The One True Oden

Uh, What?

Gouken is Ryu and Ken's teacher, you got your wires crossed bro

Gouken was Akuma's sparring partner, and Akuma murdered his own teacher, followed by knocking Gouken the gently caress out till literally years passed by.

That's what he said, Ken and Ryu's master, not Akuma's.

Funnily enough, Goutetsu, Akuma and Gouken's master, was totally fine with being killed in a fight and was proud of Akuma for doing so.

He found Jesus later, during the Zero/Alpha series

You mixed up the timeline.

Alpha happens before SF2 but after SF1. Sagat stops being evil after Sf2.

The timelines of the games are weird, but it goes like this

SF1, Alpha series, SF2, Sf4, Sf5, Sf3.

Gouken was Akuma's sparring partner, and Akuma murdered their teacher Gotetsu, then promptly wrecked Gouken's poo poo so hard it took years for him to shake off that coma.

Yes I know Gouken was Ryu and Kens Teacher. I was just saying Gouken was not Akuma's teacher.

I never said he was a challenge. He went down easily as anything else he fought.

Just saying he did better against Saitama then almost every other monster in this series. By virtue of causing some light scratching. Most monsters even the ones Saitama lets hit him don't even do that.

It was a nice touch that steam comes off when Sea King sucker-punches the back of his head. He punched him so hard it produced enough waste heat to boil water, but I don't think it scuffed him.

I guess it's possible that the scuff marks we see on him are actually soot from atmospheric particles and monster flesh burning on impact. I know, way too much science for this anime, but come on, his fist blueshifts in the anime opener.

I like how Saitama's strength is one-way only. People can punch him and be fine but if he makes any effort to cause damage to you then they explode like water balloons.

Normally, if you punch a strong person like a Superman or Colossus or Like Cage your bones snap in horrifying detail.

It makes sense, if he wasn't super durable his own punches would tear his body apart.
Come to think of it, that would be a crappy super power, being super strong, but not invulnerable to harm.

See post above. Now what would actually be a crappy super power is the inverse of that - completely invulnerable to harm, but as weak or weaker than an average human being.

That sounds pretty rad to me, I mean you can still use a gun or something and you'll never need to worry about getting hurt. At the very least you could grab a flamethrower or something to distract the Sea King with until a more powerful hero came to help.

Yall realize that toughness and strength are deeply interrelated attributes, right?

You can't be "completely invulnerable" but also weak, because one of the biggest limitations on a persons strength is the physical integrity of their body. A person who's weaker than average but also invulnerable would be able to run an hour marathon and fist fight an ox.

Sure but that doesn't mean a mob boss can't order 10 men to dog pile you, restrain you, encase you in cement and then toss you screaming into the nearest body of water.

theres a marvel comic books character whos a mutant and his mutant power is to be completely invulnerable to any kind of damage, but since mutant powers manifest at puberty and muscles build by tearing and regrowing stronger and he was a lazy slob hes forever locked in the body of a fat teen. also hes kind of dumb

spoilers from the first couple of chapters aka the premise

He is born without an ability but desperately wants to be a hero. The worlds greatest hero passes on his ability to the MC after the events of the first chapter which is bnasically insane physical power that constantly increases and can be passed on to a successor. Deku's body is too fragile to use it initially. At first he can only use 100% which does that to his limbs but grows to be able to modulate the power output to something he can handle

I mean, if you don't think having your arm broken and then having it snap crackle pop itself into place over twenty seconds vs just not being able to be damaged at all then I guess not.
