In related news, I recently got told many of the characters names are puns of sorts. It's s shame they don't translate well.
Pretty sure it’s a fundamental rule of anime that anyone with green hair has to have “midori” somewhere in their name.

Bakugou’s name in English would be something like “Ace Boomer”. They’re all patently ridiculous.

I finally got around to starting Utena after finding it on an old drive. The translations of the songs is so bad that I almost don't want to know what a coherent version of them would be like.

Also, I also love the stupid pun names characters in anime get.

Blech.

At the request of one of my co-workers kids, I pulled the complete (to date) One Piece collection. 

I must say, this series is the longest running deus ex machina I have ever bore witness to.
What do you mean, "longest running deus ex machina"? Isn't One Piece the series where everything is foreshadowed?

I mean "Oh no, it looks like luffy will lose-- NOPE! LAST MINUTE REVERSAL!"

(ad nauseum)

Notable examples:

Millennial dragon arc-- Oh no! They killed the senile millennial dragon! Oh wait, he called lots of friends! Also-- Look! Sunken island suddenly surfaces! YAY! (also, Reincarnation is a thing! Dead senile dragon isn't really dead, just reborn magically! double yay!)

Louge town arc:  Oh no! The other pirates have Luffy pinned on the execution platform, and are gonna off the kid! Oh wait-- SUDDEN LIGHTNING STRIKE FROM FREAK STORM! Luffy is made of rubber, and is unharmed! YAY! (also, said freak storm propels Luffy's ship out of reach of the marines out to capture him! Thank goodness for deus ex machina!)

etc.


Pretty much every single episode follows that format-- It's one continual deluge of deus ex machina.

To be fair, Luffy being shockproof is something you could guess, being rubber and all; The lightning and storm were probably made by Dragon, so not just a Protagonist-Friendly Natural Disaster, even if it had no foreshadowing the first time.
And the millennial dragon arc is non-canon, so it makes sense that it sucks.

I always found it to be in the vein of DBZ and the like, where everyone is completely doomed and then the hero just sort of decides its time to win now and does so.

So who would win in a fight set in the One Punch Man universe? Saitama or Mumen Rider?

Oh this is going to be awful. You can't turn a gag manga into a fighting game when the main character of said manga is basically unbeatable in a fight.

I'm sure that if you play as Saitama there's a button you have to hold down in order to hold back and not win instantly.

Clearly when playing Saitama, the difficulty is in not just straight up exploding the world when you make a punch.

Someone in the YouTube comments had the fun idea to base it on the underground king bit, where the more damage he takes, the more fun Saitama is having, and if he "loses", he wakes up and reveals the whole thing to have been a dream.

But yeah, it's gonna be trash.

Not necessarily trash, just not very canon-like. Of course, I haven't really seen anything for it, so I can't say either way.
It could be fun and incredibly innacurate to canon.

I mean... with that trailer thing saitama looked a lot like he wasn't getting hit or taking damage or anything, and there's no indication what happens when he actually lands a hit. It's possible it'll somehow be sorta' canon-ish just based on that specific vid. How an unbeatable get-touched-you-die character is going to/could be handled is an interesting design question.

E: Though it occurs to me the real question is if the crows will be playable. If so that'll immediately net the game an extra star equivalent, no hesitation.
