Exhibit A) Despite Boros being able to "sense Saitama's energy" and exchange a large number of blows with him,
Boros is confident that one hit from his energy beam will vaporize Saitama completely.
He was wrong. Saitama was unharmed.
Being wrong does not mean shit. Confidence scaling does not mean it’s true, it just means that Boros knows that being able to hit his armored form with a high 6-A attack doesn’t mean that they can beat his released form
and Boros describes saitama’s energy as limitless, and only considered himself to have surpassed the limit of living beings when he went meteoric burst. In other words, the “limit of living beings” in Boros’ perspective was his released form, and clearly he sensed that the first normal punch hadn’t surpassed that and only realized that Saitama was above it
after he got his arm knocked off
And again, Boros quite literally directly felt the power when saitama punched his armored form, there is no way in hell you’re saying he took a high 6-A attack, has a sixth sense sense telling him how strong saitama was passively, and then released Boros would be completely unable to estimate how strong the punch was…the punch that literally hit him. At this rate might as well remove all confidence scaling to ever exist, because there is literally no example more blatantly usable than this.
He was doing that based on saitama’s wide eye reaction, not necessarily any visible wounds
and he literally said it was a battle of attrition, meaning that he didn’t even think he was on par with him physically at that moment and would only abuse regeneration. But you know this, because I assume you actually read the scene. Boros being wrong here is irrelevant as well. It’s basically ZombieMan vs carnage kabuto from his perspective.
He didn’t know his upper limit, but he assumed that he’d be able to do chip damage over time, which is reasonable when he was using a form that didn’t use much energy and would’ve had ages to regen over and over.
Confidence scaling in the OPM is repeatedly shown to be the most unreliable thing in the world. Need I remind you of the times that Speed of Sound Sonic has kept trying to attack Saitama and thinking that he's caught up to him after his training, only to be shown that he never stood a chance? Or that Genos thought that Saitama would need help from the hero association to fight Gouketsu?
Then remove all confidence scaling and see how that goes, Jesus Christ dude.
We literally use this for EVERY OTHER ******* CHARACTER except Boros, the one guy who actually can sense energy without even needing to feel it…except he DID feel it.
Go ahead. Remove all confidence scaling justifications. Just do it, since you think this makes any sense whatsoever as a counterargument.
Need I remind you that we quite literally scale Gouketsu above the meteor with a possibly rating due to genos, and that’s with an even less reliable third party that didn’t directly take the impact of the meteor, unlike Boros who is a much more reliable narrator than….genos.
Your counterargument is completely impossible and beyond biased. If you’re dismissing this on the grounds of it being confidence scaling, then you absolutely HAVE to remove the confidence scaling on every other character who is less reliable. This is ridiculous.
