Saitama

Saitama can lift more than 1000 tons of weight with one hand.

Serious Impact: His powerful strike was capable of completely neutralizing Boros's attack, which was capable of destroying the planet's surface. The energy of such a strike is comparable to an explosion equivalent to millions of megatons of TNT.

Saitama is a character with

"limitless" potential. His power has no fixed limit, as he literally "broke his limiter."

How strong is he?

In the final chapters of the manga, his power reached cosmic levels:

Planet-Destroying Sneeze: While on Saturn's moon Io, Saitama sneezed so hard that it blew away the outer layers of gas from Jupiter.

Star-Erasing Strike: His clash with Garou created a shockwave that erased the light from countless stars in the night sky.

Spatial Manipulation: He can pick up hyperspace gates (portals) with his hands and move them like physical objects.

Exponential Growth: When fighting an equal (or nearly equal) opponent, Saitama's strength begins to grow not gradually, but exponentially during the battle.

How invulnerable is he?

His protection is almost absolute for his universe:

Direct Gamma Ray Burst Hit: Saitama withstood a massive burst of energy (the most explosive phenomenon in the universe) without a single scratch.

Space Survival: He can survive in a vacuum without oxygen simply by holding his breath, and can withstand extreme cold and radiation.

Magic and Psychic Immunity: Telekinesis (even at Tatsumaki's level) has little effect on him, as his "spirit" is too heavy to manipulate.

Temperature and pressure: He bathed in lava and withstood the pressure of gravitational anomalies without harm to his health.

Bottom line: Saitama is only as strong as he needs to be to win at any given moment. The only things that can "damage" him are cat scratches in comedy scenes or losing to King in video games.

Yes, video games are one of Saitama's official hobbies, according to the manga databooks.

However, in the virtual world, his "invincibility" disappears, which creates many comical situations.

Here are key facts about his relationship with games:

Worst Player vs. Best: Saitama constantly faces off against S-Class hero King, who is the best gamer in the world. King defeats Saitama with phenomenal ease, sometimes using just two fingers or winning the fight with minimal health.

Lack of Skill: Unlike in real-life combat, Saitama has no technique in games. He often simply spams the same button or what he considers to be his most powerful attack, making him easy to spot for experienced players.

Reaction Issue: While Saitama's reaction time is practically instantaneous in real life, in games he's limited by the speed of the hardware itself and input lag. Even if he presses buttons at supersonic speed, the character on the screen moves at the normal game speed.

Games as a means of socialization: Video games became the foundation of Saitama and King's friendship. King is one of the few who treats Saitama not as a monster or a teacher, but as a normal person with whom he can argue over erased saves or a lost match.

Tournament Participation: In one OVA, Saitama attempted to enter a gaming tournament for a cash prize of 5 million yen, but was quickly defeated in the first round by a koala-shaped avatar (which was later revealed to be controlled by King).

For Saitama, games are a rare opportunity to experience the true thrill and bitterness of defeat that he so lacks in real battles.

Saitama's intelligence is often underestimated due to his aloofness, but he's not actually stupid - he's more of a "everyday sage." Here's how his intelligence is distributed according to different criteria:

1. Academic knowledge: Below average On the Hero Association exam, Saitama scored only 21 out of 50 on the written section. He struggles with theory, bureaucracy, and complex scientific concepts. If someone (like Genos) starts explaining something in more than 20 words, Saitama simply stops listening.
2. Combat Intelligence and Intuition: God Level In battle, he displays phenomenal insight: Strength Control: He is able to calculate the power of a blow with mathematical precision so as not to kill a person (like Sonic) or destroy a planet when it is not necessary. Tactical Acumen: Despite having no formal martial arts training, he is able to instantly read enemy tactics and find weaknesses. Copying Techniques: During his battle with Garou, Saitama instantly mastered the time and particle manipulation technique that Garou had been honing for a long time.
3. Emotional intelligence and wisdom: High Saitama is an excellent judge of human souls. He is the only one who immediately understood Garou's true motives (he wanted to be a hero, but chose the path of "absolute evil" out of despair). He gives deep advice to King and Fubuki, helping them overcome their internal crises. His philosophical outlook on life ("a hero for the sake of a hobby") allows him to ignore public opinion and envy, which requires great mental fortitude. Bottom line: Saitama is a "mentally lazy genius." He has tremendous potential for learning and understanding the world, but he simply sees no point in straining his brain for things that don't affect his daily life or saving people.

Saitama's character is a mixture of indifference, hidden nobility, and everyday concerns. Here are the main traits that define his personality:

1. Total boredom and apathy Having become invincible, Saitama has lost his passion for battle. He often appears detached and emotionally drained because he no longer feels the adrenaline rush of battle—it has become a routine for him.
2. Modesty and lack of vanity He doesn't seek fame or accolades. Saitama readily gives his achievements to other heroes to bolster their reputations or people's faith in justice (as in the case of the Deep Sea King). He calls himself a "hobby hero" and doesn't strive for the top rankings.
3. Everyday down-to-earthness Despite his godlike powers, Saitama is more concerned with supermarket discounts, paying his rent on time, and the possibility of missing trash day. This contrasting "humanity" makes him unique among the pretentious superheroes.
4. A heightened sense of justice Although he appears apathetic, Saitama has strong moral principles. He always comes to the rescue if he sees a real threat, and he doesn't tolerate arrogance from other heroes or villains.
5. Intellectual simplicity (but not stupidity) He thinks very straightforwardly and often loses the thread of a conversation if someone (like Genos) starts talking in overly long and complex sentences. Saitama values ​​brevity: his motto in arguments is "keep it short, in 20 words or less!"
