Huh. That does make the pill easier to swallow and give Flash some extra development on that pride of his. It'd still be better if Sonic got some chance to shine in the next chapter, assuming that all of the Heavenly Ninja Party isn't dead already.
Oh yeah, I would have liked to see the Serious Side Hops or at least a variant of it that's actually useful for Sonic lol
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.
Absolutely, it really makese me wonder why the manga has changed direction like this when the webcomic is not only kept its brutal, serious side but arguably gotten scarier and more intense in that respect with stuff like the death of Kuseno, Genos's rage and the risk of cyberization.
Yes, this! It just feels odd that the webcomic is keeping its serious tone but the manga isn't. Like there was some sort of change midway through, whether it's because Murata took over some creative control or ONE just couldn't bother to implement his own ideas, but ONE should've definitely been kept in charge of the storyboard for the manga. Now, it's starting to feel like a different story. There're still some serious parts in the manga, but for me, they keep getting overshadowed by the less serious moments that are becoming more common.
ONE does everything for the Webcomic. For the manga he'll plot outlines and approve or disapprove of Murata's art, but Murata said he fills in the blanks in that outline and is free to add his own ideas.
Seems like the most likely explanation. It's still a big disappointment, though. Don't want to diss on Murata, but I wish he'd try to keep a bit more of the serious spirit from the webcomic if this explanation is true.
I mean aside from Metal Bat teaming up with Garou I don't agree with this at all.
I figure much of it is Murata having more of a say on characterization, but I didn't want to say that out loud since I know many people get upset at the notion that Murata is responsible for changes in the manga's plot (as opposed to ONE directing him to portray things in gentler fashion). I wasn't sure of this theory until the webcomic started up again after its hiatus, stayed on theme while still also incorporating manga elements like Brave Giant, Bristle Armor and Suiryu
Or ONE is aware that both continuities are different and writes accordingly? If he started to add manga characterization and plot points all of a sudden it wouldn't make sense in the WC.
Yea, the Metal Bat & Garou team-up was the one I was really focused on specifically. The other fights were indeed very serious and gave a very malevolent tone. Indeed, the one area I'd argue where the manga actually outdid the webcomic in terms of seriousness and cruelty was Fuhrer Ugly. That guy was ******* TERRIFYING when he got to the surface. He really sold himself as a threat and was able to take down a lot of the S-class heroes.
I was open to that possiblity earlier on but the more manga-exclusive elements ONE inserts into the webcomic, the more I doubt that he intends for them to be fundamentally different narratives. I mentioned Brave Giant and Bristle Armor as things ONE has grafted into the webcomic since returning from the hiatus to show that he's been putting in work to have webcomic and manga character arcs and powerlevels intersect.
Safe Centipede lol, that's a good one. The sense of danger in the manga really dropped with his introduction so that's pretty funny and accurate slander
Child Emperor building Brave Giant and PPP gaining his Bristle Armor isn't at all comparable to the complete narrative changes during the MA arc, if you don't notice how fundamentally different they are then you are up for a really proper and long re-read of both.
Most of the complete narrative changes you're referring to in the manga had been set up 4-6 years before the tonal change I'm talking about here, Orochi was introduced when, 2016? He was introduced so Tatsumaki taking damage would be plausible and the MA raid arc must have been around that time too, meaning the structure of the MA and the MA raid would have already been fundamentally different by then
yeah,it cannot be THIS SHORT
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.
Alright, fair enough then I'll hold off on it for now.
does sonic have fans?
Well, that sucks
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
Yeah I know it was wrong lol
the verse is tier 7 bruh
Bodies Base Boros who is 8-A fodder in this wiki
