It's also the obvious conclusion to the arc even if the webcomic didn't exist.🕺
 
Maybe Garou calls back to Saitama's planetary statement and states he is strong enough to match that. Realistically I don't see an actual tier 5 feat happening

🕺yes, but the build up from the webcomic is what blinds them, if anything the manga is more accurate at portraying the real Garou, not Garou’s bum ass wc version.

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)

I think it looks just fine, but I can see that.

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.

I think the whole point is that this Garou vs Saitama conflict is different.

The WC battle was to stop a conflicted man from causing massive damage to the world, while this fight is a battle for Garou's soul. Each time Garou accidentally saves someone, it shows that he is pushing himself to be opposed to who he truly is. In a way it feels like the universe is reacting to the dissonance between Garou's end goal and who he is, making his evil action have positive outcomes to even out the imbalance.

Also as I've posited before that the reason Saitama is going easy on Garou is because he sees his older self in Garou, and, unlike Boros and Orochi, Saitama sees a humanity in him. There's something there to redeem.

The manga wouldnt be nearly as popular or remembered if the webcomic didnt exist. Why is thinking the manga wouldve been better following the webcomic (one that is highly praised) its been adapting 1:1 for years so controversial?

The manga was entirely build up. Let's be honest here.👩‍🦽

Real Garou?
 
I mean, Garou's internal conflict doesn't feel that strong to me. He's already teamed up with metal bat to save the heroes unhesitantly and most of his monologues make it clear he is firmly on the side of good. Even if they were going for saving Garou's soul thing I don't think they are doing it well

Nobody is High 6-A from Saitama trying to kill them. Garou should be High 6-A based on Saitama viewing him as possibly being the monster king and simultaneously shrugging off Orochi as a misbehaving kid.

Isn't it just refered to his appearence? It's not like that Saitama can somehow see someone's power level. Iirc he made the statement before fighting him

In saitama’s view Garou post centipede is stronger than Orochi.

No the attack went through him just fine, if it failed to go through him at all that'd be resistance. Garou's thing is called limited durability negation for a reason. Because our internal organs feel the shock of our own attacks and the attack from others. Sure far less than what hits you on the outside.

But they still take some amount of the impact. Garou's dura negation wouldn't work on someone who is 3-A or far less. This just means Saitama's insides are able to withstand Garou's attack as their durability surpasses his attack power.

Your organs aren't infinitely inferior, or just equal for every single person. A single Tier 7 punch to the stomach and your organs there would pop like a balloon if they weren't more durable.

Doesn't Garou state something like "doesn't matter how much you train your body, you can't increase the durability of your internacional organs"? If not resistance to durability negation, I think it should be noted somewhere on Saitama's profile

I think he only has really strong organs anyway.

Saitama is going by his view on what he’s seen from Garou up till that point. He believed Garou could’ve been the Monster King and stated he looked tough while disregarding Orochi as a kid.

that one chapter after the chapter where the heroes were swept away by water in Pig God’s belly.

Ye, anyway, I think it should be noted somewhere on durability section that he has strong organs despite in OPM verse (as stated by Garou and (maybe) supported by the fact that Garou damaged Darkshine internally) it's impossible to have it

Has Saitama even watched Garou's feats?
 
Everyone one is overreacting about that mountain level statement. It's not even a "mountain level" statement per say.

We've seen several times in fiction of characters having striking strengths far above Town level etc, then turn around and say their opponents skin is as tough as iron or something.

The way I interpreted it, was from a human standpoint. So to him, if he were normal, Saitama would be a mountain or something.
 
I feel that one/Murata is intentionally making Garou more or less laughable at this point, it's likely that all of that will disappear when Garou completely throws away his human side.Until now even though Garou has transformed into a dragon monster whose left side of his face is still human,maybe when he throws away the human side Garou will be made darker than before.
 
I think Murata showed that part of the cubes with Blast for some reason, I think these things of new forms like the BS will be used in Garou along with this about the cube, he touching a cube when is on the edge against Saitama or something. Its the only explanation I can think about why they are doing this fight so boring, my Gosh, Garou vs. PS was better.
