Is it meant to signify something supernatural? Or does it just symbolize determination like it does in Hajime No Ippo?

It's meant to troll people into theorizing about Saitama's powers.
Peace.
They said it's like there's a God in that body. Said God might survive, but the body won't.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Probably this.
I also jumped on the one-punch-man bandwagon. it's been a while since I watched an anime...
first off: I feel that some scenes were much batter paced in the manga, mostly concerning the meteor and the robot, but also speed of sound sonic jumping around saitama. and that's it for mange comparisons.
I don't understand the need to ask about Saitama source of powers, it's akin to asking how can a cyborg exist given the current state of technology, how can the subterrean people live unnoticed in the bottom of the earth and how can a battle suit destroy a building without destroying the user as well. it's anime magic. but if you really want a 'semi-plausible' explanation - he got monster ooze inside his system when fighting the crab monster. EOF.
looking forward to watch the next episodes.
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Pretty sure he was already a monster when he fought the crab thing. He just hadn't polished his skills (and scalp) yet by the gruesome muscle training regimen and thus wasn't aware of it himself.
I don't think he was anything more than a normal human a that point.
But that's not what I was trying to convey.
I meant to say that if you're bothered by the lack of justification for his powers, there are plenty of ways to explain them, and they are just as plausible (and implausible) as 'standard' shonen explanations.
Why are 'gamma radiation', 'super training at a dojo', 'cyborg parts', 'alien origins' and 'the spirit of god' good explanations while 'dedication to strength training' isn't?
it's the same thing you have with comic books super heroes. how does a super alien like Superman and the martian manhunter fit in a universe with a guy shooting arrows at petty criminals? Beast from X-man is much closer to regular joe human mutant hater than to super god of magnetism magneto.
It's either twisting the story and forcing it to to appear to make sense (it still won't, but you'll have to look for the stiches), or just accepting the premise and enjoy the story they're trying to tell.
I'm not against the whole "take what you see" approach, as that's how I'm going about it anyway... but Saitama's been pretty absurd from the beginning. I don't think gutting a giant grab with a tie comes under something normal people can do.
He's a genetic freak who didn't know he was born to be a hero.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It's like he was awesome at 0, then exponentially grew due to pushups.
Peace.
I think I just realized the parody of this.
It's like Rock Lee kicking fucking trees day and night, and as a result being able to jump off walls and ceilings. Literally just laughed out loud as I realized this.
I misread your post as this and LOLd.
Peace.
it made him...
sturdy.
episode 8 is out
-----------------------
ok, so everybody´s gonna jump at me again for writing this, buuut: this episode really made me YET AGAIN hate that this is a shounen parody instead of a serious shounen-series. When Puri Puri Prisoner "transformed" and used his angel attack on the seaking, despite being naked, the aesthetic of the imagery, those angel wings, combined with the fantastic music, reminded me of the best days during Hunter X Hunter´s chimera arc. THat was an awesome scene. And it has me wishing for this to be a serious anime :/
Also, Amai Mask makes me sad that we never got a sequel for Death Note. Dat Light seiyuu :>
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Yeah but it's not serious, and it is a parody. No way can a flamboyant naked bro named "puri puri prisoner" be serious.
Hmm, so we got our first villain to make it through a whole episode without getting exploded.
Just because Saitama has terrible luck.
I wonder if Sonic could cut through Aquaking's skin. If he could, he'd be pretty imba, at least a top S ranker stronger than Genos. His abilities sort of limit what he can do though. No AOE, flight, etc.
Peace.
As said, he just didn't cross Saitama's path yet...
Very boring episode.
Pretty obvious as it was there to show how useless anything below top tier S rank heroes are...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
What? They aren't useless. It just depends on the threat. Who knows how many lives are saved from normal criminals by those B rank and below.
Peace.
It seemed to also show that the better side of the less than S class heroes in that the few lower ranked ones still tried to protect the citizens in the shelter; even the one that soiled himself. Of course, they were there in the first place because they tried to evacuate so it could be argued they were only fighting in self defense. I found the rest of the battles very exciting and at least somewhat interesting.
He only has speed. It was made very evident in this fight. I kind of doubt a few ninja tools would change all that much in a shounen anime where flesh tends to be stronger than steel. With that speed Sonic is basically a perfect anti-human force, but he simply couldn't get through the skin and muscle of a real monster. He should realise his limits. But then again he's in a real slump after getting beaten by a hero, even if he's still acting all cocky.
