I think it was made pretty clear from the moment we heard about Saitama's training that the amount of training has nothing to do with breaking your limiter. The only difference that  we have to go on is personality. Darkshine lacked confidence as a kid. His motivation came from someone who cared about him and gave him a gift.In 200 yen, Saitama didn't have that. He clearly DIDN'T lack confidence, and his motivation for not backing down from bullies or monsters...seemed to come from nowhere.That chapter ends with no "saving grace". No scene of parents to tend to his wounds, not a single one of the other students or teachers showing up as his friend. It was sad, really. But the point is that what makes Saitama's willpower unique from everyone else's is that it comes from nowhere. I call his willpower "pure willpower" and it may be the key to breaking your limiter. Saitama had no family or friends to cheer him on, never got popular or gained any fans(some people thank him,but it's very rare and minimal and doesn't explain his drive), isn't motivated by revenge or a tragic loss like genos, doesn't have any role models to look up to, never had any rivals like sonic or fubuki.... so the fact that he had a strong drive to fight monsters and push his body to its own personal limit is  a mystery. His lack of the basic need for a motivating factor may be the key to why he broke his limiter and no one else did.
