    Default Saitama vs. Arcade

    Arcade has been hired to kill Saitama, and been given a very thorough explanation of his abilities.

    So, the question is: Can Arcade, with Prep Time, develop a murder world capable of Killing Saitama

    The first problem there is that we have literally no idea what it would take to kill Saitama. He's basically immune to everything in his world that we've seen so far, and that includes things a bit outside of Arcade's paygrade, like literally being punched to the moon then just jumping back unharmed.

    The second is speed: Arcade doesn't really have feats for dealing with that, and Saitama's got oodles of it.

    Made worse that we've never seen Saitama go all-out. The closest we've gotten is his "Serious Series" moves, and that's just Saitama putting some effort into what he's doing.

    Hell, his punch that split the cloudline from where he was standing to the curvature of the earth was him still holding back according to Boros (which Saitama didn't dispute).

    Arcade would have to build EVERYTHING in the place out of Adamantium/Vibranium just to keep Saitama from destroying it with a casual punch.
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    There's a reason we generally don't see Arcade taking on people on the Hulk/Thor level.

    It's because he's not at all dangerous to them and they can turn him into paste with ease.

    Saitama is, at the very least, in that same general area of power.

    Honestly, just develop an otherwise normal fighting game cabinet that launches anyone that loses into space and point it away from the moon. Maybe make the prize for winning be some sort of permanent discount at his closest grocery store.

    This is a really good strategy. Saitama is a physical monster but he's not impossible to trick.

    I don't know. Saitama might be able to react faster than the machine can launch him. And if it's a vehicle he can probably easily stop it

    And it sounds a bit small for Arcade's usual MO.

    Wait, Saitama finally reached Thor/Hulk level, the last i knew was that he still not got tested by anone comparable to characters of that tier?

    Here's a feat from a LONG time ago, relatively:

    Genos challenges Saitama to a duel - it's training, but Genos goes all out and makes Saitama promise not to hold back. Genos throws everything he has at Saitama for a bit, doing jack squat of course.

    Genos gets mad that Saitama isn't really trying at all.

    So Saitama throws a casual punch. Genos can't actually react to it. Saitama pulls it so that it doesn't connect, not actually wanting to kill Genos.

    Just the force of the shot that did not connect to anything opens up a miles long, hundred-plus meter wide and deep crater in stone - there was a cliff behind Genos.

    That's easily up there with things that solid class 100s do.

    Next, you have our hero, while screwing around with Boros, letting his foe land a hit on him.

    Said hit knocks him to the moon, where he leaves a large crater. He is completely unharmed. He then casually jumps back to Earth (if he can fly, he still doesn't realize it).

    Again, that's class 100 level stuff.
