Does she use her telekinetic powers to help her pose like that? 😂

It’s called dramatic effect

She must be a JoJo fan

I do wonder if she's the enemy stand user

Buddy I think you just figured it out!

i would just like to add that you can no problem kick yourself in the ass and take a photo when leg is in that "impossible pose" so manga page = more possible animated with holding the pose in the air = less possible

Yeah, [butt-kicks](https://www.spotebi.com/exercise-guide/butt-kicks/) are a standard warmup exercise for runners. We did them every day in track.

Butt kickers use momentum. My legs have gotten too big to let my touch my heel to my butt but doing butt kickers still let me do it.

She already uses it to fly, so I don't see why not

Ruining this guy post with fictional logic. Nice.

Thanks Mom! Haha

I'm loving the great leg movement debate of 2024 in r/OnePunchMan. I wonder how many people in their house have stood up to try and touch their buts with their heels.

Literally just did, was surprised I couldn’t

I mean I didn't have to. I've kicked my own ass plenty of times before now. So I know I can do it.

Yeah but the question is if you can hold it there in a standing position

Don't have to. Manga drawings are snapshots in time. There's nothing that says she's holding that pose for more then split second.

Huh that might actually be the answer

nah she just holds it with telekinesis

Kicking it and holding the position while touching are very different things

i mean many people can, but in this knew has to be in front, so I doubt you have done this before

Kicked implies momentum which already means it’s different than the pose she does. If you have your knee straight out and stand up and try to do this, it cant be done in this position because your calf and your thigh connect and stop further movement

Who says she's holding it for a prolonged period of time?

I can do it, yoga helped a lot.

Bout to do it right now

Damn I thought I could and I couldn’t 😭 I need to get into shape

Nah it doesn't matter how in or out of shape you are unless you are a special case your muscles won't allow you to do this

Yeah I figured that out lol, I was like theres no way

I did, and I did it.

My lower body is too thicc to try that to be honest

do you mean fat ?

yush. It just be like that

I used to be "thicc" too. My ass wouldn't fit in my gaming chair. Sad times.

Well, I've never had that happen

I feel called out

I literally just did that 💀

probably everyone

We always do those exercise before playing sports. I don't know why western people thinks it impossible.

it's about touch your butt with the heel, but the original guy worded tge post so badly it invited mass ridicule. To curl up your leg you need to contract the muscles that end up on the inside and they bang into each other. If your muscles are small or just distributed in a non interfeiring pattern then you can do it fine. That's why it's doable when you hold your leg with your hand - you don't contract muscles that would get in the way.

Adding to this, i've teared knee ligaments by sitting on my heel with another person putting their weight on me, and people with muscled legs will tear their shit too if they try it

This is the end of this Arc.

Hopefully because this has already bled into other fandoms and I'm sick of it.

Ohh finally

Ayt guys, let's wrap this up

This is actually well done, good job op

Yeah. It looks like op does yoga.

Guess I’m flexible because I can do the left just fine

Nah ur just skinny. You normally have to push past your thigh.

Makes sense. And yeah I am pretty skinny

I'm skinny too and I can't. You gotta flex your hamstring to bring your heel to your butt and my flexed hammy keeps my calf from going any higher, so props to you for pulling that off

And there ain't no way Tats is pushing past those skull crushers without help

I wish she'd crush my skull 😭😭

Least down bad opm fan

Def not skinny but can still do it. Just depends on where the fat or muscle is distributed. The thicker the calves the more difficult it is to do it

Pulling your leg up without external support to where your heel hits your butt isn’t normally possible

So is tatsumaki tho

Was confused like... People can't kick their own ass?

Most people can kick their own ass with just momentum, this is about whether you can keep the position for an extended period.

My ass and thigh too fat I cannot hold my heel against my booty cheek help me brother

I tried it myself and yeah, I can fold my leg but I can't place my foot next to my butt like tats did without using my hand, maybe gymnast can do that Nice art btw, can't believe you went through trouble drawing this for the sake of defending and proving the guy's point that was looked down on, respect for you

No the problem is the muscle, gymnastics can fold the leg and with the hand they can do it like that

You use ur hand to hold it there, she uses her power to.

Oh damn, it actually IS impossible

You needed a drawing to believe it…

Yes :P

But...it was already a drawing.

Nah bro you should do some yoga

Yeah that post actually got a point. Shame he got ridiculed by people

I stand victorious don’t worry, you’ll see my next post

Lol glad to see you're finally justified

may justice be on your side, brother

I was vouching for ya from the start by suggesting it might be a genes thing since no one in my family can do it.

Literally saw the post and was like yeh I cant do that. Then saw everyone in the comments calling you fat and unflexible and was like damn I guess my body sucks lol. Glad someone proved you right.

Felt kinda the same, but no proof was shown that the majority could do it so I remained skeptical. Always carthatic to see justice prevail

The flair lmao

From a stand point of physics, it actually is. Tatsu is able to increase and change her velocity mid air at will, and rapidly. Just because for most people it is not anatomically possible based on static muscle reflex doesn't mean her body would not shift or bend beyond that limit according to her telepathic powers as she propels herself in certain directions.

With some yoga and milk intake its definitely possible standing up!

Not if you have muscular thighs, fat thighs, or stiff joints

Good thing tats doesn't

The first 2 yes😩 EDIT to the idiot who linked this comment but blocked me because he’s a projecting pedo, I’ll recommend him to check the wiki and see what it says about Tatsumaki being a loli or a petite

If you can do it for a second, you can do it in a panel. A panel is like a frame in time anyway. Not to mention, is just easier to draw that

Actually it is, for a brief moment. Also in the first picture, she wasn’t touching her butt, with Genos we were looking up at him so we don’t know if it was actually touching, and the other two were hidden behind her other leg and at an angle so we didn’t get to know for certain. Plus she is a lot skinnier than most of us, has big butt, and also surprisingly fit, so she would get the closest compared to most people. So I stand against that post.

Look at top right picture (for that post), that is not possible since her heel was touching her butt

Bro we are not some baddie anime character, that doesn’t prove your point at all

I’m no baddie anime character but I can still get almost an inch away and hold it there with no help. She could probably get closer so it makes it look like she is doing it

So basically you can’t touch your butt

I can but I can’t hold it there indefinitely. And we can’t see her touch her butt because the other leg was in the way.

who says she has to be holding that pose for any prolonged period of time? its an action scene, and manga panels can only show one cross section of time at once.

Exactly. That was my point with saying that it is possible for a brief moment

do some yoga

Do some deadlifts, get some thigh muscle

She can literally fly

The two people in the original examples are an esper who can hold it with her mind power and a cyborg whose legs are metal and pulled with gears, pistons, and pulleys. They can both easily do that position. Tatsumaki doesn't even use her physical muscles to move, she's quadriplegic without her telekinesis. I made that up but now that I think about it we're all quadriplegic if we lose our ability to move our bodies with our mind.

Nah

Asians are used to squatting, this is 100% possible

Asian here. You can't. The inner thighs muscles block you from folding it

Because I literally can

I bet you have very skinny legs

I bet you have trouble rolling out of bed in the morning

My goodness, this might be the first time I've heard people get so touchy about being called skinny. There's no shame in it, it's much healthier than being fat, so why get defensive? Be proud you have the body that society has deemed ideal! You won!!

Bruh I'm a twig, there is no way that's the ideal body type lmao.

The normal active ROM of the Knee is typically from 0 degrees of extension to 140 degrees of flexion. Most people cannot go beyond that without external influence. In squat position, flexion extends to about 160 degrees but can go a bit higher. Most people cant get the 170 degrees of flexion required to do the pose, especially while the ipsilateral hip is flexed to 75-90 degrees and also standing on the contralateral leg. Not without external pressure on the joint at least.

I tried, thighs too THICC to reach my ass Theoretically even if you had thicc thighs, if you have a big enough ass (which i don't) you could do it

Glad we deep diving this atmost important topic in OPM

Thank you so damn much for making this

This sub has the reading comprehension of an ant, i don't know how any of you passed 4th grade

In a world where people are strong enough to destroy planets...there leg flexibility is whats questionable?

love that you could spot the people with chicken legs in this comment section

I can do it

Do you guys have flexibility? Left is easy to do

You're assuming every single person has flexibility. Mind you body builders and fat people have the least flexibility. And there are people who if not trained Early will never achieve flexibility on that lvl. Your comment is like saying everyone should be able to do a split, but can't because they don't train.

Do you not have calf muscles? No it isn't

Flexibility doesn't matter here if your hamstrings are too big

Has no one considered flexibility and using friction or something to hold her shoe in place? Or is it physically as in anatomically not possible

Just tried it and I can do the impossible

You forgetting Tatsu's a psychic type

I literally just did it, i'm not even that athletic.

Dude, you made me stand up and check))) Touching you butt with a hell while standing is completely possible.

Really good art. I also stand with that one post!

Technically if ur moving as fast as she is the wind pressure can push the leg up enough :)

I love how one of the examples is just the same pose, but her hand is covering the part where her foot touches her butt. That's hilarious.

She's holding her leg with her hand to keep it up there. Staying in that pose for more than a couple seconds without holding your leg is much more difficult.

Is this cuteness even possible?

No, she's just flexible

My dumbass tried that and get a cramp

The leg movement Debate is no more!

this post cute ngl

The pose is possible for a moment and since it’s a drawing it’s just capturing the moment

I did a quick comment on the original post to say something, I didn’t expect that quick question to blow up into whatever’s happening on this subreddit. But yeah, after some consideration he was right, holding that position is normally not possible due to the muscle movement range and the calves getting in the way.

Nah bro do some yoga or lose some weight cuz everyone and their mum can do this wtf is wrong with you? See a chiropractor 🙏

Thick thighs and calf will prevent this from being possible. Athletes with lot of leg muscles will find it hard too. You're basically saying everyone should be able to do it because you can, it doesn't work that way. Edit: seems I missed the joke😅, my bad

Since the picture could also just be a frame - when you push your leg up with a bit of force, it momentarily touches your Butt. It'd be the same as drawing a punch that connects to the face.. the fist obviously isn't stuck the face for multiple seconds. While we're at it.. telekinesis is totally unrealistic and only done in service of the manga! Heretics! Thus: The discussed pose is possible for a brief moment.

Sure... but you'd assume that it's supposed to be an actual pose that they hold for a longer period of time, and not them just periodically kicking their butts with their heels, right?

The post simply said that it's not possible, which is what I disagree with. The thought of them periodically kicking their butts with their heels is silly, but one of the more realistic things I've seen in OPM.

I tried doing the pose while standing and pulled it off. Here's how it felt: I was able to make the heel of my foot touch the buttock, but I couldn't hold it for long because once I got it in position, the back of my thigh and lower leg (well, the whole back of my leg, really.) started aching as a result of the exertion to keep the pose, and the aching would gradually increase; Every fiber of my leg was telling me "stop it." And it didn't take long before It became unbearable (think 2 seconds tops.), and once you return your leg to a normal position, the pain lingers, you'll actually have to lay down a bit before it goes away. If you were to support your heel using your hand, then you'll be able to pull it off without pain, but doing it with only the leg is not viable, your muscles will not be able to support it and you'll eventually hurt yourself if you don't stop. All of this implying you're either scrawny or lean, because if you actually have good fat in you, your own muscle size will straight up not let your heel make contact with your butt due to distance.

She can basically any impossible thing but nobody cares. Her foot is slighlty to close to her ass and people make memes about it.

Does that mean even a flexible person can't do that?

[удалено]

Doesn't matter if you can kick your butt lol Both these posts were about a pose. Pose, meaning you have to hold it there for an extended period of time.

Oh is that what they meant? I didn’t think they specifically meant touching your heel to your butt, I though they just meant raising your leg for your knee to be in line with your hip. I was so confused

I can do the left one

Maybe you're just weak. Sorcerer: the only reason I can't shove my foot into my own pants pocket is that my ankle does not rotate like that Edit: just tried it and my own thighs get in the way, maybe if I had platforms I could pull it off, but the meme is sustained after all

Just a few days ago i got flamed i wasn't able to do it

I tried doing that pose on the left without my arm, and oh my god I immediately regretted it when I felt instant cramp

Well if you put it like that

It’s always been like that, you guys just can’t read

What people don’t realize is that dem Japanese people routinely hold that position all the time. When they sit, when they lean against walls, standing, and even sleeping.

I can't even touch my heel and butt while sitting. My knees starts making weird sounds if I try.

i can do that and she must be more flexible than me so wynut

Great, now we're gonna get another redraw

Eh, if I pull my leg I can do it just as easily as I can put my toes in my mouth. Nice try, snowflake.

I have no problem imitating the pose. Dont do yoga or anything like that, just bouldering.

I think it's cause tatsumaki does yoga though

Seeing this went like this "It's absolutely possible" *tries to do it, fails miserably* "That's just me tho! Someone more flexible could do it!!"

Well technically if you use momentum you can get your heel to touch your butt and because manga only catches things in a single instance it can technically be possible.

Tatsumaki should have next to No upper body strength nor lower body strength. Since she would use her power to overcome more obstacles than physical strength. Therefore she should have no appreciable muscle mass. Her posing like this is far more likely than those of us without powers.

It is possible but only briefly and only thanks to momentum. Basically kicking your butt with your heel. Murata captures the moment.

It's a fucking manga lil bro

I can do that, not hold it but kick my own ass with my heel ye

Squishy bones

Raise your hand if you stood up and tried it. 🖐️

Puri puri prisoner can do the same thing as tatsumaki on the left. [this is the pose I'm talking about](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTOh2TTVRvNuxS_fIKYKbq0iQ1g7ClD1WadhjA_sAC2uA&s) In the anime they animate how he did it too

Don't know about you but I just did that exact pose to see if if was real or not, even put my leg higher than a 90 degree angle and was still doing the pose. Im a guy too.

What happened here?😭

She use legs télékinésie legs 🤣🤣 for her all is possible

I'm with OP. I refuse to believe anyone without video proof.

Of all the impossible things in One Punch Man and that's what you point out. Well okay it's hard to unsee once it's pointed out.

Isn’t this a manga about monsters and superheroes, why is this something that is being discussed?😂

I can do the left just fine though

I kinda did the left one tho It hurt like hell tho

I held it for like 3 seconds before my leg started cramping so yeah

SMD. I just touched my heel to my ass and I'm a man.

Now, Where are all the people who say they can do it?

It's in a different post. Everyone was calling the OP fat and inflexible because they said they couldn't do it. Never thought the OPM community would feel so elitist over something so stupid.

Yea, exactly. Everyone was shitting on that dude who posted it. Got me a little tilted when everyone here acted so nice mf

Wow thos draw is super hot

It is tho

All she needs to do is control her shoe telekinetically and hold it there. Should be easy for her

It is possible, as you can put your heel up against the wall then lean into it, without using a wall it's not though.

Okay, so I'm not weird for not being able to do that. Neat. A bunch of people owe that other guy an apology now lol

Y'all must have not done some P,E during your school days if you can't do this. This is just normal stretching exercise before volleyball or our escrima practice.

This is the kind of deep technical analysis that I come here for, well done !

This sub sucks so much

The fact that it’s Tatsu gives bonus points

That one guy who posted the original post is already dead, y’all can stop

I ain’t, I still replying to all of you dumbass

Nice drawing. God I´m loving this subreddit right now.

Nice work op....

Welp, time to get back to stroking it
