Holy shit can't believe what has happened to this franchise after the phenomenal season 1.
The manga has more animation than the fucking anime. It's crazy out there.

In what manner would you say he fucked it? I don't like the fact that redraws happen generally, but I like both versions of Garou being resolved. I don't know why, but I found the idea of talking Garou down to be really nice when the central conceit of the manga is that Saitama can defeat anyone with violence (except God for now), but I also really appreciated the maximal absurdity of the canon fight, seeing goofy jokes drawn with such incredible detail and scale. It's also funny imo that the logical conclusion of the arbitrarily strong guy fighting an arbitrarily strong rival is that nothing makes sense and reality is tearing at the seams.
That said, I kind of also think Garou was lame in all incarnations and I'm curious about what others think.
I ADORE the webcomic resolution to garou and i feel that its abscense in the manga makes the story so much weaker. And it does not help that murata was going to draw some version of it and then retconned it!
(though this still wouldnt of mitigated the need for time travel and "our" garou not learning the lesson.
That's seriously such a good panel. Iconic even after being retconned.
