10 Anime Beatdowns We'll Never Forget

9.  Saitama Vs Boros - One Punch Man

Deku Overhaul My Hero Academia

Did it take more than one punch? Sure. Was it a total victory nonetheless? Heck yes it was.

Alien invader Boros initially appears to be a match for Saitama after surviving his indescribably powerful punches and knocking the bald-headed superhero into the moon itself. But, surprise, that isn't the case in the slightest.

It turns out that Saitama was just playing around, seeing how strong his opponent was in hopes that they could put up an equal fight. While his regenerative abilities do give Boros an edge, it's not nearly enough to measure up to the guy who has a punch so strong its impact echoes across the entire planet.

This beatdown captures every aspect that makes the series so beloved and iconic. The music and animation mixed with Saitama's comedic confidence creates a perfect scene that caps off a perfect season of anime.

Maybe one day Saitama will find a worthy adversary... that's a big maybe though.
