STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

That's why your fav character must be strong

Yeah, Saitama only destroyed photons. Why would anyone think by any reason that when Murata showed a hole in space, he meant the things of that direction were actually destroyed? He obviously wanted to show us that photons were destroyed.

The same happened when Saitama used his serious punch against Boros: the atmosphere was unaffected, but the photons which made contact with the sight of the camera were erased so we couldn't see it.

Saitama destroying Elder Centipede? He didn't destroy it lmaoooo, he just destroyed any method of light reaching him, so he now is an invisible creature. Saitama isn't the one-punch-man, he's the photons-destroyer-man

I'm still seeing copium on reddit that Murata not drawing the hole when Garou and Saitama are flying back to Earth means that the feat is fake 💀

We literally get a shot of the hole being restored during time travel, god damn

Look how defensive he gets.

Against author intent or not, the photon idea is valid and you have no way of proving the beam destroyed anything other than photons. It's like throwing a giant door toward stars and the door then vanishes 1ly away and now you won't see these stars for 1 year anymore.

I made the calc to prove that feat is actually >galaxy and I still see validity in this claim.
 
Now that I think about it, shouldn't Saitama have limited resistance to power copy? While Garou was able to copy his fighting style and strength, he couldn't copy his AD.

Do you legitimately think there was even a chance that ONE really had that in mind when telling Murata about it? It is a massive reach and is implied by nothing. Fictional feats should always be taken at face value unless there is something that outright contradicts it or implies that there is more to it. And in this case, there really isn't. We see a blank void in space where stars were, the basic, natural assumption is that the stars were destroyed, and nothing even implies that it is supposed something else. It is pure speculation.

Either that or it's a weakness for Garou. It depends on what the natural interpretation is on the wiki.

No I don't think Murara remotely thought of it, I think the feat is legit and playing the photon game is a juvenile variant of appeal to reality.

What I however also think is that all these "copium" (even if joking) and "invisible centipede" replies the one guy got are rather out of place because you can still argue it without looking like a complete clown, at least imho. Author's intent is always something you can argue against, whether you should is a different question~

Not trying to white knight the one guy or claiming we should even consider the photon interpretation, I just dislike how everyone slaps away an absolutely acceptable argument.

That's just the vs community my dude. Isn't meant to be a personal attack, and I wouldn't do it to the actual guy himself. Tbh though it is a silly take.

lol, is that for real?????
boros makes no difference here, fusing garou with a high 6-a character would just make him weaker

I dunno man, Garou getting an extra dozen petatons added to his AP sounds like a massive boost, plus he'd get an attack that's over 10 Exatons.

Don't think Saitama could handle that.

Yeah, it may be a valid interpretation, but, Why would we assume the only thing that was destroyed was the light, not the stars themselves?

Also, it's not the same as the giant door example you put. A giant door example is something whose only purpose is to block the light, but, a beam of energy caused by 2 punches followed by a "Boom!" makes the destruction of stars option more obvious

It wasn't a perfect analogy regarding AP, just pointing out how destroying all photons which are as much as 1 second away could already create this panel. That said, IIRC "destroying" photons with energy is pure fiction, as photons generally just vanish and forward their energy when absorbed by matter (would also apply to plasma). I'm sure someone out there can come up with a calc for photon destruction just based on mass but it's slightly more complicated than destroying conventional stuff.

And even though I tried to say multiple times now that we shouldn't bash the photon interpretation, I do agree it's pointless to think of it and we truly shouldn't raise it for any other reason than memeing... or talking about how stuff would go down irl.
 
just let me ask, what is 10 exatons when you can literally destroy billions starts and galaxies? you should check out our tier system....
