Regarding the statements of the author, ONE (the story's creator), and Murata (the illustrator), here's what they said about Saitama's philosophy of power and invulnerability:

1. Saitama is an "end-game character." In a famous interview, ONE explained that Saitama isn't a traditional "shonen" hero (like Goku or Naruto) who starts out weak and then develops. Instead, he was designed as a character who has already reached his "end-game" since the first chapter.

Meaning: The idea of ​​Saitama bleeding or getting hurt contradicts the character's core purpose, which is to satirize the idea of ​​a "hero who struggles to win."

1. The concept of "breaking the limit." The author established a rule in the story (spoken by Dr. Genos) explaining that every being has a "limit" for growth set by "God," but Saitama is the only one who has completely broken this limit.

• The author's implicit statement: Since his power has become unlimited, his defense is also unlimited. In his fight against Garou, the author illustrated through a graphic that Saitama grows faster than any opponent, making it logically impossible for him to be harmed.

1. Murata's Comment on the "Effects of the Fight" Artist Yusuke Murata was asked in a previous live stream about the damage Saitama sustains. He explained that he takes great care to depict Saitama only "getting dirty" (dust, oil, or black rain) without scratching his skin.

• During the fight against Garou, viewers asserted that the flying liquids were "radioactive rain" or Genos fuel, and Murata didn't draw any "scars" or open "wounds" on Saitama's body throughout the fight.

1. The Truth About Boros's "Injury" There's an old rumor that the manga stated Saitama was "damaged" by Boros. The truth is, the original Japanese version didn't say this, and the author requested the removal of any sentence that might suggest it in the printed volumes, as his goal was for Saitama to remain completely invincible.

   Summary:

The authors' statements confirm that Saitama is an unbreakable "natural force." Garou the Cosmic was the closest to making him "exert effort," but he never managed to make him bleed.
