Damn son, dat cliffhanger. I mean, I know how it goes, but still... they really nailed Sea King's menace. Dude is scarier than anybody with heart shaped nipples has any right to be.

Yep. More credit to MadHouse, I think they even went farther than Murata is portraying the Sea King as a terrifying foe. His encounter with Lightning Max was awesome.
Ya, that was amazing.

That's what I sensed from him today after the other C heroes told it was hopeless, but then he goes to help anyway.
Can't wait to see what License-less Rider achieves in the anime.

I'm glad they're willing to have characters like him just be completely ridiculous action figures, lol. Translates perfectly.

License less Rider is the best character and you won't convince me otherwise.
He's Yamcha. Except he knows he's Yamcha but still tries his best no matter what.

He's not, really. He's not a jobber because nobody ever hyped him up as a badass, not even himself. He's just a regular guy trying his damnedest to be a hero, even when he knows he's categorically outclassed.
Definitely the best person on the show, even if he's not necessarily the most interesting character.

License Less Rider is the epitome of Saitama's attitude and beliefs of what makes a hero. Except he doesn't have Saitama's training / power level.

Oh man, that cliffhanger. Mumen Rider was hilarious all episode, was the prisoner hero a parody of JoJo btw?

Good episode but it felt...rushed? I dunno. I remember the manga drawing out Pru-Pru and the Sea King's fight and there being more involvement with the shelter, heroes and Sea King. Building up the citizens reactions and such about the heroes hiding with them and standing up for them then getting decimated. Oh well. Next week should be amazing.

Nice easter egg tossed in from Murata/ONE's oneshot, Gokiburi Buster:
I like him. He's just a regular Joe who probably has more heart than any other hero. He's one of the few legitimately good people o the show.

I've shown the anime to my non-anime watching friends and they all think it's frigging hilarious. It's just a shame the show hasn't gained a wider traction with the non-anime audience who probably don't even give it a chance.

Dude has a heart of gold and never giving up. He's the underdog we all root for.
I know that, but at least everyone else is able to do something

Dub might do the trick.
I was more reminded of Masayoshi Hazama from Samurai Flamenco, but if he was dropped into OPM, and the story didn't revolved around him.
Think about it. Masayoshi always wanted to be a superhero, and in the OPM universe it is an actual occupation. He would totally have gone for it. They both have a strong sense of justice and they still go into hopeless situations because of that. Hell, they both use bicycles and even follow the red lights, even in an emergency.

DTL is Dedication Through Light, a poster well known for his love of dudes loving dudes.
Frankly I am amazed he has gone so long without getting tagged.

DTL is short for Dedication Through Light, who is a somewhat famous/infamous poster in (at least) the Manga-Gaf thread.
As a tradeoff, he has been banned on multiple occasions

Lol, it makes even less sense when you consider the fact that there's no reason to abide by Traffic laws in an evacuated city

he already has no license, he should give no fucks about the rules

He embodies the spirit of a hero in the same way that firefighters and paramedics do. They're just regular people who put themselves in dangerous situations because they want to help people.
Besides, his power is riding his bicycle of justice. Are you saying that's not something?

I wouldn't mind many of these B-heroes if they didn't take the credit from Saitama.
It's bad enough nobody takes him seriously, but stealing his credit is worst.
All he wants is a fangirl group.

My biggest issue is that, outside a few scenes, this ep didn't do comedy very well (stopping at a stoplight in a deserted city when Sea King is about to kill an entire stadium felt really off to me), and throwing a "regular guy" into the mix just makes it worse.
Spoilers for next episode
Doesn't he intentionally shit on himself after the Seaking is done
He has to obey the traffic laws. He's a hero for justice. Do you honestly think his sense of justice would allow him to disobey the law? If he ran that red light then he'd be on a slippery slope of where his sense of justice lies. How can a man truly have a sense of justice if he can't even obey the simplest of traffic laws. If he ran that red light it would eat at his very soul forever.
Correct
There's only 12 episodes.
That is until there is a season two teaser at the end of episode 12 and a second season comes in 5 months.

PLEASE GOD

ugh cliffhanger. like i already know how its gonna end, but damn i just want know what happens next
Hope it does well enough to get a second season. :\
There's not enough source material (I mean there is if they're using One's version which they could, but I don't think they want to pass Murata's manga).
Not enough material in the redraw
There's enough if they use the webcomic, but I doubt they will
Woah woah. Mumen Rider is awesome.

Thousands of people have already died in this show for the sake of comedy and spectacle.
Are the asshole Tank Top brothers in the last episode are more heroic than Mumen Rider simply because they are stronger and fight better? Him being a regular guy makes him standout in a sea of super human heroes. We get the impression that he climbed the ranks slowly by retrieving balloons stuck in trees and helping old ladies cross the street. Not by chasing big bounties and crushing rookies. But through persistence and determination and the desire to help anyone with any task. Things that none of these glory hogs would even waste their breath on.

I think there's more than enough material for 12 more episodes using the non-printed version of Murata's adaptation, with its abundance of side stories, bonus chapters and the current filler arc.
Edit: Wait wait, did someone call Licenseless a dumb ass hero?

This episode was such a damn tease
So many great moments though. Sonic was on POINT, DSK handing out punishment like candy, a great "Time to get serious" look from Saitama. Mercy.
Next episode is going to be nuts, I can feel it.

It's at its best when Genos is at his side doing the Ninja run.
