What is happening in this thread now?!
First I have to explain why Saitama´s power´s origin are the only source of parody. Now people make up lore themselves.Just to be clear: The moment we find out about Saitama having a reasonable origin in terms of powers, this series stops being parody.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
What I'm getting @ with the tie reference. It's still anime.
The powerlevel he's shown during that episode is that of a normal, agile human being, filled with determination (in this universe)
Mumen Rider should've died too, but he didn't. Even though Mumen Rider is, and you seem to agree on this, shit tier without super powers.
And what if Saitama is the only human being that did that training for 3 years straight? Every single day, without exception - ever. Why exactly is that in itself not reasonable in a show were psychs, aliens and other unrealistic shit exist.
@ Mfauli
this show will *never* stop being a parody, and his power origin is not even remotely the only reason why this is a parody. "Just to be clear."
What was Tornado's training, or Angel-dash guy, what is their origin of power? We don't know and that's why it's parody? Come on...
What about the de- and recon-struction of whole cities in mere days, we've seen landscapes getting ruined in which ~50.000-60.000 people lived in mere seconds - no one really cares. It's not like they had the chance to evacuate when that Alien ship came down and unleashed hell on City A(was it?). They are all *dead*.

Yes, I worded it badly. What I meant is: If Saitama´s power had a proper origin, then the whole show could be validly watched as a serious shounen-anime, besides also being a valid parody.

No it *can't* unless you want to make it one of the worst shows ever done.
In each and every episode, people *die*. Not 1... not 2. But we are looking at several hundred of thousands most of the time. And neither Saitamo, nor Genos is even a little concerned by this. If you want to take this show "serious", how would you look at something like that?
It's quite fitting that most monsters in this show seem to refer to humans as ants or other "unworthy" lifeforms
The animations and entertaining setups would make it a great watch even if it was to be taken seriously. See Keijo!!!!!!!! ;P

1) because even the cyborg, master researcher and whateverthefuckthatthingis were also finding that unreasonable, and
2) Saitama has always been one-shotting people.
If the author wanted to show me a weak Saitama, they should have shown him before he was a One-X-Man. Instead, he's always been One Punch* Man.
How can I be like him? What are the secrets to his powers?
-Not happening. This guy's been one-shotting people ever since he wanted to be a hero. That's the joke.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Agreed. Genos even straight up says "Even Master Saitama doesn't know the reason for his own strength."
If they wanted to give a "proper" reason within the context of a parody, they should just explain it with a nebulous "some higher power chose to make him this powerful", breaking the 4th wall a bit by implying god = author. That´s it.

So. I found out today that there are freaking SIX OVAs for this, and a special. It's like 4 full episodes worth of content. So I watched them all.
I can see why they aren't real episodes, because they were pretty boring.
That said, I still liked the last three OVAs just because of the characters involved.
I feel bad for Bang...
I've only watched the one where they play this game with that toy-hammer and the "helmet".
That was fucking amazing
I'm suprised, the first episode of the new season aired already, I can't find any subs (not even horrible subs?)
It's a Hulu exlusive as far as I recall, would have to see if there are any release groups that have tackled those. The raw released has it as episode 00 though, so I think it's a recap.
Episode one seems to be out now...
Where???
Peace.
And it was awesome, the whole 23m50s

Holy shit am I already sad about it being only 1 season
A great episode. It seems like slowly people here and there are starting to realise there's a fairly unknown powerhouse called Saitama out there.
King deserved to lose a controller. What a lousy team player.
Gotta love that King Engine. MVP poker face is his real superpower.
King's an otaku, he's one of us!

"If you find the cyborg that killed your family, don't engage, come let me know.." says the doctor making exceptional cyborgs.
I can't remember if I watched all of those OVAs. Time to revisit.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Yeah, I'm starting to think more and more that ol' Dr. Light there is secretly a villain.
