Yeah, agreed. Saitama being totally checked out about just about everything because he's depressed lines up pretty cleanly with the events of the comic.

I mean yeah, and obviously as comic readers we can see that but it's not like anyone in the story can pick up on that yet. What Saitama needs is either more down to Earth friends like King and Mumen Rider or to be able to hang out with them more often.

This is not a webcomic spoiler this is a speculation thing

I'm still waiting for Flashy Flash and Atomic Samurai to team up sometime. Mostly because I want to see how fast those slices are from his perspective. Are they still moving or do they just pause in place? The choreography for that will be insane and I can't wait to see it one year.

Watching this again made me think of it. Years of experience with Dante doing Royal Guards and jumping to dodge Judgement Cuts aside, I don't think I've ever seen someone actually dodging every individual slice like this.

The end of the arc, prior to the redraw, had Blast appear behind Empty Void out of nowhere and body him. I think One saw this and went “uh, there’s no stakes in this” and upped the ante by having the dude absorb Garou’s god powers.

I am lol’ing that a half-dead ninja appeared just at the right time for a reverse-causality punch to defeat Garou, like anyone could have anticipated it at all. That’s quite the asspull right there.

Blast isn’t weak, he was able to redirect Cosmic Garou’s nuclear punches + was acknowledged by him. He’s definitely able to take on multiple dragon class monsters with his abiltiies. The baddies are just on another level this time.

and he’s also being compared to a guy who accidentally obliterated Saturn and its moon with a sneeze.

I must've had a different chapter because all I saw was Blast being the first one to actually hit 'That Man' in the fight. I assumed he would then get back up next chapter.

I figure Blast is much stronger than the rest of the hero association with the exception of Saitama, but his real power is time traveling and teleportation. Gives him a lot more chances of survival against impossible fights he can revisit later.

Not necessarily, he could very well have powers to sense great energy being availible to absorb, and then just teleported there, OR, if he doesnt, surely "god" does, and could have told him to get his rear end over there. I think it works without issue with what we have seen so far.

If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

This feels like they are tying the two arcs together more. The new arc is a direct result of Garou's battle. I like this change.

Also, I highly approve of Saitama's choice of curry udon. 🍛

Yeah if I remember right you never get to see THAT MAN, he picks and instantly loses a fight with Saitama completely off-page before Flash and Sonic even arrive, and a bored Saitama gives them his weapons since he's got no use for them. I loved that and I do kinda hope the same thing happens again in this version, but probably it won't.

If God is a higher dimensional being they could've watched the entire Saitama vs Garou fight and figured out where it was going to end and placed the guy in the right spot, or told him to go there.
