"30 minutes later"

Are you kidding me? Where was the bloodbath?!?!

The animation in this episode was absolutely a dog pile. My goodness, i was trying to be one of the nice guys about it but this is just bad.

I haven't even watched the episode yet, but lmao, they removed Zombie Man's cool as fuck cigarette for... THIS!!!



A lollipop, a fucking LOLLIPOP! This is probably the most disrespectful censorship that I have seen for a character. Bravo, now I have even more reason to rate this shit a 2/10 by the end of it.
@xZabuzax I thought it was a lollipop-shaped transmitter that Child Emperor gave him xd

I swear this season has been so crap that I'm partially convinced that it's all self-sabotage done on purpose just for the sake of attention at this point.

Man, this episode was really fun. I liked how the pacing sped up so they did 4 fights in one episode. Seeing the new abilities was neat, too.

As both a manga and webcomic reader, I literally don't understand what the complaints are talking about. The animation could be better? Yeah, sure. Still nowhere near bad enough as the 1-3 episodes. The fights were well paced, good voice acting and fun moments. Does anyone even remember how Season 2 looked?

Forgot to tell but I laughed so much when Bang's theme was played during Amai Mask "fight". Like, they couldn't even make a new one for him, lol.

That scene when Iaian is talking with Atomic Samurai, his mouth is so out of sync with the speaking. I swear I try to watch and not notice these things, but they're not trying to hide it tho.

maybe they're deliberately adapting the old chapters to help give a future studio justification to remake s3. they knew s3 would be a dud so they've been seeding its remake this whole time

Oh no....... Absolute garbage.
I was looking forward to Zombieman's moment, I loved it in the manga.
But that's.... just.... awful.

People are complaining about the lollipop, but I'm much more baffled by the "30 minutes later" that hides the end of the fight. Was it like that in the manga? I don't recall.
Everything changes. Even the happy and funny things eventually disappear. How can I still enjoy this place then?

Atomic Samurai is cool, and I wonder what is up with Amai Mask. Will they animater Saitama vs Orochi? Also why did they put the opening at the end? The next episode is top dragons so I'm excited to see what that is about. Overall the season is probably gonna get a 4 from me.

@Hydra112 The opening at the end didn't surprise me; in fact, I expected it, since they omitted it from the beginning of the ep, and the OP is more hyper and better than the ED. It was one of the few good decisions they made.

Garbage "animation", spamming of unnecessary filters, mediocre drawings, censorship on Zombieman's cigarette and on the violence itself, and finally.... did this go even further into non-canon? Amai Mask was supposed to have been prevented from killing the Narinki.

One Frame Man strikes again. Sad the Zombieman fight wasn't as good as Flashy Flash's fight. It could've been cool. But each scene after that just kept getting more and more worse. It's kind of impressive in a way.

Also, I really don't understand why they replaced Zombieman's cigarette with a fucking lollipop. I thought this series was rated for 17 and above? If it's not then why? Why isn't this rated 17 and above? What's with this weird censorship anyway? It's not like smoking doesn't appear in any other anime. It would've been better if they just cut that scene entirely or just not shown him smoking or doing anything.

Anyway, Amai Mask is a monster? Ok. Makes sense why he seemingly killed those brainwashed humans. Reminds me of those old theories that said Saitama was a monster.

I don't understand why the OP was placed at the end tho? I always skipped the OP so Idk if there's anything different.
@0451 Oh, ur an anime only? I think it there were already some clues of him being a monster before in the manga, but nothing too overt. That said, no..... he is not supposed to have killed them. In the manga, they are saved before he kills them (he would have done it, yes, but not because he's a monster, rather, because of his principles of eliminating evil).

@popa910 I don’t even smoke; I hate the smell of that shit myself. But I’d rather see Zombieman with a cigarette, like he’s supposed to be, instead of a silly lollipop. Where’s the “aura” in that scene with him holding a lollipop? The aura is down the toilet.

He was supposed to look cool, walking around with a cigarette like he just had a smoke after sex. Now he looks like a kindergarten kid holding that shit after failing fifth grade.

using the OP at the end was confusing. I had to double check whether this was the final episode or not

it might be worth mentioning that Saitama wouldn't have made an appearance at all this episode if they used the normal end credits

I get that a lollipop makes sense with regard to Child Emperor and all that, so you could maybe make an argument for Child Emperor having given everyone a lollipop offscreen that's supposed to heal them or something.
All that being said, there's just no point in making so many changes like that? A cigarette is a cigarette, and as many have said, a series like this has no need to censor even something like that. All it does is require more things to be explained where before it was simple. They'll probably even add an anime-only scene of Child Emperor giving out the lollipops just to "justify" their change, smh.

Instead of a few seconds of cameo time, we get fucking zero minutes. I keep watching this shitshow expecting to see a few one-punches eventually. But now with only two episodes left I can’t imagine how involved Saitama will be. The fat guy was pretty funny but that was it.

It's outrageous what Bandai Namco is doing with One Punch Man. The level of quality that JC Staff studio is delivering is ridiculous, a joke, shameful, lazy. Shinpei Nagai is completely incapable and incompetent of handling this work. One Punch Man deserves treatment on par with Kimetsu no Yaiba, Chainsaw Man, and Sousou no Frieren. Boycott Bandai Namco, zero points. I hope the third season of OPM gets the worst possible rating. I remember the first season: beautiful, well-made, exquisite animation, a pleasure to watch. It's no wonder it became popular. Bandai Namco, learn one thing: you will profit if you invest in quality, not the other way around. The better the quality, the more views and shares. But, with the current situation at JC Staff, you are only attracting hatred and contempt from One Punch Man fans. I repeat: the One Punch Man manga is wonderful, has magnificent art, and deserves treatment to match. In this awful season, everyone is to blame: Bandai Namco, JC Staff, Shinpei Nagai, etc.

Did you even watch the episode? What "fights" did they show? It was 90% skipped or cut out entirely (30 minutes later bs).

@0451 I forget the exact circumstances or changes, but the fight with the brainwashed rescue squad Narinki sent in was changed by Murata, similar to a more recent change that upended stuff and probably will result in the next season taking some time as well to work out any issues in adaptation.

Though that change of chapter 106 was near middle of 2020, so, there were likely other reasons this took longer to produce. But the release of the chapters is pretty variable anyway. Original version had him kill the squad, pretty brutal from what I remember

@Blackpenredpen I have to wonder where it'll stop, but they've been working on this for several years, I imagine the changes that happened recently with a whole arc that is...right at the end of the Monster Association Arc and got redone, like 2+ volumes worth, will mean they have to reconfigure things again, but I imagine we'll see Fuhrer Ugly and Homeless Emperor next time, probably even have to wait for the next season for the Evil Mineral Water (I think that's its name?)
