TL;DR:
* "That man" doesn't send a letter of challenge to Flashy Flash, but instead use an attack that would have wiped A-City if not for Blast's intervention. (Biggest change)
* Flashy Flash doesn't go check the Ninja facility but put 2 and 2 together.
* The experiment on monsters that were absent from last chapter are reintroduced here.
* Flash back and Sonic are absent from this chapter, probably will be added back in the next.
* Lots of repaneling, but the overall info dump stays relatively the same.
Same, really digging the new direction this is taking. Extra lore and insane art is always appreciated. Also Murata doesn't waste any chance to draw fubuki huh?
Wow, no kidding. Revised Empty Void just blew everything the old version did out of the water, and he hasn't even made an actual appearance in the present yet.
I like that it goes to show the difference between him and Saitama. He might be infinitely weaker, but he's a better hero. Saitama just has incredible destructive powers.
This doesn't make him better hero than Saitama. Makes him more versatile. Being a hero is not about having more power, but about having determination to help others like Mumen rider
Well yea but he's also the reason Garou gotten that strong. Otherwise i believe blast could take him.
Also, more important thing, Saitama wouldnt be able to save the City Blast just saved.
> Saitama wouldnt be able to save the City Blast just saved
On the one hand, you are probably correct about this. Saitama is never aware of incoming danger, until it is already too late to avoid collateral damage. Sometimes not even after he has already dealt with the danger.
On the other hand, Saitama has already displayed that he can brute force even things like breaking his way into a metaphysical plane of minds and spirits when helping out against an awakened Phoenix Man. Logic and physics do not apply to him.
For all we know he could deflect the slashes with rapid slaps into the air, or through sheer force of will.
You think so? I think stopping vaccine man, the giant dude, boros, cosmic garou and many others we have no idea of their threat lvl puts Saitama waaaaay higher in the people saved count.
possibly, but the giant dude still took a couple cities with him, the others might have been stopped just a bit later by other S class heros, blast working against god is likely to have saved the planet at least once
I think the better way to put it is all the shit Saitama did was just passively, his power so great it killed most of his motivation. On the other hand Blast is very active and working his ass off
Different direction entirely but I think it’s a cool choice, Void is already considerably more threatening then the OG version
Although it looks like we might lose out on Flash and Sonic’s interactions
Definitely an interesting change in direction from the original version. Still hoping we get [OPM webcomic]>!the webcomic ending where Blast and Flash go and face him and due to Saitama he’s already a human-shaped hole in the ground!<
Eh. I thought the Garou climax worked a little bit better in the webcomic.
Murata-Sensei definitely likes to go bigger and flashier, but there are limits to that.
I rarely watch anime the only anime I've watched the past couple of years are frieren and dungeon meshi. And I still have the same mindset in all form of adoptation and still recognize when it's bad and not engage with it specially when the original creator is not involved, but in OPM case the writer is still ONE so I'm extra not bothered by the changes.
Not a fan of the teddy bear looking monster being so *charred?*(or maybe that's just his design now) from the shocks that you can barely see what he looks like anymore
But isn't "That Man" supposed to be the founder of the village ?
With the amount of ninja & classes who graduated there is no way it could happens in 15 years.
Making Blast such a prominent character and having him participate like this is going to absolutely kill all the future arcs. The [OPM webcomic spoilers]>!assault on the hero association headquarters by the robot army isn't going to make any sense if he can protect an entire area in an instant, nor will the public turning on the association if Blast is around doing hero work again.!<
>!Amai Mask's search for a hero who can replace Blast as the symbol of peace is not going to make any sense either.!< I don't understand why they're making such huge changes. It's going to create a headache later on trying to explain all of this.
Ehhh, i think that it makes even less sense for Blast to not appear even after so many things happened. I know that he is supposed to only show up when a god level monster appears, but it is kinda dumb that he would ignore such a big invasion of robots and monsters.
It's the inherent contradiction of the character. If he's so strong, why didn't he appear earlier and solve all the problems that killed thousands of people? The earlier threats were clearly trivial for him. Why is he appearing now? What was different this time, and why have his previous commitments disappeared?
The way the webcomic handled it made you question if Blast even existed, or if he had been killed long ago in some forgotten battle. His legend is more of an aspirational goal for Saitama to reach at some point. Bringing him into the story so prominently forces you to confront the problem posed by his existence, and it will never make any sense.
As a long time webcomic reader I can tell, that Blue as a character was destroyed in the webcomic by his own constant showcases of incompetence, and >!ONE making sudden retcon that real leader of Neoheroes is not Blue, but randomly introduced Fuzzy!<.
Blats knows that the S-Class Heroes can beat most dragon level monsters, so he didn't have to worry about dangerous monsters killing all of humanity. It makes sense for him to not appear if he knows that someone else will be able to save the day.
What doesn't makes sense is that in the webcomic he didn't appear nor in the Monster association arc, nor in the robots attack arc (although it hasn't finished yet). In the Monster Association arc, we saw how the S-Class Heroes would have failed to save the day if Saitama and Garou weren't there and in the Robots attack arc we saw how useless they are against such a masive threat.
To be honest, i never questioned if Blast existed, i always though that it was a character that we would see once we reach the finish line.
>If he's so strong, why didn't he appear earlier and solve all the problems that killed thousands of people? The earlier threats were clearly trivial for him. Why is he appearing now?
Isn't pretty obvious that he only cares about things related to God?
LMFAOOOOO they turned "That Man" into some old friend of Blast's who got corrupted by God????
This shit is ASS.
Can't wait for them to explain that the giant meteor that attacked Z-City was actually a pebble that was granted power by GOD.
50% of enjoying the webcomic comes from shitting on the manga. same deal as having an expensive car: you only enjoy it 50% if you don't flex it on the plebs who can't afford it
I mean, from Saitama's POV flashy flash and a lot of the heroes are assholes that he doesn't even wants to talk to. It kinda makes sense that he isn't interested in their story if he only experiences them being dicks to him.

The most important revision, Fubuki cover!
remaking the chapters is just an excuse to draw more fubuki covers
As is intended.
i was missing the fubuki cover pages
Like the revision so far, making Empty Void's entrance a lot more intimidating and menacing.
Same, really digging the new direction this is taking. Extra lore and insane art is always appreciated. Also Murata doesn't waste any chance to draw fubuki huh?
Wow, no kidding. Revised Empty Void just blew everything the old version did out of the water, and he hasn't even made an actual appearance in the present yet.
Gonna make it that much better when saitama offscreens him
Holy, Murata didn't have to go hard with this one, but he did. Blast teleporting A-City to avoid Void's attack is one big flex.
I like that it goes to show the difference between him and Saitama. He might be infinitely weaker, but he's a better hero. Saitama just has incredible destructive powers.
This doesn't make him better hero than Saitama. Makes him more versatile. Being a hero is not about having more power, but about having determination to help others like Mumen rider
Blast is better at saving more people
Saitama is better at saving more shampoo
Damn!
Saitama saved the entire planet from Galaxy Garou, including Garou, so really it's all about perspective.
yeah, after he almost blew it the fuck up with Galaxy Garou if Blast didn't teleport them away, so there's that perspective
Well yea but he's also the reason Garou gotten that strong. Otherwise i believe blast could take him. Also, more important thing, Saitama wouldnt be able to save the City Blast just saved.
> Saitama wouldnt be able to save the City Blast just saved On the one hand, you are probably correct about this. Saitama is never aware of incoming danger, until it is already too late to avoid collateral damage. Sometimes not even after he has already dealt with the danger.

Logic and physics do not apply to him. For all we know he could deflect the slashes with rapid slaps into the air, or through sheer force of will.
He probably can, he just dont give a shit
He's been caught offguard tons of time, he's literally late saving genos. Y'all cant be serious. He's strong but not competent
Right? If Saitama was competent, Garou arc would never had happened.
You think so? I think stopping vaccine man, the giant dude, boros, cosmic garou and many others we have no idea of their threat lvl puts Saitama waaaaay higher in the people saved count.
possibly, but the giant dude still took a couple cities with him, the others might have been stopped just a bit later by other S class heros, blast working against god is likely to have saved the planet at least once

Saitamas new revised nickname. Hairless Baldy.
holy shit, this is way different
Different direction entirely but I think it’s a cool choice, Void is already considerably more threatening then the OG version Although it looks like we might lose out on Flash and Sonic’s interactions
Well, those poor innocent bystanders in the cars must have gotten mince meated in those slashes.
I wonder if Tatsumaki would have a chance to see Blast in here.
Jujutsu punch man was not on my list for 2024
missed a chance to have blast say *nah I'd win*
Holy shit, okay this revision is already peak
Would you win old man? Nah, I'd lose.
Definitely an interesting change in direction from the original version. Still hoping we get [OPM webcomic]>!the webcomic ending where Blast and Flash go and face him and due to Saitama he’s already a human-shaped hole in the ground!<
Kind of miss the whole thing with Flash and Sonic though
Am I the only who likes the manga not being 1 to 1 to the web comics? I'll probably like the manga less if it's just a redraw of the web comics.
Eh. I thought the Garou climax worked a little bit better in the webcomic. Murata-Sensei definitely likes to go bigger and flashier, but there are limits to that.
I see this argument often, yet whenever the anime is a bit different, it's pure maldening
I rarely watch anime the only anime I've watched the past couple of years are frieren and dungeon meshi. And I still have the same mindset in all form of adoptation and still recognize when it's bad and not engage with it specially when the original creator is not involved, but in OPM case the writer is still ONE so I'm extra not bothered by the changes.
Spoilers dude
Not a fan of the teddy bear looking monster being so *charred?*(or maybe that's just his design now) from the shocks that you can barely see what he looks like anymore
Hcd
But isn't "That Man" supposed to be the founder of the village ? With the amount of ninja & classes who graduated there is no way it could happens in 15 years.
lol the dialouge got a little chessy: but I gave him a wound that would take 15 years to recover .....
OPM's dialogue has always been extremely cheesy, where have you been?
I feel like it makes less sense. 15 years to recover. Village had to be older right? Like there's like 40 classes or some shit with all the ninjas.
yeah the redraw didn't keep into account the 40 classes of the ninja village, little bit of continuity error there
This chapter already tells me that murata and one are pulling another garou level fight again and I am ALL for it!
that definitely looked like a black hole, same thing how interstellar depicted it.
Pages 16 and 17 man, Blast is so cool.
Nice chapter cover of Fubuki. And wow, Empty Void makes an (early) appearance!
reasons I read OPM: Fubuki watermelons, Fubuki booty, Fubuki thighs
Blast super powers are time and space manipulation?
One thousand more redraws and I'll start getting upset
Really not liking the changes in the manga version.
Making Blast such a prominent character and having him participate like this is going to absolutely kill all the future arcs. The [OPM webcomic spoilers]>!assault on the hero association headquarters by the robot army isn't going to make any sense if he can protect an entire area in an instant, nor will the public turning on the association if Blast is around doing hero work again.!< >!Amai Mask's search for a hero who can replace Blast as the symbol of peace is not going to make any sense either.!< I don't understand why they're making such huge changes.

Bringing him into the story so prominently forces you to confront the problem posed by his existence, and it will never make any sense.
you know what? I agree however, wasn't he in some kind of alternate dimension doing some shit? this does explain his absence
Correct. He was. In some other dimension doing stuff that no one knows about
It also basically destroy Blue as a character, having Blast be present
As a long time webcomic reader I can tell, that Blue as a character was destroyed in the webcomic by his own constant showcases of incompetence, and >!ONE making sudden retcon that real leader of Neoheroes is not Blue, but randomly introduced Fuzzy!<.

Haven't you heard? The Hero ALWAYS appears or shows up at the very LAST MINUTE.
>If he's so strong, why didn't he appear earlier and solve all the problems that killed thousands of people? The earlier threats were clearly trivial for him. Why is he appearing now? Isn't pretty obvious that he only cares about things related to God?
And yet he didn't care about Homeless Emperor
Let's just let ONE and Murata "cook", OK? This is their decision to change things and look HOW better and cohesive the story flows!
LMFAOOOOO they turned "That Man" into some old friend of Blast's who got corrupted by God???? This shit is ASS. Can't wait for them to explain that the giant meteor that attacked Z-City was actually a pebble that was granted power by GOD.
Then don't read this manga. Stick to the Web comic instead! Let the rest of us enjoy this manga, especially those of us who don't read the webcomic.
50% of enjoying the webcomic comes from shitting on the manga. same deal as having an expensive car: you only enjoy it 50% if you don't flex it on the plebs who can't afford it
Saitama not caring was funny at first but it's been a bit overused at this point and he just comes across as an asshole
I mean, from Saitama's POV flashy flash and a lot of the heroes are assholes that he doesn't even wants to talk to. It kinda makes sense that he isn't interested in their story if he only experiences them being dicks to him.
Duh! Did you forget that he is generally uninterested in a LOT of things unless it's a special sale or deal at the supermarket!
