Metal Bat is going to gently caress Garou's entire world now that his sister is in a dangerous spot.

It's going to be beautiful.

Metal Bat feels literally like Ryuji Danma. Maybe I just want more GTO in my life (The Early Years in this specific case).

- a sound investment!
This storyline has done a pretty good job of protecting Metal Bat since he was fighting several Demon level monsters and a Dragon before Garou got to him. It's a good way for him to lose (if he does) and makes me excited for the eventual chapter where Metal Bat is training or fighting and remembers Garou's words about a lack of technique, just like Pri Pri remembering Sea King admonishing his lack of killing intent during the fight with Melzagard.

There's also the possibility of Metal Bat's little sister having equal/superior skills and they BOTH clean Garou's clock.

Garou is caught off-guard by this and decides to run the gently caress out of there, status quo preserved.

It'll turn out that Metal Bat's sister has powers like Tatsumaki and Fubuki only her's is healing through her voice.

This gives Metal Bat the strength to fight again, letting him strike a home run on Garou and finally finish the job with Elder Centipede.

Saitama didn't beat that regenerating thing with the marbles in it. In fact, it was Metal Bat that figured out how to beat it.:colbert:

GTO is basically the reason I fell in love with Bancho style, so yeah, I could always use more.

I hadn't noticed before that Metal Bat is basically Shonan Ryuji, though.

Time to sleep.
I sorta want the next frame to just be Garou looking at MB's little sister and then the one after that is just him getting hit by the bat, perhaps in the face and perhaps the frame is a POV shot. Just "huh, who's that kid?" followed immediately by pain.

That's not a power, that's FAMILY SPIRIT!

With Metalbats sister, the most I expect is that she'd be a reverse power limiter. When she's around his power doubles or some such since he has to look out for her. That or she'll ask him to come home and help with the new kittens and that's how the fight ends...

My prediction is that Garou will try to hurt her and that will trigger Metal Bat's FAMILY SPIRIT, where he gets up, knocks back Garou, and then escapes with his sister.

A delinquent having a sister that is actually also strong & fighty is such a delinquent trope that now im gonna be disappointed if his sister doesnt just kick garou's rear end.


edit: Also got me thinking, Tanktop Vegetarian combines the versatility of the tank top with the nutritional value of vegetables to really get a lot of power, but do we know of any other tank toppers who try to limit break by combining the versatility & freedom of a tank top with something else?

If Tank Top Blackhole really wanted to advance he should combine the power he gains from the versatility of the tank top with something like maybe grip enhance gloves, which enhance the natural grip of the body and work in tandem with the freedom provided by the tank top to double his grip strength.

Nah dude, it's his little sister. A delinquent's older sister is always stronger than him and probably runs a motorcycle gang or something, but his younger sister must always be protected.

She doesn't want to be a hero, she wants to be a musician/dancer. Remember how Metal Bat is always talking about her recitals? She's gonna capoeira the gently caress out of the place when she sees her brother.

These are both great speculations and I'm so hyped to see the reveal.

Unlike Tatsumaki, when she kills a monster, it's not nearly as clean. So she refuses to be an actual hero because it's too much of a pain to deal with being drenched in monster blood when you're trying to get to class. Between her and her brother's hero work, there's more than enough blood for the household to deal with.

Also she's got a 17:25 win/loss against her brother for arm wrestling.

Both Saitama and Genos weren't even registered from the start and there are obviously non-hero peeps like Sonic and Garou who are plainly S-Class level, so it totally makes sense there are lots of folks out in the world who are potentially really strong but just don't try, give a poo poo, or haven't come into their own.

Also, just as a music tangent, this man is doing metal proud:

Lady heroes aren't really realistic to the world of OPM because I don't know if it's possible to get the flexibility and freedom allowed by a tank top if you've also got to wear a bra.
