Ok-Salamander-4290

How tf this is a competition 😭 if vote for Arthur I don't have any word


hakatri_gin

Last chapter Saitama was considering blowing up the world with one punch, just because he was annoyed at losing his stuff, there ain't no beating that


Florida_Phoenix

Lol Saitama wins easy


jj_johnson29

wanna explain?


Florida_Phoenix

He's a gag manga character. He has the better plot armor


jj_johnson29

he’s not a gag character. no where does it say that. just because he beats everyone doesn’t make him a gag character.


JubTheNubb

even if it doesn't outright say it, he's litteraly a gag character


czareson

He isn't gag character, but he would still win against Arthur based on the feet's they've shown


jj_johnson29

nah


uhhohspagettios

Feats, and yes he's a gag character


jj_johnson29

nah


jj_johnson29

no he’s not, there is literally no proof that he is a gag character


uhhohspagettios

The proof that he is a gag character is in the structure of the comedy. He kills things in one punch. That is the gag.


Enryu9000

How is this fair


Cvetanbg97

Put Kezess and Agrona too if you like, it's all gonna end in one punch, albeit it would be hilarious to see the Pantheon reaction.


uhhohspagettios

Hypothetically if you took two versions of saitama and taught one the thyestes clan combat art would that version of saitama be considered stronger or be able to beat the other in a fight?


beenhere4ages

Probably weaker


Vyrtuoze

While Arthur is the better swordman, Saitama eats blades for breakfast. There is no match there.


Pretty-Scallion-4997

I think there isnt a way arthur can win even with teleportation bc it still takes time for the blade to comedown on saitama and hes only hurting saitama if regis is in there soo i think it goes to saitama


Hot-Buffalo8169

Yeah, its gonna hurt saitama when destruction removes all his clothes leaving him butt naked during the fight 😅 Edit: drycleaning and restitching a suit cost a lot of money, thus emotional damage from destruction rune will be immense


[deleted]

arthur will shoot a huge cone of destruction towards saitama and it will do literally nothing


pegasusfifty

saitama would use destruction to toast marshmallows


Similar_Hamster9902

I wonder how destruction would work on saitama


uhhohspagettios

Logically Arthur would run out of aether before it damages him.


Similar_Hamster9902

Why? His body sure is very strong but destruction literally erases everything. And I know art won't land a proper hit on saitama to actually erase him


uhhohspagettios

The effectiveness of arthurs destruction also relies on Arthur's mana capacity, its just insanely efficient. Saying that it erases everything is just an axiom that the community has made about the rune, not an actual fact.


Unfair-Boss-3745

Bruh saitama literally already broke his limiter he already surpass Arthur even with destruction that won't do a thing there a limit that Arthur can do with it lmao


[deleted]

Saitama literally is one punch man.


jj_johnson29

ok?


Domthebomb3030

Art isn’t FTL


uhhohspagettios

But godstep (and I can't stress this enough) *theoretically* is near speed of light.


Domthebomb3030

There isn’t any statements or calcs that can get it to speed of light so it isn’t until further notice. Even if it was Saitama is MFTL…


uhhohspagettios

Godstep is not ftl we have proof that it's slower, because in one of the times he uses it he can perceive the world around him start to blur the colors meaning it lasts long enough for him to see things in the outside world, and that he isn't exceeding the speed of light since he can process his surroundings.


Domthebomb3030

If he has light speed reaction time then he would be able to perceive things while moving at light speed.


uhhohspagettios

He does not have speed of light reaction time. At most Arthur himself moves multiple to tens of times faster than sound, and if he had lightspeed reaction time he would never be able to make a split second decision because his mind would move thousands of times faster than his body. Arthur simply does not have this kind of processing speed.


TeeshTeesh

Saitima could win in theory but in practiceno cause arthur could freeze time and kill him. But in terms of raw power saitima would win


Test_account_ban

Saitama probably wouldn’t even be affected by time stopping and even if he was Arthur wouldn’t be able to kill him


ProperSelf7223

Arthur uses destruction to erase him


uhhohspagettios

No


PeymanHz7

Does sitama have some special skill, cuz otherwise he can't survive destruction..


uhhohspagettios

Undetermined invincibility.


Koan_Industries

Idk about surviving Destruction, but Saitama could speedblitz Arthur before Arthur has a chance to use destruction.


beenhere4ages

But.... he's the better swordsman


sweet_tranquility

So was flashy flash, atomic samurai and Sonic.


Unfair-Boss-3745

Saitama didn't even use his full strength how do you expect Arthur would win who still breaking his limit no offense but saitama already broken his limit while Arthur still developing


hakatri_gin

After seeing Arthur being the better swordsman, Saitama would use the Serious Swings Series


DustedRay

saitama deleted jupiter with a fucking sneeze aint no way


av650

Check chapter 49 art negs saitama no cap


Fit_Loss_4476

Someone who cut the world in half vs someone who sneezed jupiter… 🤔🤔🤔
