the difference is that we've already seen her peak, while watchdog man is one of the most underutilized characters in the series, and hasn't shown any sign of having ever been challenged

Maybe, but you call that as having more evidence than Tatsumaki ?
We still haven't seen Tatsumaki's peak, and she might get stronger at some point

was she not knocked out during the final battles? At the very least, she's not anywhere near tier 4. I can't see her being beyond like, perfect garou's 5-C.
Meanwhile watchdog man hypothetically has the potential to be a tier character. He's similar enough to saitama aesthetically, and we don't know of any characters that are comparable to him. In his only notable appearance afaik, he's just casually stomping garou and that's all he really does. At least we don't have any way of knowing what his upper limit could be.
At best tatsu is still weaker than blast, while watchdog man really doesn't have any evidence of not being a god tier. To me he's just too mysterious and seemingly powerful to not have some higher power.

Tatsumaki is homeless guy level confirmed

I firmly believe that Metal Knight will surpass Tatsumaki.
- 6,775

Ehhhh I doubt it, sure he has potential but making him Tier 4 would be the biggest asspull on the series
- 13,905
- 5,421
Metal knight is def one of the strongest non top tiers but definitely isn’t gonna be breaking planets for the next decade
He is ranked as high as he is, despite most likely having an absolutely horrendous popularity level (he rarely helps) so he’s at least impressive. He’s probably stronger than genos
They could always go “multiversin time” and reveal that watchdog man is an alternate universe Saitama or some shit

I just hope Metal Knight's hype doesn't end with "an army of 1000000 7-Bs" and is actually answered with a badass looking Robot (or himself in an armor), with Batman's Hellbat style of a super OP armor that doesn't last that long because it's too much energy
His final, most powerful, last hope weapon

?
is this one literally trying implying that a featless character will defeat a high 6-a character (being buffed to 5-c/low5-b)?
not gonna discuss
- 5,133

maybe, but not on raw power, never.
i can see him with an anti-esper weapon
- 13,905
- 5,421
No you clueless specimen
I’m saying that he has a higher chance of being tier 4 than tatsu, not that he has a higher chance of being tier 5
- 2,673

We will see. In past High 6-A Genos or 4-A Garou would sound absurd to many and look at now.
He will introduce mecha Boros, sending the whole fandom back to Garou vs Boros.

so a few strong dragons can dodge and hk genos

no, he hasnt.
at best tier 6 lol, in the best occasion.
meanwhile tatsumaki has evidences and plenty potential to be planetary, watchdog only defeated a 7-c garou lol

God I have no idea. I honestly cannot get a good read of Watchdog Man. I don't think he's gonna be a major contributor to the story though, I think his main purpose is to be a furry, and more importantly, to serve as a plot point in Garou's story line, which he's already done. I think he's gonna be around Awakening Breath Silverfang tier at most.
But if he actually turns out to be in the same boat as Saitama going off of his absurd strength and similar apathetic expression. I think another factor in the theory many people haven't considered is the City Q thing. City Q is stated to be the most dangerous city in OPM, but is safe due to Watchdog Man's protection. This reminds me of how City Z is a ghost town overrun with Monster's, but in reality it isn't that dangerous simply because Saitama lives there. It isn't the fodder Monster's that makes me think they could be similar, but how both of them make what are otherwise extremely hazardous cities safe just with their presence alone.
Inb4 Watchdog Man is a Blast group member in disguise or something, and the strongest of them. He only leaves City Q if Blast or the HA personally calls him.

While I don't think God trying to control Tatsumaki is very relevant to her position in the power rankings, in all fairness, HE only got blessed by God specifically due to his ambitions being on the same track as God's own.
- 5,133
- 1,263
tbh, GOD only lays a hand to these that he wants as his avatar, if he choose tatsumaki instead of psykorochi, Homeless Emperor and others blessed by him, prob theres a reason behind it
- 7,199
- 7,583
I think there's a major difference between these guys and what he considers an avatar though.
He granted them specifically an ability to utilize some kind of energy that they could mold into blast's. HE seemed to only make explosive energy spheres, whereas Psykorochi got the God Blast's. If Black Sperm was right, HE and Pyskorochi were probably getting their energy directly from God himself. Still, they retained their own thoughts, feelings, and motives, generally speaking. They were granted a power by God, but they were still just mere servants of him.
Garou on the other hand felt more like an actual representative of God and his will. Not just a mere servant, but quite literally an avatar, as he's termed. He got way more than just the ability to use energy blast's, in addition to his mind being directly influenced massively by God, though he wasn't completely under God's control obviously. Basically, Garou technically was God during that fight, but only a fraction of him.
Which is why I'm quite confident God is probably stronger than Saitama as of right now.

God has done 0 things combat applicable, and he wouldn't scale to cosmic garou after he was amping himself. In fact, the only thing the initial energy amp to cosmic garou did was make him unquantifiably stronger than he was after saitama beat the monster out of him. Basically, god doesn't actually have any real scaling, we don't even have solid evidence of him being consecutive normal punches level

ONErata couldn't decide if they wanted to go with the "Garou is controlled by God" route or "Garou remained in control" route and so they confusingly flipped flopped between the two routes during the fight.

Another reason why Cosmic Fear Garou was a mistake.

shut up

That's cool but being told and shown he isn't controlled and then told and shown the opposite is annoying. It makes it seem like they don't know what route they wanted to take with Garou, which is something that shouldn't be controversial to say considering the redraw that showed just that.
- 2,280

He says he is not controlled by god, yet is unable to comprehend that his radiation isn't hurting people, it's killing all of them. He kills Genos, completely out of character, and when he says that he isn't god's puppet, we literally see god's pattern right behind him.
Blast says he staved off completete control, and didn't get God's full power, but staveing off complete control still leaves room for influence.

ok and this is why tatsumaki being choose by god to become his avatar is indeed a proof of her Power
- 5,133
- 1,263
this guys believes that watchdog man is stronger than tats, also that garou is stronger than god
- 13,905
- 5,421
not what I said
not what I saidalso that garou is stronger than god
god has 0 notable scaling whatsoever beyond speculation
- 7,199
- 7,583
Coming from the Coomander himself, I don't think taking something about Tatsumaki seriously is a wise choice for myself.
- 5,133
- 1,263
coomandAr, how hard is to write an "a" instead of "e"
also, GOD did lay a hand to tatsumaki, so he def wanted her as an avatar.
- 7,199

Speculative, CeemondRa

Yep. But that doesn’t stop the set up they made at the end of the SvCFG round 1 chapter that explicitly set up and shown with a flashback and everything that Garou wasn’t being controlled just for them to contradict said set up at the beginning of next chapter but not outright deny it. I’m not denying god didnt influence Garou just that the way they went about showing it was annoying.
