I'm just wondering whether Saitama could live in space, just like Superman or
Goku, without needing oxygen to breathe?

Can Saitama breathe in space?


**No, he can not breathe in space.**

In the chapter 47 (35.2), Boros punches Saitama so hard that he is sent flying
towards the moon. When he lands there, he does his best to hold his breath:

No he can't. He had to hold his breath while in the moon. That means no.
However he can travel through space without external help. He got shot to the
moon and he got back without a rocket. His durability and endurance is enough
for that.

Based on the anime, Saitama first looks around calmly, realizes he's in space,
then covers his nose. While this isn't solid evidence, the fact he just didn't
even realize this is probable evidence of one of two things: either Saitama
does not require any breath and had passively stopped breathing at all, or he
is simply such a broken character that he ignores logic until he realizes it's
even there in the first place. Either way the air should have escaped from his
body within seconds, so based on a logical standpoint I can only assume that
yes, Saitama can breathe in space.

No matter how strong he may be, Saitama wasn't holding his breath until after
a few seconds of being on the moon. the minute he left the atmosphere, the air
inside him, which is normal oxygen and nitrogen, would be sucked out. Strength
has nothing to do with his oxygen deprivation. No breath holding equals no
oxygen, so no reaction to oxygen loss equals no oxygen dependency. Saitama
can't die from space.
