STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

I'll go over why we ended up keeping it at High 6A rather than 5B when I get home.

My databook is the same as Quan's. It also says their battle makes the stars tremble.

The databook in Japanese used hoshi, which means reflective celestial body. A better translation would be that they made the planet tremble. Unless you assume they're randomly 4-B or 4-A now.
 
Kep's post on that thread is just straight forward, we gotta move on from this particular discussion

That's like a Low 6-B feat right ? Doesn't matter that much for Saitama, but it could be a good addition to Boros' as a support feat
 
It would have been fun if they came up with unique Baki/Kenichi/Hokuto no ken techniques for these martial arts, but i admit it sucks we never truly see Garou use these martial arts by themselves at least once (Specially pressure point killer fist, since it seems like something out of hokuto no ken).

Garou does use pressure points, but as far as i know they are related to WSRSF, or at least are never alluded to be a unique technique from anything else.

I hope that they make him start cycling between all those martial arts when Garou fully goes all out against an opponent he can't beat during the Saitama fight, like, showering him with pressure point strikes, spamming multiple martial art amps and after images, using secret chi manipulation techniques, grappling moves, that sort of stuff.
If we got some "Garou Gaiden" manga of his dojo hunt and saw the masters who taught him these martial arts and his fights with them it would also be a fine way of showcasing the martial arts.

Probably.

The CSRC in the written works

On a normal read through of the manga and webcomic you'll come across two similar but different translations of the same speech; Manga / Webcomic

So why is that? Does the source material have different dialogue? The answer is no: Manga / Webcomic

In both sources Boros says:
全エネルギーを放ち貴様もろとも星の表面を消し飛ばしてやろう
Click to expand...
The important bits are two fold
  • もろとも
  • 星の表面
What do they mean?
  • もろとも means "together with" or "together". In other words Boros is clarifying that his energy attack will destroy both Saitama (貴様) and the Earth
The bigger one is this though 星の表面
  • 星. If you type this symbol in most sources they'll say that this means star, but that isn't really true. It means heavenly body or reflective celestial body. Most of the time IRL its only used for a star, but in fiction its regularly used as a generic term for a planet. For example Frieza calls Namek "星" and Vegeta calls Earth "星", because to them its just a generic planet
  • の is a indication of a possession. As in his car, their dog, or your skin
  • 表面 means surface or exterior
So to sum it up the Webcomic and Manga say the same thing and that thing is "I will fire all of my energy to blow away you and the surface of this planet"

The Databook

In the off chance you're not familiar here's the databook page in Japanese. The raw text is this
  • それは地球を破滅させる消魂の一撃だった
Now the key phrase here, which is where the issues come from, is
  • 破滅させる
The above phrase if you look it up, means destroy. In fact if you were a translator I'm entirely confident that anyone would translate it as destroy unless you're super into the context. The issue here though, is what version of destroy 破滅させる refers to. Here's a list of sentences that use the phrase and more sentences with just the kanji itself.

In other words, the kanji means destroy but in the sense of "Global Warming will destroy the Earth" rather than "The Death Star can destroy the Earth". The words are the same in both sentences, but the meaning of destroy is different. Global Warming is incapable of actually destroying the Earth, it will just damage the surface of the planet or cause great harm to it. The Death Star can physically just blow it up.

Destroy is a proper translation. Its just destroy in the figurative sense of the word, not the literal sense.
 
Hmmm I get that it can be translated in multiple ways, and I understand now there's no changing how this site views Csrc. However, is it really fair to say that surface is the only correct translation Qawsed?

For the manga/webcomic there's no other way to translate it other than surface wiping. The Boros explicitly mentions just the planet's surface.

I was referring to the databook. I know he says surface. But all I can do now is respect everyone's opinion and wait until one releases at statement or something similar.
 
The raw Databook also translates to surface busting. And I doubt ONE is going to suddenly reason Boris from High 6-S to 5-B just for the sake of it
 
A new guide or Databook is always possible, Naruto had like 4, but not only we need something new, we also need a new statement for it, so I wouldn't raise my expectations

High 6-A is a far more interesting Tier, at least

Please, anything but that, they already make the S Class and the Dragons look like a bunch of fools and that's not a good thing

If I could pick one, it would be a small speed upgrade for some of the S Class, like Bang and Atomic Samurai
 
Can Murata just skip the fodder fan service bullshit and get to AG goddammit. Legit nobody asked for this
 
Ironically I didn't have too many complaints with this chapter, even though I hate redraws.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer something more impactful or just a new chapter, but I do think it's better than people are saying. The dialogue might also give it a boost when translations come.
 
I mean the redraws are for the sake of the story adding up and intended for the volume release which is what ONE and Murata profit off of and we are gaining access to this content for free so I don't particularly mind stalling the current events when you think about it (I also don't mind viewing some of the side characters and giving them some characterisation but that's just me).

Mind Hax resistance for Garou?

I think that's pretty legit owo. Also take note Garou was asleep during this period. And didn't wake up fully until he fought Darkshine mid way. So he can resist mind hax normally
