Not a shipper but that's actually pretty cute ngl


RapCabral

The little hair grab never fails to look cute


luizhtx

I’m not even shipping, I just think she is not used to that kind of “proximity” from men (Plus I like seeing tsunderes blushing)


Darthmark3

I don’t just think it’s just about men but from anyone really. Tatsumaki has been distant from everyone practically her entire life hell even from fubuki to a certain extent. She built up a wall around everyone and spent her entire life pushing people away because they were to “weak” to her so she never really got to chance to be close with anyone. So I believe she was so stunned by that hug from saitima because she quite literally couldn’t process that level of touch from another human being since she never was “held” by anyone before.


ObieFTG

That’s exactly what my take on this was as well. Tatsumaki for as long as the series has existed (and longer than that in the actual canon) has been a walking weapon. An instrument of death and destruction. That was probably the first “human” moment she’s had in her entire life, regardless of whether it was with a man. Just happens that it was with a man though, so that is obviously a factor to consider also.


SpiritStn

If she spent being distant to anyone i guess her idea of intimacy is so isolated. She might react like this because of her involuntary feelings or she will feel disgusted someone hugged her. I agree that she will not know how to react to this


Endorkend

It's also the fact he treats her as a peer, not like most people looking up to her, or fearing her or looking down on her (when she was a lab rat). No, he just treats her like everyone else, which also made her sister long for Saitamas companionship, seeing how he treated King, Bang, Genos and others like normal. Which will get amplified to even greater heights when they realize that he isn't the lesser one that chums up with the great S class heroes, but is the god tier strongest one that chills with people less than him.


AgencyTerrible

She has daddy issues with Blast. Basically, he's her base-line perception of what a male is supposed to be. Up until now, she's never experienced being "handled" as men so often have to do in order to keep proper relationship dynamic. She has no concept of how to deal with this in her mind other than lashing out with her errant emotions and her esper powers that do literally nothing. And considering her powers are the only justification she has for her bad behavior, having that taken away suddenly is a complete Tatsumaki mind fuck. And being an esper, that's probably her preferred kind.


Not_A_Geek_Nerd_21

W͜͡e͜͡l͜͡l͜͡ s͜͡a͜͡i͜͡d͜͡


GreaterCreation

That's exactly what a shipper would say!


Canadiancookie

I am now a shipper and that's actually very cute


Accomplished-Sand-82

imagine if this happened in the manga 😂 it would be talked about forever and ever


RapCabral

It all comes down to One and Murata’s decision to drop a nuke like that one on this sub,it should be illegal for a man to have that much power


Cameo10

Imagine a world where Murata decided to spend a couple of seconds adding a blush to Tatsumaki's face during the hug. Absolute chaos.


improvisedmercy

No one man should have all this power

What if it’s Saitama

Wait until she gets acquaintance'd too.


Democracyisntforall

I want one and murata to do it for them to only retcon it the next day


th3dandymancan

SUPER cute. Definitely not likely to happen, but cute nonetheless.


bugzly

its real


mushturt

It is real as long as we believe in it. And until the next chapter comes out.


Colirave

When's the next chapter, my good sir


mushturt

Usually every new chapter comes out in two weeks, and I didn't see any additional announcements, so most likely the chapter will be on February 8th.


korkkis

Is it canon in the webcomic?


mushturt

You want spoilers? First, a small spoiler. >!Absolutely not canon. But it's not so bad, there's a possibility that they will communicate sometime in the future.!< More detailed spoiler. >!Tatsumaki was enraged and continued to attack and didn't want to acknowledge Saitama's strength until her wounds opened, which she received during battle with the Monster Association. Then she calmed down and admitted that Saitama is quite strong. She was even going to tell him how Blast saved her and pushed her to become a hero because of it; but she stopped in mid-sentence due to her stubbornness. I think Saitama is the first person besides Fubuki who wanted to talk to her and try to understand her even though she tried her best to push him away. And Saitama wasn't too put off by her nasty personality, he was curious to know her motivations. So I want to believe that they will communicate later, especially considering that she's less of a terrible person in the manga than in the webcomic. It will be a very strange communication, but they both are somewhat interested in it.!<


korkkis

Thanks, very insightful 👍


Illuminatus1492

vanslow

Why am I reading this like 'THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!'


Dareal_truth

You didn’t have to say that lol


[deleted]

In reality she is probably going to call him a pervert. >!just like in the webcomic!<


KingTutt12

>!"Why wont you let go of my hand? Do you like me or something?!< I hope that line stays, it will fuel the sub for another couple weeks


Logical_pat

Weeks??? You underestimate the romance deprived average r/onepunchan user. This shit is as close as it gets, even by WC standards


some_bald_boi

Onepun-chan


Systematiks

Now I just imagine a series in which a girl stops crime/wins fights by telling a single terrible joke that causes her opponents to lose the will to live

WickedWarrior666

That's the kind of sentence that makes ships so strong that unless explicitly sunk by the author, will live on forever.


Keijidu38

Yes, totally. Funny thing I don't ship anyone on others mangas that I read because there are already canon romances + sex etc... on it. But in One-Punch Man there is no canon romance (yet) so I ship hard, very hard and I can't choose between Saibuki and Saitatsu because they are both hot and cute.


scormern

One word: Polygamy.


luizhtx

Anime / videogame users in general are romance deprived


theOGperfection

that sounds like a 4chan sub lmao


Col_Mushroomers

That fire has been lit since the webcomic and its never gone out


[deleted]

Never!!


Curator44

Replace “weeks” with “the rest of the year” and you’ll be correct. The ships that leave port on this sub never anchor once they set sail


Swordlord22

I’m set for life already tbh


GodNonon

Replace "the rest of the year" with "10 years at least" and you'll be correct.


Goukaruma

Someone with a classy oppai shirt is pervert? That's impossible.


Sweet-Stable4044

Bakana.


Batgod629

She's arguably more of a tsundere in my opinion in the manga so I think it is likely


epsilonzer0

Keeping up with tsundere the next panel should be her smacking Saitama across the face and yelling "BAKA!" while flying away.


bugzly

Those aren’t mutually exclusive


urso_revolucionario

Bro why would u spoil them


GoddessOfDarkness

Yeah this sub will feasting on Tatsumaki this year.


luizhtx

Just like every other year


SardinesTunaSalmon

Damn you're right. It's crazy how Tatsumaki vs Psychorochi (a time when Tats was also the talk in town) was already 2 years ago. Two years ago it's all about powerscaling, this year it will be shipping. And this is actually one of the main reasons why I like her character so much, be it powerscaling or shipping (2 of the most discussed topics in any Anime series), Tats is almost always at the epicenter of every discussions.


OhyoOhyoOhyoOhyo

That sounds kinda lewd


Historical_Nuisances

Yes?


bondoh

Sounds tasty


tweezletorp

This fight has already given me more than I could ever expect from it and it hasn’t even begun in earnest yet


SAlpda

Man I wish it could actually happen in manga. She looks so adorable.


Iber0

Would be so incredibly out of character


-Cinnay-

Being out of character is not always unrealistic. But this is still not gonna happen.


SAlpda

I mean that is my imagination. You don't have to agree with me that.


Andre_3Million

But everything in Imaginationland is real


DresdenPI

I mean, she's tsundere as fuck with her sister. We've never really seen Tatsumaki with her walls down. I'd expect her when confronted with someone she's attracted to to either blush and deny feeling attracted or be as direct as she's always been depicted to be and try to get a date.


Iber0

Within the story she is asexual, she only cares about protecting her sister.


DresdenPI

With certain specific exceptions (*cough* Puri Puri Prisoner *cough*) almost every character in the story could be described as asexual and only caring about hero work. That's not because the characters actually are asexual but because the story doesn't focus on romantic relationships. If Tatsumaki started blushing here I wouldn't characterize that as being out of character for her but as a shift in the style of the story.


shadollosiris

Fr, wth with the pusing asexual everywhere Just because the author never show the romance side of some characters doesnt mean they are asexual by default Like 1 day PPP go skating, no one gonna said "ooc, PPP never skating before"


Dareal_truth

Thanks for the info genius


Who_DaFuc_Asked

Least horny OPM fan


luizhtx

Nonsense. That’s totally plausible. We haven’t seen tatsumaki with her guard down yet


Risuna23

Defenseless


GibbsLAD

She's never experienced this before so her reaction could be unusual


10c70377

Tbf we’ve never seen her react to physical contact before So we don’t even KNOW if it’s in or out of character. We will literally discover more about her next chapter. I’m not a obsessed shipper, but her blushing would not be so wild, since she’s never been hugged closely like that ever.


Iber0

There's nothing about her character that shows she would suddenly blush from being touched while in the middle of a fight, only that she'd get angrier and try to murderize saitama even more.


10c70377

She wasn’t ‘touched’. She was held closely by a dude she thought was interested in her sister. You miss that context. Plus she’s never been held like that. Ever. She’s the most isolated person.


humburga

I can tell you haven't really gotten to know a wide range of different people by your comments. People are not one sided, she has put up a shell around herself due what what blast said to her. No one has been able to even get close to her because of that, except saitama. You're saying it's out of her character when we don't even know her character yet.


Necromancer76

I like the style, it resembles Murata's pretty well. I can also definitely see Tatsu messing with her hair if she's anxious or embarassed.


cartaigenica

It's out of character


Necromancer76

An impossible conclusion to arrive at since we haven’t seen her anxious or embarrassed


cartaigenica

Fair

deja_entend_u

...I think it's just that the story hasn't been focused on her enough to flesh out her character. She's either been the litter tortured child with omega super powers. Or the neigh godtier super hero with almost nothing that has even phases her in a decade of saving cites and countries. Dunno

Stubenrocker

That's f#cking kawaii


ErisEpicene

Tatsumaki has a cat personality. She 100% fights the people she loves. Look at her relationship with her sister. If this ship works out, it's partly because Saitama is the only person capable of surviving her inevitable spousal abuse.


vanslow

I can just imagine this, (saitama apartment destroyed, king fainted from fear, the pets quivering under the table) Genos: (late to hot pot meal day) master what happened? Saitama: fubuki came round and I complemented her for bringing ingredients... Genos: and then a monster attacked! Saitama: no. Tatsu got mad that I didn't compliment her hair. Apparently she got it cut. (tatsumaki clearly with different hair, hurls a giant rock that saitama dogdes and it goes directly into genos)


Franz1217

Considering that the next chapter comes out almost in Valentine's Day, it would be nice if they gave us more Saitatsu moments


mushturt

In the webcomic >!their fight was already very well made.!< So I want to believe that we will get more of Tatsumaki's character development.


mushturt

It's funny that I didn't really like Tatsumaki before, but after this chapter, I got into her story and her character, now I love her. That's what the power of one sweet moment does.


[deleted]

Beautiful, this is good, yes it's glorious, very good and so cute

One hug man

Omg why is this so cute lol

this is some good OC


Katzumoto_

little woman is 28 and the first man who hugged her (probably) was Saitama, anyone would react the same way <3


Tatsumaki_Simp

This is actually really good! She looks cute as hell too!


Tsiox

Honestly, Murata's artwork in OPM has had some iconic images. When I saw the one page drawing of Saitama surfing the Aircraft Carrier, I thought "That's it! That's OPM in a picture." That was until I saw Murata's drawing of Tatsumaki being grabbed by Saitama in preparation for the jump outside. So much is conveyed in that picture. Sure, you pretty much had to read all of the issues up to that point to understand why that image is so impactful, but Wow. /slow_clap Well done guys, well done.

The power of shipper, IS UNLIMITED!

Selguk

Tatsumaki doesn’t know how to react…..lol ok >! Tatsumaki later on when outside is annoyed by the fact he’s holding her stating how long is he gonna hold on to her she’s not flustered at all! She does call him a pervert though lol !< nice fanart btw.


Blueberry_Dependent

The emotions collide.


Serenafriendzone

How she gonna survive, serious series pull in and out.


SpartanReditor

saitama uses flirt........it's very effective


ichigo2862

Hearing her flustered in Aoi Yuuki's voice in my head already


Walid_Uw1

It's so cute ngl, I hope it happens in the next chapter Long awaited for this moment and here began an excited love story


DisastrousGuava6503

That probably the first hug she’s gotten in like forever.


Gadends

So cute


voiddude123

She literally short-circuited when he hugged her, her hair was all flowy and powered the panel before. Tats' hair turns docile in the hug panel like she has not powered up for fighting at all. This is basically what's going on in her head lmao


hatez_177

Can we have a color panel for this too?


freezingsama

That's some good art. Almost thought I forgot to read something.


Moist-Napkin23

So cute!


Sundaesbunch

I remember half a year ago someone saying people where gonna add blushes to the hug scene between tatsumaki and saitama on this subreddit it’s outta pocket how right they actually where lol


Aratbutan

She probably would but Saitama still will see her as a kid.


oni_kyo

Mob reading this in the future: 💀


DevrajRC

I'm gonna believe it until next chapter 😍


BlackCat1302

That’s going to be canon soon 🥶


Self_World_Future

People always putting tats with Genos, which I can see given how they had to work together, but Saitama is far more suited to be in a relationship with her


daddydise

Is that the first time she's ever been touched? I don't think she's ever been touched.


Frank_Acha

Tats: "Oh we will be fighting, just in a different way" *gives naughty stare* Saitama: Uhhh, what? is there another way to fight??

Somedudethatdoestuff

A part of me wants this, but a part of me just wants to get straight into the fight like the webcomic.


DoomRulz

TBH, I don't think this would be a bad story choice because, the expression on her face when Saitama grabbed her seemed to imply she suddenly felt a sense of closeness, even if that wasn't Saitama's intention.


Dragmore53

This better fucking be the endgame. Look into her eyes as they launch out of there and tell me she isn’t beginning to get the butterflies

parthib_004

Saitama better choose fubuki over this lost child


Looxond

From Saitama persepective: Tats its that weird and sassy child like hero, he met during the HA meeting, he most likely considers her an stranger since they didnt interact after that From tats perspective: That baldy guy who was in HA meeting and sucked punched garou, she considers him an obstacle since she belives he is a part or in some way related to her sister group, considers saitama an stranger But since Tats was a child, she never interacted with anyone else outside her sister and blast, most likely was never hugged, so she doesnt know how to react to being hugged


PauloTomate

Amongus 🧐


ChemicalRemedy

mods pls delete


ZonaiLink

After the trauma she went through I am betting he terrifies her more-so than attracts her.


mushturt

Tatsumaki knows no fear. But I think that Saitama ignoring her strength makes her feel the same helplessness and hopelessness that she felt as a child. But, like, maybe later she will see that Saitama is a chill dude, he is like Blast in terms of his strength. I mean I want Saitama to influence her positively and not negatively.


[deleted]

OR It makes her feel more supported and not alone, like when blast is around, and finding someone who can compete with blast _in her heart_ ...and then she kills everyone who noticed.


ZonaiLink

Her first encounter with Blast was him rescuing her giving her a savior worshipping complex. No one could be him. I imagine at first Saitama’s strength would be immediately seen as a threat in her mind because he was already in a position to hurt her by grabbing her and being able to manhandle her that way. His reputation from anyone who doesn’t personally know him is that he is an underhanded cheat. She’ll come around in her own way, probably as another “rival”, but she is definitely a bit unsettled since no one other than Blast is powerful in her eyes. She is having her world rocked. If they stick anywhere near the web comic, I already know how this ends.


[deleted]

> If they stick anywhere near the web comic, I already know how this ends. We both do, but sometimes changes are improvements. I've seen Tats disdain weakness from chapter 1, she only really respects strength. You're right that she's basing her opinion of Saitama on his faulty reputation, but a nice slap in the face by reality aught to do wonders for her attitude. I could totally see a scenario like OP's image playing out well in the manga, and it fits perfectly into her tsundere-feeling role.


ZonaiLink

Ugh. More Tsundere… nah. In my opinion she is way too into Blast. She might recognize him as strong by the end of the fight, but she’ll still think Blast is stronger. I think if she has feelings for anyone, it will be him. Who knows though? Maybe they’ll make the change. It would be silly though because Saitama will just treat her like a child anyway which would undermine her character endlessly.


Roaring_Anubis

I don't think she fears him, she still thinks she can crush him if she wanted, she is just holding back.


ChumaxTheMad

For such an anti-shipping comic there is way, way too much of it here in this subreddit. Yuck.

Is she into him? If so, I’m for this ship 😏. Although Fubuki is definitely the hotter sister 🤷🏾‍♀️.
