One Punch Man vs Thragg (Invincible)

[JohnDiggle]

Can Thragg give Saitama a good fight?

[Captain Morgan]

Huh. This is one is interesting. Both characters can casually maim lowend class 100s. We have an upper limit on Thragg's durability, being in the inner layers of the sun. We don't have an upper limit on Saitama but I don't think he's withstood anything on that level.

Both rely on scaling for their speed feats. So who is faster: Mark Grayson or Flashy Flash?

As someone who crunched the numbers loosely on both Mark and Flashy Flash... I would say... they are about even... both in the "significant fraction of lightspeed" bracket? Mark has much greater range on his top end stuff while Flashy has much more extreme combat and reaction feats.

The thing is... Saitama is /massively/ faster than Flashy Flash so I would anticipate him to be above Thragg as the difference between Mark and Thragg is much small than between Flash and Saitama.

I would personally back Saitama myself but I think he's going to have a good fight for once.

My recollection is that Saitama has dodged Flash's attacks without particular exertion but I don't recall him outright blitzing the guy like he did Sonic. Am I wrong?

He's dodged them with no issue and casually blocked his high speed attacks. Flashy also got blitzed by Awakened Garou in the webcomic and then Saitama was faster still than him.

This might require some waiting until we see how Flashy and Garou compare once the manga catches up as Flashy's big feats are in the manga and we don't quite know how that's going to shake out yet.

In the manga thus far, Saitama did say "oh, you're kind of fast, nice," but ultimately was presented as significantly above him.

Mark, by the end of series, was fast enough to compete with compete with Thragg without issue. They seemed to be presented as functionally close enough to be effectively equal in speed.

So how do we think the power output of Saitama's moon jump or serious punch compares to the Graysons and company blowing up that planet? I know that feat has some major asterisks on it with the blast and all that, but the boys played a meaningfully role in destroying a planet there and Thragg 5hen ripped those boys apart.


But the asterisks are such that I'm never show how to evaluate the feat. Or even what the three of them did by flying through the planet.
