King had his bravest moment yet, standing up against the Hero Association... and winning.
I think King has conqueror's haki. head canon

Kinda cool that Genos was the only one to remember all the events that happened, and not just the readers. It’s only going to further tighten his attachment to Saitama. Now he sees him as more of just a sensei or a hero, but most likely an actual God.
m
Yes the lord is here
Yoo welcome Legend.
Very few know Saitama. King knows it, Genos, I'm sure Silverfang knows.
@@FatalFist silver fang knows and so does garou. I cant wait for the next arc
11:05 this part with king was badazz, like bruh he was actually serious and not scared, and he shut ami mask up so quick😭
He actually was scared. But honestly it's hard to tell in this scene. How do I know? The King Engine is actually the sound of Kings heart beating so fast that you can hear it.
Dudes always scared out of his mind. But maybe not in this scenario
I think King got tired of their bull crap.
Lol he was scared
@@edwardkenway7982 no it was clearly out of anger, heart rate increases in fight or flight which is either fear or anger, and within the context its obvious that its anger
@@zackalil2920 Nah, you are wrong
to me Garou is the best example of an excellently written antagonist.
If only dragon ball followed that, oh yea dbz, too bad dbs made it bad
anti-hero
Why
I think the version of Garou in the webcomic is a bit more well written
@@AnyHeroBlake I think in general the WC is better written while the manga imo turned into just another shonen (opm was supposed to be a satire of shonen not just another one )
Lol I love how casually Saitama follows Garou's escape while everyone else is still looking at the ground.
this was the same in the original webcomic
Just showcases that even at that weakened state, garou could have blasted them all into bits, if saitama wasn't around.
nah, they got shocked for a second they knew he escaped, but didn't know where he went.
@@manip1980not really.
The fact that Genos is now canonically aware of the fact that Saitama can sneeze away Jupiter's gas cloud is hilarious.
Or fart so hard he travels faster than the speed of light
Or literally flip a planets crust like it's nothing
After so many years, this arc has finally come to an end, and it was beautiful
Nope, it's still going. It only ends when it's fully animated.
Idk, I kinda hate how he didn't remember what happened. I feel like all that character development was just tossed
@@spinesauce2687
it's kinda stupid, but isnt that the entire point?
Im sure genos is going to show him a replay of it sometime in the next ark, probably whenever the whole "god" thing comes to fruition.
And honestly, the only character development we were ever going to get is saitama getting pissed that he missed his own penultimate battle as he 1HKO's god or some shit lol
The super serious character development has been played for laughs with saitama from day 1, I really dont get the expectation that he was going to become some fleshed out character when he still hasnt in the original comic
@@spinesauce2687 Keep in mind, the chapter hinted that Garou may have some memory or idea of what happened. At the very least it seems that he’s aware *something* unnatural occurred
It was awful art carried
POV: when the cool kid steals your joke
I think Genos having a copy of his core will give him a considerable upgrade. He’d be able to either last longer or have higher power output once it’s installed.
Assuming the core is still usable, of course.
Since it did start up i do believe it's usable
Pair of balls
@@justineazrort2708 he got some pretty interesting balls
@KLPH KLPH literal balls of steel
@@justineazrort2708 i will gobble them
Genos is playing the role of the imprinted audience here.. good choice. It will be interesting to see if he goes 'dual core processor' Genos. That is one hell of a way to write in a power-up for a character. What a cool story arc.
Wait till he gets his Core i7 upgrade. 😁
But Genos really needs to learn how to upgrade and fix himself, Dr Kuseno is old and might die soon.
I have a felling Genos will have the ability to project his memories after his next upgrade. Then he will actually show other members like Bang and King what went down between saitama and garou
Ok that would be perfect!!! Damn! Where you get that brain from 🧠
it is the most rasonable thing for him to do when he gets the oportunity to do so, just pop in a display port on his core and conect him to a 4k display and his internal procesor should do the rest
Thats cool but it would defeat the story of one punch man. From the start, no one knows that saitam is super strong unless they saw them in action. If he can project his memory then he could just do it to promote saitama. Sure, they can claim it is fake but it would make others aware how strong he is. Even though king and silver fang knows he is strong, they dont know how strong he is. Only genos knows. That is the point of the story atleast.
@@raymatp1 it would defeat the recurring gag, but that is not the point of the story at all, ONE has explained before that meanwhile almost every story starts with his protagonist weak and the whole story is about how he grows and fulfills his goals, one punch man is the oposite, it is an story that starts with a protagonist that has already reached the end of his story arc, he reached his peak and is now living his "happy ending" where everthing is boring now that he has done everything he wanted, imagine dragon ball but there where absolutly no big villan in the same power level after freezer in namek and goku returned to earth, goku was the strongest by a lot and there would be nothing for him to do but to train maindlessly without any exitement, it would be torture and that is what saitama lives, that is one punch man at its core and not just a comedy, nobody knows what saitama can do or has done but saitama would not win anything from everyone knowing either besides being anoyed constantly, as he said "a true hero doens't need glory" he just wants to live his life in peace and boredom being a hero for fun on the side
@@nezothgarone2319 dude, at what point did i ask that saitam get his glory? If you read my comment, im oppose in the idea that genos gets a memory projector for the same reason your long ass comment talks about.
Does anyone realize how ridiculous flashy flash is for being able to see upgraded saitama, even if only a glimpse.
Considering how he's behaved in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if he's just bluffing
Flashy Flash always been ridicilous, while pushing himself he managed to weave around casual Saitama for some time. Better yet, Garou while beaten to a pulp quite literally blitzed every S class hero, that's even more crazy lol.
Wow so Genos absorbed the memories of the now lost future timeline?! At least he now knows what happened and how much he really means to his Sensei.
I think Saitama remembers, but is playing dumb. It fits Saitama's mmo about giving credit to others.
I need to blow my nose man
@@cainabel6356 i’d agree if it didnt involve him remembering time travel. That’s a but much for him to have.
@@cainabel6356 No, two narration arrows in the chapter denies that he remembers.
@@peronkop - Not really. There is one that says he does remember, since he gives King the plan.
I think Saitama does remember, but he plays dumb. We all remember all the times that Saitama gives credit to everyone else about destroying the big threats to other heroes. One piece of evidence is that he told King to stick up for Garou and claim he and the heroes defeated Garou, also telling him that Garou saved everyone's lives from the monsters.
I am also glad that Metal Bat sided with Garou, in keeping him alive.
Yeah. I wondered about that too. Or Genos probably told Saitama that garou save everyone.
imagine if the time-traveling saitama did some trolling and let the fight happen over and over just to farm genos cores
grinding for that S-Tier gear
Saitama:here is my automatic time machine that farms genoes core
Genos gonna STRONK
Infinite Core Glitch Farm 20.22 (unpatched)
Sweet Mask: *Speak against King.*
King: *Stares at with cold anger.*
Sweet Mask: Sorry. Ill shut up now.
“I felt a bit-light headed”
Meanwhile, I can’t help but compare Genos to Light from Death Note when he got his memories back.
I do see the similarities, I wonder if ONE/Murata took inspiration from Death Note because of how similar the situation is.
You can say that Genos was there with Saitama for the whole fight between Saitama and Garou. So Genos has every reason to believe that Garou will be a repeater of the deeds he has done, especially since Garou doesn't remember the future events like Genos does. Saitama's memory is still questionable as to whether or not he remembers the future at this point. It could be a delayed reaction to the event itself.
He will probably do something with that knowledge.
He will probably do something with that knowledge.
@@Yeahagreed *dementia*
@@Bready- 😂
@@Yeahagreed amnesia
Let's be honest.
If Saitama remembered what kind of power growth he had we would've all been satisfied, let alone if everyone knew what he did to save them all too, but that's what most studios do. Just hide the power. There aren't many animes that actually allow the MC to have all the praises for having such power.
I think Saitama does remember, he is just playing dumb. Everytime he has beaten the main threat, he lets others gain the credit on purpose. That is why he went to King and told him about Garou saving them and how he wanted him and the other heroes to take the credit.
I also believe that Garou gets to keep that new found power, some of it. The so called god will not be able take it back or do anything to Garou.
@@cainabel6356 I also think that he kind of does remember, at least some of the memories, however this time it's somewhat heavily hinted that Saitama genuinely doesn't remember and what mostly makes me belive that is the fact that he keeps denying that more than before.
And honestly I do hope it's like you say, cause him remembering what kind of power he holds it's soo amazing. I bet when he will fight God he will remember if he did forget.
@Therockobservingtime - That could be the possibility.
Well that's what Saitama is, a hero that nobody knows his strength/ see him fight. Even when heroes do they make it look like luck or something
It really doesn't matter if Saitama retains the Jupiter Power or not, because it is established that Saitama will simply grow at an exponential rate to overcome whatever he is fighting.
Now that this arc is coming to an end, hopefully it'll mean a new season of the anime isn't far behind.
hey thats next year
@@Hamperter Has that been confirmed?
Probably the third season wont pass chapter 100. Because this is probably like 24-48 episodes of content
@@PeixeDeEstoque I'll take it. I just want to see more One Punch Man anime. They don't need to rush it to this conclusion. Take their time and do it right.
Genos now has knowledge of the God entity that only blast and those others had, along with the calculations and techniques of Garou and Saitama in their i guess cosmic forms that he can relay to the doctor to help with his future upgrades not to mention the core he can give him with all the info stored on it. If this doesn't affect either how Genos is progressed in power or the doctor either seeking out this God for knowledge in creating something stronger for revenge then i feel like it would be a missed opportunity.
GENOS IS GOING TO GET (not serious) SAITAMA LEVEL OF STRENGTH AND SPEED SOON..?
@@magentaplatinum1430 dont be Silly that wont happen and you know that, because it doesnt make sense.
@@PeixeDeEstoque listen, if Garou was able to (logically because of the powerboost as battle drags on) go par on par with the weakest version of caped-baldy, I'm pretty sure Genos could too. I mean, we'd need to get some characters at least get speed that can be comparable to saitama or strength if the writer wants the main cast to go against GOD
It doesn't matter how strong genos gets. He will always get completely folded by the next main villain lol. Genos biggest L taker in the verse
@@SJNaka101 he's like the vegeta of one punch man
My theory for what happened to Saitama when his future and present selves merged is that maybe his future memories are kind of suppressed in his subconscious and he will need a trigger to cause those memories to come back. Maybe witness a similar experience with all his close friends being in serious danger will cause him to regain his future memories and possibly get a huge power boost due to that sealing all his future selves power. Or maybe similar to how Genos learn of what happened in the other timeline coming into contact with another item from that future will cause Saitama to remember. All i know is to me that Saitama could of just forgotten everything his future self experienced.
Chapter 169 sets up for so much stuff in the future, yea yea everyone forgot what happened (except genos), but I feel like Murata won’t easily abandon this time travel idea/concept
Oh, for sure. I bet Genos will find a way to teach Saitama time travel or some other dimensional nonsense.
@@oberzen208 Genos did say something like that right? Unless I misread
@@oberzen208 Genos just needs to conect his core to a display or TV and let Saitama watch his memories when garou tought the time manipulation tecnique, done xD
@@oberzen208 actually all saitama needs to do, is just look at the technique and boom already copied. People be underrating saitama battle iq
@@PeixeDeEstoque More of it's just the motivation to do so, given the guy already one-shots all but a handful of things and his infinite growth keeps it that way. Garou pretty much had to tempt & pressure him into doing so ("Do it and find out what happens" more or less) along with 'god's' voice ringing out as he turns Garou to a salt statue shutting up any debate.
I'm really impressed still with how ONE is still keeping Saitama's power a secret to everyone even after revealing it and using the "time travel plot" just to keep this series going. it's what makes this series good is that the hidden power of Saitama and everyone not knowing it.
I'm sure everyone by now agrees that this series is at the top of masterpieces
Umm that was not in the original webcomic Blast, gods involvement, time travel, Jupiter Moon fight (most of it happened in the Z city including table flip) not any of them and everyone withness the fight but because it was dark and Garou and Saitama were moving too fast only a couple of people comprehended what happened
@@Kangstor lets be honest, nobody really cares about the original webcomic, the manga and webcomic are so different now that both saitamas are not even the same character anymore
@@OGTwist somewhat true but the one that ONE (who op thoght had the idea of time travel) designed and wrote is webcomic current manga events like you said more of Murata or whoever writing scripts for manga brainchild. Also webcomic still continues and have just as many if not more fans following it for the story.
How is that impressive? 2 IQ comment.
Yep
Man i still can't believe i Almost Cried over a Villain in this anime .They make garou Such a Interesting,well develop Antagonist Ever existed in any anime ever.The way Future garou desolve in front takeo ( sorry if i butcher his name ) like that is Heart breaking.
What about Obito? lol
Wow you almost cried? Such a freak nerds here, disgusting
I cried over meruem
yup 😢
That would be cool if garou would become the vegeta of one punch man, just picture saitama and garou battling each other for fun pushing each other to get even stronger.
The hair shape is McDonald's not the hairline so its acceptabpe
But Garou isn’t as strong as Cosmic Garou and he already perfected his God Fist technique. Hell, who is to say he hasn’t reverted back to being human again, meaning his monster form/strength is lost entirely. He would be stronger then what he was before monsterization, but weaker then his unconscious monster Garou self.
Not that kind of anime, OPM will end if someone can match saitama.
Lord King just needed to bust out the Engine and everybody came back to their senses
Kings powers can also Know the future that's why he actually didn't Lose at all cause his powers knew that he'll be back in the past and nothing will actually happen to him
So obvious, king is too much of a goat to actually lose
I still say king summoned saitama from a possible future where he was strong enough to stop garou when he was going to die. Once clone saitama from a 'potential future' as saved king, he is no longer controlled by king's power and the paradox of a non-existing saitama is returned to the real saitama
@@calvinwilson3617 king went /summon opm:saitama 💀
Genos did see the time travelling, I mean he even said it has been confirmed a new Saitama was separated from him upon going back in time, and thus the original original is still there with nothing left. I mean it would be nice to see what happens to him... Could he be persuaded by god to go back in time for real and be the evil Saitama everyone is talking about? Anyways I think Genos is reflecting on the fact that Garou never experienced that epiphany and is therefore bound to repeat. Or he is foreshadowing something? Who knows? But I really hope Murata and One won't suddenly stop this before it all comes to an end.
With Garou, I feel like where this is heading, Garou gets a chance to go down any kind of different path now from that one. My guess is he’s gonna keep having similar experiences where he finds himself and what he truly wants to be for the greater good of mankind but before he really makes the decision, god will try to grant him power again but that time Garou will be more in tune with himself and the fact that Garou would never “borrow” power to begin with. I think I understand now why he ended up doing that in the alternate future, because Garou already lost faith in himself and wanted to die by that time anyway so he metaphorically gave his soul to the devil, or as he’s called here “god”. It didn’t matter to him what it was at the time. So I think next time Garou will tell him to shove it up his ass. I’m calling it with this theory
The saitama of that time is definitely with blast and friends now.
Well, we all saw the future saitama and present merge, so that future don't exist anymore.
@@deadserious9515 i agree
Wtf evil saitama? You guys need to chill with those theories .
A punch so strong and fast it went back in time and landed before it was thrown, that’s actually really badass
I love the fact that only Genos knows all the events. It make much more sense from a story point of view. It's a retcon without actually retconning the powers. Genos just like Garou can teach Saitama to pull the move again from enacting his memory if and when it's needed in a future battle against God. Also, it perfectly sums up his relationship with his sensei as the first and only one to truly know all of Saitama's accomplishments.
I think King just did soemthing very interested here. His King Engine was supposedly his heart audibly beating because of how scared he was, but he had nor reason to be scared here, they all already won. Unless he was scared of seeing a bunch of costumed dudes picking Garou appart like an army of ants.
Probably the frustration or anxiety kicking in.
Happens to me:
My body reacts similarly when I am scared and when I am genuinely enraged.
But that is kust my speculation for king.
I like how Genos goes, "He'll probably be a repeat offender." Like all matter of factly and in his robot fashion haha
King has 2 Powers, on their own, they are not THAT good, but together, turn you into a god.
Luck, and fear.
Most monster or people fear you so much that they don't even bother to fight or go against you, but when you found someone with enought confidence, Luck just comes and saves your ass, and "beating" them by that method just makes you "fear" stronger.
I don't know if there will be a point where he will be found out, but I really hope that it doesn't happen, because the legend of "King" has saved so many people up until now.
Saitama is a Deus Ex Machina set in centerstage. There’s no character development but there’s a constant explanation of the morality that usually guides a Deus Ex Machcina to be needed. Garou’s the redeemed anti-hero, genos’ is the viewer, King’s the Deus Ex Machina squared (lol he sets in and solves a situation literally by working magic, as in he has no ability but extreme bluff).
This show is so much fun for me!
it was awesome seeing everybody backing off and letting king do what he wanted, they always make king look super badass even though we all know he was scared to even stand there and talk.
Normally i hate retcons but it was so well executed in this instance. Great work from Murata and One as usual.
I feel like Saitama is so powerful because of the merging. If it happened this time around who's to say his true power isn't a fail safe of finding another universe with a better path. He wouldnt remember it. The merging of 2 saitamas would double power everytime and allow him to overcome failures.
Did his power actually double when future and past self merge. I don't think so.
@@briankao6833 we don’t know if it _didnt_ , though. Take that passive aggressive shit out of here.
@@briankao6833 we’ll have to see it be confirmed
I dont think his power would merge its just he being merging back into one due to a disruption in time
I mean his future self and past self were compared to each other as positive and negative. just like magnets they were attracted to each other. Stacked magnets are stronger.
So glad King is okay he's definitely a favorite character of mine
your way of expressing is crazy ,till now i didn't saw any others video i was waiting for yours
I wonder why no one takes genos's statement of "A new you separated from the original you at the start of the time travel, and merged with the you of this timeline when it was completed".
Saitama didn't fully time travel, there's just a part of him that separated, like a clone and that was the one that time travelled.
So there's still another saitama in a parallel universe that:
- lost genos and king
- didn't save anyone because he arrived late
- drove by guilt, and had actually felt an emotion which was malice
- pissed that his home was destroyed
- going to fish whatevers left of his apartment alone
and this saitama:
- copied garou's techniques
- and still has the massive power growth from jupiter.
Theory of evil saitama's not so far fetched.
for someone who’s only watched the anime, hearing how jupiter was ever so casually just half destroyed is a shock
Garou is the story of how "i am the villain but am cursed to always be the hero" where no matter what horrible things he does, it ends up being for the greater good.
the scale of this fight was increased massively, but not as massive as king getting Amai mask to shut up with just a glare.
I have a strong feeling that saitama remembers everything.
Same here. He is just playing dumb. Let us face it, he does it all the time and gives credit to everyeone else.
@@cainabel6356 his not playing... his naturally dumb to begin 🤣
@@cainabel6356 there is always that one mf. There was literally a ballon pointing at his head he wasnt listening and doesnt remember. Saitama from the future is a different timeline. That saitama still exist but not on this saitama timeline
@@cainabel6356 probably killed the monster that made king a hero😂
didn't the manga say that he didn't remember anything in one of the panels?
Hey I love your videos keep up the good work
Great video I enjoyed it very much keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching
Dude this is fire
That was awesome how King beat Garou ! He really is the strongest hero of all ! Yay King !
Thanks for explaining
How in the WORLD did I miss this video yesterday?! I was even waiting for it! 😵💫
I hope he shares the info with the other heros or Dr. Kuseno at least
no, just Dr. Kuseno
Ive been waiting for this
King holding Tatsumaki really adds an extra layer of icing on how powerful he appears to others
Dude, when King silenced Amai with a fkin stare I died XD
I can't wait for when Genos body gets rebuilt. He'll have a ton of upgrades. Remember what the initial core was supposed to do for him. Now he has 2 synched...
Watch it eventually have a "hero replication mode" just in very small bursts depending on hero to ability and core
The data to process the speeds alone just upgraded Genos and had him crashing... When the doc sees it oh man.
Plus he is now the only one there with a good profile on Blast
I hope genos will get more memories from the core and tell saitama to go back in time
I think Saitama remembers everything, but is playing dumb like usual. The evidence is telling King about stuff and telling him and the other heroes to take credit for Garou's defeat.
I was waiting just for your vid
So... King's superpower is actually conquerors haki in OPM. At this point think the future knowledge isn't just Genos and (maybe) Garou but someone in the group surrounding Blast. At this point 'good guys' will probably be the next 'bad guy' for Saitama with genos being the only 'bad guy' who knows why 'the good guys' are coming after Saitama... unless they continue on with god as the enemy which seems a bit early and repeating of this arc.
I love how after everything, ONE & Murata managed to connect it back to the webcomic. Love how they handled the majority of problems and fights. Although I am disappointed that One Punch Man is now in a Multiverse like state, the fighting and storytelling overlaps that problem so no complaint on my side. I'm guessing that Saitama will move into the Hero Association after he finds sum of his stuff alongside Rover and the remaining cell. New beginnings awaits and I'm here for it! It's finally over guys, we did it. 🥂
it's not necessarily in a multi verse like state that's just one thing genos got wrong it, it's like One was making fun of crazy anime tubers, it's actually the same universe with two different time frames or 'possible universe' and at the subatomic level causality doesn't work the usual way there events do not necessarily have a cause it's like you were already awake before you woke up from sleep and you did it by your own choice because in this theory each possible future moments lies in a state of rest and are awakened only when the choice is made in present this is what Saitama did as well and Garou was right if anyone had what it takes to survive from that ominous future and make things right again it was Saitama, his main strength is limitless will power
@@noonereally3252 🤝 I sure hope you're right
After such a breathtaking, suspenseful and incredible arc... after the world has been saved with everyone on it...
Metal knight: I have arrived.
No, seriously. What the hell. This piece of - am I allowed to say crap? - was perfectly content with watching everyone die or get destroyed, either by Garou or the monster association before him. Without a hint of shame, he only comes up when he's sure the threat is over. Cowardly bastard

I kind of wish the manga chapters were longer. More material. I guess it is because I want to see more. LOL!
@@cainabel6356 well now come the saitama vs tatsumaki
I think genos is going to get a major power up because his second core not only because of the extra power but the battle data from cosmic garou and saitamas fight. Genos always evolves based on past experiences . He did after deep sea king, the meteor , and elder centi. This opens the door for genos to continue to keep up with saitamas strength story wise since the monsters are only gunna get stronger.
I wonder if Genos could share his memories of the alternate timeline? Since he got them from his core that means they're in a digital format (not locked inside neurons in a brain) so in theory he could find a way to show them to others.
I've been waiting for you good sir! Keep it up! You're such a legend
One punch man is the best battle manga period. this is one of the best endings to an arc i have seen. Everyone was satisfied
Not "everyone" a majority of ppl arent satisfied cus saitama forgot his memories and nobody saw his real strength, according to the "majority" im talking about
For me, one and murata missed the chance of giving the credit of the killing blow to King. Not only that, they even blow King's cover. Initially, King was credited for using the cannon against platinum s and evil ocean. As flashy flash said, they didnt see who punched garou but only saw he was naked. If King was naked, everyone would think he was the one who punched him. That aligns with his story and even aligns with him deciding to save garou from other heroes.
'so who's truly the hero?' >implying garou is a hero despite being literally responsible for all of their deaths
He was influenced by God. I'm guessing had God not intervened, Garou may have able to be talked down during that therapy session with Saitama.
Great video
So this proves that saitama is incapable of resisting some universal forces such as merging timelines. The fact that he couldn’t remember the previous timeline shows that saitama does not possess “one above all” power status and was “defeated” by the forces of time to make him lose his memory
True the guy forgets things all the time. We saw that when he took on the house of evolution on a super market bargain sale day.
You know what's a cool thought with that second core genos could have a significant power boost cause we all saw his peak against the monster association leader and honestly even though one core wasn't able to output that monstrous power for long the secondary core can open up alot of possibilities plus considering the amount of cosmic radiation it was exposed to from space itself as well as what garou was giving off I believe that second core could have absorbed an incredible amount of power if my theory is right that core has the potential to hold power that could potentially rival garou or even surpass him plus the doctor that originally built genos core could possibly harness and make the power of the current core genos has be even stronger than it originally was this is just a theory I have at the moment
"Because we as reader should have more of an attention span than caped baldy"
Me, who saw all those words and went "yep genos is rambling, next page" *nervous sweating*
I love how the only moment where blast shows up goes up is him I'm getting absolutely demolished
Garou has always been right. The “heroes” aren’t heroes. They, are workers. And that’s if I give them the best option for what they are. They do their job for pay.
At they’re worst, as terrible as they are, narcissistic. There isn’t any professional capacity for what they are.
If we define them as “Heroes” any and all definitions of the word, the only one they fit would be “Someone who performs dangerous acts for pay” and that’s something that only exists in particular realities.
And they barely fit that at all. What we’ve seen of them, it’s always just a group of thugs. They kill monsters, like common mercenaries. Unlike professional merc’s, they don’t hide in the shadows and keep things professional, (not that PMC’s DON’T become dicks but that’s just how things are, they might, or might not be dicks)
No, they bask in admiration, and stoke their egos. The amount of damage they do in regular combat is a sickening display of how little they care. Saitama just is overpowered, when he swings, even holding back, he’s liable to level a city. So he lives in a place nobody else does, it’s cheap, and he won’t kill several people when he sneezes.
But the rest of the heroes? They arrive to a call, and start hunting the monster, blasting area obliterating attacks all over with no regard for human life.
Do they all do that? No. Lower class hero groups have shown coordination, with specialists who can evacuate civilians, heavy hitters to take down threats, tanks to take hits for their team and civilians alike.
We’ve seen some synergy. But it isn’t even remotely close to the norm. Take the Tank Top Crew. A group of muscle bound assholes, who punch things. When faced with an enemy, not a single one said “we should make sure the area is clear of civilians” they are a group of strong individuals, if they cared about people, they’d split the squad, into damage control, and damage dealers.
The Lead Tank Tops aren’t any better, certainly not “Leading by example” unless they intend to teach that everyone is inferior to them, and only they matter. When they face Saitama, which of course he shrugs off, they do it in a crowded street. With people watching, in order to try and put Saitama down, and make themselves look good. And yet, with the strength they had, if Saitama had decided to show off his speed, dodge a hit at the wrong time, they would have killed someone.
They, don’t care. Other heroes who don’t care are all over the place. I’d even argue Puri Puri Prisoner should start caring about others more. He seems like a mostly nice guy, but it never occurs to him that a giant naked man bounding through the streets, and through populated playgrounds, you know, full of children, isn’t a good thing. He cares more about himself, and what he wants, than people around him, it’s not like he couldn’t wear clothing that wouldn’t explode, this is a world of heroes, if he can’t get some durable clothing, that would be the biggest joke of the series. It doesn’t even need to be durable, just stretchy enough for his muscles. When clothing gets blasted off, that’s forgivable, it happens, but he literally rips his clothes off, getting naked is literally one of his power up moves.
Sure, from… Oh no I forgot his name, the guy with the muscles, the one with the sad backstory where Garou stops beating him up because he sees how scared he is. That guy, damn, why is his name just, not there in my head? Anyway, that guy came from a bad place, worked his way to his strength, you’d think he’d be empathetic towards people in a similar situation, but we don’t see that at all. Instead…. DARKSHINE, got it yes, is an S class hero, who doesn’t do much.
For Darkshine, I’d expect him to be backing some kind of anti bullying organization, but he doesn’t (unless I missed something but I don’t see Darkshine showing up and sitting in a tiny chair to give a speech in bullying being bad anywhere)
All they care about is their reputation, their pay, and killing monsters. With some notable outliers who are actually cool people. But not the A class who went after Garou that one time, all of them should stop being heroes. Regardless of if it is a villain or not, if they say there is a kid, a civilian, in the line of fire, you should check. Especially when you think you’ve got the advantage.
But my agreement with parts of Garou’s philosophy stands on a lot of solid ground, the heroes of this world are all kind of assholes. Except a few good ones, like Metal Bat, he seems like he actually gives a crap. He’s also not that smart buuut it’s okay. Hell even Pig God is less of an ass than most of them, and his power is eating, he’s the definition of gluttony, and he’s actually pretty chill, using his massive maw to protect others by having them climb inside him, not to mention there aren’t likely to be many civilian casualties when he shows up, he just grabs the monster and eats it.
Unless, hold on do we know of any time Pig God has accidentally eaten people?
I like this world, in many ways, it makes sense, most of the heroes are pompous assholes with no regard for human life. Which considering their power, the admiration they receive daily, makes sense, they need a hero therapist.
thats where neo heroes comes in, its another "hero association" just without all of that bs.
@@zephskiee5395 Still don't trust them
Buuuuuuut at the end of the day the heroes still have to make sure the city and it's people are there damaged or otherwise. They're still heroes that have to do something. A villain would just leave you with nothing if they could and if they're powerful enough destroy the whole damn place without even giving you the illusion of choice or safety
so you can go full Stain all you want, better the working system stripped of all ideals be there then living in the realized ideal of a villains kill or be killed world
@@alexanerose4820 Your options are Hero’s who are just as likely as the villains to kill you, or Kill or be killed super villain world.
You forgot the other choice, letting a character like Garou win. If he succeeds, there won’t be heroes, there won’t be a kill or be killed world. There will be peace. Similar to how peace works in the real world.
Right now, everyone has the power to obliterate the planet, nobody really wants WW3 because it would be called World Ending War 1. The reason the world is as peaceful as it is, is a combination of FEAR, and diplomacy.
If Garou can provide the world with a collective fear, something everyone doesn’t want, that opens channels for diplomacy between monsters and humans, who are terrified of Garou. Or someone like Garou.
In the real world, we don’t have people and monsters who can level cities, and eat nukes. If we did, we would live in a similar dystopia.
Because there would be absolutely NOTHING to reign them in. Besides each other, and that’s not a good solution, that’s like, having Neo-Nazi’s be prison guards for Nazis. That’s an EXTREME example, but it just means that LITERALLY the only thing stopping them, is themselves.
The reason society is a bumbling mess, is because people are always willing to settle. “Lesser of two evils” “Devil you know”
I say fuck that, “Devil I don’t” because I don’t want to settle, I don’t want to give up on the IDEA that humanity CAN be better. That we can all be better. And my wish for the real world to be better, for people to be better, translates to the fiction I like.
I like OPM, and I like Garou because while he might be seen as a monster by some, he sees the corruption of the world, and instead of sitting down and feeding the status quo, he decided to NOT settle.
Never settle for what you have, there is no such thing as perfect, but there is ALWAYS “better” even if it’s only a little bit.
@@lordwoods8631 you really like typing long comments
Saitama is now the MVP of anime
But this is the manga so I think you meant manga not "anime" to this day I still don't understand how complete morons 🤭☝ get it mixed up and confused literally ALL the time
Also Saitama WAS the mvp manga/anime or at least one of them but shitty writing in the last chapter changed that when they decided to make Saitama forget everything and yet somehow Genos remembers everything

The only thing of use from Genos's memories of the alternate timeline would probably be Garou teaching Saitama his time travelling martial arts which would be very hard for him and Dr. Kuseno to do much with
Ty murata for an awesome 7 years of a n beautiful arc now to the neo arc
Murata and ONE never MISSES with these manga
It’s a nice / warm ending .. I’m here for it lol
I hope that Genos is going to get an upgrade to reach at least top 5 in the rankings. I love him as a character and would be awesome to see him be powerful enough to fight longer than 2 minutes 💀
"Someone with such a weak body"
Bruuuh. King is likely the most muscular Otaku in existance, but I get what you are saying :D The wording is just funny when he is like a 7.7ft Tank
Gah this is what i hate about one punch😭 it always happens, Saitama gets no recognition, everything he did didn't matter in the end, everyone forgot everything and genos knows everything but says nothing, like bruh it just feels like what happened the last few chapters didn't matter at all, like ughhhh, i love one punch but this trop is rly annoying lmao, i think everyone can agree
Ikr!
It makes me wanna rip my eyes out 😒
Not last few the entire long ish arc by murata
It's absolutely retarded in my opinion and while I love One Punch Man this is one thing that I absolutely hate about it more than anything in the world that level of writing is pathetic and idiotic and so is the author for writing shit like that into story all the time 😤
Shit like this is what's eventually gonna make the series feel stale, boring, unfunny and all-round 100% mediocre compared to literally anything other manga/anime and it just pisses me off because One Punch was for sure one of the greatest at one point in time and now... The writing is just purely fucking sloppy
Fear not.. because it matters to you and so many other readers :)
Plus all that truly matters is that FUBUKI knows.
Don't agree at all
It's almost frustrating I thought that this time Saitama would be recognized for his powers
This mind blowing and hard to chew stuff has existed in animes before as well. While I don't watch a lot, I remember one, Hitman: Reborn. They also did all these time travel shenanigans and was kinda confusing lmao
This is sick. Can't wait for the animation nextyear.
yes and no to the 5:00 part where Saitama did not save everyone. If he would have let revenge get the better of him all would have been lost...
I think this is the best arc of one punch man
Yea for sure
Altho it has been going on for a long ass time
Read the Webcomic
@@davidor6007 I have read it Garou was more brutal have you read the neo hero arc
Safe to say this is one of greatest war arcs in anime
Everyone : Praise the power of Universe Destroyer
Garou : Yo Baldy... Make sure my past-self didn't get that power
I really want Garou to remain a Hero Hunter.
A hero hater sure , but definitely not a hunter
now he will become a job hunter
@@kalpeshbhoir7372 an impossible accomplishment that even the mighty Saitama failed.
They cut some many stuff from the webcomic like Saitama talking no jutsu to garou bang teaching garou a lesson, small rover and black sperm, zombie man🧟♂️ finding about Saitama strength and wanting to remove his limiter
Honestly I prefer the 'blah blah blah' version in regards to time travel, the more you explain something, the more people will pick it apart even in a silly comic like OPM where you're not supposed to take it all seriously. Instead of writers trying to satisfy people by explaining everything about their version of time travel (like the avengers for instance using the microverse) it's better to usually just give some information but skip some of the details and leave it for people to bicker about.
That guy on the right at 10:59 is totally wearing a saiyan armor lol
you can actually see Murata at his limit in this chapter. He is human after all. He really needs some good rest.
Ikr with all the money why doesn't he just hire some more manga artists to help him out! Heck I'll help him or mastar media for minimal wage! 😅
@@Lone_Star86 the issue is managing story, Murata have a time to create animation of OPM on its own LOL
Honestly, I was hyped for the dark timeline, I thought there was a chance it was gonna split off, and our boy Saitama was gonna go dimension hopping with Blast and has allies to kill God, with webcomic ONE acting as sort of a skeleton for characters who could have survived the world radiation.
12:41
I just noticed this but I think King is holding Tatsumaki underneath his shirt and in his arms. She’s the only person there aside from the three kids that he could carry given his weak body and all three of them are fine enough to walk.
Ok I like and respect how things are concluding
Did everyone notice how King was one of a very few people who could withstand the massive amount of radiation with only the strongest people found.
What if King isn't actually weak. What is king is actually strong but not in physical strength but mental and emotional strength.
What is the only going keeping King physically weak is his own fear of being caught and that in order push his mental and emotional strength to the limit over and over
But if king just put that fear into physically training, he could be extremely powerful as his ranking is
