This conversation is getting nowhere

1) OPM universe does have its own set of logic, like any other fiction. Otherwise, ONE wouldn't bother explaining how a limiter works or how tatsumaki and fubuki develop different psychic techniques. True, OPM defies real physical law, but I doubt there are any fantasy story that does not deviate from science.

2) It is apparent, through limiter theory and feats, that saitama is designed to be invincible in his universe, and this is indeed not uncommon among other series, such as The Presence of DC or the One Above All. The nature of their omnipotent powers are, from a literary standpoint, same as Saitama's, the only difference is that Saitama's powers are demonstrated in a comical and straightforward manner. There is no point in pitting one invincible character against another, because ultimately the only things you guys are arguing is the word of one creator against another.

3) Parodies are indeed full of jokes but it is also meant to be taken seriously. No great work may reach prominence without a meaningful theme and message - that is the point of satire. Instances such as Mumen Rider vs Deep Sea King are meant to leave significant impressions on the audience, and the creator's own sense of moral, justice, right or wrong is emphasized even clearer in the Saitama vs Garou fight. It is apparent that ONE does not value physical prowess and physical fights as much as mental development and diversification of characters. This ideal is epitomized in his other work, Mob Psycho 100. Therefore, none of the fights are to be taken seriously, but the consequences and the mentalities involved are.
