STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Let’s keep going guys. The Garou > Boros mentality is not going to end this chapter.

 

[AtomicSekiro]

Only on his death bed did he just blatantly give out a lie.
Why would this account for the entire fight?
It shouldn’t and doesn’t.

Saitama was lying the entire fight… by not reducing Boros to a blood splatter in 0.00000000001 seconds.

Where's the bed

It does. The point of the panel is to show Saitama was purposely holding back the entire fight, which is pretty obvious considering he could’ve insta-killed Boros the moment he saw him.

 

[JustANormalPerson01]

guys, new garou's feat should be scaled to his casual strenght or only ''up to low 5b with (insert attack's name here)?
I wonder if he could do as much dmg as that casually hmmm

Casual strength I think.

 

[Andytrenom]

It's not a casual feat but I don't think there's any implications this technique is tiers above his normal strength

 

[Coomandar]

atleast opm is stronger than naruto verse now

 

[Andytrenom]

if boros end up scaling to garou i'll kill myself no jk

Don't make comments like this please

 

[Coomandar]

''likely low5-b up to low5-b+ with techinc''?

 

[Ovrhide]

The whole “almost a real fight” is always taken into such an extreme that it loses any value.

“Almost”. That the key word here. If I almost won the lottery, even if by one number, I still ******* lost. The fight was not a real fight, it was “almost” a real fight. Saitama turned Boros to ketchup with consecutive punches, and killed him with a shock wave when he decided to let a serious punch out.

if I were to kill someone by aiming my punch at them from dozens of feet away, It was a no diff fight.

 

[Coomandar]

Don't make comments like this please

my bad

 

[Magmag]

''likely low5-b up to low5-b+ with techinc''?

Nah, I think it would be just up to low 5-B.

 

[AtomicSekiro]

The universe where Saitama lies to Boros and let’s him have fun: THE CANON.

The universe where Saitama wants Boros dead: As soon as the “””””fight””””” begins Boros is a puddle on the ground before he can even register what happens. Assuming he can even heal from that, Saitama is standing over him and repeatedly slapping him like a man kneading dough until he’s literally reduced from atoms and deleted from existence one by one. Saitama then pawns the ship off on Pawn Stars for $15 and a weeks worth of soup.

 

[Andytrenom]

Stop. Understand what's a joke in good taste, it's not that hard

 

[Lugh_Tuathe_Dé]

Stop. Understand what's a joke in good taste, it's not that hard

Well then i apologize and now delete the comment

 

[Coomandar]

guys, do you think that garou has an adaptability limit or just a limit on how fast he can adapt to someone?

 

[Lugh_Tuathe_Dé]

Probably the just the limit on how fast he can adapt to someone

 

[Coomandar]

that would be more accurate since he would amost died to silver fang instead of overwelming him and now he's low-5b

 

[Coomandar]

starbuster garou at the end of the series.

 

[Dienomite22]

guys, do you think that garou has an adaptability limit or just a limit on how fast he can adapt to someone?

Webcomic Garou had a weakness kinda like that. Manga Garou has low willpower and resolve as a weakness for his evolution.

 

[Epiccheev]

I think the main limit is his psychological strength, as soon as he starts giving up and doubting himself his ability to evolve starts failing.

 

[Coomandar]

that makes sense aswell, i would like this to be oficially explained.

 

[Magmag]

Manga Garou:
Stats: increase
Skills: increase
Powers: increase
Intelligence: increase
Mental limit: caps

 

[Dienomite22]

Manga Garou: “Strength, speed and martial arts won’t work!!! How about creativity”
Does the move he did last chapter except harder

Very creative Garou

 

[DTG499]

Yea, overall the webcomic still did it better. The fight scenes and the art were pretty great and a definite improvement over the webcomic, but story-wise, Garou got massively downgraded. The biggest problem I had with the manga version was said by Garou himself:

""To destroy the abominable fist that has turned against God!" I thought he was talking about me. But it must've been about this guy!" Garou feels more like a side-character in this arc than the main antagonist. This entire arc feels like it's been focused on "God" when it should've been focused on Garou, with minimal mentioning towards God. And the fact that Garou suddenly gives up so easily? Like "I had a feeling somewhere deep inside that this all wouldn't work out?" That seems totally OOC for Garou to say. Like webcomic Garou was still adamant on fighting even after he was clearly running on fumes, and Saitama himself had to point it out. Here, Garou just throws his hands up and admits defeat in only a few chapters.

Too early to judge. It’s not finished yet

 

[Coomandar]

garou will start using watchdog's style agaisn't saitama

 

[DTG499]

We don’t know how the next chapter will go. It’s very open ended

 

[Coomandar]

i really want a tatsumaki-blast interaction....

 

[TimmyTurnero]

Saitama was lying the entire fight… by not reducing Boros to a blood splatter in 0.00000000001 seconds.

That literally, in no way, suggest that his statements made on Boros were a lie. Literally some false narrative you guys are trying to create.

It does. The point of the panel is to show Saitama was purposely holding back the entire fight, which is pretty obvious considering he could’ve insta-killed Boros the moment he saw him.

Yeah, im aware of it, but this literally doesn’t invalidate all of Saitama’s statements on Boros or his inner monologue about Boros being a real fight.
I don’t see the conclusion any of you are reaching.

The whole “almost a real fight” is always taken into such an extreme that it loses any value.

“Almost”. That the key word here. If I almost won the lottery, even if by one number, I still ******* lost. The fight was not a real fight, it was “almost” a real fight. Saitama turned Boros to ketchup with consecutive punches, and killed him with a shock wave when he decided to let a serious punch out.

if I were to kill someone by aiming my punch at them from dozens of feet away, It was a no diff fight.

He’s literally saying Boros is approaching/ has a level of power that can almost give him a real fight.
Almost, meaning near or just not quite. It’s right there.
That alone boosts Boros against ANYONE Saitama has fought as none of them has let out a level of power great enough for someone to make that sort of comment. And again, if Saitama was to meet someone even stronger than Boros he would let off some comment letting this be known.

 

[DTG499]

Saitama’s statements are too vague. Too many implications we can get from it.

The facts are that Garou has faster speed feats and stronger AP feats than boros.

 

[DTG499]

We also have this on saitama’s page.

“Refrain from trying to scale anyone else from Saitama’s attacks, as he is the verse’s god tier and the results of his attacks can be inconsistent.”

This door swings both ways. We can only go off of the character’s individual feats.

 

[Andytrenom]

That would downgrade non CSRC Boros too. Not that I have a problem with it

 

[Dienomite22]

If someone were to tell me from a year ago that Garou’s iconic “Your case if emergency just happened” line and moment was going to be given haphazardly to Fubuki in the manga, I would’ve laughed.

 

[Dienomite22]

Something I’ve been saying but no one wants to hear that.

 

[DTG499]

Something I’ve been saying but no one wants to hear that.

The orochi scaling is just support for boros damaging his ship.

Seriously, I've been baffled at the consistent attempts to create a scale based on Saitama making side comments and remarks, treating them like gospel and ironclad, empirical declarations of scale and power

 

[DTG499]

Also as a supporting point, Blast didn’t bother to take notice of Boros when he invaded earth. But the results of Saitama and Garou’s fight made him take notice.

This could mean a lot of things but it serves as good supporting when in the context of OPM’s power creep and the feats themselves being better.

 

[Tural2004]

Seeing the amount of discussions about Boros' scaling to Orochi I think we should just make it a "possibly" rating and be done with it. Btw I think Saitama's statement about Boros being the strongest opponent he has faced can create another scaling to Orochi since it is stated that Saitama has already defeated threats comparable to MA

 

[Dienomite22]

The orochi scaling is just support for boros damaging his ship.

It shouldn’t be there going by our rules. Taking out the Orochi support shouldn’t cause Boros to drop a tier since its only a support for the tier and not the reason for it.
