wait so garou loves tareo a lot. he’s super protective of him and always come in at the very last second to save the kid. garou is very oblivious to his protective nature over the kid but we can all see just how much he adores him. ergo, when cosmic garou finally sees tareo dead on the ground, he loses all his motivation to become evil. garou finally sees what destruction he’s brought about and hates it. he goes so far as to turn back time to prevent this terrible future.

on the other hand, we have saitama. he also clearly cares about genos. he’s constantly worrying that genos has gone and gotten himself destroyed in some way or another. like garou, he’s oblivious to how much he cares for genos. like garou, he always shows up to save the day at the very last second but unlike the self-proclaimed villain, he shows up after genos has already been hurt and the villain has destroyed most of everything. when saitama sees genos dead on the ground (parallel with garou’s experience with tareo later, which is not at all a coincidence), he doesn’t look at the destruction around him and try to think of a way to save everyone or fix the situation. saitama goes on a rampage. he destroys jupiter and jupiter’s moon, almost blows up earth without hesitation, and becomes so antagonistic that he looks like a villain (shaded face, large eyes devoid of empathy).

the only reason saitama doesn’t kill garou is because tareo requested him not to. saitama was completely, wholeheartedly ready to take a life. he didn’t think twice about the destruction he’d brought about on earth or on jupiter. he had gained a sense of purpose: to avenge genos. and it seems that he had no limitations on how far he would go to follow through with it. garou and saitama had two very different reactions to the death of the person they were clinging to (and i love it).

in summary, garou is a self-proclaimed villain with heroic tendencies while saitama is a self-proclaimed hero with villainous tendencies.

#this may be super obvious but i just wanted to talk about it lol #ive seen a lot of people talk about how weird and morally gray saitama is #and i think this certainly adds to it #garou my sweet baby <3 #he stopped becoming a villain and saitama stopped becoming a hero LMAOOOO #they are each other’s opposites #opm #one punch man #opm spoilers #one punch man spoilers #saitama #genos #garou #saigenos #genosai

There was a lot of complaints ant Saitama's breaking speech never making to the manga, but tbh even if the manga has a series of events that requires that to happen, I still don't want it to happen. Mostly bc what Saitama said is pretty hypocritical and doesn't make sense.

While I do give kudos that Saitama even admits he doesn't really have a concrete idea of what a "hero" should be... That doesn't give a vote of confidence considering he's um. Literally the most powerful hero alive. Kinda hard to believe in someone who doesn't even know if they're doing the right thing while wielding immeasurable power. He pretty much, well, dodged the question and never really bothered to shoulder the responsibility to figure out what kind of hero really wants to be.

Another is his "serious" hero hobby and Garou's "compromised" monster hobby, and the reason why he'll always win is bc he never half-assed his hobby. While he's right not to lower the hurdle before the goal... But the reason why opm more or less has a plot to begin with is because Saitama is half-assing his heroism. He barely takes anything seriously. Like, yes he never half-assed his training to be the strongest and while he's one of the more moral heroes out there he wasn't the best for a reason.

And tbh I'm really satisfied to how 166-169 played out. In the end, what the manga shows us is that they both have naive mindsets. Believing Absolute Evil would bring absolute world peace, believing heroes would always be on time and save the day — only to have reality crashing hard that for Garou to achieve Absolute Evil means people he cares about will in fact die and that Saitama's complacency and invulnerability means it's not him facing the consequences, but everyone else fatally paying that price. it just shows the perfect image that Garou and Saitama are not so different — Garou is a poor villain, Saitama is a poor hero, and it's bc of those flaws, despite them wielding incomprehensible, godly power, they both meet in the middle ground as humans. Which further reinforces ONE's intention to create Garou as the anti-Saitama.

An old, old comment that has aged like fine wine.

There's a question Garou asks Saitama in the webcomic that the latter never answers -- and really should. 'You're strong, but so what?' His questioning whether the mere fact of Saitama being stronger than anyone gave him any moral authority is one that desperately needs to be addressed in the webcomic. So far, so bad.

I really like that the manga has started to look at that question. The Japanese idiom Saitama used when looking at the carnage Cosmic Fear Garou had wrought was his being pierced by realisation (h/t @koumbaya). As if a spear had been thrown through his very soul.

It answered the question he'd been asking himself ever since the Superfight that he'd forgotten something important. In that moment, it came to him just how shallow he'd been for fretting over not learning new moves or finding tough fights. How irresponsible it'd been for him to forget that just because Garou was no threat to him, the same did not hold for others. He had become a hero so that when people were in trouble, he could be there to help them, and instead, little by little, he'd come to prioritise having a good time.

I love how the denouement of the arc has Garou and Saitama understand and enact what it is to be a hero. Garou puts aside his pride to ask for help and heroically sacrifices his life to teach Saitama how to go to the past, Saitama saves everyone who needs his help, *including* Garou.

I love how this fits into the structure of the bigger story, with King having challenged Saitama over this very notion. It's an important question. A hero may need to be strong, but how does that translate into morality? What gives a hero the right to say 'this is unacceptable and I must stop it?'

Of course, there's the small problem of Saitama having forgotten what happened. Which makes me think: whether he wants to or not, Genos has a responsibility to ensure Saitama learns those hard-won lessons without the rest of the world paying for it first.

Final thing: Garou not being left as a foil to Saitama is the best thing of all. He hasn't received a pat answer and been sent into exile to do no more evil. He's getting to struggle with his ideas, to try to forge them into a coherent and workable way forward, and it's good to see him being his own person.

#OPM #asks #Garou #Saitama #better late than never #I may not be a fan of time travel but damn is this a better story: it's looking more thoroughly at the idea of the legitimacy of a hero #and isn't just going 'Saitama beats everyone so Saitama is right'

WODTOBER

Days 1 - 2 - 3 | Monster in Me - City by Night - Bloodlines

To start off this year's month of darkness, we have Bear!

A new wolf on the scene in his homecity, where his Glass Walker father is the leadership of the local Caern. His entry into the world of spirits and doomsdays has been a little rocky so far, and it's not clear yet if he can hold up under the pressure...

With W5's omission of kinfolk from the equation of Garou births, Bear has become something of a miracle-cub for having slaughtered the statistical odds of a Garou father having a Garou child.

I think the parallels between Saitama and Genos are so interesting.

A very ordinary man who exceeded his goals and has become too strong, feels emotionless and disinterested most of the time (or says he does) because he's never challenged anymore, but actually shows a wide range of emotional reactions, but over things like shopping, video games, and his personal property being destroyed, and actually has great compassion for other people.

A young man who gave up his human body completely in order to become stronger, but is continuously destroyed and defeated despite his upgrades, who even pretends to himself that he's more machine than man and doesn't dwell on his past memories beyond his mission of vengeance, but still shows extreme jealousy, anger, cuntiness, and fully dotes on Saitama.
