Really hoping that this release sticks to the recent tradition, and at least a couple more chapters are to follow within the next 24 hours.

I know this probably isn't the case since there is still so much that still needs to happen in this story, but this chapter feels very "end-game-ish" A seemingly all-out attack by either the Organization or by Metal Knight. Genos potentially reaching his max strength. Nobody left to repair Genos when he's broken...

yeah Genos completing his goal and finding a new purpose in life would be a good end to his plotline. could start a school for the orphans that are going to come from multiple cities being by destroyed

I think the only thing that needs to come full circle is that prophecy the seer made before choking on her whether's original.

The prophecy relates to Saitama finally snapping over not getting his hero named changed.

I think we are absolutely heading into endgame, but this confrontation is only like the first act of it. Like maybe a machine uprising is merely one ingredient to the prophecy and we still got psychic uprising and maybe Sweet Mask becoming like a king of monsters, plus all the cyborgs (unless the cyborgs were turned into AIs and that's why we don't see any NEO Heroes in those pages)

ONE can probably neatly tie together the Neo Heroes, the Organization, Metal Knight etc, together based on what's been set up so far. But the Martial Artists, the Sui-Siblings and now the tease of Garo's reintroduction, demand a more complete arc.

Agreed, it seems pretty likely that everything with Neo heroes is about war between metal knight and the Organization. But there a lot of things still to wrap up, maybe most importantly everything going on with God, Psychos, and the intro of Blast and his whole deal.

an invasion of robots and cyborgs can't possibly succeed while saitama is around, so clearly whoever is behind this doesn't know about him. metal knight is one of the few people who actually does. also, the story about how metal knight was behind everything came from the incredibly suspicious drive knight.

Drive Knight is absolutely the most suspicious person and trying to set up Bofoy who probably stands as a credible opposition to the robot faction. Odds are they want to use Genos to try and sound out Bofoy's true defenses before sending in their own machine Gods and best case Genos does their dirty work for them.

I would say that webcomic Blast doesn't need much exposition, but it would be nice if he showed up in the present, with some kind of jokey acknowledgement on whether or not he is stronger than Saitama. Manga Blast though...

Part of me would love a twist of a truly benevolent Organization that only recognizes Metal Knight as the greatest threat to humanity, and will therefore do any unscrupulous thing to collect battle data and get strong enough to resist him. But I doubt that theory could hold up given everything we know.

i figure that this might be a legitimate ai uprising, though possibly with a non-ai leader. in that case, they would see the world in terms of technology and weapons. this would make bofoy, the #1 weapons developer in the world, the #1 threat to eliminate. fortunately for them, he's a shady prick so it isn't hard turning people against him. it is still unclear if they are also running neo-heroes, but i suspect that if they are it will be revealed within the next few chapters.

I know the redraw has pretty much lined up most of the parts to be the same as the webcomic now, but it still feels emotionally different. I don't think kings part is going to hit as hard. There was a feeling of hopelessness in the webcomic that I'm not feeling here. King came during the all is lost moment to prove himself, but all doesn't feel lost yet here if that makes sense. I think it was because all the heroes on the surface were broken and helpless and we got some beats of the villains gloating over them. The emotional beats feel a little rushed here Anyone else feel the same?

The emotional beats feel a little rushed here Where I disagree is that the redraw has only very superficially lined things up the same. Maybe roughly the same people are fighting against each other now, but so many surrounding things have changed that the dynamic is very different. But yeah, the redraw is a much less engaging story.

The redraw has its merits but it does feel like ONE's putting in more and more stuff he had to leave out in the webcomic version of events, and coming up with new stuff besides, because he wants Murata to draw more kickass stuff. Unfortunately it does mean deflating some tension and drawing out the pacing. When the comic hits best when it's throwing emotional one punches, that hurts. I think ONE, being a very rough artist who would rather have someone doing art for him, when limited to having to do the artwork himself is more willing to pare things down to only what he absolutely needs to tell the story he wants to tell. Working with Murata, he doesn't have to restrain himself and some of those darlings he killed get to come back in full force, for better or worse. And heaven help us if either of them decide they changed their mind about something, either a plot detail or an art detail, and then they gotta go back and fix things.

I agree that some of the highest, highs of the webcomic haven't been quite as impactful in the manga, but overall I do think the manga tells a more engaging story. There are definitely parts of the cadre battle that felt a bit tedious to me in the webcomic, and so far I've been really enjoying every moment of it in the manga. Where there are moments we can make direct comparisons between the two, I can't tell if the manga fails to deliver the same goods, or if it just has everything to do with my expectations.

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 Fellis fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Jul 10, 2021 |
