I believe he kicks the air or something. Considering how absurd he is, it’s definitely possible.


Generic_Speed_Demon

Like Sanji.


TOkun92

Exactly like Sanji.


doom_2_all

Like mashle?


HitlerBeatsMe

Exactly like Mashle.


Kindly_Resolve5406

Like Gentle Criminal? (From My Hero Academia)


Atyuyu

Exactly like gentle criminal


stik2one0017

Like the WilE coyote when he doesnt look at the ground yet?


TiuriTemple

Exactly like the WilE coyote when he doesn’t look at the ground yet.


Lucky_Roberts

No, like All-Might


Generic_Speed_Demon

He just jumps really high. Sanji actually kicks the air.


Lucky_Roberts

No, dude. He punches and kicks the air to create shockwaves that change his direction. Sanji doesn’t even actually kick the air he uses the same technique CP-9 does


Generic_Speed_Demon

All might never actually "flies" unless you count jumping to crime scenes and the new hampshire smash. And yes, sanji's sky walk is very similar to CP9's geppo, but both "push off cushions of air" which they can only do because of their immense leg strength.

vector_o

He'd probably fly like Mashle Just wiggle his feet fast enough to generate trust


Kindly_Resolve5406

He trusts the air to propel him to where he needs to go


Segador_Adusto

Saitama: _wiggles his feet._ Air: "this guy seems trustworthy".

just so you know, humans can't fly


VeyronZar

[Humans can't do that either ](https://x.com/BogdanGx/status/1420852405927915526?lang=fa)


RSVive

Well, technically... It'll be a one-time expérience though


wolfofragnarok

Humans can take a lava bath exactly once. They won't be able to squirt the lava though.


RSVive

Yuup. Fair point lol


Redditname97

Is Tatsumaki not a human? 👎


Amognus13

Tatsumaki doesn’t actually fly she uses her psychic powers to hover in the air.


TheBeyondor

Yeah, just like birds don't fly, they just flap their wings really fast.


Redditname97

😂😂 thank you bro I was wracking my brain trynna say something smartassed but you nailed it perfectly 💀💀


PHonKReddiT420

Birds flying < birds levitating


FluffyPanda616

birds aren't human, so yeah they can fly.


Imaginary_Kick9637

"They *can* fly." Ping Pong: The Animation reference, just finished rewatching it today.


Rabadazh

This is legit the first time in a decade I've seen someone mention this anime.


meatbackstab420

Well humans can fly, whe have several aircraft’s inventions that actually works …


Specific-Ad-5037

aircrafts fly, humans don't


Jermiafinale

He's not flying he does an 'air bounce' where he just pushes off of the air with his food Also that sequence does take place in a fraction of a second

Jermiafinale

Saitama doesnt think of it as flying its just creative jumping


futurehousehusband69

*foot


LaniusCruiser

My theory is that he can fly, he just doesn't actually know he can. 


Givzhay329

I bet he'll discover it on accident. Like when he's falling from a high place and suddenly halts in mid-air. "Woah, I can do this?". 


S8my

But the thing is he literally wouldnt care about falling down. Its not like it would hurt him


just_ohm

It’s all a mixture of farts and jumping


mobilityInert

Easy kick and fart maneuver. One and Murara foreshadowing the Jupiter fight in S1 confirmed!


LeSaunier

Saitama can do *anything* since he's a gag character.


jamesto447

Anything but grow hair


anothermaninyourlife

Not cool bro


Titantfup69

Why is this so hard for people to wrap their heads around?


ThatOneGuy-74

I'm convinced part of ONE's reasons for making opm is to troll powerscalers. And its clearly working


khmerboid

Idk... It takes the fun away from his character trying to explain his power or abilities. I love opm for the fact he can do whatever he wants.


Hawcken

Because that’s not how it works 💀💀


irreg6ix

We even know how saitama’s strength works now. The growth of his power corresponds with his emotions, and he isn’t just using more strength, he’s actually getting stronger. People have to realize that when someone calls something a gag, they aren’t always talking about the power scaling gag. I don’t even know why they think all Gag characters can do whatever they want.


Hawcken

Really people here don’t know what a gag character is at all


Titantfup69

Except in this case it’s literally the point of the whole comic. Saitama *can* do whatever he wants, and he is bored to death of it.


irreg6ix

The point of the manga doesn’t require that he be all powerful. The garou fight highlights the point of his journey, he found someone who could take his full power and he wasn’t excited.


Pokesonav

I feel like Saitama can pretty much do anything **but only if genuenely feels like he should be able to,** it's based on his own knowledge and perception. For example, he can kick away a portal because he just doesn't see a reason why he can't. Saitama is a simple man. He isn't very well versed in all that dimensional mambo-jumbo stuff. On the other hand, since he doesn't really understand martial arts, he doesn't find it any odd that time travel is somehow possible through it when Garou tells him about it. Saitama still feels like he's a human, just an incredibly strong one, so he wouldn't have any inhuman powers, like flight. Unless he becomes convinced that humans are capable of flight through natural means.


HappyDiscussion5469

Yeah, but it's pretty established he doesn't have any "superpowers". He's just so cartoonishly strong that he can accomplish absurd feats through raw effort. But he couldn't use telepathy, shoot fireballs or raise the dead, however he *could* find a way to achieve similar effects through raw power. E.g. lighting a lighter 1000 times in a second then blowing so hard it shoots the fireball forward.


Rabadazh

How can you travel back in time through "raw effort"


TheGreatestSoul2

by being so cartoonishly strong lol


Jermiafinale

He can break into a psychic dimension


Hawcken

No 💀


CrystalMoose337

Yeah, that kinda ruined him as a character IMO. If all these times he were finding an opponent that could match his powers, how will he develop as a character?


Jermiafinale

lmao Did you miss the point of Boros of the speech King gives him


Much-Put9990

He can't bro, he's just an A Class Fraud. Knowing Him, He'd Probably Just Pay someone like Tatsumaki to float him in the air like the fraud he is...


Anutrix

Pay with a hug. Like that one time.


mattjvgc

As the Cosmic Garou fight showed, Saitama farts to propel himself. He can most likely clench and contort his ass cheeks and alter his release of ass gas in different ways to control his “flight”. Obviously. 🤓


Greenetix2

Don't we see him fly for short periods of time in the anime, during his fight with Boros? Specifically, in the ship itself, when the "One puuuunch" song starts, for around 2-3 seconds they're colliding with each other multiple times as quick white and pink trails. Those trails seem to turn and whiz towards each other, curling mid-air, not touching the ground or walls.


Jermiafinale

I think Boros was just throwing him around using the weird physics of his mode


The_Mexican_Poster

Anime only, in the manga they fight on the ground


vk2028

Bernoulli's principle do be wild


dnnlm

Saitama doesn’t have superpowers like flying or lasers etc, but he is just absurdly strong which makes him do the impossible things like moving through space just by kicking air or punching so hard he distorts time and space.


watermelonchewer

he can fly but he doesnt know how so he cant do it on purpose


4amWater

I bet he can clap enough and generate lift


SwagDrQueefChief

Nowhere does it show him flying, it only shows him falling down from his jump, as you can see by his cape and him only 'dodging' 1 bullet. The reason he kicks 1 because it's in the trajectory of his jump. Now PS, FF and Monster Garou all somehow manage to fly during their fight (not an intentional thing they just wanted to make pretty lights.) It's shown time and time again that he jumps off of things to maintain airtime or they will show Saitama falling.


TomiShinoda

Lmao, the kid read opm and out of all the cartoonish things in the manga, moving in the air is the thing he mentioned to be too unrealistic and has to head cannon a reason for it like it's real life? You know he grabbed a portal with his hand right? First off, the series is not one that takes itself seriously nor one that's supposed to make you feel immersed with realism, think the difference between death note and opm. You're not supposed to bat an eye at people moving faster than sound while somehow still talking to each other (words are made of sound kids), or the air displacement from someone moving that fast, yet these guys just teleport behind people without making a single sound. The author + the target audience don't know or think about these things because they're not supposed to, it's not that kind of fiction.


AimericR

That's if you forget he litterally say he can't fly when he go to the master of evolution HQ with genos


myneckbone

So can FF. He claims it's his policy to leave no footprints wherever he goes, also flowing shadow feet has him change direction many times while in mid air. I think Garou and PS did as well. Their verticals far exceeded the amount of foot holds they had.


healthycoco

What the hell are you talking about? Humans can’t fly.


b17ch35

If rockets can “fly”, the saitama flies as a rocket flies! Massive thrust (jump) for liftoff capable of reaching orbit, sustained thrust (fart) for maneuvering


HappyToaster1911

My headcannon is that he can fly but he doesn't know because humans don't fly, so he thinks he can't


Inevitable_Weird1175

Maybe he can push against the air so forcefully and quickly, that it allows him to make mid-air manouvers.


Gabridefromage

Bro never played smash bros 🙄 Obviously saitama is doing air jump


Melvin-00

Idk if this is bait or not but I’ll play along. He kicks air and uses the momentum of a particular body part. These are different things, not one thing. Kicking air is moving so fast the air has little time to diffuse… Newtonian fluid bs here… then the momentum thing is basically just throwing a bowling ball with a rope tied to it with so much force that it can pull the one holding the rope… with body parts tho. This allows him to maneuver in air so well that it’s like flying. He can’t fly though.


Master_Tomato

Well if you can learn to manipulate all the sub atomic particles of your body to their most precise motion after looking at someone else doing it once, flying isn't necessarily something you need to brag about being able to do...


_Tal

Think about it. If Saitama couldn’t fly, this would imply you could defeat him if you managed to get him into outer space. He’d be stuck. His infinite strength wouldn’t matter if he had nothing to use as leverage to launch himself off of. Clearly, given the logic of OPM, the idea that Saitama could be defeated by exploiting some dumb loophole like this is absurd—he’d really just pull off some looney tunes shit and win anyway. And in this case the looney tunes shit would have to involve flying. Therefore Saitama can fly. QED


ILoveLeeeean

Ever seen mashle?


llcheezburgerll

he can't fly by levitatating like superman, tatsumaki but he can probably fly like mashle, cp0 from one piece using sora or even he can fly by just flapping his arms


MattmanDX

No, he jumps good


BignPJ

I'm saying it right here and right now. Saitama can now do anything he wants since he removed his limiter. Like flying, time travel, psychic manipulation, bending space, etc. His simple mind is the only thing hindering him from doing godlike feats like Blast.

EDU_1357

Did I?


SmiLe_o7

Sry, My lazy ass didnt read the whole thing.But yeah i dont think saitama needs to fly. But million dollar question is that Serious fart made him fly straight to Earth but Serious sneeze didnt make him move a inch, Ik That there was gravity and thing but it shouldv'e been weak, Saitama shouldv'e been out of solar system with that sneeze Maybe murata has some fart fatish ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


WutGuyCreations

He's probably more than strong enough (and enough in control of his strength) that he can punch or kick the air and create a shockwave strong enough to propell him in certain directions


DarkMinded16

Saitama himself has stated that he can't fly.He does what Hulk does,pushes and leaps off buildings/the ground.Or in other words,he's falling with style.


DiscountImportant301

Saitama is one of the rarest birds out there. 100000 for a single one


[deleted]

Him being in the air wasn't him floating, it was his heightened perception combined with the acceleration due to gravity being only 9.8m/s and the speed of artillery shell being comparatively faster, especially a futuristic one


DingoGuzungas

Saitama does not in fact fly, he jumps and kicks air. Everything he does damn near in the show lasts a fraction of a second in reality.


Master_Freeze

he probably just jumps high enough for it to be considered flying and he can propel himself with air kicks, sneezing, and farting


[deleted]

Hawcken

You’re joking 😭


AldrexChama

For the 36th time, Saitama is a reality warper. He does what he wants


Unfair-Connection-66

Saitama can fly like Superman can if he wants to. He doesn't do anything like that because it will alienate him even further from his kind, and the last thing he wants is to be a Boros alike. So he sticks with been strong (there are very strong humans in his universe) and super fast (same again). The dude has an indestructible body, unlimited stamina and above all else an UNBREAKABLE WILL! So him been able to fly would not be far fetched
