I don't think JJK is that much more popular than OPM? At least not back in 2019 when season 2 came out and it was still dog water.
Sure, Jujutsu Kaisen might not have been as popular as One-Punch Man in 2018 (probably because Jujutsu Kaisen was barely a year old, excluding Jujutsu Kaisen 0), but I don't see why that applies to your question which was about Jujutsu Kaisen today.
Also I don't get why people are starting to glaze season 2 as if it wasn't also trash. People STILL don't know how to see through nostalgia goggles. Just because season 3 is war crime levels of bad doesn't make season 2 good. Season 2 wasn't as bad, but it was still absolute trash. Let's stop glazing
I never said that, but ok.
 
I genuinely don't understand why people like Gojo so much, he's so damn corny. He aura farms SO hard that it's beyond cringe. After he fights he starts breathing in and out hella hard i couldn't hold in my laughter that scene was so corny. He always has this edgelord grin and makes me want to smack his face. Only 14 year olds think an arrogant edgelord is cool. Like bro we get that you're the strongest you want a cookie? You didn't even work for it you were just born with it

Kakashi is like Gojo except actually cool and respectable. He's extremely talented and strong, yet compassionate and humble. He doesn't aura farm like that loser Gojo
I have a coworker who tattooed Gojo in his forearm and uses him as a pfp so i get the sentiment, i really do.
 
Because Jujutsu Kaisen is far more popular, makes way more money, and has a production committee that seems to want to give the team at Mappa (most) of the resources they need to make the anime adaptation look good.
Well it is more popular now, but that's partially BECAUSE of the god-tier animation. Back when it started it had not even a tenth of OPM's popularity. But season 2 and onward makes sense because JJK season 1 became mainstream rather quickly.

Same thing with Demon Slayer, not very well known originally necessarily but season 1 became a massive hit so they poured more investments into it.

OPM had a huge season 1, and it was going to continue, but abruptly the studio got cut off and it got dumped into the hands of JC Staff that are seemingly incapable of producing a truly high quality season. At least season 2 was tolerable. Literally the "Perhaps I treated you too harshly." Thanos meme when season 3 dropped.

Yeah, it's sad.
 
I think Post-MA Garou can be pretty comfortably be scaled to his peak as Spiral Garou, maybe after the next chapter we can begin working on the new key.



I mean it's basically spelled out to us at what level of power he is currently lol

Maybe, but he didn't fight Flash or anyone as far as we know. Bang apparently still didn't start the contest against heroes. (So he probably wasn't able to beat Bang)

I'd say you could arguably scale him above FF, at least in speed, given FF couldn't notice where he went after he escaped, while Saitama could.

Which makes sense given he implicitely said he could already beat Bang

Doesn't hold up, he parries with Bang daily and considers him to be part of this "tournament" he wants to hold to unlock the secrets of his Fist without monsterizing. If he could just perception blitz him then that doesn't make sense anymore, it's irrelevant scaling wise and can be chalked up to Bang, Flashy and others just being extremely weakened by the end of the arc.
 
As you said, he is parrying with Bang to improve his Martial Arts. His intention is not only to get physically stronger, but to improve his technique. Obviously, speedblitzing someone and finishing the fight in one blow does not let your technique grow at all, so even if he were faster, if what he wants is to improve his technique, he should stick to Bang's level to make the only decisive factor of the fight Martial Arts, not physical stats.

But, well, it's not really that I mind at all. Scaling him to the level of his fight against Bang or Bomb at worst seems reasonable anyway
 
JJK may not be that popular, But Gojo and Suluna certainly are.
I think it's starting to change now that the series has been out for a while, but as someone who saw the JJK pop culture phenomenon but had no context on the plot, I pretty sure Gojo was the protagonist. There were a solid couple years of seeing merch, hearing "Gojo" "Sukuna" and even names like "Mahoraga" before I heard about a guy called "Yuji".

That's no comment on the quality of the story or the fanbase, it's funny that the protagonist is deemphasized in the public eye to the point that far more people know about Gojo than they do the actual protagonist. Obviously One Punch Man doesn't have that same issue, nor Mob Psycho (literally title = protagonist name), but it's still pretty crazy.

Maybe Versus has a similar issue with Jachi outshining Hallow, IDK (powerscalers love to talk about Jachi).
 
Serious question, why do so many people treat Bug God as the strongest demon level? They say he would easily beat the likes of DSK but his feats really aren't that impressive imo. He only ever fought human Garou alongside Royal Ripper, another demon level. This version of Garou only evolved once after his beatdown from Bang and Bomb, so probably not that far ahead of BoS Garou. Even with Royal Ripper, they really couldn't do anything to Garou until they caught him by surprise. Then he got one tapped by Darkshine. He's very likely stronger than DSK but not by an insane amount like people claim

DSK is fodder
 
Pre-G4 Genos two-shotted a Hybrid Deep Sea King. Bug God is way above that.
Is he though? G4 Genos is likely similar in strength to Suiryu (since he called Suiryu very strong), Suiryu is likely on par with early Garou based on the OVAs, although maybe not canon. And early Garou struggled with Bug God. So how does this add up you tell me.

Red Garou's AP is at least comparable to that of Tank-Top Master's and Post-Superfight Genos'. In the Genos' Training audiobook, Genos beats Hydrated DSK with just 2 moves, that version of Genos was pre-G4. Post-Superfight Genos has the G4 upgrade plus a smaller extra buff, and his physical AP was stated to be equal to that of TTM. Even TTM would no-extremely low-diff DSK. Red Garou whose AP is, again, comparable (not necessarily "equal") to TTM's off of scaling literally hurt HIMSELF by punching Bug God. Bug God was totally unphased by the attack meanwhile Garou's fist was bleeding. Plus Bug God's carapace completely no-selled Royal Ripper's blades, with RR being portrayed as a fairly high Demon level threat, plus his blades were strong enough to nearly kill Red Garou who in a far weaker state tanked punches from TTM, Genos, and a somewhat restrained but pissed off Bang, AND his blade still managed to harm Garou the second time they fought, who was able to endure a blast from Rover at point blank range though he was close to dying ofc. Not saying Bug God would just eat a blast from Rover for breakfast but I don't think he would fare anywhere near as poorly as the 3 joke Monster's.

But it doesn't end there. Drive Knight when talking to Sekingar about dangerous Monster's he discovered and documented (mainly Cadre's such as Nyan), Bug God is included in images of them. And to top that off, Bug God still had a transformation he only used on Darkshine, but he got no-diffed so we don't know if it was a massive power amp, if it only effected specific stats, etc..

In the Garou fight it was shown that he was a bit slower and had clunky movements, and when he did land attacks they didn't do much damage. But in terms of durability he's like, easily top Demon level off of absolutely no-diffing attacks from two people whose AP is easily high Demon level. Plus keep in mind Garou could have already been around bottom tier Dragon level at this point. Bug God was just unfortunate to run into Darkshine.

This is a way better response than I anticipated. That makes sense ngl.
Also just a heads up, the correct word is "unfazed", not "unphased."
 
Suiryu is likely on par with early Garou based on the OVAs
They only fought through avatars though. It says nothing strength-wise. And speed-wise, Garou's top speed was faster than what could be detected by the equipment while it is suggested to be otherwise for Suiryu. At most, you can say that their techniques are equal.

I feel like the narrative implies they're equal. IMO Suiryu has more raw power than BoS Garou, but Garou was way more skilled.
 
Alright, thanks for explaining that.

Since we've gone 3 (4?) weeks without a chapter now I figure I might as well gush about the webcomic. Having re-read the recent webcomic chapters recently... they're so intense. Emotionally yeah, of course. But on a re-read, there are so many critical details in the dialogues between Child Emperor and Bofoi that I overlooked and haven't seen anyone talk about it.

It's crazy how Bofoi has perfected the AI that Drive Knight is a prototype of. He said that it's done, explicitly. He has Drive Knight 2.0 complete. Since Boros appears mindless right now... do you think it's possible he intended to put the completed AI inside Boros's body? I was thinking originally that he intended to put his own mind in Boros if he died or something but now that he's still alive (could still die tbf), the true AI is literally the foundation for the entire organization arc and Bofoi fookin' beat them at their own game.

Speaking of Bofoi being my second favorite s-class hero, I find it strange how nobody's talking about how he's broken his own mental limiter to reach the level of intellect needed to create and control the AI without needing to cyberize himself. At the age of 60-70 this old man has become so much smarter in a few years that he can do what was thought to be humanly impossible by both he and Isamu. When you consider the implications of what he's trying to do and how much SMARTER he is, it's a wonder that he's not even more morally grey. Genus got halfway to Bofoi's level and decided humanity needed to be destroyed. Same for Kuseno and he decided he needed to control humanity directly. Bofoi is still a profoundly altruistic person with a secretive A*hole personality.

It's worth noting that if Drive Knight wasn't able to break his mental limiter and Genos hadn't reached his current level, I think MK had the tools to solo the organization with the Metal Series, his metal knight squad, his pawn squad, his army of advanced units, his own suit and of course Boros the Brain Dead.

Final note, just genuinely crazy how many resources the Organization/Kuseno has. We've seen legitimately like 30 machine gods at this point on top of the 4 mil+ drone army, a squad of monsters stronger than the MA, Drive Knight, and Mad Cyborg Genos.

The count of the robots will probably be higher in the manga.

Then we'll add the entire army to their profile as "standard equipment" lol.
 
Can someone tell me why we accept relativistic+ statement of geryuganshoop as possibly when it's a clear statement? I mean why do we take Murata statements as such?
(I couldn't find why 😅)

Blast was described as an amalgamate of S-class heroes by Fubuki in databook. The trait he got from Bofoi was having trillions of robots. A food for thought.

He also has Boros' ship, super weapons beyond any hero (according to Child Emperor) and a rumored ultimate weapon (according to bonus chapters). I think the super nuclear cruiser destroyed by EOW was his as well but I might be mistaken.

I mean that certainly could be true in the manga. If they buff the Organization Arc like they did the MA lol... well there you go. They could always give a glow-up like they did to Webcomic Psykos with Psykorochi (to this day the most insane upscale in the whole series).

True, probably true, honestly thought the ultimate weapon was Boros. And yes, the Gotz Okkie is "the ship I [Metal Knight] designed", MK says that in chapter 169. I caught that detail because for like 15 chapters I couldn't stop laughing at the fact that Amai Mask got speedblitzed by a boat when he was trying to kill Manako and failed to damage it. MK's ship at least is very close to invincible to demon levels which is pretty crazy. It also survived half of Sage Centipede's corpse falling on it.

Metal Knight's full power in the manga could be very well insane. My only worry is that they haven't been as consistent with the upgrades in the manga recently. Lightning Core Genos still lost his arm to a "fairly strong demon level threat" (guess they felt they couldn't imply he off-screened a dragon?), so I'm wondering that the careful upscaling from earlier might have been tossed aside for a more 1:1 approach, especially after the Ninja Village fiasco.

The potential for truly insane scale is already there in the webcomic, it only needs a little bit of polish and refurbishing to make the Organization arc go even crazier than the MA arc bar Garou.
