Saitama vs Superman (Explained)

Superman has been one of the oldest heroes with such incredible strength and other abilities like the super vision, freeze breath, laser, super speed and flight ! (😂 that's not all he can do though)There are over thousands of heroes out there even heroes that have similar powers as the man of steel, but still this guy (superman) still stands out amongst those heroes, what makes him so special then? That's not my concern 😜.

Lately Superman has been compared with several strong characters from marvel universe and even Anime universe too, this made man of steel very popular and powerful, because no one can compare him to other characters if he is not strong or powerful. But this time we will be looking at something new.

I'm here to lay some theories regarding Saitama beating superman... (OK I think I just said it in a way I'm not supposed to 😕) we'll be looking at the advantages both characters have over one another.

Let's start with Superman;

SUPERMAN CAN BREATH IN SPACE.

This is where superman has the upper hand here against saitama, being that he can breath in space while Saitama can't, so imagine if they both meet and fight, superman will easily fly him to space and he might DIE... (Saitama will definitely come back to earth as he can't hold his breath any much longer in space).

SUPERMAN HAS THE ABILITY TO FLY.

This one is a little bit lame when compared to a character who can perform a massive jump over long distance, but still can't levitate so superman can take advantage of that...

SUPERMAN HAS THE X-RAY VISION/SUPER VISION.

This can help him easily to anticipate and study his enemy's weak point. (now I think I made it sound like that of BYAKUGAN and SHARINGAN in Naruto series 😂)

Now to Saitama;

FIRST OF, SAITAMA MADE IT IN THE TOP TEN LIST THAT CAN POSSIBLY BEAT SUPERMAN.

SAITAMA CAN SURVIVE A BLACK HOLE

Saitama was put under enormous gravitational force by Boros’s lieutenant which he claimed was as strong as the center of a black hole (I personally believe he was lying). Since we are taking word by word there is a feat.

SAITAMA CAN TRAVEL FASTER THAN LIGHT

 In the web comic light speed flash attacks saitama with two light speed cuts saitama  casually dodges it as usual. Here is your light peed feat.(Light speed flashes name was changed to flashy flashy in the anime and i belive “light speed” is just a fancy name. Also when he was fighting Gauro he didnt move at “light speed” but by comic book logic its a feat)

SAITAMA DOESN'T NEED THE YELLOW SUN.

Unlike superman, Saitama doesn't need yellow sun to boost his strength, and mind you there other planets that all kriptonians (including Superman) loose there powers, planets with red sun and some with no sun at all, in that state they become ordinary being so this is where saitama can destroy him in one punch.

SAITAMA HAS BROKEN HIS LIMITER

This is a theory proposed by Dr. Genes, the dude who had that league of evolutionary humans or something. He said that saitama broke his limiter through sheer willpower. Limiter is something that Gods places on every living creature so that they dont endanger the creation.

Also there was the word going on that Saitama could destroy half the universe with a punch. It seems that was stated by ONE himself. I have found no evidence to this statement anywhere online.

The above feats puts him at the level of superman without the ”infinite book” or lifting “the weight of sentry which is equal to eternity”. But if we are taking all that into account Superman still has to deal with the equally stupid no limits fallacy which was stated by genes.

Also if the infinite weight theory is taken into account Shazam and Wonder Woman should also be able to lift infinite weight. Shazam fights Black Adam so he should be able to tank infinite damage. Wonder Woman fights Ares so he should be able to take infinite damage. The whole Dc universe becomes illogical.

MORE...

Though, to be fair he was an honorable mention. The reason being because comparing Superman and One Punch Man is like comparing apples to salmon.

Saitama is a parody of superheroes who’s whole premise is that he can’t be defeated. That’s kind of hard to beat.

Since One Punch Man is such a young comic/manga it’s hard to tell just how powerful he is, but more than likely, following with the theme of his story, his punch has no limits. For all we know, as the article above says, he could punch right off the page and “knock out the authors of Superman before they have a chance to draw him.”

For fun, let’s take a look at a hypothetical of how this fight might go (in a three way with Goku).

But we shouldn’t dismiss Superman. After all, he’s also pretty hard to beat. And he’s super. Even if you manage to keep him down (or even kill him), he will always fly up triumphant in the end. If he doesn’t the entire DC Universe would most likely implode on itself.

Overall, both are pretty much written as being unbeatable.

Looking at this fight from the current moment of time, Superman has the upper hand. Saitama hasn’t contended against someone on the Man of Steel’s level. Most likely in their first meeting Saitama would underestimate how much strength it would take to defeat Superman (as he did with Boros where he had to use two punches to win) and throw a punch that barely tickles Superman’s chest. By the time Saitama could muster the potential to throw a strong enough second punch Supes would have flown circles around him, had time to call Lois, read a few hundred books and then nonchalantly picked Saitama up and thrown him into the sun.

Of course that assumes Superman wants to defeat Saitama. I mean look at that guy's face(saitama).

Most likely Superman would instantly see the goodness in Saitama and Saitama would be awed by Superman. They would go out for some beer/sake. Superman would mentor Saitama on the how to be super and what it’s like to have really great hair. Saitama would teach Superman how to defy the laws of comic physics and what’s it like to never lose. Then they’d team up and go on adventures solving crimes together as two super best friends 😁
