Topic	The top 9 most powerful characters in the big 3 shonen anime (major spoilers)
GiftedACIII 09/09/22 5:59:30 AM #34:	buns posted... the problem with this: "Saitama's power was BOOSTED by the fight on Io" and Garou said that the punch Saitama gave him after the time travel was even stronger than the initial punches. They're clearly trying to highlight that Saitama isn't all-powerful anymore, is that none of it implies he has a limit -- he may have regressed power-wise but there's nothing there saying he can't go back to that level if something challenges him. the mechanism in play is that he rises up and over whatever is in his way -- garou was what forced him highest, so far. Saitama actually ~~went serious out of rage and grief.~~ you're ignoring that ~~tareo told him not to kill him and that he was fighting one-handed.~~ Oh yeah, it's not that he has a limit. In fact, it does seem like he doesn't have a limit, he just constantly grows. But it does show that he isn't all-powerful and that he can feasibly be one-shotted if someone far beyond his level destroys him before he has the chance to grow to their level. The mechanism in play isn't that he rises up and over whatever is in his way. That's fanboy headcanon wanking. The mechanism in play is that he gets exponentially stronger the more emotional he is and as time goes on-basically just Metal Bat's power on steroids. Also that Tareo line just meant that Saitama doesn't finish Garou off at the end. Saitama clearly intended to kill him with that initial serious punch that was so strong it would've destroyed Earth if Blast didn't redirect it. Afterwards if Saitama actually had the power he should've been able to instantly knock Garou out or at least not give Garou the chance to consistently counter him. He was clearly genuinely angry and serious with his glowing eyes and clenched teeth. And then the graph outright shows that Saitama at the beginning was only slightly stronger than Garou. Not enough to be able to beat Garou instantly, but also enough that Garou can't beat him. Only after he grew exponentially did he stop taking Garou seriously as well. Sorry, but Manga Saitama has lost the all-powerful strength the webcomic version implied he had. --- </topic> <cite>GiftedACIII posted [p:967898059] in The top 9 ...
