Murata Redraw Thread Here



Onepunch-man is a manga remastered by Yusuke Murata based on the webcomic Wanpanman by ONE. It drew a lot of us in with it's self aware and funny writing style and Murata's ability to out-animate your standard anime using still manga pages. It became popular enough that someone started translating the ONE originals. Because of that, the first thread is now cluttered with ONE spoilers, so now we have this thread to keep that thread cleaner.

To be clear, this is the thread only for ONE's version of OPM. If you're going to read this thread, you need to be aware that there will be spoliers, probably both marked and unmarked, for the stuff that the Murata version hasn't gotten to and may not get to for a while.

You can read it all here. The translator decided to start in the arc after the Seafolk arc Murata is currently in, so there will be a gap between where that one is and this one starts. You can also look at the raw originals from ONE's F2C. That Saitama with the ice pop came from there, and that picture changes from time to time.

Notable Characters and Organizations the Redraw Version hasn't Gotten to yet
Heroes and Officials


"The Earth is in Trouble Prophecy Emergency Counter Measures Leader" Shicchi

The man in charge of the Heroes Association. Is very concerned with a prophecy saying the Earth is in danger, but no one but him seems to care as much as he does.


Handsomely Masked Sweet Mask

A-Class Rank 1 Hero. Has no mercy for anyone, hero or villain, who gets in the way of justice. Squats on his rank so the unworthy can't try to move to S-Rank.


King

Considered the most powerful man on the planet, he will totally wreck your poo poo with infinite combos. In fighting games. He's a normal guy that's so high ranked and with such a strong reputation due to a string of flukes. In that, he's basically he opposite of Saitama.


Blizzard of Hell

B Class Hero 1. Commands a subgroup of B Heroes that exists to game the system by using her accomplishments to raise their own rank. Is very aware that she's not actually that great.

Villains


Lord Boros

An invading alien overlord. The first person in the series to make Saitama use his lethal "Serious Series" of attacks.


Garou

The "Human Monster." Doesn't like that heroes always prevail because they are popular, and doesn't mix well with other real monsters because he doesn't want the strong to abuse the weak.


Monster Association

The Heroes Association's Legion of Doom. It's made up of 17 monsters all above Disaster Level Demon that want to destroy the Heroes Association because monsters do that.

It's probably because Mob Psycho is something he does for Ura Sunday and OPM is something he does on the side for an F2C, so he's not beholden to someone professionally to do it.

ONE's currently on Chapter 90 which came out back on May 9th. Chapter 88 came out some time around early January. So by choosing to read the ONE originals, we've basically traded mostly regular updates with inconsistent amounts of content for consistent amounts of content that will come out eventually I guess.

His name is Darkshine, so its probably just a bad translation of Dark-chan or something

Basically this. The original line calls him "Kuro-chan" as a diminutive of his hero name "Chougoukin Kuro Hikari," or "Dark-chan" from "Super Alloy Darkshine." It's not necessarily inaccurate, just a moment of "Oops! Cultural connotations." Like gnome said, you can capture the same idea by calling him "Shiny" and maybe leaving a translator's note if it really irks you.

I didn't post these originally since we're not here for the art like with Murata's version, but if you ever want to see the original web comic for something like this, you can read it here. It's also where that picture of Saitama with the ice pop came from. I'll append it to the OP.

I have no idea how far the ONE translations have gotten so this might be a slight spoiler, but Darkshine got that way because he used to be a weak and skinny nerd who worked out so much that one day he got swole as gently caress but his skin turned shiny brown. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be a riff on the body oil that professional bodybuilders use along with their ridiculous tans, not on black people.

I'm sure it's that. When he's introduced with the other S-Rankers right before the alien attack, he's concerned that he might not be the shiniest person in the room.

His strength is playing video games. :haw:

Did you think I put that infinite combo thing in the op for nothing? He and Psychos are going to play Street Fighter 2, and she's going to lose so badly that the shame will make her leave the planet.

I love how everyone's acting like your typical shonen characters and Saitama's all 'Get off my lawn you drat kids! :bahgawd:'

:allears:

This is my favorite quality of his. Actually, this was my original idea to use for Blizzard's description in the OP before I thought it was too big.

I am fairly sure Asura Rhino was actually stronger than the Sea King. Unlike the Sea King, he actually noticed how strong Saitama was, well before it was too late. Unlike the Sea King, Genos couldn't lay a finger on Asura Rhino. Unlike the Sea King, Saitama wasn't late to fighting Asura Rhino, so we didn't get to see Asura Rhino in action against various other heroes first, but going off of what we did see, he was at least on par with the Sea King, and probably stronger.

Genos isn't a good measuring stick since he got upgrades between the two fights, and we don't really know what the did for him. I do agree that they're probably on par, with Rhino being stronger than Sea King dehydrated.

This may be my favorite fight ever. I mean, it's pretty great from fight perspective alone, but I love that Saitama would screaming inane moral platitudes, "The power of my (friendship/love/hope/family/justice) is greater than your (solitude/hatred/despair/loneliness/evil) so that's why I can win," right back at Garou as the edge in the fight fluctuated between them in a normal manga. I loving hate when fights in anime and manga do that, so for Garou to keep trying to do that while Saitama just shits all over it is unbelievably satisfying.

"My evil is the greatest power! Your justice is the real evi-" *smack* "What the gently caress does that even mean? You don't even know what you're doing here, do you?" Amazing.

Who is that at the end?

That depends on who he wants dead. Saitama's a scary dude, after all.

That wasn't made by ONE. That was made by this guy where you can see it with audio and two others.
