One Punch Man – Saitama vs Elder Centipede
One Punch Man – Season 2, Episode 12.
As if answering King’s dramatic “Mr. Saitamaaa!!”, Saitama casually enters and one-punches Elder Centipede with a serious punch.
His deadpan face afterward? Legendary.
This is what being the strongest looks like.

My Hero Academia – Deku vs Todoroki

In that one moment, inherited power and personal will collide.
Not gonna lie… we cried.
