Most epic trope in all of anime.

All other main characters getting their asses stomped in order time for the real savior to come in and save the day.

One Punch Man does the same thing and it's why it's epic AF.

OPM does it non epic fashion. Hes usually off taking a shit or just not paying attention to the dangerous situation.

My favorite part of OPM is still when Saitama saves Mumen Rider and everyone from the Deep Sea King and, when the crowd are on the verge of being disillusioned with the heroes, he pretends to be a heel taking advantage of their hard work to score an easy win and take the credit. He passes up the recognition and praise he really wants, so that the people will regard the heroes more kindly for their sacrifice.

That is when I felt that, despite Saitama being so totally invulnerable and overwhelmingly powerful (and as a result in no fear of mortal peril during his battles), he could really still be a heroic figure in a relatable kind of way.

It was all frontloaded in Z though, I don't think it happened again after Namek.

Buu, but a lot of the movies did it. Cooler's revenge did it.

He also held gohan's hand throughout the entire cell fight but that doesn't count as him coming in at the end to save the day.
