ワンパンマン [One Punch Man] #32

En este tomo, se le da más protagonismo a las dinámicas dentro de la Asociación de Héroes, los conflictos internos entre los héroes, y las luchas por el poder que se desarrollan mientras se preparan para lo que parece ser una confrontación aún mayor.

Think I at least need to re-read the previous before the new. Took a moment to remember what happened before. Garo acting like a hero, the fight with Metal bat was pretty cool. Saitama actually being clued in. An interesting confrontation given the times he'd already been brushed off. Pretty much the aftermath of the big battles.

I'm still suspicious of the moon.

Es increíble la escasa cantidad de cosas que pueden suceder en 200 páginas si se pone empeño.

[Kasimir · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dieser Erzählstrang zieht sich leider etwas und ist womöglich auch der bisher "schlechteste"(?), aber die Höhen sind so hoch - Wow!

[Dr Rashmit Mishra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Garo was the centre piece and Metal bat the additive , the action sequences were awesome and Garo as a character was massively hyped and redeemed

Not adding notes for volumes 24-31, here’s my very short thoughts.

Everything underground was too long, expect for Saitama and flashy flash and that one monster- that was great.

Really didn’t like the fan service chapters that were tornado vs that other physic lady, even though tornado was awesome.

Space garou was ok until i though about it and realized this series could go on forever if One just allows the artist to make saitama keep fighting bigger and badder space/universe villains… so I’m not sure about the future of this series.

This really should be the best volume… but it’s not. Saitama showing off his strength, cool moments from Metal Bat and Garou… but seriously, why would Saitama start walking away from the fight? When has he ever not just taken out a monster when it is imposing upon people? I get that he doesn’t think Garou looks like a monster, but he literally tells Saitama that he wants to reshape the world in his evil image or whatever… it just feels a little out of character.

At least we’re finally getting Saitama vs Garou

168 is insane

[Maxime Facon Lisiak · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honestly, I love the direction this is taking. Everything is becoming more rational and calm; it’s finally coming together.
The fact that Saitama himself proposes ending the conflict with Garou without killing him shows he’s truly stepping up to his superhero responsibilities—it’s very well executed. Also, I’m really digging the strange kind of friendship starting to form with Metal Bat; it’s unexpected, but it totally works.
Besides, if Garou were to be a hero, there’s no question he’d be in the S-Class Top 5. An excellent Volume 32
🇫🇷
Franchement, j'adore la tournure que ça prend. Tout devient plus rationnel et calme, ça s’organise enfin.
Le fait que Saitama propose de lui-même de clore le conflit avec Garou sans le tuer montre qu'il prend ses responsabilités de super-héros, c'est bien amené. Et j'aime beaucoup la sorte d'amitié étrange qui commence à se profiler avec Batte Man, c'est inattendu mais ça fonctionne grave.
D'ailleurs, si Garou devait être un héros, on peut dire sans conteste qu'il ferait partie du top 5 de la classe S. Un excellent tome 32.

[Peter · Rating 5 out of 5]

On Volume 34, which is currently the last volume in the series. The story has slowed way, way down, the art is as good as ever, and there are still some good snickers along the way.

The central focus has become the villain who turned to evil because of being bullied by kids who were imitating “heros” they saw on television. Although he sometimes does good things, he has nonetheless pledged to resolve all the injustice in the world by bringing evil down on everyone equally. In this he sounds like what some of the advocates of the far-right sound like. The system is flawed, so we must burn it all down.

The question left open by Volume 34 (and by our own future) is what will happen next.

[Sean DeLauder · Rating 5 out of 5]

I felt pretty confident this series could have ended with this particular volume, despite a number of unanswered questions (e.g., who are Blast and Drive Knight?; what is the rationale behind heroes/monsters becoming more powerful when they are beaten up but survive?, etc.), BUT NO! There are EIGHT MORE volumes that have yet to be released and translated into English, and the English versions are usually two or more volumes behind.

As much as I enjoy Saitama, it's getting to be a bit of a slog. I hope we get to a point eventually because as it's gone on it's clear there have been attempts at a point as Saitama's appearances diminish and other characters increase rather than pure fun.

[Andika Lesmana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Finally Garou and Saitama face each other. Eventhough the fight is clearly one-sided, Garou still manages to endure a few one-punch hits, which is… kind of surprising, I guess. The other pages mostly feel like decoration anyway, just something to look at before the next punch happens.

And apparently the newest Indonesian volume (No. 32) still only reaches the Garou scene, so it’s still pretty far behind the chapters that have already been released. The good part, though, is that it looks nicer: the ink is darker, the artwork feels more solid, and everything is arranged more neatly.

[Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are some cool bits in this volume, specifically with Saitama and an aircraft carrier. There is also a cool splash page of Saitama landing that is expertly drawn. I feel like nothing of import has happened in a long time in the world of One Punch Man though. Most of the fighting is inconsequential, and the story has not budged at all in a while. You are here for some action shots and comedic moments, not for plot movement or meaningful character arc conclusions.

[Kat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alright. Now this is more like it. First we get Garo wiping the floor with everyone, then we get Saitama literally surfing by using an aircraft carrier, because why wouldn't he? The Garo and Metal Bat vs yet another giant centipede, and if we ever get a buddy comedy with these two as stars, I will die happy. Then we finally get the start of Garo vs Saitama, and it's basically what you think it is. A man disciplining a child, and I am here for it.

[Cel Red · Rating 5 out of 5]

La pelea Saitama vs Garou es la mejor que ha dado este manga. Por el lado de Garou están todas las técnicas fancy y flashy y Saitama por fin se puso serio.

Además, fue super overpowered y ridícula, como tiene que ser aquí.

Y Garou es el reverso de Zuko: cuando quiere ser malo, en realidad termina siendo bueno y salvando gente por accidente 😂

Cagado también que medio mundo acabó desnudo.

[Agent Paul05 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bello! Disegni stupendi, con combattenti senza esclusione di colpi!
La battaglia si è appena spostata verso una nuova fase: Saitama contro Garo!
Con la morte di due esseri misteriosi che sembravano non morire mai, adesso i due personaggi daranno inizio ad uno scontro ancora più distruttivo e avvincente.
Sono curioso di vedere come si svolgerà questo combattimento!

[Pranta Dastider · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic is a small word to describe it! It was awesome as far awesomeness goes. Yusuke Murata, you are such an skillfull artist! I am so glad that you are doing this manga justice. And that last page! That was beyond awesomeness, pure raw fun!

Now, I gotta wait for the next volume! It is tough!

[Jonas · Rating 4 out of 5]

We finally get the ultimate Garo v Saitama match-up we've been building to for so many chapters. And it's excellent, though incomplete in this volume. Saitama goes into this fight with full confidence in his invulnerability, I love his line to the kid "see? He can't hurt me! You want me to stop him but not kill him, yeah?"

Garo's super-duper monster form was a bit over the top. I like his "galaxy" form though, and I'm really intrigued by this "god" character. I love the panels where he's depicted - usually we see him through the POV of some character, and he appears as a familiar face, but with this creepy fractal-fleshy pattern instead of a face. It's some Junji Ito crap, really good.

Garou y Bate metálico están en lucha contra el monstruo insecto aunque no son aliados pues Garou ha llegado a lo que él supone es su forma perfecta como monstruo.

Sin embargo Saitama ha llegado y parece que la batalla entre estos dos comenzará

[Räech Parra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Parece que se va acercando al final de este arco (al fin).
Si bien no es por dónde parecía que se iba a ir la historia parece que llegará a bye des enlace y espero que Santana ya tenga mejor reconocimiento.

[Gretchen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thank you to the publisher for this free eARC! All opinions are my own.

Garo and Metal Bat take on a huge monster. Garo is still determined to prove he can be the strongest monster, but then he meets Saitama... #Edelweiss+

[Jennifer]

Garo is…possibly going to have a redemption? Poor guy was so confused by Saitama telling him he wasn’t really a monster, and admonish him not to play too hard 😂 King as usual was in the right place to get credit for Saitama’s work.

I really wish each volume had more content…

Garou & Metal Bat vs Centipede, Saitama one-punch Ocean Monster

[Braulio Mago · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lo mejor de esta obra es el arte, pero siento que sigue prolongándose demasiado en el enfrentamiento actual.

[Diogo Muller · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm kinda giving up on this arc ever being over, but at least, this volume has some good jokes and focuses more on the core humor of the series, so, it's good enough for me.

¡La pelea que tanto hemos esperado! Tremendo...
