Persona Attributes

Appearance

Saitama is an ordinary-looking bald man with brown eyes, a thin but well-built physique, and is of average height and weight. He used to have a full head of short black hair but lost it due to the intensity of his hero training regimen. Saitama is usually deliberately drawn in a more simplistic style than the other characters, similar to the style of the original webcomic, with an elliptical head and simple facial features. When drawn in a more serious style, Saitama is revealed to have sharp facial features, fearsome eyes, and chiseled musculature. His posture changes as well, with a slack posture and sloping shoulders when lax, and a straightened posture and squared shoulders when serious.

Clothing

Saitama's hero costume consists of a yellow one-piece jumpsuit with a short zipper at the collar and a black belt with a round golden buckle at its center. He wears red gloves that go 3/4 up his forearms and red boots that nearly reach his knees. His costume is finished with a white cape, fastened to his shoulders with big, round buttons.

Saitama's character

Saitama's character on the upper surface can be best summed up as "average". At first glance, nothing about him strikes anyone he meets or causes them to note anything remarkable about him. Before becoming a hero, he was an average salaryman and did not seem interested in anything initially, though becoming a hero has always been a dream of Saitama's.

Before becoming a hero

he used to be frustrated about society, just like Hammerhead and even commenting that he could have become just like them depending on the path he took.

Due to his great power and being virtually indestructible

Saitama is an indifferent person. Even the mightiest foes pose no challenge to him, so he does not take his hero work seriously, goes through everything with little to no effort, and yearns for an opponent that can provide him with a challenge. The lack of worthy opponents has led him to suffer from a self-imposed existential crisis, and he claims that his ability to feel any emotions has dulled considerably. The combination of his attitude, unstoppable power, and "unimpressive" appearance often causes his battles to become anticlimactic

allow his opponents to rant about their motives

Saitama will usually allow his opponents to rant about their motives and power up into their strongest forms, before obliterating them with a single punch.

indifference

Saitama's indifference doesn't rest solely on his hero work either. In daily life, he is often seen lounging around, playing video games, reading manga, or going out for strolls.

taste in food is rather plain

His taste in food is rather plain, and he often frequents food stalls rather than going to restaurants or cooking at home.

primary interest

hero work has become unfulfilling, and he pays little attention to anything else.

running gag

A running gag about Saitama is his inability to remember people's faces and names, Because of this, he sometimes ends up pronouncing people's names incorrectly, much to their chagrin.

does not care if people insult him

Saitama does not care if people insult him, and he usually ignores them and says that they need a hobby; the only insult that could get a reaction out of him is anything about his lack of hair.

expressed distaste towards his officially assigned hero name

He has expressed distaste towards his officially assigned hero name, Caped Baldy. Thus, even after receiving it, he always refers to himself as Saitama.

Saitama can find things that interest him and actively looks for activities to relieve his boredom.

These things tend to be mundane activities such as watching TV, shopping, or playing games.

He shows a measure of concern when it comes to bargains and deals

He shows a measure of concern when it comes to bargains and deals, as seen when he fought Carnage Kabuto, where he was more shocked upon the realization that he was going to miss a bargain sale, rather than his opponent, who had undergone a transformation and was beating him around.

He can also express irritation and even outright anger depending on the situation

He can also express irritation and even outright anger depending on the situation. However, Saitama has limited patience for long explanations and often interrupts the speaker. His ideal word count is 20 or less.

Stuff to get Saitama angry

He can get angry when he loses to someone like King when they play games. He will become enraged if anyone messes with his food or damages his house as he immediately killed a mantis monster for crashing through his roof and told Genos to move his fight with Sonic somewhere away from his apartment.

greedy side

Aside from being quite a cheapskate due to his financial status, he has a greedy side seen when he tried to steal bags of gold from the underground mine inside the Monster Association Headquarters and was visibly upset after accidentally dropping them down to the bottom of an underground ravine.

shocked

Despite his general indifference to most things, Saitama was genuinely shocked when he realized that no one knew of him despite his achievements, curious as to why he doesn't have any fans. This reaction demonstrates that while he isn't necessarily into hero work for fame, he certainly doesn't object to it.

Another running joke

Saitama shows jealousy to higher rankings, such as when he grew irritated when Genos listed off all of the comments made by fans about how amazing Genos is in their eyes.

Beneath the surface

Saitama is much more complex than his appearance and attitude suggest. While he scored low on the written portion of the hero exam, he is, by no means, unintelligent. Saitama is very observant, insightful, and has high tactical awareness. This is seen in how he could easily discern situations and character traits from the people and environment around him. This is seen in how he could easily discern situations and character traits from the people and environment around him. He could pick up several hints about Sonic's persona upon their first meeting. When two tank top heroes jealously plotted to ruin him after the meteor event, he remarked that there were irate and self-serving hero types like them. He was even able to discern Fubuki's forced offer of submission or destruction just before his crackdown on how the hero world really works than how it is currently run.

has shown remorse to his enemies

Saitama has shown remorse to his enemies before, particularly those who can give him a stimulating fight and don't just go down in one hit. One such example of this is Boros, the self-claimed "Dominator of the Universe", with whom Saitama sympathized due to suffering from similar circumstances, though, in the end, even Boros still could not draw out Saitama's full power.

Saitama tends to come off as abrasive to others and often is inconsiderate of their feelings or how his words affect them

Saitama tends to come off as abrasive to others and often is inconsiderate of their feelings or how his words affect them. That isn't to say he is intentionally malicious or rude, but rather that his indifference extends to his social interactions. He reacted to Fubuki greeting him as the number 1 B-Class heroine with a quick acknowledgement but seemed otherwise unimpressed frustrating Fubuki.

downplays the gravity of situations based on his own perspective rather than that of others

Saitama downplays the gravity of situations based on his own perspective rather than that of others, never considering that those without his earth-shattering power would be rightly more horrified in extreme cases like Boros threatening to destroy the world or the monster society declaring open war on humanity. his fight with Garou, Saitama initially displayed his unconcerned attitude against the Human Monster, from playful banter to compliments on Garou's capability.

Despite his aloof, carefree, and uninterested personality

Despite his aloof, carefree, and uninterested personality,Saitama is actually one of the most morally upright heroes in the story. While many other heroes only care about personal achievements so they can rank up in order to gain more fame and popularity, Saitama is very humble, as he purposefully let the masses turn against him in order for the defeated heroes to be given credit for their efforts against the Deep Sea King, even claiming that they had weakened the monster before his arrival wanting to give credit to the heroes that were actually risking their lives to protect innocent people. Saitama did the same for the police station, killing a monster while disguised as a police officer, despite potentially gaining much fame had he revealed who he actually was as he heard the Hero Association executive try to force the police to beg for assistance exclaiming that, "Police and heroes don't help people because someone had to beg".This is also his outlook on being a hero as he told Genos, "If heroes run and hide, who will stand and fight". He also did not mind that King took credit for all of his achievements.

high morality

One of the most understated signs of Saitama's high morality is that he never uses his incredible strength for evil, even though no one can stop him from doing whatever he wants.

Although he may initially rub people the wrong way and seldom shows his emotions to others

Although he may initially rub people the wrong way and seldom shows his emotions to others, it doesn't mean Saitama doesn't show care for the people around him or their physical or mental well-being. On some occasions, he's helped people with their mental issues, such as a suicidal man wanting to jump off a building, and giving words of encouragement to Fubuki about how she should not seek the approval of others but live her life how she wanted. He promised Tareo to stop Garou without killing him, and complemented Genos after the cyborg saved Tatsumaki by claiming that his heart had grown stronger.

Saitama has yet to be seen killing another human

While he has no problem killing monsters, Saitama has yet to be seen killing another human and only ever uses enough strength to knock them out. His restraint is so ingrained that no matter the opponent's power and no matter how much Saitama knows about them, he only kills when he intends to kill, even if he hits someone unexpectedly, such as the number of times he's knocked out Garou.

In the Ominous Future

In the Ominous Future, after the deaths of Genos and other heroes at the hands of Garou, Saitama becomes despondent at those and questions his own intuition as a hero, asserting that he tends to arrive too late. Quickly, this changes and is replaced by tranquil anger, where he then decides to no longer hold back against Garou. Genos's death also causes Saitama to lose any potential excitement at facing the Hero Hunter, despite him considering Garou to be a strong opponent that may give him a challenging fight, showing his depression at his disciple's end. Garou later comments how people as strong as he and Saitama need others to act as anchors to hold on to so they can remain sane, indicating that such power not only causes a malaise due to a lack of challenges but also the sense of isolation both he and Saitama feel is enough to drive anyone that strong insane.

Saitama has proven to be a good figure to other people, both heroes and villains alike

Saitama has proven to be a good figure to other people, both heroes and villains alike. His influence made Genos quiet his revenge wishes and start focusing on training to become a good and strong hero. He has also made insecure people like Fubuki and Glasses stand up to their challenges and become better heroes. Saitama also advises King to train and become strong for real, rather than being upset the latter stole credit from his battles.

attracts the strong

Saitama "attracts the strong", as many powerful heroes and villains have taken a liking to him. This is due to his lack of interest in hero ranking and fame that attracts them.

Abilities and Powers

Saitama is the titular One-Punch Man and the strongest character in the series. So far, no enemy has been able to injure him in any way, and almost no enemy has been able to survive a single earnest punch from him. A few enemies have survived punches from him, such as any human he has struck (whom he restrains himself against) and Boros, whom Saitama empathized with and held back against so as to give himself and Boros a satisfying and stimulating fight. His strength is so great that it vastly eclipses even artificial beings designed or bred specifically for superhuman combat, such as mechanical beings or the mutated warriors from the House of Evolution. Since no enemies have posed any real challenge to Saitama yet, the upper bound of his strength is likely even higher than it currently appears. The only opponent (so far) who has actually made him put serious effort into defeating was Garou, whose powers and abilities were enhanced by "God", and that's mostly due to the former's ability to copy Saitama's strength so as to fight him as an equal. While his power is only limited to heightened human traits (he cannot fly or fire energy blasts), his superhuman abilities are more than enough to compensate for the lack of variety in his powers.

origin of Saitama's immense strength

The origin of Saitama's immense strength is mysterious and unclear. Although he tells everyone he got his incredible power through mere physical training, no one believes him at all.[62] According to Saitama, after a year and a half of 100 daily push-ups, sit-ups, and squats, plus 10 km daily running, he had achieved some level of superhuman strength. This training was apparently so intense for Saitama that he at times felt he might die, and claims that it is what caused all of his hair to suddenly and eventually fall out. Genos believes that Saitama himself does not actually know or understand how he gained his power, and hopes to learn the secret by sparring with and observing him,[63] while Dr. Genus believes that Saitama worked out with said training regimen so hard that he had removed his limiter. It should be noted that Saitama would complete all parts of the training one after the other without breaks and was battling monsters that appeared during that time, which would have made completing the training more intense than it would normally be expected.

can be outperformed by people with skills in areas outside fighting

Despite his unbelievable physical prowess, Saitama can be outperformed by people with skills in areas outside fighting, like when he was bested by Bang in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors or defeated by King in video games, mostly in one-sided matches. Furthermore, he also seems to possess a normal human appetite, as he lost to Genos in a spicy noodle eating contest.

Unparalleled Strength

Saitama possesses seemingly limitless physical strength and is capable of effortlessly defeating powerful monsters and villains with a single, casual punch (although this strength is not limited to punches). His punches are so powerful that many monsters simply explode when struck. An example of this casual yet overwhelming offensive power occurs when Saitama launches himself from the top of a building, blasts right through a giant meteor with a punch, lands safely, and calmly decides to go home.[68] Another instance is when Sonic tries to attack Saitama with a sword; he stops the sword by catching it with his teeth, effortlessly shattering the blade with the power of his jaw.[69] When launched from Earth to the moon by Boros, he used his jumping power to return to Earth in mere moments, causing a huge shockwave and leaving a massive crater on the surface of the moon upon departure.[70] A "normal" punch from him was shown to be highly destructive, even to someone as durable as Boros.[71] A "serious" punch from him was able to counter the latter's strongest attack, Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon, an attack capable of destroying the planet or its surface. Not only did Saitama completely negate Boros' final attack using his serious punch, but the shockwave from the punch was also powerful enough to part clouds on a global scale.When fighting Orochi, the high-speed pressure of the lava fired from his hands was enough to overpower and completely disperse Orochi's Gaia Cannon, an incredibly powerful attack that drew energy from the Earth's core and caused worldwide earthquakes. Additionally, he is capable of destroying the Earth if he wanted to, and has threatened to do so when irritated. His strength has been stated by numerous characters to defy reason. With only one hand, Saitama could lift the entire surface of Io, a moon of Jupiter, launching its wreckage into space. In his fight against Cosmic Fear Mode Garou, who could perfectly replicate the power of Saitama's Serious Punch, a c

Enhanced Leap

Saitama's inability to fly is somewhat compensated by his immense leg strength, allowing him to leap tremendous heights/distances at high speeds. This can be seen when Saitama smashed his head through the ceiling of a tall gymnasium during the hero tryouts simply by jumping.[82] He was also able to smash a building into its foundation just by leaping off its roof. His greatest feat in this regard, however, was when he leaped from the surface of the moon and ended up back on Earth in seconds at a specified point, leaving a crater on the moon's surface in the process. He is also able to jump while still in the air, adjusting his angle of ascent or descent thanks to his amazing power.

Unparalleled Speed and Reflexes

Saitama possesses unparalleled speed and reflexes. He was able to complete a 1500-meter dash in an instant during his hero tryouts. He has proven able to effortlessly outpace Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, a ninja whose specialty is his superspeed. Even Genos's computerized targeting systems have difficulty tracking him. Saitama has also shown the ability to run down a building to save a piece of salmon he was having for lunch, and leap back up said building without bystanders noticing he had even done so. His speed is so impressive that he can even outpace Flashy Flash, an S-Class hero well-known for his extraordinary speed, easily dodging his sword swings and catching his ultimate technique. When kicked to the moon by Boros, Saitama was able to return to Earth in mere seconds. In addition, he was capable of easily reacting to and blocking Geryuganshoop's near-lightspeed rocks, the speed of which being like a bad joke to him. In his fight against evolved monster Garou, Saitama proved himself firmly superior to and able to effortlessly keep up with him, despite the Hero Hunter previously being capable of creating a giant light structure alongside Platinum Sperm in only 1.3 milliseconds (0.0013 seconds) through sheer speed. Later on, while fighting Garou on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, after flipping a large amount of ground into the air with his Serious Table Flip, Saitama was capable of covering immensely huge distances by dashing across tons of rubble, having jumped around the natural satellite so fast that a large constellation was created from his sheer speed. Ironically, despite his incomparable reflexes and speed, he still has problems squashing a simple mosquito. During a training day when he still had his hair, Saitama tried turning his head around super fast to see the back of his head reflected in a mirror. Despite having failed initially, in the end, he was allegedly able to catch sight of the back of his head. It is possible that this would require Saitama to move his head at close to the speed of light.

Afterimage Creation

Saitama's speed allows him to create afterimages of himself. He first used this during his training bout with Genos. He was also able to create countless afterimages via his Serious Side Hops during his fight with Speed-o'-Sound Sonic.

Supernatural Dexterity and Agility

Saitama is capable of moving any of his limbs at extremely fast speeds without flinching, not stopping until his target is completely obliterated. This is seen when he flawlessly whacks all moles on a Whack-A-Mole machine during the Hero Association exam. He has been shown to be perfect at dodging and performing highly acrobatic maneuvers. His reflexes render him flexible enough to move through the narrowest creeks and dodge attacks at the closest proximity.[104][105] When bombarded by multiple giant bullets from Boros's ship, despite being in mid-air, Saitama could evade all the projectiles before kicking one of them back to the ship itself.

Water Running

Saitama is capable of running across the ocean high-speed without going into the surface of water

Superhuman Stamina and Endurance

After becoming too powerful from his training regimen, Saitama has no longer been shown to tire out when fighting enemies. The only time he was shown to be panting and out of breath from continuous running, he recovered just seconds later. He could still suppress pain even before gaining his overwhelming power. This has been shown on numerous occasions dating back to his days as a middle school student, taking a beating from two upper-level students and, later Piggy Bancon, a Wolf-level threat. Saitama then got back up when the bullies could not and chased after the pig-like monster for his money. Other similar feats include enduring strikes from Crablante and Personification Of A Light Pull Cord during his training as an adult among others.

Superhuman Eyesight

Saitama's eyesight is superhuman; after being kicked to the Moon by Boros, he could pinpoint the location of the giant spaceship and land back on it from the lunar distance. His tracking capability is also astonishing, as he can concentrate on a fast-moving object for a long time and still not lose sight of it, as seen when he was the only person to see where Garou escaped to. He is also able to see in the dark, as he was able to spot a kid a great distance away during the night.

Invulnerability

Saitama possesses unparalleled toughness and durability. He can withstand blows from extremely powerful beings such as Carnage Kabuto and even Boros without suffering any injury or feeling any pain. In fact, no character has actually been able to damage, or even physically harm Saitama in any way. When Genos created a huge, spherical blast of flame to kill Mosquito Girl's mosquitoes, Saitama remained standing right next to him completely unharmed (though his clothes were burnt).[116He even survived the harsh conditions of outer space unscathed during his brief time on the moon. It has been shown that, despite the dangers of holding one's breath in space, Saitama can do so with no negative effects on his body. Another testament to his astonishing durability is that Garou, who, despite having gained enormous strength from monsterization, still could not inflict even the slightest damage on Saitama during their fight. Notably, he was capable of withstanding Garou's Extreme Fa Jin, an attack powerful enough to raise up a large landmass all the way on the other side of the planet, without any damage taken at all.[96] Against Cosmic Fear Mode Garou, who has become influenced by "God", a mysterious entity that possesses frightening supernatural powers, Saitama could easily withstand nuclear explosions generated by the Hero Hunter's Nuclear Fission at point-blank. Even after taking Garou's Gamma Ray Burst head-on, he emerged unscathed from the energy blast that was narratively described to be the same phenomenon as a gamma ray burst, the most powerful type of explosion known in the universe. Later, despite being constantly hit by Garou's punches with the same force as his own Serious Punch, Saitama still came out victorious without noticeable damage. Saitama prefers to dodge or block attacks using edged weapons, rather than take them head-on, as he sometimes does with strikes from fists or blunt objects.

Internal Durability

Not only are his flesh and muscles incredibly tough and sturdy, but Saitama's vital organs are also extremely durable and thus highly resistant to damage. This has been demonstrated in his fight against Garou; despite the latter transferring the powerful impact from his martial arts technique to the inside of Saitama's body in an attempt to destroy his organs, Saitama was able to come out unscathed.

Extreme Temperature Resistance

Saitama is extremely resistant to all types of temperature-based attacks. When Genos created a huge, spherical blast of flame to incinerate Mosquito Girl's mosquitoes, Saitama remained standing next to the cyborg unperturbed and completely unharmed (although his clothes were burnt to a crisp). Despite being completely frozen by Withered Sprout, he was able to instantly shatter the ice and free himself, completely unfazed by the monster's cryokinesis. He has shown capable of tolerating Io's surface temperature that averages about minus 130 degrees Celsius,[127]for at least some time and while naked. Additionally, Saitama is capable of submerging himself in lava with no trouble, viewing it as a nice hot tub. Even Boros's ability to project energy with intense heat that melts sections of the giant spaceship, could not faze him. Saitama can also withstand multiple nuclear explosions point-blank, tolerating the intense heat from them without even flinching. This ability can be attributed to him refusing to use either the air conditioner or heater during his training.

Radiation Resistance

Saitama's body is strongly resistant to radiation. When he was kicked to the moon by Boros, he was not affected by the increased level of radiation in space. When faced with multiple nuclear explosions created by Garou, Saitama was able to meet them head-on and inhale the massive doses of radiation emitted in those subsequent mushroom clouds, unaffectedly. He could also stand near Garou unbothered, despite the latter's mere presence being radioactive enough to kill many other heroes close by within mere moments and even endanger all life on Earth. Furthermore, after being directly hit by Garou's Gamma Ray Burst, a powerful energy blast that was described to be the same phenomenon as a gamma ray burst, Saitama emerged unscathed from the high level of radiation contained in the beam.

Psychic Resistance

Saitama is resistant to psychic power. In his scuffle with Tatsumaki, he is able to easily resist the female esper's attempt to throw him into space. It is noteworthy to know that Saitama's muscles merely "twitched" when Tatsumaki used her psychic powers on him and that she was not able to keep him up in the air for more than a few seconds because he was "too heavy". This demonstrates that Saitama is not completely immune to the effects of psychokinesis. In the original webcomic, Fubuki noted that Saitama's resistance to psychic power comes from his astonishing willpower, although this hasn't been mentioned in the manga.

Vacuum Adaptation

Saitama has considerable control over his breath. Even in outer space, he manages to hold his breath effortlessly, and he even made a jump back to the Earth from the Moon in seconds with no signs of suffocation. His body has been shown to even adapt to and survive in the vacuum of space unscathed. Several factors, like a lack of atmosphere and increased radiation exposure, are at play here, although Saitama was not affected by any of them. This was prominently shown in his fight against Garou on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, where he was unaffected by the thin and unbreathable atmosphere there.

Accelerated Development

Nearly a year into his training regiment, Saitama noted that as a result of his repetitive routine, his body had adapted to "moving like a hero should", and his power began to explode at a rapid rate. In no time at all, he reached unparalleled levels of physical abilities through this regiment, a testament to his growth rate. In his fight with Garou on Io, Saitama's growth rate began to soar exponentially due to the intense emotions he was experiencing. Since removing his natural limiter, Saitama's growth potential seems to have no limit.

Non-Physical Interaction

In a case of his strength defying normal logic, Saitama could break a hole into the Phoenix Space, a spiritual realm that only exists within Phoenix Man's bird costume, by simply knocking on it, demonstrating an ability to interact with non-physical things, much to Phoenix Man's confusion.

Spatial Interaction

Saitama is capable of grabbing onto the spatial portals created by Garou to redirect them. He can even kick away one of Garou's hyperspace portals in order to avoid being forcibly transported to elsewhere, much to Garou's dismay.

Mimicry

Saitama can learn other techniques by observing them. According to Garou, Saitama is capable of replicating all of the Hero Hunter's techniques and improving them even further, just by witnessing them once. The sheer extent that this mimicry ability possesses is logic-defying, as he was even able to copy Garou's ability to travel through time.

Time Travel

A technique passed on to Saitama by Garou. After observing Garou's ability to manipulate particles within his body on sub-atomic level and force them to behave like anti-particles, Saitama was able to replicate it in order to time leap. After successfully going to the past, he managed to prevent the Ominous Future from happening again

Proficient Hand-to-Hand Combatant

Despite having no formal training, Saitama is a proficient and adept hand-to-hand combatant. Thanks to many fights with monsters and villains during his training, he's got a fair amount of fighting experience. Due to his immeasurable power and boredom, he usually does not care about technique and uses basic attacks. Unlike martial artists, his fighting style is quite simple but solid when backed by his absolute strength. However, in his fight against Garou on Io, it's revealed that Saitama is an incredibly quick learner and if he so wishes, he can grasp and master any martial arts techniques after seeing them once. Saitama also uses karate chops, and grappling moves to take down villains he doesn't want to kill, or just to knock out people who pick on him.

Improvisation

Saitama is very proficient with improvised weapons, such as when he killed his first monster by deftly using his tie to grab the monster's eye and tear out his intestines. He is proficient at improvising in general; whenever he can't solve a fight with a punch or directly can't punch his foe, he always comes up with a solution in one way or another and uses unique moves supported by his immeasurable power. Some of these instances are with his Serious Table Flip, and his Serious Headbutt.

Supernatural Accuracy

Saitama seems to have almost perfect precision since whenever he focuses on a target, he always strikes it. He can turn a rock into a deadly projectile that hits its target, as shown when he killed Geryuganshoop. He also had no trouble landing directly on Boros's ship from the moon, even though the angle to return to Earth was extremely small, leaving little room for error.

Normal Series

Saitama's Normal Series consists of techniques in which he puts very little effort into attacking. Even though his attacks are loose in this style, most opponents tend to be finished off easily due to Saitama's tremendous strength and speed.

Normal Punch

Saitama punches his opponent. Even though Saitama puts little to no effort into his punch, it is still strong enough to kill almost every opponent, including Dragon-level threats, blowing apart their bodies, crushing their skulls and bones or even beheading them. When facing humans, however, Saitama holds back greatly, only using enough strength to knock them out.

Consecutive Normal Punches

Saitama launches a volley of quick punches from one or both of his hands. These blows are powerful enough to blow large body types apart into pieces.

Two-Handed Consecutive Normal Punches

Saitama launches a volley of quick punches from both hands instead of one. While named in the original webcomic, in the manga, Saitama simply refers to it as Consecutive Normal Punches whether he uses one or both hands.

Killer Move: Serious Series

In Serious Series, Saitama puts more effort into his attacks. His face looks more serious when he performs these "serious" attacks. Despite the incredible strength behind them, Saitama does not actually consider these moves to be anything special.

Serious Punch

Saitama throws an extremely powerful punch. One of his punches was so strong that not only did it completely negate Boros's Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon, a beam capable of wiping out an entire planet, but the shockwave from the punch alone was also potent enough to part the clouds on a global scale, as well as deliver the final, fatal blow to Boros. The alien leader also declared that Saitama's finishing blow on him was not even near his true power and that Saitama was still holding back. He also used this move to obliterate Elder Centipede, a Dragon-level threat and one of the biggest monsters in the series. When used against Evil Natural Water, who has become one with the ocean, Saitama was able to dissipate its form and split the ocean entirely. A direct collision between two Serious Punches, one from Saitama himself and the other from Garou who gained Saitama's strength thanks to his copy ability, could produce a Serious PunchΒ² which released so much destructive energy that it threatened to destroy the Earth. After being diverted by Blast and three of his allies, the energy released from Serious PunchΒ² further travelled into space where it (presumably) destroyed numerous star systems in the far distance, leaving a massive hole of starless-darkness in the cosmos, with the recoil launching both Saitama and Garou to Jupiter's moon Io.

Omnidirectional Serious Punch

Saitama leaps from multiple angles to create a series of afterimages which all then surround and strike the opponent with a Serious Punch, seemingly leaving no room for them to escape. He first used this attack against Cosmic Fear Mode Garou, who attempted to flee through a hyperspace portal to avoid the attack.

Serious Side Hops

Saitama rapidly hops from side to side, creating a wall of afterimages. He is able to walk forward while doing so.

Serious Squirt Gun

Saitama uses his hands in liquid to squirt a super high-pressured stream. He used this move while submerged in lava to completely overpower Orochi's Gaia Cannon which was an extremely powerful attack that drew energy from the very core of the Earth itself.

Serious Table Flip

Saitama digs his fingers into the ground and flips a large amount of ground into the air.

Serious Sneeze

Saitama simply lets out a sneeze. In his fight with Garou on Io, a sneeze from Saitama ended up travelling great distances before hitting Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, and devastating it.

Serious Headbutt

Saitama headbutts his target.

Keen Perception

Saitama has an uncanny ability to see through a person's facade and understand their deepest motivations for acting the way they do. He repeatedly proves this by reading people like Fubuki and Glasses. In a similar vein, he learns of King's deception quickly but opts to keep it to himself. Nonetheless, he excels at it only when he takes it seriously. He is also the first person to recognize Garou's inner turmoil and the fact that the Hero Hunter was always hoping to be a hero and not a monster.

Power Control

Despite his overwhelming and immeasurable physical strength, Saitama has shown to have control over it. The energy output of his punches is well-managed, and it depends on exactly how much power he wants to put into his fist. In doing so, he can minimize and avoid collateral damage to the environment. In spite of being capable of effortlessly obliterating powerful Dragon-level Mysterious Beings, and parting clouds across the entire planet with his punches, Saitama can still hit weaker opponents such as humans or criminals with barely enough force to knock them out without causing any real serious or life-threatening injuries to them.

Strong Teeth

In one of his fights with Sonic, the latter attacks him with a sword, which the Caped Baldy replies via biting and destroying said sword with no effort.

Strong Farts

In his fight with Garou, after getting a stomachache and being sent flying away, Saitama let out a strong fart that the propulsion from said flatulence gave him enough momentum to soon catch up to the Hero Hunter.

Intimidation

Even though he does not look scary at first glance, those aware of Saitama's powers are afraid of him. Sonic and Genos were left amazed and frightened by Saitama's ability to emit a "powerful aura," which made his opponents tremble and feel under pressure. When confronted by someone Saitama dislikes or finds annoying, all he has to do is threaten them with a few choice words, and they will cower in fear.

Indomitable Will

Saitama has been shown to possess incredible willpower. It is most evident in the flashback to his hero training regime. Even if he was in great pain, or could barely move, or vomited blood, he continued his training.
