Bisse posted:The fart wouldn’t need to be nearly as forceful as it only needs to rapidly accelerate ~80kg of human to high speeds but nowhere near relativistic speeds judging from those panels. So just a hell of a fart but no nuclear explosions or light speed poop particles involved, sadly. But with equal and opposite reactions and all that and a fart having far less mass than a person by several orders of magnitude, would the fart gas have blasted off at light speed?

I see this graph as an illustration of Garou's perception, not a direct measurement of their actual power. At any given point, Saitama appears to Garou to be about twice as powerful, no matter how much Garou's power increases. It's kind of like dealing with the speed of light, where no matter how fast you're going, light waves are still going to appear to move at C relative to you. You literally cannot catch up with it. If Garou had gone back in time after getting his cosmic god powers and challenged Saitama before he even joined the Hero Association, the fight would have gone the same way.

Exactly. The answer to the question,"Is Saitama exponentially stronger than everybody else?" is "Yes" regardless of any and all other conditions.

https://cubari.moe/read/imgur/mUagtWL/1/17/ The narration seems pretty clear that his power level is actual increasing, and specifically increasing because of his 'upsurge in emotions', not just Garou's perception of him.

Personally, I think if Saitama had been in any of these fights pre 'training that made me go bald' he would've been destroyed like Genos.

The idea that his power wasn't already infinite might seem like it came out of left field but it actually matches what we've seen from his training days. He was already inhumanly but not infinitely strong before he became bald I think the way Saitama's strength is defined - and what his full baldness coincides with - isn't infinite strength, it's being the strongest. Like it says on the "Strongest Hero" title card after he beats Boros in the anime. This was also consistent through the whole fight with Garou

It's been implied before he is always getting stronger too - like the side comic where he beats the VR simulation of himself from the day before and is like 'why would I have any trouble beating myself from yesterday?' to Genos, who's mind is blown by this. To me the implication of the comic is just that the process of him getting massively better every day was compressed and accelerated to getting massively better ever second.

It'd be interesting to read a comic about a onepunchman who didn't have the impossibly durable body of Saitama. Someone who can just oneshot anything but is still vulnerable to damage

Saitama is never punching Gatou at full power, he's intentionally punching him with non-leathal intent. As Garou copies him, Saitama needs to land a punch of additional appropriate power to hurt him again at Garou's new power level. It's not so much that he is 'growing' in power, he's just using more than he has ever had the need for back on earth, drawing more from the well of his infinite power.

Much like how Garou has been exponentially increasing in power after every major threat he’s faced in this arc, Saitama becomes even more obscenely OP the second he meets someone capable of keeping his attention for more than one punch

The narration also led me to believe that Saitama was getting stronger during his fight with Garou. Every time Garou used his copy powers to catch up, Saitama would just leave him in the dust again. The SNEEZE was demonstrating that. I mean, the things the people are saying here would be cooler from a meme perspective, but that's not what was written.

Let's go silly with the whole Saitama growth thing in different direction: this is not the first time this has happened. The dream fight against the subterranean race from the beginning was completely real and the Subterranean King was actually strong enough for Saitama to develop the same time travel powers by the time he defeated him. Because the attack of fully powered subterranean race would destroy 80% of mankind by default, he decided to give up his one shot at challenging fight, used his time travel powers to heavily cripple their strength and then snapped back to the Saitama who was just waking up, thinking the whole thing was a dream.

Changing the entire premise of your comic just so a character can beat superman in VSbattles. Which is funny bc ONE already confirmed Saitama could destroy the entire universe in 2 punches. One in each direction

Sometimes I think it might have been cool if we never got to see this fight at all. Just have God Garou show up, then naked Saitama shows up out of nowhere and punches him out, fuses with his past self, and we never get an explanation for what the gently caress happened. But then again, I don't think I want to give up Saitama's Fart Technique for anything so

Yeah it would've ruled if it had been 34 pages looking at all the heroes and Tareo that died from Christian radiation and then Saitama and Garou both came crashing down to Earth. Bonus points if we can't see what's happening because turning the camera to look there would require the cameraman to be alive but he's dead too, so everything's off frame. I'm sure they're already out there but I can't wait for One Punch Man to inspire other stories like it, and for us to get one where we don't see any action, just people dealing with the aftermath of mountains being inverted and part of the planet being pulled out into space like a needle because someone made a tornado way too strong that it pulled up tectonic plates too.

I've seen some stories like that, to varying degrees. Astro City did it with western comics, being mostly about people who have to deal with that kind of nonsense (like a comicbook writer whose office is attacked by supervillains who are mad about defamation of character, or a guy whose wife was erased from history in a crisis crossover), and Sunred has some of it in chronicling the daily life of a semi-retired sentai hero and the 'evil' organization that opposes him, with actual fights being mostly skipped over as unimportant. Oh, and on an even smaller scale, there's Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues, the Kaiji spin-off about the people making weird gambling games.

I think that Sunred is significant precedent for One Punch Man, being a superhero-themed comedy about a hero who greatly outclasses his enemies and is dissatisfied with the absence of a serious challenge.
