The reason Saitama didn't achieve A or S rank was because he didn't have any feats or record of defeating monsters (You'll learn soon why the Hero Association doesn't know Saitama's feats and achievements), that combined with Saitama's low morality on the written test such as "You find a wallet with ID and cash inside, what would you do?" - Saitama's answer was along the lines of "I would take the money for myself and leave the wallet where I found it" LOL
Also, "A monster is approaching a populated area and evacuation is not yet completed. Reinforcements are on the way, but are still 5 minutes out. How would you deal with the monster." Saitama's answer: I'd punch it.
Just like Mumen Rider doesn't want to leave C Rank, and Fubuki doesn't want to leave B Rank, Sweet Mask's true power is not befitting of his Rank. I do like that, it brings a social dynamic to the hero society of OPM, where Ranks are not just indicative of your strength, but where you want to stay in society.
I watched the older reaction first, and I thought it was very interesting how different your reactions were between the two. In the first one you said the animation was great several times, and commented on the characters' movement. In this new one that focus shifted. You mentioned the music, the character's words contextualizing their actions, the deliberate use of different styles, minor artistic details, the choreography in small brief moments, the implications. The clear growth between the two is so wholesome to see.

They mentioned that ranking can also be affected by popularity, Mumen Rider (Bike Guy) has small-town handyman energy. Helping people out with even the smallest of things, so his rank is more reflective of how well liked he is.

His Helmet and Body-Suit do help him survive some ugly situations though.
This is my favorite of all the episodes. Many people react to just the fight scene in this, and I find it's so much better when seen in context. Anyway, the rankings do have merit. Most people start at the bottom of C and move up. But it isn't poerfect. A little history, which I do not believe to be a spoiler since it is just about the rankings, and a little on how it works. Initially, there was only C, B, and A ranks. But they discovered heroes that were far above the others and created an S rank just for them.

They discussed Muman Rider not wanting to move up from C to B class in this episode.
6:41 The fact that they recognized the fact that he physically broke every previous test result and they didn't do more with that information is one of the biggest plot holes in the show.
The craziest part is that as Saitama threw that punch he moved in front of the Shockwave so his body would block the blast so genos wouldn't end up as dust in the wind
Your pointing logic at anime bruh sometimes thats not always the case. It was just an error he didnt even have the braincells to think or do that bruh.
@ANWAR UBAIYADULLAH yo you have a gross misunderstanding of his character just because we see him acting goofy doesn't make that his persona he's actually very clever individual and we see this throughout the show genos was pushing Saitama to give a serious fight so Saitama showed him what a serious fight would end up like to shut him up he's not gonna throw a intentional punch at his friend what so you're saying for that moment he was like "oh shit I forgot I'm strong af this is gonna kill him let me go stop it" no that's not what happened
Classes from C to A more or less normal and have understandable scaling, but S class was created for monsters among humans. They are on a whole different level.
There's a theory (not mine) the reason why Saitama got Class C because he answered all the test "I'd punch it" also I think the CEO of hero association knew it was Saitama who saved the ball sack kid
Saitama’s power is the power of satire. The entire series is a jab at stereotypical anime/manga tropes. He basically exists to counter them while living surrounded by them.
I love that during the hero seminar Genos looks pissed off because they disrespected Saitama by giving him a C ranking, and then says to Amai Mask that it was a rubbish exam that was a complete waste of time for the same reason. He also sees even speaking to Amai Mask as a waste of time because he's taking up time that could be spent with Saitama. Genos uses polite/formal speech when talking to Saitama, but is super casual or even rude to everyone else, with the exception of Dr Kuseno.
The punching machine doesn’t just give of DBZ vibes, it’s an actual reference. And it basically looks exactly as when Vegeta punched his one to HIFL (HELL)
There are some exceptions to the rankings., just like you said. The biggest examples are: Class C Rank 1 mummen rider is one. He is only there for his popularity and for his spirit of awalys wanting to help. He dpesnt move up to B-Class because he knows he is too weak Class C Rank 390 saitama. You already know why Class B Rank 1 fubuki. She doesnt want to move up to A-Class because Amai Mask is there. She could get to Class A Rank 2 still, but she prefers to stay at first in something. Sibling issues. Class A Rank 1 Amai mask. He doesnt move up to S Class because he wants to control who goes to Class S. That's also why the association told him Genos had been placed there. Class S Rank 13 flashy flash and Rank 11 Superalloy Darkshine. Theyre very low (there are only 17 S Class heroes) because they always act in the shadows, but their strengh is easily rank 4, 5 or 6
don't know about darkshine being top 6, since the top 4 are blast, tatsumaki, metal knight and king with saitama, 5, 6 and 7 should be bang, flash and genos (not in specific order) since they have the best feat among the rest and can fight people that stomped darkshine. genos is up here because that 10 second overdrive is actually insane, in that 10 second, he's relative to full power tatsumaki and psychorochi
@@dimensionvisitor7689 im not taking saitama into account here. He will get there eventually but not now. Also metal knight is very difficult to judge so not considering them either. And genos still lacks defense, and also talking about this point in the anime. For me the individual capacity top is blast-tats-bang-flashy-darkshine, then MK and CE with their collective robot power. Still opinion of course but theyre definitely not 11 and 13 which was the point
I mean, I don't know if its ever covered anywhere, but if he was meant to be super weak and his limiter was meant to keep him super weak, who's to say that exercise plan wasn't enough to break it. Someone who has a crazy high limiter due to having extreme potential wouldn't be able to do it with the same routine, and might have to lift a mountain or something ridiculous.
Saitama's power came from his own desire, it was hinted in the first episode. There are some in that particular episode where the monsters that saitama fought became what they desire the most, and that's why saitama became strong because when he fought the crab monster he desires that he wanted to become the strongest hero and dreamed about it, we can actually see in that episode when he said that his eye's glows in red.
That's not the reason... it's explained in the manga, Saitama's power come from a very stupid reason he trained so hard (for his own limits, not like the training was really hard at all) that he breaked his own limitations, which allow him to use more power than he could even imagine. He basically broke through the limitations that god putted on him, and the result is his strength is above any other entity in that universe. Breaking the limitations from god it's the same as unlocking unlimited power, it's like if you have a top charge you can put on your cellphone but if you manage to charge more than it's allowed, then the battery can take unlimited amount of energy, that's basically the argument of his strength, he is beyond any other being in terms of strength because he doesn't have any limitations.
Saitama’s work out regiments how he got strong, he just left out some crucial details he probably deemed unimportant. First is that he took zero breaks. He did everything in one go without stopping for a breather. Second is that at any point during his workouts, if he saw a monster or villain, he would immediately go fight them and defeat them. What this led to, at least as far as the lore goes so far, is the breaking of his generic limiter. Every single life form has a genetic limiter, it’s why as you get stronger, it becomes more and more difficult to increase your strength. Saitama, on the other hand, has removed this limiter, meaning that his strength is theoretically limitless or beyond measure. It means that he doesn’t need a training by arc because his strength is already there. He can pretty much draw from an infinite well of strength and power.
"...did he just bomb the written part..." Many fans are of the opinion that the 'written part' asked questions about what one would do in a variety of situations, as well as facts, and any _sensible_ person would describe things like assessing the strengths or weaknesses of an opponent or trying to come up with a plan, but _Saitama's_ answer for all of that is 'punch it'. Which, for _him,_ is a _totally_ fair answer, and the _correct_ answer, but the _test_ is based on people who aren't Saitama.
BRO, I want so much to see your reaction to all the other episodes, because what happens in this anime next is just a bomb! I really love your reactions, you're the only reaction-youtuber I watch, because I don't even know how to say it... Your charisma is just a freaking cannon, it makes me joy to watch anime with you, even when I have watched it already. Only from you I don't want to instantly throw the computer out of the foking window out of boredom!) Please don't quit this anime 🙏
also, I would really love to see your reaction on "Hellsing (2001)", which has one of the best openings in anime history as straight fact, and "Hellsing: Ultimate", which is honestly one of the best anime overall all time, while being kind of remastered version of original anime tho
10:40 Ok, something to note. Look at the frames closely, for a single frame he appears to be past Genos. He didn't even hit Genos with the shockwave of the attack, just the residual energy it caused. He moved so fast he went past genos, threw that punch, which obliterated the landscape without touching it, then moved right back to in front of Genos to hold his fist out, and the shockwave of him moving back into position is what's blowing Genos away
@@fransthefox9682 so then, quick question. How is it, that much destructive force, in a shockwave, did not obliterate Genos? Because the shockwave was enough to obliterate a line in rock. Genos may be strong, and literally made of tougher stuff than rock, but there's no question he'd have been damaged if he got the full brunt of the shockwave, especially considering he's near the source of the cone of it, and it'd have been a concentrated force.
There is a theory as to why Saitama is so strong. It's a pretty simple theory, not confirmed. I believe the chapter should be adapted in the upcoming season 3. As for why Saitama was made a C-Class, the Hero Organisation has no idea the things he's done, the reason for which will be revealed in season 2. Even with the House of Evolution, they and Genos created a misunderstanding giving Genos all the credit for destroying the HoE. To them, Saitama is just an idiot with Godly strength who still has to prove his trustworthiness to them.
Here's a theory... Just how the crab monster become one after eating lots of crabs and how the car monster become after repairing so much cars... That means in Saitama's universe when you break your limits you become what you do Or what you want to be.... Just so Saitama was a ordinary person he do 100 pushups and situps it was easy for him to break his limits...and that's how he get his limitless powers... Or another theory is.. That... He might be a God in human body but he just doesn't know it...
now thinking of the manga and of geno's finally doing that to saitama but then stopping not because didnt wanna destory saitama but more so because he realized he would'nt have done anything to him all he was- was a bright light to saitama so instead of blocking or dodging or just taking it genos saw his masters in-action as more of a "oh i'm still just an inconvence..." thoe he had gotten as strong as THIS instance of saitama so i think it was a success. aanyway apparently ONE does remakes of old chapters he doesnt like so am now dealing with that- went from chapter 200 ssomething back down to 195 cause apparently ONE didnt like how it was turning out or something
Saitama ranking is a phenomenon that you can see in Dragon Ball Z end of Cell Arc and whole Buu Arc. Saitama is so strong most people cannot believe it is real.
So the ranking do matter but they also don't. It's probably just best to keep in mind that some heroes are in higher ranks because of their strength while some heroes higher ranks have nothing to do with their strength.
Its not a spoiler (especially by the time you read this). S-Class was specially made. Its for people who are either really powerful or who's powers don't fit well in the normal ranking. For example Metal Bat was Rank B but his power is so weird he's much stronger than he seemed at the time. Pig God is likely the same. But regardless S is the strongest. There is no rank above them but powers within that tier are quite varied. Like, the bottom of Rank S couldn't even lay a finger on the top of Rank S (IMO)
They'll talk a little bit about what makes Saitama so strong, but honestly, its just a vague. I think it will always be that way, since it doesn't matter to the story. The truth is just, "He's a dude somehow got really strong" It works like this: Imagine how when shounen anime MC fights, they always get a little stronger than each bad guy they fight. Widen that gap of "always stronger" so Saitama is always crazy strong against whoever he is fighting. Even if he shows his full power against one guy, against another even stronger, his full power is just as high above that one too. Its a Shounen protagonist without the effort the exhert in their respective stories.
Idk much about it but it's something like Saitama strayed from the path of normal human evolutionary law or something. Think there is an upcoming arc that he fights against an actual god or something. Not sure though.
My personal headcanon/theory about Saitama doing so poor on the written test: All of the questions were along the lines of "You encounter a Dragon-level threat alone, what do you do?" and with Saitama's absurd strength he answers "I punch it." Without the context of his strength he'd seem like he was insane because what other C Class hero would punch a dragon level threat?
bro neel just see the most random bozo npc side character on the screen and goes ayoo that character design is fireeee uahsuahusahuha i find that funny
Actually he got his power by doing that workout only, because in this universe u can become whatever u want if u train for that ,and saitama removed his limitor by doing that workout for 3 years ...
It's not like that, i mean it's not like everyone can do that. His willpower was what made it possible. That limitations it not something that everyone can break in that universe, that's why there is only one Saitama, and not several heroes with that much power. It's almost like Garou becoming a monster, but even beyond that. It's silly and a very stupid justification for his power but it's also a satire so it goes well with the serie.
You ask what is it? A good version of god gave him his power is the theory going around, and that power is infinite, and he sneezed and jupiter went X_X in chapter 167 I believe or 168 or 267 or 278 idk smt like that, but be prepared if you read the manga.
Amai Mask is S rank level but he stay at A rank 1 because he does not want other who is weak to become S rank. Additional information, you will need to get to the 1st of each rank for promotion for example, you need to get C rank number 1 to be promote to B rank and you need to be B rank number 1 to be promote to A rank. So you can say that Amai Mask purposely stay at A rank number 1 to stop the people that he think unqualified to become S rank from promoting and only allow those who he think is strong enough to become S rank (such as Genos).
You said “imagine if that hit you” but Saitama diddnt hit the mountain either that was just the force behind that punch and yet that amount of forced somehow manage to curve around Genos lol
spoilers i think not sure but be warned basically amai mask is a rank number 1 because he wants to prevents others from advnacing to s rank unless he approves cases like genos are special exceptions, amai mask was asked to be promoted but he refused and continues to stay rank 1 in a class isntead to prevent weak and fake heros according to his philosphy to ever becoming s class heroes
His origin is not a secret. He did not lie about the training regime. But he is so absentminded that he forgot to mention a certain fact that is shown much later in bonus chapters. *SPOILER ALERT* I am not doing this. Read manga.
@@rainbowprism6242 well that scientist guy said the theory of how Saitama got strong We don't know the real reason of his strength Like how do you even break your limiter and how is only Saitama able to do that?
just so you know, saitama actually does not have a very good morality due to him losing his humanity. there's one statement about how if one day saitama got bored enough, he might destroy the world because that boredom
@@jashan8282 So he can erase the Gods of Destruction, Daishinkan, the angels, Zeno Guardians and Zeno? Or they have some type of immnunity to Hakai? Which much probably Saitama would have too. Bro Saitama final enemy is a 4D being (at minimum). While the strongest DBS character is 3D (Zeno).
You're taking Saitama's capabilities source too serious, the anime was meant to be a satire to fighting anime, like underdogs becoming godlike fighters through struggle, like Ichigo from Bleach, etc. just they did it sarcastically with normal training to make a mockery out of it. But the show gained popularity and thus also seriousness, especially starting with season 2 that for me is better than season 1. Garo is my fav character, he is barely mentioned as Silverfanflg's disciple gone rogue in this season.

Class C Rank 390 saitama. You already know why
Class B Rank 1 fubuki. She doesnt want to move up to A-Class because Amai Mask is there. She could get to Class A Rank 2 still, but she prefers to stay at first in something. Sibling issues.
Class A Rank 1 Amai mask. He doesnt move up to S Class because he wants to control who goes to Class S. That's also why the association told him Genos had been placed there.
Class S Rank 13 flashy flash and Rank 11 Superalloy Darkshine. Theyre very low (there are only 17 S Class heroes) because they always act in the shadows, but their strengh is easily rank 4, 5 or 6
don't know about darkshine being top 6, since the top 4 are blast, tatsumaki, metal knight and king with saitama, 5, 6 and 7 should be bang, flash and genos (not in specific order) since they have the best feat among the rest and can fight people that stomped darkshine. genos is up here because that 10 second overdrive is actually insane, in that 10 second, he's relative to full power tatsumaki and psychorochi
@@dimensionvisitor7689 im not taking saitama into account here. He will get there eventually but not now. Also metal knight is very difficult to judge so not considering them either. And genos still lacks defense, and also talking about this point in the anime. For me the individual capacity top is blast-tats-bang-flashy-darkshine, then MK and CE with their collective robot power. Still opinion of course but theyre definitely not 11 and 13 which was the point
I mean, I don't know if its ever covered anywhere, but if he was meant to be super weak and his limiter was meant to keep him super weak, who's to say that exercise plan wasn't enough to break it. Someone who has a crazy high limiter due to having extreme potential wouldn't be able to do it with the same routine, and might have to lift a mountain or something ridiculous.
You are one of the BEST Reaction channel i Found for anime !!
Saitama's power came from his own desire, it was hinted in the first episode. There are some in that particular episode where the monsters that saitama fought became what they desire the most, and that's why saitama became strong because when he fought the crab monster he desires that he wanted to become the strongest hero and dreamed about it, we can actually see in that episode when he said that his eye's glows in red.
That's not the reason... it's explained in the manga, Saitama's power come from a very stupid reason he trained so hard (for his own limits, not like the training was really hard at all) that he breaked his own limitations, which allow him to use more power than he could even imagine. He basically broke through the limitations that god putted on him, and the result is his strength is above any other entity in that universe. Breaking the limitations from god it's the same as unlocking unlimited power, it's like if you have a top charge you can put on your cellphone but if you manage to charge more than it's allowed, then the battery can take unlimited amount of energy, that's basically the argument of his strength, he is beyond any other being in terms of strength because he doesn't have any limitations.
Saitama’s work out regiments how he got strong, he just left out some crucial details he probably deemed unimportant. First is that he took zero breaks. He did everything in one go without stopping for a breather. Second is that at any point during his workouts, if he saw a monster or villain, he would immediately go fight them and defeat them. What this led to, at least as far as the lore goes so far, is the breaking of his generic limiter. Every single life form has a genetic limiter, it’s why as you get stronger, it becomes more and more difficult to increase your strength. Saitama, on the other hand, has removed this limiter, meaning that his strength is theoretically limitless or beyond measure. It means that he doesn’t need a training by arc because his strength is already there. He can pretty much draw from an infinite well of strength and power.
"...did he just bomb the written part..."
Many fans are of the opinion that the 'written part' asked questions about what one would do in a variety of situations, as well as facts, and any _sensible_ person would describe things like assessing the strengths or weaknesses of an opponent or trying to come up with a plan, but _Saitama's_ answer for all of that is 'punch it'. Which, for _him,_ is a _totally_ fair answer, and the _correct_ answer, but the _test_ is based on people who aren't Saitama.
BRO, I want so much to see your reaction to all the other episodes, because what happens in this anime next is just a bomb! I really love your reactions, you're the only reaction-youtuber I watch, because I don't even know how to say it... Your charisma is just a freaking cannon, it makes me joy to watch anime with you, even when I have watched it already. Only from you I don't want to instantly throw the computer out of the foking window out of boredom!)
Please don't quit this anime 🙏
also, I would really love to see your reaction on "Hellsing (2001)", which has one of the best openings in anime history as straight fact, and "Hellsing: Ultimate", which is honestly one of the best anime overall all time, while being kind of remastered version of original anime tho
Genos: Can I live here?
Saitama: Absolutely not!
Genos: I have money.
Saitama: Where's the blow up mattress?
Caped baldy is actually his official hero name later
I can't imagine, how powerful you need to be that Saitama fights with you, as he fought in his dream (episode 1) (After all what i know from manga)
Saitama's streng is made of pure will power, he can do whatever he want to do.
11:42 That question is addressed in Vol. 27 of the manga. Hang in there! 😁
the budget goes CRAZY whenever Genos shows up in any fight
10:40 Ok, something to note. Look at the frames closely, for a single frame he appears to be past Genos. He didn't even hit Genos with the shockwave of the attack, just the residual energy it caused. He moved so fast he went past genos, threw that punch, which obliterated the landscape without touching it, then moved right back to in front of Genos to hold his fist out, and the shockwave of him moving back into position is what's blowing Genos away
You must be seeing things, because I checked each individual frame, and he didn't move past Genos. He literally just cancelled the punch, that's it.
@@fransthefox9682 so then, quick question. How is it, that much destructive force, in a shockwave, did not obliterate Genos? Because the shockwave was enough to obliterate a line in rock. Genos may be strong, and literally made of tougher stuff than rock, but there's no question he'd have been damaged if he got the full brunt of the shockwave, especially considering he's near the source of the cone of it, and it'd have been a concentrated force.
@@fireblast133 You are questioning anime logic.
@@fransthefox9682 Saitama doesn’t have the power to fine tune what he hits. Just the power behind hits.
3:03 Bruh..."S-Class." "S-Tier."
It's the top...The best...and a term that's used even before One Punch Man.
I thought the video was sped up but he was actually talking really fast
You will soon grow to love Mumen Rider.
There is a theory as to why Saitama is so strong. It's a pretty simple theory, not confirmed. I believe the chapter should be adapted in the upcoming season 3. As for why Saitama was made a C-Class, the Hero Organisation has no idea the things he's done, the reason for which will be revealed in season 2. Even with the House of Evolution, they and Genos created a misunderstanding giving Genos all the credit for destroying the HoE. To them, Saitama is just an idiot with Godly strength who still has to prove his trustworthiness to them.
He broke his limits set by god!!!
Here's a theory... Just how the crab monster become one after eating lots of crabs and how the car monster become after repairing so much cars... That means in Saitama's universe when you break your limits you become what you do Or what you want to be.... Just so Saitama was a ordinary person he do 100 pushups and situps it was easy for him to break his limits...and that's how he get his limitless powers...
Or another theory is.. That... He might be a God in human body but he just doesn't know it...
now thinking of the manga and of geno's finally doing that to saitama but then stopping not because didnt wanna destory saitama but more so because he realized he would'nt have done anything to him all he was-
was a bright light to saitama so instead of blocking or dodging or just taking it genos saw his masters in-action as more of a "oh i'm still just an inconvence..."
thoe he had gotten as strong as THIS instance of saitama so i think it was a success.
aanyway apparently ONE does remakes of old chapters he doesnt like so am now dealing with that- went from chapter 200 ssomething back down to 195 cause apparently ONE didnt like how it was turning out or something
Saitama ranking is a phenomenon that you can see in Dragon Ball Z end of Cell Arc and whole Buu Arc. Saitama is so strong most people cannot believe it is real.
Saitama moved in front of the shockwave to protect genos
So the ranking do matter but they also don't. It's probably just best to keep in mind that some heroes are in higher ranks because of their strength while some heroes higher ranks have nothing to do with their strength.
man said 500 likes and its already 700+ likes after 1h
7:17 lol tonpa wannabe 😂😂
Not even Blast can compete with Rookie Crusher Tonpa. The reason why he's so absent is because of THE JUICE
Its not a spoiler (especially by the time you read this).
S-Class was specially made. Its for people who are either really powerful or who's powers don't fit well in the normal ranking. For example Metal Bat was Rank B but his power is so weird he's much stronger than he seemed at the time. Pig God is likely the same. But regardless S is the strongest. There is no rank above them but powers within that tier are quite varied. Like, the bottom of Rank S couldn't even lay a finger on the top of Rank S (IMO)
They'll talk a little bit about what makes Saitama so strong, but honestly, its just a vague. I think it will always be that way, since it doesn't matter to the story. The truth is just, "He's a dude somehow got really strong"
It works like this: Imagine how when shounen anime MC fights, they always get a little stronger than each bad guy they fight. Widen that gap of "always stronger" so Saitama is always crazy strong against whoever he is fighting. Even if he shows his full power against one guy, against another even stronger, his full power is just as high above that one too. Its a Shounen protagonist without the effort the exhert in their respective stories.
Now this is the sitama i want to see OMG punch of Death
These a theory that saitama has an ability that is called immeasurable strength
Saitama when he got old he taught son goku
You should react to RECORD OF RAGNOROK It is absolute HEAT!!!!!!
Idk much about it but it's something like Saitama strayed from the path of normal human evolutionary law or something. Think there is an upcoming arc that he fights against an actual god or something. Not sure though.
My personal headcanon/theory about Saitama doing so poor on the written test: All of the questions were along the lines of "You encounter a Dragon-level threat alone, what do you do?" and with Saitama's absurd strength he answers "I punch it." Without the context of his strength he'd seem like he was insane because what other C Class hero would punch a dragon level threat?
bro neel just see the most random bozo npc side character on the screen and goes ayoo that character design is fireeee
uahsuahusahuha i find that funny
Looking forward to seeing the Sea King fight
I hate how YT removed the from old to new feature from the YT video tab
Same, who actually went out of their way and was like “this shit needs to go”
Genos basically S tier Bakugo
Actually he got his power by doing that workout only, because in this universe u can become whatever u want if u train for that ,and saitama removed his limitor by doing that workout for 3 years ...
It's not like that, i mean it's not like everyone can do that. His willpower was what made it possible. That limitations it not something that everyone can break in that universe, that's why there is only one Saitama, and not several heroes with that much power. It's almost like Garou becoming a monster, but even beyond that. It's silly and a very stupid justification for his power but it's also a satire so it goes well with the serie.
Leave the Rookie Crushing to the experience, the Goat Tonpa.
HxH
You should react to RECORD OF RAGNOROK Opening And Ending!!!!!!!!! They are FIRE, So is the anime.
Amai mask guy is basically a gatekeeper, not allowing unworthy to get to S rank
Just wait for the last episode man you'll see how bad ass he really is
You ask what is it? A good version of god gave him his power is the theory going around, and that power is infinite, and he sneezed and jupiter went X_X in chapter 167 I believe or 168 or 267 or 278 idk smt like that, but be prepared if you read the manga.
i love genos desingn very cool and saitama serious mode🤩🤩
Amai mask, is a alien.
Amai Mask is S rank level but he stay at A rank 1 because he does not want other who is weak to become S rank. Additional information, you will need to get to the 1st of each rank for promotion for example, you need to get C rank number 1 to be promote to B rank and you need to be B rank number 1 to be promote to A rank. So you can say that Amai Mask purposely stay at A rank number 1 to stop the people that he think unqualified to become S rank from promoting and only allow those who he think is strong enough to become S rank (such as Genos).
Don't worry bro, all will be revealed on why he's simply that strong.
Genos is there just to show how powerful Saitama is.
You said “imagine if that hit you” but Saitama diddnt hit the mountain either that was just the force behind that punch and yet that amount of forced somehow manage to curve around Genos lol
Who said money can't buy happiness?
💀
Y'know one doesn't need to always try to talk to the audience, it's sometimes okay to focus on the screen and let the face tell everything
What kind of pc do you have neel?
Dunno lol I’m not much into pc, I had a friend build it last year. All I know is that it has 3090 and stuff
amai mask is my fav in this series.
this guy literally have a great philosophy and i respect this guy more than saitama. (if you know what I mean)
You should ask for 1.5k+ likes from now on
He already told you the training plan trust saitama bro
OPM is like one giant parody anime that makes fun of all the typical Shonen tropes lol so don't think too hard about his power 🤣
spoilers i think not sure but be warned basically amai mask is a rank number 1 because he wants to prevents others from advnacing to s rank unless he approves cases like genos are special exceptions, amai mask was asked to be promoted but he refused and continues to stay rank 1 in a class isntead to prevent weak and fake heros according to his philosphy to ever becoming s class heroes
Cool reaction
500 likes in less than an hour? can we do it?
Yup done
Jsuk , no it doesn't get boring , yes he's the strongest being in the universe, but the show plays with that like a fiddle , just right
Can u do the Magi reaction soon?
"Oppai" in japanese means "tities/breast".
even in the manga until now saitama power remain a mystery. so we gotta wait for a long time to know his origin of power
Bro no it's not a mystery
Read chapter 88
@@mrbasstor8981 it's still a mystery
His origin is not a secret. He did not lie about the training regime. But he is so absentminded that he forgot to mention a certain fact that is shown much later in bonus chapters.
*SPOILER ALERT*
I am not doing this. Read manga.
@@rainbowprism6242 well that scientist guy said the theory of how Saitama got strong
We don't know the real reason of his strength
Like how do you even break your limiter and how is only Saitama able to do that?
@@jashan8282 Read bro...., understand what Dr.Genes said.
I don't wanna give a huge spoiler here or I could tell what's in there.
he broke his limiter
just so you know, saitama actually does not have a very good morality due to him losing his humanity. there's one statement about how if one day saitama got bored enough, he might destroy the world because that boredom
and people think Goku would beat saitama
Hakai goes brrrrrrr
Arale-chan and Saitama is a much better matchup
@@jashan8282 Saitama has hax immunity
@@higorss it's stated that hakai can destroy anything i mean anything
Ghosts,angels,even gag characters
Saitama is a gag character
@@jashan8282 So he can erase the Gods of Destruction, Daishinkan, the angels, Zeno Guardians and Zeno? Or they have some type of immnunity to Hakai? Which much probably Saitama would have too.
Bro Saitama final enemy is a 4D being (at minimum). While the strongest DBS character is 3D (Zeno).
Me wondering why TH-cam recommended your video to me 🤨. Bro u react to much more than myself

What about the meteor? That's lit
Next Next!!!!!!!!!
You're taking Saitama's capabilities source too serious, the anime was meant to be a satire to fighting anime, like underdogs becoming godlike fighters through struggle, like Ichigo from Bleach, etc. just they did it sarcastically with normal training to make a mockery out of it. But the show gained popularity and thus also seriousness, especially starting with season 2 that for me is better than season 1. Garo is my fav character, he is barely mentioned as Silverfanflg's disciple gone rogue in this season.
The reason Saitama is so strong is because he removed his limiter..
Tho we don't know how he did it :v
I LIKE THIS🔥🔥🔥
