SAITAMA JUST MASTERED TIME TRAVEL!? THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS POWER REVEALED!

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Saitama’s powers and new feats simply proves how powerful that mosquito was that he couldn’t kill.

[@ben54321]

And how strong that cat was to pierce his impenetrable skin. Calling it rn, the Big 3 fighting God in the end will be Saitama, Mosquito and Cat. (Crazy that i have to say this but for the slow people, Saitama getting scratched by a cat and failing to kill a mosquito is a gag.)

[@natedawg1007]

Well. You could argue with the latest chapter that Saitima isn’t all that strong unless he’s fighting someone whose really strong. So when he was trying to kill that mosquitoes he was at the lowest of his abilities. But surviving 0.000001% of his power is still nutty.

BUT. alot of people still died this was just after garou got his god powers. so there was still lots of death. the only thing that changes ( for some reason is the "radiation" that also doesn't make sense. because in the manga before this they started to lose their hair pretty much as soon as he did the gama-ray burst, that he still did in this time line. so we are really just missing out on blast.

I don’t know if this was obvious or not but what I found coolest was that instant change of tone when Saitama mentioned it was cold.

My theory is that Saitama's power is simply ultimate force of will, mind over matter. If he believes he can do something, no matter how silly or impossible, he can do it. It started when he was training, collapsed and WILLED himself to get up, to ignore pain, to reject weakness. Now he feels no pain and has no weakness.

I agree. The training was only part of the discipline of the mind over matter hence why he broke his limit.

@@HieuLe-fi2ri No garou can copy saitama as whole, explained in his first awakening as he can read and copy the energy of the universe.

This is a perfect example of the difference between broken limiter, and removed limiter. Garou broke his, and continued to grow infinitely at his genius martial art rate.

You gotta give Garou credit for the one thing that his former master Fang could not do. Garou passed his style down onto Saitama, which Fang wanted to do but Saitama resisted it because he didn't need it. Not only did Garou give Saitama a decent workout where the latter is a whole lot more powerful than before, but he passed the 'martial arts' style Fang teaches onto him to where now Saitama can tap into divine power. He frickin' made Saitama stronger, something that shouldn't otherwise be possible because the latter's power level is already set to "Yes", lol. And furthermore, in the webcomic Garou asks if Saitama has the power to stop tragedies before they can happen. Saitama has a bad habit himself of showing up late to the party. Here in the manga, Garou gives him a way to do so to unmake the tragedy that is his past self killing Genos and the cosmic radiation just about killing everyone else. For this time, Saitama was granted this moment to show up right when he was needed the most and stop a tragedy before it happened by punching the 'god' out of Past-Garou. Garou has a habit of committing heroism by sheer accident in his attempts to do evil. Here just before 'god' took his powers away, he managed to intentionally do something heroic to undo the mistakes he made. Gotta say, his manga rapport sheet is looking really mighty impressive even the only truly nefarious actions committed was when being influenced by the thing that calls itself 'god'.

[@DarknessJuggyJugernaut]

Yeah when the future Saitama fused with the past one he lost the memories from the future so he doesn't know how to time travel anymore

That's exactly what I was imagining. My other observation is the core Saitama is holding. Now if Genos can access that core, he has all the data from the space fight between Saitama and Garou... Now that's something to think about...

Didn't at the end of the chapter Saitama fused into his past self and he just forgot everything

[@RandoGrunt]

Yeah, incidentally Saitama did forget just about everything. Hell, even the part where he punched 'god' out of Garou. It all ties into the whole theme of OPM that Saitama will forever be disappointed because nobody can ever match up to his strength. Against Cosmic Fear Garou he had someone that can stand up to getting Serious Punch'd, but alas now, he forgot all about it. A pity really, this whole experience would've been ample character development for Saitama. Still, Genos' core likely recorded everything.

[@yupazestru5189]

Fang aka Silver Bang

[@GorbonM]

The sneeze feat is really insane when you think about it. In space there isn't any air, this means that you can't create a shock wave (unlike say while on earth). This means that the individual air particles where expelled with such force that they managed to get to jupiter and cause the giant shockwave there. Essentially the particles that were ejected would have to have to have gained energy probably quite a few times larger than earth's total energy (collectively) This gives us a Lorentz factor of 10^27 which means that they were going very close to light speed.

Kinda shows that despite himself, he really does cling to his connections, it’s the only thing keeping him centred. Edit: Human even.

I mean he was not taking serious damage and was also trying not to kill Garou. So the explanation of the powerscale that was shown had to be that he was releasing more and more of his potentially limitless power to defeat Garou.

[@RifterDask]

My dude pulled a Gold Experience Requiem. He removed the cause of Garou's defeat (A long, destructive fight) and left only the effect, which was Garou's defeat. No fight means no Future Saitama to travel back to the past and punch Garou, so Future Saitama is merged into Present Saitama to mend the paradox and no punch was ever thrown. Hence, zero punches. Garou is defeated simply because Saitama exists, which is a rather poetic expression of the themes explored in the original webcomic during this fight.

That's closer to Bites the Dust. Or an even closer analog would be the spell "Cease to Exist" from Tales of Maj'Eyal which, upon the target's defeat, rewinds time back to the moment the spell was first cast.

[@gokhantepe9284]

The "zero punch", as I understand it, is actually a punch thrown out of nowhere, as Saitama punches out of time. So because the punch comes from the zero point, it is called "Zero Punch". Because it comes from outside of existence and time.

Saitama is just so overpowered in the OPM Verse.

I always assumed that Saitama already had a vast well of strength but never had a reason to fully tap into it.

Either way, I can't wait to see this in the next anime season which can't come soon enough.

That's how I saw it. Not growth but rather the necessity to use more of his innate power.

[@paulosevilla3195]

[@Broomer52]

He has no limit, he broke it a long time ago and so his strength is effectively infinite because he can grow infinitely stronger. The difference hardly matters, because it’s basically the same thing

[@Antartica1342]

Actually it explains it better in the web comic imo basically, even in his everyday life doing everyday things Saitama is continually growing exponentially stronger. Every day so much so the previous day was nothing to him. But he's so strong nobody can tell. Not even him since he never gets to use his strength. Being in grand battles where he actually can speeds up that unnatural endless growth exponentially as well

[@brus6919]

No, he himself stated that he was going all out, if you prefer using the words of an old man rather than saitamas own words and the litteral explanation from the author I really don't know what to tell you. He is litterally a sayian, can get infinitely strong and grows extremely fast, but isn't infinitely strong from the start

[@ferociouscat8766]

Interesting theory: since time travel is possible in one punch universe, maybe that can explain the source of his power where his alternated self from parallel future fuse with him over and over again without him know, so he become so powerful as he is.

@@reaty05 We already know how the original OPM would have ended, the original creator of the series already said it. It would be revealed that Saitama had received God's strength, and the final battle of the series would be Saitama vs God. Saitama would win, but due to God's death, Saitama would lose his powers. There'd be a time-skip and we see Saitama, in his regular hero clothes, finding a villain. The villain would defeat Saitama with one punch, where it's then revealed by nearby heroes that Saitama always gets defeated with one punch, hence his hero name being "One Punch Man", then the series ends.

[@DPowered2]

I love the premise of Saitama and i think it was great story telling to not having him as the center always but his arc kind of hurt Garou's much like how there was a revision of the chapters to change the course of their battle. Garou could never hope to touch Saitama despite his arc needed him to overcome his challenges and reach his goals. Saitama stood as a wall he could never get passed so it makes creating a conclusion kind of difficult because Garou has to lose and change his thinking and it has to be done well.

[@nickmotion]

In what way did Saitama's arc hurt Garou's? As Garou's idea is to be the most powerful threat on Earth he would clash with Saitama sooner and later and lose as a consequence, this was always the case. Saitama is a part of Garou's arc because he grounds Garou and subsequently makes Garou question his own motives. Without Saitama Garou wouldn't develop as a character, he'd just stay on his "absolute evil" path believing that's the way when he clearly wants the world to be a better place and simply has the wrong idea of getting there.

[@DPowered2]

@@nickmotion im aware of all of that which is why its important how he comes to that conclusion. It has to be done right to his character as a result of Saitama. In the chapter he takes gods power the first version had him begging for death and giving up only to sit like an embarrassed child in front of the ultimate threat to his ideals while the current version has him reject it and push forward to become stronger. That change was important because its more him than the previous one. Not saying he is right and doesn't need to change his mind but Saitama makes it a bit harder to naturally change his mind because Gauro has always been willing and eager to push beyond his limits and defeat a stronger foe.

[@nickmotion]

@@DPowered2 I’m a bit lost in what you are referring to, because there’s the web comic, then there’s the first iteration of the battle where Saitama beat Garou on Earth and they sat at a table to talk (which was remade), and there is the current manga storyline which also features 2 Garous - 1 who fought Saitama in space and lost & the Garou after time travel who doesn’t know what hit him. Which writing were you happy with story-wise? I think Garou got a good arc in the manga (current storyline), however, now that they reversed time the current Garou hasn’t had the same development in character yet so I’m curious to see what they’ll do with him since he can’t just turn into a neutral guy all of a sudden.

[@nickmotion]

@@DPowered2 Ah, were you saying the first manga version (where they sat at the end) wasn’t good for Garou’s character compared to what we got now with the space battle and time travel? I’m not sure if you have seen the web comic. In it Saitama defeats Garou in much the same way as the first version in the manga - Garou starts monsterifying and trying everything - power/speed/technique/… and one by one nothing works against Saitama. At the end he gives up, cries it isn’t fair that someone like Saitama exists and wants to be killed off to prove heroes aren’t decent, all the other heroes want him dead tbh, but Saitama ofc doesn’t do it. So the first manga version of the fight we got was closer to the web comic in that regard.

[@seushimarejikaze1337]

@@nickmotion yep first version was following the webcomic, but its a nice twist to see where the story could evolve from this, i guess the change results from introducing "blast" as a character that actually appears and adding "god" to the story, so the author decided to build on that trope. i gotta say, that i wasnt expecting that turn of events, having read webcomic and all...
