raws are out

Genos absorb the memories of the now lost future timeline, at least he knows what happened to Garo and Saitama and maybe he knows how Blast fights in detail now too

Zoomed through the RAWS and Garou lost his cosmic abilities while Genos gained memories of what happend. Also, the cover of the volume is just so sick. I'm buying it straight away when it's out. Love to see the smile on his face.

Man everyone is venting their anger on garou now well I didn't understood much from the raws but really loved how king stood up for that kid (everyone was scared shitless lol) and garou just disappeared? Or maybe he wasn't just shown after those mecha robo things appeared, in the end looks like genos is going to visit his doc with siatama since he needs new arms and legs and other parts repaired overall good chapter and maybe it's finally the end of this long arc?

Absolutely amazing and sad to see Garou not accept who he truly is and I can’t wait for the future arcs to be adapted!

sad that only Genos knows what really happened and damn we multiverse now (many worlds interpretation)

Genos now knows how powerful Saitama is that he can twist and bend the laws of nature like a true Gag character

So, we are into a new universe?! Great!
This is last chapter of Monster Association arc, and this arc was amazing.

The chapter itself was dialogue heavy. Genos is the only being who knows what truly happened and Garou is also down. Excited to know where will saitama live after this incident and his new rank!

Loved everything but Genos being the only that knows what Saitama did, I'm disappointed he has reverted all that development but it's for the best in terms of his strength I guess.

Why do these time travel endings always have everyone getting their memories washed out lol. Anyways we back to square one with everything.

Also heard this century long arc is finally over, so that's something to be glad about.

Ohhh, the heart to heart talk between Garou and Saitama in the small room did not happen. Oh well, Garou lives, and is he gonna become a true ally to Saitama and live in his house too? Heheheh

The conclusion honestly felt weak, garou didn't faced consequences of his actions, there was lack proper monologue in this chapter.

I enjoyed the whole MA arc but this chapter was just not it.

Good things abt this chapter:-

1. Saitama and genos conversation where genos tells Saitama he made it in time to defeat garou.

2. Start of Zombie man's new arc.

3. Kings moment where he stops amai mask from Killing infront of a kid.

Things which i didnt like

1. Garou's conclusion

2. Saitama not remembering any of those things, character development reduced to dust.

While neat, I think this is ending with thorough disappointment for me. It didn't have ANY kind of conclusion for the current Garou. There was no talk-no-jutsu from Saitama. It's nothing like the webcomic, and I understand that, but there are zero reasons why Garou's "ultimate evil" mindset will be broken in this timeline because Saitama didn't give him his verbal martial art technique.

This chapter gets a 2/5 from me because, even though I haven't read the webcomic, I really don't care for the multiverse bullshit and Saitama destroying planets, I am not a fan of whole mega galactic stuff, and Garou's conclusion sucks tbh, as someone said above, he didn't face his actions own consequences and this chapter is caught lacking in a silver-tongued monologue. I just feel Garou vs Saitama should have more emotional weight and whole ideologies about Monsters and Heroes should be explored more than just the fight being "cool" and flashy eh whatever, I still think on its own is a worth a while fight but didn't achieve its potential. The only positive thing about this chapter is probably Taroe's reaction to Garou as a fictitious entity, quite an emotional peak ngl this child has been dependent on his so-called "uncle" for such a long time, altogether such a let down in terms of character development tbh. I still appreciate some moments here but the execution is occasionally cheap, that's all about it. At least this isn't as bad as the newest MHA chapter.

This one... felt a bit weaker than the last few?

To be honest, I thought we were going to see Garou vs S class here in his monster form, but I guess not.

I'm glad we got to see Metal Knight - I'd love to see a bit more of him and what his intentions are.

You described how I feel as well.

For me personally, OPM has lost quite a lot of it’s charm in this monstrous arc.

My feelings too. This arc really went away from what made OPM so enjoyable to me. I’m intrigued as to where we go from here.

Absolutely HATE how they didn't even allow Saitama and Garou to remember anything. I was okay with time travel but NOT THIS!!!

Apart from this, it was just a mediocre chapter. Such a sad conclusion to the arc, after everything amazing that had happened.

damnit, I though everyone already know that Saitama punch Garou, but turn out the didn't even see it clearly.
only Genos know the real event through the core from the future.
I hope Dr. Kuseno analize it and tell at least those who're close to Saitama know the real events.

Saitama not remembering the future doesn't set well with me, this just adds up to the pile of issues about Saitama like how he doesn't just say what he wants to say it's just plain facts why do u need to hide? also if Saitama doesn't remember the future does that mean that the power increase he got in the future is also gone the moment he landed the punch or what?

page 2 : "murata re-wrote some lines in the time-travel explaination" . re-write or not re-write , both of them is still time-travel bull-sh!ts that can not happen in the real world . murata is just a mangaka , not a scientist .

page 5 :
with some previous monsters / disasters , at least saitama knows that he is the one who saves the day .
now , even saitama doesnt know / doesnt remember that he is the one who saves the day . this is the opposite of progress ?

page 7 : the core is actually just a lifeless piece of metal , but then suddenly , genos gains the bull-sh!tting power psychometry ?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychometry_(paranormal)

Psychometry is a form of extrasensory perception characterized by the claimed ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by making physical contact with that object.

There is no scientific evidence that psychometry exists and the concept has been widely criticized.

page 17 :
more un-explained bull-sh!t : somehow , garou 's soul also could time-travel , and the soul can talk to the kid .

- kid : ... oji-san ...

page 19 : the transition makes no sense :
at the end of chapter 163/210 , the tank-top t@rds are so scared of garou that they are sh!tting in their pants .
now in this chapter 167/214 , suddenly , the tank-top t@rds are not scared of garou anymore .

countless a$$-holes are beating up 1 a$$-hole , i dont know which side that i should root for .
this is like countless white policemen are beating up 1 black prisoner .

page 21 , panel 2 : it is funny that even these 2 nameless , Z-class heroes are looking down on the rabid Metal Batsh!t , a S-class hero , lol .

page 24 :
- ... zombieman-san ...

page 26 :
- garou : ku ku ku , ha ha ha ...

page 29 :
- king : ... tareo-kun ...

page 32 :
- ... king-san ...

page 38 :
- king : saitama-shi = mr saitama

page 41 :
- saitama : ... jii-san ...

from now on , i will give the nick-name "bowling ball" to metal knight , because his face also has 3 holes , lol .

this whole arc is probably gonna be on my top favs,jst the pure adrenaline and hype frm all the fights and also the art was god tier

not mch of a fan of the time travel/sci-fi stuff bt still dont really bother me cuz at the end of the day its a gag manga
the last chapter was kinda chill though,still overall i fckin loved it,i usually tend to hate action mangas bt i guess opm changed my mind,binged all of it in one day though so i guess my look on the manga is a bit different frm the people who waited for it and thought it was dragged out

I thought the arc was great but didnt like the ending so much after he became cosmic garou and stuff. i thought that part was pretty lame. Up until then it was good though. i thought it was funny that garou kept accidentally saving people and it seemed like all that was slowly starting to change him but hten all that got retconned and they put in this weird cosmic shit and time travel.
