You get 50 copies of fifty shades of grey, and the whole series of Twilight by Stephenie Mayer. It wont kill you but it will make you wish you were dead.
To be fair, we've seen stuff in a vaguely similar vein being used on him before, and it just kinda...whiffed. I think it was Tsubitchi who tried some sort of energy drain **** on him where she drained his life force, and he didn't even notice.
Considering the premise of his show, it wouldn't be too out there to suggest that Saitama is actually just straight-up omnipotent, and the only reason he's punching people is because he's a dumbass.
>>#13, my theory for the longest time is that he's a reality warper. the fire in his eyes is it triggering. it requires application though. Genos stated the workout he did is fairly common and low brow for non-heroic athletes, but Saitama wanted to be "a hero who could defeat any enemy in one punch" so that's what he became. he also gets tons of ******** to ensure that. it's been stated his power is that he can't lose.
My theory for Saitama's power is simply because he consistently went over his limit with his limit, doing training that he wasn't supposed to be able to do but did, and did it for 3 years, and because of that, his limit simply breaks, making his body have no limit of endurance, stamina and power.
i thought the entire premise of the one punch man universe was if you tried hard and wanted something enough you become that thing. like how the one monster became a lobster because he loved eating lobster or how garou turns into that demon thing because he wanted to be a monster. saitama wanted to be a hero who could defeat any generic villain, which is basically every villain in the series, and due to this became some living embodiment of justice who could defeat any evil. maybe others rarely or just simply cannot reach saitamas level because the drive to be evil out weighs the drive to be good in most people
Well, Mumen Rider has accepted his limits. He stays in C-class, and his whole speech to the Deep Sea King is about how he knows he won't win but he has to fight anyways.
He knows he can't win because he just can't, but if the theory was true, he would have been stronger than Saitama and he would have won because he knew he could. The theory was that what you wish to achieve, you can, and Mumen rider wishes to be that strong, but he just isn't.
I'm supporting this theory. It seems the way ONE wants it to be. Nothing special about him; he just trained crazy hard compared to what he's capable of doing.
There's a theory that the training actually is responsible for his power, despite how mundane it is, in that his attitude toward it allowed him to achieve enlightenment, essentially making him a god.
He is still organic though, if his heart stops, his body stops. A guaranteed heart attack from the Death Note would kill him, worst comes to worst, just write down that Saitama finds his own weakness and kills himself, if anyone has the power to kill Saitama, it's Saitama.
The Death Note can only kill via reasonable means, where the means writtwn are unreasonable the cause of death is a heart attack; however, this fail-safe is ineffective were a heart attack to prove ineffective against Saitama - once again raisig the question "can it kill him, and if so, how?"
The "guaranteed" nature of the Death Note is dependent on a heart attack being fatal - there's no real reason to think that it would kill should a heart attack be incapable of killing the target.
i imagine that a heart attack could still not kill a regualr human as technically they could have someone wuickly resusitate them, i imagine that it just keeps going until they collapse and die
so if it didnt kill him, itd be a constant heart attack in his body, his body would struggle to cope and it'd shut down he'd be completely ****** forever.
"Auto-kill" is via heart attack, refer back to my original post - the whole point is to stipulate that a heart attack wouldn't kill him; seems unreasonable, until you consider what else should have killed him yet didn't.
The Death Note doesn't just "give" someone a heart attack. It states that the person "will die" of a heart attack. Unless the show uncovers some aspect where Saitama is actually a god, he would die. The Death Note is originally made for gods, not mortal men, which means that the power it has would exceed anything less than a god. "The person who's name is written in this book will die." That is the rule.
Saitama was punched so hard he went crashing into the moon, stood up, then jumped back to Earth; not sure we can assume he is mortal, given he should have been killed on at least three counts in that instance alone.
You base everything on rules, which some Shinigami write, with those rules both being incomplete in terms of the Shinigami's knowledge (they purposefully hold back) and the incomplete knowledge of the Shinigami (Ryuk isn't sure about several things involving the Death Note, is surprised by some things such as being able to use a page that was torn out, etc.).
For all we know, Saitama has reached a level where he would probe yet another exception to the "rule" - although there's actually no rules, only a "how to use" guide, and the Shinigami will have written that in intending the user to write the name of "an ordinary mortal man".
Tl;dr The Death Note has so many exceptions that I don't buy the assertion it'd work when nothing else seems to work.
That is true, however it's worth noting that heart-attacks are not always (and, in fact, when you get to a hospital or to proper medical treatment in time) rarely fatal, yet EVERYONE who had a heart attack induced by the Death Note died.
As it stands, that would mean it would somehow have to give Saitama a strong enough heart attack to kill him, which is possible because he IS still human, and if his heart doesn't work he WILL die.
Not necessarily. If the method of death is not possible, they are supposed to simply die of a heart attack. So if nothing that can be written down works and he survives, then he faces his heart failing, but if he survives that too...
The name you are originally given at birth, usually by your parents of course. Shinigami eyes can see your "true" name, regardless of how you changed it. Name changes are seen as alias or nicknames to Shinigami.
Its not likw deathnote actually went in depth about the abilities of the death note and its history.
An anime based entirely around it would be much more interesting then the actual show was whether or not it would be entertaining is absolutely questionable though.
Hrm... It's actually a somewhat interesting question. My answer is no.
Why?
The Death Note follows specific rules. It can not make something impossible happen. The method of death must be realistic. You can't, for instance, say "X is run over by a battleship in his bathroom at noon" when the guy lives in the middle of Kanses. Since their name is in the Death Note, however, they will simply die due to a heart attack, carrying out the death.
There is nothing that can kill Saitama, that we know of. There is no death someone could write into the Death Note to kill him. The question really becomes, "Can Saitama die due to a heart attack?". I'd say no.
I'm pretty sure a heartattack could kill him, since it's essentially just his heart stopping. No heartbeat = no life, even for Saitama.
That said, a heartattack isn't the only thing that could kill him. He could be made to jump into space, either because of some kind of illusion (like he thinks there's a meteor or battleship up there,) or it could have him outright commit suicide by jumping into the sun (according to the Death Note's rules all humans are capable of suicide so it's a viable death, and even if the sun's heat and gravity didn't kill him, lack of oxygen would.)
and aging causes death...the other ways one can die are for the most part avoidable or at least deterable. death by aging is unavoidable, since it is because of cell reproduction limit, it is a limit.
obviously talking about death, since aging causes death, then it is a limit. even then, if you count any other means of death, it is a limit of ones lifespan.
"obviously talking about death, since aging causes death"
So since I was talking about death, and aging causes it, I am immediately talking about aging?
Guess I'm also talking about poison, knives, guns, bears, sharks, water, fire, and literally everything else in existence too then.
You can't consider death a limit, because it's not a measurement.
Death is something that happens. It's like trying to say throwing is a limit.
Actions cannot be limits. Your age can be a limit, a limit as to how many years you can live. but death itself is an ACTION, something that happens, it cannot be considered a limit.
No, even then, Death is NOT the limit.
Die from damage? Damage was the limit, Death was the action.
Die from aging? Age was the limit, Death was the action.
Die from drowning? Lung space was the limit, Death was the action.
Ok.
I didn't post the theory as an answer to the Death Note question, I posted it because I thought it was something that some of you guys hadn't seen before.
The only reason I mentioned the Death Note post was to explain that it reminded me of this theory.
"There's an explanation for saitama's power that suggests no one can beat him. Ever." implies that you're saying a Death Note could not beat him.
Maybe no one can physically beat him in a fight, but there's for sure plenty of magicy *********** that could use loop holes on him
Ok.
You do understand the term "theory", right?
Its not "fact", its a proposed explanation for a thing, which is all I provided.
I'm not saying he's unbeatable. I'm merely providing a pre-existing hypothesis.
And I'm telling you why that pre-existing hypothesis does not make him unbeatable, nor did it every suggest he was unbeatable, it just explained why he's so strong.
You're trying to argue a point with me. But I don't have a point or an argument. All I have is a hypothesis proposed by someone else.
I'm not here to argue, I'm here to inform. Stop trying to create an argument where there is none to be had.
I'm not creating an argument.
You said "There's an explanation for saitama's power that suggests no one can beat him." and I told you that no, it does not suggest that "no one can beat him" and you're acting like I'm not allowed to tell you what you said is wrong.
What in the **** is wrong with you?
If your theory is anything other than "He's powerful, because it's a comedy about a guy who's the opposite of your average shonen protagonist." it is wrong.
If it's not that, let me guess. It's that old **** that he got powerful, cause he really, really, really, really wanted to be powerful, right? Like the crab guy who turned into a mutant, because he ate too many crabs. That's usually the most common one, cause people don't realize it's not serious. It's meant to parody the cliche where characters become powerful, just thanks to willpower.
Isn't it a Japanese thing to refer to people by their last name? His last name IS Saitama. And his first name wouldn't take much effort to find. He has an address. Not only that but he received fanmail, so it's not even hidden.
I have a theory that Goku could stand up to Saitama. His fight with Boros took more then one punch, I think he has a tough time with people with immense power. (Super Sayins) I just think planets would explode if they were to fight
Nah, he was holding back. There is nothing that Goku can do to kill Saitama so Saitama would win. He wouldn't kill Goku though, he doesn't kill good guys.
Well I hate to tell you, but holding your breath usually wont save you from the vacuum of space. Plus, when he crashed his mouth and nose remained uncovered, and he didn't seem affected in the least.
Dude took a hit which landed him on the moon without a scratch. I think his lungs are durable enough to survive air embolism. And it is never stated that he is immortal or has no need of food, water or air. It's just that his enemies are too stupid to try alternate means to killing him rather than charging him head-on.
Yes as long as you make it a funny death. I don't watch the shows but it seems like he has a weakness to the rule of funny. So if you make it a funny death but it has to actually be funny not like "He ***** himself to death" it has to be something that would make outside observers who have been numbed by years of stupid jokes laugh.
shinigami eyes takes care of the name thingy, then right in ****** one punch ****** dies by a horde of rabid bunnies raping him to death. or something equally improbable.
I think that Death Note is made only to kill humans and lesser beings (I guess it should work on animals right ?).
Saitama is a super hero, not a human. Hell, he might be a god for all we know.
1. You don't need shinigami eyes. He gets mail. Just look at his mail.
2. The death note most likely has some sort of range. He can just leave the planet if he can react pre-emptively. But this would most likely destroy the planet from his force. Which may also destroy the link between the two worlds (kinda like destroying the Dangai in bleach), causing the shinigami world to, in the least, not be able to impact the regular one through the death note.
3. The death note is guaranteed death. So what? Saitama is human. He's already guaranteed to die.
4. To be more precise, the death note causes a heart attack only regularly. You die as the result of such an action -- whether you could survive the attack won't stop the action.
It's essentially Lelouch's geass, with one caveat: The target must die after they obey.
Whether the person would actually die as a result will not stop them from being commanded. So it's simple: Command him to leap into the sun.
5. Someone make a comic like the Vegeta x Saitama one where Ryuk can't kill Saitama.
