I like how God attempted to give power to these two unlike a certain someone that leads to his own death.

people forget that ONE confirmed that Boros rejected god’s deal when he was on his deathbed and then the arm Saitama punched off reincarnated into Boris and was recovered by Blast

Tatsumaki's changes.
Lets start this talking about espers' weakness mentioned by Gale Wind. As mentioned by the latter, an esper's weakness is basically his/her reaction speed. And we have discussed already about the possibility of Tatsumaki having ''passive shields'' so she wouldn't just get blitzed by any faster...

You know, now that I am looking back at some events, it was never a gurantee that Saitama is absolutely untouchable even before Monster Association arc.
I was looking for the translation of this cover and I noticed something interesting. It seems it abruptly cuts off after saying "The Strongest", not revealing whom it talks about. It sharply contrasts previous covers where it clearly says Saitama is the strongest and essentially foreshadows God's strength even before Garou's power up.
And going back to look at the old interviews, rather than saying Saitama is this invincible guy who will never lose, ONE has always just talked about how he is much stronger than the people he is pitted against. In one interview, he compares Saitama to a level 9999 player in the playfield of level 200s while in another one he says Saitama is a hero who has finished his journey. It is very common for the final villain of a series to be as strong as the hero, if not stronger.
Even disregarding all of the above, the reason for Saitama's strength was already shown in the chapter "The Limiter". His power can be played for comedic purposes at times but there was still an explanation for how he had gotten so strong. Reducing it all to nothing more than a mere gag would be spitting at Saitama's character and hard work. So even though it was very reasonable to think he would have no one in his league, there was always a sliver of possiblity that someone like that would show up.
What do you guys think about this?

Bro has caught up with what I've been saying for the past 3 years.You know, now that I am looking back at some events, it was never a gurantee that Saitama is absolutely untouchable even before Monster Association arc.

This is from the official OPM website, when you translate it it pretty much confirms that Boros would have finished humanity had Saitama not been there.

If the link doesn't work you can always look it up for yourself

Wait, it also says Gouketsu is the strongest member of the monster association. That is contradicted by the season 2 databook.
- 8,997
- 9,718
This seems to be for the anime anyway, so I don't think it's usable for manga scaling
- 1,984
- 1,235
Yeah that's silly if you ask me, but whatever.
- 13,903
- 5,404
I mean, he is, Orochi is the leader so he wouldn’t really count as a member, and considering Gouketsu himself said Orochi is the strongest I doubt that he was included there regardless
Anyways I’ll take this as more proof that Boros folds Tatsumaki, even though we all already knew that
- 1,984
- 1,235
Well, since Rover exists, I believe otherwise. Orohci implied Rover > Gouketsu during his encounter with Saitama, and the S2 databook says Gouketsu is not the strongest cadre so...
Of course. And I believe I've also found something interesting on a non anime only website so that won't be denied.Anyways I’ll take this as more proof that Boros folds Tatsumaki, even though we all already knew that

This website is mobile only but is official and says Boros forced Saitama to use Serious Punch. That would make CSRC way stronger than Tats and any form of Garou before SP2. It's not that far fetched that Boros reached Star level with his final attack.
Edit: I know I should say this in the Boros thread but I thought you guys would welcome the new information.

I’m just hoping we can find out how to push Boros’ speed ratings a little further, since they currently are the most downplayed part about him on the site scaling wise
- 2,500
- 2,102
Well, he melts his ship with sheer speed in anime and this is the same ship that withstood interstellar travel with no problem. MFTL+ Boros.
On a more serious note, I guess you can try to scale him to Saitama's speed against Geryuganshoop
- 13,903
- 5,404
We do that already
It’s more so the goofy hh+ rating
In an ideal world, released Boros would be rated no slower than atomic samurai or flashy flash. I’m hoping there’s an upgrade somewhere that’s not involving the weird Geryuganshoop possibly rating shenanigans

we all know that this is blatantly false and purely hyperbole.
saitama literally stopped a multicontinental/moon level (we all know that gaia cannon is not multicontinental and once anime is here it’ll automatically get upgraded) attack with a squirt gun and destroyed jupiter with a sneeze.
he just wanted to show respect to boros.
after all, he was the greatest fight he had back then.
- 13,903
- 5,404
csrc in the anime is literally 5-B, how is Gaia cannon relevant?
- 4,788
- 1,112
you have a point. When Rover ran from Saitama, Orochi automatically associated him to the one that defeated Gouketsu and Elder centipede. And i’ll be honest, Rover is one of my favorite cadres, i dont like the idea of upscaling to him characters without even screentime
- 4,788
- 1,112
Gaia cannon is not a last resort attack….
- 13,903
- 5,404
- 13,903
- 5,404
And it’s vastly weaker than csrc
what’s the point of mentioning it
- 4,788
- 1,112
careful to not get b@nned, babe.Shut that ass up
Bro thinks he’s the grinch
if that happens my power is nerfed by half

This could never happen to me tbh
Unfortunately for you….anime Boros scales to Blast.
