I LOVE the idea behind this manga. A hero that is SO powerful that NOTHING poses a threat at all.

I love how all characters around him struggle and fight and I simmer in excitement for the moment Saitama shows up and seals the deal. How he struggles to get recognition because somehow something always takes his credit and how one person after the other slowly catches on to his true nature.

How he struggles to find excitement in his life and casually bounds with people simply because he doesn't really care. No matter what their intentions are he just talks to them normally because he simply stands above everything.

The "anti-climactic" conclusions of him effortlessly killing his opponent are in fact the pinnacles for me I look forward to. And always the thought in the back of my head that some day some sort of creature might appear that can fight back. Also I like how observers are in total awe and disbelieve, seeing what level of destruction a simple movement of him can cause.

The piece of information is dropped that he somehow "removed his limiter" every creature has by default that represents the ceiling, the maximum potential no one should be able to overcome. He did just that and now his power literally knows no boundaries. Still just a human but every physical skill a human has pushed to infinity.

I cannot wait to see the writer experiment further with this. Saitama should be able to perform such impossibly fast movements that he creates nuclear fission and given that his power knows no limits the series might as well end with him setting off a second big bang, recreating the universe.

Either way I think this is a refreshingly honest take on your average manga hero or character (especially in shounen). They all struggle and get temporarily defeated but always somehow come back and save the day. So while that is entertaining and if well written doesn't even require a blatant ass-pull (as negative examples Dragonball Z/GT, Bleach, Fairy Tail, ect. which constantly just totally come up with random shit and end up looking ridiculous) it IS a very common theme. So in this manga you have a character that apparently wins by default because he already is on top of everyone else. No struggling, no crisis, no ass-pulls even though you know the end-result either way. Just an honest "This guy wins. And he can do it in one punch".
