Saitama vs. Other Protagonists: A Tier List Debate
In the latest episode of the Ei Nerd video series, host Fred Tisan leads a lively discussion where a tier list is created to evaluate various protagonists and their ability to withstand a one-on-one fight against Saitama from "One Punch Man." The conversation is packed with banter, theories, and hypotheses as the group dives deep into the strengths, weaknesses, and unique abilities of each character.
The argument begins with a foundational question: can any character endure Saitama's incredible physical attacks? The participants point out that Saitama's punches are physical and rely on direct contact, presenting an interesting challenge for characters with unique abilities that may circumvent this. For example, the notion of “limiters” comes up, with Saitama described as existing without any, which raises the question of how characters like Gojo from "Jujutsu Kaisen" would fare against him.
Fred introduces Gojo as a contender, discussing his Infinity technique, which theoretically should slow down Saitama's attacks. However, the group quickly dismisses this notion by theorizing that Saitama's speed exceeds Gojo’s ability to limit or control him. They argue that Saitama can surpass even the concept of limit when it comes to speed and power.
The debate does not just revolve around physical strength; they consider how Gojo's expansion of domain could theoretically affect Saitama. Still, they conclude that Saitama's lack of inherent limits means he wouldn’t be affected by such techniques.
As the discussion progresses, the focus shifts to Luffy from "One Piece." The group touches on Luffy's new Gear F transformation, which has been confirmed to possess a “Portal of Creativity.” The implications of this ability lead to discussions about the flexibility and adaptability of Luffy, but ultimately the group leans towards siding with Saitama, considering the raw power and speed Saitama can deliver in a direct confrontation.
Luffy's ambition is contrasted with Saitama's. While Luffy desires to be the King of Pirates, Saitama’s character-driven goal is simply to find a challenging fight. This “no limits” mindset embodied by Saitama raises further questions about whether a mere physical clash could ever truly determine the victor between these characters.
The group highlights Saitama's adaptability within battles, suggesting that he could potentially overcome Luffy's unusual abilities if they were to face off against each other, although they agree it would be an entertaining match.
The discussion expands as they bring in other notable protagonists. For instance, they debate the likes of Goku from "Dragon Ball," pondering Saitama's chance of winning a fight against him. Many agree that while Goku is immensely powerful, Saitama’s “one-punch” capability makes him a potentially superior fighter.
Similar analyses are conducted for various characters like Naruto, Gon, and even Asta from "Black Clover", with the group consistently defending Saitama's position at the top of the tier list due to his overwhelming physical capabilities.
A significant turn in the discussion occurs when they analyze how characters like Kira from "Death Note" might defeat Saitama. Here, Kira’s strategic approach using the Death Note is seen as a valid point of concern. The group acknowledges that while Saitama physically outmatches many, intellectual adversaries like Kira could exploit his straightforward nature to secure victory.
Similarly, the conversation turns to Rimuru Tempest from "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime." This character's evolving powers become a point of contention, sparking debates around creation versus destruction abilities and whether Saitama's brute strength could outpace such complex capabilities.
The episode concludes with a lively summary of their findings—Saitama is frequently positioned as an unbeatable character due to his unique strengths, but intellectual fighters prove to be more challenging foes. The panel encourages viewers to engage in discussions about which characters could potentially overcome Saitama, highlighting the importance of not just raw power but strategic thinking in battles.
As the debates continue, the moderators highlight that while Saitama is often viewed as the pinnacle of power in anime, the nuances of each character’s abilities and traits add depth to the discussion. Viewers are urged to engage with the video, share their opinions, and contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding who could withstand the almighty punch of Saitama.
This dialogue captures not only the excitement of hypothetical battles in the anime universe but also the inherent passion for storytelling and character development that resonates with fans everywhere.
