Power scaling is done according toVs battle wiki and similar websites
Q1: Not according to feats, but according to power, where does Saitama scale in?
Ans:
If we're not looking at feats shown so far, but instead judging Saitama's power scaling based on narrative intention and in-universe logic, things change dramatically.
---
What kind of power does Saitama represent?
Saitama is a satirical character—a narrative deconstruction of shonen tropes. His defining trait is limitless strength, with no ceiling. He broke his "limiter," meaning there's no upper bound to how strong he can get. His power grows in reaction to what's needed, often humorously.
---
So, where does he scale based on power concept, not feats?
Let's go through the tiers:
---
Tier 4 / 3 / 2 (Planetary to Multiversal):
This is where he sits based on actual shown feats (e.g., galaxy-level shockwaves, outpacing light-speed Garou, surviving black hole-like forces).
---
Tier 1B to 1A (Low Complex Multiversal to High Hyperversal):
If you argue his "limitless growth" lets him scale with or beyond any opponent…
Then theoretically, he can grow to beat even 1A beings. This is similar to how characters like SCP-3812 evolve in real time to overcome anything.
BUT: This is headcanon until the manga confirms such meta-logic. It's implied potential, not confirmed capability.
---
Tier 0 (Boundless)?
No. Saitama doesn't transcend narrative structure or exist beyond dimensional hierarchies. He's a parody of power escalation, not a being that defies existence itself.
Even his "limitless strength" is bound to reaction-based progression (he gets stronger to win), not omnipresence or boundlessness.
---
Best Conclusion – Conceptual Power Tier:
Feats: Tier 4 to Low 2-C.
Narrative Intention / Thematic Power: Possibly 1A-ish potential, as a limitless growth parody.
But not Tier 0.
He's like the Anti-Goku—not meant to be scaled, because he's built to break scaling for comedic effect.
If you want a tiering scale purely based on narrative function, he's basically a conceptual "Plot Equalizer"—like The One-Above-All's silly cousin in a gag universe.
Want me to compare him to Goku, Gojo, or a Tier 1/0 being like Reinhard or Featherine next?( Let me know if you want me to do it)
Q2: So if Saitama faces enemies from 2-c to boundless gradually, like step by step, can he reach boundless?
Ans:
Let's break this down from both narrative logic and power-scaling philosophy:
---
1. Based on Canon Power Progression:
Saitama doesn't grow stronger through training anymore — he already broke his limiter. But in the One Punch Man manga (recent arcs), it's been shown that:
He grows stronger through combat experience, even subconsciously.
He fought Garou who had god-tier cosmic awareness and copied divine techniques, yet Saitama still surpassed him in real time — even warping space-time by sneezing.
This implies that Saitama's power can scale infinitely, adapting beyond logic for the sake of the joke.
---
2. If He Fought Tier-by-Tier (2-C to Boundless):
Let's say:
He beats a 2-C enemy (Multiversal).
Then a High 1-B (Hyperversal).
Then 1-A (Outerverse).
Then Boundless (beyond all structure, concept, or limitation).
Saitama's narrative power would likely keep up. Not because of in-universe logic, but because the meta-purpose of his character is to be the guy who can always win, no matter how strong the enemy is.
So in theory?
> Yes, Saitama can reach boundless — if the joke keeps going.
---
3. But Can He Be "Boundless" in the Same Way as True Boundless Beings?
Not exactly.
Characters like the Overvoid, The Presence, Azathoth, or Featherine are written as transcendent metaphysical absolutes — they are the framework, not just fighters in it.
Saitama would punch them — and it would work if the narrative allows it. But he doesn't possess boundless existence, transcendental origin, or cosmological authority.
---
Conclusion:
Can Saitama beat boundless beings? Yes, in a narrative meant to mock power scaling.
Is Saitama himself boundless by cosmological definition? No, but he's functionally boundless in his own verse.
So could he reach Boundless by fighting tier-by-tier? In a satirical or crossover story? Absolutely. In strict cosmology? Not by definition, but by joke logic, yes.

Would you like a tier-by-tier joke ladder of Saitama casually beating increasingly OP characters until he punches the concept of power-scaling itself?(If you need this, let me know in the comments, only if there are more than 20 comments I am gonna do this, cause it's gonna take hella lot of time and effort to do it properly without glazing any character in that particular sector)
