Blast has normal human strength and speed, he just bends spacetime so he has more time to do things.

Honestly even if this were the last arc I feel like it'd still take a few years worth of updates to wrap everything up

I hope after this we ping pong back down to lower stakes and a clan of werewolves attack the cities like how we went from Vaccine Man to the giant; the meteor to Sea King and then Boros.

Running out of new threats aside from evil clones, androids, rogue AI, zombies, or something magical now.

I like how Garou keeps copying Saitama despite his obvious, extremely basic form. Like we were making fun of him but wolf boy seems to be getting SOMETHING out of it or he wouldn't bother, right?

This arc wasn't supposed to have world ending stakes in the first place lmao. There's a shitton of spectacle here

I'd argue that the existence of a Monster Association was always a world-ending threat. Even if we know they were no big deal for Saitama

I'm really curious where this goes next because the next arc in the webcomic was kinda all over the place, and in not a good way.

In French, "ou" is pronounced "oo", in Japanese it's more like saying "o" twice which ends up sounding a bit like "owe"

I've read the webcomic and I know what they're doing after this, but I'm fine with the manga.

I haven't felt like One Punch Man has had a long term goal it was aiming towards since the beginning so the detours and such haven't really bothered me. We have a few plot points from Genos like: 'Who's the android that destroyed his village/city/hometown/whichever word he specifically used? Can Metal Knight or Drive Knight be trusted? And there was the prophecy from just before Boros attacked that the Earth was in danger, and maybe Sweet Mask is also some kind of mutant from the House of Evolution like Zombieman is but that's about all I've got that I can think of.

This isn't like Stranger Things or The Umbrella Academy where they're trying to stop the apocalypse or something, so :shrug: I'm not too bothered.

If it helps, it's pronounced just like how a Japanese person would say "Hello" [in English] with Japanese phonemes, except with a G instead of an H at the beginning

It's Garo. Like row boat.

The ou is a more faithful transliteration (Hepburn) of how the japanese say the o sound in his name which completely ignores that most of the time an english reader encounters ou, it's like in you, so you naturally want to read it like Garoo, like kangaroo.

It's a case of bad editing, rather than bad translation really.

Yeah I probably would have gone with Garoh or Garow personally.

Maybe even something like Gahrow, so people don't think it's Gay-ro (lol). This might seem over the top, but apparently there are people who pronounce Mario as "Mayrio"

It's probably the most difficult language to learn for a primary English speaker.

Looks like someone hasn't tried Russian.
At least Japanese has rules to its language.

Garou's name isn't pronounced, it is merely alluded to with a stern glance.
