| Saitama and most of the important characters of the series |
Background Information
An ongoing webcomic from ONE with a rather ''unique'' art but a great read regardless.
It has since been picked up by Yusuke Murata (the author of Eyeshield 21) and he publishes a remake canon manga version of the series
There is also an anime series which is produced by Madhouse and is just excellent.
To summarize: ONE and Murata know how to make a series amazing, easily.
The setting is fictional Japan, though it has different cities and what not. The world is filled with various kinds of monsters ("Mysterious Beings") who terrorize the world, and against them is the Heroes Association, which has a staff of "professional" heroes whose job it is to take care of the monsters and various disasters.
The main protagonist, Saitama, is an overwhelmingly powerful (by far the strongest in his verse) former salary man (how he obtained his strength remains a mystery) who, at the beginning of the story, is a hobby hero, until he joins the Hero Association down the line.
The story follows Saitama in his hero career, as he faces off (and one shots) different kinds of Mysterious Beings, meets friends (his disciple Genos), a self-proclaimed nemesis (Sonic) and so on.
The webcomic, the manga and the anime are canon to the series.
Guide to Disaster level Monsters:
- God level: Threat to humanity.
- Dragon level: Threat to many cities.
- Demon level: Threat to a whole city.
- Tiger level: Threat to an unknown number of human lives.
- Wolf level: A being that might pose as a threat.
Standing in the Battledome
Saitama himself is hard to quantify given that he deals with everything with zero difficulty, but he has (casual) feats which give him at least continent level+ destructive capacity and durability, coupled with sub-relativistic speeds.
Not to mention that Saitama is the true top tier, so far.
The verse also has many characters with at least city level+/island level stats and hypersonic/massively hypersonic+ speeds.
There are even a few characters with continent level+ stats and sub-relativistic speeds like Golden Sperm, Tatsumaki, Boros and Monster Garou.
However, there is a notable lack of hax (very few have special abilities), as almost everyone uses some form of physical combat.
Saitama has also garnered a fairly large fanbase.
Don't be surprised if you see many ridiculous and dubious claims about his strength.
As a verse they are stronger than the likes of Yu Yu Hakusho and RAVE.
