‘Saitama‘ is one of the strongest characters in the anime world. While most shonen anime characters have special abilities or psychological powers, Saitama has his willpower and training. He is probably the only anime protagonist to not have any otherworldly abilities yet he manages to outrank almost all of them.
He is most certainly one of the strongest anime characters but there are a few anime characters that can defeat Saitama when it comes down to it. Let’s take a look at the top 10 characters who can defeat Saitama or One Punch Man.

10) Netero
Netero from ‘Hunter X Hunter‘ is the strongest character in that anime. He, like Saitama, has achieved his strength through training and willpower. However, unlike Saitama, he has a supernatural ability. Netero’s 100 Guanyin Bodhisattva will most definitely defeat the One Punch Man and he always has his hand zero as the last resort.
9) Alucard
Alucard from ‘Hellsing‘ is another character who can easily defeat Saitama. The vampire prince is both cunning and powerful, and the mix of both of these qualities makes him a formidable opponent for Saitama.
8) Ryuk
Why should one bother fighting when one can simply write down a person’s name to kill them? This is exactly what Ryuk can do to One Punch Man. He can easily defeat Saitama without even lifting a finger by writing his name on his death note.
7) Zeno
Zeno is the strongest character in the entire ‘Dragon Ball‘ universe. Zeno is extremely powerful and has already destroyed four universes with ease. So defeating Saitama wouldn’t even require him to lift a finger.
6) Mob
Shigeo Kageyama or Mob has psychic powers and is powerful beyond measure. He can destroy people with his mind alone and has defeated the strongest of opponents without much effort. Therefore it is easy for him to defeat one punch man.
5) Saiki Kusuo
Saiki Kusuo is another character who has psychic abilities. However, unlike Mob, Saiki has a variety of powers, such as pyrokinesis, mind reading, and much more. While he doesn’t use his powers to fight, he can easily defeat Saitama if push comes to shove.

4) Goku
This is a much-anticipated fight among anime fans. This hypothetical fight has caused a lot of debate amongst anime fans. However, according to the recent developments in both anime, Goku can defeat Saitama. MUI Goku was able to overpower Jiren, and this would be able to defeat One Punch Man without much difficulty.
3) Anos Voldigoad
Anos Voldigoad is the demon king. He has never lost a battle and has always emerged victorious. This demon king once moved a castle on his fingers just for fun, and he moved the moon with his hands to create an eclipse. For someone who can do these tasks as if they were menial, defeating Saitama is not much work.
2) Lain
The hypothetical fight against Saitama has human anime characters, demons, or some other race, but let’s compare him to a computer program. Lain can easily manipulate Saitama’s thoughts and is omnipresent and omnipotent. She can defeat Saitama with ease.
1) Yhwach
Yhwach is the final antagonist in ‘Bleach‘. He is the Quincy king and is more powerful than anyone can imagine. Ywach had the power to not only see but also manipulate the future to his liking. This power allows him to get rid of any unwanted happenings. As a result, he can easily defeat Saitama and the latter wouldn’t even be able to punch him.
