I dont think I've ever seen someone draw an under-bubble shockwave city wave effect before in any comic east or west, this was dope

You know, it's not like I'm expecting realism in my anime fightmans comic, but

How the gently caress are any of those buildings still standing

How does the integrity of normal-rear end houses remain after bouncing on a shockwave of that size

HOW MUCH POWER DO THE BUILDING CONTRACTORS OF OPM HOLD

I mean in a world of actual superpowers and heroes, things are probably built more sturdily.

My money's on Bang, Tatsumaki, Darkshine, Flash and Atomic Samurai.

Special mention to Metal Bat after getting amped up possibly being being able to take him too. Though, considering his early showing against someone using martial arts, probably not.

The way I saw it, Saitama could have easily beaten Boros with just normal punches, but when Boros fired his planet destroying beam Saitama broke out the Serious Punch just to make sure there wasn't any collateral damage

Like Saitama could have beaten Elder Centipede with normal punches, but he needed to kill him in a way that wouldn't have destroyed the nearby city so he used a Serious Punch

TheLoneStar

If I recall, couldn't Boros only regenerate himself a finite amount of times before running out of energy? If he didn't bust out that planet-destroying attack, Saitama could have easily beaten him without a Serious Punch.

Perpetually a Pain.
Saitama only used his serious punch against Boros to nullify his spoilsport planet-killer attack. He would have beaten him with normal punches eventually (eventually being 'in one or two more attacks', not 'wearing him down over a long span of time').

I like Boros.

Yeah that was the point of the Boros fight - Boros put his heart into trying to defeat the prophesied Hero who could take Boros down, but Saitama was so far outside of his league that Saitama won trivially while still holding back.

I think ONE has joked at one point that Saitama can destroy the universe. But he needs two punches because he has to turn around and finish off what was behind him.

Its relatively meaningless to posit how strong someone is compared to saitama.

there's this story in Journey to the West, where because of a bet with Buddha to show who was mightier, Sun Wukong jumps all the way to the moon or the edge of the world or something where there are 5 pillars, and writes his name on one of them. then when he gets back, Buddha shows his hand, and on his finger was written Sun Wukong's name, which is a pretty powerful own

I kind of think of basically any villain in One-Punch Man as compared to Saitama as being about on Sun Wukong's level in comparison to Buddha

Translations out. Two different versions.


So are we just not gonna get some backstory on Orochi? He seems pretty dead now. I thought it would be revealed that he was originally Blast before being monsterized. I also thought he would turn out to be related to Bang and Bomb, and that he developed his own school of martial arts before mastering all of them. Then Bang, Bomb, and Garou would face off against him.

He decided to use kung-fu against Garou and then turned into a mass of tentacle-monsters also using kung-fu. That justifies his existence entirely in my book.

Also he helped push Garou’s character arc forward

You don't need to spoil your speculation. Also it's hilarious you think Blast is a bitch. The monster was created as an excuse to show off amazing spreads, like most of the Murata draw version of the comic. Basically none of that stuff will ever impact the plot in a real sense.
