FUN FACT Popeye was SUPER beloved and popular in Japan so much so that Popeye Arcade by Nintendo was designed by Genyo Takeda and Shigeru Miyamoto. Previously, Nintendo had originally intended to make a video game based on the Popeye characters, but was denied a license, so the mostly original characters of Mario, Donkey Kong, and Pauline were developed for Donkey Kong (1981).

Saitama can’t surpass Popeye not cuz of toon force but cuz he’s just not in the same tier of power, he can’t grow stronger fast enough to even reach the level of Popeye before he gets killed, he only surpassed Garou cuz they were close in power meanwhile Popeye is above universal Gods and that’s not even his highest scaling so until Saitama fights and beats his own God who made the universal then he can’t even scratch the balls do Popeye.

Nux isn’t completely wrong if we put people into another’s verse you could try to argue that the narrative of the verse and character would mark them win tho that’s only true if the author has control imo, narrative should not matter even in a crossverse battle in each other’s verse cuz it is not about narrative it is about scaling and facts we can prove, Saitama can still grow in power and so can Goku without narrative cuz it is an ability they have but then we measure who has better growth and who is stronger and if the weaker one can grow enough to make up for the strength gap which Saitama can’t since it’s a literal dimensional tier difference in power which is beyond infinite so until Saitama gets to universe he can’t even fight base Goku or even do shit to Popeye. These are the facts and to be fair to Nux he admits his biases, he says if Saitama was in Popeye’s world he would lose and if Popeye was in Saitama’s world then Popeye loses and if they are in a neutral ground then Popeye wins cuz of stats and toon force, the only issues with what he said is him implying the toon force is limited to his verse and makes Popeye unstoppable which ain’t true, and that Saitama could even kill Popeye cuz the narrative of surpassing him tho he has nothing for his toon force and coming back from nothingness, but I’ll cut him some slack.

Pops speed if it wasn't already ludicrous enough, is not Massively Faster Then Light, but is technically Immeasurable just from the fact Pops outfought those already enhanced by Spinach *without being under the effect, in base form basically (the same Spinach that is powerful enough pull a Flash through time already!)* functions fine from the absence of said Cosmology and through it, etc... Also it's not much, but about the whole *"But he is racist!"* Ordeal, sure what Pops did was terrible... *But it's not really the bigger picture when you think about it:* Bro literally had his own colored uncle ben that taught him responsibility + much like other Toons who did some insensitive stuff today have become much better people regardless, they were born smack dab in the middle of differing times for crying out loud so we gotta cut them slack there (I.E: Bugs and Mickey doing some racist stuff that were considered the norm, but now they have no problem being with these people).

If you try to put someone without it against someone that does, the fight s decided before it ever could've begun depending on how serious it is taken. Why test anything other than a toon against it if that is the case? Its absurd. And in the process of using Toon Force as a power scaling concept, you are taking the context of exactly one side of the fight. A Toon can only act as a Toon because of Toon Force. Everything else has some degree of rules. Toon Force basically has none. And only works in the context of a Toon. 'A toon cannot die' or any of the other various things.

It didn't matter what universe Saitama would've been in, he still would've lost off the pure fact that Popeye is an old timey cartoon character with toon force. Saitama could go back in time or whatever he was talking about, punch him, he'd die and then his dead body would eat spinach. Popeye would punch him again he'd turn into eggs, fight is over. It's just that simple of a concept. He can't surpass a limit that doesn't exist. Popeye just had better hax, aka, Toon Force.

yeah but even toon force isn't end all be all it still bends to logic, and what's the most funny to example, a character would only turn to items when its knocked out, kind of like faint in pokemon and if saitama punches pop aye into another universe, hell still die because that's how plot strings work you loose when you're out of were the camera can follow you feasibly to stay in one setting of course there's still can be a gag were pop aye is on another planet in a crator, beat up with some aliens eating spinach and flying back, but saitama does the same quate frequently pop aye will still show up some time later though toon force - is what writers say it is, and he still takes damage same way toon force makes popaye take

[@Skyinitus]

Using Toon Force as a Strength Feat at all is frankly cringe. Saitama is a satire character, one that basically has the anime equivalent of Toon Force. In that he always wins all his fights without any real strain on his part. Hitting him with something on par with him just seems to make him stronger, without hurting him in any meaningful way. Saitama is a exponential growth Curve that only grows more exponentially powerful when hit with something that could potentially be considered to pose a threat to him. Even if you want to claim Toon Force, the only fair conclusion would be that if because Toon Force Popeye is literally unkillable at all for any reason whatsoever, then Saitama would reach that same point and the fight would just be a standstill where nobody could win or loose.

You know, I don't usually watch many KZbinrs that have a stylized, animated model to represent themselves, mainly because you can never really tell what they're facial expressions are like. Even those that have facial tracking are difficult to sort out because the digital translation can easily be programmed to exaggerate or even muffle the YT'ers expressions. So when I say that I like watching Nux, that's saying something. He can make up for a lot of those particular "sins" through exaggerated vocal inflection & the occasional instance of vocal fading as he stands up & walks away from the microphone. All that being said, when Wiz & Boomstick were getting around to mathematically analyze 'Toon Force, of all things, I could *feel* his frustration & suffering *in spite of* the limitations on his avatar...And I enjoy every second of it! 😁 'Toon Force: As Roger Rabbit ("Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" movie) explained it to Detective Eddie Valiant, a 'toon can do *anything* as long as it's funny. That being said, if you can manage to demoralize a 'toon into losing all of its sense of humor, you win. In Popeye's case it's slightly different...He's not even trying to be funny, as he takes almost every situation with a measure of seriousness. The real difference is Spinach; there has been *nothing* capable of keeping Popeye separated from his spinach long enough to actually win. Saitama may be easily capable of breaking the Laws of Physics but for Popeye, the Laws of Physics is nothing more than a mildly whispered suggestion. All in all though, Nux was able to enjoy watching the fight regardless of its outcome...In essence, it means he can enjoy the fiction as the *entertainment* it's meant to be.

[@hyperdreamer9483]

I’m just going to say this here. If Death Battle took into consideration how a character could grow stronger to match their opponent than literally every “Main Character” ever could never lose in Death Battle and “Main Character vs Main Character” would just be a forever statement of each one just growing stronger to match their opponent. The only way the find a winner is the use “Feats” and their “Abilities”, writing gimmicks or anything that’s not “In Universe” isn’t in consideration for Death Battle, where they take each character at the Most Recent maximum potential

This was technically made before we learned how Saitama’s power scaled, but even still, it’s freaking Popeye. Even if your growth is infinite and exponential, it can’t catch up to infinity itself. And Toon force is a tier of infinity. Cosmic Garou is strong, sure, but Popeye is a whole other league of OP. That is… until Saitama fights god. We’ll see then just how truly strong Saitama really is. Unfortunately, the punching in the past Saitama did was very circumstantial. For one, while Saitama did learn how to punch back in time, he eventually forgot how to do that later since his past self caught up with his present, forcibly rewriting his memories of the events that took place against Cosmic Garou.

Nux, I want to say why I truly enjoy watching your reactions to these battles. 1: you are animated in your reactions. You give feedback, disagree, defend your point, discuss. It makes enough extra content to be worth watching. 2: You don't always agree with me or with Death Battle (not that I always agree with them either) *but* you still listen to their arguments and recognize where the fight is going. 3: you give credit where credit is due. Even when you hate the outcome or the techniques used in the fight, you show proper appreciation for a job well done in the animation and storytelling. 4: No matter how salty you may get, and no matter how much you might disagree with the outcome, you still appreciate when a feat you didn't know would prove you wrong and (sometimes) admit your stance might be the wrong one by the end. So many butthurt fanboys of *any* of these characters will die on a hill regardless of the data. You might disagree or pull up other feats, but I've also seen you acknowledge when you were wrong too. (Namely Goku v. Superman) I respect that. Please keep it up. I love Death Battle. I love the nonsense power scaling that serves no real purpose in real life. I also very much enjoy your takes on their videos and both your agreements and disagreements with them. Thank you.

[@mentaya11]

I also wanted to add 5: you recognize your biases. Such as in this one. You are biased for Saitama, but you also recognize, acknowledge and admit that bias. It makes it far more enjoyable to watch. And yes, toon force is stupid. It was never *meant* to be taken literally. But you kind of have to if you are going to try to make a "realistic" fight between a toon and anyone else. It results in some stupid calculation and in some ridiculous scaling, but the alternative is to either not use them, or just assume anything a toon does that is unrealistic is just not real and can't be counted. The former is less fun, as it means a whole category cannot be used, and the latter means characters like Popeye more or less get scaled down to tough street brawlers or military men. I prefer the way Death Battle does it, but I understand if you do not.

The wild thing is, if this did come out after the Garou fight and the concept that Saitama will just always evolve beyond his opponent was part of his canon at point of airing this episode, what would the outcome actually be? Because toon force is essentially an unquantifiable value that can be whatever it needs to, and Saitama could always become more than that, so would there ever actually be a winner? Or would the math just continue to exponentially grow on both sides infinitely?

[@jerod.saibot]

As far as I know, Saitama needs time to adapt to and overcome his opponent. That means the Toon Force character would probably still win because they could just one tap him, in a funny way, before he adapts. At least that’s how I see it.

And I am saying that you cannot genuinely consider Toon Force without considering the context of the story. AKA that its a catroon thats based on Toon Force Logic. IF you beleive that Toon Force is a legitimate power-scaling thing to consider, then you have to accept that you are taking the nature of the medium it was created in, into account. If you take literally a medium that was never meant to be, then you have to give that same respect to whatever you're putting it up against. You cannot separate Toon Force from the medium that it was used within. It'd be like dropping a character that has some innate magic in a medieval world where magic doesn't exist.

The times when popeye talks to himself very quickly, perfect, the lingo and verbiage he used in the fight, perfect and the humor was also perfect. that frame of saitama and popeye clashing for the first time at 31:33 im pretty sure popeyes pose is a reference to something but I cant find it.
