Onepunch-Man (redrawn version)

Watch-man

It would make sense if by December 2016 we get a Season 2 Annoucement(That will be set for the Fall 2017).

By 2017 Murata should be on the climax of the MA arc.

That arc in total in Original was as long as all arcs before put together. I would say 2017 end is most realistic if we do not want Murata to overwork himself and pay for it with health.

@Graven:

I wonder if next season which most likely will have Garou at the center, will have 12 epi, or if they will increase the cap.

Different from Boros which just appear out of nowhere and become a major threat, Garou fleshes out much more through the story till the climax, besides that, there is the Monster Association, and if they want to adapt Murata's extra content, i don't know if 12 episodes will be enough to wrap the entire story.

I would say they would need around 40 episodes with good pace. This season was quite fast, maybe even too fast paces at some episodes imo.

Sander

Did you guys notice the callbacks to Saitama's dream when Boros was getting reckt? Except it was from Boros' perspective, he was the one having the time of his life going all out against an insurmountable foe. You had the heartbeat, the fire in his eye when regenerates, jump pose and the start up to his run that mirrored Saitama's dream.

It makes his realisation that he was never a match for Saitama so… bitter-sweet. Made me feel for him actually.

Well thats what makes it bit more than just a flashy fight. Boros felt stimulus that he was after, for him to win again and wait many decades or more for new enemy strong enough to give him challenge would be even sadder in my opinion. At least he went out with a bang after giving his all against somebody extremely special.

Because of those kind of comments Muratas streams are rare. Some japanese edgy fans of his more than once commented harshly on his streams for example once when he was doing some pull ups.
They started trash talking on Murata so he backed off from streams.

He is normal human being, having family and a ton of work, he seems like good person. Him being amazingly good artist does not mean his taste in music must be only some awe-inspiring tracks. Btw pop is good for chilling while doing some work like he does..

Back down, social justice warrior! Nothing wrong with commenting that i don't particularly enjoy his music tastes. It'd be one thing if i'd posted it in the chat, mocking him in japanese… but it's on here, it's harmless, and even if he could read this I'm sure the man can handle dissent over his music taste.

It's quite different from making fun of his physical ability, that just mean.

*Justice CRaaaasshhh!!! "

Well sure its fine to say his music taste is cringy.. compared to his drawing skills that is
Murata is normal guy with gods skill, normal and also seems to be rather sensitive individual.

As for content of stream - I would prefer for next chapter action to focus on Elder Centepide.. but we seen like 3 pages so almost certainly there is far more to chapter than what was shown today.

Future Stage play?

MDL

Finally caught up. And damn, little sister power up incoming.

I really like Metal Bat, his ability is a lot like Yang from RWBY.
The more they tank, the stronger they become.

Loving this manga so far. The character designs are very diverse, the re-done artwork is amazing, I love the comedy, and there are so many badasses & good fights.

The way it's going, this might just become my all time favourite manga… there's absolutely nothing I dislike about it so far.

Thats awesome. ONE must have been really young when he created Boros.

And of course Fubuki is the best girl of the series, she is the only girl in the series (Tatsumaki is a brat)

The anime version depicts Tatsumaki as a cute tsundere little princess but we manga readers know that Tatsumaki is the female version of the mind reading kid from the Twilight Zone.

LordPerucho

The anime version of Tats is like her webcomic self :ninja:

Sander

Tats is the same as she is in Murata's manga. The VA just compounded it.

ONE's version remains supreme.

What kind of things did they say?
I think getting to watch a professional mangaka work live sounds like a great idea, but I think that in one of the videos I saw he spent forever live-streaming himself read Hikaru no Go…

When he was taking some freedom - for example reading stuff, eating stuff, talking stuff - as while streaming he concentrated not only on drawing but doing also other things quite a number of people gotten upset that he is not drawing as a many of followers only go to livestream of his to see him working.

For example he left once camera on and went to other room to do pull ups so some of followers started calling him an old man because it looked like he wanted to show off. Short time after that and a number of harsh comments he backed off from doing as many streams as before and said that he had to concentrate on work and his health, meaning that comments did affect him in a way.

Some people have no mercy even when artists like Murata want to get into some form of contact with their fans.

I made myself an account on ustream and I leave from time to time some positives on Muratas ustream, maybe he also seen those

So Monster seen that Garou spared MB sister and didnt finished off Metal Bat.. Interesting.

If not for Metal Bat sister Garou would be dead by now.. MB with last bits of strength should now go and finish off that Centepide together with Metal Knight.

That bird monster now looks to me like a monster with bird suit on, weird impression is weird.

Lets hope we will get finale with Elder Centepide and Tournament that Saitama is hopefully having some fun with. Then HYPE for next arc that in original is one of my all time favourite arcs in any manga.

It will be crazy to see all of S-class

! , Demon and Dragon level monsters fighting each other for a TON of chapters.. It will be like 2 years of awesomness ?

I hope that Murata will color for volume version one of characters named Golden Something with Gold-colored ink, would be amazing. I cannot wait for some moments !

It would be very good moment for Murata to draw

! Death Gattling vs Garou already.
In my opinion that is.

Also Murata added some content to previous chapter making Garou vs Metal Bat feel a bit less one-sided.

Thats a good thing. Chapter is more enjoyable for me than its first version.

By the way, 86 changed quite a bit too, in case you haven't noticed.

Thanks for clarifying. I had this picture in my head of Murata randomly doing pull ups on stream. Would have added another layer of hilarity. Though Saitama's routine doesn't include pull ups…

Sander

I feel like the mix between the two versions would be optimal.

Air hockey happens, Garou goes ham on MB as the latter holds up and delivers his badass lines on how he keeps swinging till Garou's beaten, pulls out his move, Garou gets cornered and trumps it with the extra intense barrage of water stream whatever fist.

Still this pace is a lot faster and less flashy. With Metal Bat doing air hokey and they still failing to do damage Murata and One probably decided on skipping this scene and giving Metal Bat one with him almost Killing Garou that we just seen today. Maybe in volume Murata will add air hockey scene back but I would not bet on it..

You're welcome

Maybe Murata also wants to be like Saitama(of Drawing) but with his own set of training program :ninja:

Kizuchan

I saw the OVA and special. They were alright - I'd love for the 200 yen chapter to get animated as far as "prequel" stuff goes, but these had their entertaining moments.

El-Matematico

It seems all the OVAs will be original content.

Cyclone_Baroness

Where are you viewing the ovas?

Graven

Is there a translated version of that chapter?

Anyway, i hope Watchdog Man remain a mystery until ONE himself do something with him, same for Engine Knight, i know ONE is side by side with Murata, but, nontheless, i think it would be more reasonable to let each character to be propely exposed in the original material first.

I fail to see any kind of difference.

Kaze

I'm a little perturbed that he just left.

Ordinary

I guess this fight ended as best as it could. I like Metal Bat, but really if he had to job to the villain for the sake of the story that would be fine with me. Like this both of them get to keep their "dignity". Otherwise Garou would just be Malik Ishtar 2.0 and just lose nonstop throughout his own arc as the villain.

Desperado

@Kaze:

Thats the problem with this version's Garou .
He gets too nice too early.

Chapter is out .

It was the proper ending to the fight IMO, and nice ending hyping the MA arc.

Ukimix

Well, the centipede is not that merciful.

KageKageKing

Yeah. That is right, go away. Its not like we cared about you, jeez.

LordPerucho

Rhino Monster wasnt with the other Monsters, did he kill Mohawk and PineApple or someone will show up to save them?(Bearded worker said there were gonna be more S class heroes besides MK showing up IIRC)

Interested in seeing WDM fighting, he has more hype than MB.

Next chapter should we go back to Saitama or focus on Elder Centipede vs Metal Knight?

Shandian

Everything we have been shown about Watchdog man hints that he is ridiculously overpowered… almost like a Tatsumaki level of strong, also he wears dog suit and never get worked up about anything.
While I wan't to see more about this...absurd character I also wan't to him to stay mysterious.

Graven

I don't think WDM vs Garou is going to happen, something will happen and will take Garou of his way.

Just my two cents.
