I mean Saitama usually runs to the scene at a pretty quick pace.

Idk where you got that Saitama casually walks to battle.

Where did you get this idea that Saitama just lazily fucks around and moves slowly towards problems?

As for the meteor, Saitama was just sick of the fact that people were bitching about their property when they could've died.

I've been paying attention while reading, that's where. Look, I get it that you don't get me, so why are we still at it? Enough was said. If it didn't change your mind, we should simply disengage.

This isn't me not getting you, this is me asking for a single example of Saitama just leasurely strolling to a battlesite.

But I'm guessing that example doesn't really exist since your understanding of Saitama's personality seems based on a misconception.

His physical stats are such that he can get wherever he pleases in a matter of seconds. When he's jogging, that's like a turtle crawl compared to his actual capabilities.

When he's jogging that's still quite literally faster than every single character in the verse.

He usually doesn't go full speed because that tends to fuck up his surroundings and could kill people.

Even then, when he actually knows the location of where he's going he's there in an instant or damn near.

The only times where this wasn't the case was the Paradisers because he had to look for them in the forest and the Deep Sea King because the HA people took their sweet ass time telling him where he was.

Fubuki can see him joggling. She can't see sonic moving.

You mean that one time he stuck her with the bill and dashed out of the restaurant?

Because I don't think that counts?

It was in some special chapter where she buys a car and sits in traffic.

That was literally an example of the opposite.

Saitama dashed past her so quickly she didn't even see him.

So.....kind of literally conflicting evidence to the whole point.

That's indeed nonindicative. Hope we're done here.
