In his encounter with Crablante before he started training, Saitama is hit by
him and thrown away like 30 meters or more, and then hit again 2 more times
with those gigantic claws Crablante has. If Saitama was a regular human, how
could he support this beating and still stand like it was nothing and fight
back?

Did Saitama have some level of superhuman strength before training?


Seems like Saitama doesn't really know he has it before then. From what I
remember, Genos said when he was train fighting with Saitama that he wanted to
show or let know what Saitama's power really is, something like that.

If Saitama was able to even attempt to do his physical training regimen of 100
pushups/100 situps and 10km run, he had to be physically capable to a certain
extent to even attempt something as vigorous. So even at that time, he
might've been as strong enough to be a high-ranked C-class hero or low-ranked
B-class hero perhaps. Also, Crablante is only a Tiger threat-level monster.

Just saying, the hundred push-ups stuff is what Saitama thinks is the reason
for his incredible power. And remember Saitama isn't exactly the smartest
person to say the least.

I heard somewhere that the reason Saitama is so strong is due to the fact that
he broke his "limiter". Now there isn't much information on this but I imagine
that it works like this: every person has a limiter based on who they are.
This limiter determines how strong they can get mentally and physically. So in
Saitama's case he not only trained really hard but also gave everything and
when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING.

Before he became super strong he had no job, no family, no friends, he
basically had nothing to live for. As Crablante said "I see that you have
lifeless eyes." "From one pair of lifeless eyes to another I will let you
live." (Something along those lines, but you get the point.) Back to the
limiter. What I am trying to say is that Saitama gave it his all, his desire
so strong that he broke the barrier that stops everyone from becoming too
strong.

This is my main theory on why Saitama is so strong. Now there's this other
theory about him eating all his enemies to become stronger and stuff, but
that's a whole other story. (I mean no offence to anyone as this is only
opinion on this topic. The people who make One Punch Man probably have this
completely different explanation on why Saitama is so powerful.)

Before training, at the time of fighting with that Crablante, Saitama told
that he wants to become a hero who can kill any monster with one punch.

I think there is someone/something which grants power to humans or awakens
their power according to wish and righteousness. After fighting with
Crablante, we can see Saitama inherited/awakened his power which is shown with
his eyes being orange color. After that, he trained a lot and became a super
powerful one.

Yeah, of course, he had to have had some capabilities to be able to attempt
that regimen for over 3 years, but saying that he “only defeated a tiger-
level” before he started training is belittling the hell out of what happened,
no way he’s a high C/Low B-class hero.

To beat a tiger-level disaster (in this case Crablante), you have to either
have 5 B-class heroes or 1 A-class. So, he would have been in a higher class
since then.
