No longer like the ONE version, is Garou under the hands of Murata really impressive?

One Punch Man chapter 207 witnessed the comedy of the “new generation storm” group and Saitama’s supposedly less subtle life-saving act. After many chapters do not appear, the bald guy returns and confronts Garou. However, witnessing Garou in the past, many readers realized that this character is no longer the same as in the ONE version and has been refreshed by Murata.

When Garou is no longer the character that defeats many heroes like in the ONE version

Surely many readers One Punch Man impressed with the image of the monster Garou in the original ONE. Unlike the other villains, Garou is an independent character, ready to “smash anyone” in his way, whether it’s monsters or heroes. In the ONE version, in the war between heroes and monster associations, Garou fertilized many heroes and monsters before being defeated by the bald guy.

Garou is no longer “absolute evil” at the hands of Murata

But in the version drawn by Murata, it seems that this author no longer builds the image of Garou that we are familiar with in the ONE version. There are no more earth-shattering battles between Garou and heroes, but instead there is a funny Garou or even combined with Iron Cauldron to rescue the hostages. In general, Garou in the hands of Murata is quite “half-hearted” not as impressive as Garou in the version

Is the battle between Saitama and Garou still interesting

In the ONE version, Saitama’s appearance and confrontation with Garou received a lot of attention from readers when this monster had defeated many heroes and friends of Saitama before. However, in the version drawn by Murata, Garou does not seem to have harmed any heroes and also helps Bang to preserve his life. So the question is whether Saitama really wants to fight Garou or not. The answer is no, as Garou doesn’t seem to be the bald guy’s target.

Is the battle between Saitama and Garou still interesting?

At the end of One Punch Man chapter 207, Saitama and Garou have encountered each other, of course with their personalities, Garou will test new powers by rushing to attack the bald guy. Most likely we will see some epic scenes where Garou’s power is shown before Saitama takes action. With the current developments, Saitama’s main opponent is not Garou, this battle will end quickly to welcome someone else instead of Garou.

Overall, in recent chapters, Murata seems to be creating a new development for One Punch Man as Garou’s role is no longer shown as a villain. It is because of this that this monster encounter with Saitama will be more entertaining than a clash between a hero and a monster.

What do you think about the character Garou under Murata’s hand in the recent chapters of One Punch Man? How does this character building really make you satisfied? Please leave your comments!
