One-Punch Man: Some Garou additions

[Farfetchedx]

Garou should get these:

Superhuman Precision
Much like his master, he can pierce even the smallest vital points with a single strike of unmatched accuracy

Addition to Garou's Durability Negation justification, and Possibly Greater Superhuman Precision
Over time, he could potentially attain Nichirin’s level of cutting precision with his blade-like hand, refined enough to slice between the cells of an apple without visible damage, as the precision of his techniques can be honed to extremely high levels through combat

Garou should get resistance to these:

Fear Manipulation
Garou was unaffected by Royal Ripper’s aura, which scared off nearby birds

Analytical Prediction and Attack Reflection via Watchdog Man’s fighting style
Garou noted that he was unable to read Watchdog Man’s movements, and that his techniques were ineffective due to Watchdog Man’s animalistic fighting style

Sleep Manipulation
Garou should be comparable to Metal Bat, who can resist sleeping gas
This was removed from the willpower page based on the argument that there was no mention of willpower allowing Metal Bat to do this, and that it was instead a result of his fighting spirit.

Well Garou's RE should work similarly to Metal Bat’s fighting spirit. The 2 were compared twice. First when Garou had resisted Psykos' telekinesis, and when they worked together, with the narration stating that their powers were similar in nature. So similar to Metal Bat, Garous RE would allow him to resist sleep manipulation in the same way he resisted Orohi's heat and Psykos' telekinesis

Analytical Prediction and Attack Reflection via Watchdog Man’s fighting style
Garou noted that he was unable to read Watchdog Man’s movements, and that his techniques were ineffective due to Watchdog Man’s animalistic fighting style

That doesn't really look like a resistance feat for Garou, that kind of looks like it's a feat for Watchdog Man that his fighting style is so unorthodoxed, that Garou simply couldn't copy it. Though, those are arguably abilities Watchdog Man could receive.

The rest looks good to me.

Addition to Post-Centipede Garou's Durability Negation, and Greater Superhuman Precision
With his blade-like hand, he should be comparable to Nichirin, whose precision was so refined that he could slice between the cells of an apple without damaging it.

This is pure speculation.

Garou should get resistance to these:

Fear Manipulation
Garou was unaffected by Royal Ripper’s aura, which scared off nearby birds and left Tareo so terrified that his legs gave out.

Neutral to the birds, but I disagree with Tareo part. Tareo is just generally scared of monsters, and Royal Ripper was an infamous demon level monster who's known for his sadism toward children.

The rest are fine.

Garou didn't demonstrate anything resembling Nichirin in these scans.

None of these scans work.

I was going to comment on that, but I was looking at Garou's profile and it seems to be accepted that he copied the dog's style when facing Genos.

.(Assumed the movements of Watchdog Man against Genos)

What he's proposing is that Watchdog Man has these resistances, and because Garou copied his style later in the series, he would get them as well.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

He tried to copy it, though ended up demonstrating an amateur version of it. And we also know WDM was holding back his speed and power exponentially. But a limited version seems alright then.

I also agree with Kachon's other contentions.

 

[Kachon123]

It's actually implied that Garou mastered it, just like he did with all the other styles he absorbed. Even though Watchdog Man was holding back during his fight, the level he showed was still enough to render him completely unpredictable in the eyes of Hero Hunter Garou.

 

[Farfetchedx]

This is pure speculation.

Garou became the pinnacle of martial arts upon killing Sage Centipede, which means he was superior to Nichirin in skill

Neutral to the birds, but I disagree with Tareo part. Tareo is just generally scared of monsters, and Royal Ripper was an infamous demon level monster who's known for his sadism toward children.

Sure, the Tareo part can be cut out
But its still fear manip based on his hair floating, and the birds fleeing, which is similar to what Atomic did at 0:20

Garou didn't demonstrate anything resembling Nichirin in these scans.

The scans are just showing his blade like hands. He's superior in skill to Nichirin.

None of these scans work.

Self-proclaimed.

Floating hair is not a justification for fear manipulation.

 

[Phsccarvalho]

This scan should be used primarily. What's linked is the "normal" Garou just making cutting effects with his hands. It's nothing relevant.

Regarding Pinnacle, honestly, could it be other things? That he's the strongest martial artist, that he reached the pinnacle of his own martial arts, or the martial arts of his territory (unarmed combat), especially since, as far as I remember, Garou never used martial arts with weapons?

In any case, I'm Neutral, because this implies reaching a point where this Garou should have access to any power derived from martial arts of people weaker than him.

 

[Farfetchedx]

Self-proclaimed.

Author's intent was definitely that he became it though. It's even stated on chapter covers

Floating hair is not a justification for fear manipulation.

No, I'm saying that its an indication of Aura, and we know aura can induce fear. The birds feeling only justifies it

 

[DavidTPPM]

Yeah the nichirin stuff just doesn't work. Even if we were extremely generous and assumed Garou can achieve the same level of precision that wouldn't mean he can do so with his hands.

It's pretty telling that Garou was never even slightly implied to being capable of doing so

 

[Kachon123]

I wouldn't mind if it's indexed that Garou can reach that level over time as its been stated that the precision of his skills can be honed to high levels through combat, but giving him that ability just for being the "pinnacle of martial arts" does not work.

 

[Farfetchedx]

I'm fine with that.

I guess it would be something like this:
Over time, he could potentially attain Nichirin’s level of cutting precision with his blade-like hand, refined enough to slice between the cells of an apple without visible damage, as the precision of his techniques can be honed to extremely high levels through combat.

What are your thoughts on the new proposals, and what Kachon said about Garou mastering Watchdog Man's style?

I didn't think there were others...A man who can pull a divine feat such as passing his blade through the gaps between the cells

This is how a former translator I was in contact with translated it.

The rest looks good to me.

I agree with DDM.
