Saitama (サイタマ, Saitama) is the main protagonist of the series and the titular One-Punch Man and the most powerful being to exist in the series. Saitama faces a self-imposed existential crisis, as he is now too powerful to gain any thrill from battle.

Why He Rocks[]

  1. He may be ridiculously overpowered, such as killing enemies with just one punch, he gets bored, doesn't feel excitement.
    • He just wants to have a satisfying fight without instantly killing his opponent.
  2. He has even spawned in a lot of funny memes as well, one of the notable examples is the "Ok" meme.
  3. He's an interesting protagonist as he's so ridiculously overpowered that he can kill literally anything with a single punch and nothing can pose a threat to him, causing him to become bored and uninterested at life. Despite his bored cynical outlook, Saitama still manages to be a compelling relatable character in that his struggles come not from fighting huge monsters, but in his inability to obtain any appreciation for his incredible feats of power.
  4. Not only can he just defeat people with one punch but he can also dodge objects that are getting in his way.
  5. He's also known for giving up something he has, like when he loses his hair for superpowers.
  6. Some of his fighting scenes can also end up funny as well like when he fought Speed-o'-Sound Sonic.
  7. He also has interesting fights with his own teammates back when they're enemies (even if he's powerful) he can still be kind to people and willing to give them another chance.
  8. Even his character design has spawned a lot of memes, one example is his meme based on him and Caillou.
  9. He never gives up fighting and is willing to keep fighting crimes for the world.

Bad Qualities[]

  1. He can be sensitive at times like when he abused his power to murder another hero, though it was an accident.
  2. His counterpart in the game sucks like when he got buffed for no reason.
