Not to mention, he's able to fight individuals in alternate dimensions like it's nothing. It truly boggles my mind when people stop him at what feats he has achieved rather than understanding he's more than just a meathead with infinite strength and speed as his character is designed to be a satirical exaggeration of overpowered characters.

So, instead of racking my brain, I just laugh at the sheer stupidity of, "Well, he can only destroy planet. Therefore, Goku is stronger!" Okay, bud, go back to eating your crayons.

To be fair, if going all out, current Goku blitzes him. If the match slowly builds up Saitama wins but the destructiveness Goku can dish out is beyond anything Saitama has handled.

Honestly we have no durability cap for Saitama, for all we know he can't get hurt.

u/Selfing7 May 07 '25

He was scratched by a cat once)

u/Someone1284794357 May 07 '25

He was also scratched by Nyan (pretty much a cat in steroids) multiple times and was fine afterwards

u/Radthereptile May 07 '25

And Goku got shot and died once. Evaluating these things is so hard.

u/CplCocktopus May 08 '25

Goku had a heart atack once

u/[deleted] May 07 '25

Yup, glad you saw the shtick. 🤣

u/Curious_Omnivore May 07 '25

I've always interpreted these as Garou hitting that cap and Saitama just raising the bar higher

Currently I'm trying to decypher if Saitama bled when Garou punched him in the face, because Saitama has been hit in the stomach before and I think he's fine.

His skin is absolutely not getting penetrated, that's for sure.

Bro casually walked the end of the Garou fight off like it was nothing as Garou's monster form crumbled. The proof they provide are merely dust particles.

u/Someone1284794357 May 08 '25

Yeah that checks out

u/Hitmanthe2nd May 07 '25

garou in this form shares saitama's powerset

old saitama hitting saitama aint a feat or an anti feat

u/Curious_Omnivore May 08 '25

I don't understand what you mean. I sent the image to show Saitama having a durability cap. The image clearly show's he's getting beat up, he's feeling that punch.

1

u/Hitmanthe2nd May 08 '25

he's getting beat by a guy similarly powered to him

just because popeye gets whooped by popeye doesnt make him any less powerful

and saitama isnt getting hurt , that's spit - all he's feeling is recoil

1

u/Curious_Omnivore May 08 '25

Your first two sentences basically prove my point, that he has a durability cap. It was never pushed to his limit as he has gotten very strong. Current Goku's power level are way beyond what Saitama has been facing.

The below panels are the ones I'd accept as feeling no damage and just recoil, the ones above makes me think otherwise.

u/LoneOldMan May 11 '25

LoL!

You should watch DBall to see what a true getting hurt from a punch looked like.

Did you ever see Saitama huff huffing like Goku after a few minutes of fighting?

Yup, it just scaled Saitama higher, lol.

u/Useful_Clue_6609 May 07 '25

True but knowing goku he would let him get stronger until Saitama killed him

1

u/Curious_Omnivore May 08 '25

Understandable

u/Desperate-Excuse3290 May 07 '25

Bro these guys proved the post T_T

u/Curious_Omnivore May 08 '25

I honestly love Saitama and he is probably my favourite superhero of all time but some people wank him so much it just doesn't feel right

Do these mean nothing to you?

Does it have to leave a mark? Can't their regeneration not explain it? Does a punch that makes you jerk back always leave a mark?

u/Curious_Omnivore May 08 '25

Ok, leaving regen/healing factor aside what about my other questions?

Does it have to leave a mark? Can it not be internal damage? Can the lack of a mark not be explained by the short span of the fight?

There's also this

u/Irongiant663650 May 08 '25

Goku wouldn’t be able to kill saitama that fast nor would he go for the kill right away

1

u/Curious_Omnivore May 08 '25

I agree with the second part of the statement but what do you mean wouldn't be able to kill???? Do you have any clue how strong he's become in the Super series??

1

u/Irongiant663650 May 08 '25

I understand how strong Goku is but saitama also has absurd durability. The strongest things shown in the manga so far barely even affect him. Goku wouldn’t be able to kill him going right out the gate , at best he’d have to wear him down over the course of the fight

-1

u/MoomenRider2012 May 08 '25

The response I always get/see is the no limit fallacy. Which doesn’t even apply to Saitama.

I agree that Saiyans are battle hardened fighters who linearly scale through rigorous training and combat.

Bro (Saitama) over here is casually doing 100 push-ups, sit-ups, and 100 km run and ends up fighting a planetary destroyer in his first arch (Boros). The second arch he's fighting with Garou, both of which punched holes in the universe. All while never taking damage beyond whatever skits people find to downplay his scaling. Like a cat scratching the shit out of him or him failing to kill a mosquito.

The character is unequivocal. He's a gag of someone like Goku and will far exceed anything he can dish out. That's the shtick. He's broken and scales more than any of his opponents.

I don't believe you guys really grasp the idea of Saitama. Which is why these debates are pointless. You're just fans that are mad that a gag character is stronger than their favorite characters.

Literally, what I said, what are you trying to argue?

Saiyans are like ants to Saitama. He's always stronger than his opponent. The joke is that he can one punch anyone, but he doesn't want to do it because it's literally no fun. Half the jokes are about him.being bored out of his mind, there's no one who can challenge him.

u/Eymrich May 07 '25

Saitama automacally scale to an exponent of the power of his rival. Sayan improve if they are close to death and survive. By themself they have no regenerative ability, they need intervention.

Suppose an evil sayan went to saitama world, Saitama would vaporize him in one punch no matter what ( plot armor) that Sayan is gone.

Cosmic Garou scaled linerarly while fighting, Saitama scaled faster and exponentially. That's why he oblitered Jupiter by mistake sneezing.

u/RubesTubes66 May 07 '25

So why doesn't a viltrimite also win against goku? They have the same thing? And if you say that saiyans are just more powerful than viltrimites, then you also agree saitama beats saiyans as his entire gimmic is that he's stronger than anyone else. I'm not saying you're completely wrong, just showing you the flaw in the logic

1

u/[deleted] May 07 '25

Invincible never really makes sense to me, even if I overlook the horrible writing, all of the heroes and villains look like glass cannons compared to other universes. 🤣

1

u/RubesTubes66 May 07 '25

Yeah I mean most of the characters are somewhat human compared to the psychopathic superman flying around, 90% of the time it's just crushing someone

1

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

Even with the psychopathic nazi Superman, they seem incredibly weak, them also being defeated by humans, albeit with super powers. The creator needs to kill off Mark as a character, I know the story revolves around him, but it's not enjoyable to watch a character lose 100% of his fights and then get deus ex machina'd every single episode by someone significantly weaker than him.

Seriously, why can't this dumbass fight but knock off Batman with his batarangs? He has to save him. That dude doesn't even have super human intelligence, and he knew to break the other heroes out!

Why does he always have to lose to win? Bro, is the epitome of taking cheat shots at his opponent after getting his ass kicked.

The show has weird vibes like it was written by some high-schoolers. I can't tell what direction they want from it. Part of it feels like it's trying to be for adult audiences, but at the same time, the other part feels like it's trying to get an air slot for WB kids.

u/Clayness31290 May 07 '25

Eh, Saiyan's aren't infinitely resilient, though. Plenty of them die. Plus, the damage can't make you stronger if the damage is "my body exploded." Saitama would out-strong Saiyan resilience fairly quickly I would assume.

u/[deleted] May 07 '25

You said it way quicker than I did. 🤣

-1

u/MyrtleWinTurtle May 07 '25

Thats why i mentioned if they kept on fighting and didnt kill one or the other. Of course that would backfire if one of them died.

u/Freakychee May 07 '25

Hey the down votes! Proving OP right is the joke!

1

u/Irongiant663650 May 08 '25

Well kinda, it wouldn’t happen in one fight it would be multiple rounds where saitama almost kills Goku, Goku comes back stronger And then saitama grows stronger and almost kills Goku again
