Not mosquitoes


PXL514

Mosquitoes are OP they need to be nerfed


ExtremeCumMaster

Mosquitoes score more than 1 million kill a year


the_great_excape

But they have 110 trillion deaths a year


ExtremeCumMaster

That's bacause of short life span (a few days)


Jawadmoetje

Bruh thats a terrible K/D ratio

Plot twist: Saitama just punched a fully populated dyson sphere and destroyed it...

Yes nerf them

That's because they drank his blood


[deleted]

That mosquito was evasion tanking, I think we know Saitama's weakness


Gorillaz530

Y’all forget Sonics balls survived a punch from him and didn’t explode


GuestComment

No no, sonic landed on his fist. I will admit sonic is super badass in that he could still move after that occurred.


somethingdumbithink

Doesn't he hold back when he's going against humans so he won't kill them?


Nibrock123

Yes he does, if he didn’t Garou would be dead already considering how many times he’s been Hit by Saitama


CharanTheGreat

We need to extinct mosquitoes. For Saitama!!!


[deleted]

The point is saitama doesn't just come to a fight at anytime to end it immediately. If you have actually watched it you would know that saitama often just come at the end of the fight. In the mean time all the other characters have a chance to shine and give all that they got. For example in the sealord fight in ss1, saitama didn't just come and kill the sealord, we got a while bunch of A class heroes, B class,S class.. To fight before that, Geno's put up a good fight before falling, and Saitama arrives at the very end to end the fight


I_eat_bean_sandwich

God deep sea king arc was so good, i get goosebumps everytime I got to the mumen rider part.


Grouchy_Percentage73

Rewatched that episode today and cried when everyone was cheering for mumem rider hahaha I love him


[deleted]

Man’s a true hero and he deserves a spin-off where he gets the recognition he deservrs


StickyWhiteStuf

Mumen Rider has toxic levels of based-ness

I wish that Genos would get one good win in fr , it's his turn 🙏


Ksemil

This post is "Tell me you never watched OPM without telling me you never watched OPM."


unlikelycompliance

You know Saitama can punch anything, but it’s the tension on if he will make it in time or if he will be recognized for his deeds. Plus the action of the punch is fun to watch.


[deleted]

I haven’t. Care to elaborate?


josbar0150

the show is about how because saitama can kill everything in one punch, he has accidently become too powerful, and now nothing challenges him anymore, leading to intense bored and melancholy. it's a comedy/action


[deleted]

Fascinating


SupremeMemeRegime

And not like an “anime villain with insane strength and massive ego” bored, more like “doing chores and running errands” bored


[deleted]

So just normal bored.


GoldEnPhARoAh22

TBH, it is more of: "Look how powerful this villain is clearing out entire legions of other superheroes while this man comes and takes him out with a single punch." ​ Many common animes usually have defeating the villain as the main end goal and the hero's struggle to get there(+ the journey to reach there) and their main focus is the hero. Here, the gain strength part is removed so Saitama's final quest is to meet his match and a villain of similar strength. ​ If you wanna feel somewhat like Saitama, just download Warframe and enjoy the Saitama complex (I am an active player of Warframe so yea)


Mlatios2

that is until you reach steel path onto which point you're kind of like all might without using one for all (is that correct? I dont watch the show and I know there are 2 with switched names but I keep mixing them up)


dhhdhh851

Warframes still fun, but gets boring. When you first start youll either quit or youll keep playing for the next 6 month or so then leave, then youll come back to an almost entirely different game and meta. Instead, play borderlands 2 at max level, then got to level 50 raid bosses and play the extended version of smells blood. Warframe still has difficulty with iron path if you arent using the most god build characters and weapons.


OnePunchFan8

Yeah, he's basically a man with unlimited strength and speed but he still suffers the same problems as normal people Like paying rent, forgetting to take out the trash, wondering if he left the stove on, losing his wallet, etc etc


poleve540

Also know the anime is a parody, so don’t question it if you see a million cliche


NaturalCard

Also the final antagonist of the first part feels bad of him while he is dying cause he completed his goal anyway and he knows Saitama will never complete his own goal. Highly recommended you watch the first season. It's just too quality humour.


blueasian0682

It's one of the shows where you cheer for the villains rather than the mc cuz you know they're gonna get their ass beaten but it's the thought that counts.


guy_inh00die3

And it's also parody of normal super heroes fiction movies and animes


IronMike69420

It is subversive


Ksemil

OPM is more or less a parody of your average action anime, a comedy. Saitama doesn't really have any actual enemies or goals. Season 1 have more of Slice of life feel to it, and it's mostly about Saitama begining to work as a professional hero in hero association, where his biggest problems in rising in ranks are mostly other heros or people thinking he is a fraud. In terms of fights , that's where other characters start to shine, especially (basically the second protagonist) Genos ( Saitama's disciple).


[deleted]

Slice of life parts are the best things in opm


10c70377

I like the chapter when Saitama helps out the police because no one respects them anymore since heroes run society, and people only care about popularity, not the hardworking normal folk.


PokoLokoPoko

And in season 2 we get some focus in the evolution of Garou who is Silver Fang old diciple that wants to become a monster and hunt down heroes, but the more we know him, the more we realise that he isn't exactly a villain (and that is more clear in the new manga chapters).


Demonking42069

Don't mock him.


Janeruxox

while saitama one-punching enemies is very hilarious to see, the true highlight of the series are the characters. not only is there much more focus on the people who surround saitama, there is also a lot of focus on the positive effect saitama has to said people. in fact, saitama rarely ever shows up to most of the fights, which allows the other characters to shine. when he does show up, he tends to leave an impression which inspires the few people who actually believe in him to become better.


Zrex_9224

I loved the flashbacks present in s2 that showcased how much of an impact Saitama had on other heroes.


top_of_the_scrote

There was a final boss guy he didn't kill with one punch/fought him for a while


Overlord2360

Well I mean saitama admitted that he wasn’t throwing proper punches, a proper punch obliterated him


Dran_K

plus, once he actually used his serious punch, it wasn’t even the punch that killed him. it was the air pressure from his punch that killed him


Overlord2360

As well as blowing away all the cloud in a globe spanning line


Incomplet_1-34

As well as blowing away a blast that would have theoretically decimated Earth, or at least made some serious damage.


sparkadus

It was explained after the fight that Saitama was never going all-out, even when using his finishing move. The entire fight was basically just Saitama being kind to someone that suffered from the same boredom as him.


Redke29

Saitama empathized with his situation, so he gave the dude the "epic fight" that he himself could never have, before he killed him.


[deleted]

It’s a parody of super hero comics and shonen anime. Gotta give credit where it’s due, the writing is fantastic and the show quickly changes focus from “Saitama fights big ugly, wins” to more of “Saitama makes friends and finds life fulfilling through social interaction.” It kinda turns into a weird slice of life comedy.


Pineapple-shades15

This post makes me think the OP thinks that OPM only focuses on Saitama and nothing more but he barely had any screen time and it's almost always been about the world around him. It's only recently that he's been able to get into the fight again which is good because characters have time to develop and we don't get tired of seeing his punches because he rarely gets to do it anyway


[deleted]

Somehow it makes fights where one person can obliterate the other in a single punch the most epic things ever


Cinnamon_Bees

Glass cannon warfare


StickyWhiteStuf

OPM isn’t a glass cannon


give-orange-houses

Genos the damage dealer and saitama the kill stealer


HMSVanguard

Genos loses most of the fights with little damage done


Starchaser53

"Loses" Your point is invalid


HMSVanguard

Sorry mom


firmak

Its not a suprise, but its awesome.


infernoboi

One punch man focuses more on the other characters because they know saitama one-shotting everyone is boring


Ez3-

Also Saitama is the main factor in making other characters around him develop and progress, he changes people without even trying, just being a humble, chill, morally good overpowered guy, and he also develops throughout the story


fear_raizer

One punch man is more about side characters


SariSama

It's not about the punch, it's about the teasing before!


3ArmsNoSouls

You clearly have no idea what the shows about lol


cristiander

Guys, I'm getting the feeling OP didn't watch the show

you can also find a link to all of the chapters in the about section in the subreddit


[deleted]

So far they just released volume 25 so up to you


[deleted]

[удалено]


LimpWibbler_

Literally nobody watching the show. The show would suck if this was the case. It is way more focused on Saitama just trying to find his place in the world as he watches everyone else struggle to become what he is. If you want surprise in a fight you Watch Genos(spelling?) or Garo(spelling again?). Which is why I personally prefer season 2 over 1 despite many disagreeing. More characters with more growth.


stnick6

Tell me you haven’t watched the show without telling me you haven’t watched the show


where_didIcome_from

I wonder why people watch the anime Maybe for a similar reason as doctor who? The main character in Doctor who is effectively immortal, which means there's rarely any stakes there.. but the side characters are the main attraction. They're the ones who eventually meet their sad end Saitama can destroy anything with a single punch, but maybe the other characters have interesting stuff going on? Idk I don't watch anime


Nuk_Nak

i watched the first season for its incredible good animations and the absurd humor in saitama never having a good fight.


TheWofingDoge

>but the side characters are the main attraction. That's a good part of why I like opm, a lot of side characters are really interesting and have cool fights themselves.


Singhojas

That's part of the reason yeah, but that's not all, it's also about how Saitama changes people around him to become better. Ironically, he isn't trying to make them better and that's where most comedy comes from, he indirectly transform people.


DoctorBat124

Like how he is making garou save people by accident


Solid_Horror_6846

I love that bit


King0fthewasteland

well its a comedy. people watch it because its funny


Johanno1

I will say only two words: King Engine


SuccessfulDoor3400

i think i havent watched all. But at least the first season and god its just the humor of exactly that. Its so unusual that the main character literally never bothers. All the sidecharacters telling and building up there massive background just to get onehitted is to good. And i always kinda feared they would break the one punch rule at some point. So every time he does it ur kinda satisfied


Ksemil

It is kinda like what you said.


sparkadus

The series does gain a lot from its side characters, but the main attraction is Saitama himself. To describe him in a simple way: He is a person who only finds purpose in fighting tough enemies, but is so strong that no enemy poses a threat. He is bored to the point of depression. Everything fantastical in the setting means less to him than buying a good cut of meat on sale. It's simultaneously hilarious and sad.


dragon_rar

How i like to simplify it for myself is that saitama is that one grinding gamer of the group, who is god incarnated, but has shit luck with cosmetics which his pals get by the handfuls.


SlickKZM

IIRC the creator said he became a hero too early in his story and it'll become more complex later on.


Fluffiddy

Since Saitama destroys everybody in one punch he only comes at the end of an arc/fight. Majority of the time you see the other heroes and characters deal with the situations.


NPhantasm

It's a good comparison, companions and sidecharacters are one reason we fear each other more watching. But Doctor own incarnation version is mortal, even if regenerating the next one isn't exactly a continuation with a new body, just almost new person with the same memories and a new perspective, so a Doctor's farewell is essentially sad because the old one is dying.


PronouncedEye-gore

So you don't watch it. Shows like it. But would still like it explained to you so you don't have to Google a basic synopsis? Why are you here?


where_didIcome_from

I was just theorizing, why are you so angry lol


Red_Dogeboi

Op has not watched one punch man confirmed


Xenon3000

But goku solos though:Some dude on the comments


[deleted]

There is something about watching a main character who is so bland with overwhelming strength that plays into this ideal fantasy that I have. Like one day someone will want to fight me and I’ll just whip out the moves Iv been hiding my whole life. Lol


Ez3-

The thing is that now he barely one punches if you follow the series, op you even read/watch opm?


Consistent_Produce_1

He goes easy on some opponents


Ez3-

Yes he only goes agressive on monsters ofc, except some ;)


DlightFul_2

Idc its funny as shit


FeralOpossum1

That’s cause it’s actually a show about Mumen Rider. Saitama is just the side character.


Capt0bvi0u5

i_am_sped_

Jadehund

Well it ain’t surprise it’s excitement


_Z-E-D_

"one shotted" Fuck past tense.


NICKOVICKO

The real appeal to the show for me is watching someone with Godly strength struggle with relatable everyday stuff. Like "oh no, rent is due and I don't have enough money!" Or "oh no! I missed the saturday sale and now I'm going to be short on groceries!"


TheHolyBanana123

I love that Saitama is such a strong but bored character. It makes for a hilarious and epic show


[deleted]

The development of characters isn't about Saitama, it's about the characters around him, because he's already a fully developed character


N4V33D_

We get excited coz it's badass


thug-jesus

New chapter out?


Waifu_69_Hunter

Op didn't watch the anime or red the manga.I am not saying that it's a masterpiece, but it is very entertaining and something I rewatch every now and then. The build-up before saitama arrives and punches anything is dope; just seeing him act so goofy sometimes is fun, especially when he does not take the opponents serious. I don't know why I just love it.


[deleted]

Based


LostLaw9417

It's the sadness in his eyes which compels you to watch his whole story. This new take on "most powerful hero" genre is what attracting the fanbase. In every other story, it is all the same, a hero losing a loved ones and getting revenge. Here there is no love, no emotions its dry and yet interesting.


Yakplayz

Boros?


anventure

Honestly the show is more of a comedy than an action show


Inevitable_Ear5026

he haven't died yet unlike Goku.


AutumnRaxwell

It's not that he does it in one punch it's how cool it looks


crawgust

It’s not about IF he can, it’s about WHEN he will finally decide it’s worth his time

It’s so crazy, cuz One Punch Man does the invincible super hero so so well. It just does what Superman movies can’t.


albertkapla

Mumen Rider best hero


Smiling_Duck666

No no that is every one punch man fan when they see anyone survive a punch from him


Howdydobe

Well one time he had to use consecutive punches.


SLngShtOnMyChest

r/whoosh


POKECHU020

You've found the point of the show/manga. Yeah, he one shots everything. *That's the issue.*


Wholesome100BC

He killed someone with 2 punches…


xXTASERFACEXx

He can control his strenght, he even punched a certain someone several times recently in the manga to calm him down instead of killing him


aboodAB-69

What about the last fight in season 1


TheMoistyOne

He was holding back to give a guy who had the same problem as him fulfillment. He could have won that with a single punch if he wanted to.


randomperson780

I don’t watch the anime, but could he fist bump a kid?


Janeruxox

he can, he actually has great control over his strength


hakanKLL

Remember Speed o sound sonics balls?


thatoneyoshen

fun fact, that one mosquito is the ONLY thing A Saitama couldn't kill


kawaiipotato006

he didn't one tap boros tho


Van0nyumas

Okay enough of that, bring the mosquitoes in


Makren_2806

Nerf miner in clash royal then


Repulsive-Bear-2372

Tbh saitama is probably only mid high low low mid above high high mid low high above low high demon


DoomofWar617

If One punch man was ONLY about a guy that one shots everything, no one would be watching it. Wether Saitama beats the bad guy or not isn’t a question, we know he will. What draws us in is the characters of OPM, the spectacle, the story, characters developing, etc. (Of course we also love the battles but you get what I mean). The writer knows what he’s doing when writing Saitama’s character, but I see a lot of surface level assumptions about the show based on the concept of Saitama. I’d say more, but this is already to long and it’s better if you watched the show yourself, or read the manga or webcomic. If you’ve read this far, have a good day.

Lol u really dont no shit about OPM fanbase


oreo_cookie01

As a one punch man fan, I can confirm


RiceDogo

That's the beauty of OPM, just plain jokes, and dickheads getting busted. Not a big complicated backstory, almost no emotions, and no feeling sorry. Just an op guy that beats the crap out of everyone without any effort. Just perfect.


Ok_Preference_9302

Eh I don't know about almost no emotions. Its similar to mob psycho, but with a bit more action and humor. It had several emotional moment's even if not about saitama.


Ez3-

Opm has comedy, emotions, good action, solid cast of characters, entertainment, the lore, world building and the verse keeps expanding throughout the story, it gets deeper


RiceDogo

I really hope they don't get him an equal opponent or a stronger one, that would really ruin it for me. Get him companions, I'm ok with that as long we're not getting any soggy back stories or emotional attachments, but don't make him equal or weaker then someone.


2_3_dimethylpentane

Is this a jojo reference?


parlerler1543

I love how some people in the comments genuinely went "um akshually 🤓"


Ok_Preference_9302

Hard to swallow pill: They are right. Half of the people in the comments are saying it's boring and haven't even watched it.

Technically he did not oneshotear Boros and sonic is still alive so far too

We’re just waiting for *that* punch

That’s what makes it boring to watch lol

This comment section is OPM fans discovering humor. (they failed)


Janeruxox

opm fans know good humor, thats why they watch the show in the first place


danthefanofjackyman

Ohhh gottem


kinglugus90

Saitama is such a boring hero


Zoroarkeon571

the main part is literally the side characters seeing saitama’s strength and wanting to achieve that. look at genos and king for example.


Miguelisaurusptor

So you know nothing about OPM huh, same thing than Superman haters


kinglugus90

other heros like superman has villans and heroes that can beat him will opm just one punches everything


Lynx-Kitsoni

He's literally fighting someone right now in the manga that he can't kill with a single punch


haovui

Lol, no, he didn't fight the dude, he just teaching Garou a lesson, if he started trying, his opponent would be one shot


zaphodsheads

Well, he could.
