STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

wtf i stopped getting notifications so i was wondering why none of yall were talking about the new WC chapter lol

We were, have u seen the above?

man OPM is becoming more and more generic tbh

?

 

[Qawsedf234]

Where's that stated, by the way?

I think they're thinking of this statement from the Volume 15 bonus chapter, where it was stated that Vaccine Man was the strongest monster recorded up to that point. But in-universe Vaccine Man was like a year or six months ago. I forget which.

 

[ByAsura]

I know that now.

Six months is the timeline of the apocalypse thing, IIRC. I think it's supposed to be pretty close to that point in the webcomic, which is not too far after the whole MHA thing.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Actually wait, it would be longer. Whenever King became a pro hero is when Vaccine Man happened. Which was a year or two before Genos skipped to S-Class

 

[ByAsura]

Really, a year or two? Where does that come from?

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Really, a year or two?

I think so. Afaik, Saitama started his hero training at 20, and only broke his limiter at 23. And considering Saitama becomes upset after vaccine man easily dies, that implies Saitama had only broken his limiter not too long ago, where as the current Saitama doesn't really care

 

[LordTracer]

Sorry, I haven’t been paying much attention. Are we scaling Elder Centipede above Vaccine Man?

I dunno tbh. Some people are

 

[Qawsedf234]

Afaik, Saitama started his hero training at 20, and only broke his limiter at 23.

Saitama got bald after the first year of training. We know from Chapter 16 that King got skipped to S-Class two years before Genos.

The current timeline is that Vaccine Man happened shortly after Saitama lost his hair roughly two years before Genos joined the HA.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

aitama got bald after the first year of training. We know from Chapter 16 that King got skipped to S-Class two years before Genos.

I thought he broke the limiter only when he became bald? Which was after 3 years of training

 

[Qawsedf234]

I thought he broke the limiter only when he became bald

From my memory every timeline we're given implies him losing his hair occurs before his three year regiment was up. It's just a weird byproduct, like Garou fusing with his clothes.

 

[Kin201]

I think so. Afaik, Saitama started his hero training at 20

Saitama started his training when he was 22 actually. And according to the scan Qaw posted above, he became bald when he was 23.

Ah I see

 

[ByAsura]

King was actually known for a while before "defeating" Vaccine Man. But that could also be before the certificate was sent.

There's some stuff I'll check on.

The links don't seem to work for me.

 

[ByAsura]

They seem to stop working for everyone except me after some time.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Also why are we doing this again?

 

[ByAsura]

Interest, I suppose.

 

[Qawsedf234]

The links don't seem to work for me

I know they'll work on an incognito browser. I thinks it's something to do with refresh rates or cookies that will error a link.

 

[Quangotjokes]

Do you guys think webcomic Genos can finally defeat Carnage Kabuto?

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Webcomic Genos is like 8-A...

 

[ImposingTiger]

Do you guys think webcomic Genos can finally defeat Carnage Kabuto?

People on reddit were saying Genos stomps with absolutely no proof.

 

[Kin201]

Well, I agree with them. Current WC Genos stomps in my opinion. His current amour is stated by Kuseno to be a ''secret weapon'', which should make him scale massively above his previous form, which was capable of soloing 3 Machine Gods, which were presumably at least comparable to Mirror, at the exact same time.

Edit: He also defeated MGB which already absorbed the power of the other two destroyed MGs and still had 9% energy left.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I think via scaling, current Genos is around the same level as Carnage Kabuto?

If we use webcomic scaling, Genos shitstomps

 

[Kin201]

Well. At least there's a very high chance that he will beat webcomic CK, if not stomp him. We can't compare webcomic CK to his manga counterpart.

 

[ImposingTiger]

To clarify, I am not separating manga and WC, just assuming the things in the WC will be adapted the same way in the manga in the future.

Just being a bit stronger than low dragons doesn't make you that level, because the gap between characters in OPM is absurdly big in terms of strength.

A more fair question would be: prove CK can't do what current Genos did. If we follow the manga, war arc Genos got destroyed by BS clones, damaged by Gums (who was one shot by Bang)... Gums being much weaker than Vomited Fuhrer Ugly, who could match Darkshine in AP.

Darkshine needed to go full power in order to beat CK for 15 minutes, implying they were comparable in attack potency but the hero won thanks to his durability.

I know Genos got some upgrades after that arc, but with the first one he struggled to beat a bunch of demon level monsters, and with this last one he finally defeated unknown dragon level monsters, who were probably as strong as Machine God Mirror (because the time in which they appeared was days close and The Organization needs time to improve their weaponery). MGM got some damage from Suiko, who is A class level, so we can assume they are low dragons.

There is no actual way to scale Genos that high unless I'm missing something.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Uh the scaling chain is this:

Half monster Garou < Darkshine's AP = AM CK

Half monster Garou < Atomic Samurai <= Black Sperm => weakened Genos.

I'm pretty sure Geno's is around the same level

 

[ImposingTiger]

Half monster Garou < Atomic Samurai <= Black Sperm => weakened Genos.

I don't think you can make that comparison because BS varies in strength and AS fights with a sword. BS damaging AS doesn't mean he can tanks AS's slashes.

We do not know if Genos' duarbility actualy goes down when he has little energy. Plus, it's an assumption saying that the BS clone that damaged AS was as strong as the one which ripped Genos' arm off.

 

[Quangotjokes]

I don't think the dragons Genos fought were low dragons. It was stated that his enemies were getting stronger chapters ago and referenced again in this chapter. But wow I didn't know we considered Webcomic Genos 8-A

 

[Tetsucabrah]

Webcomic Genos should be Low 7-B based on the Fubuki feat.
If you think Fubuki is 10,000x stronger than a Genos that just beat 3 dragons you’re just plain ******* narratively wrong and don’t even deserve to have your argument acknowledged.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

What Low 7-B Fubuki feat? The 8-A Geno's is literally the only calculated feat I Can find

 

[Qawsedf234]

What Low 7-B Fubuki feat?

She made a Shindo scale 5 earthquake or something in the webcomic.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Calc?

 

[Qawsedf234]

Its not a calc, its just converting Shindo scale to Richter or Mercalli to get a number.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I don't remember such a feat, linking the scan would be nice

 

[Eden_Warlock99]

I don't remember such a feat, linking the scan would be nice

Spoiler: feat

 

[Qawsedf234]

Here's her old page with it

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

This is kinda hilarious considering Tatsumaki's best feat is around unquantifiably above 7-B

 

[BlackeJan]

Did a new chapter come out?

 

[Kachon123]

Did a new chapter come out?

New Webcomic chapter did.
