I dunno. This is a plot that would lend itself well to comedic timing. Having a super action packed scene come to a sudden stop and onepunch man delivering a punchline completely deadpan and :geno: could be really hilarious.

The problem is that it would have to become less detailed, unless it was done as OVAs or a movie, which would loose the "barely-detailed Saitama, extremely detailed villains" thing it has going.

No, it's all bad. They saved their images in (probably 16 color) png which made the grey tones look like pixelated poo poo, and despite the entire chapter having maybe 30 lines of text they still managed to make mistakes.

Perfectionist, much? The chapter was plenty enjoyable.

For those who are interested, someone's begun translating ONE's original version of Onepunch-Man, starting from the beginning of the arc after the one that's currently ongoing in Murata's version. I haven't actually read them so I can't comment on the quality of the translation. Naturally this includes spoilers for the current arc as well as future ones for Murata's version, and you all know what ONE's art is like, so I'd recommend reading only if you really, really have to know what happens next.

Yeah... just "read" all of One's stuff. His art is so bad barely understand what is happening. Also, I don't know Japanese. Well, you all can look forward to more of naked prisoner super hero angle mode rear end.

I find One to be good at drawing, even if the actual quality of the art is poo poo. As in, he's good at drawing scenes so that you know what's going on for the most part. Also, in case you don't know, there's a translation of the One version that starts after the current arc of the Murata version.

I think tornado's offmodel looks exactly like she looks in the original version, which is pretty great because maybe we'll get this

One chapter will be just that as one long vertical spread. :v:

I might have to go read ONE's old terribly-drawn comics just so I can get my fix. This series is great. Just wish it was more easily available.

Do it, it's totally worth it. And ONE's art isn't as awful as people make it seem. It is fairly poor quality, but the actual composition is quite good; good enough that you can pretty easily tell what's going on despite the otherwise poor quality.

So I stepped away from this series a year ago or so and just binged through all the chapters again. Holy poo poo, I forgot how god like Murata is in his drawing. Now I'm all caught up, and I have wait for chapters just like everyone else. :( Also, we still haven't seen what Watchdogman does yet (I hope its kept a secret running joke for a bit longer only because the reality can't possibly be as good as our imagination... can it?).

If you're jonesin you can always read the original webcomic version; it's all been translated.

It should be noted that OPM is something One does on the side, whereas he actually gets paid for Mob Psycho 100. As such it has better art quality overall, and some legitimately good pages.

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.

He could just draw him like he does Saitama most of the time.

The Hero Association knows Saitama is strong. They're just not sure if they want to make him one of the faces of the organization by making him S-Rank.

S-rank guys aren't really the face of the organization. (Most of) them are well-known for being power houses and poo poo, but they're not in the limelight like Sweet Mask, for example. IIRC

They're not making Saitama immediately acknowledged because that would ruin the joke.

Gonna say that a flame thrower doesn't seem all that harmless. Those dudes flailing about on fire seemed to not be having fun and seeing that would probably make those not on fire fairly compliant. Strongman and Magician seemed kind of in over their heads though. But who knows? Licenseless Rider could take a serious beating and walk away. Maybe these guys are hardier than they seem?

I'm pretty sure the only particularly dangerous criminals there were Garou and Sonic. They probably could have handled the rest.

They have released a playing cards deck with OPM characters that feature art from both of them and it have characters that didn't appear in Murata version yet.
So some the designs are already planned.
If you don't want spoilers, don't search for it, unless you want a sneak peak to see how upcoming characters are in Murata's style.

Happen to have a link to these? Can't seem to find anything about them from a google search.

I'm of the opinion that pretty much anyone Saitama's fought with that was not an outright joke by normal standards (like the bald power suit dude) is probably equivalent of an S-rank hero, if not higher (Boros, possibly Asura Rhino).

If I remember right from the FF7 Let's Play thread, in Japan, androgynous slim males are considered "most manly" and huge muscle bound guys are considered the feminine ones. It's the complete reverse in the West where it's the other way round.

Like, if Predator was an Asian film, it would star Gackt.

No idea if it's true or not.

Well since you can find examples of both those stereotypes here I'd imagine it'd be the same way for Japan, even if one or the other is more common. See rockstars in the 80s for pretty boy manly, or the bear stereotype for the other one.

Well One better shape the gently caress up if Murata or the Anime start approaching the end of what he's done so far. He can be as focused on Mob Psycho as he wants but Mob Psycho is not currently being doubly readapted and reaching enough fame for american Marvel/DC bloggers to call it the "Best Superhero Comic 2014".

I imagine he probably doesn't give a poo poo.

One of my favorite elements of that (spoilered in case anyone here wants to watch) is how he does the typical super-angry powerup/transformation, but not only does it not accomplish anything (since the character he kills was probably going to die anyway) but it results in him being a near death state and a major part of the next arc is trying to get him fixed up.

Genocyber

OPM is a little side thing he does. He has no reason to update it faster if he doesn't want to. Plus if he updated it more Mob Psycho would probably be updated less and that would be a true tragedy.
