Because tell me, how are you going to convince someone who isn’t familiar with OPM that this guy — who’s never done anything ridiculous like punching in a mental space and kicking portals around like rags— is invincible?
Webcomic Saitama just got that aura of being unbeatable cause nothing has ever challenged him whatsoever.
I get what you mean but I have my disagreements. I think this is sort of an interpretation bias that a ton of OPM fans have had, which is a fair one because the way Saitama was portrayed over the series between continuities has changed drastically in varying intervals. Saitama was never really a 100% clear cut character and people fill in certain blanks with their personal opinions about him as a character, and when something in the manga challenges their interpretation of him, they think the character changed, but in reality a lot of these aspects always existed in his character.
now im curious, what are these implications?
The Limiter in and of itself being a concept, the visual nuance of Glasses following in his footsteps, and the confirmation that Spiral Garou was starting to break his Limiter, all showed that Saitama's power is not intangible. It's grounded within the rules of this universe and can be attained by other people. This alone meant that Saitama wasn't special for his strength, he was special for his determination and commitment to his lifestyle and training which is what allowed him to break his Limiter in the first place. Saitama's workout, though comedic at first glance, was shifted into an actually understandable framing. Doing 100 pushups, situps, and squats, followed by a 10 kilometer run every single day would be extremely difficult (and also unhealthy), borderline impossible, for an average person, and he mixed that in with fighting Wolf-low Tiger level Monster's on a regular basis. What Saitama did was enough for him to reach the limit of his potential, and at that point, he needed to hit a breaking point, which was when he was driven to the brink of death by Personification of A Light Pull Cord, this finally broke his Limiter. Almost anyone else in-verse can feasibly do this if they're determined enough. That's the whole point of Saitama's speech to Glasses, that anyone can be like him.
WC saitama is weaker than Manga Saitama
Aura is a *****
Yeah you nailed it with these two replies, people in general just proyect a lot of stuff into this series that wasn't really there to begin with and/or refuse to get acostumed to the obvious changes and developments ONE has introduced over time. It manifests itself in a ton of misconceptions about what OPM is about and very much what spawned the hordes of mongrels that fully believe Murata is writing the manga.
I think Rinneitachi's replies got you covered about this but really the main misunderstanding here is seeing OPM as anything other than an earnest battle manga. That's what it is, that's why it excels. It would have been one note and forgotten about if it was just a parody where the funny bald man kills things in one punch.

eh not really , i've known stuff about the production ,now whether they are true or not we'll see next episode but if they are the season quality will turn up a lot.
I'm not talking about powerscaling, or how many high level enemies are shown. I'm talking about the extra stuff added into the manga (The whole monster association arc, Cosmic Garou, Saitama fightning in Jupter, basically 80% of Garou's arc, Blast showing out of no where which made him lose the sense of mystery completly, etc). Half of that are things that I really didn't liked personally. The monster association arc in specific was extended and had so many redraws that I don't know how many times I was lost in what was happening. Ninja arc? It was waste of time.
Well the "extra stuff" isn't meaningless either, it's things added to complement it's own narrative but of course you are free to like or dislike it. This criticism kinda runs dry when you realize that the WC is also banking on its followers being up to speed with the manga and its worldbuilding for some things to make sense though lol.
This chapter made me realize how shallow of a character webcomic Metal Bat is compared to the manga and somehow Ryumon is a fan of him.[第263話] ワンパンマン - ＯＮＥ/村田雄介 | となりのヤングジャンプ
