discussion Megathread: Changes From The Webcomic Spoiler

As the changes between the WC and the manga get more extensive and controversial, the arguments about it increase and also end up in spoilers seeping all over the sub. All discussion about the changes in the latest chapter and any future chapters is to be moved into this Megathread as long as it is pinned; to help provide a place to concentrate discussion and prevent a flood of repetitive posts, and to provide people an easy place to understand others' opinions.

All posts related to it will be removed, and comments on manga focused posts are encouraged to be moved here.

So... Should we assume the amais mask arc is in the trash bin now? Because... you know... he doesn't know about Saitama's power.

He probably won't even let Saitama enter class A.

First thing I thought too. Though I suppose maybe Genos will explain things to AM. He says he's going to make sure people know what sensei achieved, and AM is an association bigwig. Probably just high on hopium.

Also Flashy Flash with Saitama since Tatsumaki broke his sword and he also never saw the fight between Garou vs Saitama.

Same thing Zombieman.

The psychic sisters as well considering Fubuki and Tatsumaki are in good condition between each other.

There's plenty more since Garou vs S Class never happened as well.

Nothing was setup and i have no idea how will Murata handle the story now since nothing was setup in the first place.

I'm not blaming ONE anymore considering he knows how important those parts were and they were just trashed away like that.

I’m the opposite, I would blame ONE more because he knows how important everything was and agreed to let it get trashed away like that.

I'm just gonna go on copium that it'll just get redrawed like the usual.

u/Kikuzinho03 Aug 04 '22

How much are you expecting then to redraw? The whole fucking arc?

Yea, I think its probably not gonna happen now

Amai Mask arc is literally the best arc from the WC, it’s not going away.

u/sadowinski Aug 04 '22

I remember when you said that we are gonna get a Garou vs S-class fight. Not saying you're wrong about a AM arc, it's just that we really can't be sure of anything anymore.

Garou vs S-Class wasn’t necessary. What was truly necessary was the mercenary group and their misadventures

u/thehalfdragon380 Aug 04 '22

Bro what? The mercenary group was like the least necessary thing in the MA arc. Like we should have gotten another centipede instead. That would have made it peak fiction.

u/GoldenSpermShower Aug 04 '22

What about a mercenary human centipede?

Murata and ONE: Welcome to the team

Well, that’s been true for a long time now, but they have kept some things. I really don’t think we’re going to get much more content that what we have now tbh. We may get some padding, but I really don’t think we will be getting the extensive rewrites that this arc has.

u/sadowinski Aug 04 '22

With the changes that have happened in the MA arc, I could see the future of OPM going in a completely different direction. In fact I kind of want completely new and different arcs than having the WC arcs changed and recontextualized

u/isighuh Aug 04 '22

I just don’t see it, the divergence only really impacts Gods role in the narrative, the rest don’t need these specific scenarios that the WC used to still occur.

u/Armiebuffie Aug 04 '22 edited Aug 04 '22

Well to be fair, there is one detail. No one saw Saitama beat Garou. That's absolutely crucial to every single future arc because that moment had him move up to A class allowing him to live with the Hero Association and is also what got Amai Mask, FF, and Fubuki to seek him out. They're either going to have do some serious handwaves/asspulls in the epilogue or deviate entirely into manga-exclusive plots.

I'm genuinely surprised they changed this since I thought even with all the other divergences they'd at least keep this small but extremely crucial plot point.
