One Punch Man

Actually he cares about 'looking like the good guy'. Because that helps him being a hero.

the long pacing, basically

That's why he murdered a bunch of hostages he could have easily saved for shits and giggles

He's just angry about getting bullied when he was a kid and taking it out against others who had nothing to do with it. Yeah he's a faggot and that's the whole point of his character.

>reddit reaching so hard to protect a racist author

You're stupid, you don't even understand the character's concept even though it's kind of drilled into the readers in the manga.

Garou is just an individualist, a maverick. He hates gangs period. Monsters, heroes, yadda yadda yadda. Garou hates groupthink, the mob mentality and how it 'sneakily' destroys people in society on the regular. It's a common issue in any world, fictional or ours, and it's virtually impossible to perfectly cull, in all honesty, as such he wants to become the biggest target for the mob to focus their negativity on him.

>racist
>hes not black

also who cares what reddit thinks or anyone.

I want to **** Fubuki's ass, Psychos's tits, and Tatsumaki's eyes.

I don't understand why they are changing so much from the webcomic, in the manga literally every single chapter about Garou they hammer you over the head that he isn't a "bad person".
In the webcomic ONE at least tried to make it a little bit more nuanced.

Shorter chapters.
They used to be 50 pages god i miss that.

same, accidentaly

That's literally the point of the character, he's a half assed villain because he wants to be a hero.

Incompetent mercenary scum with illegal power armors might not be inside the group of people he deems worth saving.

Yes, that's the thing.
We fucking get it, why do they need to tell you every single chapter about it? That's the problem about the manga.

Webcomic Garou is betterp by far

>NOOOO IT'S NOT A JOKE ABOUT SKIN COLOR IT'S ABOUT HOW WHITE BODY BUILDERS USE TANNING OIL
Jesus fucking christ i hate these absolute genetic dead ends that start to cold sweat out of insecurity just at the thought that a joke might be racist.
It's not even a joke he just turned black.

He hated bullies. His experience as a child showed him over and over that heroes bully monsters. He wants to make the world a better place but his lack of self confidence means he wants to create a situation where he is the greatest threat to the world ad will protect it with his tyranny until hero can surpass him.

Also I like how this chapter shows while Darkshine isn't a hero, he's still a good person.

People calling it a tan are being super disingenuous since nobody ever suspected so until his backstory was revealed in the webcomic.
Do you know why? Because he doesn't look tanned!

I dunno why people keep saying this it's been great

Evidently we don't because people still don't get it

Litterally just the same guy shitposting again and again on each threads.

What? I have never seen anyone deny Garou's actual heroic convictions.
If there is anyone that actually thinks Garou is a villain/monster then they are reading a different series.

Literally read the first few posts in this thread

>in the manga literally every single chapter about Garou they hammer you over the head that he isn't a "bad person".
It is getting tiresome that he's not allowed to just revel in his half-assed villainy. Especially in the ramp up to him "ditching" his humanity to become the Monster he imagines he wants to be.

OC donut steel-tier.

So "nuanced" for you means never showing that side. Funny.

It's just a tiny part of the chapter that shows that. We never had a scene before where Garou notices that what he's doing right now reminds him of bullying. It's way more interesting to add that than not.

Nah he's just too much of a pussy to even attempt to become a hero so he takes it out on other heroes for not acting like his ideal vision of a hero.

>never showing that side
Never mind the fact he is in the MA base because he wants to save the kid, fucking retard.
The webcomic didn't need breaks of exposition for this aspect of him because his actions spoke for him, now it appears there needs to be at least one scene about it in the middle of every single chapter focused on Garou.
>We never had a scene before where Garou notices that what he's doing right now reminds him of bullying
Why does the series need that? We know Garou is not a bad person, we know he went through harsh things, beating you over the head with it is not good story telling.
>It's way more interesting to add that than not
Why?

The manga makes Garou more nuanced actually. Aside from his frustration, it better explores his empathy, admiration for traditionally heroic qualities, and the whole concept of being strong to be able to stand up for yourself that he even gets to talk about with Tareo, which comes full circle at the end of the arc and poetically prompts Garou to save himself.

You don't get it. It's about Garou himself noticing, not the reader.

That's wrong. Garou's character tackles a clear theme: the topic of mob mentality. It's easy to understand.
He doesn't hate heroes specifically, or unironically love monsters, or think being either is "hard". He just hates groupthink, which both heroes and monsters, and groups in general, exhibit.
Garou's very character schtick exactly is that he doesn't fit in. If you can't comprehend that somehow, or you have an allergy to characters that stick out from established factions in the story, then you're unfortunately a brainlet.

>why won't he just become a "true monster"
>why won't he just become a "hero"

Because it wouldn't be him. Garou's character is literally written to be in-between. It ain't rocket science.
And if you think that after this arc Garou is gonna be like "let's be friends haha" or "heroes good, monsters bad", you missed his entire characterization. He will always "stick out" and focus on mob mentality issues precisely. Even if he became a "hero", it would be very specifically "a hero for the outcasts" reminiscent of his own individual.

I'd argue most of the additional scenes are purely for the reader which is why it's getting annoying how hard ONE is hammering it in. Like when Garou stops some monster cultists purely because he happened to be in the area.

We get it by this point, Garou is a good boy deep down inside. Couldn't he have just beaten Darkshine without needing to suddenly realize right now that he's acting like a bully?

Society is created by group consensus. If you don't have that, you just get assholes constantly fighting with each one. And as we all know, the lone asshole usually dies when facing the pack.

"what killed the hype?" posters.

Murata better draw more of her in Volume 22, even if it's just pin-ups

>Society is created by group consensus.
And "majority rule" is full of inherently unfair, venomous aspects. Ain't hard to get.
Individuals do not deserve to be cruelly ostracized, scapegoated and even literally killed for whatever arbitrary reason whichever gang chooses that day. That's the mob mentality.
OPM is fiction and it's inspirational message is to be strong, for yourself or for others, alone or not.

I miss that as well. You can tell hes gotten bored of it

Ain't it a reference to that meme about Before and After workout ads where the dude in the before is white and the dude in the after is black?

Maybe he'll redraw her chapters and give her abs back.

It's a racist joke about how all Japanese body builders tend to look black. It's pretty based

So he's Sasuke from Naruto? Yeah, he's a retarded character.

>And "majority rule" is full of inherently unfair, venomous aspects.
Individual rule is just as bad so for all his angst, Garou lacks any self awareness as to how much worse his alternative is.

Garou did beat Darkshine and showed compassion the moment he saw the guy got turbo-scared. That's it. That's only stressing Garou's humanity and, most importantly, the fact that his own image of a monster is very heavily influenced by his humanity. This all flows into him mixing the concepts of a hero and a monster together - "the noble or fair evil", which is spelled out later.

Obviously Garou's not particularly interested in endlessly pummeling a guy who is literally shitting himself hardcore. Garou thinks opponents like that are either unworthy (if they just shit themselves from the start) or underwhelming and effectively defeated (if they just succumb to fear after acting all arrogant initially). This manga addition is really just Garou acting in-character.

No he's not at all. You can go back to one of your WSJ generals.

Didn't he have white hair when he was younger? In all honestly, i'd prefer black though.

Yeah I recall he does but yeah black works better.

Garou doesn't care about individual "rule". He wants to shake up the status quo and give the mob a new, biggest by far, target in himself so that they're less inclined to focus their cruel negativity on poor randoms.

Her design definitely got upgraded by the time of the raid but the muscles should've been enhanced instead of removed

Is it a possibility that Saitama is similar to Darkshine? What if he also breaks down when having a fight he's not sure he can win? He wants to push himself at 100% also, but that's because he's confident he can win any fight.
