#threat levels

"Like seriously, Cosmic Garou's introduction was the edgiest shit ever, and they even buffed him to Saitama level for a while to make you believe he's a serious threat."

Meanwhile, Garou almost broke his limiter, something that is said to have finally made Saitama break into his godhood status, he monsterized and was running rampant on the topside and he was already blatantly stronger than any other S-rank heroes when he monsterized, sans Blast and he was still growing at an insane explosive rate.

Just because Saitama exists, doesn't make Garou a non-threat. Garou was anything but a non-threat, even before OPM God jumped in. What part about cleaving Sage centipede in half makes him a non-threat?

This crazy guy literally speedran Saitama's "do or die" training in few days. Something that took Saitama 3 years of plain hard work because he was so inefficient.

What makes people think he could not have eventually reached Saitama's power level if Saitama hadn't stopped him before he had quite reached it and then OPM God jumped in to boost? He'd have done that in few more hours, give or take, just sparring against Sai. The only thing stopping him was Saitama being so resilient broke his willpower to get any further. Not really Saitama punching him. When he lost that willpower, he got punted and broke to pieces easily. Like his entire ideology that he does not 100% submit under of not wanting to become a true monster, was his downfall.

Just like mosquito girl mosquitoes, individual mosquitoes are pathetically weak and unnoticeable but unstopped she'd have just sucked up all the blood and kept going and suddenly unnoticed by anyone, become God level threat and sucked all life on Earth from the cumulative effect alone. Death by thousand stings is still eventual death. Underestimating threats just because it seems small at first is costly mistake, one has to evaluate threat levels from more logical perspective than that, with potential to grow as well.

(A fact this guy learned the hard way)

Saitama's presence really seems to skew the reality of what is an actual threat in OPM. The entire world relies on Saitama and his whims and him being a nice enough guy, to handle all the threats others cannot, to not blowing up the world on accident or intentionally, essentially.

A true balance breaker in perspective.

Harsh lesson to learn too late.

Relying on one person to save the world and the universe, that is and pretending Saitama's existence makes things non-threat. Saitama will "eventually" arrive and take care of everything, naturally. He can time travel, there is nothing he cannot do now right? And erase causality like nothing happened if the consequences are too severe. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

That's what we've been led to believe in the story.

Nothing bad can have permanent consequences as long as Saitama exists in the story because Saitama solves everything.

It's only natural we'll have to subvert this expectation. ONE style. How classy.

WOAH.

In case I haven’t said it before, Stan is such a hot daddy.
