Wave

Abilities and powers

**Unparalleled Strength:** Saitama possesses seemingly limitless physical strength and is capable of effortlessly defeating powerful monsters and villains with a single, nonchalant punch (although this strength is not limited to punches). His punches are so powerful that many monsters simply explode when struck. An example of this casual, yet overwhelming offensive power occurs when Saitama launches himself from the top of a building, blasts right through a giant meteor with a punch, lands safely, and just calmly decides to go home. Another instance is when Sonic tries to attack Saitama with a sword, but he stops the sword by catching it with his teeth, effortlessly shattering the blade with the power of his jaw. When launched from Earth to the moon by Boros, he used his jumping power to return to Earth in mere moments, causing a huge shock wave and immense tremors on the surface of the moon upon departure, as well as on Boros's ship upon landing. A "normal" punch from him was shown to be very fatal, even to someone as durable as Boros. A single "serious" punch from him was able to counter the latter's strongest attack, **Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon**, an attack capable of wiping out the entire planet's surface. Not only Saitama completely negated Boros' final attack using his serious punch, but the shockwave from the punch was also powerful enough to part clouds on a global scale. Saitama is capable of destroying the Earth if he wanted to. His strength has been stated by numerous characters to defy reason.

**Unparalleled Speed and Reflexes:** Saitama possesses unparalleled speed and reflexes. No other character has been shown to be faster than him thus far. He was able to complete a 1500 meter dash in an instant during his hero tryouts. He has proven able to effortlessly keep up with Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, who can move at above hypersonic speeds. Even Genos's computerized targeting systems have difficulty tracking him. Saitama has also shown the ability to run down a building to save a piece of salmon he was having for lunch, and leap back up said building without bystanders noticing he had even done so. His speed is so impressive that he can even outpace the likes of Flashy Flash, easily dodging his sword swings.[*citation needed*] When kicked to the moon by Boros, Saitama was able to return to Earth in mere seconds which suggests that he can even travel at sub-relativistic speeds. In addition, he was capable of easily reacting to and blocking Geryuganshoop's near lightspeed rocks, the speed of which being like a bad joke to him. Ironically, despite his incomparable reflexes and speed, he still has problems squashing a simple mosquito

**Supernatural Dexterity:** Saitama is capable of moving any of his limbs at extremely fast speeds without flinching, not stopping until his target is completely obliterated. This is seen when Saitama flawlessly whacks all moles on a Whack-A-Mole machine during the Hero Association exam.
**Supernatural Agility:** Saitama has been shown to be perfect at dodging and able to perform highly acrobatic maneuvers. Saitama's reflexes render him flexible enough to move through the narrowest creeks and dodge attacks at the closest proximity. Saitama is also able to perform parkour, which he can couple with fighting movements, as shown in his flashbacks.
**Immense Stamina:** Saitama has never been shown to tire out when fighting enemies. Even when unleashing a punch more powerful than a planet-destroying attack, Saitama showed no signs of fatigue. The only time in which Saitama was shown to be panting and out of breath from continuous running, he recovered just seconds later.

**Supernatural Senses:** Saitama's senses are far beyond the human norm. He possesses impressively sharp hearing, being able to pick up on various chatter from bystanders a good distance away even while fighting monsters and the like. He can even hear phone transmissions with well enough accuracy to gauge conversation and the contents of its dialogue.

**Invulnerability:** Saitama can withstand blows from extremely powerful beings such as Carnage Kabuto and even Boros without suffering any injury or feeling any pain. In fact, no character has actually been able to damage, or even physically harm Saitama in any way. When Genos created a huge, spherical blast of flame to kill Mosquito Girl's mosquitoes, Saitama remains standing right next to him completely unharmed, unperturbed and very dirty (though his clothes were burnt). He also survived being kicked to the moon by Boros in his fully powered state, and going from the Earth to the moon and back with no damage from leaving and entering the Earth's atmosphere (only his clothes were slightly burnt). He even survived the harsh conditions of outer space unscathed during his brief time on the moon. It has been shown that, despite the dangers of holding one's breath in space, Saitama can do so with no negative effects on his body.

Saitama also prefers to dodge or block attacks using edged weapons, rather than take them head-on, as he sometimes does with strikes from fists or blunt objects. However, when he does take them dead-on, the object usually breaks or is destroyed, as was the case of Speed-o'-Sound Sonic's sword. Nyan's superpowered claw scratches, which can cut buildings in half, were also shown to have no effect against Saitama's head.

**Supernatural Accuracy:** Saitama seems to have almost perfect precision since any time he focuses on a target, he always strikes it. He is able to turn a rock into a deadly projectile that hits its target, as shown when he killed Geryuganshoop. He also had no trouble landing directly on Boros's ship from the moon, even though the angle to return to Earth was extremely small, leaving very little room for error.

* **Flight:** By releasing energy from his body through his use of energy projection, Boros was able to propel himself through the air at incredibly high speeds.
* **Proficient Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** Despite having no formal training, Saitama is a proficient and adept hand-to-hand combatant. Thanks to many fights with monsters and villains during his training, he's presumably got a fair amount of fighting experience and developed a good deal of fighting skills. Due to his immeasurable power and boredom, he usually does not care about technique and makes use of flawed basic attacks. His fighting style is, unlike the likes of Garou, Bang, Bomb and Suiryu, quite simple but solid when backed with his absolute strength. He is also able to skillfully combine his superhuman abilities to overwhelm his opponents and even use the environment around him to his benefit.[*citation needed*]
