One-Punch Man’s Saitama is known for his nearly limitless strength, but the latest chapter of the manga drops a valuable way to measure his power. So we crunched the numbers to see just how strong Saitama is. Spoilers: He's stronger than two nuclear bombs!
One of the questions that One-Punch Man fans desperately want answered is just how strong the protagonist Saitama really is. Because the whole premise of the manga is that Saitama is stronger than anything and anyone else, to the point of growing bored with the lack of challenges in his life, it is hard to put his power into a comprehensible context, especially since most of his feats take place in the heat of battle.
One-Punch Man began as a satire of the shonen manga genre. It was first created as a webcomic by author ONE, who wanted to flip many of the shonen and superhero tropes, by making his protagonist extremely strong in the beginning, rather than in the end as is usually the case. Saitama can end any fight with one punch, making all the struggles that heroes normally go through completely meaningless. However, he struggles with everyday problems instead, like money or the loss of hair.
In chapter #157, thinking about the best way to save the ship that is being capsized by the huge waves, Saitama reflects that if he had somewhere to stand firmly, he could simply lift the carrier and carry it away. While the solution he finds is even more ridiculous , that declaration gives readers a minimum threshold for Saitama's strength.
The two most recent aircraft carriers used by the US Navy, the Nimitz class and Ford class, weigh approximately 100,000 tons, so it's far to assume Saitama is able to lift and move at least that weight. The force required to hold something against gravity, or lifting, is calculated using the formula m x g . To lift that air carrier, Saitama would then produce 882 million joules of force.
Applying science to works of fiction can be fun, especially in the case of outrageous manga such as One-Punch Man, but every calculation is obviously an approximation, as comic book characters rarely adhere to the laws of physics, and this is especially true for Saitama. .item-num::after { content: '/ '; } Share Share Tweet Email 0 Comment TMNT is Turning a Goofy Group of Allies into Dark Villains Related Topics About The Author Francesco Cacciatore 2-time Ph.D.
