So why doesn't Sage Centipede have a profile yet? Is it because calculations are still being made, or were the moderators just waiting for the next chapter?

We're waiting on everything.
Also going by Sage Centipede's regen I wonder if we need to adjust EC's regen as well.

Just more confirmation that ONE's version of SC is nowhere near as big as Murata's. Which may explain the massive size inconsistency going on with it.

It's basically ONE. Murata mostly gives ideas. He repeats it more than once and all the time

Sage Centipede is giant

I laughed out loud when Metal Bat said that. 500 meters away and you can't even see it from where they're sitting amidst all the cityscape. I bet if Murata got asked SC's size he'd probably say he was 45 meters wide or something, give SC the Beefcake treatment

Regeneration (At least Mid. Will regenerate no matter what piece of it is destroyed. The only way to get anywhere is by destroying every part of it's body at once)
I included Garou's statements rather than scans of him actually regenerating... Cause I feel they actually give us the full extent of his regen.
Opinions?

I find it kinda weird that Garou suddenly stopped using his Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist against an opponent who was stronger than Platinum Sperm. Did that mean that Garou hasn't perfected it yet? Did he even use it at all again during the fight with Platinum Sperm and Flashy Flash after the initial usage, or did he just think that Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist and Whirlwind Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist were more appropriate? It's just off-putting.

Nah, that was changed at the end of the chapter. Like Mel, SC regenerates from a core and once that core was removed it couldn't heal anymore. Its justification needs to be changed. Its likely SC probably worked the same way as well.

ONE tweeted Murata was responsible for redraws and the story changes that came with it.

eh, I think it can just be listed as a weakness. He has "at least mid regen" so long as his core is in-tact basically. Garou's statements still apply when the core is in-tact I think.
- 20,025
- 16,594
Well to use an example, look at Cell
You would just note that SC regenerates from a special core. Without that core he cannot regenerate.

(At least Mid so long as its regenerative core is intact; Will regenerate no matter what piece of it is destroyed; Garou claimed that the only way to get anywhere was by destroying every part of its body at once)
How about this?

Looks like Sage would have regenerated from getting pierced by Garou if he had his core.
- 20,025
- 16,594
I would word it like
The head to toe statement is negated by the core's existence. You would just need to show that it can regenerate and scale it to EC.

I think it because SC's attack is stronger than Garou,if I'm not mistaken the technique he uses uses energy from the enemy's attack and returns it stronger

Alright. I am currently making a draft of SC's page.
Is there any accepted speed for him?
- 20,025
- 16,594
Just "At least MHS, possibly higher" or something.
Assuming that ENO calc didn't get the jet MHS+ speed or something.
- 2,907
- 1,605
Should we do something about it?
For example, try to calculate the width based on the distance.
- 20,025
- 16,594
Idk.
Generally like with Kengan Asura I feel like we should generally always take writer statements over artist inconsistencies but I don't know how that works when like, every single panel of SC would contradict the idea that its under 500 meters in length.
- 1,983

If Metal Bat is FTL, Sage Centipède should be FTL as well. He is able to intercept and punch Metal Bat from a considerable distance away before he can even swing his bat again. Also, it looks like SC moved out of the way to avoid getting hit in the face by Metal Bat, considering how close they were moments before.
- 2,907
- 1,605
I don't remember the inconsistencies in Kengan Asura.
What about the situation in this manga. I guess it's better to make a low-ball version the size of a centipede.
- 20,025

Speed feats were the largest contention with the series.

YesFTL combat speed SC (Overwhelmed Garou and Metal Bat at the same time with his hand attack thingies)
FTL combat speed Metal Bat (Scaling down from SC)
SC is potentially 6-B ig, though I feel the length of 2000km might be a bit wonky and in need of a recall. I mean, that's literally a continental worm at that point lmao.
Up to 6-C (6-B?) Fighting Spirit Metal Bat (Damaged SC alongside Garou)
Up to 6-C (6-B?) Garou (Did tons of ******* damage to SC)
SC gains Low-Mid regeneration and possibly type 2 immortality
Kind of want to see Garou X Metal Bat in the Manga and watch the world burn lmao

Well, I have already solved this problem.
The bullet, which was out of reach for the top tier, had a speed of 800 m/s.
That's why high and top tier have base supersonic speed and god tier has Supersonic+ since literally no one in the series reacts to it.

Wait people are trying to scale SC's speed to Garou? Lmao Garou has been speed blitzing him ever since the moment SC appeared.
Maybe to some extent SC could kind of scale in terms of dura to Garou's AP, just because Garou's attacks have been damaging him but not causing any sort of major damage, apart from the end of this chapter, of course. But that's pretty much it, in every other facet of combat Garou clearly dwarfs SC.

I find him pretty cool. I know he doesn't have much substance, but he's just powerful enough, and contributes enough to the lore to be awesome.

I don't know why they had to introduce another centipede near the end of the arc. Maybe mid-battle or something but why NOW of all times??? It makes no sense and takes away from the build-up we've been getting to some extent. I mean, clearly ONE is trying to drag it out for whatever reason, but I just don't understand why. We've been waiting for Saitama Vs. Awakened Garou in the manga for literal years, and we're so close to it, literally like 2-3 chapters away if they want to, this is not the time to be introducing a new villain that takes like 2 whole chapters.
- 6,116
- 6,131
Or just make it so that Garou has a large buff at the end of the PS fight or randomly learns something new between fights. There are still plenty of ways they could've done this, didn't need to introduce a new Monster just to buff Garou. Honestly I feel like this is mostly because they wanted Metal Bat to do something.

Well so Metal Bat is stated to be weaker than Garou multiple times (SC even said he wasn't the problem) and then stated to get stronger thank his normal thanks to their power nature being equal, amping both ?
Power scaling is fixed, MB should have a separate rating thanks to his Garou Tag Team, even if he can't do on his own

Not to mention he literally sucks. His dialogue is boring and repetitive. Nothing he does is meaningful, he has barely harmed Garou. He's barely pushed Garou at all from the looks of it tbh. He's just there just to be there. A punching bag. I guess they just needed an excuse to buff Metal Bat or something. At least Garou vs Metal Bat might be cool? this centipede guy just seems like a waste of chapters. literal filler.
