Not sure what you meant, but either way it’s incredibly hard to believe that orochi just happened to be yet another person who’s just stronger than literally everyone else in the universe, the chances are just so low, and really the only one meant to be an exception is saitama.
How are the chances too low? It's fiction. For all we know, Orochi was the strongest person in the universe besides Saitama after Boros died.
There's no frame of reference here because A) the prophecy is shaky as ****, and B) he'd never gone to Earth before.
Also, Orochi would very much be an exception if the limiter stuff is correct.
Orochi was stated to have less potential than Garou, so it’s implied that orochi succeeded in weakening his limiter, but wasn’t able to break it the way Garou might have done after perfecting his fist. Although it’s kinda speculation if Garou did it at all, though I do believe he did. Regardless, him not having limitless potential means he didn’t break his limiter yet.
She said
he possesses qualities to potentially get on an equal or higher level. Psykos literally said that Orochi was a
success on
multiple occasions. What you're saying doesn't disprove anything.
Sorry I was quoting anime Boros who says “living flesh”
Seemingly it’s just him saying that he’s beyond the limits of living beings, which is the limiter.
Assuming he even knows about it.
Also, Limiters limit growth. Different creatures have different plateaus, so it doesn't make sense in the context that he uses his latent energy as a booster.
Seemingly, it's just referring to the fact that the vast majority of organisms literally aren't designed to perform the activities he performs.
Alternatively, there’s Boros’ armor which he says is used to seal his limitless power, which also would line up with a broken limiter if he’s using a suit of armor instead.
He doesn't say that in the manga.
Also, limiters don't limit power, they limit the growth of power. It's not anime Boros alluding to a limiter, it's Boros being hyperbolic.
Iirc there’s a panel of Boros running at saitama that matches saitama running at the subterraneans
Not taking your word for that. Even if I did, minor similarities in art mean nothing.
Well no, the reason I brought it up was because it was the “narrator”, not Boros
Which changes literally nothing.
And of course he wasn’t damaged, but it does imply that nobody had hit saitama that hard up until that point, which is true of course based on saitama’s statement.
So that wouldn't include Orochi.
More importantly, it is just one of many ways that Boros is shown to be strong that orochi doesn’t have.
Given that he's shown to be unharmed by this level of impact, narratively they wouldn't repeat that kind of thing.
The csrc was a last ditch suicide move, so it’s questionable if it really factored into Boros being a strong guy rather than just having a strong final attack
The CSRC is literally the only thing in the fight that forced Saitama to use an even vaguely measurable fraction of his strength. It'd definitely be the most memorable part.
him saying he was almost a real fight before that and repeatedly calling him strong seems to indicate that Boros was already stronger than the rest without even using csrc
He said that once, told Boros to end the fight, and then called it almost a real fight because he was kicked to the moon before the CSRC exchange happened.
but still, you can’t deny that saitama definitely makes a complete joke of orochi. When flashy flash brings up monster king orochi, Saitama assumes that the orochi flashy is talking about is the monster king’s dad and says something like “maybe he’ll be strong”, which of course implies that the actual orochi was not strong in his eyes.
Sure. But it doesn't really prove anything.
