Losing the plot may be the wrong term. I feel the pacing of this monster association battle is like, completely off. Why are we having some big Bang Garou (lol bang garou) thing? Why is Garou some animalistic monster instead of some cringy misguided idiot? Golden Sperm just cuz of Fuhrer Ugly? Where the hell is Psykos vs Fubuki anyway? Even if Psykos comes back during the fight somehow, Tatsumaki is all fucked up so it won't even be impressive is Psykos beats her

God

Why were the swordsmen even here

Where is King?

IDK, part of me realizes it's dumb to hate on just cuz it's different, and I should wait to see it play out. But damn. Seems rushed and bad. Like it feels exactly like the type of thing it's supposed to be making fun of

Dat is true, i do remember there being one big sperm before the golden sperm appeared in the comic. But golden sperm already looks hella badass, anything more would be too outlandish imo

Thats only an unpopular opinion for manga-only readers tbh. They try to say that it doesnt have to be like the webcomic, which is true. But some (or a lot) of the additions are poorly placed or poorly done.

Also the way they did GS in the manga might actually be the thing that bothers me the most. Just because it was fully changed for the worse, pretty much objectively.

Do you read the manga? He went through monsterization. He finally became a monster after all that time obsessing over it.

Remember early in the manga (like chapter 1 bro) where the crab guy became a crab monster because he was obsessed with eating crab?

Or literally Saitama who obsessed over being a hero who could defeat anyone with one punchbecoming one punch man?

Do you notice a pattern?

So much of OPM is about being carful what you wish for.

ONE expanded the story quite a bit from the webcomic + uneven release schedule makes the pacing super long

I imagine if it had a bi weekly schedule it would have been over by now

the Psyrochi fight dragged out way too long, Tats got knocked unconscious like 3 times during that, and then Blast shows up, why? To drop hints about whats he been up to? During this big ass battle that everyone is involved in? The pacing has been fucked.

I don't follow the manga so this could be filler. The final villain of season 1 outclassed Saitama. He only lost due to a cheap shot.

This thread shows that most of you guys have not read the manga, or dont pay attention to it.

Garou becoming a monster was literally explained to be monsterizationand considering his goal and being a self described monster who hunts heroes2+2=4.

Nothing will ever come anywhere near Saitama. He outclassed (i assume u mean boros) Boros so hard it wasn't even close

Boros even says that.

the final villain of season 1 himself said it wasnt a fight and that Saitama had energy to spare and was way too strong for him and that you cant trust prophecies tho

The difference in their power was painfully obvious. I recall one scene where Boros was moving blindingly fast and had an aura of power around him. Then it cut to Saitama who was casually jogging. Saitama seemed weak in comparison. The hits from Boros also just felt like they had a lot more force and effort behind them. I don't see how anyone could say that Saitama outclassed that guy.

Saitama probably cheated somehow to beat him

Right. He appears to be just a comedy/joke clown character.

If so, wins are inconsequential.

I recall Murata saying he views the series as a battle shonen first and gag comic second. This made the early chapters even funnier because of how serious everything except Saitama was, but once Murata started making content from scratch it lost its shine.

For a manga about Saitama, the titular One Punch Man, he's barely in it any more. I get that they can't have him in too much as he'd just one punch everything, but it's swung way too far in the opposite direction.

It's definitely the increased seriousness overall that is at fault. I'm glad this arc is coming to its conclusion now we're on the cadre battles, as the next arcs in the webcomic is a lot more comedy and Saitama heavy.

Sounds like they should have just leaned into the punchline more often, like an abridged series.

It's a gag manga, so just go full gag.
