I haven posted anything for some time and would like to know how the info that comes from the original and hasn't being already relealed in the redrawn version is handled here? I haven't read the original comic and don't want to read spoilers. Please. Thanks in advance.
As ONE's series is ahead of Murata's please simply label and include any discussion regarding the Webtoon in spoiler tags.

I genuinely thought watchdog was saitama for a sec there. That was a pretty nice and long chapter. Glad the tournament is down to the semis and we also got to see other S-classes in action. Drive Knight was pretty cool..I like him already. Garou vs Watchdog is certainly going to be epic. I wonder who would win..Garou has indeed spent time watching and analyzing Watchdog, but watchdog takes the mysterious beings out so easily that it's likely he still has a thing or two he can do.

Nice chepter and a lot of S class heroes.
2 more for Saitama and he can go back killing bosses like usual. I wonder if anyone from them will be some king of danger to rest of S class.

This was a pretty good chapter (OPM basically never is bad imo hahaha), however we did not see any of the big fights we have all been waiting for so i will give it a 7.0 (good).

So i gotta say i am liking how Murata is continually breaking a common shonen trend with how he is showing off most of these MA creatures he has introduced. He could have easily off paneled them like so many do, but instead he is taking the time to show them off. :super Hundred-Eyes Octopus is up this time, and we see a new hero "Bone Bone"..... smh i remember seeing this guy one time a while back and being like "wtf?":loool This guy was hilarious with his drinking of milk to power up, only to subsequently get smashed LOL. I was dying when Death Gatling crawls out of the rubble, only to say "I hid myself in some debris, and waited to gather battle power". I always love the parts where you have these badass characters and they basically admit to doing ridiculous things while stone faced lol. All the A class heroes that came looked like jokers, but then again what is new in this manga right? The end was the most hype though with how Flashy Flash arrives and goes in by himself to take down the creature. This guy is HYPE, and i cannot wait to see more of him in action. I imagine he takes down Hundred-Eyes Octopus next chapter, or i suppose we could switch scenes again... I just wanna see Watchdog Man fight is that so much to ask?! Hahaha but i really am liking this arc so far so whichever route Murata takes this i am content with, he has given me absolutely no reason to doubt him whatsoever. :verily

Still no Watchdog Man, but this chapter was good.

The gap between Tatsumaki and the other S-class Heroes(besides Blast) is so wide. I am always impressed when I see her abilities.

exactly my feelings. :emocat this chapter was pretty hype for Tatsumaki, but remembering watchdog man, Garou, Gouketsu, Suiryu, and others in the last few chapters makes me wish the focus will go back to them.

I really like Flashy flash this chapter though. Damn OP Tatsu. Could have seen Flashy Flash special move if she didn't intervene. :nah

also curious if that one-eyed monster will do anything. saying things like "it might be necessary for me to take her on" got me thinking it's pretty strong and might have psychic powers like Tatsumaki or can resist psychic power.

So the first half of this chapter posted a little over a week or so back was still fun but this truly brought the hype. I shall give this one a 8.0(very good). No Watchdog Man this time though....The suspense is absolutely killing me to see him fight! :arf

Flashy Flash was a total badass, but as we all know Demon threats are legit and even he could not kill one super easily (though this is likely because of how huge this thing is and durable). I was looking forward to seeing his special move, that imo would have done in the creature. However of course he does not show it this time as he is interrupted by Tatsumaki.

The part where she raises the Hundred-Eyes Octopus up off the ground was god tier artwork as usual from Murata. I gotta say also that these are the chapters that remind me why this is a seinen, the gore was real in this one. Of course other shonen also have gore but that was crazy her squeezing this thing to a pulp. Say what you will about how annoying or bitchy she is at times, but this chick is a straight badass and is one of the biggest savages in this series. :hip

Loved how Flashy Flash yelled back at Tatsumaki, he is so prideful and even her powers do not intimidate him. His badass design as well as his personality have me liking this dude already lol. We get another glimpse at the MA leaders, and it seems like they are still not worried despite many of their Demon threats falling to the S class one by one. I still find The Monster King to be very interesting and it's hinted that they can just keep making Mysterious Beings in some unknown way. Plus i may be wrong but i noticed Metal Knight's robot getting the last panel, and it seemed like it was active. I imagine this is how they will find the lair of the MA. All this has me super hyped as per usual from OPM, now if we can get some Watchdog Man vs Garou up in here i will be truly happy. :super

Amazing. I just love King and the circumstances behind his character and perceived strength; the way in which the whole thing unfolds with just dialogue and coincidence is what makes this so great. :XD

New chapter is out: http://mangastream.com/r/onepunch_man/069/3882/1
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---
That was a very fleshy chapter. Atomic Samurai certainly lived up to his name by taking out monsterized Haragiri. I wonder how strong the others are. If that was Monster Hara's best after assuming a stance and attacking an off guard Atomic, it really isn't anything. The old guy seemed to be rather powerful but he probably isn't all that compared to most of the S-class. The monster heart is also rather interesting. Won't be surprised to see a bunch of others especially low class heroes fall to that tbh. Atomic is right to go after them first, but he should've informed the Hero Association. It was also a nice bonus to be done with the semis. Of course, Saitama was always going to best any of his opponents, but I'm rather excited for Sui vs Saitama and the conclusion of the tournament. It would probably get interrupted though...

Did Bushidrill always look this cool? He overshadows Atomic Samurai :XD.

There are Monsters strong enough to beat S class Heroes like Metal Knight in this association :o.

I hope the next chapter will start directly with the final.

Cover was amazing :hearts:hearts:hearts

Thank God that tournament is coming to an end.

Wonder when we'll see Garou fighting Watch Dog?

I've just found OPM thread!
The most remarkable quote of the chapter to me was: 'It's senseless to try and hold duels with one who has strayed from the true path'.
A hero shouldn't go and say that, unless monsters and evildoers are in the true path too!

I've a question: Why it was stated something different with Charanko (supposedly) style when everybody knows he's Silver Fang's disciple?

Saitama's yawn was too much, just saying boring could fit.

Anyway, it was better than previous chapters, the talk in the council and the monsters cells was splendid.

Saitama most likely wrote the technique wrong on the form.

But yeah, this chapter was epic. Atomic Samurai is pretty cool. I didn't think much of him before, but this was actually a good showing of the character and his little world.

The fight with Suiryu's probably going to get interrupted.

This was a really good chapter; as a fan of samurais and swordsmanship in general, it was good to see so many in here and give Atomic Samurai some good screen time.

If anyone is familiar with Vagabond, I've just realised that Bushidrill looks awfully similar to Ito Ittousai from that series, but with much more exaggerated eyebrows.

I also do hope we begin with the finals on the next chapter. And though its bound to be interrupted, let there be some exchanges at least. I am curious though how much the mangaka will allow us to see of this fight; will Suiryu be someone that Saitama will be searching to fight again after these monster attacks are over?

I'm sure there'll be an exchange between the both of them. We'll get a hint at Suiryu's standing below Saitama at the least.

I'm thinking that...

ONE Webcomic Spoilers:

Suiryu is going to come back as a member of that new hero group that came up after the monster association was beaten.
