I for one don't care for the canon, this series is still One's series, the difference being that web series is limited by his drawing capabilities and more gag orientated and the one with Murata has ascended godly art and is more action orientated.
Both are good. If people could stop picking that thing or this thing to compare between them, they could enjoy it more.
Onepunch-Man (redrawn version)

I know that the shonen jump way of ending chapters on a high note and big pannels, or then after the big panel a small joke that either underlines or subverts the tone of the page gets repetitive, but this feels like the chapter just kinda ends.
! Regular shonen jump series would have ended on the beam struggle
maybe in the panel of psychos generating glasses on her giant orochi meat faces
more serious fare, or arcs would end on… Damn I forgot's Blizzard's name, Fubuki?, on her fear of the power on the surface with some of the cadres surfacing
And a comedy series, or early one punch man would have ended on the belt joke, granted it wasn't that funny
But going to the Flashy flash face's full panel, without reaction or contradiction of that joke feels off.
! And I went into this tangent because I feel like it is not the first time that it happened.OPM is a seinen.

This chapter was amazing

Well..
I had frown on my face for most time. Sure its super cool fight but compared to One version.. they made those fights drawn out and even with big scope of this fight it still feels like less than future fights from this arc from ONEs version.
-
You know what? I don't care anymore. I don't care how off the rails this is going. I'm having a huge amount of fun reading every single chapter and i'm always genuinely hyped for the next one. That's what counts to me in the end.
And the last two pages… the epic trio, oh my god, comedy gold!There's one thing that i'm asking my self though... why isn't Blast helping? I mean, i don't want to spoil, but in the webcomic it made sense why Blast wasn't there, but here in the manga a huge chunk of Earth got sliced off! Characters are literally saying that this looks like the end of the world! How is it possible that Blast doesn't consider this a threat on a planetary level? Is this not "big" enough for him? Is he simply on the other side of the world and he doesn't realize what's going on, or is there something deeper? Opinions?
-
Blast is too vagely defined to wonder about his actions or motivations. Is he fighting god level monsters keeping earth safe without anyone knowing? Did he retire because he became too strong and became a threat to humanity? Did he lose his powers and decide to keep his image as a symbol of hope? Does he only work in a certain place like watchdog man? No idea.
-
Well, the destruction just happened, after all. But if anything, the heightened destructive scale of recent events yet lack of appearance by Blast is even more effective, from a storytelling standpoint.
That characters within the setting are as incredulous as the reader themselves is a tacit acknowledgement of what the reader has long suspected:
Blast's absence (but also the absence of other crucial pro heroes, like Metal Knight) really is worth questioning, and the manga itself is telling you this.
-
Is there proof of blast being a thing and not another Shadow hero accidently created by Saitama?
-
I'm thinking that discussions about theories and future developments of OPM should be restricted to the webcomic thread, since going into spoilered discussions already spoils that a certain thing has been revealed in the webcomic. Like, there's no way to answer stuff about blast withous spoiling that either he's been unmentioned in the webcomic OR that info about him has been revealed, whatever the case may be.
-
Just caught up until latest chapter, but what the hell! Aren't the scale of the fight between Tats and Psykos is too bullshit. But the art is epic as always
-

He is literally revealed (not his face though) during the fight with Elder Centipede (go look for the chapter, i don't remember which one right now). Also, it's pretty obvious that some S class heroes (maybe even all of them) and some of the hero association staff have already met him in person, they know him and they talked to him. The theory of Saitama actually being Blast has been scrapped years ago for multiple reasons. Can't really talk about that because of webcomic spoilers.

You don't need the webcomic to discuss the question i made about Blast. But i guess that for someone who already read the webcomic it's easy to spoil something without even realizing it.
@Kucing:

I guess that the Earth being sliced like that would probably destroy the planet, so yeah, in that regard, it is bullshit and unrealistic, but afterall aren't all shonen kinda like that? Saitama can level mountains with just a little punch, so…
If instead you're talking about the power levels being too high, i don't see why you would think they wouldn't be able to reach that kind of power level. Tatsumaki has never been pushed 100% so far, so we don't know what she can really do, and Psykos just received some mysterious power from a mysterious being, in addition to Orochi's power. As far as we know, she could even have the power to destroy the entire planet... Don't worry though, Saitama can still one punch them both anyway... -
Is it possible to both love and dislike a chapter at the same time? Cause that’s what I’m feeling
-
I think it's because of the Phoenix monster chapters, where Murata overpowered this guy, before redrawing the fight into a more comedic and introspective.
Now we'll see if Murata'll keep those Godorochipsykos fights, or if he'll redraw all this fight into something else… -
It would be so funny if every battle goes over the top world ending, just to get a redraw to scale it back afterwards.

Murata doesn't have the leverage to make One do anything. -

Murata doesn't have the leverage to make One do anything.You are the only one who thinks that. A lot of the appeal of the series is Murata's superb art. He is as much responsible for the series exploding in popularity as One.
-

Murata's art is one half of the equation.
One's premise and writing is the other. This alone was able to allow OPM to garner a considerable amount of popularity even before the team up.
Murata knows this (he wouldn't have approached One if this wasn't the case) and I doubt he'll jeopardize this balance by trying to commandeer the writing duties. -

One confirmed that Murata has had creative control for something like the Phoenix Man fight so that already makes your narrative look weak.

"Being allowed to write the later half of a throwaway fight of a throwaway villain"
is a far cry from
"Murata dictates the direction of the redraw".
Perhaps Murata will dabble in the writing process again the future? Who knows. Hopefully he won't have to slap One across the face with his big swinging dick covered in his entourage of sexy girls to make it happen (or however you like to imagine it). LOL -

LOLWell i hope that you are proud of your childish commentary big man; you sure proved everyone wrong!
-
I think that the redraw has gained style, but lost substance. A lot of what made the webcomic great is being lost with the redraw, but seeing a lot of these scenes with great art is fun.
-
So much discussion of this series revolves around whether ONE or Murata is a top or bottom, it’s really quite something.
-

Everyone? You're the one I'm arguing against.
Some people certainly think Murata writes the whole thing but very few think Murata is some kind of arrogant jerk who tries to force/scare One into giving up complete control. Forgive me but I like to think that both One and Murata are nice, decent people.
I'll admit that Murata has most likely had input on the series from the start (the artist not able to contribute ideas of their own is highly unlikely) but until One/Murata say otherwise, One's the writer. They've both been fairly transparent about their roles so far.
@Silence:So much discussion of this series revolves around whether ONE or Murata is a top or bottom, it’s really quite something.
Haha, yeah. If I had known being able to draw really well was such an alpha male trait I would worked on the craft a lot more.

The webcomic is ok but i like this version where Murata has creative control to be better.

It's hard to complain about something when the art is Godly

Fandom uh finds a way.
I mean for me I personally enjoy the original webcomic story better…. but I just can't get too worked up when the art work is this great
-
Maybe if some day I read the original version I'll say: "The redrawn version is better (in terms of storytelling)", because the redrawn version will be the first version I read.

Reminds me of how I felt about Air Gear.
The story got way too convoluted and crazy, but right from the beginning I mostly loved the manga because of the art style.!

Oh man Air Gear, now that’s a throwback. I remember loving the series and then at some point I had zero idea what the hell they were talking about And what was going on story wise, but like you said the art work was great

Usually there is minor redraws from the magazine to volume chapters. But since OPM is in a digital platform One and Murata have more leeway to make changes to full chapters.

Yeah but I think he started to over do it recently, he spent like over a month redrawing 3-4 chapters
-
This is coming from a series that had flipbook pages when the re-draw was starting out. Honestly, there's nothing really concrete when it comes to this series development, so eh a few re-draws don't bother me.

The art is meaningless fluff. The story is far more important. Nobody would care about One Piece if it's story was on par with inuyasaha or bleach.
Maybe if some day I read the original version I'll say: "The redrawn version is better (in terms of storytelling)", because the redrawn version will be the first version I read.
From firsthand experience I can say: Naw. I read the redraw first then once I got to the end I picked up the original. Now I have the viewpoint of above. Seriously, the redraw is fairly crap and has fallen into the same kind of hole as the simpsons. The series used to be a tongue in cheek parody of the shounen genre, but now the redraw has just become a generic shounen. What was once a parody has become what it had parodied.

It's what happens when the guy redrawing it introduces a bunch of plotholes by taking the story too far away from the original plot. We're starting to get into Fullmetal Alchemist levels of divergent plotlines.

Ok ok, you really hate the official manga, we get it.
Btw, we don't know if the "plotholes" (if you can call them that) were introduced by Murata or by One himself. As far as i know, it's still One writing the overall plot and characters. I don't mind the story, i mind the re-drawings, not because they change the story, but because they change it for no reason at all, and usually for the worse. -
Like I keep saying, there's two golden things from the original that we're still (likely) on track for, and as long as we get them I won't care about anything else.
Change the canon as much as you want, Murata… but PLEASE don't rob me of a KINO version of! Saitama beating and reasoning with Garou + Saitama humbling Tatsumaki

Each manga has their own strong point. For many one of the biggest one for One punch man is the art.
