STRONGEST One-Punch Man Discussion Thread!

[D4yN4m0N]

In my theory, Saitama's power is basically narrative trying to make anything they try against him useless, making him always the strongest. All the things the Garou tried against him didn't work, such as martial arts, an attack that negates durability by hitting the organs, dimensional portals he kicked and caught, power mimicry that became useless over time, etc. So, Saitama would be immune to any hax from his verse, as the narrative would always make that hax useless against him. Basically Saitama could do whatever he wants as long as he wants, like not needing oxygen to survive in space. So if there was a being that had soul manipulation or transmutation, narrative would make it useless against him.

I dunno guys maybe the clash between Saitama and Garou simply made a giant dark circle that blocked out those stars

Murata accidentaly spilled ink in a perfect circle and hoped no one would notice.

 

[JustANormalPerson01]

Basically Saitama has plot armor but canon. It reminds me to someone

Not how I interpret it. Pretty sure it's just that him breaking his limiter gives him limitless potential, thus he can continue to grow forever and isn't really bound by limitations in any aspect. Power, speed, durability, etc., he can keep growing in all manners and won't ever reach a ceiling in any of them. It makes more sense with the wording used. Saying "Saitama is still growing".

 

[JustANormalPerson01]

Power, speed, durability, hax resistance, etc.

Improved

Would be a cool thematical battle if both are in character. inb4 Medaka somehow copies Serious Sneeze
OPM and Medaka Box also have that whole absurd NLF going for them.

I have a feeling that choosing to wait until the arc is properly over is gonna end up saving us from a headache of some kind

 

[ZillertheBucko]

one day saitama's gonna get resistance to everything he actually will be able to stomp jojo and bleach, I believe it after these chapters of radiation, serious farts, portals, time manipulation, sneezing jupiter, and instant power copying

 

[Magmag]

im confused, did garou punch saitama into the sun or something? cuz he says "the sun" teleports supposedly to the sun then teleports to earth. which would give saitama some good heat resistance if he was close to the sun...

He didn’t punch Saitama into the sun.

He didn’t punch Saitama into the sun.

then where'd he punch him.

 

[HammerStrikes219]

then where'd he punch him.

In a different area away from the sun and other cosmic bodies.

 

[Hellsing]

Lucifer vs Saitama

 

[Whatacoolname]

So this chapter confirms that saitama could one tap himself from yesterday huh

thats an understatement even, saitama can one tap his last punch lol.

 

[Apeironaxim]

So this chapter confirms that saitama could one tap himself from yesterday huh

well the chapter itself just says he keeps getting stronger by an unknown amount, with it increasing exponentially when experiencing high emotion. It's only when paired with the other thing that you can say it's a oneshot every day

 

[Myguy]

The sheer amount of copium this man is taking makes me feel light-headed.

First stage:denial

 

[Majinere566]

Look how defensive he gets.

Against author intent or not, the photon idea is valid and you have no way of proving the beam destroyed anything other than photons. It's like throwing a giant door toward stars and the door then vanishes 1ly away and now you won't see these stars for 1 year anymore.

I made the calc to prove that feat is actually >galaxy and I still see validity in this claim.

 

[Apeironaxim]

has this man read any other fiction with big feats. Character's almost never consistently do the AoE damage with every hit. Even if they literally punched a city away minutes before, their hits now will not reach those levels of AoE, but still be just as powerful

 

[Pepsiman25th]

Fun fact, copium actually exist

 

[Phoenks]

I have added references to my sandbox. Can someone tell me if I did this correctly?

references seem fine, but i have problems with 2 things

Accelerated Development: Grows exponentially in power when faced with opponents comparable to him

It's not when someone is comparable to him, his AD grows exponentially when feeling intense emotion, it even says so in the imgur.

BFR: Resisted being transported by Garou's hyperspace gate

No, he did not. He kicked it away before it could do anything

That's not what happened. He saw the sun and realized the Earth was in that direction since he was next to Jupiter. He then used his vision to view the Earth from Jupiter, punched Saitama which produced a massive explosion next to Jupiter which we can see, the explosion had a ring for some reason, then he went through a portal to Earth.

I can tell, being in the OPM community for so long.

So when Saitama reaches Low 2-C he’ll beat Goku in their Versus Thread, good to know

1. Fighting comparable opponents is what sets off that emotion.

2. Before it could do anything? How does that make sense? They're shown to instantly activate.

Yes, but the thing is, Saitama was feeling intense emotions ever since Genos died. His growth only happened when Garou began to match his full power in specific. Which would heavily suggest that it's related to that fact.

I think it's good

1. No, Saitama even says he doesn't feel excited when fighting Garou, due to Genos's death. In any other circumstance, yes he would feel intense emotions from someone fighting him equally. But that's a consequence of it being tied to intense emotions, not the only activation requirement

2. No, it is not. It happens very fast, but it's not instant. Also if Saitama resisted it, there'd be no reason to kick it away, he would have just stood there as it did nothing. It's clearly meant to just be him kicking it away before anything happens.

Can even see that Saitama and Garou's fists move a little closer before they've been teleported. It's not resistance, he clearly just kicked it away

Ignoring the fact he was fighting at full power before Chapter 168 though.

Good, but for BFR reference, I don't think Garou tried sending Saitama back to Earth when BFRing him. He himself wasn't sure where Earth was at the time nor how to get back, and it would counteract his goals anyways. He cheered in delight when returning to Earth because he believed Saitama was back at Jupiter.

Also I think Saitama's Flight should be listed as Limited Flight. He can't use it all the time and it's probably only effective in space, where there's no air or gravity to slow him down.

 

[Winzy]

At least Genos is an adult.

Tareo is ten.


An unquantifiable degree of 4-D that only means he is able to touch those (spatial) structures, yeah.

Although some people were saying the translation is wrong and that hyperspace should have been subspace or whatever.

Genos is 19

 

[RinneItachi]

Genos is 19

Yes, an adult in almost any country.

1. I dont understand what you're saying here. Honestly, I feel that maybe the emotions thing needs to be looked at because didn't it say he felt nothing? It makes it out like it is just due to fighting someone equal to him.

2. Sure, I'll remove it then.

 

[Winzy]

Oh him. Heard DC, including top tiers like him, will be downgraded to 1-C, baseline 1-A at absolute best.

Shit downgrade

 

[RinneItachi]

Regardless of it being an emotional response, it doesn't change that Saitama only began growing when he was matched by Garou, which is clearly the main factor in his sudden growth. There is no reason at all why it would only begin to happen then.

For the first point, I don’t really recall any past instances of him fighting someone equal to him and intense emotions

 

[RinneItachi]

For the first point, I don’t really recall any past instances of him fighting someone equal to him outside of Boros tbh

Boros? Equal to him?



Boros was fodder to Saitama. That's become especially evident as of late.
