STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

If the psychic sisters arc ever happens in, like, 10 years or so, and Saitama says “oh, that looks like fun!” to Tatsumaki’s tornado like in the webcomic, would that upgrade her to relativistic based off Geryugandhoop’s same psychic power being boring to Saitama?

Probably not because of the same reasons Boros isn't scaled to other characters.
 
Scaling off Saitama has always been weird. It's a weird mix of common sense and headcanon. It's like sometimes the general premise starts off making sense, but they try to make it apply to more and more stuff.

"Saitama was bored with this guy, so we don't need to upgrade him." Eh, valid. Kinda. He was bored with Orochi, but that doesn't mean Foddermon is equal to Orochi or that they're in a similar tier, for that matter.

"Saitama said Boros almost seemed like a real fight and didn't say anything like that to other monsters!" Yeah, kind of valid. But are we gonna then say that every monster, regardless of feats, is weaker than Boros because of one statement? It's always been my personal belief that Saitama said that to either hype Boros up, and/or he began feeling pessimistic about opponents after the person that was "almost a real fight" died after a serious punch. I wouldn't even call Saitama not getting excited fighting Garou in the manga a counter argument to my statement since Saitama wasn't trying to kill Garou at all per Tareo's request rather than the context of the fight between Saitama and Boros, but I digress. The point is that one statement from a guy who's stronger than everyone doesn't automatically mean that Boros is stronger than any other opponent Saitama goes up against if he doesn't praise them. He doesn't have to do that, you know.

Those are just a few examples. Like anything, it's case by case. Mini-rant over.

I mean to be fair Saitama general did believe Boros was strong. Even said he was probably the strongest he's ever faced to Genos.

If it's meant to be, I'm sure it'll come back up in the future.

When VFU gets his acid on stuff (Black S, Zanbai, Atomic & Nichirin's swords, etc) the acid basically immediately eats straight through the subject.

When Darkshine got his arms covered in acid and his chest spit on though, he only suffered comparatively minor injury and the acid didn't really cause the affected areas to just straight up completely melt right away like the other instances of the acid hitting things.

Darkshine does say that his muscles are still melting (more accurately, that "their shine" is melting) so it might just be affecting him at a slower rate after the first bit of damage.

Is this chalked up as just Darkshine having a tough body or does it warrant some kind of resistance to acid that is not currently on his profile?

Quoting my question since I got no answers. Would anyone care to give their thoughts on this?

Darkshine should have acid resistance, in fact he did if I recall. I suppose it was removed? It should be reinstated regardless- because now that the melting is done the damage is superficial, at least on his abs (panel 2). Like GS said Darkshine received "only meager damage", especially compared to what happened to other things with "at least 7-B" durability like Atomic's and Nichirin's sword.

Cell has like 15 billion databooks backing up his statement compared to Saitama not really having anything in the webcomic supporting his statement

He states the same thing in the webcomic, interview statement saying saitama can. Then there’s the manga statement.
Dbz guides aren’t accurate at all which is why they aren’t used. The guidebook only repeats what the manga said
 
DB didn't cap at Solar System Level anyway so it's not like it was a huge leap of faith to fit Cell into SS level. Galaxy and Multi SS level was a thing with GT at the time.

Not that it matters since Saitama will probably get possibly/solid 5-B anyway off the new calc
 
And what about the distortions in space around the earth because of the Garou's attack, doesn't it add to the feat? I saw people saying he was universal so lol
 
D4yN4m0N said:
Yes, they said the Garou caused gravitational waves, and gravitational waves mess with spacetime and are caused when two black holes collide, that was the logic used.
Click to expand...
He didn't cause Gravitational waves and Gravitational waves are caused by everything they are just way too small to detect

Take ur time. Also are we keeping the keys as named or changing them alittle bit?

In the sandbox I have them as Hero Hunter | Half-Monster | Post-Darkshine | Post-Sage Centipede, so that’s what I’m going with

Should Post-Darkshine be changed to Pre-Sage Centipede? I feel like that would be less confusing in discussion so we can say “Pre-Sage Centipede Garou” instead of “Post-Darkshine but before Sage Centipede Garou”

were the distortions in space caused by the disturbance of the earth's gravitational fields that were swelling from the Garou's attack?
 
LordTracer said:
Fair.

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

I’d rather not use Saitama in his justification, but if everyone else agrees, I’ll add it.
Click to expand...
While Post-Sage Centipede is a rather accurate designation, I'd prefer we call Post-Sage Centipede Garou "perfected fist" Garou. It's clear who we're talking about, references Garou's own in-text words and has some pizazz like "meteoric burst" boros does.

not as much as awakened garou though 😥

Seems pretty straightforward. I made a crt on it.
 
My dream still breaths..
