Who would win in a fight, if Saitama fought Popeye who had access to more than one can of spinach?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p_SABG3SPk
Video shows that Popeye would be eager to start shit with a Jap. Given both of their absurd invulnerability and immense power who would win?
>>
>>81546132
Why the fuck are we still having these threads? Saitama wins. SAITAMA ALWAYS FUCKING WINS. He can kill ANYTHING IN ONE FUCKING PUNCH. He is so comicly overpowered that it is joke his show revolves around ONE PUNCH MAN. People will try to over think this shit so much, bring mind control shit into it and all that bullshit, but the fact is, if he gets ONE punch on whoever, whoever he decides to fuck up dies I don't even watch or read his shit, I just know enough about him that he kills ANYTHING, any FUCKING thing he can punch. This thread is pointless, so just fucking STOP. SAITAMA WINS IN ONE PUNCH.

Saitama. Popeye only has raw strength and healing spinach.

Saitama gives zero fucks about these things, his whole point is absurd overpowered strength.

Saitama's not even that hard to beat since he has several key weaknesses. He needs to breath. He can't fly. He's not immune to telekinesis, just highly resistant. He has no known immunity to mind control. Etc. Hell, he would have lost one of his major fights except he hit the moon instead of going into deep space.

Saitama is easy to beat, as long as you aren't trying to use raw strength against him. Fight smarter, not harder.

Fact is, saitama is fast as crap and if he touches you, you're dead. No second try. Even if you're god in a physical body your face is gonna twist and distort in a very funny manner that'll only mark your fall. At this point it's not even a fanboy fight on who would win. The plot of one punch man barely revolves around actual fights and challenges at this point. Seriously. It's the animu strongest of all the animu strongest characters, and that's a lot.

>>81546132
Saitama kills Popeye with the first punch, Popeye for the first time eats two can's of spinach. Their fists collide, the universe caught between them dies.

Popeye grabs a bucket of paint containing stars and throws one to Saitama, yelling at him to "gets to work" as the two gods remake everything.
>>
>>81547052
Popeye isn't using strength. He's reality warping with his fists.

I believe Popeye is an elder god dreaming it is a man. Why do you think one eye is always closed? This "man" learned "Spinach makes you strong" so it does, but it was never bound by this reality so it's definition of strong ignores physics.
>>
>>81548933

It depends entirely on what animation his biceps get after he eats the spinach. I mean, is he rocking battleships, anvils, or howitzers?

You and that other guy are fucking retards.

Saitama is just a really strong guy in a world of weaker characters. His "serious punch" is a planetary level force at best. Even if he wasn't going all out with that punch, he at least put effort into it suggesting his actual limit isn't that much greater.

He doesn't even come close to what Popeye can achieve, which is pretty much blatant toonforce reality warping given the nature of his show.

If Popeye instigates the fight, he will lose. If Saitama does instead, Popeye will win. Simple as that.

>>81551505
The only correct anon in this thread. ToonForce works against instigators as noted in almost every cartoon ever. So if Popeye starts it for whatever reason he gets one punched into oblivion. But if saitama starts it for whatever reason, which I don't think he ever started a fight in his anime, he loses.

In Saitama-verse, psychic powers involve psychic waves, they're something you can block/alter to mess psychic attacks up.

I'm guessing that Saitama is gonna be like Superman in regards to magic, no special resistance.

Regardless, there's nothing to prove one way or another whether or not Saitama would be affect by magic.

Both Popeye and Saitama are joke characters. Popeye character isn't that he can defeat anybody while Saitama character is. This just seems like a stupid battle. Given they were in a fight and not in some kind of contest, Saitama would win but if it were a contest, the winner is likely Popeye as that's what the funniest course of action would be.

>>81553567
I'm not even certain magic, or rather your brand of magic is even a thing in One-Punch's universe.

If anything implies the existence of your kind of magic, it's prophesies, and its pretty well established in the story that Saitama is basically beyond the scope of prophecies to the point where they cannot register his existence and he ends up breaking them.

Again, you're right, it's not confirmed either way.
But the only reason Superman is vulnerable to magic, is because they wanted to tell stories with tension.
The entire point of One-Punch Man is that there is no tension. If there was, he would cease being Saitama, because the entire point of his life, is to find someone who can challenge him, which has not really happened. It would basically be the ending of the series if someone showed up and gave stimulation to his existence, like he did to Boros.
>>
>>81551217

> being this retarded

Saitama power is not a fucking punch you inbred idiot. Saitama power is that he doesn't have limits, ergo he is invincible.

Saitama cannot lose. The maximum close you could get is using a character whose perk is 'he cannot lose' to ensure a stalemate.

Bugs Bunny and Droopy already lose before. Squirrel Girl could bring a stalemate... but she already died in a comic which shows she isn't invincible. I guess that depends if that comic was 'canon'. If not... then yes, if she never lose in any of her comics she could bring a stalemate.

>>81553230
The sad thing is that the limiters only apply to fights. Outside of being able to one shot anyone if he's serious about it, Saitama's other areas are really lacking. His 'disciple' is the one that covered his rent before they moved into City A(?), he has a terrible sense of direction and timing, and he sort of half-asses everything else in life.

He can't even defeat King in a kusoge fighter.

Yeah - Saitama's a pretty tragic character. I'd consider Popeye to be the winner by default, because he can feel genuinely happy and fulfilled in and by his work.

If we're operating by cartoon logic then Saitama is a being wholly uneffected by such an attack as his strength trumps reality to begin with. I'm not making this up, he literally kills God because he is that omnipotent. Popeye is finished.

Going by the canon, Saitama's power is basically limitless. He can be about as strong as a trillion Popeyes if he wants to.

If spinached Popeye has any conceivable limit, Saitama wins without a doubt. If not, then it's a stalemate between the two.

Breaking out of the cartoon and beating up the cartoonist>beating a god in your own universe.

Popeye can, based on his own series, go outside the cartoon and beat up the writer/artist/animator, so by that logic, he'd just go outside the comic and have One write that he wins.

Both characters are so overpowered and toonforce-heavy that you can't really say "Saitama wins because his deal is that he doesn't lose" when Popeye with Spinach is the exact same(only with way more impressive feats).

At that point, you go by the feats, and Popeye decimates Saitama on that particular front.

>Popeye can, based on his own series, go outside the cartoon and beat up the writer/artist/animator, so by that logic, he'd just go outside the comic and have One write that he wins.
I'm sure if OPM was a gag manga with little to no continuity, Saitama could do the same (but he doesn't need to, that's the point).

>Both characters are so overpowered and toonforce-heavy that you can't really say "Saitama wins because his deal is that he doesn't lose" when Popeye with Spinach is the exact same(only with way more impressive feats).
It's not the same though. Popeye's gimmick was that whatever he did was ineffective before eating the spinach whereas Saitama is either wholly uninvested in fighting or intentionally fighting at his opponents level to humor them. Popeye needs a powerup as opposed to Saitama being as strong as he needs,

An actual fight between the two adhering to both their established rules at the same time would go like this: Popeye starts a fight with Saitama and gets obliterated in one punch. He eats a can of spinach and then gets back into the fight and gives Saitama a good fight until Saitama decides to get serious and destroys him again in one punch. Repeat for every can of spinach Popeye has.

>At that point, you go by the feats, and Popeye decimates Saitama on that particular front.
And again, if OPM was a gag manga with no continuity in the same vein as Popeye, then there's nothing stopping him from performing the feats described. Every such feat in OPM is to show how Saitama is not a hero. Pic related, he stops a meteor at the last second and is utterly unphased to the collateral damage it caused. Saitama split the sky from Baros's planet splitting wave but there was no reason he couldn't have used it at the start of his fight.

TL';DR The feats are incomparable because Popeye is a cartoon that doesn't show the ramifications of dragging the moon closer whereas OPM is.

As stated multiple times in this thread, his potential is limitless. He is strong enough that one punch is all he needs, he even has a distaste for martial arts because he knows he doesn't need it.

>He only wins in one punch due to not having a strong enough enemy
He can't help that most of the monsters he comes across are unable to take his weakest punch except for two cases. Baros and Garou were capable of trading blows (obviously ineffective on their part) until he got serious and then ended with one punch anyway.

His superpower isn't winning in one punch, it's that he's so incomprehensibly strong that's all he needs. And it's not portrayed as a good thing either, Saitama feels no excitement in his life at all because every fight is an anticlimax.
>>
>>81572346
No, the manga goes out of it's way to show why Saitama is a true hero. He does what he thinks is right and no other opinions matter. If anything, he's a more modern superman done correctly. One not affected by question of if he should do the right thing, but one affected by the apathy that comes with such a burden of power

I know all of that. But simply saying that people within his canon dont match to his power, so everyone else in every other canon will die in one punch as well is not really good logic.

The idea that everyone he's beat so far is too weak for him doesnt mean "he wins because his power is winning"

It's not like Squirrel Girl where it's literally her power, his winning is just a side effect of his strength.

Something happened out on the open sea. Men died. A thing died. Something in the shape of a man came back, wanting only to forget. But they won't let him just be a man, live a peaceful life. Men and things keep coming for him. Striking at him through anything he tries to build, through a woman who somehow loves him, and literally, in the face. But they can't keep coming forever. Every time it happens, everyone forgets what happened afterwards, and it will never happen that way again. He just has to keep trying to find the life he wants. He has to keep a hold on his determination. Take from the universe what he earned by living this long.

OPM also parodies the cliche of "Now that i've revealed my trump card, the tide of the fight has changed." This was his reaction to Boros going Super Saiyan. >>81572912 Shows him completely unaffected by his attacks.

The fight would still go in Saitama's favor because the nature of his series is that whenever someone reveals a higher power, Saitama simply holds less back and still demolishes them. In this case, Popeye would get strong enough to to exceed Saitama's current strength and toss him around for a while until Saitama gets bored and then beats him again. This would happen every time and since Saitama has no limits, it's more of a question of how much spinach Popeye has.
>>
Saitama's abilities run on the rule of whatever is funniest. Matched up against Superman or Goku or anyone that huge fuckin' nerds actually care about winning he'll easily one-shot, but I think Popeye would be a worthy opponent ONLY IF preceded by a one-shot fight against Goku or Superman.

>But simply saying that people within his canon dont match to his power, so everyone else in every other canon will die in one punch as well is not really good logic.
That's really the point of this thread. How do we know how cartoon characters like Popeye fare in another universe? The only thing that makes this interesting (as opposed to more asinine Goku vs Superman debates) is that OPM makes a point out of subverting cliches.

>The idea that everyone he's beat so far is too weak for him doesnt mean "he wins because his power is winning"
What's the difference though? The point of his character is that feasibly everyone is too weak that the two are one and the same. Saitama is basically an invincible hero in every sense of the term, his power isn't winning but it might as well be.

>It's not like Squirrel Girl where it's literally her power, his winning is just a side effect of his strength.
That's the comedy of it as well. At one point, the universe's strongest telepath tries to grab him but gets an aneurysm from the attempt. Saitama feels bad enough in response that he lets him do it, despite his strength not logically related towards any psychic resistance. It's not hard to imagine that this invincibility would apply to everything else.

>>81574617
You're missing the point if you think it's an either-or scenario as by that logic, any crossover fight would be lopsided if by playing by one character's rules.

The difference is that Saitama and Popeye are gimmick characters, so there's no need to compare power levels. We just need to examine whose gimmick would work better and Saitama's is superior because Popeye's resembles the kind Saitama parodies. Popeye's spinach is like a second wind trump card that gives him what he needs to do what he wants whereas Saitama's trump card is simply holding back his infinite strength as much as he needs to until he doesn't care.

There is a very real difference between always winning and never losing.

Here, saying his power is winning when it isnt is giving Saitama a reason to win in a fight with someone who has comparable strength, for no real reason.

I do agree with the second part though. Which now makes me think that a better discussion would be Saitama vs Pucca. I havent watched the series but from what Ive read, it's similar to OPM, where the plots are just the other characters fighting long enough for Pucca to arrive and destroy them, with no perceived limits. and her feats are also pretty meme-worthy. Once she spun a normal jump rope so fast that it transported her to another dimension.

Guys, saitama is a gag character. He exists purely to poke fun at shounen manga and his entire gimmick revolves around the fact that powerlevels are fucking retarded. The moment you start any "saitama vs x" argument means you've already lost, because you're the exact kind of autist ONE openly mocks

The point isn't which gag character is stronger, it's that pitting two gag characters against each other is fucking retarded. To put genuine thought into the combat of fictional characters removed from their own universes is stupid, and ultimately futile. Go ask the creator of the character, and they could just say 'okay now my character has a super punch which beats anything regardless of circumstance'. All of a sudden, any point you could've made is rendered moot. That's what saitama represents, and why people who engage in these arguments involving OPM demonstrate the epitome of irony: that even considering the message ONE is trying to express, stupid people are still willing to waste their time bickering over nonsense just for the satisfaction of winning an empty argument

Saitama is a gag character whose fights and feats are all linked either to comic relief or to parody (which in no way makes it flawless or immune to critic and following some of the very tropes it makes fun of) shonen and as the title implies, one punch stuff.

Popeye is a character whose very concept is "once he eats spinach, he wins" couple with "he always finds a way to get his spinach". hell the universe pretty much bends itself to allow Popeye to get his green steroids when he needs them. once the theme song starts playing it's over, it's not even worth discussing, no matter how horribly the odds are stacked against him, Popeye ha already won. he could punch the fucking Big Bang away.

besides, Saitama is bound t a bigger extent by the "physical laws" of his universe, whereas in Popeye the very universe, aka the animation itself shifts and bends in popeye's favor.

In any case, that would mean that even Superman would beat OPM as long as the fight is being published in a Superman comic because at the end he is always set to win, even if he is beaten down or it takes 12 issues he will win.

Also OPM is not a gag manga, is a comedy/action manga and at most a parody of other Shonen.

Popeye of course. Saitama run on anime "realistic" logic where Popeye run on cartoon logic. You can do something that realistically would have Popeye be a puddle of blood but with cartoon logic he will be flat as a pancake then just pop right back up as if nothing happened.

Saitama does have his limits it just no one came even close to them. He is just that overpowered. Popeye is only human but if he had a single can of spinach already he may as well be Saitama levels of superhuman just more down to Earth (as in better control and not blasting holes in mountains) and with the added cartoon logic of having his arms gain the weight of a ship's anchor and such. Add more cans to that and there is no telling how crazy things can get.

I wrote all of this just to piss off OPM "fans" that didn't even know the series existed til the anime. Ed with a rock in his shoe would be even better than Popeye.
