Goku VS Saitama (Dragon Ball VS One Punch Man) | DEATH BATTLE! — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:05Goku versus Saitama, the hero of Dragon
- 0:09Ball versus THE ONE PUNCH MAN HIMSELF.
- 0:11BUT THIS ain't the type of battle where
- 0:13the winner just needs a bigger number.
- 0:15This is a battle of limits. The warrior
- 0:17who can break any limit against the
- 0:19superhero who has no limits at all. Is
- 0:21Goku too strong for Saitama? Or can the
- 0:24Cape Baldi overtake his power level and
- 0:26WIN WITH ONE PUNCH? HE'S Whiz and I'm
- 0:29Boomstick. And it's our job to analyze
- 0:31their weapons, armor, and skills to find
- 0:33out who would win a death battle.
- 0:39Sunday, SUNDAY, SUNDAY, IT'S THE WORLD
- 0:41MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT. SEE THE
- 0:43GREATEST FIGHTERS AROUND THE GLOBE.
- 0:45Flying dinosaurs, naked women, and that
- 0:48guy blew up the moon. As the sun set,
- 0:51only two combatants remained. The sagely
- 0:54Jackie Chun and the monkey kid, Son
- 0:56Goku. AND GOKU LOST. THE OLD MAN KICKED
- 1:00HIM IN THE FACE. WHAT THE HELL, MASTER
- 1:02ROSHI? I mean, uh, Jackie. But the young
- 1:05Goku earned a lesson far greater than
- 1:07any victory. No matter how strong you
- 1:09are, there's always someone stronger.
- 1:11And he took that personally. As in, the
- 1:14greatest opponent he trained to beat
- 1:16every single day was himself. Right.
- 1:19Even with Roshi's lesson, true
- 1:20competition [music] was pretty rare.
- 1:22This kid single-handedly dismantled the
- 1:24entire Red Ribbon army on his own. An
- 1:27enormous criminal military operation no
- 1:29nation could defeat. I bet Roshi just
- 1:31had a chip on his shoulder from when he
- 1:33took 50 years to make his special
- 1:35technique, but Goku got it in like 5
- 1:37seconds. THE KAMEHAMEHA.
- 1:40THE Kamehameha wave is Goku's signature
- 1:43move. Even though basically everyone
- 1:45else in Dragon Ball [music] also knows
- 1:46it, it's more like the building block to
- 1:48all Super Laser beams. Goku charges his
- 1:51key in one place before blasting it out
- 1:53all at once. It's impressive how Goku
- 1:56learned it so quickly. In fact, his
- 1:58ability to rapidly learn and copy moves
- 2:00would come in handy [music] when
- 2:01learning new techniques from his long
- 2:03list of masters. Two old dudes, a
- 2:06talking cat, Jolly Green Wrinkles, a
- 2:08blue gremlin who taught him the spirit
- 2:10bomb, some aliens who taught him how to
- 2:11teleport, and even a couple angels.
- 2:13Where the hell is he finding these guys?
- 2:16But not just from them. Goku made a
- 2:17habit of copying techniques from his
- 2:19rivals. The solar flare from Tien, the
- 2:22destru from Krillin, the after image
- 2:25from Jackie Chan. Even his flight
- 2:27[music] came not from his own turtle
- 2:28school of martial arts, but from the
- 2:30rival crane school, Boomstick. Can you
- 2:33name even one technique that Goku came
- 2:35up with on his own?
- 2:38Exactly. Despite this, Goku is not
- 2:40considered a copycat fighter because he
- 2:43doesn't stop at just copying techniques.
- 2:46He makes them his own. To him, a
- 2:48technique is a challenge in and of
- 2:50itself. Something to learn, improve, and
- 2:52take to new heights. Oh, the dragon
- 2:54fist. What? He came up with the dragon
- 2:57fist. It's like the same idea as the
- 2:59kamihame ha. Put all your energy in one
- 3:01place and all that, BUT IT'S A BIG
- 3:02FREAKING PUNCH AND A DRAGON. It's not
- 3:05really canon. Ah, whatever. It's cool as
- 3:08hell. Also, there was that one time he
- 3:11became a really big blue see-through
- 3:12person. Nobody else did that, I'm pretty
- 3:14sure. Okay, I was being facitious, but
- 3:17my point is Goku often takes the concept
- 3:19of a technique and turns it into
- 3:21something else. Either through his own
- 3:23training or on the fly to counter an
- 3:25opponent. Goku is always growing, always
- 3:27evolving. One-handed Kamehameha check.
- 3:30BENDING IT MIDAIR, CHECK. SHOOTING TWO
- 3:32AT ONCE, DOUBLE CHECK. FIRING IT FROM
- 3:34HIS FEET TO BECOME a living rocket, oh
- 3:36yeah, that's a check. This desire to
- 3:38always evolve drives everything that
- 3:40Goku does. Even when he won the World
- 3:42Martial Arts Tournament, officially
- 3:44becoming the greatest martial artists in
- 3:46the world, he wasn't done finding foes
- 3:48stronger than him. You know WHAT THAT
- 3:50MEANS? TIME FOR ALIENS. He's a Saiyan, a
- 3:53warrior people who are basically born
- 3:54and bred to fight forever. A Saiyan's
- 3:56body even stops aging for most of their
- 3:59life just so they can get as many licks
- 4:00in as possible before they start bruning
- 4:02up. But Goku didn't start with much of
- 4:04an advantage. Despite being born on a
- 4:06planet with 10 times Earth's gravity, he
- 4:08only had a power level of two. right in
- 4:11line with normal humans who are in the
- 4:13low single digits. Even this random
- 4:15farmer with no known fighting experience
- 4:16had a power level of five, potentially
- 4:19including the shotgun. So Goku was a
- 4:21lowclass Saiyan, basically cannon foder.
- 4:24But with enough determination, even a
- 4:26popper, can take down a prince of all
- 4:28Saiyans. Though to be fair, Goku's
- 4:30Saiyan heritage does give him one
- 4:32significant boost. When humans [music]
- 4:33exercise, we tear our muscles
- 4:35microscopically in a way that they might
- 4:37feel stronger. But sayans take this to a
- 4:39whole new level cuz every TIME THEY
- 4:41ALMOST DIE, THEY GET A HUGE POWER boost
- 4:44and those gains are permanent. The
- 4:46implications of this ability to break
- 4:47the limits of possibility are
- 4:49mindblowing, but they sort of stopped
- 4:51talking about it after the Frieza arc,
- 4:53so yes, we will too. Goku has a bunch of
- 4:55other ways to boost his power, like the
- 4:57Kaio-Ken, which can MULTIPLY HIS KEY 10,
- 5:0020, EVEN 100 times, all in the blink of
- 5:02an eye. Never mind how if he overdo it,
- 5:05he dies. Hey, hasn't happened yet. There
- 5:07is seemingly no limit how much physical
- 5:09suffering Goku is willing to endure if
- 5:11it means victory. Like when all hope
- 5:14seemed lost against Frieza and he tapped
- 5:16into his ancestral [music] rage,
- 5:18becoming the ultimate warrior of legend,
- 5:21the Super Saiyan. Oh, chills. Super
- 5:24Saiyan isn't just one transformation,
- 5:25but several, stacking to amplify his
- 5:28power many, many times over and
- 5:29culminating in the newly canonized SUPER
- 5:32SAIYAN 4, complete with RED FUR AND
- 5:35EYESHADOW. NATURALLY, the next step in
- 5:37Power Creep was challenging a literal
- 5:38god of destruction by achieving the
- 5:40level of Super Saiyan God. Funny, he
- 5:43actually turned down being a god back in
- 5:45the day cuz he thought it'd be boring.
- 5:47Well, with his new GOD KEY, GOKU CAN
- 5:49IMMOBILIZE FOES, heal himself,
- 5:51annihilate someone from existence with a
- 5:53Kai, or even shatter his whole universe.
- 5:57It's even better than it sounds. In
- 5:58Dragon Ball, Goku lives in universe 7, a
- 6:01massive cosmic superructure over a
- 6:03thousand times larger than our own
- 6:05universe. Goku almost destroyed that the
- 6:08very first time he went god mode. He's
- 6:10strong enough to break out of Hit's time
- 6:12[music] skip, fast enough to block
- 6:14attacks from infinite Zamasu, skilled
- 6:16enough to upgrade his red god form to
- 6:18punk blue, and powerful enough to match
- 6:20Jiren when they fought in the null
- 6:22realm. Basically, A DIMENSION SO BIG AND
- 6:24empty that anyone in it can go all out
- 6:26without wrecking it. AND JIREN SHOOK THE
- 6:29WHOLE DAMN PLACE JUST BY POWERING UP.
- 6:31AND THAT IS when Goku reached his peak
- 6:33[music] potential. The final stage of
- 6:36everything he'd been working towards,
- 6:38even since he was a little kid. Roshi
- 6:40and King Kai trained Goku to perfect not
- 6:42just his body, but his spirit. Corin
- 6:44trained him to predict his opponent,
- 6:46perfecting his movement. Kami trained
- 6:48him to steal his mind, to move like
- 6:50lightning. Goku himself perfected Super
- 6:52Saiyan by stealing the form's fury. And
- 6:55finally, [music] Whis trained him to use
- 6:56that perfected stillness to react
- 6:58subconsciously to any attack [music]
- 7:00thrown his way. This is Ultra Instinct.
- 7:04Ultra Instinct is in many ways [music]
- 7:06the pinnacle of Goku's fighting style.
- 7:08It's like he took Bruce Lee's be like
- 7:11water idea and supercharged it. Nobody
- 7:13can touch the guy. But Ultra Instinct
- 7:15has even more meaning to Goku. His
- 7:17greatest power honed through decades of
- 7:19experience and struggle is that he'll
- 7:21always find a way to break his own
- 7:23[music] limits. And the beauty of Ultra
- 7:25Instinct is that while it is its own
- 7:26form, Goku is learning to apply it to
- 7:29every other form he has. The
- 7:31possibilities of what he can achieve are
- 7:33endless. With Ultra Instinct mastered,
- 7:36GOKU IS THE strongest fighter in the
- 7:38multiverse. Well, if the threats ahead
- 7:39are any indication, he will always heed
- 7:42Roshi's early advice. He knows [music]
- 7:43there will always be someone stronger
- 7:45than him, a challenge ahead for him to
- 7:47surpass. Oh, and he can't wait. Nothing,
- 7:50not even death itself, will stop Son
- 7:53Goku, from getting stronger.
- 7:59We're almost to the battle, but give me
- 8:0015 seconds to pitch our D and D and
- 8:02Blood on the clock tower channel,
- 8:03Nightly Brew. We have a brand new horror
- 8:06series, Blackpine, all about weird
- 8:08Halloween mysteries in a small town,
- 8:09lots of jokes, and also drama. Episode 1
- 8:12airs today, right after this death
- 8:14battle, and we'll follow that up with Dn
- 8:17D in space. So, check out the nightly
- 8:20brew linked below. But now, let's get
- 8:22back to the death battle.
- 8:27LOOK UP IN THE SKY. IT'S A BIRD. IT'S A
- 8:30PLANE. NO, it's Cape Baldi. Nobody's
- 8:34favorite superhero. Well, that's not
- 8:36entirely true. While his bald dome and
- 8:38janitorial outfit might not inspire the
- 8:40masses, those who know Saitama know he's
- 8:44the one punch man. As is the man who can
- 8:46beat ANY OPPONENT IN ONE PUNCH. YEAH,
- 8:50OBVIOUSLY. OKAY. OKAY. But did you know
- 8:52this GUY CAN GET SO strong so fast that
- 8:55it's impossible for anyone to ever beat
- 8:58him? LIKE ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. LET'S NOT
- 9:01get ahead of ourselves. Stuck in the
- 9:03cycle of a Japanese salary man, Saitama
- 9:05[music] rediscovered his passion for
- 9:07life after standing up to one of the
- 9:09many monsters plaguing his city. So he
- 9:11devoted his life to getting stronger
- 9:13with a brutal training regimen of 100
- 9:16push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, AND
- 9:2010 KM OF RUNNING. That's not too brutal.
- 9:23It's basically standard for military
- 9:24every single day. Ah, yeah, that's not
- 9:28healthy. He ignored the pain from his
- 9:30screaming muscles for so long that his
- 9:32hair fell out. But it paid off when HE
- 9:34BECAME THE STRONGEST MAN ALIVE. GROWING
- 9:37SO STRONG, so fast that he could beat
- 9:39himself from the day before. It's like a
- 9:42shownen power fantasy come to life.
- 9:44Except the rest of the world could not
- 9:47keep up. And now Saitama can beat every
- 9:50living thing with just one punch. A
- 9:53power fantasy turned existential
- 9:55nightmare. Because with nothing strong
- 9:57enough to give Saitama a challenge,
- 9:59there's nothing pushing him to keep
- 10:00getting stronger. His hero's journey was
- 10:02complete before it had even begun. In
- 10:05his quest for a quest, Saitama has
- 10:08learned to create shock waves with his
- 10:09punches. Punch in several directions at
- 10:12once and survive the icy, cold, heavily
- 10:14irradiated vacuum of space simply by
- 10:17holding his breath. Yeah, when the alien
- 10:19warlord Boros kicked Saitama ALL THE WAY
- 10:21TO THE FREAKING MOON, NO PROBLEM. He
- 10:24just popped back in a couple seconds,
- 10:26just in time to punch away Boros's
- 10:28planet busting energy wave [music] with
- 10:29his greatest technique, the serious
- 10:32punch, which is a punch, but serious. I
- 10:35bet you're wondering, what special
- 10:37TECHNIQUES DID SAITAMA LEARN during his
- 10:39epic training montage? What crazy super
- 10:42moves does this MAGNIFICENT BOLD WONDER
- 10:44HAVE up his yellow sleeves? NOTHING.
- 10:47HE'S GOT NOTHING. NO SUPERPOWERS AT ALL.
- 10:50HE'S JUST like a guy. really really
- 10:52strong guy. Don't sell him short. His
- 10:55serious side hops are so fast they
- 10:57create after images. He used his serious
- 10:59water gun to shoot lava while bathing in
- 11:01it in the nude. And with his serious
- 11:03table flip, he can rip the moon apart
- 11:06with his bare hands. Saitama can outra
- 11:08his own reflection in a mirror. THAT'S
- 11:10LIKE THE TEXTBOOK DEFINITION OF MOVING
- 11:12FASTER than light. And that was WHEN HE
- 11:14WAS STILL BALDING. GOOD GOD. JUST THINK
- 11:17ABOUT HOW MUCH FASTER AND stronger he is
- 11:19without all that hair WEIGHING HIM DOWN.
- 11:21I bet he's strong enough to bench press
- 11:23Blake holes. Oh, wait. He is. Despite no
- 11:26longer finding any joy whatsoever in
- 11:27hero work and being too stubborn to, oh,
- 11:30I don't know, find a hobby, Saitama
- 11:32still clocks in day after day to save
- 11:34lives, because the world will always
- 11:36need a hero. And it'll always need a
- 11:39villain. Enter Guro, a martial arts
- 11:42master dedicated to becoming the
- 11:44strongest and wreaking true villain
- 11:46across the world. After being empowered
- 11:48by God, YEP, CAPITAL G, GOD, G MURDERED
- 11:52SAITAMA'S FRIEND, GENOS, right in front
- 11:54of him. Holy [ __ ] Emphasis on the holy.
- 11:57And that's when things got serious. For
- 12:00the first time in years, Saitama had met
- 12:03his match. Someone who could finally
- 12:06push him to get stronger. Strong enough
- 12:08to fight across the solar system, TO
- 12:10BLAST APART THE PLANET of Jupiter with
- 12:13just a sneeze. to completely obliterate
- 12:15thousands of stars at trillions of times
- 12:17the speed OF LIGHT, LEAVING JUST AN
- 12:19EMPTY VOID IN OUTER SPACE.
- 12:22CHILLS. In just a matter of seconds,
- 12:24Saitama's power exploded to unforeseen
- 12:27heights, easily eclipsing Go's literal
- 12:29god power in mere moments. This is
- 12:32Saitama's true superpower. There is
- 12:34absolutely no limit to how strong he can
- 12:37ever get. Turns out, although squats
- 12:39weren't just for sculpting the perfect
- 12:41ass, his inhuman dedication to pain and
- 12:44training broke his limiter. Essentially,
- 12:46every living thing has a biological
- 12:48limit to [music] how strong it can
- 12:50become. And Saitama somehow removed
- 12:52that. So, in truth, it isn't just that
- 12:55Saitama is incredibly strong. It's that
- 12:57he broke the concept of being strong. If
- 13:00you're a painter, engineer, architect,
- 13:03whatever, you spend years honing your
- 13:04skills to grow your talents. Saitama
- 13:07basically learned how to skip all that
- 13:08and do it instantly. Not just during his
- 13:10training arc, he can do this heck
- 13:12whenever. This cannot be overstated. No
- 13:15matter how strong you are, no matter
- 13:17your power level, it's only a matter of
- 13:19time before Saitama surpasses you.
- 13:22Saitama is effectively as strong as he
- 13:25wants to be. But all that was cold
- 13:27comfort [music] to Saitama, who realized
- 13:29too late that achieving his dreams
- 13:31didn't matter without friends to share
- 13:33him with. except he's as strong as
- 13:35[music] he wants to be. He can copy any
- 13:37martial art he's capable of, including
- 13:39Go's incredibly advanced physics bending
- 13:41style that [music] manipulates time. So,
- 13:44he did that. He punched so hard he went
- 13:47back in time and stopped Go before he
- 13:49killed Genos. Literally beating him in
- 13:52zero punches OR NON PUNCH. HE PUNCHED
- 13:56TIME. Don't worry, WHIZ. TIME TRAVEL'S A
- 13:58[ __ ] SINCE IT [music] changed history,
- 14:00he doesn't remember doing any of this.
- 14:02And that isn't the only retcon [music]
- 14:04he had to deal with. Oh yeah, this kind
- 14:06OF THING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN ONE
- 14:07PUNCH MAN, but on like a meta level. The
- 14:10manga author has rewritten entire
- 14:12chapters and story arcs, redconning
- 14:14previous ones as if they NEVER HAPPENED
- 14:16WHILE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF TELLING
- 14:18THEM. I DON'T KNOW HOW he gets away with
- 14:20it, but it's infuriating. So to clarify,
- 14:22we have been taking into account all of
- 14:24these chapters, [music] even the recon
- 14:26ones, as possible timelines Saitama
- 14:28could have reasonably experienced, such
- 14:30as the time he [music] caught a sword
- 14:32that cut through space from a higher
- 14:33dimension. A feat which no amount of
- 14:35scientific analysis could possibly
- 14:37explain. Not the only time he's done
- 14:39crazy space-time [ __ ] like when HE
- 14:41KICKED AN INTANGIBLE PORTAL THROUGH THE
- 14:44air or punched his way OUT OF THE
- 14:46PHYSICAL UNIVERSE. PERHAPS the redcons
- 14:49are just the author's way of saying,
- 14:50"Hey, Saitama is too strong for his own
- 14:52manga. This man, this caped Baldi, is
- 14:56nothing short of an impossibility."
- 14:58MAYBE ONE DAY SAITAMA WILL OUTGROW HIS
- 15:00BOREDOM AND find something, anything
- 15:02[music] else, to do with his life. But
- 15:04until he does, monsters, villains, AND
- 15:06DARK GODS SHOULD BEWARE THE bald menace,
- 15:10the One Punch Man.

- 16:04A DEATH BATTLE.
- 16:12All right, everybody. Give it up for our
- 16:14finalist, Son Goku AND HIS OPPONENT,
- 16:20Kate of Baldi. This guy's power level is
- 16:23insane. I can only imagine what [music]
- 16:26he's thinking.
- 16:28>> Is cereal a soup?
- 16:32>> BEGIN.
- 16:37>> NO, soup is froth. [music]
- 16:40>> Ow, nice punch. But I've had worse,
- 16:55huh? Think you'll start taking this
- 16:57[music] seriously now?
- 17:18Doesn't matter what martial arts crap
- 17:20you do. I'm always too strong.
- 17:22>> Everyone's got a limit. Show me
- 17:24everything you've got.
- 17:26>> Oh yeah. Be
- 17:27>> careful what you wish for.
- 17:39>> [music]
- 17:49>> That too much for you? [groaning]
- 17:57Okay, so he has super cool glowing hair.
- 18:01I'm not jealous.
- 18:04His
- 18:11[music]
- 18:18[music]
- 18:19power level keeps rising.
- 18:33>> [music]
- 18:38>> There we go again.
- 18:42[screaming]
- 18:44[music]
- 18:50>> [music]
- 18:58>> I get it. He doesn't have a limit.
- 19:01Did I let him get too strong? [music]
- 19:08[music]
- 19:08I'M ENDING THIS NOW. DRAGON B.
- 19:12[screaming]
- 19:13BRING it on.
- 19:21Heat. HEAT.
- 19:23[screaming]
- 19:27[music]
- 19:38That was a lot.
- 19:44>> KO. MY GOD, WHIZ. HE DID IT. HE ACTUALLY
- 19:50DID IT.
- 19:50>> THIS BATTLE PRESENTS a unique challenge.
- 19:52Despite how heavy these two hit, Goku
- 19:54seems to have an enormous advantage at
- 19:56first glance. But as the fight WENT ON,
- 19:58SAIT THOMAS BROKEN limiter meant he
- 20:00could close the gap super quick. Maybe
- 20:02even fast enough to get the dub, which
- 20:04means this wasn't really a battle of
- 20:06strength, but of time. It was a race to
- 20:09the finish. We'll break this down into
- 20:10three categories. Starting with the
- 20:12difference in power. Saitama's greatest
- 20:14measurable feat eradicated thousands of
- 20:16stars. Estimating the distance by
- 20:18comparing Earth here to the nearest
- 20:20stars in the solar system, we can
- 20:21determine the area of the resulting void
- 20:23was nearly a trillion square lightyears
- 20:25away. That amount of power is equivalent
- 20:27to over 100 sexextillion supernovas.
- 20:31Awesome. But even at the start of DRAGON
- 20:32BALL SUPER, GOKU'S CLASH with Beerus
- 20:35nearly wiped out Universe 7, a super
- 20:37universe over a thousand times bigger
- 20:39than ours. That's worth over 25
- 20:41quintessicilian supernovas, which
- 20:43[music] means Saitama would have to
- 20:44increase his power by 25 octillion times
- 20:48just to match Goku. So Goku obviously
- 20:50had a head start, but Saitama's whole
- 20:52thing is that he's not just strong, he
- 20:55can become as strong as he wants cuz he
- 20:57has no limit. We need to compare their
- 20:59ability to grow and evolve past their
- 21:01limits. While Goku started with a power
- 21:04advantage, the more he engaged with
- 21:05Saitama, the quicker he lost that
- 21:07advantage. Pushed by Goku's challenge,
- 21:09SAITAMA'S BROKEN LIMITER MEANT HE GOT
- 21:11way stronger super quickly. So we have
- 21:14to ask, could he catch up to Goku LIKE
- 21:17WHEN HE FOUGHT GO? To answer this
- 21:19question, we use the in universe line
- 21:21chart of Saitama [music]
- 21:22and Go's relative strength to calculate
- 21:24Saitama's rate of growth. Based on the
- 21:26shape of the curve, his increases appear
- 21:28to be exponential, meaning his power
- 21:30grows proportionally to his previous
- 21:32[music] level. So, the stronger Saitama
- 21:34got, the faster he got even stronger.
- 21:37There isn't an exact time [music] frame
- 21:39listed for the chart, but in context, it
- 21:41represents a quick series of exchanges.
- 21:43So, we can generously [music] assume
- 21:44it's measuring time in seconds. By
- 21:46charting these points, modeling them
- 21:48out, and inserting the difference in
- 21:49power with Goku, we calculate [music]
- 21:51Saitama could bridge the gap and match
- 21:53the power of Super Saiyan God in only 2
- 21:56minutes. Plenty of time. What Dragon
- 21:58Ball fight is ever wrapped up before 2
- 22:00minutes? And Goku likes nothing better
- 22:02than a challenge. As crazy as that power
- 22:05gap starts, Saitama takes limits cuz
- 22:08HE'S ALWAYS GOING TO CATCH UP AND BLOW
- 22:10RIGHT PAST GOKU. We can't discount
- 22:11Goku's ability to break his own
- 22:13boundaries [music] in fights, but
- 22:14typically that amounts to reaching a
- 22:16specific point of power. Saitama's
- 22:18everinccreasing potential is certainly
- 22:20on another level, which means Goku had
- 22:22to rely on his techniques. Goku was more
- 22:24mobile with his flight, could fight at
- 22:26range with his key, could totally wipe
- 22:28Baldi with a Kai, AND HAS SPENT WAY MORE
- 22:30TIME ADAPTING TO weird new opponents.
- 22:32Saitama, on the other hand, has little
- 22:34to no martial arts skill to match Goku's
- 22:36vast depth of knowledge and [music]
- 22:37experience. But none of that would
- 22:39matter when Saitama inevitably got too
- 22:41strong for him. This is where Goku's
- 22:43[music] most important techniques come
- 22:45into play. His transformations.
- 22:47Saitama's potential might be limitless,
- 22:49but it still takes [music] time.
- 22:50Transformations and power boosts such as
- 22:52Super Saiyan and Kaio-Ken not only let
- 22:54Goku control the degree to which he gets
- 22:56stronger, they also spike his power
- 22:58[music] instantaneously, effectively
- 23:00resetting the battle dynamic even after
- 23:02Saitama closes the gap. And Goku could
- 23:04repeat that a bunch of times with all
- 23:06the hair colors he's collected over the
- 23:08years. Goku takes the final edge in
- 23:10techniques. But there's one more
- 23:12question. Is Saitama a gag character
- 23:15that can never lose? If you assume he
- 23:17runs on Bug's bunny logic, maybe. But
- 23:20it's more like his power is a gag
- 23:21because he doesn't fit the world around
- 23:23him until he does. Saitama is certainly
- 23:26a satire of shownen heroes, but his
- 23:28fight with Go is clear evidence that his
- 23:30power rises through effort, not gags. In
- 23:33fact, that's kind of a major point of
- 23:34his story. The effort is the gag. If you
- 23:37think about it, Saitama's OP shenanigans
- 23:39are really similar to Goku, especially
- 23:41in early Dragon Ball. Hell, he even
- 23:43matched a rale in power for a bit. It's
- 23:46easy to forget Goku's roots are also in
- 23:48comedy. With his bevy of
- 23:49transformations, an enormous gap in
- 23:51power to start, and far more applicable
- 23:53experience, Goku could certainly
- 23:54recognize Saitama's [music] threat and
- 23:56take the win. If you thought Saitama was
- 23:58taking this dove, he Kaio could not. The
- 24:02winner is Son Goku. Next time on Death
