Yeah, it's typed as ドドドド... (dodododo). Now that I think of it, you see quite a bit of it in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and it's usually translated as (menacing). From what I understand, it's one of those weird onomatopoeia for things that don't actually make a sound, (you've probably seen a character stare at someone or something, with a じい~ (jii~) sound somewhere in that panel) so the fact that the people around hear the sound tells us that it's not just the usual menacing sound.

Or Onepunch-Man's world runs on cartoon logic: all sound effects, whether normally audible or not, are actual physical objects in the world :tinfoil:

Close, it's ドッドッドッドッ。Read all together it would be doddoddoddo like King of Solomon said, with the double d sound being like a quick pause between each Do. In that way, it could sound like an engine running or at least idling. But I guess it could also be a bunch of individual ドッ's, which would then be a bunch of loud quick Do's, like how あ is just Ah, but あっ is more like a gasp or realization, "ah!" If I'm making any sense at all. I'm more inclined towards the first description, but only a native/fluent or someone who's read ahead I suppose can be sure.

Oops, I should've checked it today after reading it last night yesterday before overthinking :sigh:. Yeah, with the double d's it does actually sound like an engine. I don't think the ッ is a glottal stop, it just sounds silly to me. I'm still going with the he's really scared and his heart is racing explanation, if he's just bluffing. :colbert:

He was also around when they were discussing how to take down the alien ship. His response was pretty much "It's up there, I'm down here, nothing I can do :shrug:", while looking badass.

King skipped the 10km run in favor of practicing his glare. That's why he still has hair.

Speaking as someone that's actually read the original manga, they think they're being witty, but are really just being annoying and making people who haven't read it wonder what's up.

Guys, we have the ONE manga thread for a reason. Go do your in jokes there, it's not like there's any discussion on new chapters you'll be crowding out.

That's only true in cases where someone drops a spoiler that an unaware reader might miss or dismiss as speculation, where someone saying "stop posting spoilers" will flag that. No one's going to read the last page and think "huh, maybe these people are just speculating about King".

I did.

It's kind of funny how the only hinting left is by the author of the thread and all the "Stop hinting :(" people.

There's nothing in this or any previous chapters that suggest King is a weakling or whatever you're all so very subtly hinting at. The most I would have said is his personality isn't as strong as his appearance.

It was an extra chapter, not part of the main storyline.

Yeah, some of these people were making outright statements, and the same thing came up so many times from different people that even if it was phrased more speculatively it'd still be blatantly obvious.

It sucks too because I rely on this thread to know when updates and in particular edits of past chapters come, yet apparently reading it is going to spoil me on what's coming.

Probably peace out before the fighting since he can't fly.
