Season 2 is coming so Murata has been working extra hard these past few months.
Yeah I know, but I'm worried that season 2 won't even finish the Garou arc. It would be a major step down from season 1 if that's the case. I really hope Murata gets back on track with the Monster Association stuff soon because I really want the anime to finish it.
Unless the next arc is like 25 to 26 episodes and jumps well past the manga I don't foresee this happening.
It was too short 😭
Truth. I hope we see the full fight in the next chapter. Or it doesn't cut to another story.
Agreed. Imagine if it ended in one punch, biggest troll ever.
I am liking this turn of events as there was never really a character like Soryu in the web comic. All the people Saitama fight are usually villain stereotypes or have some crazy drive or reasoning behind their actions. That said this fight could also be considered a hint of what is to come though I won't say anymore. I do hope this doesn't undercut some similar future events.
I am 100% convinced that Soryu is that guy that the Hero Assosssiation wants to recruit post monster assossiation arc.

There's no way this guy was going to be anywhere close to our boy. He might surprise him with the void fist stuff, and he's a monster like Garou, but he's still one punch away from getting ruined.
Is this because ONE is helping write all the extra content?

Garou was last seen charging at Watchdog Man.
It's a Mysterious Being that's heading towards the Tournament now.
Garou is most likely getting his ass handed to him by Watchdog Man and there is a Dragon level monster heading to the tournament that trashed Genos.
That said this fight is pretty awesome.
this suiryu guy doesn't even exist on the webcomic, how any of you can expect anything out of him is just
You could also say that about the characters in the webcomic as well. Its not like any of them really have a chance against Saitama either. Like most Saitama fights its about the action itself and not who is going to win. Can't say I was let down in this chapter either as it was incredibly well done
For all the ish Suiryu was throwing at Saitama...it only took a half hearted punch to put dude in his place for a moment.
With that said...I think Suiryu is hiding some power most aren't expecting. I don't think Saitama told him if he got any stronger it wouldn't be fun anymore for nothing.
I'm thinking Garou would need a few transformations to approach Suiryu.

Saitama has no equal. That's the entire point of this series lol.
I'm guessing this match with Saitama goes another chapter or two before the monster shows up and that's if it doesn't cut back to the other S Class or Garou. My hope is that Saitama sits out most of the actual fight with the new Dragon Class and lets the other martial artists take it on.
Would be interesting to see someone like Suiryu taking on such a powerful monster when he shits on the heroes so much.

Suiryu is gonna one kick the monster in order to continue the "fight" with Saitama. By the time the monster gets there he's gonna be hype.
We haven't seen much of the monster but it did appear to be wearing a Gi after it smashed Genos so I'm betting its some kind of martial artist itself even if its a monster now. I'm guessing it might be a contrast to Suiryu who is powerful but still human but also an asshole. Maybe sees what could happen if he keeps on his ways type of thing.
I can see that. I need to go back and reread...idk why I don't remember much about the monster.
I must be the only pleb that enjoys Murata's filler lol. I really liked the added content of the S heroes, the designs of the tournament are superb (the goddamn announcer lol) and the humor is on point. The problem is the pacing but with the coming of the anime we will be getting chapters more often than not hopefully.
Can't wait to see
drawn by Murata.
Can't wait to see
hobo jesus
I actually think it will end with the coming Dragon Class monster fight and then cliff hanger to the actual Monster Association arc
Damn...Suiryu and a monster fight to end the season. I've watched season one over 10 times. Can see me watching season 2 even more if this were true.
I think that would be disappointing. If they just have a season of the like 5 chapter "King Arc" and then all filler, wouldn't people care less about season 3?
Everything is moving so slowly, though.
Unless season 2 is 26 episodes and covers well beyond what Murata's version has then that's the only way I can see them getting anything of the MA arc in there. We haven't even met any of the notable members of the MA outside of the Monster King and Psykos. Which sucks as the best monster

Well we never see it because Saitama stops him but that trump card attack of his was supposed to be able to wipe out a planet. Whether that is just scorch the surface to glass or blow it up like the Death Star we will never know. I'd actually say he's fairly low in DBZ tier considering guys like Freeza blow up planets without breaking a sweat.
I know, but is season 2 confirmed for this year? I was just wondering if having an incomplete arc season this year is better than just having a 26 season in 2018.
Has the success of the anime had any effect on increasing the priority of the manga? I feel like there hasn't been much progress since September.
Well there have been several lengthy chapters released but they've advanced the current arc which is basically a much larger more elaborate set up compared the webcomic version which basically jumped right into the MA arc.
Yeah he'd be between Saiyan and Freeza Saga because that Meteoric Burst is stronger than what we see a lot of people in that Era do.
That was a great chapter. I'm hoping for a double fake out and he actually is on Saitama level
Well looks like I was on the money about a lot of my predictions for how this tournament arc would turn out. Seems the MA is trying to turn powerful and fucked up humans into even more powerful and fucked up monsters. I'm guessing Saitama stands back and lets the other martial artists duke it out with Gouketsu

Finally got around to One Punch Man. I've been wary of manga for years, only recently got into it through Junji Ito, Parasyte, Blame, Biomega, and Berserk. This is the first non-horror/sci-fi action/dark fantasy manga I've read, and it's pretty great so far. The art is sublime, and I'm surprised by how well the humor lands. Currently on Volume 3
This was what actually sold me on the manga

I love comic action that imparts a sense of motion and energy through panel design and aesthetic and whatnot. Deadly Class and Copra are really great at that. So seeing how One Punch Man does it was very impressive

Can someone explain the whole ONE situation?
Does he not show his/her face?
Is it uncommon in manga to have another artist re-draw your art?
Do they actually work together and coordinate?
With the success of the anime, is ONE paid?

ONE is a webcomic artist, so I don't think the ONE opm is published in a magazine (Mob Psycho gets tankobons though)
Its not uncommon for a mangaka/artist to not show their face publicy.
Its more common for one person to do the story and one the art, but I don't think its super out there for a webcomic.
They do coordinate or at least talk.
He probably gets paid some?
That Murata interview was pretty interesting in how he wanted to keep going focusing on drawing the series in a more expressive and artistic manner like the Metal Knight entrance being almost a flip book style set of drawings of just him flying in and landing but he got a lot of blowback from people about how he wasn't progressing the plot or taking too long to draw "nothing". He even goes into how he wanted to do so much more with the Boros fight but never got the chance to because of the feedback from people and the fact he was sleeping like 3 hours a night and working 20 hours a day.
