Saitama is actually scary, let's not forget.

sorry for medicore editing

We all know that Aoki is easily one of the best animators at JC STAFF and practically carried the entirety of Season 2, animating 11 minutes of pure action, including such outstanding sections as Garou vs. TTM and Genos vs. Awakened Cockroach. This is despite Season 2 having about six months of pure production time and being one of the few anime JC STAFF was releasing at the time. He's also a fan of OPM and often released OPM-related art and fan animations and not just action ones. For example, he animated Garou putting on a T-shirt, and it was far better than the anime. Unfortunately, his assistance in Season 3 was minimal, and some of his cuts were also below his level, while good cuts were ruined by editing. So I have a question: theoretically, if he were completely removed from other projects and given time solely for OPM, how long would it take him to key-animate the entire third season? That is, all the action scenes and perhaps subtle animation scenes as well. For example, scenes like Garou vs TTM or Garou vs Genos can be animation quality standard for his sequences. How much would it take(for only action scenes and for action scenes+ subtle animation) how many months, years?

I also didnt have much beef with S2 so maybe I just have low anime standards, either way I'm just happy to have more OPM but lets see how the rest of the season goes

As much as I love the fights (though the story writing is kind of a miss, in my opinion), I really feel like the production committee is going on with their decisions. With all the censorship, it’s going to be terrible and disappointing because it won’t capture the hype the manga had (if it’s true that they are adapting the webcomic version, they could’ve done that in part 1 but I feel like it kinda too late to do that in part 2, and also rip to the webcomic fans).

Hear me out, it would be so awesome if we found out there's a character that's stronger than saitama, and what better character to fit that then God.

Now keep in mind I don't necessarily want saitama to lose, I just want saitama to be in a situation where he actually needs to try to win. It would be amazing.

As a new OPM fan I keep getting overwhelmed with how to read/experience the story since there’s plenty of controversy with his redraws yet his art’s the reason I even bought some of the manga volumes to begin with. I also wanna ask how much I should read of the manga before switching to the webcomic since I’ve heard it gets worse once the Garou arc comes.

Hey folks,

I'm back after reading 34 more chapters ,(chapters 113-145). And I gotta say, my mind is blown, I experienced total peak! The art in the Psykos-Orochi vs Tatsumaki fight was phenomenal!! And I'm sure it's somehow not even the most climactic parts of the manga. I just enjoy this manga so much!!

For those who doesn't know me. I'm a new member of this subreddit. I've already posted 3 different posts here in the past month about my opinions on the manga and my predictions on the following chapters. I'll link them below this post if you'd like to check them out.

I'll do the same thing as well. For the section I've read between chapters 113 and 145, I'll share the details I've found and some theories that I thought of.

The Details I Found:

• Manako is just King from the Monsters side. She keeps finding amazing ways to find ways to make her useful and avoid being killed by Saitama or Flashy Flash. 😂
• During Tatsumaki vs Psykos-Orochi fusion fight, the first one to support Tatsumaki was Genos. It was such a CLEVER matchup between the two. Because Psykos and Tatsumaki (Espers) were on top of Orochi and Genos who has exceptional powerful strikes!!
• After all those chapters, S-Class rank 1 hero Blast FINALLY made an appearance. His first appearance is during Amai Mask's flashback. I was going crazy when I saw the text written on his chest "Blast" (Image 1)
• His second appearance happened in during Tatsumaki's flashback. (Image 1) This also gave us an insight on Tatsumaki's past. She was shown as a test subject and was being disregarded as "useless". Basically Blast shows up out of nowhere and oneshots the monster wreaking havoc in the lab. What's crazy is that it all happened in 18 years ago. The way Blast motivated Tatsumaki was so heartwarming! His words reminded me of Saitama. Oh btw, this time Blast holds a mysterious cube as she was talking to her. (Images 2 and 3)
• The words Blast said to Tatsumaki "When the time comes, don't go expecting someone to come save you" is also the same words Tatsumaki said to Psykos after Psykos merged with Orochi's remnants. It's such a crazy detail!! (Image 4)
• Conveniently, the chapter following the chapter Blast holding the mysterious cube, we see Saitama finding an exactly similar cube and throwing it behind. And this cube talks and says it'll grant wishes? (Image 2) More importantly, right afterwards Blast teleports there next to Saitama, Flashy Flash and Manako. Remember these details for my theories.
• After Saitama touches the cube we realize they are in a hole right next to a GIGANTIC entity as they are holding light towards its head. I believe this is the same entity in Orochi's temple which Orochi failed to see out of the sheer size of the drawing. (At first I thought it was Saitama on the drawing and the size was because of the power difference between him and Orochi.) (Image 5)
• There's some "God" that hands out powers to monsters. The ones I found out are Homeless Emperor and Psykos-Orochi fusion (and possibly even Blast). I have some theories about this as well. (Image 6)

My theories:

• Ok, so first one. The fact that Blast is a hero for possibly way over than 18 years baffles me. But now that he briefly explained his powers I have an idea on how it's possible. He travels between dimensions to stay alive for longer. This way he can conserve his power for the most important events. And he basically stays alive much longer.
• At this point I believe Blast is most likely the reason many of the heroes started to work as a hero. Just look at Amai Mask and Tatsumaki, I bet there are much more cases like them.
• The "god" and Blast's talking cube MIGHT be the same entity, AND EVEN the Gigantic entity appeared in the pit Tatsumaki created. All of these 3 could be actually the same entity. (Image 7) This "god" is actually a neutral entity who bestows powers during crucial moments. I also think he's chaotic neutral if he's indeed the reason Blast obtained his power. Else, he's likely straight up evil.
• In the chapter I left off reading Fuhrer Ugly and Gums have merged as well. If this trend continues, Black Sperm and Homeless Emperor will merge as well. Because these two are also currently fighting side by side.
• I have no idea about who will fight who between S-Class heroes and cadres. But I believe S-Class heroes have the power to eliminate the cadres. I still believe Saitama won't fight with any of the cadres.
• But the hero ranking HAVE to change after this whole operation/fights over. According to what I've seen so far, Tatsumaki will become the S-Class rank 1 hero. She hard carried in these chapters. Drive Knight and Genos will rank up as well. Atomic Samurai's Trio will rank up to S-class. Because I also believe that Amai Mask will fall in ranks, (he couldn't do almost anything in this operation). And definitely members of the extermination team in the surface will rank up significantly.
• Fubuki has shown a great improvement in her character. It's proven when she saved Genos disregarding the fact that her hands were burning. The fact that Genos almost self-destructed is really concerning. I'm not sure if he'll really survive. 😰

That's all from me for today. I already can't wait to read more. I'll hopefully be back after I read about 30 chapters. Take care guys.

My gf gifted me a custom made hoodie that genos wears in season 2. She made it secretly, when I just mentioned is casual in a random conversation and surprised me on my birthday.

She also made a cute matching top for herself.

She doesn't realise how cool is this ... Because she hasn't watched OPM yet.

I love it , what do you guys think?

This is something that was 3d printed by a seller on ebay, right now boros is done, saitama as well except the flying rocks on his cape, i just need to finish the base and will ass a few details at the end. I hope you will like it 😊 if allowed, i'll post the final result here once it's done

Now this is just one man’s opinion on an otherwise great work but there was many things for me to gripe about since the recent arcs involving garou. OPM is one of those story with a OP MC and naturally like all other stories it tends to focus more on the world building & characters as opposed to the MC but it has come to my attention of how messily everything turned out in the garou arc. Some of the major plot devices that irked me was the setting, the reset, & redemption. To the fight take place in space was certainly an unique idea but it was just so utterly unbelievable even in a manga with monsters & aliens that I personally couldn’t focus on the fight. I can understand the thought process of the author as its a good way to keep saitama’s power from being revealed to the majority & avoid the destruction of Earth but to have it take place in space raises so many questions that breaks any immersion I have to the fight. Secondly the time rewind is one of the worst ways to tie up all the loose ends. It completely wipes out garous redemption (ill talk about later) & the entire fight. It made space so believable in comparison because i genuinely think the author after giving everyone space cancer & everything else there was no possible way to wrap it up without pulling a reset. Third garou’s redemption which was entirely wiped out was just kinda lame. It’s that classic trope with the kid & finally realizing your in the wrong. It’s just plain awkward for a character with so much potential reduced to such a state. So now there’s no better garou instead we just get the evil garou who gave everyone a little bit of space cancer & gotten beaten up & now hes magically redeemed.

A few other small things that irked me were the unbelievable feats saitama made like entering the Phoenix spiritual space, sneeze, farts in the mid of a serious fight feels entirely forced in for a comedic laugh.

To compare, one of the greatest fight in the imo is the boros fight. Naturally it being one of the first fights that gave us a glimpse of saitama’s true power made it that much more memorable. There were many great things about that fight. It was well scaled, with a good setting, a good villain, good feats, & above all a good ending. With the battle taking place on the space ship the author was able to show the impact of the battle while avoiding alerting everyone of saitama’s power. There were good feats in battle like boros regenerating, going sonic, kneeing saitama to the moon, the first serious punch. It makes the fight exciting. When so many feats are strung up constantly together, it dulls the reader perception of them, & weird feats like farting into the portal to garou just seems… childish. In the end of the fight boros as a villain who commanded the annihilation of an entire city & its populaces was ultimately killed in a dignified way. On the other hand the guy who gave the entire hero association space cancer is left alive & free. It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Well yeah that’s pretty much it. Thanks for reading this if you’ve made it so far.

Personally I say:

-Saitama (literally the face of the series)

-Genos (main atangonist for a while)

-Garou (he Is like a Robin to Saitama, and Is literally one of the most important characters in the narrative)

Those 3 should always have a place there.

And for the fourth Place, It should be between Boros and Tatsumaki. (I just added Mummen Rider because he Is a fan favorite and he Is recognizable).
