fucking heroes
>>287275782very obvious Versus reference with this design, not that I’m complaining.
>>287275782A young bofoi and kuseno, what a strange haircut
>>287276256I kinda see what you mean with the vague shape the halo creates, but it feels very different otherwise.
>>287275976I kind of hope at the very end of the series Saitama fights Watchdog-Man for some trivial reason and gets completely clowned on.
So basically.>Saitama is now A class Rank 1.>Genos's whole story is confirmed to be a lie.>This whole arc was just Dr. Kuseno gathering battle data and now he wants to test his latest cyborg prototype on Genos.
>>287275472>>287276048BASED THANKS OP, I'M SO HAPPY WITH ALL THIS WEBCOMIC KINO RECENTLY!
>>287276504Saitama will also get penalties for leaving the HA HQ (not that he gives a fuck). I imagine Saitama's name victim association is unironically going to be the central power of heroes somehow after this arc (though it's really just because of Saitama).
>>287275994What will happen to my boy...
Seems like the webcomic is probably close to the end. I presume Saitama is going to be the #1 S-rank hero at the story (and I wouldn't be surprised if he quits hero work entirely after that).
>>287275555Cool, top panel says he is now ranked A class number 1, which means he can become S class now, but the retards are also saying that if he leaves instead of protecting the HQs he could be severely punished for it.
>>287276827There is still the blast storyline... and God... if Murata didn't make it all lame and gay even for ONE
>>287276827we are missing flash an his new story, also Tatsu dealing with the psychic cult, plus GOD being the final plot
>>287276959god is not even going to come up again in the webcomic and I'll bet my virginity on that
>>287275472Thanks OPCan't believe we got 3 chapters in a row, wouldn't surprise if there are more incoming
>>287277006? why not
>>287275851>>287275866>>287275895>>287275919I think Kuseno's real goal here is to break Genos's limiter/monsterize him. He's intentionally provoking him like fake Fuzzy did at the Neo Heroes HQ. Genos is the endgame of his plans and will probably fight Saitama
>>287277011Its always like this, we get 3-4 chapters and then another 1 year hiatus
>>287277028because it was a one-off joke explanation for homeless emperor, not anything more important than that nor important to the themes of the story. final boss is going to be a thematic one rather than a physical one, so something like saitama coming face to face with heroism itself or having to question his beliefs. maybe fighting genos which is a fight he cant win by punching, something like that
>>287275575>>287275596Based Nakamo-tachi, I don't want to mention that name but that fucker gets everything wrong and I hate him so fucking much
>>287276827We need some kind of boros/garou epic last battle to this arc and we didn't even start it yet, were not anywhere near done with this arc, much less the whole thing>>287277053probably this or cyborged boros (but that one is probably for garou)
>>287276904>>287276959God in the webcomic was literally just a one-off explanation for homeless emperor's powers. Like vaccine man iirc getting empowered by the earth or whatever. There hasn't been more than that. I could see it going either way, but I wouldn't be surprised if he simply doesn't come up again.
Everyone forgot that Zombie Man is a part of this arc lmao
>>287275894No, the mad cyborg is Kuseno himself >>287275760
>>287277060It will be facing Blast and what being a hero means.... The hobby joke will be addressed by ONE
>>287277176>>287277060Moron.
>>287277290shoo fag go make a manga thread
>>287276048ONE is such a good artists, it still amazes me with every chapter.
>>287277236Yes I genuinely forgot about himSorry zombie man, lol
>>287277236I fucking haven't. It's been annoying every step of the way through the arc honestly. The basement was left on a cliffhanger for 2.5 years, then you see him again for one panel, wait some years for the Kabuto reveal and nothing again forever until that page and now again...
>>287277308Its funny how over the years I came to appreciate One shitty drawings much more than Murata souless drawing
>>287276025>if we kill our enemies beyond the sea...>will we finally be free?SAITAMA NO
>>287277388Good art means nothing if you don't have a story to back it up, art alone stays in the "visual impact" realm which gets forgotten after 5 minutes, the way tomake it stick is to put an emotional impact behind itThat's why one is a great mangaka and people like oh great are widely regarded as just alright
>>287275638For someone who found out his entire life was a lie he looks finee.
>>287276959There's also Shibabawa's prophecy, Psykos's future vision, Boros's body (will probably be resolved this arc), Garou finding himself / becoming a hero
>>287276048Will Saitama arrive in time?
>>287277290I'm sure Blast in the webcomic will be based on Murata's favourite shoes as well. Retard.
>>287276504>Saitama is now A class Rank 1.Eh he'll probably get demoted for that stunt he just pulled of leaving them unprotected.
>>287277361I think that's because Zombie Man's plotline is actually pretty important and concerns the nature of limiters/monsterization so it wasn't revealed just yet. We'll have flashbacks of what actually happened to him when the time comes
>>287277236Still waiting for that bomb to be relevant
>>287275782That 70s anime character haircut on young Kuseno
>>287275851>>287275895The Heart
>>287277585>>287277552Is this just a double bluff to lure Saitama away from the headquarters?
>Blast was mentioned in this chapterHe defeated the mad cyborg back when he killed Genos' family.
>>287276827it's hard to say if he would ever actually end it, really. it feels like this is the series of his that he really only does for fun, like you'd expect.
>>287276827This entire arc has felt like a pentultimate one setting up for a big final arc, the most recent chapters have just reinforced that imo. Blast just got brought up again and there's no way the webcomic ends without his appearance, and just a couple chapters ago real Fuzzy (who seems to be a legit oracle like Shibabawa) was mumbling a new prophecy. ONE is laying out plot threads for what's to come next.
>>287275472It's like Christmas come early
>>287275555He's already released three chapters. We're only getting a new one next year
>>287278418The last couple single chapter drops were like 50 - 60 something chapters each, this batch of shorter chapters isn't that much bigger in terms of pages. I think he does around 60-70 pages every few months and whether they come as one chapter or multiple shorter ones just depends on how he wants to pace the narrative.
I need Fubuki ass
2chan has had like +10 threads reaching the 1000 bump limit, the wc sure is popular with them huh
>>287278626I gave up on the manga and just wait for the conclusion of the webcomic nowadays
>>287278626If I was able to send a letter to ONE I would want him to know that over in the west we love his work too, I wonder if he knows
>>287278626The webcomic is the most popular manga currently running over there, I remember chapter 156 alone had 10+ 1000 bump limit threads the day it came out.
There are no tits and ass in this chapter. Why is it so much better than the manga?
>>287278950Your brain can be satisfied with good story for longer than your penis can be satisfied with tits and ass
>>287278626For all 3 chapters or just this one? It barely came out 3 hours ago.
>>287278981I was simply joking. The manga loses a ton of focus because of it. Tatsumaki being hot was fine. But then she gets heavily mishandled by the porn baits and jokes of the later chapters. Especially with the sister arc and the forced panty scene that made it very clear nothing about the original Tatsumaki would be properly translated nor her adaptation would be properly handled in consideration of her own distinctions.
>>287275472I was actually expecting something like this to come out on Tuesday, a very pleasant surprise.
>>287276360I disagree, it'd ruin the premise of the story if there was just some random guy who could provide a real goal for Saitama by being someone he couldn't beat.
I can't wait to see this in Murata's art. ONE's poor art makes even the serious scenes look too surreal and ruins them
>>287277525I'm pretty sure the prophecy along with psychos vision are all tied to GOD plot thing, Boris idk, wasn't the body destroyed when Genos left the base? and Gaoru seems to be a thing that will be shown in the last chapter when he is already a full fledged hero
>>287279533Peanut brain. ONE art makes the story even better
>>287279533You won't, the story is completely different in the manga adaptation.
>>287275472So will this be all the chapters we get for the year?
>287279533
>>287277525Don't forget Zombieman trying to break his limiter and currently being kidnapped, and Blue is absent at the moment. There's also Pig God's secret power.
>>287279533Bait used to be believable.
>>287279585If we don't get another chapter in the next 7 days then yeah, it's over
Translated chapter out:https://cubari.moe/read/gist/cmF3L0tva2lLb2kvS29pUG9uZE1hbmdhL3JlZnMvaGVhZHMvbWFpbi9PbmVQdW5jaE1hbi1XZWJDb21pYy5qc29u/159/1/>>287279585why do people keep saying "for the year", the last few years hes only ever taken a few month breaks. we'll get some in the summer most likely
>>287279635Godspeed
>>287279635To be fair, I don't blame people for having PTSD about the multi-year break after 141.
Dumping
>>287279710>No wonder I thought his haircut looked in humanThose in glass houses...
>>287276025>>287276048Absolutely incredible scene. ONE is an artist that never, ever ceases to amaze with how powerful he manages to make a given situation. Even without knowing a speck of Japanese, the exact navigational coordinates juxtaposed with the simple, pointing finger and then the Serious dash/run are so easily understood.
>>287277483>people like oh great are widely regarded as just alrightOh great is amazingNobody else does such essential "anime" insane stories that also look good
>>287279635quite political, hmdifficult to blame him
>>287279718>he knows saitama is going to go so fast hes going to leave destruction in his wake as he runs so he clears the areaThat, that is cool.
>>287279729Fucking hell, Bofoi, this is why people think you're a villain. They're not exactly missing the mark, either.
>>287279635I dunno what's going on with the translations recently, but the usual leddit translators also did a translation for this chapter and dropped it exactly the same time as the new guy. I don't think they did one for the last couple chapters yet? I'll link it here if anyone cares to read it.>https://cubari.moe/read/imgchest/bp45jp2bvy5/1/2/
>>287279635Harsh lol
>>287279729The chad human rights violator big brother surveillance state vs the onions human rights kid
>>287279729Bofoi is perfect in his funny duo with Child Emperor.
>>287279762>>287279772>>287279782MYFUCKINGHEROES
>>287279820>I don't think they did one for the last couple chapters yet?It's already on leddit, mangadex and cubari
>>287279820Did VibhavM quit? I don't see his name on the opening credits.
>>287279827Love this guy already
>>287279858There it is, the fucking mad cyborg after all these years
>>287279868I've never seen his name again for about 10 chapters now
>>287279858very madaran-esque
>>287275555>few monthsLmao. his release schedule varies from 1 - 4 chapters per year.
>>287279923Gee, what an asshole
>>287279877>bofoi is the ethic scientist
>>287279948I have a bad feeling that this is a death flag for genos
>>287275518Probably one or 2 morr chapters at most before another year break
>>287279923Ouch
Blast is kind of bad at being a hero
>>287279974Feels inevitable he'll self destruct to take out Heart Gear/Kuseno, then appear somehow in the final arc towards the end. Same as Dimple in MP100. This whole arc is sort of like the divine broccoli arc in its fundamentals.
End of dump, finally making use of my pass.
>>287279635>>287279858From what I can see, OPM webcomic chapter 6, introducing Genos, was published in the back half of 2009. It took until now for us to meet the Mad Cyborg.
The mad cyborg has a halo around his head.
>>287280015>>287280027Holy shit I cannot wait for next chapter, this is going to be an amazing scene. Thank you for the dump
>>287280001I feel like this is foreshadowing for Sonic getting hit as collateral by Saitama on the way to Kuseno, because he's a homeless bum who isn't on Bofoi's surveillance system and thus couldn't receive the evacuation notice.
>>287280027Yeah I have one too it's good for dumps
I feel like i need to reread every time we get new chapters.
>>287280024I don’t think Kuseno intends to have Genos destroy himself. He’s going to combine Genos with the Heart.
I forget, what is King up to during all this?
>>287280085>shadow>sonicI see what you did there.
>>287280158doing 1 single pushup
>>287280158doing pushups
>>287280149I don't think he does either, I think he wants to provoke Genos into evolving towards some unknown further end, and Heart Gear is just a means to an end for that. But I think Genos will take it upon himself to self sacrifice regardless.
>>287279939Maybe it's just me but this feels like a red herring, like Kuseno is being the mastermind and evil bad guy, but "purposely" so, like this was meant to be for Genos, all to become something more, but who knows in the end, maybe I'm thinking too much about it.
>>287280203I think he's definitely evil but I don't think this machine god is his end goal as other anons said. Trying to monsterize genos seems more likely
>>287280158If Bofoi has a surveillance camera on everybody's house, then he obviously knows King is just playing videogame and reading manga all day
>>287279858Can't believe we're finally seeing him
>>287280226He might not have it for high ranking members, only civilians. But then again Kuseno had cameras in King's gym so who knows.
>>287279908i forget, has ONE ever mentioned that series?
>>287279772my fuarking heroes
>>287280215In that case, maybe Ryumon's situation is narratively meant to serve as an assurance that if Genos does monsterize, he won't be completely lost? Obviously that was already the case with Amai Mask, but Ryumon proved it wasn't a one-off.
>>287280176>>287280177Based King. These robots are so weak he doesn't even think of skipping his exercise routine.
>>287280215A mix of both could be the answer, he knows Saitama exist and he can't be that stupid for his end goal to be just that
>>287280290The end of the world is no reason to skip leg day.
>>287280015>>287280027Pages you can hear
>>287280258Isn't monsterization technically reversible considering garou? Or did garou never properly become a monster
Sweet Mask and BofoiCan't believe ONE fooled me twice in a row making me think that a high rank was a villain when they were actually heroes who acted like assholes
>>287279762>Then I quit. He's going to become S-class doing that
>>287279939Maybe he just wants to create something at his disposal to deal with whatever the prophecy will be (aka:GOD), but to do so he has to be a scumbag evil villain, a few millions death are nothing in comparison to saving the whole world against a god level threat.
>>287280353It's intentionally vague what really happened with Garou but whatever it was, it wasn't full monsterization. He was basically being powered by his delusion, most of his appearance change was just him being caked in blood and mud and shit from fighting all day (up to a point, when he started turning more monsterish towards the end of the fight is where it becomes unclear). His power solely came from his martial arts.
>>287280353He never did, it was more like a monster suit rather than actual morph
>>287280226Even if he knows he would somehow rationalize it to fit King's image just like everyone else does.
>>287280158fapping to loli
>>287280027If i were an arts teacher i would definitely dedicate a masterclass about composition and conveying tension to the opm webcomic
>>287275478? ? ? ? ?
>>287280570He's a kid, cut him some slack. He doesn't know what adults need to do in this world to survive yet.
>>287280366I've been figuring Genos was being mislead for a long time, but I had thought that Genos himself would be the mad cyborg
>>287280353Can a cyborg become a monster tho? Genos probably doesn't have anything human anymore. Or perhaps Dr. Kuseno's main weapon was turning Genos into the ultimate killing machine all along
>>287276827The easy call is that it ends with his hero name being changed to you know what
>>287279984Bottom right dude still has the bandages from getting his throat pierced by ENW. How many days/weeks since the Garou Arc? I lost track.
>>287279939>Heartgear is suspiciously thickWatch all of this for giving Genos an OP female robot companion
Saitama's hero name is 100% going to be One punch man after this arc, I feel it (and predicted ages ago).
>>287280863>Now I finally became the One Punch Man
>>287279762>>287279772>>287279782Fuck S class, these guys are the real heroes.
>>287279984Will we ever see Watchdog man in action? ONE keeps teasing us.
>>287279858This is insane. I remember starting to follow OPM years ago when Murata was still in the early arcs, I think it was even before Boros. To think that we're finally there, the conclusion of the Mad Cyborg plotline, Saitama on the verge of becoming S-Class and everything... I literally remember the day I was reading the meteor chapter with everyone thinking Saitama was a fraud. How fucking far we've gone.
>>287281079And the manga has actually progressed past the ninja arc and started the neoheroes arc after numerous redraws
>>287276827I feel like ONE does OPM for fun rather than profit, like with MP100, Versus and Bug Ego. Who can really say if it will ever have a planned final arc, might go on as long as ONE has ideas. But I imagine the next arc will deal with monsterization and what defines a human with Amai, Webi and Ryumon, along with catching up on what's happened with the absent heroes. (Atomic, Bang, Flash, King, Tats)>>287275994Sex with Sonic...
>>287280863Th-thank you One Punch man…
>>287281267I think that it better for him to do this monthly when other shonnen shit the plot up so fucking bad it ruined the whole series
Watchdog man is Blast isn't he?
>>287280863It's cheesy but it would be earned cheesiness, so I'm fine with it.
>>287280203I'm almost 100% sure he's lying somewhere in his monologue, there's no reason to just reveal everything like this to Genos right now unless he has other goals. The heart-headed robot also doesn't scream 'big bad' to me either. And ONE wouldn't just have a villain do such a unambiguously evil monologue and let it be played straight. I guess this will somehow end with Kuseno revealing he always cared about Genos but had to play this role for some reason or another. And Saitama arriving will be the trigger to cut the bullshit and get to the heart of the matter.
>>287275472ONE is on a fucking roll
>>287281389That'd be incredible I hadn't thought of that
>>287279939>Mad Cyborg's haloe viewed straight on looks like Kuseno's stupid hair
>>287279939>>287279965That's neat, it's a blip on a heart monitor but it also makes it look "broken"
>>287280027That baldy's fast!
>>287279923Damn. Definitely feels like he's trying to provoke Genos into monsterizing / breaking his limiter like some other anon said. His goal is the fusion of cybernetics and monsterization? I'm guessing: Monsterize Genos, Break Limiter, Take over his new God-Level threat body?
>>287281471He is suspiciously always got a panel somehow. Blast was shown without only the face, and watchdog man show only his face while hiding his body, including his posture
>>287279877does kuseno know how strong saitama is?seems pretty confident pulling this shit now
>>287281719certainly the big question. He knows Saitama is stronger than Genos to a large degree, and probably has all the video/audio from Genos POV the whole series. At least saw him humiliate Garou.
>>287280863>Saitama saves the world>the HA organises a precedent-breaking name change conference>funding dries out the day before it happens>HA files for bankruptcy, all conferences are cancelled
>>287280561>>287277308>>287279731um, you're talking about scribbles
>>287280027I wanna get a pass but I get banned too much. Seems like it would never get used.
>>287281851The HA deserves to go bankrupt. I know it's part of the joke but they're stupidly incompetent to have completely overlooked Saitama's presence when their only purpose is to find strong heroes to protect the world.
>>287282028The joke is that real life associations are even less competent than the HA.
>>287282028It was comprehensive before he applied to the HA association, since Saitama never publicized his actions and his battles lasted less than a minute. The problem is when he broke all physical tests and participated in most dragon level battles, while being revered by Genos, Bang, King, Sweet Mask and Lighting Flash
>>287279533>tourists unironically believe this
>>287280863>it's you guys' fault my name's not capped baldy!
>>287275472WHAT DO YOU MEAN 159? I HAVE WAITED FOR AN UPDATE SINCE 156. YOU BEST NOT BE JOKING
>>287282199Seems like a lot of people missed the recent updates.Maybe when this thread archives, I'll make a thread to dump 157 to 159.
Chapter 157: https://cubari.moe/read/imgchest/a846qxkzoyx/1/1/Chapter 158: https://cubari.moe/read/imgchest/ljyqmzwle72/1/1/Chapter 159: https://cubari.moe/read/imgchest/bp45jp2bvy5/1/1/
>>287282219>>287282297Actual hero unlike do nothing organ donors and first responders.
This arc resolves>Sweet Mask staying a hero>Saitama S-rank>Genos backstory>neo heroes>Kuseno/Bofoy backstory>Darkshine back in business>Zombieman powerup (if ONE didn't forget about him)>Blue probably an android but we'll seePlot points left:>prophecy>god>blast>watchdogmanMinor beats left:>tank top not being a jobber>sonic being more than comic relief (unlikely)>black sperm truly becomes dimple 2.0>Tatsu/Flashy flash side quests>Garou starts doing heroism as a hobby tooYep, I'm thinking next arc is the last one.
>>287275834>ONE
>>287281442>Kuseno revealing he always cared about Genos but had to play this role for some reason or anotherYeah I feel exactly 100% like this too
>>287282351Intuitively, I understand that this is a shitpost. Emotionally, I'd like to use your teeth as a golf tee.
>>287280523MY FUAR-KING HERO
>>287281526>>287279965its going to be a mouth with spikey teeth
>>287279729Of course he's bugged everyone's house.
>>287279729>you can't do that! Shut up kid
>>287281719>>287281766Don't you remember he literally studied Saitamas body in the tube? And Drive Knight did the Saitama transformation
>>287279710>I-I knew it all alongheh
>Another chapter.I dreamt this.
>>287279965Where'd the halo go?
>>287276504>Genos's whole story is confirmed to be a lie.Nah Kuseno says he killed his family so Genos at some point was human
>>287275472Is there even any point in reading this after the Garou arc? Seemed to pretty much wrap up the entire series as far as I'm concerned.
>>287283315Nah, he's just trying to get Genos to monsterize, then take his body or something
>>287277176Nah genuinely even ignoring anything from the manga we still have the scene of Garou looking up at the sky saying thanks and some black smoke leaving his body.Like it's kinda cope to pretend that was just Garou coughing up Black lung, sure its not necessarily god, but one wouldn't have wasted time on the god spread not to bring him up. Like objectively speaking he never spent time going hard drawing something in Mob without it being important
>>287279265Eh rereading Kenichi in the story time made me realize even female being fully naked isn't distracting after enough time
>>287279533I know you're baiting, but I do unironically want to see the manga adaptation of this arc.I'll never get the seethe some people have its almost as bad as the dragon ball fans fighting over what in post Z is good if anything.
>>287283431The reason is as you've said. But it's not just bait, statements like this are rarely, if ever, made in good faith. Not to mention, the manga adaptation has proven to have a bad track record in adapting the recent arcs. The best reason to sincerely look forward to how the manga will do it, is for the comedy and shitposting factor, especially when the redraws set in.
>>287280027ONE STEP!!!
What's the point of sperm after ma arc
>>287280255Strictly speaking they are only called a series in the manga in the webcomic it could just be their names. But thats getting pedantic
>>287279965>>287279939>>287279908It's the Heart either because it will posses Genos or because it's Kuseno's last shred of humanity
>>287280764Unknown but like a couple days have been noted to pass at minimum
>>287283838Monsters with mental degradation can reform too
>>287279929He's gone several years without releasing any.
>>287283838Just the little monkey fellah, what's your problem?
>>287281705>>287281471I dunno it kinda ruins the guy in a dog suit joke if he was more important than just "strong man who loves his city and JUST his city"
>>287283361We haven't heard of a machine monsterizing so chances are some part of Genos is still human
>>287275976>Watchdog Man's city looks mostly unscathed How does he do it?
>>287284008Yeah his brain, pay attention anon.
>>287283404I was distracted by Tatsumaki’s poor handling in the manga and how it forgets her unhinged and strange nature to focus on waifuing her.With how her outfit is in the manga, it would’ve been funnier if they made the awkward upskirting a lot more casual instead of pin-pointing directly at it for a crappy panties joke.
>>287284015He's Saitama's homunculus obviously. Just look at his face.
>>287284008This chapter confirms Genos is a cyborg not AI (unless Kuseno is lying which could be the case).
>>287284015By being the best boy
Our behind the scenes behind the scenes protector...
>>287279729
>>287279762Saitama's real friends.
>>287279948>The Protomen starts playing
>>287279740>i'll also issue a 30 kilometer radius evacuation order around kuseno's hqThis might be the only time somebody besides Genos is fully aware of Saitama's capabilities.
>>287280353He was just covered in dirt and blood.It's the reason why Saitama called him on his costume, the joke being that he is the only one that saw through Garou monster act/tantrum.
>>287280027*THE HERO starts playing*
>>287279782I kneel.
>>287276025>>287276048Everyone is (rightfully) praising the composition here, but I just want to add how good ONE is at using paneling to create a sense of timing.In >>287276025 it's a page with a lot of text and many panels, which means it takes longer to read, and thus feels slow. And the page ends with Saitama standing still, not visibly preparing to run at all, and even asking a question that you'd expect to be answered.And then in >>287276048 Saitama is already running with the HA in the background. It makes it feel like Saitama traveled that whole distance in the time it took you just to turn the page.It seems like such a small thing, but you'd be surprised how few mangaka do this.
>>287283838he funny why would you wouldn't want him alive
>>287279533maybe next decade, mangafriend. He's gonna do a few more redraw arcs for sure.
Can someone here link me the 2chan thread ?
>>287284452Good point and a neat trick. The webcomic really is the gift that keeps on giving
>>287280027https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpxgYvjAEko
>>287284183Gonna use this the next time I get into an argument with my dumbass friend.
>>287279729>>287279740This scene is extra funny because child emperor probably isn't aware of the full extent of what Saitama can do and is wondering what Bofoi's even doing there.
>>287284183I certainly don't like the idea of being spied on, but at least with him, I can actually believe that he isn't>viewing it>selling it>using it for blackmailAn AI (highly sophisticated compared to the garbage we have now) that can detect crime with 99.9% accuracy and used to alert police, who still have to do their job would be a dream compared to what we have to deal with now.
>>287285117>selling it>using it for blackmailHe gotta fund his army of robots somehow.
>>287275472Zero appearance of Blast and somehow still better than Murata fanfic version lmao How could he made Blast lame as fuck?
>>287285143Considering that Kuseno was just complaining about Bufoi and his morals, I don't believe he would do this. He seems like he got funding from other things and tries to be above board as much as he can
>>287279729Thanks, TL note
>>287279762>>287279772OURHEROESHOLYSHIT
>>287280158We don't know, his house was destroyed by the robot army and he wasn't there and the last time we actually saw him, he was training to get stronger.
So what's he gonna do when Saitama shows up?
>>287284358A pic this cool doesn't deserve to be posted in such a small resolution.
What's the point of this story? Is there even a plot or theme anymore?
>>287285374Miscalculate like every antagonist so far
>>287285384What's the point of any story?
So, waaaaay back, did ANYONE predict Kuseno being bad?I actually got sad when he "died"...
>>287275976The property value around WDM must be the highest in that world right?With a fucked up planet like that with monsters attacking daily, living right next to the hero that best protects his territory seems like it'd be amazing
>>287285415I was rooting for the android that died actually developing fatherly feeling for Genos and the cyber him being different, but I don't think it's possible anymore (unless that personality was backed up and somehow appears again, which is even more doubtful). The cyber copy would be just as cruel.
how is it possible that even after all this time, anytime ONE posts a new webcomic chapter it just FEELS infinitely better than the shitshow that has been the manga for the past...5 years or so?
>>287285436Yes, it was called out that property there was worth as much/more than near the HA HQ. I think it was around the time Tatsu was fighting Saitama.
>>287285474Can you stop having Murata rent-free in your head for five minutes?
>>287285474True
>>287277552He'll show up late to find Genos dead and he'll go all psycho and blow up Jupiter
>inb4 Genos was actually Kuseno's masterpiece all along>Saitama has to fight Genos to stop Kuseno
>>287285471Huh, that's an interesting parallel to the house of evolution guy.
>>287284605I dont think so, seems like someone beat the shit out of him cuz lately the chapters have been 1:1 copies of the webcomic, hopefully he will not become a retard again and start adding filler in between
>>287279923This was predictable, but the delivery is perfect.
>>287279710Saitama would have trusted him if he was bald.
>>287279923>I can remember as much as I want>But I don't want toHe's 100% ragebaiting
>>287279729Would Bofoi's AI system report you to the police for piracy or would he let it slide?
>>287285775Bofoi feels like the kind of person who wouldn't care about things like piracy personally, but sifting out all the exceptions would be to much work so he'd just let them get arrested.
>>287285719Eh they're as different as it was prior to Siryu appearing for the first time. It's basically back to being a NG+ version of webcomic
>>287283838Thematically, I'm too stupid. As tools for the narrative, HQ logically is going to get hit really really hard, but most combatants worth a damn aren't going to be here to defend it, because they live elsewhere or have got drama going on or plot hooks to investigate or other city's to defend. Black Sperm meanwhile has nothing better to do than hang out at home and is strong enough to logically fend off the enemy.
>>287279908But that manga was axed!
>>287279729It's funny because he cares VERY much for his own privacy and told CE to fuck off several times because of potential leaks.
>>287279533>I can't wait to see this in Murata's art
>>287280158training with Garou
>>287279762Can the HA even doing anything when most of the S Class are on his side now?
I fuarking called it
>>287286047Wow, anon, you're so special! Nobody came up with this theory before you
>>287280863Just Punch man. One is the name of the author
>>287286077I know, right? Maybe ONE will give me a medal or something...
>>287286047>"man my bendy arms are so cool, if i ever have to disguise myself as a human i want something that looks like them, what do you think destro?">"norwood 1"
>>287285974You are being too accurate for a parody.
>>287275472ONE is on a tear right now.
Here a wild guess, Geno's is holding dr koseno brain
>>287275472Oh, finally my fix.
>>287280258What if it's a setup for subversion and Genos actually won't be able to get back into his senses
Blast seriously need to finish his job ,
Wut
>>287286486At this point Blast is either Saitama (caused by the rumors of stuff he did) or Watchdog man (as another anon suggested)
>>287281389>Blast abandoned his family because he got too deep into dog roleplay Many such cases...
>>287279729Kek, I love Bofoi.
>>287279877Man Blast used to actually do stuff back in the day huh...Now he's probably just doing a 9 to 5 in an Amazon warehouse while this shitstorm is happening.
Blast got monsterized and become a dogman monster. He later reform and decided to protect only 1 City as a hobby.
>>287286513>At this point Blast is either SaitamaAlmost certainly not true given the Tatsumaki flashback.
>>287286633Could easily be a red herring
>>287276360It WOULD be pretty funny.I'll take either that or Watchdog turns out to have been Blast or something.
I've always been wondering, what if Saitama has also undergone monsterization but his transformation solely consisted of him losing his hair? Imagine we get the reversal of monsterization as the next arc, then some kind of god arc as the last arc, and finally the end is just monsters vanishing and Saitama returning to normal, regrowing his hair
>>287285974Too close to home.
>>287286680Give up, baldy, your hair is not coming back
>blast got the same assigment as tatsumaki and flash but on a different planet
>>287279948>I won't let everything go according to your calculationsGenos... you dense motherfucker.
>>287279827>Deleting information about the past of one of your strongest projects and not realizing how that could be potentially usefulI don't care how many quantum turbo-processors this nigga's upgraded himself with, he's a fuckin idiot.
If blast have full time job , surely the robot must have attack him in full scale attack accident or not , right
>>287286513This got debunked more than a few times over the years.I don't remember all the arguments but first of all Blast was already well into his 20-30's when he freed Tatsumaki and if I recall she's around the same age as Saitama, who was still a wagie with hair at the time and no powers.
>>287286782He used his S-class hero wage to buy a property in Watchdog's city
>>287286852Actually scratch that, Tatsumaki was a kid in the flashbacks wasn't she? Saitama would still be in school then.
>>287276360>>287286668It would be interesting in the same way Arya one-shotting the Night King was interesting. Funny to think about, but something I hope never happens in the series; the same way I hope Saitama doesn't lose his powers and regain his hair.
>>287279908>>287279939Odds Heart Gear actually forces a Serious Series move out of Saitama?
>>287287117That's basically asking if Genos can force a Serious Series move. Heart Gear's likely getting destroyed by Genos before Saitama reaches, but in the case that doesn't happen, I guess it's possible? I wouldn't count on it, though.
>>287285143He sells most of his tech back to the HA, probably some of it to whatever military forces besides the HA the world has, most modernized homes probably use at least 2 pieces of tech (besides the AI monitoring) are his intellectual property, and is an S-Class Hero who probably gets military contractor type money.
>>287287154Yeah but let's also take into account Kuseno has>Detailed Information about all S-Class Heroes including Blast and unless it's an empty boast means it's actually stronger than him>He studied Boros' body and most likely determined Heart Gear needs to be stronger than him because whoever killed him would pose a threat to his goal>Has SOME knowledge of Saitama via Genos' praises and probably some recordings
>>287287210>Detailed Information about all S-Class Heroes including Blast and unless it's an empty boastIt's basically always an empty boast, Genos is the obvious final confrontation for Saitama.The other two points only add to Heart Gear's jobber vibes.
>>287285974kek
>>287287210>he studied Boros’ bodyNo, he didn’t. Boros was in Metal Knight’s lab.>detailed information about all S-Class heroesThat doesn’t mean shit, considering he underestimated Metal Bat’s capabilities, which ultimately helped stop the robot invasion. Not to mention a lot of S-Class heroes got massively buffed, so his calculations should be way off.But if he’s not bullshitting about Heart Gear, then Genos should lose to him. Kuseno provided Genos with his arsenal, so he knows his limits best.
>>287282540Tatsumaki's sister Fubuki needs to become stronger too. But always ignored by her crush, Saitama.
>>287285555Nice quads. It'd be more on par with Saitama style that he didn't know what to say after seeing Genos completely defeated
>>287287455>>287287210He literally assumed King was strong
>>287280226King's meta luck is easily Dragon+ tier so either Bofoi assumes King already saw through the surveillance or King accidentally destroyed all equipment in his apartment.
>>287279762>Saitama instantly chooses to give up on promotionMy hero has grown so much...
Why does ONE hate salarymen so much? Every page is dripping with sheer hatred for them.
>>287288329You mean the execs?
Since when does /a/ like superheroes?
>>287288333Kind of. I get the sense that he hates any bureaucrats at all.
>>287288340Since Samurai Flamenco
>>287288340Since kamen Rider
>>287279948Genos, you are such a lovable fucking retard.
>>287288357any sane man hates bureaucrats with every fiber of their being
>>287279923
>>287288895Another fine addition to my collection.
>>287288787Me when I'm underage
>>287288340Hulk would probably beat Saitama.
>>287289125Saitama could shatter the green door
>>287288984>>287288329>t.angry and mad bureaucratkek
>>287289125I mean yeah. Retarded savage Hulk shook the entire marvel omniverse when he was trapped in the crossroads and literally punched a time storm. He is broken aa fuck.
>>287289125And power man would beat the hulk, who fucking cares
>>287289125BEASTulk is STRONG!!
>>287289125Good for Saitama, honestly.
>>287289463Who is this "power-man"? Is he strong?
>>287282927>Drive Knight did the Saitama transformationand it did jackshit so kuseno either doesn't understand his strength or he has a God tier ace up his sleeve
>>287290161Judging by his speech he believes himself to be one. It's unclear how much of anything he's saying isn't bullshit though.
>>287288357saitama's average joe character just works best when contrasted with corporate suits
Kuseno probably knows to some degree none of his robots can fuck up Saitama, Fuzzy already admits the AI calculations all failed Pretty obvious to me Genos *is* his ace in the hole because he needs an irregularity under his control to be able to reproduce it
I am honestly truly baffled how so many people online STILL say that ONE is somehow writing the manga instea of Murata. Read Versus, Mob Psycho, and the OPM webcomic and then compare it to the manga. It obviously isn't the same writer.
>>287290311Yes yes we've gone over this already
>>287290311It sometimes crosses my mind that One could be playing a sick joke on Murata and he's too dumb to realize it. I don't think it's true, but it is funny to think about.
>>287290365Yet people like you still defend Murata.
>>287280038You know who else had a halo? Lucifer
>>287290379I don't, I hate the manga I'm just saying you're being redundant because this same comment has already been made multiple times in this thread even and even bringing this up is just inviting more bait conversation
>>287290374there's a proper timeline where Murata's magical girl series was picked up and is still running and I wish it was the one we're in now.
>>287290418Tell me more about this, magical girl series.
>>287290404everyone agrees with that statement so it can't really be considered bait. it's more so stating the obvious
>>287290455Dangan Tenshi Fan Club.You probably already read it but forgot about it.
Murata is just seething that he couldn't work on Dragon Ball.
>>287285974Forget Bofoi, what's going to happen to Blue is significantly more terrifying.>>287290311There have always been people who don't or can't read what they allegedly like; it's nothing new or special, unfortunately.>>287290506I don't follow /dbs/, but didn't they also argue about who writes the Dragon Ball Super manga? Funny that.
>>287286860>>287286852>>287286633Time travel
>>287282540>tank top not being a jobberWe've covered that one already.
>>287285655>Ryumon meant everything said in this speech>he was referring to himself in the first panel>and in the second panel>he's just overtly blunt in the third panel>in the fourth panel, it's reasonable that he distrusts the HA, considering Metal Bat does, too>in the fifth and sixth panel, it's just him not knowing how to be smooth with his words as usual
>>287290521>what's going to happen to Blue is significantly more terrifyingWhy?His battlesuit is broken and the Neo Heroes are all but getting disbanded.
>>287290629In the manga, I mean, I was responding to an edit making fun of it.
>>287290649Oups, sorry missed the context.
>>287290374I wonder if they had some bet, like let's see what's better Art or Writing, but the terms where whoever gives up first and it got way out of hand.
>>287288357They're just portrayed as useless and self-interested. If you want a level of writing that basically characterizes them as celestial dragons, you know where to look.
>>287290521>I don't follow /dbs/, but didn't they also argue about who writes the Dragon Ball Super manga?They used to, but they sort of stopped when Toei announced the return of the anime and adapting one of of the manga-only arcs.
>>287279635>Bofoi doesn't have a voyeur fetishFunny.
>>287285374Machine God GOD Mode
>>287279858Ah, we are finally seeing it huh?
>>287279858Did anybody predict that Kuseno himself was the Mad Cyborg? Because I didn't.
>>287291183Remains to be seen if thats true.
>>287291183It was always a bit suspicious that Genos, a victim of the mad cyborg, got taken in by an expert on cyborg technology of all people.
>>287291183Closest people got was Genos being the Mad Cyborg himself.
>>287280027Is Saitama as fast as light? Surely he should be there in an instant
>>287291208Kuseno himself says that he fought and lost to Blast during that attack.>>287279877
>>287291270If he ran as fast as he could, he'd cause a lot more damage than necessary.A needle moving at the speed of light could destroy the earth.
catching up was a pleasant surprise. glad ONE loves metal bat too
>>287279877>slaughters dozens of child soldiers mercilessly>traumatises Tatsumaki with his shitty advice>let the Ninja Leader escape>let Kuseno escape>bad relationship with his own sonBlast...
>>287291183People predicted that he MADE the mad cyborg, but not that he IS the mad cyborg
>>287284452Reading manga online in a single long vertical scroll made me forget the magic of page turning composition like this.
>>287291183>Mad CyborgWas never real. Just an image from Genos's false memories. Kuseno is using that form to anger him. Genos will become the real "mad cyborg"
>Seeing all those cheesy comparisons with the manga on X.Hazukashi... Underage-Kun!
Post yfw monsterized Genos activates Genocide mode during the fight against Saitama
>>287290045It's Jackie Chan, Hulk's fuckedI have no idea why the German version of Wheels on Meals is called Powerman but it is what it is
>>287283838Black Sperm will become a hero and everyone will stop looking down on him.

>>287288329>――But then in February 2010, just as One-Punch Man’s popularity was on the rise, you announced that you were putting it on long-term hold. You said this was because you had gotten a job…>ONE: Due to family matters, I decided to get a job for a year. But my plan was to not goof around and just save up as much money as I possibly could, then quit. That way, the year after that I wouldn't have to bother with even a part-time job, and could focus on drawing manga full-time. I intended to spend 365 days doing nothing but manga, and if that didn't lead anywhere, I’d give it up.>――I imagine you faced some very difficult struggles during this period.>ONE: Not being able to draw manga was hell. During that year I tried as much as necessary not to think about manga. On the flip-side, I also sometimes thought that I might calm down once a year had gone by. Even though work was tough, my boss was nice, and I wondered if I really needed to take the risky path of giving up my job.>But thinking it over, in the end, it had to be manga. My schedule didn't even allow me to draw manga on my days off, so I passed each day with no time to express all the story ideas that popped into my head. I decided to give it a real shot, rather than just gloomily go on working my whole life, and so I quit my job.
>>287285655He really did go from 0 to best boy within a short order.
so is kuseno actually evil or is he trying to create the ultimate good by being evil????
>>287293218Probably just evil. Bofoi is the "evil(global surveillance) for greater good" guy here.
>>287275760>>287275782Can't wait for Murata to ruin it!
>>287293218Unless he's lying about wanting to destroy humanity, he's definitely evil. Even if he dresses it up as not actually "destroying" humanity but just reshaping it to his ideal vision through monsterization, it's still fucked.
I missed 3 chapters? What the fuck.
>>287286680That's pretty reminiscent of the mob psycho ending. Maybe saitamas arc could be being less focused on his hobby and finding happiness and value in life again. If we see Blast again I hope he's mellowed out and done something more fulfilling with his life, maybe having a family, possibly giving Saitama a talking to about getting too caught up in his hobby and losing track of what makes life really enjoyable. Saitama losing focus on heroism, becoming less impossibly strong, finding joy and maybe having a shot of a terrible haircut in a final panel after hiding his head for a whole chapter.
>>287291270If he ran there at the speed of light he'd run past his destination.
>>287286780He might actually just be lying. Either way, he's obviously trying to goad Genos into "going all out," and as usual, Genos falls for it like a chump.
>>287292190
Feels like there's going to have to be some other purpose like maybe Genos is a robot to kill god or something, if ONE has any intention of using God. I'm just not getting any interal logic from become murder bot, get BTFO'd, decide to make murder bot army and then have weird pet hero and continue to goad him on to the point of mental breakdown.
>>287285374it would be extermely lame if he, for Nth time, is a villain who completely underestimates and miscalculates saitama's strength. i expect him to try to use genos against saitama somehow, this fight with genos is trying to trick genos into going berserk
>>287295214No, it gets funnier every time it happens.
>>287294815>Genos is a robot to kill godFuck off Murata. These are our threads.
>>287295214Of all people he should be the last to underestimate Saitama I think.Through Genos he knows firsthand how ridiculous this guy is, and he even examined Saitama personally.It also seems like he understands Saitama's weakness: the fact that he can't be everywhere at once.
If this was a manga arc, /a/ would be calling it the worst thing ever
>>287295718Well, it's not the manga arc.
>>287295283God has to come back at some point unless Murata's autism over it has turned ONE off of the idea.
>inb4 the next 1year hiatus starts now
>>287295799God appears in the manga only to immediately say I must go my planet needs me the next panel.With a small blurb of it dying on its way home.Followed by one signing a letter he will never appear again in perpetuity.
>>287280015>Genos is waiting for me
>>287295718
>>287279858What a tweest. Can't believe the mad cyborg is finally here.
Anyone else think that Saitama is actually going to leave the Hero's Association permanently? I bet he'll join Sweet Mask's network of outcasts due to politicking keeping him from returning
>>287296724Leaving and then coming back is how he'll get his name changed to Story by ONE
>>287295979if god ever appears in the webcomic it will be just to get one punched by Saitama.>>287295214it's not that he underestimates Saitama. It's just that the whole joke about Saitama is that his strength makes no sense within the setting. It breaks the rules of his universe so nobody can actually understand it.
>>287283906>>287280255>>287279908i was more talking about this
>>287280203Maybe genos killed everyone and kuseno is playing villain to maintain genos sanity.
>>287279984watchman dog's city looking pristine.
>>287280020>>287286486>>287291276>>287291484It's very likely that Blast let so many threats live purposely. Maybe he's too compassionate, like a Saitama that envisioned being a merciful hero powerful enough to stop anyone but not kill them. Or it could be a wakuwaku scenario and he wants his foes to come back stronger.
>>287295214>it would be extermely lame if he, for Nth time, is a villain who completely underestimates and miscalculates saitama's strength.that's the joke though

>>287296724Even with the knowledge the Neo Heroes were a ruse from the start, I doubt the Hero Association survives this incident either.
>>287296724His house in the monster zone is destroyed. He'll no longer be able to live in his current apartment. Nor do I think he's handy enough to build himself a cabin. He has no options.
>>287300606Or he's just not murderer. Saitama doesn't kill humans either.
Is limiter breaking even a thing? It apparently only ever happened once in human history. If it was an established mechanic you'd expect more than a single example.
>>287288329The opposite, actually. Mob Psycho showed that ONE is a classical jap and loves the salaryman grindset and thinks everybody should be a cog in the machine.
>>287301806You can never give up on your convictions, that's why Garou failed in the webcomic.
>>287295718Murata could have the best script to ever grace earth and he would turn it into dogshit. So yes.
>>287285974Fuck I can see this shit happening...
Would they ever do a physical release for the Webcomic?
Why won't murata stick to one's script?
ONE traced this
>>287302811Envy. It pisses him off that someone no where near as talented as him in art has succeeded in making several financially successful series.
>>287282219Wait a few more days for 160 to come out.
>>287302961One draws better
I feel like Dr Kuseno will reveal Genos is probably his ultimate weapon and he wants to test it out on Saitama. We'll have a Saitama and Genos face off like the first match and Saitama will reveal Genos gotten stronger. Then he'll snap out of it and thank Sensei
>>287291208>>287291276Kuseno could easily be lying. Wasn't Bofoi autistic about how meaningless that kind of conversation was just a couple of chapters ago?
>>287300606Or Blast could just be half-assing it because he doesn't like being a hero very much.
>>287300606Blast slaughtered Flashy and Sonic's entire cohort, no way he's a pacifist.
>>287283373Garou was saying thanks to Saitama. I don't know how people turn that scene into Garou thanking Homeless Emperor's sugar daddy.This theory is basically just superimposing the manga on the webcomic, more than respecting the webcomic as its own thing. Before the manga did the MA Arc, I never saw any theory like this.
>>287283373>Garou acts like an edgy loser>people completely buy into his act and pretend its anything more than that, Murata included>even after Saitama wrecks him mentally and physically and explicitly calls him a guy in a shitty monster cosplayCertainly a roundabout way of complimenting how ONE wrote Garou.
>>287303880When laid out like that, this just makes Garou sound like Eren, down to the community completely misinterpreting who he actually is, in favour of the caricature of themselves they made up.
>>287295214He knows how strong Saitama is, at least at a low estimate.That's why he sent Drive Knight and all those diversions to the HA HQ, so Saitama wouldn't catch wind of what is happening to Genos in time to react.This arc has been pushing the notion that AI can only be defeated by unknown estimates caused by human will, and for Kuseno, Saitama's overwhelming power isn't unknown, so the solution is gonna have to be something outside of Kuseno's expectations, like for example Genos, a cyborg that is completely under his control, acting like a human.
>>287303970Yeah, this sounds right.
Reminder that there are people who never got to see the Mad Cyborg reveal. Congratulations to everyone who has made it this far. I hope we get to see WC Blast in full together before the boomers in charge drag everyone down the path of ruin for the nth time again..
>>287291183I still think there is no mad cyborg.
>>287301760But elder centipede. Or maybe he sees all monsters as still human
>>287285374He'll force Genos to fight him
What happened to Kuseno's real body?
>>287295718If it were a manga arc the moon would be in half the panels this chapter would be five chapters and Kuseno would have had a decoy out front with three phases and the "Mad Cyborg" would be fifty feet tall covered in flashing lights with lines tracing up and down it before shrinking down to a humanoid form after taking an offer from God 10 chapters and three redraws later.
>>287305119Genos was just created in the lab
>>287305365i think he's the "Brain" gear to the rest of the machine series. It's the only bit of him that doesn't get destroyed.
>>287305392Maybe it'll be revealed he created Genos to get closer to Saitama and make him care for someone and then Saitama will be like "eh, I don't care about him"
Genos might be the son of blast which one of reason blast attack mad cyborg . And blue might be a clone of blast son with blast combat data .
>>287305522Genos is blast. It's all Genos does.
>>287305119What if there is a Mad Cyborg but Saitama just one-punched him one time and forgot about him
Why can't we get more Saitama x Tatsumaki moments?I want more fap fuel.
>>287305601Just go read One Hurricane
>>287305601Smurf...
>>287305647Is Golden Smurf still alive? I was hoping he had offed himself after the 20th redraw
>>287305664Hey, even if he has the typical artist brain problems I like his art.
>>287305853That's because you never interacted with him on Discord
>>287305885True, maybe that saved me.
>>287305338With the design of the Saitama Mode Drive Knight, Murata might even move the fight to the moon, and then they would fight God together.
