STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

[Dienomite22]

The fact that Saitama is going full power against Garou is another indicator. It might not end this arc but it could end in the one after.

If the deepl translation is accurate that is

 

[Therefir]

We still don't know who the fist that turned against god is

It's Saitama.

why the OPM universe is so full of monsters

God's influence and contamination.

But fr, anyone got an idea why OPM is ending so early?

AFAIK, it's doing really well sales wise. It's still highly popular and talked about. There's been a lot of positive reaction from what I've seen, more than the negative honestly.

Eh, the sales have hit an all-time low.

And I have checked some Japanese forums, they don't like the way the manga is going and are very vocal about it.

 

[SuperStar]

Now I need new peak fiction to read

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I guess the series ending at the MA arc also explains the lack of Fubuki vs Psykos. As that fight was the foreshadowing to GOD in the webcomic. And here, GOD is already taking center stage

 

[Dienomite22]

the webcomic

The people who hate are the more vocal about stuff.

look at fairy tail, nothing but vocal hate yet the series keeps going without end.

That's odd. Because I remember someone posting about manga sales not long ago and OPM was in top ten.

Though I don't look through the Japanese side of the fandom that much so what would I know.

that only works if the mangaka doesn't care. If ONE is bored of OPM and is just abandoning it due to that and hate and low sales, then that's how it's going

 

[Dienomite22]

apparently smurf who does have access to accurate translators says what Murata says is indeed that true in that the manga is ending soon.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I kinda agree. I've seen many more manga get much more vocal hate than OPM does, yet they're still going.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

apparently smurf who does have access to accurate translators says what Murata says is indeed that true in that the manga is ending soon.

I did see him rant about the manga truly ending or something. Guess he wasn't tripping after all

 

[Quangotjokes]

Opm not ending son quick spreading propaganda lol

 

[Ovrhide]

Ok. So I’m really intrigued. But not in a positive note.

I’ve been positive in these last couple chapters because I wanted to see what this would have led to in later arcs.

This means Blast is about to do some stuff soon. And so are his teammates.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Welp. RIP future arcs.

They're literally just talking about the fight ending, not the series. Stop freaking out, they wouldn't announce such a big development over a casual conversation.

 

[Apeironaxim]

By the way if the series actually is ending, then that means it is 100% possible for Genos to stay dead

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

INB4 they decide to continue it with a sequel manga lmao

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Eh, the sales have hit an all-time low.

You deliberately cut the most recent volumes where its spiked up again.

 

[Tinodesu]

Top Ten is not actually that great

They literally said series.

Give us the accurate translation

 

[Ovrhide]

Hopefully.

 

[Ovrhide]

Give us the accurate translation

Given the users current record, it seems is best to bet against what they say.

 

[KingogKings777]

Bad translation. Here is what it said:

 

[TimmyTurnero]

Shouldn't it just be 27 punches instead of adding the first 9?

It punched 9 times and then punched 27 in the next panel? Or am i missing something

 

[Dienomite22]

From someone under smurfs twitter replies. Apparently two native Japanese speakers and one of the guys who translates the chapters for us (Graywords).

 

[Ovrhide]

Yep. I checked with Fanverse’s translator MShadows and even he says that it says “the series is nearing its end”

 

[Hizack123]

I did see him rant about the manga truly ending or something. Guess he wasn't tripping after all

And i actually believe him

We should never abandon Table talking.

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Man I was really looking forward to the Psychic Sisters Arc

 

[Dienomite22]

And i actually believe him

We should never abandon Table talking.

It would've ended regardless if it's actually ending.

 

[Ovrhide]

Man I was really looking forward to the Psychic Sisters Arc

They likely will get a fight before the arc ends.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

You can read it as "A conclusion" rather than "the ending"

 

[TimmyTurnero]

Read the chapter and multi galaxy level garou and saitama?

 

[Dienomite22]

You can read it as "A conclusion" rather than "the ending"

So the series is coming to a conclusion rather than an ending

 

[Hizack123]

It would've ended regardless if it's actually ending.

in my humble opinion from the start trade the original plot for "hey look at this flashy battle and ever increasing destruction!" Is a bad idea

 

[Ovrhide]

So the series is coming to a conclusion rather than an ending

Same thing. User is coping.

 

[Therefir]

You deliberately cut the most recent volumes where its spiked up again.

Wha- the latest volume is the volume 26.

And it sold 250,000 copies 12 days ago.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

this is really good, i've seen OPM rising up in the rankings recently on sales.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

OPM is not at an "All Time Low" in sales.

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

A hiatus does sound more plausible than an ending, there are so many Webcomic stories to adapt and loose plot threads.

 

[Ovrhide]

Wha- the latest volume is the volume 26.

Pretty much. No spike what so ever.
