Penny for your thoughts on this battle?

Based on Jotora's respect thread I would back flashy flash.

I'm already looking forward to the OPM highballing that'll occur through the use of the hyperbolic statement at the start of the latest Chapter. Not.

Well as of right now, we still don’t really know how fast flashy flash can move but it has been 100 percent confirmed that star platinum moves at faster than light speeds so idk if flash will be able to get through the constant defense and attack that Jotaro would have on his side until we know for sure how fast he is

The speed of liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighhhhtttt

Jotaro does not have lightspeed reaction times :/

@red_ruby_petal: @kingcrimson: @hittheassasin: Well, have some fun tearing each apart, kids! ^_^/

While I'm not saying we need to take the statement of Flashy Flash being faster than light as as undeniable fact, I don't think it should be written off as hyperbole just yet. It's quite clear intention is for him to be faster than light, so we should at least wait until we see more from him before writing it off as hyperbole or outlier(especially since nothing currently contradicts his FTL statement).

@thewatcherking: I mean, the full statement reads "The Recurring, Fleeting Flash, Sharper Than All, Faster Than Light..."

The "sharper than all" part of the statement is clearly hyperbolic so why not the faster than light part? It's one cohesive statement. You can't pick and choose which part of a single sentence you want to take literally.

I'll go with stalemate. Jotaro shouldn't be able to hurt someone who tanked blows from Monster Garou. But if Jotaro is FTL and has time-stop then Flash can't really do anything to him either.

Time stop is removed for this match, and Jotaro isn't FTL. Maybe FTS at moments, but never at that speed.

I'm not saying it can't be hyperbole. But it seems quite clear the intention was to portray Flash as at lightspeed or above it, when you take into consideration his webcomic name and technique along with the most recent statement in the manga for his speed.

You can't pick and choose which part of a single sentence you want to take literally.

But what would "sharper than all" even mean within that context? Such a statement would hardly make sense when taken at face value, while you can easily see what the meaning behind "faster than light" is. I don't think the statement alone is enough to argue Flashy Flash being above lightspeed, but I just think that we should wait before acting like Flashy Flash being that fast is improbable.

@thewatcherking: The best argument you can make for Flash being lightspeed or faster is the fact hero names are chosen to reflect the qualities of the hero. Because technique names hold no weight at all.

But what would "sharper than all" even mean within that context?

I take it to mean his blade and attacks are sharper than all and he moves faster than light.

Well then he's just a regular street leveller. Flash would stomp him badly.

Seeing as how it's already been confirmed some dragon tiered characters like Geryuganshoop are confirmed relativistic in the redraw, it's very likely that Flashy Flash's speed isn't hyperbolic.

Not to say that the panel is a feat, obviously, but I have a feeling he'll get the feats to back it up at least a little bit pretty soon vs Garou.

Is the latest chapter out yet or is this just from a preview from Murata's stream? And Flashy Flash is stated to be faster than light?

This is the statement, and yes the chapter is out.

Yep, the Chapter is indeed out:

One Punch Man Chapter 95

@higherpower:

But what would "sharper than all" even mean within that context?

I take it to mean his blade and attacks are sharper than all and he moves faster than light.

Wouldn't it make more Sense if it was referring to his intelligence, though? Like how some Refer to being to have an Intelligent mind as Sharp?

@thewatcherking: @hittheassasin Thanks for the scan and links.

Jotaro is not FTL, neither is FF.

If we go by feats Flashy blitzes Jotaro into oblivion, as much as i like him lol.

I havent seen all of Jotaro as I've only seen up to part 3, but from what I saw Flashy Flash blitzes
