KingKira’s View: Amazing chapter from One & Murata this week, even though it came later than usual it was still well worth the wait. The chapter starts with the monsters we saw behind Psykos in chapter 123 (revised version) get absorbed by Orochi, we jump back into the Tatsumaki vs Orochi & Psykos fight and a couple of Orochi snakeheads continue firing blasts which Tatsumaki easily twirls and annihilates along with several other snakeheads around the cavern, Orochi continues attacking Tatsumaki to buy time for him to absorb Psykos, Tatsumaki has a brief flashback while considering Tareo’s safety, I’m happy to see Tats genuinely concerned about saving a life because she usually comes across as a very self-centered character. The flashback alludes to Tatsumaki being the victim of scientific experiments, hopefully, more light is shed on that in the future.

Orochi & Psykos continue merging in a scene so rich in fanservice it could be considered as hentai, the two wrestle for control till they both achieve what I call a perfect union to form “Orochikos”. The initial Orochikos design was a pleasant surprise but not one of my favorite designs from Murata aesthetically speaking. Tatsumaki obliterates more Orochi snakeheads before having a massive clash with Orochikos, Tatsumaki is surprised at how powerful her opponent is and Orochikos takes the initiative in the battle by compressing Tats in her psychic barrier and for the first time in the series, we see Tatsumaki bleed. I must say that Psykos looked incredible in her Amazon-like form while overwhelming Tats. Saitama and Flashy continue to evade Orochi’s slime while saving the toilet fodder monster until Saitama gets fed up and Oneshots the slime after it touches his head. The shockwave from Saitama’s punch coincidentally saves King and Tareo from getting absorbed by Orochi’s slime, Tatsumaki also got saved by Saitama as Orochikos was affected by his punch and this allowed Tats to escape Orochikos. King uses the communicator to relay to the heroes that he has secured Tareo much to Tatsumaki’s delight, now she decides to go all out. The last panel has me very excited to see what happens in the next chapter.

KingKira’s character of the week: Tatsumaki is my pick this week. She made light work of Orochi’s snakeheads, fought and withstood an onslaught from Orochi-kos, had a brief flashback and is ready to go all out in the next chapter. Respect to Saitama for saving King, Tareo & Tatsumaki with one punch.

KingKira’s best scene: I love the way Murata illustrated Tatsumaki vs Orochi-kos, my favorite part of the fight was when Orochi-kos overwhelmed Tatsumaki. Once again Murata came through with the top tier Psykos fanservice, I love to see it.

KingKira’s best panel: A few contenders this week but I’ll go with the amazon looking Orochi-kos reversing Tatsumaki’s attack. The last panel with Tatsumaki about to go all out gets a shout-out.

Judgment: High-quality content as usual from One & Murata. I had a lot of fun with this chapter, I even liked it a bit more than the last one. Tatsumaki vs Orochi-kos has been a treat so far, Caped Baldy put in work and King “saved the day”, I’m satisfied and very excited to see how the next chapter plays out. 9/10
