A message to Saitama scalers.
All due respect to you guys and all, but y'all really have to actually start... powerscaling.
Not narrative-scaling, not setting-scaling, not theme-scaling, actually just fucking powerscaling. That's what this place is for. Can't get a day here without someone unironically claiming that "Saitama would win because he's written to be invincible/he's a gag".
That's not how powerscaling works. We scale power. Whether it is from on-screen feats, or from chain scaling, or statements (yes, the latter two are also important and relevant, which many here also fail to realise), we scale the proven power of a character. Yes, we know Saitama is invincible and will never lose. IN HIS VERSE. Not crossverse. If we are to unquestionably assume a character is literally invincible and without limits to their power just because they got a statement saying they're "boundless/limitless/bottomless/omnipotent/almighty" etc, then sorry, but your Saitama is no one significant in that case either way. Many verses have that.
I get that you maybe imagine how fitting would it be for Saitama's character to just accidentially one-punch Goku, Beerus, Yhwach or someone like that, but this is not powerscaling, this is literally just fanfiction. Just because Saitama can defeat anyone in his verse, and behave all nonchlant and bored while doing so, doesn't mean he can do that against characters from other verses as well.
He is a big fish in a small pond. Not an ocean.
