the crazy part is Garou’s mountain statement wouldve made sense if he simply had his wc cockiness, didnt fear Saitama and if he didnt evolve passed his perfected fist form yet. A cocky Garou testing Saitama and being surprised but unimpressed that Saitama survived an attack that destroyed a mountain indirectly. hire me.
 
Theory:

Garou's attacks were so powerful that they gave himself a concussion, as his head did not adapt enough to protect itself from Garou's attacks. As a result, his mind tricked itself into believing that his level of power was still at the same stage it was in his first few fights. Thus, someone being tougher than a mountain was highly impressive to him.

Garou already has Analytical Prediction.

I meant as in notifying that it's superior now since before, Garou couldn't do the whole "see the next attack and the attack after and the attack after that" stuff iirc

And that was just a shockwave.

Looked like an air beam at first read but yeah it was probably the shockwave from a buffed open palm strike (like what Matthew mentioned).
 
Idk what ONE is doing rn with the manga, but with a cover like that I feel like there might be a part 2 too the fight, with an actual monsterized Garou. Cuz there would be no reason for such a despairing quote.
 
From what I see, Garou is on top of Boros in speed, strength and technique, but still down in DC, I haven't seen anything that puts him near Boros in that item
 
Even the action is underwhelming! Murata upped the stakes with crazy shit like Psykorochi’s earth cutter, and suddenly we’re supposed to be impressed that Garou destroyed 3 buildings, and the latter is impressed that Saitama is ‘tougher than a mountain’.

Basically the last 3 pages of this thread in a nutshell.
 
I’m decided not to read all the pages I’ve missed out on here for my own sanity and health. What’s new? Someone explain in 20 words or less.

Predictions: Manga bad, Garou stinky, Garou no 5-A feat :(, Garou considering being stronger than a mountain as impressive :(.
 
Murata probably thinks Gaia Cannon and Godbeams can't destroy mountains. He has no clue how OP those feats are. Mountain busters are something that is quite mind-blowing according to Murata.
 
I just think Garou should’ve stayed slimmer and not become big and bulky until much later, big and bulky just looks silly with material arts (I know Orochi also did it, but he at least had the excuse of his little dragon parts also doing martial arts) and the manga should ease up on the “SEE, BUDDY OL’ BUDDY OL’ CHUM OL’ PAL ‘OL’ BUDDY GAROU, I KNEW YOU WEREN’T EVIL ALL ALONG! :)” every 5 pages with Garou accidentally saving someone. It really lessens the questioning of whether he’s actually a monster nor or not. In the webcomic you could kind of fall for it, since he straight up looks hollow, says he killed Fubuki and Fubuki isn’t seen until a bit later, and threatens to kill a kid (which we don’t realise is a bluff until much later, when Saitama points out after the scene, not literally the next page). In the manga you KNOW he’s not a monster and will not stop beating Garou’s character over the head to repeatedly tell us he’s not a monster.

Overall it’s still fun to read. It’s a bit silly with the “he‘s as strong as a mountain” Saitama when Garou just cut a country long centipede in half.
 
It's not just that it isn't following the wc, the manga was still incredible till Platinum Sperm and Sage Centipede. Then I feel it just started adding fluff, wasting characters, having inconsistent tone and now the Garou vs Saitama fight just isn't living up to the massive hype it had.

I don't even want to hate on the manga, just saying what I think

I don’t think that would be the case since the Gaia cannon charge up was as big as a country basically.

Some people are into that

I mean seeing as the people hating on the manga rn are acting like kids raging in Xbox game chat, I find it hard to believe you can separate your WB nostalgia from critical analysis.

^^like no matter what haters says there’s gonna be wc biased behind it even if they only read like 1 page of the wc.
