Let me introduce you to Dragon Ball. Where kamehamehas are stated to shatter planets, but end up destroying mountains.

I would stay away from super if I were you. You might get a stroke with how scaling works.
Funny, because I've seen/read all of the non-heroes part DB, including GT, and I've never brought up any of those arguments.

Let me introduce you to reading comprehension, the world where what you're saying right now had absolutely no relevance to my argument because we're not talking about AoE, but events on the actual scale that was described.

This is not like a universe-busting attack destroying a city due to AoE, this is like a planet levelling attack obliterating a city at full power and range.
Reminder that a mere nuclear bomb is powerful enough to have blinded them completely.

The only reason it didn't happen here is because of the plot.
Reminder that these characters just say they're similar.
 
So... this is a top 3 ever OPM chapter. It feels like 90% of my prayers were answered in a single chapter. We got...

  • Garou is legimitately menacing. Not a clown anymore.
  • Star level statement for Garou
  • God Slayer fist (or the manga equivalent) seems to FINALLY have gotten a proper explanation
  • Garou vs S-class !hype1,000,000
  • Garou copying the consecutive normal punches. He literally liquifies Meteoric Burst Boros
  • Saitama seems to have been launched to another planet or something. He's already been gone for about as long as he was for the moon kick.
  • Garou's character is still intact because he refused God's offer
  • Colored panels. FINALLY!
  • Nuclear fission punches
  • Appropriate s-class dialogue, Bang tries to convince Garou to stop, Amai wants to kill Monako.
Wanna bet how much Tgsmurf still won't like it?
 
Got to hand it to Boros, his only chance at scaling lasted much longer than Orochi vs Black Sperm and Tatsumaki vs Mob.

Saitama states that if the attack so much as grazed the Earth, things would be "in trouble" (Same Kanji from Shibabawa's prophecy btw) which is why he jumps so Garou shoots the attack into space.

This is why the Earth wasn't destroyed.
 
Hey, I've heard that on this chapter, Fubuki was healing Tatsumaki I've not readen it, though

So, if Garou vs S-Class happens and Tatsumaki somehow affects Garou, would it mean that Fubuki, the one who gave the power to Tatsumaki so she passed from being unable to restrict Fuhrer Ugly to being able to restrict/do whatever you want to Garou, should scale?
nop.
fubuki is healing tatsumaki's body, not giving her power ya know, tatsumaki is unstable due her physical damages, not because her power is weaker
 
This might be controversial but I kinda prefer if we don't have God Garou stomping the S class. I would like to see Garou resist God and have a legitimate battle against the S class in a weakened form
Nah, I also think it would be better, but it's just like the WC, doesn't matter their performance, the S Class never had any chance against him

Him fighting them weakened would at least stop people from trying to scale someone on the S Class to Garou, most notably Tatsumaki and Flash

Literally everything else would still have happened.

They're in space?

Not to mention that Saitama was launched far enough away that we've had like 10-30 seconds of dialogue after the feat and he's still not returned despite the obvious danger. Won't be surprised if next time we see Saitama he's on another planet and the attack has GIGA scaling. City level doesn't come close to describing the potential
 
nop.

Nah, ONE obviously uses Fubuki heal like the Kaio-shin heals in DB, he likes DB after all, so Fubuki is instead filling Tatsumaki's energy with her energy. Which is why Bomb got weaker after he helped to heal TTM
 
It doesn't need to remotely touch the Earth.

Even being light-years away would fry the planet in the future.

Well, it is narratively being compared to a real Gamma-Ray Burst, which to me seems like a pretty solid statement to scale it to (at least) a smaller sized version of one. I reckon the physics inconsistencies are simply because, well, plot.


Saitama said it would actually have to touch the Earth to do damage, and well, it didn't. It was shot into space, so no inconsistency with the narrative itself.

Uuuuhm, a Gamma-ray burst would have fried the planet, blinded everyone who saw it, and killed everything with radiation.

One Punch Man is famous for applying rationalistic physics to its story.
 
So Pre-God Garou is 5-C, Cosmic Armor Garou is probably getting a pretty high rating in Tier 5 or 4 (looks like there's gonna be shit ton of debate on his recent feats)

my simple explanation of it was that it was a focused attack, not just a GRB that happens naturally, which it obviously didn't. but an actual GRB that is compacted and aimed(in this case, at saitama).

Edit: also lets chill alittle with the petty comments...

Yes, I'm fine with it being smaller scale. I'm not fine with it being Star level.

Yes, yes it would.

This isn't even a matter of realistic physics.

The ******* size alone (both the black hole and the jet) isn't even on remotely the same scale.

I can forgive the unrealistic black hole effects (hell, even the wiki doesn't even accept unrealistic black holes for calcs) and FTL bypassing, but this is ridiculous, especially for a statement that's not even concretely referring to Garou specifically.

So you're just selectively deciding that physics should be applied consistently on this one attack on this single chapter of this single series because it happened to personally affect your Suspension of Disbelief?

This is no proper system for making decisions its just an argument from incredulity.
 
If the chapter confirms the cosmos in Garou is legit then that gets rid of any doubt about the gamma burst and he wouldn't even need it because he would be probably 3-C or 4-A from that alone.
 
Yes, I'm fine with it being smaller scale. I'm not fine with it being Star level.
Oh, okay. I got the impression you were disagreeing with using it at all.

I also agree we should scale it down proportionally from a real gamma-ray burst. That is completely fair.
 
another 2 weeks of waiting is going to hurt me. bad.

at least murata actually did exactly what i wanted, and turn garou into an absolute walking nuclear bomb. his destructive capability went through the roof. it would've been lame as shit if cosmic garou's AP went down in exchange for immense skill, kind of like how some dumbass redditors were predicting
