Saitama Introduction Arc
Saitama is a bald, average-height man with brown eyes, a lean but athletic build, and subtly defined musculature. His most distinguishing trait is his hairless head, a result of his rigorous training regimen, which replaced his former short black hair. Whenever Saitama wants to put in more effort during combat, he uses these so-called “serious” moves, often accompanied by a serious facial expression. However, these expressions can vary, meaning his face does not always appear exactly the same when performing these moves. Sometimes, he uses a killer move while still looking mostly like his usual, relaxed self, with only a slight frown. One of the main reasons for amalgamation is the potential to achieve synergies between the combining entities.
As Saitama explores the Monster Association base, the passage he’s in is flooded with water due to damage from the fight between Child Emperor and Phoenix Man. Saitama finds himself thrown into an underground waterfall, and sees Child Emperor’s Brave Giant robot off to his side. The two of them attempt in vain to communicate, and they ultimately land on top of the graveyard of the Subterranean People. After school on a rainy day, Saitama watches the news about an ongoing monster incident in Z-City and the increasing outbreak of monsters in the last decade. The next day, his homeroom teacher calls him to the teacher’s room to rebuke him. King and Saitama vs. Elder Centipede is the battle between the heroes King and Saitama and the Monster Association executive Elder Centipede.
Mysterious Beings That Survived a Punch from Saitama
The force behind his blows is so immense that many monsters, including Dragon-level threats, appear to “explode” upon impact. However, there have been a few instances where some have survived one of Saitama’s punches, but they may have experienced varying degrees of impact, with some receiving weaker blows while others faced more powerful strikes. Generally, Mysterious Beings rated at least Dragon-level (or higher) are the ones capable of surviving Saitama’s punches. Despite this, none have managed to present a genuine challenge to Saitama, with them only lasting longer than his typical opponents or still being incapacitated after the punch. Saitama shows himself alright where before he can attack, the hero sees many people bursting from a underground hatch asking who they were.
Norton says his character is an “amalgamation of lots of different people” who existed at the time, adding that he found researching into the history of Guinness “remarkable and fascinating”.

Suddenly, a big earthquake occurs, with Sage Centipede, the source of it, appearing and soon Evil Natural Water, who has become one with the ocean and grown exponentially in size. While the two newly emerged threats are fighting Garou, Saitama rushes towards the massive aquatic monster, and amalgamation meaning strikes it with a Serious Punch, dispersing it as well as splitting the entire ocean. Immediately after, he notices that a floating aircraft carrier exposes, and is incapable of saving itself and all the people on board. Saitama then lands on it and as he is unable to carry it due to having no land to stand on, he instead decides to use the vessel’s deck as an impromptu surfboard, surfing on it and saving the crew from gargantuan waves.
