You guys think we'll get another databook?

Hopefully. Tho the data book only seem come out when the anime does. And I don't think they'll do a databook when the current monster arc isn't done yet

I think we'll get one after the arc is finished or the season 3 of the anime comes out.

I also think the reason there's no news on the anime is because they're waiting for the monster arc to unfold and finish.

Which goddamn, this arc has been going on since like 2018 I think

 

[Ourosboros]

There's no way this can be one season. This arc is at least two seasons long, three if they did it proportionally

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I'm guessing the third season ends at Orochi fighting Saitama, then season 4 is after up to Saitama vs awakened Garou.

I'm pretty sure they'd end the season with a Saitama fight

 

[Lightning_XXI]

I really don't doubt AG ends up being weaker than Tatsumaki and Psychorochi, at least via feats. We know the intention (At least I guess so) is AG being the strongest monster but writers can think that feats like "Shaking the Planet", "Kicking someone to the Moon", and stuff like that are more impressive than lifting a chunk of the Earth, after all they don't calc the feats. For example I'm sure people see Psykos feat being more impressive than Saitama's Cloud Split, when math says otherwise

But in the end I think it's unlikely, and AG is going to be stupidly OP, I actually hope Golden S already shows something close to the girls

 

[Quangotjokes]

I dont think AG will have super big feats, I think GS will and he'll beat him lol but time will tell.

 

[Quangotjokes]

But there will prob be space battles with saitama

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

If we don't get tier 5, we riot

 

[Quangotjokes]

If we do or get super close can we use the databook to support it? Lol

 

[ImposingTiger]

I am in favour of scaling AG to Released Boros or Boros to AG if the manga doesn't contradict it.

 

[Quangotjokes]

I think we should scale it regardless of what happens.

 

[Lightning_XXI]

It can also happen the other way around, and Garou pull a 5-C feat and people try to scale it to Boros

I believe this discussion was already done, but yeah, I'm also against scaling them

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

I mean if Garou goes to tier 5, there's no way we should scale him to Boros lol. Why in God's earth would Boros scale to something that is higher than High 6-A

 

[Phoenks]

Nothing at all should scale to Boros at this point and time in the series regardless of what tier it is.

 

[Epiccheev]

Scale Boros to Saitama for that "He took damage" panel.

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

Scale Boros to Saitama because Saitama called him: "Almost a real fight"

 

[ImposingTiger]

Scale Boros to Saitama because Saitama called him: "Almost a real fight"

Why is that a joke? I find it as a good piece of evidence.

 

[Lightning_XXI]

That depends on how people see Saitama

Some of them just see him as "Tier 0" in his verse, others see him as actually a likely Tier 5 in a world of Tier 7s and some 6s

That is what makes this quote interesting, for the first type of people, it's Saitama mocking Boros, for the second group, it's actually Saitama saying Boros is almost there but not quite enough to give him a fight

 

[Kachon123]

Why is that a joke? I find it as a good piece of evidence.

"Almost like a real fight" doesn't mean anything. When he said that he was obviously speaking about the fact that he was surprised about being on the moon. It was the most exciting "fight" he had. In the end, Saitama still one shot boros, so no. We can't use it

 

[Epiccheev]

The only times i've seen someone use that "Almost a real fight" quote for something vsbattle related was to try and limit Saitama to being above yet not that much from Boros. I don't think i've ever seem it being used to try and downscale Boros from Saitama.

 

[ByAsura]

It's actually worse in at least the english translations of the webcomic. Saitama says he's "maybe" the most powerful opponent he's ever fought.

 

[Quangotjokes]

Why wouldn't Boros upscale when he's supposed to be stronger than Garou physically?

 

[Kachon123]

Because that's the webcomic, not manga.

 

[Quangotjokes]

One stated they were equal in reference to the manga as well. So I dont see the issue.

 

[Kachon123]

Can you show me when he mentioned the manga?

 

[LordTracer]

No, he didn’t. Murata claimed that ONE told him Garou and Boros were supposed to be equal, and that was several years ago.

 

[MonkeyOfLife]

I solo this verse

 

[Quangotjokes]

No, he didn’t. Murata claimed that ONE told him Garou and Boros were supposed to be equal, and that was several years ago.

Doesn't matter how long ago it was, he said he had to also draw it on the same scale because of it. So manga Garou and Boros should be comparable.

 

[LordTracer]

Yes, it 100% does matter. Statements can become outdated, or were you not aware that was a thing that could happen?

 

[Lightning_XXI]

Being from years ago doesn't matter if it isn't contradicted, that's what I saw in several discussions in other verses. However, I remember One having statements before that were discarted due to feats, like Mob = Tatsumaki for example

 

[Quangotjokes]

Tbh, without the scaling were prob gonna end up with mountain to island level Garou. Enjoy.

 

[LordTracer]

If Garou’s feats only put him there (which I doubt immensely), then oh well. If he doesn’t display anything (whether by his own feats or scaling to other characters in the arc) that puts him in the upper echelon of Tier 6, it’s basically wank to say he’s 6-A just because Murata said that ONE told Garou and Boros were supposed to be equal.

 

[Quangotjokes]

It's not wank when one said they were equal. Narratively equal. We'll likely get some type of call back to Boros during the arc to support it as well.

 

[LordTracer]

ONE said they were equal when he was talking about the webcomic. We don’t do narrative scaling here, that’s never been a thing.

 

[Lightning_XXI]

Well if Garou ends up at 6-C or something, it's only one more argument for "the quote is outdated/contradicted", since in the end, they didn't tried to make them look like equal

 

[Quangotjokes]

Murata said his opinion on the fight hasn't changed. Iirc this was only a few years ago.

 

[Ourosboros]

Murata said that the scale of this fight would be bigger than the Boros fight, which makes sense. If we get High 6-A Psykorochi and then 6-C Garou I'm going to die

 

[Quangotjokes]

I dont see how murata is gonna top it lol given how the fight went down in the webcomic but I guess we'll have to wait and see

Simple. Just have Saitama table flip the continent slice to Mars with Garou on it, they fight on Mars, Garou shatters the planet into a hundred pieces at some point and they come back to earth

Actually, what if something major does happen on earth but then Blast reverses the damage done
