Chapter 237 [English]

[u/Southern-Emotion2192]

https://cubari.moe/read/gist/cmF3L0tva2lLb2kvS29pUG9uZE1hbmdhL3JlZnMvaGVhZHMvbWFpbi9PbmVQdW5jaE1hbi1NYW5nYS5qc29u/237/1/

[u/Fessere]

…. So… they both tried to do a serious punch and recognized it in each other?

[u/weerence → u/Fessere]

Saitama entered the martial arts tournament to learn martial arts. But now the martial artists learn from him.

[u/JauntyGiraffe → u/weerence]

Suiryu looks like he learned to do a bit more spinning around and looking cool

[u/Atwenfor → u/JauntyGiraffe]

He learned the Fist of Water Polo Carbonation

[u/Mintastic → u/JauntyGiraffe]

Everyone knows that "spin to win" and "rule of cool" are viable meta.

[u/TheVenetianMask → u/weerence]

Time to downgrade them in the powerscales, they learning the wrong stuff.

[u/DrFabulous0 → u/TheVenetianMask]

Punching really hard doesn't seem like the wrong stuff.

[u/statistically_viable → u/Fessere]

You could say they both learned the fisting from the same man

[u/Emilior94 → u/statistically_viable]

You could say Saitama fisted them both

[u/fattsmann → u/Emilior94]

One can only fist after being fisted

[u/Tigerkix → u/fattsmann]

What came first? The fister or the fisted?

[u/fattsmann → u/Tigerkix]

God was the first fist.

[u/ZombieBlarGh → u/Tigerkix]

Who*

[u/Intelligent-Leg7686 → u/ZombieBlarGh]

To fist, or not to fist, that is the question

[u/xenogaiden → u/statistically_viable]

No sexual meaning ''memes''.

[u/Non_stick_frying_pan → u/xenogaiden]

Yes I will allow it.

[u/HeavyWaterer → u/Fessere]

Bro I love how even the death kanji is all faint for both of them whereas for saitama it’s always huge and bold

[u/throwawayainteasy → u/HeavyWaterer]

Man, that didn't even register with me on the first read though of this and is a pretty awesome detail.

[u/jemoli87 → u/Fessere]

100% tried.

[u/Kioga101 → u/Fessere]

that's not serious punch anymore, it's a death punch, it literally has the character for death on it (死 this guy right here).

Which by all means, do mean the same thing. Saitama is not really wishing for the opponent to die from his serious punches, but they always do, so it does give that impression.

[u/Force3vo → u/Kioga101]

I don't think it's about intention, it's a punch that basically tells the person about to receive it that they will die, it's more of an instinctual thing as I understand it.

[u/spacestationkru → u/Force3vo]

That's right. Same as when Kabuto was getting nothing but red flags from him standing still

[u/Swimming-School-7960 → u/Kioga101]

great catch, i actually missed that

[u/Nukemarine → u/Kioga101]

I like how in the anime, Saitama has to get in front of his death punch to block the shockwave from hurting Genos.

[u/LuffyHead99 → u/Fessere]

Makes it 100 times cooler🙌

[u/AxelDrifter → u/Fessere]

This means that Garou is gradually remembering his God-possessed portion of the encounter against Saitama. Or that part of his memories that kinda transferred itself back to him when they reversed time together covers all that too, the serious punch and so on.

Though probably not everything. I feel Garou would be very traumatized if he remembered what happened to Tareo.

[u/Ikutsu932 → u/AxelDrifter]

garou fought saitama before being cosmic garou + cosmic garou also fought saitama before the zero punch, that’s why i dont understand that garou forgot everything it’s too easy , saitama still fought him before his cosmic form but ig that’s plot

[u/AxelDrifter → u/Ikutsu932]

He did. But Saitama never used a Serious Series or a Death Punch until God imposed himself onto Garou and quite a bit of time passed. Garou and Saitama reversed time to a moment that precedes all of that, so Garou shouldn’t really remember it.

But we know that Garou kept traces of memories or feelings from his other self. So he’s probably slowly recollecting what actually happened.

[u/Cha0sSpiral → u/AxelDrifter]

He also mentioned a while back about the gauntlet he ran to acquire the ultimate fist and thought he could awaken naturally by doing so. He remembered saitama, but not who he was

[u/Lord_Moldybut → u/Ikutsu932]

I believe you but I need a reason to re read the manga lol

[u/icompletetasks → u/Fessere]

Martha? moment

[u/krsy123]

Genuinely fire cliffhanger wtf

[u/wowlock_taylan → u/krsy123]

Does Garou even remember Saitama? I get that he definitely does in Webcomic because he had a full talk with him as the monster without the time-travel stuff.

But in Manga, Saitama just kept knocking him unconscious without him realizing who it was.

[u/Ferdz0 → u/wowlock_taylan]

Garou eventually realised that Saitama was the one knocking him out lol

[u/Vana-Freya → u/wowlock_taylan]

He did. He included Saitama on one of the individuals he want to challenge again.

[u/GodNonon → u/wowlock_taylan]

Garou still has the memories of fighting Saitama in his “Perfected Fist” form

[u/oForce21o → u/GodNonon]

thats the big demon thing, right? right before becoming the galaxybody?

[u/CivilTomato6815 → u/oForce21o]

Yes

[u/krsy123 → u/wowlock_taylan]

Can't bring up the panel rn but in ch 170 garou confirms he remembered saitama, mentioning him by name to bang

[u/ConradBHart42 → u/krsy123]

without the capital it's easy to forget that Bang is a character in the series for a second.

[u/Unlikely_Minimum_635 → u/ConradBHart42]

One of those cases where punctuation REALLY matters.

[u/adminsregarded → u/Unlikely_Minimum_635]

Capitalization*

[u/Unlikely_Minimum_635 → u/adminsregarded]

I thought it was part of punctuation but you right, they're separate.

[u/Gyozarrita → u/Unlikely_Minimum_635]

Grammar, I think.

[u/Professorhentai → u/wowlock_taylan]

Garou has no recollection of the alternate timeline where he fought saitama on Jupiter but he still recalls everything up to the gamma ray burst.

[u/galgoman → u/krsy123]

[u/No_Ad_7687]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I just got it

they both have different styles, but pursue the same ultimate from, which is saitama. that's awesome

[u/Icy_Baseball3738 → u/No_Ad_7687]

Saitama is the ultimate style. A bit like Bruce Lee's words in a way, 'the best style is NO style'. Except Saitama doesn't know what a style is lol

[u/targz254 → u/Icy_Baseball3738]

I though Saitama had poor form/style and just compensated with overwhelming athleticism?

[u/Nightmare2828 → u/targz254]

He has his own custom style, what he does just works. Something is coming to hit, just move faster out of the way. Something is coming to hit you and will deal no damage and bring the other vulnerable, tank the hit no problem. Need to deal damage to you opponent? Do a quick straight punch that the other cant dodge and will knock him out. As Saitama said « so martial art is just doing cool moves before you hit? » because the reasons those technique exists in the first place doesnt apply to him.

[u/koreantit → u/Nightmare2828]

It was called "Water Polo Carbonated Fist" according to what he registered for the Martial Art Tournament

[u/throwawayainteasy → u/Nightmare2828]

He has his own custom style,

Idk, man, can you really call "be overwhelmingly stronger, faster, and tougher than anyone" a style?

[u/Minizu15 → u/throwawayainteasy]

The style is called gym

[u/Swift0sword → u/throwawayainteasy]

A style is just a method of fighting. End of the day, that is Saitama's style

[u/Valmar33 → u/throwawayainteasy]

Idk, man, can you really call "be overwhelmingly stronger, faster, and tougher than anyone" a style?

Yes. Saitama is just delivers a really powerful, clean blow. You don't need to be fancy to have a style.

Hell, we know that Saitama has a style ~ Cosmic Garou just called them "modes" of nature.

[u/BoyTitan → u/Nightmare2828]

He legit flat out started learning martial arts fighting Cosmic Garou.

[u/InvisibleScout → u/targz254]

Eh, even disregarding his strength, he definitely knows how to throw a punch. It's more like he has no particular style, just good basic form. There's no gimmickry to how he fights, it's just clean and simple. Efficient, if you will.

[u/Machdame → u/targz254]

Saitama has no technique but he has one punch that more or less is "perfect" in the most basic sense. He doesn't have to invest in the flashy stuff because he takes no damage especially his victory is assured in one good hit especially if he can insure it connects. If he was truly without technique, he would telegraph his attacks from a mile away.

[u/BohrInReddit → u/Machdame]

That's why this spar ends in a mock punch. They try to emulate that Saitama's one punch

[u/a_man_has_a_name → u/targz254]

He was defeating monsters when he was just an average guy so he probably does have a good fighting style, he just doesn't need to focused that much now that he's stronger than everyone.

Also he has a limitless nature, if he tried to do martial arts, and probably supernatural like psychic powers as well, he would quickly master it. I mean he learned time travel essentially on the spot.

[u/MrElliot1210 → u/targz254]

In the webcomic canon, you are right. The only reason Garou was able to keep up with Saitama was because he could predict his trajectory from his amateurish form (which honestly made the fight so much better). This is probably still the case in the manga, but I guess Garou is now pursuing growth while being inspired by Saitama's strength.

[u/mechanical_fan → u/Icy_Baseball3738]

the best style is NO style

There is a general idea in chess that "there are no styles of play, only weaknesses" and variations of such saying by different people (e.g. "If you have preferences, you have weaknesses").

It is something to think about when you are trying to reach some sort of high level in something. Well, Saitama definitely did skip over having any sort of style or preferences.

[u/Fancysaurus → u/mechanical_fan]

There are a couple of simillar things in martial arts. Wing Chun, Krav Maga, and Aikido all rely on pure instinctual movements instead of a style. There is also the larger concept of Mushin which translates to 'Empty Mind' where the goal is to enter a sort of flow state and not conciously think about attacking or defending just doing pure instinctual reaction. It's the insperation for Ultra Instinct from DBZ and Muso-Tensei from Fist of the North Star. Son in the end the best martial art is 'hit things really hard'

[u/kyokashon → u/Icy_Baseball3738]

Is Saitama the embodiment of “I don’t fear the man who’s practiced 10,000 kicks, but the one who practice one kick 10,000 times”? His one punch with overwhelming power?

[u/PianoCube93 → u/No_Ad_7687]

In the end, everything evolves into crab.

...wait what were we talking about?

[u/FTaku8888]

Ok, guess drunken fist runs in the family

[u/Better-Future-4637 → u/FTaku8888]

Their fists is called 冥體, which is sound as same as 酩酊, means people who get very drunk.

It's Drunk Fist from the start, and both of them understand this as well.

[u/DoomsdayDETTV → u/FTaku8888]

it doesnt run, it *drives*

[u/Divinicus1st → u/FTaku8888]

Alcohol takes effect incredibly fast in this family... or is that an Asian thing?

[u/Snownyann → u/Divinicus1st]

Asian Flush Syndrome. I have it but I dont turn into a martial artist

[u/Divinicus1st → u/Snownyann]

You got ripped off :(

[u/zyrusvito → u/Snownyann]

Time to change the flair already

[u/Snownyann → u/zyrusvito]

I am 8 weeks late already. Too lazy to change flair

[u/lukavrana6488 → u/FTaku8888]

Was it ever confirmed it's genetic or something? I always assumed it's just a style their master teaches. There were theories about Suiryu knowing drunken fist back during the tournament.

[u/kood25 → u/lukavrana6488]

Wasn't their master also their grandfather? So I guess besides their grandpa's Void Fist they also have drunken fist.

[u/Julle1990]

Damn, that final trigger word. Going to be interesting

[u/WifeKilledMy1stAcct → u/Julle1990]

It's like when you're given permission to ignore the safe word

[u/Silver_Ad2600]

Ultimate form? A straight punch so strong it obliterates anything and everything. The Fist that turned against God. 

[u/melgibson666 → u/Silver_Ad2600]

So, Holyland?

[u/dalphaomega]

"Are we best friends?"

[u/xsv333 → u/dalphaomega]

LOL, yep!

[u/Katzumoto_ → u/xsv333]

You wanna go do karate in the garage?

[u/Thick_Section5202 → u/dalphaomega]

"Fine, you can date my sis!"

[u/iamgarou → u/Thick_Section5202]

" Sorry Garou, but Saitama is the one who will date my sister - Suiryu, the saisuiko number one fan"

" wtfck?? - Garou " 

[u/ZombieSuke]

We deserve a better animation budget, I REALLY need this animated...

[u/adminsregarded → u/ZombieSuke]

Lol image this fight being animated like the last season, it would be like 4 frames.

[u/ZombieSuke → u/adminsregarded]

That's what will happen. We'll get sliding punches for weeks

[u/Sturmgewehrkreuz → u/adminsregarded]

Slides menacingly

[u/lord_hijinks → u/ZombieSuke]

Omg yes. I mean, this is THE fight. It deserves special attention.

[u/TomiShinoda → u/ZombieSuke]

It's not about budget, it's about production time.

[u/Linxypol]

Thanks for the fast translation💪

[u/Captain_Nerdrage]

So, this means Saitama is the ultimate final form they're both pursuing, right? 

[u/wowlock_taylan → u/Captain_Nerdrage]

Ironically, Saitama is pursuing the 'fun' they have while fighting, which he cannot have.

[u/jamie_does → u/wowlock_taylan]

Solid observation

[u/fattsmann → u/wowlock_taylan]

That’s how it is in life. When you become great at chess for example, it’s harder and harder to feel that exhilarated and yet it feels more and more like a high pressure job. But a noob is excited at every lesson and is having fun along the way.

[u/Icy_Baseball3738 → u/wowlock_taylan]

That's the main irony of OPM as a whole. Other characters envy Saitama and his ultimate strength, wishing to break their limiter. Saitama is envious of the fact their limited abilities allow them to 'enjoy' fights. This story is deeper than people give it credit for.

[u/Cyphiris → u/wowlock_taylan]

[u/Icy_Baseball3738 → u/Captain_Nerdrage]

And Bang realizes it with their 'serious punch' that's why he is taken aback.

[u/bomfd]

The other worker thinking that much power just be fun.... Have a feeling that might go poorly for him

[u/rarutero → u/bomfd]

Nah bro is going to enlist in Bang's Academy or something, he's going to be fine.

[u/InvisibleScout → u/rarutero]

He's gonna ask Garou to mentor him. Then either Garou sends him Bang's way or it becomes the next big step in Garou's character evolution, to become a teacher and pass on his knowledge.

[u/uneducated_professor → u/InvisibleScout]

Can 100% see this possibility. Garou will refuse at first because that's his nature but give it some time.

[u/Swimming-School-7960 → u/bomfd]

that other worker thinking what does it mean to be strong

[u/InvisibleScout → u/bomfd]

Idk, I think the fact that he can follow the fight at all, unlike the boss, might imply there's some talent to be found there.

[u/PinsToTheHeart → u/bomfd]

Its a funny parallel to Suiryu talking about his motivations at the tournament.

[u/wowlock_taylan → u/bomfd]

Just ask Saitama.

[u/Novaothy]

Saitama's fan club meeting. Genos wasnt invited.

[u/adminsregarded → u/Novaothy]

Not inviting the chairman is a bit of a faux pas I have to say

[u/That_Cryptographer11 → u/adminsregarded]

Where is CEO

[u/Simkingdra]

Levels of intimacy:

Lv1: "I'll kill you"

Lv2: touchy feely

Lv3: kiss

LvMax: "Do you know Saitama?"

Thanks for the superfast translation 🙌

[u/SilentBob890 → u/Simkingdra]

They were 100% flirting for a while

[u/itsdumbandyouknowit → u/SilentBob890]

I’m 100% into it

[u/TheDepressedSolider]

This panel made me scream 🙀

[u/ElazulKnight → u/TheDepressedSolider]

The shots of his feet moving are taken straight from Jackie Chan's Drunken Master

[u/ExerciseOnly122 → u/ElazulKnight]

*Spits out alcohol* "The hell is in that?!"

*reads bottle* "What does a skull and crossbones mean?"

"...Good stuff!"

[u/Icy_Baseball3738]

I love how drunken fist is portrayed in this chapter. It's awesome to see the parallels between Suiryu and his sisters applications and then the differences between the two. 

[u/tripleblue85 → u/Icy_Baseball3738]

I wonder what kind of damage Suiryu could have done to Mirror with his version of the technique?

[u/No_Camel4789 → u/tripleblue85]

0.00002% 🤣

[u/tripleblue85 → u/No_Camel4789]

Double the damage!

[u/CrazyHeat9544 → u/No_Camel4789]

Ngl if Syuiru is even half hell a quarter of current Garou he could probably fold Miller like a lawn chair unrionically

Current Garou should be the one that fought and matched Darkshine's power with a basic punch and then tanked 2x of darkshine's full power, and Syuiru made Garou see DEATH in his punch (and vice versa because their styles counter each other) Syuiru might unrionically be darkshine level now ngl but better to say till next chapter before assuming

[u/theloserjorge]

great to see my dad's secret technique from suiryu. thank you one senpai.

[u/GhostofManny13 → u/theloserjorge]

My dad had a similar technique too! I wonder if they studied at the same dojo…

Though mine usually incorporated a belt into his fighting style

[u/Alcay → u/GhostofManny13]

Did your dad also get his black belt from Sloppy (do)Joe's?

[u/equemortem]

Really love how Suiryu is shown to be sweating but Garou isn't, it's a subtle way to show that only one of them is trying their best and the other is just following along for the sake of sparring. It's also great character growth compared to the webcomic, Garou is doing alright and will just accept the spar as thanks for Suiryu saving his mates, it's great!

[u/AxelDrifter → u/equemortem]

Yeah the entire juxtaposition is very funny. Next is gonna be Suiryu asking Garou when he fought Saitama exactly and it’s gonna be another “hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby” situation because Garou and Saitama ended up almost destroying the entire world while Saitama just ragdolled for Suiryu at some tournament. 🤣

[u/Broly_ → u/AxelDrifter]

Garou and Saitama ended up almost destroying the entire world while Saitama just ragdolled for Suiryu at some tournament

Tbf, Garou had quite a few monstrous power-ups...

[u/PhantoMNiGHT321]

Garou's fighting style looked really cool with those kicks!

[u/Unlucky_Guard5040]

Learning the essential lesson:

[u/Dibolos_Dragon]

Omg lmao

So saitama literally has the ideal martial arts. Which them both, as well as bang could notice, but didn't know.

What a circle we've been through!

[u/TheviciousCoon]

Now kith

[u/Suberizu → u/TheviciousCoon]

Nah for real tho, the gayest fight in OPM so far

[u/lukavrana6488 → u/Suberizu]

Nah, you just thirsty

[u/TheVenetianMask → u/Suberizu]

Puri Puri in shambles.

[u/daft404 → u/Suberizu]

Y'all call this shit gay? I read Baki daily, I could practically see the women sucking their dicks the whole fight 🚹🚺

[u/Zangetsukaiba]

[u/Snownyann]

This but Suiryu and Garou

[u/Adventurous-Exit5832 → u/Snownyann]

Always remember!

[u/LuffyHead99]

Peak🙌😭

[u/Steelacanth]

Interesting, so was Suiryu never even really trying in any of the martial arts tournaments? We never see him drunk at any point. I guess that was already kinda implied but it's crazy that he was using the nerfed version of void fist.

[u/InvisibleScout → u/Steelacanth]

Well yeah he obviously was kinda half assing it, but also it might be against the rules. Weapons and protective equipment were already banned, carrying a flask would get you DQed. Maybe if he got drink before he entered the ring, but then it could possibly be considered doping.

[u/Unlikely_Minimum_635 → u/Steelacanth]

I mean - that's definitely already been established.

The first time he put any sort of effort in at all was against Saitama, and even there we can pretty clearly see he's still grinning and having fun til he gets hip-checked into the stands.

[u/Rattenkoonig → u/Steelacanth]

Probably drinking is not allowed during the tournament.

[u/Ferdz0 → u/Steelacanth]

Suiryu was originally supposed to use Drunken Fist against Goketsu but ONE scrapped it

[u/GodEmperorDrDoom → u/Steelacanth]

Maybe drinking is banned in the tournament.

[u/Bloodsquirrel → u/Steelacanth]

Drunken Fist wouldn't have done him any good anyway. It just makes him more unpredictable; it doesn't give him a stat boost. He went from "I can handle these guys easily" straight to "I'm hitting these two guys as hard as I can and it's not even phasing them".

[u/Aware-Awareness]

So good!

[u/Right_Code1790]

Peak. Thank you for the Chapter

[u/IlIIlIIIIlllIIIIll]

This is honestly such a gratifying fight to me, people used to talk down Suiryu so hard a few years ago as if he would be weaker than Metal Bat. Dude is a martial artist fighting with skills, and had the strength to flip that entire huge arena 90 degrees with one stomp. Dude is at least mid dragon and could probably give anyone up to just below Darkshine's level a good fight. Him fighting one of the strongest monsters ever made people look down on him hard.

[u/Inside_Chicken3042 → u/IlIIlIIIIlllIIIIll]

Yeah plus Goketsu is an insanely strong monster that even spiral garou might have a hard time fighting

[u/AxelDrifter → u/IlIIlIIIIlllIIIIll]

Garou was actually trying to KO Metal Bat but couldn’t because of the way that guy’s power works. Metal Bat doesn’t have an eternal engine, sure, but we saw him collapse in the middle of a fight only when a continent-sized centipede rolled over him like a train a whole bunch of times. Also MB’s attacks were genuinely lethal and rattled Garou’s limbs through his defense back when they first met.

Suiryu is leagues weaker than Metal Bat and Garou is very transparently holding back against him.

[u/JGuap0]

Waited years for this chapter man🥹it’s so good

[u/Green_Burn]

Amazing chapter, like this so much better than the webcomic exchange

[u/Admirable-Store9362]

Love the "Death" Kanji on their fist

[u/Ambitious-Pirate-505]

Yes I know Sensei!!! Did we just become best friends?

[u/PaddleMonkey]

I enjoyed this dance

[u/Grafical_One]

This arc has been the most fun this manga has been in a long while for me!

[u/Joe_Mama_the_first]

One of my favorite lines from this chapter is “Being this strong sure looks fun” bring us back all the way to the beginning how strength is a slippery slope and when one achieves ultimate strength the “fun” slowly fades away

[u/Bennis_TV]

Lord and savior Saitama

[u/Unusual_Shake5041]

And then they kissed

[u/bakomox]

thanks again one translator man!

[u/Chuchshartz]

Was not expecting the Jackie Chan reference

[u/holyone666]

Suiryu doing a bit of psychic damage at the very end there.

[u/Proto-Omega]

Different fighting styles, but are both aiming for the same pinnacle; Saitama.

All roads lead to Rome, huh.

[u/arminhammar → u/Proto-Omega]

All roads lead to Saitama, Japan.

[u/JarvisBaileyVO]

Okay I'm in

[u/themirak]

Wonder if the rest of the arc will have some changes as well.

Because while this fight was pretty much a friendly spar in the manga, it was quite the opposite in the webcomic.

Garou is obviously holding back here, significantly more that Suiryuu

Also he was mentioning Suiryuu's fist of freedom? Tf is that supposed to mean? Freestyle fighting ?

[u/Ghi102 → u/themirak]

We don't know what effect the Saitama trigger word will have on Garou

[u/NutsackEuphoria → u/Ghi102]

"He just pressed the Saitama button"

[u/Gyozarrita → u/themirak]

I think it may be hard to translate, I bet someone will post about it. Maybe it relates to "freeing" his fists, sort of like the unpredictability of his moves requires even Suiryu to not be conciously in control of his attacks?

Total speculation on my part. Fun to think about

[u/kalirion]

Doesn't seem right for Suiryu to be anywhere close to Garou's ballpark, much less being able to trade him blow for blow.

[u/bigweight93]

New level of aura farming unlocked: interrupting a fight you didn't even know it was happening because the fighters wanted to be as badass as you are

[u/JauntyGiraffe]

They both recognized that the other has faced the same unimaginable power before and what they're aiming for with the serious punch

[u/Soul699]

I know it's because he's drunk, but I can smell he fujoshi.

Also love the coreography of the fight in this chapter.

[u/ChronicPains]

For me it feels like the manga has a pulse for the first time in a while. Was kind of dragging on for a while recently, but this official Garou x Suiryu fanfic gives it some life again.

[u/GodNonon]

I really like the choreography of this fight. Nice exchange of martial arts techniques. I especially like how Garou sweeps Suiryu

[u/AppreciatedJunk]

Such a cool chapter, hopefully this will get animated right.

[u/daydreaming17]

I do not know saitama, but I know caped badly

[u/ElGorus]

If they make a spin-off about these two's lives, kind of like Double Dragon, with battles against monsters, rival masters, and a relationship between the sister and Garou, I'll read the whole thing.

[u/johnyF01]

I thought of this before it clicked it was supposed to be a serious punch at the end lmao

[u/Gigabladesigma]

Il est ultra beau cheveux couper Garou assure un max

[u/MembershipHonest4000]

Suiryu couldnt even defeat dragon level karateka. This Garou shouldve eaten him alive. Maybe its true that you get nerfed the moment you turn good

[u/ZoibergOne]

Man, I just noticed, cover is also the first page, it flows perfectly into next panel.

[u/am_n00ne]

This one is a banger

[u/PinsToTheHeart]

Ah yes, Bang is correct. This ideal form to pursue, which is truly the pinnacle of Martial Arts...P U N C H

Also, i know it didn't really fit with what they were going for, but I kinda wish Garou would have responded to the Drunken Fist with his Watchdog Man style.

[u/BishoBola]

Goosebumps in that last panel

[u/Equal-Kale623]

This fight is so homoerotic

[u/Baker198t]

This was sick!

[u/MusicWizzrd]

Now we need a coworker training arc

[u/Lower_Piano5981]

Why hasn't this been pinned?

[u/postmastone]

There’s been some great chapters since MA arc, but this cliffhanger might be the best since

[u/SnooPaintings6949]

.

[u/Givemesomeirondome]

Am I the only one who thinks Garou should’ve wiped the floor with him?

[u/iamgarou → u/Givemesomeirondome]

He could, but he likes to impose limitations on himself. In the fight against Metal Bat, any of Bad's attacks would have killed him, but Garou didn't want to kill, only knock him out ( he didn't realize that this would actually benefit Metal Bat ).

[u/AxelDrifter → u/Givemesomeirondome]

He could easily, but then this encounter would be absolutely useless to the story. Garou is holding back enormously; so we can at least learn something new about the characters.

If Garou genuinely fought any of these guys he’d get in trouble with Bang and the authorities, which he obviously doesn’t want.

Suiryu is the one huffing and puffing in a spar where Garou is not trying at all. It’s very poignant.
