It’s pretty crazy how we got here now, and that you guys even asked for this.
I actually want to redo a lot of the older videos we had on this since we’re now a
lot better, but this is something we’re doing first.
Saitama, better known as One Punch Man.
One Punch Man is a series that I only recently got into because of how much I liked MOB Psycho.
I plan to give my thoughts on both later if you guys are interested.
One Punch Man is a superhero known for destroying villains in one punch.
Or well, he’s not really known to begin with, that’s coming from the anime only.
He’s a good guy that continuously doesn’t get what he deserves as a hero, but he’s
fine with it.
Well, that depends on what exactly is going, but for the most part he’s a selfless man.
Looking at his character, you’ll get a feeling of simplicity and somewhat a goofy appeal.
His character design is…
He’s a guy in a yellow jumpsuit wearing dishwashing gloves.
He’s not someone trying to be what he’s not, he is what he is, but it doesn’t look
like that at a face value approach.
I think that’s another thing that I really do enjoy about his character.
But, on the topic of what will determine what his stand would be.
He’s will, fighting spirit, passion, and all of those synonyms possible that could
connect to what I’m going with.
Saitama has a drive that isn’t that common in Jojo.
The need to find someone as strong as him so they’re able to put in a good fight.
There isn’t someone I can think of right off the bat, and those that are extremely
strong in Jojo don’t have a drive to fight, they only do it when needed since they’re
drive lies in other things.
Saitama wants to be the hero, which is a huge goal, and it’s extremely possible for him.
Though I think the feeling of wanting a good fight is something that he hunts for as much
as his goal.
To see him achieve that in the way he wants to would be great to see, but we don’t have
that in season one.
In the manga, that could be happening.
I’m not sure, I have 5 different series to catch up on.
I believe that if we’re to determine a stand it’s on how he feels about finding someone
as strong as him, the passion he has, or how he feels in general going about fights were
the enemies aren’t as strong as him.
That’s three different types of energy, but which one do you see him commonly dealing
with.
The third feeling is what we’d probably have to deal with versus the other ones since
we don’t commonly get that.
But, I have a thought on how to go about that.
While I don’t believe that using Acts technically work with Saitama since he himself isn’t
underdeveloped, I could see it working towards his feelings since they’re all separated,
and boost his power and drive.
Well, first let’s go about the name.
Stands are usually known for their musical references and how the design correlates with
lyrics at times.
When I look at Saitama go about life, there’s a few artists and songs that I can pin on
him.
But I think the one that stuck with me the most was Randy Newman.
You know, the guy who sang “You got a friend in me”, “Baltimore”, “Sail Away”.
He’s done a lot, great music.
He had this one song that I felt worked so well with Saitama, and that’s “Lonely
at the Top” which can also refer to his “Best of “album.
While “Lonely at the Top” is a mouthful and you won’t be commonly saying that when
summoning your stand, we’ve had other stands with reasonably long names too.
Since we can shorten names, I wanted to try 1T.
Which I reference to being the only one on the top and a reference to one, the writer
of One Punch Man that we haven’t seen.
Now, what makes a stand.
Well, name, design, stats, and power.
To those that draw, I’ll leave the design to you all.
Go with what you feel like would work side by side with Saitama.
Going into power.
When thinking about power 1T should have, I thought of Survivor immediately.
Since it’s on the topic of worst stand because it makes everyone lash out on everyone, but
I wanted a stand that would work for everyone that wants it to.
I haven’t made a name for it yet.
The ability of 1T is to make everyone in a 15-meter radius stronger through the will
and passion that they posses, and it to make those lacking in either passion and will weaker.
What exactly does this mean?
If Saitama was about to go against a villain that think they’re the strongest being there
is, this would multiply their power to a certain point where they could possibly make him sweat.
But this means that the villain has to believe in themselves enough to have their power multiplied.
Saitama’s quiet knowledge on knowing there’s not that many beings that could go on part
with him also benefits him too.
So, by this stand existing, he’s driving Saitama forward by giving them boost.
One Saitama attains that passion he’s been looking for, his power shoots to a ridiculously
higher level through his Act 3 stand.
Along with boosting power, the range increases as the acts go on.
Though the range won’t matter that much because the blowback in the fights alone will
take either Saitama or whose he’s going against out of the range of the stand.
Down to the specifics of the stand.
Act 1 is a multipler that goes from 3x-4x.
Act 2: 5x-6x.
And, Act 3 10-12x.
This goes the same with the negative effects too, so if someone that was giving Saitama
a good fight around Act 2 starts to feel doubt then that’s a scary sight.
The ranging on all three of the acts go from 15 meters, to 20 meters, and capping at 50
meters.
I also know that people still like stand stats no matter how odd they can be at times, so
here’s the stats for 1T.
Destructive Power: E. Speed: A.
Range: B. Durability: A.
Precision: E. Potential: A.
The only things that will change once the stand evolves through the acts is Range and
Potential.
Range capping at A once it hits two, even though Act 3 hits a higher range there’s
no A plus.
Potential goes from A, to A, to E. Since Act 3 is his finalized form.
And that’s going to be it.
I hope you guys enjoyed it, because somehow I know someone is going to come for me just
for the topic alone.
Follow my media in the description and I’ll see you all in the next one.
Until then, peace out and God Speed.
