Yeah, he is affected, but telekinesis can't affect Saitama like anything else. He is naturally "too heavy" to be moved by a Class P-E force even when he is simply standing still and not making any use of his LS
So yeah, it’s a huge understatement to say they’d just struggle against him when they’d have almost no chance of winning even with prep.
Well yes, struggle is an appropriate term to me.
“If the three generals under Boros work together against Orochi...Let me think...If they plan it properly they could have a very minimal chance of winning, almost next to nothing. After all, it's still unsure if Tatsumaki can beat Orochi.”
So here's the thing with TK.
You do realize that, when Murata made that statement, Tatsumaki‘s best feat was like 6-C or Low 6-B, right? And Orochi at that time was High 6-C, so it makes perfect sense.
Worst part is that's unironically better than just having resistance to TK, since now both characters who use TK and Physical strength will have trouble moving him even if he doesn't resist actively. (And will also lead to better results in KE feats involving him )
The Webcomic makes it clearer when she shoves him that she's just using air to blast him backwards since direct TK gets nullified. I'm guessing that's what is happening in the Manga as well.
Fixed
Yes, and?
It’s not unreliable in the slightest. It works perfectly when you actually look at the context.
Well yes he was far stronger in his eyes, but he also didn’t know if tatsumaki was stronger than Ororchi at the time which is what matters
Yea
Well the description of his resistance can be expanded on now
I guess this can be a "greater resistance" since Tatsumaki was serious and literally trying her absolute hardest to do anything to him. That or just an expansion of it I suppose.
Yeah but he would basically resist TK crush and BFR
He said that all together, with their best possible plan made in advance, they'd still have almost no chance of winning.
I am very well aware
Source: Murata himself
Like the exact same stream where he makes the quote about Geryganshoop he right after says that nothing he states is official canon and is just his opinions.
We already have, which is why anything that comes from Murata is only considered for a possibly rating.
Good. That "Fubuki besto girl" statement can kiss goodbye
technically speaking, Murata's statements are often no more valid than if I were to say right now that [REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED], isn't that the case?
I don’t think anyone takes it to face value considering it was made before the redraws and the new Tatsu feats.
It’s no different than what happened in the webcomic. We all know why it didn’t work, but since it’s not stated in the manga we’re gonna choose to ignore it and try and give him some resistance.
Or maybe, just maybe, there’s no difference in what’s happening here?
Yeah Tatsumaki didn't have the little Chi explanation in the manga I believe. It could be a plot point in the future given how many times Chi and latent energy are brought up.
I'm 99% sure that Saitama should have that resistance
