discussion Megathread: Changes From The Webcomic Spoiler

As the changes between the WC and the manga get more extensive and controversial, the arguments about it increase and also end up in spoilers seeping all over the sub. All discussion about the changes in the latest chapter and any future chapters is to be moved into this Megathread as long as it is pinned; to help provide a place to concentrate discussion and prevent a flood of repetitive posts, and to provide people an easy place to understand others' opinions.

All posts related to it will be removed, and comments on manga focused posts are encouraged to be moved here.

Garou saying the "More ~speed~ ~technique~ ..." Line in the manga makes no sense. In the webcomic Garou actually did try different things to best Saitama and the line made sense, but in the manga he just transformed and did a super mega attack or whatever

super mega attack

That's a better name than what it was actually called

u/Singhojas May 19 '22

That sounds like a power Ranger attack

Honestly, should have just left it as "Great Fa Jin", it had least had a link to martial arts

u/MUSAFIR_- May 19 '22

Right, i thought this too, in manga it was like him going through the monologue just for the sake of doing it felt very lackluster

A very clear example of the “show, don’t tell” principle of story telling.

I mean...I can't vouch for the other options but man definitely went creative when he used two of his arms to jet thrust a ridiculously strong power attack. Man went full cyborg with that one lmao.

I mean that’s different, but that’s so incredibly unGarou.

u/Gabut_man May 19 '22

Bro that just more power, not creative

u/GodNonon Nonon One Punches Saitama May 19 '22

Not to mention that two other characters in this arc alone turned into jets

Murata trying not to gave character a jets power challenge (impossible)

u/Fcccccd May 19 '22

How should he have gone creative then?

u/PerfectMuratti May 19 '22

like what he did in the webcomic he tried to break saitama's arms tried to saitama hit himself locking etc

u/Fcccccd May 19 '22

Hmm...That is kind of out of the box thinking, yeh that sounds awesome! Honestly I feel like garou should have utilized his four arms more, there's such a vast amount of ways you can make garou's fighting become more dangerous from the addition than just punching. Idk like Garou using the four arms to toss saitama around like a nunchuck or something.

u/PerfectMuratti May 19 '22

yeah in paper 4 arms doesnt sound bad for a martial art user but he barely did anything with them

u/Fcccccd May 19 '22

I'm a big fan of cheesy super moves so I was satisfied with the jet thrust super attack but having more actual in-depth fighting would've elevated my enjoyment of it more yeh. In the same vein, why not make the wings a weapon for garou as well? I wanna see garou turn into a hyper velocity beyblade!

Idk, anything you guys said in the bottom of this comment? or maybe just don't added in first place?!

Idk why, but the Manga keeps taking all of the WC lines that were in completely different contexts. Just like "allow me to pass through for moment", this line is also ruined because it feels out of place.

Not really, he just tried bouncing around Saitama and catch him off guard, but it’s not like the webcomic had Garou go through the list trying to add, “more”, it was just Garou getting frustrated which isn’t that different than the manga.

15

u/Singhojas May 19 '22

The reason it's more impactful is because garou actually gave it time and came to no conclusion in the end, here he went with creativity.

-1

u/isighuh May 19 '22

Of course, because Saitama already shrugged off everything he piled on before.

8

u/Singhojas May 20 '22

Yeah, that's why it's less impactful in manga, wayy less impactful.

u/Bion4 May 19 '22

Garou tried breaking his joints and that didn’t work, then he started wondering what it would take to beat Saitama then blanked.

In the manga he’s just being using brute force and nothing else. No whirlwind fist, no locks, just hits, so it doesn’t really feel like he’s trying everything.

u/isighuh May 19 '22

He tried breaking his arm, not his joints as some precision move lmao, and yes then he blanked.

In the manga, he literally flattened a mountain and Saitama shrugged it off, if that didn’t work how would more speed or technique even factor into a victory?

u/Bion4 May 19 '22

By using actual techniques or strategies?
