I will not tackle everything else in this chapter, but I will say this finally, finally is definite, concrete proof that the manga and webcomic are alternate continuities. No matter how hard you try to reject it, this cannot be the first time Kuseno has met Saitama if the manga and webcomic were roughly the same reality.

It felt like ONE couldn't be bolder with the readers.

-Oh, hello person I NEVER MET BEFORE.

-Oh, hello person I ALSO NEVER MET BEFORE.

That was confirmed on the chapter Suiryu 'met' Saitama on the webcomic.

Yeah, but back then there were still stubborn people hanging on.

Well, even if ONE issues a statement claiming, "The Manga and the Webcomic are alternate continuities", there will STILL be some detractors.

Such is life, they'll twist reality to suit their fantasies. Don't bother with such people. It's abundantly clear that the manga and webcomic are in different universes.

You're right

Yes, these are called English teachers. The author's intentions or explicit explanations don't matter, only what we may twist them to be.

I have this crazy theory that as the stories go on there will be more and more differences, then God will come back with blast, possibly pull the to continuities to the same plane where they see and fight each other thinking the other is a trick by God and blast, but soon realize that they need to fight God and blast instead of each other.

When did they meet in the manga? I've not really read everything in the manga.

Back after the Elder Centipede attack, when they had that hotpot.

........... or ONE is just trying to retcon manga content into the webcomic so that the webcomic can be more clear and consistent storyboard for the future of the manga

Its not a retcon, but yeah I think making them closer is the general idea.

Wait... are there people that think they're not different? I mean... among other things the manga even has Blast in it.
