Reader’s Question:
I’ve been seeing a lot of videos on YouTube about pointless debates like Goku vs. Saitama, and I have a question regarding this topic. I’m not a die-hard Saitama fan, but I notice that many Dragon Ball fans insist that Goku would win. They present various reasons and opinions,
such as: “For Goku to lose, he would need to not have protagonist privileges; even early on, Krillin could probably defeat him.” “Kame-Sen’nin destroyed the moon, so at that point, he should be roughly equal to a Super Saiyan.” “Of course, Goku would win; his attack power is strong enough, and given the current power inflation, Goku, Vegeta, or Gohan could potentially destroy a planet.” Personally, I think that no matter how strong Goku is, he would likely be incapacitated by Saitama’s attacks. If there are any knowledgeable fans out there, could you please share your thoughts?
Debating Goku vs. Saitama: A Personal Take
So, I’ve been diving down the YouTube rabbit hole lately, and I keep stumbling upon these hilarious, yet utterly pointless debates like Goku vs. Saitama. You know how it goes—passionate fans arguing their points like it’s life or death! I mean, who would’ve thought fictional characters could stir up such heated discussions, right? I get it, though. Goku has that whole “protagonist privilege” thing going for him. I mean, let’s be real: he’s taken on some seriously tough opponents and come out on top. I remember watching the episode where Kame-Sen’nin destroys the moon, and I was like, “Whoa, if he can do that, what can Goku do?” But then again, there’s Saitama, who’s designed to be this unbeatable force—one punch and boom, game over! I find myself leaning slightly toward the side of Saitama. Sure, Goku’s got all those power-ups and incredible feats under his belt, but Saitama’s whole character is built around this underlying gag of how he can defeat anyone with a single punch. It’s like the writer took “overpowered” to a whole new level, and it’s kind of brilliant, in a way. Just imagine the showdown: Goku, all serious and focused, charging up his Kamehameha, while Saitama is just casually standing there, probably munching on a snack or something. You can almost hear the laughter in the background! I mean, how could you take that seriously? There’s something so absurdly funny about the idea of Goku, who’s always striving to become the strongest, facing off against a guy who’s basically a parody of that very concept. I think it’s those quirks in characters that make these debates entertaining. And let’s not forget the moments when characters break the fourth wall or exhibit those classic “gag manga” traits, like Vegeta fumbling against a silly character like Arale-chan. It’s a reminder that sometimes, it’s not about who’s stronger but about the journey and the laughs we share along the way. In my own life, I often find parallels to these debates. Like when my kid and I argue over who’s the best superhero—my child’s logic is hilarious, and I can’t help but laugh even when I’m trying to hold my ground. It’s those silly moments that remind me how important it is to embrace the fun, no matter how “serious” the debate is. So, what do you think? Are you Team Goku or Team Saitama? Or maybe you have your own wild theories about other characters? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences! Share them in the comments!
