Before I start, sorry if what I say doesn't make sense or it's hard to read due to spelling mistakes or grammar.. it's pretty late rn and I'm tired af
Tsunade (should) scale pretty high above Sasuke’s Kirin, which is 2.67 gigatons. I don’t exactly know what Garou scales to, so, if someone can get to that, please tell me. From what I can tell, he only starts at that via Reactive Evolution.
iirc he's baseline.
Without question, this fight is going to come down to hand-to-hand combat, that’s not even really an argument. A very large factor of this battle is going to be WSRSF vs her punches. Depending on the AP gap, it could decide if Garou can even reflect her punches, as proven by Darkshine, he can only reflect so much, but he could maybe stop it, evident by his fight with Metal Bat.
Garou should easily be able to deflect, reflect, and block her attacks. The gap is a bit over 1 (since she's unquantifiably higher than her rating) and Garou should easily close the gap with his RE. As long as she's not completely decimating him, then he'll just keep growing stronger.
I’m of the stance that just as Tsunade will have a hell of a time trying to hit him, Garou is within the same predicament, as medical nin are trained to constantly seek out attack patterns, surprise attacks, and evasion techniques.
Garou shouldn't have any issues at all against Tsunade, as Garou is also able to adapt, arguably has better acrobatics, easily be able to anticipate her moves (IR, AP, ES).
Keep in mind, she scales comparable or superior to Sakura, who could evade
this, with
minimal scratches. It’s to be noted that Tsunade can also abuse range with her strikes,
see here, and that’s only in base, and Sakura after her training can do
this.
That's not nearly as impressive as what Garou has done. His acrobatics should allow him to dodge any attack that Tsunade throws at him. He can just jump in the air, use his surroundings, cling on to walls, trees, buildings,
maneuver in the air.
Speaking of range, WICF, won’t do much to Tsunade, given she can just:
A. Dodge.
B. Heal.
Except if she's not going to attack, then his RPL, RE, Stats Amps, and Monsterization, should easily overwhelm her. As long as she isn't on the offensive, then he'll just keep going stronger, and seeing how the AP gap isn't the huge,
he should be able to grow stronger than her in little to no time.
In terms of stamina, I think it’s rather decisive. Garou can fight after being poisoned, beaten by numerous S-class & A-class heroes, and woke up from death, however Tsunade can constantly keep going after being slashed and hacked by Orochimaru, get stabbed numerous times through the abdomen with huge blades, burn marks, and continuously fight and support in the 4th Great Shinobi World War for hours on end.
It's not that decisive at all. If anything it's the other way around. You're downplaying his stamina. Looking at his stamina page and actually reading what's there it's clearly far better than what Tsunade has actually done in comparison.
Garou:
Worn down by fighting
multiple heroes,
curb-stomped, knocked unconscious he was
forced without rest to battle
NUMEROUS A-Class heroes, where he suffered a
gunshot wound to
his leg and was hit with
poisonous arrows to drain his stamina but still managed to defeat all of his opponents. Immediately afterward, he found himself up against
Genos and then both Bang and Bomb, who subjected him to continued pummelling to the point that he was on the verge of death. Even after all the punishment mentioned above,
he still willed himself to resume fighting, ignoring the huge amounts of damage that his body had taken. Later on, after he healed from his wounds, he was
one-shot by Saitama and left unconcious for a while, only to
fight both Bug God and Royal Ripper not long afterwards, although Garou was defeated. After recovering a few hours later, Garou made his way to the Monster association base to
fight against multiple monsters such Overgrown Rover, Gyoro Gyoro, Orochi, and eventually Darkshine, all with little time for rest in between. Could continue fighting even after
gaining injuries like his ribs getting broken or getting impaled
Tsunade's best stamina feat in her page is replenishing chakra to over thousands of people. Now this might end up just being a subjective choice, but for me it's VERY clear that Garou has the advantage in stamina. Though I don't think it'll even matter that much cause I think the battle will end before either of them get tired.
In-short, she keeps going through things that canonically pass Garou out.
Like what? When has she continuously fought NUMEROUS of people that scale to him, a little weaker than him, or outright stronger, with MINIMAL rest and practically consecutively?
Tsunade is extremely knowledgeable on pressure points, which is the key-factor of the WSRSF, and after picking up his attack pattern (which Sakura managed to do towards a long-range fighter in a short time), it would be fairly easy for her to understand the damage he could cause and simply not allow it to happen
...How? Unless I don't understand how PPs work, if you're hit, then you're hit. There's no "my pressure points were struck, so now I can't move, but since I'm knowledgeable on it, I'll just get back up" (unless ofc chakra shenanigans are involved).
Garou does will simply be tanked via pain tolerance and healing it off instantly, while Garou takes an unspecified amount of hours (proven by how it was morning when he fought Royal Ripper & Bug God, and night when he woke up).
True. But there's also vice versa. He also has immense pain tolerance, though Tsunade's does seem to be far more impressive, and her regen of course.
Not to mention she can simply disrupt the electrical signals in his body if she gets even one hit off, which will completely throw Garou off and allow Tsunade to pummel him.
I wonder how this will work against Garou's IR, AP, Evolution, and Adaption. Not saying it won't work, I'm just genuinely curious. I really do think he could easily adapt to it, but that could just be headcanon.
This is not even mentioning the fact that Tsunade at any time can summon Katsuyu, and it shouldn’t even be an argument on how much that would benefit her.
True.
Overall, Garou has a more appealing look, but in contrast, Tsunade’s feats, experience, stamina, healing, and abilities are far more useful.
At first, when I saw your argument I was quick to dismiss it, but after actually reading through it, I definitely can see Tsunade's very plausible wincons.
Though I still think his Immortality Type 2, his very very quick evolution, adaption, and reactionary power level should easily overpower Tsunade, not even to mention the massive advantage Garou has against Tsunade in cqc, and how overwhelming he actually can be. I really do not think Tsunade can land a hit on him due to his acrobatics, IR, AP and everything else I've included. His body should move far too quickly for her to actually land a hit and he should be able to evolve past her and eventually beat her.
Though Regen is his BIGGEST issue here. I for sure downplayed her regen, and now that I'm thinking about it, while I do think he still wins, it's going to be alot harder than I originally thought.
I vote Garou high-diff
