I honestly think Saitama doesn't believe Sonic is truly as bad or as evil as Sonic believes himself to be. I mean he is a ninja being hired to kill people is just a job and his first job in the story was killing a bunch of terrorists before mistaking Saitama for one. Then he degrades into a Sitcom Arch-Nemesis style enemy after their original fight.
Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.That's Western, though, and relatively recent. If I remember correctly, old school Japanese kids' shows like that never had the bad guys win. They were pretty formulaic. Monster shows up and causes trouble -> heroes show up to defeat monsters. Most Tokusatsu works were this, more or less. Think Might Morphin' Power Rangers, which rarely if ever had any sort of multi-episode arc, and each episode was just the Power Rangers making the latest Monster of the Week explode.

I honestly wouldn't be able to say, because Anpan Man is old and it's really hard to find episodes of that.
This guy, when faced with Saitama, will not be overjoyed at finally finding a challenge. Instead, he will be frustrated by being forced to fight someone he can’t effortlessly roll over, his reaction an inversion of Saitama’s.
Except, depending on how many Moral Event Horizons this guy has crossed, if such a villain were to exist, it might ultimately taint Saitama’s enjoyment.

Ok

Have you ever wondered what is Saitama's costume even made of?
I don't question the logic behind saitama himself, but how does his outfit survive things like Boros' ultimate attack?

Uni catI'm just saying, pretending to lose and dragging out fights for the sadistic pleasure of seeing the hope drain out of his enemies' eyes is Alucard's exact M.O. He'll pretend to get completely wrecked, will give you a moment to gloat over his mangled corpse, then will rise again in a form that is just eldritch enough (but not nearly as eldritch as he can get) to leave it imprinted in your mind how you have irrevocably doomed yourself to dying a horrible, agonizing, humiliating death.
But yeah, Alucard would like to die at the hands of a full-blooded Human. He's aware of being a monster, and his sadism is the tragic laugh of a self-hating Sad Clown who knows it's too late for him, and only wishes for the release of death.
◊ I'm not linking to the funniest joke the Joker ever told. You'll have to read The Killing Joke yourselves to get the full story. Then I guarantee that you will laugh.
Alucard at his full power would be invulnerable to Saitama. Or rather, killing him would be an incredibly long and tedious grind: he would have to punch through millions of lives.
Another anti-hero/villain who has that as standard modus operandi is the Anti-Spiral: the Hope Spot is, due to the nature of their setting, the most deadly weapon imaginable. In that setting, I... actually think Saitama would have a load of fun. He can't possibly punch out a monster the size of a galaxy.
That is, until they would just trap him into an imagined reality just like his dream of fighting the Underground king. An eternal dream of excellent fights. Unless Saitama has his own Kamina to shake him out of the dream, it's game over.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.![]()
Yeah, that's basically his primary goal. He gets really angry when Anderson throws away his humanity for the power to defeat him.
The question you have to ask in that sort of situation is "what's the funniest way this could fail to work on him?" I predict the fights would have to escalate to the point where he crashes the simulation.

Saitama might be able to punch out all of Alucard's lives in one go all things considered.
As for the Anti-Spiral, I don't know if they could take him either. He'd certain make their usual modus operandi difficult since it's hard to make yourself just a little stronger than your enemy when your enemy's strength level is I always win.
That being said, the Lotus-Eater Machine strategy might be perfect. Saitama has no selled Telekinesis, but we don't know how a direct mental attack would work. That's probably why it's never been used in One Punch Man yet.
Oh. Never considered him doing that. That's probably what would happen actually.

That would actually be hilarious, but those weren't simulations, though, they were full-blown, entire Alternate Universes.
I propose the alternative: that he gets bored of good fights.

In other words, if you're an unrepentant Card-Carrying Villain type, he doesn't really give a damn as long as you can put up a good fight.
