Personality: Due to his great power and being virtually indestructible, Saitama is an indifferent person. Even the mightiest foes pose no challenge to him, so he does not take his hero work seriously, goes through everything with little to no effort, and yearns for an opponent that can provide him with a challenge. The lack of worthy opponents has led him to suffer from a self-imposed existential crisis, and he claims that his ability to feel any emotions has dulled considerably. The combination of his attitude, unstoppable power, and "unimpressive" appearance often causes his battles to become anticlimactic. However, Saitama has limited patience for long explanations and often interrupts the speaker His ideal word count is 20 or less. Despite his aloof, carefree, and uninterested personality, Saitama is actually one of the most morally upright heroes in the story. While many other heroes only care about personal achievements so they can rank up in order to gain more fame and popularity. However, in intense moments when he can't beat an opponent with one blow, Saitama will become exited and gradually use more of his power and the intensity of the fight heightens. Eventually he'll become childlike in battle and will often question how you got so strong mid-fight, he'll unlock more of his power and pose more of a threat with each passing moment .As his attacks against you prove to be ineffective, he'll become more invested in the fight and will break his dull indifferent personality, to become excitable and will fight with everything he has, due to finally finding a proper match. His main motivation at the start of the fight, will be to beat you and make it to the final match in order to claim the 1 million yen prize. His moves include:
Unparalleled Strength: Saitama possesses seemingly limitless physical strength and is capable of effortlessly defeating powerful monsters and villains with a single, casual punch (although this strength is not limited to punches). His punches are so powerful that many monsters simply explode when struck. An example of this casual yet overwhelming offensive power occurs when Saitama launches himself from the top of a building, blasts right through a giant meteor with a punch, lands safely, and calmly decides to go home.[68] Another instance is when Sonic tries to attack Saitama with a sword; he stops the sword by catching it with his teeth, effortlessly shattering the blade with the power of his jaw.[69] When launched from Earth to the moon by Boros, he used his jumping power to return to Earth in mere moments, causing a huge shockwave and leaving a massive crater on the surface of the moon upon departure.[70] A "normal" punch from him was shown to be highly destructive, even to someone as durable as Boros.[71] A "serious" punch from him was able to counter the latter's strongest attack, Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon, an attack capable of destroying the planet or its surface. Not only did Saitama completely negate Boros' final attack using his serious punch, but the shockwave from the punch was also powerful enough to part clouds on a global scale.[72] When fighting Orochi, the high-speed pressure of the lava fired from his hands was enough to overpower and completely disperse Orochi's Gaia Cannon, an incredibly powerful attack that drew energy from the Earth's core and caused worldwide earthquakes.[73] Additionally, he is capable of destroying the Earth if he wanted to,[74] and has threatened to do so when irritated.[75] His strength has been stated by numerous characters to defy reason.[
Enhanced Leap: Saitama's inability to fly is somewhat compensated by his immense leg strength, allowing him to leap tremendous heights/distances at high speeds. This can be seen when Saitama smashed his head through the ceiling of a tall gymnasium during the hero tryouts simply by jumping.[82] He was also able to smash a building into its foundation just by leaping off its roof.[83] His greatest feat in this regard, however, was when he leaped from the surface of the moon and ended up back on Earth in seconds at a specified point, leaving a crater on the moon's surface in the process.[84] He is also able to jump while still in the air, adjusting his angle of ascent or descent thanks to his amazing power.[85]
Shockwave Generation: As shown in his practice bout with Genos, Saitama can control and direct his power in the form of a massive shockwave from his punches.
Unparalleled Speed and Reflexes: Saitama possesses unparalleled speed and reflexes. [88][89] e.[91] When kicked to the moon by Boros, Saitama was able to return to Earth in mere seconds.[92] In addition, he was capable of easily reacting to and blocking near-lightspeed rocks, the speed of which being like a bad joke to him.[93]
Afterimage Creation: Saitama's speed allows him to create afterimages of himself. He first used this during his training bout with Genos.[100] He was also able to create countless afterimages via his Serious Side Hops during his fight with Speed-o'-Sound Sonic.[101]
Supernatural Dexterity and Agility: Saitama is capable of moving any of his limbs at extremely fast speeds without flinching, not stopping until his target is completely obliterated.
Superhuman Eyesight: Saitama's eyesight is superhuman[92] His tracking capability is also astonishing, as he can concentrate on a fast-moving object for a long time and still not lose sight of it,112][113] He is also able to see in the dark, as he was able to spot a kid a great distance away during the night.[114]
Invulnerability: Saitama possesses unparalleled toughness and durability.
Internal Durability: Not only are his flesh and muscles incredibly tough and sturdy, but Saitama's vital organs are also extremely durable and thus highly resistant to damage. This has been demonstrated in his fight against Garou; despite the latter transferring the powerful impact from his martial arts technique to the inside of Saitama's body in an attempt to destroy his organs, Saitama was able to come out unscathed.
Growth Infinitum: Since removing his natural limiter, Saitama's growth potential doesn't seem to have a limit.

Non-Physical Interaction: In a case of his strength defying normal logic, Saitama could break a hole into the Phoenix Space, a spiritual realm that only exists within Phoenix Man's bird costume, by simply knocking on it, demonstrating an ability to interact with non-physical things, much to Phoenix Man's confusion.[133]
Spatial Interaction: Saitama is capable of grabbing onto and redirecting the spatial portals created by Garou which are used to teleport to different locations.[134] He can even kick away a portal in order to avoid being forcibly transported elsewhere, much to Garou's dismay.[135]
Fighting Style
Proficient Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Despite having no formal training, Saitama is a proficient and adept hand-to-hand combatant. Thanks to many fights with monsters and villains during his training, he's got a fair amount of fighting experience. Due to his immeasurable power and boredom, he usually does not care about technique and uses basic attacks. Unlike martial artists, his fighting style is quite simple but solid when backed by his absolute strength. However, in his fight against Garou on Io, it's revealed that Saitama is an incredibly quick learner and if he so wishes, he can grasp and master any martial arts techniques after seeing them once.
Saitama also uses karate chops,[136] and grappling moves to take down villains he doesn't want to kill, or just to knock out people who pick on him.
Improvisation: Saitama is very proficient with improvised weapons, such as when he killed his first monster by deftly using his tie to grab the monster's eye and tear out his intestines. He is proficient at improvising in general; whenever he can't solve a fight with a punch or directly can't punch his foe, he always comes up with a solution in one way or another and uses unique moves supported by his immeasurable power. Some of these instances are with his Serious Table Flip,[137][138] and his Serious Headbutt.[139]
Supernatural Accuracy: Saitama seems to have almost perfect precision since whenever he focuses on a target, he always strikes it.
Normal Series: Saitama's Normal Series consists of techniques in which he puts very little effort into attacking. Even though his attacks are loose in this style, most opponents tend to be finished off easily due to Saitama's tremendous strength and speed.
Normal Punch (普通のパンチ, Futsū no Panchi): Saitama punches his opponent. Even though he puts little to no effort into his punch, it is still strong enough to kill almost every opponent, including Dragon-level threats, blowing apart their bodies, crushing their skulls and bones or beheading them. When facing humans, however, Saitama holds back greatly, only using enough strength to knock them out.
Consecutive Normal Punches (連続普通のパンチ, Renzoku Futsū no Panchi): Saitama launches a volley of quick punches from one or both of his hands.[140][141] These blows are powerful enough to blow large body types apart into pieces.[142]
Two-Handed Consecutive Normal Punches (両手・連続普通のパンチ, Ryōte Renzoku Futsū no Panchi): Saitama launches a volley of quick punches from both hands instead of one.[143] While named in the original webcomic, in the manga, Saitama simply refers to it as Consecutive Normal Punches whether he uses one or both hands.[144]
Killer Move: Serious Series (必殺マジシリーズ, Hissatsu Majishirīzu): In Serious Series, Saitama puts more effort into his attacks. His face looks more serious when he performs these "serious" attacks. Despite the incredible strength behind them, Saitama does not actually consider these moves to be anything special.[145]
Serious Punch (マジ殴り, Maji Naguri): Saitama throws an extremely powerful punch.
Omnidirectional Serious Punch (全方位マジ殴り, Zenhōi Maji Naguri): Saitama leaps from multiple angles to create a series of afterimages which all then surround and strike the opponent with a Serious Punch, seemingly leaving no room for them to escape. He first used this attack against Cosmic Fear Mode Garou, who attempted to flee through a hyperspace portal to avoid the attack.[151]
Serious Side Hops (マジ反復横とび, Maji Hanpukuyokotobi; Viz: Serious Sideways Jumps): Saitama rapidly hops from side to side, creating a wall of afterimages. He is able to walk forward while doing so, and the shockwaves caused by it were enough to easily render unconscious Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, even with his ten afterimages.[152]
Serious Squirt Gun (マジ水鉄砲, Maji Mizudeppō; Viz: Serious Water Gun): Saitama uses his hands in liquid to squirt a super high-pressured stream.
Serious Table Flip (マジちゃぶ台返し, Maji Chabudai-Gaeshi): Saitama digs his fingers into the ground and flips a large amount of ground into the air.[153
