Is One-Punch Man's final episode the most perfect "universe" set up ever?
- Thread starter Merv
- Start date
Most perfect? not likely, but i do say it's very good as to keep the balance between the more "serious" plot element and Saitama's gag powers, shows you the author has good ideas of how to make a show about an invincible all powerful superhero be interesting, Saitama's ridiculous gag strength had distracted us from the fact that a lot of S-Rankers are fucking monsters in terms of their power, it keeps everything fresh as you realize around Saitama there is a fascinating world.
I'll throw an One Piece example in here, Episode 392, the one where the Supernova were first introduced:
This is where I lose interest. 400 episodes... I don't have the time or the inclination to watch so many episodes of one thing. Nothing could possibly be that good.
Macross Plus....that's the one with the android singer right?
I REALLY didn't like that one for certain reasons lol. Got me out of anime for a bit.
But reading all about OPM makes me super excited to watch it when the Blu-ray collection comes to my house soon!

You'd be wrong :P
That's said, the manga's better and faster anyways.
Oh yea, that was a really good episode.
We'll never get there.
Ahh the webcomic.
We haven't had a single webcomic page in what must be nearly a year now.
The manga has been going full speed though, and I imagine One is working full time on drafts for Murata to help that happen.
While I have you here, is the manga past the
psychic sisters fight where saitama ends up stepping in
I'll wait until it gets to there before hopping on the murata manga train
Uh context? How did it define anything, I haven't seen one pieceif we're talking about 'world building' gonna have to give that to One Piece. Something used in very first episode/chapter wasn't explained for another 500+ episodes/chapters (more than 10 years after the series started) which then defines how the rest of OP plays out in terms of battles/techniques.
In that picture, the dude is using an advanced form of power called 'haki' to save the main character from a monster. We don't really hear about this power for another 10 years (actual years, not story time) after this happens except for little hints here and there and when it's finally explained the entire series takes 'power levels' to another level.
Basically the creator took the time and effort to make a transformation like 'super saiyan' not bullshit.
Breh those characters aren't even slightly the main bulk of one piece, in fact they're unplanned and were created inside the arc they were introduced unlike a lot of One Piece characters. The world building of one piece starts right from the beginning.
No, the manga is just now getting into
The Monster Association fight. Everyone just jumped down into the sewers so all the S-class heroes still have to do thier individual match ups before the end of that arc even begins
Probably some time in the next year as it's been announced for a while now
I dont think so, if you just go off of the anime, Hunter X Hunter's final episode sets up the world a lot better. 148 episodes, one of the best finishings for a bad guy ever, an election that helps flesh out the current world, then
Think it was a pretty good setup.
you find out that the whole world that has been built is just a small piece of an even bigger world that has threats much worse then what we saw up to that point, the Dark Continent
Think it was a pretty good setup.
Ahhh I might just start reading the manga now then. Considering how hype the final fight in that arc was in the webcomic. Thanks mate
I have a question and I guess this is the best place to ask: in the episode with the meteor (7, I think) they mention a couple of times that something changed the course of the meteor, but it's never suggested what. Did I miss something, do we find out or is it not brought up again? I can't see it being Boros' ship as that doesn't seem like their style and they don't show up for another few episodes.
That's why you gotta read the manga instead. You could probably go through 10 chapters in ~30 minutes. If you do that once a day for 90 days, you're caught up.

OP
God yes. I meant final episode of season one, but I hope the second season explores the Rank S characters more.
Silver Fang alone was a big reveal. It's cliche, but they managed to surprise me with the "reveal" of Silver Fang's power. Each of the heroes fighting Melzargard stepped up their game/evolved a little bit in that fight or at least revealed more and more power as necessary.
The decision to have Melzargard de-arm Iaian with one shot, but then later show Silver Fang take a full shot and comeback stronger was great.
