As you can see above, though, some of us disagree with that.

Well, it is narratively being compared to a real Gamma-Ray Burst, which to me seems like a pretty solid statement to scale it to (at least) a smaller sized version of one. I reckon the physics inconsistencies are simply because, well, plot.
Saitama said it would actually have to touch the Earth to do damage, and well, it didn't. It was shot into space, so no inconsistency with the narrative itself.

Uuuuhm, a Gamma-ray burst would have fried the planet, blinded everyone who saw it, and killed everything with radiation.
One Punch Man is famous for applying rationalistic physics to its story.

So Pre-God Garou is 5-C, Cosmic Armor Garou is probably getting a pretty high rating in Tier 5 or 4 (looks like there's gonna be shit ton of debate on his recent feats)

My apologies then.

my simple explanation of it was that it was a focused attack, not just a GRB that happens naturally, which it obviously didn't. but an actual GRB that is compacted and aimed(in this case, at saitama).
Edit: also lets chill alittle with the petty comments...

Why didn't Hellfire and Gale moving at relativistic speeds create city-encompassing radioactive fireballs and wipe out City Z from the map? I don't think they were actually that fast guys...

Yes, I'm fine with it being smaller scale. I'm not fine with it being Star level.
Yes, yes it would.
This isn't even a matter of realistic physics.
The ******* size alone (both the black hole and the jet) isn't even on remotely the same scale.
I can forgive the unrealistic black hole effects (hell, even the wiki doesn't even accept unrealistic black holes for calcs) and FTL bypassing, but this is ridiculous, especially for a statement that's not even concretely referring to Garou specifically.

Okay so how do we calculate a gamma ray burst?
- 32,347
- 20,289
So you're just selectively deciding that physics should be applied consistently on this one attack on this single chapter of this single series because it happened to personally affect your Suspension of Disbelief?
This is no proper system for making decisions its just an argument from incredulity.
- 32,347
- 20,289
It's like High 5-A even if we go by the reduced radius of Garou's own. Inb4 that is still isn't good by Asura cause radiation didn't kill anyone [insert corny emoji]
- 7,897
- 3,857
If the chapter confirms the cosmos in Garou is legit then that gets rid of any doubt about the gamma burst and he wouldn't even need it because he would be probably 3-C or 4-A from that alone.

Oh, okay. I got the impression you were disagreeing with using it at all.
I also agree we should scale it down proportionally from a real gamma-ray burst. That is completely fair.

another 2 weeks of waiting is going to hurt me. bad.
at least murata actually did exactly what i wanted, and turn garou into an absolute walking nuclear bomb. his destructive capability went through the roof. it would've been lame as shit if cosmic garou's AP went down in exchange for immense skill, kind of like how some dumbass redditors were predicting

No need. The average Gamma Ray burst is 20km wide and produces 1e+44 J.
Now, we just calculate how wide Garou's was, and scale that value down proportionally.

IIRC, real gamma ray bursts are calculated by the size of the jets they emit. They can guesstimate the amount of particles, and they each have an energy of 0.1 MeV, or something like that.
But, the black hole GBE is definitely way higher.

Was it stated that Garou's specifically was star killing, or that GRBs in general were? It's the latter.
Again, the wiki itself drops black hole calculations for these kinds of reasons. So I don't see why we shouldn't do the same here.

Outside of power scaling and feats this chapter is ******* KINO, Boros vs Saitama looks like a joke in comparison

As Murata said

- 239
Murata isn't a scientist, he doesn't know the detail of GRB.Atleast he stated that GRB could destroy a star,i think that's an enough reason for garou 4C
- 15,059
- 21,476
When? /s
- 32,347
- 20,289
This is entirely arbitrary. If the GRB is calculated at like 5-A or High 5-A that would still be enough energy to destroy the planet hundreds of times over and likewise its light should blind the bystanders, the radiation should bleach everyone, and the heat should evaporate everyone.
But would you suddenly be fine with ignoring all that cause there's a fancy calc saying how many Yotattons of TNT Garou's attack is worth, over a statement in the page?
- 7,897
- 3,857
Believable but I think this Garou's feats are meant to hint at how strong God is rather than being feats for the Garou who would be comparable to Boros in their mind if they still believe that.
- 32,347
- 20,289
Gamma-ray Bursts create black holes and there's a depiction of a Black Hole in the page where Garou fires th blast. You can look at Wikipedia and see that Murata based his depiction of the attack on actual scientific illustrations of GRBs.

Boros vs Garou is like comparing King Piccolo to Frieza

Ah ok thanks

If someone actually calculates the attack power of the GBE itself as 5-A of High 5-A, then we can talk. Right now, you're making hypotheticals.
That strongly depends on the method as well.

No, because, unlike Boros vs Garou, King Piccolo doesn't beat FriezaBoros vs Garou is like comparing King Piccolo to Frieza
