>nooooo only i get to beat people to within an inch of their life!!!!

I've read the entire fight yesterday since I didn't know how fast these dumps would progress
Man, the whole fight is just fucking great, it had me in shambles

>>280131625
Absolutely destroyed.

>>280131691
as an amateur "artist" i do enjoy seeing panels like the leftmost middle where it's clear to me that ONE took a picture of himself doing the pose in order to get the anatomy and proportions right. it's something that really connects me to his work, where i can see the human behind the page.

And there it is.

>>280131804
>garou always had to be the monster as a kid
Read him like a fucking book

>>280131514
Well that’s the point in the webcomic, most of the S-Class are arrogant dicks or weirdos, so it made sense for Garou to find them distasteful, whereas in the manga Murata turned them into generic shonen nakama.

>>280131804
Destroyed

>>280131590
>>280131625
Such a wonderful portrayal of perfect stillness by ONE. The world STOPS for half a second. Nothing can happen after such a statement

How did we go from this to the manga?

>>280131804
aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>280131840
Honestly the fact that Saitama is so strong it lets him clock how simple the villains because they are no danger to him is something the best aspect of his strength. He'll never realize it though.

>>280131820
Saitama isn't fake. He's one hundred percent committed to his hobby.

>>280131840
My knees left for another dimension.

>>280131840
This is so fucking good it's unreal.
The fact that anyone (including ONE himself) thought it even needed a redraw is insane.

>>280131903
FACADE STATUS: BROKEN

>>280131836
true, it felt apropos to point out, but i suppose it hardly needed saying. i just love how many layers there are to garou.

>>280131871
i love that middle panel of saitama, he's actually drawn like a character instead of "gag" serious, angry or just vacant as always

>>280131871
Does Saitama have fun being a hero while not having fun actually fighting?

Man I completely forgot how much of a cunt Saitama can be at times

>>280131903
KNEEL

>>280131804
I fucking love it so much.

how did Saitama develop this level of emotional intelligence?

>>280131715
I like that by refusing to engage with Garou on the finer points of what being a hero means, he inadvertently gives him the single best answer to the question: a salt of the earth attitude that does good on impulse without any deeper meaning.

>>280131840
The STRONGEST

>>280131944
Entirely by accident, which is part of the joke

>>280131929
They really shouldn't give hysterical woman power

>>280131929
our (professional) hero, King, remained to observe the fight in case it got out of saitama's hands the entire time...what dedication...

>>280131944

>>280131903

>>280131929

the rest is just water under the bridge, huh?

>>280131699
>grippers

I really don't like this word.

>>280131962
>... Even I can dine and dash
My HERO is teaching me how to live...

>>280131807
i think this is why saitama kind of lashes out, because his general ennui and detachment is clearly something that bothers him and garou notices it and picks on it. it's part of what makes this fight so good is that they both seem to have a good grip on each other's character, even if it takes garou a little longer to reach conclusions about saitama, because he's expecting him to be your average hero.

>>280131944
He reached a Buddha-like state from sheer detachment due to his strength, essentially. He's so not-involved in anything that he can see things for what they really are.

>>280131929
Our HERO is back to sort this mess out

>>280131804
>>280131840
>>280131871
>>280131903
Holy Shit
Saitama wasn't even trying to be mean or anything, but these pages are more devastating towards Garou than the entire beatdown before

>>280131944
He understands Garou because Garou really isn't that different from him.
They're both just LARPers.

>>280131962
>invalidates his entire existence
>says "I don't care what you do with your life" afterwards
Saitama really isn't a hero wtf. He doesn't give a fuck about anything

>>280131944

>>280132018
Jesus, Child Emperor, have some fucking self respect. He saved your ass.

>>280132014
KINOOOOO

>>280131944
He didnt get deep into the sauce and he is strong enough as to where Garou can't just shut him up, so he's just looking at and saying it as it is: Some edgy kid is playing a heel.

>>280131840
Destroyed with facts and logic.

>>280131988
>little brawl
My hero is of endless compassion

The ugly kid scene is my favorite one

>>280131836
However, even though they're mostly arrogant dicks/weirdos in the webcomic, the fact of the matter is they still put themselves on the lines to protect people from monsters, regardless of their personal motivations. Which I think is one of the points of the sweet mask arc. However, as we see here, Garou has a subconscious idea of what an 'ideal hero' should be like, and it's very true that none of the S class fit into that archetype.

>>280132018
Virgin Emperorbros… it’s past our bedtime…

>>280132010
Find a new existence, he's not his monster's keeper. If all it takes to invalidate your life is a guy picking his nose, then you clearly need something else to do.

>>280131962
I love how Saitama goes from completely demolishing Garou's worldview with words to completely flubbing the follow-up and leaving him suicidal.
He really can never stick the landing, just like with the giant and the meteor.
>>280131988
Look at the power of my hero Sweet Mask, who can easily crush Caped Baldy's shoulder with just a single hand.
Also, another fantastic reaction panel from Saitama.

>>280131944
He’s entirely disconnected from the chuuni world he lives in since he’s a normal guy with absurd strength that nothing can hurt. So I guess he can’t help but see some things through a more down to earth lense and just view this as a temper tantrum

>>280131840
holy fuark

>>280131988
>Everyone agrees. Garou must die.

Just because all the voices in your head agree doesnt mean the actual people do.

>>280131988
>>280132018
OF COURSE the weaklings want to take the easy way out and save face. Cowards

>>280131933
Him going serious here is genuinely more impactful than the great and detailed artwork when he goes serious elsewhere

>>280131840
>"""people""" will argue that the manga is better than this

>>280132085
King is such a gentleman for letting the woman show off her skill

>>280132111
Looking at this page, it's crazy how far ONE's art has come even just from the start of this same arc.

>>280132010
He's not here to save his life, just to tell him to cop on and maybe try do something more fulfilling

How dare you...

>>280132238
This really was the only time this confrontation could happen.
Only now is Garou open-minded enough to look past his own anger and see Bang's real feelings, and be forced to acknowledge that the "old fart" wasn't out to bully him, but genuinely cares about him even now, after all his rampaging, and is only upset because he sincerely wanted the best for Garou and not for him to throw his life away on a stupid grudge monster scheme.

>>280131871

Garou shouldn't even be alive right now, it's incredible that a bit of blood is all he's coughing up

>>280132261
Garou...

>>280132275
You can say what you want, but the guy is as sturdy as they come.

>>280132238
>hey wait a minute, he's pulling his punches to prove a point when he could totally kill me
>oh I understand him now

>>280131962
These are sociopathic answers from Saitama. If Garou tried to kill himself after this, I don't think Saitama would try to stop him or care

>>280132291
No...

>>280132272
I just can't not hear that in my head when I read "stupid disciple!"

The absolute best joke in the entire webcomic that made me laugh my ass off when I first saw it, the composition of it is just too perfect. It is an absolute crime against fucking humanity that Murata fucking cut it from the manga

Garou the HERO

>>280132341
The BUSAIKU

>>280132373

>>280132373

Kino...

>>280132425
*This* is what passes for the A-class Rank 1 hero? He can't even beat a little kid.

>>280132387
at this point i'm almost glad that the manga has gone so far off the rails. it was already tainted and doing the garou fight right wouldn't have changed that, and besides, the webcomic is plenty great enough on its own. if anything the manga just serves as a lure to filter off normalfags and shounenspics from the real one punch man experience. the only thing that does bother me is that there are people out there who think that the manga is the real story, and will never read the webcomic for themselves even if they would enjoy it.

>>280132341
>>280132373
>>280132407
>>280132425
Tareo actually does something instead of randomly dying to cancer

>>280132435
I don't remember the details, but at some point in Garou's hugely destructive rampage the kid dies
It gets retconned thanks to Saitama developing time-travel powers

>To this day there hasn´t been a WC Garou "LIVE" Edit.

Odd.

>>280131944
By being a normalfag. No, seriously, in a world full of chuuni autists that's also a superpower

>>280132435
Garou becomes radioactive and kills everyone. Instead of anything Saitama says or does, THAT is what mindbreaks his facade. Then he invents timetravelling through martial arts, and sends Saitama back in time to one-shot him before any of it happened

>>280132471

If it wasnt midnight and im already against better judgement staying up to see this to the end i would.

I need Fubuki ass

I wait until the dump is over as a way to show respect, it really pains me how the manga just shit all over the webcomic. I only pay attention to the manga for one reason and everyday I lose hope in it happening. I used to hold this series close to my heart, but now it just hurts to remember it exists

>>280132517
Thanks a lot, OP. What a fucking arc. I don't think I'll ever get tired of rereading it.

Time for my promised sperg rant

This is going to be a long effortpost about my thoughts on the OPM Webcomic in general (avoiding spoiler beyond this point) and the themes it has about heroism and how it applies to real life, whether ONE meant it to or not. I am not going to cover comparisons with the manga because it’s beside the point. If you don’t want to read a sober essay you can hide this post. I wrote this a few days ago in preparation. I’m no scholar and this is just one anonymous retard’s interpretation, so take it with a grain of salt. This is just me trying to understand something that I enjoy so I can gain a deeper appreciation for it, since I think talking about and thinking about things you like is a good way to go about it.

The thesis I would like to support here is that Saitama is the pinnacle of what it means to be a hero from ONE’s perspective, in mindset alone. Alongside that I want to touch on how this applies to general human motivation for creativity and how it applies to art in the real world, circling back to the webcomic itself being an example of this concept. I also want to touch on what I would define as “soul” and why the webcomic comes across so soulfully.

First off, what does it mean to be a hero? In the universe of OPM, the Hero Association is an easy first place to look. Here, we have a lot of people who sign up for the association with dreams of being a hero, of having a costume, of being popular. But, these desires are essentially backwards. Most heroes in the association are heroes because they want to be heroes, which means therefore that they should save people and defeat monsters. You see this kind of thing in a lot of superhero manga and shonen in general, the actual motivation behind being a hero is to be a hero, not to do the things heroes do.

>>280132597
Contrast this with Saitama. Saitama is the titular “hero that nobody knows.” Sure, he desires to have fame, a costume, that sort of thing, but it was never the principal motivation for being a hero. He dreamed of being a hero that could defeat monsters, the actual hero work part of the job is what made him want to be a hero. He finds it to be a hobby, up until the point where he learned of the association’s existence, he was perfectly content just going around defeating monsters without any fanclub or popularity of any kind. What this means is that he does hero work because he WANTS to, he’s internally motivated. He enjoys defeating monsters and saving people. Getting to wear the costume, getting a fanclub, a hero name, a rank, it’s all secondary to his actual goal.

And as I previously mentioned, on the flipside, most of the heroes in the association are heroes for the sake of being heroes, rather than for the sake of defeating monsters. S class could largely be considered an exception to this, most/all of them would be considered “true” heroes in this sense of the word, but Saitama exemplifies it the most. Mumen Rider is another good example of this. He knows he can’t win against some monsters, he knows he’s weak, but he does what he does because saving people is what he wants to do. If there were no association, there’s no doubt in my mind that Mumen Rider would still be going around helping others. He’s internally motivated.

The fight with Garou is in a sense ONE spelling this out, and is an exemplification of the thesis. Garou is someone who grew up with this idealized version of what heroes and monsters are. His entire viewpoint of heroes comes from TV shows he watched as a kid and being bullied playing make believe on the playground.

i cant say that it's the single best fight ever put to (superior nipponese) paper, i havent read nearly enough to claim that, but it sure is far better than it should be
i can definitely say that this is the single best instance of a hero vs villain morality argument i've ever seen in any media - rarely does something weave combat into dialogue so cleverly

>>280132626
Like most kids, Garou has this really cartoonish idea of what heroes are. He thinks that a hero that isn’t strong can’t be a hero, heroes need capes, they need to fit into his narrow view of what it means to be a hero. Saitama breaks this down for him by showing him the perspective of a true hero. Garou initially doesn’t understand it, how someone could just do something because they want to, not for any external gain. How someone could be a hero but not have their desire be for world peace, or to save the planet, but just because they enjoy doing hero work. How any hero could not be like the ones he saw on TV.

This idea of being internally motivated to do something and not doing something as a cliche applies very much to the real world I feel. Most specifically, creative arts. I would argue the best artists are the people who make art not because they get paid to, or because they get popularity, but because they want to. True artists would make art even if nobody told them to, because they have a need for self expression. They would paint, make sculptures, write novels, even if they never made a cent off of it. Of course, it’s nice to make a living off of your hobby, so naturally many of them do end up selling what they make so they can get by, or for fame. But these true artists would not let the fact that they aren’t getting paid stop them from expressing themselves creatively, like how Saitama wouldn’t stop being a hero just because he doesn’t have a fan club.

>>280132663
I think this idea also ties into how I would define soul (or SOVL). When I say art, it doesn’t mean just painting or writing, but any form of creative self expression where you make something yourself. Soul I believe is a quality in a creation that is defined as being intrinsically recognizable as being the result of human effort and passion. One of the reasons why so much old media is soulful is because it was hard to make. Tools were not as advanced, you had to hand draw each frame, videogames had poor engines, less defined languages, there were no online painting tools, etc. So anyone that was able to make one of these things, in a way that people enjoyed, had to put a lot of effort into it. And to get to the finish line, you can bet they needed passion. So when you see a drawing, a video game, a movie, an anime, a book, a building, fashion, pretty much anything and consider it soulful, that’s why.

Of course this doesn’t mean only old media is soulful. Even nowadays you’ll get media made by people who put immense time, effort, and passion into what they do to create something remarkably human. After all, what better definition is there for soul than that it feels like the creation itself has a soul, a human quality, imbued into it by the blood, sweat, and tears of the creators?

This is what I think the webcomic has. ONE does not have the perfect technical skill of other mangaka. And yet, I would argue what he makes looks better than most. Instead of coasting on his technical ability, he’s had to learn how to use paneling, coloring, expressions, writing, pacing, and everything else unseen that goes into his works to get by. It’s like the artists of old, who had poor tools and had to master fundamentals. He’s (in my opinion) mastered paneling and storytelling.

>>280132689
Even his art isn’t anything to scoff at. He draws exactly what he needs to in order to convey what he wants to convey. If a scene or character doesn’t need detail, he doesn’t detail them. If they do, he does. EVEN THEN, his art is still pretty good. It’s certainly better than anything I could draw. But his designs are especially wonderful. Garou’s scribbly, undefined, jagged design meshes perfectly with his artstyle. He’s a shadow, like how the backgrounds would be drawn.

But more than anything, seeing ONE’s linework, his not so perfect drawing skill, is so very human. You can tell somebody sat down and drew it. It’s very raw, very human. The art has this human soul quality imbued into it. And people generally appreciate things made by others more than they appreciate things made by machines. It’s why even if AI can draw well, people still prefer hand drawn works, not because they look better, but because within that art, within the text, within the craft, you can see the person who spent time to make it. You can see the effort, you can sympathize, you can understand it, and that’s what people love about art. So when I say that I like ONE’s artwork more than other mangaka, it’s not because it has more technical skill, it’s just more human. It’s not the same as children’s scribbles, as I said earlier it’s still more skilled than anything I could do. But it’s enough to make me really enjoy seeing it, seeing the lines, the detail, knowing it was all done with purpose rather than just to fill space and make it “look” detailed. There’s such a thing as art being too perfect and too realistic.

ONE I think is a great example of the internally motivated artist. OPM itself, at that. He doesn’t sell it, he isn’t pushed around by deadlines. He draws it because it’s what he wants to do, because he enjoys it. That’s why I love the OPM webcomic and why it’s my favorite work by ONE, and maybe my favorite manga of all that I’ve read.

I think you've hit the nail on the head of something I've struggled to for a while. Even if an AI makes a manga that looks amazing and has a cool, interesting plot, with something made by a human I can look at every detail and wonder what they were thinking when they added it, and that's a fundamental part of consuming art

>Garou was a tranny all along
His last transformation could've just been him with boobs. Imagine how Murata would've drawn it

People always call this fight a stomp in Saitama's favor but when reading it again it's kind of easy to forget how insanely good Garou did here compared to everyone else

>tanked multiple normal punch combinations (Boros almost died to one)
>able to go blow-for-blow with normal punch combos
>fast enough to make Saitama double-take and catch him off-guard multiple times, even if he wasn't going all-out (slipping his hand out of the grab is probably his most impressive example)
>dodged Saitama's blows multiple times
>passed several resolve checks before getting mindbroken (it's something only i can do)
>dubbed "very strong, even" by Saitama

That's not to say he didn't get whooped, but this is the single-best performance anyone put up against Saitama. You can tell he would have gotten outplayed and merked a dozen times over if he didn't have retard durability.

The crazy part is that this is Garou when he's being a manchild, you have to imagine that he'll be on a whole other level when he reaches enlightenment.

I doubt he will ever be as strong. He got so strong because he was actively breakong his limiter. Once he turned into a monster he gave that up and became weaker. He would have to go on a suicide run again to become as strong/stronger.

>>280132879
>>280132906
Honestly quite possibly the most retarded thing Murata added.
Not only is there Saitama's expression being all wrong, but Saitama doesn't have any movements to imitate; he has no techniques whatsoever and relies purely on his raw stats being so far above everyone else that they can't even reach him.
Like, what is Garou even mimicking? A basic punch a ten-year old could throw?

Speaking of manga changes, what did you guys think of adding in the ugly bratty rich Association executive's son as another child hostage during the arc?
I thought it was lame.

>>280133084
I am surprised that this series is very much about juggling all of these characters and treating them seriously, in spite of the main premise. The whole standoff between the MA and the heroes where King's presence buys time while the pieces get placed makes it feel a lot more tactical and intended than most manga that try to balance a whole cast like that. Seeing Garou lose not just out of pure strength but through a strength of will is very satisfying, and the resolution of him finding the will to live after being confronted by both his master and the ugly little boy he was using as a hostage makes so much sense. I don't know much of the manga specifics, but all the redrawing and rewriting sounds torturous for what is ostensibly a very simple webcomic.

Big mistake. Resulted in the hero association knowing some of what they were up against, character bloat, damaged the pacing, reduced the focus from Tareo and Garou's relationships and probably more. Also, the kid was annoying. Did even one good thing come from his addition?

Garou wanted his pain and his ambitions to be acknowledged and respected. He wanted some sympathy, some validation, just a little "hey, you're right I can't save bullied kids".

But he got nothing. Saitama didn't debate, he simply didn't care for him or his ideals. He didn't give him empathy, he merely gave him the truth that he already knew: the world is unfair with the added bonus of showing him that he really was a kid throwing a tantrum.

The best part of this fight without a doubt. It was cathartic to see how Saitama not only destroyed him physically but how he also completely destroyed his ideals and exposed his monster play. I'll never forget how I felt the first time I finished this arc, it's a great experience from start to finish.

The totally subtle moon in the background makes me think this was going to end in a similar way. By this point Murata’s shonen brainrot would not let it end with just a conversation. The entire arc already upped the spectacle to an obnoxious degree.

>>280133519

>>280132080
Notice how he says
>now I remember... back when I, uh... When you didn't pay for your meal
Garou accused Saitama of almost killing him a few pages back. Saitama just remembered that he almost killed a guy over dine and dashing (which he himself did.)

Not only he didn't take any responsibility for almost killing a man by accident, he refuses to take responsibility for leaving him suicidal. Saitama is really irresponsible and covering himself with plausible deniability here in case Garou kills himself.

Let's not forget that Saitama threatened to kill Garou if he didn't apologize for making too much noise, so his response to "no hero is gonna kill someone over dine and dashing" is hypocrisy.

>>280133334

Why do they look so saucy in this

>>280133661
Yeah, Saitama isn't a perfect hero
He's doing it as a hobby

Reminder that the point of Garou’s arc is to criticize the Japanese justice system and its views on criminals. This becomes more obvious once Garou gets a normal job later but it’s essentially about how criminals can be rehabilitated and integrated to society again rather than to condemn them for the rest of their lives.

which of the heroes were conscious enough to actually witness Saitama kicking ass here? Zombieman, Sweet Mask, anyone else? Child Emperor should have seen it but it doesn't seem like it by the way he still talked down to Saitama.

>>280133661
Take responsibility? That’s like saying you should feel bad for a school shooter that says he’s going to kill himself after you stop him. I doubt he was actually going to kill Garou for the noise, pretty sure it’s just an idle threat. He's one of the only people who doesn’t want to kill him at the end and tries to motivate him by asking if he’s okay with him beating him.

that fucking FRAUD Caped Baldy jumping in just as Garou's transformation juice ran out to take credit...

>>280133854
Garou didn't kill anyone. He did everything in his power to leave everyone alive and saved a kid twice.

His plan was always "defeat the heroes so the rest of the world unites against me" and achieve world peace. It was fucking stupid, but he had noble intentions.

Saitama almost killed Garou by accident. If instead of Garou it was any other man it would've been murder.

Saitama himself knows that killing Garou (both back in the park and after his rampage) is wrong which is why he opposes to the idea. He just refuses to be held accountable for almost killing Garou casually and then for leaving him suicidal.

>2.2K: "Saitama in the webcomic deconstructed Garou's motives and forced him to admit his ideals of villany were built on the hope it would force a real hero to appear. And Garous actions aren't reversed and have major consequences on the development of the story going forward."

Manga ending - Garou got dunked, say wtf I got god'd, and just go back to Bang. I mean, it's ok if you like it. I liked the manga too (with Time Traveling and Boris and shit). But better?"

I still think that Great Degenerate is a cool superhero name.

>>280134079
But what about Garou?

>>280133988
>He did everything in his power to leave everyone alive
He actually would have let them die to Evil Natural Water after disabling them.
And he also crippled and tried to cripple people. For many, this is even worse than death.

He literally smashed Sweet Mask's face, if it hadn't been for his regeneration that Garou doesn't know he has Sweet Mask would have been left with a deformed face missing his eyes and nose. He tried to cripple Saitama, he took a hero's arm.

why would Saitama need to learn time travel just to resolve a neighborhood noise complaint?

I will never forgive Murata for assraping this fight. I felt literally cucked.

>>280133832
Zombieman, Sweet mask, Child emperor and Atomic samurai I think
Tatsumaki is unconscious but learns about it later

>>280133988
>>280134119
That's what he did to Sweet Mask's face (actually it was worse, that was after Sweet Mask partially regenerated), I'd literally rather die than have my face like that with no eyes or nose on it, that's worse than actually killing someone.

>>280133350
If nothing else, this is kind of a funny image.

>>280134186
Not that anon but keep /pol/faggotry out of this thread. This is one punch man, not a culture debate, no one gives a shit about trannies or wants to talk about them

I don't understand Garou's motives and I'm not sure he understands them either.

>>280133582
Yes, definitely, but attempting to continue the fight at that point would've made things worse c.f. the redraw. The fact that they were doing something so blatantly different to the WC made me hopeful that ONE was trying to salvage this mess, somehow. But no. It wasn't to be.

>>280134191

>>280134220
He wanted to be the greatest hero but was too pussy to do it so he decided to become the greatest monster that united everyone

what if the webcomic got an anime?

Entirely drawn frame-by-frame by ONE

>>280134201
>>280134119
Saitama himself said that Garou was always holding back.

It is illogical, but we have to assume that Garou magically knows due to martial arts how much he can beat someone. Hell, he even refused to fight Saitama back when he thought he was a simple B class.

Also, Garou is the fucking villain I'm not saying that he's good, that his actions are good or that Saitama is evil, but Saitama is irresponsible.

>>280133832
Excluding Fubuki and King I think only Sweet Mask and Zombieman saw it. They are the only ones who have regeneration, that's why they were able to see it.
Anyone except them, even conscious ones, couldn't see it.

>>280133003
That would have been a great gag if it were absurdly weak and garou had a melty

>>280133700
He isn't that sweet.
His extreme ruthlessness towards anything he considers "evil" and inability to show any mercy is a pretty major part of his character arc, and Genos commented on it when he dealt with the captive aliens, too. It's all important setup here.

>>280134289
Why does everybody forget Flashy Flash? His entire reason to wanting to become Saitama's teacher is because he saw him kick Garou's ass (even if copes that Garou was weakened from his fight with the other s class)

A humorous edit is not a debate, even if you disagree with it.
>no one gives a shit about...
If you don't give a shit about a topic, you should ignore it instead of engaging with it and generating discussion.

>>280134350
Nah, he literally states he saw it and that he was consious. Just that he couldn't stand up

>>280133700
He has to go full justice all the time or his monster side takes over

HERE FOR THE KINO

>>280134286
>Saitama himself said that Garou was always holding back.
So?
His crimes are still extremely serious.
It's not okay for him to tear people limbs off, blow out their eyes and noses, disfigure their faces, cripple a bunch of people and leave the heroes to be killed by Evil natural Water after leaving them defenceless, which is no different from killing them himself.
In fact, he removed heroes who were defending people, reducing people's safety, which certainly caused deaths even if it was off-screen.
If he died it would be pretty much deserved.

>>280134463
all of that was in self defense

>>280134339
>>280134350
Flashy Flash didn't see it, he only got the news and believed in its capabilities because he tested it first.

>>280134369
Never understood this, DESU. Saitama and Garou went so clearly beyond Flashy Flash as the fight progressed that I can't see how he could have possibly retained his cope that he's the strongest after that. My headcanon is that Flashy Flash only caught the early part of the fight and fainted after. When he woke up, Garou was defeated. Being a chuni loner, he didn't talk to the rest of the S-Class and learn what really happened. So his cope survived.

>>280134477
No, it was not, the others were defending themselves from him.

i waited 7 years to see how murata would've adapted this scene. i wanted to see this kino being given justice. i imagined thks scene being animated and becoming a world sensation.
that will never happen

but i am still glad i read this. this is one of the best sequences ever put to comic. it's poignant, funny and it's a great capstone to the series, to saitama and especially to garou.
one of the elusive true 10/10s.

He didn't see the fight, he was literally face down on the ground without being able to move.

>>280134569

>>280134598
ninja senses innit

>>280134339
Flash knows that Saitama fought Garou, but he convinced himself that he only won because the S-class had already weakened Garou, and that Saitama is still far below his own strength.
It's a delusion on such a level that it's obvious that Flash didn't see the actual fight, since it would be impossible to reconcile Serious Table Flip, a display of skill surpassing even Tatsumaki, with the idea that Saitama isn't already the absolute most powerful man on the planet.

>>280134598
He's literally on his back facing upwards
>>280132056

>>280134631
Weird, I remember him being face down on the ground before. Then he was looking up without being able to move.

>>280133277
And don't forget that because of it Murata had to add that retarded "Bang and Genos aren't trustworthy" subplot to explain why they weren't part of the raid.

>>280132240
>>280132272
>>280132321
Who are you guys talking about?

>>280134623
He clearly saw whatever he could see from his position. Doesn't mean he saw the entire fight or even most of it since it went all over the place. But the fact that he stated he was conscious while having an image of Saitama and Garou standing off in the beginning of the fight (which would be close to where he fell) means he at the very least saw the beginning of it.

>>280134259
every chapter that released felt like slipping further into a deep dark abyss from which there was no escape.
it was like receiving biweekly mail from a kidnapper containing photos of your family being raped and murdered.

>>280134765
You're right, still the wording kind of implies that he didn't see past the fact that it was Saitama who was facing Garou in the beginning.

>>280131804
This really is the perfect capstone on a long line of perfect pages

>>280134591
It is?

>>280132489
They are right (except for not listening to Saitama, who was the one who defeated him). Being a hero doesn't mean being a bitch, don't let works where heroes and protagonists don't kill anyone brainwash you.

>>280132466

I legit only read some chapters of the manga after I watched S2 with a bro because I was confused about the content (only read the webcomic and some sporadic manga chapters up until that point). What when why the fuck?

The placement of Flash's words kind of implies this, he seemed to be concluding that it was Saitama who faced Garou in the end, by remembering that initial part he saw.

The moon shit with God is so fucking cool visually but does not fit this arc at all or the Manga.

i will forever hate that friend of mine who autistically wanted to read manga garou first before reading the webcomic. he fucking skipped this fight straight to the next wc arc and only read it after reading the shit ass manga version
he somehow actively chose the worst possible way to enjoy this story
