Genos never reacted to lasers. He was just staying ahead of G4’s targeting.

Atomic's feat is calculated at 12c while Genos' feat is 0.29c IIRC. It is over 40 times difference so it isn't that weird

That’s not showing reaction. That’s showing Genos looking at some sustained lasers after they’ve already passed him, and he dodged by being faster than G4’s aiming time.
In other words, aim dodging.

It's not because you just want to ignore it, but that's not my problem anymore, there's even him dodging and getting out of range and on the next page, we have G4 shooting and him walking out of the building.

Is everyone fine with me adding this to Genos’ page?I’ve been thinking about adding new images and quotes to Genos’ page, what do y’all think?

That looks awesome. I've been wondering for a while why more images of Genos weren't added to his profile despite his numerous upgrades and changes in appearance.

Should be the same laser tbh. Both had the same energy signal.

**** that lasers are called light, have done refraction and even come from a technological source capable of creating projection.
- 4,128

G5 should be an upgrade if anything so this light that follows every single qualification qualifies.

Yeah I was just saying the tech should be similar.

Can someone fill me on where the idea that Saitama had no killing intent and didn't actually try against AG and therefore Boros would beat AG without difficulty comes from?
- 1,984

He saw him as a guy with a costume I guess.

Saitama doesn't kill humans, idk where you heard the second part though.

No I meant that Boros would no diff lol I've never heard anyone say that.
- 7,897
- 3,859
I get the dichotomy of the entire situation but the root of the issue is that Saitama never tried against either Boros or AG nor had killing intent against either.
- 7,897
- 3,859
You'll see that a lot anywhere in any comment section/thread/page/site involving the two, besides here.
- 4,128
- 4,351
Yeah ik, I quoted the wrong person…
- 5,167

I wouldn't be entirely sure about him having no killing intent against Boros but he did hold back significantly to the point Boros picked up on it.
- 4,128
- 4,351
I mean I don’t think he had killing intent there. He just wanted to satisfy Boros and put him out of his misery imo. Saitama’s only shown gaggy killing intent where he’s late to the story and pissed.
- 8,143
- 4,138
I'm sure he took the fight more seriously after he jumped back from the moon, he was testing to see how far he could go and put in more effort.
- 5,167
- 2,765
I'm pretty sure that the first punch he threw against Boros was intended to kill him and only failed because Boros was a lot more durable than Saitama anticipated. I can accept Saitama just wanting to satisfy Boros and put him out of his misery afterwards though. That being said, Boros was still a threat against the people of Earth and Saitama treated him accordingly.
- 16,261
- 24,939
I think he intentionally held back to give him a good fight until Boros busted out an attack that would’ve ended all life on Earth, prompting Saitama to end him

People think that Saitama not wanting to kill Garou means that Garou never tanked attacks even close to the power that Boros took. Even though...Saitama was surprised by Garou continuing to fight him? And was surprised when Garou countered his Normal Punch?
It's all just headcanon. Saitama wasn't trying to kill Garou obviously, that doesn't mean he wasn't using his normal level of power, and that's what the webcomic was clearly trying to portray, anyhow.
- 8,143
- 4,138
Boros lowkey night be a tank character, sure against Saitama we can't tell but he did tank part of the serious punch and would have regen if he had his energy.
- 7,196
- 7,580
He was surprised when Boros survived his first Normal Punch, and later cut him off while using an attack that he clearly meant to kill Boros (Consecutive Normal Punches), which means he was presumably trying to kill Boros with the punch before that as well. The only hit I'd say Saitama may not have been trying to kill him with is his second Normal Punch that took off Boros' right arm.
- 8,143
- 4,138
Garou's problem is, he didn't have any dc feats while manga Boros has tons to scale from in DC and even narrative.
- 7,196
- 7,580
Oh yeah. He doesn't have many durability feats beyond Saitama, but the ones he does have against him are still some of the most impressive durability feats in the series. Honestly I don't know why some people genuinely get the impression that he's some sort of glass cannon with regen like Melzargard. He's tanky af, he probably has continental or multi-continental durability in Meteoric Burst, honestly. And I'm not including downscaling from CSRC or calcs, just that him surviving a Normal Punch with severe but non-lethal (as-in even without regen) injuries should be that impressive.
- 4,382

He charged it up outside his body. Orochi took the energy from outside all at once and compressed it
- 7,196
- 7,580
Yeah, I get that. Narratively he's clearly supposed to be on that level, and ONE stated it technically twice according to Murata, but in terms of pure feats AG is REALLY lacking. I think that's why people are really hoping that he gets actual feats in the manga. His only feats in the WC are countering Saitama, tanking his normal attacks, and even continuing to fight after taking a Serious Series attack (which is unquantifiable obviously especially cause it destroyed his arm, but narratively it's very impressive because literally no one has done that before).
- 7,196
- 7,580
I'm sure they'll keep Garou countering Saitama, but if they don't I'll be a little annoyed, that was one of the best parts of the fight honestly.

Against Boros Saitama was definitely going to kill him, since he was a monster who would commit genocide without any remorse, however he only didn't because he comprehended his problem of never finding a good fight and he surprised him with his transformations, giving saitama a small hope that he could provide some entertainment. He was holding back during the fight and could finish it with one punch.
Against Garou, Saitama was definitely going to spare him, he just wanted to kick his ass and try to bring him back to the right path by dissing his ideology and pulling him out of his monster play, he also surprised him with his limiter breaking RE, giving Saitama a small hope that he could provide some entertainment. He was also holding back during the fight and could knock him out with only one punch.
Garou being a human and Boros being a monster didn't influence their fight itself, only the ending awaiting for them when Saitama finally got bored of it. (though you could say he would have to be a bit more careful against garou, since inferior regeneration.)

Iirc Saitama only hit Garou with non lethal blows.

Pretty much what I think but I would argue Saitama knew Garou durability-wise was insane and knew he would survive two-handed consecutive normal punches and SSSH without exploding.
