I don't want Saitama to kill so many people

I've always wished OPM went a little on the darker side with civilian deaths, it's hard to open up with Vaccine Man and Beefcake in the first few chapters and try to be a series where civilian deaths is a rarity. Surely people are still dying en masse now, they're just not showing it.

I've seen people floating around the idea that Cosmic Fear Garou would be like Spot from Marvel, where his entire body is a bunch of portals that lead to various places. In his case, every galaxy you see would be a real galaxy, every quasar would be a real quasar, so when Saitama is punching Garou he can't hit "him" but we start seeing the lights on Garou's body go out bit by bit as he 'uses up' those portals (galaxies being destroyed and whatnot).

If Garou is going full "God" edgelord moment here I think it'd be interesting if he used something like that to try and morally defeat Saitama by making him destroy potential quadrillions of lives to win the fight.

 

[Muuuuh]

People said nobody dies in OPM, time for Caped baldy to match Purple baldy in kill count.

These people are reading the wrong manga, I see monster dying all over the chapter, and Saitama must have killed half a city when destroyed the meteor or killed Beefcake hahahaha

Couldn't agree with you more on this. The series started off a Seinen and it's just been progressively turning into one of the most forcefully light-hearted and pure series of the genre. Most shounen I've seen have more death and are more dark than OPM. I really dislike that aspect of OPM. Especially now that we have Garou... Just... Saving people?

Sigh. I wish Murata and ONE would give us more gore and brutality. It seems like they're playing it waaaaay too safe.

Sweet mask and Zombieman exist for that. (As the victims, i mean)

That's something that I've been thinking about as well.

That logic has its limits and I'd claim that for a good number of people that limit has been reached or will be reached soon in the future with the way things are right now.

Well, things were getting really sappy right before the surface fight when the cadres interrupted the wholesome moment by holding Amai Down while they tore him apart and then repeatedly burned and brutalized Zombieman, seemingly killed Child and literally killed Tanktop.

My hope is that the changes in redrawn Garou's mentality and his altered mental state are going to make him into a threatening, remorseless monster more like the AG we got in the webcomic. The shift from the wholesome fun and comedic trolling of previous chapters could be jarring in a good way if executed properly...

 

[Epiccheev]

Imagine if Garou kills Saitama in one punch next chapter, wouldn't that be ironic? Perfect for a gag joke amiright?

don't you think the tier system should not have low 1-A? If it makes no difference you transcend Aleph numbers because you will only get 1-A+, why have Alep-1 for low 1-A and Aleph 2 for 1-A if you could only have Aleph-1 for 1-A and Alep- 2 to 1-A+?

this gotta be the most npc comment ever

 

[Pepsiman25th]

any updates on chapter 165? I thought it was supposed to come out yesterday

 

[EnderLord8]

probably only next week

Redraws usually replace the next chapter’s release

 

[Ourosboros]

Nothing official but it will probably drop in two weeks, give or take. The 164 redraw had a small chapter's worth of content and Murata is working on Volume 26 right now and all the art experimenting we've seen

 

[DbzDB2]

Spot the difference.

pls stop making fun of garous new form. it ruins ze hype

 

[Magmag]

redraw accounted for this weeks chapter release. also we got vol. 26 coming out next week and then we probs get the next chapter after another week.

 

[Magmag]

back cover for volume 26, very wholesome little trio moment.

EDIT: also manako is pink ig

The gap between 11-C and Low 1-A is smaller than the gap between Low 1-A and 1-A. Plus, Aleph-2 simply supersedes all of conventional coordinate space already to begin with. So no, it would not be very practical to have them both be at 1-A.

Also, Aleph-2 wouldn't be 1-A+, since each Aleph is only one transcendence higher into 1-A, not infinite ones.

 

[Epiccheev]

On a second thought, now i'm glad OPM isn't tier 1.

 

[Dienomite22]

Which one of you did this?



I refuse to believe someone just happens to have the same cool idea as me.

The fact that the calculation of Saitama's reflection with hair had the result of relativistic+, almost speed of light, couldn't make the Saitama without hair FTL+? considering the difference between the two which is Small Building level and Planet level.

we dont do linear ap and speed scaling, althought i personally do think saitama is comfortably in FTL+ after no diffing all of garous speeds feats with one hand.

 

[D4yN4m0N]

but without considering the wiki rules, in your opinion, considering the mirror calculation do you think it could catch FTL+?

i mean i personally think saitama is chilling in MFTL+ tbh lol. I mean yeah he just needs to be 11x faster than his pre balding to be FTL+ which i def think hes 100's of times quicker now.

yes, I think so too.

Shouldn't Psykos be scaled from a casual Tatsumaki?
Tatsumaki effortlessly stopped 30 bullets from the ship, against Psykos she must fight a little to the point of even appearing veins on her forehead, in addition to Psykos still being able to resist her TK

 

[Dienomite22]

I wonder about something. Doesn’t Murata typically announce that he is doing a chapter redraw and which chapter it is?

Btw, Garou’s two armed form pic should be replaced with a cleaned version of the redraw’s look since its been shaded and changed slightly:

I'm waiting for someone to upload a clean version of this for Garou's profile.
