Hey guys, today I'm going to be discussing why I think that Saitama would lose to Goku in a one on one match. This is also a collaboration with Umo so make sure to check out his blog as well!

Wins & Loses

First let me say that I know Saitama has never lost a fight, but he has actually never faught Goku in a cannon battle either. So in my opinion, there really is no way to say for sure that Saitama would win. Also even though Goku may have 22 Loses and 21 Wins (from what I was told), many of those times he lost were circumstantial. What I mean is for example when he fought Majin Vegita and let his guard down, or Fat Buu and later we hear that he was holding back to give Goten and Trunks a try at beating Buu on there own. It's just how dragonball is, lots of times for humor reasons. Remeber the episode of Super where Goku pretended to get knocked flying by Mr. Satan and grabs the tractor as he flys away lol, exactly. Lastly, this is merely my opinion and yes.. You could definitely call it a bias one, I won't even try denying it. XD

Powers/Techniques & Strength!

As far as I understand it, the only Power that Saitama has (if you can call it a power) is his superhuman like physical strength he achieved through his extremely intense training. Now this is where I really feel Goku would have an edge. As dragonball fans we all know Goku had this type of superhuman strength even from the vary first time we see him introduced in Dragonball. Just the fact that he could take a bullet to the head and survive it tells us something. Now I'm not sure about OPM but DBS is still going and I'm almost certain that its been arround longer, meaning that Goku has had much more showtime for futher strength development and to even learn more techniques.

Which is also a main advantage for him. I was able to find that Saitama does have a few types of special abilities like the fact that he is immune to psychic attacks because of just how strong he is, but other then that I couldn't really find much else that he could do that Goku can't. One example I found of a technique the both share in common is that they can both use an after image type technique because of how fast. they are. So my point is that most of what I found for Saitama techniques is the same in that Goku is also capable of performing them.

So in my opinion Goku has an easy advantage here as he can do and has way more techniques that Saitama can't or does not have. Just to name off a few theres all of Goku's transformations, the Kamehameha or any ki attack for that matter since Saitama can't use ki. Which also means he can't raise his power at will. Again giving Goku a clear advantage the way I see it. Goku is also able to use his ki as a tool for flight, and as far as I could find out the most Saitama can do is jump really far/high, and we all know Goku could do that as a kid amiright lol. I can't really think of any other techniques Goku has that Saitama doesn't besides Solar flare and instant transmission, but if a can think of any more and can remember to I'll add them later.

Durability

As far as their durability goes, I dont really have much to say about it except whats stated above and that I truly bealive that Gokus body would be easily more durable then Saitamas. Although they are both incredibly strong and both seem to have incredible willpower for with standing pain, I really do think people exaggerate Saitamas strength in comparison to Dragonball but who really knows? Maybe Saitama fans say the same about Dragonball fans right lol. With two totally different shows there is really know way of comparing who would actually be more durable of a fighter in my opinion, or even stronger for that matter.

Evidence or Lack There Of/Reasons Goku Would Win/lose!

A good reason why I believe Goku would beat Saitama is that it's always been said by Goku's closest freinds and his best teachers that there is just something about him that makes you feel like he is incapable of losing. That no matter what he will always find a way to win and overcome his opponents, even those stronger then him.

The only thing I can really think that you could even come close to calling "Evidence" Goku might lose, which I don't even really think thats the right word for it. Is the fact that Saitama is basically a gag type charachter. Meaning that he was created basically to be OP and can beat anyone in one punch as a joke. Well to me that's just not enough, and since Goku isn't technically in the same show. I believe those same rules shouldn't be a factor if they were to fight in some kind of alternate reality or dimension of sorts lol.

I just think that Dragonball characters, esspesially Goku. Have/Has reached a level most characters in other shows probably never dreamed of reaching. Maybe I'm just not vary knowledgeable about other animes but I feel like I was around enough of it as a kid to make a good enough judgement call on it.

Saitama's Achievements

Saitama vs Goku: And the winner is…

Bam! Just one punch is all it’ll take for Saitama to beat Goku.

In the anime community, people often debate which character is the strongest. Most of the time, the two contenders who are up for debate are Saitama, the main protagonist from One Punch Man and Goku, the lead character from Dragon Ball.

Both characters are famously known for their absurd strength and feats. For example, Goku is known for being so strong he can grow and change the color of his hair. Saitama is known for training so hard he went bald. Although their feats are different, they have one similarity: defeating powerful opponents.

However, Saitama’s strength is often undermined by fans when compared to Goku. For instance, yes, Goku is a Saiyan, an alien warrior race, who has the ability to enhance his strength by transforming into a Super Saiyan. And Saitama… is just an ordinary human. But! Saitama’s strength is incomprehensible.

Saitama has trained to the point that he broke his strength limiter. This means as each day goes by he continues to get stronger without doing anything. He’s so strong that he became bored of fighting. So, he often defeats his opponents with one punch.

On the other hand, there’s Goku, a Saiyan that has to continuously train and fight strong opponents in order to ascend to a higher level. He’s so addicted to achieving the pinnacle of strength that he searches for stronger opponents to face.

The mere comparison of strength between the two characters is crazy. Goku is an extraterrestrial being who has to lose a fight in order to get stronger. Saitama is a man that can defeat any foe with a single punch.

If the two of them were to face off in a one-on-one battle, Saitama would easily win. The fight wouldn’t last a second let alone enough time for Goku to transform into a Super Saiyan. Simply put, I guess being bald is better than growing your hair.

The majority of the anime and manga community would agree that Saitama from One Punch Man is probably the strongest character. While there are some who could reach his level, he still manages to raise the bar by unleashing even more power. However, what would happen if Saitama were faced by another powerful character from a different universe? The best name that comes to mind is the Incredible Hulk from the Marvel Universe.

Well, it would be a little bit difficult to find out who is more powerful based on their developments in their individual story, but a widely popular video from six years ago by Zimaut Animation on YouTube has given the answer to this mystery. The video shows Saitama clashing with Hulk and taking him down after a brutal clash between the two insanely powerful characters.

Not Even the Incredible Hulk Could Withstand the Power of the Caped Baldy

Zimaut Animation’s video from six years ago is titled “HULK Vs. SAITAMA Animation (Full Version) -Taming The Beast,” and it features Bruce Banner entering the Z City from One Punch Man. As he enters the city, he witnesses Saitama fighting a werewolf, and he tries to save him, which in turn transforms him into the Incredible Hulk. He then goes out of control and not only defeats the werewolf, but also engages in a duel with the Caped Baldy.

Their battle features some of the most amazing fight scenes as both characters try to defeat their opponent. It might have been the first time that anime fans have seen Saitama struggle against his opponent. Still, after a gruesome scuffle, the One Punch Man protagonist managed to take Hulk down and was thus crowned the ultimate winner of the battle between the two.

The video is quite old, and the animation might not be as great as traditional anime series or movies, but it still manages to attract attention. It became so popular that the video has over 144 million views, 2.2 million likes, and over 190 thousand comments. This proves that even though the two characters belong to different universes, fans would love to see them clash against each other.

Saitama vs Hulk: Strength Comparison

When it comes to raw physical power and unbound strength, both Saitama from One Punch Man and the Incredible Hulk from the Marvel Universe stand at the top of the list for the strongest characters in fiction. Saitama’s strength is portrayed as limitless, as none of his opponents have ever been able to defeat him. He can obliterate monsters and meteors with just a single punch, effortlessly destroying threats that have the potential to wipe out cities or even planets.

Hulk, on the other hand, derives his immense strength and destructive capabilities from his anger. The angrier he becomes, the stronger and bigger he gets, thus making anger his main power source. His strength has even reached levels capable of affecting tectonic plates and damaging dimensional barriers. There are versions of him within the Marvel universe, like “Worldbreaker Hulk” and “Immortal Hulk,” that have shown the potential to rival Saitama.

When both characters are compared, Saitama’s power remains consistent and absolute, while Hulk’s strength grows boundlessly with his rage. Both of them have different aspects that not only complement their strength but also define their unique identities as heroes. Thus, even though the video shows Saitama defeating Hulk, in reality, it would be pretty difficult to understand who is stronger between the two. Who do you think would win between the two characters? Let us know below!

One Punch Man Preview (No Spoilers)

Saitama is an average guy, with an unusual hobby: being a hero. This hobby, however, is a bit unfulfilling for him, as he is so strong that he has yet to meet an opponent that he can't defeat with one punch.

With the hopes of earning some recognition for his deeds, climbing the ranks of heroes, and meet a worthy opponent, Saitama joins the Hero Association and becomes an official hero along with his new disciple, the cyborg Genos. Will Saitama ever find an opponent that can provide him with a thrilling fight and the passion he once felt for being a hero?

Saitama Bio

Seiyuu Name: Makoto Furakawa

Not much is known about Saitama's history. As a kid, Saitama dreamed of becoming a hero that could defeat his enemies in one hit. Instead, Saitama found himself working as a typical salaryman. One day, however, Saitama found himself fighting and defeating the kaiju Crablante. After this fight, Saitama was inspired to dedicate himself to training and becoming the hero that he'd always dream of being.

After achieving his dream and becoming strong enough to defeat enemies in one hit, Saitama lost the ability to find enjoyment or thrill from anything he does. Saitama's strength is only more exemplified by his unimposing stature. Saitama has no distinctly unique features and wears an unassuming yellow jumpsuit with red gloves and boots and white cape.

The hero stuff: it's only his hobby.

Saitama Highlights

1. He's Very Caring

One of the basic requirements of a hero is that they care about the well-being of others and is willing to put their body and life on the line to save others. Even though he has yet to meet anyone strong enough to put his life in danger Saitama rushes into battle without even considering any possible consequences that may befall him. In fact, Saitama's life as a hero began when he made the decision to save a kid's life from a Kaiju, despite the fact that it would almost definitely cost him his life.

In addition to risking his life for unknown citizens, Saitama has proven himself to be a great master to Genos. After taking Genos under his wing, Saitama has shown to care for him very much, often defeating opponents for turning him into a work of modern art.

3. He Gets S*** Done

When dealing with threats that endanger cities and even humanity itself, it's important to move with haste. When the situation calls for it, Saitama gets straight to work.

In the episode "The Ultimate Disciple," when an assortment of S-Rank heroes are unable to stop a meteor on its way to hitting City Z, all hope seems to be lost. Semi-fortunately for the citizens of City Z, Saitama knows that there's no time to mess around when lives are at stake. Seconds after appearing on the scene, he smashes the meteor (with one punch, of course).

Likewise, when the "Earth is doomed" prophecy seems to be coming true with arrival of Lord Boros and his spaceship, Saitama finds himself getting straight to business. Before anyone at the Hero Association HQ truly realizes that the threat is at their door, Saitama tunnels his way out of the building and makes his way to the ship. And while everyone –literally EVERYONE- is outside fighting Melzalgald and attempting to make their way to the ship, Saitama is making his towards Lord Boros, destroying the ship and taking care of Groribas and Geryuganshoop on his way.

In addition to his down-to-business attitude in fights, after defeating Crablante, Saitama decided to become a hero and didn't give up, no matter how hard things got.

5. He is Laid Back and an All Around Chill Guy

While heroes that take themselves and their jobs seriously are nice, it's also nice to have a hero that's able to enjoy the downtime. In battle and life. Saitama has found that right balance of being laid back and serious. When you're so strong that no one poses a threat to you it's easy to make your way through life with a carefree attitude.

When he's not out protecting City Z, Saitama is usually found lounging at home and idly passing his time. In fact, he lives out his life like any other regular person. Saitama usually doesn't exert himself unless there's a real threat. His carefree attitude nearly lost him his standing with Hero Association, as with no big threat he nearly went a week without meeting his quota of one good deed a week. In fact, this is the only time we see a stressed Saitama: as he rushes around the city looking for a good deed to perform.

Saitama even lets his carefree attitude carry over into his fights. Only getting truly serious when the time calls for it. During his fight with The House of Evolution's attack force, Saitama takes a moment of repose to enjoy the cool feeling of being in the ground, after being pulled underground by Ground Dragon.

Of course, as mentioned before, despite his overall laid-back and nonchalant attitude, Saitama knows how to get serious when the situation calls for it. Even if that situation his only as minor as missing a sale.
