And when future ass saitamw knocked god from the eye of jupiter to the moon for past present and future he seemed to get de ja vu. Btw heart transplant recipients gain memories from the dead donors so yeah.
I like to think that garou attempted the time travel technique like saitama but since his body was destroyed by god, his spirit was able to do so and merge with past garou. Possibly explaining why garou seem to give up when getting beaten to a pulp and possibly feeling what his future self felt.
I totally called that Genos' core would record the alternate timeline. I didn't think this would become apparent so quickly, though. I thought it would be necessary for Kuseno to do some work on it.
probably monaco too, since she's one of the only few monsters alive, considering she's befriended saitama atleast, im thinking she with black S and good ol rover will become saitamas "pets" and hang in his doghouse
Overall I think the webcomic version of this part of the arc was better. A lot of things were left out like Fubuki vs Psykos, Garou vs the S class, Saitama's "But you can never defeat me" line and Bang beating Garou out of his monster armor for example. The manga has better artwork and better fights but I need more than flashy battles, the narrative that backs up the fights makes the fights truly special and I felt like it was all a lot weaker in the manga version. A disappointing conclusion to an otherwise amazing arc.
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 I can't believe Murata tossed out the Fubuki vs Psykos fight and threw away the opportunity for himself to draw them both a bunch more given that he includes Fubuki on so many covers he obviously likes drawing her.
My theory on the core managing to record everything even pass Genos' death, it's cause if Genos ever did die, as a fail safe for Dr. Kuseno, the Dr could still technically revive him, though the difference now is that in a body that's fully mechanical. Dunno how the Dr would just have a brain laying around der. In anycase, that's what I think of the reason why the core manage to do such.
My guess is that the reason Genos's core retained information on what happened is because the core *is* Genos (or at least his soul/something like it) (and, you know, has some sensory tech built in, probably).
If im not mistaken, garou turning into salt was taken out of the bible. As lot and his wife and children were granted mercy and allowed to escape before the destruction of sodom and gamora one thing they were told was to not look back. Lot's wife looks back and cries in regret for what has happened to her former home, she was then turned into salt as god saw this as her having mercy on the towns inhabitants who were sinners, much how garou felt bad for killing everyone due to the radiation. Love this kind of stuff, if im missing a detail or two let me know. Zhoniin great stuff
Where was Metal Knight in the alternate timeline? He wasn't there cleaning up radiation when they returned to earth or showed up in the blast fight. He only arrives after the threat has been defeated and everything is normal in the 2nd timeline like he was waiting for everyone to be killed. This just makes him even more suspicious.
This is my theory: Did you noticed when Saitama and Cosmic Garou returned to Earth,All of the Heroes is gone? Only Tareo is left behind because he is a little bit far from the majority of heroes. Maybe Metal Knight evacuated the Heroes from the Z city while Saitama and Garou fought in IO.
Back before One and Murata decided to rework Garou vs Saitama one problem I had was that nobody saw Saitama beat Garou, which was the catalyst for some pretty important stuff in the webcomic. I figured they would have worked that into the new version, but now even Saitama didn't see Saitama beat Garou, so I wonder how that's going to effect the next arc moving forward
I think it's a rule at this point that in fiction anyone that explained or pretty much mentioned multiverse is pretty much confirmed that, in that particular series multiverse exist. Maybe god is a multiversal entity, given that slapping his hand gave you energy omniscience, not far fetched if his a multiversal entity. Genos casually saying saitma will win in every universe no matter how much he hold back. Even if it bends causality at his will.
Genos' core probably has a sort of black box-like function implemented by Dr. Kuseno to assist in making improvements to Genos based on battle data. If that's the case, there's no reason why Genos wouldn't have access to core data as well in order to self-improve on the fly.
@@Crazy_2100 I think it may play out the same way. The manga seems to be setting itself up to flesh out those events in the webcomic with the involvement of Metal Knight here in this chapter. Perhaps he gets a hold of the data and that leads him to develop all those super robots he sent to the doctor's lab? His experimentation on people exposed to the radiation may be what leads to the neo hero association and their cybernetic augmentations.
@@ckowkay it wasn't plugged into anything but it's safe to assume it may have still held some power (think of a laptop entering its lowest powered sleep state), otherwise Saitama wouldn't have made the effort to protect it in battle.
In the panel where Garou disappears before the heroes, i like the nice detail where noone can figure out which way he ran to but Saitama looks up meaning he was the only one who could catch Garou's movements
Blast 100% remembers the whole sequence. The other dimension is not influenced by the normal flow of time. That was written specifically for this moment.
King stares Amai Mask's to pure silent is just a gold moment when we know how arrogant Amai Mask can be even if its someone who is stronger than he is.
Amai mask respects king. He's mentioned it before in a conversation with saitama, think it's the Web comics though. Where he wants to turn saitama into what he thinks a true hero is.
What actions does king ever do to show heart? Besides him panicking all the time? Is it the fact he doesn’t pass out from such a surge in blood pressure?
@@henrysosa8565 he's a beacon hope. No one knows he doesn't have powers, but when King does show up everyone gains confidence, everyone becomes sure the battle is winnable. No average Joe can just pull that off.
In one sentence Genos says , " A new you separated from the original you at the start of your time travel , and merged with the you of this timeline when the movement was completed " Which means Saitama didn't time travel himself back, but instead a *Clone* of him was created which travelled back in time and fused with the older self after completing the destined job . Genos also says , " The timing of separation & merging maybe a clue to the timing of when the *parallel world spilt off* " Meaning that there is still a future reality ( which has now become a parallel reality as the result of "reverse of causality" ) in which Genos , garou & other heroes are dead and Saitama still standing naked
True, murata made a point to say that it's a parallel timeline, I wonder what relevance that lonely saitama will have later. Oh! What if next chapter we get an exposition between blast and alternate timeline saitama?
@@starbeard5538 this is what im thinking, maybe not even a fully evil saitama just a more depressed saitama considering this version would be living in a barren earth with everyone he knows dead
@@ninjahunterx7497 The bill comes due. >___< i'm so scare of a lonely saitama who was left on a barren earth in a parallel timeline. he might build up into a resentful god being that goes around destroying universes as a hobby.
Another important line that Genos said was, "I need to tell this to the people who need to hear it. Its my job as a disciple." So, in upcoming chapters Genos might tell Blast if he appears later because if Blast is unaware of the time travel then he needs to know what actually happened. Genos also saw all about Blast and God in those memories. So he knows how important Blast is in this whole thing. Genos might also tell Bang and even Garou but I think that will happen near the end of series when others will come to know about the truth as well. Now we know that if Saitama can time travel then God most probably can too. We might even see a full blown battle through timelines. Am I over expecting !😂 This legit feels like what a battle between Kang and the Avengers should look like......through universes through timelines.
@@TOATForShort Saitama always has the ability he just doesnt remmeber the way, but Genos also has all the memory. So he can tell Saitama whenever needed. Now at this time Genos just thinks that Saitama is pretending to not know but that confusion can be cleared easily.
King stepping up in that moment to do the right thing when so many others were ready to kill, that was a beautiful moment in where he basically fought against the Hero Association and won without throwing a single punch.
I believe the reason for the Core recording everything is because the Core wasn’t hooked up to Genos, Genos was hooked up to the Core. Garou simply ripped it out of the housing which caused Genos to lose power, but because it wasn’t destroyed, it just quietly kept on running the entire time, recording its surroundings.
Yeah, the core is the power supply, but the issue is why does the core has camera's? Maybe to gather data, but in the event of his core being removed Genos is pretty much dead, plus Genos self destruction is done by exploding the core.
@@ninjahunterx7497 It might not have cameras, but rather passive sensors that engage should the core be removed, probably so it can be tracked if stolen.
Yes, it's a change but I really like that Saitama remembers the events like Platinum S etc. Even if he doesn't really recall the battle he contended with future Garou. And Genos remembering a lot since there's two cores.
For me, this episode of manga was really disappointing. Many things had lesser impact than web comic. Some future plots were cut (unless a lot of mental gymnastics will be made). And most important, making Saitama and especially Garou forget what happened, reverse character development they both went through. For me, it made the last few chapters feel like Naturo filler more than One Punch Man. Tho next chapter will be the last chapter of this arc, so there is STILL a small chance, that the author will fix it, but it's unlikely.
Also, I’ve no idea why Amai Mask, Zombieman and Flashy Flash will go after him now. I’ve deeply desired to see those but ONE pulled a middle finger on us. I really… wished that Saitama would finally get some acknowledgement but they didn’t even see them fight….
@@mondiramaji791 I can still imagine Flashy Flash going after Saitama. After all, Saitama was dodging his attacks, stopped his sword with fingers and was able to follow him when he tried to run away. But others make no sense right now.
@@makosen he lost his cosmic power so maybe not that far to one of Jupiter's moon. But, Earth Moon? Maybe because he 's still far stronger than any S-Class hero. I'm curious about the spine in the moon though.
The zero punch is such an epic name for a move in one punch man, and also makes sense in terms of science as well, as he emerges from the zero point energy field aka a wormhole, he is able to maintain that momentum, delivery a punch which is carrying potential energy from the future.
from the fictional superpower wiki: "Causality Manipulation" Users can manipulate causality, the relationship between causes and effects, allowing them to decide what happens and what doesn't, when and how. There is no need for a "why" however, as the why of something is determined by causality itself, which is at the users' command, making it one of the few powers that reasonably don't need a reason. The causal alterations can be either specific or systemic. Specific alterations are momentary ones, naturally ceasing with their realization i.e. Absolute Wish. Systemic Alterations permanently changes the causal structure of reality, enforcing new chains of fate upon it until the user decides otherwise. All forms of existence and phenomena rely on causality. Because of this, the power to manipulate it naturally overrides any other power put against it, as they all rely on causality to work.
@@bigpj7359 with your comments here, these tards are gon come here and ruined everything by saying NO GOKU SOLOS HE STILL BEATS SAITAMA'S ASS or whatever the hell they say
Lmao. Remember how Saitama was recalling something like "A hero's intuition? I never show up on time." Meanwhile Metal Knight knows what's happening and still doesn't show up on time
While I agree that Metal Knight will ultimately have good intentions, his reveal at the end of this chapter is ominous because he had all these resources on standby, just watching as all the heroes fell to the cadres, and only showing up once the threat was over. It gives an incredible sense of “what is this guy capable of, and what is he hiding?
what a horrible ending the heroes are thugs who hit someone for no reason and saitama lets garou go even though he killed everyone, honestly one of the worst endings i've seen in a manga
King seems to have entered a mode where he's able to control his aura now. Think about it. He wasn't in danger, nor was he terrified. He merely recognized the situation and exerted his pressure. He legit mastered it and now has full-time access. This is HUGE! Why isn't anyone talking about this? Edit: Or maybe it was a feeling akin to stage freight created by putting himself in the situation of a lot of pissed off heroes that may have actually been responsible for the intense aura if you wish to remain skeptical.
Good take man! If we consider the latter part of your comment (the "stage fright" scenario) it could be because he's potentially about to come between a big group of highly capable heroes who, in theory, could stomp him. In his mind it would be like stepping between a pack of lions and hyenas who both want to eat the wounded gazelle in the middle. Either way, King is magnificent ^^
So instead of some s class being aware of saitama's strength after the fight with garou like in the webcomic, were back to genos being the only one aware of what happened, not even saitama knows what he did. I gotta say this is quite interesting. Also it looks like were not gonna get that fubuki vs psykos fight in this arc after all even though psykos was just seen in that earlier chapter.
Its likely blast and metal knight know, blast because of his alternate dimension shenanigans, and metal knight because he HAD to be watching the whole time. Why else would he show up after genos os dealt with, but never in the alternative timeline
Saitama is a manipulator of laws of casuality. Like giorno. He can reset anything and everything that happened no matter what/how, until he is victorious. (though it was confirmed already by multiple things). And hes a gag as confirmed by the interview of one punch man sunday. gg ez.
So is it infinite timelines or a limited number of timelines regardless of what it is the fact that no matter how many timelines or whatever he did in those timelines HE COULD NOT DEFEAT SAITAMA basically there was no amount of martial arts or technique he used or copying of Saitamas power no plan he could come up with no planet they landed on no amount of running away no amount of hax or abilities he used and no amount of outlasting him was enough to beat him in ANY timeline My guy is broken Doesn’t that also imply that in another timeline Garou never showed Saitama how to time travel yet he still found a way to save everyone by breaking time and space?
Metal knight chose not to show up at that point in time in the other timeline. This shows that he doesn't have enough heroic tendencies due to the fact that he would have left everyone to die when he knows that the problem is still ongoing.
I am not really sure about that... the fight between Saitama and Godrou was super fast and didn't probably last much considering their speed was above everything seen. Like the fight in Jupiter could have happened in less than 5 minutes
I'm pretty sure Metal Knight just knows everything.Thats why he always shows up seconds after the fight is over. He probably knows what happened and what Saitama is capable of. Villian for sure 👍.
I really want to see Garou’s character going forward. I know he’ll have a major self reflection. I’m also curious whether he will be able to surpass his cosmic form by breaking his limiter (even if he doesn’t remove it completely like Saitama did). Also I really want to see Metal Knight get some action in upcoming arcs.
They ended this exactly like the webcomic while keeping the gimmick alive where Saitama was revealed in the webcomic. So garou becomes a hero as a half monster. They kinda screwed it up trying to keep the gimmick. The webcomic is better.
@@jermainekngdom3154 it’s pretty good. I’d say the climax in the webcomic was more impactful even if I believe the manga’s was more intricate. Personally I prefer the manga because the events and characters seem far more layered but the webcomic does better at building suspense and is probably worth more for entertainment value.
I think future Garou fused with his present self, cause when he shattered, his pieces must have flew back to his present self, just like what happened with Saitama, since both of them where involved in the Time Travel. Garou was able to travel back in time along with Saitama just before completely dieing as a Soul or something similar to this current timeline.
Well, it said in chapter that Garou kinda accept his defeat calmly (instead of throw a fit like in webcomic) because his future-self so I think that’s very possible.
they missed comedic points webcomic has, actual character development for garo, bang scolding garo which i think was really important, like, to me it is disappointing , and the whole saitama vs garo that lead into this and got redrawn?
I love the panel showing how Noone saw which direction Garou went in except Saitama who saw that he leaped up, just another subtle illustration that Saitama is on a different level to all the other heroes present.
Metal Knight is definitely a good guy. He just operates on a higher lvl on 🌎 like Blast does beyond. MK can seem evil because he makes calculated, rational choices that will result in the most good.
hmmm in the webcomic, seems like metal knight is the only one can pull off a robot invasion :/ also drive knight knows that metal is a threat which he told to genos.
Saitama might get his recognition if he is reviewed by metal knight to have the most radiation which would mean he was the closest to garou or even there being radiation on his fist
That core is gonna play a huge role in a future arc I think. It could be used for combat data for the organization to create a being or AI as powerful as Saitama was with that "current" power up until Saitama just raises the bar a bit higher to totally dominate. Maybe like a Cell situation, implementing data from Blast, Garou and Saitama. Metal Knight and Drive Knight are definitely going to play a huge role in it, I think Metal Knight's real top feats are going to be pretty insane when we finally see it.
The fact that saitama returned back to his nerfed form was necessary because at this rate he might have obliterated the entire solar system with an accidental fart after a few tacos. But well, this still doesnt change the fact that Saitama can instantly grow to universal threat within nano seconds... and he still invincible anyway.
I wish they would have put the epic long conversation between Saitama and Garou." WHY ARE YOU A HERO?" Then Saitama picks his nose and just says he does it for fun. Garou became a monster and Saitama pointed out he had no confidence to be a hero. He really needed that reality check, but we just didn't get that in this chapter.
I wonder how this will affect ZombieMans training arc, in the original webcomic he witnessed the serious table flip and decided to meet Doctor Genius to train to remove his limiter like Saitama but in the Manga he did not witness the serious table flip so I wonder if there was going to be a training arc for him.
Maybe instead of questioning Dr.Genus about Saitama's strength, he would probably ask him about the existence of God and then Genus will bring up the limiter part.
I think not only Genos that know about the alternate future, i think Metal Knight would also know through his investigations in the site detecting an anomaly of space-time. In a way this would connect to Metal Knight-Genos-Drive Knight conflict for the later story. I think Blast would also aware of Saitama due to him being outside of the dimension, making him possibly not worry about Earth that much and not appear for sometimes until future events.
I didn't like this chapter, bc if they went back in time and Saitama and Garou don't remember everything that just throws their character development from Ch.168 to the trash
This series is unstoppable 😩🔥🔥 Im going to give 3 different endings based on what i know: Saitama fights God, who doesn’t challenge him at all, he goes back to earth and now all the monsters are gone and everyone is normal again (Except Genos who continues stalking Saitama) Saitama fights God, who doesn’t challenge him at all, he goes back to Earth and now he has lost his super strength, he is excited to fight a Monster and have a great battle. Unknowingly, he walks into one and they get sent flying into outer space. This confuses the Caped Baldy as he continues his search for a Monster. Eventually he finds one and decides to test it’s strength by giving it a weak punch. The monster dies in One Punch. He thinks the Monster was just weak and goes to find another. and another. and another. Until he comes face to face with a monster destroying cities at a time. He goes up to that and gives it a light hearted punch, only to be met with the same blood and guts he is ever so used to. Once again, he looks up into the sky, and screams “DAMMIT!” Saitama has just fought of a threat so great not even the entire Hero Association combined could scratch it. Everyone sees this unparalleled feat of strength and he is now recognized as the world’s strongest hero. He is, however, not put into S-Class Rank 1, because the idiots who run the Hero Association were unconcious the whole time. (Bonus 3) The Hero Assosciation see this amazing feat of strength and they give him his own tier, above S-Class. One Punch Man.
How do you guys feel about how the manga went about things compared to the webcomic, i feel in some ways i would have preferred if the manga stuck closer to the webcomic events or atleast didnt remove stuff like garou vs all the s class, im also never a fan of timelines and timetravelling, as now there is effectively a timeline where everyone died and everything was left destroyed, and everyone still alive other then saitama is still in that timeline, right?
The only thing im dissappointed about the manga that the Webcomic did better was Saitama talk no jutsu speech with Garou where he says the YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME line and none of the S class or even saitama himself so him beat Garou except Genos
There are not other timelines, that's just a theory from Genos. We, the audience, see that the time was going backwards, literally. We even see that Murata put a sign saying "end of rewind" So, there is not a timeline in wich all the heroes are dead, or almost everyone on earth... Saitama went back and fix it, it didn't happened at all. Thats why he can't remember it, because it never happened. The core from the future is just an element for the story to be told... That's the only way to give the characters some kind of grow. (sorry for the english, it is not my first language)
totally agree. If it was a different timeline, then present/future Saitama would not have merged and future Garou's 'remnant essence' would not have merged with present Garou
I think murata wants to unleash the theory of multiverse in opm thats why he showed us the very accurate and clear explanation through genos. And most possibly genos would be aware of the saitama merging with each other. He knows everything aas we audience knows
@@imvolbro219 nope, he only assumes, in fact, he specificaly says that. He doesn't know that there was a rewind, neither he knows that Murata gave us a sign "end of rewind" He assumes that Saitama remembers everything, when we know that he forgot🤷♂️. Genos just make a theory, like he always does, overthinking everything
Btw to clarify to people, Garou, when teaching saitama time travel, the very same technique he said he never managed to master it, somehow ACTUALLY does it.. he goes back in time as well but in the state where the powers are leaving him and he is dying. This could be for 2 simple reasons: 1. Garou does not have mastery over time travel, so he couldn't undo the damage God was doing to him, and he couldnt merge with his old self. 2. Garou did master it, and he did properly travel back in time and should have somehow lived and merged, but god's abilities transcend "TIME" and garou's overall level (Which was semi universal at that point). So, all what Garou managed to do is to go back time in his dying state to the point he could see Tareo wake up so his heart is assured. That's all. It was beautiful.
Manga Garou isn’t that aggressive after all, Bang and Tareo really got through him here and made him more human as he become more powerful as a monster, contrast to his counter-part in webcomic who became more crazy as he became more monster. It end in wholesome way unlike webcomic because Garou’s character development in manga is polar opposite, I guess.
Imagine they had a hidden true final arc after the war with god and it is future saitama coming back, now having grown insanely powerful, he wants to make everyone else from the good timeline feel the pain and unfairness he felt from the original timeline. But a more likely scenario is that all of this chapter 166-168 stuff comes into play in the god arc or doesn’t come onto play at all (I hope it does)
And once again, Metal Knight has to step up to clean up the mess. Also since he dismantled Boros' ship, i think he has to notice that something was off, like so many dead monsters inside the ship killed in one hit, and the top of the ship being completely destroyed despite all battle efforts were on the ground. Now he's left with the question of who was fighting Garou
he'll always be victorious in every way.Saitama is a manipulator of laws of casuality. Like giorno. He can reset anything and everything that happened no matter what/how, until he is victorious. (though it was confirmed already by multiple things). And hes a gag as confirmed by the interview of one punch man sunday. gg ez.
Idk yall, I love the webcomic way hell better than the manga, the story was better :/ There was so many great scenes who were a part of the webcomic that I wanted to see in the manga as well I mean this one is still pretty badass and well written, just not as good as the firstho
Tbh, this was nice and all, but I realllllllly miss some of the original dialog from the Web comic. The exchange of ideals really hit home in the web comic while the manga focused of the exchange of blows with emotional weight (i.e. Genos dying].
Not all is lost, honestly. I rather like this one as well, as it is a different path for Garou moving forward. In the Webnovel, Garou's spirit was utterly crushed; he was faced with Saitama, a being who he could never overcome, thus his aspirations would never come to fruition. In the manga, he was defeated, but not utterly crushed. He knew he was defeated, but he wasn't utterly crushed with no path forward in his mind. He himself asked Saitama whether Saitama was confident enough to let him go. Beyond that point of time, being good or evil is now up to him. He has a freedom of choice, now, compared to the Webnovel, where he had no choice--either comply or get crushed. Here, his action would be more genuine moving forward if he were to do good. It adds up with the fact that he was constantly having inner-conflict while/after fighting with his former master, Bang, and while thinking of Tareo (Tereo?), and was constantly saving people here and there before and during his fight with Saitama. It's arguably a better story-writing compared to the Webnovel, where he wanted to become the ultimate evil, so he had no qualms with crushing everyone. In the Manga, despite wanting to become the ultimate evil, he still endeavoured to save people--this action itself has been the underlying goal of his, anyways, which makes his character all the more reasonable. Goes to show that he still had his humanity intact before God imparted a small portion of his power to Garou in order to turn him into his Avatar. But, yeah, I also, somewhat, miss the utter badassery from Saitama as he talked with Garou at the end in the Webnovel.
Not sure the exact quote or if i could the right translation but in the web comic Saitama says something like "Deep down you wanted to be a Hero, but it was just easier to be a Villan."

After 7 long years of wait, we will finally witness the final Garou “transformation”
“Job Hunter Garou” The most chad version of Garou we’ll ever see.
Lmao
LOL
well yes because he has new hairstyle on the webcomic
Bro I just wanna see the fight that he has when he’s looking for a job since it still would be a really good one
Goddammit you're here again
King seems to have realized about his own “power” of influence over others
He always steps up when he has too to protect. "Engine" just always backs him up.
Same power as luffy from one piece
His engine is OPM's version of One Piece Conqueror's haki lol
And when future ass saitamw knocked god from the eye of jupiter to the moon for past present and future he seemed to get de ja vu. Btw heart transplant recipients gain memories from the dead donors so yeah.
He has conquered haki
I like to think that garou attempted the time travel technique like saitama but since his body was destroyed by god, his spirit was able to do so and merge with past garou. Possibly explaining why garou seem to give up when getting beaten to a pulp and possibly feeling what his future self felt.
I didnt even think of that, but it really makes the ghost garou and current garou giving up make so much sense!
Yeah and that kid he was protecting saw a ghost like figure of future garou too.
I totally called that Genos' core would record the alternate timeline. I didn't think this would become apparent so quickly, though. I thought it would be necessary for Kuseno to do some work on it.
I'm surprised King didn't get the credit for the punch lmao
If king got naked. Then he will get the credit😆
@@kennethsalido5785 lol
So now we are going to see Saitama's pet in Manga, can't wait to see it.
I hope Black S becomes a squatter at his place like in the WC
probably monaco too, since she's one of the only few monsters alive, considering she's befriended saitama atleast, im thinking she with black S and good ol rover will become saitamas "pets" and hang in his doghouse
Maybe black sperm, rover, or even monaca
@@dr3ubrub664 If ONE wants to keep Saitama's pets the same, then Manako can at least be Flashy's exotic animal
for sure
That future Garou must be so happy to see Tareo alive.
Overall I think the webcomic version of this part of the arc was better. A lot of things were left out like Fubuki vs Psykos, Garou vs the S class, Saitama's "But you can never defeat me" line and Bang beating Garou out of his monster armor for example.
The manga has better artwork and better fights but I need more than flashy battles, the narrative that backs up the fights makes the fights truly special and I felt like it was all a lot weaker in the manga version. A disappointing conclusion to an otherwise amazing arc.
True plus zombie man wanting to remove his limiter like Saitama did his
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 I can't believe Murata tossed out the Fubuki vs Psykos fight and threw away the opportunity for himself to draw them both a bunch more given that he includes Fubuki on so many covers he obviously likes drawing her.
So many mystery in here
My theory on the core managing to record everything even pass Genos' death, it's cause if Genos ever did die, as a fail safe for Dr. Kuseno, the Dr could still technically revive him, though the difference now is that in a body that's fully mechanical. Dunno how the Dr would just have a brain laying around der. In anycase, that's what I think of the reason why the core manage to do such.
12:58
Those you do not know: 😀
Webcomics readers: 😐
Sweet!! Can’t wait for the next arc
This is nothing but pure Epicness at its finest
My guess is that the reason Genos's core retained information on what happened is because the core *is* Genos (or at least his soul/something like it) (and, you know, has some sensory tech built in, probably).
If im not mistaken, garou turning into salt was taken out of the bible. As lot and his wife and children were granted mercy and allowed to escape before the destruction of sodom and gamora one thing they were told was to not look back. Lot's wife looks back and cries in regret for what has happened to her former home, she was then turned into salt as god saw this as her having mercy on the towns inhabitants who were sinners, much how garou felt bad for killing everyone due to the radiation. Love this kind of stuff, if im missing a detail or two let me know. Zhoniin great stuff
I still don't believe that Metal Knight isn't sus, but that also felt like troll at the end lmao
i just now realized that zhoniin’s profile pic is a fan art of garou, neat!
Where was Metal Knight in the alternate timeline? He wasn't there cleaning up radiation when they returned to earth or showed up in the blast fight. He only arrives after the threat has been defeated and everything is normal in the 2nd timeline like he was waiting for everyone to be killed. This just makes him even more suspicious.
Mean he was there the whole time but don't want to show up even in boros fight also ,upcoming villian who know
May be he died because of cosmic radiation
This is my theory:
Did you noticed when Saitama and Cosmic Garou returned to Earth,All of the Heroes is gone? Only Tareo is left behind because he is a little bit far from the majority of heroes. Maybe Metal Knight evacuated the Heroes from the Z city while Saitama and Garou fought in IO.
Maybe Metal knight saw Blast and wanna see his powers?, like study him from afar? But he still gives off traitor vibes
@@bigpj7359 Yeah maybe it could go either way since it didn't show much.
I think metal knight showing up with his huge army is kinda scary, huge show of force after the hero association is essentially wiped out
I thought it was really anti climatic the way Garou ended.
You're the best opm youtuber. No one uploads as constant and good quality as you
Back before One and Murata decided to rework Garou vs Saitama one problem I had was that nobody saw Saitama beat Garou, which was the catalyst for some pretty important stuff in the webcomic. I figured they would have worked that into the new version, but now even Saitama didn't see Saitama beat Garou, so I wonder how that's going to effect the next arc moving forward
I think it's a rule at this point that in fiction anyone that explained or pretty much mentioned multiverse is pretty much confirmed that, in that particular series multiverse exist. Maybe god is a multiversal entity, given that slapping his hand gave you energy omniscience, not far fetched if his a multiversal entity.
Genos casually saying saitma will win in every universe no matter how much he hold back. Even if it bends causality at his will.
Genos' core probably has a sort of black box-like function implemented by Dr. Kuseno to assist in making improvements to Genos based on battle data. If that's the case, there's no reason why Genos wouldn't have access to core data as well in order to self-improve on the fly.
Yeah that makes sense. I just didn't expect it to have a hidden camera that works when it's not plugged into anything
@@ckowkay I think it will be activated when the core removed from Genos body, because you know he's always falling apart. Dr.Kuseno knows well him.
WEBCOMIC SPOILER:
I wonder if Dr. Kuseno’s death in the manga will now be do to him witnessing some GOD shit through Genos’s core?
@@Crazy_2100 I think it may play out the same way. The manga seems to be setting itself up to flesh out those events in the webcomic with the involvement of Metal Knight here in this chapter. Perhaps he gets a hold of the data and that leads him to develop all those super robots he sent to the doctor's lab? His experimentation on people exposed to the radiation may be what leads to the neo hero association and their cybernetic augmentations.
@@ckowkay it wasn't plugged into anything but it's safe to assume it may have still held some power (think of a laptop entering its lowest powered sleep state), otherwise Saitama wouldn't have made the effort to protect it in battle.
In the panel where Garou disappears before the heroes, i like the nice detail where noone can figure out which way he ran to but Saitama looks up meaning he was the only one who could catch Garou's movements
I mean, it's Saitama.
We the readers as well.
Exactly..I too noticed it
It’s the same as the web comic one too
Its small details like these what makes ONE and Yusuke murata geniuses.
Blast 100% remembers the whole sequence. The other dimension is not influenced by the normal flow of time. That was written specifically for this moment.
Nah time works different then dimension! He went into a new timeline, blast can travel in different parts of the universe lol!
Definitely would not say 100%
100% uncertainty. No source.
wait until the next chapter before you start claiming your statement as facts bro, not that hard
Source: I'm part of Blast's team
King stares Amai Mask's to pure silent is just a gold moment when we know how arrogant Amai Mask can be even if its someone who is stronger than he is.
Yeah 😂😂🔥🔥 that shit was funny. Even Amai mask backed down
yeah, it's really serious, that King simply ignore Amai Mask's capability and give him a sharp stare
King shuts someone up with his glare alone
Amai mask respects king. He's mentioned it before in a conversation with saitama, think it's the Web comics though. Where he wants to turn saitama into what he thinks a true hero is.
King might not have the physicality to be a hero but he definitely has the heart of one and I respect him all the way.
Mumen Rider is the one with the heart.
@@kissme1518 they both have hearts, but king's heart is louder.
What actions does king ever do to show heart? Besides him panicking all the time? Is it the fact he doesn’t pass out from such a surge in blood pressure?
@@henrysosa8565 he's a beacon hope. No one knows he doesn't have powers, but when King does show up everyone gains confidence, everyone becomes sure the battle is winnable. No average Joe can just pull that off.
@@bangerxshane he also defeated a monster from the fear he caused to it
If only Genos could show the core's memory through Projection.
He could do that, he's hooked to the core after all
I think that part wasn't important to the original story and only a means to retcon Saitama involvement.
@@jermainekngdom3154 it wasnt a retcon. The manga rewrote the whole thing but still using webcomic base plot with the addition of god
i think kuseno will see it with genos and they will probably discuss abt it with saitama
I mean it is possible but people might doubt him at first and say that he is malfunctioning or some BS like that
In one sentence Genos says ,
" A new you separated from the original you at the start of your time travel , and merged with the you of this timeline when the movement was completed "
Which means Saitama didn't time travel himself back, but instead a *Clone* of him was created which travelled back in time and fused with the older self after completing the destined job .
Genos also says ,
" The timing of separation & merging maybe a clue to the timing of when the *parallel world spilt off* "
Meaning that there is still a future reality ( which has now become a parallel reality as the result of "reverse of causality" ) in which Genos , garou & other heroes are dead and Saitama still standing naked
True, murata made a point to say that it's a parallel timeline, I wonder what relevance that lonely saitama will have later.
Oh! What if next chapter we get an exposition between blast and alternate timeline saitama?
Then I am scared maybe Evil Saitama theory will become real
@@starbeard5538 this is what im thinking, maybe not even a fully evil saitama just a more depressed saitama considering this version would be living in a barren earth with everyone he knows dead
So, it wasn't a one time clean trade off I see. It comes with a price.
@@ninjahunterx7497 The bill comes due. >___< i'm so scare of a lonely saitama who was left on a barren earth in a parallel timeline. he might build up into a resentful god being that goes around destroying universes as a hobby.
Another important line that Genos said was, "I need to tell this to the people who need to hear it. Its my job as a disciple." So, in upcoming chapters Genos might tell Blast if he appears later because if Blast is unaware of the time travel then he needs to know what actually happened. Genos also saw all about Blast and God in those memories. So he knows how important Blast is in this whole thing. Genos might also tell Bang and even Garou but I think that will happen near the end of series when others will come to know about the truth as well. Now we know that if Saitama can time travel then God most probably can too. We might even see a full blown battle through timelines. Am I over expecting !😂 This legit feels like what a battle between Kang and the Avengers should look like......through universes through timelines.
Lol, i think time travelling fight would conquer every bargains, destroy arcs and timelines, or even reality.
Fax👌👌👌👌👌
@@TOATForShort its just as he said in 4:48, saitama will probably do it again
I'd be ok with Saitama continuing the joke of not being appreciated Association-wise if even just Blast will know the truth
@@TOATForShort Saitama always has the ability he just doesnt remmeber the way, but Genos also has all the memory. So he can tell Saitama whenever needed. Now at this time Genos just thinks that Saitama is pretending to not know but that confusion can be cleared easily.
King stepping up in that moment to do the right thing when so many others were ready to kill, that was a beautiful moment in where he basically fought against the Hero Association and won without throwing a single punch.
The True Zero Punch Man
Kinda dissapointed that Saitama didn't remember his fight with Garou
I think Saiatama pretends he doesn’t remember.
I believe the reason for the Core recording everything is because the Core wasn’t hooked up to Genos, Genos was hooked up to the Core. Garou simply ripped it out of the housing which caused Genos to lose power, but because it wasn’t destroyed, it just quietly kept on running the entire time, recording its surroundings.
Good comment
Yeah, the core is the power supply, but the issue is why does the core has camera's? Maybe to gather data, but in the event of his core being removed Genos is pretty much dead, plus Genos self destruction is done by exploding the core.
@@ninjahunterx7497 It might not have cameras, but rather passive sensors that engage should the core be removed, probably so it can be tracked if stolen.
>Yukio[
@@decimation9780 It's just data Genos has the software to translate it to something resembling a story
Yes, it's a change but I really like that Saitama remembers the events like Platinum S etc.
Even if he doesn't really recall the battle he contended with future Garou.
And Genos remembering a lot since there's two cores.
I think it was garou from future not tareo's dream
Just to see him once more
Maybe he also sent himself back to see the aftermath of Saitama's intervention before dying
King is so nice giving time to other heroes to think he could also use the path of pure dominance but he gave time to think
For me, this episode of manga was really disappointing. Many things had lesser impact than web comic. Some future plots were cut (unless a lot of mental gymnastics will be made). And most important, making Saitama and especially Garou forget what happened, reverse character development they both went through. For me, it made the last few chapters feel like Naturo filler more than One Punch Man.
Tho next chapter will be the last chapter of this arc, so there is STILL a small chance, that the author will fix it, but it's unlikely.
Also, I’ve no idea why Amai Mask, Zombieman and Flashy Flash will go after him now. I’ve deeply desired to see those but ONE pulled a middle finger on us. I really… wished that Saitama would finally get some acknowledgement but they didn’t even see them fight….
@@mondiramaji791 I can still imagine Flashy Flash going after Saitama. After all, Saitama was dodging his attacks, stopped his sword with fingers and was able to follow him when he tried to run away. But others make no sense right now.
I like how everyone is shocked when garou fled not knowing where he went but, there's saitama looking up
Funny if Garou back to that moon lol
@@makosen he lost his cosmic power so maybe not that far to one of Jupiter's moon. But, Earth Moon? Maybe because he 's still far stronger than any S-Class hero. I'm curious about the spine in the moon though.
The zero punch is such an epic name for a move in one punch man, and also makes sense in terms of science as well, as he emerges from the zero point energy field aka a wormhole, he is able to maintain that momentum, delivery a punch which is carrying potential energy from the future.
from the fictional superpower wiki:
"Causality Manipulation"
Users can manipulate causality, the relationship between causes and effects, allowing them to decide what happens and what doesn't, when and how. There is no need for a "why" however, as the why of something is determined by causality itself, which is at the users' command, making it one of the few powers that reasonably don't need a reason.
The causal alterations can be either specific or systemic. Specific alterations are momentary ones, naturally ceasing with their realization i.e. Absolute Wish. Systemic Alterations permanently changes the causal structure of reality, enforcing new chains of fate upon it until the user decides otherwise.
All forms of existence and phenomena rely on causality. Because of this, the power to manipulate it naturally overrides any other power put against it, as they all rely on causality to work.
Guess King is lesser degree of this or at least a beacon for causality manipulation to occur.
Absolutely crazy it explains why saitama would never have lost in any situation
Goku can't do that lol
@@bigpj7359 with your comments here, these tards are gon come here and ruined everything by saying NO GOKU SOLOS HE STILL BEATS SAITAMA'S ASS or whatever the hell they say
I hated it. Wish they’d leave time travel out of it, what a sbame
I think Garous “ghost” showing up makes sense as he did perform the same technique Saitama did. It’s just incomplete because he’s not as powerful.
I believe Metal Knight was the cherry on top. It’s incredible he be on time, aware of every threat and I can’t wait for the secret plan he has up
He is an artificial God watching others fight.
Lmao. Remember how Saitama was recalling something like "A hero's intuition? I never show up on time."
Meanwhile Metal Knight knows what's happening and still doesn't show up on time
@@drakebilowski7557 Metal Knight is on time. His own time
@@susear5939 Yes
Super sus that he shows up when he does, but he didnt in the alternate timeline
King saving Garou is a highlight for me
While I agree that Metal Knight will ultimately have good intentions, his reveal at the end of this chapter is ominous because he had all these resources on standby, just watching as all the heroes fell to the cadres, and only showing up once the threat was over. It gives an incredible sense of “what is this guy capable of, and what is he hiding?
well i mean blast showed up and ended up feeding garou free skills
@@ginger88895 lmfao 😂😂
what a horrible ending the heroes are thugs who hit someone for no reason and saitama lets garou go even though he killed everyone, honestly one of the worst endings i've seen in a manga
isn’t the end
King seems to have entered a mode where he's able to control his aura now. Think about it. He wasn't in danger, nor was he terrified. He merely recognized the situation and exerted his pressure. He legit mastered it and now has full-time access. This is HUGE! Why isn't anyone talking about this?
Edit: Or maybe it was a feeling akin to stage freight created by putting himself in the situation of a lot of pissed off heroes that may have actually been responsible for the intense aura if you wish to remain skeptical.
Good take man! If we consider the latter part of your comment (the "stage fright" scenario) it could be because he's potentially about to come between a big group of highly capable heroes who, in theory, could stomp him. In his mind it would be like stepping between a pack of lions and hyenas who both want to eat the wounded gazelle in the middle.
Either way, King is magnificent ^^
So instead of some s class being aware of saitama's strength after the fight with garou like in the webcomic, were back to genos being the only one aware of what happened, not even saitama knows what he did. I gotta say this is quite interesting. Also it looks like were not gonna get that fubuki vs psykos fight in this arc after all even though psykos was just seen in that earlier chapter.
It looks like they are saving Fubuki vs Psykos for the psychic sisters arc
Its likely blast and metal knight know, blast because of his alternate dimension shenanigans, and metal knight because he HAD to be watching the whole time. Why else would he show up after genos os dealt with, but never in the alternative timeline
Saitama is a manipulator of laws of casuality. Like giorno. He can reset anything and everything that happened no matter what/how, until he is victorious. (though it was confirmed already by multiple things). And hes a gag as confirmed by the interview of one punch man sunday. gg ez.
but what does this mean for Snek
Underwhelming ending of the arc tbh. Webcomic had much more emotional depth and was more fun and exciting at the end imo
So is it infinite timelines or a limited number of timelines regardless of what it is the fact that no matter how many timelines or whatever he did in those timelines HE COULD NOT DEFEAT SAITAMA basically there was no amount of martial arts or technique he used or copying of Saitamas power no plan he could come up with no planet they landed on no amount of running away no amount of hax or abilities he used and no amount of outlasting him was enough to beat him in ANY timeline
My guy is broken
Doesn’t that also imply that in another timeline Garou never showed Saitama how to time travel yet he still found a way to save everyone by breaking time and space?
Probably
@@Jdub3amigo what ?
He meant Saitama would had just bulldozed garou to save genos and everyone he strength would had just punch through time
Metal knight chose not to show up at that point in time in the other timeline. This shows that he doesn't have enough heroic tendencies due to the fact that he would have left everyone to die when he knows that the problem is still ongoing.
he doesnt even pilot the mech right? so why even bother?
I am not really sure about that... the fight between Saitama and Godrou was super fast and didn't probably last much considering their speed was above everything seen. Like the fight in Jupiter could have happened in less than 5 minutes
I'm pretty sure Metal Knight just knows everything.Thats why he always shows up seconds after the fight is over. He probably knows what happened and what Saitama is capable of. Villian for sure 👍.
I really want to see Garou’s character going forward. I know he’ll have a major self reflection. I’m also curious whether he will be able to surpass his cosmic form by breaking his limiter (even if he doesn’t remove it completely like Saitama did). Also I really want to see Metal Knight get some action in upcoming arcs.
Metal Knight has to be evil. In all of the major fights he doesn't even bother helping and only shows up at the end to gain from them.
@@cyberstonks you sure about that it's metal bat?
@@cyberstonks no, in webcomic he is one of the main hero that still does his job as a hero, the real bad guy is metal knight
They ended this exactly like the webcomic while keeping the gimmick alive where Saitama was revealed in the webcomic. So garou becomes a hero as a half monster. They kinda screwed it up trying to keep the gimmick. The webcomic is better.
@@jermainekngdom3154 it’s pretty good. I’d say the climax in the webcomic was more impactful even if I believe the manga’s was more intricate. Personally I prefer the manga because the events and characters seem far more layered but the webcomic does better at building suspense and is probably worth more for entertainment value.
I think future Garou fused with his present self, cause when he shattered, his pieces must have flew back to his present self, just like what happened with Saitama, since both of them where involved in the Time Travel. Garou was able to travel back in time along with Saitama just before completely dieing as a Soul or something similar to this current timeline.
Well, it said in chapter that Garou kinda accept his defeat calmly (instead of throw a fit like in webcomic) because his future-self so I think that’s very possible.
Except Garou said his version was imperfect. So that ghost thing Tareo saw was likely all Garou could actually do.
@@frenchfriedbagel7035 thats sad
they missed comedic points webcomic has, actual character development for garo, bang scolding garo which i think was really important, like, to me it is disappointing , and the whole saitama vs garo that lead into this and got redrawn?
I love the panel showing how Noone saw which direction Garou went in except Saitama who saw that he leaped up, just another subtle illustration that Saitama is on a different level to all the other heroes present.
It's mean Garou was MFTL
Metal Knight is definitely a good guy. He just operates on a higher lvl on 🌎 like Blast does beyond. MK can seem evil because he makes calculated, rational choices that will result in the most good.
. Makes sense
He‘s thinking like a computer
hmmm in the webcomic, seems like metal knight is the only one can pull off a robot invasion :/ also drive knight knows that metal is a threat which he told to genos.
@@fogz It seemed like there was only one hero organisation til there wasn't just one.
@@fogz I'm sure that the organization could do it regardless of Metal Knight
Saitama might get his recognition if he is reviewed by metal knight to have the most radiation which would mean he was the closest to garou or even there being radiation on his fist
I agree! Is it also possible that perhaps Saitama won’t have any radiation on him as it has no effect on him thus leaving no trace?
@@thebeyonder5032 True but I think If anything Genos or blast might speak the truth
That core is gonna play a huge role in a future arc I think. It could be used for combat data for the organization to create a being or AI as powerful as Saitama was with that "current" power up until Saitama just raises the bar a bit higher to totally dominate. Maybe like a Cell situation, implementing data from Blast, Garou and Saitama. Metal Knight and Drive Knight are definitely going to play a huge role in it, I think Metal Knight's real top feats are going to be pretty insane when we finally see it.
hahaha possible but not what you're narrating coz story wise sucks 🤣
The fact that saitama returned back to his nerfed form was necessary because at this rate he might have obliterated the entire solar system with an accidental fart after a few tacos. But well, this still doesnt change the fact that Saitama can instantly grow to universal threat within nano seconds... and he still invincible anyway.
I wish they would have put the epic long conversation between Saitama and Garou." WHY ARE YOU A HERO?" Then Saitama picks his nose and just says he does it for fun. Garou became a monster and Saitama pointed out he had no confidence to be a hero. He really needed that reality check, but we just didn't get that in this chapter.
We don’t need that “I do it for fun” part anymore right after seeing Saitama like that in the fight so that’s good.
I wonder how this will affect ZombieMans training arc, in the original webcomic he witnessed the serious table flip and decided to meet Doctor Genius to train to remove his limiter like Saitama but in the Manga he did not witness the serious table flip so I wonder if there was going to be a training arc for him.
And that would make for such good content
He might decide to get stronger because he realised how much of a limiting factor his weak body was against HE I guess?
I’m personally just waiting for the Apple scene with king.
Maybe instead of questioning Dr.Genus about Saitama's strength, he would probably ask him about the existence of God and then Genus will bring up the limiter part.
Remember there's still a way for him to witness the table flip.
I think not only Genos that know about the alternate future, i think Metal Knight would also know through his investigations in the site detecting an anomaly of space-time. In a way this would connect to Metal Knight-Genos-Drive Knight conflict for the later story.
I think Blast would also aware of Saitama due to him being outside of the dimension, making him possibly not worry about Earth that much and not appear for sometimes until future events.
So it’s been confirmed in this chapter that their are alternate realities/timelines and that Genos remembered everything from the Future Timeline.
If this was alternate timelines, it's mean real timelines is gone?
@@makosen not gone
its still there and it will work just like this timeline
and maybe we see it in future
It’s sad we never got the “but you can never defeat me” speech from saitama
How can Saitama say that if Saitama doesn't remember anything today 😥 i feel something unsatisfied in this part
I didn't like this chapter, bc if they went back in time and Saitama and Garou don't remember everything that just throws their character development from Ch.168 to the trash
I can't wait to see Murata draw Saitama vs Tatsumaki, we are almost there.
Btw. where is rover and the sperm guy tailing saitama in the webcomic.
This series is unstoppable 😩🔥🔥
Im going to give 3 different endings based on what i know:
Saitama fights God, who doesn’t challenge him at all, he goes back to earth and now all the monsters are gone and everyone is normal again (Except Genos who continues stalking Saitama)
Saitama fights God, who doesn’t challenge him at all, he goes back to Earth and now he has lost his super strength, he is excited to fight a Monster and have a great battle. Unknowingly, he walks into one and they get sent flying into outer space. This confuses the Caped Baldy as he continues his search for a Monster. Eventually he finds one and decides to test it’s strength by giving it a weak punch. The monster dies in One Punch. He thinks the Monster was just weak and goes to find another. and another. and another. Until he comes face to face with a monster destroying cities at a time. He goes up to that and gives it a light hearted punch, only to be met with the same blood and guts he is ever so used to. Once again, he looks up into the sky, and screams “DAMMIT!”
Saitama has just fought of a threat so great not even the entire Hero Association combined could scratch it. Everyone sees this unparalleled feat of strength and he is now recognized as the world’s strongest hero. He is, however, not put into S-Class Rank 1, because the idiots who run the Hero Association were unconcious the whole time.
(Bonus 3) The Hero Assosciation see this amazing feat of strength and they give him his own tier, above S-Class. One Punch Man.
Saitama will end the fight with one punch against god, its a clear ending
I think they will change his hero name from Caped Baldy to One Punch Man by the end of the series.
@@humansfromearth but then in Saitama fashion, he's gonna accept his original moniker "Caped Baldy" in the most chad way possible lol 😂
Saitama will not lose his powers. His power is his and his alone. There’s nothing giving him his strength in any way. That’s confirmed by Dr Genus
I don't think Saitama will defeat God anytime soon plus it would take more than 1 punch.
Opm future timeline reminds me of BvS and ZSJL knightmare future.
How do you guys feel about how the manga went about things compared to the webcomic, i feel in some ways i would have preferred if the manga stuck closer to the webcomic events or atleast didnt remove stuff like garou vs all the s class, im also never a fan of timelines and timetravelling, as now there is effectively a timeline where everyone died and everything was left destroyed, and everyone still alive other then saitama is still in that timeline, right?
Webcomic was much better.
200k😱😱, I swear, it feels like you had 30k a couple weeks ago
I mean blast NEED to show up, he was teleporting back to earth after all
The only thing im dissappointed about the manga that the Webcomic did better was Saitama talk no jutsu speech with Garou where he says the YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME line and none of the S class or even saitama himself so him beat Garou except Genos
There are not other timelines, that's just a theory from Genos. We, the audience, see that the time was going backwards, literally. We even see that Murata put a sign saying "end of rewind"
So, there is not a timeline in wich all the heroes are dead, or almost everyone on earth... Saitama went back and fix it, it didn't happened at all. Thats why he can't remember it, because it never happened.
The core from the future is just an element for the story to be told... That's the only way to give the characters some kind of grow.
(sorry for the english, it is not my first language)
Finally a correct comment
totally agree. If it was a different timeline, then present/future Saitama would not have merged and future Garou's 'remnant essence' would not have merged with present Garou
I think murata wants to unleash the theory of multiverse in opm thats why he showed us the very accurate and clear explanation through genos. And most possibly genos would be aware of the saitama merging with each other. He knows everything aas we audience knows
@@imvolbro219 nope, he only assumes, in fact, he specificaly says that. He doesn't know that there was a rewind, neither he knows that Murata gave us a sign "end of rewind"
He assumes that Saitama remembers everything, when we know that he forgot🤷♂️. Genos just make a theory, like he always does, overthinking everything
@@numbers93 you're right...
Btw to clarify to people, Garou, when teaching saitama time travel, the very same technique he said he never managed to master it, somehow ACTUALLY does it.. he goes back in time as well but in the state where the powers are leaving him and he is dying. This could be for 2 simple reasons:
1. Garou does not have mastery over time travel, so he couldn't undo the damage God was doing to him, and he couldnt merge with his old self.
2. Garou did master it, and he did properly travel back in time and should have somehow lived and merged, but god's abilities transcend "TIME" and garou's overall level (Which was semi universal at that point).
So, all what Garou managed to do is to go back time in his dying state to the point he could see Tareo wake up so his heart is assured. That's all. It was beautiful.
Genos has also forgotten
NO MORE THAN 20 WORDS
OR LESS
Now Saitama can finally kill mosquito with power upgrade
Can't wait for tatsumaki vs saitama 😂 *maybe 4 or 10 chapter i guess
Looks like you want to see how they destroyed the newly built City😆
@@kennethsalido5785 yup and some rank A heroes who want to fight with saitama 🤣
For me this is weak finale. Because there is not outburst or speech of garou against the Hero society. No he just fly away.
Manga Garou isn’t that aggressive after all, Bang and Tareo really got through him here and made him more human as he become more powerful as a monster, contrast to his counter-part in webcomic who became more crazy as he became more monster. It end in wholesome way unlike webcomic because Garou’s character development in manga is polar opposite, I guess.
I’m reading it right now. Man Genos still can’t keep it down to 20 words or less lol
The reason why the punch reversed causality is because saitama was travelling backwards in time while punching garou. Thats it.
Now Blast is known for flashing while Flashy Flash is fully clothed.
Hahaha I think they thought it was Blast who was naked😆
Imagine they had a hidden true final arc after the war with god and it is future saitama coming back, now having grown insanely powerful, he wants to make everyone else from the good timeline feel the pain and unfairness he felt from the original timeline.
But a more likely scenario is that all of this chapter 166-168 stuff comes into play in the god arc or doesn’t come onto play at all (I hope it does)
Are we sure we’re talking about “Saitama” when you said “make everyone feel the pain he felt”? How do you guys manage to think of such utter garbage?
And once again, Metal Knight has to step up to clean up the mess. Also since he dismantled Boros' ship, i think he has to notice that something was off, like so many dead monsters inside the ship killed in one hit, and the top of the ship being completely destroyed despite all battle efforts were on the ground.
Now he's left with the question of who was fighting Garou
"I'll leave tomorrow's problem to tomorrow's me"
-past Saitama
Bruh Saitama is overpowered that he will always save anyone via fate manipulation lmao
he'll always be victorious in every way.Saitama is a manipulator of laws of casuality. Like giorno. He can reset anything and everything that happened no matter what/how, until he is victorious. (though it was confirmed already by multiple things). And hes a gag as confirmed by the interview of one punch man sunday. gg ez.
Very Epic ❤
Idk yall, I love the webcomic way hell better than the manga, the story was better :/ There was so many great scenes who were a part of the webcomic that I wanted to see in the manga as well
I mean this one is still pretty badass and well written, just not as good as the firstho
I can’t believe you dropped this rn😭
Thanks a lot
zhonin that core was able to create a blast strong enough to hold it's own against psycrochi and your suprised it can record things? seriously?
Garou energy probably the reason genos core keep recording coz of its nuc energy it powered it.
Ay you might have a point on that
It's kinda heartbreaking moment to see Garou smile to Tareo and disappear after
Tbh, this was nice and all, but I realllllllly miss some of the original dialog from the Web comic. The exchange of ideals really hit home in the web comic while the manga focused of the exchange of blows with emotional weight (i.e. Genos dying].
Not all is lost, honestly. I rather like this one as well, as it is a different path for Garou moving forward.
In the Webnovel, Garou's spirit was utterly crushed; he was faced with Saitama, a being who he could never overcome, thus his aspirations would never come to fruition.
In the manga, he was defeated, but not utterly crushed. He knew he was defeated, but he wasn't utterly crushed with no path forward in his mind. He himself asked Saitama whether Saitama was confident enough to let him go. Beyond that point of time, being good or evil is now up to him. He has a freedom of choice, now, compared to the Webnovel, where he had no choice--either comply or get crushed. Here, his action would be more genuine moving forward if he were to do good. It adds up with the fact that he was constantly having inner-conflict while/after fighting with his former master, Bang, and while thinking of Tareo (Tereo?), and was constantly saving people here and there before and during his fight with Saitama. It's arguably a better story-writing compared to the Webnovel, where he wanted to become the ultimate evil, so he had no qualms with crushing everyone. In the Manga, despite wanting to become the ultimate evil, he still endeavoured to save people--this action itself has been the underlying goal of his, anyways, which makes his character all the more reasonable. Goes to show that he still had his humanity intact before God imparted a small portion of his power to Garou in order to turn him into his Avatar.
But, yeah, I also, somewhat, miss the utter badassery from Saitama as he talked with Garou at the end in the Webnovel.
@@entitylxx9528 na I agree with op. This only keeps the status quo.
@@entitylxx9528 damn bro, very well said.
Lazy writing + Amazing Art : One Punch Man
I got one question though and I do agree on lazy writing but how do you think it's lazy exactly?
Not sure the exact quote or if i could the right translation but in the web comic Saitama says something like
"Deep down you wanted to be a Hero, but it was just easier to be a Villan."
God vs saitama
Evil saitama vs saitama
Tatsumaki vs saitama
Saitama is S class the end ummm
Can’t wait for neo heroes arc
