A middle school cartoonist

This guy... is definitely not Piccolo!

After carefully observing the comics where this character appeared, Ryo Taniguchi finally came to this conclusion!

However, this kind of character setting [which is easy to misread at first sight]... Ryo Taniguchi can be sure that the reason why this character who appeared at the beginning of the comic "One Punch Man" was drawn in this style similar to Piccolo was definitely intentional by a middle school cartoonist!

The appearance of such a monster in the city where humans live is definitely a disaster for humans! So in the comics, the city's general broadcast began to issue evacuation orders, asking humans to evacuate... and then the camera of the comics turned to a hall full of high-tech atmosphere!

In the hall that looks like a headquarters in the comics, several staff members are busy running around. Some staff members are responsible for arranging and commanding humans to evacuate; some staff members are responsible for determining the level of the disaster; and some staff members are responsible for contacting heroes around the disaster site to rescue...

"Evacuation order...disaster level...monsters and heroes...?"

Repeating the key words seen in the comics, Ryo Taniguchi quickly flipped the comic in his hand...According to the experience summarized from observing comics in the past, at this time, the protagonist should appear to save the crisis, so Ryo Taniguchi is very curious about what kind of character the protagonist of this comic will be!

The camera in the comics switched again, this time it became a black shadow man, watching the live broadcast of the disaster scene...Although Ryo Taniguchi was vaguely certain that the character who just appeared should be the protagonist of this comic! But...

The comics only drew the back of this character, without any front image...And what made Ryo Taniguchi speechless was that this back also looked inexplicably familiar!

"Uh... Is it the most frequent supporting character in Detective Conan this time [Black Shadow Man]? Previously, a villain similar to Piccolo appeared, and the characters that follow will also not appear according to common sense... I should have expected this to happen!" Turning over the comic in his hand, Ryo Taniguchi finally saw the positive image of the protagonist, which was originally a happy thing, but...

"Hey! Bald... Bald head! The male protagonist is actually a bald bald man! Damn! The setting of Houhouin Kyoma... is really weird!"

Looking at the male character with a cloak in the comic, Ryo Taniguchi suddenly felt indescribable melancholy! I have to admit that the way the male protagonist raised his cloak when he appeared, combined with the text note of [Justice Execution], looks very imposing at first glance! But what really makes Ryo Taniguchi feel entangled is not the weird outfit on the male protagonist, but... the shiny big bald head!

The plot of the comic then switches to the ruins of the city again! The villain who looked like Piccolo found a crying little girl in the ruins of the city! The villain grinned, then stretched out his right hand, ready to crush the little girl... However, the scream that the villain longed to hear did not appear. After opening his palm, he found that the little girl who seemed to be doomed just now was saved by a man in a cloak!

The raised cloak, the slightly raised corners of the mouth when smiling... Through the different descriptions of several consecutive comics, Ryo Taniguchi, who was observing the comics, understood that the person who saved the little girl at lightning speed was the bald male protagonist who had been complained about by himself before!

"Oh, appearing at the critical moment and saving others... This is a typical way for a hero to appear!" Although this classic routine has appeared for many years, it has to be admitted that it is really handsome to appear in this way... At least for Ryo Taniguchi, this classic way of appearance now has saved a lot of points for the fact that the male protagonist is bald!

"Who are you?" Seeing the human being who was about to die being saved, the villain stared at the big bald head that suddenly popped out and asked!

"I am a hero who is motivated by interest!" The male protagonist who put down the little girl turned around, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said so!

"..."

In the comics, the villain fell into silence because of the male protagonist's strange answer!

"..."

Ryo Taniguchi, who was observing the comics, also fell into silence after seeing the male protagonist's face shape clearly!

Crisis rescue... What a classic and routine way of appearance! But such a good way of appearance was ruined by the male protagonist's funny face! What about the male protagonist who was said to be both beautiful and intelligent, handsome and domineering? It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a handsome face or a domineering standing posture. He has a bald head that doesn't need lighting, and you can ignore it with some effort... But when he just appeared, he looked awesome when he turned his head and grinned. Why does he look like a joke after his face was revealed?

It's just an opening... This manga by Hououin Kyoma is really meant for readers to complain, right?

Although he only read the opening chapter, Ryo Taniguchi felt a strong desire to complain in his heart instantly... But fortunately, the last trace of sanity still existed, allowing Ryo Taniguchi to suppress the desire to complain in his heart, put down the manga manuscript and started Observe carefully... no, to be precise, you should [sense] your surroundings and confirm that there is no haunting of the protagonist of urban legends among readers - [The Devil in White Coat]!

Although he has complained about the comic "One Punch Man", this does not mean that Ryo Taniguchi is not curious about the next plot of this comic! But after thinking about the [Devil in White Coat] that appeared in a certain urban legend, Taniguchi Ryo fell into a tangled pattern!

"How about... I'd better go home and read it!" After picking up the weekly magazine and walking a few steps, Ryo Taniguchi stopped with a tangled look on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he returned to his previous position and sat down, reading again. When I started reading the comic, I kept saying, "Come out, just show up when you show up! Anyway, it's just a shock at most... More than this, I want to know the next plot development. How will the male protagonist of the comic be?" How to defeat that monster!"

In many comics or novels, whether it is a minor villain or a big villain like the mastermind behind the scenes, before fighting with the protagonist, he will engage in the self-destructive behavior of "talking too much"!

[Talkage] seems to be a common attribute shared by most villains. Every time they face the protagonist, they always chatter a lot, causing the protagonist to cheat or cheat in various ways. Waiting for reinforcements, and then receiving lunch in various tragic circumstances... This is the famous [Villains die from talking too much] theory!

Of course, the ultimate villain like the mastermind not only has the common attribute of being "talkative", but he will also expose the various conspiracies he has planned and tell the story of the various shady plots he has laid out when he finally confronts the protagonist. The truth of the incident triggered various negative states on the protagonist's side, and then was naturally killed by the protagonist's side in various explosions! This not only conforms to the theory of [the villain dies from talking too much], but also hides the will of the universe [the villain dies from spoilers]... So compared to various villains who are soy-making, the big villain who is the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes, The end result is usually quite tragic!

The speech of the male protagonist in the comic also made the enemy villain monster complain... Therefore, what will happen to the villain [Vaccine Man] who calls himself [the apostle of the will of the earth] will be, has already been revealed by Steins;Gate It’s decided!

While he was constantly criticizing the evils of mankind, the [Vaccine Man] became more and more excited as he spoke, and his body shape was also undergoing drastic changes... If this [Vaccine Man] made Ryo Taniguchi suspicious when he first appeared on the scene, If it was the Big Demon King Piccolo who broke in, then [Vaccine Man]'s ferocious appearance now dispels all Ryo Taniguchi's doubts!

The muscles with green veins, the fangs turned out, and the figure is completely larger than before... Just the ferocious appearance of [Vaccine Man] after the transformation can make Taniguchi Ryo, who observes comics, feel, Now this [Vaccine Man] is much stronger than before!

After taking a deep breath, Ryo Taniguchi opened the next page of the comic with trembling hands, ready to carefully observe what method the male protagonist would use to fight the stronger [Vaccine Man]!

In the comics, the bald male protagonist does not seem to be afraid of the ferocious appearance of [Vaccine Man]! Facing the [Vaccine Man] coming from the shop, the bald male protagonist raised his head, raised his right fist, and struck out at the opponent!

Then...no more!

There were no fierce battles, no physical fist fights, and no super-dimensional showdowns between you and me... The male protagonist just threw out a punch without any fancy, and took out the ferocious-looking [Vaccine]. People] were beaten into pieces! Speaking of being beaten into pieces, in a sense, it should be regarded as being beaten to pieces, right?

"Fuck! This..." The reason why Taniguchi Ryo suddenly burst out with swear words is obvious... he was frightened by the bald male protagonist's simple, violent and cruel punch!

In the comic, the bald male protagonist who punched [Vaccine Man] to pieces did not cheer for joy. Instead, he put on a tangled look, stared at the fist he just punched with his eyes closed, and then said: Lines that left Ryo Taniguchi and most readers speechless!

"I... got it done with another punch! Damn it!!!"

Then, the first chapter of the comic "One Punch Man" ends here!

"Sure enough... the invisible thing is the most deadly thing!" Ryo Taniguchi put down the weekly magazine, and after a moment of silence, he sighed in a melancholy tone, "This bald head is really... wait! I remember that there doesn't seem to be... in the manga... …”

"After reading the first chapter of the manga, I still don't know the name of the male protagonist..." Ryo Taniguchi suddenly remembered an important question, picked up the weekly magazine again, and quickly flipped through the pages he had just finished reading. "One Punch Man" comic... After a moment, Ryo Taniguchi reluctantly put down the comic in his hand, with a look of being teased on his face, and muttered resentfully, "Now I can confirm this comic , it was really completed by the manga artist Hohoin Kuma..."

"Other than that cartoonist with extremely bad taste, who else would not reveal the name of the protagonist at all in the first episode! Hun Dan!!!"
