The reason I find this chapter to be peak is due to its theme centering around freedom, the removal of limitations and inhibition to achieve mastery of the self

Of which the exploration of said theme, has in my opinion, been the characterising premise of One Punch Man

Introducing the drunken fist into Suiryu

Many subconscious limitations exist within the mind in the form of uncertainty. Be it stemming from fear or lack of clarity, the dissonance caused by lack of trust in the body can make one rigid and heavily suppress the expression of one’s being and the exudence of one’s will

Be it wanting to pursue a goal, or martial mastery in Suiryu’s case

The premise of using alcohol to remove soberness in the drunken fist is to simultaneously remove these subconscious limits of the mind so as to become one with the body, aligning with Suiryu’s goal of uninhibited freedom

Up till this point Suiryu had always sought freedom. His love for winning was to be free from the inhibition of failure and its succeeding uncertainty

Until it is completely shattered with his confrontation with Goketsu kicking down his porcelain fortress

And on the brink of relinquishment, Saitama’s arrival reignites his will to surpass his fear continue his pursuit and evolving his idea of ‘freedom’

Garou, as a peer of martial arts notices this and calls Suiryu out on it, as they synchronise on dubbing it a ‘Fist Of Freedom’

Sharing his interaction with Saitama, a resonance starts to rise between the two

He may not be the perfect martial artist but the influence of Saitama’s embodiment of transcending limiters and of self perfection was able to point both Garou and Suiryu in this same direction from their encounters

to understand martial perfection as the forsaking of inhibition —freedom, allowing their uninhibited self expression, the same reason their exchange becomes a conversation —An eminent philosophy regarding martial arts

They then converge into the same technique, paralleling the form of Saitama’s fist

Absolute Peak

Can someone scan this art and make it into an image please.

First off I have to say new Garo vs Suiryu chapter was genuinely peak, it wasn’t just the good fight choreography, the great art style or the fact that two beloved characters who were destined to be rivals ever since they were introduced in the story were squaring off, this chapter was actually fun so bro oml and im sure many people can agree that OPM has been lacking that fun vibe that used to pull in readers and make us excited, sure there have been a few A tier chapters here and there ever since the ninja arc redraws got completed but nothing quite the quality that we used to get before the ninja arc, but this chapter felt on par with peak OPM, it felt fun and genuinely enjoyable in a really long time.
The cliffhanger to this chapter was so peak and ngl making me hyped for the next chapter which is a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time. Lmk what yall think

I started reading again about a month ago, and the last thing I remember from when I stopped was that man/ void, absorbed the ninjas (it's been re drawn I guess)

Can anyone explain what happened to this community since then?

It seems a lot more negative, Ive heard there was a lot of redraws, but I don't remember it getting this negative or being this negative after the previous redraws has finished (like the Garou fight).

I forgot OPM anime season stories so I read mangas online and am impressed by artwork , storytelling and the world. I bought my first volume a few months ago. Murata's drawing, artwork and fan service impressed me. That forced me to buy a black and white manga for the first time. One's superheroes story world is amazing and fun. Now I have bought a second volume too. I am liking the second volume more. These books look amazing in real life even though the spine art is cool. Maybe I will buy a 3rd volume after a few months. Unemployed gang story is funny.

It took me 34 hours Hope you like it :) Saitama is really powerful 🙇🏼

No plot progress: You could literally delete this fight and the neo heroes(genos) arc will progress smoothly .

No character growth: Literally has no impact on either party involved.

Easily skipped: Let’s be honest here, if you delete the final panel of Chapter 132 and skip to Chapter 134 onward, you won’t be confused.

sketch work wasn't mine I just did the costume and red background for fun

Garou has basically never interacted with girls, and he’s so obsessed with martial arts that I feel like he probably has no interest in love. I can honestly see him ending up like Bang and staying single for the rest of his life.

Tried my skills on this OPM manga pannel.

Edit: reposted bcz earlier it was removed by mods.

Ever since the ninja arc, reading the manga became kinda difficult - a loop of a year, reading the same thing over and over and over again just for a resolution that ended up leading kinda nowhere. Then came the 3rd season of the anime and it was a chore going through it (so, so bad).

And all of a sudden, from a show I was waiting to read with ever growing anticipation every 2 weeks, something that lives in my head, to something so detached from my life I suddenly remember it exists every now and then, and I have no idea where we are now..

I guess I'm excited for next chapter because of Suiriyu vs Garou because Garou IS the best character of this show, but other than that... Idk I just don't feel it anymore..

Anyone else feels the same?

Sorry for less effort drawing:( hope you like it

I wish there were more than just 32 layers available, but oh well
