STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

I believe that Sage's size comes from a statement about how many legs he has.

Find the size of his leg part thing, and multiple by how many he says he has to find his size.

If I'm wrong than please ignore me, I'm really off today I guess. Though that sounds like a good way to find his size, as it relies on a in universe statement.

Compared to Boros, Garou is taking a lot less damage and dishing a lot more solid strikes.

I'm sure most people would just rely on the argument that Saitama is intentionally holding back more than usual to try debunking it, which they did with webcomic Garou's durability feats. Not that he actually scales to Saitama's strength obviously, but to say that Saitama is holding back his Normal Punch's so much that they don't even at least compare to his strikes with Boros is very lacking in evidence.

Honestly, random thought, if the 3 building thing was actually 3 mountains or mountain-sized rocks, it'd be a lot cooler, although I still doubt it'd be nearly enough for an upgrade. The feats here just feel very underwhelming. I mean, if Garou is so shocked, would that imply that Sage Centipede's entire body mass combined is less durable than a ******* mountain, when a city or small city busting Genos couldn't even scratch Elder Centipede? It's just silly.

I know it's just the typical ridiculous outliers, but I get annoyed by it, regardless.

Is there a way to calc Sage's size from this? It has been brought to my attention that Sage's current size is likely very inflated

If anything, calcing Sage's size here is likely to yield a longer length (multiple thousands of kilometers at least) going off the earth's curvature and the distance you'd have to travel to stand in the sunlight while it's nighttime on the surface below.

From shattering a smol island to breaking buildings to being awestruck at Saitama being tougher than a mountain, neat

I mean a building level feat is a little too high to be in between island and mountain. It should probably be island, mountain, and then multi-building level (weakest to strongest) lol

What about when Boros was landing multiple blows on Saitama before he punches him through pillars, and when MB Boros landed multiple more on Saitama after he came back from the moon?

I actually like the direction this fight is going in, from very early on, Saitama said he saw a bit of his past self in Garou, so trying to help him is almost him reaching out to an alternate version of himself. He doesn't want to just shitstomp Garou and be done, he wants Garou to grow and change, because unlike his other enemies, Garou still has some humanity. He's not completely beyond salvation.
 
Anyway I like this chapter, my only critiques would be the inconsistent scale of Garou’s destructive capability (which technically doesn’t really matter I suppose) and how glaringly obvious that’ve made it that Garou is basically a grumpy hero. Makes him a bit less cool than his Webcomic counterpart.
 
Will Garou's keys be reviewed? Here is my suggestion:

At least 7-B (Current Reasoning), up to 6-C (Did this. Defeated Platinum Sperm. One-shot Vomited Fuhrer Ugly.), 6-A with Resonance (Stopped 6666 Leg Grand Drill alongside Metal Bat)

New Key (Around when Garou rips Sage's heart):

At least 6-A (As strong as his previous form with Resonance), up to High 6-A (Split Sage Centipede in a single hit. Saitama thought he might be Monster King while completely ignoring Orochi previously), far higher with Reactive Evolution (Thought he can defeat Saitama despite being outclassed previously. Saitama said he got better than before)

This is just a rough sketch.

I agree with this, though I think we should remove the whole incomplete monsterization thing and just have it be Monster Garou
Click to expand...
Are people just... Not getting what I mean?

The Garou the got up from the surface wasn't fully monster either. "Monster Garou" would just be the one who's fighting Saitama.

Hell, Platinum Sperm even called him a Half-Monster and said his monsterization was incomplete.

I think Platinum was just speaking from a butthurt perspective on Garou’s shitty evil act. Garou back when he just had red hair and a red eye was already considered a half monster by Psykos who is a more trustworthy source than Platinum so Garou cant still be half monster by that point. I think Garou having a full on monster stuff covering him (barring his human eye showing even in his current form for shitty design reasons) is meant to be Awakened Garou.

Actually Platinum was just butthurt Garou choose to attack him instead if teaming up on FF when he called Garou half monster. He was simply assblasted.

Hoping the scale of the fight in later chapters is just as big as LYD's fan manga of Garou vs Saitama or even larger, that would be sweet.

He does in the webcomic, and ends up more like a mindless brute

He loses MCGSF much later though. Just because attacks look brutish doesn't mean that they are not martial arts. Many attacks in this manga do. But anyway, you are right. Manga is much different from the webcomic. Also, I don't feel like getting into this debate
 
Webcomic Garou: "I'm a prodigy. i can easily read the movements of a complete amateur like you. I only need to analyze your stance, point of view and movement patterns to dodge. But there's also center of gravity, muscle tension, breathing energy... Observation of all of those will tell me your "next move". I probably couldn't avoid attacks of your speed with my reflexes... But i'm already dodging before you've attacked. And before your attack motion ends, my attack begins, your reflexes won't be able to keep up. you'll take a direct hit."

Manga Garou: "But his technique is that of a complete amateur, he's got plenty of openings to take advantage of. The reason you're gonna lose is that you have no technique. The next move, the move beyond that, and the move beyond that... I can read them all!"
 
tfw you cant at least enjoy the fight because there are STILL interruptions about Garou being a hero.

Imagine telling all your friends for years how amazing this fight would be and hyping it up to try and get them to read it but then this dumpster fire happens.

Watch the people Garou unintentionally helped somehow get to the battlefield and help Tareo in trying to convince the heros Garou is good.

As much as I like this idea, I doubt Saitama is thinking of it that way. He barely views Garou as an enemy at all, let alone someone who needs to necessarily be saved. In Saitama's eyes, Garou is just a pretty strong but weird Hero playing as a Monster. I doubt he's trying to Talk no Jutsu him, he's just saying what he thinks, and he isn't completely wrong.
 
At least this Garou has long range attacks dura neg shockwaves and flight now. More than makes up for the worse analytical prediction.
Also, going by the way the building turned into sand i assume this is the same type of shockwave he was using against darkshine.

I cant imagine this Saitama doing his whole “you can’t defeat me” moment and be brutally critical to Garou like his webcomic self was.

Just gonna bring that up to further a point I don't mention much. Saitama specifies that Garou can't win because he's striving for a half-assed Hero hobby, trying to take an easy way out by just being a Monster instead. Which implies that Saitama thinks Garou may have a chance against him if he strives to be an actual Hero instead. So Saitama doesn't think Garou can literally never beat him. Which wouldn't be the case either way because Garou has already come close to breaking his limiter, but it's worth noting imo.

Maybe Saitama was just saying that to make his point stronger, but he sounded pretty literal about it.
 
I'm sure the community will be stuck again arguing about whether it was Murata or ONE at fault for this when neither should've allowed such an idiotic statement. Garou literally hit Saitama into the ground with arguably enough force to shatter a mountain already in the previous chapter, and Saitama didn't care, and then bombarded him with even stronger attacks, why the hell is this surprising to him, it's so nonsensical.

Should've been near the end of the fight after Garou got multiple upgrades, and there should've been a statement like "This guy is tougher than a planet", or something similar to that scale. Maybe Murata and ONE don't remember the scale they've made.
