His deadpan response might indicate a unique character flaw.
I think by this point we can say that he isn't a hero for the purpose of saving people, rather to be a hero for its own sake.

At the begging he acts to save the kid from the giant crab, and the girl during issue #1...
but other than those I can't think of an example of him being a hero to save anyone, his motives have always been self-centered or to meet a quota such as a weekly requirement or a special sale day.


He even admits this in the 5th issue

That last page with Saitama's chill-as-gently caress face while poo poo explodes behind him. I can't remember the last time a manga made me laugh that hard.

One has a really good sense of comedic timing.

Someone else's personal preference is the stupidest thing to bitch at them about. He wanted to read it in pseudo english to get the gist of it because precise dialogue isn't too important in an action manga. If this stuff were all about the plot and dialogue then you might have a slight point but even then it's a dumb thing to get on someone's case for.

It's a comedy manga.

I was thinking today how I want the volumes in coffee table book form.
Then I was thinking I could use the plotter at work to print out a giant page from the manga. Now I just have to find the best page.

I don't think I've laughed harder than when One Punch Man revealed his secret training regimen, so use that.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but ONE and Murata teamed up on two different one shots. One about the secret fan club of a magical teenage girl destined to save the world, and another about a band of adventurers rescuing a kidnapped princess.

Well, this thread inspired me to read this, then I finally caught up and all I see is something called "One". Anyway, I don't have much to contribute yet except to say this manga is awesome, if a bit repetitive.

But now that I see there's this "One" thing (the original I guess?) I feel like I'm watching the anime and have to deal with manga spoilers. I'm glad a new thread was just made. A lot of the panels are drawn that it feels like an anime as well.

ONE is the author of this manga, Murata is the illustator.

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.

Please don't insult the world's greatest hero, the Legendary Pig God.

Reminds me very distinctly of the devil bat (it's mostly in the expression, which doesn't match this reference pick, but I didn't want to dig through the entirety of ES21 to find that one image)



And I don't think it's a coincidence. That, or Murata can draw only one kind of flying head creature.

It's pretty much the same as how ONE drew it. Probably a coincidence.

Here is a thought--

Saitama's stated secret to gaining superpowers is to do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and run 10 km a day, yes? Well, as the characters noted in that chapter, it's clearly just a kind of routine fitness regimen, nothing special. Except for one detail-- they are all factors of ten!

Therefore, I deduce that the true secret to superpowers is not the training regimen per se, but rather to do everything in one's life over the course of a year in multiples of ten.

The true secret is never giving up and continuing on even when your body is wracked in pain and telling you to stop.

If you guys want to read more of ONE's work but don't wanna spoil One Punch Man, check out Mob Psycho 100.

It's the work that ONE does for a living and comes out weekly, as opposed to his hobby One Punch Man, which updates about as frequently as Berserk.

IMO it's just as good or better than OPM.

About 50 chapters, but Murata likes to expand and redraw a lot, not to mention the side stories that they create for this version

ONE's version is still incomplete, right? Does he have any plans for when Murata inevitably catches up with him?

We'll he can update a lot more frequently when he wants to. He was doing his gag manga at the same time as Mob psycho and OPM, and that's over now. He probably just doesn't feel as much pressure, considering Murata's not even halfway done yet, and he wants to do it on his own time. He recently released a chapter after about 5 months of nothing

Rider is like, the only other hero who just wants to protect people as best he can and the hell with the political bits. It's why Saitama likes him ( and why he's one of the few people in the Saitama fan club).

That's not true, there wouldn't be hundreds of heroes if they were all selfish jerks. The tornado of terror obviously wants to help people, so does genos and probably that dog guy
