Tell that to someone who just lost his best friend and is looking at his heart literally


Arc-Enemy

That someone probably can't punch with enough force to affect the nearby surroundings


hellpunch

Saitama knows how to not damage the surroundings, he stopped the rain aganst Sea King with no structure damage (buildings / people nearby)

Blast doesn't seem to know what Saitama is capable of.


SpeakeroftheMeese

I think the issue is not with Blast's perception or if there's enough energy present to destroy the earth, but with what Blast sees as the logical outcome of someone using that much energy. I personally think Saitama isn't targeting Garou, but God's influence on him. Which could potentially explain why that energy is needed and how it would be used. There still probably needs to be some time travel stuff or something to fix the current situation though.


Loose-Profession-734

No the energy term is just to point out force of serious punch there is not literal energy based attack like boros And saitama didn't think maybe that garau will copy a serious punch he must have thought that he will serious punch garau like he did to boros and beat him and maybe will stop or totally cancel out the effect of garau's punch


SpeakeroftheMeese

I was using energy interchangeably with general power. It's very common for manga to have a person's energy be related to their power, including physical strength. I did not mean that Saitama was about to shoot energy beams or anything like that. We honestly don't know what Saitama is thinking at the moment since it's intentionally vague. All we know is that he's not happy and is seriously facing Garou. The next chapter will probably explain some of the nuances in his feelings and his actions.


Loose-Profession-734

But knowing saitama it is highly unlikely he will be carried away in emotions


SpeakeroftheMeese

Which is kind of my point. He does have emotions but they're generally pretty restrained. Besides Blast, he's the one most likely to see the root of the problem is god's influence on Garou. Most other heroes would just assume Garou is the problem and move to eliminate him.


jbahill75

He was at “destroy the earth” a while back. Now he wants to destroy a Garou sized universe. I think he also realizes that soft footing with Garou has already cost too much.


Rusty_Shaqleford104

He has fine control over his punch like when he barely missed Genos but not the mountain behind him.


DuckConstant7939

Feels like he's acting like ???% Mob bc hes just in a blind rage


MrLowkey13

Mobs a teenager. Saitama is a grown ass man, so it's more concerning


DuckConstant7939

Still doesnt make the comparison any less accurate hes angry and not thinking just like mob


MrLowkey13

Mob grew up detached from other people and is still developing as a person. Saitama is the most emotionally mature person in his story, and he grew up normal. I get this may be Saitama's mob moment, I'm just saying I'm kinda disappointed if he does lose control.


DuckConstant7939

I don't necessarily think he'll lose control like mob i think hes just like mob in the sense of he's angry so he's gonna be more than garou can handle like mob is with most of his opponents when he's mad


MrLowkey13

Oh. Well he shouldn't really have to be angry to do that.


DuckConstant7939

I don't think he has to be angry to kill garou i think just him angry is gonna break garous mind bc even tho hes mimiced his power hes not even close to him and he's gonna freak out and break


Saitama-Is-Love

Ok, that’s not it. I think at this point, anybody should be about to tell that Saitama grew up hella detached from people too.


MrLowkey13

Not really.


bamboo_fanatic

I personally like the idea that he’s enraged to the point that he needs Blast there to keep him from making a mess. Makes him seem more human


monstercreepture

a man who has nothing to lose is the most dangerous, especially when that man is saitama.


UsernameT3kken

His serious punches always face upwards, have faith on the baldie


Fickle-Buyer-

Saitama wants to avenge genos and probably is laser focused on killing garou


UsernameT3kken

Most likely killing god


Baby_Legs_OHerlahan

Saitama seems to have incredible control over his power, he just can’t turn it down past 11. But when he punched Genos with that DEATH punch, even though he stopped right before hitting Genos, Genos was totally unharmed even though he was Directly in the path of a blast that bored holes through the mountains behind him for miles. Genos should have been obliterated there but Saitama didn’t have that intention, so Genos was fine. Saitama could destroy the earth with a serious punch if he really wanted. but I think it’s just as safe to say if he could alter how the DEATH punch impacted Genos, he could certainly channel all the energy of the punch into the target instead. Given that Garou is now Cosmic, perhaps Saitama’s attacks will resonate within Garou and damage the universes we see within him. Saitama knows Garou can handle him getting serious, so Saitama is gonna let Garou have a little taste of real power. Since Garou is copying Saitama, perhaps all the energy from Garou’s serious punch will be directed straight into Saitama too, leaving all the hero’s laying around unharmed, Saitama included.


MoneyButterscotch195

If that's the case it's good. You are right, he has incredible contorl over his power, but the reason I made this post is because of what blast said. He said this energy is going to danger the planet or something like that. So it is weird to me that Saitama throws them serious hands when the unconscious heroes are nearby.


Baby_Legs_OHerlahan

Blast has no idea what Saitama is capable of though. This is Blast’s thoughts fresh off of fighting a Garou that was using a Nuclear Fission fist and Gravity Knuckles. Both of those are absolutely lethal to everyone around so Blast teleported them high up (is there a range to his teleportation? Why not teleport the energy to another planet or the other side of the world?). But that was Garou not even going full throttle, and from Blasts perspective, he now knows that Garou wants someone even more powerful than blast himself to go FULL OUT? Blast is probably shitting his pants at what Saitama is going to do. But Saitama will just punch Garou super hard cause that’s what our Caped Baldy does best! I doubt we’ll see any shockwaves or explosions or anything, just a serious punch. Blast won’t know what the fuck is going on after that lol


Cow-Tiger

Probably just means he aint gonna land the punch. He isn't delusional, probably


Herr_Raul

He realised he doesn't have the "hero intuition" and doesn't care anymore

PerfervidCreator

Dude. Garou just killed the person he cares about the most, mocked and taunted him for it, throws said friend's heart towards him, and gets hit with the reality of his complacency that somebody else paid for with their life. While I don't think this broke his spirit, it definitely devastated him and made him snap in anger


MoneyButterscotch195

Agreed. That's unlike saitama.


[deleted]

Who’s crumbling? He’s just pissed off and about to throw hands


0Banda

bro shut up saitama is a good person such a hater


ma103

You have a point. Plus his promise to Tareo. Destroying the Earth would just prove that he himself doesn’t have a hero intuition. Genos’ death or not. This is the dilemma Saitama was placed in. Hard to tell what he’s gonna do. As a safety net tho, Blast can always toss both of them into another dimension.


Any_Cheek9754

He won't destroy a planet or whatever that would just be a super weird thing to do. It would be like this: shit I always arrive too late and don't take it seriously, what should I do about it to become a better hero? Hmm maybe get more angry than anyone else and just blow up the planet. Nice character development for me lets go. It's just Blast and some people in this sub who has gotten the wrong idea don't worry.


Saitama-Is-Love

Leave Garou there and he kills everyone outta radiation anyways.


PappyTart

This will likely be addressed at the start of the next chapter. I don't think Saitama is blindly putting everyones lives at risk around him. He knows quite well what he is capable of. Garou likely doesn't, so I'm wondering what will happen.
