One Punch Man - Reaction - S1E3 - The Obsessive Scientist

[@bdquinlan]

This episode starts to show how Genos is always paying attention to Saitama and trying to emulate him without specifically pointing it out. Last episode, Saitama told Genos to summarize his story in 20 words or less and used 'Consecutive Normal Punches'; this episode, Genos told the ape cyborg to use 20 words or less and hit Carnage Kabuto with 'Machine Gun Blows', which is basically just 'Consecutive Normal Punches' with a cooler name.

[@123newjersey3]

oh wowww, i never realized that. great catch dude

[@TheReactPack]

I love how much Genos looks up to him! It’s adorable! -Sam

[@lamie0237]

I knew that from the twenty words or less, but the machine gun blows I never even thought of

[@coolkid7377]

I don’t think machine gun blow was inspired from consecutive punch. I think that’s just a move for genos

[@slowflowsen498]

the machine gun blows thing is possible but don't overlook that Genos was still having his own fight in the split second that Saitama fought back and punched the Beast King.

[@skribe]

the crab at the supermarket was what triggered his memory of the crab guy thats all there is to that. but ppl do have a theory that just like the crab guy ate a lot of crab to become a crab guy, saitama working out a lot made him stronger and its just what you focus on.

[@abilawaandamari8366]

You know because they added a canon characters that can grant you powers in the manga. I'm starting to think that the whole crab guy and saitama's power isn't nonsense. Like I'm beginning to believe that being obsessed with something in this universe makes you literally that one thing you are obsessed with.

[@azeTrom17]

Well but there are tons of guys obsessed with being stronger

[@notbakingcakes660]

theres also stuff about surpassing your "limiter", which saitama has done and eventually garou

[@azeTrom17]

@@notbakingcakes660 Right, it isn't just dedication. Plenty of people had Saitama levels of desire to become stronger--look at mumen rider. He hasn't gotten evern a bit stronger.

[@tobiaswedin]

@@azeTrom17 I think the difference is striving for something (the case with Mumen Rider) and being obsessed (like Crablante and Saitama). Plus, even if other people with powers has had their driving force being getting stronger the key thing is phrasing and Saitama's specific obsession was to beat enemies with one punch. That is not limited to getting stronger than the previous you, it's low diffing whatever strength or power you face.

Hi Morgan and Sam! In japanese "kabuto" means "helmet" as you said at the end of the video, in fact it's a word used to refer to the samurai's typical helmet. However you were close by saing that it means "beetle" because it's also the abbreviation of "kabutomushi" which is the japanese rhinoceros beetle, the animal that inspired the character in the show! Btw your videos are always super fun, keep it up!

[@TheNewYouTubeHandlesAreDumb]

And the kabutogani, horseshoe crab, which is what the pokemon "Kabutops" is based on.

[@Timmycoo]

Wow that makes so much sense for the Pokemon Kabutops lol.

[@KurNorock]

People always miss the point behind the training. It wasn't the amount it the difficulty of the training that made him strong. It was the fact that he kept doing it despite his body falling apart and despite the pain. It was his tenacity to push through the limits of his body that unlocked his limits. He "broke" his "limiter".

[@123newjersey3]

Did you guys know? It's been scientifically confirmed that if you do 100 push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and 100 laps, you'll be strong enough to blow buildings up with One Punch. *(Not Clickbait. Source: Trust me bro.)*

[@antoniomolina3612]

That punch that blasted a whole in the chamber was significantly stronger than the one he hit with Kabuto. The strength he displays so casually is so crazy and so funny at the same time Lmao

[@davidnobre5660]

@@antoniomolina3612 I don't think he has full control of his strength obviously he hit the wall with more power because that wall was holding Kabuto, which means the wall was much stronger than Kabuto, but I don't think Saitama even noticed the difference in power from both punches, he just does it by feeling xD

[@antoniomolina3612]

@@davidnobre5660 I think quite the contrary he has excellent control and restraint over his power, he can throw a punch that splits clouds over the earth, and the next minute he only punches hard enough to knock out the Snake Hero guy from episode 4 I think it was. He seems extremely good at knowing just how much strength to input into a punch to achieve the result he wants. Which is very interesting.

[@Opsity]

@@antoniomolina3612 Also he didn't even kill the two little minions outside his house from episode 2, he just knocked them into the ground. I think that was the first sign of him having complete control

[@TheRealRealMClovin]

Fun fact: Saitama training program is actually impossible to make, as there was some Olympics coaches and others who have said that if you followed this program to the point, in 3 weeks, a month or maybe more. You would actually die out of exhaustion and dying with body sutting down. So Saitama is just incredible that he survived that. Also if you think about it is intense training program. 100 pushups. 100 situps. 100 squats. and finally the most crazy one, to run 10km(6,2 miles for you Americans;) ). It's no problem if you do this ones, will probably just be really exhausted and body hurting the next day, The problem do this every single day for months or years without break any break. Hell when I do like only 1-2 hours gym pass one day and it will hurt and exhaust my body for like 1-2 days.

[@causticgrip8329]

You have to think of Saitama not as a character but as more of a elemental force or a cosmic background. Other side-characters are the true 'heroes' of this show.

[@richardohanlon3036]

We're so used to stories in which the main character undergoes change by coming into contact with and learning from members of the supporting cast but some of the best stories ever told do the opposite, releasing an unchanging, immovable rock of a person onto a world of side characters who all change and grow as a result of meeting them. Really great to see done well, huh.

[@causticgrip8329]

@@richardohanlon3036 Exactly!

[@Junior2000625]

Lol Saitama is a true hero i know what you're getting at but could of phrased it differently.

[@causticgrip8329]

@@Junior2000625 I think that the reason why Saitama feels so hollow and dead inside is because his "heroism" has taken a backseat in his life as he grew stronger. A hero is someone who knows they're gonna die, not just someone who takes risks. Not every soldier who goes to a war is a hero, but every soldier who uses their body to protect others from a grenade is a hero. Now this is my definition of heroism--and you can disagree with it. By that definition I only see a couple of real heroes in the show. Mumen Rider being #1. Saitama is just a God-level super entity. Heroism doesn't really come into play for him; just mild curiosity. But if you're talking about a 'narrative hero', then sure, he's the protagonist.

[@jlinkous05]

@@Junior2000625 The story isn't about Saitama, it's about everyone else. *Spoiler* The only thing we're waiting on in the anime regarding Saitama is a description on how he somehow broke the normal power limit when it takes everybody else willingly becoming a monster to have a chance at it. Without a power limit, every bit of his full training was just as effective as the first bits instead of slowing and plateauing over time. Imagine if you could just keep doing pushups until your arms were bigger than a beach ball and then you could do more pushups and your arms just kept getting bigger

[@Berndkwow]

Crab guy eat too much crabs and turn into a crab. Saitama trained too much and turned into a strongest man. Its just how this universe works.

I think his fight with the crab man was just to show that Saitama chose to be a hero even before he had powers, when he was still a regular guy. The crab man was not important, other than being his first fight. Then he just coincidentally became extremely powerful during the time he was going through normal training.

100 push ups 100 sit ups and 100 squats 10km run was to surpass his body's physical limitations that combined with his desire to be a hero who could defeat his enemies with one punch created the conditions for gaining the power he wanted like the crab guy and the engine guy

[@JacopoBasanisi]

6:50 every episode of OPM is like an entire season of every shonen

[@TheBetabox]

The real source of Saitama's power is that he exceeded his "limiter", so to speak. By doing his workout regimen EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. for THREE YEARS, as well as the psychological training of not using heat or A/C, he pushed himself mentally to where most people would feel at their "breaking point"...and then he continued on, he moved past it. Now in his own mind he has no limits. Have you ever tried something requiring physical skill or prowess and failed, painfully? And then someone else goes and tries it without thinking twice and succeeds? Imagine how you would conduct your life, how you would behave when faced with challenges or seemingly impossible odds, if you actually fully and truly believed that no matter what you were faced with you could surpass that challenge, and do so easily. Also: I'm confident in asserting that IF someone, anyone, were to do 100 pushups, 100 squats, 100 crunches, and a 10 km run every single day without fail for 1,095 days that they would be quite the physical specimen.
