Let us split the argument one by one, if it takes shibai 3.3NS to think and it takes saitama 55NS to reach him, which of them would complete their move first?
Oh, my bad, it's 3.3 ns shorter, but turning a thought into action also takes a certain amount of time. Can you prove that the programming language will execute in less than 55 ns? You can't prove it because we don't know how this event works in Shibai or how quickly it works. In this case, since it doesn't depend on the speed of thought, it's inevitable that he will be crushed by Saitama.
 
Be it the dots or the heads, in either case Saitama's AD was picking up the pace and overtaking Garou's. So I think the logic is that in his final burst of AD he lapped him while he was still following the same growth route.
what do you mean by "lapped him while he was still following the same growth route"?
 
@ReusedOil
Anyway, if their positions not being in sync is what's bugging you, then what about all of the previous points that can be found before and after the selected snapshots? They don't line up either. Every last one of those points is meant to represent the last peak and so is the next and the next. Some arbitrary ones in the snapshot show them traveling alongside each other, and some don't like the notorious last one. In the first one just as Garou experiences one, Saitama laps him. The final one is Saitama dominating across both axis, since his were starting to happen too quickly.

The growth route is the trajectory of his line and the "lapped" is a racing term that can be used in place of "overtake". Like crossing the same distance twice over in similar time despite Garou trying his best to maintain an even playing field.

Erm the panel in this should be read from right to left? Right?
<---------------

Saitama's dot with the red X is where his head(the one crossed out with blue) is supposed to be at the right-side graph, after time has passed.

where saitama's head is where his next dot is placed, while garou's head is in the middle of moving to reach the same level of saitama's dot. The next graph always shows saitama's head to be the exact placement of his dot. So on and so forth

No.

The points on the line mark the end of the last growth and the beginning of the next one, not the previous time we saw their heads. There is no way to tell that even if we wanted to. The graph implies two states. Them moving during a growth and before one. And the trajectories even in those examples look differently drawn. Saitama's head looks off by a few pixels in the left snapshot. It's not as evenly aligned as in the right snapshot. The diagonal tilt changes with the speed of their growths, it's not fixed.

Why was this crossed out dot ignored? (See original image.)
It makes for a better match to that one snapshot you keep coming back to.

You skipped over it.

Here's me lining up the previous graphs to the last one. They fit. Down to where in the grid they are placed:

Count the grids. Garou's dot on Numb.1 is inside the first line of grids. Numb2. It's on the 2nd line. The 3rd graph shows both descriptions.

That's all kinds of confusing and doesn't help communicate your point. I know how to read Japanese manga, I assure you. I can follow the order of events just fine. I am asking why you're looking over a dot and insisting the other two dots must be the correct ones? The snapshots are not giving you all of the relevant information, they come with their own distinct inconsistencies as well as skips. Some of the dots near the beginning of this graph were already brushed aside in favor of the latter ones.

About 3 on Saitama's side and 2 on Garou's side.

OK so I'm confused. What do you mean by "why you're looking over a dot and insisting the other two dots must be the correct ones?"

I just took the numb.1,2 graphs images and aligned it to the last graph. I didn't even tilt it or anything, just made sure to match the size of the grid. Saitama's heads matched his dots while garou's doesn't. The last graph showed the placement of the previous graph's dots?

What am I insisting, when the grids and placements all match up?

You're overlooking the way they're going in favor of the heads. And the grid is too unreliable at helping us figure it out.

Retrace the steps. They both have more dots than what is shown in the previous 3 snapshots. We only really see the bigger picture in the final snapshot. With this final snapshot we can not only see the ones that were ignored the first time due to their insignificance, but also the ones that were outright skipped. One of the ones you skipped comes after a different one you're hyperfixated on. The Garou head you marked as blue should be unmarked and swapped out with the horizontal dot we do see beside it. And the heads that come after is just them moving until they reach the next growth burst that's represented by another dot.

There's no consistent evidence that the dots/points in the snapshot are the precise visible head positions.

Sigh.

Did the void in space during the Serious Punch² collision occur before Blast and his allies teleported half of the energy to another dimension, or was it caused by the remaining energy after the teleportation?

I think this void in space is the result of the remaining energy (which is even less than half, you can figure that out yourselves).

ln this case, the energy teleported to another place by Blast should also be taken into account for Saitama and Garou's AP, and a new calculation might be necessary

They didn't teleport it to another dimension. Blast teleported it to space (couldn't teleport to a higher distance because of the energy being so high). With the help of the team, They redirected the energy.

It was the full energy of the clash.

The reason I find it a fascinating thing to bring up is the potential of a theoretical energy dispersion and weakening of the shockwave. But for that we would need to learn more about how those gates work. Was that hold he performed the same as a black hole type hyperspace gate? The shockwave appeared to be confined in something we don't get a clear view of.

I think this void wasn’t entirely caused by the energy of the collision. It felt like there was an accumulation of energy there, and just as it was about to explode, Blast took it away. I'm sure we would have seen an explosion effect, and if it were solely the result of all that energy, I’m certain the destruction in space would have been much greater.
 
Serious Punch^2 would have been an omnidirectional explosion that would have destroyed the earth. Blast and the Blastvengers verbatim just changed the vector of said explosion to a radial blast that was aimed away from our solar system. Said radial Blast of energy caused the void in space, wich is why it's sphere shaped and focused on an specific area.

I don't think anybody has an issue with that explanation. It's pretty much agreed upon. The part that's not as clear is what happened during the energy's brief confinement not upon release. That's probably what's being asked. And I for one don't think we'll ever get an answer, it's just fun to entertain the idea.

What I'm curious about is, what was the explosion effect we saw actually from?

Safest to go with what we have the most information for. Another shockwave from a serious punch except this time it actually connected to something else with enough force to resist it, which explains why it looks different from his air based shockwaves we've seen prior.

You know what I think we need is another person to weigh on this because I sincerely don't see what you're describing

Can someone share their opinion on this?
 
Oh, my bad, it's 3.3 ns shorter, but turning a thought into action also takes a certain amount of time. Can you prove that the programming language will execute in less than 55 ns? You can't prove it because we don't know how this event works in Shibai or how quickly it works. In this case, since it doesn't depend on the speed of thought, it's inevitable that he will be crushed by Saitama.
There is no action here. t's a thought based ability, it depends on thought. WHat in the copium is this?

Let me shorten it for you. The dots/points on the lines are not necessarily their last seen positions in the snapshots. The snapshot positions of their heads are likely random. It's purely coincidence that they line up. In the final one we see Garou is still in his fifth growth, while Saitama has already initiated his sixth.

The rate of growth changes with the next dot/point on the line.

Edit: He doesn't understand what I meant by coincidence. Or maybe even what a coincidence is due to the framing of his question... The sunk-cost fallacy is starting to become a reality.

The dots are the times Garou copied Serious Saitama, starting from the Serious Punch Squared, following by the end of I.O. chapter and then the dots we see when the graph is described for the first time, just count them up.

If they line up, why is it a coincidence?

What contradicting evidence is there to make it invalid?

Can anyone help weigh in on this? Does anyone else agree that even if they line up, it doesn't mean anything?

The manga chooses to highlight the moments they're neck and neck, there's no pattern beyond that. You could very well interpret Garou as an inferior Saitama because he's being copied. A good analogy would be the last moments before contestants in a race cross the finish line. The scene lingers on the two of them being even before one overtakes the other.

If I'm wrong on this, that's fine. I just don't see what validates the pattern you're focused on. Anybody else see what he's getting at? I gone over some possibilities already, but none of them were satisfactory and I'm running out of steam for this topic.

Edit: Check the bottom paragraph below the image in my reply to Tayman.

Man there is absolutely nothing you can get from the graph. If there was, they would show it extremely clearly.
Fr. I think he's putting too much weight on the brief moments their positions aligned. I don't see any deeper meaning either and I've been trying my best to communicate that. Saitama's -whatever you wanna call them- were changing from Garou's because Garou's copy ability can only go so far.

The vertical axis is tracking growth and the horizontal axis is tracking time. At some point we see Saitama and Garou were not aligned at all, with Saitama falling behind, before Saitama's explodes, completely lapping Garou's in the process just to then continue exploding once more thereby leaving Garou in the dust. Saitama's line tilting up more and more as it progresses is supposed to help indicate that. He's gaining more, in far less time, so it doesn't make sense for them to be parallel to each other anymore.

Here are all of instances of the graph in one image, I counted and labeled each of those points of interest (The ones that we can see anyway):
oLogBj1.jpeg

The first time we see them, they're near the 4 range afaict.

Edit: Okay. I thought of a different way to explain it.

Every time Garou catches up, Saitama's growth rate changes making it so Garou is still beneath Saitama. Those moments where they're "aligned" vertically ARE that. And you can tell that's what's going on because it's quickly followed up by another change on Garou's line. It's the delay between the previous rate he maintained and the next copy. It gives off the illusion that they're synced in some way. Also the 4 on Saitama's line and the 3 on Garou's line looking perfectly even wouldn't look as even if we compared the zoomed out and zoomed in versions. (Though you didn't understand it last time.) The blog maker I linked before stated the boxes are slightly different, so why wouldn't the rest share such inconsistencies? They're clearly not drawn 1:1.

You did not understand what I mean. There is an action process here a transition from thought to an attack or whatever it is, which involves a process. In other words, the programming language will have an initiation and execution time. Shibai might be able to complete this instantly in thought, but the execution of the programming language itself will not happen instantly.

It does happen instantly. That's the point of thought based ability. But even if it's activation speed scales to shibai speed , we've already established shibai can do 15 different things before saitama gets to him
 

Pull up if you really bout it

Man, it doesn’t happen instantly, I already explained this. Just because it’s a thought based ability doesn’t mean the activation speed is the same as the thought speed. I can give a very simple example, Eida. She desired something, and her ability activated afterward, but it didn’t happen the moment she desired it because there was a time for the ability to activate. If you can’t find a panel or evidence showing that Shibai’s ability happens instantly, whatever you say will remain as speculation, it’s that simple. Additionally, if you can’t support your claim that it "happens instantly" for physical results, the 15 different things Shibai is supposed to do would also be delayed.

What exactly is the issue here? It's not so hard to comprehend. Activation refers to combat speed. You yourself made sure to establish that in the 50m it takes for saitama to reach shibai, shibai can perform 15 different actions. Choose the time frame out od the 15 you want to be for activation time. Stop the copium please and rest

ln 50m, we said Shibai can think 15 times, but we said translating those thoughts into actions will take time. Even the slightest delay will result in being blitzed. Against an opponent coming at you with 3-5x range while you are at 1x combat speed, you cannot activate any attack or ability in time, and you will get blitzed. Is it really that hard to understand? I’m not the one copium here bro, the person who needs to stop copium is you.

you're confusing can with would. He would just think once and the remaining 14 time frames are for the activation. In simpler terms shibai can think and activate 7 different times

Look, lil guy, in your repeated comment, you’re linking the speed of the ability’s manifestation to the speed of thought. Damn it, how many more times do I have to explain this? When Shibai thinks once, 3.3 ns will have already passed, and during the remaining time frame, you’re literally saying that every ability of Shibai’s will happen in 3.3 ns. I already stated that this won’t happen. Show me proof that Shibai’s ability can activate in less than 55 ns, bro. You can’t show it because no such proof exists.

You cannot restrain 3C punches with anything other than a programming language, and even that doesn’t activate in less than 55 ns. You’d be erased anyway. This will be my last comment on this matter because you’re making me repeat the same things over and over again. I’ve started to feel like a schizophrenic because of you. If you can’t meet me at a common point, you can leave here. No one is forcing you to stay. The only thing you do is repeatedly bring up a baseless claim, and even though I’ve answered/explained it 10 times, you still don’t understand. As long as you don’t want to understand, you won’t.
