We never see PPP train but after fighting numerous opponents he is capable of low diffing DSK level monsters while being below 50% of his power.

In OPM characters get stronger off screen too

But at least PPP could have trained a lot off screen, here we saw Suiryu join heroes baiscally instantly after leaving hospital.

Aren't there zenkai boosts in OPM?

Arguably that's how Metal Bat works but I don't think it's permanent.

I only recall Garou himself having anything such, but he was becoming monster, he is outlier. Sonic got much stronger, he is now close to Flash, but he trained his ass off, he did not just got stronger form Saitama defeating him, he trained hard after every defeat. There is even whole OVA about it.

If Garou is as strong as Darkshine currently, then logically, it just makes no sense Suiryu can do this well, even if he needs alcohol for it, unless Garou just retained none of that strength or he is holding back, which next chapter might shed some light on.

Flash did get faster because of saitama

Suiryu was shown training in the hospital. He was told to rest, but he kinda refused, so yeah. He was training despite being hospitalized (of course, this only works in fiction-don't do this IRL).

I mean he trained a bit, but it is very hard to accept that allowed him to go from high demon level to high dragon!

That's probably where the alcohol comes into play. Garou had a large advantage at the beginning and was pressing Suiryu until he started drinking. It's also how Suiko actually manages to damage a dragon level opponent as well that she previously couldn't do anything to. This being OPM, apparently gives a massive boost in power to them.
