STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Ok i just got a brainblast. Either its the sleep deprivation making me go crazy or i just realized something big

like yeah if we assume its perception based, wherein he decides to copy. But unless its a continous stream, the power is still instantly applied on his person right?

Then wouldn't it mean that when the graph is showing the rise of said power, those lines going up should also be in the same timeframe of instant?

Unless each increment on those lines is garou copying?

No. Garou sees, understands, copies. that's how it works. it's not instant. Garou is always a step behind, that step gets further more and more because it grows exponentially

Trust me, you won't get anything from there.

i get you. Garou sees, understands, copies. But what is being shown in the graph? After garou copies, how does he obtain the amp? Is it instant or a continous stream that takes time to fully integrate to his body?

Becase Garou continously observes and applies it. He doesn't just copy once, wait a little and do it again. He's continously doing it.

So the amps apply instantly on his body? Like for each increment of the line, garou is copying?

Dunno, probably. At the very least, i don't think we saw a moment where garou needs time to apply it? he observes it and then he does it. nothing complicated

...so if the amps apply instantly on garou... wouldn't the same go for saitama?

The timeframe then only accounts for the interval for each time garou is able to observe

But if the amps; which the lines signify, are instant, why does saitama match garou's? Ya know, saitama's line, the power that apparently is instantly applied on saitama without having to account for his perception?

Each increment has garou observing, while each increment for saitama is instant.

Am i making sense here?

Ima just drop an idea here: there was a point in the fight between garou and saitama that the latter started holding back.

Garou said it himself, he somehow is falling behind. Saitama's growth is exponential, and for each copy, the growth rate increased the entire time garou's face met saitama's fist.

...in that timeframe, how much was the gap between garou and saitama? In each copy and subsequent exponential increase, for anyone who believes its higher than a 7x amp, why then does garou still survive a punch despite increasingly being hurt by it?

Because saitama started holding back. Not immediately. Maybe saitama noticed right around when the panels showed the graph.

Garou can only copy it once he sees it and has no way of sensing unspent energy. He would have no way of knowing how much power saitama is actually exerting compared to his full strength

...Until the sneeze, an involuntary action that causes one's muscles to exert at their full potential.

Theres a reason why he is so scared. Saitama spent more effort sneezing, than he would have killing him

Different verses treat quantitative gaps in strength differently.

Garou has survived gaps in verse before that by our standards would be like thousands or even millions of times.

Being "7x" stronger in certain verses doesn't automatically mean the other person gets stomped.

Saitama wasn't holding back until the sneeze at the very end of the fight.

Well ofc only the Officially accepted calculations

@Ped2018
Is that acceptable or nah

Yeah

no. sleep and come back.

Yeah unless its not only a 7x gap. Garou is getting hurt by increasingly stronger attacks that increases in power exponentially. It didn't matter at a certain point if garou copied him, the gap is always an exponentially increasing higher number.

Is it really THAT unreasonable to assume that instead of garou surviving an attack from a person with an exponentially increasing higher power disparity, Saitama instead at a certain point started holding back?

My interpretation doesnt really contradict anything and even gives a good explanation for garou's reaction to the sneeze, giving it a deeper meaning.

 

[ReusedOil]

no. sleep and come back.

Youre saying that Garou's copy amps his stats instantly.

How about saitama's exponential growth? Does it immediately apply on his body? The rise from 9th to the 13th grid for example, its reading saitama's stats as it instantly jumping to that level of power right? Or is does it take a bit to fully integrate with his body, making the line rise as time passes by?

How much can time pass if the lines that are reading their stats, are apparently increased instantly?
