Oh my God, the level of gas Boros was getting was insane.
You should've seen the state of the One-Punch Man discussion thread. I swear, genuinely 30%-40% of the total posts in the thread are about Boros in some way. It got so bad, a separate thread had to be made for Boros, and discussions about Boros was banned from the main thread.
That was the peak of the Saitama vs Goku debate era. Even though I wasn't particularly as involved in the powerscaling community, I still got dragged into it, it was that big.
God, what a terrible time. It was really funny too since Saitama's best feats at that point were multi-continental to planet/star level (if you go with the mistranslated anime guidebook statement) with maybe FTL speed, while Goku was easily Universal+ to Low multiversal and MFTL+ at the time.
Saitama didn't get anything higher than that until the Cosmic Garou fight in the manga.
It's like if a series making fun of stoners caused more people to smoke.
I bet that's happened. I know a lot of anti-war movies caused a lot of people to enlist in the military, which very ironic.
Mfs have no concept of NLF, and gass up feats that do not warrant what they say they yield.
Absolutely. I guess this goes back to the idea that most people (who aren't uber nerds like we are) "power scale" based more on how strong a character "feels" rather than what their actual capabilities are, and with Saitama being Saitama, especially if you're an anime-only, he
feels unbeatable even if he's not.
That and also the heavy downplay of the other verse.
That does happen at times. Though, funnily enough, I remember quite a few One-Punch Man fans were trying to argue that the 4-A feat (which may or may not be higher than that) from the Cosmic Garou fight wasn't Saitama and Garou destroying the stars in the sky, but rather them destroying the photons of light we see from those stars, which was bizarre.
I 100% know that when Empty Void comes to the wiki, the chances of this happening again are gonna be significant.
Well, from what I've seen here on the wiki, for now, Empty Void's feat is just range. It may get way higher if we get elaboration on it, but we'll have to wait and see.
Hell, other debate hubs and even the WIS community is already making waves on his feat (which btw only gives him that level of range, not actual AP).
What's the "WIS community?"
