well tbf they are easy to just copy according to saitama. "Anyone can do that"

You also forgot to mention when he threw a rock against Geryuganshoop

Saitama using the same move that Garou previously used on him is tuff

Good God when I see this Im thinking JC Staff is already profusely sweating just imagining they gotta do this at some point.

u/Boom_bozZ539 4d ago

Praying they drop it before they decide to do a S4

u/Resident-Release4093 4d ago

They aint built for this

u/Icy_Hat_4150 4d ago

I hope Mappa, Bones or Trigger takes the role for the S4 or we are cooked

u/killerfgaming 3d ago

Trigger needs a lesbian couple that fuck each other to work and sadly opm is not all that

u/Reima_Kousei 2d ago

u/killerfgaming 2d ago

Oh shit I forgot yeah you're right, alright! Trigger have a new anime if the new studio failed

u/Altair13Sirio 4d ago

There's way too much stuff to cover to get here to thing they're going to do it in a single season.

u/MicahG17079 4d ago

They’re not sweating at all, they know they’re just gonna slide a png across a screen 😭

I really hope they don’t fuck this up, but sadly, I know they will

u/Gorstrom 4d ago

Let’s get a gofundme together to get the s1 animators back just for this fight

u/wayvywayvy 4d ago

I have zero faith in JC staff to make the adaptation anything resembling “decent.” We are going to get season 2 level slop again.

u/NecroCannon 4d ago

I’m so shocked this isn’t the show to just absolutely show off the studio with.

Like it has everything there, there just needs to be the passion. Reading the manga during the final parts of the monster arc felt like I was reading a Micheal Bay movie with good writing

u/Azrael4224 3d ago

final parts of the monster arc

good writing

hmm

u/NecroCannon 3d ago

Compared to The Last Knight it’s a masterpiece

u/AllThingsEvil 4d ago

Basically a revisit of this moment:

u/Vivid-Act2130 4d ago

Yea, saitama could probably become the best martial artist in the entire world, of he wanted to. He can basically learn anything

Except how to beat king

128

u/BolunZ6 4d ago

He can but he don't want to do. What's the point of doing some cool sick move and then one shot them with 1 punch anyway

u/got-pissed-and-raged 4d ago

Its also like what he said to Suiko. "If you want to continue enjoying martial arts, my advice is to not get any stronger than you already are." Paraphrased badly I'm sorry. But yeah why would Saitama want to learn how to be even better at fighting lol, its like the opposite of what he wants.

27

u/ShinyStarSam 4d ago

I don't get why he doesn't rip his own arms and legs off, that would do the trick I bet

17

u/jkurratt 4d ago

He is "unfairly" strong.
It wouldn't help.

9

u/TimelessPizza 4d ago

Then he's gonna start one sneezing his enemies, and then face the same problem all over again

9

u/travelingWords 4d ago

That’s like the mosquito? But also most video games have a limit. So saitama can’t just cheat past limits to overwhelm.

(But technically he should be frame perfect)

3

u/el_artista_fantasma Sonic's deranged wife 4d ago

He might be able to copy martial arts moves, but can he beat king on street fighter?

2

u/Darklarik 3d ago

He literally learned Garou's ultimate time reversal martial art in the first try. Bro really is him

78

u/TimaBilan 4d ago

Saitama was a bunny girl all along

22

u/Torrithh 4d ago

Sometimes it takes a real man to be the best girl or smt

111

u/Secure-Wolverine7502 4d ago

I think it’s pretty clear he could learn any technique in the verse but because all he ever needs is a punch, he just sees everything else as wasted movements. ONE really wrote saitama to be too strong in the best way possible

35

u/zezinho_tupiniquim 4d ago

"Is that leg movement possible?"

5

u/Kutabare2 4d ago

Yeah, but it's complicated though. so what you gotta do is lift your leg up,

u/vk2028 4d ago

I remember that comment and the whole posts people made about it😭

u/thebuckstartshere 4d ago

After seeing him interact with the blast wormholes,doing the electric head chop and traveling through time my headcanon is that his body could do anything. Telekinetic powers, flight, Zombieman regeneration are probably all things that he could possibly do but he has no need for it or is limited by his own mindset.

u/wolfire2475 4d ago

I would actually like to see him get serious and use his max intelligence and blow every way finding out his iq is also limitless his just lazy to use it.

2

u/Far_Entrepreneur3048 4d ago

And he would still find a way to lose to an auntie getting the best discounted meat

5

u/wolfire2475 4d ago

I really do think saitama has really fight IQ his just too powerful to really use it.

4

u/Dapper-Limit-8139 4d ago

It's not video games tho, he's a button masher who gets his ass handed by King.

2

u/Unfair-Connection-66 3d ago

Saitama doesn't copy technics.

He perfects them!

u/hellpunch Disappointment Punch 4d ago

I call that lazyness but sure, 'copy'

12

u/Voidlight0 4d ago

What about it is lazy? It is not like drawing it that way is suddenly less effort.

u/hellpunch Disappointment Punch 4d ago

Thinking of a new move

u/Other_Engineering849 4d ago
