While the other S-classes complain about her\n> reckless move and how it endangered them, Tatsumaki insults them and praises\n> King as the only one of the S-class smart enough and skilled enough to take\n> care of himself, the child, and deal with her move all at once, like a\n> proper hero should.\n\nAnd:\n\n> (webcomic) Atomic Samurai requests that King show him his sword swing, as\n> such a thing will reveal to him a great deal about the one who swings the\n> sword. King says that he has no training with the sword, but Atomic Samurai\n> insists it will still be a meaningful insight. An apple is placed on the\n> ground, and King kneels with the sheathed sword in his hands, prepared to\n> draw it. And he stays exactly that way for like 15 minutes, stricken\n> immobile by a panic attack over how now Atomic Samurai will know he's a\n> fake, swing or no swing. He then puts the sword down, stands up, and\n> silently walks away without looking back. Atomic Samurai _shits bricks_ ,\n> thinking that King's sword slice was so fast and so sublime that not only\n> did he not see it, but that the apple \"never even knew it was cut\". He\n> praises him for doing the diplomatic and honorable thing by quietly walking\n> away, and with admiration calls King a true monster for managing such a\n> feat, which was beyond even his imagination and skill, despite having \"no\n> training\".\n\nEven Saitama originally just assumes that King is very strong based on his\nreputation, and that whatever he is doing is because of that. He wonders if\nKing bailed on the fight with that cyborg because it was boring to him;\nSaitama seemed kind of hopeful he'd found someone who shared his ennui from\nhaving amazing power. Saitama, however, is the only one that King has both\nconfessed the truth to, _and_ who has believed King about it.\n\n> (webcomic) Recently, King tried to gain real strength by seeking martial\n> arts training. He tells Bang that he's not strong at all, and that Bang,\n> being the wise old master that he is, surely saw through that long ago. Bang\n> doesn't believe him at all, and thinks if he's going to train someone it\n> shouldn't be someone strong (like King) but a normal person. Bang feels\n> encouraged that even someone as strong as King still feels he can improve\n> and has the humility to see weakness in himself. Every other dojo he goes to\n> responds similarly, regardless of King's protestations of his actual\n> weakness, thinking their style is too peaceful for King, or not nearly\n> advanced enough for King, or that he was spoiling for a fight, etc.\n\nWhile King does have a certain measure of luck (though at times it is a\ncurse), he does seem to have developed certain skills to exploit this\nreputation. He knows he's intimidating to others and uses that whenever\npossible to get out of bad situations. He's gotten rather good at bluffing, as\nwell, which is assisted by the fact that his reputation is so powerful that\nenemies will construe any (cowardly) actions he takes as the traps and feints\nof a supreme tactician. Including simply running away. Nothing has formally\nstated that King has any supernatural origins to his luck, so as-is it is just\nordinary serendipity coupled with a bit of developed skill in bluffing.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-05-11T10:50:08.357", "id": "52902", "last_activity_date": "2019-05-11T10:50:08.357", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "8024", "parent_id": "51474", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]

This seems supported by an important plot point later:\n\n> Espers must choose between offense and defense, as they can only use one\n> power at a time. This creates an exploitable gap where you can land an\n> attack while the Esper is trying to attack. This pops up near the end of the\n> Garou/Monster Association arc. We are also told during that sequence that\n> her barrier remains up and effective even when she's unconscious (and\n> apparently concussed). As such it seems to be Tatsumaki's default state to\n> be in defensive mode, and she must consciously and actively switch to an\n> offensive attack.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-06-25T21:49:24.293", "id": "53378", "last_activity_date": "2019-06-25T21:49:24.293", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "8024", "parent_id": "51546", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nAdding onto @Gary Andrews30, the reason that King wasn't ranked any higher was\nbecause of the simply outstanding heroes ahead of him.\n\n.6. Bofoi (aka Metal Knight), he helped create the newer Hero Association\n**and** he literally has the skills to manage extremely advanced technology.\nAnd as Gary said above, rank isn't determined by strength, they look at other\nthings. King has almost never responded to his hero calls (calls for help by\nthe hero association) and only comes when there are the biggest of crises (ie.\nMonster Association) and that was only due to Saitama coming along. However,\nsince Bofoi doesn't respond much either, the deciding factor would probably be\nthe contribution to the Hero Association. As mentioned before, Bofoi helped\nconstruct the new Hero Association building, while King hasn't done much in\nthat retrospect(This isn't backed by much evidence because Bofoi doesn't have\nmuch character time and indications).\n\n.5. Child Emporer, his overall skills include extreme intelligence and\ntechnological mastery. He is most likely not as skilled as Metal Knight, but a\npossible factor could be his willingness to help out the Hero Association and\nhis strategic leadership as shown when he led the S rank heroes into the\nMonster Association. Therefore, because of his active participation vs King's\ndeclination of emergency calls, Child Emporer is ranked higher than King.\n\n.4. Kamikaze (Atomic Samurai), need I explain this one? Although mentioned in\nthe Webcomics that\n\n> Kamikaze believed that King cut the apple (a test of strength) so fast that\n> the molecules rejoined\n\nHowever, as readers, we obviously know that King if actually faking and\ndoesn't know what he is doing. However, Kamikaze has connections and pupils,\nwhich makes him viable and due to his immense prowess in katanas he is\nconsidered extremely dangerous and powerful. His pupils that are A rank 2, 3,\nand 4 (remember, A class high rankings are already considered powerful)\ncontribute with Atomic Samurai and if Atomic Samurai, the proud Samurai he is,\nhappens to dislike something or is displeased with his rank, the Hero\nAssociation would most likely lose his pupils along with a great warrior. Not\nonly that but Atomic Samurai also has connections with other sword dojos as\nshown when they meet up and discover that one of them had been monsterfied\nwith the monster hearts. One of the Masters mentioned \"I will mobilize my\npupils\", so notice the plural of the word \"pupils\". This means that because\nAtomic Samurai already carries influence among the top-ranked A heroes and\nalso has other sword dojos backing him up, the Hero Association could not\nafford to lose someone like him. Compared to King, Atomic Samurai holds to\nmuch influence and power/skill to be ranked lower.\n\n.3. Bang (Silver Fang) Simple, Bang is wise. He recognized Saitama's power\nright away and even mentions that Saitama is more powerful then him. Bang also\nhas mastered one of the most deadly martial arts techniques, Fist of the\nFlowing Water Crushing Rock. (Just take Garou as an example). Moreover, Bang\nalways showed up, no matter what happened. For example, at the start of the\nseries when a meteor was falling, only Bang, Genos, and later on Metal Knight\nand Saitama showed up. Bang calmly, _calmly_ looked at the meteor that could\nliterally destroy him and just chilled. Genos, the Demon Cyborg only came\nbecause he was worried about master Saitama being bothered by the meteor. ( I\nassume that he would've just yeeted outta there if Saitama wasn't there), and\nBofoi (Metal Knight) only went to test new technology. So not only does Band\n_cough_ responds to the calls, no matter how dire they are, but he also uses\nan extremely powerful martial arts technique that not many people can\nwithstand.\n\n.2. Tatsumaki (Terrible Tornado) Tatsmuaki doesn't really need to be\nexplained. Yes I do realize that she doesn't respond to calls much either, but\nshe is just simply too strong. My theory is that if she can float, how would\nthe \"Strongest Man on Earth\" even touch her? We have never seen King's feet\nleave the ground (Just gonna assume that King can't fly or levitate). So based\non that, Tatsumaki simply overpowers the \"Strongest Man on Earth\", not based\non physical prowess, but by psychic raw strength.\n\n.1.Blast Not much is known about Blast even int he Webcomics, but there are\nmany theories that I won't explain because of lack of evidence. However, he\nhas been described as, \"Fubuki mentions that Blast is \"the one at the top of\nall heroes\" during her talk with Saitama in his apartment, putting Blast\nalongside King in terms of power.\"\n\nBuuuut we all know how powerful King really is right....? Wait, you're telling\nme that after spending ~1 hour writing this that King actually is the\nstrongest?

He was too shy and awkward to tell people they were wrong (and\npossibly very early on they still would have already dismissed this as his\nbeing supremely humble, and not an honest admission of factual weakness), then\nit was kind of convenient, then he didn't want to let people down, and now\nhe's terrified of what would happen to him if people found out the truth.\n\nAs such he will make no demands for an elevated position, and may express an\nactive dislike of the idea of a promotion. In the latter case, who would dare\nto anger King by giving him something he has rejected? In the former they may\nsurmise he has neither need nor desire for higher accolades or bragging\nrights, and so they can use the higher rankings as incentives and rewards for\nthose heroes more concerned with such things. Bang is about the only one of a\nhigher rank who this doesn't seem to apply to, but everyone else in the top 6\n(and much of the rest of the S-class) seems pretty arrogant and convinced of\ntheir total superiority, and desires to be recognized as such.\n\n## Institutional Service\n\nAs Sphinx mentioned, while King's rated as a 10/10 on Effectiveness, he's not\nvery reliable to the Hero's Association as a go-to problem solver. King is\nbelieved to be an unbeatable killing machine, but he almost always operates\naccording to his own whims and desires. But it's being a go-to problem solver\nthat really moves you up into those top ranks.\n\nAnd that's where you see King outshone by the top 6 (well, 2-6 at least). (A\nsimilar rundown to the following exists in Sphinx's answer)\n\nBlast (rank 1): He's mostly like King in his (alleged) supreme power and\naloofness, but he is considered to be 100% reliable to answer a call to\nresolve a truly world threatening crisis. Sitch seems to have an almost\nreligious faith in this.\n\nAtomic Samurai (rank 4): He quickly surmises that Bang may have difficulties\ndiffusing the Garou situation due to his emotional attachments. He then moves\nto solve that problem, and when he learns of the Monster Association he\nquickly moves to deal with that. He also has very potent underlings within the\nHero Association--I think someone, maybe Fubuki, says that his three\napprentices may already be at S-class level, and are only stopped from being\nsuch by Sweet Mask. So we know he responds quickly to threats to the HA, and\nessentially controls three of the four most powerful known A-class members.\nThat makes him a great asset to the organization itself.\n\nBofoi/Metal Knight (rank 6): Most of the HA's technology is due to Bofoi,\nincluding the new and old headquarters. His ability to remotely pilot powerful\nmech suits, possibly several at a time, grants him immense versatility to\nsolve a wide variety of issues. He does, however, seem pretty selective in\nwhat he'll actually bother with. However, the technology and construction\nalone is an incredible asset and service to the association, and he's proven\nvery reliable on that.\n\nChild Emperor (rank 5): Turns out he's a former student of Dr. Bofoi's. He has\na similar profound gift for technology. He is constantly trying to innovate\nnew devices to assist the Hero's Association, and during the Monster\nAssociation arc he shows a lot of leadership and initiative. Presumably the HA\nhad already seen such behaviors from him, making him very valuable.\n\nBang (rank 3): The wise old martial arts master. He is probably already\ninvaluable simply from being able to diffuse Tatsumaki's temper on occasion.\nHe is a seasoned teacher, guide, and trainer who does not seem to have any\nissues with responding to calls to action.\n\nTatsumaki (rank 2): While Blast is considered the sure bet policy against\nworldwide threats, Blast is not the person the association _truly_ relies on.\nTheir true insurance policy, that they can always fall back on to crush any\nthreat, is Tatsumaki. While she is immensely arrogant, do note how we see her\nseveral times complaining about how they're sending out some other hero when\nshe could do it herself; she has remarked that she finds all other heroes\n(except Blast, and sort of King) useless in comparison to her, and that she\ncould do it all herself. The association specifically calls on her to take out\nthe giant dinosaur monster guy, too. So while she is difficult personality-\nwise, she is immensely versatile and immensely reliable at solving problems\nsent her way, and even eager to solve more of them. The HA can expect her to\ndeal with anything they ask her to deal with, and that she will succeed.\n\n## Institutional Momentum\n\nThe Hero Association was founded several years ago. It is implied that it was\nfounded by the father of the child Saitama saves from Crablante, as a response\nto that event, in fact (this is just before Saitama trains to be a hero). The\nS-class did not originally exist then, but at some unspecified point the HA\nbecame aware of a certain group of generally low-ranked heroes that would\nroutinely devastate monsters that had in turned devastated the upper ranks of\nthe association. The S-class was made to acknowledge such heroes and make sure\ntheir talents weren't lost to the association. Presumably the S-class has been\naround for two years or so now. Saitama, however, hasn't been operating as a\nhero that long. The story starts not long after he's completed his three years\nof training; just long enough to begin suffering ennui from being so\noverpowered. As such, the S-class may have already existed before King started\ninadvertently getting credit for Saitama's actions. King would then be the\nrelative newcomer, and rising to the formal #1 (or #2) position in a short\nspan could be problematic, bureaucratically or otherwise, and so impeded.\n\nWe've also seen with Saitama that, even with the effective endorsement of\nmultiple S-class members (Bang, Genos, and King with what's already been shown\nin the anime) that he is (above) S-class in power, he still wasn't jumped to\nthe top of the ladder. His advancement has in fact been considered very rapid,\nand he's still not even been put into the top of A-class yet.\n\nThe main problem with this bit is that we've received a few bonus chapters\nabout Saitama's training days, wherein he was already one-shotting monsters\nbefore a year was up, and taking out monsters too powerful for multiple\nA-class heroes to deal with in a single absent-minded attack before he's lost\nhis hair, as well. So Saitama was in fact leaving a trail of unclaimed monster\nkills behind him for years. However, since he wasn't actively trying to deal\nwith any of the monsters in these stories perhaps they were rare occurrences.\nThe unlucky monster that crossed his path during his 10km run may be all he\ndealt with.\n\n## Institutional Failures\n\nWhile the story doesn't spend much time directly trying to say it, a lot of\nthe previously mentioned slow advance is meant to underscore a certain amount\nof inefficiency, bureaucratic red tape, inadequate tracking and power\nmeasurements, and even outright corruption that taints the operations of the\nHero's Association. It's a for-profit non-governmental organization that\nlargely caters to the whims and demands of its biggest donors. Much of the\nsystem is built around cults of popularity, with heroes judged on the coolness\nof their outfit and backstories, rather than their actual capabilities and\nachievements. Nothing is done to stop newbie crushing and \"camp sitters\" like\nFubuki and Sweet Mask. The S-class became necessary because of systemic\nfailures to recognize the actually effective and powerful people who flew\nunder the radar because they didn't care about these things, while those\nobsessed with their popularity stood at the top but yet proved unable to\nhandle the biggest threats. The issues with its ranking system are just\nsymptoms of the greater disease.\n\n> This has become a plot point in the webcomic, as many heroes, including\n> S-class heroes, have now left the HA in favor of a new hero organization,\n> and public perception of the HA has soured significantly (even before the\n> departures).\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-06-06T05:03:14.807", "id": "53160", "last_activity_date": "2019-06-06T07:28:39.220", "last_edit_date": "2019-06-06T07:28:39.220", "last_editor_user_id": "8024", "owner_user_id": "8024", "parent_id": "51547", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]

The\nword \"snug\" means \"something comfortable or warm\". She finally feels\ncomfortable for being herself and doesn't think it's a bad thing thanks to\nAraragi.

She is finally dealing with her\nproblems without the help of others ahem Araragi ahem. Well, he helps a bit,\nbut not in a direct way.

[ { "body": "\n\nWell for starters, let us examine the factors that influence the strength of a\nPotara fusion.\n\n * The first obvious factor would be the characters who fuse/ take part in the fusion. It would logically make sense for a fusion between stronger characters to be > than a fusion between weaker characters. For example, a fusion between Goten and Trunks was Effortlessly pummeled by a Base Vegeta on account of his superior strength.\n * A potara fusion also stacks additional multipliers. In the Buu saga when the fusion was first introduced, Goku contemplates fusing with Hercule who is substantially weaker than him. This proves that there is still some benefit from the fusion. More information regarding character Gokule can be seen [here](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Gokule)\n * Finally, in _Episode 114_ in DBS, Shin states that a fusion between Android 17 and 18 would be ideal as they are _Compatible_. So one can assume maybe the compatibility between the charaters result in a superior fusion\n\nWith regard to whether Kefla is stronger than Vegito\n\n * The Vegito from the Buu Saga is obviously weaker than Kefla. Caulifla and Kale are substantially more powerful than the Goku and Vegeta from the Buu Saga. Hence, it would logically make sense for Kefla to be stronger.\n * Based on the above logic, it would obviously make sense for Vegito from the Goku Black arc to be several time stronger than Kefla. SSJ2 Caulifla at the very least is comparable to SSJ2 Goku/Vegeta. Kale on the other hand at the very least, is comparable to SSJG Goku. Even if you consider Kale to be equivalent to SSJB Goku or Vegeta/ it still wouldn't make a difference as Caulifla is clearly no where close to Super Saiyan Blue.\n * The next main factor is based on compatibility. The compatibility between Goku + Vegeta and Kale + Caulifla is more or less identical as in both cases, they belong to the same race and also belong to the same gender and there really isn't any reason to indicate Kefla is a much more compatible fusion in comparison to Vegito\n\nAlso, I don't believe Kefla was ever strong enough to \"Kill\" UI Goku. This\nmisconception stems from comments made by Krillin and Roshi. I believe these\ncomments were made simply based off concern and that Roshi and Krillin clearly\nhave no idea with regard to Goku's level of power. During Goku's second fight\nwith Jiren, the latter uses a punch which Goku describes as the strongest\nattack he's ever seen and the power of which scares goku out of his SSJB form.\nGoku then proceeds to tank several of these punches one after the other in his\nbase form. For future reference, I think it would be much safer to take Whis's\nstatements at face value and possibly even the statements made by some of the\nGods of Destruction as the level of power being utilized by Goku is far beyond\nsomething which Roshi & Krillin can comprehend.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-04-19T03:11:01.450", "id": "51578", "last_activity_date": "2019-04-19T03:11:01.450", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "51576", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 }, { "body": "\n\nIMO, Kefla is stronger than Vegito from the Future Trunks Saga.\n\nKefla in super saiyan form was in a similar level to Goku Super Saiyan Blue\nKaioken x20.

The Z fighters have a sense of justice and care more about solving the problem and saving the lives of people rather than getting rewarded or acknowledged for the same. If a bunch of journalists and media begin to intervene or come watch the Z fighters fight, it is very likely they would get killed or the antagonist could use them as leverage against the Z fighters.\n * As far as crime is concerned, the Z fighters clearly don't have the time to stop petty theft and crime all over the planet. That said, Krillin is a police officer and uses his strength to an advantage against criminals and he is acknowledged very highly by his colleagues. When Gohan was a student, he spent his time-fighting petty crime as Saiyaman. It is also implied that Videl probably helped him as Saiyagirl after the Buu Saga. Adding to this, even Mr. Satan is several times stronger than an average human and he doesn't get involved in this situation. Even Videl, Chi Chi, and several fighters whose powers are nowhere in comparison to the Z fighters, are still strong enough to beat up petty robbers if they choose to. \n\nHence in summary, the only true benefit which the Z-fighters could possibly\ngain by exposing their power is probably attention from the media, monetary\ngain and probably expose Mr.Satan. Even if they did reveal their power, it\nseems very unlikely that people would believe that they are stronger than Mr.\nSatan. Also, Mr. Satan could also be considered a part of the Z fighters in a\nway, considering the fact that he's Gohan's father in law. Also, he's somewhat\nrepaying his debt to them in the form of financial assistance at times, or\nsmall other ways in which he can help. The Z-Fighters strength is too\nsignificant to deal with petty crime and that is the job of the law\nenforcement and even them revealing their power, wouldn't really make any\ndifference.\n\nIn conclusion, apart from the monetary benefit and publicity, there is nothing\nelse to be gained from displaying their power to the world.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-04-22T04:32:31.773", "id": "51611", "last_activity_date": "2019-04-24T02:29:57.780", "last_edit_date": "2019-04-24T02:29:57.780", "last_editor_user_id": "37728", "owner_user_id": "31104", "parent_id": "51606", "post_type": "answer", "score": 1 }, { "body": "\n\nIf the Z fighters reveal their power it will result in needy people asking for\nfavours and may impact their lives.

We have this as a premise because\nGoku and Vegeta seem to retain their selves and unique personalities even\nafter the fusion ends.\n\nNow, what does it mean for one to return to being their original self? For\nGoku and Vegeta to be themselves, their memories and personality have to be\nput back to the way they were before the fusion. If Vegeta now has some of\nGoku's memories, then he isn't completely himself anymore. In this regard, it\nseems that there are no lapses: we don't see Vegeta act like Goku, or vice-\nversa, and they don't complain about retaining any memories. They both retain\nmemories of what happened while fused, because they both experienced this. So\nif Goku or Vegeta retained one of the other's techniques, then they would have\neach other's memories, and the fusion would not have been completely\nnullified.\n\nThis would seem to be the case, but consider this: in humans, there are two\nkinds of memory: explicit and implicit, and these are further divided into\nsubcategories. And based on studies, it seems these two memory systems might\nbe separate. Goku and Vegeta's memories of their past experiences would be\nstored in their episodic memory, a type of explicit memory. Therefore, for\nthem to remain intact, the most important type of memory would be explicit.\nNow, marital arts techniques would be retained in muscle memory, a type of\nprocedural memory, which is a type of implicit memory. I suspect it would even\nbe the case with techniques like the Kamehameha that they are stored, at least\npartially, in muscle memory, because they are gained through training and\npractice.\n\nSince implicit memory and explicit memory are separate systems, let us\nentertain the notion that after fusion ends, Goku and Vegeta retain each\nother's explicit memory. In this case, it might be the case that they learn\neach other's martial arts techniques. Even supposing this is the case, this\nstill will likely not be enough for Vegeta to use Goku's techniques. The\nreason is thus: Vegeta still lacks Goku's explicit knowledge of the\ntechniques. There are two basic type of explicit memory: semantic, which deals\nwith factual information and episodic, which deals with recollection of every\nday events. Both types are important.\n\nTo understand why, let's look at the Kaio-ken technique, and imagine Vegeta\ntrying to use it. King Kai sat Goku down and explained everything he needed to\nknow about this technique. There may be nuances about how to use your energy\nand things one needs to keep in mind when using it. These facts would be\nsemantic memory. When it comes to wielding energy, these facts could be\nessential when it comes to wielding energy (we can't know for sure, because\nthe mechanics of energy techniques are not well-defined in _Dragon Ball_ ).\nAnother important factor would be the actual memories of using the technique\nfrom episodic memory. As for why this is important, we again return to the\nKaio-ken. Goku must have clear memories of being in extreme pain after\noverusing this technique. Even more so than King Kai's warning, these memories\nwill tell him, \"Hey, don't use Kaio-ken x 100, because it'll really hurt\nafterwards!\" But if Vegeta doesn't have Goku's implicit memory, he won't\nretain this either after fusion, so he won't have any sort of understanding of\nthe technique or its drawbacks.\n\nIn conclusion, we suppose that it is a certainty that explicit memory of one's\ncounterpart is not retained after fusion. We concede that it may be possible\nimplicit memory is retained. But even in the event that implicit memory of\none's counterpart is retained, it likely would not be enough to learn the\nother's techniques, because they would lack a full understanding of the\ntechniques.\n\n## Sources:\n\nI got all of this from skimming through memory category pages of Wikipedia, so\nmy knowledge on the subject is far from complete.\n\n 1.

He sees them as hardworking\nindividualists who pull themselves up by the bootstraps, only to get trodden\nover by conformist heroic ideologues. As a child he was always disappointed\nthat the monsters invariably lost, no matter how cool, or strong, or\nhardworking they were.\n\nMoreover, the people attach themselves to the concept of heroes and become\ndependent upon their inevitable victory. The people do not work as hard to\nprevent wars, catastrophes, and monsters in general because they have the\nsafety net of heroes. So, somewhat paradoxically, the efforts of heroes to end\nsuffering and calamities actually ends up making these into a pandemic. Garou\nsees this as a pox upon humankind, and sets himself the goal of rectifying it\nby becoming the ultimate monster who triumphs over all heroes and justice, and\nforces the world as a whole to achieve unity and peace in their opposition to\nhim.

The question is, what\nunits of time is that even using? It doesn't say explicitly, and fans seem to\nfall into two camps. Some seem to think the numbers before the : are hours,\nwhile others think it is minutes. In the first case the span was 1 centisecond\n(=.01 s), while in the second it is a hundredth of that: .0001s.\n\nThe first people are, in my estimation, a bunch of loons. But to be fair\nthere's actually reason to think it. If you read a digital clock it'll use an\nhh:mm format, so that would naturally suggest the first unit in this image's\nstop watch is for hours. Every (sprinter's) stopwatch I've ever seen, however,\nuses a mm:ss form, followed by centiseconds in some other format (usually just\nslightly smaller numbers). If you're measuring hours you're not measuring a\nsprinter, after all! Going more precise than centiseconds is unusual for a\nstopwatch, as the inaccuracy in the human starting and stopping it is greater\nthan that. Professional sports timing devices (that aren't human-operated) and\nhigh-speed cameras can fairly easy achieve accuracy at the .0001s level,\nthough many sports may find accuracy to .001s sufficient.\n\nThere are a few fans who have tried to estimate his movement speed and attack\nspeed from the panels in this chapter. The numbers kind of end up all over the\nplace. [This user used the .01s interval and calculated his hands during\nattacks moved at around Mach\n5.3](https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Gwynbleiddd/Lightspeed_flash_\\(calc\\)).\nThat's about the lower end of Speed of Sound sonic's (movement) speed\nsuggested by W.Are's answer. Using the .0001s interval you get Mach 530,\ninstead, which is radically faster; 100 times faster. I've seen a post saying\nthe interval was a microsecond, which is .000001s, which gets us up around 1%\nto 2% of the speed of light. But that definitely seems like a misreading of\nthe stopwatch.\n\nAnd one way or another, soon after this panel Flashy Flash starts moving even\nfaster. But we no longer have a stopwatch in the panels. However, he uses an\nafter image technique much like we saw Sonic use against Saitama. Sonic\ncreated 10 after images he was moving so fast. But Flashy Flash moves so fast\nthat the multitude of after images looks \"like a snake\":\n\n> [](https://i.stack.imgur.com/rQm9r.jpg)\n\nThis indicates he is dramatically faster than Sonic, and attacks at upwards of\nMach 5 (or Mach 500!)* when he's not even going full out.\n\n* * *\n\n*And that's making assumptions. Such as each fist going one at a time, and might underestimate the total distance each fist has to travel, as the previous one may twist the next one to attack further back. Just try a few boxing jabs and note how if you jab with your right then your body twists the right shoulder forward and the left back. You can also see in the image that there's apparently quite a lot of arc in the strikes, and even changes in attack angles suggesting he's moving a fair bit. We're even making assumptions on the time interval: maybe everything up to before he started attacking left it just short of hitting the 02 number, and in that tiny span left he finished every attack exactly as the time hit 02. We just don't have enough digits of precision to be sure; but traditional storytelling norms suggest our assumption is accurate.\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-06-03T10:51:03.183", "id": "53135", "last_activity_date": "2019-06-03T11:39:43.230", "last_edit_date": "2019-06-03T11:39:43.230", "last_editor_user_id": "8024", "owner_user_id": "8024", "parent_id": "52696", "post_type": "answer", "score": 6 }, { "body": "\n\nIn the more recent chapters of the one punch man webcomic sonic and flash meet\nup for a duel and sonic forces flash to use one of his ultimate techniques\nflash kick and sonic actually dodges it and he dodges it fairly easily and is\nunfazed by flash he even states that he could kill flash even i think sonic\nmight be faster then flash\n\n", "comment_count": 1, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-07-07T21:33:40.943", "id": "53549", "last_activity_date": "2019-07-07T21:33:40.943", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "47992", "parent_id": "52696", "post_type": "answer", "score": 0 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nThe webcomic is the original. The manga is the adaptation of the webcomic, and\nthe anime is based on the manga. The webcomic is noticeably further along. The\nanime, including the most recently aired episode from season 2, does not even\nput us at chapter 50 of the webcomic. The Garou arc ends in the webcomic at\naround Chapter 97, and currently extends to chapter 112.\n\nThe manga, however, begins to add a great deal more content not present in the\nwebcomic at around the chapter 50 mark. The basic idea is still the same, but\na lot of additional fights and sub-storylines get added.\n\n> There's a tournament story coming up that you can see several characters and\n> scenes from in the season 2 opening. No such thing exists in the webcomic,\n> nor do many of the characters that appear in the tournament, including the\n> characters that are the most important to the storyline.\n\nSo, yes, the manga is the more \"fleshed out\" version. ONE cooperates with\ncreating (or at least approving) the new storylines and expanded backstories\nthat appear in the manga, but Murata adds his own little take and spin on\nthings in the end. My understanding is that everything in the manga can be\nconsidered canon at this point.\n\nSome people prefer the one over the other, that said. There are two major\npoints of contrast.\n\n * The webcomic has a crude simplicity to its art style. There are a few scenes here and there were you can see the mangaka actually does have greater artistic skills than you might otherwise have come to believe. This was the result of ONE originally not expecting it to take off in the way it did, and so approached it in a very relaxed style. Some feel it adds to the charm, and at times accentuates the comedy and certain character attitudes in ways a more refined artistic style perhaps could not. On the other hand, the manga is drawn by Murata, a highly skilled professional manga artist, capable of producing exquisitely detailed art. He approaches the task with a great deal of fun, often live-streaming as he draws new chapters. He was a fan of the webcomic who proposed the idea of him doing the art on a manga adaptation to ONE. Early in the manga there are scenes where he is clearly just reveling in the story and world and not worrying about forcing the story forward.\n * Pacing will be different. The manga version often drastically expands existing fights and backstories, or adds all new ones, while also introducing a whole host of additional monsters and heroes. The Boros fight in the webcomic is much shorter than it is in the manga, and Saitama never gets launched to the moon in the webcomic, for example. Some enjoy getting all of these extra details, while others may wish it would just move on to the next plot point. You can expect the manga will stay in this more heavily detailed but slightly more meandering style, as it is done in part to try to stop the manga from catching up to the webcomic too quickly (the webcomic has had multiple long hiatuses in its history, including one that only ended this month).\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-04-28T07:28:27.337", "id": "52710", "last_activity_date": "2019-05-01T05:52:05.697", "last_edit_date": "2019-05-01T05:52:05.697", "last_editor_user_id": "11083", "owner_user_id": "8024", "parent_id": "52705", "post_type": "answer", "score": 6 } ]

[ { "body": "\n\nIt is expensive and a new technology that would even cost the printing\ncompanies money. They would need new hardware and/or software to get the files\nin those formats, much more space on their machines (files in any graphic\nformat are very large). It is actually so much more money for good digital\nanimation art, especially when Manga artists each have a style. They have used\n\"pens\" for drawing and inking since they start drawing. Kubo, the creator of\nBleach, always drew in school; he still will say he draws to draw cool stuff.\nSo, I imagine most drew in class or at home with standard writing tools, and\nmaybe a set of inking pens and color if they were into it.\n\nAs far as the monitors for drawing, yes they are cool, but artists often don't\nhave one for the same reason I don't, they are expensive. They could probably\nget money through crowd funding faster than I could, but they would need\nsomething very expensive, not to mention the drawing programs. Anime studios\ndon't use them (usually on weekly airing shows especially); the first draft\nand sketch is generally done on paper, the same way it has been for probably\nalmost if not 20+ years. Drawing it, scanning and then adding color. I can\nimagine that actually take more time as well. Most well known artist/writers\nhave an aid and maybe a few others helping them with the inking. Transition to\nall digital would be so foreign, I doubt we will see it happen, at least until\ngraphic tablets, monitors ect. are easily available and the price is lower\nthan now. A good one could be $1K, maybe $600, but they can be 3 times and\neven more. So if they want it to feel right, look right and be efficient it's\nprobably going to be a lot of testing of different monitors, programs, brush\nadd-ons, and more. It's not really feasible right now. I guess if one happens\nto have started using them a while ago and feels comfortable and can work more\nefficiently with the style remaining the same or better, they are not going to\nuse it unless their work is better. They can't afford to show Toei an idea\nthat was done differently than the usual methods so their style, and maybe\neven flow of work would not be the same.\n\nNot to mention coloring would look way different. Would shading style change\nat that point? In manga many kinds of shading and small details are used.\nThink the parallel lines very close together and straight, that form of\nshading is unique to the art. With a graphic program you would need to place\nevery line pixel perfect; they could use snapping or magnets, but that would\nthrow off the next line to draw if it's a persons face or something. On a\nmonitor instead of drawing those lines they could just pick a lighter color,\nor shade, grays would be everywhere. Maybe more color, but it wouldn't look\nthe same; maybe close with the right brush, but not exact.\n\nExpenses, tradition, experience, style, comfort level, and efficient work all\nplay a role.\n\n", "comment_count": 2, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-05-01T07:11:04.020", "id": "52752", "last_activity_date": "2019-05-31T21:24:34.023", "last_edit_date": "2019-05-31T21:24:34.023", "last_editor_user_id": "36222", "owner_user_id": "43988", "parent_id": "52751", "post_type": "answer", "score": -1 }, { "body": "\n\nThere are two primary limitations to an artist switching from traditional to\ndigital media:\n\n 1. Adjustment\n 2. Money\n\nThat's really all there is to it.\n\nThe two reasons go very much hand in hand; most artists will start with\ntraditional media because quality digital media is expensive. There's no\ngetting around it. A basic setup requires a computer with good graphics\nsupport, a software package that can be used for comics/manga production, and\na graphics tablet (typically a higher end one like Wacom's Cintiq).\n\nOn the other hand, anyone can pick up some free scratch paper and a pencil or\npen and start sketching. There's virtually no barrier to entry for learning\ntraditional media. Once you start to get more serious about it, yes,\ntraditional media can also get expensive (comic/manga art boards, multiple\npens and brushes, various types of inks, screentones, alcohol markers for\ncolor pages, and so on), but you don't have to spend a dime to start.\n\nThere's a process of adjustment that takes time when switching from\ntraditional media to working digitally. The two feel different, even if you're\nworking with something like a Cintiq where you don't have to disassociate your\nhand position from what you're seeing. You're learning a new medium, and it\nalways takes time to adjust to it. An active manga artist is working on a\nstrict publication schedule, and isn't necessarily going to have time to go\nthrough that adjustment period; artists who are extremely popular will have\ngreater demands on them, and those who are just starting out will have no\nability to ask for schedule changes or additional assistants to work through\nthe transition.\n\nThere are artists who do use digital media (Hiroya Oku, Asano Inio, Natsume\nOno), and certainly there are some who would be interested in making the\ntransition, but for many, it may well be simply a preference that keeps them\nfrom making the shift. They prefer the feel of a pen or brush on paper to a\nstylus on screen, and therefore have no motivation to sink either the time or\ncost into transitioning to digital. Working digitally has an additional\nlimitation when it comes to assistants: either you are now a one-person show,\nor you have to sink money into a workstation with tablet for each assistant on\nyour team. Particularly with popular artists who depend on their assistants to\nmeet deadlines, there may be no choice but to stick with paper that can be\npassed around between the people working on the title.\n\nThere are no technical limitations. Multiple companies make Cintiq-like\ngraphics tablets at various price points and functionality, allowing for a\nmore \"traditional\" workflow for the artist. Multiple companies publish\nsoftware that can be used to create manga pages, including screen tones and\ntools that emulate traditional media very effectively; any of these programs\ncan export into any number of standard formats that can be read by the\npublishing company, which is undoubtedly using digital versions of all pages,\nregardless of how they're produced, to assemble their magazines. The only\nlimitations are in the cost of transitioning, both fiscally in actual money\nspent, and the investment of time needed to adjust to the new media.\n\nSources: [Manga Answerman - What Tools Does A Mangaka Use To Make\nManga?](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2018-10-26/.138694),\npersonal experience with various hardware and software\n\n", "comment_count": 0, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": "2019-05-31T21:20:34.773", "id": "53111", "last_activity_date": "2019-05-31T21:20:34.773", "last_edit_date": null, "last_editor_user_id": null, "owner_user_id": "36222", "parent_id": "52751", "post_type": "answer", "score": 2 } ]
