STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Any evidence that he can just manipulate a lot of parameters around him to do that? They typically have to have some sort of specific reason for us to accept that logic.

As for consistent showings, there really aren’t any.

Databook, they follow his vision.

 

[ByAsura]

Which only shows they’re guided lasers. It isn’t enough evidence for the (arbitrary) criteria.

If he could, say, manipulate space or air molecules, that’d be more than enough.

 

[Quangotjokes]

Since they bend based on his reaction wouldn't that make G4 rel in reaction? Consistent with Genos dodging if we do accept this?

 

[ByAsura]

It just follows enemies based on its field of vision. So, unless someone can move enormous distances in that time, it wouldn’t need to.

Also, Genos was comparable, and he either had extreme trouble dodging or couldn’t dodge at all.

 

[USklaverei]

Yes, Genos had a lot of trouble avoiding the lasers and only did that when he was at a great distance.

So, I think this should be something, since we saw that that is light, there's no way to say that it's energy (without being light, of course), since that was literally undone by steam

 

[ByAsura]

For some reason, we value contradictory evidence over supporting evidence (I say supporting evidence, but it’s closer to proof).

 

[Tural2004]

Isn't G-4 crazy advanced by real life standarts? It doesn't seem far fetched to say that it can manipulate light like that

 

[USklaverei]

Yes, in this case we should see each case, since in this one there is an apparent ''reason'' for him to bow.

 

[Tinodesu]

They bend.

IIRC, they cause explosions as well, but I may be misremembering.

why should we focus too much on that when we can accept characters that move more than the speed of light are part of fiction, shouldn't we also consider laser that bend as part of fiction?

 

[AtomicSekiro]

Real light lasers or not, Genos shouldn’t scale to them. That’s just weird. Atomic Samurai can scale though, its clear he’s supposed to be a pretty damn fast swordsman.

Obviously not, but he reacted to some and the feats generate from MHS+/Sub-Rel, no big deal

 

[AtomicSekiro]

Genos never reacted to lasers. He was just staying ahead of G4’s targeting.

Atomic's feat is calculated at 12c while Genos' feat is 0.29c IIRC. It is over 40 times difference so it isn't that weird

 

[USklaverei]

In case you are blind yes, but he reacted several times

 

[AtomicSekiro]

In case you are blind yes, but he reacted several times

That’s not showing reaction. That’s showing Genos looking at some sustained lasers after they’ve already passed him, and he dodged by being faster than G4’s aiming time.

In other words, aim dodging.

 

[USklaverei]

It's not because you just want to ignore it, but that's not my problem anymore, there's even him dodging and getting out of range and on the next page, we have G4 shooting and him walking out of the building.

 

[LordTracer]

I’ve been thinking about adding new images and quotes to Genos’ page, what do y’all think?

LordTracer/Genos Tabbers

vsbattles.fandom.com

Is everyone fine with me adding this to Genos’ page?

 

[CiscoTheSoto]

Is everyone fine with me adding this to Genos’ page?

That looks awesome. I've been wondering for a while why more images of Genos weren't added to his profile despite his numerous upgrades and changes in appearance.

 

[Kachon123]

Is everyone fine with me adding this to Genos’ page?

It looks good.

 

[Epiccheev]

Yes, Looks good

 

[Magmag]

So what’s the conclusion of G5, his lasers meet every category. The only thing against it is it’s connected with G4 but that shouldn’t be viable.

Should be the same laser tbh. Both had the same energy signal.

 

[USklaverei]

**** that lasers are called light, have done refraction and even come from a technological source capable of creating projection.

 

[Magmag]

Should be the same laser tbh. Both had the same energy signal.

G5 should be an upgrade if anything so this light that follows every single qualification qualifies.

 

[Quangotjokes]

Yeah I was just saying the tech should be similar.

 

[Magmag]

Yeah I was just saying the tech should be similar.

Oh ok ok I see.

 

[Dienomite22]

Can someone fill me on where the idea that Saitama had no killing intent and didn't actually try against AG and therefore Boros would beat AG without difficulty comes from?

 

[ImposingTiger]

He saw him as a guy with a costume I guess.

Saitama doesn't kill humans, idk where you heard the second part though.

No I meant that Boros would no diff lol I've never heard anyone say that.

 

[Dienomite22]

I get the dichotomy of the entire situation but the root of the issue is that Saitama never tried against either Boros or AG nor had killing intent against either.

 

[Dienomite22]

You'll see that a lot anywhere in any comment section/thread/page/site involving the two, besides here.

Yeah ik, I quoted the wrong person…

 

[Nehz_XZX]

I wouldn't be entirely sure about him having no killing intent against Boros but he did hold back significantly to the point Boros picked up on it.

 

[Magmag]

I wouldn't be entirely sure about him having no killing intent against Boros but he did hold back significantly to the point Boros picked up on it.

I mean I don’t think he had killing intent there. He just wanted to satisfy Boros and put him out of his misery imo. Saitama’s only shown gaggy killing intent where he’s late to the story and pissed.

 

[Quangotjokes]

I'm sure he took the fight more seriously after he jumped back from the moon, he was testing to see how far he could go and put in more effort.

 

[Nehz_XZX]

I'm pretty sure that the first punch he threw against Boros was intended to kill him and only failed because Boros was a lot more durable than Saitama anticipated. I can accept Saitama just wanting to satisfy Boros and put him out of his misery afterwards though. That being said, Boros was still a threat against the people of Earth and Saitama treated him accordingly.
