Saitama's Most Epic Fight Yet (Concluded)

He would die, but that doesn't really stop bug from dying with him either.

Plus, could you actually show me when it melts someone?
 
Have to give this to Ratt through Biological Manipulation and Durability negation, in character Saitama wouldn't take him seriously and we know Ratt isn't exactly stupid
 
Check Josuke vs a rat and Josuke vs Bug-Eaten on YouTube. The anime is pretty accurate to the manga and its easier and SFW to observe. After BE takes out his arm, Jotaro kneels a little to prevent his arm from falling off.
 
Because Jotaro was shoot in the shoulder. If Ratt's darts touches the neck is an insta-win. The head'll fall by the it's weight alone.
 
Yes, so?

If you are talking about Jotaro flicking the dart out of Josuke's neck, that was done during stopped time, which prevented the dart from causing its effect and when time started moving again, the dart was no longer in contact with organic matter.

I meant the owners.
 
Were was it actually showed that it kills people? Plus, what, didn't it attack where you said it does in character?
 
Actualy, didn't the poison only spread when actualy penetrating people? Where does it not needing to pierce someone come from?
 
Attacking the neck would avoid most of the brain. As you saw, they were clearly in vegetable state due to part of their brains melting.

Also, the rat was eating them live if you noticed. It probably avoided killing them as they were not a threat (and it likes its meat fresh?). In the case of our two protags, it was clearly attacking with intent to kill. The Speedwagon Foundation sent them to investigate missing locals, so it is implied that it has killed and eaten people behind the scenes.
 
The ability sheet mentions it, but it has inconsistencies regarding the melting everything part.
 
It works with a poison tough, and it has obvious needles to pierce. It also hasn't actualy shown to melt stuff that it cannot pierce, so I doubt we can just take that.
 
Hell, even in chap 328 they only needed to remove the flesh that was punctured with it.
 
It also had needless on it, and simply put, there is no reason to assume that they do not need to puncture when he later mentions that the flesh that was punctured was the only part that was problematic.
 
Maybe the barbs are to increase the surface area where the poison is applied, and getting pierced quickens the effect?
 
Unless you have actual proof of that, that is a headcanon.

And as far as powers go, they don't have it until proven.

Well, Jotaro said it so that is actual canon.
He also contradicted it. Simply put, there is no actual showing of that actually happening, and it was contradicted. We don't assume it can.

Plus, he's statement doesn't mean being punctured isn't needed, as he('s stand) was still being punctured by the needles

Try holding some sharp object. It won't cut/pierce until you actually apply some force.
What sharp object are you touching? I had a fishing bait puncture me, and I didn't hold it with enough force to stop it from moving at those speeds
 
Epic win
Photo here shows that Jotaro had Star Platinum grab the needle and he was still effected by its poison without being pierced.


Also, Bug-Eaten fra
 
Can cleanly cut a branch in half with a casual swing, so really sharp. Family members warn against touching it.
 
Seriously though, its later mentioned that only the punctured parts were effected, and here its not clear whenever it was punctured or not.

Which ends up with either assuming that it did puncture, which causes no inconsistencies

Or that it didnt, which causes a contradiction and adds a new power.

Unless there us other proof, the furst one would be much more likely to be accepted.
 
If you look at the dart structure carefully, the barbs are the kind found in arrows which you cannot pull out but have to break the shaft and push out instead. Getting pierced by that is possible only if its moving away from Jotaro.
 
No, those can pirce just fine by touching them just fine as well, especially with how small they are.

Plus, that counters my point of one bringing an inconsistency and the otger not how?
 
I'm pretty sure if Star Platinum has MFTL reactions and super precision to the point where it can grab a 1mm speeding opponent, he can safely grab the dart along the barb or in a way where he does not get pierced.

That's going by YOUR logic.

Jotaro had actually said just grabbing and touching it was a mistake, and that simply doing so caused the stand poison to travel into him and melt even his stand.

So if he explicitly says the cause of the flesh melting is from the poison, and that the stand poison enters your flesh through touch alone, then just touching the dart is enough for your flesh to melt.

No assuming he got cut by it because he went into great detail of recounting the situation. No reason for him to leave out something notable like that for Josuke, they're gathering all the information they can on Bug-Eaten so it wouldn't make sense to falsify it.
