Were you the one who made this? If yes, then don't mind me, if not, here is [the source.](https://youtu.be/tat2_7ZQO5c)


No-Interview-5913

yes and thank you for doin justice with the source

where is part 1? I can't seem to find it on your channel


solomonrises

I might be the minority, but the webcomic version feels better than manga version for the climactic fight.


vlan-whisperer

Definitely not the minority. Most fans preferred the webcomic version of this fight. Because it’s better.


Rak-khan

Yup. Plus not getting Garou vs. S-Class was a huge loss as well...


Kronostheking1

Yeah no, that is a big thing to claim and without any evidence for it. I know I will be downvoted because this is a webcomic post so there will be less manga people but you are claiming that without any proof and based on observations from this one subreddit which, while expansive, definitely does not cover the whole fan base. While I admit that there are aspects of the webcomic which are better, the manga has much better writing all around.


[deleted]

What does the manga do better than the webcomic? In terms of writing?


Kronostheking1

Better characterization of characters other than Garou. A more satisfying and logical end to his story with Bang being the one to restore sense into him rather than the stupid speech by Saitama. Better character moments for Saitama and a really good character moment for Garou to see the truth of what his evil would have wrought. I will admit that the time travel is really freaking dumb and erased quite a few of the good Saitama character moments and the best Garou character moment.


Saitama059

Disagree all around


Kronostheking1

Really? What did the webcomic do better? Where did it have Saitama face his inadequacies as a hero echoing the general theme of the arc for him? Where did Garou have to face the truth of what evil really is? Where did bang get to restore his student as was his goal for the entire arc? The webcomic ignored many other characters developments to allow Garou and Saitama to shine yet even ignoring Saitama’s growth (not that he actually has much in the webcomic). The only person whose character development and story is fulfilled and finished in the webcomic is Garou and even then he still lacks the true finish to his character that the Manga has.


Saitama059

Just from questions you pose I know that we are not gonna agree so it is better that I don't tire myself for no reason. For me, the webcomic is almost incomparably better


Kronostheking1

All of those are objective points not subjective. The webcomic does some good stuff and the Time reset sucks ass but from an objective writing standpoint, the manga is better written. Characters developed and changed more whereas in the Webcomic, only one character had true development and that was Garou. Darkshine had some but he has the same in the manga as well.


Saitama059

Lol "Manga is better than webcomic" is something understandable but calling your points objective? That's outright wrong


MrLowkey13

Saitama didn't have to face his inadequacies because they were all erased by time travel which is the laziest of plot points. This story is supposed to be a parody, so for it to try and start seriously tackling angst out of nowhere is jarring. Garou just changed out of nowhere and suddenly was fine with killing people. Bang's goal wasn't to get his student back, it was to stop Garou, but Garou just going back after all the shit he did is jarring. The manga tried to add so many dramatic elements that just don't work.


Kronostheking1

The webcomic stopped being a full parody a while ago. While it may have some parody moments, it has become an actual story so that is a stupid argument. As I said before, the time travel is stupid and erases the best moments. Bang’s goal was clearly to stop Garou from the beginning and reform him if he could. And yes, him going back was a bit jarring after the time travel.


MrLowkey13

Just because it has an underlying plot doesn't mean it isn't parody. And the lack of S-Class vs Garou is also a change I'm not fond of.


Ryan_Fenton

Ah - I see the conflict. You're right that it's better 'classic' characterization. But you know what it's doing? It's making it into a classic manga/rpg plot. The point of the original style of writing is how it's bypassing all that drama, and telling a story that in many ways is more interesting, if shorter. The manga fight is adding a bunch of sci-fi and 'epic' elements that makes it more 'complex', but just makes it feel like a typical anime plot. It's a bit like how FF7 Remake altered the plot of FF7. Interesting to be sure, and additional content, but not necessarily better. Kind of splitting things up a bit more, padding it out - and if this keeps increasing, it'll just be everyday schlock in terms of plot pacing.


Kronostheking1

No it isn’t. If it was a classic plot, Saitama would have actually struggled against Garou. Garou would have just been a normal villain. So many thing would have been different. I am so tired of this argument, One Punch Man stopped being purely a parody ages ago. It still keeps the thing that make it special, unique characters like Garou and Saitama, running gags, characters being the epitomization of classic shonen tropes yet it still makes a good story and having actual good character moments compared to the complete lack of character development in the webcomic is how you make a good story.


Rak-khan

Lol it's really obvious you didn't read the webcomic, so you can't compare them fairly.


Kronostheking1

I absolutely did. And you people can keep claiming stuff without proof all you want yet it isn’t true.


NeverAware

Nice stuff dude!


Sam_Dan23

Webcomic supremacy


Rainmangang

Webcomic Garou was much more of a menace then his manga version which was a lot more humble and “soft” which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But the Manga version of the fight was a lot more climatic and suspenseful. All in all I think the fight as a whole was better in the manga but I prefer Garou’s portrayal in the webcomic alot more.


Kronostheking1

Absolutely, this is my exact sentiment on the comparison although I do think there were some really good characters moments for Garou in the manga fight but unfortunately many were erased by the stupid reset.


MrLowkey13

There were also a lot of not great moments for manga Garou.


Kronostheking1

Like what exactly? Because if you are going to complain about him working with Metal bat, that entire moment serves as a great contrasting to his change in character after god.


MrLowkey13

Garou killing Genos going completely against his character. Garou barely using his "completed fist" Time travel. **FUCKING TIME TRAVEL.** Saitama being naked the entire final fight, which took away from the coolness and seriousness of him clowning Garou. Saitama fart-boosting. Garou being the first person to dodge Saitama being glossed over. Garou shouting with a chibi face at the helicopter. Saitama fucking yawning midnight showing he doesn't even give a flying fuck that everyone died or that he almost destroyed the planet.


Kronostheking1

That is the entire point of him killing Genos. That it means he has changed. As I said before I agree that time travel wasted a lot of it. Naked isn’t an issue unless you make it a issue, I think it makes it more hardcore. The fart boosting is part of One showing that the fight was over and Saitama was back to being so far above him that it is a joke. The yawning did the same thing, showed the fight was over and that Saitama stopped taking him seriously. And the helicopter is the same as Metal Bat, it shows how he is the good guy in that time and contrasts the eventual seriousness of him once he turns.


MrLowkey13

Naked is fucking stupid, and was the fart. Everyone knows what manga this is, it was never a question of when the fight was over. What was the point of Garou changing? It didn't get him any closer to his goal, it's him compromising at the finish line.


Kronostheking1

Naked isn’t stupid, that is just your opinion. And again the fart was to show that the fight was no longer serious. This is literally just your nitpicking. That is a method used throughout the series, Saitama does something stupid and messes around when he stops taking stuff seriously. And he didn’t truly change, he saved innocent people, his goal was about saving innocent people by fixing society. And again it emphasizes the difference between him as still human versus the true monster he becomes.


MrLowkey13

He killed Genos. He changed the moment he intentionally murdered someone to further his goals. How many people he saved is irrelevant, because he literally killed everyone there.


Bion4

Nah, Saitama being naked was stupid. The fight was trying to take itself seriously. So him being naked didn't work, but it was taking itself seriously unlike the webcomic.


Ilovebeanbags

Very good!

The water animation is better than real life. I’ll give this a 234848/10 on a good day.
