bruh

Ok, of those on the list it's either Asura or Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong has the power of changing reality and Asura was able to break the reincarnation cycle of the universe with punching.

Unicron says that there is literally one thing in the entire universe that can harm him.

None of those other characters are that thing, or possess that thing. Or could use it even if they had it.

So he eats them all.

Kirby kills Elder Gods on a regular basis

it's going to be kirby, followed by saitama.

saitama literally fought God and won, then warped reality to the past before that even happened because he was bored.

kirby, however, can just absorb saitama.

I voted Goku, but then saw Sun Wukong, and that's a rough choice as Goku is based on Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong is immortal so it's hard to compare him against other protagonists (Goku is not immortal, although has immortality through plot).

Unicron literally eats planets.

Goku. The spirit bomb and dragon fist are show stoppers

These are always dumb. Saitama should be the correct answer because his show is a parody. Of course he can splatter Goku and Superman together, that's the entire joke.

Youre saying Saitama has no limits?

I think it's hard to argue a character that hasn't been shown even so much as hurt. But yet hasn't faced as powerful foes as others on the list. With Saitama its literally a case of we don't actually know.

Bernard from Bernards Watch. Or Bananaman

how the fuck did Unicron even make the list when he gets BTFO'd in his first appearance?
Love that movie btw

Sun Wukong is actually the most powerful. His whole thing is that he roughhouses endless pantheons of universe manipulating gods and then eventually achieves nirvana and becomes one of those reality manipulators himself. Maybe the most stupidly written Superman would start to enter the conversation against Sun Wukong but nobody else on that list does. Not even Asura.

Saitama being a parody also invalidates most power comparisons.

Kirby is still number one lol

hmmmnope, not changing the subject. Definitely fictional and overpowered, if said character is to be believed.

Saitama. He can throw wormholes like frisbees and obliterate a planet with his sneeze.

How is Kirby winning other than this site and its love for Nintendo?
I picture a Buu situation where people absorbed just bust out eventually

Posters here probably don't know half of the characters on the list.
And, yes I am saying most PotDers have no idea who Superman is.

Yeah when the fuck did Kirby become OP? You are all discounting One Punch Mans universe but not Kirbys ridiculous universe?

Because he has one unique and nearly impossible to exploit weakness, which by narrative coincidence just happened to occur in spite of being a billion-to-one chance?

Unless you're literally the destined leader of the Autobots AND have the Matrix of Leadership nearby, you're not beating him. Later lore even made him a literal god.

Ironically, the Autobots actually deplete the Matrix a season or two after the movie. So if he'd attacked them about three years later they'd all be dead.

I don't know man, seems like bad planning on his part to straight up antagonize and later assault the planet of the guys possessing the one thing that you know could fuck you up. I guess that's not really part of the question though.

Idk the story but maybe wanted to destroy the planet possessing the one thing that could fuck him up?

That's not exactly what happens, though.

He's coincidentally in the exact right place in all of infinite space to reach the Decepticons that get dumped before they die. He basically takes the opportunity to send them as minions to go kill the current Autobot leader and destroy the Matrix. If he hadn't picked the most treacherous robots in the universe to send it would have worked. Even if they failed, there shouldn't have been a trail back to him to make problems for him.

He doesn't start threatening Cybertron until Galvatron starts rebelling, and it's a sort of "Do what you're told or I'mma eat your planet."

Then Galvatron betrays him, and brings the Matrix back to him. Knowing that Galvatron can't use it, he basically decides to punish him by eating his planet.

The only dumb part is deliberately eating literally the only thing that can kill you, but it wasn't an immediate threat at that point. It only becomes one because the destined Autobot leader just happens to show up in a ship that they crash into his eye. Which gives them the opportunity and motivation to find and use the Matrix in time.

If pretty much anything happened differently in the movie, the good guys lose. If the one group doesn't find the Junkions and save Ultra Magnus, they lose. If the other group gets killed by the Quintessons (or just take too long to escape), they lose. If Hot Rod gets killed by Unicron's internal defenses, gets killed by Galvatron, or just gets lost inside of Unicron/doesn't meet Galvatron, they lose. If Galvatron behaves, they lose. If Unicron just happens to go a different way on his travels, he misses the Decepticons, never sends them, and the good guys never have a chance to stop him. And so on.

It basically takes a ridiculous chain of unlikely events strung together to set up the exact scenario that defeats him.

You're not wrong but he technically alerted the Autobots as soon as he started eating the Cybertron moons. Maybe he legitimately didn't know they were Autobot bases?

Saitama's power actually is finite, but is shown to increase exponentially over time

So he has a limit, but no one can ever match it

Anything extra dimensional could probably kill him or send him to another universe.

He doesn't eat them until after he's already created Galvatron, at a time when the Autobots technically can't use the Matrix (because the wrong person has it).

It's hard to tell because the timing of events in the movies is so inexact (and the writers definitely didn't care about the details all that much), and they never really specify just how Unicron actually travels through the universe (and at what speed), but it's kind of implied that Unicron followed Galvatron back to Cybertron to make sure he kept his end of the bargain - and ate the moons as a deliberate threat (ie, "If you don't do your job I'mma gonna eat your planet.").

Even as-is in the film, the only reason the Autobots have even the remotest idea of what Unicron is is because Hot Rod and Kup get lucky and crash on the Quintessons' world, where they talk to the one person in the entire universe who can apparently even tell them that much. While at the same time Ultra Magnus loses the Matrix to Galvatron, who takes it to Unicron, where it's then passed to Hot Rod.

If they miss or fail even ONE of those steps, they lose. And even if they DO every one of those steps, but Galvatron decides to just shoot Hot Rod rather than trying to choke him out, they lose.

It's the kind of ridiculous chain of coincidences that most fantasy movies will just shrug away as being "fate" or "destiny", and the Star Wars films can only justify with "Umm, it was the WILL OF THE FORCE. Woooo!"

It's the kind of plot a railroading GM comes up with in an RPG.


(It's also worth remembering that the Autobots have NO IDEA how to actually BEAT Unicron even right up to the very moment they succeed. Hot Rod blurts out that the Matrix can stop him, but that's just gut instinct, and none of the others really seem to take him all that seriously. And none of them knew how to use it anyway. It's pretty much pure luck that the exact right person grabs it while getting choked out by Galvatron.)

Actually, the answer to this is very simple. It depends on who is writing him. If it's Murata or ONE writing it, Saitama is an unstoppable mistake of nature who can kill anyone, even god. If it's Toriyama or someone else writing it, Saitama is scaled based on his best feats which probably tops him out at Full Power Super Saiyan level

This is a fallacy. I can't remember what it's called. But if you want to play it like that, any Shinigami (Soul Reaper) would stalemate Unicron because Unicron can't see them and they can only be hurt by magic or attacks that damage/destroy the soul. So there.
