The vast majority of people who hate GT do so because of those that quote and act obnoxious about it, pretending like everything that comes out of GT is gospel, inciting hatred in said people even if said they've never actually seen it. This applies to just about everything with a fanbase, following or common interest.
Biggest example in recent history, PewDiePie isn't that bad. Mediocre, but not hyper Satan. Same exact deal as GT, it's kinda ******* saddening.
Yeah I know, it's like people can't think for themselves nowadays. It's the vocal autistic minority that ruin what we enjoy before the eyes of gods and men.
He uses that more as an excuse to be wrong though. When he's using words like "proves beyond a shadow of a doubt" and so on, that final retract loses meaning.
I'm personally most miffed by his video about why one color wins more often. That one sucked.
I haven't watched it in a white but as far as I remember, the main character Lawrence is a travelling sales man who meets Holo, the wolf diety of a small village who is the god of good harvests. They start travelling together and Lawrence teaches holo some of the tricks of the trade so to speak
Holo is mad flirty at times though, drinks a lot and loves her apples. I think she just planned to stay with him until she reached a certain destination I think.
It's not entirely about economics but even the parts that are about it are good. But the anime is a good look into the life of travelling merchants in a way.
I don't make it sound exciting but it is pretty good
I thought Sonic was more obsessed with being faster than Siama, not stronger. Also, Sonic may not be 100% determined to beat Siama(unlike how Siama dedicated his life to becoming a hero, so that's why he hasn't/ will never surpass Siama.
Except that sonic believes the key to beating Saitama is in increasing his speed.
So yeah, he might become the fastest bitch man alive, but he'll never beat Saitama.
Another point I could make is that for every new height that anyone reaches, Saitama will then surpass it, being that he is "The Man Without Limits".
reminds me of the goku vs superman arguement made by that youtube video. if you havnt seen it they basically argue that superman is a man without limit, where goku is a man who refuses to stop pushing his limit. in the end though no matter how big a number gets, it will get reach or surpass infinity, if ya know what i'm sayin.
Ok. Here's a theory. Saitama didn't transform. Here's why.
It's not too unreasonable to assume that "desire" or "willpower" is what transforms you, but instead someone sees the persons potential and transforms them. The powers are granted, not gained. Who does this?
Pic related(1). God.
Well he's probably not god, just a god-like character. For some reason he wants to destroy humanity. In the story it is said that more and more monsters have been popping up. So monsters weren't always as common as now, implying that something changed. This is why I think that this god character is granting monster powers to everyone, including Garou.
Now there's another thing in the story called the "limiter". If you work hard enough, you can break your limiter, granting you incredible strength and removing your 'power ceiling'. The reason why Saitama is so strong is because he not only broke his limiter, but he also continued to train after that. No other character has broken his limiter (to my knowledge), except maybe Garou.
In the Garou fight, it's believed that Garou breaks his limiter (or comes very close). Yet he can't match up to Saitama. He is then granted a true monster form (which he thanks something for it). But the important part here, pointed out by Saitama, is that turning into a monster only made him weaker (pic related(2)). Whether Garou broke his limiter or not is irrelevant because he still became weaker after transforming. This tells me that in the story, human potential is greater than granted powers.
The reason why Saitama is so strong is because he wasn't granted any powers, but rather because he worked hard (relative to his own limits) to gain the power he wanted. And that could then probably translate over to the overall moral of the story of "work hard kids!".
Other theory is that there's a friendly god who tries to protect humanity by granting powers. But I don't like that nearly as much
Nahh. its more like the Fairy Od Parents episode where Timmy wishes he was the strongest thing on the beach. so he buffs up to an average bodybuilder. Then by chance a bunch of strongment waltz onto the beach. so he hulks up again. 1 step above them at all times. Then a whale beaches its self and he becomes gigantic. The same logic here applies to saitama. except he just dosen't grow in size in comparison to his abilities. When a new bad guy steps onto the universe. he +10 their stats
Saitama broke his limiter, but Garou was in the process of breaking his limiter during his fight with Saitama. However he was unwilling to be an actual monster. Not in the physical sense, but the moral sense. He doesn't kill humans, just incapacitates He doesn't mind killing monsters though. . So in the end, his limiter didn't break because he was half-assing it.
It all comes down to the Limiter. I doubt there's actual gods involved, just monsters with god-like powers.
Most of the heroes are people with innate abilities (Tatsumaki, Fubuki, Metal Bat, ...) , strong martial artists (Most heroes, Bang, ...) or enhanced humans (Metal Knight, Drive Knight, Genos, ...) . Saitama was average in just about every aspect, yet he tried a lot harder than all of those people to be a hero. That's why he ended up breaking his Limiter. There's a page in the webcomic about this, but i can't find it.
Then again, it's a gag manga. Any inconsistency can be played off as a joke.
Did you just have a ******* stroke or were those actually words, weeb? God damn son you know you're a weeb when in the middle of a conversation you ******* turn into scat man john, **** .
I think the best theory is the one that Dr. Genus himself elaborates: AUTISMO ALERT
Since Saitama had such low limits and no real ambitions overall he had little to no expectation in being good in any field,but since he trained beyond his capacity to such a high level he broke all his limiters by just training on a physical level. A vague example could be:
-Choosing the worst class in a RPG
-While other clases start with varied stats and cap at 99, your class starts with 1 in everything,and thus having to cap at 10 or wathever.
-You train endurance, strenght and speed for a lot of time.
-Since you don´t let your character rest to re-spec points to lvl up and distribute attributes the the game just keeps acumulating the points itno the respective stats.
-Since you already have more than 99 in those 3 stast the game tries to add them to other stats, but since they are capped to the minimum the game ***** itself and give you a NaN% value, effectively being unlimited and whatnot. tl;dr
And thus while others have power through determination, obsesion, lust for power, hate,God, etc... Saitama just has broken stats, thus making him the representation of unfairness.
You are right, Handsomedly masked sweet mask is heavily implied to be a monster ( i could even imagine him being a ugly monster) in disguise hence the name masked ,but since he is so obsesed with beauty and power he gained both, or maybe God gave them to him
Either that or that is the way ONE likes to draw flesh and/or veins
you need to know when to end it. there would be no sense to continue it just by repeating the same picture.
plus you were supposed to post another ok to which i would have posted ok and then it would have ended on a perfect note. like icarus, you flew too close to the sun and ruined it.
You really didn't expand much on the point of your ******* post. You have like 11 sentences explaining how people in this universe undergo transformations and then 2 talking about Saitama's transformation is because he doesn't have limits? Someone trying to do a pull up for the first time could be pushing his body past limits. This theory could be true but your explanation is ******* retarded. 100 push ups, sit-ups, squats, and running 10km every day sounds like a ******* limit to me. Why hasn't he pushed himself to do 101 push ups if he truly looks to break limits?
If he really did go through some transformation like those other things, it's a lot more likely that it has more to do with his attitude than his stupid training. "His training was harsh" like you can't be ******* serious. Sit the **** down.
The harshness is that he didn't have rest days and didn't use any air conditioning to make the air cooler or warmer when he needed it. Also I think the banana helped.
At the first episode he tells the grab man that he failed to get a job ( he was "declined royally") and throughout the show, they have given us signs why he didn't get the job.
SPOILERS:
1.) Genos admires him for being timely, after which he admits he's almost always late.
2.) He (nearly) misses deadlines by mixing up the day of the week and nearly misses the sale.
3.) He picks his nose (publicly)
4.) He shows no respect/total disinterest to his superiors.
These are just the stuff I remember from the top of my head. There might be more.
What does this mean? No clue, just something I've noticed.
It's just his personality. #1 is him just being modest. #2 wasn't him mixing up the day of the week, he went with Genos to go fight and they just took too long and almost ran late. #3 and #4 - While he is crude and impolite, he isn't disrespectful so much as dismissive. Sure it is rude to just shrug people off, but everyone he talks to he isn't outright rude.
1.) He might be modest, but when he has to lie, it was a chore for him. A lie doesn't seem to come too naturally out of his mouth.
2.) But he had to stop and think what day of the week it is mid-fight and just then realized he's going to miss it (or so he thought).
3&4.) I'm not saying he's rude, or disrespectful. At least on purpose. Regardless, if you go to a job interview with little to no interest towards the job and show no respect to your superiors, it's nothing new if you don't get the job.
Our only intelligent guess why he wouldn't have gotten the job is his personality, because we were never told (at least in the show. Maybe in the manga?) what job he applied for, so we can't know if he lacked experience or skills in the field.
Saying "it's just his personality" doesn't make it less true that he got declined for some of his personality features. In fact it's quite the opposite. Some personalities don't simply fit some jobs.
Is he truly without limits?
Boros is the only creature that survived a punch from Saitama.
To defeat Boros, Saitama used not one serious punch, but a series of them.
In the final scene after the credits of the final episode, Saitama kills a dragon threat with one punch then yells in frustration about how he's "back to one punch again".
This confirms that Boros managed to survive a one punch from Saitama, and that there is likely a limit to Saitama's power.
Now for a more serious subject
what the **** is the story on Saitama's hero outfit? why is it as invincible as him?
Nah, by all means Boros should have died to his punches. After all, when Saitama lands a single blow on most enemies they tend to turn into a bloody pulp. That happened to Boros quite a fair bit. The only reason for his survival was because if any of that bloody pulp still has anything left intact (like an eye) then he can fully regenerate.
Boros also said something along the lines of "there's no limit to his power." Now I think if anyone could tell, it would be Boros. Also, during his fight with Boros, his cape got shredded, maybe a boot too? I can't remember exactly.
he doesn't have a limit. he just didn't bother to accurately appreciate boros' power. he just wanted to feel a little excitement from battling an opponent for longer than 2 seconds, and since he saw that boros was able to not die from one punch, he had his little fun. had he hit him with the serious punch from the very beginning, there wouldn't have been a fight. you could see at the end of the fight when boros went all out so saitama was like "ok then if you don't wanna play anymore i'm gonna have to end the game here" and even so it wasn't even a serious punch (for him). it more of way to let boros know that that punch was going to be harder than the "normal" ones before. at the end of the "battle" he didn't even break a sweat. he's always so worried about his clothes getting damaged or missing out on sales or other menial **** like that, that he's completely oblivious of the seriousness of the situation whenever he's facing an opponent. he became so powerful that he rid himself of any instinctual fear he might have about anyone or any situation. that fight was like a "breath of fresh air" for him.
I think i really comes down to a similar situation like gamagoori, coincidentally from another shounen deconstruction. Gamagoori's height fluctuated so much through the series but when prompted, trigger just said his official height was "As tall as the scene needs him to be". Saitama is just as strong as the scene needs him to be, the fight with boros needed to be more drawn out and intense, so saitama wasnt infinitely stronger than boros to punch his head off and thats that, he was just "strong enough", or in the case of the tiny mosquito, was utterly outmatched like a little bitch
one of my personal theories/headcannons is that saitama will become evil overlord of the earth and no one can beat him bc he is obsessed with power, then 3 years later a lone warrior confronts him, and defeats him in one punch, saitama is shocked to see such resolve and heroism from this man, and of course its none other than./..
I don't see it happening. His attitude towards the whole thing kind of comes out in his Boros fight when he berates the man on destroying planets just to find someone worthy to fight him. He's no Super Man.
While I can see him not wanting to really bother with the 'Hero' organization if they get too stressful for him, I think he'll never stop being who he is. If he did become an "evil overlord", I think he'd probably be the most relaxed overlord there was. I don't think he'd even do anything past saying "Do what I say or get punched."
But I do see great things in store for Rider. I don't see him becoming another Saitama, but rather a Hero who can get to people who need his help as fast as possible and do whatever is needed to protect the innocent..
That's cool and all, and you put a lot of effort, but come on. It's a parody show. It's not suppose to have a deeper meaning. Guy eating crabs, then turned into a crab. I find it when people try to take the show serious kind of cringy. It's a comedy. Everything doesn't have a reasonable explanation.
And you can, I see nothing wrong too wrong with that. Just wanted to say, this isn't a serious show with actually concrete reasoning behind it. People shouldn't be reading too into it.
Honestly I always found the monsters to be tragically ironic.
A man becomes what he loves to eat the most. A man wants to become a monster, but he isn't one at heart. Etc.
And along comes Saitama.
His goal was not to become the strongest, it was to not be bored.
That is the irony inherently in it.
The wording he used in the Crablante fight was "strong enough to defeat a monster like you in a single punch". I've always thought he went through same transformation of Crablante in the sense of he became what he wanted to be.
**andrewolfzoom used "*roll picture*"** **andrewolfzoom rolled image** if one punch man was a bad guy he might just get rid of the sun but he isn't
so maybe they will just keep fighting until OPM is bored and just ends up playing video games with him best short comic i can think of. just like that zombie and ghost one you know.
This tells us nothing about whether or not he could be killed by the Death Note. Not that it matters, imaginary pissing contests are one of the stupidest things anime fans do.
Here, I'll make up a character called mega Jesus. His powers are that he is unable to die and he can consciously warp reality with his mind. He also exists in every anime ever at once, and he warped reality in all of them so that Saitama cannot be killed by the Death Note.
What does that mean? I'll tell you, it means jack **** because these are all separate fictional worlds and therefore any claims about whether or not Saitama could be affected by a power that doesn't exist in his universe are completely baseless and unsubstantiated.
The problem is no one gives a **** about your character, so why would anyone bother to compare them in a fight? The fun part is debating characters that are fun to talk about.
Also, even by those standards he still isn't the strongest character I've heard of. You suck at this.
