Honestly I'm surprised that I'm not more surprised of the recent events. This is basically the DB equivalent of Goku getting SSJ5 or something. A God-enhanced Garou killing Genos in front of Saitama, with BLAST nearby. If you told me even one of these things would happen just 10 chapters ago, let alone before Blast's manga reveal in the God dimension, I'd probably laugh at it.
Crazy thing is, I still don't see the manga reaching its finale any time soon. This is so crazy it'd honestly fit in the final arc, but we still have at least a few arcs to go based vaguely on the direction the webcomic did. Of course, the manga is a different continuity at this point, but I doubt it'd outright skip any major webcomic arcs, such as Neo Heroes and especially Mad Cyborg. I could see it maybe skipping Psychic Sisters, but that's doubtful and would be very disappointing.

I wonder if God's enhancements would have a special effect with Metal Bat's powers? Like maybe bringing out his full potential for as long as the enhancement stays?

Yeah, I was thinking more along the terms of shockwave damage since it was able to cause like magnitude 5(break plates) levels of damage with Genos being far away from where the MA fight is happening.

Facts. Ten chapters ago this would've sounded like a fan fiction fantasy.

Watch the finale be a ******* dream of Saitama's while he's doing his training.

I'd like to ask why the Jet nice Guy character isn't profiled in vsbattle, isn't he also participating in monster association attacks with other Class A heroes?

You mean a dream while Saitama is in a coma from hitting his head on the way home after trying to look for a job.
- 3,231

Well because nobody cares about him I guess. Do you want us to make profiles for a bunch of other lower-tier heroes who's participated in the raid too?

INB4 Saitama was dreaming and we wake up as Saitama is dead for trying to fight a giant crab man
- 5,983
- 6,007
When Saitama was hit by Crablante and launched many feet into the sky and into the ground, that blow had almost instantly killed him. The few seconds he spends before impacting with the cement were spent in a deluded dream of heroism, his vein attempt to escape the dark reality that awaited him when the cold surface of the park would connect with his head. He knew he could never be a Hero, that he could never be anything, but he believed that he had done the right thing by helping the ball-chinned kid, and could rest in peace with that subconscious thought in the back of his mind.

The former involves copying the phenomenon of the universe, the latter involves copying the abilities of individual living organisms. They're so similar because they're both reliant on Garou's martial arts.

Eventually something will pull them out of that tier...
Depends how far Murata raises the bar for the non-god tiers of the verse. Pretty sure he'll go pretty damn far, given what we've seen him do to Orochi, Psychorochi, etc.
I feel they might even end up making people scale to feats they usually would have no business being in.
Like how Garou scaled to Psychorochi.

I think this at least saves our 7-Bs. Considering IIRC our 7-B scaling qas apparently problematic

I think Saitama's in-training car feat is likely invalid to some extent.
Saitama already noticed the commotion before this panel. Even at 40 km/h speed, braking distance alone is 9 metres, so the entire feat could have easily happened in a far slower timeframe.

Tbh I don't like Blast appearing so randomly in this arc. I would have liked it better if ONE had saved him for later on in the story. This kinda kills the hype and he seems unnecessary.
Like, what is his role? Deflecting some of Garou's attacks before getting ignored by Garou and Saitama? Introducing God, who could also have appeared without Blast being present?

Garou was turned into an eldritch abomination while the other S-Class were already struggling with much weaker opponents and at this point, Saitama not being knocked around to show how powerful a new enemy is seems to be becoming the norm so really, Blast is the only way Murata was able to avoid insane powerscaling issues since even without the radiation powers it would have been impossible to explain why the heavily injured S-Class heroes weren't killed by a Lovecraftian Garou beyond the usual "hero instincts" thing that even Murata seems to have gotten sick of now.
Also, considering Garou's relation to God, whom we know Bang has an invested interest in, I wouldn't say it was done "randomly".

I bet they’ll miss the “7-B curse” when all the 7-Bs get nuked to near-baseline Low 7-B-

Not like it would be undeserved tbh. The city level reasonings seem super flimsy to me, considering they hinge on Psykos knowing and being able to compare that Dragon level monster that appeared literally for a few minutes with Elder centipede whose own city destroying feats lack an established timeline.
- 15,290
- 15,468
… what? The City level ratings are based on the Hero Association claiming that EC is the most powerful monster they’ve seen yet, it has nothing to do with Psykos.
CosmicWreck
He/Him- 674

Er...no, Psykos' analysis is currently one of the reasonings given for him being at that tier. I have no idea what you mean by "nothing". Even if this was true what you said was never indicated on the profiles or the scan given therein.
- 15,290
- 15,468
You said the City level ratings hinge on Gyoro Gyoro’s statement, which is incorrect. It’s just supporting evidence. The Hero Assicistion’s statement is where 7-B comes from.
CosmicWreck

Okay, sure. I've already pointed out that the linked statements are too vague to make any comparisons though.
Not AP related. The only character I know who would make this meaningful is scaling to Beefcake who we, for some reason, don't treat as City level.
Vague.
Also vague and possible circular scaling.
- 22,058
- 18,144
That's why we might be getting rid of it. The statement is even more vague in the raws.
Edit: Quoting myself from a different thread.
他の怪人とは スケールが違うな
Normal or regular isn't mentioned. However, the kanji other (他の) is mentioned. So it translates more closely to 'The scale is different from other monsters.'
