STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Just make Blast AP at least 7-B citing that as one of the most powerful S class heroes he should at least match the AP of Dragon level threats or something idk

Blast scaling to Garou in speed but having 7-B AP would make him the anti-Boros

 

[Tyranno223]

He should honestly just straight up scale in my opinion. He was confident against Garou despite managing to sense energy, managed to move at similar speeds, and might have damaged him (Garou's form makes it unclear).

 

[Lightning_XXI]

They scale with their suits. As sonic showed the armor is > operators. If you have a scan of her damaging the armor then yeah she would scale that way.

Well apparently it was off screen

Still, I guess she could be "At least 8-B, at most Low 7-B" ? There is a chance of them being controlled after a whip strike instead of taking out their armor and then haxing them. It would make Fubuki's scaling a little bit more consistent

There is that detail aswell, Blast has power reading

He should scale, likely or not, I don't really mind, but he deserves the Tier

 

[Phoenks]

Blast at the absolute minimum would still be above the likes of Boros, Tatsumaki, and Psyrochi in terms of stats.

I think Blast’s ratings based on this chapter alone would be something like.

AP, Dura, Striking Strength etc: At least High 6-A (Insert Reasons), likely 5-A (Insert Reasons), possibly High 4-C (Insert Reasons).

Speed: At least FTL

5-A and High 4-C would have the same reasons which is just "scaling to Garou"

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

"Unknown, likely 5-A to High 4-C" seems better

 

[Magmag]

Unknown is a hated tier overall but is a goated tier in opm for me

 

[Phoenks]

"Unknown, likely 5-A to High 4-C" seems better

I think it's fair to put him above Flash, PS, and Sage Centipede at the very least.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Rating would either be

At least Multi-Continent level (Considered by Tornado to be more powerful than herself), likely Large Planet level, possibly Large Star level (Scales to Garou)

Or

Unknown. Likely Large Planet level, possibly Large Star level (Scales to Garou)

Or

Large Planet level, possibly Large Star level (Scales to Garou)

Or

At least Multi-Continent level (Considered by Tornado to be more powerful than herself), likely higher

 

[Dienomite22]

First or third one. Unknown is icky to me

 

[Lightning_XXI]

Putting him above Tatsumaki, Flash, or others seems rather unnecessary for me, nobody close to their power would have done what Blast did. You don't need to push a somewhat arbitrary and unnecessary "At least" Tier to someone who has a "Likely", it's perfectly valid to leave it as it is, if Blast ends up only likely scaling to Garou's AP, he will be "Likely 5-A, possibly High 4-C"

Garou is currently "At least FTL, likely higher" and I believe CF Garou will have a "Likely Far Higher" if no other speed feat is showed, Blast should have that too

Edit: And for the love of God, no Unknown

 

[Dienomite22]

Garou, Blast and Saitama should be beyond FTL+ by now no cap

 

[Kachon123]

Blast would just be Possibly High 6-A. He does not scale to Garou in AP or Durability.

 

[LordTracer]

I’d go with “Likely Large Planet level, possibly Large Star level” or just “Large Planet level, possibly Large Star level”.

 

[IRizz21]

"Unknown, likely 5-A to High 4-C" seems better

i think it looks better for temporary profile than blast

I agree with unknown

 

[Lightning_XXI]

Garou, Blast and Saitama should be beyond FTL+ by now no cap

Saitama coming back from GRB could give us good results...buuut

 

[Kachon123]

I’d go with “Likely Large Planet level, possibly Large Star level” or just “Large Planet level, possibly Large Star level”.

Why? Blast did 0 visible damage to Garou. He would just scale in speed.

 

[Phoenks]

Garou, Blast and Saitama should be beyond FTL+ by now no cap

4x FTL <<< Garou (3-Way Fight) < Garou (Post-Sage Centipede) < Garou (2nd form) < Garou (3rd form) < Garou (Final Form) <<< Awakened Garou <<< Saitama

 

[Dienomite22]

Garou should’ve went on an hero rant about Saitama’s heroism for being the strongest and fastest in the verse yet failing to save a disciple. Would’ve played into Saitama’s doubt, reaffirm Garou’s belief about heroes big time and make the readers think differently about how Saitama approaches villain encounters.

 

[JustANormalPerson01]

Why? Blast did 0 visible damage to Garou. He would just scale in speed.

Here it seems to be something coming of from Garou, idk if it's "blood" or what

 

[LordTracer]

Here it seems to be something coming of from Garou, idk if it's "blood" or what

It’s already been explained a few times that it’s not blood. But Blast being able to yeet Garou and pummel him means that his striking strength should be at least somewhat close to Garou’s durability.

 

[Kachon123]

4x FTL <<< Garou (3-Way Fight) < Garou (Post-Sage Centipede) < Garou (2nd form) < Garou (3rd form) < Garou (Final Form) <<< Awakened Garou <<< Saitama

They're 8x due to Garou double armed form

 

[JustANormalPerson01]

What is it, then?

 

[Dienomite22]

But Blast being able to yeet Garou and pummel him means that his striking strength should be at least somewhat close to Garou’s durability.

That logic is dangerous. It can be applied to many monsters that did the same to Saitama.

 

[Kachon123]

But Blast being able to yeet Garou and pummel him means that his striking strength should be at least somewhat close to Garou’s durability.

Why? Knocking someone back doesn't mean they scale. Especially when Garou goes out of his way to say Blast isn't worth his attention.

 

[Lightning_XXI]

There are other implications aswell, Blast being able to sense energy and still be confident enough to take on Garou while holding back to not kill him or cause too much damage, Garou copying his powers and being surprised by his attacks, him praising him to be indeed worthy of N1

Like I said above, Blast deserves the Tier

Also, I'm repeating my words but no, Garou saying that to Blast doesn't mean Blast is nothing, it means Garou has a far stronger target to face and copy, that being Saitama

 

[Kachon123]

What is it, then?

It's what comes out of the Gravity Knuckle. It's shown here as well

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

So the black specks do indeed seem to appear when Gravity Knuckle is used, so i don't think we can say it's blood or pieces of Garou being chipped/hit off

Why would the specks be on the other side of Garou's face as he is smacked and not around Blast's fist as you can see in the second picture.

That's not enough for a rating.

 

[Therefir]

Garou considered Blast's Gravity Knuckles worthy of being copied and use it in conjunction with his Nuclear Fission attacks.

 

[Kachon123]

The specks are at the impact too.

 

[Kachon123]

Garou considered Blast's Gravity Knuckles worthy of being copied and use it in conjunction with his Nuclear Fission attacks.

That doesn't mean anything.

 

[Therefir]

Blast should fully scale Imao, why are people suddenly so against it now? A High 6-A character would be able to smack Garou around?

 

[Magmag]

That doesn't mean anything.

And Garou saying that means nothing…

 

[Kachon123]

 

[Therefir]

Garou's face even appears to be caved in a bit after Blast's first hit.

 

[Therefir]

That doesn't mean anything.

Yes it does, Garou copies the power and skills of his opponents.

That's how he is able to copy Saitama's strength.

 

[Kachon123]

Blast should fully scale Imao, why are people suddenly so against it now? A High 6-A character would be able to smack Garou around?

Why would he scale? Garou was obviously caught off guard. He was hit right after being hit into a portal, then got combo'd with multiple portals.

As I said multiple times, Blast scales in speed, but definitely not in AP or Durability. He did 0 visible damage, and Garou said Blast isn't worth his time.

 

[CosmicWreck]

Blast should fully scale Imao, why are people suddenly so against it now? A High 6-A character would be able to smack Garou around?

Usually I would agree but this is one punch man, where much stronger people can get smacked around (Saitama) or made to bleed (Tatsumaki) by much weaker people by holding back so it's kind of hard to properly gauge. There's also the fact that even after all that Garou doesn't seem threatened at all.

If anything, blast >>> Garou in speed with this logic.

and as its been stated multiple times, Garou’s statement holds no value.
