This will probs never get accepted for obvious reasons but LS precog AC and FTL orochi should be a thing (again?). I feel like the entire purpose for AC and him getting caught is to demonstrate the difference between orochi and anyone else, Garou and PS zooming into the FTL range would make for a, they've finally approached the level of orochi, especially the entire 25+ y/o statement of PS and Orochi...
thats my garbage reasoning but i dont think LS precog AC is an outlier anymore.

AC may not have been able to run but he could still fly 👀
 
Had a question about EOW jets? what the presumed speed cuz these jets are probably(not probably, they are) faster than the jets that were able to hit garou when he one shotted and fodderized FU.
 
How is that FTL calc going?
Not as well as I'd like, work and the gym are killing me and the time I have left, my girlfriend gets the rest, but I'm still going to finish this.
Details, I already made 1401 lines :(

I have a personal headcanon that Rover was forcefully turned into a monster by Psykos and didn't go through monsterization like Nyan. It's why he doesn't have the same level of intellect and why he acts like a normal (Albeit aggressive) guard dog.

I dunno, Psykos nabbed some poor dog off the street and experimented on it turned into the Rover we now know.
 
Rover is alive, last we saw Rover he got "tamed" by Bang and Bomb underground. It's likely under all the rubble. I suspect a single Black Sperm cell, separate from the 100 cell insurance sent off before Platinum Sperm emerged, is still roaming around. But it's possible that Black Sperm won't survive and only Rover will become Saitama's pet. Which honestly makes things much less comedic afterwards if so. I hope not. But we'll see.
 
Also, something to note about Black Sperm. Black Sperm's face (notably in the webcomic) looks pretty similar to Dimple, a Mob Psycho character, and he also has some similar personality traits. Black Sperm's face, personality, and him becoming a pseudo-ally to Saitama despite actually using him (a parallel to Dimple and Shigeo's initial relationship) might all just be a reference to Mob Psycho. ONE may have left it out of the manga for that reason.

Did not Orochi caught Awakened Cockroach whose feet are gone from Genos fight?
 
I'm sure this will all suffer a redraw
tbh i wouldn't mind some redraws to fix up Garou's currently mashed-up character, if they don't manage to fix it in these next few chapers. Sucks that I even have to worry about something like that.
 
Let's at least wait for the next few chapters...

Surely ONE wouldn't just completely reverse Garou's S-Tier development for comedy...
I don't want to admit it but many changes in this arc had me upset at the direction it's going but this chapter almost sealed the deal for me and made me drop it. But I've been with this series for too many years and hiatuses to quit from one chapter. ONE and Murata, please make my lack of faith look stupid in the future.

Don't worry guys. From here on, Garou is gonna be fully in-character and fight Metal Bat next chapter and curbstomp him. Also, Saitama Vs. Garou is totally gonna get the time it needs and not be rushed with mid-tier Murata art!

No but seriously, Garou was so god damn out-of-character. Like. If he needed to team up with Metal Bat for a second to save innocent bystanders, I'd get it. But he barely gets any actual help from him and, until further evidence suggests otherwise, is far above Metal Bat, not only that, but he's still working with him even after the humans escaped and Tareo is nowhere near the battlefield right now. So in other words, Garou is willingly teaming up with a Hero for seemingly no reason when he should realistically be trying to fight both at once. It makes no sense at all. Like, did ONE and Murata forget what Garou did as a Hero Hunter, when his resolve should've been weaker than it is right now? He literally maimed and crippled far weaker Hero's who were just doing their jobs because he felt like it. And Metal Bat casually deflecting an attack from Sage Centipede just feels wrong for several reasons.

I liked the Saitama section and some of the beginning, but everything that happened after Metal Bat first got involved (besides Saitama stuff) was just not good imo.

Same. I don't know why ONE is approving this stuff, he must not be focusing on OPM too much right now. I can only hope that there is a grand plan and that there is some thought behind this characterization that doesn't involve directly undoing everything about Garou that makes the character great. That or it gets redrawn.

Yeah, the ending of the MA arc in the webcomic was so good, I end up going back to reread it every few months. It manages to be funny without explicitly creating weird, corny gags. It uses the badassery, personality, and power of the characters to make you laugh rather than whatever the hell the manga is doing right now. The entrances in the webcomic were also so much more impactful. And every single line was legendary...

Like, man... The dialogue from Garou in the webcomic was so hilariously edgy, yet amazing at the same time. He also talked WAY more than in the manga. And Garou is at his best when he's talking because he ***** on everyone and that's easily one of the best parts of the MA arc for me. It seems like no one in the world could do anything cause he just talks down on them before obliterating them in every way possible.

Speaking of, his actions were also way better. Him kicking the ass out of everyone is still my favorite part in the entire webcomic, and man does the manga not do it justice. In the webcomic, he's so quick as he humiliates every single hero, and it really makes the God Slayer fist seem like some impenetrable, peak martial art, because nobody can do shit to it. While in the manga it ends up just looking like a minor buff.


I could go on and on about why I feel the same way, but I think I should stop before I write an essay...

I feel the same, even Saitama surfing the aircraft carrier, while comical, was pretty ******* cool, but then Garou and Metal Bat started their banter, and the chapter just deflated at that point.

Garou didn't say anything to the World News either, he just made an ugly, comical face and pushed the helicopter away.

This could have been the perfect opportunity for Garou to show himself as a God-level threat, but I guess he isn't even pretending anymore, he wants to be a hero.
