Well, in that case, do a revision. Although this topic was discussed without you with other people who used the same arguments. However, the lifting was still accepted. But you can try.

Send link to those arguments because as far as I've seen nobody really argued much.
It was mostly just Ziller and others asserting their head canon that this was a push. Which isn't true. And also things like Therefir's comment above which also isn't true.

You really tried to pull a fast one dawgTherefir is wrong because in the anime Boros still kicks Saitama afterwards which unleashes his energy blasting him to space. This is done via AP.
the screenshot you posted doesn’t show shit except Boros lifting Saitama with his leg, he didn’t use an energy blast on him at all
you’re completely hallucinating rn

You mean kicking Saitama with his leg?
I can't believe how hard you are trying to defend this.
It's blatantly a kick and he blatantly does do one of his energy releases like every one of his Meteoric Burst attacks.
That's the whole reason it creates an energy beam and a massive explosion.

This is objectively wrong
it shows Boros, who was already making contact with saitama, lifting his leg.
This isn’t even a me trying to squeeze out Boros upgrades thing, this is you looking at an orange and calling it purple. Boros in the manga flies at saitama at a horizontal angle, and while already touching him, lifts him up. Because he was already making contact with Saitama, it is physically impossible that he had the ability to do a strike instead of a lift
ignoring the fact that the anime EXPLICITLY SHOWS BOROS LIFTING SAITAMA AFTER AN UNRELATED INITIAL STRIKE, the order of events in the manga literally makes it impossible for it to be a striking feat.
And nice try at a gotcha moment, but even if you’re going for semantics, windup doesn’t necessarily imply strike, unless you’re saying winding up a throw for a baseball is a striking feat too
I am perfectly allowed to be cocky right now, because this is something that was agreed even by skeptics to not be a real issue. It’s not that it was overlooked in previous discussion, it’s just that most people are aware that it’s not a valid counterargument.
This just never happened
how do I prove to you that oranges aren’t purple, when I show you the color orange and you call it purple. Boros struck saitama, which didn’t move him, and then he threw him into the air with LS using a SECOND kick. Just watch the scene man, I know I’ve seen it a thousand times.

It shows a kick.
There is no possible way you think that's a lift, be genuine, Ziller.
The way Saitama flies has nothing to do with anything.
Also, there's not an objective way you can even prove he was kicked horizontally as in both the anime and pre-redraw, it is very clear that he kicked upwards actually. And the angle in the redraw is uncertain, but his leg clearly goes all the way up signifying he kicked Saitama upwards so idek what this argument is about lol.
Even if it was a horizontal kick, it's still an impact of striking strength and energy AP. The way he flies has nothing to do with LS. If this is one of your biggest points, that's depressing.
He lifts Saitama for a second and then kicks him upwards with his meteoric burst energy, doing the thing where he kicks all the way up.
The anime makes it very clear he is kicking and sending Saitama vertically btw.

check your facts bro
Anyways let me indulge in your headcanon a bit. Did you know that a leaf blower has LS? In fact, even a pistol has LS. If you were to hypothetically just stick your finger right into the barrel, the pistol would need to lift your finger in order to fire a bullet
if you’re just saying Boros fired an energy bullet there (he did not) then at best, your argument is still no less wrong than it was before. Like it or not, he was already making contact with Saitama, so there would be no momentum regardless
and let’s say for the sake of the argument, that it isn’t true, that Boros’ energy can’t scale. Still not true, because meteoric burst Boros propels his body using the exact same energy that you claim he launched saitama with, so anything his energy can do, he can do, because it’s his energy that’s propelling his leg in the first place
so basically, your argument is layered hax (is bad on 3 levels)

Incredible counterargument, but no
I could tell it was a lift back when I was like 13 watching the OPM anime for the first time, it never even crossed my mind that it could just be a strike, given how obvious the animation was
and the manga redraw only further cements that fact. From now on though, please don’t respond to actual arguments with “it’s a kick though, there’s no way it couldn’t be…”
It’s a lift though bro, there’s no possible way you think it could be a kick, be genuine Phoenks.

Ziller he's drawn as moving his leg very quickly (Murata's motion blur sketchy artstyle is shown here) and we even see the impact explosion a bit (Similar to the ones shown in the image you posted of Boros' barrage).
This is not a lift.
Ziller note that I actually wasn't responding to an "actual argument" there.
The snip I responded to was this:
"it shows Boros, who was already making contact with saitama, lifting his leg."
This was a claim you made. I made the claim that it isn't him lifting his leg. It is Boros kicking, as shown above. I don't know how anyone could mistake such an obvious strike as anything but a kick.
Wdym, he still has the momentum from kicking Saitama after he made contact.
Also, we know that Boros can manipulate and project energy, which we clearly see him do here as well.
He creates and explosion and an upwards beam that blasts Saitama away. This is clearly projected from his kicking impact with Saitama.
Mhm, he can propel Saitama with his energy, this is true. And yeah, he scales to his own energy.
But, so what? That isn't lifting strength, that's AP.
Isn't it convenient how when I actually debunk one of your "Actual arguments" you resort to this?
Why not actually dissect my claim if it's untrue?
In the anime here, as posted above, he is clearly striking Saitama upwards.

I’ll get to the rest later, but just going to put one of your misconceptions to rest now
the light beam from the kick is literally just a trajectory trail, no different from when flashy flash Garou and PSperm were jumping around
this is what Boros’ actual energy blasts look like
No resmblance

The scan that I showed isn't the same, and it's the one used in the official volume releaseThis is not a lift.

Boros discussion rule only applies to trying to scale him above stuff (like orochi) even though nobody cared about it after like the first 2 weeks
but Boros discussion thread is simply superior anyways so I don’t mind moving

why can’t we talk about OPM’s characters in a opm thread? Shall we create a separated thread for each character then? Boros is one of the main things that keep this thread alive, lol

The fact is the same in both scans.
In fact in the one you sent it's even more clearly depicted as a strike.

My mistake.
But yeah, move the discussion elsewhere anyway. Preferably (on Phoenks' part, not yours) even a CRT if it goes that far.

With all due respect I'm not obligated to move a discussion about Boros away from a discussion thread about OPM.
I can have a civil discussion here.
I mainly came here first to see what the arguments for him scaling to LS even were in the first place.

Crazy how in the first few words it says it's a kick.
Also isn't this straight up admitting that it's an energy projection?
Guys, you are disproving your own arguments.
- 4,807

no, the energy/heat manipulation was an excuse (at least on this website) to say that boros could defeat much stronger opponents with just the heat of his punchs, which isnt true.

Eh, Class G is still a nice rating, anyway. A lot better than his previous Unknown rating, at the very least
