STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Ryuumon became a Dragon monster

As much as I want to assume "A" is lying and Ryumon has a transformation ability as part of a unique power... yeah, probably he did monsterize. If he could transform into a dragon at will he would have done that before "A" reduced him to a bloody twitching mess. Also not foreshadowed at all, unlike the strong emotions + near death experience = powerful monster formula recurring here.

I swear Ryumon is crying just a little under his left eye in that final panel. IDK if he can speak like this... I hope he's not just a monster, although it could slow down the group for a bit.

They're not dragon level

What are they then? I just refuse to accept that they're demon level cyborgs

I mean...
Cyborigified Koko and Mars Leo <= base Metal Bat (can beat him up) << pumped up Metal Bat (one-shots the guys who were pumping him up) = Erimin and Destro disguised < Erimin and Destro not disguised (force Metal Bat to power up yet again to beat them) < current Metal Bat

Koko and Mars Leo gotta be demons to mess up Metal Bat like that, even if they are relatively weak ones. Erimin's and Destros forms are just so much stronger and they've got a special role in the Organization as cyborgs left over from some earlier phase + being trusted to supervise the neo-leaders. It also feels wrong to me they would send two confirmed demon levels to supervise Child Emperor, Metal Bat, Blue, Raiden, Darkshine and Suiryu (Webigaza is a cyborg so I won't count her)

The youtuber Zhoniin will be very happy, he predicted Elimin and Destro where what he called the "brain robot" and "the grey fox robot" from their first "human" appearance as part of the Neo-Heroes.

{EDIT} Based on what Koko/solitude said when he first saw them, they should be both be cyborgs. Not just Erimin, who has a visible brain, but Destro who seems to have gone dumb due to Metal Bat induced brain damage. I wonder what Erimin(ate)/Destros' connections to our favorite cyborg of mysterious origin, Genos(ide) are... were they all related as humans? I mean Metal Bat totally smashed that brain so he just straight up merced a "human" being lol. What an insane showing though to tear Dragon Level Machine Gods apart with his bare hands though-- WC Metal Bat has finally shown how much of a beast he is...

And Ryumon, holy hell I didn't see that power coming. I love it though... is his tattoo magical?? Or is he just a monster? I would like to think it's an ability he has, but he was pretty darn emotional in their fight so "A" could be telling the truth and he's just a monster now. Fingers crossed he's an intelligent monster like Amai-Mask/Gouketsu.

First thing I thought about when I saw them was Zhonin lol

And Ryumon monsterfied then and there. I think Fuzzy or Fake Fuzzy actually had a hand it in with their power as we see the eyes and visions.

everyone predicted these things ages ago ,a lot of people thought they were the robots from the moment they appeared and connected it to genos too as they follow the same naming type

they can be but of a higher level since even between the demon levels there is a big difference in power as Blue said in the webcomic it is never 100% certain that Blue himself who then defeated alone a gargantuan dragon level that melted half of the city L... so Destro and Elimin can be High demon levels and Koko and Leo cyborg can be low demon levels... also considering the fact that the latter took our dear Metal chad by surprise and that Destro also fought against him and that they used an avalanche of sedatives against him in the finale which led the two cyborg slaves to manage to take down Metal Bat who then our Bad in the webcomic is not as strong as in the manga and that the only fight he had was the one with Melzalgard until the saga of the neo Heroes so I would say that Koku and Leo <Metal Bat base the latter base is superior even if not by too much because in any case the 2 bot slaves did damage to him but little without external help and not they tore apart as you say so for me Leo and Solitude<Metal Bat base (they can do damage to him but nothing that Metal Bat can't handle, he holds up without problems in a fight without taking anyone off guard and in which there is no deception on either side)=<Elimin and Destro without the bot versions<Metal Bat powered up but still a bit restrained (because he fought with those who seemed to him to be people and he himself thanks them for revealing that they were not human beings)<Elimin and Destro not disguised<Metal Bat powered up without holding back who bullied both of them with not much difficulty even though damaged and with only his fists without the club with which he is more used to fighting

then the fact that they sent 2 demon level characters is a bit like Phoenix man who even though he wasn't at the executive level and was a demon level had a high position in the monster association

WC Metal Bat is already confirmed to be hanging around Dragon levels when pumped up, it's obvious if they pushed him this much that they are Dragon level as welll.

where? It has been confirmed that he can fight with dragon levels, yes, but it is not known if he reaches High dragon or above dragon levels here... one thing is certain for me: the powered up Metal Bat does not immediately reach dragon level and the fact that Metal Bat, unlike the manga, has almost never fought does not allow him to show himself at dragon level in the webcomic in my eyes. Even if he is using the Fighting Spirit, he can certainly fight there and if really pushed he can defeat them but in this case I think that neither Elimin nor Destro seemed like real threats to Bat. The fact is that their human versions were killed off screen and the bot ones were eliminated quite easily by a Metal Bat who fights with fists ehhh... for me it is:
WC Metal Bat base mid demon level
WC Metal Bat pumped that holds back mid-high demon level
WC Metal Bat pumped without bat but only with fists low dragon level

if they pushed him so much it means that both of them are high demon levels and they made him jump to Metal Bat at dragon level
Imo
 
I'm doing a 5-C Tournament (High 6-A characters are allowed)
i want to use Tatsumaki as a Tier setter.

Whats a tier setter you migh ask? well the idea is this as seen here in previous tournaments.

Anyone wanna be co-host ?
 
We already know that in this universe, if you believe hard enough and with all of your will, you can turn into a monster
 
Hey...remember what Saitama said in the Arc of the house of evolution?
"Humanity has the power to modify themselves"

yay.
but using Tatsumaki as a Tier setter is a bad ide.

Would monster King orochi be a good tier setter.
After all tier setter objective is, not to participate but be a bouncer for whose gonna be in the tournament.

I already have source code for tournament ready, I guess I'll send you the code and you just start it I guess ? you're way better as choosing participants too or do you want me to start it and you'll pick the characters? idk send me message or something.

Fake Fuzzy aka "Eyenet" (calling it that because it's like skynet but all of the Machine Gods have one eye) asking McCoy to monsterize and kill the hero squad was, in a weird way, my highlight for the chapter

As if McCoy could just go "sure thing boss, let me channel my inner emotions and lack of self-control and transform into an above-dragon monster because you told me to" if he wanted. Lol

This and Eyenet getting annoyed at Amai Mask trying to talk to Ryumon and blocking his view of the monsterization process

There's something really charming to me about how un-monstery the machine gods are- they want information and control, not destruction, although their ruthless nature gives them the appearance of monsters. Like look at any machine god dialogue- they have an innate curiosity and stoicism as well as their egos.

Also, shout out to Metal Bat for being a chad and Ryumon and Accel having the comeback of the century. It's really really cool how these seemingly minor characters are actually pushing the plot forward in their own ways as they grow as people

I wonder what the Stench is cooking

Something smelly, no doubt...

Unrelated, but I guess Neo-Hero headquarters was really a rather minor outpost for the organization, there were like 5 machine gods blocking Metal Bat from the antenna + Erimin and Destro. That's not a lot of protection given the amount of machine gods we know they have...

But what if... they were intending to use a beserk neo-suit Darkshine to guard the tower? If it could amp his strength further + make him fight to the death that would be a very powerful weapon for them. Obviously he was too strong for the suit (symbolism and such)

The most amusing thing to me has always been how the Machine Gods are extremely sassy and arrogant, I don't think a single one of them has ever been the stereotypical serious and calculating AI.
Click to expand...
That's exactly what I mean! I was forgetting the word in English.

Yes, the machine gods are surprisingly sassy for killer robots, sassy in a rational way, it's hard to describe but I would point to G4 vs King as the most classic example:

G4: "King I've come to kill you, show me your powers."​

King: "I have to go pee first."​
​
G4: "..."​
​
G4: "fine, go pee, but if you don't come back I'll get mad about it"​

Then with Suiko it's like.

Miller: "Hey, I'm here for King, show me where he is."​
​
Suiko: kicks him in the face​
​
Miller: "Okay, IDK who the hell you are but you can't be s-class because that didn't hurt. I don't want to waste any time here, so please just point out King's lunch table or whatever"​
​
All of their interactions are like this and it's the funniest thing for me. Fake Fuzzy telling McCoy to monsterize and kill everyone is just the latest example of their unique humor style. I'll miss them when this arc is over.
