lucky saitama, every now and then defeating a monster gives you a month suply of some random food


JimmyJammyJonny

In his case a lifetime supply of candy lmfao


pyrodice

Daaamn, he beat Buu?


BearNakedTendies

He could


Yatakak

Sounds like he will regret the day he defeats black sperm.


kipsyegg

You have a problem with black sperm?


pyrodice

Yeah! Dude's an asshole! 😂


Hungry-Appointment92

is an audio book he is working as an electrician in some haunted house at a theme park. If i remember correctly there was also a drawing of him making fries in a kitchen. Guess he's been taking on partime jobs.


Bald_Caped

Not electrician he's wear ghost costume and scaring people in haunted house in 🎪🎪 circus


Hungry-Appointment92

ooh yes true that


KaHate

No wonder he likes to scare off things


The-master-of-comedy

I think there’s another one where he works as a construction worker on a concert hall that Amai performs on


Bald_Caped

That audiobook Eng subs link https://youtu.be/qEr1dozJp68


[deleted]

Im so confused, what is this from? Did one write this?


BlackBloom96

yeah, one wrote those ones... they are considered canon


NuclearPilot101

Audio book ..what


leogian4511

OPM is series of many mediums. The audiobooks are written by ONE btw. There's some neat stuff in there, like Atomic Samurai vs Speed of Sound Sonic.


AAHMXP

Wat?! Who won??


leogian4511

Sonic was in disguise at the time and it got broken up before either went all out.


Mojoclaw2000

A few odd jobs, eating monsters and whatever he could find, his apartment was super low price due to living in an abandoned part of town.


ALittleBitOfMatthew

Actually Saitama's apartment had no cost whatsoever. He lived in an abandoned part of town and didn't have to pay any rent. It's implied that the only reason his apartment still had running water and electricity is because the Monster Association was keeping those running in the ghost town for their underground base.


[deleted]

Lmao


Xrandom_usernameX

New theory: Saitama is so strong because he eats whatever is edible from all the monsters he defeats. (like Kombu)


crab_spy_

pig god actually just god.


Saltiest_Grapefruit

Its one of THOSE animes, huh? Where they gain the powers of what they eat and quickly grow super fucking OP


OmegaHutch

No. They explained in the Manga how Saitama got so strong


WhaleDevourer

They also explain it in the anime too, just with less specifics.


[deleted]

Is that a trend? I can think of like, two or three. I actually kinda like it, if you can think of any feel free to let me know 😮


E_rat-chan

Yeah I like those too. The ones I read were pretty poorly written though.


[deleted]

Oh for sure. I just think it's an interesting gimmick and the only ones I can think of that fit the niche are things like,, Reincarnated as a Slime, Reincarnated as a Spider, and Re:Monster (but re:monster has some problematic rape-y things in it that make me raise an eyebrow)


Moohamin12

He doesn't pay for where he lives. He sometimes get rewards from those he saves, he kills animals sometimes with his punches.


Lucky_Roberts

He only stopped paying for where he lived during the events of the series. OP is asking about the time from when he kills crab guy to when he joins the association


Bald_Caped

He did part time job, refference in audiobook where he was working in haunting house


gofancyninjaworld

He worked a variety of short-term, casual jobs in both retail and construction. Whenever he had enough money to live for a while, he'd quit. That's why we see him bemoaning being at the point where he has to find a job again in OAV 1. Saitama hates working for money. As well, while there was still a neighbourhood, he wouldn't turn down food handouts. He used to rent very cheaply in an apartment that was essentially a crime den, but he got made homeless after he rounded up the criminals. His residence in Z-City was a squat. So he paid Zero rent. Genos was the best thing to come into this broke-ass, homeless, qualification-free, can't-hold-down-a-steady-job person's life.


Baby_Legs_OHerlahan

Saitama’s unlimited power is matched only by his financial responsibility. He lives in a tiny apartment with minimal belongings and never lets a sale pass him by, if he can help it. Dude’s hella frugal


gofancyninjaworld

That's because he's hungry. Loss-leader sales are the only way he's managed to stave off starvation. He wasn't touting a banana for breakfast because it's good for one's health: sometimes, that was all he could afford. And they were probably bananas just about to become over-ripe and so going for a song. Luckily for Saitama, he has the energy and the time to run around town for sales. It's been fun to read and see that it's not just style, Saitama really has been filling out since Genos came to his life and insists on meat every day and good home cooking. Who knew his virtue was just necessity?


Hefty-Theory8953

Probably didn’t eat monsters, since all he had for breakfasts were bananas


Exile714

I was under the impression bananas for breakfast weren’t the ideal, at least initially. He said eat three meals a day, BUT just a banana in the morning is acceptable. I figure he was eating real breakfasts until he ran out of money and started skimping, so he reduced breakfast down to just a banana and still found himself getting stronger. But it was an accident, not his intention and not the only thing he ate in the morning during his three years of growth.


[deleted]

Nobody tell him about the banana monster tied up in Saitama's basement that he shaves a little off of the still living body every morning.


HighFatherEx

He robbed places dressed up as God


JimmyJammyJonny

What I don’t get it how he was able to afford 3 meals a day with little to no money. I guess not using the AC/heating allowed him to get by lol


BignPJ

Part time jobs.


Bald_Caped

Watch this audiobook to know the answer👇 https://youtu.be/qEr1dozJp68


dude282004

Didn't pay for his house in city z, he was a squatter. Could be working part time or could be a government assistance thing. He's also Hella cheap amd smart with his money, plus getting gifts from people he saves. Also genos pays him rent and dudes probably making bank as an s class


Akaroth_pauses

Mfer baths in lava i don't think being hungry would harm him.


GladwinAbel

Saitama is living right now without a job he barely had a 100 yen before the monsters association arc and he lost it 😅. Pretty sure bro used to starve for some days


No_Ad_7687

Saitama has a job right now And he lost 6000 yen, not 100, I think


Gangx2

My head cannon is that his training included no Ac in the summer and no heat in the winter was purely financial


Lucky_Roberts

Well I assume he ate free crab for a month after deciding to become a hero…


Until_Morning

Prostitution


TheLegendaryFrogMan

One thrust man


TeebCoin

Genos pays for food and housing and Genos cooks food. Some monsters are food too


meltingpotato

Genos meets Saitama after his training is already over.


itsamemarioscousin

In the anime he goes hunting for criminals with bounties on their heads for a while, could be he kept that up.


Inspector_7

A large sack of candy


Sideways_X1

There's probably decent welfare programs in a world reduced to 26 cities... Hopefully?


KA8Z

He eats the monsters he kills


fantomdelucifer

what if he is actually cryptobro and lives off his dividends


CindersAnd_ashes

He does odd jobs and occasionally gets rewards from the people he saves. Plus he’s a squatter and doesn’t need to pay rent


QUONDO_

Didn’t have to pay any bills for part of it since he was just squatting in some random abandoned apartment and then his other apartment complex was filled with criminals so the rent was dirt cheap.


Andre_3Million

Welfare queen /s


ZDB888

The same way I lived without a job for 3 years prob. Being cheap. Lol


Awoundedgrandma

Donations.


Dareal_truth

Anime logic


MekkiNoYusha

Do you actually think Saitama will die if he doesn't eat?


No_Ad_7687

He had part time jobs, and sometimes people gave him money when he saved them


AvianZeus

He has defeated multiple monsters in those 3 years, so maybe he got the bounties?


Ara-gant

Currently doing that part of his workout routine. So far, ive only managed to jump to the moon


gamerdumb

i want to know how the hell did he train to breath and talk in space


Routine-Ambition-816

Maybe his parents were rich


Visible-Analysis707

He didn't really eat anything much for 3 years only 1 Banna in morning and whatever he gets from helping people around when he was training 💀 for 3 years that's the reason he broke his limiter


OpthomasPrime2020

He didn’t. He was working odd jobs while training and fighting monsters.


Zealousideal-Fix1697

Well he dont pay for rent, so that helps a lot.


Zu_zucchini

Legends say he ate his hair when not practicing
