Honestly, I thought/still think that is Saitama. Read the words from the panel right before that one, it seems as though Genos was implying Saitama use his pubes to restore his hair. And then Saota, is crying because he has no hair on his body...and we see that he really was trying to use the kelp stuff to grow his hair back but he's so dumb that he actually put it on his head.
And then I add in that Saitama doesn't ever leave the monsters alive...so why this one?
At least, that is how interpreted that gag to explain all the other stuff. But, keep in mind, that I just assumed all this stuff in a second or two. So your very well could be right. Also, the monster's eyes are not bloodshot! It has to be Saitama!
Yeah I thought it was Saitama as well. Isn't it against the rules for anything to survive a real fight with him, excluding guys like Sonic he doesn't actually hit square in the face?
But then again maybe he didn't actually punch him and just ripped his hair off. That would be fair. Still doesn't explain the hole unless Saitama missed or really was just trying to scare the guy(I can't remember him doing things like this).
The translation says that 'all my hair was plucked from my body' and the thing saying it is black and naked, identical to the monster as you can see on pg 12. Saitama's hair fell out, it wasn't plucked. In fact, we know that he did pluck the hair from the monster, also indicating that he didn't hit it because if he did the thing would be a greasy smear and the kelp would be covered in blood at best, pulped more likely. And obviously Saitama isn't night-black and naked, so unless its some bizarre visual trick to indicate depression, its pretty clear that its the monster, not Saitama.
I don't disagree with you. I think you're right. I just was explaining my reasoning as to why I thought what I did. It was a bit odd what the author did there....seems out of place.
I read chapters way too quickly for my own good. I saw the hole and that the monster was never seen again. I saw Saitama with the kelp later and a bold guy with kelp sticking out.
Saitama caused a lot of destruction that served no real purpose then if he didn't kill the monster.
Well, I gotta say, I loved the shit out of this chapter. It was really good. When the manga is not pretending to be a parody, it is REALLY good. Like, the best out of anything I am reading right now.
Anything that makes me want to get up and go train is awesome.
