THE TRUTH HAS BEEN REVEALED IN THE NEW WEBCOMIC CHAPTER!!! FELLOW ONE PUNCH MAN FANS RISEEE!!!!

IT WAS FRICKING NEO THE WHOLE TIME????

WAIT- OMGGGG- GENOS NOOOOO DONT BELIEVE THE ATTACK WAS ALL METAL KNIGHT’S DOING!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! JUST TALK TO BOFOI LIKE SAITAMA SAID!!! DAMMIT GENOS!!!!! YOU RECKLESS IDIOT!!! (I still love u though pookie but rn your consumed by rage!!!)

((OMG WAIT- DRIVE KNIGHT IS 100% IN ON THIS OR SOMETHING!!! MAYBE MY OLD THEORY WASNT ANOTHER GROUP, BUT NEO HEROES THEMSELVES!! (Maybe)))

ALSOO!!! This is so sweet that they look up to Metal Bat and were able to protect his sister Zenko, that actually touched my heart, awww! 🙏

Also this down here is low-key crazy and kinda of a deeper look about hero’s and monsters. (I also really love character development and this was just super interesting reading this)

I really do wonder where this will lead too…..

I hope Ryumon, Metal Bat, and the other heroes (like dark shine cuz wdym he disappeared from the face of the earth 😭), will be okay 🙏

….But I’m also concerned for Genos well-being if he ever finds out that metal knight actually did nothing wrong and that it was neo heroes doing the whole time (and possible maybe drive knights) 😭

((I also just miss genos a lot, where is he man 😭))

Echizen Daibutsu: The Tallest Seated Buddha Statue With The Shortest History

Japan’s Taishizan Seidaiji Temple in Katsuyama hosts Echizen Daibutsu (Echizen Great Buddha), one of the tallest seated statues of Buddha. It was based on the seated statue of Ryumon Hosenji Temple in China and was built on May 28, 1987.

With a height of 17 meters, 2 meters taller than the Great Buddha of Nara, it is the tallest seated Buddha statue in Japan. Although Echizen Daibutsu is taller than the other seated statues, it is not as famous as them because of its short history, making it the tallest and the youngest seated Buddha statue in Japan.

Most of the Neo Leaders are Complicit

I had been getting a bit suspicious of Accel seeking Mumen out to give him a special body suit just before things started getting really bad, but I thought too, well, it could be a coincidence. After all, hero work is dangerous at the best of times.

However, I was rereading the relevant chapter (138), and in light of what's been happening since, Accel making specific mention of culling the weak is no longer innocent:

'The age has come where the powerless will start being culled,' speaks to a plan rather than mere accident.

It's intensified by what Ryumon says in an interview in the same chapter, saying that pro-heroes ought to join the Neo Heroes while they're still alive. Again, in isolation, it could just be him speaking to the harshness of hero life, but in the round, it's a threat.

They know. The fuckers knew this was coming. So much for not wanting to be corrupted by the Hero Association, Accel: we see you buying in to much worse.

Across the board, various Neo Hero leaders have bought into the evil to different extents.

We have those who are 100% for it, like A. He's just in it to see how many people he can kill before he dies, and seeing Zaedats and Infelsinave (poor patsies) turned into meat puppets to be milked for every last dollar pleased him.

We have Raiden and Suiryu, who may not be outright evil but see nothing wrong with rounding up outlaws for cyborgization. Don't you dare give these fuckers a pass just because you think they're cool.

For all his highfalutin talk, Blue can't see evil when it's staring him right in the face.

Significantly, the former pro-heroes *don't* seem to have been entrusted with the Neo Hero true agenda.

Child Emperor is suspicious and is trying to investigate, but he's being kept under close surveillance. There's a good reason Metal Knight doesn't want Child Emperor anywhere near him.

Metal Bat has realised that the Neo Heroes are evil. Unfortunately for him, he's under house arrest as they're holding his sister hostage. Seems the free babysitting came at an unacceptable price.

Superalloy Darkshine is uneasy, but currently, he has his head down and is busying himself with his trainees. He knows nothing.

I don't think that Max's feet being shot out from under him was an accident: his feet are his main weapon and taking them out inflicts the maximum devastation, even if he survives. There's only 500 pro-heroes at most: uploading a database of their identification and key attributes would be trivial.

I'm sure that there's a lot more to come, but don't imagine the Neo Heroes are innocent fools being bamboozled by a super-slick evil. A lot of them know. And are fine with it.

The contrast of Yuna using a laser gun while Kirino and Ryumon use more realistic guns is really funny to me.

[dangerouscommiesubversive]

what are your thoughts on decker? did you come out of it with any ships or interesting headcanons?

I loved Decker, which was a pleasant surprise! I enjoyed Trigger a lot, but got consistently kind of frustrated with the frequent incoherence and inconsistency of its plot and character arcs, and I liked Dyna fine, but it's pretty solidly in the lower end of my personal mental ranking of Ultra shows. By contrast, every time I finished an episode of Decker I found myself 1. feeling distinctly fizzy and 2. impatient to watch the next one.

I can't think of any particular headcanons at the moment, but I definitely came out of the show heavily shipping the main trio (Kanata/Ichika/Ryumon) and also wanting Agams aka Asakage to be very happy with someone. That someone could be Laelia, or it could be Murahoshi-taichou, or it could be Jin Amazons Decker Asumi, or it could be any combination of those three, I just want him to get so comprehensively railed that he gets out of his own head for a little while be happy.

The Real Miracle

When Bankei was preaching at Ryumon temple, a Shinshu priest, who believed in salvation through repetition of the name of the Buddha of Love, was jealous of his large audience and wanted to debate with him.

Bankei was in the midst of a talk when the priest appeared, but the fellow made such a disturbance that Bankei stopped his discourse and asked about the noise.

“The founder of our sect,” boasted the priest, “had such miraculous powers that he held a brush in his hand on one bank of the river, his attendant held up a paper on the other bank, and the teacher wrote the holy name of Amida through the air. Can you do such a wonderful thing?”

Bankei replied lightly: “Perhaps your fox can perform that trick, but that is not the manner of Zen. My miracle is that when I feel hungry I eat, and when I feel thirsty I drink.”

Maybe I'm too mean to Accel, but I think it's only fair that someone goof on him.

today's the day we can post our pieces for @ultra-zine, so here's mine, "the truth is merely universal." digital orders are out now, so please get yours, because everyone did a fantastic job!

(and a special thank you to @eclipse-song for doing the art for this, because it captures it perfectly.)

here's a snippet!

Which raises the problem: the dilemma of Agams. Even if Kanata's long gone in the future Agams calls home, stagnant nights still bring wonders on if he could have done anything different.

To save him would mean to attack the mindset. Playing defence could only bring ruin and utter uselessness upon himself.

Then there's the can of worms Decker's opened-

How do I save him?

"You're overthinking it," a masculine voice prompts.
