“Who decides limits? And based on what? You said you worked hard? Well, maybe you need to work a little harder. Is that really the limit of your strength? Could the you of tomorrow beat you today? Instead of giving in, move forward.”
~ Saitama One-Punch Man
~ Saitama One-Punch Man
On an alternate earth, Saitama has trained himself to be a superhero by doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and a 10km run every day. It took over three years but he effectively broke the limits of strength and now he can effortlessly defeat any creature with one punch.
So he's bored -- it's one of the more fantastic anime out there in my opinion.
Saitama is the kind of "pure" hero that you can admire, with a firm grasp of right and wrong, but boredom is his arch nemesis - he says in one episode, “In exchange for gaining strength, have I lost something more important as a human being? Emotions used to swirl within me when I fought. Fear, impatience, anger… But now… Day after day, after one punch I go home unharmed and wash my gloves.”
I was inspired to make this balloon after I saw Namco Bandai was coming out with a One-Punch Man fighting game. The very idea is hilarious and when I looked -- indeed there was a graphic of Saitama standing as champion, his combo score: 1. Bwwahahahhahahhahahaaaaaa! Love it!
I had to redo his face, a bored expression is very similar to a worried expression, it's in the shape of the eyes.  | |
