I'm not entirely sure she'd survive it if he did. Actually, that's not true; I'm pretty sure she'd be paste if he tried anything along those lines.

ONE's version is pretty much all translated up to the latest chapter.

I say "pretty much" cause they skipped the earlier chapters that were already translated via the redraw, I think there was a plan to translate those later but I haven't gone to check.

TOO SHORT. TOO SHORT.

Also I'm curious whether or not Saitama would somehow have some kind of resistance to lolichick's telekinesis or something, I dunno.

How do you punch telekinesis?

Ah alright, that's what I figured, was just worried that the skipped chapters wouldn't cover some that were translated by the redraw. Welp, so long pretty version.

It is a great series. The cast of interesting support characters really make Saitama's unbeatable straight man routine work.

There are probably plenty of ways to neutralize or at least gently caress with him even if we've now seen that he can't be physically hurt. What could he do if Tatsumaki just lifted him off the ground? I suppose his lungs might be strong enough to just exhale himself back to a surface.

The best part of Onepunch-Man is that Saitama is literally as strong as the plot requires and nobody even turns a hair. Dude jumped from the loving Moon to Earth. It's like Silver Age comics except with a bald dude who gets pissed if he misses sales.

Generally he aims to put out new content every two weeks but sometimes this could be a redraw. He also does things like just expanding chapters instead of each release being a new one and the logic can be weird at times. I honestly thought this short little chapter would have been put into chapter 48 but nope, it's 49, because.

ONE is "whenever" since it's his side project he just does for fun.

Next arc, like every new arc, is going to be great. I love the section we're heading into right now.

Saitama really isn't very vindictive and doesn't care about the credit at all, though. He's already been treated like crap by the Tank Top heroes and the NEET kid after the Sea King fight, and his response both times was "I don't really care WHAT you think of me, I'm just going to keep being a hero." The only reason he even acted differently this time was because it was someone just throwing insults at him over and over, and the only thing you can do about that is ask your sidekick to come up with a good insult for you because you're bad at it.

Exactly. The point of OPM is that Saitama doesn't have a nemesis to fight, he's doesn't have anyone he needs to protect and he doesn't care about glory in any real sense. All he wants is to be a good hero, which is why his big challenge is getting up to S rank the legit way when he could wipe the floor with entire lineup of heroes from E to S class.

I'm still wondering exactly how bad you have to do on a written test if "God himself resides" in your body to be classified as C class. He broke every record by a huge margin, and I'm pretty sure he saved the Billionaire's daughter to get the Hero Association started in the first place.

Did they ask him the days of the week and he wrote, "Sunday, Monday, Sale-day, Wednesday..."? I guess it's a hero test. "What is the best way to defeat a Demon Level threat?" "Punch it once." "What is the best way to defeat a Dragon Level threat?" "Punch it seriously." "What is the best way to defeat a God Level threat?" "Punch it twice."

Pretty much, he just got everything wrong. He got in based solely on the fact that he's the most physically capable person.

He probably blew the written part because it had something to do with the correct money-making approach to the Hero Association, and Saitama is the kind of guy who doesn't care about credit and glory. He just wants to fight evil, because Heroes fight evil, and he's a Hero.

It's how the test was set up. Written test gives you half and Physical gives you half. You could be the best essay writer ever but if you have noodle arms you'll also be C class.

Murata will go back to the beginning and redraw Onepunch-Man again from the start, even better.

The problem with Murata drawing Mob Psycho 100 is that Reigen will actually look cool instead of being a humongous nerd who thinks he looks cool.
