I'm not misreading this arc, right? Garou is specifically being written as the protagonist so far. Eventually he's going to fight Saitama while Saitama is paying attention to him and lose horribly, but as it is Garou is just a typical shounen hero who is fed up with what he sees as unjust 'justice' and wants to be a monster to fight against the system he hates. He's just straight up the protagonist - he's even trying to save some kid!

Garou's journey is more like Vegeta's during the Namek saga; he's an rear end in a top hat but he's our rear end in a top hat doing rear end in a top hat things

I wonder where we go after this. We've done Earth's defender, incredible medicine, DNA manipulation, sea monster, aliens, and now an incredible martial artist. How do we escalate? All I've got right now is something coming back from the future, androids, vampires, or demons.

Parallel universe Saitama, who trained so hard he grew 12 ft long hair. 100 sit-ups, 100 pull-ups, 100 squats, and 10km of swimming every day. And never turn the heating on in winter.

All I've got right now is something coming back from the future, androids, vampires, or demons. There's still a number of mysteries that have been hinted at but not yet resolved: (a) Who's the cyborg that destroyed Genos's town and killed his family? (b) What's the true agenda / allegiances of Metal Knight, and why did Drive Knight warn Genos against Metal Knight? (c) Who is Blast, and why has he been missing for so long? (d) Is Watchdog Man a man wearing a dog costume, or a giant dog holding a human head / mask in his mouth?

For those who wanted an explanation for Saitama's power this is the closest you're gonna get.

Now I want another explanation that completely contradicts this one.

Boros kind of just appeared as well, it's not like we got a lengthy plotline about him or whatever They can just introduce villains with fun personalities/powers and keep it going however long they want. As long as the comedy is good and the action is good I'm good

An obvious route would be to give Genos the spotlight for an arc, like they're giving Garou now

Didn’t expect that all to be explained. Good to see that those two did actually reform haha. (House of evolution). It’s funny how much my opinion on Garou has changed. At first I wanted him to be curb stomped badly (what he did to Mumen rider was unforgivable) but yeah he’s p much the protagonist of this arc. Part of me hopes he’ll end up just one punching the monster king haha

At this point I think Garou has gotten his rear end kicked as many times as Genos, if not more.

I'm pretty sure he's ranked Dragon, but given his origins and the power he displayed, he was probably a potential God threat, just like Boros. It was just Mother Nature's bad luck to have spawned him near Saitama.
