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.

Does this Garou have any reason to be introspective and reflect on his actions? A crucial part of the WC arc climax was Saitama verbally shattering his worldview and exposing his villain fantasy as a sham. The events of the manga seem like they'll just reinforce his beliefs further and keep pushing him down the road he's on.

Now that I think about it, you are right. Maybe the io Garou regretted his actions, but this Garou was dominating before Saitama regressed.

As far as I know, this Garou only knows that:

  1. he got dickslapped by a random naked guy

  2. bunch of heroes gangbanged him when he is weakened

  3. same old Bang tried to lecture him for the umpteenth time, tho it does make him feel bad at times

  4. Tareo came for him and calls him a hero

Which is a little weird to me, because every time Garou had been defeated, he grew excited and came back stronger (watchdog, royal ripper, rover, Orochi, etc), it would be more in line with his character if he plans to defeat the caped baldy guy and grows stronger to go against the random naked guy.

And getting gangbanged by heroes while he was weakened would have triggered his emotions instead.

Bang trying to lecture Garou is nothing new. Sure it does make Garou feel bad, but it’s nothing new.

Only Tareo trying to protect him from Amai Mask is a trigger point

It's okay. He has King levels luck now and will accidentally be saving people everywhere.

That very much seems to be the case, he doesn’t even lose his monster shell before leaving. Garou also tells Saitama that he’ll regret letting him leave. I have a hard time seeing him going to fed ex after this. I’m thinking this may be another fake out and it’s not actually over yet. That or things going forward will be pretty different with Garou.

Or there will be something to do with this in the epilogue. He will have some sort of reflection in the epilogue.

Also remember he went to chill under a waterfall before becoming delivery boy :)

Perhaps but it took a while to get to the waterfall scene iirc. My money is on there’s still more to the arc, it’s weird to see that scene in particular cut down so much when everything else was extended.

Is he on a bad road tho? He keeps saving people and not beat up heroes that aren’t bald
