** After realizing that the Sage Centipede has a core similar to Orochi that allows it to regenerate, Garou, having undergone even further growth, blasts through the monster and rips the core out. He then launches it skywards, prompting the Centipede to go after it.
** Having tricked Sage Centipede to extend its entire body, Garou races up its back, leaps onto the core just it catches it, and leaps off, destroying the core. Then, with one godlike karate chop, BISECTS the monster from top to bottom. Garou proves that it is HE, not the Centipede that is divine retribution.

Even though you said you wanted to be a "monster of absolute evil"... What you really wanted to be was a hero. But you compromised and decided to be a monster. To bring about world peace, you took the easy route, thinking a monster's job was quicker and easier than a hero's. A monster's role is simpler after all, all you had to do was defeat heroes. It's perfect for someone with no confidence like you. BUT YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT ME. And peace made by ruling the world with fear can't succeed as long as you can't defeat me. So it will never work. It's absolutely impossible for you. Because if it's your compromised monster hobby vs my serious hero hobby, even if that's all I had, I still wouldn't lose! It was a mistake to lower the hurdle right before the goal. A half assed objective just can't succeed. You can't do it with Absolute Evil. But what about "next time"? [[ArmorPiercingQuestion What will you do next?]]

Also while Zombieman ends up captured by the Organization, it's highly implied he let them capture him to get intel. Not to mention the fact that, unlike the Neo Heroes, the Organization actually puts effort into removing the S-Class heroes and other irregularities such as Garou by sending Machine Gods to capture them, which all but states that Neo Heroes is no threat to them.

That last part gets a few of the assembled creatures murmuring in uncertainty. Just then Orochi, who has been still as a statue prior to this point, "awakens" and decides to punish Awakened Cockroach, who barely escaped Genos earlier. Calling him a loser, Orochi extends his tentacles and pierces the coward's torso, before finally eating him while he screams. This [[HorrifyingTheHorror shocks all the monsters present]] and serves to utterly silence all their doubts about his strength.

* Dr Kuseno gives Genos a final upgrade before his passing from heavy wounds. And old doctor ''really'' made a good job out of it. An army of robots starts attacking the city, many explosions occur. Thankfully, Genos shows up to save the day... [[BigEntrance By outright stomping]] [[https://services.f-ck.me/v1/image/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uZGlzY29yZGFwcC5jb20vYXR0YWNobWVudHMlMkY5MTcyMzEwNDQwMTk3NTcwODYlMkYxMTA3MDQ4NzMxMDQ1NTM1ODc3JTJGMDUucG5n the street first]]. Demon Cyborg takes care of robots in seconds, running into them and quickly attacking. He later even flies off the battlefield to defeat other big monster. To think in his fist appearance of the story he struggled to defeat a Demon Level Monster with now defeating the enemies with no sweat. Genos really did TookALevelInBadass. Saitama himself admits that Kuseno's work paid off.

** More than that, despite the anger involved, Tatsumaki actually seems to be having ''fun'' fighting Saitama. She's never been able to go completely, unrestrainedly all-out on anyone or anything before. It's notably the first time she's ever seen smiling and bright-eyed during a fight. She may relate to Saitama more than they might think.

* The utterly absurd odds that this series had to overcome to get to where it is today. It started out as a poorly-drawn webcomic. Despite the poor art, it got incredibly popular, eventually gaining the attention of Yusuke Murata, the illustrator for ''Manga/Eyeshield21''. Murata offered to redraw ''One Punch Man'' for digital publication by Weekly Young Jump. From there, it continued to grow in popularity, gaining an international release, and finally, the lovingly animated masterpiece that we all know.
* FandomRivalry with ''Franchise/DragonBall'' and ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' fandoms over who is stronger. These two fandoms are well-known for their stern refusal to accept their respective favorite is not the strongest hero ever; it's the reason why they've been at each other's throats for years. However, they are also pretty dismissive of most characters from other franchises with comparable showings, only really focusing on each other as a rival. The fact that Saitama's been accepted as a serious contender in their UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny speaks volumes about how impressive his exploits have been. ''Especially since Dragon Ball has been around for a few decades and Superman for nearly a CENTURY, giving plenty of time to have legendary exploits, while One Punch Man only appeared a few years ago.''
* The English dub: the fact that Creator/BangZoomEntertainment were able to get Creator/ChristopherSabat and Creator/MikeMcFarland, two voice actors who usually work with Creator/FUNimation, as part of the dub cast (albeit as characters who don't last beyond a single episode).
* Once Season 2 of the anime got announced the tweet from the official One Punch Man twitter got almost 30K retweets and ''One Punch Man'' Season 2 was also trending for an entire day.
* Not only did it air on Toonami, and not only did it constantly get high ratings, but it also managed to get episode promos for each episode after the third episode. The first time a show got this on Toonami since the first runs of ''Anime/SpaceDandy'' and '''Manga/AttackOnTitan'''.
* Someone made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuAFt-39vdI video]] of Saitama's fight against the Subterraneans with sound effects from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. Seeing one of Saitama's punches connect accompanied by the shotgun blast of Star Platinum's fists is an amazing experience.
* ''Creator/RoosterTeeth'' would for the Season 8 finale of ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'', pit Saitama against [[Franchise/{{Popeye}} Popeye The Sailor Man]] which ends with Saitama's defeat, but the biggest factor to it was not Saitama being weaker or slower than Popeye but rather that their respective worlds operated differently (Saitama's world, being not too different from ours despite the super powers and monsters compared to Popeye's which constantly operates on ToonPhysics), to summarise, it took a character from a cartoon that frequently defies the laws of physics to defeat Saitama and during the fight itself [[WorthyOpponent Saitama realised he finally got the serious fight he dreamed of despite it costing him his life]].

Don't think that all children are waiting for heroes. There are even kids around the world waiting for a great monster to take the stage. Can you save them!? Can you follow the ugly kid being picked on in the park!? I can! I can save the whole world with terror! While humanity is fearing Garou the Monster, everyone's hearts will unite to survive. Is there any peace other than this!? Can you create peace? Can you unbiased save the world with that flimsy cape? Do you have the means to stop the unseen tragedies? You're strong but so what? You may defeat me, but can you handle it?! THE RESPONSIBILITY!!! WELL!? IF YOU'RE GOING TO DEFEAT ME, THEN ANSWER THE QUESTION! WHAT WILL YOU ACCOMPLISH? Why will you kill me now?

The three move so insanely fast through the air that they look like an entire night sky filled with stars, each "star" being a moment they clash.

* In the chapter 166 of manga, Blast makes his onscreen fighting debut against Awakened Garou Cosmic Fear Mode, and he shows that he's not the S-Class Rank 1 for nothing (which even Garou acknowledged). He's the only hero (other than Genos due to him being a cyborg) that can resist Garou's cosmic radiation that causes many other heroes around him, including the S-Classes, to collapse and die shortly after. He was able to cause some damage in his Gravity Knuckle attack, and if not for Garou's PowerCopying abilities, to anyone else Blast can end fights very quickly by simply teleporting them into another dimension. Blast is also skilled enough to manipulate his portal creating abilities to hit Garou and then repeatedly bring him close to his range after being sent flying from each hit. Garou later copies his Gravity Knuckle to combine it with his Nuclear Fission for his RapidFireFisticuffs, and Blast was able to engage him in a PummelDuel by generating portals to redirect his punches to a safer area. Above it all, Blast is worried throughout the fight, but it wasn't due to him in losing position, but for the well-being of the planet due to the collateral damage Garou can cause. Which would imply that Blast is ''still'' holding back against Garou to some extent, likely using a force needed to put down Garou without causing much collateral damage himself.

Blast is also skilled enough to manipulate his portal creating abilities to hit Garou and then repeatedly bring him close to his range after being sent flying from each hit. Garou later copies his Gravity Knuckle to combine it with his Nuclear Fission for his RapidFireFisticuffs, and Blast was able to engage him in a PummelDuel by generating portals to redirect his punches to a safer area. Above it all, Blast is worried throughout the fight, but it wasn't due to him in losing position, but for the well-being of the planet due to the collateral damage Garou can cause. Which would imply that Blast is ''still'' holding back against Garou to some extent, likely using a force needed to put down Garou without causing much collateral damage himself.
* Saitama vs Awakened Garou. The Hero Hunter truly lives up to hisname name.
** Both:
*** Though Garou is overwhelmed every time they clash, he actually keeps mostly-even pace with Saitama, and even after taking punch after punch, ''doesn't show any damage.''
*** It's not just the action that is great in the battle involving Garou, there is also a second psychological layer going on of Garou trying to break Saitama by [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech telling him how heroes suck]]; meanwhile, Saitama is trying to figure what Garou's deal is and where he comes from.
** Webcomic:
*** when he undergoes a metamorphosis that turns him into a devilish figure, leaving him ''[[OhCrap bald]]'', and takes out the S-Class Heroes with virtually no effort, becoming the closest to approaching the level of might that the protagonist himself hasyet. Though Garou is overwhelmed every time they clash, he actually keeps mostly-even pace with Saitama, and even after taking punch after punch, ''doesn't show any damage.'' yet.
*** It's only after he grows so infuriated with Saitama's inability to be surpassed and transforming into a gradually more grotesque monster that he actually ''weakens'', allowing Saitama to defeat him in the usual fashion. Though his villainous status is called into question afterwards, he is the one, the ''only'' antagonist to ''ever'' hold against a Saitama consistently going on the offensive.

***** Speaking of which, a big factor in how Saitama is not just able to do that but also ends up doing it better than Zombieman is that he is so strong that it allows him to perceive that Garou isn't going all out in the battle, cluing him into the fact that something is off.
* *** The payoff of that psychological battle? Saitama eventually comes to realize something about Garou, something that his opponent himself didn't. As Saitama shares that realization and asks him what he will do now, Garou's mind is blown and his spirit broken, effectively ending the fight.
* ** Manga:
*** Instead of a ClippedWingAngel, when he got more infuriated with Saitama's inability to be surpassed in the manga, he gets increasingly relentless in his attacks with Saitama, and he managed to escalate the collateral damage he created from destroying several buildings at once with Great Fa Jin, then destroying a whole volcanic mountain, then cause planetary-scale damage with Extreme Fa Jin which passed through Earth's core, moved oceanic plates, made a continent raise up from the other side of the planet, and messing with the magnetic and gravitational fields.
*** Even more, despite the huge collateral damage caused by those attacks, Garou's actions inadvertently saved people, freeing the Hero Association staff members inside an underground shelter who are trapped in the rubble and accidentally saving a city from being covered by the volcano's lava flow.
*** In the manga Garou gains a new stage in his Awakened mode, Cosmic Fear Mode, which doesn't even need to lift a finger to finish off the heroes around him (except Blast and cyborgs like Genos), including the S-Classes, as he emits a cosmic radiation strong enough to collapse them and shortly kill them after. His PowerCopying abilities are increased to the point that he can copy non-physical abilities such as Blast's portal generation, or power outputs like Saitama's punches, as seen in how Blast noted that their colliding Serious Punches become Serious Punch ''squared'' as it was evenly matched, and can potentially destroy the planet.
*** After Garou kills Genos, Saitamacompletely stops messing around and fights all out more seriously against him. Such as using his insane speed and the surrounding debris to pull off a Serious Omnidirectional Punch. Even when Garou flees into a portal, Saitama chases him faster than the martial artist can flee.
* *** While fighting on one of Jupiter's moons, Saitama ''shatters'' the entire moon with a Serious Table Flip.
**Flip. The following chapter, Saitama devastates Jupiter itself with a sneeze, Serious Sneeze, ''while still on the remains of the moon''.
* Awakened Garou *** Cosmic Fear Mode proves so incredibly powerful, that he not only forces Saitama to go all out, put more effort in his fight for extended time, Saitama actually grows ''stronger'' throughout their fight.
*fight due to his emotional outburst, of which Garou can't keep up with, but he lasted long enough to witness that aspect of Saitama.
*** In chapter 168, Garou gets Saitama to duplicate the power of God without actually accepting God's power, all so he can go back in time and stop Garou from killingTakeo.Tareo. By this, Saitama's abnormally powered punch from Jupiter went back in time and landed on Garou before it was thrown, thus, Saitama ended up defeating Garou with ''zero'' punch this way.
* Fubuki eventually challenges Psykos to a
* In the chapter 166 of manga, Blast makes his onscreen fighting debut against Awakened Garou Cosmic Fear Mode, and he shows that he's not the S-Class Rank 1 for nothing (which even Garou acknowledged). He's the only hero (other than Genos due to him being a cyborg) that can resist Garou's cosmic radiation that causes many other heroes around him, including the S-Classes, to collapse and die shortly after.
