Season 2 was announced September last year.

>>158122382
Funny thing is BNHA is funnier than OPM's lame overused joke

The right one was more hype and have better animations. Left have better soundtracks.

>>158122442
Because the one punch joke is the only joke in one punch man

>>158122270
I don't like BNHA I dislike MC.
I was hoping that he was going to enter the academy without any powers and become a hero without it, but instead he was given overpowered strength that he can't control now just for the sake of character development.
Nah, it is shit.
I would better read american capeshit than this and I hate it.


OPM has it's moments however it is the same joke over and over again.

Easy enough: Both

OPM for some laid back story about monsters, an overpowered dude, douchebag heroes and a really dumb mob combined with lots of corruption.

BnHA for great character interaction, character development, interesitng fights and a slightly different society.

Both have nice world building

Why use OPM when MP 100 was so much better on so many different levels

No shit, BNHA Season 2 has more budget than OPM Season 1, its unfair to compare them.

OPM Season 2 could be as fun as BNHA Season 2.

Genos vs Sonic
Saitama vs Fubuki
Metal Bat vs Garou
Saitama vs Suiryu
Suiryu vs Choze(This one might be stealer if Natsume storyboards that episode).

>>158128762
are you being retarded or something?
regardless of academia having more budget,opm still is miles better than academia
it just cant compare what with academia's low sense of scale plus the batman level street villains only and the never ending training arcs

also 9 out of 10 times if you ask someone if they prefer opm or academia,they say opm
so please dont get too delusional

>>158129006

Havent you realized the latest BNHA episode got a positive reaction as big as OPM Episode 5?

>>158130565
I've read the webcomic and I see little wrong with that anon's assessment.

It all revolves around the incongruity of Saitama's character versus the expectations of the world. That is the gag, that is the premise. There are some other jokes, but most of them are very one-note, and almost always come back to Saitama.

It's still pretty good though, because the joke is flexible to take in characters like Garou and Tatsumaki, whose interactions with him are fun on their own due to the insane contrast between them.

Hero Academia still blows it out of the water IMO, but it's an opinion, just like yours.

>>158130001

It was better than Almight vs Noumu, Anon.

Btw congrats to BNHA for finally becoming relevant worldwide, took 24 episodes to do it.

>>158130902
Also, the series are fun to compare in the way how their respective strongest individuals reflect the worlds they inhabit.

All Might is the Symbol of Peace, an optimistic old man who visibly and knowingly carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. The series reflects this by being bright, bombastic, and focuses on the HERO aspect of being a hero, just helping people out of goodwill. Hell, arguably the most memorable villain in the series just saw the heroes as decadent celebrities who kick villains' asses and bask in the limelight of every drop of blood they shed.

Contrastingly, Saitama is a cynical character whose almost singular motivation is to get out of the mess he is in, being the strongest person to exist. To him, the power is a burden, and thus he has become cynical about being a hero. He gives more shits about his groceries and house than about saving people. His has the capability to become someone like All Might, the ace in the hole who is able to solve anything, but both his disposition and his cynicism toward being a hero come in the way (Without him really knowing), and he is actually content with that. The world is similarly cynic about things, and the attitudes of heroes like Genos, Sweet Mask and Tatsumaki shows how the world doesn't run on goodwill.

What, you were expecting me to do some ratings? I dunno, 9/13 I guess.

/blog

BNHA Season 2> OPM Season 1>BNHA Season 1.

The pacing in BNHA Season 1 was horrendous, AM vs Noumu was only good in the last 3 mins when they were exchanging blows and Plus Ultra punch.

hey guys, just putting my two cents in to say I like both shows.

have a nice day.

>>158130746
A fight where the main character keeps breaking his bones out of being just fucking insane trying to connect with the other one IS better than just overpowered dude #1 fighting overpowered dude #2 who also has transformations because the earth will be destroyed if not.

All Saitama vs Boros had going for it was the visuals, which were great, I admit that. But they're just images flashing by. And if we go by animation standards alone, jesus fuck did Deku vs Todoroki look fucking good too. But it also had emotional impact on top of that.

>inb4 emotions are for fags

>>158131734
>>inb4 emotions are for fags

Who the fuck would say that? Do you seriously value style over substance you autist?

>>158131784
Did you read my post anon-kun?

I obviously meant that someone else would say that. I fucking said that the emotional impact was the main thing that made Deku vs Todoroki great, that jawdropping sakuga was just the cherry on the top.

>No OPM threads over the entire week
>Suddenly there's 4 OPM threads in the span of a few hours, and all are shitposting

Great threads OP

>>158122270
OPM is the one who makes fun of shitty generic shounens Hero Academia so OPM is the best

I really enjoy BnHA's characters, animation, and style more than OPM.

But it's so surreal to me how BnHA is so unoriginal and uninteresting in setting up its own story and conflicts so far. It's spending half of its second season on this tournament and it's killing me how they can't make it a little more interesting than how other shounen published manga have done tournament arcs.

You could say it's okay to be unoriginal as long as you do it well, but I don't see anything special in the series beyond its characters.

Which is worse?

The Hero Association hiring costumed mercenaries or UA and similar institutions training glory hound heroes?

>>158122270
They are nothing alike

>>158122270
OPM lacks content. Seriously it feels so empty. I don't get al the hype.

Saitama vs Boros was the greatest animated fight in history so left. Boku is boring kiddy shit with terrible pacing and recaps everywhere.

>>158130902
>There are some other jokes, but most of them are very one-note, and almost always come back to Saitama
Uh... so?
Does that make it less comedic just because the jokes are made by saitama or come back to him?
That anon made it seem like the "one punch" is the only joke in the entire series and if you really read the manga and theWebcomic you would know that this is the truth.
Heck , in the whole garou arc how many times did saitama defeat a monster with one punch?
>Hero Academia still blows it out of the water IMO
Let's agree to disagree

>>158132373
What you say is true if you only care about animation and don't give a shit about everything else.

>>158132533
not really
its just like a bunch of kindergardners spouting justice crap when you know they are toddlers so it doesnt matter they say
thats the best example of how boring and uninteresting academia is

wait for season 2 of opm to air and see if anyone ever remembers academia

>>158132128
Anime only? The second half of this season might be better up your territory, shit gets real again, with hints toward it starting as early as next episode. And it's one of the more well-liked arcs coming.

>>158132473
I am fine with that. Everyone has preferences.

I wasn't trying to argue that. I was just pointing out that technically that anon wasn't that wrong, even though I know they implied the One-Punch joke. And in the Garou arc, yeah, he barely used it because he was almost always conveniently away while others need to struggle with the villains.

>>158132691
>see who remembers Academia
I'm not even that anon but could you even try? Hero Academia is the second biggest series on JUMP, right after the behemoth that is One Piece. It's not going anywhere. That's almost like saying ten years ago that people are gonna forget Bleach because Nardo exists, it's just dumb.

Literally every fight in the martial tournament

>>158132846

He was there the entire time during the MA arc, and he got fucking ignored. Also, the hero being away while the side-characters struggle isn't something unique to OPM

>>158132533
Anime is a primarily visual media, and visuals matter.

>>158132938
Name one fight better than Saitama vs Boros so we can laugh at your shit taste.

Why are people still shitting on SNK when season 2 has actually been good? Season 1 was overrated as fuck but season 2's actually gotten somewhere interesting, even mainstream-fags are bitching that the show's focusing on characters that are actually interesting instead of Eren/Mikasa/Armin/Levi.

It had a sense of incredible, world shaking power behind it. The animation was weighty, full of impact. The sense of speed and power in the way the scenes are choreographed really blew me away, especially as someone who grew up with DBZ. I just like flashy animations and huge impacts. If they had been punting each other through planets and fighting across the galaxy I would have liked it even more, scale is really important IMO when you are gonna do battles like this. On that note, I am super bummed Toriko never got a Gourmet world arc animated, shit like this gets my dick hard.

>>158133150
As much as people like to shit on Mob for sales, that fucking OP is 11/10.

Also is BnHA genuinely worth watching? Does it actually have a good story and good characters? Shounens are fun and all but the genericness can get really boring at times, does BnHA do anything unique at least?

>>158133140
That wasn't a fight anon, it was a rape...

>>158133278
Probably one of the best OP's of 2016.

>>158133290
Yeah, but that is why it's good.

>>158133273
The stub-scene was fucking funny, that's for sure. But the entire rest of the season has been great though, as someone who honestly got tired of AoT after season 1 and how it was literally everywhere my expectations were rock bottom but I just kept getting more and more invested.

For god's sake, a gag character like Sasha got more development and interest in her character in 1 episode whereas even after all of season 1 I still don't care about Mikasa at all.

Also, episode 6 and the reveal in it are unironically one of my favourite anime episodes of all time. The fucking music was amazing.

>>158133321
Great Days and 99 were my picks for best OPs, 2016 was a pretty good year.

I don't mind series that have slow starts, some real gems have bad beginnings I guess. I just want to know if it does anything that makes it stand out. I like the art style and the idea behind it but if it's just another generic shounen with low-stakes/asspulls/boring OP MC then I'll give it a pass.

Well, if you watch up to the latest episode, you will see how Deku is not your normal protagonist, honestly. He starts pathetic, but jeez when he shows his true colors. And it wasn't even a whiplash, it was a well-built character trait that just... Escalated.

The first season has a little broken pacing due to pre-production starting SUPER EARLY to the manga. The second season fixed it, and it is really good right now.

>>158133481
Turned into torture porn for a bit.

>>158133439

even in season 2 you will get frustrated waiting for anything substantial to happen

MP100 > BnHA > One Joke Man

>>158133439
Try it. I really liked Academia right from the 1st episode.It's not so generic like Black Clover or Fairy Tail, that's for sure. It 100 times better than these shitty titles.

>>158122270
Like comparing Eva to TTGL.

>>158133439
It's not everone's cup of tea, but damn sure is mine.

You gotta brace yourself though, because the action is not the holding factor, it's the characters, their interaction and growth.

>>158133514
I want to take that with a grain of salt but watch it anyway. I just remember there being a shitstorm in some BnHA threads a while back for the author being too much of a pussy to have a character lose/die and that sort of gave me a negative impression.

>>158133439
Give it a try anon, its pretty good.

>>158133573
Does the growth actually lead somewhere though? I love character interactions and growth but there's genuinely nothing worse in my opinion than having characters that lead up to nothing/characters that obviously have so much potential but end up getting cut short.
>>158133604
it's starting to seem worth a shot now, only watching one anime this season anyway so I could probably binge season 1 and move onto season 2. Is the OST good too? Nothing's better than an amazing OST to suit a good anime.

>>158133636
OST is pretty forgettable IMO, but its still fun to watch regardless, though you may get annoyed with the MC during the first couple episodes cause he is such a crybaby bitch.

>>158133699
How's the manga been like after the events covered in season 1? I know season 2 is coming out in a few months but all this shit about Garou's got me interested.

>>158122270

Deku vs Todoroki (aka Naruto vs neji 2.0) is better than saitama vs boros

>>158133775
Shame we wouldn't get Lee vs Gaara 2.0

>>158133766
Deku gets over it pretty quickly.

>>158133574
I wonder when that was. There is commonly recognized to be one asspull in the entire series (was in the anime, what, 3-4 weeks ago), and in the big picture, it's pretty minor.

>>158133636
Oh, hell yes they do. BNHA is the polar opposite of (early?) One Piece in the sense that Status Quo is it's bitch, pretty much. Characters actually change, like actually actually change, which is really rare for shonens. It hasn't come up that much in the anime yet, because the change is slow and gradual, but even the edgiest characters have shown real growth in the manga.

>>158133775
And nothing will come close to that fight until Garou vs Saitama.

Season 2 date hasn't been confirmed yet, but the manga has been enjoyable. For a while we've been stuck on a mini-tournament arc due to Murata's slow releases but it shouldn't take more than an hour to read in real time now. As for Garou, he's a fucking treat that you should experience for yourself rather than me telling you about him

>>158133903
Good luck!

>>158133900
I thought it was referring to Shinsou, because come on, the world was at stake! The series would change totally in tone if that happened, and people loved that fight. It might blow all these Borosfags out of the water at best.

It's mainly been setting up for the next arc that season 3 will probably cover, which has the most entertaining fight so far in the series.

Any scene with Garou in it is pretty fun, one of the best characters in this series too.

Deku is a faggot and Tsuyu is literally the only reason BnH is worth a shit.

I think we can all agree that.

BNHA is X-Men done right

OPM is bored Superman done right

>>158134002
All right, time for real talk.

Because Saitama is hax powerful, we gotta remove him from the equasion

Garou vs All Might. Can All Might PLUS ULTRA strong enough to beat this menacing villain?!

>>158134076
I think Bones has a contract to keep on wringing out the anime until the manga drops out, and it doesn't seem to be doing that anytime soon. They just do it in yearly seasons instead of fillers.

>>158134120
>>158134124
I'm not saying it will happen, but bones is doing a stellar job at the adaptation right now. Todo vs Deku wasn't actually visually nearly as impressive as either vs Stain or vs AfO, but it looked amazing animated. So when we get to parts that looked amazing in manga form -

>>158134002
>>158134335
>Look up Garou
>Some poorly-drawn demon form shit
I presume this is from the webcomic? Could the fight with him be enough to top Saitama/Boros?

>>158134268
He can sleep when the chapter is finished

>>158133278
On top of that most of episodes (i would say 2/3) are boring as fuck, the MC is a huge crying faggot .
But he gets a bit better in S2

>>158134430
>Could the fight with him be enough to top Saitama/Boros
It already topped it

>>158134430
Well, if the animators do it justice, yes. It's a different kind of beast, but damn was it satisfying.

>>158134378
>Can All Might PLUS ULTRA strong enough to beat this menacing villain?!

Fuck no, Garou as a monster is roughly equal with an alien that can kick a human being 380,000 kilometers in a mere moments, and fast enough outpace that same human that was kicked at near lightspeed. All Might would get red misted before his synapses could start to fire.

>>158134458
Would you recommend I just read the manga for BnHA up until the point where season 2 starts? General consensus makes it sound that season 1 isn't great but season 2 sounds pretty good.
>>158134477
>>158134517
How long do you guys think it'll be till that's covered in the manga then? Might as well start picking it up now as well since season 2's airing soon, year of the superhero-anime it seems.

>>158134430
If you've seen the original fight between Boros and Saitama in the webcomic, its already topped it. But Murata, ONE, and later Madhouse added to the fight during the manga/anime to make it the glorious fight scene we know today, so hopefully the Garou fight gets some equally crazy additions.

>>158133346
>For god's sake, a gag character like Sasha got more development and interest in her character in 1 episode
Don't worry, you'll be wondering why they kept her alive when the next season rolls out.

>>158132938

>It was only the exchange of punches.

Barely.

It was just Boros hitting Saitama and Saitama coming back with zero marks on him.

>>158134591
well all thats left is garou vs watchdogman n after that is back to webcomic territory,hopefully

>>158134618
She's actually fucking relevant? Just how much did the mangaka plan out from the beginning? I was so surprised when characters like Ymir, Christa, Reiner and Bertolt actually had hugely important roles with the latter 2's involvements actually being subtly foreshadowed in damn good ways in season 1.

>>158134591
The first half of S1 is kinda meh, the second half is great, especially the last couple episodes. S2 is pretty decent so far. S1 only really suffered from crybaby Deku IMO, rest of it was good.

>>158134633
The scene animated by Yutaka Nakamura is what truly blew my fucking mind.

>>158134591
A max of two years if Murata keeps going at his current pace

>>158134614
>A fight that might actually top Boros vs Saitama
Holy fuck I'm already hype, would it be worth jumping straight to the manga now to catch up or should I wait for the anime first? Enjoyed season 1 a lot but this Garou guy's really got me excited for things to come.

>>158134633
What was /a/'s reaction to that fight episode? If it's still being heralded as one of the best animated fights in anime in general today I can only imagine how much people enjoyed it back then.

>>158134748
These people hyping up Garou are called Garoufags. They are fucking cancerous piece of shit that thinks Garou is strong just because Saitama didn't kill his edgy ass. Garou is as strong as a random S class guy.
Nothing will top Boros and that's the whole point of One Punch Man. He already killed the strongest opponent.

>>158134672
>She's actually fucking relevant?
This season is the most she'll ever do throughout the manga she was originally suppose to die there but the mangaka changed his mind.

> Just how much did the mangaka plan out from the beginning?
The story was all planned out and the "reveal" they've been building up to makes sense but it probably might not be as exciting as you'd hope to be and wonder why he dragged it out.

> I was so surprised when characters like Ymir, Christa, Reiner and Bertolt actually had hugely important roles with the latter 2's involvements actually being subtly foreshadowed in damn good ways in season 1.
Yeah its unfortunate that Christa's development won't happen until next season though and the changes made in the anime to Ymir makes sense when you consider what's going to happen in the manga so this is the most you're going to get from her.

>>158134748
Unfortunately Garou's development took a sideline for the past year while the Tournamet arc was finished up, and as far as anyone knows, S2 is only going to go up to the end of the current arc. So that means no Saitama vs Garou until S3 at least.

>>158134839
I've heard a lot about this big basement twist but no specifics as of yet, Ymir's flashback though seemed to hint at the conflict actually sort of being more human vs human, if that's the case then holy fuck I'm going to enjoy this series a lot more. Ever since the titan shifters were introduced and the morality of the series grew more and more grey my interest's been reeled in.

>>158134748
IF you can find a site with all the chapters I recommend reading all the manga has now since it won't take more than a few hours. I'd also recommend the webcomic if you really want to see why everyone loves Garou and the MA arc so much
>>158134899
I would say sidelined, it took a backseat to the more important things going on. Also there's still Garou vs WDM

>>158134834
Even if it doesn't top Boros in terms of actual strength, I'm looking forward to a spectacle. I don't mind "xfag"s either, seeing people get hyped over characters or what they particularly enjoy in a series in turn gets me hyped too, it's pretty fun actually.

>>158134799
>What was /a/'s reaction to that fight episode?

Are you really THIS much of a newfag

>>158134964
wouldn't

>>158134909
basically the series is called attack on titan because the humans inside the walls are actually the real titans and the humans outside the wall are attacking them.

>>158134909
>Ymir's flashback though seemed to hint at the conflict actually sort of being more human vs human
Give the boy a prize though honestly season 1 gave that away as well with the Annie reveal.

>>158134964
>Garou vs WDM

That was the last we saw of Garou though, and that chapter was released over a year ago, he got sidelined.

>>158122382
OPM is the actionfilled one right ;)
And BNHA is lame; its like a mexican standoff in the Midorya vs Todoroki fight. OPM has intense fights

>>158134983
Steered clear of the show for a while because I was stuck up my own ass being a contrarian and avoiding things that got popular, only took the time to watch it recently after getting into more different kinds of shows.

>>158135018
>>158135019
>It's actually human vs human conflict
Holy fuck screw the anime I can't wait anymore, what chapter did the last episode leave off on? Going to binge read this week.

>>158134378
>Garou vs All Might
Go search "saitama vs garou" on youtube and you will see how garou would rape almight

>>158134983
Maybe he just avoided OPM thread when the anime was airing.

>>158134977
The moon kick, moon jump, planet busting final move, and atmosphere splitting punch were all added in the manga. So hopefully the Garou fight gets some upgrades as well.

>>158125514
Except it literally happened last chapter

>>158135044
There are other kinds of intensity than bombastic.

BNHA:s fights are almost always ideological in nature, and that's what makes them good. It's not about the action itself, the action is there to reinforce the characters' interaction.

That's how I see it, at least. And that's what makes them good for me.

Tiger and Bunny is the better superhero anime.

BHA is just cheap perfume you buy at Daiso pretending it was those expensive cologne.

>>158135044
They have handled the fights pretty poorly so far. And Midoriya won't be interesting until he faces Muscular.

>>158132234
The heroes in bnha are much more competent

>>158135090
>what chapter did the last episode leave off on?
...here's the thing, the anime made some big changes in the latest episode the Ymir flashback doesn't appear until way later in the manga and they pushed it up to give her character some closure earlier on so it may be hard to recommend where to start reading from but if you don't care 47 or 48 is the ideal choice.

>>158134591
Bnh season 2 is boring until episode 10 (the latest episode) .
Then it get back to be boring

>>158135117
Jesus Christ, it's actually kinda cool being able to look much more forward to the upcoming events when I'm too used to series teetering off after starting pretty well. Only thing I'm having doubts about for the next anime season is how good the OP'll be, though I ended up having the same doubts with SnK season 2's one until it grew on me like hell.
>>158135223
I was kind of wondering why manga readers seemed to be flipping out about last episode, guess that explains it. Thanks anon, can't wait to be caught up.

>>158135277
S2 OP will be Jam Project again, so it should be pretty sweet.

>>158134268
You see, he slept through his alarm

>>158135319
That alone quells a lot of my fears, looking forward to the usual "wow the new OP sure does suck in comparison to the old one" comments when it happens for a while.

Though, could season 2 end on a similar note to the Boros fight? A climatic fight for the season with the OP playing during it, that shit was the hypest episode I've seen in a while when I watched it.

>>158135404
Only if they did a longer adaptation and ended in Garou fight, which would steer way past the manga.

Where the manga is currently? Not a chance.

>>158135404
>could season 2 end on a similar note to the Boros fight?

Possibly, but probably not. Like I said, nothing Boros tier happens until Garou vs Saitama.

>>158130746
>fight between a faggot and an edgy cunt

sure you're not talking about opm?

>>158135156
I like Tomuras speech in s1, but other than his point that heroes are just government lapdogs theres nothing much to it
In OPM each character has some deep backstory, but whenever things get hectic Saitama comes in and steals the show by finishing the bad guy off in an anticlimactic way, but that is the point of it.

>>158135494
Deep Sea King vs Puri-Puri Prisoner?

>>158135460
If it was say, 24 episodes would they reach somewhere where something like that potentially happens?
>>158135481
I suppose with how far it is it'd be too much to expect something like that, but I'm just wondering where they'll splurge their sakuga-budgets to death in season 2. Going to be pretty fun actually being able to watch it alongside /a/ this time though, OPMfags are a lot nicer than I presumed.

>>158135556
There are going to be waaaaay more fights in S2 than in S1, so I imagine the sakuga budget will be well used.

>>158135529
no saitama vs boros

>>158135630
Boros and Garou being roughly equal is word of god. Deal with it fgt.

>>158135556
>If it was say, 24 episodes would they reach somewhere where something like that potentially happens
Maybe, but that all depends on what they adapt and when S2 comes out

There's several fights that fit this

DSK was more edgy than Boros, and PPP is the gayest nigga in the whole show.

>>158135692
Except they do, it's used mostly for comedy except for some moments in the MA arc. Like when Genos decided to tell Saitama his entire backstory

>>158135635
>>158135675
>More fights in season 2.
As in actual battles, not one-off times where Saitama just wrecks the enemy? Fuck me season 2'll be great then.
>>158135692
I wouldn't call it deep but I do really like how some of the characters aren't as one-dimensional as they might seem. Hell even Boros to a degree was interesting for a character literally meant to just be OP as fuck.

If they cover up to where the manga is Saitama will have only have 8 "fights" 7 of which are in the sense what you'd see on a newspaper comedy section

Except it is. Genos was looking for a mad cyborg but little did he know it was him the whole time.

Don't bring me into your gay fantasies, homo.

He was just looking for a good clean fight, nothing edgy about that.

BNHA doesn't have a character as heroic as Mumen Rider.

>>158136401
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAA
Even Bakugo is more heroic than Mumen Rider. He might be angsty but he still gets the job done and there's Deku.

Bakugo is so self-absorbed and egotistical that saving people isn't even anywhere near his top priority and Deku is such a shitty MC who can't even grow up from being a hero cocksucking crybaby despite being handed the most OP quirk.

>>158125435

Defeating villains is much more important than saving random shitters.
What's the use of saving civilians when you can't defeat the villain who will just kill the civilians later anyway.

>>158122270
How good is My Hero Academia? I have the impression is just another Naruto quality thing, so I never gave it a chance.

>>158138285

You're not wrong but replace Naruto with the rape child of Eyeshield 21's Sena Kobayakawa and Hitman Reborn's Tsunayoshi Sawada as MC.

Gonna be real controversial here:
They're both pretty great in their own ways and comparing them makes little sense in most regards.

>>158138285
Best shonen I've read. And before you say anything, I have read a lot of shonen in my day.

It's basically shonen with shonen characters that are written like seinen characters for the most part. Meaning, the characters actually feel human and not just cardboard cutouts like they usually do in shonen.

capeshit lmao

>>158136401
Mumen and Deku would probably get along so well. I'd pay to see a conversation between them.

>>158122270
OPM is thematically nothing like Boku no Hero, though.

Haha I like both! :D

Honestly, I only look forward to Saitama wrecking stuff.

>>158136543
You mean the one that allowed a little girl to be hurt further because he was too scared to fight a villain stronger than him?
It wouldn't have stopped Mumen Rider at all.

>>158143612
It wasn't completely his fault. Had Mirio not been there, honestly, the situation would've played out differently.

there's no way this isn't a bait thread

>>158135189

Shame they're not cranking out more shit for it.

>>158135189
If we go there, you gotta mention Samumenco.

Shit was dope.

>>158131893
what about boros then? Did you consider him? He spent 20 yrs searching for someone ( maybe more ) and all he get is someone that isn't even using any power. He uses everything even risking to kill himself by energ overuse and this enemy is just toying with him. He left his planet/homeplace/family and every thing he had for that fight and he got nothing. He sacrified everything and died at the end without having his dream fullfilled. Hell in the planet Earth nobody even knows him, nobody saw his power, nobody can tell what a formidable enemy he was, he died alone without anybody watching.
When you read a book do you wait for the film so you can visualize the "emotion" or you can grasp it by the words written in it.

>>158141245
i don't. mumen rider is someone who has nothing, no money and no real strength but still tries to do his best to save other people life while in academia we have someone who basically has the 'avatar state' power but only the physical part and is mostly undecisive in using his power. The reason why all might gave deku his quirk was because for a moment deku behave like mumen rider. lol

>>158145684
It's different to have arguably emotional background versus having explicit emotional investment.

Boros' tragedy is an afterthought to many, something they realize at 2am when they go get some midnight snack or something. I doubt that many people cried when Boros died, because even his struggles were just set up, in the end, as just another tally in the tragedy that is Saitama. It wasn't delved into, it was another of Saitama's "Just condense your backstory to 10 or less words" in the end. He himself told him to shut up and come at him, because he didn't care.

And in the end, Boros was a genocidal villain who probably killed entire planets worth of species just to fulfill his lust for blood. That's not... Something you want to get emotionally invested to.

You were supposed to feel for Todoroki in the latest episode. You were supposed to feel the hope he gains from Deku's, and by proxy, his mother's words. You're supposed to understand why he does what he does. I know it was another mid-battle flashback thing, but unlike in regular shonen where it's there just for exposition, this time it had a purpose, because it showed us why Deku's words worked.

>>158146540
But Deku still does act like Mumen Rider all the time. If Mumen Rider had One for All, he would act extremely similarly in the end. Though it might not come through as strong if you haven't read the manga, because holy hell is Deku nutty in a similar way as Mumen Rider is.

>>158143804
Yeah he would have died

>>158146686
>explicit emotional investment
Did you even watch the final boros vs saitama or am i arguing with someone that has no clue. The last part of the battle when he said he was no match for saitama wtf do you think it meant.

Now for the other part you wrote. Saitama reaction was in general against characters with deep sad background story.
Take any other shounen except db and tell me in which one there isn't a fight with emotional investment. If you watched one piece, the fight between luffy and usopp for the boat (going merry) had more but exponentially more feelings than this battle where the mc and the other character didn't even talked that much until the start of the fight and suddendly every word from one can change the other.
Even more there is the abuse of the "you are very hurt why u no surrender" " bcuse i have to change you" and at last " i finalli understood I was dumb thr wholly tume" used basically in every shounen. Now if you are involved emotionally with a sad family abuse story you tend to not notice these things.
Saitama is against this bullshit because at last it won't add to the battle itself anything. The thriller of the battle should be the battle not the narration ( abused shounen ) between it.

For the mumen part again, deku is not like him at all. The only reason why he is damaging himself is because he knows that he can be healed, in fact never before meeting all might we know of such extreme things done by him. The only moment in which he behaved like mumen was the one i already mentioned you.

>>158150736
not him but I can just sum that up to style and not substance

>>158150876
maybe read carefully then

>>158135397
He's up now.

>>158133731
At least he survived. Which is pretty lucky, all things considered.

>>158151842

>>158151874
Heroes don't die, everyone else is fair game, and even that might change

>>158141812
well fuck you dude

>>158146540
Giving his power to Deku was a really stupid decision if you think about it. Someone like Todoroki with OfA on top of his op quirk would be such a beast. Sure Deku is heroic there's other candidate which are heroic and strong.

>>158122382
The "satire" aspect of OPM falls apart when they actually spend a bunch of time having these big fights between characters until they tell the punchline of Saitama resolving everything in an anticlimax
It's about as much of a satire of superheroes as Deadpool is

>>158138772
That kind of tempts me. I'm not sure if I've ever finished a long-running shonen simply because it feels like the characters and their dynamics fall into the same archetypes, recycled conflicts, and jokes ad nauseam.

>>158156134
do it Alan, its got doodies.
