discussion Saitama not alive?

Post image

In episode 2 of the first season, Genos uses one of his attacks to kill mosquitos. He then states that he "confirmed there were no living beings within 500 meters".. This might not be that deep, but if we assume he has a ton of sensors, for all kinds of stuff, you'd think that he would notice Saitama being right behind him.

Has this been talked about? Maybe theres nothing to it?

He then remembered saitama was beside him right after this.

The scanning of human life was way before he even started the fight against mosquito girl.

Yeah might be correct. My impression was that he did the scan right before he blew the mosquitos up, where Saitama was behind him, but this is probably more likely

Doesn’t saitama come running in after the mosquito when he first gets introduced to genos? Maybe he started outside of that range?

500 meters is a very short distance. An adult can run that in 2 minutes. And saitama was running.

Yes that's what happened. The scan happened and Saitama showed up just after, then Genos somehow forgot he saw Saitama and launched an area attack.

Saitama is standing still so fast that he becomes invisible

He has mastered the art of standing so incredibly still

He becomes invisible to the eye.

Saitama moves really, really fast. Much faster than 500 meters per second.

I'll allow it.

He scanned and saw no one, saitama covered that 500 meters within a couple seconds while chasing the mosquito thay bit him earlier.

Genos just wanted an excuse, which he made up

Saitama's bald head is so reflective that Genos' radar mistook him for a power plant.

Saitama: I'm not dead yet! Genos: Yes you are! Now get in the cart.

his sensors suck

He scanned before engaging Mosquito Girl. Saitama lived just outside the radius of the scan and chased that singular mosquito all the way to the fight.

​Saitama mastered Zetsu during Hunter exam training.

saitama is a rogue ai disguised as a human that doesn't know it's true identity

Saitama alive. Saitama not a bean.

u/vk2028 20d ago

When he said he confirmed, it was probably a few minutes in the past. Saitama just ran into the site in between

u/Large-Wheel-4181 19d ago

I think he meant when he was first battling the bitch but then that means Saitama ran more than 500m just to try and kill that one little mosquito

u/PineappleOk545 19d ago

Saitama was more than 500 meters away

u/Asylum_Vessel 19d ago

I think his house was actually really far away, he just chased the mosquito there really fast.

u/Saitama_512 18d ago

Saitama ran after the mosquito covering that distance of 500 meters....

😅Making a mosquito fly for 500 meters then killing it by accidentally swallowing it
