STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Lore wise, not really.
Saitama thinks Sonic and Flash are on the same level (because of their actions).
Flash is like "same level?" "what were you looking at?(while fighting against Garou and PS)"
Saitama then responds to it saying "about how Flash didn't sink but Sonic did
He then believes Saitama's misunderstanding comes from "Saitama beat Garou who beat PS who beat (he was captured off guard d:) Flash" and "Saitama beat Sonic" etc.

Also Hellfire and Gate wind warns the other ninjas that Flash is way too fast, faster than they think.


1. This Flash seems arrogant like chapter 90-160. It might be a little different (at least dialogues)
5. There were never an army though, narrator just explained his plan.

Also it's quitely that we might not even see Void absorbing Garou, considering How Blast didn't comment about Saitama.

Tbh, Garou became too involved in the story by that point. I also didn't like how Void resembled him so much in certain scenes.

1. True.
2. My bad; I forgot. That still seems a little wonky to keep in, since God should've already caught on to that happening and shutting it down. After all, they established Garou as having the same "darkness", and yet God was willing to turn dude into salt after he disobeyed him.

He literally knew the 2nd time after he seen him defeat cosmic garou and the first time they implied he knew because blast took saitama along with him to fight empty void which wouldn’t make sense as he wouldn’t bring a weakling A class to do something like that

He did know the second time; he talked with Stitch and reaffirmed that Saitama wasn't an immediate threat (while showing the moment the Gamma Ray Burst hit Saitama.)

Not literally AP. We've had interdimensional slashes, speed increases and so forth. And nobody in the coming arcs was going to match that unless they also got on the level of Blast and Void. Compared to the webcomic!

Nobody in the arc was going to match blast tiers in general blast is far away above even the #2 hero my guy your just spouting random nonsense

That's exactly my point! If you want to keep the hype you would want to save the best for last. The fact we had Blast fighting took away from the hype of the lesser upcoming fights. And they know it!
 
Actually... something interesting. On the second page, after Blast blitzes Flashly Flash, the latter asks "What happened to the battle with your wife?"

The first page has Blast saying "we met underground" to Stitch.

That wasn’t the best for last the best for last is saitama vs GOD lol which will inevitably happen near the end of the manga

The best for last within the current arcs, not the whole series. If Blast stuff comes before Neo Heroes stuff it takes away from the Neo Heroes stuff, it is simple logic. It isn't anything groundbreaking or novel. It's not this weird opinion to hold, it's actually common sense.
 
MrTayman616 said:
LMAO i'm laughing. Flash talks about God, not "wife".
Click to expand...
LOL Welp, the translator I used is losing -100 points. Well, it was funny and almost made this chapter A LOT more interesting (even if it was confusing), so I guess it can take the points back.
 
I'll just take the hint and ignore Darkphantom from here on out. He's really just out to insult people he can't understand or agree with. I tried my best to reason with him, but he antagonizes me every step of the way.

I mean nobody shares your point of view they didn’t re draw because the feats were to impressive it’s basically the opposite as void was built up to be a ninja master and spammed 1 single technique like that’s all he can do and you haven’t even made 1 coherent point at all everything your saying is just random stuff not even related like you quite literally don’t even understand what your even complaining about it’s like your just complaining to complain
 
I won't let this smearing slide. It's a pessimistic opinion I hold I'll admit. I don't know the precise reason why these redraws are taking place, but from a story perspective what I've said made sense and it is something I have seen many times online before. There are people that don't like how prevalent Blast and God stuff has become and that it was taking away from the current arcs. Which is why they might be going in a different direction and toning it down to be more faithful to the webcomic. There is no way anyone can deny that what we have seen is way out of the league of anything the Neo Heroes can do unless their arc is also infested with God.

It could also be as likely that we're going to get a boost and a redraw that makes Empty Void superior to all his previous iterations. It's just that him having a more varied kit and a less impressive one are also not mutually exclusive.

My point originated much like many I had made in the past from a writing perspective and not a purely powerscaling one.
 
MrTayman616 said:
What did you say though?
Click to expand...
In other words, that the order of the story would make more sense if they reserved the bigger events featuring wilder feats for later rather than sooner. So as to prevent them from overshadowing what is going on with the lesser hero organizations we've already established.

Saving the Blast (including Void) stuff for later in the story would've given these arcs room to leave a stronger impression. Instead we've been seeing God injected everywhere and with the introduction of a potential multiverse everything in-verse felt less significant as a result.

It's a common issue with multiverses in general. Their concept is often responsible for writing degradation and lessened stakes. Etc.
 
I know a lot of you would prefer if we just got upgrades up the wazoo as soon as possible, but I am not really bothered as much if we don't. Maybe it's my webcomic preference talking, but that's just how I feel about it.
 
the only thing I want to see is empty void actually look and act like someone who has the power of an ancient cosmic reality shaping being

Literally all void did despite being the ninja master and has endless ninjutsu was spam the same attack over and over again the dimension blade it’s like he couldn’t do anything but punch kicks and dimension blade

Did they just write themselves into a dead end and realize they couldn't keep this powercreep going with the future webcomic arcs so they're moving Void for later??? This is downright embarrassing. They really don't know what they're doing. What a joke.

Nothing about those chapters is a power creep or an actual upgrade except for the infinite bubbles stuff, which nobody really scales besides their cosmology. You are a joke
 
Even Phoenks has said that the crazy 4-A feat they introduced came too soon. The recent feats have rendered a lot of the cast and events meaningless or feeling out of place. And as a writer that's something you want to try and keep down to a minimum. But you know, it might be too little too late.

Wrong. God scales to it and the implied speed upgrade was already enough to render everyone except Saitama and maybe Blast hopeless. God was very strongly alleged to be a higher dimensional being capable of affecting their whole cosmology in a major way.

came to soon? My guy you do realize what the manga is called it’s not called the s class heroes it’s called the one punch man the entire cast are supposed to be insignificant like the difference between just blast and the #2 hero is insane

The monster garou vs saitama fight alone is above and makes every hero not named blast insignificant
