STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Although tbf part of me feels DSK should be the strongest Demon, just purely due to how cool of a villain he was and how much of an impact he had (narratively speaking of course) in comparison to most other Monster's. Hell, while he may not have been some really good and thought out antagonist with great writing, I liked DSK's character a lot. That mix of calm and collected, pretty much sociopathic nature, fused with the primal, animalistic savage deep down made a really cool and menacing character.

And his design was also decent and suited him well.
 
I honestly don't know why the anime decided to make him Dragon level. Iirc, it was only confirmed in the anime, which, while mostly the same as the manga in Season 2, has some minor dialogue changes. Bakuzan was always thought to be a Mid or High Demon, which I think is where he should've stayed.

Bakuzan would have fit much better in high demon, it doesn't even feel right to put him at the peak of demon level. If we say Suiryu and HH Garou are comparable, then he could fit right in a high demon without it seeming egregious, but having him at low dragon... just feels wrong. Evil Eye, Bug God and HEO never got that treatment even when they have so much more to back it up.

I don't think it's a stretch to say he was definitely the one monster that was actually terryfying, up until fuhrer ugly I guess. But I feel like Fuhrer doesn't have same amount of hype or build up that makes him anywhere as terrifying as DSK.

Funny how DSK is a far scarier monster than Garou ever was lol

I mean DSK is the only monster who's had his whole arc dedicated to him and him alone and Garou isn't even a traditional antagonist, he gives off anti-villain energy from the moment we first see him.

Kinda wish they did this more tbh

It was generally a good idea, that arc caused growth for Genos, it showed us the type of guy mumen truly is, it had lot's of setting up to make DSK really solidify that he's a monster rather than a bad guy and made a character people liked alot. They could make another arc like that where it explores some other character as well as adding development to them and just end it with a high tier S class hero dealing with it or something.
 
I was worried that cadres would be just generic strong obstacles for the heroes to face, but I'm glad they're making more like actual legitimate characters rather than cardboard cutouts.
 
Gouketsu could be mistaken. The threat level isn't given by the author but by him and he says "I bet" so my headcanon is that Gouketsu was mistaken about Bakuzan's rating.
 
Seeing as Gouketsu is intelligent, experienced, and skilled, but also overconfident, him saying that Bakuzan is a Dragon, specifically adding that he is within the same threat level as Gouketsu, I doubt he was overestimating him or just saying it to encourage Bakuzan, especially seeing as Gouketsu makes it a point to completely shatter his ego the moment Bakuzan steps out of line.
 
What makes Bakuzan the most disappointing dragon for me is that he pretty much only gets anti-feats/stomped.
Completely fodderized by gouketsu, somehow gets his thumb broken by a broken Suiryu that couldn't even stand up and had high diffed a demon while in a much better condition, and then gets one-shot by Saitama before performing any feat.
 
Now that I think about it, maybe yeah, seems weird how while crippled, Suiryu managed to break his toe, and isn't even consistently shown to be around the level of Bakuzan.

I guess downgrade Suiryu to Low 7-C lmao.
 
I don't think it's an outlier but ok. You can always find a way to explain the series without contradicting what you see happening. If you can't, then it's an outlier. It's easier saying that Bakuzan isn't a dragon than pretending the broken toe feat didn't happen.
 
It could be not an outlier but I think the feat of breaking Bakuzan's toe is a bit overrated. It is also weird to me that previously Suiryu could tank a consecutive punches from an angry Bakuzan while heavily injured, and he could get up and even walk. But he then got both of his legs broken immediately by a casual and nonchalant Bakuzan with only two blows, which led me to think that it was an outlier or PIS.

That seems like a hell of a stretch tbh
 
As stated, Suiryu is consistently shown below Bakuzan. It's contradictory that he could hurt bakuzan while in heavily injured when he fought on par with Choze, who is weaker than Bakuzan.
 
If we assume Bakuzan is baseline dragon, and that a severely damaged Suiryu harming him is not an outlier, then he would downscale slightly from Suiryu who would downscale from Bakuzan, making him a demon who isn't that far from baseline dragon.
Needless to say, this scaling worked much better when Choze still had a 7-B feat.
