I think we all would like that. It'd be cool if he destroyed Mars or something

Yeah it's toxic, but it wouldn't kill you if you were around for 5-10 minutes, assuming you don't die of exposure. It probably wouldn't give any kind of resistance.
But... you have to consider that Garou and Saitama would have to cross several 100 million km of space to get there, they'd realistically get radiation resistance from being in a vacuum for any considerable period of time. I know we discussed Saitama having minor radiation resistance based on his trip to the moon, but I guess it was too short to worth putting it on his profile?

I literally thought about him doing something like that.
Elon Musk and SpaceX be like:

yep. but a lot of the people on this thread are like 15 year old children. which means they were born in like 2006 so they were like three in 2009 aka babies. i was in the military in 2009

Wouldn't they just leave the casual and serious?

what?... i dont get what you're trying to say. what do you mean "leave the casual and serious"

they really don't need it since in serious and casual both can vary, he can have the sharp and detailed murata style in casual and have the quirky simple ONE style in serious.

Because that would contradict the entire point of Garou's arc? Him wanting to be the strongest monster? Him simply being faster would be bullshit

Garou’s arc is hypocritical in the first place because he talks about ”going to kill that unsightly kid” and acting like he’s actually going to, but Saitama points out he isn’t even walking in the right direction. His whole arc is hypocritical. Cool? Yes. Hypocritical?? Also yes. He’s a “monster”, the monster that protects humans, stops bullies, helps a child and kills other monsters but leaves humans alive.
He can be the “strongest monster” by being more skilled and faster, but being weaker in pure destructive power. That’s been his ENTIRE STHICK since day one; Tank Top Master spelled it out for everyone in his hospital bed.

He clearly also starts to grow in destructive power as well tho?? He starts beating monsters and characters who previously crushed him. Like Royal ripper and Dark shine, who claims his duration as being indestructible, and garou made him bleed, hurt and afraid. In the case of OPM, skill isn't everything to get you to the top. He even starts to break his limiter like Saitama does, no other character has done that other than maybe boros, but that's never stated at all (one could argue he's just a prodigy)
- 4,526

He destroyed Darkshine purely because of skill and technique.
Royal Ripper got blitzed by speed.
So I stand corrected.
Breaking your limiter also has nothing to do with strength, but how your body reacts to continuous strain and near death experience to “evolve”.

Darkshine was unharmed by someone like bang who could easily crush garou previously. I don't see how "skill" is the only factor in harming darkshine when we know bang did nothing to him. Garou clearly grow in sheer power as well
- 4,406

it definitely was

Garou's latest forms in the WC are totally focused on power, so ... unless the manga changes that, it may be that he made interesting power.

Derailing a bit from the powerscaling aspect, that's always fascinated me: hypocritical characters. Some are executed well, like in the case of Garou, but others are executed poorly, mainly when they aren't meant to be hypocritical, but end up being that way (looking at you, Naruto).
One of the things I find fascinating about hypocritical characters is that it's real, whether executed poorly or badly. Some people are blatantly hypocrites, finding loopholes and doing mental gymnastics in order to justify their hypocrisy (e.g. Garou), and some people can be completely oblivious to their hypocrisy, saying one thing and doing another without even being conscious that they're doing it (e.g. EVERY time Naruto mentions hard work and determination, but relies on the Nine Tails, something that he was granted with at birth and took no work to attain).
So yeah, hypocritical characters. Alright, do continue.

what?? thats the most ridiculous thing i've heard all day. darkshine literally says that garou was growing in strength. not to mention he tanked two superalloy bazookas. his durability increased like crazy as well

Garou's raw power is very high. Yeah skill is a major part of his kit and mainly what he relies on, showed when he started getting dominated by Saitama after he switched to raw destructive force over precise and masterful skill, but that doesn't in any way mean he lacks strength.

Yeah, can't stress enough how good Garou is. OPM has especially good writing after the season 1 section of the series, with the DSK arc giving a glimpse of how good ONE can be. But I think it goes without question that Garou is, by a wide margin, the best thing in OPM so far. Although some might disagree with me on that.
Although, about Naruto, I don't know about that. Naruto actually got pretty strong in Part 1 alone through hard work and determination alone. I do wish he relied on the Nine-Tails a bit less than he did, but Naruto does actually out a lot of effort into getting stronger, and it's shown time and time again throughout the series. As for his powers literally being centered around the Nine-Tails, the thing with that is that it could be said that their friendship is even a byproduct of Naruto's determination, anyways. And thus I would still say that's fine.

If you're responding to me, I literally said it's a major part of his kit and what he relies on, but also that he doesn't lack power.
Edit: And furthermore, he would've died if he DID lack power anyways. Skill and speed weren't completely carrying him. I don't know why you're saying that Garou only has and only needs one thing, but not the other. He has extremely high strength, which greatly compliments his insanely high speed and skill.
- 26,436
- 30,767
I know that, but the point is that Garou does grow stronger too. And if he didn't grow stronger in order to overcome darkshine's dura, he wouldn't have defeated him. Strength is also an important factor

Hot take: While season 1 is better overall, I find season 2 to be better narrative wise
- 7,199
- 7,581
Is that a hot take? I feel like everyone agrees on that.
- 26,436
- 30,767
Nah, seen a lot of people disagree with that, but that's apparently for the anime stuff.

Only thing I've seen is people complaining that it lost what made OPM an entertaining show. Which was the adventures of Saitama and Genos, as well as Saitama one shotting Monster's being the main comedic aspect of OPM. Which I wholeheartedly disagree with.
For one, it'd be boring as hell if the series just kept the same theme forever. Two, it'd be a waste of the potential this series has to just ignore the world around Saitama and Genos, focusing only on those two characters the whole time. ONE deciding to take a more serious and outward approach to it after season 1 was undoubtedly the best choice.

I like how OPM starts out small, and the world just kinda grows bigger when we meet people like Genos
