Tatsumaki Flashes The Strongest Hero – One Punch Man Chapter 181

This chapter, titled Scalp Friction, has aSpeed-o’-Sound Sonic cover for the first time since chapter 78! As Saitama crashes through a line of tallbuildings, Sweet Mask is watching from the windows across in utter shock at the devastation. Others next to him are screaming and runningfor their lives. But as Sweet Mask gets closer to the glass,he recognizes Saitama and is even more confused by the situation. He’s been pretty interested in Saitama lately,so this will definitely add to that. Saitama catches himself on top of a buildingand looks absolutely badass as he hits the.

Brakes with his Crocs. He angrily yelled at Tatsumaki, saying thatthey’ve gotten too far from their original location and should go back. She’s surprised for a moment, but then shelowers her gaze. With a more serious look, she agrees and dropsdown to where he’s standing. As they stand face to face, the height differenceis really obvious. The two stare at each other blankly for awhile. Saitama takes the sudden calm as a genuineagreement and is surprised by how easily that worked.

He tries to remember where they came fromwhile Tatsumaki looks at him even blanker than before. She quickly grabbed him by the head, dragginghim through the air. Apparently, he was pointing in the wrong direction,and it triggered her enough to slide his head along the side of the building. She keeps dragging him along, this time onthe pavement, offering to kindly show him the way. Saitama wonders if all this will be bad forhis scalp, which only annoys Tatsumaki more since he’s not taking her power seriously.

But suddenly, Tatsumaki noticed that somethingwas following them. Keeping up with the speed of these two isno small feat, so their pursuer was either a hero or a monster. Running at full speed after them is Speed-o’-SoundSonic wearing a menacing smile. Tatsumaki doesn’t recognize him, but he’snot very interested in her either. He’s only after Saitama and throws a volleyof Shuriken at the two. And not just any Shuriken,Homing Exploding Shuriken. The shuriken are flying at full speed, nearlycatching up to them as Sonic says they’re impossible to outrun.

With half her focus on Saitama, Tatsumakicasually takes control of the blades and tells Sonic to get lost. That’s followed by her throwing the weaponsback at Sonic, shocking him as he narrowly evades. The problem is – they’re homing devices! So he has to keep dodging, bending, jumping,and flipping. Constantly moving around so he’s not hitby them. Eventually, it starts getting on his nerves,so he’s not paying attention to his surroundings as much.

Which is why he didn’t see the small, whitedog nearby that’s letting out a smelly turd. Once he stepped in it his rhythm and perfecttiming were completely thrown off. Upon contact there was a massive chain explosionthat surprisingly, wasn’t as loud as Sonic cursing Saitama. If Speed-o’-Sound Sonic hadn’t cookedhis Monster Cell, he’d be much more of an actual threat. Maybe not to these two characters at the top,but he’d probably be close to Flashy Flash level at least. With that over, Saitama notices that they’reback at the Hero Association Complex.

Saitama slips out of Tatsumaki’s hold beforeshe can even react. She’s completely shocked by this. With a smile, Saitama lets Tatsumaki knowthat she’s free to start rampaging again. Feeling like he’s looking down on her, Tatsumakireminds him that he’s the one being tested to see if he deserves to be around her sisteror not. She even threatens the possibility of hergoing all out. Which Saitama welcomed her to do. Specifically telling her to go all out ashe balled up a single fist. Tatsumaki had never been underestimated likethis before, so she doesn’t know how to.

Process his words. But it doesn’t take long for her to beginchanneling her powers with a smile. A bit more awestruck than upset now. Tatsumaki only recognizes the words of thestrong. Even then, aside from Blast, King, and maybeGenos at this point, she doesn’t show any respect to her fellow S-Class Heroes. Saitama will need to do more than just takeand avoid hit for her to recognize his true power! We go back to the scene underneath the HeroComplex where Fubuki disbanded her group.

The heroes who were sent to investigate don’tunderstand the mood and the arguing that’s going on, but one guy has an idea. Among the heroes is a former member of theBlizzard Group named Needle Star, who is clearly upset. He was kicked out for fighting with them,but they’re still arguing among themselves anyway. Part of the group is confused on what to donext, while the rest are annoyed at being pushed aside like that. A blond guy is so frustrated that he decidesit’s time to give up, throwing his jacket.

On the ground to prove his point. On the other hand, he admits he only joinedbecause even weak guys can have it easy in the Blizzard Group. A couple more guys we hardly ever see decidethey’re quitting, too. He says he can’t deal with the Association’s‘dark side’, as well as the S-class heroes treating them poorly. Another man with a mustache starts takingoff his jacket, feeling upset about Fubuki’s lack of explanation. She just disbanded the group after her sistersaid they were all weak.

Then we have characters like Lily, Eyelashesand Mountain Ape – the ones who’ve been around from the start. Even back when they tried to fight Saitamaand got blown away like dust. Lily rushes over to try and convince the othergroup members to reconsider leaving. Most of all, she can't stand that they thinkFubuki is to blame for this. She even seems to be on the verge of throwinga tantrum. With a serious expression, Eyelashes tellher not to bother. He also realized that Fubuki isn’t to blamefor the group breaking up. The truth is they’re not strong or reliableenough to protect her, just like Tatsumaki.

Said. The group stands in silence, reflecting onthat, feeling shame for where it’s left them. But Eyelashes isn’t done yet! He strides over to the ladder, climbing outof this underground area. Lily mistakes it for him quitting the BlizzardGroup, when it’s obvious he’s got a newfound purpose. After he calls Lily an idiot, he tells herhe’s going after Fubuki. And with more resolve than we’ve ever seenfrom him, he tells the rest: Anyone who wants.

To get stronger, come with me! This makes Lily and Mountain Ape light uplike children, glad to have any kind of hope for rejoining Fubuki. So they start climbing up after him. Meanwhile, Needle Star was watching all thisunfold and was impressed by their resolve. He knew all along that a bigger group wasn’tneeded to support Fubuki; they just needed to work on themselves as heroes and fighters. Meanwhile Fubuki herself is completely blownaway. Saitama vs Tatsumaki has taken on a wholenew level of destruction as giant boulders.

Spiral through the swirling air, all for thesake of hitting Saitama. Judging from the dents in some of the rocks,Saitama has been leaping around and avoiding many of these attacks. Which is probably why Tatsumaki kept addingmore things to throw at him. Fubuki can’t believe what she’s seeing. It’s clear to her that Tatsumaki is goingway too far. Before Fubuki can step in, the battling heroesfly right past her. And poor King was in the middle of comingover to Saitama’s apartment to play video games and instead had to avoid a storm ofrocks.

He also couldn’t escape because this fightmade the elevator stop working. And of course, Saitama isn’t even home. King frantically tries to get into Saitama’sapartment by ringing his bell nonstop, wondering how he’s never home at these kinds of desperatetimes. But just as he said this, Saitama firmly plantedhis feet on the side of the apartment building next to King. The two are surprised to see each other. After ironically seeing the game FightingHeroes in King’s hand, Saitama wonders if that’s why he came over.

Sadly he has to rain check since he’s prettybusy at the moment. King questions what Saitama’s doing. From there, Saitama would casually mentiondealing with Tatsumaki, one of the strongest heroes in existence. And with a pulsing vein in her forehead asshe races to his position, Tatsumaki shouts out that she can hear him! King is very shocked to see Tatsumaki’ssudden arrival. And as she began to land, and Saitama avoidedher, Tatsumaki’s dress started to lift up from the sheer velocity of her movement.

Every approaching second made King’s eyesbulge out more in disbelief and anticipation. Then at last! Tatsumaki landed, and her dress went up completelyas she took on her chibi look and was clearly angry. Before it looked like she wasn’t wearingany, but now, Tatsumaki clearly has panties on. The only logical explanation is that whenTatsumaki uses her powers, she also gives herself epic wedgies. As Saitama leapt away, Tatsumaki, still inher chibi form, would fly after him, still.

A bit exposed. Seeing Tatsumaki’s panties changed King’sentire demeanor, and got the King Engine fired up.
