OPM chapter 144 review

KingKira’s View: I’m not sure how long they’ll keep this up but it brings me joy that One & Murata are continuing with the regular biweekly release schedule. The chapter felt a bit shorter but there was some progression. We start off with the Tanktop army and some of the lower class heroes evacuating the injured civilians before Pig god arrives on the scene with Narinki’s squad, Okama & Bushidrill. I have to give Pig god some respect for his reaction to Sosshi kicking & insulting him even though he saved his life, Pig god also managed to motivate the tank top army to believe in their master and evacuate more civilians before heading back to the battle. The most interesting thing about Pig god in this chapter is the implication of a trump card that could be useful in a dire situation, considering he’s saving it for Shibabawa’s prophecy your guess is as good as mine as to what the power is or how strong it might actually be.       

A super fart?

We switch over to Tatsumaki’s helpless situation where Fuhrer Ugly is about to have his way but Silver fang Bang shows up and tears through Gums saving Tank top master, Genos follows up by incinerating Gums with a heat blast; Fuhrer retaliates with a face caving punch but Bang redirects it back to FU’s face. I’m pretty sure everyone could have guessed that Tank top would somehow pull through, what can I say, it’s the power of tank top magic, he’s definitely out of commission for the rest of the arc. Gums isn’t done yet as he attacks Genos while Fuhrer ugly uses the Dignity caving punch (Lovely name by the way!) on Bang. Bang once again easily redirects the attack onto Gums before delivering a combo of his own, Gums ends up eating Fuhrer ugly as retaliation. The information & display we got of the flowing water-rock smashing fist in this chapter made me wonder if Bang could redirect Darkshine’s tackle on Garou, I think he could. The chapter ended with Fuhrer ugly tearing through Gums belly in a mutated form, I’m not 100% sure Gums is dead but it looks that way for now. I’m guessing Homeless emperor & black sperm will enter the fray next chapter as they already figured out Tatsumaki’s clone trick.    

KingKira’s character of the week: S-class hero rank 3 Silverfang. Bang really showed us the strength of the FWRS fist by making light work of Fuhrer ugly’s destructive punches and saving Tank top master’s life. He also looked badass on the cover page. Shoutout to Pig god for being such a chill dude. 

KingKira’s best scene: Bang making light work of Gums & Fuhrer ugly. Specifically, Bang redirecting Fuhrer’s caving punches.

KingKira’s best panel: Bang gang

Judgment: A decent chapter this week, I won’t call it a bomb like the last one but it was enjoyable. We got the flowing water-rock smashing show, progression, Tank top magic & a grotesque form at the end. 7.5/10
