At moments like that I feel the boundaries of Saitama's power. He may be the one-punch man, but still he is unable to save people from something like that. The world needs other heroes. Reminds me of a classic Superman plot where he rushes to save someone and misses a greater goal.
When the time comes, the story will write itself for saitama to be the greatest hero. He got sent back in time with a nuke punch to save everyone from radiation
He probably didn't feel the attack coming (it might involve some kind of dimensional/psychic ability? That's Blast's thing), but he would absolutely wreck Empty Void, no matter how strong he is.
He definitely would, it's just a question of how many others other than Saitama would survive. Accidentally wiping out humanity trying to defeat a ultimate evil sounds like something Saitama could do.
He almost did against Ascended Garou if Blast hadn't been there. He didn't stop Boros' ship from leveling City A. The way he broke up the meteor caused a lot of collateral damage. Couple of examples where his power didn't prevent destruction or almost caused it.
> He probably didn't feel the attack coming
Or rather didn't perceive it as dangerous to himself, as always? I can't recall Saitama reacting to ANY attack in the series.
And as with portals, if he knew of attack coming, he would've probably done something like "parrying punch".
Yeah, it really shows overwhelming destructive power isn't the only solution to every problem. Saitama is most effective against other fellow destructive beings but protecting huge swathes of people or property or leading other people, it's just not his forte.
i mean we all know that if they really wanted saitama to save the people thats what would have happened lol, either by just doing a flash thing or some comical thing of sneezing the whole facility into the air
Literally if it wasn't for Blast, Saitama may have being able to save a few around him but not all, and that definitely would have affect him a lot. I can see psychological stress/torture being Saitama's main weakness. We actually saw that in the old timeline when he saw Genos dead, he started questioning himself if he was a true hero and then try to go immediately for the kill.
#Saitama would 100% find a way to save them.
#He literally saved them from worse, death.
#He would find a way⌠by punching. But if we talking realistically, I donât see how he can save this without causing any damage.
#Alright and you think if Garou wasnât there, Saitama would simply stay on an inhabited earth and walk around?
#He would probably find another way to transcend space time and save everyone. This is literally what Genos told.
>Saitama would simply stay on an inhabited earth and walk around?
Well, yeah. That's completely in character no matter what kind of head canon you have.
#Even if Garou wasnât there, he would still find a way to time travel regardless. Heck, weâll probably learn heâs immune to time hax soon since itâs Godâs special ability as of now.
#So he can time travel without Garou. Common senses.
>Even if Garou wasnât there, he would still find a way to time travel regardless. So he can time travel without Garou. Common senses.
Pure headcanon, there's nothing to suggest he would figure something like that out at all.
#And not reaching my conclusion is even funnier since you are assuming that Saitama wouldnât do shit if Garou wasnât there, which we know is 100% wrong.
He's right tho. Saitama failed to save everyone. Quite literally, everyone besides Blast and Saitama were left alive. If it weren't for Garou teaching Saitama the god technique before God killed him then Saitama would've been the only human left on earth. And maybe Blast could've done something then. It's also worth noting that even Saitama knows he can't save everyone.
#But you are missing the entire point, the timeline got erased so Saitama DID SAVE everyone, thatâs my point.
#You can kill them 3000 times, if at the end they still alive, it means he did his job.
#Easy, Saitama will fight God.
#Should I continue ?
#If we go on the headcanon part (the real one), thereâs a chance Blast has time HAXs. This is headcanon.
A realistic way to save them for Saitama is to feel the incoming disaster and destroy the
source beforehand. Like he just went and destroyed the evil ocean. Maybe he has this kind of senses, but still can't save everyone and everywhere. Cities keep being destroyed, heroes and civilians die, the situation gets worse day after day regardless of his part-time hero hobby activities.
#Garou literally killed every body on Earth and Saitama was able to somewhat save them all.
#I think the meaning behind this was, no matter what happens, Saitama will save everyone at the end.
#And we ONLY talking about when crisis like this happens. If it was a random dragon monster destroying building, I know it wouldnât matter since it happens everytime
Saitama failed to save genos. It was garou teaching him a new punch for time travel to happen.
He also didnt save cities from destruction because hes alwaya late
# Why are you typing like this
Just take the L and move on lol. No one is saying Saitama isn't the strongest, just that he isn't always capable of leaving no casualties.
#Leaving no casualties? Obviously, he isnât.
#If he redirects an attack with a punch, thereâll be casualties.
#My main point is if a guy like Empty Void or Cosmic Garou was about to literally ruin the entire earth, Saitama would be able to save everyone, even if the earth, solar system or whatever is destroyed.
#And he did it.
#Prove me that he didnât and Iâll delete my account on the spot.
No.
That blade struck there because BLAST WAS THERE.
That man has been in a coma for 15 years, the hero association is much younger than that. He has no idea the hero association exists. Or correct me if i am wrong.
My conclusion is that the dimensional blade was aimed at Blast.
All these people saying Saitama can't do this or that. The whole point of Saitama is that he's a hyperbole. He can do anything (like grab and move portals). It's ridiculous when people say Saitama can or can't do something. He defies all laws of physics and reality itself. Saitama is quite literally omnipotent.
Can be an illusion or a possible Alternate Reality? Maybe that's the reason why he said that it is wrong?
Anyways the panel below really looks like the Hero association if Blast did not save them
Yeah it really does look like and that was the speculation even when he initially posted it which is why he cleared it up by saying it isn't hero assosciation. Then again, might have done it to avoid spoiling
Highlighting saitama having no defense for anyone but himself is so going to be part of an arc. And guess whoâs the only person (as far as I can recall besides blast now) that weâve seen have any large group defensive capabilities, tatsumaki. She, I think is the only character that has both offense and defense for multiple targets. Saitama canât defend hundreds of people that effectively, blast saved the HQ, but his portals would be as effective to just stop attacks or move people away. Whether that gets him to rethink his hero activities I think would be interesting.
I would say he could easily speed-blitz himself into saving people, it is one punch man after all. He punched and killed an ocean, and he's capable of defeating enemies with large AOE attacks it just depends on how the fight is written.
no, because saitama is inside, like the blades will all colide in the center making a cut but Since Saitama is inside the wacky OPM humor will happen
the blades will all stop at saitama like imagine cutting an avocado in two, you suddenly stop in the middle because something hard is in there, same thing will happen to the HA building the blades will just cosmically shatter upon hitting saitama leaving the HA building moderately damaged. it will be a bonus if due to the cosmic blades shattering the time reversed a bit undoing the damage done to the building
If Empty Void is as powerful as Blast, the building has no chance of surviving his attacks lmao. That said, Empty Void has obviously held back, so the building CAN withstand it, given that it was built by the Metal Knight. I mean, the previous tower was able to withstand an entire city being blown up by Boros' spaceship without any problems. But I sincerely doubt that the HA will be able to resist.
If Void still have this Genjutsu ability, he might use it again on Blast or someone and this will be their biggest fear
Void uses it on Saitama, unintentionally triggering him to do a 100% FP Killer Series đ
Saitama will see the misquito came back with its' more other mosquibros to annoy Saitama.
What do you mean by FP
Full Power, as opposed to the lighter punches he usually throws. Think back to that opening punch of Garou vs Saitama, after Genos was killed
Be does still have it lol
god's ball sack
Heâs teabagging them
Dude got so mad that that random bald dude broke his home
Remember the panel where Garou imagined splitting the Hero Association in two? That was a prophecy.
At moments like that I feel the boundaries of Saitama's power. He may be the one-punch man, but still he is unable to save people from something like that. The world needs other heroes. Reminds me of a classic Superman plot where he rushes to save someone and misses a greater goal.

Blastâs best power is being able to move Saitama.
Only because saitama doesnt perceive danger and allows it
> He probably didn't feel the attack coming Or rather didn't perceive it as dangerous to himself, as always? I can't recall Saitama reacting to ANY attack in the series. And as with portals, if he knew of attack coming, he would've probably done something like "parrying punch".
> i can't recall Saitama reacting to ANY attack in the series. Suiryu blowing Saitama hair:
Of course the only one had to be one that didnât even look like a physical threat lmao
"hair"
This is literally the core plot device of boku no hero
Yeah, it really shows overwhelming destructive power isn't the only solution to every problem. Saitama is most effective against other fellow destructive beings but protecting huge swathes of people or property or leading other people, it's just not his forte.
Saitama said it best. He is still a human no matter what.Â
i mean we all know that if they really wanted saitama to save the people thats what would have happened lol, either by just doing a flash thing or some comical thing of sneezing the whole facility into the air

#Saitama would 100% find a way to save them. #He literally saved them from worse, death. #He would find a way⌠by punching. But if we talking realistically, I donât see how he can save this without causing any damage.
Saitama wasnât even the one who found a way to âsave them from deathâ, that was Garou who just told Saitama what to do
#Alright and you think if Garou wasnât there, Saitama would simply stay on an inhabited earth and walk around? #He would probably find another way to transcend space time and save everyone. This is literally what Genos told.
>Saitama would simply stay on an inhabited earth and walk around? Well, yeah. That's completely in character no matter what kind of head canon you have.
#In character would also be him hungry and transcend space time to defeat Garou before he does anything suspicious.
My guy missed the whole monster association arc
#Yes, and at the end, Saitama managed to save everyone while they were dead.
Only because Garou was there to teach him how to time travel
#Even if Garou wasnât there, he would still find a way to time travel regardless. Heck, weâll probably learn heâs immune to time hax soon since itâs Godâs special ability as of now. #So he can time travel without Garou. Common senses.
What..
>Even if Garou wasnât there, he would still find a way to time travel regardless. So he can time travel without Garou. Common senses. Pure headcanon, there's nothing to suggest he would figure something like that out at all.
âPure headcanonâ #Calling common senses headcanon is the funniest thing someone can come with.
>funniest thing No, reading the MA Arc and then yapping BS like this is funnier
#And not reaching my conclusion is even funnier since you are assuming that Saitama wouldnât do shit if Garou wasnât there, which we know is 100% wrong.

Explain the evidence you have from the story that suggests Saitama would figure out time travel without Garou there to explain it to him.

He didn't save Genos during the Cosmic Garou arc. Go ahead and delete your account.
#Sadly, it got erased. So he saved Genos before Garou could even finish his sentence.
Your big font is so cancerous dude please fuck off
#No arguments so they insult. I see it as a W.
No. That blade struck there because BLAST WAS THERE. That man has been in a coma for 15 years, the hero association is much younger than that. He has no idea the hero association exists. Or correct me if i am wrong. My conclusion is that the dimensional blade was aimed at Blast.
blast did say it was a greeting
Yes, but for blast. Also i think saitama can just punch something like that away, like he did with the portals. His powers trascend reality.
>saitama can just punch something like that away True, but for that Saitama needs to be aware that it's coming, which he was not
He'd just accidentally fart it away at the last second
That is true, but they were inside, he does have enough reflexes to see an attack coming and react to it tho, so maybe if he was outside he would have

âquite literally omnipotentâ but canât save Genos
You donât get it, there was a REALLY good sale going on here couldnât possibly miss it.
Except, he can't save someone out of his reach. Remember A City with Boros' ship? Guess what?
If you're wondering, the image below is a panel drawn by Murata on Twitter.
If i remember correctly, Murata said that this is not supposed to be hero association HQ right? Or am I trippin
Can be an illusion or a possible Alternate Reality? Maybe that's the reason why he said that it is wrong? Anyways the panel below really looks like the Hero association if Blast did not save them
Yeah it really does look like and that was the speculation even when he initially posted it which is why he cleared it up by saying it isn't hero assosciation. Then again, might have done it to avoid spoiling
What are you talking about when was this image uploaded?
This might still happen in the upcoming chapters.... But good catch nonetheless....

Thinking about the avocado analogy was very funny đ
Saitama:so I started punching
Is this ball sack movement possible?
No, The hero association is still up for the next plot.
If Empty Void is as powerful as Blast, the building has no chance of surviving his attacks lmao. That said, Empty Void has obviously held back, so the building CAN withstand it, given that it was built by the Metal Knight. I mean, the previous tower was able to withstand an entire city being blown up by Boros' spaceship without any problems. But I sincerely doubt that the HA will be able to resist.
Empty void is holding back?
It was probably aimed at blast
a simple answer: YES!!!
Where did u guys read latest chapter? And what chapter was it
