STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

Genuinely curious though, why did alot of people get the idea that Boros was the end all be all for all monsters and that he stomps everyone (besides Garou) below him?

Of course ik this site doesn't just scale Boros above everybody without reason but I'm genuinely curious why lots of people think ONE intended Boros to have to be stronger than 99% of the series.

Implied to be near God level (highest disaster level in the series), surprised Saitama on multiple occasions, genuinely impressed him, made Saitama get serious, is far above his three generals who are all Dragon's, has one of the most impressive feats in the series (moon kick) and would destroy the Earth's surface with his final attack (although unfortunately that "feat" is obviously very vague).
 
If High 6-B end gets accepted then Orochi could potentially fight against One Piece god tiers (since they have hax it should balance it out)
 
Saitama got hurt by lava the same way we would get hurt by bathwater being a little too hot. It’s definitely not on par with weird shit like Krillin getting hurt by bullets despite being 5-B or whatever tier he is
 
I mean, they definitely did for Boros to be above 99% of characters, but just in an early part of the story.
 
Also the new Orochi backstory/motive is a bit confusing. Because it's a bit weird that he didn't want to use Garou as a sacrafice.

Basically, he's a fan favorite character, and is by far one of the two most hyped villains ever in the series, the other being AG

Nah man it's totally legit. If Saitama took 10,000 degrees Celsius or higher he'd die.

Because in the webcomic he and Awakened Garou are just that, nobody comes even close to them.
This led to this idea that to ONE they must be untouchable god tiers, idea wich seems to no longer exist in the manga (at least VSB wise), as people feel threatened that orochi/psykorochi might make Boros obsolete and steal his place as god tier or worse, steal Garou's

AG is most certain to be the stroingest monster thus far, as his narrative is him becoming the strongest monster

"feel threatened" "might make Boros obsolete" No one feels "threatened" or is worried about Boros placement. It literally just doesn't make sense narratively for them to be on the level of those 2.
 
Not to mention it also hurts the ego of the elitism fans who goated about OPM not having "unecessary powercreep" and keeping it's villains and monsters at stable power levels unlike shounens.

Why would he use Garou as a sacrifice?
He wasn’t anywhere near his level.

Orochi didn't imply the rest were on his level did he? Garou being a Mid-Dragon already is enough for Orochi to at least consider him I'd think. Then again maybe not as he'd just use the Cadre's if that was true.

All I'm seeing is that Boros was the strongest Saitama has encountered and will encounter but I don't see a valid reason for why we have to gatekeep other characters from being strong just because Saitama lied to Boros with most of his actions.
 
I think he used Saitama because he was aware that Gouketsu and Elder Centipede were killed by him, plus he felt his mysterious pressure or something like that.
 
I wouldn't even call it PiS, unless that's what nonsensical gag anti-feats are considered. It's the same as him getting hurt by a cat. The joke there is that Saitama needed to adjust to the heat before fully getting into the bathtub. Because if you get in too fast it's gonna hurt a lot.
 
RinneItachi said:
What are you even saying, I'm saying Boros is narratively implied to still be above everything apart from Garou, including Orochi and Psykorochi, that doesn't mean those two are in a lower tier, I'm saying that narratively speaking, Boros is still superior.
Click to expand...
Why is Boros being strong important to the narrative though, how does the narrative change if someone else happens to be stronger than him after Saitama beats his ass?
 
I'm not even talking about that. It doesn't matter if someone eventually surpasses Boros. The point is that Boros' narrative implications imply he's still stronger than Orochi. Why? Because Orochi was not an opponent Saitama ever regarded as impressive or even noteworthy. Whereas Boros is the opposite of that.
