He was going all out and serious. but he wasn't
Going all out, being serious =/= killing. Saitama showed many times that he wasn't going to kill Garou. Saitama at the END of the battle did hold back though, like Garou said, he could kill him if he wanted at that point.

That is what i am trying yo say

Except you're still wrong.
Garou wasn't killed in the end because Saitama was a hero, however when the initial Serious Punch was thrown, he didn't consider himself to be one. Up until they left Io, Saitama seriously intended to kill Garou.
- 7,113
- 2,603
he didn't consider himself one because he was late, not because he was not Deep down a hero, Saitama is not a anti-hero, he is a hero (flawed but still hero)
- 19,387
- 17,001
The entire point of that scene was that Saitama was so angry at himself for not being there in time that he threw away all restraints. He was going to blow up the planet. He simply did not care anymore.
- 7,113
- 2,603
Which again, that is a problem he himself has, but he is still a hero at end by not killing Garou, Saitama thinks very low on himself (outside of the power off course)he thinks he is not a hero because he is to late, he thinks he has no emotions, he seemingly wanted to die when he was 22, he has problems to make relations with some people (minud King, mumen rider and Genos...probably manako too)and almost all heroes (not all of them) are very egotistical and are so full of themselfs, they think they are the greatests and invincible, until they are shown they are not invincible and some of them fall, some of them surpass themselfs and accept that they are not invincible, and that is fine.
He in other hand, is invincible, and hates himself.

Saitama says he doesn't have a hero's intuition. which didn't change even at the ending. he's a hero even though he doesn't have a hero's intuition. When they landed to IO, Garou says they should find a way to go back, which Saitama says they'll think of it after he beats him. Sure i might be wrong as well, i just think it's possible he used SP there because Blast was there and that he wasn't going for the kill.
...why? What's the point of it? just sounds like a unrelated sad backstory

Tbh, I feel like Saitama will end up having some kind of unconventional empathic Manipulation resistance.
When fighting Garou, he started pissed af, and the stronger he got, the less importance he gave to Genos' death or the fight in general (to the point that before the Serious Sneeze he had his usual, bored face worrying about his outfit and not about Garou). This aligns with Saitama saying that when he got so strong he lost something that made him Human

So what do y’all think is going to happen next chapter
- 787
- 288
Blastrangers will come and take Blast and Void to another place(anywhere except Earth) Blast will finally start to use blasts. otherwise he doesn't deserve that name.

Blast definitely needs to be Blasting more in this fight. Bang did bang quite a bit back in his day so it's only fair if Blast keeps earning his name.

Lol if his team has to come save him then you know he’s a fraud ain’t no way that’s going to happen tho I don’t believe the fight is over so soon it’s Been what 2 chapters
- 7,113
- 2,603
and then Genos theory says that Saitama was holding back, and his theory was true in all the points (except the light speed)
Recon1511
He/Him- 7,369
- 6,413
There are lot of people like them that genuinely think Saitama was holding back the whole time and in reality he could have one punched Garou lmfao
- 7,113
- 2,603
no, my explanation was:
Saitama was not in full power against Garou, but he still grows in power, because the growth had nothing to do with him being at full power (he alredy has no limits)
Recon1511
He/Him- 7,369
- 6,413
HE LITERALLY THREW A PUNCH WITH FULL KILLING INTENT AT GAROU THAT WOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE EARTH AND HE HIMSELF SAYS HE IS USING HIS FULL POWER WHEN THEY FIGHT IN IO
- 2,597

No way you are comparing Genos' long af speech which is just his interpretation of the events with a literal statement from the narrator.
Genos is not omniscient, he also thought Saitama remembered he defeated Garou lol
- 2,597
- 1,487
Problem is, Garou could notice Saitama's growth because he was matching Saitama's strength.
So, Saitama holding back yet growing makes no sense
- 7,113
- 2,603
That was not part of the theory
- 2,597
- 1,487
So? Genos is not omniscient, just because some words he said were correct doesn't mean you can nitpick whatever favors your argument as correct.
- 7,113
- 2,603
because he is supressing his own power to some level, but when he grows, the level he was at the moment is not the same.
- 7,113
- 2,603
ok so what is not correct in Genos theory?
- 2,597
- 1,487
That does not make any sense. "He's supressing to a fixed level but when his full strength grows, he supresses himself to a higher level"? Bruh
And, again, do not argue with me, argue with the narrator stating that Garou was matching Saitama's strength. And tell me how Saitama was holding back here (top right panel), when the difference between their full powers was less than half a quadrant, yet he was outmatching Garou.
Him saying Saitama's power transcended causality, space and time (it was a technique Garou taught him, not his actual power), the statement of the Theory of Relativity (unless you think all the FTL and above feats cap at below SoL), that he can manipulate the laws of causality…
The only correct thing was the multiverse theory, and just because EV confirmed later that OPM works following MWI.

Yeah, honestly it's just plain obvious Saitama lost himself for a moment there. He does calm down later in the fight, but at the same time he was definitely going serious and ready to kill Garou at the beggining. (unless we assume he's an Aizen level planner and already somehow knew about Blast and the Blastvengers.)
- 2,653

Nah killing garou is head canon and was never stated he was angry but that doesn’t translate into blood lusted he never would’ve calmed down if that was the case and he clearly remembered the kids words

A pissed off version of Frosty vs Garou
Am I running out of ideas at this point? I don't really care, and I most definitely think this match would be interesting to put into play. Plus, Winter's almost here anyway. Both are 7-C Second Key of Garou is used, although Snowy is most likely not strong enough for him to reach up to 7-A...

So Empty Void possesses CF Garou's knowledge right? The power given to him seemingly not just a boost of energy but also an intellectual boost. Also he might even surpass him since Empty Void already surpasses in-universe information and now possess higher dimensional information.
- 7,113
- 2,603
I want him to surpass Garou, i have traumas with the Solaris vs The end arguments...

theres almost no chance of void surpassing Garou, IMO.
- 7,113

Explain

Garou's inherent ability was to copy other people and evolve beyond them, which made him so busted. Void is literally just another ninja with a stat boost.
- 558
- 164
Yeah a Ninja that has detective skills that requires insane IQ and advanced assassination skills that requires adaptation on every situation. Remember were talking about the leader or founder every other skills that thought in the village are originated from him. Just because you've been spoonfed by the screentime of Garou you're gonna ignore the exposition for Empty Void which is more impressive for someone whose already strong as Blast back then than someone whose just adapting or rookie for busted abilities.
