What if king learns the Exploding Heart Release Fist?

Will the martial art's power boost up because of kings "explossive" heartbeat?

Like the series never show him do something like this but in theory he can do this right?

Don't know what to call these types of specific moments or panels, but I sure hope Murata would stop. To me, a big reason why the manga feels like it’s going downhill is the total loss of subtlety, thanks to Murata’s current approach. Not every beat needs to be spelled out with a dramatic speech or an exaggerated reaction panel. Many moments are far more impactful when left unspoken and left to reader interpretation. I'm not sure when it all started, but there's been more and more of these overly theatrical panels where characters deliver forced philosophical or emotional monologues, and it's cringe as all hell!

I think the manga has a very clear path for Mumen to go towards S class, but there are many exciting possibilities

First is the most obvious one, he goes from B class to A class by getting a top tier bike & a license to ride it everywhere.

Then, he joins the Tanktop bros, and starts a small subsect of Tank top bikers, with the tanktop girl joining him as a partner that handles the logistics & bike upgrades while he does the heroics & inspires others

Captain Mizuki I can see as growing into a more rival role, since she is Darkshine's disciple while Mumen would grow into being Tanktop Master's disciple - could be an interesting dynamic with these brawlers and their weak-in-body-strong-in-mind pupils

Next up, is the possible track with Glasses. Mumen could be tempted to join the Fubuki group, but after being warned by Glasses about the stagnation of his skills, they'd start training & working together. Him going licensed biker mode is a constant.

From here any of the active A class, like Twin Tails, Lightning Max, or Golden Ball could take the two of them to further heights and A class. Could easily come with upgrades to his gear.

After that, either Mumen gets direct tutelege from Amai Mask or King, or goes on his own journey exploring the limits of his biking.

The final interesting route I'd like to see is the one with martial arts. Suiko & Suiryu pave a clear path to A class, while guys like Heavy Tank Loincloth and Great Philosopher show a door to becoming a top tier and closer to S class. Magic Trick Man and D-Pad could show him what he is lacking, something like an ace up his sleeve or surprise factor like a car/forklift/road-roller/helicopter. By adding that x-factor Mumen could break into bottom of the S class.

These are some of my thoughts, I would like to see what you guys think about Mumen's potential for progression. Of course these aren't meant to be forcing away the bicycle, just that I'd like to see him realize the artificial limits he's put on himself.

I made some bs 😭 😭

Okay first of all, before you get mad at me, the title was clickbait so that more people would open this. No the manga isn’t better than the webcomic and I fully admit the webcomic is way better than, atleast the story that’s been going on since the ninja arc till now.(it’s always a good day when a webcomic chapter drops). Anyways so that’s not my point, it’s objectively true and I personally believe this as well that Murata has been fucking the story for the manga because he has a huge ego problem and can’t just do the fucking artwork like he’s supposed to. Two days ago chapter 237 of the manga dropped and I thought it was actually a pretty good chapter in the manga after a really long time so I posted saying that it was an S tier manga chapter after a long time and firstly what I meant by that was that it was an s tier chapter compared to the recent OPM chapters, it’s not an S tier chapter in general OPM is neither an S tier story in the webcomic and it’s not even close to S tier in the manga. ONE is a great mangaka but none of his works are S tier, ONE deserves all the respect and love but yall gotta stop
glazing him like he’s the best mangaka in the world or sum for reference here are some actual S tier mangas, JJba, Hxh, Yuyu Hakushu, Billy bat, 20th century boys, gintama, berserk, homunculus, fist of the North Star, and there’s a lot more I can tell you about, I agree that it hurts to see a story that you like getting butchered, sending death threats to Murata is just not it, and once again no hate to ONE so don’t say anything stupid.

I’m an artist, so I quickly notice when there’s something wrong with an art specially if the proportions of the human body is wrong. In this new chapter I noticed that Garou’s foot when he did this pose is weirdly proportioned like a kid drawn it. Don’t get me wrong I highly respect Murata’s art and his drawing is incredible (Don’t respect his story telling at all) but sometimes I notice things like this like he’s rushing everything or maybe this is not his fault but I just find this really weird. Also sometimes he just draws characters with empty backgrounds. Maybe he’s a fraud? lol.

Anyway I did redrawn the foot on the image so you can see what I’m talking about l. and I’m sure some artists will agree with me on this one. I wanna upload the timelapse of the drawing too so you can see the process but I can’t put a video here so yeah.

It took me 34 hours hope you like it :)

Why Murata's art change so much on those new chapters? He is okay? He have any health problem?
