STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

I mean, not only is season 1 different from the anime in many ways, entire scenes and characters were added or entirely changed, and Boros not only explicitly says he'll destroy the planet, but the old databook says he's planet level, the OPM Compus (which explicitly follows the anime) says he has enough latent energy to destroy planets and later you have the controversial CSRC statement. Clearly it's a different version of Boros (power-wise) that's just buffed from the manga version, like various other anime characters including Tatsumaki (at the time).

Boros is 5-B in the anime version. Not sure why he doesn't have an anime profile yet, or an anime key on his page would work too.

Because Boros ultimately wouldn't qualify
Certain anime & manga franchises also run into similar problems. For instance, Dragon Ball possesses numerous alternative continuity games, and non-canon movies. Other large scale franchises often run into similar problems, containing numerous non-canonical spin-offs and alternate continuities.

However, problem can arise from this: If one were to allow all alternate and/or non-canon versions of said characters, we would eventually be crowded with dozens of alternate profiles for the same characters. As such, certain limitations must be placed:

4) Franchises which contain non-canonical spin-offs/movies/videogames, et cetera, each with their own continuities and feats, yet not to the extent that Marvel and DC Comics do, should only be allowed profiles for notable original characters from said spin-offs, and not alternate versions of canonical characters, unless they are very prominent and notable.

Ex: Main villains from non-canonical movies of Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, One Piece and the like can be allowed profiles, yet most versions of Son Goku contained in games such as Shin Budokai should not, as the only difference they hold from Canon Goku lies in their extent of power. However, given the prominence and popularity of Dragon Ball GT, alternative versions of Goku and Vegeta from this continuity have been allowed. If the alternate non-canonical version of a character is notable enough in the sense of having their own feats, and a different role and purpose, then it is possible that profiles for them can be created.

5) Certain franchises also contain a variety of spin-offs and alternate continuities, yet justify their existence due to in-series Multiverses. In such cases, Rule Number 3 still applies, albeit to a lesser scale. Original characters from said works are all allowed, yet alternate versions of original canon characters should not be abused.

Ex: Both the Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the Saint Seiya Franchises explain all of their Spin-Off mangas as alternate timelines, and profiles for characters originating from said works are allowed.

To summarize:

The key issue overall is notability/relevance. If a spin-off version of a character is very popular, prominent, and distinctive from the original, with a sufficient number of feats or descriptions to scale from, it can generally be featured.

However, if it is obscure, does not have enough of a distinctive story to even qualify as a separate character (such as if it originates within a fighting game), and very limited information to scale the statistics from, it should likely not be featured.

Ultimately Anime Boros lacks the two big things that would make him a valid target for indexing
  • He's not different enough from his manga version
  • Him having a profile isn't needed for scaling reasonings
One of the main reasons that Toei Goku is allowed to exist for example, is that his profile is needed for GT scaling to be possible. If it wasn't for that (and scaling to other anime movie villains), we probably wouldn't give Goku his own profile.

We also don't allow non-OC Ninja Storm characters for the same reason besides those who are required for scaling with those OCs.
 
Bro got cucked by Tatsumaki lmfao

Boros stating he’d blow up earth doesn’t make it the max, blast stated the sp2 would blow up earth as well and the rest is history

Well he threatened to blow up saitama AND the earth which would mean at least the earth + whatever he perceived saitama’s durability to be
 
Anyways for those who have read the webcomic
does phoenix man’s statement of watchdog man’s monsterization exist in the webcomic or is it a new thing?
 
Jokes on you. Literally nobody else gives a **** about WDM except to make youtube content.

Hard to give a **** about a character who only got any real moment in a flashback fight scene against the weakest form of Garou for like 4 pages and hasn’t even appeared the entire last arc
 
We saw WDM paw shake Garou, so this needs to happen if we see him fight again.
 
The next watchdog man scene needs to be just him smelling a monster on the other side of city Q and instantly killing it at mftl+ speed
