The low effort crop, paste, and enhance from murata and his team adds all the charm to it and is honestly up there for me with the king, atomic samurai and apple cutting saga in terms of pure peak webcomic esque humor
Im pretty sure someone analyzed this picture and said that the artist drew the exact same thing twice but placed saitama closer. If you look at the rock on top of saitama's head on the bottom panel, you can see that the sketches look slightly different from the top
I really want a panel where someone does a super-powerboosting-ultra-power up with like spiritual flames all around them (yes, basically Goku going super S) and for Saitama to just straight up GRAB HIS POWER AURA and toss it aside and say “dude.. you were on fire.”
Faces off against another ninja doing hand signs and he goes "what's that do?" Then does a bunch of random hand signs himself super fast and accidentally casts an absurdly powerful ninjutsu that he panics and has to prevent from going off.
It’s a recessive trait and only ~2% of the world’s population can do that. Saitama must be special.
(this fact was brought to you by my 9th grade biology teacher and I have not looked anything up to confirm since I can also wiggle my ears and want to be special)
100% Air pressure.
Reminder, Saitama turned a mountain not into just dust, but atomized that mfer with nothing but air. He CLEARED the mountain out.
His air pressure punches are stronger than atomic bombs lol
It's cover art, but also doesn't matter since it's not his most impressive strength feat. (Isn't it more impressive Durability wise to not be affected by 2 black holes right beside you?)
But why??? It's such a perfect display of power for Saitama, and i don't see it being a problem for the story to continue.. did they mention any reasoning behind it?
It seems they were not satisfied with how the story is proceeding. Us, readers were also complaining about it (it usually doesn't matter to authors) so they ended up changing it.
Then where did you get this information that it was redrawn? You stated it, so it had to come from somewhere, and if it's something from the likes of twitter then there should be comments explaining the reasons.
The latest released version of the comic, which will probably be what's printed doesn't include that fight and instead as the same cutaway gag as the webcomics ( they get ready to fight that man and when they get there he's been stomped by saitama off screen)
The panel with the sliced block posted earlier has no continuation and doesn't lead to the current arc it is most definitely cut
I got this info from this sub. Also there are some repeated chapter numbers on the websites I read manga from, where the new ones are marked as "Redrawn".
It can't be that hard to varify this info !!...
Yeah this is up there with Phoenix man for most annoying redraws. The dimension slash was such a cool display of Void’s power, with a simultaneously awesome moment for Saitama just grabbing it
Yeah, I like the ones where he does more than infinite strength alone would allow. Entering Phoenix Man's spiritual place takes more than a really big punch.
I think him entering Phoenix Man's spiritual realm was just a whole other level of power, not physical, just immeasurable power. And the casual nonchalant response was perfect.
Definitely Serious Punch squared, ppl don't seem to realize that's at least billions of stars disintegrated in slide 6. That much energy can't really be quantified
Honestly, despite it being more than horrendously obvious that Siatama is in-fact stronger than a mountain, this is a great panel composition that works well to display Saitama's durability
Of course we the readers know it's obvious that he's tougher than a mountain, but seeing or hearing another character confirm his strength is always satisfying
All of them are Godlike displays of power, but the most OP display of power is him turning back time. No other characters can do that, yes Garou discovers the technique but the one who's successfully used it is Saitama. But unfortunately he doesn't remember to use it.
If he didn't use this technique everyone on earth will die because of radiation from cosmic Garou and his Nuclear Fist. He probably loses his humanity and becomes a threat for the whole universe and other dimensions as well.
I kinda liked when he limbo-dodged Garou's portal punch, sprung back and punched him back through it. Although it may be less exciting than his other monents
Stopping Void's D-blade twice. That was just so badass. Sadly it's now non-canon. Entering Phoenix-man's space is a honorable mention; it was just too funny.
I was bummed when he didn’t even remember the zero punch…. But it does really work with his aloof characterization. And admittedly, him remaining a complete unknown among the HA is amusing, both because he won’t advocate for himself and all of the HA are so self absorbed that when they do witness his immeasurable strength their egos won’t even let it register that they are not the same.
But he literally knocked the god mode out of garo butt ass naked.
And if not zero punch then sneezing a hole through Jupiter is a personal favorite. or farting his way back to earth through the Kuiper Belt after garo through him the opposite direction.
Bruh what? Saitama and Garou doing everything they didi reads as a fanfic. A terrible one at that. Everything they did was so wild out of place and shoehorned that I’m surprised most of the public seems to think it’s in character for Saitama to behave this way and also be in character. I however agree about your statement about the hero associations view on Saitama and stuff.
What part exactly? Like saitama agreeing to stop garo without killing him? I mean him noticing that garo was acc gently helping people and him noticing anything really was out of place.
The Jupiter sneeze and the phoenix space being broken into, like the second one is so creative, like how did he break into it when it doesn't even have a physical form 😭😭opm is the most creative power out there
Jupiter can ve destroed with enough force so technically in terms of laws of physics it is possible but him coming back to earth by farting requires him to be faster than light. So I choose farting back to the Earth.
And yall forget, Saitama does all this shit causally! Not trying, just casual. The multiverse is in literal danger if Saitama ever grits his teeth and yells.
people seem to forget that he traveled the distance between the earth and the sun, instantly, with a fart, and followed that up by immediately stopping from that speed, all while in a space (a vacuum)
The sneeze is the most physically impressive solo feat I'd think. Lifting all that mass, something like 150 Earths, would require a tremendous amount of force, and he managed that across the vacuum of space with one lung full of thin Io air.
As much as I love both the manga and the webcomic, nothing beats the first season of the anime for me. The entire mountain getting vaporized just from the air pressure of a punch he didn’t even finish is insane.
Consecutive Normal Punches against Boros is another favorite, he throws them so fast it all blurs into a single screen smear, and then the background itself ends up full of holes from the leftover air pressure. It's so good in the Anime, for me it just doesn't feel the same in the Manga.
Murata is incredible at capturing motion in still frames, but in the end, nothing really beats actual motion.
your favorite feats of Saitama’s power are when he punches something so hard he reshapes the planet . MY favorite feats of Saitama’s power are when he uses talk no jutsu to call someone a loser. we are simply not the same, i fear.
For me the best display of power started already when he still didn't fully become baldy, when he was suspicious that he lost some hair and kept turning around facing the mirror to see the back of his head until he finally was able to be faster than his whole reflection and and see the hair he lost, all evevn before gaining as much power as we know him. That was already a MFTL achievement.
If we see that he can literally sneeze the entire Jupiter's atmosphere, that means that his sneeze alone has at least 3,6×10³¹ joules of energy. Which means that his body has roughly 2,85×10⁵⁰ joules of energy, which is about the entire energy of our Solar System.
One of my favorites was when he showed up at kings house because he left the window open but his was on like the fiftieth floor or something that was finny
You can't not scale Saitama to his feats because his power is far beyond his feats his powers has not shown limits YET he is infinite strength is far beyond comprehension, Saitama just not broke his limiter he REMOVED HIS LIMITER.
definitely kicking the portal or showing up in the spirit realm with phoenix man and child emperor. both show that he is simply above the rules of fiction and i love it
Kicking a dimensional portal has to be it for me. That's not even "wow, he's super strong!" That's beyond godlike abilities. The rules of the universe do not apply to him.
Not exactly a power display, but when Saitama touched God's cube and nothing happened to him. It just goes to show God will be powerless against him in their inevitable clash
i really thought it was funny when he was just chillin with the orochi guy in lava, think a lot of characters cant do taht and it was a really casual and overlooked scene honestly

Ahem I think this wins the spirit award for saitama displays of power
