Saitama: Oooh look at meeee, I beat someone who can destroy a whoooole planet!
Popeye: *rearranges entire constellations with a punch*
Honestly I've been thinking about this and Saitama hard counters Popeyes. Toon force characters work on what is funny. The whole point of saitama is to effortlessly beat characters that power up. Popeye getting trounced and then eating spinach to beat saitama is generic and bland. Popeye getting one punched, eating spinach, powering up and flexing his increased muscles only to get one punched again is funny. Saitama wins.

Theyre both supposed to be invincible but I like Saitama more so hes stronger
Horse shit
Saitama is just the strongest ant on his hill. He doesnt have some magical durability ignoring fists. Hes Donkey Kong in the RWBY universe.
Saitamad be wailing on Popeye to no effect like Hercule wailing on Cell.
The author is dead in VS, and in interpreting any work of fiction in any way. Saitama has never fought a solar system buster capable of regenerating from literal, actual nothingness (something Boros failed to do), therefore he cant.

lmao do you have any self-awareness? You're arguing toon physics seriously. In popeye regular non powered characters survive being punted to the moon, anvils are never dangerous, the sun can be pulled to earth and it doesn't destroy earth because at that moment, the sun is the size of a car.
It's not that the characters themselves are strong, it's that their universe is shit.
One punch man haters continue to miss the point and try to objectify things with power levels. More at 5 minutes from now.
characters are strong. Why does comedic durability only count for Saitama?
If a character is powerful, thats that. Doesnt matter why. Like I said, the author is dead. Even if a character were to perform a superhuman feat because an author overestimates what a peak human is capable of, that wouldnt take the strength away from the character.
Both seem to have limitless pover, BUT popey seems to also have reality changin powers. He can change living things to mindless things, and afaik he punched King Kong type monster so that it turned into three smaller gorillas.
Saitama only fights weak opponents and his creator says his opponents are city busters at best. Popeye rearranges solar systems and beats up his own animator.

Genos: Popeye-sama, I have come to you to learn where you get your strength from. Saitama-sama gave me this bullshit story about doing 100 push ups, sit ups, squats, and running 10 KM every day for his strength, so I come to you for real answers.
Popeye: *shrug* I just eat spinach
Genos: ....
Is it safe to say they are both stronger than Goku?
OK, seriously. Is there some new Popeye media that I'm not aware of? Where are you guys watching all this Popeye stuff? Most of you blank at the mention of even obscure 80s shows, and now suddenly everyone is watching Popeye?
