Sigh. I'd really be a lot less annoyed with him if they'd just reveal the real reason for his infinite abilities, already.

I read the entire manga (at least what's been released so far) for every other character in the series, but I just can't seem to like Saitama, even if he is supposed to be a joke. He's just too oblivious and can't deduce that his training isn't what gave him his abilities (even with obvious things like his infinitely quick perception). As far as I can tell, the licenseless rider also trains very hard, but he still stays well within average human abilities.

Of course, the other huge factor is that he's a walking Duex Ex Machina. All he ever does is waltz into the scene, end the bad guy without any effort, and leave. It was funny at first, but now I'm starting to dislike him for the same reasons I dislike Superman. Just how many times is he going to win without any effort? If that's the main joke of this series, couldn't it have just been a single chapter?

I'm the first guy who will "shut his brain off" to enjoy things, but when I'm not laughing or enjoying it anymore, it's hard to stay in that mode. :P

That said, I will probably keep reading it. Most of the other characters are interesting, just not Saitama.
