Can we use Saitama not being able to use techniques as reference for anything?

Why wouldn't Garou scale without Saitama mode? If he believed he could only have 3-C or 4-A attack potency or thought he is no match against Saitama without going into Saitama mode he would've never stopped using it in the first place nor use his other abilities when we know he was able to deduce that Saitama wasn't using his full power before getting serious last chapter.
He states Saitama is limitlessly strong and that he just has to copy him limitlessly in order to win (meaning over and over) so I'm willing to assume that's what's happening.

Cause he’s got no feats on that level without Saitama Mode. It’s that simple.

That's a pretty cursed gap
I suppose it means his combat experience kinda sucks Post-Training

So Blast's profile prob needs to have a weakness or something in it that he seemingly can't do an interdimensional gate if there's too much energy. If he could, then he would have done that with Saitama and Garou, but instead he could only bring them to somewhere in space above Earth, and then attempting to at least try to direct the energy away from Earth.

Wait, should Saitama actually get resistance to BFR if Blast's portals have the weakness of being unable to warp things that are too strong?

He shouldn't get resistance, but rather would have NPI (and whatever else may apply) for being able to kick portals away.

That's not a Resistance to BFR. BFR is too broad of an ability for that.

He already has NPI, so it’s just added justification.

You do know the other galaxy is just like, right above Garou's shoulder right? Both are still present in the scene.

Him kicking away the portal and then ******* grabbing and turning the other one is prob gonna be one of my fav OPM moments of all time. Someone earlier said it was like Looney Toons level of visual comedy, and I agree, it was amazing.

So it's logical that Garou after going Saitama mode for the SSSP gets a permanent 4-A or 3-C upgrade in durability but not in attack potency when he explicitly stated to copy power.
Genius
- 16,286
- 17,800
He ain’t got 4-A/3-C feats without Saitama Mode, so he doesn’t get 4-A/3-C AP without Saitama Mode.
- 22,699
- 23,286
The feat isn't 3-C. You'd have to use incredibly high assumptions to get it there. The 4-A calc I or the other dude did should probably be used since that requires a less extreme assumption.
Apeironaxim
He/Him- 3,695
- 1,444
yeah the only 4-A feat he gets in base is for his dura. And we even see Garou doing a big combination of all the styles he has and Saitama doesn't get hurt, the worst that happens is his clothes get destroyed. Garou just straight up doesn't have any feats to give him 4-A AP in base
- 7,897
- 3,859
But he has 4-A/3-C durability. That he is apparently getting even without Saitama mode after using Saitama mode.
Makes much more sense than the narrative implying that Garou and Saitama are just both having a reactive evolution battle.

doesnt he outright retain the copied power though, even without using the specific mode?
- 23,383
- 21,121
We can just make a thread to decide on which calc makes most sense, similar to how we did for the Garou feat prior to it getting axed.

Idk I've seen people wank characters like Yujiro to Large mountain level and Relativistic+ speed on his base form lol
- 7,897
- 3,859
Going by what Garou says and what was shown, yes. Along with Saitama growing in this battle as well at a far higher rate than Garou who can only copy his power can.
Here, no.

I wonder if Murata meant the arc is ending, some japanese guy on reddit said that the kanji that was translated as "series" isn't the one commonly used there.
Also, it really makes no sense it ends here when characters like Sonic still around or all the setup we had with Drive Knight, Metal Knight and The Organization...

Yeah, he has durability on that level. That’s it. The level of his durability is irrelevant to his attack potency unless he’s got feats that would show his AP scales to his dura.

To quote a guy on Twitter:

If the series is ending its probably just a hiatus. Murata might want to do other stuff and leave OPM alone for a bit since it likely eats up most of his time.
Assuming its true and all.

Not really, in Murata’s backgrounds he draws galaxies, so it’s fair to assume that the explosion occupied space from one galaxy to the Milky Way. Although I’ll give you that the 4-A end is definitely the safe end, I’m just saying the tier 3 end isn’t unjustified
- 7,897
- 3,859
He has the feat. He stated he copied Saitama's full power and does. It's just that Saitama limitlessly grows as well hence Garou's statement at the end of the chapter saying he will just copy Saitama endlessly.
- 16,286
- 17,800
The feat was performed in Saitama Mode, so it only scales to Saitama Mode.
- 7,897
- 3,859
Then he doesn't have 4-A durability without Saitama mode.
- 16,286
- 17,800
Except he does, because he was shown taking multiple hits from Saitama. You’re acting like his AP and dura have to be the exact same, and they don’t.
Apeironaxim
He/Him- 3,695
- 1,444
are you ignoring that he was taking hits from a full power Saitama while not in Saitama mode?
- 16,260
- 24,937
The limitlessly statement is a mistranslation apparently. The Kanji for limitless isn’t in the raws
- 7,897
- 3,859
They don't have to be the same if that's what's narratively being implied. That isn't what's happening. Garou has been dead set on copying Saitama's power and does so but him to suddenly not have it when not in Saitama mode but have 4-A durability is completely ludicrous.
Nope

Let's see an accurate translation of it
- 16,260
- 24,937
どこまでもつえ強ェ…。!!!! (First panel in where he supposedly says "limitlessly strong")
Deepl: How far they can go... !!!!
The panel below where he supposedly once again says limitlessly: どこまでもコイツをコピーしてやる打うかち克って
DeepL: I'll copy this guy wherever I can.
(DeepL is a machine translation site. kinda better than google translate ig)
Anyways, even with all of these, I cant really find the kanji for limitless in the raws from what I have noticed, so...
- 16,286
- 17,800
If he doesn’t have AP feats on that level, then he doesn’t get AP on that level. Period. We don’t go “oh this character isn’t portrayed as a stone wall, so their AP and Dura have to scale to each other”. That’s just not a thing.
