Is one punch man really the strongest character to ever exist?

Is one punch man really the strongest character to ever exist?

Yeah, he's just a joke character tho. Not meant to be taken super seriously like that picture shows

No, Yahweh is.

>he's just a joke
>kills any character with a single punch no matter who or what

wat

This. Part of One Punch Man's entire joke is that he's meant to mock power level arguments and the silly one-upmanship they entail. He's the least-interesting character in his own series and has no real arc, and is surrounded by characters who are not only much more interesting and compelling than him, but also have personal arcs and stories going on.

People taking him seriously in X vs Y power level shit is basically just taking ONE's bait.

On one hand, yeah. On the other hand, what said.

He's a joke character.

ALWAYS remember that a character's power is purely decided on the whims of whoever is writing a story about them at the time. So making One Punch Man the most powerful character ever is as simple as typing out "One Punch Man punched Cthulhu and utterly destroyed him."

He trained so hard that he went bald and became a superhero.

How can that be anything but a joke?

Wooooosh

Thats the sound of it going completely over your head

...

>least-interesting character in his own series and has no real arc

I wouldn't say that. Saitama has his own character arc going on, it's just a bit more subtle than most of the other characters.

Until the next one dimensional meme-generating character gets released into the wild: sure.

This isn't Sup Forums, get your flavor of the month anime shit out of here.

Tatsumaki's legs have the most compelling arc.

The entire series is a satire of the super hero/shonen genre. How can "can beat anyone in a single punch, and constantly frustrated as a result because it's been ages since he's had anything approaching a challenge. Oh, also he's bald and not particularly impressive-looking and most of his heroic deeds have been attributed to somebody else" be anything other than a joke?

No, that would be Kurokami Medaka, Demonbane, Kumagawa Misogi, LoN, Tenchi, Chougasaki Gagamaru or Kumagawa Misogi. Possibly the Freshmaker.

Exactly. People who try to say "WHO IS STRONGER SUPERMAN OR SAITAMA" are missing the point of him.

>Literally explains the joke to try and prove it's not a joke

Not really. He's a planet buster. A sun buster if he could punch it. But we have infinity gauntlet Thanos and SSG Goku who are just beyond anything most Universes can put out.

Weebs get out.

Inb4 omg Sup Forums is an anime board, I'm allowed to be an offtopic weeb wherever I want!

>You aren't allowed to discuss anything I don't like!

Nah son. Saitama could definitley take out anyone, because that's his thing. He can take out anyone in one punch because he's a joke character from what is ultimately a comedy anime/manga. He's the weeb squirrel gir

if the artist designed him to be, how could he not?

A) You're missing the point.

B) It's an artifact title now. Boros survived a consecutive punches attack.

...

Nah, he still folded to a single proper punch.
If you look at his form when he swings his fist all throughout the show, he's always stiffly swinging from the shoulder down, not putting the chest, abdomen, hips, or legs into the motion. He's not really punching, just putting his arm out ridiculously fast. Several other times he just holds his fist out and lets the other person hit him, like with Speed o whatever's nuts or when he takes Boros' arm off. Consecutive Normal Punches is basically just a string of bitchslaps with no real leverage or followthrough behind them.

The moment he gets serious, though, he takes a proper stance and swings from the core, using his whole body and following through on the motion. That's the first and only time he actually threw a punch.

And probably the last time too, since it'd ruin the joke if he got to do that more often.

like his homo crush on the bicycle man

No. Popeye is.
/thread

>being retarded

>bickering over what exactly makes up a punch to justify the title
It's a joke series. A wonderful series in regards of writing and animation, but a joke series nonetheless.

I'm not bickering, really, I just like to think that scene was literally his One Punch. That's it, that's the only one he gets. Just the one. No tears, only nudges now.

>he doesn't read the ONE version

No. He'd get his ass kicked by the Flash. Or just anybody with the ability to travel through time.

Nope, sorry. Shit's just too damn ugly. I literally can't.

So where did he actually get his powers?

Rey with her eyes closed is the strongest

He did push ups, sit ups, squats and went running. Weren't you paying attention?

He trained so hard he got bald. It's in the first episode.

One day while trudging home from the Daily grind, he got in a scuffle with a lobster monster. He enjoyed the fight so much that he started working out with the intention of becoming a hero and gaining the strength to defeat any challenger.

Long story short, he succeeded, and now he's bored. And bald.

>What is death note

...

>wonderful series in regards of
So is Dragonball, but people spend a lot of time over analyzing that.

Dragonball is evidently not on the nose enough for people to get it.

Apparently One Punch isn't either, because this is happening.

Sounds like people need to take a page from Joshiraku

No, they are basically the same level of satire. DB has just been around longer, and is remembered primarily through the nostalgia-goggles of older millenials who were just the right level of angsty adolescent to not get the humor but think it's the "badass version of those kiddy superheroes I used to like." Guaranteed, 10 years from now, kids who are currently 8-14, and watching OPM right now, too angsty to get the satire, will overanalyze it and remember it seriously.

Does One Punch Man have dual daggers and/or twenty good men?

You n****** really need to stop incessantly claiming that One-punch man is a joke series: it's not. Just because it relies on an unusual premise, does not invalidate its rather well-developed character development (both for Saitama and other side-characters), excellent pacing, and consistent rules. It is a great story.

>n******

>Guaranteed, 10 years from now
don't need to wait, the retards are already doing that

>n******

I'm stealing this reaction picture

>twenty good men

...naggers?

Sounds like someone isn't AFOOKINLEGEND

Boros survived because he can regenerate from anything, and u get the feeling Saitama went easy on him or at least let the fight go on for a while, because he sympathized with his whole searching for somebody, anybody to be a challenge. When he finally decided to take him down, it only took the one punch to do so.

I fucking love OPM and the fights Saitama doesn't take part in really feed my chuuni, but come on. Even without him one-shotting everybody you have King being ridiculous, Genos' hair being blown up all over the place and baddies with fearsome names such as Golden Sperm, Fuhrer Ugly and Homeless Emperor.
Who says that comedy series can't have excellent characters, great action and strong scenes?

He's not a superhero, he's a monster. Monsters in the setting, at least those who used to be human, became monsters by doing something repetitively over and over to ludicrous degrees out of obsession, until they underwent a change in appearance and gained substantial powers.

Crablante, Shadow Boxer, several others, all got their powers and appearance that way.

Saitama trained every single day for three years, with an extreme obsession about "getting stronger" and "being the strongest".

At the end of three years, his appearance changed, and he gained a massive and ridiculous suite of powers.

makes fucking sense, thanks family

Except the manga goes out of its way to say that Saitama is not a Mysterious Being, he's a mortal who "broke his limiter"

Superalloy also trained the fuck out of himself which altered his body, and he's not a monster either.

Plus, One said that if he put all his strength into a punch, it would destroy half the universe. The other half would be spared because it's behind him.

When does it say that he isn't a Mysterious Being?

I know there are some people who theorize that he "broke his limiter", but I didn't see anything canon that wasn't just one character's opinion, and nobody that I saw even considered the possibility of him being a Mysterious Being

My frustration got the best of me cause I really love one-punch man :|.

He does not exist.

But Homeless Emperor is a fucking awesome name.

I am sure Saitama is more dangerous than Iron Chariots.

This place is not for you.

I AM THE FOOKINLEGEND OF JOYTOWER

He's the strongest character in his universe

That doesn't mean shit in other universes.

How is this shit tg?
Fuck off.

>Homeless Emperor
He expected similar rights.

Check your spam box, maybe your janitor acceptance mail is there.

Why the fuck does people keep going on about this?
How the fuck can people not realize that the entire thing with one punch man that whatever he fights, he wins with one punch.
It doesn't matter how strong it is, he wins with one punch. Always.

This shit is like discussing what could beat Lady of Pain. You don't. She is always stronger than you are.

These shitty arguments never change.
Neither does the shitty bitching about the shitty arguments.

because there's always at least 1 of each of these:
1. Obsessive fanboy that will defend his crush to last keystroke
2. NoFunAllowed autist who will likewise spare no effort in dismantling it.
3. Gay OP that derives sexual excitement from interaction of the previous two.

Did your mom help you make that post?
"Dear is that the N word! Honey baby boy have to censore that or you might offend someone"
What trying to be polite? If the words offended you why did you "type" it up? What not just not cuse if your a little bitch who can spell nigger?

I will forever love that Hexus is coming from the dozer exhaust in the pony panel.

I remember when Undertaker was undefeated in wrestlemania.

Do yoy know people used to discuss back in the XV century if Amadis was a better fighter than Lancelot?
Nerd fights aint new.

I thought it was Ramsey and 20 good men for a total of 21, I only see Ramsey and 19 fuckheads.

Imma just bring out the biggest gun to stamp the discussion.

The last one is behind you

How do people not notice that ONE totally discredited that theory by having another character break their limiter and still get his ass stomped? No one knows how he got so strong.

Which of those medaka box assholes are packing "all your powers +1" power?

Is that Darth-fucking-Nihilus in there? Darth-I-EAT-FUCKING-PLANETS-FOR-BREAKFAST?

Holy fucking balls I'd be running even though I know I was already dead.

Every character ever has already fought in the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. And as we're all aware, Mr Rogers won that.

medaka and

>I only see Ramsey and 19 fuckheads
you can't count then, there are 21 there

>implying

This is actually very true.

The guy with a salad watches a commercial or reads/watches works where those characters come from, they're all in his mind and subject to his whims.

They cannot hurt him in any way, no matter how powerful they are and he can change every part of their being within speed of thought.

>2 SWORDS DABID

Kurokami Medaka.
Misogi has "nuh uh, that didn't happen" and can self-revive.
Gagamaru has "nuh uh, that didn't happen to me" and doesn't need to consciously use it and can also reflect things such as stress or trauma which suggests he could also do it to death, hunger or drowning.

You mean the guy that got wrecked by a house cat?

he can beat goku but not superman

>Releases a whooping 2 pages of a new chapter
>Utter silence ver since

OOOONNNNEEEEE

I know. I want muh continuation.

nope

The MA Dragons names and designs are the fucking best.

Saitama pulls his punches all the time. He can instagib anyone, but sometimes he doesn't want to. He wanted to give Boros time to go all-out before he got serious himself.

Isn't Ajimu unable to beat protagonists though? That's why she wouldn't fight Medaka.

This guy could crush Saitama. No bones about it.
