He has marks everywhere…he had those marks against Boros, Genos vs mosquito girl, marugori, Orochi, literally everyone, he has those marks everywhere on his body in that same panel. It doesn’t signify anything as of right now.
Due to the lack of coloring I see how you could think that. But take a look at all the marks on his face and take a look at the mark right below his nose.

The shading is darker. We see him wiping the scratch away in the same place in the previous panel. And he then states that he got a scratch.

This is very straight forward.

Plot I guess? He may have remembered before, but we would have not seen him countering his consecutive normal punches.
Plot is not an answer, statements serve to convey the purpose of the plot not the other way around.

Saitama was disappointed because he told the kid that he would get the job done without a scratch on him. When he actually did get a scratch on him he said

All marks have the same color ._.

Also, this is how Murata potrayed nose bleeding, in the same chapter, just like 2-3 pases after Saitama's comment, that is clearly not a nose bleed

Anyway, nose bleed =/= scratch

And that scratches should be the marks of his clothes. There is nothing to suggest he had felt pain more than the dialogue, and (as previously said): not having physical marks of scratches, being "scratched" by a direct punch on his face, not having a reaction of feeling pain despite him wishing to feel anything, etc. Counters Saitama feeling pain

No they don’t, the context of supports this.

We see saitama wiping the scratch away.

Yes a nose bleed can be considered a scratch too. When I tell someone I can beat them in a fight without a scratch on me and I come out with a nose and I’m going to say that I still didn’t get a scratch? NO.

Saying a nose bleed isn’t a scratch is pointless semantics.

We have already concluded that he’s not talking about his clothes when he refers to his clothes he’s very clear in saying that his clothes got messed up he doesn’t say that his clothes got scratched.

We see him get punched by garou and then we see hey mark right under his nose and then we see him say he has a scratch on him. Wanting to feel pain is not relevant here, we see the mark, we see the statement. He got scratched in a fight.

Bro, all marks DO have the same color, how can context proof they don't, when it is visual? Blood is way more dark
We see saitama wiping the scratch away.
No. He had the hand on his nose because he was on the water

Except it isn't? Anyway, Saitama didn't have nose blood, so arguing if it is a scratch or not is pointless

And, as previously said, talking about "not receiving a scratch" does nothing but motivate Garou to use a stronger attack so he can prove Tareo "heroes are powerless", he don't have any other reason, nor scratch, boy.

Not a scratch. @Magmag already countered that point before: Saitama had that marks in nearly any fight. And, as I said in my previous comment: blood is way more dark than what Saitama had on his nose
Wanting to feel pain is not relevant here, we see the mark, we see the statement. He got scratched in a fight.
But there is no scratch lol

Edit: also, Next panel that "important scratch" you are talking about does not appear, do you really think that if Saitama did really receive pain for the first time in the manga, Murata would be so careless with such "pain mark"/blood?
 
bro, but this was the first time that saitama SAID that he was scratched....
so i would assume that he REALLY got scratched.
 
anyway, garou is one billion times stronger than anyone in the verse, he scratching saitama is nothing out of the world
the strange thing is that, saitama NEVER was scratched since he got his all might power, i expected a better reaction of his
 
I am trying to say that Saitama being scratched, specially with no physical mark nor signatures of any pain/feeling nor similar does not mean anything
 
Garou during his fight against PS, has a feat of 4.33c (FTL).
After the end of the fight, it evolves to the PS blitz point that accomplished this feat, being a 1.15x difference, we can upgrade to 5c (FTL).

During his fight against Garou, Saitama could casually deflect all 4 of Garou's arms using only one hand, keeping that in mind, he with a single arm would have to move 4x faster than Garou to be able to deflect all 4 of his arms. , which would make Saitama 20c (FTL+).

Awakened Garou would scale to this Saitama for being able to match him in a 2-handed back-to-back exchange.
 
it literally showed Nyan case, Nyan case wasn't a gag.
Saitama was going to kill a cat despite sparing a monster dog that tried to kill him. This scene is so loaded with PIS and character demolition I can't possibly take it seriously.

Right...even if I was to take this feat into consideration it would mean Saitama is susceptible to piercing damage (which, is contradicted by like tons of moments in the franchise like Saitama snapping Sonic's Katana with his teeth without damaging the interior of his mouth) which wouldn't be the same as Garou's feat since unlike this scene Saitama has taken similar looking blows from other entities during fights without a scratch and yes, he probably felt pain since his promise with the kid explicitly involved him reassuring Tareo that he couldn't get hurt which is probably what Saitama was referring to in the first place. Saitama's clothes have nothing to do with anything.

that TL is incorrect, viz properly noted it as not getting scratched rather than hurt.
 
How tf this is envolved with the fact that Nyan scratched him?
Sorry, I didn't realize you were actually comparing Nyan's fight scene.

I wouldn't find the two cases comparable to be honest, since Saitama didn't even seem to register it as anything and the only reason we're using the statement against Garou is because he's been left physical marks by other opponents in the first place.

Ah, my bad.

no, saitama mentioned it cuz the promise was about not getting scratched

You're argument hinges on Saitama being given marks. He's gotten marks by Boros's punch and even Genos's blast. The manga doesn't care, Saitama doesn't care, so why should we?

But fine, let's consider what you say is a notable feat. Let's go back to my other argument that is in direct relation to this kind of thing:

Right...even if I was to take this feat into consideration it would mean Saitama is susceptible to piercing damage (which, is contradicted by like tons of moments in the franchise like Saitama snapping Sonic's Katana with his teeth without damaging the interior of his mouth) which wouldn't be the same as Garou's feat since unlike this scene Saitama has taken similar looking blows from other entities during fights without a scratch
Why would getting scratched by claws be similar to getting scratched by a punch, despite Garou (and others) literally punching him earlier to no effect?
