you can see in the manga that his pecs are outlined in bold as well as his abs, meanwhile in the preview they just threw that all out the window and drew a bunch of lines with no rhyme or reason.
At first glance this chapter appeared faithful to the webcomic, but when the translation finally came out, the dialogue either was all over the place or straight up missing, in fact when comparing the chapters, much of it was just erased.
I don't know if they found it to be too much reading..? But I found all the cut dialogue to be fascinating and better yet: informative.
The consequences of the HA's failing standards in protecting humanity are emphasized. We learn their reputation is crumbling. We see Blue & the Neo Heroes viewed more favorably by the public.
It just doesn't click with me why all of this would be removed.
This should speak for itself. If it isn't plainly obvious, the main sub is biased towards denying how much control over the manga Murata has.
It's really frustrating that this is how the mainsub wants us to approach a piece of evidence that supports the wrong agenda, especially when the evidence is so strong IT'S LITERALLY PROOF. Luckily the replies called out the pinned comment for how ridiculous it is.
I'm betting if there was zero controversy about who is in control of manga, the mod wouldn't have even thought to pin that comment there.
Goes to show you can't have any real discussion on the main sub but hey I guess you already knew that based on how much censorship was going on during Season 3.
The manga adapts the same chapter of Suiryu fighting Job Hunter Garou but setup and ending is totally different.
In the webcomic, Garou's on the run and trying to figure himself out, so the setting of him hiding as a job hunter makes sense. When he fights, he's emotionless except for when he reacts to Suiryu wrecking the moving truck. We barely saw much of him and yet one fight tells us much about how he's changed and what consequences of his past he's still forced to deal with.
But in the manga, Garou is pardoned and is going to join the S-Class as a successor to Silverfang. I don't really see what he needs a job for. Plus we already saw how Garou has changed after being defeated and there's no consequences whatsoever so the job hunter scene is made redundant.
I'd think when writing a scene, you'd be trying to move the story in a particular direction, but the webcomic and manga are trying to move in opposite directions with the same scene. Not to mention the tone between the webcomic and manga are completely different. It doesn't make sense to me that ONE would do something like this unless he has no clue what he's writing.
I can't wait for the manga to adapt the Mad Cyborg arc not because I'm excited for the story itself but because I just want to see how far the manga will divert from the webcomic. Based on how different it is, at some point it'll just be impossible to say ONE is writing anything.
Chibi Garou has returned and this time with the new addition of chibi Suiryu. I don't even know what to say about this.
And interestingly, manga Suiryu carefully saved the truck, unlike his webcomic counterpart where Suiryu wrecked the truck to Garou's frustration. Difficulties will follow WC Garou even when he's trying to do better.
I guess the manga ending to this fight will be some wholesome 100 type of ending. It's really disappointing how far this series has fallen.
Monsters like Elder Centipede, Gouketsu, and Rover are some of my favorite dragon levels because they're flat out cool. When these Dragon levels are put against any human characters who aren't Saitama, they have to take the situation seriously as it feels like they can actually die.
Genos, Bang, and Bomb had to immediately rescue incapacitated heroes, come up with a strategy, and give it their all while being completely cornered by Elder Centipede.
Now heroes like Silverfang decide to "hold back" and "see what these youngsters can do" against a Dragon while Garou and Suiryu are aura farming, letting the Neo Hero fodder get defeated.
a short comparison of the webcomic/manga.
In webcomic, the last we see of Garou in the MA arc is when Saitama and the kid both give him a reason to live, and so he runs off at hyper-speed, leaving all the S-class heroes in the dust. We don't really know for sure what he will do. It's just left up to our imagination. We just know he's done with his villainous deeds.
When we see him again, he isn't even fully revealed, his face is obscured by his cap. It's mysterious, his apperance gives no confirmation that it would be him. We know better because of the dialogue and his superhuman displays of strength.
For a while, people were curious what happened to Garou after his defeat and this was a very exciting and fascinating way to showcase what he's been up to.
In manga, we know Silverfang is rehabilitating Garou, so the mystery of "what happened to Garou?" is gone. We're told he has a part time job and we constantly are being shown information that the Neo Heroes are hunting Garou (this doesn't make sense now that he's been pardoned).
By the time we see him in uniform he's already been talked about, hinted at, and introduced so many times he's just having a normal conversation instead of having a cool reveal.
Not to mention how the wholesome tone has been turned to 11 and we might get a metal bat x garou teamup 2.0
When it comes to the track, I believe that how effective a car's traction is just as important as its low-high end acceleration.
I'd break down the track into five parts in this order: 1st tunnel, 2nd tunnel, 1st curve, strip, 2nd curve.
With the most difficult part of the track being the 2nd tunnel, as it requires high level drifting skill to pass through it without crashing and maintaining speed.
I tried all the common supercars vehicles I own to see which performs the best. I don't think I'm the best driver at all and could've gotten much faster times with a lot of these cars, but I can point out which cars can do a lot better and which cars have already hit their limit.
S+ Tier:
Molten M12 (1:20.664) takes the cake, having been able to get almost sub 1:20 thanks to its 1.68 handling and 450 traction, allowing it to easily pass through the 2nd tunnel. It also has insane high end acceleration, getting up to 250 mph easily on both the strip and 1st tunnel.
(Edit: someone in replies got sub 1:17 with molten so goes to show how good it is)
Beignet/Orion(1:22.729) have similar stats to molten but I believe they lack molten's high end acceleration but maybe I could get sub 1:20 with these under perfect conditions.
Volt Bike (1:22.845) a good vehicle but lower potential than the other S+ tier cars. It doesn't have high end acceleration and struggles to maintain speed at harsh curvevs. Otherwise it's really easy to use so I think I did the best I could with this, it'll likely be forever stuck at sub 1:23 or sub 1:22.
(Edit: someone in replies got sub 1:20 with volt which was a surprise to me)
S Tier:
Roadster (1:24.896) is a car with great handling and acceleration, and can handle turns better than volt bike but it's worse top speed makes it fall behind on the strip and the 1st tunnel. Remember that the molten being able to gain 250 mph on these parts allows it to get such a ridiculously good time.
Power-1/Successor-1(1:24.067): These cars are basically the same, they feature 1.54 handling and great traction, but I believe the worse handling and high end acceleration doesn't allow them to outperform the likes of molten/beignet/orion. Probably has more potential than roadster but requires more skill to use...
A Tier:
Carbonara (1:26.013): This car has similar handling/traction stats to p1 and successor but falls short likely because of worse launch. But I think it can do way better.
Javelin/Fatalita (1:25.896): Javelin is the car I actually main, and so have the most experience with. (Fatalita is a jav clone so I'm lumping these together). I think I can make this car finish the track faster but it's very hard. The stats are all good except for traction which means it struggles to maintain its speed coming out of the 2nd tunnel. But I guess with enough drifting skill I could possibly achieve sub 1:25
B Tier:
All the cars in this tier are here for the same reason (except snake). Despite some of these cars having excellent acceleration and top speeds, they have 1.4 handling which is awful for maintaining speed on both the curves and exiting the 2nd tunnel.
1.68 handling is amazing for the racetrack, and 1.54 is acceptable, but 1.4 is just too horrendous.
I'm not going to really bother talking too much about each of them. Most of the time these cars achieve sub 1:28 at best.
Concept (1:27.548)
Manta (1:27.479)
Aperture (1:27.796)
Torpedo (1:28.088)
Eclare (1:29.629)
Snake (1:27.196) the only car here that has good handling/traction, has no high end acceleration, it has the same problem as roadster and volt which is having a ceiling that is easily reached.
Anyways if you guys have beaten any of my times then please lemme know cause there's definitely better racers out there and there maybe better cars that I havent used yet.
