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? Toriyama himself admitted Majin Buu was invincible and indestructible, but Goku erased him. We don't assume that for Goku, so why Saitama? Stop wanking Saitama. I didn't want to be like this, but I need to end this jerk. He may be the "One Punch Man" and his author might have intended him to be invincible but that won't …show more content…
The first I'm sure you'll agree with me on: One Punch Man is awesome. The animation is great, the destructive scale of Saitama's power is beautiful, and the parody is solidly delivered. The second is a little harder; Saitama doesn't automatically win. He's never beat King, an opponent in the webcomic defeats him solely because he can't fly, and he will never get that god-damned bug. And this is OK. It's better than OK, it's GREAT. Saitama is a parody character that exists both to lampoon the overpowered characters in other anime, and to show us that being stronger than everyone doesn't solve most problems in life. It's OK for him to lose. It's fine for there to be other people in different universes who can wreck him. They're never going to show up in his series. The joke isn't diminished by the fact that when Azathoth wakes from his slumber, Saitama will never have existed. The joke is not diminished by the fact that Franklin Richards could trap Saitama in a pocket universe without Saitama being aware that anything had even happened. Some fictional characters are vastly more powerful than Saitama will ever be. And it's not a problem to admit that. It doesn't diminish the joke. Pretending the joke is serious business? That diminishes the joke. You diminish the joke. So stop
