discussion Saitama’s most underrated ability - Copy
From videogames to copying Garou’s “copycat martial arts” (Omni directional punch) to god level martial arts “time travel.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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)

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

u/Darklarik 3d ago
He literally learned Garou's ultimate time reversal martial art in the first try. Bro really is him

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

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.

u/Far_Entrepreneur3048 4d ago
And he would still find a way to lose to an auntie getting the best discounted meat

u/wolfire2475 4d ago
I really do think saitama has really fight IQ his just too powerful to really use it.

u/Dapper-Limit-8139 4d ago
It's not video games tho, he's a button masher who gets his ass handed by King.

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