The secret to Saitama’s powers...
His diet.
Yeah, you heard me, but its not, because he’s been having just a banana in the morning. No, its, because he’s been eating monster cells.
When I first saw this I thought that this was only how animals turned into monsters, but later we are told this
I thought maybe monster cells was just what they called the gross things that they gave to the contestants, but the first picture i post suggests other wise. Anyways, lets get to the point.
It has already been WELL established that Saitama eats monsters (and so does Pig-god, and I guess also Genos, but we’ll get to them later) So going off of what I pointed out earlier, I believe that due to Saitama eating monsters he mutated and thats how he gained his super strength and speed,and broke his limits.
Now you might ask, “Why doesn’t Saitama look and act like a monster?” well it’s because he 1st of all didn’t know what the monster meat would do to him most likely, and 2nd of all he ISNT a monster! He’s a kind hero, who would never do such things like the monsters. Also…
Saitama wished to be strong, he wanted to help people, he was deteremined do so! Thats who he was, thats the “quality” of him. Thats why eating the monster meat made him super strong and super fast, it also might suggest why Pig-God is also strong in a way.
Pig-God, we honestly don’t know much about him other than his freakish ability to consume monsters whole (aka as vore) and that he is an S-Class hero along with the fact that he to, has immense strength and speed, although not to the rate of Saitama’s (Here’s a link to the OPM wiki, it goes more in depth to Pig-God’s abilities there!), but I believe he gained his ability to eat monsters whole (and not die from eating like that, and still be able to move) from eating monster meat.
And lastly, Genos, we know hes had several dishes containing monster meat (Like that one seaweed dish), but he appears to not be getting any of the crazy abilities that Saitama, Pig-God, and the people from the tournament have been getting from eating monster cells! Well, I think that the reason for this is, because he’s mostly metal and he burns all of his food instead of digesting it like a normal person. It’s also possible that he is being affected, but it’s happening at a slow rate?
As I was writing the last part I noticed something that might help explain why Saitama and the other two were not affected the same way by the monster meat! In pic 2, it says “Pick one and eat the whole thing straight” implying that not eating it the whole thing, or maybe even eating to differently could affect the out come. Perhaps cooking, burning, eating small portions, of monster meat vs eating one of those cells all in one go, is the equivalent of drinking 1 shot of vodka or 40.
Saitama might actually have been loosing his touch with humanity, and his emotions, because of how long he was eating monster meat. He’s poisoning himself and becoming more of a monster!
This is starting to get a bit long, and I don’t think I have much else to say on this, if keep writing I’ll just be reiterating stuff I’ve already said. Please leave you’re thoughts, I would really love to know if i’m on to something :O
Have anything to debunk this? Please tell me that as well! Honestly if you just have anything to say about this theory, dont be shy
