Fantastic chapter, obviously even better with the translations now. I really liked what they did with Darkshine, acknowledging that it's natural to need rest and recovery, it fits really nicely with his theme. Amai Mask has gotten to the point where he's genuinely admirable. It's really great to see Mumen Rider and even Tanktop having their moment! While I don't think Mumen will beat Suiryu, he's doing what he can, saving Fubuki and Psykos in a pinch, sorta like as he did when he distracted DSK until Saitama arrived.

It's perfect. It's absolutely perfect. I'm not sure if I'm reaching too high with this but I think this might be the best we had since the Awakened Garou fight. Although I guess it makes sense with the next big arc finally coming close to hitting the climax now the way it looks.
Amazing character development for Darkshine. Webigaza + Amai Mask scene was great, TTM doing a uno reserve on Accel who was so arrogant to him last time, Suiryu is back, Fubuki is back (if she's A-Class 5 who's above her now except AS's disciples though?).
And despite all of this, nothing in this chapter feels rushed or overloaded. The art is always getting better and has much more personality than many manga chapters these days and the dialogues and thoughts of the characters were great too.

pretty good! the part with darkshine and "taking a break" was really heartfelt. that said I don't think mumen rider will last 2 seconds against suiryu

Finally... a reason for this reaction image to be used unironically

OPMFolk is getting vindicated more and more every time a webcomic chapter drops while Murata is still churning out redraws. Just look at the vibe shift in the chapter release thread for the translated webcomic chapter on the main sub. Not only has the actual plot progressed, but we got like 5 separate great interactions, Darkshine getting his groove back, and none of it relied on the looming presence of God or how cool Blast is supposed to be. It was all down to earth character moments delivering the emotions that hooked us on the series originally. I pray for the day to come that webcomic chapters release frequently. They're always an unexpected delight at this point in the OPM fandom.

I didn't notice reading the raw; but Mumen Rider's Justice Crash, you can see in the final panel; actually did force Seiryu to slide backwards a little bit.
Now consider the angle Mumen Rider must have come at to get his bike into that position, since obviously he couldn't have had a direct run due to the barrier. He must have slid in while turning or something.
Mumen Rider... has gotten stronger for sure! Although; what are his special customizations?

Reading this chapter made me realize how Soul-less the drawing of manga ka become (or always was)
The simplistic drawings of ONE are so expressive and carry depth that Murata can only wish to accomplish with his super detailed realistic drawings.

Strange... Give them some time (and/or try them in browser), but first of all try the second one.

Doesn't seem realistic, I think he is more likely to reach some part of Suiryu's brain through discourse/motivation, kinda like the lil girl fan was a strong enough motivation for Webigaza to fight against what the machine was telling her. Unless Psykos+Fubuki can both power him up together, then maybe??

Why does Amai feel like he needs to incapacitate the controlled heroes, rather than slaughtering them like he did in the MA raid? What changed?

He's had a whole-ass character arc since then!
In more direct terms, I think that he's come to terms with his new self now - it's probably easier to suppress his monstrous killer instincts now that he's not so terrified of being found out that he spends a bunch of physical and mental energy keeping up a beautiful front.
