Nothing will kill this show faster to me than trying give some bullshit excuse for why he is OP. The reason we've been given is already perfect.
Yep this.

What makes Saitama a gag character, though? His powers are fairly defined and limited; he's just unusually strong/fast/resilient to the point of invincibility. It isn't like he pulls ACME gear out of a hat to defeat his opponents for comedic effect. I can take his power set more seriously than that of Franklin Richard's, at any rate.Saitama is a gag character and so could only be defeated by other gag characters.
Damn. I didn't know he did Marvel covers. Those Secret Wars Spideys are great.

I want to frame that doc oc oneMurata's MvC poster is excellent too:
And here are his Spider-Man pieces, because why not:
his powers aren't defined and limited at all , he got Popeye strength.
Word of god says his most powerful punch is akin to the big bang. And if you read the webcomiche does make use of new techniques since his raw approach wasn't as effective vs garou. Table flip.
FotNS isn't really considered in the upper echelon of power levels in manga despite how cool everything looks. I mean sure, Kenshiro punches super fast with super high precision, but so does someone like Seiya, who punches even faster with more power.I've been reading/watching Fist of the North Star & One Punch Man back-to-back, and I'm really curious to know who would win in a one on one fight: Kenshiro, or Saitama?
just re-readfight, man it's gonna look fucking amazinggarou
wait, is there enough manga material to actually last that long?In 3 years time.
Most people put spoiler bars over things, but a name without any context means nothing. Spoiler culture is getting out of hand.

This is the anime thread.
I'm gonna be really sad if the show doesn't get to adapt all of the manga. I want to see this and Shokugeki no Souma completed so bad.
There's 2 different versions of the manga (the original webcomic and Murata's), the webcomic is much further than Murata's, plus Murata's diverging from the webcomic and the anime is diverging from both of them.
Well the adaption isn't even finished so that's not happening. Although with all the filler/additional content ONE/Murata are throwing into the manga, I'm starting to think a S2 of the anime might be possible. I certainly hope so.I'm gonna be really sad if the show doesn't get to adapt all of the manga.

Really? A lot of the characters in that manga, even some of the minor ones, are freakishly strong (and huge). I thought the series would be up there with some of the heavy weights, especially in terms of freakishly powerful heroes/villains?

There are a lot of trustworthy music import sites. Here are 2 that I've used before:*EDIT* Beaten like Mumen Rider.
Yo does anyone know where I can buy the full OP from Jam Project?
I need it for reasons. YouTube link got taken down.
I haven't read or watched Fist of the North Star, but from what i've seen in character battle threads (I get bored), doesn't Kenshiro have an ability that basically lets him do anything
Hokuto Shinken just does whatever it wants. That only goes so far when a character in Jojo just has "i win lol"
Same with Medaka Box

I really never understood why people classify this series as a parody. What's being parodied? Are all superhero comedies automatically parodies?
The whole Shounen genre is being parodied. Right down to the baldness of the main character... pretty much every Shounen series ever made has the main character with some funky hair do. And in many cases the main character gets longer hair when they get stronger... Saitama just gets bald.I really never understood why people classify this series as a parody. What's being parodied?

Most other shounen series have a big origin story or coming of age story... OPM says nope to that and makes a lame as origin story for the main character. Hell even when they were telling us about Genos' back story that's a jab to the over exposition in other shounen series.
However the main point of parody is the relative strength of Saitama. Every Shounen series ever made strives on making the main character go through tough hurdles and even defeats to get to a high enough power level. OPM is like what would happen if Raditz landed on earth when Goku had attained Super Saiyan 3 already. In every other series the main character happens to be just barely strong enough to beat the villains... in OPM it's the complete opposite, he beats them in one punch from the get go.
Oh and training episodes. OPM makes fun of bull shit training power ups in Shounen series.

That made made me think of when Vegeta breaks one in a tournament.The punch detector, man, brings memories back.
wait, is there enough manga material to actually last that long?
So this is only going to be a 12 episode run?
Just watched all 5 episode of this and holy shit is it amazing. Never read the Manga
Illuminating post. Wasn't aware of all of these, but now they make sense.
you should read the manga because the level of the art is amazing!
Here's the manga version of Saitoma vs Genos sparring (a part of it)
