It looks like they are actually scaling him from Saitama.
They're scaling him from Geryuganshoop based on Saitama being "seemingly impressed" by Boros and while Saitama calls Flashy fast but for some reason, he doesn't get a possibly FTL. Scaling Boros' speed to FTL from Saitama doesn't make any sense by itself.
As of now, no, that's a webcomic only thing as AG doesn't exist in the manga yet.
That's probably an unpopular opinion.
If that's the case, then it should be fine and Boros is indeed FTL scaling from Saitama's 4c feat, and not just because he is superior to a Relativistic+ character.
Never said Garou is superior to Boros in AP or durability. Just that he’s faster. Which is true.
Which doesn’t make sense since Boros never witnessed Saitama doing an FTL feat. All he saw was Saitama tanking some rocks being thrown at him which may or may not be sub-light according to someone who didn’t create any character in that scene, and after a large cloud of smoke, threw a rock back at the character who can only throw rocks fast and doesn’t have lightspeed reactions himself.
No, because they don’t scale to eachother.
For all we know, Boros could've just thought Saitama picked up a rock. He didn't really have any reaction to what happened between Geryuganshoop vs Saitama.
We literally don't know why Saitama made the face he made. For all we know, he could've been surprised by how Boros had another form. Saitama likes it when his opponent can keep fighting if his fight with Garou in the webcomic is anything to go by.
He showed literally no reaction until Boros began moving. And the lines used around Boros are commonly used to signify that someone is showcasing great speed. You'd really need to be stretching it to say it was something other than that.
Awakened Garou couldn't react to Saitama's attacks, he was predicting where he'd attack in advance due to the skill gap. Orochi is not only shown to be one of the most skilled OPM characters (literally copied WSRSF by observing Garou's stance), he literally saw Saitama running at him from miles away and had ample time to react. And Saitama opening his mouth with a text box saying "?!" is more than a slight eyebrow raise. Not to mention, Saitama was unimpressed by Orochi doing so, and never made any comment about Orochi being strong or fast. Even pre-redraw, before Orochi was a complete joke, Saitama didn't really acknowledge him whatsoever.
The lines were used everywhere in the fight way before Boros went MB. I could argue Saitama was surprised by Boros' incoming attack being stronger than what he has come across up to that point.
Whether they were used in the same fashion is a discussion of its own, more importantly, Released Boros alone would be faster than what he'd have come across before. And again, he showed no reaction to Blast blitzing a full speed FF, which should be immensely superior to anything he has seen before, including Meteoric Burst Boros using this argument.
TBF, it could just be a way of demonstrating how fast MB is compared to Released that Saitama was surprised by the sheer jump in speed between the two forms (After all, it's At least MHS jumping to Relativistic+) rather than Boros being close to Saitama in speed. The former makes more sense to me as Saitama was casually blitzing Boros later.
Boros doesn't need to be close to Saitama in speed in order to greatly surprise him. While it's possible that Saitama's surprise could come from the jump in power, that's still mostly speculation.
Wrong.
No one knows what the real mechanics behind Blasts‘ blitz was.
Saying wrong doesn't mean I'm wrong.
...Speed? There is literally no reason to assume it wasn't just speed at all.
Flashy Flash FTL is pretty consistent with previous feats and statements. He's been stated SoL or FTL numerous times (but it was all disregarded as hyperbole for good reason at the time) and his speed blitz on the ninja duo was originally calced at Rel+, so him now getting blatant FTL feats is very consistent with all previous evidence. But him blitzing Meteoric Burst Boros is absurd.
I disagree with Flash being FTL by Geryu's upscaling, if other feats or statements back that, I dunno, they may work, but it wasn't my point, FTL by upscaling from a Possibly Rel+ is a big no
Oh you mean via Geryu scaling, then whatever.
Yeap, honestly a Possibly FTL by him being stated to be that fast is...rather fine for me, and it would be consistent currently. Back then I understand the reason to not use, but the current scaling should give the statement the "possibly"
You being wrong means you’re wrong.
@Zamasu_Chan and @USklaverei were working on calcs for the first one afaik, they just haven’t finished them yet.
I agree, possibly ratings don't qualify for an upscale. A "Possibly At least Rel+" should suffice.
Well, even in his armored form, he was confident on fighting Saitama after he witnessed Geryuganshoop's possibly Rel+ feat, so his Released form should be above that level. And once again, I'd argue calling Boros strong (which shouldn't only refer to sheer strength) and looking more serious than against Geryu is enough proof for a possibly.
