Saitama

Saitama

Saitama (サイタマ, Saitama) is the main protagonist of One Punch-Man and the most powerful hero of all. Due to his superhuman condition, Saitama faces an existential crisis, as he is now too strong, being able to defeat his opponents with a single blow, so he finds his battles boring and emotionless. He registered with the Hero Association, where he is given the name Cloaked Bald (ハゲマント, Hagemanto). Having started at the bottom of Class-C, he is currently in Class-A, occupying rank 39. He is tasked with defending City-Z against the kaijin.

Appearance

He is a bald, ordinary-looking man with a thin but well-built physique, and is of average height and weight. Saitama initially had spiky black hair, but claims to have suddenly and prematurely lost all of his hair as a result of the toll his hero body had taken on his body. Saitama also has brown eyes which are represented as dots. Saitama is usually deliberately drawn in a simpler style than all other characters, with an elliptical-shaped head and only a basic mouth and eyes. When drawn in a more serious style with more detail, Saitama is revealed to have sharp features, fearsome eyes, and chiseled musculature. Even her posture undergoes a metamorphosis, with a relaxed posture and inclined elbows when she is relaxed, while she has a stretched posture and square shoulders when she is serious. Her outfit is a plain yellow jumpsuit with a short zipper on the neck, along with a black belt with a round gold buckle in the center. He wears red gloves that go up 3/4 of his forearm and red boots that go up 3/4 of his shins. His costume is finished off with a white cape, which is fastened to his shoulders with black circular fasteners.

Personality

Saitama is an indifferent person. Even the most powerful enemies do not pose any challenge to him, so he does not take hero work seriously and longs for an opponent who can provide him with a challenge. The lack of such opponents has led him to suffer a self-imposed existential crisis, and he claims that his ability to feel any and all emotions has greatly diminished. The combination of his attitude, his immeasurable strength, and his "unimpressive" appearance often makes his battles become anti-climactic. Saitama will usually allow his opponents to boast about his motives and enter into his strongest forms, before eliminating them with a punch. However, Saitama has little patience for long explanations and frequently interrupts the speaker. According to his standards, the ideal monologue or explanation should consist of 20 words or less. A peculiar characteristic about Saitama is his inability to remember people's faces and names, as seen when he forgot the name Sonic Speed ​​of Sound,[3] or when he could not remember who Tanktop Tiger was.[1] Because of this, he sometimes ends up pronouncing people's names incorrectly.

Saitama has been shown to be very humble, as he purposely let the masses turn against him so that the defeated heroes would receive credit for their efforts, even claiming that they had weakened the Deep Sea King before his arrival. He did the same with the police station, killing a monster disguised as a police officer, even knowing that he would have gained a lot of fame if he had revealed who he really was. He also didn't mind that King took credit for all of his accomplishments. Despite the humble nature of him, he still has some sense of pride, as he wants to hit Garou after realizing that the latter does not want to attack him during his hero hunt just because he is a low-ranking hero who It is not worthy of being hunted. However, Saitama's desire to hit Garou comes primarily from his desire for an exciting and challenging fight, not from his pride as a hero.

Another surprising thing about Saitama is that he is very tactful and insightful, and is able to discern situations and character traits of people and the environment around him quite easily. After having picked up several clues about Sonic himself in their first meeting and the true intentions of two heroes members of the Tank Topper Army when they jealously plotted a ploy to ruin him after the meteor event[1] and there were angry heroes and selfish as they are, as well as discerning Fubuki's forced offer of submission or destruction just before his rebuke about how the world of heroes really works than about its current execution.[4] Saitama has been shown to show respect to his enemies, particularly those who can give him a "decent" fight and not fall in one hit. An example of this is Boros, whom Saitama sympathized with because he suffered similar circumstances, although in the end Boros failed to bring out Saitama's full potential.

Saitama doesn't really care if people insult him, and usually ignores them and argues that they need a hobby; The only insult that can cause a reaction is when someone mentions his baldness. He has shown distaste towards his officially assigned hero name, "Caped Bald". Thus, even after receiving it, he always refers to himself by his own name. He also shows some concern when it comes to offers and deals, as seen when he fought Asura Kabuto, where he was more surprised to realize that he was going to lose a bargain from the supermarket, rather than the transformation his had undergone. opponent and that he was savagely beating him.[5] Despite his general indifference towards most things, Saitama was genuinely surprised when he realized that no one really knew about him, despite his accomplishments, curious as to why he has no fans. This reaction shows that while he's not necessarily involved in hero work for fame, he's certainly not opposed to it. Another joke is that Saitama takes pride in higher rankings, such as when he became irritated when Genos made a list of all the comments made by fans about how amazing Genos is in his eyes. Saitama demonstrates impressive restraint with his power, considering that he is able to split the sky easily, or jump from the moon to the earth.[6] He manages to defeat almost all of his opponents with a single blow, although occasionally causing more devastation than necessary. While he has no problem killing monsters, Saitama does not kill humans, and only uses enough force to knock them out. Becoming a hero has always been Saitama's dream. Before becoming one, he used to feel frustrated by society just like Hammerhead.

Although Saitama appears disinterested and apathetic, he is capable of demonstrating strong emotions that he releases impulsively, although shortly afterward he regains his composure and returns to his characteristic indifferent face. Saitama has stated that he is not interested in making friends and is generally very unsociable. Despite this, he has demonstrated an ability to connect with people and generate bonds with them even if this is involuntary on his part. Even after registering in the Hero Association, Saitama continues to show disinterest in his work as a hero without anything that really catches his attention. Despite this he manages to always arrive at the scene of the conflict, although he always arrives late or for some reason deviates from his route until he arrives (by accident) at the scene and resolves the situation. Although he may initially rub people the wrong way and rarely show his emotions to others, that does not mean that Saitama does not show concern for the people around him or his physical or mental well-being. On some occasions, she has helped people with their mental problems, such as a suicidal man who wanted to jump off a building and gave words of encouragement to Fubuki about how she should not seek the approval of others, but rather live her life as she wanted. He promised Tareo that he would stop Garou without killing him, and praised Genos after the cyborg saved Tatsumaki by stating that his heart had become stronger.

During the Dark Future, after the death of Genos and other heroes at the hands of Garou, Saitama becomes discouraged and questions his own intuition as a hero, stating that he tends to arrive too late. Quickly, this changes and he is replaced by a calm anger, where he decides to no longer hold back against Garou. Genos' death also causes Saitama to lose any potential excitement in facing the Hero Hunter, even though he considers Garou to be a strong opponent who can give him a challenging fight, demonstrating his depression at the passing of the Hero. disciple of him. Garou later comments on how people as strong as him and Saitama need others to act as anchors to hold on to so they can remain sane, indicating that such power not only causes unrest due to the lack of challenges, but also the The sense of isolation that both he and Saitama feel is enough to drive anyone that strong crazy. Saitama has proven to be a good figure for other people, both heroes and villains. His influence caused Genos to silence his desire for revenge and begin to focus on training to become a good and strong hero. He has also made insecure people like Fubuki and Glasses face his challenges and become better heroes. Saitama also advises King to train and become truly strong, instead of getting upset that the latter stole credit for the battles from him. As Genos points out, Saitama "attracts the strong", as many powerful heroes and villains have come to like him. This is due to his lack of interest in the ranking of heroes and the fame that attracts them.

Skills/Powers

Saitama is the protagonist of One Punch-Man and the strongest character in the series. So far, no enemy has been able to hurt him in any way, and almost no enemy is able to survive a single serious hit. A few enemies have survived his blows, such as any human he has hit (obviously with no intention of killing) and Boros, who Saitama empathized with and tempered his strength to give Boros an exciting and satisfying fight. Saitama's only power is that his body is far beyond human limits, allowing him to achieve astonishing physical feats. His strength is so great that he greatly eclipses even artificial beings designed or bred specifically for superhuman combat, such as mechanical beings or the mutated warriors of the House of Evolution. Since no enemy has posed a real challenge to Saitama, the upper limit of his strength is probably even higher than it currently appears. While his powers are only limited to intensely human characteristics (Saitama cannot fly, fire energy blasts, or perform any supernatural feats), such superhuman abilities make up for the lack of variety in his powers.

The origin of Saitama's immense strength is mysterious and unclear. Although he tells everyone that he gained his incredible power through mere physical training, no one believes it at all. According to Saitama, after a year and a half of 100 daily push-ups, sit-ups and squats plus 10 km of daily running, he had reached a certain level of superhuman strength. This training was apparently so intense for Saitama that at times he felt like he might die, which he claims was what caused all of his hair to suddenly fall out. Apparently, he continued training him for another year and a half before beginning his career as a hero. Genos believes that Saitama does not really know or understand how he gained his power, and hopes to learn the secret by being trained by him and observing him, while Dr. Genus believes that by following such a demanding training regimen, Saitama managed to remove his Limiter. It should be noted that Saitama would complete all parts of his training one after the other without interruptions, and he was fighting monsters that appeared during that time, which would have made completing it more difficult than would normally be expected. Despite his incredible physical prowess, he can be outclassed by people with skills in some areas outside of combat, such as when he was outclassed by Bang in the game of Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Furthermore, he also appears to have a normal human appetite, as he lost to Genos in a spicy noodle eating contest and despite his immeasurable speed and reflexes, he lacks the precision to kill even a simple mosquito or put on a helmet before being hit by a toy hammer or hold said object before his opponent manages to cover himself.

Physical Skills

Immeasurable Strength: Saitama possesses disproportionately enormous physical strength and is thus able to effortlessly defeat powerful monsters and villains with a single blow. A punch from Saitama is so powerful that many enemies simply explode or disintegrate when hit. He is also shown to be able to effortlessly destroy large structures. An example of this offensive power is when Saitama launches himself from the top of a building to hit the Giant Meteor. A "normal" punch from him has proven to be fatal to a being as durable as Boros. Saitama has further shown that he is capable of controlling the force of his attacks, but still tends to overdo it at times, causing massive devastation. Enhanced Jump: His inability to fly is partially offset by her ability to use his strength to jump to great heights and distances. This can be demonstrated when he crashed his head through the ceiling of a gym. He was also able to crush a building and ended up jumping out of it. His greatest feat, in this regard, was when he jumped off the surface of the moon and ended up on Earth at a specified point.

Improved Strike: His best weapon is by far the immeasurable power of his blows, which can be capable of completely disintegrating any kaijin or opponent he comes into contact with. Despite possessing devastating power, Saitama seems to have partial control over this hitting force because although most of the time he gets frustrated when his opponents fall with a single blow, there have been occasions in which he is able to control his hitting force. hit like when in the national hero registry exam when measuring Saitama's hitting strength he left the force measurement machine unusable instead of destroying it completely. Normally the power of his blows can be so powerful that the single air pressure could devastate an area in its path, as when in his practice fight with Genos, even though the blow did not connect against the cyborg, its pressure was enough. strong enough to disintegrate the entire mountain that was behind Genos.

Immeasurable Speed ​​and Reflexes: Saitama was able to complete a 1,500-meter dash in an instant three times in a row during his hero trials. He has been shown capable of maintaining a speed much faster than Sonic, who is capable of moving at hypersonic speeds. Even Genos' computerized tracking systems have difficulty tracking him due to how fast he moves. Saitama has also demonstrated the ability to run down a building to save a piece of salmon he had for lunch and jump back up said building without anyone noticing that he had done so. He was able to easily dodge some of the extremely fast attacks of Boros, Gouketsu and Orochi, and even managed to dodge some of the attacks of Monster Garou, who was able to block and deflect Atomic Samurai's Atomic Slash technique and Flashy's Flashy Kick. Flash, as well as managing to confront the powerful Golden Sperm. Ironically, despite his incredible reflexes and speed he still has trouble swatting a simple mosquito or picking up an object like a helmet or a hammer when playing rock, paper, scissors.

Afterimages: Saitama is so fast that he leaves afterimages when moving at high speeds, and is agile enough to dodge Beast King's attacks. After assaulting Saitama with a barrage of punches in practice fighting him, Genos realized that he was fighting afterimages of him. When he intervened in Sonic and Genos' fight in Garou's Hero Hunt Arc, he demonstrated that he can produce a destructive aura with afterimages, managing to paralyze Sonic and he fell to the ground wounded and defeated, reflecting on Saitama's power. . Supernatural Prowess: Saitama is able to move any of his limbs at extremely fast speeds without even flinching, not stopping until his target is completely destroyed. This is seen when Saitama perfectly hits all the moles in a Whack-A-Mole machine and destroys it during the Hero Association exam. Supernatural Agility: Saitama has proven to be perfect at dodging or catching all attacks. Saitama's reflexes make him flexible enough to move through the narrowest streams and dodge attacks at the closest proximity.

Immense Stamina: Saitama has never been shown to tire when fighting villains. Even when he unleashed a blow more powerful than a planet-destroying attack, Saitama showed no signs of fatigue. The only time Saitama was shown to be panting and out of breath, he recovered only seconds later. Pain Suppression: Even before becoming powerful, Saitama was able to suppress pain during his battles. Psychic Resistance: Fubuki noted that Saitama is immune to certain psychic attacks and highly resistant to others, due to his amazing willpower. Super Natural Senses: Saitama's senses are far beyond the human norm. However, Saitama's senses do not have the same degree of 'resolution' as some of Genos' sensors, which can detect and distinguish enemies at a greater distance. Still, he possesses impressively sharp hearing, being able to pick up various chatter from spectators at a good distance, even while fighting monsters and the like.

Invulnerability: Saitama has proven to be immune to all types of attacks or weapons of mass or planetary destruction, not even psychic or magical attacks have presented a danger to him. It has been seen that he can survive in extremely dangerous atmospheres without any problem, even the gravity of a black hole was nothing to him. In fact, it seems that not even his own excessive strength is able to make him blink like when he saw himself hitting himself to try to kill the mosquito that was on his face, the same blow that ended up killing Mosquito Girl. Enhanced Lung Capacity: Although Saitama cannot breathe in outer space, he has considerable control over his breathing as he managed to hold it effortlessly, and even jumped back to Earth from the Moon in seconds without showing any signs of suffocation. It also takes some time for Saitama to realize that he is in a vacuum environment, although it doesn't seem to have much of an effect on him. Vacuum Adaptation: Saitama's body has been shown to survive the effects of a vacuum unscathed. Several factors such as lack of atmosphere are at play here, although Saitama has not been able to be affected by any of them.

Heat Immunity: Saitama is immune to all types of heat-based attacks. In fact, it is immune to thermal energy in general. When Genos created a huge spherical explosion of flame to kill Mosquito Girl's mosquitoes, Saitama stands over him completely unharmed and unfazed (although his clothes were destroyed). Furthermore, after Boros, in his full-powered state, struck Saitama on the Moon, Saitama, unharmed in the process, jumped back to Earth in just a few seconds, and upon re-entering the atmosphere, his Clothes began to burn, but he remained unharmed. Another example of his immunity to heat is when he took the combined fire breath attack of Orochi's dragons, which were able to lift large parts of Z City's terrain and vaporize the rock around it, and also the energy attacks of Overgrown Rover that are capable of simultaneously vaporizing two Ogre-level kaijin and blowing up large parts of the Monster Association headquarters, emerging unfazed from said attacks.

Fighting Style

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Due to his incredible superhuman physical condition, Saitama is an extraordinarily powerful and dangerous fighter in hand-to-hand combat. After three years of intense training and fighting against countless criminals, kaijin, and evil organizations, he not only gained unparalleled power, but also developed a large amount of combat skills through combat experience. Due to his boredom, he often uses poor attacks that lack finesse or style; However, once serious, he becomes a very competent and cunning fighter. Saitama uses basic fighter moves and street fighting techniques to grapple and take down his enemies, having excellent battlefield awareness, and is able to read the moves of highly skilled warriors such as Boros and Garou, the former being a universal emperor. with centuries of experience and the last one a martial arts prodigy.

Saitama's Techniques

Normal Series: Normal Series: Saitama's Normal Series consists of techniques in which he makes no effort to attack. Although his attacks are weak in this style, most opponents tend to be eliminated easily due to Saitama's extreme strength and speed. Known techniques: "Consecutive Normal Punches" (連続普通のパンチ, Renzoku Futsuu no Panchi): Saitama unleashes a volley of astonishingly fast punches with his right arm. These blows have been shown to be powerful enough to blow strong or large body types into pieces. Depending on the power of the attack, this technique can occur in an instant. The first time he uses them was against Beast King, completely destroying the mutant's torso, the second time he is shown is in the fight against Boros. "Normal Consecutive Two-Handed Strikes" (両手・連続普通のパンチ, Ryōte Renzoku Futsū no Panchi): Saitama launches a volley of rapid strikes from both hands. First used against Monster Garou.

Severe Deadly Series: Severe Mortal Series (必殺マジシリーズ, Hissatsu Majishirīzu): Saitama's Severe Mortal Series consists of techniques in which he strives to attack. While he normally hits without putting much effort, when Saitama gets serious in a fight, his techniques become tremendously powerful. Known techniques: "Serious Blow" (マジ殴り, Maji Naguri): Saitama delivers an extremely powerful blow. He is so powerful that he completely nullifies Boros' Collapsing Star Cannon, a beam capable of destroying an entire planet. It was powerful enough to split clouds on a global scale, completely shatter the spaceship's energy sphere, and deliver the final final blow to Boros, all with just the shockwave of the blow. The dying Boros also stated that Saitama's fatal attack on him was not even close to Saitama's true power, and that Saitama was not even trying. He was also able to completely disintegrate the Elder Centipede, a powerful Dragon-level threat as soon as it came into direct contact with the attack. "Omnidirectional Grave Strike" (全方位マジ殴り, Zenhōi Maji Naguri): Saitama moves through multiple angles, creating a series of afterimages to finish off with a Grave Strike. First time used against Garou Cosmic Terror Mode, who tried to flee through a portal to avoid the attack. "Serious Side Jumps" (マジ反復横とび, Maji Hanpukuyokotobi): Saitama jumps from side to side quickly. If he does so, he allows you to create a multitude of afterimages. It has been shown that he can advance forward while he does so, and the shockwave caused by that was enough to break Sonic's Burial of Ten Shadows.

"Serious Table Flip" (マジちゃぶ台返し, Maji Chabudai-Gaeshi): Saitama buries his fingertips in the ground and with one throw flips the entire battlefield, throwing debris and opponents into the air, the throwing force is such that it can alter the sense of balance of those who are the targets of this technique, in the words of Garou himself he describes the sensation as being inside a bird cage being shaken. Which could be said that the main purpose of this technique is to disorient those who suffer from it. "Serious Sneeze" (マジ嚔, Maji Kushami): During the fight against Garou on Io, Saitama's strength increases exponentially enough to devastate a planet the size of Jupiter with a simple sneeze. "Serious Head Blow" (マジ頭突き, Maji Zudzuki) Saitama aims and hits the enemy with his head. He first used the technique to counter a blow from Garou, destroying the human-turned-kaijin's arm in the process.

Miscellaneous Skills

Indomitable Will: Perhaps his most notable trait, the main reason he was able to survive the three years of his training fighting all kinds of evil before obtaining his powers was because of his will and desire to become a hero. It is most evident in the flashback of his hero training regimen even if he was in great pain, or could barely move, or was vomiting blood, he continued training him. It has been theorized that it was his will that allowed him to become the hero he is now through sheer force of will and effort, breaking his natural limiter.
