Warning : Contains spoilers forOne - slug Manchapter # 162
The most anticipated chapter in the history ofOne - Punch Manhas finally landed , and sports fan of the murder manga serial publication by One and Yusuke Murata are already divided between the enthusiast ones and those who are unhappy about the remainder with the webcomic version of themomentous fight between Saitama and Garou .
One - Punch Manstarted as a webcomic make by One , the same author behindMob Psycho 100.One - Punch Manbegan serialisation in 2009 on One ’s own website under no official publisher , until , in 2011 , artist Yusuke Murata , famous for illustratingEyeshield 21 , proposed to re - draw One ’s work . Murata used his contact in the industry to get a deal withWeekly Shonen Jump , soOne - Punch Manstarted being published as a digital mangaby Shueisha . One ’s original and compelling level do good from Murata ’s much more refined art style , and the manga became a spheric hit . The digital manga , however , does not necessarily follow the webcomic ’s plot , which does not always sit well with fan of One ’s original work .

in the beginning , One continued to work on the webcomic , but he took a very long pause from 2017 to 2019 , which made the digital manga steer even more away from the original . One story electric discharge they have in vernacular , however , is that ofthe Hero Hunter , Garou , who is a very important character as he was presented as , potentially , Saitama ’s first serious opponent . As sports fan ofOne - Punch Manknow , the supporter is a " hero for hobby " , who is so inviolable that he can never see any real challenges , despite how brawny his opponents might be . Garou , a martial artist who undergo a process of volatile growth that micturate him transform into a half - goliath , was teased as Saitama ’s first existent challenge , peculiarly in the digital manga whereGarou got so much focusto be considered a literal conscientious objector - protagonist . In chapter # 162 ( of the digital manga ) , the two finally occur to coke , but their conflict is already splitting fans in two .
In the webcomic , Garou was a less sympathetic character . He appeared more misguided in his pursuance for power , and more menacing when he in conclusion turned into a monster . At the vertex of the Monster Association Arc , Garou outwit up all the S - class heroes and teased them by menace to kill Tareo , a small fry he had really saved twice in the yesteryear ( a sequence that was provide out from the digital comic ) . That ’s whenSaitama steps in , beats Garou , and force him to acknowledge the fact that , despite his best efforts , he is not really a freak , as he shoot down the other heroes without killing them . On the other hand , in the digital comic it was made clear much earlier that Garou had no existent malevolent intentions , and he just wanted to create world peace through masses ’s fear and hatred of " Garou the monster " .
Some sports fan are not happy about this maturation ( as they have shownon Redditbut be warned , spoiler ahead ) , as they experience that in this way the buildup towards the Saitama - Garou fight is less effective . They might have a point , asGarou ’s journey of redemptionseems already completed at this point , so him challenging Saitama looks a bit redundant . However , there is no telling where the digital manga will really go with this story , so fan ofOne - Punch Manwill just have to expect and enjoy the epic confrontation between Saitama and Garou .
