STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Genos' leftist meme is obviously not meant to be taken seriously, the whole scene is about him overthinking the situation, trying to come up with explanations like the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics specifically because he doesn't believe Saitama could fail in a possible future (When in reality it's just one timeline with reversal of causality) and then he tries to explain his time travel with Relativity and Speed of Light when Saitama and Garou are both obviously faster than light (and really, they went back in time through anti-particles traveling backwards through time).

It's necessary that he forgot. From a writing standpoint it means he can't use it to undo things in the future. For now.

except he didn't need to do it in the first place. Metal Knight literally comes over and is like "Aight get in the radiation cleansing rooms". All ONE and Murata had to do was just...not have people be dead and just like near dead or something from radiation poisoning. But no, didn't use that very logical way to solve it. Instead, time travel.
 
jesus christ it’s been like over a week and saitama and garou still havent been upgraded to 4-A
 
It would be more interesting if saitama got his memory back slowly, but him losing it is bad writing... unless it was some parody of a terrible anime trope or something

yes, but let's not remove it, because it can still be possible anyway
 
If we used Genos theory then Travel faster than Light can make Saitama and Garou Immeasurable, right.?

I'm gonna die because there prolly be a tiktok that'll make saitama boundless because genos said he transcended space and time

believe me, goku is wanked for more, they put him in boundless (because some shitty philosophical platonic shit koyama's staments)
 
Can someone explain this, Garou can talk to people in the past

Also for all my complaints of the current shit, I do think Saitama's and Genos' friendship in this arc, is the best thing in it weirdly?

It's really satisfying to see their relationship evolve from Saitama seeing Genos as a nuisance, to Saitama just being chill with Genos' company, to Saitama slowly gaining concern over Genos' wellbeing like when Tatsumaki slammed Genos to a wall or when Saitama went out to look for Genos during the EC arc. And then finally, Saitama going ballistics and willing to blow up the ******* planet over Genos' death. It's beautiful.

It also helps that Genos is like, one of the 3 actual friends Saitama has in his life. I remember someone saying Saitama's development isn't him finding a new opponent to rival him, but rather to find a new meaning in life rather than just endless combat.

Saitama and Genos are one of my favorite duos in all of fiction, almost on the level of the World's Finest or the Brave and the Bold, and this arc, despite all of it's many faults, reinforces that idea and is actually better done here than the webcomic.

Wow I said the current manga > webcomic for once

i remember back in 2016 people were saying goku was “faster than time” without realizing how that makes literally no sense and isnt a thing, but of course dbztards will say anything if it sounds cool and makes goku look “strong” to win a vs debate
 
Genos: "I need to tell this to the people qho need to hear it. It's my job as a disciple"
That sounds like a quote that came straight from the bible. Is Genos trying to start a new religion centered on Saitama or something?
 
I don't get Garou in this chapter. Why did he just let all of them hit him? I mean, it makes sense that he was weakened by Saitama's punch which drained all of his power, but I don't see why he was acting so high and mighty. He even goaded all of the heroes to just kill him, which I guess makes sense that he'd be defiant in the face of death, but he's not one who'd ever let himself even consider accepting defeat. Especially not when he's being outnumbered and bullied like this. It was nice that Tareo defended him here, but the way Garou's character arc progressed is just all over the place. He doesn't remember any of what happened in the alternate timeline, and neither does Saitama, so I don't see what's stopping him from just resuming his hero hunt once he regains his strength, or what's stopping him from receiving God's power again.

Overall, I still prefer the webcomic for character development and clean plot progression. I didn't like the convoluted mess that appeared during the second half of the Monster Association arc, and too many pieces were inserted at once. In the webcomic, the way Garou's character progressed to become absolute evil, and the way in which Saitama proved the ultimate hurdle which broke him and his ideology, that was very interesting and something I hadn't seen before. While I did enjoy seeing Saitama finally getting some character development and wanting to improve himself, it's all pointless now that he doesn't remember anything, so it might as well have never happened. The only thing Garou and Saitama's fight really did was show a badass fight, but any character development and significant plot points were just reversed.

What are you on about. Fiction is filled with shit like that to the brim. One of the Flash's from DC became faster than the Speedforce at one point. Aka the thing that gives him his speed. It also doesn't make sense people can punch with like tier 5 energy but control it to only do tier 9 damage to the environment, but they do anyway.

God is closer to ressurecting and we have more lore on how Saitama's limiter removal actually affects him.
 
Oh crap completely forgot the new chapter came out today. Oh the Monster Association arc is finally over. Cool. And huh Saitama really doesn’t remember anything huh.

But wait would Zombieman still have his mini arc now that the arc is over and he didn’t see Saitama’s power?

I don't think so tbh. They might skip that one, or they might tweak it to just have Zombieman be interested in the limiter idea, but skip out Saitama

thinking about it Saitama can oneshot dbz Goku with a feat that didn't even happen, this is so humiliating lol

I don't know what's bad, that we just don't count that because it didn't happen (but it's a composite so it does count) or that literally goku vs saitama will last longer than it is
 
Saitama losing all memories and likely physical prowess makes his time travel kinda pointless combat wise.

Only reason he didn't kill Garou is the promise he made for Tareo. In a neutral battle against an equal opponent, by the time Saitama's AD lets him kill the opponent he...just has to do it, no reason to go back in time and do it in onepunch there.

In case he meets an opponent too strong for his AD to work he just gets one-shot or gets to land an extra punch stronger than his own at the start of the fight, at the cost of confusion for both sides.

Only way it'd be relevant is if you somehow assume Saitama would be willing to time travel before the fight starts when his opponent was a baby and that he'd be willing to search for that baby across the entire planet to kill it (That or planet bust).

Could also be useful in case someone seals him or BFRs him somewhere he can't escape, but once again it would give him the advantage of landing one punch when the fight starts.

Tldr: his time travel is just a reset button from qhen you get completely stuck in a phase.
