Hold up, do you know something I don't? Murata's been on a two week schedule for a while now, did he say he was going to do some redraws now?

I think people are hyping Bomb's performance waaaaay too much. Yeah he didn't get one shotted, but he still got low diffed. Bomb managed to somewhat keep up and trade some blows, but ultimately it did no damage and Garou overpowered Bomb pretty easily. Its almost the exact opposite of when Garou fought Bang/Bomb. Garou managed to trade some blows, but did no damage and got low diffed. I've already seen some outrageous claims like: Rover, EC, Bang and Bomb low diff DS or Spiral Garou is only mid Dragon.

Nah, it's just that Darkshine's got much higher durability

Yeah they're obviously not on par, but they are comparable even in a pure physical sense.

Yes, it's hard to see, but if you look closely you can actually see the bones in his fingers.

oof That's painful to look at.

I'm pretty sure this chapter took more than two weeks to be released.

Jesus Christ you can really see how Murata is stepping up the dark themes in OPM. They've been there, but not nearly to this degree. Current arc legit has gore and (human) death.

I'm half convinced Garou is only semi-conscious here, it's weird how he's growling. His feral behaviour is like the exact opposite of AG, who is arguably the best-spoken monster there is. I know it could just be a manga difference but I feel like there's something to that...
Yeah and that stuff will happen, it's just new chapter syndrome as usual. Many people thought Darkshine (myself included) might have been near above dragon until now, these chapter's contents point in the opposite direction. One nice thing for Darkshine fans is that FU seemingly took the atomic slash with nothing more than superficial scratches and Atomic's blade melted much more readily than Darkshine's body.

In that case then late June or very early July.
- 4,384

Two weeks again most likely, like the last 4-5 chapters I'd bet. Murata seems to want to finish this arc quickly, redraws are on hold for a bit now

someone needs to slap him so he can become "awakened"

Big oof.

I think most people considered and still consider Darkshine a High-Dragon. Definitely not close to above though. As for Garou...he definitely seems animalistic and I considered for a moment that maybe he's not fully conscious, but he also doesn't seem to have a lack in skill atm. Bomb actually notes how masterful his fighting style is, and Garou canceled out one of Bomb's attacks via using the Iron Cutting Fist or whatever it's called.
- 4,384

He's fighting with great skill but has surprisingly little to say. Garou would normally talk some smack- the theory that I've heard the most is that Psykos's brainwashing she tried on him earlier after the Orochi fight is kicking in now for some reason- guess we'll have see to what Psykos has been up to in order to verify that.

@RinneItachi At this point it seems like Darkshine is the gatekeeper of High Dragon.

I always viewed CK or Vaccine Man that way, personally. But I could also see that.
- 7,199

I just got a decent OPM related thread idea I'm gonna go do real quick.

So new chaptee:
- Fuhrer is disgusting
- I love how Genos dors his iconic standing up feat
- More Black Sperm
- Bomb is stronger than Darkshine
- Bang vs Monster Garou AHHHHH
- 26,437
- 30,770
You can't
- 7,199
- 7,583
The new pages are weird at first, but that's only cause of how different they are. I think it's a better look overall.
- 26,437
- 30,770
I think this makes sense. Bang likely wasn't bloodlusted on Darkshine when they sparred. And IIRC, Bang never actually attempted to harm Darkshine, he just redirected his attacks, so it all fits
- 16,286
- 17,801
Actually, you can set your preferences to have the original look.
- 16,286
- 17,801
- 26,437
- 30,770
Wait what
- 7,199
- 7,583
Bomb didn't hurt Garou with his attacks though. Even when he landed solid blows, it did no more than stagger Garou. And no, we don't know what happened when Bang fought Darkshine, just that Darkshine was extremely outclassed in terms of skill but never actually took damage. Saying Bomb and Bang have higher raw AP than Darkshine of all people just sounds absurd and goes against all of the scaling we've seen up to now.
- 26,437
- 30,770
It seems a decent chunk of heroes might get a 7-B, possibly 7-A upgrade then
- 26,437
- 30,770
Never mind what I said prior, I just realized how messed it'd be considering it's implied that they needed the two of them to harm EC. Who is the baseline for the 7-B scaling
Still tho, this might add further justification that their martial arts allows them to at least contend or keep up with opponents much stronger to them
- 8,154

Been saying that for the longest
- 16,286
- 17,801
You forget that Bomb’s AP was directly shown to be matching that of Garou’s though. Him not harming Garou just means Garou’s durability is greater than his AP, something we already accept with Half-Monster Garou.
- 7,199
- 7,583
When? And if that is the case, I think it could also be argued as an outlier.
- 8,154
- 4,141
Could have been garou matching his in order to counter attack.
