That's dumb, with your logic, we can highball Boros to 4-C.

The anime campus guide actually has 4-C instead of 5-B, but High 6-Q made way more sense in context

That's silly, that's nothing to base 4-C on.

The anime is a separate canon.

Most of our translation including the main source material establish the CSRC as a High 6-A attack. Most of raw translations refer to CSRC as High 6-aa
We are not going with 5-B CSRC

But according to you, Boros could just be easily done playing himself, so he's probably 3-A

Herms, vib, and official sources translate it to planet but you guys translate it to surface and it's not even up for debate?
- 7,314
- 3,738
I think you're confused as that's not the logic I used.

The anime compus chose to turn a kanji that can mean several things but chose star, when that doesn't match with the original context or the proper Japanese sentence. So just because it's official doesn't mean it's 100 percent right
And again, Manga > The Databook. The Databook is there to provide additional informationinformation, not out main source
- 7,314
- 3,738
The compus is only canon to the anime. There's nothing really contradicting star but we're not talking about that rn.
Manga is > Databook but the attack never landed, the databook is showing additional information showing its stronger than he thought it was.

I kinda agree with this ngl.

No, it’s not lmao, the thread I linked literally goes over the databook page you’re talking about and came to the conclusion of it being planet surface destruction and not entire planet destruction.
- 7,314
- 3,738
The thread is 3 years old, which is why I think we should revisit it with the new information.
- 11,134
- 14,116
What new information? Aren't you using the same databook? Did anything change in the canon source?
- 7,314
- 3,738
Same one technically, but another source of credibility. Is every case on this site open and shut permanently or something?

I'll go over why we ended up keeping it at High 6A rather than 5B when I get home.

My databook is the same as Quan's. It also says their battle makes the stars tremble.
- 20,529
- 17,433
The databook in Japanese used hoshi, which means reflective celestial body. A better translation would be that they made the planet tremble. Unless you assume they're randomly 4-B or 4-A now.

Kep's post on that thread is just straight forward, we gotta move on from this particular discussion
That's like a Low 6-B feat right ? Doesn't matter that much for Saitama, but it could be a good addition to Boros' as a support feat
- 1,984

Boros doing it on the sky could yield higher results I guess?

It would have been fun if they came up with unique Baki/Kenichi/Hokuto no ken techniques for these martial arts, but i admit it sucks we never truly see Garou use these martial arts by themselves at least once (Specially pressure point killer fist, since it seems like something out of hokuto no ken).
Garou does use pressure points, but as far as i know they are related to WSRSF, or at least are never alluded to be a unique technique from anything else.
I hope that they make him start cycling between all those martial arts when Garou fully goes all out against an opponent he can't beat during the Saitama fight, like, showering him with pressure point strikes, spamming multiple martial art amps and after images, using secret chi manipulation techniques, grappling moves, that sort of stuff.
If we got some "Garou Gaiden" manga of his dojo hunt and saw the masters who taught him these martial arts and his fights with them it would also be a fine way of showcasing the martial arts.

Probably.
The CSRC in the written works
On a normal read through of the manga and webcomic you'll come across two similar but different translations of the same speech; Manga / Webcomic
So why is that? Does the source material have different dialogue? The answer is no: Manga / Webcomic
In both sources Boros says:
The important bits are two fold
- もろとも
- 星の表面
- もろとも means "together with" or "together". In other words Boros is clarifying that his energy attack will destroy both Saitama (貴様) and the Earth
- 星. If you type this symbol in most sources they'll say that this means star, but that isn't really true. It means heavenly body or reflective celestial body. Most of the time IRL its only used for a star, but in fiction its regularly used as a generic term for a planet. For example Frieza calls Namek "星" and Vegeta calls Earth "星", because to them its just a generic planet
- の is a indication of a possession. As in his car, their dog, or your skin
- 表面 means surface or exterior
The Databook
In the off chance you're not familiar here's the databook page in Japanese. The raw text is this
- それは地球を破滅させる消魂の一撃だった
- 破滅させる
In other words, the kanji means destroy but in the sense of "Global Warming will destroy the Earth" rather than "The Death Star can destroy the Earth". The words are the same in both sentences, but the meaning of destroy is different. Global Warming is incapable of actually destroying the Earth, it will just damage the surface of the planet or cause great harm to it. The Death Star can physically just blow it up.
Destroy is a proper translation. Its just destroy in the figurative sense of the word, not the literal sense.

Hmmm I get that it can be translated in multiple ways, and I understand now there's no changing how this site views Csrc. However, is it really fair to say that surface is the only correct translation Qawsed?
- 7,314
- 3,738
Which part? I didn't read the whole page.
- 20,529
- 17,433
For the manga/webcomic there's no other way to translate it other than surface wiping. The Boros explicitly mentions just the planet's surface.
- 7,314
- 3,738
I was referring to the databook. I know he says surface. But all I can do now is respect everyone's opinion and wait until one releases at statement or something similar.
- 24,975
- 26,821
The raw Databook also translates to surface busting. And I doubt ONE is going to suddenly reason Boris from High 6-S to 5-B just for the sake of it
- 6,590
- 3,421
A new guide or Databook is always possible, Naruto had like 4, but not only we need something new, we also need a new statement for it, so I wouldn't raise my expectations
High 6-A is a far more interesting Tier, at least

I don't think we're a getting a new Databook soon, or at least not in the next few years

I just hope the next databook buffs phoenixman.

Please, anything but that, they already make the S Class and the Dragons look like a bunch of fools and that's not a good thing
If I could pick one, it would be a small speed upgrade for some of the S Class, like Bang and Atomic Samurai
