Is it just me or did Saitama go up in rank for the last chapter?

I desperately want to know why dog suit man is S-class.

He's Scruff McGruff's estranged cousin on his mother's side of the family. He doesn't take a bite out of crime so much as he rips its head off.

Although Licenseless Rider may not possess the raw strength and power of the S-Class heroes, his great heart and heroic spirit makes him their equal in every way that matters.

Yeah, but he was 101st in B before, wasn't he? Now he's jumped to 63rd.

Maybe 38 different B heroes pulled the same trick as the A Class dude who tried to jump Saitama right after the hero exam.

One chapter will be just that as one long vertical spread. :v:

That's probably my favorite panel from the original version.

I think he means how everyone is listed in order of power... including Saitama, the B rank hero at the very end.

They're not ranked in terms of power, they're ranked in terms of hero rating--in other words, marketability. The rad old martial artists and the kids are waaaaay high in the ranks, while the crazed multiple rapist is ranked at the bottom of the S class heroes.

It's a visual gag. From S rank 17 all the way up to S rank 1... and then Saitama. It's putting him above them all.

Yeah, there's really nothing to support that. At the very least, Genos would rank higher than the loving Pig God.

Even if they're not ranked in power (more like ranked in displayed power / apprehension prowess), they're clearly listed in order of ascending power for the sake of a joke.

You just gave me a great idea buddy.
What are the rules for discussion of the original webcomic? Is it allowed? Should it be properly spoilered as such?

Because as the original webcomic goes on we learn more about the other S-rankers which provides more details for what you guys are currently discussing.

Rules for discussion of the original webcomic are that they go in the, you know, original webcomic thread.

Sorry, the snark was unnecessary. On the other hand that thread is linked in the OP, though. Maybe I should make it more visible.

Rank DOES usually indicate power/fighting ability. The reason Genos and Saitama don't fit into that is because they're still new and haven't risen up the ranks yet.

I'm not entirely sure this is correct but Pig God's name might be based on Monkey King's companion from Journey To The West.
