You may get strong if you train. But you will get nowhere if you don't.

Also, you can be stronger than you are now.

The only person you need to surpass is the person you are now.

Wait, why are we ripping off quotes from exercise programs

[up]Because one of the main themes of the manga is exercise and power?

If we are talking about it, the manga surely is doing it right.

Hit the gym, people. Or the swimming pool, tracking field, tatami...

Normal people probably can't get as strong as Saitama just by training, considering Superalloy Darkshine trained WAY, WAY more, and WAY, WAAYYY harder than Saitama ever did, and while he's strong, he's nowhere near Saitama's level.

Shoulda tried Saitama's special training regimen.

I mean, I thought the reason was that Saitama ended up breaking the limits God places on all of His creations, because the training he did was just that far beyond what he should have been capable of handling; especially since it's been confirmed that his training regimen is actually physically impossible, because the AC and heating portions of it would actually kill you.

Believe it or not, people survived before air conditioning and central heating were invented.

It was actually the whole "doing all of that exercise without any form of air conditioning or fan during the summer" thing that would kill you.

Maybe, but you see him exercising outside. And in universe it still wouldn't be anything that special.

Pretty sure that other people besides Darkshine have trained harder. It's just not confirmed. But I'd imagine that Sonic, Bang, Lightspeed Flash, Atomic Samurai, and others have probably trained more intensively but also with a much higher degree of focus, like speed, or strength, or sword techniques.

Saitama was just a normal guy who decided to push himself as far as he could go in the only way he knew how, and then had a buffer overflow which set his physicals to Na N.

The theory I've seen the most is that Saitama is a Mysterious Being whose obsession is power itself. None of the other Mysterious Beings seem to be particularly special outside of their fetishes, so assuming the theory holds true, anyone could reach Saitama's level if they had an identical mindset.

Yeah, the idea is that he's the personification of killing giant monsters with one punch. That's why he has a weakness to mosquitos and small cats.

Basically he can only no-sell things that could genuinely harm him.

Aaaaand it's official!

...But it makes me wonder if they'll just straight up adapt the MA regardless of Murata, or if they will just cover the tournament/totally new story

[up] (4) So if Google wasn't lying, that page had a link titled, "[30%OFF] She who were canceled by the chara man of the megalopenis and failed in pleasure, and did it."

...where did you find this site?

[up](2) As if it wasn't going to happen. The real concern is if the anime's popularity will die off in a 3-4 year hiatus like Haruhi did. Hopefully there's enough material to cover. Murata isn't finished with the Garou arc.... unless the second season builds up to Garou and ends with him meeting Saitama on the street, and continues with Garou's storyline in the third season.

Wonder how far would they get this season. Would they reach the fight between Garou and Saitama? I hope so

Guys guys see the writing on the wall

since Mob Psycho with its faithfulness to ONE's shitpost-in-drawing-form artstyle is the hottest thing on the Crunchyrolls, obviously the rest of OPM is gonna be done like that.

Get it sorted out.

We have a year. Maybe Murata will start churning out chapters in an attempt to get it done.

We are on the verge of everything kicking off.
