<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMorever, Saitama is human and is made up of FLESH not diamond or Strong fictional metals like Vibranium, Uru or Adamantium. Funny enough, even metals can be SCRATCHED. And so, just as we saw with the attack of the pet, Torako in the extra chapter ‘Lost Cat’ and with the attack of the dragon level monster Nyan in Manga chapter 111.5 respectively, Saitama’s skin is still very much susceptible to impact. That said, can we then conclude that because Saitama’s skin is susceptible to impact, he can be injured or wounded? NO. HE CAN’T. Saitama’s 3yrs of daily grueling physical exercise completely shattered all limiters to his body systems. This includes his Immune, Musculo-Skeletal & Nervous systems, three of which are principally in charge of controlling durability, healing, tolerance and threshold for pain. Let’s look at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nSAITAMA’S PAIN THRESHOLD & TOLERANCE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPain threshold is simply a point or duration of a stimulus in which an individual feels pain WHILE Pain Tolerance is the maximum level of pain that a person is able to tolerate. The temperature or point at which pain is felt varies from person to person. But according to research, the average human skin begins to feel pain at a temperature of 111\u00b0C. At 118\u00b0C, human skin will sustain first-degree burns. A second-degree burn injury can occur at a temperature of 131\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DOES SAITAMA REALLY FEEL PAIN? AND AT WHAT LEVEL DOES HE FEEL PAIN?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe answer is YES. Saitama DOES feel pain at certain levels. There are two steps to feeling pain. The Biological step and the Neurological step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. The Biological step<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Biological step involves the feeling of headaches or the prickling of the skin that activates the pain receptors. In Manga chapter 115.5 (Redraws of chapter 108), Saitama felt pain after he took a dip in the Earth’s core magma. However, he quickly adjusted to the pain and shrugged it off. It’s important to note that the molten magma in the earth’s inner core is just as hot as the Sun’s surface with a temperature of 6000\u00b0C. This level of heat can completely burn away a normal human but this was the point in which Saitama began to feel pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n2.<\/strong> The Neurological step<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Neurological step involves the Brain’s perception of pain. Our ability to shrug off these sensations and continue other activities or stop everything and focus on what hurts is purely based on how much we’ve trained our mind over time. This is why athletes and fitness experts have a higher tolerance for pain than ordinary people who don’t exercise regularly.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n In Manga chapter 18, Saitama instructed Genos to first of all train his Mind before thinking about acquiring power through any means. This was no mean advice; as Saitama’s suffering during his arduous three years daily fitness regime was so great that in the end, he became a master of his own mind. Not only did he lose his hair, he succeeded in completely changing the perception [of pain] on his Brain. And so it became very easy for him to shrug off pain felt from extreme temperatures as well as any level of attack on his body. In chapter 166, not only was Saitama immune to Nuclear poisoning, he withstood Nuclear attacks with temperatures reaching Billions of degrees Celsius with only scratches to show as damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnd so, if molten magma of the earth’s core began to hurt Saitama at 6000\u00b0C, that is the pain threshold temperature for his body(externally) at that time. As for Saitama’s exact Pain threshold(internally), we can conclude it’s immeasurable since he tanked Garou’s Extreme Power attack in chapter 164. This attack had not just the power to destroy internal organs but could also distort the earth’s tectonic plates and affect dimensional space as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
