One popular character that hit TV screens in Japan and the US in 2015 is named 'Saitama' aka 'Onepunch-Man'. Since then, Saitama's power has led to a host of 'vs' videos and posts across YouTube and social media.
The Character Saitama is an average nobody. He is an out-of-work and unsure of what to do with himself kind of guy. That is until after another hopeless day of job hunting, Saitama runs across a weird 'crabman' like the ones you see in those kooky 'Power Ranger' style kids shows. Kooky looking or not, the Crabman is killing people at random down a side street. His day has been so fruitless, even the Crabman can see the 'IDGAF' burning in Saitama's eyes and gives him a pass because it wouldn't be any fun killing him.
Later, Saitama sees a small boy with a chin like a man's 'jingly-bits' and not-too-bright at that. Taking a closer look at the child's chin, Saitama realizes he's the child who initiated Crabman's killing spree by drawing 'nipples' on his carapace in permanent marker. Seeing how Crabman's claws won't allow him to clean off the offensive drawings and him being too ugly for anyone to help clean them away, the villain is rightfully pissed!
Crabman finds them both on a playground and attempts to kill the boy who's basically too dimwitted to live ('He broke my soccerball...aw.') But after taking a beating trying to save the boy, Saitama manages to kill Crabman by yanking out one of his eyestalks and all organs inside along with it (ew.) Emboldened by his surprising victory, Saitama decides the 'way of the superhero' is the path for him and he becomes a 'Hero for fun'.
Unfortunately for Saitama, his quest to become a powerful superhero comes with a considerable caveat. He's too successful at reaching his goal. Waaaaay too successful! The result of him training everyday for three years without fail renders him 'unbeatable'. He has become so powerful, he defeats all opponents with 'One Punch'. Being so overpowered has made life meaningless for Saitama as there are no real challenges for him as a superhero.
However, outside of the popular Manga and Anime' series Saitama is matched up against every superhero anyone can think of in the 'S-Class' (Super) power ranking. Many are entertaining, but most are made by biased fan-boys(girls) who favor one character over another. They for the most part do excellent analysis of the characters before the fight and then completely ignore their findings when the fight begins so their favorite wins (Uhy!)
In particularly there is at least one YouTuber out there who gets the 'vs' right using the available evidence of the powersets established by Onepunch-man's most popular 'vs' foes, Goku (Dragon Ball Z) and the man who put the 'S' in 'S-Class', Superman. Both Goku and Superman have long well known histories and feats to their credit so going to go into them is a waste of time. Far as Saitama is concerned, the man has no known limits. No known limits on his strength, speed or durability!
Superman is well known for 'holding back' on his power so he won't kill. Saitama has blown most of his opponents to gory paste with barely any effort! We're talking creatures, robots and supervillains that would have Goku fighting a whole season in DBZ to beat and Superman at least two comics and some serious throwdowns to put down. So far, the only opponent Saitama has fought who could fight on his level was 'Lord Boros' a solar-system conquering bad guy.
Boros was powerful enough to actually destroy Saitama's planet (and tried to!) Yet, Boros only managed to hang in throughout a fight that lasted one punch in the final moments of one episode and four attacks by Saitama in the following. Boros was strong enough to kick Saitama to the moon (ya' hear that Alice?) in less than two seconds (it takes light 1.3 to get from earth to the moon!) The impact created a huge crater and yet, Saitama stood up (without flying off the moon which I thought should have happened) unaffected by the blow, the impact or that nasty bit about being on the sunlit side of the moon without a spacesuit. If that wasn't enough, in a standing leap Saitama shot back to earth in less time than it took him to get there!
I've never seen Superman or Goku do anything like that (yeah, Superman pulled the earth back into orbit with Green Lantern and Wonder Woman's help which I call BS on for soooo many reasons like 'Science'!) So long story short, seeing how powerful Saitama is Boros unleashes his 'planet killer attack'. By which, the 'Onepunch-man' repels it back upon him with one 'Serious, Serious Punch.' The blow is so powerful, the impact clears the weather halfway around the planet in an instant! Holy shit!
Afterward, Boros is nothing more than an ashen dismembered body consisting of a blind skull and ruined torso who in his last words recognizes his greatest and final opponent wasn't even trying....
