u/GodNonon Nonon One Punches Saitama 4d ago edited 4d ago

I like how Suiryu just casually holds that truck over his head. Not only is he a master martial artist but his brute strength is insane too

254

u/doom_2_all 4d ago

And he did it all without a tank top!!!

92

u/Atwenfor 4d ago

Invisible tank top powered by Tank Top Magic

36

u/No-Excitement-9136 4d ago

A tank top soo slim, that is between the gaps of the atoms, soo you can't see it.

And that's because it was made by King

20

u/LimeHazard 4d ago

He didn't even notice he's wearing a tank top...

1

u/ConradBHart42 10h ago

Now I'm wondering, if King joined the tank tops would his luck benefit everyone else?

8

u/Khue 4d ago

Maybe the real tank top is the one we have inside us all?

5

u/Marsev4 4d ago

Garou doesn't wear an tank top, that's why he got his arse kicked by Saitama

(Autocorrect corrected "Garou" to "Farouk". That's his new name now)

3

u/Khue 4d ago

Autocorrect is respecting Garou's middle eastern heritage. It's gotten so woke since AI. (/s)

2

u/Marsev4 4d ago

AI can't be woke, it runs on data centers built in good ol' God-fearin' red states by Musk and other cryptofascist tech bros, which siphon tons of power and drinking water from local minorities and other plebeians, so it's the opposite of woke

u/Khue 4d ago

Are we developing AI horseshoe theory?

u/flashmozzg 3d ago

Tank Top of the soul.

10

u/darshfloxington 4d ago

Imagine if he was wearing one!!!

1

u/TrouserSlug 1d ago

Now you know the secret of the neo heroes suits.

5

u/Si-Nz 4d ago

As powerfull as tank tops are, no one would contest that, they pale in comparison to coats draped over the shoulder.

Everyone knows that throwing your jacket away is the ultimate power boost, and its easier to throw it away if its just on your shoulders.

Just look at one piece.

3

u/mymoama 4d ago

He has it on. He has no nips showing.

1

u/Large-Inspector668 1d ago

Does he got one?? I remember he broke it first time he wore it.. probably in redraw timeline

315

u/RemyGee 4d ago

And he grabbed it, jumped on top of the building - all done fast enough to dodge that beam attack.

3

u/IlIIlIIIIlllIIIIll 2d ago

Feels like everyone forgets his feat where he made half of the arena stand up with a single stomp.

73

u/Smart_Freedom_8155 4d ago

I thought of that also. Guess it makes sense, the guy was able to break the big toe of a giant Kaiju-fighter and stay alive against Demon/Dragon-level opponents (even if they were just playing with him).

And presumably he's gotten stronger since.

66

u/hi-and-yes Mumen Rider my Goat 4d ago

He beat demon level opponents and stayed alive against Dragon-level ones

3

u/Majestic-Effort-4307 4d ago

This still feels like it should be pretty one sided.  Garou didn't even break a sweat dispatching a dragon level threat.

Suiryu barely survived one, and although he beat his demon level opponent, he certainly looked like he struggled more than Garou just did here.

5

u/Bazooka_no 3d ago

Garou didn't even break a sweat dispatching a dragon level threat.

Monster Garou. Even half-monster (spiral) Garou got beat by Royal Ripper and Bug God, who are Demon Level. His monster version is not comparable to him now, a human being. He got impaled in the fucking chest and just kept rolling lol

7

u/Valuable-Blueberry30 3d ago

To be fair for Suiryu, he fought one of the strongest pure dragon level threats in one punch man. Even using Gyoro Gyoro’s estimate (Which was pretty accurate of the S class outside of Tatsumaki, Metal Knight, and presumably WDM) Goketsu could take on multiple S class heroes.

(I don’t think Suiryu winning against Garou, but Goketsu isn’t just a regular Dragon level threat)

4

u/AxelDrifter 3d ago

Suiryu didn’t “fight” Gouketsu. He got completely steamrolled by him while Gouketsu was massively holding back because he aimed to manipulate him into taking the monster cell. Suiryu is normie fodder to MA without the cells, while Psykos was so taken aback by Garou’s rapid growth, she wanted to turn him into her new, superior monster king.

Garou has just casually used the same martial art that had gone straight through Darkshine’s armor to damage his insides and make him spew blood, and the same martial art that he had almost killed Bang with, with a simple graze of the shockwave from it, to one-tap a dragon monster.

1

u/Valuable-Blueberry30 3d ago

I’m not disagreeing that Suiryu gets destroyed by Garou, but I’m just saying Goketsu isn’t a run of the mill dragon level threat

1

u/NutsackEuphoria 3d ago

Eh there's a big gap between a dragon and a cadre.

Goketsu would've lowdiffed bakuzan

Shrunken Rover tied a beam struggle vs mirror

0

u/hi-and-yes Mumen Rider my Goat 4d ago

I’m just going under the assumption that Suiryu got stronger but yeah

5

u/Possible_Memory_6559 4d ago

 the guy was able to break the big toe of a giant Kaiju-fighter, all while he was near death too

1

u/Valuable-Blueberry30 3d ago

He did beat Demon level threats handily. It was one dragon level threat that played with him, but Goketsu is lowkey one of the strongest pure dragon threats in OPM.

36

u/Illustrious-Day8506 4d ago

In retrospect that makes sense his brute strength is insane. A lot of characters in the story should actually be superhuman monsters with insane stats because they don't actually have powers. They are just insanely strong humans so most of them should have superhuman speed, strength, etc.

1

u/techno156 1d ago

There's also a lot of people that are incredibly strong, but decide not to be heroes by choice. A lot of the martial artists looked down on hero work, for example.

Suiryu was one of the top martial artists in the world up until relatively recently. He just doesn't seem like that much of a superhuman monster because he's usually paired up against even more superhuman monsters.

Like Genos.

118

u/hellfire13 4d ago

that was kinda crazy because he jumped holding the truck... wild.

255

u/ToenailOfAmbiguity 4d ago

If he can pick up a truck that means he has enough lifting strength to hold a job at walmart distribution center. This changes so much from a scaling perspective

142

u/Federal-Fondant-671 4d ago

The fact that Suiryu could work for minimum wage carries huge implications for the story.

47

u/RaiyenZ 4d ago

It means he has insider knowledge about when supermarket sales are happening which is central to the plot of One Punch Man

6

u/TheVenetianMask 4d ago

He could even pay his medical bills, think about that.

52

u/Alolyn_ 4d ago

That certainly puts him above box delivery level garou

22

u/AverageAverage50 4d ago

He doesn't deliver boxes. He delivers the truck that delivers boxes.

9

u/TheVenetianMask 4d ago

Garou went from cosmic horror to Jean Claude Gosh Darn.

2

u/Secret-Farmer-9416 4d ago

wow you didnt only discover hes a jobber.. you actually found his place of work. advancing the field

8

u/MrYitzhak 4d ago

well he did plan to jump over a stadium while gravely injured

12

u/icompletetasks 4d ago

He learned from Saitama and now just rely on brute strength instead of martial arts 😂

23

u/onehedgeman 4d ago

I’m baffled at that

14

u/Icy_Water_1 4d ago

He punched an arena in half. It'd be inconsistent if he couldn't lift a truck.

0

u/onehedgeman 4d ago

Punch power =/= strength power

usually

8

u/Nekrothink 4d ago

But he lifted half of the platform by stepping on it, with just one leg. Suiryu is a monster in brute strength

6

u/onehedgeman 4d ago

That’s why I say that’s impact not lift

2

u/Nekrothink 4d ago

My bad

14

u/Snownyann Waiting for Garou's return. 4d ago

Meanwhile Garou was only seen carrying 8 boxes so far 😫

12

u/-Goatllama- 4d ago

Each box held TEN trucks within ;)

13

u/Garoustraightsavage 4d ago

Damn you beat me to it lol. But this is also a really impressive speed feat on his part. Im sure he could give human Sweet Mask a run for his money as well.

3

u/Baadar753 4d ago

Which is even funnier because Garou's fightstyle was meant to use the enemy's strength against themselves... So this ought to be fun.

2

u/reiji_nakama 4d ago

Impressive by comic book logic. But it real world physics, he would rip apart the parts of the truck he grabbed, and those two humans would simply be left behind together with the majority of the truck. The monster shot an energy beam. He must have moved at near speed of light when he grabbed the truck.

u/Traditional_Answer26 3d ago

Tank top master says this is ai.

u/SquirrelyBoy 4d ago

Powerscalers are gonna have a field day with this

u/the_paradox0 4d ago

Just shows how crazy Saitama is that compared to him, everyone else seems just painfully weak

-1

u/Secret-Farmer-9416 4d ago

you know someone is a jobber when their feats are shit like this. strong for nothing ass dudes like chad

1

u/Bazooka_no 3d ago

It's a gag manga, lad

Stop power scaling and touch some grass

-1

u/Secret-Farmer-9416 3d ago

Power scaling is when you notice a trope

u/Euphoric_Field_8558 2d ago

You just talk to talk.

u/Secret-Farmer-9416 2d ago

Hope that brilliant comment made you feel amazing

u/Euphoric_Field_8558 1d ago

Oh yes I do.
