    For all his talk about being a monster, it doesn't seem like Garo ever actually kills anybody.

    Anyway, the idea of Saitama being in a shonen tournament arc is hilarious. I hope this proves entertaining.

    I also was thinking about how Garo does not kill anyone.
    We also understand with that ep that he is very strong and talented, but not over the top yet.
    I also want to know how he wakes up after being oneshot by a small unmuscular baldy with a "oppaļ" shirt

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Hahaha, he just took out the big bad while shopping. OPM will be OPM.

    re: Garo killing - Garo chopped off the hands of one of the A-rank dudes in the initial "Ruffians Meeting". Without immediate and proper medical care that guy would be pretty dead.

    Garo]I also want to know how he wakes up after being oneshot by a small unmuscular baldy with a "oppaļ" shirt
    As for Garo, he's almost Saiyan-like. He learns to adapt to people who "nearly kill him" and grow strong.

    As for "attitude"-wise, he'll now be learning through the tournament that Silverfang's prised student Charanko beat the shit out of him. xD

    One of the OVAs hinted at Bang being super fast - faster* than Saitama when he's somewhat pissed off. It'll be interesting to see Saitama get a bit more of a challenge when this guy is actually fast enough to land hits that might be "annoyingly painful".










    * - I don't actually believe anyone to be faster than Saitama if he's super serious.

    I also just bothered to read the credits and the studio's changed from Madhouse to JC Staff. Considering that, season 2's appearance has held up surprisingly well.

    Realistically, yes. But:

    A. He's an anime character, they can survive crazy shit.
    B. Inside Superhero HQ probably has immediate medical care.

    The Sword disciple of Atom-Samurai lost an entire arm and didn't really care about it.
    Getting the shit beaten out of them is no problem for superheroes.

    Bicycle Guy is more or less a normal dude and should have died a thousand deaths already.

    We can be pretty certain that unless they say "I've killed him" or something like that, that everyone is absolutely fine... or at least survived the battle, wether they are crippled afterwards is another story.

    Though I have to say, this season is really bloody so far.

    It was also funny to me how Blizzard didn't even seem to, like, ask permission to hang out or anything.

    Like if she just doesn't leave, she'll be included in the group by default.

    Any hot woman is a welcome addition to a sausage party.

    In fact, OPM's greatest weakness is not having more women.

    They won't be crippled if they eat bananas. Everybody knows that.

    No one understands that it is the rich nutrition content of bananas that gave Bald Cape his power and the color of his costume. He actually looks like a peeled banana with that bald head.

    One thing bothered me:

    Saitama knocked out Garou with a punch - when was it established that Saitama can hold back enough to not insta-kill someone?

    Huh? He's not in a habit of killing random humans. He only one punch kills monsters. If his touch was an obligatory disaster, he wouldn't be able to live a normal life at all. In reality he can even play video games without destroying the controller, most of the time. It's no problem for him to knock someone out if he can judge the correct amount of force needed. Of course that's the difficult part, but looking at his expression, I don't think he really cares. Perhaps he simply judged that the dude must be able to stand a bit more force than what he himself used against Saitama and went with that.

    If he had punched him, he would've gotten blown away. A chop is just enough to move him from the path to the wig.

    Saitama can restrain himself if he wants to. He blew off that hammerhead guy's robotic armor back in season 1 without harming him. He also knocked out Sonic on a few occasions.

    Since the snake-style guy that tried to newbie crush him when he first joined the organization.

    He's fought several humans already and never killed any of them.

    Ok, thx. I kinda had in my head that part of Saitama's problems was that he's too strong and always kills enemies in one blow.

    It is a part of his problems. He got bored of fights because they pose no challenge for him. When he knows he can end every fight with a single punch, it doesn't really matter if he can hold back and not do it. If it's a fight, that is. Obviously something like dealing with a strange dude getting between him and a wig isn't a fight at all as far as he's concerned.

    It also means that he doesn't always gauge his strength well.

    That IS his problem, as he states it.

    But he seems unwilling to handicap himself against monsters to make the fights more interesting.

    Although maybe that's some actual righteousness from him. i.e. "I'd LIKE to hold back and make this fight more fun, but these are monsters that kill people so I won't."
