If you really appreciate the character writing and plot developments, I would recommend the webcomic. The Monsters Association/Garou arc is absolutely phenomenal, and the artstyle lies somewhere between So Bad, It's Good, and genuinely charming, with one or two moments of legitimately good art.

Moreover, if/when you catch up with the manga and/or the webcomic and want to check quickly if a new chapter is out, there's always Reddit.

New Murata chapter. 27 pages, also Psykos' introduction and a new (?) character, Lord Orochi, who might, might just be the God like creature who gave Homeless Emperor his powers and then later stripped him of them and killed him.

It's actually hard to tell?

Could be a case where a lot of artistic liberty has been taken, but that remains to be seen.

This thing has a name though, Psykos calls it Lord Orochi. It also has a face, unlike God. So I dunno. Could be a character that ONE wanted Murata to introduce only to job later on?

Lord Orochi is merely the King of the Monsters Association, not the God that granted Homeless Emperor (And probably Vaccine Man) his power, though the Monster King himself could be a God level threat like Borors and Garou are.

Maybe its to give Saitama some one to fight since Pyskos ends up being more of a Fubuki/Tastumaki fight

Wow. That one Kung Fu dude is so ridiculously arrogant.

And so damned casual about it too. It's like he's rubbing it in his opponents face that he doesn't care about anything, barely tries, and is still miles above them.

He'd be what Saitama would be if he was just strong without any training or humility.

Saitama gets another foil, then.

Wouldn't surprise he ends up being a part of the The Anti-Hero Association from the webcomic later down the line.

You mean the Hunters? Maybe, but their whole shtick is that they're genuinely good too, and they stand for the common man. An arrogant dick being in their ranks might not fit their modus operandi. Also, Saitama's opponent in the Monster Association arc is Garou, the whole point with him in that arc is that everyone else fights the Monsters while Saitama plays video games until his house is destroyed, at which point he just kind of dicks around in the building until he and Flash arrive to save everyone from Garou.

[up][up]The difference between Saitama and Kung Fu Douche is that "Sit down and be content in being a weak bitch" is something Saitama wouldn't say.

Because Saitama thinks that anyone can become as strong as him if they try hard enough.

He's wrong, but still...

He may be wrong in his reasoning, but not in what people should do.

"Stop trying, you will always be weak" is not the right answer, either.

And, c'mon Snek. If it wasn't for you those people would be frog poop.

You needed some pieces of the humble pie, not the whole damn thing!

I'm actually hoping that one former member of Fubuki's fanclub/mooks/minions who got inspired by Saitama to start training actually ends up returning one day as a high-ranked Hero. Like, nowhere near as strong as Saitama (because no one is), but heads and shoulders above the rest of the fanclub, maybe even gaining onto Fubuki herself.
