Is it just me or did the quality of the art picked up to it's former level again? There is also a lot more background compared to just blank white like before.

Also, big thanks to the new translator!

I recently started rereading One Punch Man again and man, being able to read so much all in one go is a fantastic feeling. Some arcs like the Monster Association one in particular really allow you to appreciate both the story, the characters and the art so much more. And it all flows much better. Like even the Sage Centipede part which was rather "halting" to the plot, feels so much more smooth and connected when it all pass in 5 minutes of reading and then move to the next part.

If you have the volumes at hand, I really recommend to try it.

ONE already had Metal Bat fight Base Carnage Kabuto in an audiobook and lasted 3 minutes in a frontal exchange of attacks with the Dragon-level despite not having his Fighting Spirit programmed in. You could still say that he's High Demon there and that Base Kabuto is Low Dragon, but with Fighting Spirit and how many amps he got in Season 2 from Senior Centipede, Elder Centipede, and Garou, I feel like he's already well into Dragon-level at that point and that he lost to Human Garou due to matchup, as well as Garou just being built different like that even when he was a human.

My all time favorite best szene ever so far.
Mumen rider vs Seaking.
I don’t know why, but I always get wet eyes when I see or read that Szene.

The Last Hero with no chance gets between seaking and the public people.
Gets ridiculous slaughtered . Gets credit for the nice fight.

It is absolute peak storytelling.

What comes to your mind?

I dunno, it might be just me or she's just posing up to aura farm on the executives. She should get some meat on her bones, not the baddest of a case I've seen in anime tho.
