That would make Saitama the top dog of OPM's high 6-A hierarchy and push him into the top 3 of the verse. That kinda reminds me of L from Death Note as he holds the titles of the top 3 detectives alone.

He was able to resist tats while still having hair, idk about all other characters but he’s already comfortably top 10 with just that tats interaction.

In the Summer Festival Audiobook we get the following interaction with in-training Saitama and Tatsumaki.
Tatsumaki: Sorry about this, but I’m not going to let you hurt me, so just stay a nice ghost while I just slowly creep by you and…
uses her psychic powers
Tatsumaki: Wait, what? WHAT? How come it’s still moving towards me? Why doesn’t my psychic power affect it?
spooky noises
Tatsumaki: No…no way…are you a real ghost? What’s the meaning of this?
Saitama: What’s this feeling? It’s as if my clothes are pulling itself tightly around me. Ow! My hair got stuck in it. Ouch! If it keeps on pulling like this my hair roots will—! Just wait a sec. Guess I need to just stand horizontally like this?
Tatsumaki: What happened? Huh? It’s coming towards me! What the hell is that? No I’m leaving! I’m leaving this place!

Like Magmag said, he resisted Tatsumaki's powers. Somewhat effortlessly, in fact. Of course, it's hard to say how much Tatsumaki was using. There's little reason to think she went all out. But she was definitely serious and kind of scared of him, but part of that is because she thought he was a ghost and that her powers just didn't work at all. Which is probably a Mob Psycho reference, because one of the main parts of esper powers in that series is the ability to exercise spirits.
Based on Tatsumaki's reaction to what happened, and Fubuki even saying the being in question would need to be threat level Dragon or above, we can guess it still makes Mid-Training Saitama a top tier, likely even top 10.

You could just read the audiobook, it got linked, but I'll go look for it.

Fubuki: When I saw my sister’s face at that moment, looking very grim and stern, I knew to not go against her. I could tell she was not lying. If there was a ghost or a being that would surpass even her psychic abilities, then it would definitely be a Dragon Level threat or more. Z City, a place full of rumors of strange and powerful monsters…it wouldn’t be a stretch to say something like that could exist there. That’s what I thought. Yes, that is my summer festival memory with my sister.

Hard to say if they're actually canon or not to the main series, but they ARE written by ONE himself. So any powerscaling in them can be considered accurate, regardless of their canonicity. Really, it's not that different from an author statement, imo.

From the sounds of it, Saitama resisted a significant portion of her power. Assuming everything else is clear could do a "at least low 7-B, likely High 6-A"?
"Tatsumaki: Do you REALLY think that something can surpass MY psychic powers?
Fubuki: Ah!
Tatsumaki: Hmph!

Saitama could easily resist Tatsumaki's psychic powers. and possibly faster than Boros He was not inferior to Boros at all.
Oh. I forgot that Boros has upgraded the CSRC to 11.66 Exatons of TNT

At least [whatever tier], likely High 6-A should work if it’s not directly stated that he surpassed her full power.

Do you recall the logic that was used to reject it? I personally think it's weird that we only have record of in-training Saitama when he was a tiger-low demon, the audiobook doesn't seem to be contradicting any scaling by filling in the gap between God level and low demon
- 2,539

There is literally nothing that surpasses him besides Garou, his current version, and arguably CSRC. So unless you count beings like "God", Blast, etc. then I am pretty confident in saying top 3.

No, not really. I just remembered it being rejected the last time someone brought it up in this thread.

1. She was likely not using her full power. Otherwise, the ghost house would be gone.
2. Willpower = Resistance against espers
Both points were refuted IIRC

Hmm, if that was the logic I would say...
1. Tatsumaki specifically says "do you really think anything can surpass MY psychic powers", as if she used enough of her power against the ghost to come to the conclusion that the ghost was either A) a being powerful that it could actually surpass her psychic powers B) a being to whom the rules don't apply (a ghost). Clearly Saitama's strong enough to at least worry her in a way that nothing else has before.
2. We technically can't use the willpower logic anymore since it'd be webcomic cross-scaling, we don't get the same statement in the manga iirc, in fact Gyoro Gyoro couldn't even fathom how Garou could resist TK.

I think it should be removed. It is the equivalent of 15 year old Genos or Homeless Emperor before gaining his powers.

He literally has a feat that other characters get their scaling from. This might be hard to believe, but having a low tier doesn’t mean it was made because “Saitama weak lol”

we have crablante to thank for that
without him, we would probably have a 10-B saitamaThe tie is a chad

Do you mean him surviving against Piggy Bacon? We have cops surviving similar assaults. That's basically average human stuff in OPM.

I know that. But it still is average human stuff in OPM. Besides, why don't they upscale from this?

That would surely lead to a lot of funnee Saitama matches were he loses to funnee characters like Reigen, and potentially King.
- 15,604
- 16,303
And that matters because…? They’re still scaling off of Saitama, which means his first key has a reason to exist.
Also this is an indexing wiki, so if something has feats and is relevant enough, it can go on the profile.
You’d have to find the last C/B/A-Class revision to answer that, cause I don’t remember.
