Asura Rhino gets the same vibe that Genos does during the DEATH punch and Garou does. When Saitama starts threatening to actually attack, his targets brick themselves and realise it. I forget if that happens during the Boros fight.

Blinks77 posted:Boros was rather completely lacking in a self preservation instinct. Probably because the normal punches could not actually kill him like they could everyone else. Due to his regeneration and durability. Also people remember that guidebook that stated that Boros was a Dragon Level threat. According to people that could read it, that is only in his base form. In his more powerful states he is ranked as a god level threat.

I think I read that the first popularity contest for the original version listed Boros as God-Level, but when the remake came out with a guidebook he was called "Dragon-Level" on his file and "at least Dragon-Level" on the Q&A section.

I don't think a true god level threat has appeared yet, not even Perfect Garou.

mabels big day posted:I don't think a true god level threat has appeared yet, not even Perfect Garou. Garou and Boros definitely felt like God level threats with Garou many levels above a monster who travelled halfway across the galaxy for a fight. I doubt any of the S Class heroes there could have touched Garou when he was all leveled up which is what made his fight with Saitama so unfair for him.

I would consider Boros a god level threat because if you remove Saitama from the equation, Boros kills all of the S classes and wipes out the planet with his planet buster attack if he wants to. I wouldn't consider Garou a god level threat because even though he eventually wound up being strong enough to likely do that (with Saitama's help boosting him, almost definitely so), there was zero intent to kill people there. He's god level without the intent of being a real global threat, which almost removes him from the threat scale to me. ONE supposedly said that Garou and Boros were equal overall, with Boros having more raw power and his planet buster while Garou was a better fighter.

I don't really feel as though there's any reason at all to doubt that he would have stomped everyone else with ease. Even Saitama is surprised of the speed he has, even if it's no match for his own.

I think Boros is the only God-Level threat so far, because that tier is defined as "a threat to the planet or civilization as we know it." So power levels aside, even if Garo was actually a better fighter, Boros is the only one we've seen who could've wiped out the planet Earth. He himself could destroy the planet with his planet buster, and he also had a ship that was capable of instantly leveling cities, giving him two different means of being a God Tier Threat. Garou is probably stronger than Boros, using Saitama as our vague yardstick, but Garou didn't kill anybody and had no intention of wiping out civilization. Going by the threat level scale, he's only Demon - a threat that will majorly disrupt the functioning of society and likely cause loss of life. His ability to just mess up the hero association endlessly still means he needed dealing with, but it isn't like he was going to then go and destroy any cities or civilians. He's definitely more than Tiger level, though - his actions probably lead to indirect loss of life just because he took so many heroes off the streets. But he isn't going to go on and end the planet like Boros was both willing and able to do.

The hero association's categories are entirely artificial, though. They are just arbitrary labels some bureaucrats invented. I don't really trust the amazing minds who spent hours coming up with "Caped Baldy" to discern much of anything concerning how strong a given monster is.

Actually I kinda like it that they're not power levels, just threat levels. So yeah Garou has a lower threat level than most of the random monsters just because he's not interested in anyone but heroes.

TheKingofSprings posted:His level was probably below Tiger, even. He did not, but Tiger is basically joke-monster tier. Also Garou seriously injured so many people that the lack of murder doesn't make him less of a threat. The threat levels are, in order from least dangerous to most: Tiger: A threat to the functioning of society, will possibly cause loss of life. Crabrante, Octoclaw, and all the other minor monsters are at this level. Monster Kombu was also given this threat level, even though they took out two A-Class heroes before being assigned a level. Demon: A major threat to the functioning of society. Will probably cause heavy collateral damage and loss of life is likely. The Sea King and Mosquito Girl were assigned this level. The majority of serious threats end up at level Demon - it takes serious firepower to get ranked higher. Even the Giant from chapter 3, who ended up taking out both B City and D City, was only ranked at threat level Demon. I'd place Garou here because destroying the hero association is a major threat to society's ability to function, he caused a lot of structural damage on several occasions, and crippling the hero society almost certainly caused some unnecessary loss of life just because heroes weren't available. Dragon: A threat that can destroy the functioning of society. Will cause heavy damage and loss of life. Threats at this level can destroy entire cities. Black Sperm, Natural Water, Homeless Emperor, and the Meteor were assigned this level. Asura Rhino and Vaccine Man are probably around here too but were never assigned a rating. God: A threat that can destroy the planet or society as we know it. Boros is the only one who has been undeniably at this level, although Vaccine Man could have maybe gotten up here if Saitama hadn't nipped him in the bud. Saitama's dream version of the Underground People would also be a god level threat - wiping out 70% of humanity in a single day or obliterating an entire city in under a minute is the kind of stuff that gets this level assigned to it. gnome7 fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Nov 10, 2015 |

Y'all are mental if you think Garou was anywhere near Boros. Garou is the better technical fighter, yeah, but Boros' sheer strength, speed, and regeneration put him miles ahead. talking about webcomic character power levels ITT.

Most of Garou's ability came from being a martial artist, too. Meaning, he was specialized in fighting humans which was how he was able to fight Saitama at all. He wouldn't be able to predict any non-human's moves at all. Really, while he was very good at beating up heroes most of the s class heroes are probably much better than Garou at fighting monsters. Now let me show you this numeric power level chart I made...

I always got the feeling that if Boros went all out on Garou at the beginning of the fight then Garou would have been obliterated. However, that if Boros decided to go easy on him for really any length of time than Garou's absurdly high potential for learning and developing his skills would kick in and he would be able to match and maybe surpass Boros in battle.

man, re-reading the villain association assault is so much fun. I hadn't picked up the first time through that King accidentally disabled Evil Natural Water because Water reacts to killing intent, and King not having any neutralised it.

I think Garou was on the verge of breaking his limiter, but fighting against Saitama drove him to so much despair that he gave up the chance to do so in order to become a mysterious being instead. Which ties into Saitama's whole speech about Garou giving up on being a hero and taking the easy way out.
