this isn't a "saitama squared" situation where 2 different saitamas fused into one being lol.
after saitama went back in time and dropped the technique, his future self just consolidated with his past self in order to sync back up with the past. there is no implication that saitama became more powerful by doing this. it is just saitama as he was seen before the last fight with garou took place. he has no memory of any of those events.

serious question- what does cis off even mean for a character like saitama? his whole gimmick since the series first started is gag level stupidity. he always lets attacks from his opponents hit him. he always holds back against his opponents. he always monologues during the fights, etc. this is an absolute constant..... and its not like the guy can sense ki or whatever. he just sort of assumes he is the strongest, and therefore thinks he can tank everything and drop everyone (which in HIS universe happens to be true). but that kind of mindset means nothing against comic characters OUTSIDE the opm universe.
so is the intent of this thread JUST to discuss naked / IO saitama? because that is literally the only time he's been "cis free", and getting him to that state took several plot pieces falling into the right place at the right time. like some others have said- he doesnt just start off there. ever.
Garou would be high Herald/trans tier in Marvel/DC and he's fodder to Saitama. So it's not just his universe, it's period. Saitama has stood in one spot and tanked punches from 100 tonners. He deserves the hype he gets.
okay. but my point is that saitama getting to that level happened over the course of the entire fight, and it took several plot conveniences to get him there. it was a gradual progression, not some sort of instantaneous powerup that he blinked into.
so like i asked- how does "no cis" apply to a complete gag character like saitama? because that is literally how he ALWAYS fights. he starts off at his normal level, lets the other guy beat on him a bit, throws in a dash of quippy one liners, then starts tapping more of his power until he wins...... even against a "god level" threat like cosmic garou.
if we are JUST using saitama as he was fighting on IO (Ie. the absolute highest level we've ever seen him), then so be it. but it does need clarification, because the no cis concept is hard to wrap my head around when it comes to saitama. the guy is the essence of cis.
you miss the point. yes saitama is very powerful by any metric, and can beat anyone in the opm universe. but that way of thinking doesnt automatically cross over to comic characters.
