The Weakest Character to Defeat Saitama in Hero's Universe

In the world of One Punch Man, Saitama has seemingly attained invincibility, but in reality, there could be a character who poses a challenge even to the most powerful beings. This article explores different contenders who could potentially defeat Saitama, along with an analysis of why they might be the weakest.

Empty Void

Empty Void is a unique character who possesses the ability to manipulate possible scenarios without being physically present in them. This makes him almost intangible to Saitama, who primarily relies on his physical presence to defeat enemies. While it is nearly impossible for Saitama to hit Empty Void, there is a downside to his power. Empty Void can send Saitama to an empty universe where everyone is dead, essentially leaving him to starve. However, currently, Empty Void lacks any physical attacks that can harm Saitama, and equally, cannot harm Saitama himself.

God

God is a character who is on par with Saitama, as both do not have a power limit. The only difference is that God invented the powers that limit others. The battle between Saitama and God would primarily involve the rate of growth, as only a fraction of God's power could match Saitama. Assuming God does not mess around and allows Saitama to grow, God would likely emerge as the victor.

Zombieman

As of now, Zombieman is not strong enough to defeat Saitama. However, the future holds a different story. With the help of Dr. Genus, Zombieman is on the way to breaking his limiter, which mirrors Saitama's progression. Should he break this limiter, Zombieman will match Saitama's strength, plus he will possess an incredibly powerful healing factor. This transformation would significantly increase the possibility of Zombieman defeating Saitama.

Mosquito

The tiny Mosquito in One Punch Man survived against Saitama's strongest attack, and this mosquito's power would be exponentially greater if it were god-powered. A mosquito that has access to god-like abilities would likely defeat Saitama easily.

Edit: Empty Void

It's worth noting that in a recent edit, it was acknowledged that Empty Void fumbled the bag even after transforming, indicating a potential weakness in his power or strategy.

Bayverse Optimus and Megatron

Characters from the Bayverse, such as Optimus Prime and Megatron, pose a significant challenge to Saitama. Optimus Prime and other transformers are not only stronger but also faster than Saitama. Megatron and Bumblebee can keep up with Optimus, suggesting that they are on par with his power level. Therefore, characters like Optimus Prime and Megatron would easily defeat Saitama.

Garm and Surtr

The characters Garm and Surtr from various shows could potentially defeat Saitama, as they are depicted as beings who could consume entire universes. These characters represent some of the weakest beings able to defeat Saitama from other franchises.

Saitama is Not Immortal

Popular opinion often portrays Saitama as invincible, but this article highlights some of the weaknesses and potential challenges he faces. The weakest character to defeat Saitama is God, although this is debatable due to his role as the final antagonist. With the exception of external factors or limitations, God could theoretically defeat Saitama. Other strong contenders include characters like the Soul King from Bleach and Shibai from Boruto. The Son Gok from Dragon Ball is also a fascinating possibility, as his power scalability could theoretically make him either much stronger or weaker than Saitama, depending on the interpretation.

Conclusion

While Saitama is one of the strongest and perhaps most recognizable characters in the One Punch Man universe, the analytical approach presented here suggests that there are indeed some characters who could potentially challenge and even defeat him. These include God, characters from the Bayverse, and various other powerful beings from other manga series. The key takeaway is that no character is truly invincible in a fictional universe, and the challenge of defeating Saitama remains an intriguing topic for discussion among fans and enthusiasts.
