One Punch Man's Latest Villain!

[skjam]

Hi folks! How's 2015 treating you?

It's been a while since we checked in on One-Punch Man.



As it happens, Saitama's taking this chapter off to play video games, and we are introduced to a new villain, Garo.

Four pages from the most recent Shounen Jump issue.







Garo wipes out an entire meeting hall full of superheroes and villains, and promises to train more so he can come back and fact the strongest heroes.

Well, he doesn't think it's actually a story he's in. He thinks things are unfair in stories and that people believe in the stories too much, and basically wants to upset people's notions in favor of his version.

There's more to it as well, but he's not forth-wall-breaking, he thinks people are fooled by stories.

Also, the way monsters and heroes in this world work plays into it. Being obsessed with something can lead to someone having a much high 'power limit' than normal. So there's a variety of super martial artists and such, and it's not rare for them to be focused on something (one S-class hero, Dark Shine, basically is superhuman due to being obsessed with having the perfect, unbreakable body).

So a guy obsessed with beating any hero...? Scary as heck.
