I only follow OPM casually but I felt like it was kinda weird how the webcomic never brought in threats greater than Boros. I guess Murata's pass is going to change that.

Turns out God is the Idea of Evil and this OPM run is just a decade-long buildup to Murata announcing he's taking over for Miura.

i guess he's decided that the throwaway power suit mercs are now recurring characters.

I really don't think this story needs more characters, especially since the good guys never die. and assuming the plot continues to expand on the webcomic, we have a dump truck full of even more new characters coming in the next arc or two.

I wonder how many years we're out from saitama vs tatsumaki. people running into his unfathomable strength and being forced to reevaluate their outlook on life is easily the best facet of OPM.

you could axe 90% of the side characters and all the horniness and I'm pretty sure it'd be an improvement

bees x1000

I wouldn't cut any of the villains except for that cringy bondage ladymonster. They show up and are usually quickly defeated, so they don't add to the bloat.

As for good/neutral characters, off the top of my head I like:

saitama
genos
king
mumen rider
zombieman
silverfang
metal bat
jackolantern panic
tatsumaki
watchdog man
garou
the new eyeball monster
....

it goes on. OPM has a lot of likeable characters. but do we really need flashy flash when we've already got sonic? drive knight and metal knight and child emperor all filling a similar space? does there have to be an entire team of tanktops? did silverfang need a brother? did we need the tournament arc? etc..

outside of PPP, none of this is bad in a vacuum. there's simply too much, IMO

SMH dismissing fighting spirit like that. Dude straight up would've killed Garou but he cares about his little sister too much.

OPM can still be pretty good when they move the story forward, even if we only got about 30 seconds of a battle here

I really hate the gay joke part of Puri Puri because divorced from that he's a really cute idea.

the rapist part is pretty icky too

I assume that's what they meant about the gay joke part.

PPP being gay isn't the problem, it's the "gay prison rapist" thing that's Bad.

If you erased 'prison rapist', would PPP be good representation as the token gay character? This is an honest question - I don't consider myself educated enough in this sphere to make a judgement call.

bees x1000

But take out the rape - is PPP good representation divested of that? That's what I'm wondering.

bees x1000
Jun 11, 2020

OK, my thoughts were along these lines too.

Let's go further - take out the 'prisoner' part - now he's just a super powered turbo flamboyant naked guy. Just like Pig God and Watchdog Man, he has no backstory. Is he good representation?

Or, how many redraws does it take to make the dude inoffensive?

Saitama is going to casually mention meeting Blast during his tatsumaki fight, isn’t he


or he’ll completely forget him, probly that

I very much hope that heroes like King and Watchdog Man are never explained because yes, it would ruin the gag.

bees x1000
Jun 11, 2020

Yeah and that's a good gag, just like Saitama becoming a god just through his workout routine. Taking it one step further by saying Saitama is actually Goku or King has illusion powers is where the fun stops.

Also I would appreciate it if Murata would do redrawn panels in red ink or something because I can never remember what's supposed to be different

Even if we accept that King isn't actually the strongest hero, him just standing there neutralized Evil Natural Water, allowed Zombieman to take down Homeless Emperor and PPP to rescue Genos and Tasumaki. Kind of a big deal.
