so saitama grew stronger in this fight ?
- Thread starter Zolo
- Start date
I think it makes sense tho right?
This is why he can't insta one shot "certain" characters like Garou or Boros. Because he wasn't "infinitely powerful" right from the getgo.
To address:
Won't it defeat the purpose of this character? The character, is by design, meant to represent some form of infinity after all. He is representation of "limitless"
He indeed is limitless.
His growth rate is limitless. What is infinite about him, is his potential, not his power level at any given moment.
BOS Saitama peaked at that level, merely because there was no challenge to him. So, he subconsciously stopped growing any stronger. Once Garou started approaching BOS Saitama levels, then his adrenaline kicked in, and he started growing at a rapid pace where it became impossible for Garou to even dream of matching him anymore.
Smart writing IMHO.
The manga showed Saitama to be the limitless character that he was established to be. While still limiting his power level (at a given time) to the point where he can still give us top quality fights against powerful characters, without it seeming like some BS regarding why he doesn't just insta one shots
@Bob74h
bought up great points tho.
You're right, the manga seems inconsistent there. But maybe it is because Saitma didn't know he can get stronger until he did?

He doesnt get stronger . And boros and garou were kinda equals... we still need to see anyone who would be able to chalange him.... here he needed to get stronger becouse garou reached hes strenght.... for me this is just stupid ... also there is no mystery about god anymore... he is real
Not to mention how terrible the writing got... people like trash novadays so no surprise... its still better than most new mangas.... so I guess it looks good

yes but that's the problem
he's not supposed to get stronger
that's the idea behind his character
he's a lv 100 video game in the start of the game. he's max lv
that's literally what he tells king
When you max out, your character
there's nothing left to do so it get's boring.

Apparently the manga deviates from the webcomic because jackass social media influencers made video trainings about Saitama's workout. Then, ONE and Murata thought they could milk the cow and transform the parody into first degree neketsu shonen manga. In other words, the anime's popularity modified the manga that killed the webcomic :laughmoji:
I don't think it contradicts the notion of his limiter being broken. Broken limiter doesn't mean that he is limitlessly strong, but that he can keep growing endlessly depending on the stimuli. I personally have no complaints. Murata does a great job, especially regarding the art and his ideas are approved by ONE, so him taking a different route from the web comic to express his own ideas is fine.
