Summary
Life gets pretty boring when you can beat the snot out of any villain with just one punch。
Nothing about Saitama passes the eyeball test when it comes to superheroes， from his lifeless expression to his bald head to his unimpressive physique。 However， this average-looking guy has a not-so-average problem—he just can’t seem to find an opponent strong enough to take on！
Child Emperor uses his trump card， the robotic Brave Giant， to fight against the reincarnated Phoenix Man。 However， his enemy easily counters this last-ditch attempt， brushing it off as a mere toy。 When Phoenix Man then evolves into an even stronger monster， Child Emperor’s conviction is shaken。 Does this spell the end for the clever child hero？

As have all of the other volumes before， Volume 22 of One Punch Man was engaging from beginning to end with its humor and action。 The dynamic characters that the author and artist， ONE， has created are relatable in their personal struggles and insecurities and their achievements， making for a roller-coaster ride as you follow them from one panel to the next。 I would bring up what I personally favored from this book， but I would like not to ruin the chance for everyone else to have the same fun t As have all of the other volumes before， Volume 22 of One Punch Man was engaging from beginning to end with its humor and action。 The dynamic characters that the author and artist， ONE， has created are relatable in their personal struggles and insecurities and their achievements， making for a roller-coaster ride as you follow them from one panel to the next。 I would bring up what I personally favored from this book， but I would like not to ruin the chance for everyone else to have the same fun that I had reading this。 。。。more

This volume spends most of it's time with Child Emperor fighting Resurrected Phoenix Man and it's not just a physical fight。 Resurrected Phoenix Man tries to appeal to Child Emperor's intellect， inner darkness and how unappreciated he feels by the adult heroes。 It's an interesting twist and it does change the stakes。 then spoiler， spoiler， spoiler。 -Saitama is back in this one and Child Emperor still has no idea who he really is or what he can do， so nothing new there。 The story pivots to Zombie This volume spends most of it's time with Child Emperor fighting Resurrected Phoenix Man and it's not just a physical fight。 Resurrected Phoenix Man tries to appeal to Child Emperor's intellect， inner darkness and how unappreciated he feels by the adult heroes。 It's an interesting twist and it does change the stakes。 then spoiler， spoiler， spoiler。 -Saitama is back in this one and Child Emperor still has no idea who he really is or what he can do， so nothing new there。 The story pivots to Zombieman who says "I'm not good at fighting。 My specialties are espionage， intelligence and investigating contaminated areas。" He then proceeds to be good at fighting in one of the gorier fights they've included in a while。 It's great。 Pig God is teased for 2 pages， so I'm wondering if we'll see that fight in Vol 23？ We get a little more of Amai Mask being super sketchy and quite sociopathic。 My respect for Iaian goes up in this last section and Bushi Drill and Okama Itachi show that they are learning by example from both Iaian and Atomic Samurai。 - All in all a very entertaining volume and the plot does move （even slowly） forward towards saving Waganma as he's in Child Emperor's care still。 。。。more

One-Punch Man， Vol。 22 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next five chapters （102–106） of the on-going manga series with a bonus story。The tankōbon continues the Monster Association Arc and concludes the fight between the Child Emperor and Phoenix Man， who has the powers of resurrecting into a more powerful being。 Child Emperor is tested to his limits， but manages to defeat him and manages to rescue Waganma， the son of Narinki， a high-raking executive and one of the One-Punch Man， Vol。 22 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next five chapters （102–106） of the on-going manga series with a bonus story。The tankōbon continues the Monster Association Arc and concludes the fight between the Child Emperor and Phoenix Man， who has the powers of resurrecting into a more powerful being。 Child Emperor is tested to his limits， but manages to defeat him and manages to rescue Waganma， the son of Narinki， a high-raking executive and one of the primary sponsors of the Hero Association。The middle chapter focuses on Zombieman and his battle against Vampire from the Monster Association。 While the last two chapters are focused on Iaian， Bushidrill， and Okkamaitachi – disciples of Atomic Samurai who witness the battle of Sweet Mask vs。 Do-S and the aftermath of the unseen battle between Pig God vs。 The Great Food Tub。 Meanwhile Saitama is just wondering around lost looking for a good battle to fight and finding none。This tankōbon is written by One and illustrated by Yusuke Murata。 The tankōbon continues the battle with the Monster Association， which seems like it is taking forever。 The focus is divided on many battles happening simultaneously， which gives the grandness of the fight， but it is getting slightly tiresome。 However， it is nice to see other heroes show their abilities as if Saitama is in the middle of the fight it would end too quickly – with just a punch。All in all， One-Punch Man， Vol。 22 is a good continuation to a new series that seems really intriguing and I can't wait to read more。 。。。more

I really liked this one。 Child Emperor and Zombieman are great characters， and I lamented while reading previous volumen that we hadn't spent that much time with them。 This satiated my craving。 And the short interaction between those two， that gave Child Emperor the motivation to keep doing good， was heartwarming。 I really liked this one。 Child Emperor and Zombieman are great characters， and I lamented while reading previous volumen that we hadn't spent that much time with them。 This satiated my craving。 And the short interaction between those two， that gave Child Emperor the motivation to keep doing good， was heartwarming。 。。。more

Thank you to Netgalley and Viz for a free advanced copy in excange for an honest review。One-Punch Man continues to be one of my favorites， not necessarily due to the plot alone， but because of how it balances humor and action。 This was another exciting installment， and I'm excited for more。 Thank you to Netgalley and Viz for a free advanced copy in excange for an honest review。One-Punch Man continues to be one of my favorites， not necessarily due to the plot alone， but because of how it balances humor and action。 This was another exciting installment， and I'm excited for more。 。。。more

Las batallas siguen siendo una genialidad。 Zombie man es mi héroe calse "S" favorito hasta este momento。 Y hace mucho que no veía a Saitama hacer algo más que vagar por ahí。 Las batallas siguen siendo una genialidad。 Zombie man es mi héroe calse "S" favorito hasta este momento。 Y hace mucho que no veía a Saitama hacer algo más que vagar por ahí。 。。。more

殭屍俠超帥！漫畫中的幾個分鏡另人刮目相看！20集兩個協會正式開打，每個S級紛紛出招，打鬥看得很過癮，閃光弗拉行雲流水般的攻擊，還說出了跟崎玉曾對傑諾斯說過的話，超帥氣～不過埼玉還是一如往常的欠揍帥氣，禿頭披風俠最高w

I really love the direction that the story is going in。 Seeing Tatsumaki go all out against Psychos was amazing。 I can't wait for new chapters。 I really want to see a "real" Amai Mask fight。 I really love the direction that the story is going in。 Seeing Tatsumaki go all out against Psychos was amazing。 I can't wait for new chapters。 I really want to see a "real" Amai Mask fight。 。。。more

Yet another good but kinda dragged volume。 Again， action is good， there are a couple funny moments， and the characters are fun。There are， here， some hooks for future plots， I guess， but I feel the overall plot progressed almost nothing at this volume。

Mostly good。 Zombieman is fantastic， but the Sweet Mask bit at the end was just okay。 We'll see how the next volume goes。 Mostly good。 Zombieman is fantastic， but the Sweet Mask bit at the end was just okay。 We'll see how the next volume goes。 。。。more

Este tomo está muy completo。 Por un lado， nos muestra la asombrosa lucha de Niño Emperador contra un enemigo polivalente como pocos se han visto， pero a su vez se ahonda en las necesidades psicológicas del pequeño integrante de la clase S， mientras nos dejan caer， sin saber realmente su veracidad， cierta conspiración muy turbia e insidiosa。Luego el foco se centra en Zombie Man， un personaje con tal nivel de resistencia y recuperación que permite su soberanía sobre cualquier contrincante。Finalmen Este tomo está muy completo。 Por un lado， nos muestra la asombrosa lucha de Niño Emperador contra un enemigo polivalente como pocos se han visto， pero a su vez se ahonda en las necesidades psicológicas del pequeño integrante de la clase S， mientras nos dejan caer， sin saber realmente su veracidad， cierta conspiración muy turbia e insidiosa。Luego el foco se centra en Zombie Man， un personaje con tal nivel de resistencia y recuperación que permite su soberanía sobre cualquier contrincante。Finalmente， se muestra buena parte de la oscura mentalidad que tiene Dulce Máscara y se muestra una sorpresiva revelación sobre su naturaleza。 。。。more

The most mesmerizing moments here are highlighted in Saitama's battle as the artwork continues to turn those creatures into epic beings from hell until Saitama ridicules it all。The volume is split between multiple different confrontations as they put an end to some villains allowing the story to move on to much more interesting battles to come。Yours truly，Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote。com/ The most mesmerizing moments here are highlighted in Saitama's battle as the artwork continues to turn those creatures into epic beings from hell until Saitama ridicules it all。The volume is split between multiple different confrontations as they put an end to some villains allowing the story to move on to much more interesting battles to come。Yours truly，Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote。com/ 。。。more

I'll review up to chapter 181， which seems to be the most current one。 I don't know if it will fall in this volume， but it doesn't matter。 That's part of my problem with this series nowadays， that it doesn't fucking matter。The author of this series started with an anti-narrative concept that you just have to admire him for: making a world of superheroes in which the protagonist is so strong that he can kill （view spoiler）[almost （hide spoiler）] anybody with a single punch。 What tension do you wr I'll review up to chapter 181， which seems to be the most current one。 I don't know if it will fall in this volume， but it doesn't matter。 That's part of my problem with this series nowadays， that it doesn't fucking matter。The author of this series started with an anti-narrative concept that you just have to admire him for: making a world of superheroes in which the protagonist is so strong that he can kill （view spoiler）[almost （hide spoiler）] anybody with a single punch。 What tension do you wring out of such a story？ How can you have conflict？ He focused on the psychological aspects of the absurd protagonist: he hasn't found the flow for a long， long time。 He doesn't see the point in trying hard for anything， and is generally dysthymic in an uncaring way。 There’s also plenty to develop regarding everybody else’s reaction to him and how they deal with a man in their community that nobody could stop， and that could kill anybody he wished。 The actual arc of this series is told in what encompasses the first season of the anime。 As far as I'm concerned， Saitama's story ended after the fight against his antithesis Boros （the alien who had spent decades travelling through space trying to find someone that was worth fighting， because his life seemed meaningless otherwise）， when the protagonist realized that yes， he might be unstoppable and that gets annoying， but he can do good for people and find friends while earning some respect and money along the way。Deep into the rest of the series so far， we've been focusing on a dozens of chapters long conflict between a team of monsters and a team of heroes。 We've met dozens of characters， many of them absurd， charming and sometimes interesting， but for any of it to matter， the author needs to keep the protagonist occupied so he can’t solve the problem immediately; in the case of these last twenty chapters or so， Saitama is literally lost and separated from the main fight。 I come back to this series periodically to read the half a dozen chapters that have come out in the meantime。 Only for generally bland entertainment， though; the drawings and the fights are tremendous， but the plot cannot handle its concept anymore。 It's sad to see Saitama， one of the most recognizable characters of manga/anime in the last decade， turned into a minor character in his own story。In my numerous reviews for the series “I Am a Hero”， which sadly I finished a few days ago， I mentioned that the Japanese have a penchant for telling the main story of a series in the first eight to ten volumes or so， and then move on to systemizing both the inevitable peculiarity of one of the main characters， as well as the conceptual problem or situation。 In this case the peculiarity is the protagonist’s completely unexplained， and unexplainable， unstoppability。 The author chose to give it an explanation， which screws everything up。 Apparently when anyone pushes their mental and physical abilities to an almost superhuman level， they push their “limiter” further。 Saitama was supposedly so hardcore that he completely broke through。 The problem is that we saw what the protagonist went through， and it wasn’t remotely as much as what many later characters introduced experienced， so it breaks Saitama’s uniqueness as well as the internal logic of the series。 Not much else to be said: great fights， entertaining character moments， the women are generally gorgeous （Fubuki in particular; I need me some VR version of that （view spoiler）[ （hide spoiler）]）， Saitama is funny and ridiculous as usual。 But if you aren’t like me， who can mindlessly follow a manga series 181 chapters in， just watch the first season of the anime， produced by one of the best animation studios in the world （link to an example from the show）， and avoid the second and likely other following seasons， that for scheduling reasons were given to another studio that couldn’t compete with the first neither in resources nor in talent。["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more
