Importance Of Overestimating Saitama

top overestimating Saitama's ability. Just stop. An example would be: *Goku is Japanese for Wukong. Why is his relevant? Because Goku is the spirit of adventure. Even as a young kid, he journeyed and faced the impossible, even surpassing a man who could obliterate the moon. Recently, in Dragon Ball Super, Goku went faster than the infinite flow of time and space itself. If you overestimate Saitama, why underestimate Goku?
