The mere comparison of strength between the two characters is crazy. Goku is an extraterrestrial being who has to lose a fight in order to get stronger. Saitama is a man that can defeat any foe with a single punch. If the two of them were to face off in a one-on-one battle, Saitama would easily win.
Goku has his transformations and innate Saiyan traits. On the other hand, Saitama has overwhelming raw strength that, so far, surpasses anything that Saiyans can do.
Depends on version, with the highest scaling (using anime), Saitama at best can chances (not much) on beating Base Goku when he arrive on Namek.
With Ultra Instinct, master or not, Goku could evade all of Saitama's attacks leaving his prodigious, signature ability completely useless.
Saitama is a man that can defeat any foe with a single punch. If the two of them were to face off in a one-on-one battle, Saitama would easily win. The fight wouldn't last a second let alone enough time for Goku to transform into a Super Saiyan. Simply put, I guess being bald is better than growing your hair.
Saitama (1000 IQ) VS 1.000. 000 Colossal Titans: 1.000 IQ, 100 IQ, 10 IQ!
Despite having received God's powers, there wasn't anything Garou could do to defeat the Caped Baldy. Suffice to say, Saitama hasn't lost a single fight in the One Punch Man manga so far.
Saitama vs cat
[ Still trying to do the math on how, the only thing to ever actually damage Saitama in the series is a cat scratching his face.
Unfortunately, since Saitama cannot also elevate his strength into another form, it would be unfair to compare Super Saiyan Goku to base Saitama. In terms of base form strength, Saitama from One Punch man takes home the win against Goku.
In the OPM web comic, it is stated by the infamous Dr. Genus, that Saitama has "removed his limiter." Even though Saitama is a human, he has surpassed his limiter to getting stronger, while Goku still has that. As a Saiyan, Goku has a very, very big limiter.
Goku. Goku is the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball franchise. His abilities include super strength, utilization of ki, teleportation, super speed, and durability. However, he is the strongest anime character because he overcomes adversity and thrives on improvement.
Saitama is also theoretically much faster than even the Zero Causality Fist, as it appeared to cause him no strain or fatigue when using it, implying even this isn't his maximum speed. Though Goku may be one of manga's most iconic powerhouses, One-Punch Man's Saitama is closing the distance with every chapter.
According to Saitama, he achieved immense strength by performing 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 sit-ups, and running 10 kilometers daily for about a year.
Vegeta is far stronger than Saitama. I mean just look at Vegeta. When he had a power level of mere 18000 in the saiyan saga, he was able to destroy the alien planet Arlia with absolute ease.
Indeed, Goku has been beaten countless times, and it's usually actually a tradition to have him lose against an arc villain before training and getting powerful enough to defeat our villain once and for all.
Vegeta is Already Stronger Than Goku, & One Detail Proves It - IMDb. Dragon Ball Super has seldom given the Saiyan prince Vegeta any real chance to shine when compared to Goku .
Goku was actually significantly weaker than Vegeta during their first fight. He could barely keep up with the Elite Saiyan without Kaioken. Even pushing his body past its limits, Goku needed to tap into Kaioken x3 to get a physical advantage.
That being said, Saitama hasn't used his full power in any of the fights in One Punch Man. However, fans expect him to go all out at some point in the story and are eagerly waiting for the character or the entity that will push Saitama to his absolute limits.
Under the Hero Association, he is assigned the hero name Caped Baldy (ハゲマント, Hagemanto; Viz: Bald Cape) and is currently A-Class Rank 39.
Despite his nickname, Saitama doesn't always defeat his opponents with a single punch. In fact, occasionally, he unloads a flurry of attacks. As the titular character of One Punch Man, it is often expected of Saitama to finish his enemies in no more than one punch.
Goku: 76, even though you might think his IQ could be even lower sometimes, he often proves he can do some smart things too, especially while fighting and especially during DBZ.
Saitama has clearly demonstrated that he possesses some semblance of intelligence, yet it doesn't negate the fact that he clearly isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Saitama's lack of intelligence could very well become one of his biggest weaknesses, with villains only requiring wits to outsmart the famed hero.
Immeasurable Strength: Saitama possesses an immeasurable amount strength and as a result is capable of destroying powerful monsters and villains with a single one punch (though this strength is not limited to punches).
