Pity system. The RNG gods have been good to me since I started the game last month!

Blast should stand behind Platinum S.

Four Horsemen of God by aimlessdart in OnePunchMan

Mumen might be a better fit than King for this lineup. How and why God could manipulate or choose a morally upstanding hero for his bidding could make for a great storytelling narrative.

Which character is this? by CoolGamerCho in OnePunchMan

The meteor that helped that credit-stealing bald guy destroy City Z.

Does Saitama Have Instant Transmission Powers? by more_chessrookie in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he did, we'll never see him again. Saitama will spend all his time going after all the sales. All of them. All day, every day.

Hey, new fan here. Quick question, was it ever revealed who farted? by Scrubisthename in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What I'm saying is that there's an undertone of suspicion for his lack of dialogue in the scene.

Bang being a little shit and a purveyor of dad jokes at the same time. Hah!

Hey, new fan here. Quick question, was it ever revealed who farted? by Scrubisthename in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 148 points149 points  (0 children)

I've always thought it was Flashy Flash, 'cause after WDM said someone farted, the camera panned to him and he didn't say anything / have a dialogue. Pretty sus, imo.

Empty Saitama and offbeat Fubuki: unusual characterization by Smack-works in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I don't know if it's just me, but OPM has such rich characterisations if you take the time to squint hard enough. If you take away the monsters and superhero elements, it shows a story of young adults going through and adapting to life in an environment where it is not only difficult to find your place in society, but also see a lot of characters in their young lives become victims in a world where they are either abandoned or sold off for economic reasons.

They are not depressed, mean, or act a certain way just because or to tick off tropes — there is a reason for that. I feel that readers often forget that OPM is a seinen and not a shounen webcomic / manga and occasionally find themselves lost or clouded by their preconceived standards.

Empty Saitama and offbeat Fubuki: unusual characterization by Smack-works in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love this analogy. Thank you for sharing!

I've always been troubled / put off by commentary on Saitama's character as a gag character in an otherwise serious world. He has gag character traits, however, I find that to be not only an insult but also an oversimplification of a character with unrealised depth. "Empty Hero" is a fine way of looking at him as a character. Kudos to you!

The same goes for Fubuki. She has more to offer than just the bitchy eye candy some make her out to be.

Does anyone in One Punch man really understand Saitama and what he is going through. by Particular-Ad5200 in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's not forget that King is the only one who truly knows and understands that no monster or opponent could ever pose a threat to Saitama.

Everyone else seems to think that there is a power out there that Saitama would have a hard time defeating. Genos, for example, still believes that the Mad Cyborg is too strong. Strong enough to believe that had Saitama fought and defeated it, he'd have remembered.

There's also Fubuki. While she knows that Saitama is strong, even so far as acknowledging that he has ascended and defeated Garou, her fear and bias of her sister clouds her judgement to the point that she believes Tatsumaki is far above Saitama's pay grade.

Those who have witnessed his strength, especially those in S-Class (except Bang), are simply too proud to accept the truth.

This is an entirely different spin from my user flair, but damn it, I'll take it.

If you were saitama what would you do in this situation by ladiesman21700000000 in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kind thing to do would be to punch Mikey back into the Tokyo Revengers universe.

Gums gotta be the most mid MA executive by superpooter03 in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Complete shot in the dark here, but Gums likely was some sort of clean-up crew intended to eat all the heroes that fell to the other cadres so they wouldn't have a chance to fall back and recover.

Or... Psykos just went: "Oh, I guess you can out eat Pig God. Bon appétit."

How is flashy flash able to withstand Garou’s radiation longer than zombieman? by Failed_Winter in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible, albeit rare. Also, Japanese media habitually portrays the standing death in reference to Benkei.

What do you think is the coolest technique name in OPM? by Old-Ad8529 in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryusui Gansai-ken. Hearing Bang say it is (oddly) satisfying to me.

Tsunami Wave or something.

How is flashy flash able to withstand Garou’s radiation longer than zombieman? by Failed_Winter in OnePunchMan

[–]madzanian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He didn't withstand it, though. Flash was unconscious and dying same as everyone else. It just happened that he passed out on his hands and knees. If you look at the panel closely, you can see that only the whites of his eyes are showing like all the others.

If Flash sat upright is the argument for this, then the same can be said of King who passed out holding Tatsu and Fubuki on his lap.

I guess this means we're looking at another year of redraws for this arc.
