In One Punch Man, Saitama is such a strong character that there are very few opponents that he has to take seriously. Up to the present time, the two people who make the bald guy really serious are Boros and Orochi. There are also many times Saitama is somewhat angry with the opponent and wants to defeat the enemy. Because of this, many readers use Saitama to compare opponents in One Punch Man with each other.
As of One Punch Man chapter 211, the monster Garou, who wanted to become “absolute evil” has succumbed to Saitama. Rather, the bald guy used his power to break Garou’s will to fight. Instead of continuing to fight, Garou finally sat down and talked to Saitama.
It is a fact that currently, Saitama is not serious with Garou. This leads many readers to assume that Garou himself is not as strong as Boros or Orochi for our bald guy to take seriously. Is this really true?
To answer this question, we have to admit that Boros or Orochi are two of the few with enough strength to make Saitama serious. However, it would be a mistake to say that Garou is not strong enough to force Saitama to take the fight seriously. The nature of Saitama’s fight with Boros and especially Orochi was very different when he faced Garou.
For Boros or Orochi, Saitama is serious and wants to defeat his opponents quickly because these are the guys who are trying to intimidate those around and make our main character “annoying”. While going into battle with Garou in the last chapters, Saitama comes to understand that this monster is essentially a good person, even the way Garou helps him to resemble King or Saitama himself.
That’s why Saitama entered this match with the intention of helping the boy Tareo (whose life was saved by Garou) put this monster on the right path of a good person. Perhaps because of this, in the past chapters, despite Garou’s aggressive attitude, Saitama just dodged the attack and even let Garou show his full potential instead of throwing a serious punch to end it quickly. everything.
In a word, Garou is a special character, the power of this monster was fully displayed in front of Saitama. However, due to his promise to a boy and realizing the good nature of Garou, Saitama was not serious about taking down his opponent. And this is not the basis for us to be able to determine that Garou is weaker than the characters that Saitama was really serious about.
The way that Murata created the match between Garou and Saitama was more about a meeting, talking and understanding each other’s ideals than a battle that made the bald guy “hot eyes” and seriously hit. defeat the opponent.
What do you think about why Saitama has never taken Garou seriously, is it because the opponent is too weak? Please leave your opinion on this issue!
