Kyle. At 12:00 I think it is more likely that saitama simply just jumped into space and then used his fart to further increase his speed. Saitama has already shown himself to be strong enough to simply just jump into space.

[@sebastienpaquin4586]

Don't forget that despite how he appears, Saitama has an innate genius level of understanding of physics. In his fight against Boros he only had to casually throw a small rock 1 feet in the air to instantly know how much power he would need to jump back from the moon not only to reach earth, but to land exactly back on Boros' ship taking into account earth's rotation and the Moon's orbital motion.

[@steve7613]

Ikr? Saitama, despite him not using any of many techniques in the OPM universe, or even developing his own, has perfect control of his mass, momentum and force. He doesn't often use it, because he can beat his most of his opponents with no effort, but when he does it's a treat to read or watch.

[@CerealExperimentsMizuki]

I didn't see that at all, was that stated?? All I saw was that he threw a rock up to see the low Gravity effect and thought it was cool but since he needs Oxygen in order to breathe he just jumped right back and since it's fiction and Murata doesn't have a genius level Quantum Physics degree, he thought it would look cool and that it would be efficient that he just landed back in the same spot. Even if Siatama thought about all of the Physics behind his jump Murata certainty didn't.

The ideal rocket equation doesn't factor in relativistic exhaust velocity, right? If the fart travels at a significant fraction of the speed of light, it will increase its mass, thus increasing its thrust. A mere 98.7% c would result in a 6.1x relativistic mass, thus providing the necessary dt v (ideal rocket equation with its ln may have something to say about that, but I'm just conceptualizing)

Mass does not increase with speed. "Apparant Mass" is what increases, but the rest mass never ever changes.

4:48 - Creating a "hole in the stars" could actually be possible if the blast's mass/energy were contained in a volume approaching the Schwarzschild radius (a kugelblitz, or close enough) -- the photons emanated from the stars in that direction would be pulled away from their original trajectories, deflected away or pulled inside the blast such they never reach our eyes on earth and thus creating the appearance of a section of the sky devoid of stars. The interesting thing is that over time (perhaps hours or years), the radius of this "dark spot" in the sky would continuously shrink as the blast itself moves away from us, and also move around a bit (from our perspective) due to parallax effects as the earth rotates and orbits the sun -- this would all provide some spectacular, variable gravitational lensing effects for astronomers to oogle at for decades to come.

For those who are wondering why the chapters are numbered 170, 171 and 172 can be also be called 166, 167 and 168. The reason of that because Murata the author of the OPM manga redraws some of the chapters he already done after they are released. Meaning that sometimes he goes back to chapters he already released and make changes to them, which then will make them longer or shorter and therefore this will change the number of OPM chapters overall!

That was a misconstrued point made by the fandom based on the catchy title name. The point of OPM was that it was a satire of putting an end-series shonen protagonist at the beginning of their series (like Ultra Instinct Goku vs Raditz). Saitama broke his limiter so that he could go beyond human limitations, but he was never _absolutely_ limitless. That's why Saitama got upset that he was back to one punch after fighting Boros, and that's also why as shown in this video, Saitama has a set power level (it increased at an exponential rate).

[@dragonman101]

4:56 You mention this as a "hole in the stars" which is impossible given the speed of light. However, you also mentioned that the attack could have destroyed the planet instantly. Is it possible that an attack of that magnitude would also carry with it a gravitational force? Essentially creating a black hole (similar to a star imploding or greater)? Thus the lack of stars isn't a "hole in the stars", but rather an attack capable of emitting enough gravity to bend light?

[@Nulnhility]

That is what most people believe, which is still very impressive 'cause that means that the Serious Punch squared is Black Hole level or higher

[@Hoivey]

Or simply it is the dark side of the moon

[@Merennulli]

A black hole would cause lensing, which we don't see. It's a drawing of course, so they may have intended a black hole and just not thought of that. But the Interstellar image is in popular culture now so I doubt they would have left it like that if they wanted it to be a black hole. A column of distorted space might work, with it shaped so that light is directed away from the viewer or red shifted out of the visible spectrum. But given the shock value they were going for and Garou's later technique that lead to the Zero Punch, I think the most likely intent is that it created a wave of destruction traveling at the inverse of the speed of light so that it destroyed everything in that direction further and further back in time. So something a light-second away was destroyed a second ago, something a light year away was destroyed a year ago, etc. with expansion factored in proportionally.

[@masonjohnson4310]

@@ghosthunter0950 Luckily the moon is tidally locked, so it's position doesn't change a huge amount over time. That being said, Boros' ship has a top surface area of like 138671.52 sqr km (according to Genos), and the moon is 384472.282 km away (assuming this). If we say that Boros' ship is effectively a circle from that distance, then he'd have room for error of about 210.0964 km (radius). If I did my trig right, he'd have to aim to within about 0.03131 degrees. But, he landed within a few km of Boros instead by the looks of it. So, let's say, 5 km.

Kyle could you please break down the required forces needed for the mortal kombat finishers like tearing off heads and all that.

[@Hagunemnon]

Well, for simple decapitations, we could look at long-drop hangings to get a rough estimate of how much energy you'd need to more or less reliably pull off someone's head. A force of around 1,260 lb-ft (approx. 1.7kJ) will break your neck and can, on occasion, result in decapitation; this is what happened to the likes of Black Jack Ketchum in 1901 and Eva Dugan in 1930. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch (no pun intended) to assume that, if one were to double the amount of energy (so, about 3.4kJ) put on to the neck of a person, you could more or less reliably decapitate them, depending on the strength of the tendons and muscles in their necks. To put that into perspective, a karate expert can exert around 0.4kJ in a single punch, only a little under what you'd get from being shot with a .45 ACP. To get the amount of energy needed to (more or less) reliably rip off someone's head, you'd have to exert an amount of energy roughly equivalent to that of a .450 Bushmaster round (which sits around 3.7kJ).

What scientist368 said. Also, as evidenced by a lot of stuff, one of the things Saitama wanted the most after having broken his limiter, is challenge. After this many years of One-Punching, there's finally an enemy who can survive some of his punches, without him holding back too much - naturally, Saitama would savor the feeling of even fight as much as possible, rather than beat Garou instantly.

[@user-mr6hc9hy2t]

Absolutely, Garou is the strongest opponent Saitama has faced. On top of that though, we also have many example of Saitama being able to control the output of his attacks, as he has defeated relatively normal humans without killing them either. Saitama also asks Tareo if he wants him to "stop him" but without killing him, which Tareo confirms. So somehow, despite the sheer force of Saitama and Garou's attacks, Saitama knew that he wasn't landing fatal blows on Garou. Especially considering the Jupiter feat, I think it's safe to say that had Saitama actually wanted to kill Garou at any point, he would have done so.

[@simian9200]

The time-travel scene may actually have a more reasonable (and more scientifically interesting) justification than the super-luminal fart does. It specifically mentions that the matter and anti-matter particles in and around Garou's and Saitama's bodies begin to mimic each other, essentially switching behaviors. Since Saitama is made of terrene-matter particles, that means the mass that makes up his body would begin to act like the anti-matter particles. And one of the current mainstream theories for how anti-matter particles behave suggests they actually move *backwards* through time, rather than forwards. So if the matter of Saitama's body begins to act like it's made of anti-matter, it might actually move backwards through time, just like we see in the manga, until they resume normal behavior.

[@StripedJacket]

But by moving back in time and stopping it from ever happening would leave a paradox. Because then he’d never have fought him to the point of receiving said move, never traveling in time so it never happened.

Many people seem to be downplaying that void left by the serious punch^2 by saying nothing actually got destroyed, that it was a black hole, or distortion of light (all head canon btw). If Murata wanted to depict a black hole, he would have drawn the iconic light distortion effect around it. Instead he is showcasing destructive capabilities of the two most powerful beings in the universe trading punches at faster than light speed. He chose to do so by depicting a massive cold spot/ void in the universe being left from their clash. The serious punch^2, is meant to be destructive force in existence, more powerful than a gamma ray burst according to Garou, who had gained all knowledge of how energy flows in the universe. If it doesn’t decimate everything in its path after being concentrated into a beam and fired into space, than that betrays the over the top spectacle of the Manga.

But I guess that, if Saitama had farted near the sun it would have the same effect.

From what I saw, it also looked like Saitama propelled himself into garou's portal like thing and not all the way from the sun

@@Q_z_Saitama used the fart to escape the suns gravity and go through the Garou's "escape portal" before it closed.

[@Q_z_]

@@David-hu7zd yeah, that's what I thought, but in the vid it sounds like the calculation was for if Saitama propelled himself from the sun to the earth

Finally!!! I've been waiting for this

[@Notsogoodguitarguy]

I have an alternate proposition for the hole in the stars. It isn't necessarily that he blasted the stars away. He could have just blasted the light coming from that region of space away and thus making it look like it's empty.

[@paprickachicken5277]

Couldn't it be both?

[@AhmedE-X]

You think the author would just make saitama sneeze a planet but not being able to destroy stars? Yea I don't know abt that...

[@afoxinafoxhole7891]

Friendly reminder saitama did this all with effectively one arm behind his back

[@MasterWorld14]

Kyle Hill! Could you calculate how strong Saitama's skin would have to be to withstand the forces he has created in the anime so far?

[@CerealExperimentsMizuki]

Multi Solar System level

[@Goatsee]

Saitama and Kyle are on the same level if you value hair

[@j.e.m.stones2479]

Loved the video! (OPM is my favorite anime/manga and I also love numbers) However, I wanted to bring up a couple minute oversights regarding the calculations surrounding the "Serious Sneeze". 1. The sneeze originated on Io, Io is approx. 262,000 miles away from Jupiter. 2. The force from that sneeze would have to travel the ~262,000 miles through the vacuum of space (not to mention leaving one atmosphere and entering another) Of course if this was all calculated in then just ignore this.

[@monkeyoftheurban8173]

I can always be ready for another OPM hyped chapter but I could never have been ready to witness this glorious event (Kyle covering this so fast after it came out that is)

[@amkamomega]

The panels in the latest chapters legit had my jaw on the floor Specifically, the Gamma Ray burst by Garou

[@jllhrmonica]

Kyle be like that one friend who cannot contain the hype he started telling the story to the entire class.
