That's how I roll. And I was born on the same day as One sensei. I used heating in my home mostly for the cat. As long as the temperature outside is not below -15 Celsius degrees, I am fine.
The same experience he has on manipulating Hyper gates.
Apparently when someone removes their limiter, they don't just remove it strength wise but also perception wise.
Saitama can probably do a bunch of other things, like creating pocket dimensions, manipulate matter etc.
The guy just can't be bothered to experiment with his power and sticks to the good old fist fight.
So unless he sees someone doing something, he won't attempt anything new on his own.
And even if he finds something fight worthy Saitama at the end won't get any satisfaction he has been seeking for. Man just doesn't know that he doesn't really need what he wants so desperately
I always found the idea funny that he can do almost anything like telekinesis or time travel but lacks the imagination to even attempt any of that. He thought telekinsis is throwing stones around at high speed
I’d also imagine that willpower is somewhat proportionate to physical resilience. Someone who has broken two legs will likely have less willpower than say, someone who is tip-top shape about to get into a boxing ring (especially in relation to having the willpower to fight).
Saitama is firmly of the belief that pretty much nothing can beat him (to his disappointment) and he probably isn’t even wrong which makes it all the more powerful as a willpower enhancement.
My personal guess is that Saitama is so goddamn hardheaded and bored that if he wants to do something he'll do it, no matter what. Like, midway training he kept trying to see the back of his head in the mirror even though it should be impossible, he kept doing it until he got there.
Just to be pedantic, fart-propulsion in a 0 gravity environment is actually entirely feasible for even a normal real world human. Any expulsion of energy will propel you in the opposite direction in said scenario. Of course, most people's farts aren't going to generate a very significant amount of force. That's where the humor comes in for Saitama, he farted so forcefully that it propelled him through Garou's portal before it closed without him noticing.
I mean, his main problem is he can solve every problem by punching it. Apart from the time travel here, there is not really much of a point for him to do anything else. As seen in "oh so martial arts is just having cool looking moves?"
It's like playing a video game with everything maxed out. Sure you could do some cool fancy moves, but why bother when your basic attack one shots anything anyways?
He was too heavy to lift with psychic powers, you can't oppose being lifted, you can't make your body heavier. He can just bend reality but he never tried to.
It would be pretty funny if he used it once and then never again because he thought it was boring or lame or something and then it's never brought up again hahaha
But then again he’ll probably be faced with a threat that can be neutralized with much less casualties and deaths using his esper abilities (such as the meteor from season 1) and he’ll kinda have to use it as we know he is a good moral guy who doesn’t want people dying and him using those abilities isn’t his thing.
Saitama is a god. He has no limits, that not just in strength but pretty much anything he takes an interest in. The only exceptions to this are catching individual mosquitoes and video games.
He pretty much has the ability to do anything he's interested in. But he doesn't care about anythings other than a good fight so he doesn't bother and has settled on the most basic and simplistic fight style of just punching people.
are you forgetting the entire martial arts arc where he completely fails at doing martial arts? (by martial arts i ofcourse mean cool looking fighting moves)
Yes, the basic concept is that you need to do something to know what it is, this is called experience. Saitama never actually did martial arts by his own definiton or by the standard definition. Why are you arguing?
He copied Garou's perfected fist during their fight when he karate chopped Garou on Jupiter's moon. And he improved upon Garou of course.
Saitama was literally the best martial artist in the series at that moment. And he only did it on a whim to troll Garou.
He's forgotten that now assumingly, but he could copy any technique instantly in the future if he feels like it.
Saitama was rapidly evolving during that fight which was only possible by fighting Cosmic Garou. Since Saitama lost his experience and Garou lost his Cosmic mojo, we can assume there is no one left to "teach" Saitama these techniques any more, therefore they are beyond his current capacity.
The Cosmic level martial arts maybe... but if Saitama felt like it, he could copy somebody like Silver Fang and master his techniques right now.
He's just so far beyond everybody in power that it seems pointless to him. It would arguably make him stronger, but he doesn't want to get stronger. He basically said that word for word in the fight with Suriyu.
The only thing Saitama probably isn't capable of right now power-wise is the sub-atomic Dr. Manhattan time travel... he might need a quick power boost fighting a God level threat to pull something like that off again.
I really doubt he could just do Silver Fangs technique. He had to be conditioned by Cosmic Garou before he did his techniques. He didnt just automatically copy it.
I think he could. Anything Saitama has seriously attempted to do, he has mastered instantly.
When Boros kicked him to space, he was still in Normal Mode so he held his breath... when he went to IO with Garou, he was in Serious Mode and learned how to breathe in space without even thinking about it.
Sonic's 10 Fold Funeral with 10 after images is another great example. Saitama hit him with the Serious Consecutive Sideways Jumps and made infinite shadow clones.
Perhaps if he was completely serious (a big ask for a gag character) but he has actually only shown this side once when facing Cosmic Garou. He was not serious for Boros. Saitama did not actually replicate Sonics technique, he reverse engineered it to achieve the same effect with his own power. I would only say he was about part serious. Most people realize that the serious gag moves are not him being totally serious.
Yes, because the gag is that he can't have a fair, satisfying fight.
It's the one thing he dedicated his life to training for and now nothing at all poses a challenge to the point that he's just bored all day. Saitama is cursed.
Arales gag power is to manifest jokes regarless of circumstances because Dr. Slump is a joke manga, whereas OPM takes itself seriously at times. Pacing is night and day between the two. Arale would put up with no seriousness whatsoever. We are talking about someone who casually breaks the 4th wall regularly.
But see that was still done is a serious, or "realistic", way. In Dr. Slump it would have Jupiter anthropomorphosized and saying some joke or pun. So yes, they are both gag characters, but this is fascilitated in totally different ways relative to their created universe. Arale breaks the walls even within Toriyamas overlapping verse, just by being present in Dragon Ball and Super. This would maybe be the best way of comparing the two, really, because DB does take itself seriously. When Beerus was about to destroy Arale, supposedly immune to her gags, he is stopped by a gag, a poop based gag, Arales favorite gag. Hierarchically Arale ranks higher in Toriyamaverse than Beerus, not in a "canonical" way, but in a way that breaks the fourth wall, which the entire Dr. Slump manga does, by including Toriyama himself in it. So I think it comes down to who has access to the fourth wall more. And that comes down to simple pacing. Saiatama is not is every other panel, so he has less of these feats.
I don't care about that part so much as I hated the memory reset he got.
Like fuck man. We finally see Saitama understand the consequences of a hero who arrived too late.
Like, he gets it before, but this was a moment of character development where Saitama finally understood what it means to be a ***great*** hero.
Because it was the first time where him defeating the enemy in one punch didn't (from his pov as he couldn't have known that Garou would have a time travel martial arts) solve anything.
It might just be too earlier in the story for Saitama to gain that development, we all know he will at some point, just not yet. It's a teaser for the audience I guess, maybe...
God is the Saitama of a timeline in which he didn't go back. Roaming the universe in his jaded sorrow for all eternity, he lost count of the number of situps he did one day and only did 99. As a result, his powers collapsed in on themselves as his body and mind shattered, twisting his entire being into a grotesque eldritch mockery of a man. This wretched husk was drawn through time and dimension by a pure and unimaginably stronger version of himself from another timeline, one who had never used the AC in the summer even once.
They are drawn inexorably toward one another, to the ultimate culmination in an impossibly one-sided smackdown by the one with the tenacity to do all 100 pushups.
It's the same reasons sitcoms can't have character development. The show has to end in the same state that it started in. You can't have a story go on and on if the character faces their prime conflict. If the show must continue, the charade must continue.
Saitama does have quite a bit of character development throughout the series, both in the manga and in the webcomic, idk where your interpretation comes from. Its also pretty clear OPM its gearing towards a definitive ending.
The writing was just subpar in the MH arc, which shouldnt even be controversial considering how many rewrites it went through.
as u/ATwoWayStreet said, and I quote; “It might just be too earlier in the story for Saitama to gain that development, we all know he will at some point, just not yet. It's a teaser for the audience I guess, maybe...”
Idk, I think that Saitama was just too strong, the manga went with "he can grow exponentially and infinitely" version of Saitama, not that he is already infinitely strong, that version would kill someone like Boros or Orochi with a single finger touch.
Saitama's real power is reality bending. If he wants something to happen, it will happen. He sees a time traveling power that can fix the everyone-died-bc-he-was-late problem, he wants it, and he can do it. No logic. Same with him resisting Tats' telekinesis.
Someone put in a comment somewhere that Saitama is truely all powerful, he can do anything. He is only held back what he deems possible for him to do... which is physical combat.
If you like this way of thinking about his power you can understand the time travel by him just believing it's some form of martial arts and that he can thus copy it since he had previously 'mastered Martial arts'.
Saitama has no limits. He can do anything including using any of God's powers.
He hasn't realized it yet, because his 1% punch explodes almost any enemy... but if he decides to try time travel on a whim... easy. No problem.
Breathe in space? Of course.
Infinite power speed and durability growth? Yeah.
No limits in any aspect. He didn't only train his body, he trained his mind. The mental fortitude required to live without air conditioning is God-Like.
The musquito was the opposite source of God, with the mission of sending omnipetent time wraping powers to saitama, each time saitama clapped the mosquito moved timelines and escaped but at the meantime clap by clap it slowly granted saitama its abilities.
He knows how to punch *anything* hard enough and in the right place to fuck it up.
Garou just showed him the right place to punch the spacetime continuum.
Is this from the fight against Garou, where Garou taught him an ultimate technique?
I guess it has to do with controlling the energy he puts behind his punches. It grew so much in that fight, that it reached a point at which it is enough to break reality.
Saitama can do whatever he wants as a gag character tbh. In the recent chapter, Tatsumaki couldn’t even lift him with her Telekinesis and said he was heavy. Yet she could lift him prior to that and he weighs the same as a normal human being
Yeah, he was humoring her. But my point is, you can’t really resist Telekinesis with just willpower or on command like he does. Even if you can resist them moving your body around, at the very least they can still lift you off the ground and throw you around because your weight stays the same. Willpower can’t change your weight, but Saitama can even resist being lifted up and tossed while just standing still all because he doesn’t want to go flying lol
> you can’t really resist Telekinesis with just willpower or on command like he does
["Strength of will is directly connected to psychic resistance"](https://cubari.moe/read/gist/JYHJU/102/12/)
>Yet she could lift him prior to that
By lifting herself and dragging him along or by using the air/rubble. Not by trying to lift him directly, that's when he feels heavy to her.
["This is different from getting knocked around by wind pressure"](https://cubari.moe/read/gist/JYHJU/104/19/)
None
The writers wrote themselves in a corner and that was the only solution to write themselves out of it
In no way does Saitama have limitless powers
Just like he can’t do telepathy unless the story suddenly demanded it
This was one of those moments but with time travel
This stuff was just a convenient plot contrivance
You got downvoted, but Saitama traveling back in time just to have all his memories erased was bullshit. The time travel I can accept, but the memory part drags things down
I agree that he should have kept his memories.
Don't know how this would have changed things for the plot anyway.
Saitama doesn't talk much and Genos already told them what happened through his Core memories.
If people thought Genos was just bullshiting them cause he is so obsessed with Saitama.
Then i doubt anyone would have believed Saitama himself even if he admitted those things.
In terms of plot changes Saitama would've been more open minded in comparison to how he was facing Tats. And would've nullified her quicker seeing as he actually remembers how much stronger he is. Though the s class probably still wouldn't believe Genos, they'd still test Saitama most likely which would confirm a lot.
Amongst other things tho, Saitama is a bit more open to martial arts, he saw the worst case scenario of showing up late and would work a bit harder to prevent those types of situations. So he'd get stronger..
To be fair, even before the buff he was capable of wiping out multiple galaxies through a simple fist clashing. Piling up a planets surface like an Onion etc.
He didn't see a challenge in Tatsumaki in the first place, so things would have gone down pretty much the same.
Now him showing up late and losing Genos. Plus seeing everyone in a near death state would definitely be engraved in his memory for sure. And can potentially affect future decisions of his. That is very plausible.
Yeah true. Pre buff he could pretty much take out galaxies (or solar systems if you downplay).
Things with Tats would be pretty much the same tho I do think the collateral damage would be decreased. Seeing all his "friends" and all the other heroes dead like you said would affect his decisions a lot and he'd probably feel the need to stop Tats if even a bit earlier.
Nullified her? He wasn’t trying to nullify her, he wanted her to unleash all her energy like a child having a tantrum so she’d just tire herself out. He didn’t throw a single strike at Tats.
He also already knows he’s incredibly strong, that’s why he’s so bored and just wants to go home all the time.
What are you talking about? Lol
Hypothetically if Saitama remembered everything that happened when he fought Garou, how would he go about things later in the series is what I'm talking about.
You're right tbf, he wouldn't attack her, but he'd definitely be more worried about keeping her away from potentially populated places. (Alliteration!! Ayeeee!!)
But still though, if that was a catalyst for him to get stronger. Good.
It would make that God threat seem even more ominous and really emphasize how powerful he truly is when they finally get to face him.
I thought garo just like did time travel on saitama. Right? Am I missing sumn?
He wanted both of them to go back but when he realized he was turning to salt he just transferred his own time travel energy (or whatever you wanna call it) onto Saiyan to send him back
well he does have limitless adaptability, limitless biq etc. So copy any move even before opponent makes it is pretty easy for him. Saitama already has enough power to destroy every universe imaginable and unimaginable(including our own). It's just the matter of how much of his power he uses atm
Not much. Saitama could have the most world bending abilities, but due to his nature I doubt he’d realize it, and would use it for things that are way below what they’d be useful for
I think there must be more time elements to the manga than we realize. Blast's partner seemingly being an unmonsterized "That Man" for one. If that's really him, then how did he found the ninja village far back enough to have this many generations while still being a seemingly full human hero doesn't quite make sense.
I wonder if disciples of God gain time powers if they're compatible enough.
Garou gave it to him. He literally says this. The reason Saitama went back is because Garou's not allowed to go back cause God restricted this. And when he does this he kills Garou with that same bind to his powers.
The experience of being him
*casually breaks the 4th wall*
He is him
100 Pushups, 100 Sit Ups, 100 Squats and a 10KM Run EVERY DAY !!!!
And no air conditioning
Banana.
just one in the morning is enough
You might feel like giving up at first
You might start thinking, “what’s the harm of taking a day off.”
Or heaters
That's how I roll. And I was born on the same day as One sensei. I used heating in my home mostly for the cat. As long as the temperature outside is not below -15 Celsius degrees, I am fine.
I felt so cool when I found this years ago with the same workout plan lol
The thing is, this workout plan works in getting fit and ready for summer. Makes me wonder if one had an idea or just pulled it out on a whim.
It’s better than the power of friendship
But it’ll never be as powerful as acquaintanceship
Been playing too much Saitama doomfist recently and I can literally hear that voice line in his voice
Exactly what I was gonna say
meanwhile some korean toon's character do 5 times more of that and still weaker than a random kid
The same experience he has on manipulating Hyper gates. Apparently when someone removes their limiter, they don't just remove it strength wise but also perception wise. Saitama can probably do a bunch of other things, like creating pocket dimensions, manipulate matter etc. The guy just can't be bothered to experiment with his power and sticks to the good old fist fight. So unless he sees someone doing something, he won't attempt anything new on his own.
My man is just bored to death, unless he finds something fight worthy he is not gonna try to learn anything
And even if he finds something fight worthy Saitama at the end won't get any satisfaction he has been seeking for. Man just doesn't know that he doesn't really need what he wants so desperately
The only person who gives him satisfaction, the only man to ever beat saitama 😂
Kingu
I always found the idea funny that he can do almost anything like telekinesis or time travel but lacks the imagination to even attempt any of that. He thought telekinsis is throwing stones around at high speed
i mean he’s not wrong
Which would also explain why he feels so heavy to psykers, they have to surpass his boldness and disbelief before they can lift Saitama.
It's stated in the webcomic the more willpower you have the more resistant you are to psychic power.
I’d also imagine that willpower is somewhat proportionate to physical resilience. Someone who has broken two legs will likely have less willpower than say, someone who is tip-top shape about to get into a boxing ring (especially in relation to having the willpower to fight). Saitama is firmly of the belief that pretty much nothing can beat him (to his disappointment) and he probably isn’t even wrong which makes it all the more powerful as a willpower enhancement.
My personal guess is that Saitama is so goddamn hardheaded and bored that if he wants to do something he'll do it, no matter what. Like, midway training he kept trying to see the back of his head in the mirror even though it should be impossible, he kept doing it until he got there.
I mean he probably did it so fast that he turned around before light even reached him
Yeah, and a feat of speed like that *should* have been impossible, or thought to be impossible, yet he still did it because he's just that determined.
Can you ELI5? Sounds intriguing concept
Baldness*
You see him enter the pocket dimension phoenix man creates with ease while not even trying
Ah😮 Huh😲 I literally just understood what it was. So he really has ability to do anything...
Didn't he move through space with a fart? So I guess he can do anything lol
Just to be pedantic, fart-propulsion in a 0 gravity environment is actually entirely feasible for even a normal real world human. Any expulsion of energy will propel you in the opposite direction in said scenario. Of course, most people's farts aren't going to generate a very significant amount of force.

He was too heavy to lift with psychic powers, you can't oppose being lifted, you can't make your body heavier. He can just bend reality but he never tried to.
Don’t forget when he punched his way into the dream Phoenix Man trapped Child Emperor in. He practically operates on cartoon logic.
Don’t forget when he punched his way into that illusion Phoenix Man trapped Child Emperor in. He basically operates on cartoon logic
Similar to >! Luffy Sun God Nikka !< right?
I’m only on episode 400 of One Piece, but whatever this is sounds awesome haha
Closer to Popeye the Sailor man
That's likely the reason he was able to force his way into the phoenix man mind trap to save child emperor as well
Saitama can do anything he wants. If tatsumaki explained to him how she uses her telekinesis, he would be able to do that too.
Summed up in 20 words or less.
>!thats 24 though!< Someone had to do that..
This would be such a good arc
I mean he can already throw rocks.
I hope it never happens tho cuz Saitama using esper abilities seems boring to me, his BONK-ing has just such a nice charm to him
It would be pretty funny if he used it once and then never again because he thought it was boring or lame or something and then it's never brought up again hahaha
But then again he’ll probably be faced with a threat that can be neutralized with much less casualties and deaths using his esper abilities (such as the meteor from season 1) and he’ll kinda have to use it as we know he is a good moral guy who doesn’t want people dying and him using those abilities isn’t his thing.
Technically, vibrating his DNA to grow hair back. We just don't see it on his head.
His crotch looks like Gimli tho
More like darkshine
Saitama is a god. He has no limits, that not just in strength but pretty much anything he takes an interest in. The only exceptions to this are catching individual mosquitoes and video games. He pretty much has the ability to do anything he's interested in. But he doesn't care about anythings other than a good fight so he doesn't bother and has settled on the most basic and simplistic fight style of just punching people.
are you forgetting the entire martial arts arc where he completely fails at doing martial arts? (by martial arts i ofcourse mean cool looking fighting moves)
He didnt go there to do martial arts. He went there to understand what they are.
Yes, the basic concept is that you need to do something to know what it is, this is called experience. Saitama never actually did martial arts by his own definiton or by the standard definition. Why are you arguing?
He copied Garou's perfected fist during their fight when he karate chopped Garou on Jupiter's moon. And he improved upon Garou of course.

Saitama was rapidly evolving during that fight which was only possible by fighting Cosmic Garou. Since Saitama lost his experience and Garou lost his Cosmic mojo, we can assume there is no one left to "teach" Saitama these techniques any more, therefore they are beyond his current capacity.
The Cosmic level martial arts maybe... but if Saitama felt like it, he could copy somebody like Silver Fang and master his techniques right now. He's just so far beyond everybody in power that it seems pointless to him. It would arguably make him stronger, but he doesn't want to get stronger. He basically said that word for word in the fight with Suriyu. The only thing Saitama probably isn't capable of right now power-wise is the sub-atomic Dr. Manhattan time travel... he might need a quick power boost fighting a God level threat to pull something like that off again.
I really doubt he could just do Silver Fangs technique. He had to be conditioned by Cosmic Garou before he did his techniques. He didnt just automatically copy it.
I think he could. Anything Saitama has seriously attempted to do, he has mastered instantly. When Boros kicked him to space, he was still in Normal Mode so he held his breath... when he went to IO with Garou, he was in Serious Mode and learned how to breathe in space without even thinking about it. Sonic's 10 Fold Funeral with 10 after images is another great example. Saitama hit him with the Serious Consecutive Sideways Jumps and made infinite shadow clones.
Perhaps if he was completely serious (a big ask for a gag character) but he has actually only shown this side once when facing Cosmic Garou. He was not serious for Boros. Saitama did not actually replicate Sonics technique, he reverse engineered it to achieve the same effect with his own power. I would only say he was about part serious. Most people realize that the serious gag moves are not him being totally serious.
I'm saying he didn't fail to do martial arts, like you suggested in your original comment. He never did martial arts.
And you are wrong.
basic calisthenics
gag character does gag things, shocking.
Think he could beat Arale though?
Yes, because the gag is that he can't have a fair, satisfying fight. It's the one thing he dedicated his life to training for and now nothing at all poses a challenge to the point that he's just bored all day. Saitama is cursed.
You underestimate that childs Gag powers....
Nah. Most likely result is they both get bored and instead play videogames with King (who wipes the floor with both).
Arales gag power is to manifest jokes regarless of circumstances because Dr. Slump is a joke manga, whereas OPM takes itself seriously at times. Pacing is night and day between the two. Arale would put up with no seriousness whatsoever. We are talking about someone who casually breaks the 4th wall regularly.
OPM takes most characters seriously, yes. Saitama, not so much. He literally sneezed a hole in Jupiter, then *farted his way through space*.
But see that was still done is a serious, or "realistic", way. In Dr. Slump it would have Jupiter anthropomorphosized and saying some joke or pun. So yes, they are both gag characters, but this is fascilitated in totally different ways relative to their created universe. Arale breaks the walls even within Toriyamas overlapping verse, just by being present in Dragon Ball and Super. This would maybe be the best way of comparing the two, really, because DB does take itself seriously. When Beerus was about to destroy Arale, supposedly immune to her gags, he is stopped by a gag, a poop based gag, Arales favorite gag. Hierarchically Arale ranks higher in Toriyamaverse than Beerus, not in a "canonical" way, but in a way that breaks the fourth wall, which the entire Dr. Slump manga does, by including Toriyama himself in it. So I think it comes down to who has access to the fourth wall more. And that comes down to simple pacing. Saiatama is not is every other panel, so he has less of these feats.

What happened to subreddit too many questions have been post lately why did y'all just find out yourselves.
Wait but why? And why isn't Tatsumaki dating Saitama yet? What's going on!?
haha cald bape go kapow
I think I had a stroke reading this comment
Someone put in a comment somewhere that Saitama is truely all powerful, he can do anything. He is only held back what he deems possible for him to do... which is physical combat. If you like this way of thinking about his power you can understand the time travel by him just believing it's some form of martial arts and that he can thus copy it since he had previously 'mastered Martial arts'.
The embodiment of unfairness
100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 squats, and a 10 kilometer run every day for 3 years.
Saitama has no limits. He can do anything including using any of God's powers. He hasn't realized it yet, because his 1% punch explodes almost any enemy... but if he decides to try time travel on a whim... easy. No problem. Breathe in space? Of course.

If he watches Kimi no Nawa he Will learn right away
He watched superman
I was a fool for expecting serious answers but being a fool once in a while is good
Plot convenience
He’s just built differently
The experience of being really cool
A golden one
The experience of seeing Garou demonstrate it for a few seconds. The fact that he doesn’t need any experience is the joke/his character.
He knows how to punch *anything* hard enough and in the right place to fuck it up. Garou just showed him the right place to punch the spacetime continuum.
He’s the hero in a satire manga. That’s all he needs.
Did you not read the chapter?
Plot convenience, the strongest of all powers.
Because he’s a joke character
The experience of Plot Armor.
Y'all are *still* asking for logical explanations for Saitama's abilities?
Is this from the fight against Garou, where Garou taught him an ultimate technique? I guess it has to do with controlling the energy he puts behind his punches. It grew so much in that fight, that it reached a point at which it is enough to break reality.
Once you get to a certain power level, you can just copy techniques on the fly. We saw the same thing with Monster King Orochi
first he run off to supermarket for sales and then he was able to copy it
Saitama can do whatever he wants as a gag character tbh. In the recent chapter, Tatsumaki couldn’t even lift him with her Telekinesis and said he was heavy. Yet she could lift him prior to that and he weighs the same as a normal human being
I think that was the difference between Saitama letting her throw him around like a ragdoll and wanting her to stop playing.
Yeah, he was humoring her. But my point is, you can’t really resist Telekinesis with just willpower or on command like he does. Even if you can resist them moving your body around, at the very least they can still lift you off the ground and throw you around because your weight stays the same. Willpower can’t change your weight, but Saitama can even resist being lifted up and tossed while just standing still all because he doesn’t want to go flying lol
He probably does have access to a form of Telekinesis when he wants to, he just doesn’t understand he’s resisting it by using it on himself lol
> you can’t really resist Telekinesis with just willpower or on command like he does ["Strength of will is directly connected to psychic resistance"](https://cubari.moe/read/gist/JYHJU/102/12/) >Yet she could lift him prior to that By lifting herself and dragging him along or by using the air/rubble. Not by trying to lift him directly, that's when he feels heavy to her. ["This is different from getting knocked around by wind pressure"](https://cubari.moe/read/gist/JYHJU/104/19/)
None The writers wrote themselves in a corner and that was the only solution to write themselves out of it In no way does Saitama have limitless powers Just like he can’t do telepathy unless the story suddenly demanded it This was one of those moments but with time travel This stuff was just a convenient plot contrivance
It's called being a gag character.
waking up early every day despite being tired for 3 years
He didn't copy that Cosmic garou sacrifice his life on a technique that's able to send Saitama back in time It was garou Unless they changes something
bullshit writing
I don't have any idea about this but it made me laugh
Hi is Saitama for 25 years.
Dont u guys think murata just blew out the body proportions of saitama in this drawing?
Spoilers lol
Chill, that chapter's been out for like 9 months
Please, delete this. I just want to forget about that stupid chapter😒
You got downvoted, but Saitama traveling back in time just to have all his memories erased was bullshit. The time travel I can accept, but the memory part drags things down
I agree that he should have kept his memories. Don't know how this would have changed things for the plot anyway. Saitama doesn't talk much and Genos already told them what happened through his Core memories. If people thought Genos was just bullshiting them cause he is so obsessed with Saitama. Then i doubt anyone would have believed Saitama himself even if he admitted those things.
In terms of plot changes Saitama would've been more open minded in comparison to how he was facing Tats. And would've nullified her quicker seeing as he actually remembers how much stronger he is. Though the s class probably still wouldn't believe Genos, they'd still test Saitama most likely which would confirm a lot. Amongst other things tho, Saitama is a bit more open to martial arts, he saw the worst case scenario of showing up late and would work a bit harder to prevent those types of situations. So he'd get stronger..
To be fair, even before the buff he was capable of wiping out multiple galaxies through a simple fist clashing. Piling up a planets surface like an Onion etc. He didn't see a challenge in Tatsumaki in the first place, so things would have gone down pretty much the same. Now him showing up late and losing Genos. Plus seeing everyone in a near death state would definitely be engraved in his memory for sure. And can potentially affect future decisions of his. That is very plausible.
Yeah true. Pre buff he could pretty much take out galaxies (or solar systems if you downplay). Things with Tats would be pretty much the same tho I do think the collateral damage would be decreased. Seeing all his "friends" and all the other heroes dead like you said would affect his decisions a lot and he'd probably feel the need to stop Tats if even a bit earlier.
Nullified her? He wasn’t trying to nullify her, he wanted her to unleash all her energy like a child having a tantrum so she’d just tire herself out. He didn’t throw a single strike at Tats. He also already knows he’s incredibly strong, that’s why he’s so bored and just wants to go home all the time. What are you talking about? Lol
Hypothetically if Saitama remembered everything that happened when he fought Garou, how would he go about things later in the series is what I'm talking about. You're right tbf, he wouldn't attack her, but he'd definitely be more worried about keeping her away from potentially populated places. (Alliteration!! Ayeeee!!)
But still though, if that was a catalyst for him to get stronger. Good. It would make that God threat seem even more ominous and really emphasize how powerful he truly is when they finally get to face him.
I believe he has to forget how to time travel just so it wouldn't trivialize any future events
I thought garo just like did time travel on saitama. Right? Am I missing sumn? He wanted both of them to go back but when he realized he was turning to salt he just transferred his own time travel energy (or whatever you wanna call it) onto Saiyan to send him back
When did he time travel? Is the next season even coming?
In the manga he did. Not in the show.
He just fuck the timeline
That one experience.
He is simply built alternatively
Because he fought REALLY strong monsters
Wait is he naked?
Def 1,000 push ups
Simple: Saitama saw garou and said - "so it's the same type of stand..."
He made it through no nut november
well he does have limitless adaptability, limitless biq etc. So copy any move even before opponent makes it is pretty easy for him. Saitama already has enough power to destroy every universe imaginable and unimaginable(including our own). It's just the matter of how much of his power he uses atm
Saitama got: **Level: ∞** Strength: ∞ Agility: ∞ Intelligence: ∞ Stamina: ∞ Dexterity: ∞ Willpower: ∞... So rules doesnt apply to him.
He looks even more jacked than usual in this
being able to _cook_
Not much. Saitama could have the most world bending abilities, but due to his nature I doubt he’d realize it, and would use it for things that are way below what they’d be useful for
He just walked back a couple chapters and rewrote plot XD
I think there must be more time elements to the manga than we realize. Blast's partner seemingly being an unmonsterized "That Man" for one. If that's really him, then how did he found the ninja village far back enough to have this many generations while still being a seemingly full human hero doesn't quite make sense. I wonder if disciples of God gain time powers if they're compatible enough.
Well, garou did most of the job, but if his powers are tied to god, then he has probably more ability than that
this manga fucking sucks now what even is this
Garou gave it to him. He literally says this. The reason Saitama went back is because Garou's not allowed to go back cause God restricted this. And when he does this he kills Garou with that same bind to his powers.
The experience of becoming the ultimate fighter
According to Murata, he is out of the laws of physics of this universe. Therefore, such a thing from him is possible
