STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

I won't be against it. Though it will suck that he will be baseline

 

[LordTracer]

So with Garou's new calc, does this mean that Saitama will finally be upgraded to Planet level? Garou's feat is close enough to be Planet level, and Saitama is still far stronger than Garou, so logically it'd make sense for him to upscale. Not only that, but there's a ton of statements by both Murata and Saitama himself saying he could destroy the planet.

Garou’s calc is too far to actually upscale, but I do think 5-B Saitama is fine with the statements + being stronger than Garou.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Post-Darkshine Garou could be considered “Monster Garou” as well, “Post-Sage Centipede” is less confusing.

I'd put "Complete Monster" then.

 

[Dienomite22]

Few issues:

• "Fourth Form" is just the Third Form but with two extra arms. It doesn't need to be its own pic.

Actually they are two separate designs. Murata sculpted clay figures of both and they are noticeably different from each other.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

I’d rather not use Saitama in his justification, but if everyone else agrees, I’ll add it.

I mean, it's self-evident. Garou's durability scales to his own physical AP when unleashing his Extreme Power Attack, so for Saitama's punches to completely wreck him they must all be stronger than Garou's attack.

They're not dude. One just has two more arms of course the sculpture is different.

No they are. Head shape and all. I’ll post them together to show you.

 

[Quangotjokes]

Third and forth are different. Same way how first and second look similar but ones buffer.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

The "Post-Darkshine" Key could have two pictures btw:

• One for Spiral Garou or "Limiter-Breaking" Garou
• One for Monster Garou

Saitama is getting a “likely 5-B” iirc

Good enough for me.

Nvm. Don’t feel like going through all of Murata’s crazy amount of retweets to find them so I’ll just post manga panels.

4th form ditches glowing lines and has fire on his thighs and back of his neck and is also lighter and more detail.

3rd form still has glowing lines, is black, and has fire all around his neck but only briefly after that mountain attack.

I think Post-Sagw Centipede works better until we get confirmation on when Garou’s monster state actually began

 

[Quantu]

So is Saitama gonna be baseline? If so hes gonna be such a fodder 5-B character

 

[LordTracer]

Yeah, he’ll be baseline.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

It began when he said "Because I'm a monster... That's right" and went beast mode.

I agree with that but not everyone did iirc. If everyone agrees with that, post-darkshine Garou’s monster forms (Everything from Bomb fight until now) would be all under the “Monster key”.

Garou goes through another notable evolution once he perfects his fist so it justifies two keys.

 

[Dienomite22]

Garou goes through another notable evolution once he perfects his fist so it justifies two keys.

But he would still technically be a Monster in both. I guess putting the pictures of all forms post-Darkshine under the Monster tab would work.

 

[Lightning_XXI]

Literally one of the weakest 5-Bs, but I guess that's not far from basically every Saitama

 

[Dienomite22]

I thought we would be past expecting Saitama to be anything other than a free win in verses match ups.

 

[LordTracer]

Y’all should’ve already known that 5-B Saitama would be absolute garbage in versus matches.

 

[CiscoTheSoto]

Exactly. What does Saitama have going for him against an equally strong opponent? Shockwaves, acrobatics, and his willpower? That's all I can think of. Anyone with more skill than him would utterly screw Saitama.

 

[Dienomite22]

I never been in or seen any thread where Saitama wins and with how verses match ups are I never expect him to. Hell if Garou was in a completely different series and was baseline 5-B, he would probably stomp Saitama even if Saitama was high-end 5-B.

It’s cuz of vsb versus rules

 

[Epiccheev]

Only matches i remember Saitama winning was with guys with glass cannon durability and the jobber king Ditto

 

[Epiccheev]

Worst is Saitama doesn't even have resistances. Whenever a hax character appears he either kills them before they can give him a resist or never meets them. (like all acid users so far). And the dura neg Garou used doesn't even give him a resist.

not vs small planet level+ characters

don't forget my two matches with him

 

[EnderLord8]

I kind of wish the Saitama vs Garou battle was more hax than AP, it would give Saitama some advantage over haxed characters, however a Y-class lifting force would be something.

 

[LordTracer]

That’d only give Saitama a ~2x AP advantage at best, he’d still get shit on by characters with decent hax.

if wanked enough, we can have garou have reality warping for breaking a dimensional seal
https://cdn.**********.com/attachments/917231031659134986/974362648491741184/page_23.png
or maybe blast some reality warp ability

 

[Cyberblader90]

would just be some weird spatial thing

reality warping? Maybe. Useful in literally any way in a match where the opponent doesn't have a weird dimension seal thing? No

Just cause it's reality warping doesn't mean it's good

 

[Epiccheev]

Don't even need decent hax. A brick with decent martial art skills can probably beat him despite the AP advantage.

 

[DbzDB2]

guys i have a genuine question. is saitama immune to mind fuckery? like if someone tried to control his mind and make him do bad things, would our boi sai be able to resist it? i just feel like the only reason why saitama is unbeatable in OPMverse is because of the lack of mind hax. if itachi came into the OPM world, he could just point at saitama and it's gg

 

[Apeironaxim]

I mean you could assume he wouldn't be affected by Do-S's whip, but that'd just be it, an assumption

 

[Pepsiman25th]

hold on a second, hear me out on this but.... what if god has every ability in OPM and can solo saitama
