STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

There are some characters that absolutely have to scale from the 6-C, it’s just figuring out where to put an outlier or new key or justification where the scaling would become circular
we know fubuki scales to base bang and bomb because of rover, and we know that darkshine scales to base bang as well. We know that darkshine could injure peak spiral Garou, and that garou’s very next fight was bomb, so it’s consistent.
If fubuki’s chains result in circular scaling, we make a new key for the new arc. If darkshine gets one shot by a below 6-C character, then we assume he was weakened/off guard instead of throwing out the scaling entirely
this is how I think we should be solving the scaling issues at least

Doesnt matter if he deems it as simply filth when its still an attempt on his life? Like if it wasn't personal, one strong enough punch would have stopped VFU?

As you said, the first punch caved in VFU's head. How exactly did GS know that wouldnt kill him? Then with VFU's head injured that GS would logically assume is suffering lethal damage, GS proceeds to throw more punches specifically targetting an already vulnerable area. Then for good measure, punches one last time at VFU's head again because why tf not?

wouldn't make sense for him to kill him while they were still battling the S class.

GS didnt seem to care much for VFU's contribution to the fight when he pretty much crippled him with his attacks.

the digestive acid gets more powerful, which means his durability is actually decreasing over time as he needs more and more stuff to eat
Click to expand...
The digestive acid gets more powerful maybe because its now a part of him, which points toward his regen getting more powerful too, and by the simple fact that its a part of him, it would also have its own durability, which is also increasing.
Again, it balances it out.

Also eating to replenish himself doesnt really make sense when the process has VFU turning the biomass into a puddle of acid too. I think he eats because overtime parts of him fall off that he can't regenerate from the acid and the food pretty much helps him regain mass.

We’re not assuming either of those things for Darkshine getting one-shot by Golden Sperm.

Well that’s clearly what happened wether you like it or not. He was covered in acid that starting damaging him and had clearly lost his will to fight as golden sperm said

Losing the will to fight doesn’t make you less durable, and literally nothing says that the acid made him weaker. not to mention that it looks like Golden punched him in the face, which had no acid on it whatsoever

Golden Sperm knocked Darkshine out with one punch, and he was unconscious for the rest of the arc. I don’t know why y’all use so many mental gymnastics to get around Golden being stronger than him.

The punch didn’t even draw blood or break any bones or anything, it just made him go unconscious. All it shows is that he was completely off guard. We don’t know the degree to which a battle-ready darkshine would be weaker than golden sperm, but your only evidence is a knockout from when darkshine was crying and hurt and running away and didn’t even want to fight. But you know what evidence we do have to the contrary? Him scaling to base bang, him being able to damage spiral Garou who scales to rover, and multiple statements of him being one of the association’s strongest fighters physically, vs one scene of him at his absolute lowest getting knocked out but not even sustaining superficial damage.
 
There are undeniable facts
1. Base Bang and Bomb are soon scaling to at most 6-C
2. Darkshine is comparable to base bang
3. The only anti feat we have is one where darkshine is in pain and off guard
You do the math Tracer.
 
And when push comes to shove, even IF we were being weird enough to accept darkshine not being weakened and he was totally in perfect condition vs golden sperm, what are we going to do then? We have multiple scaling chains and statements that say darkshine’s should scale to at most 6-C, vs a single anti feat. Which one gets tossed out? The more reliable and common end, or the singular outlier? The downplay here is absolutely wild if you’re gonna try and justify the contradictory and least common end as the truest one.

Downsale base Bang to Awakened Bang just because "it has no proof of increasing durability too" is not solid. In fact, it should due to newton's third law.

And anyway, think Bang should scale to his Awakened form despite Bang, who was completely powerless against normal EC at the point he needed a combination of him and his brother to do nothing and EC growing stronger, yet Awakened Bang could defeat EC just invalidates any downscale from Bang to his full power form. The same applies to Bomb

And, again, as you said, it'd create circular scaling between Golden Sperm, Darkshine and Platinum Sperm. And I've seen you want to even downscale Human Garou to Awakened Bang, like, like, bruh...

Sorry for not making it clear
Darkshine being a one shot below golden sperm kinda screws up the scaling chain since the planned revision is downscaling base bang from 6-C, while golden sperm (already below platinum sperm and can’t scale to his 6-C) being a one shot above darkshine who scales to bang and scales above rover who also a scales to bang would make that absolutely screwed up
so yeah, it is an anti feat in the grand scheme of things

You know what’s crazy

This wouldn’t be a problem

If you just went with High 7-A+

Which is what the original proposal was
 
Even downscaling Bang and Bomb to High 7-A+ would make Darkshine a one-shot above it tbf. Because Garou's durability scales to Rover, and Darkshine one shotted a Garou more powerful than the one Rover fought.

That’s not the reasoning we’re using
It’s because of the following things
bomb roughly = base bang
Weakened Bomb goes hand to hand with Garou and is able to stall until silverfang arrives
Full power awakening breath silverfang challenges the same Garou and clashes equally
He has a slight advantage but Garou quickly uses awakening breath after seeing silverfang, and then bomb says garou’s power increased again (but only due to awakening breath, meaning he hasn’t evolved yet)
Since awakening breath Garou at the same power as when he fought bomb was still capable of taking a few hits from silverfang, it just makes more sense to scale base bang and bomb to base Garou, who downscales from AB bang, who scales to AB Garou.

It doesn’t really change the scaling chain actually, it just moves everything a half step lower
I talked with others and there’s still a bit of confusion of wether post darkshine Garou should scale directly to platinum sperm or downscale, since all he did was a tiny crack against an off guard platinum sperm but it’s close
 
And uhhh wait lemme think
Base bang at least high 7-A+, darkshine at least high 7-A+, golden sperm at most 6-C
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
But also at least high 7-A+ Bang = rover AP > high 7-A+ Garou < at least high 7-A+ darkshine = at least high 7-A+ spiral Garou
So I guess we can say spiral Garou is roughly equal to post darkshine base Garou and base bang
But then that means post darkshine garou is a one shot below golden sperm if he’s equal to darkshine’s AP
what a headache yet again
 
Oh wait no this is fine actually
Post darkshine AB garou downscaling from sperm, base Garou downscaling again to at least high 7-A+
Golden sperm is a one shot above that, but platinum sperm isn’t necessarily a one shot above golden sperm
At least High 7-A+ Spiral Garou and darkshine, at most 6-C gSperm, and 6-C pSperm

Not really. People with comparable AP can be one shot.

I don't know you, let's assume we're the same strength/dura. I could punch you in the chest and stomach and you would tank it with minor injuries, but if you then punched me in the jaw, and I didn't prepare myself properly, you could instantly knock me out just from the jostling of my brain. This lines up with the attack simply knocking Darkshine out instead of really damaging him.

Edit: Capital letters.
 
Hey. It's been months since I last actively followed the thread. Where is base Bang and Bomb being 6-C coming from? I'm guessing it's either 1) downscaling from AB Bang or 2) them scaling to Post Molt EC who was (depending on the translation) above Gouketsu.

Which one is it.

Base garou was able to take a hit from AB silverfang and clash with him before using awakening breath, and bomb was able to go toe to toe with base garou, and bomb is equal to base bang
awakening breath garou during the ultra hellfire burst wave thingy was able to hit an off guard platinum sperm and slightly crack his face so he's 6-C

Yeah, ByAsura and others denied me that scaling more than a year ago. I don't know what has changed, but I'm glad the upgrade is finally happening.
 
I don't think I denied it (in a CRT, anyway). I think I actually agreed with it, and then some other staff member was the one denying it.

But I could be misremembering.

Edit: Yeah I was misremembering, but you agreed with me there.

  • At least high 7-A+ Pre molt Centipede > High 7-A+ Metal Knight missiles
  • At least high 7-A+ Base Bang ~ Atomic Samurai > High 7-A+ Half Monster garou
  • At most 6-C Sun Blade atomic samurai = Golden Sperm > At least high 7-A+ Darkshine
  • there's literally no way to get royal ripper, bug god, other mid tiers like that to scale. Sadly, child emperor and drive knight also can't scale
  • speed scaling is kinda similar iirc with subrel, but fubuki completely gets blitzed by it, so anybody who fubuki scales to shouldn't be able to keep up with sub rel
unrelated, but can this be used as evidence that garou broke his limiter by the time of the saitama fight?
 
this is the result of hours and hours of circular scaling bullshit and having to find more ways to disappoint myself by eliminating the possibility of high 7-A+ watchdog man

well she doesn't know the term limiter but she does say he hit a "peak" and then ascended beyond it, which is an accurate limiter breaking description for someone who doesn't know the terminology like fubuki

nope
genos's AP is only at least high 7-A+ with jet drive arrow , his physical strikes are only low 7-B and he never hurt anybody that scales to damaging him (without using jet drive arrow)
 
oh wait, also gouketsu scales above carnage kabuto who scales to darkshine, meaning he's gonna be at least high 7-A+ as well

His Durability is still High 7-A, and his upgrade shouldn't be that much inferior to the version that used JDA. In theory, MA Arc Genos should be above the JDA since he is supposed to be specialised in pure attack power, while his previous form wasn't
