Just blew through the current chapters, awesome series so far. Love how everyone builds themselves up to a one-panel immediate death. Also I can't be the only one who thinks Sonic is female, right?

onepixeljumpman posted:See a lot of "getting hit in the balls" jokes with girls, do you? Yeah but there was basically no reaction to that. Sonic just leaps backwards and is startled by Saitama. By the way I love that whole scene with Sonic leaping around. Flipping from page to page it's like watching an anime with how smoothly it plays.

I seriously love the artists style. Even in a still image you can see movement taking place... Don't know how to describe it better than that. Maybe it's a trick of lines or something, but I just swear it looks like you can see the air fluctuating around his lasers from the heat.

I'm loving how serious the artwork is for an otherwise comical plotline. You have to give the artist credit, he knows how to draw a goddamn punch.

ImpAtom posted:That is part of what makes it so hilarious though. It is this absolutely insanely beautifully drawn artwork of a bald dude who beats everyone in one punch. Speaking of which, I don't know what I'd like more at this point; him meeting someone who's also insanely powerful because they did some inane exercise like using a Wii fit game, or just continuing to one-shot basically everything in existence.

Unlucky7 posted:Saitama accidentally activated God Mode, and everyone else is either dumbfounded or upset that their rules are being stomped all over. This is the best breakdown I think. I'm really hoping for a DBZ style villain who shows up, claims he's a million times more powerful in his evolved form, and dies in one punch before he even gets the chance with Saitama too drat bored to stand around for ten minutes while he powers up.

AnonSpore posted:Yes, though not all at once. I'd like to imagine the opposite happening. Something horrible shows up, every S hero comes running out only to get stomped, and then a guy trying to stop a purse thief one-shots the beast merely because it happens to be blocking the path towards the purse thief.

I don't know what's more epic. Saitama biting the sword in half in an epic panel, or him looking like he was drawn by a five-year-old while karate chopping Speed to death.

Tried to post it, but Imgur is being a bitch. I just love where Saitama threatens Sonic by saying "I'll hit you". It's such a bland threat, but Sonic is freaking out because he knows how insane Saitama is. One slap and you're dead.

GoatLord posted:The first page of the chapter had a guy with Testicle written on his back. There was really nothing that could be surprising after that. I imagine a dramatic scene where Saitama will be forced to confess that he didn't just follow a strict exercise regiment. He also drank the recommended eight glasses of water a day. The SECOND I saw the horse guy all I could think of was the horse mask like they sell on Amazon. I clicked back here and was saddened to realize it was just a horse in a suit. Then I read this... Prison Warden posted:It's just a horse in a suit. ...and I accepted that as a good thing.

I fully expect this guy to show up and announce (with a full head of hair) that he trained exactly as Saitama did everyday... Except for only two years and eleven months. Thereby making him no match for Saitama who endured that extra month.

Gyges posted:Can't do that with a full head of hair since Saitama's started falling out at the begining. But if he turned on the AC or skipped breakfast/didn't eat a bannana every day, well that's a different story. The whole balding thing actually worries me that Saitama may have been running past a nuclear power plant everyday, and his strength will be explained as mutation from radiation.

Holy gently caress what amazing art and coloring. I need to stop questioning why it seems like chapters come so slowly. I can't read a word of this, but holy hell is this awesome. Loving that Saitama basically still destroyed the city... but less so. Too bad that giant robot dude will probably get credit for it.

DrSunshine posted:Realistically speaking if he really had shattered it that close to impact, the chunks wouldn't have scattered far enough to avoid doing more or less the same damage that it would have done had it been completely solid. It's like the difference between a rock hitting you in the gut, or an equal mass of gravel hitting you in the gut in roughly the same area. Maybe he'd slowed its momentum down to nothing with the force of the impact. Like a baseball being hit by a bat, except in this case more like a baseball being shot by a bullet.

The chapter, especially the animated bit at the end, was incredible. This comic works so well in color, I almost wish he had a dedicated colorist like in American comics.

I just love how this whole chapter strived so hard to look so impressive, and then on the last page Saitama is basically a cartoon character. Just beautiful. Also loving the building being pushed down into the ground. That's an impressive touch.

Well luckily for you other people do, and they've made gifs out of all of them. There's also some pretty amazing AMVs... Amazing if you consider this is a comic, not an anime, and yet you'd swear you were watching one.

AgentHaiTo posted:You know, in one of the movie forum threads, someone was posting how it seems like all superheroes do three point landing/launches. I really like how Saitama just did a simple jump and land on two feet without any fancy hand gestures. If you look it looks like he just landed on his toes fairly softly and then set down his heals. You'd think with it being Saitama that he'd crack the road in half or something, but no. Somehow he just lands there, absolutely confident that everything's find despite the fact that he just killed a million people saving a billion people.

Swillkitsch posted: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. It's not just that he's chill for me. It's that through this whole issue everything was drawn so drat well, and then on the very last page Saitama is a goddamn cartoon. I love how he's drawn in contradiction to everything else.

It makes absolute sense that when it comes to Saitama "hearing one of his yell would do no good to the quietness". Seriously I'm not sure the translator speaks either Japanese or English. It's like they used Google Translate and didn't even try to correct the glaring mistakes.

I love that Saitama can barely recall punching a fifty-foot-tall sea monster to death. It's nice that something like that is so stupidly mundane to him that he doesn't even need to think about it.
