Why Tatsumaki vs Monster Garou IS Close

Garou and Tatsumaki are two of the strongest characters in the One Punch Man manga and a fight between them would no doubt be a spectacle to watch. This matchup hasn't been covered nearly as much as I would expect it to be, so today I am here to give my thoughts on it.

One-Punch Man (Japanese: ワンパンマン, Hepburn: Wanpanman) is a Japanese superhero manga series created by One. It tells the story of Saitama, a superhero who, because he can defeat any opponent with a single punch, grows bored from a lack of challenge. One wrote the original webcomic manga version in early 2009.

A digital manga remake, illustrated by Yusuke Murata, began publication on Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump website in June 2012. Its chapters are periodically compiled and published into individual tankōbon volumes. As of November 2022, 27 volumes have been released. In North America, Viz Media has licensed the remake manga for English language release and has serialized it in its Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine.

An anime adaptation produced by Madhouse was broadcast in Japan from October to December 2015. A second season, produced by J.C.Staff, was broadcast from April to July 2019. A third season has been announced. Licensed in North America by Viz Media, it premiered in the United States on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block in July 2016. The second season premiered on the block in October 2019.

By June 2012, the original webcomic manga surpassed 7.9 million hits. By April 2020, the manga remake had sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time.

The Monster Association consists of around 500 monsters, about 30 of which are disaster level Demon or higher. The Boss (ボス, Bosu) is the Monster King, Orochi, although the organization is actually overseen by the Military Advisor (参さん謀ぼう, Sanbō), Gyoro Gyoro (who is actually a puppet of Psykos, the creator of Orochi). Directly below them in ranks are the Executives (幹かん部ぶ, Kanbu), also known as Cadres (referred to as Leaders in the Viz Media), who are specially promoted by Gyoro Gyoro.[2]

The Monster Association is founded on the belief that one monster alone will eventually fall, but all of them together can defeat the heroes. Many monsters believe that they are stronger than the heroes; Gyoro Gyoro has to remind them that this will be their downfall,[3] though sometimes he uses this to his advantage.

The goal of the Monster Association is to end the Hero Association and create a world of monsters ruled by Monster King Orochi.[6] However, most members only joined forces for the former and do not view Orochi as their king,[7] but they do acknowledge his great power.[8] The plan is to lure the Hero Association into a decisive showdown.[9] There are three primary objectives that are required to make this plan feasible:[10]
