never seen a sub Reddit be so overwhelmingly wrong when it comes to their own subject. Jesus.

No. I don't care for Reddit in general, cesspool of snowflake ignorant degenerates with some rare golden eggs, but not worth the trouble in my eyes, and that community in particular doesn't seem to be one of the golden eggs, no less.

I'd imagine that the art shared on Reddit is the best thing about the site. Aside from when someone takes art and doesn't credit the artist.

I am fairly active there but I don't engage in much discussion at all, too many people still believe things like Saitama is a complete gag character or that he doesn't care about Genos. Sometimes I feel the average OPM reader doesn't read the manga at all it's so tiresome...

Casual fans like that tend to not have any critical thinking skills in regards to scaling. They base their beliefs off of their own interpretations, and pretty much disregard actual evidence.

Saitama is a gag character, but he isn't a conventional one. That's the thing most people don't realize.
He's clearly a gag character to some extent, as demonstrated by him being largely comedic relief, several of his feats meaning to be gags, and even outright said by ONE in an interview, but people who compare him to characters like Arale, or god forbid Bugs Bunny, have no idea what Saitama is or what he represents. He's a gag character who parodies typical Shonen protagonists by being the strongest character from chapter/episode 1, rather than growing throughout the series and needing to endure severe obstacles on that path. And being a gag character doesn't make him automatically invincible, nor takes away any potential depth to the character. He has a whole character arc, motive, personality spectrum, interactions and relationships with other characters, and even the main joke is not consistent. The people who think the core of Saitama is "one punch xd" and that there is nothing more in there really misinterpreted virtually everything about him.
The last couple chapters aren't even needed for my point, but they alone prove why Saitama isn't such a flat, one-dimensional character as people like to say. Tbh it's kind of an insult to ONE, who wrote an actually pretty unique main character.

Reason for the "most people". I didn't specify you at any point because I was explicitly referring to people that regarded him as an unbeatable gag character. Thought that was blatant.

why are we scaling everyone and their mothers to in-training saitama?
- 7,196
- 7,580
Because he got curbstomped and almost killed by a Tiger level Monster. Average A-Class Heroes can take on and defeat average Tiger level Monster's solo. So basically, A-Class Heroes scale to a Monster that curbstomped and nearly murdered In-Training Saitama, thus they should scale above him. In-Training (but pre-limiter break) Saitama is probably B-Class level, which is fitting, especially when considering that Glasses is a B-Class and is currently doing the same thing Saitama did.

It was implied that Saitama broke his limiter there, which is the most common belief. But some people deny that because it was never outright said.

In the blog, you said that due to the Martial Artists being able to talk while Suiryu and Choze were moving fast, the full distance can not be used.
I may be wrong, but this seems like an Appeal to Reality Fallacy.
Across multiple manga, comics, and shows (One-Punch Man included), characters have been able able to say entire sentences while having other characters be FTE to them.
One-Punch Man and One Piece just to name a few.
Characters being able to speak does not mean that calcing the distance can't be used. If that were the case, tens possibly hundreds of feats across the site would need to be scrapped and redone. The logic behind your reasoning seems very fallacious to me.
- 22,476
- 18,726
That's not an appeal to reality fallacy. It's literally the opposite, if anything.
The timeframe within the manga itself doesn't line up with the timeframe drawn from real life.
Like what? Where is someone who can't keep up speaking in between a massive blitz.

Oh yeah. I’m perma-banned from the Baki subreddit because someone made a Deku vs Yujiro thread, and I said Deku wouldn’t get stomped.

Hmm.
Since God decides what a limiter is and literally creates them according to Genus, and Garou is now his ”avatar”, does that mean Garou probably doesn’t have a limiter right now?
Remember, removing a limiter doesn’t automatically grant infinite power. It’s just a cap of the POTENTIAL growth they can achieve by training. But Garou now seems pretty confident in being able to get stronger and stronger simply by copying Saitama with no apparently downsides yet.
Hmmmm.

Your first comment above doesn't even counter anything to begin with.
Give an example of those 'tens, possibly hundreds' of FTE feats.
Also, it kind of does if you're explaining that fiction is different from reality.

If we go by this then Garou and Platinum Sperm's light constellation manga timeframe of 1.3 milliseconds shouldn't be used, as it's contradicted by King noticing it happen, even though Normal Human Perception peaks at 130 milliseconds

Firstly, that's not based on a timeframe drawn from real life and applied to the manga. This is you attempting to create a contradiction by drawing comparisons to real life. If anything, this would actually support my point.
Secondly, he didn't notice them move, he noticed the glowing beams made by the constellation. The previous constellation also lasted longer than their movements alone, which is why everyone and their mums noticed it.

To be fair, didn‘t Flashy, Garou and PS’s light constellation last a lot longer than just the timer? Seems the timer only started and stopped at certain times. Normal people were watching it, even on TV I think. I need to reread.
