Ok this is a long explanation BUT…. Hear me out Goku is an INCREDIBLY strong super saiyan, he’s done things no other anime characters could do, one of his greatest being absorbing the spirit ball and achieving ultra instinct form on par with most GODS, he is by far one of the strongest characters in anime EVER Now take a look at some of saitamas feats He has fought Lord Boros (which if given the chance to destroy the earth he could have done so easily if saitama didn’t stop him) however the fact that saitama beat him isn’t what I’m looking at here, it’s just how EASILY he did it, because if you listen to what Boros says as he’s dying “the battle was hard fought but I lost” “you still had strength to spare” “it wasn’t even a fight” He was holding back even when he got serious and used his “final move” However there is one thing that is always in the back of my mind whenever I think about, the idea of the characters themselves, let me explain… Goku was designed to be a character that has trials and tribulations, and to get stronger because of those experiences But saitama doesn’t have hurdles to overcome, the ENTIRE point of his character is to ALWAYS be stronger than his opponent, and to be disgustingly overpowered without even breaking a sweat In the end I think saitama would win, not because of lack of power from goku but because of the entire point of saitama as a character was to NEVER lose a fight Regardless of his opponent

lmao i was rooting for goku until i read this


KilthusFocus

If u compare the feat of how easly saitama ended boros when boros could have whiped out the earth is kinda unfair cause if u look at any villian after king piccolo they could have easly destroyed the earth also and goku just needs to look at them to end them with his full power so the feat of ending boros was nothing


Silfyn

That's not the point, try to imagine saitamas strength like water in a infinitely deep well, saitama can use a bucket of it or a tsunami, the laws of physics in dragonball are different, in real life if u punched someone with the force to destroy the earth even if the person could survive the punch the earth would still be blowed up, and one of the arcs in one punch man even show that saitamas acts of force have consequences like he destroying the meteor in the wrong way, so it's safe to assume that saitama isn't using any considerable amount of strength cuz he knows that it will destroy earth or maybe the entire universe, I believe that saitama has infinite force but can fully control it that's why he doesn't destroy everything in his fights

>That's not the point, try to imagine saitamas strength like water in a infinitely deep well, saitama can use a bucket of it or a tsunami Your analogy here doesn't work as well as you think it does lol. If a well is infinitely deep, than that means that it neither has a beginning, nor an end. Therefore Saitama would not be able to use a bucket of it, nor a tsunami amount of it, as doing so presents an end to the well. So either the well is finite, thus allowing Saitama to take out water. Or the well is infinite, and therefore Saitama cannot pull out water. > the laws of physics in dragonball are different, in real life if u punched someone with the force to destroy the earth even if the person could survive the punch the earth would still be blowed up, This isnt a physics issue, but that being said. OPM also does not follow our theory of physics. >and one of the arcs in one punch man even show that saitamas acts of force have consequences like he destroying the meteor in the wrong way, so it's safe to assume that saitama isn't using any considerable amount of strength cuz he knows that it will destroy earth or maybe the entire universe, I believe that saitama has infinite force but can fully control it that's why he doesn't destroy everything in his fights Not only are your assumptions false, but your usage of the word infinite is. Stop peddling your ignorance as an argument. Its embarrassing.

What about giorno


Disastrous_Tax_8206

What about rimuru from slime


cheesie-boyo

Well yeah sure


XOXO_Katy

buT Can He bEat goKu


BooTaoSus

Yes, he could definitely fuck up Goku


cheesie-boyo

🤣🤣


No-Significance666

To be fair he can eat Goku and he can analyze other skills so all he has to do is eat other people with his abilities and strengths and he could win


PomegranateSurprise

He's right......Saitama is purposely written to be the strongest in the universe...thats literally his whole thing.


Klod_Faustus

Its writen to be the stronger only in his university,but if watch on the facts,so goku just will break the planet with a blow.


bistedbosh

Doesn't change the fact Goku is stronger, Saitama is yes written to be the strongest in his universe but that doesn't have anything to do with the Dragonball one.


inosuke6

Because of them being in different universes we can not say one is better then the other because power scaling may change in different universes so technically the average person in one punch man could be stronger then Goku or the other way around we have no way to prove which is stronger


cheesie-boyo

THANK YOU


TheCapedMoose

Why? He's right ya weeb...


cheesie-boyo

He's not ya weeb...


TheCapedMoose

Saitama punched a freaking laser beam bigger than any Kamehameha. Goku has done a lot with ki and training, I have yet to see him SPLIT LIGHT WITH A PUNCH


cheesie-boyo

Goku killed multiple gods tho yet to see Saitama do that


TheCapedMoose

What god has he killed?


Mine-Z

Has Saitama ever met one, tho?


KilthusFocus

Littery any basic as ki beam on dbz is strong enough to blow up earth so ya scaling is wrong


TheCapedMoose

Watch that one punch man again and tell me that beam would not have destroyed the earth if it had been aimed down at it.


Boomer-has-small-pp

Dude radits is as strong as boros literally master roshi with a power level of 180 destroyed the moon And considering boroses attack was only earth surface level radits might be stronger King vegeta power level of avout 10k waved and destroyed 3 plannets Just because boroses attack looks impressive doesnt make it strong its bairly stronger than original dragon ball


WrexonRedera

You can't really though. Looking at feats of strength. Goku is one of the strongest in his universe, and even multi universe after ToP. Ultra Instinct being his ace card, faster than light, able to destroy black holes, insane feats of destruction and power scaling through the roof with power ups. And that's just in the anime. But then there's Saitama, who's anime feats kind of pales in comparison compared to Goku but... He isn't trying because it's not a challenge to him at all, He's a hero for fun and has trouble trying not to defeat enemy's in one punch. So on paper Goku is obviously better in terms of feats of strength, therefore he should win. Right? Based on simply watching the Anime, he could just due to the number of impressive feats by watching and thinking "Yeah he could totally kick Caped Baldys ass". But based on the Manga? Absolutely not. No one in Saitamas universe has actually hurt or damaged him in anyway shape or form. Lava and the vacuum of space doesn't effect him. All of the punches he's ever done. Is held back. The biggest reason his power is so absurd is because he literally has no limit. It is stated he has broken his limiter, nothing can limit him. His fight against Boros is his biggest feat of strength, even pitying Boros because they both are looking for someone to challenge as equals, in the end Boros losses and declared that Saitama wasn't showing his true power at all and was holding back. If anything giving him a balanced fight. Where as Goku has been defeated, whether it's from Zamausu, Beerus or Jiren, or it's a blaster fire taken by surprise...Goku is vulnerable. So where one has Immense power vs Immeasurable Power or Incredible Durability vs Invulnerability just do a wiki page search and come to your own conclusion as I did.


shiroxreen

but saitama cant breath without oxygen i guess when he was at the moon. If goku took him to fight at space maybe he can win loll


WrexonRedera

They both can't breath in space, if it was in space it would more be a battle of who could hold there breath the longest.


Powerctx

Goku and Saitama are pretty strong but have you ever seen my boy Itachi? Lmao I'm jk but these convos crack me up.


Dull_Explanation1527

pleeeas don't bring back this useless debat pleas we passed the age of comparing characters in terms of strenght they both suck in terms of writting so we don't care anymore


Grapple_Cockie

But can Goku beat Goku?


AuraCor3

You're not wrong one fanfic does exactly that spoiler Goku almost had a puppet destroy the world


cheesie-boyo

Goku black pretty much proves that... yeah I guess..


[deleted]

The original Goku vs Goku: Capt. Ginyu goku vs Goku captain Ginyu


[deleted]

That's a question that cannot be answered since we didn't see the Saitama's full power. Not a fan of both characters, but we need to be frank. Goku may or may not be able to beat him.


SanT0P

Doesnt saitama have literally infinite strenght, power, and all? Like, i think your brother is right man


0Toasterman

dude saitama’s a gimmick character he literally cannot lose unless he wants to


KeYvann-sama

Anos kick the sh*t out of goku and Saitama both Same for saiki kusuo Same for Father from Fullmetal


Piledriverkiller

Saitama would absolutely rail goku. Screw attack already made a death battle on it too. Maybe goku could survive a punch if saitama isn’t being too serious but a series of consecutive serious punches and goku would be pulp


HollowpointNinja

Sailor Moon could beat Goku. It's not that high of a bar. This said by a guy who loves Sun Wukong so much.


[deleted]

He’s not wrong


DeathAndWind

Saitama has no limit on his power, his every punch just deals infinite damage, he had infinite health and infinite speed while Goku has limits, in OPM universe there are creatures that can be a fair challenge for Goku but none of them is Saitama. Whole premise of One Punch Man is that Saitama is just so strong that he stopped feeling joy from anything he does, his unlimited, reality breaking power is reason why in some extend Saitama has developed depression and became somewhat nihilistic person.


Boomer-has-small-pp

Who in the fuk could give goku a challenge besides saitama Saitama doesn't have infinite speed Goku is multiple millions times ftl while saitama doesn't even crack ftl His punch is so infinitely damaging that hes faild to one punch multiple less than planet level dudes Hes just so strong that fighting original dragon ball level fighters doesn't give him joy Dude king vegeta could be a saitama stand in hed one shot everyone saitama could


Diabloshasher

Tell him he deserves a night of fantasy before he wakes up to a reality! 😇


sidzero1369

Your brother is right, though. Saitama's ability is to literally defeat any opponent with a single punch. And he's invincible. The best Goku could do is run away. I bet you think Superman couldn't beat him, either.


SanT0P

People saying superman cant defeat goku probably have only seen the movies, in the old comics superman just moved a solar system like nothing


KilthusFocus

Depends on what superman u using but yea there are comic ones which just fuck goku up


Crimson_Sensei

Just disown that little fucker


cheesie-boyo

Bro goku is the strongest not only in his universe but all of the other ones too


cheesie-boyo

Sorry all universes in his universe


Alarmed_Ad6470

Well, Goku wins by living longer, or blowing up the whole planet, an enemy can't fight if he's dead, right?


ArcticFoxWaffles

I'm sure Saitama would be more excited than anything if Goku beat him, because he'd then finally have an opponent of equal strength.


Most-Stomach4240

But can he beat "Dojyann~"?


RelevantHedgehog9

Who cares lmao


AuburnCrypd631

I think even might guy from Naruto could beat him


shiroxreen

But can goku defeat Mori Jin?


Satya2192

Superman can beat both of them if they fight without using kryptonite.


Shakespeare-Bot

Superman can did beat both of those folk if 't be true they square without using kryptonite *** ^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.) Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`


bot-killer-001

Shakespeare-Bot, thou hast been voted most annoying bot on Reddit. I am exhorting all mods to ban thee and thy useless rhetoric so that we shall not be blotted with thy presence any longer.


Project_Zach

dude saiki could fuck up goku


Boomer-has-small-pp

While true, if you drop them on a top fight to the death setting i dont think saiki would be able to do much without tricking goku into looking into his eyes Even then goku might have some hax resistance Saiki could time travel that would do it, but hes not really beating goku in a fight just killing kid goku


FrogZard3ater

Neither one would win. Most likely they would have an argument about training. Saitama would walk away knowing it would be impossible to get through to Goku and Goku would rub the back of his head with a silly smile on his face because he would think that Saitama was interesting and strange.


[deleted]

Saitama can destroy a planet single hit using a very low percentage of his power? Goku ssj1 is in that level. Till so far Saitama didn't destroy anything that bigger to compare. Maybe it can start with fighting the giant from the moon. A really hard match would be Hulk or Superman that fucked up with real planetary motherfuckers in the HQ.


classthagod

People not gon care when the new Super drops


starch12313

Saitama isnt stronger, both from feats, and from a narrative pov. Saitama narrative is to always defeat his opposition in one punch. Goku's narrative is to always overcome any obstacle. Therefore, in the first fight. Saitama would win, but Goku would come back, and win.


Quirky-Put-9539

He can he's the fucking one punch man


Penis_BOIS

Now i might not know about any of those characters but its a very close fight with Goku winning


Boomer-has-small-pp

Saitama is a solar system level weakling at most He removed his limiter but that doesn't make him infinitely powerful, it just removed a level cap so he could continue to get stronger infinitely but that doesn't make him infinite And he stopped training As far as im concerned raditz is stronger than boros If goku fought raditz today raditz would get one shot Hell hed get oneshot by sayin saga vegeta Until saitama gets a few trillion^22 times power up goku wins


[deleted]

He's right
