the problem is that its introduced so many new things and characters but didnt give them enough air, and keeps introducing new things while only superficially addressing the old.
Does metal bat need to be here? Blast's sudden and cryptic appearance? Atomic Samurai's new fetchquest?

Theyre competing with things happening right now for your attention.

This would definitely be a time for the hopelessness to start maxing out, even before Garou's next step up in power. Golden Sperm just totally outclasses everyone present currently except Saitama and what Garou will become.

In the redraw, this shouldn't be the Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon from King, this is just when King shows up and intimidates all the cadres to give other S-class time to get back in the fight to bail him out. I do agree that there is not such a feeling of hopelessness in the redraw though, but there is still time for the S-class to get trounced some more.

e: it maybe was just reading week to week that really made me feel like that, binging the comic now it doesn't feel as hopeless, but also I know what's happening more or less. The King misdirect is only a page, i hope murata sells it better with a huge spread of his attack blowing away gold sperm.

Also I forgot that the kid Garou kept running into is not present in the redraw cadre fight. I'm rereading the whole ONE MA arc and it is quite different

e: we're roughly at chapter 73 in the webcomic: https://mangadex.org/chapter/500d7444-d4a9-4c91-bc34-60d8cb48319f/1

Yeah garou threatening to kill the kid and Saitama immediately calling his bluff can't happen here. What will happen instead. Neither will the cadres being a team then turning on each other when king threatens them, here they did it just because

So I'm guess we'll get a multi-cell sperm to try and fight against King and an injured Tatsumaki breaks their neck. Because jumping straight to Golden Sperm was made to make sense but just feels wrong to start off showing off the super form right away.

I really believe the overarching story arc of OPM is about a society on the brink of collapse.

I love the scene in that one manga chapter where Garou is walking through a city and he sees a large protest movement of humans who want to implement blood sacrifices to keep the monsters happy.

I'm betting the manga will have a form above Golden Sperm.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Finally read the latest of Murata. That THUMP THUMP THUMP.

If it's not the beam, then yeah, tehre's time to make that hopeless feeling. It's almost there with Genos dragging Tatsumaki by his loving teeth because he's so broken. The swordsmen just need to have one of 'em die and everyone else on the floor bloodied up, and after that it's just the last S-Tier wave (Puri Puri Prisoner, Metal Bat) jobbing, and hammer home how Child Emperor has completely run out of options and Bofoi isn't even coming (maybe he finally replies wtih an "i'm busy")

Furher Ugly needs to do something drastic here, though. It feels like he's being setup to die to Garou, which while it would make him look even more powerful, it has that effect of lessening the villain threat since villain kills villain means less villain, more hope for heroic iwn.

I think wave motion cannon is happening in the redraw next chapter

Feels too early, like we could use another chapter or two of all the S-class in despair. That or this is the King fakeout so the S-class backs off? Dunno how its gonna play out, but pretty sure that’s King Engine in the last panel

I'm going to have to reread the whole arc in 3 years when it's finally done and redrawn, I have no idea where anyone is and what are they doing. If I didn't read the webcomic first I would be completely lost

I doubt it will be as early as next chapter. There has to be several "chess" pieces to arrive first. At a minimum, Child Emperor and Evil Natural Water will have to come back.

I agree, though, that I could have used another chapter or two of despair (except that I'm just so happy for a new chapter after 3 months)

It's clear at this point ONE and Murata are using the online published chapters as drafts for the printed volumes. So if you're confused on the plot then just wait for those to release.

I also guarantee the pacing is much better.

If Murata doesn't fully deliver on the Wave Cannon, he's a hack who should stick to horny drawings.

I'll have you know the Good Lord Murata has never, not once, ever disappointed with King's Engine, the People's Champ.

If anything he has improved it with all the extra King content embellishments.

Really seem like all the focus on the Monster Association and cadres was a bit a of red herring to hide the fact that the whole operation was essentially a nesting ground for God.

The S class were hopelessly out-matched without Garou and Saitama, which will bridge well into the next arcs with each of the heroes exploring ways to get stronger.

It really is kind of neat that ONE is setting up this one ultimate Big Bad in the background. This one feels different than all the other Super Huge Mega Threats we've seen before. Maybe he can take two whole Saitama punches!
