"One Punch Man" main character Saitama and the human monster Garou battle is one of the most anticipated battles in the world of anime. The latest chapter of the manga drawn by Yusuke Murata teases the power gap between Garou and Saitama. There's also a theory that tries to answer the origin of Caped Baldy's super strength.

The "One Punch Man" manga released an update after Gouketsu's attack in the Super Fight Arena. Saitama left the battle damaged Suiryuu and wandered around the temporary peaceful streets. He met King around the area and the two unlikely buddies talked about Saitama's surfacing depression. Surprised that even Saitama has problems, King gave advises for Saitama (which he ripped off in the manga that he read). 

It seems like Saitama is having an unwanted depression because of his super strength. He, later on, revealed to King that he missed the thrill of defeat, emphasizing that he cannot feel himself get stronger anymore. But where could he possibly get his super strength? One answer given was Saitama was a human and is now a monster, having his limit broken, as reported by Blasting News. According to the theory, Saitama's transformation as a monster was his baldness, not transforming into another form because his intention was "pure", and that is to come stronger for his hero dream. 

There are two ways in which a human could possibly turn into monsters: when a human has been swallowed by a certain desire, and the other by eating Monster Cells, as reported by Mstar News. Garou has transformed into a monster and reverted back into a human in ONE's webcomic. Saitama might have the same faith.

The latest chapter of "One Punch Man" also showed a glimpse of Watchdog Man's power. He defeated Garou in a match, the latter learning his Martial Art's flaw. But Garou, like Saitama in the past, will grow stronger in every battle he had fought. Though when he tried to attack King when he saw Saitama and King walking in the streets, Saitama had him blasting in the wall with one kick. It looks like Garou has a long way to go before he can be a match for Saitama.
