@codetaku Damn right you are! Finally Black Sperm in action!

 

[Sancturil]

@Xunder What's your profile picture from?
@Ninjafoo Same question, what's your profile picture from?

@Winzent omg... It'd indeed be even more hilarious if it was a Monty Pyton Black Knight reference like you said. He's invincible, no matter how much you cut it, and will never be done fighting.

 

[Sancturil]

@codetaku Except that all of the things in the manga that weren't in the web novel were written in by ONE. The only thing Murata does in the manga is the art. ONE does everything else, that is to say the new story points, the new characters(personality, backstory and base overall design), the battle choreography, the new dialogues, etc.

BLACK SPERM!

Garou is badass and all, but some of the Monster Association's top brass are pretty cool too.

while we always see comments of people saying they don't like Murata's ver more than the One's ver
here I want to point out one nice thing I like about Murata's version that is not in the webcomic: it's the relationship between heroes

the story bit that is recently aired in the anime shows a hero that spites the S class meanwhile in this chapter, we have a hero that admires the S classes. Something like that makes them not just a one-dimensional background cast. There is also an ongoing theme of teamwork vs individual strength that is shown between S classes and A classes. I myself particularly like how fleshed out child emperor in this version showing not only his strength but also his way of learning, his concern of the S class team relationship, his growing distrust of the 'adults'...

wait that's not one thing, isn't it? well maybe I am more into character interaction driven story rather than an overarching story that people seems to prefer from an action manga

Well I didn't see the end of this series coming so soon, but it had a good run

 

[gigabarto]

man, black sperm is the best monster by far!

 

[jonsmth]

Wait, "Child Emperor" (童帝) is pronounced "doutei" (どうてい)?

A virgin pun?

 

[Borderline]

He animated a crow and smokes?

Holy hell, He might be able to animate what what he would like to now.

I wonder if he make that GIF to compensate low pages or he just want to makes it as he likes.

 

[Dinkelberg]

Finally, they are keeping the canon shit.

 

[Kiriha]

Oh noes Magatsu.

 

[kagi92]

Oh no Atomic Samurai is about to be covered in Black Sperm

 

[mutsutakashi]

Blacked Samurai

 

[darax]

Yeah see saitama unroyal hecman no 1

 

[Qelix]

Who was also reminded of Roger Myer's Scratchtasia by this chapter?

@GalladeGuy

Black Sperm is great

Try white sperm, it's ever better ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@pesimus
This is a good point, but narrative-wise, for every little nice thing the manga brings to the table, it endlessly dilutes the storytelling with tiring, redundant, largely inconsequential battles and encounters so much more. For example, do you remember how many times the monster cells in the manga? Four times: at the martial arts tournament, in the Hero Association HQ, at Atomic Samurai's meeting with his acquaintances, and once more with Sonic and the Ninja Village alumni. Why couldn't it have been cut to at most two instances, considering only one of them actually mattered long-term? The entire martial arts tournament is just a waste of time for everyone; the jokes aren't even good, the twists are cliche as fuck, and none of the new characters matter (we will most likely never see them again). Most of Garou's hero hunting is also glorified filler. The only entirely new fight that had narrative consequences for his character is the bout with Watchdog Man (which, ironically, happened offscreen—while less important fights were drawn in full).

So it's not so much "more character-interaction-driven" as it is just having more of everything—but not equally so; most of the new content doesn't actually flesh out any prominent characters. I mean it's just my opinion, but I would've sacrificed most of it readily for tighter, more dynamic, less shounen-y storytelling and I can argue at length—and have done so elsewhere—as to why it would've resulted in a superior reading experience. I love OPM and I consider the webcomic one of the sharpest and most interesting character studies ever written in the superhero fiction genre; the manga mainly works to turn it into just another good shounen action series (and don't get me started on the anime).
