The following contains spoilers for One-Punch Man Chapter 161, "Stronger Than a Mountain," by One, Yusuke Murata, John Werry and James Gaubatz, available in English at Viz Media.

One-Punch Man's bald main character is known for his unparalleled might, which even the strongest characters in the series acknowledge. He is known to defeat each and every opponent he faces with a single punch, including villains who could potentially destroy the entire planet. Although that remains true up to the present, Chapter 161 of the manga reveals an interesting hidden talent Saitama possesses.

Recent developments in the manga have pitted Saitama against the monsterized Garo, a match-up many One-Punch Man fans have long been waiting to see. The ever-evolving Hero Hunter finally recognized the existence that truly stands above everybody else in terms of strength after exchanging a couple of blows, where it was also revealed that even the usually-poker-faced hero has his emotional limit. After giving Tareo his word, Saitama now tries to beat and save Garo at the same time.

Garo's onslaught of attacks failed to put a dent on Saitama but even so, he refused to give up. His monsterization continued to accelerate exponentially, yet he still felt far from matching Bald Cape's immense power. While Garo was having his existential crisis, Saitama displayed his usual calm demeanor -- only this time, he had a few words to say to his opponent. He inquired about the Hero Hunter's end goal, citing the fact that the latter cooperated with an S-Class hero he despised, then drove his point further by asking Garo why he was acting like a monster when he could be a hero.

Saitama's words managed to hit Garo where it hurts; he attempted to rebuke Saitama's claims, but the latter was able to hit back. From then on, Bald Cape continued to show his way with words, mocking Garo for unintentionally saving civilians when he'd intended to destroy Saitama. To make matters worse, those civilians thanked him despite how terrifying he looked. As Chapter 161 ended, however, Saitama is seen complimenting Garo; he compared his opponent to King, stating that both of them have the ability to help others without intending to.

One-Punch Man fans of have long known Saitama to be an emotionless man. He couldn't be fazed by the biggest dangers, and even his response to supposedly heartwarming situations is a poker face. That's why it's a pleasant surprise to see the bald hero giving Garo a pep talk -- while mocking him at the same time. It gives his character another level of humanity, an aspect fans can easily relate to.

Saitama and Garo's fight continues to bring out surprises as One-Punch Man shows a surprising new side to its protagonist -- a side that could potentially be the world's biggest threat. Chapter 161 yet again provides a new layer of humanity to Saitama's character at Garo's expense.
