Saitama VS Popeye (One-Punch Man VS Thimble Theatre) |

[@aeonixhope8383]

You guys are being unreasonably salty... Like they gave a reasonable explanation for why Popeye would beat Saitama, hell could beat any character who doesn't utilize toon force. I feel like you're letting your love for the show OPM get in the way of what is for once one of the more reasonable Death Battles, instead of just enjoying the Death Battle animation for what it is as a cool finale. Like, if you can come up with a way for Saitama to be able to defend themselves against an attack that could turn you into a pile of fish hooks, I want to hear it. I'm genuinely curious. Saitama doesn't really have any of the reality defying abilities that Popeye, or hell even Bugs Bunny and the Mask have. He only had his superhuman strength and durability, which while superhuman doesn't really possess a natural resistance against reality defying abilities.

Even if we did assume his narrative is written to never lose a fight, Popeye could get out of the plot, go into the real world and force the animators and writers (you know, the dudes who CREATE the plot) to let the fight go a certain way.

Regardless of the absurdity of Toon Force, Popeye survived ALL OF REALITY ITSELF BEING ERASED. Put simply, if he can shrug that off, Saitama wouldn't really be able to hurt him. Plus, Saitama is still human, and can't breathe in space, whereas Popeye can. Also, there's nothing stopping Popeye from just, threatening the animators to make the fight go a certain way.

Lmao that would have been a neat gag like during the Green Mask vs Deadpool fight

[@mrreyes5004]

Yup. The idea that Saitama can just one-shot ANYBODY regardless of what franchise they're from or how powerful they are is just ridiculous. No amount of punching super hard will help against a guy who survived literally the entire universe being erased around him as well as coming back from the void of non-existence. Sorry, Saitama fans, but he ain't invincible, and his gag definitely doesn't work on an even older and demonstrably stronger character who is _literally even more of a gag._ Popeye is what he is, and what he is happens to be One-Punch Man before Saitama was even a thought in ONE's head.

To be fair, a lot of people, myself included before the battle, underestimated Popeye because he was a old-school cartoon, but that's also the reason WHY he won; he's an old-school cartoon. Anime characters like Saitama have limits, no matter how strong those characters are. Cartoons like Popeye, especially as old a cartoon as he is with no source material (to my knowledge), are basically gods because they can do fuck-all everything.

You are 100% right. Popeye is a cartoon that can break any law and create there own laws and break them One punch man is an Anime which follows all "natural" laws of physics. Sometimes they can be pushed but never fully broken. But to put it simply, not even saitama could beat popeye because of the stupid logic that is, the toon force!

[@justanaverageanimefan8487]

Okay,that does it. Clearly you guys don't pay attention. They showed proof that Saitama is the strongest in HIS universe. It doesn't mean any other character from any other universe isn't strong enough to beat him. Not to mention showing proof that Saitama is NOT limitless. And Nate you couldn't tell but the moment you said "BS" after the K.O I disliked. Like wow,it's amazing how wrong you guys are on this one. And BTW if you payed attention,they did measure Popeye's star feat which was stronger than Saitama's greatest punch. I'm tired of seeing you guys complaining whenever the character you wanna see loses a DB. How about enjoy the fight for what it is instead of complaining like children? It's honestly to the point I'm considering unsubscribing from your channel. P.S; Saitama's creator has said before that Saitama isn't unbeatable.

[@MinatotheGreenLantern]

Exactly

[@chaosjoker5637]

I love the Renegades as much as their next fan, but their reaction to this was stupid. If they weren’t complaining, they’d have seen that both Saitama and ONE have stated that he currently has a measurable limit, since Saitama hasn’t had to actually exert himself in any fight, thus had no need to become stronger. Popeye, on the other hand, is rubber hose animation and has toon force; this fight was over long before it began, but it was at least enjoyable. Not to mention his ability to literally deconstruct things with a single punch, and that’s before he eats spinach. Hell, if Popeye wanted to, he could force the animators to let him win, because he breaks the fourth wall almost as much as Deadpool does, if not more! Out of all the reactions I’ve seen, these are the only two I’ve seen that complained when Saitama didn’t win.

[@thestanman1486]

And then he goes out of his way to say, "hey they said Superman has infinite strength so why doesn't Saitama" and "Why doesn't Popeye just fight Superman then?" like what relation does Superman have in this, DB literally didn't namedrop Superman once in this episode. As a massive Superman fan it hurts seeing one of my favorite reaction channels shit on his character.

[@justinalicea1590]

They did measure what they could, the energy of the spinach Popeye eats and thus the boost he gets from it. Oh wait, Popeye's actually beaten a spinach eating boxer without his own spinach boost, meaning he has that star level power already and thus millions of times stronger than Saitama's most casual planet busting punch. And even as mentioned, even if Saitama could kill Popeye, Popeye can just revive himself with his spinach, becoming even stronger than Saitama, and he can decompose Saitama with any punch he wants. Not to mention you skipped out on Saitama's 8% speed of light feat from returning from the moon, which is beaten by Popeye's 500 times faster than light feat in hitting the sun.

Everyone in the death battle community agree on this verdict. This fight is also one of the biggest stomps in the entire series and no they didn’t say that Popeye can win just because he’s from a wacky cartoon, they actually used feats and they said that Saitamas POTENTIAL strength is limitless, but there’s nothing in his world that can even push him to those levels. And it doesn’t matter if Saitama strength is limitless, I’m pretty sure beating the shit out of your animator in the real world is infinitely above limitless power in a fictional world. Here I’ll prove it now, take one of your comic books out, preferably the one with the strongest character (like Superman, who apparently has limitless power) and fight it. Who’s going to win? You or the comic book? If it actually took you more than 2 seconds to think of an answer to that obvious question, then maybe go lie down for awhile, have a nice nap. Nate, I enjoy your content. I think you and your friends are great people at heart and are great reactors because you actually react but please don’t spout shit that you think is correct just because you disagree with an outcome, Death battle gave you clear evidence on why Popeye would win and yet you just ignored it and oh also really nice of you to basically say your fans are lazy and toxic when you referred them to having fat fingers mashing the dislike button.

[@mrreyes5004]

Pretty much, yeah. Alien X is still a serious entity with little comedic factor behind it. Ben always has limits he must follow; no matter how much he masters the Omnitrix or how powerful his aliens become, there's always a hard max level he can't overtake due to the character-driven nature of his show that lets him be a relatable and complex person. Being a funny cartoon character literally for the lols, though, Popeye could probably ignore the Chronosapien Time Bomb or even straight up punch its explosion away, and for no other reason than because _spinach makes him strong._ No rules, no definable limits, nada. This is why characters such as Mario, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, The Mask, Donald Duck and especially Bugs Bunny are so ridiculous to work with in versus debates, because the same rules that most overpowered characters are bound to in at least _some_ extent to give them depth (Green Lantern, Goku, Sonic the Hedgehog) are simply _ignored altogether_ by these gag guys. And, as hilariously strong as Saitama is, he just isn't one of these characters, at least nowhere near to the same extent as Elzie Segar's Sailor Man.

[@ripoutyourintestines5099]

@@JediBlueDog I have no idea what CB stands for same way I’ve never bothered to learn what DC Comics is supposed to stand for. Also the reason why Pilgor is so strong is because she’s literally invulnerable (in other words if she doesn’t want to take damage she doesn’t) there’s no amount of power anywhere that could kill her if she doesn’t want to. She can stretch, burn, float. It doesn’t matter her body will adapt to it. I’m pretty sure there’s comics about it somewhere that were written about her (they were fan made but the developers of the game just said they enjoyed them) and basically in these comics a corporation like the SCP foundation has been trying to contain her since birth, she was flipping semi trucks at 6 weeks old, they only found out she was different after she got hit by a car and walked away fine, she kept breaking out of containment and it was to the point where they created Goatville in order to keep her happy.

No disrespect but you guys just came off as salty that your favorite character lost. The only unfair thing in this battle was the matchup itself, after watching the analysis there was no doubt in my mind that Popeye massively stomps Saitama, I'm saying this as a Saitama fan, I like Saitama more than Popeye even though I do love Popeye too) but I don't let my biases cloud my judgement. At best Saitama was planetary maybe even star level if you wank him, Popeye on the other hand ignored God turning off the universe and beat up his own animator, what in the actual fuck was Saitama was supposed to do to that? I this fight was even more accurate Saitama should have been the one getting one punched from the beginning, like the Korra vs Storm fight, this shouldn't have been a fight, it's a one sided stomp and probably one of the biggest stomps in DB. At least us Saitama fans can accept a loss gracefully and admit that this fight was fucking awesome.

Your down playing the earth tilting feat, but also some of the feats you're mentioning do involve cartoon b.s as you put it.

@@gamingtoast7974 I think you're confusing toonforce with visual gags. Popeye damaged the sun with physical force. The sun getting a black eye was just a funny way to visualize it. Think about that time Squidward got flattened by a boulder SpongeBob ran him over with in Pizza Delivery. Squidward doesn't have reality warping toonforce abilities, but that squash and stretch was a funny way to visualize that he could indeed survive getting run over by a boulder.

When you think about it, literally any feat of Popeye’s by itself far outclasses all of Saitama’s put together. Popeye has given the Sun a black eye, beat the crud out of a literal 7th dimensional being, and has bullied and beat up his own animator, who’s in the real world.

Go watch the show if you want to see Saitama win.

[@onilink0thefur]

Normally I'm with you guys, but the salt is real. I love Saitama, but I went into this knowing he had no chance. It's the same as Deadpool and the Mask. Toons win, it's not fair, but the fight itself was fantastic, and they respected Saitama enough to give him that glorious moment of happiness, something he will likely never get anywhere else

[@futuregadgetlabmember5320]

Popeye is essentially Superman and Deadpool combined. Broken power with fourth wall awareness.

[@AmateurAnimations65]

Sorry to say, I think this is one of the only times Death battle is objectively right. Saitama's whole schtick is that he's insanely strong, tough, and fast, but not only does Popeye have feats that trump all of those traits, his hax is ridiculous. He could negate Saitama's durability by just turning Saitama into inanimate objects, and surviving universal erasure makes Popeye so tough none of Saitama's punches, which at the very most would be solar system level, could realistically even hurt him. And even if you equalize their stats and still say Saitama one shots, Popeye can just say no to death by eating spinach, which he can also pull out of literally nowhere. So even if Saitama could put Popeye down, he had no reliable way to keep him down, and Saitama's own kit is far too limited and basic to keep up with Popeye's sheer versatility and hax. Personally, I love Saitama way more than Popeye, One Punch Man is one of my all time favorite series, but much like with Deadpool vs the Mask, the power of Toonforce is just absolute bs in a vs debate setting. Anyway, tangent aside, I still really liked your reaction, and it was fun seeing you laugh at the more hilarious moments in the episode. Have a good day and a merry Christmas

[@wolfie_3652]

Nope

[@kagato23]

I would argue the actual ending of this fight is reality shatters, and Popeye shakes his head, grabs a can of paint, starts re-drawing reality into place, and tosses Saitama who was briefly unconscious but not dead a can. Saitama punches the can and a huge chunk of reality comes back into place from the explostion, and then he asks Popeye for another one. Popeye mumbles " Thisks is gettins to be ridkulous" and the scene ends.

[@QJD1381]

[@fourthhorsemendeath218]

Yeah, I love Saitama but he's doomed. Toonforce is broken

[@Nightly-Flare]

24:07 Well if you want the short answer, Popeye beats pretty much EVERY version of Superman considering Popeyes feats If you want the long answer, toon force is one of the most broken powers a character can have because they don’t have to abide by the laws of physics and essentially can do literally anything they want. Most characters abide by rules of reality, even the strongest reality warping characters always abide by the limits of reality. With toon force characters, they don’t have to because that’s just how cartoons worked. Nothing was stopping popeye from punching saitama into eggs. All saitama can do is punch really hard, which popeye can easily recover from since he can just eat spinach even if he’s dead or erased. Saitama has no win conditions on most toon force users because of how broken toon force is as a power

Funny you should say about Popeye vs Superman, because it already happened against a pre-crisis version of Superman.

[@jamestomato1744]

It's fairly simple why Saitama lost, cause Popeye's got some mad toonforce hax. Dude could somehow survive being erased and turned into nothingness and still function and revive himself using spinach...somehow. Coupled with his ability to shrug of reality being removed, there's literally nothing that Saitama could've done to finish him off, while Popeye could've turned him into...say...a thousand eggs and that'd be the end of Saitama. Hell, all the one punch man, and anime fans in general I've seen comments from all mostly agree that Popeye wins this fight due to the fact that he's not constrained by the limits of being "grounded" and "semi-realistic". He just is whatever he needs to be, and so has some mind-bending and reality breaking feats. I get that he's called the One Punch Man, and that his joke is that he beats all his opponents in one punch. But that doesn't mean he has some innate cosmic ability to hit something once, regardless of force/effort, and make it die at a conceptual level. As stated by his own creator, he just has a really high ceiling for his power, above everyone else in his universe (which for some reason you guys seemed to have ignored). Unlike Popeye who is basically the epitome of "yeah, well fuck you I can turn myself into a sandwich now. Deal with it".
