Could you maybe hold off on that for a month? There's the possibility Flashy Flash has some interaction with Empty Void, or that there's more to the Heavenly Ninja Party.

I'd prefer it if we had a CRT for this arc with new keys for Sonic, Flashy and a new profile for Empty Void
Alright, fair enough then I'll hold off on it for now.
 
Cool chapter. Anything that makes flashy flash shine is a good from me.

Sonic fans can cope all they want.
 
No useable Platinum S statement
Well, that sucks above dragon ninja party incoming
It's especially frustrating, because the manga was doing so well in the beginning of the MA arc when it came to adopting the webcomic and expanding on it while making sure to keep it serious. Like Flash vs Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame? It was a completely awesome fight that not only expanded the lore of the ninja village but also gave Flash another chance to show his stuff while also making the interactions seem natural. THAT was really a fight that kept me on the edge of my seat and desperate for the next chapter to come out.

Same goes for most of the battles between the MA cadres and S-class heroes. I enjoyed the battle with Child Emperor vs Phoenix Man, all versions of the fight, because it gave Child Emperor some growth and also expanded on Phoenix Man's abilities. Garou's fight with Darkshine was excellent and showed Garou as despair incarnate while picking apart Darkshine's ideals.

Then when everybody came up to the surface, that's where it all started to fall apart, where comedy started to overtake seriousness, characterization was tossed aside, random monsters appeared out of nowhere, and God took over the plot when it should've just focused on Garou. Now, we got characters like Garou, Sonic and Sweet Mask to an extent being treated as jokes or having their big moments taken away. Really bums a guy out.
I hold One as the only responsible for Sweet Mask's downfall, he had such a MASSIVE L when compared to the WC that I find it impossible that he didn't approved in order to change the character arc, unless he actually saw the filth Murata did to him and thought "oh hey, he was supposed to have a moment to prove why his arrogant behavior isn't just for show, but you made him a clown ? Eh, whatever", which would make me worry for OPM, cuz while Murata has god tier art...same can't be said for his plots

I’mma comment on this later, cause thats quite honestly 🧢
 
so who is pure evil in one punch man?
Honorable Mention: Psykos

People ignore the fact that she tortured and experimented on dozens of innocent human civilians for her monster king experiments because she's hot, but at this point she's still quite evil. Obviously it would be terrible for everyone except God if Tsukuyomi dissected her third eye ability out of her, but it would have been karmic justice since she did similar crap to people who deserved it less

Unfortunately the manga probably won't address this
 
Fuhrer Ugly and Royal Ripper and the most iconic pure evil villains

Pureblood and Face Ripper are a cut below them on the evil totem pole but still pretty unadulteratedly terrible

Psykos has some sympathetic and tragic elements to her evil, which waters it down a bit but I think she's an honorable mention because she combines extreme intelligence with extreme depravity. Like CS Lewis says: "A cow cannot be very good or very bad; a child better and worse still; an ordinary man, still more so; a man of genius, still more so". The more capable you are of understanding what you're doing is wrong, the worse it is that you chose to do it.

Boros is also up here for decades of planetary genocide, but he's lower than Psykos because of his relationship with his crew and winning smile

Then HERE be thar 60 percent o' monsters who kill for the fun of it

I mean she technically was brainwashed by God so I don't think she really counts
 
Psykos is not pure evil since she has motivations aside from doing that stuff for the sake of it.

does her motivations are really good?a pure evil character can have motivations that go along side their own pure evil.
think it like syndrome from incredibles,he had the motivations of a world without super heroes,and he is still pure evil

someone that has motivation can get his/her principles easily broken
 
when you stop believing in something you are fighting for, usually you’ll stop fighting


pure evil characters does not have that weakness
 
Broken in what sense?yes their motivations can be Broken,but they ultimetly are bad motivations and not good ones
when they get contradicted, in a moment of reflection. This is a human “weakness”, sense of morality.



but if you’re psycho, this will not bother you. You dont have to believe in anything to kill, nothing orders you, no religion, no revenge, no love, you dont have any needs, but the pleasure for the most chaotic energy.
 
in other words, pure evil characters does not try to explain their actions or their point of view, they know they are bad to others and they are just like that.

the chaos is their motivation, and this cannot be extinguished. 🗿🍷

And I don't know if you can call her vision brainwashing, she just saw some crazy stuff that made her decide that humans needed to be genocided. My take on that is she was already on the path to evil before she saw anything to do with god and he just helped her along, hence all the meetings with secret cults and plans to lord over humanity

OPM is one of the few series where most of the villains could reasonably be categorized as pure evil since they just want to shed blood. What makes Psykos interesting is that she's a human being and not a monster, so she has interests and desires outside of murder and kicking puppies. So unlike many of the monsters, she's not pure evil. I'd argue she's the worst kind of evil though, the cold and slow kind that plans things out years in advance and goes about its business without a lick of remorse

I mean its a weird situation she and Fubuki were definitely developing some real concerning superiority complexes but I believe she would have just grown out of it like Fubuki-

Whatever she saw in the future made her go insane and convinced her that humanity needed to be genocided.

Yeah, I say if you can be persuaded into genocide you're evil-adjacent if not outright evil

Homeless would be another example of this
