Probably in the next arc/mini-arc. Arc's for OPM tend to be rather small, like the Deep See King "arc" or the Dark Matter Pirates "Arc").
Tbh I wouldn't say he got clowned on. He was mostly trying to focus on protecting the Earth. That isn't to say he had a chance at beating Garou, I think Blast easily loses, mid-diff on Garou's end. But he put up a decent enough fight and kept up with a laidback Garou, which is a pretty damn good feat of its own.

So basically Child (Wild) Emperor meltdown was him faking to have an excuse to join the Neo Heroes and gain their trust.
His actual plan is infiltrating the Neo Heroes to figure out what their schemes are and he is working alongside Sitch and Sekingar, Metal Bat will be joining them as well acting as Sekingar's bodyguard while pretending to be a Neo Hero. This makes this reddit post completely correct, honestly I'm impressed.
Aside from that; The court made Garou get a job to reform and King's gag is the same as in the webcomic so far.
And the last page is Saitama's daily sit ups routine which confirms that ONE statement where he says he continues his training to this day

Honestly the beam itself should be faster. The beam acts like knife that cut through the portion of Earth is the actual MHS. The reason is the Beam is already on the the other side before Psykos moved it in MHS low balled human time reaction on the calc.

I'm making a CRT right now to address this.Bruh what the hell is with the speed ratings
90% of the characters are like MHS+, even though the calc is just MHS

Bro quit making excuses for blast garou literally said blast wasn’t worth his time he got clowned on
- 13,903

If Blast went all out from the very moment of the fight he probably could have knocked out Garou and beat him to death, but he presumably wasn’t trying to kill him
he and his crew arguably downscale from 4-A too, so had the whole squad participated more in the battle, Garou may have even lost without saitama being there

Since hero association equipment is made by bofoi, wouldn’t that mean that with prep he should be able to produce high 6-A durability such as metal bat’s weapon?

So just read the new chapter. Interesting the way they've changed the plot for the upcoming Neo Heroes by painting them as untrustworthy from the beginning rather than building up to this. As for Garou's moments... I'm still rather on the fence. I feel there still wasn't enough build-up to get to Garou being treated like a misbehaving rascal. It's funny to see Garou working as a bus-boy after everything he did, but it still feels like a total 180 on his character. It should've taken a lot longer to get to this point, the way the webcomic has done a better job spacing out Garou's arc, but ONE and Murata sacrificed drama for comedy, and this is the price. Anybody agree?
- 13,903

I also had a crt that successfully went through saying that he should have all of child emperor’s technology with prep

I think it might be fair to say that Saitama can increase his dura just by getting serious
considering he got scratched by consecutive normal punches and possibly even bled from it, but then proceeded to take this from a post sp^2 garou...
which includes roaring aura sky ripping fist, something that is stronger than what bang and bomb's individual powers together could normally achieve, whirlwind iron cutting fist, which negates durability, and exploding heart release fist, which provides momentary amps to make each individual punch even stronger
in other words a combination that is by all accounts far stronger than even the serious punch that he used to clash against Saitama was unable to scratch him, even though he took some minimal amount of damage from a consecutive normal punches level cosmic garou when he was non serious
so what do we do with this information. Do we say it's an outlier that he damaged saitama? Well, there's a little more basis for it being a bit more than that.
it's not much, it's barely anything really, but it does use language as if "serious" is some kind of a literal form or mode rather than just purely saitama using more effort
so maybe, just maybe
Saitama has off guard goku syndrome
just to a far lesser extent obviously, but these 2 things combined do mean that it is without a doubt a possibility
and it might also clear up the fact that saitama can be holding back a lot even while "serious", if serious was just a name and not actually him being more directly serious
here's something else
gamma ray burst lowkey had saitama knocked out for a few seconds
there's also the fact that saitama seemingly has other characteristics that can be lowered when casual
obviously strength can be consciously affected, but...
here's webcomic Garou LITERALLY BLITZING Saitama
so yeah

In the fourth OVA, Bang heavily implies that being off-guard lowers your durability well.I think it might be fair to say that Saitama can increase his dura just by getting serious

"I think it might be fair to say that Saitama can increase his dura just by getting serious"
Probably.
"considering he got scratched by consecutive normal punches and possibly even bled from it, but then proceeded to take this from a post sp^2 garou..."
Scratched? Edit: Oh you mean the whole translation thing, forgot about that. Well, I agree, but have fun getting other people on that boat.

Debatable. It's arguable that Garou doesn't permanently keep the strength he obtains from Saitama and can only access it in Saitama Mode. But the matter of durability (on Garou's part) makes it questionable.
"so what do we do with this information. Do we say it's an outlier that he damaged saitama? Well, there's a little more basis for it being a bit more than that."
Before the discussion of outliers can happen, you first need everyone to agree that Saitama took any form of damage from Garou at any point.
Good luck.

Considering that concepts like Chi, aura's, and energy (including Saitama's "immeasurable energy" that didn't scare Chados, The Dominator of the Universe, one bit
) are very much a thing, it's not really a stretch to say that this idea could be introduced in the future. I like this form of the "Increased Durability" theory, but obviously not enough for any real argumentation. But yeah at a basic level, the simple idea that his durability increases in Serious Mode isn't a crazy thing to believe."gamma ray burst lowkey had saitama knocked out for a few seconds"
Probably but no confirmation. Still a widely controversial topic when brought up. I agree with it personally because there is literally no explanation for why Saitama had not only taken at least several minutes to get back to Garou, but the idea that he was just blown far away (which questions his travel speed) is kind of squashed by the fact that he was explicitly very close to where Garou was when Future Saitama punched him, just underneath some rubble. So unless we literally think Saitama was having a mental battle with his schizophrenic demons underneath the rubble for 3 minutes straight, there is literally no way he was having trouble getting back to where Garou and the others were, let alone the few seconds it should have taken for him to just get out of the rubble, unless he was blatantly unable to do anything for a brief time period. It makes absolutely no sense.
"there's also the fact that saitama seemingly has other characteristics that can be lowered when casual"
Well tbf that's par for the course. Strength and speed aren't going to be as high level if you're not focused (or "serious" rather) in just real life. Durability can technically be in the same boat to, as tensing up your body is going to make it tougher in the area wherein it has been made tense, but not to this extent obviously.
"here's webcomic Garou LITERALLY BLITZING Saitama"
Saitama immediately punches Garou in the next panel, same amount of effort as before, which Garou didn't react to. So it's more likely that Saitama just didn't move his eyes in accordance because "Why not". Otherwise it could be easily argued that Sonic blitzed Saitama too.

Lil' bro this was a whole thing when the chapter came out how you don't know this. Saitama said something or other about how he promised not to get scratched to Tareo while looking down at his clothing, implying that he failed in that promise. But other translations worded it differently, and a common explanation was that Saitama means he intended to not look like he was roughed up, in a sense, and failed, because it looks like he had a difficult fight and was threatened if his clothes are torn up and he has a bunch scuff marks, but he didn't want Tareo to be concerned about him, so he intended to come out of the fight in tip-top shape.
Considering that Saitama was more concerned with his clothes than the fact that someone actually hurt him (this was before Garou killed Genos so there's no reason Saitama shouldn't be excited), it makes sense that Saitama wasn't referring to taking damage.
- 13,903
- 5,405
Alright a few things
1. I’m pretty sure viz translations just very blatantly change things and really can’t be used
2. Saitama was referring to the moment where he said “don’t worry, I won’t get hurt” implying he was referring to taking damage rather than being visibly scratched
3. He was worried about his clothes when hit by the initial nuclear fission attacks, but when Garou came at him with consecutive normal punches (which clearly increased his AP as a result) that’s when he says the line, meaning he wasn’t referring to his clothes.
It’s very clear that Saitama got scratched here in any case, and as you yourself know, the gamma ray burst incapacitated him for way too long even though just getting knocked away and just neglecting to come back shouldn’t be the problem, considering he jumped from the damn moon to get back to a fight in like a few seconds.
So yeah, He took damage

I already agreed with Garou hurting Saitama. My point is that you need to convince other people of this because it's gonna be hard doing so. People hate it when someone even suggests that Saitama isn't invincible.
