In One Punch Man there are several espers. One of them claims to be stronger
than Tatsumaki. Is this true? Who is the strongest esper in One Punch Man?

Who is the strongest esper in One Punch Man?


Update: Gyoro Gyoro(Monster who created Orochi, the king of monsters) and
described by Tatsumaki as a "Bag of Flesh" was actually as said, a doll
controlled by an esper. While that esper goes by the name Psykos, nothing is
revealed about her yet in the manga (Much less the anime).

Spoiler from the Webcomics:

> In the Webcomics of One Punch Man (The most original version which is far
> ahead of the manga) created by the group One, shows the fight between Psykos
> and Tatsumaki. It is then revealed that Psykos was once a student/part of
> Fubuki's group and was nearly overpowered by Tatsumaki until the Cadets of
> the Monster Association attacked Tatsumaki. While defending herself against
> the Cadets, she didn't realize that Psykos was about to attack her until it
> was too late. After Tatsumaki was defeated by the surprise attack from
> Psykos, Fubuki comes in and attacks Psykos, which she comes out of
> victorious.

In conclusion, we could say that... (Spoilers)

> Fubuki is the strongest because she won against Psykos who defeated the
> "strongest" esper Tatsumaki, but seeing as Psykos was weakened and Fubuki
> had focused her training on defense against overwhelming psychic strength,
> they all were strong in their own ways. Tatsumaki had the overwhelming
> resistance and raw power to crush enemies, while Psykos and Fubuki used
> subtle techniques like doll manipulation (Gyoro Gyoro), and scattering the
> psychic waves respectively. However, as User Gary Andrews 30 pointed out,
> Tatsumaki was shown to be more powerful in several more instances and
> Fubuki's simple scattering technique didn't count as power.

OP specifies in the comment that they are referring to claims made by Gyoro-
Gyoro. Eventually Gyoro-Gyoro encounters Tatsumaki and they battle. The
following will be spoilers for anime-only people, but at this point the
encounter has happened in the manga, and is essentially the same as in the
webcomic.

Turns out it's all arrogant bluster by someone who didn't grasp the true
depths of Tatsumaki's power.

Tatsumaki, and by a wide margin.

geryuganshoop + Melzargard + Groribas (Boros's three lieutenants) together
have been stated to have very little chance against Orochi, even with prep
time.

Gyoro gyoro is weaker than Orochi, but was just a meat puppet controlled by
Psykos, Psykos plus a psychic enhancing drug was seemingly able to fight with
Orochi at least mentally and has shown more impressive abilities than
geryuganshoop and is probably stronger.

Orochi + Psykos + psychic enhancing drug + a boost by god + energy sucked up
from the planet was absolutely outclassed by Tatsumaki.

The question isn't whether Geryuganshoop could fight Tatsumaki, it's whether
or not Boros could.
