Despite being a largely comedic character, Saitama from One Punch Man is renowned for his limitless strength and invincibility. As a professional hero who fights for enjoyment, he has never been defeated in any battle, regardless of his opponent’s strength. In fact, Saitama is often compared to the supreme being in the series, as his power knows no limits.
Despite this, there have been multiple anime characters in recent years who have displayed powers and accomplishments that far surpass those of Saitama.
At the opposite extreme, there are certain characters who would have absolutely no chance of defeating the protagonist of One Punch Man in a fight.
5 anime characters who would get obliterated by One Punch Man’s Saitama
Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Since his arrival in the anime world, Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen has consistently been a topic of conversation when it comes to the most formidable anime characters in existence, and for good reason. Thanks to his unmatched prowess and expertise in jujutsu sorcery, Gojo has earned the title of the most powerful sorcerer of the current generation.
Despite having immeasurable amounts of cursed energy and possessing some of the most dangerous abilities known to mankind, Gojo is also highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat. This makes it nearly impossible for anyone to match his skill, with the only exceptions being Toji Fushiguro and the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.
In contrast to Gojo, Saitama from One Punch Man possesses an immeasurable amount of power. Throughout the series, Saitama has consistently demonstrated abilities that can rival even the strongest being in his universe, the God. As a result, it is highly improbable that Gojo could inflict any harm on Saitama in a direct confrontation. Inevitably, Saitama would emerge victorious if the two were to ever engage in a battle.
All Might: Symbol of Peace (My Hero Academia)
In the popular series My Hero Academia, All Might was revered as the most formidable and esteemed hero in the world. Throughout his extensive time as a professional hero, spanning several decades, All Might vanquished numerous adversaries, solidifying his position as the strongest hero ever known. Notably, he even triumphed over the main antagonist of the story, All For One, single-handedly on two separate occasions.
Despite All Might’s immense power, he is not invincible and can be defeated depending on the state of his Quirk. Even at his peak, All Might would have no chance against Saitama, an indestructible anomaly whose strength knows no limits. As the fight continues, All Might’s chances of survival would decrease.
Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)
Once Naruto Uzumaki became the Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, he was known as “The Strongest Shinobi in the World”- a title he continuously proved himself worthy of. His most powerful form, the Baryon Mode, even allowed him to briefly overpower Isshiki Otsutsuki, widely considered to be the strongest character in the series.
Despite Naruto’s superiority in hand-to-hand combat and ninja weapons compared to Saitama, it is doubtful that any of his abilities would give him an advantage in a direct confrontation with the latter.
Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan)
Levi Ackerman earned the moniker of “Humanity’s Strongest Soldier”in Attack on Titan for his unparalleled strength, speed, agility, and combat prowess. It is widely accepted that, at his peak, Levi possesses the ability to defeat nearly every character in the series.
Despite his prowess in taking down Titans, Levi remains human and is no match for someone like Saitama. In a hypothetical fight between the two, Levi’s limitations would be evident, and he would likely fare no better than Speed-o’-Sound Sonic or Genos.
Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul)
As Tokyo Ghoul neared its conclusion, Ken Kaneki emerged as the most formidable character of the entire series after defeating Kichimura Washuu, also known as Nimura Furuta. Throughout the series, Kaneki faced off against numerous formidable adversaries and emerged victorious every time, thanks to his superhuman strength, speed, endurance, ability to withstand pain, and regenerative powers.
Despite possessing a variety of skills, Kaneki would be helpless in a battle against Saitama, as he has no means of defeating him. His only chance of survival would be his healing factor, which could only prolong his life until he is ultimately defeated or killed by Saitama.
5 Anime Characters Who Could Defeat Saitama
Giovanna Day (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure)
If Saitama were to face Giorno Giovanna in a fight using his Golden Experience Stand, it would not be a fair match for the protagonist of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. However, the result would be completely different if Saitama were to go up against Giorno’s Golden Experience Requiem (GER).
One of the most overpowered abilities in anime belongs to Golden Experience Requiem (GER), which has the power to reset any action to zero, rendering all attacks useless. In a fight against Giorno, Saitama’s limitless strength would be rendered useless as GER continuously undoes any attempt he makes to harm Giorno. Even worse, GER could potentially trap the One Punch Man protagonist in an endless cycle of death with no escape.
Yogiri Takatou: My Overpowered Instant Death Ability
A battle between Saitama and Yogiri Takatou would not simply be a test of physical strength, speed, or combat skills, as the latter lacks any notable physical abilities that could pose a challenge to the former. In fact, a confrontation between the two would be considered impossible, as Yogiri possesses the most lethal cheat ability ever known – Instant Death.
Yogiri’s Instant Death ability is not limited to killing people indiscriminately. Instead, it grants him the power to permanently erase any person, entity, or concept from existence. This is because Yogiri is the manifestation of an ancient, eldritch being that has existed since the dawn of time. He embodies the ultimate limit, the final end, and the ultimate destination of all multiverses and worlds.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Initially, Haruhi Suzumiya may appear to be an average high school student without any exceptional talents. However, this could not be further from reality, as Haruhi possesses god-like abilities that allow her to manipulate reality.
Despite her lack of awareness, Haruhi possesses the ability to manipulate reality at will. Her powers go beyond rationality, logic, and physical limitations, giving her the ability to mold the world according to her desires. This makes it clear that Saitama’s extraordinary physical strength would be rendered useless against Haruhi’s reality-altering abilities.
Anos Voldigoad from The Misfit of Demon King Academy
As a result, Saitama would have a significant disadvantage in a fight against Anos, considering the latter’s exceptional endurance and ability to withstand death. Anos’ immense magical abilities would render any physical attack useless, leaving Saitama completely defenseless against his opponent.
Anti-Spiral from Gurren Lagann
Despite Saitama’s immense strength, the main antagonist in the Gurren Lagann anime, the Anti-Spiral, would still be an overwhelming opponent. This is due to the fact that the Anti-Spiral is considered a God, possessing a 10.5-dimensional existence and posing a complex, multiversal threat.
Despite being compared to Saitama, Anti-Spiral’s stats far surpass his. His destructive power, speed, strength, intelligence, stamina, durability, and other abilities are all at a level beyond high multiversal to infinity. This makes the idea of a fight between the two characters completely nonsensical.
To Conclude
Despite being a character with unlimited strength, Saitama’s limits are tested by certain beings who remain out of his reach, as demonstrated by the list above.
- 8 anime characters like Garou from One Punch Man
- 10 strongest female characters in One Punch Man, ranked
- 10 One Punch Man side characters, ranked from strongest to weakest
