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.

Does anyone know, when there will be new OPM WEB comic or the Anime season 2? The brake there is already pretty long... :/
I don't know what ONE's plan is for the webcomic anymore tbh. He draws storyboards for the manga and gives them to Murata. He also has his own more full-time series in Mob Psycho as well. So he might just help Murata from now on mostly. I mean the manga is basically a revised version of the webcomic anyways, considering he collaborates and writes a lot of the new material on it.
Season 2 is coming out sometime in 2018. I don't think there is any specific time though.

Well, that would be shame. I love Mob Psycho 100, but OP man webcomic is just.... I dont know... Sometimes I think I like the webcomic more than the manga made by Murata. :D Ye, it may seems silly, but considering the style that ONE is using, and the stuff that is (and was) left out from the original, when it went to the manga itself, I think the format of webcomic seems more sutiable for the superhero spoof, it is.
Like... most of the crazzy stuff going on seems to have bigger impact in the webcomics, since it looks weird in the first place... More to say so, if you take in consideration that the poor drawing force the autor to make the dialogue stand out more. The Murata´s manga in contrast is so well made, its like visual orgasm at every page, so when you look at it, the smart dialogue doesnt stand out all that much.
Considering the anime at 2018, I am little worried about the fact, that it wont be made by MADHOUSE. They did hit it spot on... the Anime from the studio that is now responsible for season 2 in my opinion is little on the "not so great" side of things. :/

As I said... It would be a shame, to loose the original web comic format. :)

I get where you're coming from. I think the webcomic obviously really launched OPM unexpectedly, so the fans that started with that are always gonna have a soft spot for it (or just prefer that format). Personally, I feel like the manga filling out the content can only really be a good thing. The webcomic has charm, and props to ONE for being able to get fans so engaged in a hobby of his (as ironic as that is lol), but Murata and him are definitely polishing this up to what a big-time comic should be IMO. The other issue is that the webcomic is just too rarely updated. Murata is gonna pass it at some point with that pace, so overall, ONE focusing on his actual job (Mob Psycho), and just helping Murata out is far more efficient for him.

Sadly I think it is very likely the OPM anime in season 2 will not be what it was in season 1. Still will be good I imagine, but it is not gonna have that same level of quality. Kinda sucks of course, but the manga has such good art that I don't miss too much haha.

Well, since Mob Psycho 100 is about to end within 1 or 2 chapters form now (if the current one wasnt already last chapter).... I would say, that there will be more room for the One punch man webcomic to move forward. :)

Solid chapter imo.
Lots of setup for the upcoming main event with some good humor added in as always.
Curious as to what happened with Drive Knight. He is a new inclusion in this arc from the webcomic (he has done nothing there), so that should be interesting.
The bit with Saitama's squad at the end was great. Love how relaxed they are in this situation. Not that I would expect anything less from them.
I don't expect this private squad this guy has to do much of anything. Probably just gonna get destroyed right away, but I guess it gives us time to see more of the monsters and laugh while it happens lol.

The world is about to colapse and Saitama is trying to get tips of how strengthen his pokemon with King, a very humored chapter, and he still is clueless about Garou, lol. Every time Fubuki visits that house there's a new S-class around and poor Genos will be out of action for a while.

Bofoy's robot was destroyed by the king of monsters and he already gave up, and what happened to Driven Knight?

If my memory didn't trick me, those battle suits at the end of the chapter are the enhanced version of the battle suits that were stolen from that bald gang at the start of the manga, right? (The chapters in which Sonic is introduced). I wonder if the power boost of the suits will help the taking down a monster to hype it and get trashed later by a stronger monster or if they won't even have a change to test the suits.

Saitama going to hunt is rather serious. I don't think he will find Garou but he'll be able to deal with any threats. On the other hand, if Orochi is at Z-City, he will be one of the few ones missing. So it's to add more tension?

Lot of different things from the webcomic in this arc. I don't know where it's going anymore to be honest. It's going to be a bit longer before we reach the climax, but I'm liking the new direction so far.

If Fubuki go out with Saitama, maybe we can see Tatsumaki vs Saitama :derp
It's time for Fubuki to know that her sister is not the most powerful and it's time for Tatsumaki to know how powerful her sister's friend is !

I wonder who will be the last boss, Garou in monster transformation or Orochi?
Maybe the loss of Orochi will make Garou go wild to revenge for monster.
Or...maybe it's opposite, that Garou will know how cruel monsters are from seeing Orochi then Orochi will be the last boss on this arc.

I am not sure those are the same suits. The previous ones were very bulky and looked a lot different. Though it is possible the robots that found Hammerhead got to the suits before anyone else after Sonic killed all the guys wearing them, and then upgraded them. Either that or they just made more, and somehow this guy got his hands on them lol.

I don't think anything drastic is going to change with this arc, to be honest. I think Murata is mostly just fleshing out events. In the webcomic, we got no explanation for why Metal Bat, Watchdog Man etc did not appear in this big arc for example. He also added the tournament as well, but I think that was mostly just to parody that type of arc, and give Saitama something to do in the meantime haha. I know we have some new characters, Orochi being the biggest one, but I don't see ONE/Murata taking the risk of diverging too much with how well received this arc was in the webcomic.

I'm just hoping for more Saitama and Tatsumaki hilarity.

No matter who shows up first those villains are so screwed. Possibly that hostage too.:XD

I'm not sure I would characterize anything Saitama has done, or will ever do, as serious.

It isn't drastic, but we're definitely on a little detour compared to the webcomic.

I like the way the missing characters in One's version get some sort of explanation for their lack of presence. And the detours in One+Murata's version are entertaining and add some substance to the story.
I do wonder what happened to Drive Knight, or maybe rather what he's actually doing/planning. I don't trust those who know someone's got a certain specific revenge going on and throws vague suspicions towards another their way. Feels too much like manipulation there. And he just so happens to lose contact in a monster organization, of all things. If he actually was defeated, then okay, he'll simply remain under doubt in my book, but if he just pops up somewhere without a scratch saying his device suddenly stopped working ... get yourself ready to hang in my mind, my man.

Also, One's site got a new cover. Saitama has a dog more suited to his strength. :derp Prelude to a chapter update, or only a teaser saying "hi, I'm still alive"?
