The Sheer Untapped Power of Saitama from One-Punch Man Goku

 There are two names repeatedly brought up when discussing the most powerful anime characters. First is Goku from the classic shonen series Dragon Ball. Second is Saitama from the highly popular One-Punch Man. Both leads are known for their immense strength and for defeating the strongest villains in each of their universes.


The mere question "Who is stronger: Saitama or Goku?" begins inevitable fan wars in comments and threads. It seems fans of the latter tend to ignore the fact that Saitama is an overpowered hero in general. He's not just powerful, but is definitively stronger than any other heroes. Let's break down these two glaring differences between them and explain why Saitama is stronger than Goku.


Saitama is a B-class hero and just a plain old human. He experiences everything an average human does and ages with time. Additionally, he has no special abilities like regenerative or magical powers. Goku, meanwhile, comes from an alien warrior race with superpowers, he can fly, use ki blasts and enhance his strength through his Super Saiyan forms. Saiyans age slowly compared to humans, as stated by Vegeta in Season 9 of Dragon Ball, which is a huge advantage.


Despite this massive gap between even their basic genetic makeup, Saitama displays as much strength as a regular Saiyan without any effort. In the times he has exerted even a bit more than his regular power, it's apparent his strength is comparable to Super Saiyan levels. The audience can only imagine how powerful Saitama could possibly get if he goes beyond his normal and serious punches.


Goku trains in martial arts in many different environments. He has even gone to other planets to improve his skills and endurance. There is even a specific episode where he uses a gravity machine to train under 100 times gravity and reached 10,000 situps. Since he also enjoys fighting, he regularly spars with his friends and children. Not only does he improve his techniques in battle, but also his power levels.


Saitama, on the other hand, has only mentioned sticking to his daily work out of 100 push-ups, situps, squats and a 10km run. From what has transpired in the anime, it appears like there is no need for him to improve or change. If harsher training has increased Goku's power, this should also apply to Saitama. He reached his current status by only relying on traditional methods. It is reasonable to hypothesize that if Saitama trained the exact same way Goku did, he would be far more powerful than Goku.

Sukuna Just Revealed the True Power Behind Megumi’s Technique

 Megumi Fushiguro was deemed a sorcerer with boundless potential by the Jujutsu Kaisen Society and his peers. He inherited the Zenin Clan's 10 Shadows, the strongest technique of the influential family. As such, Fushiguro's mentor, Gojo Satoru, has pushed him endlessly to achieve his potential, stating that his protégé's cursed technique could be just as powerful as his own Limitless and Six Eyes. Megumi has only managed to tame seven of the ten Shikigami that assist the technique and was almost killed by the strongest of the shadows, so he remains pretty far from mastering his power. Before he could prove his own potential, however, the evil Sukuna began using Fushiguro as a vessel and appears to have tamed some of the technique's remaining Shikigami. This means that two of the remaining three shadows are in the power of whomever wields the technique. Unfortunately, this has only made the King of Curses more formidable. Megumi Fushiguro's upbringing served him an o

BORUTO Just Became the Franchise Most Heartbreaking Villain

In Chapter 79 of the Boruto manga, a shocking turn of events with Kawaki makes the Hokage's son the main villain that Konoha has to murder. One of the most enthralling components in the Boruto manga has been the recent heel turn by Kawaki. Fans knew it was coming, as the flash-forward that started the series showed him and Boruto fighting atop the devastated Hokage Mountain. But it's never been revealed how they got there -- and nobody expected their rivalry to begin so soon. They've only just accepted each other as brothers, but Kawaki has turned on Naruto and Hinata. He trapped them in a secret dimension and then tried to kill Boruto, not wanting Momoshiki to possess Naruto's son again.

One Piece Pirates and real-life Pirates Share Some Similarities

The One Piece world of piracy is full of adventure, crazy characters, and ridiculous powers. The series may have been inspired by pirates, some of the characters even sharing names of infamous pirates in reality, but just how much of the pirate life is transcribed from the real world and how much is pure fantasy? When excluding the exuberant Devil Fruit powers and extreme character designs of the anime, there are certainly some similarities that indicate Eiichiro Oda drew from both historical and fictional concepts of pirate life. The life of a pirate was a balance of enjoyment and risk. They sailed the sea in search of other ships to sink and raid, they were hired by different navies to attack their enemies, and they amassed piles of treasure which usually ended up buried on an island or at the bottom of the sea. One Piece shows the world of piracy as if the crew is a family, sharing an unbreakable bond. Some pirate captains stood the test of time, until they found themselves hanged f
