unless something in his environment drastically changes, it would make no sense for him to suddenly like being unbeatable when he made it clear on numerous occasions that it’s something he deeply despises.
Me, it is him realizing what the STRONGEST HERO actually meant for him. The most meaningful those words could have possibly ever be as they apply to him. Yeah, that. I would go for that.
Now how that comes to light… Is up to how the author builds up the chapters to the very end. I just hope it would be one of the greatest story boards ever. ^^
Looking at the web comic, it is very likely other characters are going to get more face time, like Genos, Flashy Flash, Sonic and Child Emperor, which I think is a good thing. The other characters have always been foils for Saitama, as the webcomic/manga progresses, ONE will have to develop more sophisticated comparisons and contrasts in order to continue that means of story line.
I think ONE will also continue to explore Saitama’s psychology, largely through King, as he has done so far. The entire arc of Saitama versus Garou is a look at psychology, where Saitama’s view is very different from the other S class heroes, because of his invulnerability. When you have no existential threat, it completely changes your psychology, and that is entire premise of OPM. I think ONE will continue to focus on that. OP’s original idea would effectively be the end of the series. If ONE were to want to end the series, something like OP’s suggestion would be the way to do it. But, from the web comic, there is nothing to suggest ONE is going to end the series any time soon.
Yeah I dont think so. My theory is that Saitama will find other things in life to make him happy. after reaching his goal, Saitama didnt have any other goals making his life meaningless, by finding other things outside of battles to focus on maybe he will find meaning again.
Maybe the moral of the story is that you always have to find new goals to focus after you reach your own goal, if not youll end up depressed and just wandering through life without any deeper meaning.
Saitama at the beginning of the story feels like there is no more fun in fighting because of his overwhelming power. Since then we’ve seen him meet people and even make friends. I think that he will rediscover his passion when he realizes that, and that they are worth fighting for.
I want it to end with Saitama finding a different passion. Like he would still probably punch monsters and he would never feel the thrill of battle anymore but that’s okay because he found something else that makes him happy.
To me the whole point of Saitama is showing that being unmatched is incredibly boring, he said so himself. So making it not boring to him would defeat the whole purpose. IMO the only way to give him a happy ending without going back in back on those things is to make him find something else that he likes.
OPM should, after that, focus on how the hero deals with his daily problems, and be a slice of life+action anime, or something like that, along with all the awesome fight scenes of course.
I imagine the story will end with some plot contrivance requiring Saitama to give up his limitless power / Mysterious Being state in order to save the world for some reason. And he’ll be happy, even excited about his return to a life of normal physical limitations… along with his full head of hair, newly regrown.
The idea he’d instead become happy and fulfilled with his de facto godhood runs contrary to most of the themes he represents as a character.
IMO it will be about him realizing that there are other important things in life aside from figuring out whether it’s a good thing or not to be overpowered.
None of that I think.
Saitama is making friends along the way and I think he will find other life goals which will help him and the community instead of being focus only on his boredom.
I dont think even God will stand a chance and he will have to find other things to make his life fun and challenging again. But it wont be battles.
Im expecting the world to get pitted against saitama, either through trickery and/or someone saitama loves getting hurt, and king stops him. Saitama also finds new hobbies.
I quite like this theory as it would be a nice juxtaposition from the beginning, with him despising his own power to appreciating it knowing that without the initial drive to be a hero he wouldn’t have been able to get as far as he did, or even meet the rogues gallery of individuals he knows now.
Funnily enough that would kinda be like what saiki k. does at the end. If you don’t know, basically the protag hates his powers and wants to be normal throughout the series but at the end he starts to appreciate them.
Yo what about that theory of the godlike thing that gave homeless emperor his powers and I believe psychos also visited or witnessed at one point being the main source of all power for everyone and thing that’s ascended the norms of reality getting one punched by saitama which would then either make everyone loose their powers or give saitama that role of the source of power
I hope after he’s done dealing with whoever the final boss ends up being, and assuming this creature is responsible for all the mysterious beings, Saitama will enjoy retirement in world that doesn’t need heroes anymore.
Damn, I see we’re alternating formats. Yesterday was flashy flash in a corridor. Today was saitama’s letter. Will tomorrow’s be flashy flash again?
Finally defeated King in videogame by choosing the most overpowered avatar: Maybe being crazy strong can be fun after all.
unless something in his environment drastically changes, it would make no sense for him to suddenly like being unbeatable when he made it clear on numerous occasions that it’s something he deeply despises.
I rather him come to terms with his unrivaled strength and find other joys in life like King suggested to him.
He can choose an OP fighter in King’s videogame and beat him, eventually saying that
I guess the HA will like…what should we call him?…one..punch..man and than it end like how season 1 opening theme
I’m kinda expecting MP 100 type of ending.
It could end in Saitama realizing that there’s more to life than absolute strength.
I think it’ll end with him finding life worthwhile because of the people in his life
Can’t the mods just ban this fucking format?
Me, it is him realizing what the STRONGEST HERO actually meant for him. The most meaningful those words could have possibly ever be as they apply to him. Yeah, that. I would go for that.

that’s the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard
I want it to end with Saitama finding a different passion. Like he would still probably punch monsters and he would never feel the thrill of battle anymore but that’s okay because he found something else that makes him happy.
To me the whole point of Saitama is showing that being unmatched is incredibly boring, he said so himself. So making it not boring to him would defeat the whole purpose. IMO the only way to give him a happy ending without going back in back on those things is to make him find something else that he likes.
Maybe he will be recognized by his strength
OPM should, after that, focus on how the hero deals with his daily problems, and be a slice of life+action anime, or something like that, along with all the awesome fight scenes of course.
I have a theory about Bofoi bringing out Saitama clones but Saitama has no limit so he’ll one punch “himself”.
Basically saiki kuso psi nan
I imagine the story will end with some plot contrivance requiring Saitama to give up his limitless power / Mysterious Being state in order to save the world for some reason. And he’ll be happy, even excited about his return to a life of normal physical limitations… along with his full head of hair, newly regrown.
The idea he’d instead become happy and fulfilled with his de facto godhood runs contrary to most of the themes he represents as a character.
I expect him to get absolutely decimated but then just get up after being nuked a bunch then do the it’s so hard being so strong kinda stuff
And that’s what i want to see
IMO it will be about him realizing that there are other important things in life aside from figuring out whether it’s a good thing or not to be overpowered.
None of that I think.
Saitama is making friends along the way and I think he will find other life goals which will help him and the community instead of being focus only on his boredom.
I dont think even God will stand a chance and he will have to find other things to make his life fun and challenging again. But it wont be battles.
I could be wrong of course.
Im expecting the world to get pitted against saitama, either through trickery and/or someone saitama loves getting hurt, and king stops him. Saitama also finds new hobbies.
I hope he never meets his match
Dude, obviously he’s gonna lose against King.
Saitama meeting his match feels like the easy way out. To grow he needs to accept his strength.
Would be cool if he found meaning in his power letting him protect those he cares about
I quite like this theory as it would be a nice juxtaposition from the beginning, with him despising his own power to appreciating it knowing that without the initial drive to be a hero he wouldn’t have been able to get as far as he did, or even meet the rogues gallery of individuals he knows now.
That could be a good character arc. Realizing he can do other stuff in life, and that his strength is an amazing help to society
Nice theory
Funnily enough that would kinda be like what saiki k. does at the end. If you don’t know, basically the protag hates his powers and wants to be normal throughout the series but at the end he starts to appreciate them.
That’s definitely it
sounds a little villainous. wouldn’t he only say this if he conquered the universe?
Actually I guess I support your theory OP that will be a better end for our man
He will meet either a Saitama from a different dimension or an evil Saitama
I wish saitama gets to fight saitama from alternate universe who eats the monster cell thinking its free food.
Big spoilers
Yo what about that theory of the godlike thing that gave homeless emperor his powers and I believe psychos also visited or witnessed at one point being the main source of all power for everyone and thing that’s ascended the norms of reality getting one punched by saitama which would then either make everyone loose their powers or give saitama that role of the source of power
Saitama after reading that: “now there’s a guy with free time.”
I hope after he’s done dealing with whoever the final boss ends up being, and assuming this creature is responsible for all the mysterious beings, Saitama will enjoy retirement in world that doesn’t need heroes anymore.
^(And date Suiko.)
It is shown and emphasized when Saitama was with manako and FF on the cave cart that he enjoys things other than fighting
Nah, he’ll definitely find his match.
Maybe webcomic blast will be the end boss and be crazy strong !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?
