KingKira’s View: It’s great to see One & Murata back in full force with a spicy chapter after the redraws and what we got in chapter 139. The chapter starts off with a character introduction for Suiko making her first appearance as she visits Suiryu in the hospital, it was cool to see Suiryu’s chill dynamic with his younger sister, and we also got some info about what Suiko’s been up to, the Void fist and the late master Suicho. Suiko tries to persuade Suiryu to come back to their dojo but he’s determined to become a hero after being inspired by Saitama. Back in Z-city, we see the aftermath of Tatsumaki finishing off Orochi, she releases her large barrier and we get some reactions from some of the weaker heroes like Mumen & Lightening max, Meanwhile Bang is impressed by the S-class heroes cooperating, the other heroes show concern for Flashy’s safety but Tatsumaki reassures them that he didn’t get caught up in her attack, she even begins to suspect Blasts involvement which is reasonable as she should know about his abilities to an extent, we know the black cube did in fact transport Saitama & co to a different dimension so Tatsumaki is on the right track here.
We switch over to Homeless emperor after he turned Zombie man into a fountain of blood, he goes off on a smug monologue berating Gyoro & Orochi (I don’t believe any of the cadres are aware of the Psyrochi fusion) before Amai jumps in to attack but Black sperm emerges from the ground to hold him down and tease him before Fuhrer ugly performs a terrifying jump scare as well as a literal face caving punch, that wasn’t enough fun for Fuhrer as he decided to take things up a notch by ripping Amai apart and tossing him aside like a doll, BEAUTIFUL!!! As much as I like Amai, I love seeing brutal scenes of carnage like these. With Orochi gone there is no longer an official monster king so Fuhrer ugly proposes a contest using S-class hero kills as the decider for the position. Child emperor tries to escape with Zombie man but Fuhrer stomps on Zombie man and savagely taunts Child before Homeless hurls a huge energy ball at Child emperor, the energy attack leaves a hole in the ground and ENW emerges from it and is face to face with Atomic samurai & Iaian, Gums also pops out of the ground facing Pig god & Tank top master. It was interesting to see Black sperm weary of HE’s blasts, this tells me that the cadres don’t have much Intel on each other. With this all the active cadres except rover have joined the party and I’m very excited to see more from the cadres, they really brought a sense of doom & gloom in this chapter especially with what happened to Child emperor, Amai & Zombie man.
KingKira’s character of the week: The cadres brought the hype in this chapter with their epic entrances to the party but I think Fuhrer Ugly & Homeless emperor stole the show. My pick this week is Homeless emperor. His attitude & charisma was cool to see, he also pulled out that massive energy blast which was great and Black sperm also put some respect on his name. Shoutout to Fuhrer ugly for actually being ugly and terrifying, Murata did a great job with his facial expressions.
KingKira’s best scene: It has to be Amai mask getting humbled, teased and gangbanged.
KingKira’s best panel: Another tough call this week but I’ll go with the last panel showing the cadres ready to party.
Judgment: Very pleased with the chapter we got this week, it had all the ingredients of a great one punch man chapter. It’s so good to see the cadres wreak havoc, the art was on point as usual, we got a new hot character, gut wrenching action and the prospect of even more action, only problem is that I NEED MORE! Murata please no redraws. 9/10
