Murata's version of One Punch Man, serialized on WebYoungJump, was updated with 207 episodes on April 7. However, due to the fact that the content of this statement is very different from the original version of ONE Teacher, it has also triggered a series of discussions among fans.
(Note: The original version of this plot can be read from 87 words)
The latest episode kicked off with an inflammatory headline like "The Strongest and the Fiercest in the Confrontation." In front of the heroes who rescue ordinary people, Saitama and hungry wolves engage in a fierce battle. Although the story synopsis alone is not much different from ONE's original, the fact that the hungry wolf has become a "close hero" is quite different. In addition, Saitama's attitude towards the hungry wolf has also changed, and it is more humane than the original.
The hungry wolf in the original game defeats a group of heroes, thus establishing his own image of a strange man who "must be solved", and is eventually subdued by Saitama. In Murata's story, he goes straight to war with Saitama. Snot, who has been saved many times by hungry wolves, believes that he is not a freak, but a hero. In order to fulfill the child's wish to stop the hungry wolf, Saitama, who fights against him, also shines with the heroic brilliance of the royal road.
Although the plot was modified from the original, many readers gave a satisfactory answer to this unfolding. Among them, there are many "Saitama is handsome to stop hungry wolves for children", "such Saitama is a real hero" and so on. However, some fans insist that the version of the original is better, believing that the Murata version of the hungry wolf is "not desperate enough", the Murata version is "just a high-quality fan work", "the hungry wolf I am most looking forward to is missing"...
Compared with the belief in the original work to become an "absolutely necessary evil", the hungry wolf in the Murata version is more in pursuit of the ultimate in martial arts. And his actions to "become a freak" are much gentler than the original. Although this is consistent with Saitama's final attempt to break the Hungry Wolf's "compromise of becoming a freak just to become a hero", it is difficult to show the enlightenment made by the Hungry Wolf in the original to implement his beliefs.
However, to say that the Murata version has a huge divergence from the original, it has already begun when the No.1 hero explosion appeared. Compared with the previous original content, this change may only be a small witch...
