I know but he doesn't start with it
True, he does not, but Parallel Time Saitama is always serious and will use it if needed. I'm not just making it up, after he copied it, he didn't stop using it until he was well superior to Garou.
I see, But doesn't close the gap that quick
It does. As I've said:
His AP may be only what is shown on the wiki, but his AD still shows him having grown enough to one shot someone that scales much higher than their calced AP value.
In Garou's profile, it states that he grew exponentially since the feat. (
Copied and evenly matched Saitama's Serious Punch, generating an explosion that
obliterated millions of stars[4]),
Varies with Power Mimicry (
Grew exponentially in power while
copying Saitama's strength
[2]),
higher with Reactive Evolution
And Saitama quickly rose to One-Shot level. This is not an AP feat, this is AD, and it is accepted
Like what i said before;
4000 years of experience + experience of the main cast
And the fact he beat Shadow and fought toe to toe with Sonic
Do any of them come even close to Garou in skill level? As Phoenks Said:
A debate of skill is the last thing you want to do.
Saitama could effortlessly copy Garou, who is among the best on the entire wiki in terms of skill and power mimicry.
This even includes absolutely ridiculous abilities such as Sub-Atomic body control time travel...
Like, sure the speed amp thing is a pretty big factor, but Saitama is wiping the floor with Sonic verse in a hand to hand fight.
Aside from Emerl, Sonic characters start with homing attacks
And when was Emerl shown to use it, and if he was, how long did he take to use it.
