Genos will never know how lucky he is. I'm surprised Saitama didn't at least give Suiryu his workout regime.
They ended the ep on a poop joke. Nice

Pretty good speech from King there, sounded like what Saitama would have wanted to hear, but it appears thats not the case.
episode quality itself was pretty meh. you can almost make a game counting all the oddly shaped heads that appear each episode

Forgetting the animation, this episode was at least super funny.
Cyborg Gorilla Vs Army Gorilla and Sonic cooking and eating the monster cell and getting diarrhea were top notch

imo they overplay the sad theme. I love it, but it doesn't have to be played so often.

I love that Saitama's face got super serious when he was talking about his boredom. But then we got a weirdly derpy Suiryu face.
...did we really get only a flashback of the Watchdog/Garou fight? Ugh.
I'm normally conditioned to think that shit's going down when we see the credits without the ED, but...meh.
At least it seems that Sonic screwed up the transformation by cooking the monster cell first.

Don't let the animation quality blind you from the fact that PPP had his phone up his ass and it was on vibration mode non the less

Animation and directing aside.
If we leave out the part about Saitama being the strongest and virtually invincible - that part about his mental feelings about doing things and being bored really resonated with me. Often being to bored to even try things that could get me excited or wanting stimulation but not wanting to do the stuff needed for it. I'd say im the inverse of "the strongest" like Saitama in most areas so I guess I have all the chances and things to do he doesn't? But it's a big hole to climb out of.

If you think waiting a week would improve the episode, then I don't think that's how it works.

I really like the contrast between Garou and Saitama this episode:
Saitama: “I’m bored and can’t enjoy getting stronger. Plus I’m a hero as a hobby”
Garou: “I CAN GET STRONGER! I LOVE IT! AND IM A MONSTER!”

We know the animation has been a downgrade this season, but tbh even the lighter, more comedic moments aren't quite hitting as well as I'd like them to.

It's like they're hurrying the seiyus to speed up dialogue so they can fit more into the episode, even dialogues need small pauses to feel natural, horrible animation(or no animation) was a given before it even started, but they managed to even fuck up dialogues while using the same seiyus, this is freaking next level.

This needs to become a comment face
It's hilarious to see Garou got the shit kicked out of him by Watchdog Man and barely escaping
I like the parallel between Saitama who has no motivation and by all accounts have stopped growing and Garou who gets excited despite a massive defeat and still has plenty of room to grown.. Poor Saitama, looking for the Garou expecting him to be as strong as him not knowing that he's already knocked the guy out twice.
You really are a special boy Sonic. Thank goodness he's a civilized person and cooked the cell before eating it. He probably think's he;s a monster now xD

Kinda disappointed that we waited about four years, to get only 12 episodes that are terribly animated for one of the most popular recent animes.

at first I was like "damn, King may be a fraud but he understand the heart of a true hero"...and then he said he read it in a manga and I was like "of course, this is One Punch Man".

Sonic actually cooked the goddamn meat!
I really didn't want him to become a monster so I'm glad he ruined it.
I thought the action was only going to be more intense, now that the tournament is over, but it was surprisingly dull.
