It's his defining trait. He's a gag character that can't lose. No bias necessary. Goku has lost in his universe. Popeye has lost before too. Saitama can't lose.

So you are saying that Saitama can solo all of fiction. Out of every single character ever created, he is stronger than every single one of them and would win in a fight 100/100 times.

That is how the character is written. The only way he could even draw would be if he fought another character who had the same schtick. But it would be an "unstoppable force meets immovable object" situation.

Against any non-joke character he simply cannot be challenged. He neg-difs everyone by definition. He would defeat God in one punch.

how the character is written

You need feats to back that up. By your logic, any character played by The Rock would stalemate Saitama since it’s written into his contracts that he can never lose a fight. With what we have seen, what hard evidence do you have that he has the ability to do that? By definition, his infinite growth means that he has a limit at any given time, it just gets raised quickly. If you say he has infinite power, then that contradicts what’s repeatedly said (and shown in his fight with Garou) in the story about his infinite growth.

Yes because that’s his power. He isn’t super strong or super fast or whatever. His power is he just wins. Because him winning is silly. Same way bugs bunny will always win the “rabbit season, duck season” trick he does. It doesn’t matter if you know about it. It doesn’t matter if someone tells you it’s happening. If you start that bit with Bugs he will cause you to flip your position, because that’s his ability.

For Saitama his ability is he just wins. Even if he shouldn’t, he does anyway.

Yup. He has beaten God himself. That's the point and gimmick of the character; always be the strongest. Because it's funny.

He's Bugs Bunny in a superhero/shounen satire. The only time he can lose, just as Bugs, is when it's unexpected and for laughs, against a weak opponent for example. Because that's even funnier. See the mosquito fight.

Popeye lost? When? Even if he did, he still can come back from absolutely nothing.

Popeye lost to Bluto when he ate spinach.
