I'm sorry, but the title of the thread clearly declares there to be ONE punch man.

i love how fubuki ascribes all these masterful plans to saitama and the real reason he's acting that way is completely mundane

e: the only thing that would make next chapter better than this one is if fubuki doesnt have her wallet either

I think it's more likely that the status she garners as a mid-profile hero may be enough for her to maneuver out of that situation. She could probably tell them to send the bill to the Hero Association and get away with it, assuming they don't just comp her.

Can he actually make his punch weaker, though? I was under the impression that sparring with Genos was basically impossible because Saitama would simply obliterate that robo-boy.


Are you serious? I mean, Saitama's only knocked out or knocked down, what, every single human he's ever struck?

He just punched off Hammerhead's armor, he just knocked Sneck's rear end out, Sonic was not only not killed but not even knocked out in their first encounter, and then only knocked out in the second, despite being hit so hard he left a face imprint in the road, the two tank-toppers, this makes #3 for Garou, all his opponents in the martial arts tourney, Eyelashes and Mountain Gorilla when Fubuki first went to intimidate him, etc etc etc.

Saitama absolutely can, and does, scale down his punches, or else every single one of these human beings would be dead now. He's been taking out Garou with one hit in every encounter they've had, just like he's done with every other human he's hit, but he doesn't kill non-monsters. If he'd wanted to kill Garou on any of their run-ins, he'd be dead now and this whole plot would have been cut short, but, you know, Garou's human, so he only gets the knock-out hits.

Boros is still the only non-human to take more than one hit from Saitama in a fight without it being an instant fight ender, lethal or otherwise.

You don't generally kill your sparring partners, which is what Saitama was showing Genos in that first sparring session when he kept demanding that Saitama 'fight as if this was a real battle to the death', with that punch being an object lesson of 'this is what a "to the death" punch would be like so maybe chill out' for him.

I dunno, I think there's value in the One Man Punch.

There's also Man, One Punch.

Punch One Man just seems naive.

Man Punch One is either incredibly vague or actively impossible depending on how you view the One.
And if you're thinking Man, Punch ONE then you are in the wrong thread buddy :colbert:

No, it took me about five minutes to write.

Maybe you should take longer than that to read through OPM, then you wouldn't have massive misunderstandings of one of the core elements of Saitama's characterization like this.

No, his limb joints are just a little too small for the sockets and fall out easily from any vibration or movement.

It was 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and 10km of running every day.
