He walked through an alley between two of the buildings, headed straight for the main road. Saitama thought he would get a better idea of what this place was from there, since that's where every creature would be.
Before he even got to the end of the alley, he could already see all the pony creatures passing the entrance to the alley, every one of them a different blindness inducing version of the rainbow. Then, while he was watching, an orange pony with a hat and a human passed the alley. The man was short, only about 5 foot, and was completely naked. He was carrying a crate full of apples, his face never moving from an uncaring stare.
"Wait, that's my thing! He's stealing my thing! I should probably be... worried?" Then, Saitama looked higher, right at the man's gleaming head. "He's bald. Sucks to be him." He says, refusing to look at his own head.
After the man walks out of sight, Saitama continues to walk toward the main road. Then, a blue pegasus pony enters right in front of him. He almost has to shield his eyes from the awesomeness colors in it's hair, which looked like a rainbow itself.
The pony puffed it's chest out. "Your bigger than any human I've seen... but that doesn't make you better than me! Your still a human." She said, obviously trying to sound scary.
Saitama just stared at her. "Ok."
She jumped, almost falling back. Her wings were out, like she was about to fly away. Her fur was also a bit spiked, like a frightened cat. "W-WHAT! I mean... Pfft. Whatever. Talking human. You're still weaker than me!"
"Ok."
She started fuming, literally. Steam started pouring out of her ears while her face scrunched in anger. "Stop it! You know what, let's settle this with a hoof wrestling match!"
"Ok."
"Well, GOOD! Follow me to my house."She started walking off, so Saitama shrugged and followed. They went back into the alley, and took turns into different alleys, never going to the main road. He caught her glancing back, before she finally spoke.
"My name's Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony in Equestria. But, how can you talk? Human's can't talk, they're just animals!" She didn't look back while talking, choosing to keep going forward.
"You guys are the animals." Saitama answered, remembering the larger version of ponies from his world. Rainbow Dash spun around in anger.
"No! Humans are animals, not ponies!"
...
"Ok."
Rainbow Dash gritted her teeth, growling, before spinning back around and continued to walk. Saitama just shrugged again, and walked.
They finally came to the end of an alley. Right in front of them was the main road, and in the distance, up in the sky, was a huge cloud, in the shape of a house. Before he could leave the alley, Rainbow Dash turned to him.
"So, human's don't talk, so you're going to have to act like that if you're going to go around undetected or whatever. You already stick out because of your size. And your... not nakedness" She informed him.
Saitama just looked at her, before agreeing. "I guess." The two of them walked out, right into the stream of ponies. Rainbow Dash was trying to hurry to her house, while Saitama kept the same pace he had. All around him, ponies were staring at him and talking amongst themselves. One pony even went up to Rainbow Dash, offering her money.
"Hey, that's a good human you've got there. It's one of a kind! I can take it off your hooves for a good amount of bits." He whispered to her. Rainbow Dash just ignored him and kept going.
Soon, they were in front of the cloud house in the sky. The both of them looked up, before Rainbow thought about something. "Can you even stand on clouds?"
Saitama just shrugged and said, "Let's find out." He bent his knees, and jumped straight up into the air. Lower clouds went flying past his vision as he neared the house. He stopped ascending right at the edge of the cloud, so he landed right there. Surprisingly, he didn't fall through.
He looked back down, and saw Rainbow Dash sprawled on the ground. Where he jumped, there were two footprints, with cracks spread out a good distance away. Even the few trees that were around were uprooted and pushed away.
Rainbow got up, shaking the dizziness away. 'How did he do that? He just, jumped straight into the air!'
She spread her wings and followed, flying higher and higher to reach her cloud. When Rainbow Dash landed, she immediately noticed he was indeed standing on the cloud.
Saitama pointed to the large and lavish house made out of clouds. "So, that's your house?"
Rainbow Dash looked smug, obviously soaking in what she thought was admiration. "Of course! It's awesome isn't it?" Saitama didn't say anything as he walked to the door.
"Hey, wait up!" Rainbow went after him, going inside with him. Saitama looked around, seeing the messy and out of order house before him.
"It's just like my apartment. When Genos hasn't cleaned it for me."
"Alright!" Saitama turned, seeing Rainbow Dash at a table with her hoof over it. She looked at him, and she was filled with... determination! "It's time for that hoof wrestle!"
Saitama walked over, and sat down. He took his glove off and put his own elbow on the table, before taking her hoof in his hand.
"Ready, Set, Go!" Saitama felt Rainbow Dash start, pushing against his arm with a surprising amount of strength. Her jaw was clenched, her foreleg shaking from effort.
But Saitama didn't budge.
He just sat there, watching Rainbow Dash struggle to move him. She kept trying to shove his arm, straining for nothing. "AAARGH! Why isn't this working! Just move you stupid baldy!"
A shadow appeared over Saitama's eyes. Rainbow Dash shakily looked up at him, seeing the dead look in his eyes. She tried to pull her hoof from his hand, but it was like the hoof was trapped in stone. Then Saitama spoke.
"Dont. Call. Me. BALDY!!"
Saitama pushed his hand at lightning speeds, throwing Rainbow's hoof through the table, winning the "hoof wrestle" but shattering the table. The table was just a pile of wood chunks the size of his finger, and Rainbow was buried under the mess.
The pile shifted, before a rainbow mane (manebow? mainbow?? Rane?!?) pushed out, followed by her head. "Hey, that's not fair, you cheated! How are you so strong!"
Saitama looked at her, before responding. "Are you sure you would like to know. To know the secret to my power. I have told others, and they couldn't handle the truth."
Rainbow's eyes widened, before shouting "Yes! Absolutely!"
Saitama closed his eyes, "Fine". His eyes burst open, and he shouted out, "100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!" He started breathing deeply, catching his breath.
There was silence as Rainbow looked at him, before she started yelling. "That can't be true! I do more than that on a daily basis! You don't see me shattering tables in hoof wrestling!"
Saitama simply sighed. "I knew you wouldn't believe the truth."
Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Whatever, uh... what's your name?"
"Saitama." He walked over to one of the windows looking outside. In the distance, he saw the town in chaos. All the ponies were running for their lives, while a group of giant bees with bear heads and four arms chased them around.
"Hey, Rainbow Dash. There are these bear-bug thingies attacking the town." He calmly told her. Rainbow raced over to the window.
"Those are bugbears! We've got to go stop them!" She flew out the door and down to the town, leaving Saitama at the window. He could see her fly off, a rainbow streak in the sky behind her.
"Bugbear? Isn't that what I said?" He left the window, jumping down from the cloud. He landed right on the indents his feet made before, sending more cracks across the ground. He started walking toward town, hoping that they didn't take care of the bugbears until he got some action in.
By the time he got there, all the ponies that were running around were all gone. He saw a couple of them run out of sight and into what he assumed was town hall. He kept going, headed to the sounds of the bugbears.
He rounded the corner, and saw the group of three bugbears. In front of them, he saw Rainbow Dash flying around their heads, along with four other ponies. The purple unicorn was shooting purple energy from her horn, hitting the bugbears, but barely doing any damage. There was also the orange pony he saw before, who was using her hind legs to buck the bugbears. Next to them, there was a white unicorn, using her horn to shoot the bugbears with... gems. Finally, there was a pink pony, who decided to shoot the bugbears with pies shot out of a cannon. Surprisingly, this was doing more damage than the rest, even if it still wasn't much.
As he got closer, they all turned to look at him, even the bugbears stopped roaring and swiping to look at him.
"Um, why's that human here?" The purple pony asked.
" 'N why's it so tall?" The orange pony from before said.
Rainbow looked scared, before she quickly spoke. "He's my new human! Y-Yeah, just got him!"
Before any of the ponies could question it, the bugbears roared again, reminding them of the current threat. Except, the creatures didn't attack the ponies. They instead speeded straight for the new threat, Saitama.
Saitama simply stood there, while the ponies started shouting at him to get out of the way. As the enemies quickly flew closer until they were right in front of him, he pulled his hand back, and punched the leader.
The bear's eyes widened as every bone in his body shattered, then the rest of his body almost disintegrated. The two bears behind him shared the same fate merely from the shockwave of Saitama's attack. All the tiny specks of blood and flesh that was left went flying off into the distance, past the horizon.
Saitama pulled his still smoking fist away, brushing off the one drop of bug blood.All the ponies just stood there, their jaws rubbing against the ground. Even Rainbow Dash was like this, since even she didn't know he was that strong.
He almost said something, but he then remembered what Rainbow said about humans and talking. So he decided to just stand there.
Finally, the white unicorn spoke before everyone else.
"What on Equis are you wearing?!?"
All the ponies looked at her. Then the orange one spoke. "RARITY! That's what yer worried about! He jus exploded three bugbears in one hit! I've seen some strong humans, but they can't do that!"
The purple unicorn started talking too. "That's right, it isn't possible for a human to have that kind of strength. Even a strength spell couldn't do as much as that, and I can't sense any magical energy." She started getting closer to Saitama, but when he flexed his hand, she scrambled back.
Rainbow Dash went over to him. "Twilight, just stay away from him. Everypony knows how you like to experiment on humans."
The one called Twilight sputtered in surprise. "That's not fair! They just happen to have a lot of similarities to ponies, so they are good for testing!"
Before Rainbow Dash could retort, the one called Rarity spoke again. "Dash, where exactly did you get this human? He must have belonged to somepony, well, somepony with a dreadful fashion sense."
Rainbow started sweating, her eyes darting around. "Well, I found him... in the forest! And... he didn't have that costume on, I just put him in it... because I wanted to, ok!"
Rarity lifted her head, pointing her nose at an angle. "Well, I can just make him something else if you insist on having him clothed."
"No thank you! I like the costume!" Rainbow shrieked, worried what Saitama would do if he got his outfit taken from him.
The whole time Saitama just stood there. He was getting bored, so he started to walk away. He heard Rainbow rush to follow him, shouting behind her. "See you later! I'm going to take him home."
Before they could get far enough, the pink pony appeared right in front of them. "But you can't go yet! I need to make a party! For both Saitama, and for you, Dash, since you got a human!"
He looked back at Rainbow, who paled. "Pinkie, how did you know his name was Saitama?"
Pinkie just smiled. "I don't know!" Then she bounced off.
Twilight then walked up. "Well, we should get ready for a Pinkie Party. But after, you should let me study your human, Saitama. He could be a huge discovery. Maybe even a new subspecies of human, given his size and... strength."
Rainbow rolled her eyes at Twilight. "Fine whatever, but no funny stuff! I've already heard a bunch of things around town."
Saitama looked at Twilight, who was blushing. "Stop it! Those aren't true!" She then walked off, while the rest did the same. Saitama looked at Rainbow.
"There's a party?"
Rainbow sighed. "Yeah. And we HAVE to go. Pinkie can be scary. But her parties are always fun, so this could be good." She started walking into town. So Saitama followed.
And Saitama can cloudwalk now, because of course he can.
9803315
To be fair, I had a good explanation for that!
Instead of pegasi having the magic to stand on the clouds, the clouds themselves have magic, in which the only living thing that can stand on them are flyers. Since Saitama is completely resistant to magic because of discord, he can stand on them. Just like how tables can be in the cloud house; because they aren't living.
I just didn't add it. Seemed too much of a smart conclusion for Dash to say, no offense.
Hehehe
I just like how he can irritate everypony around him by just saying 'Ok'. Especially Rainbow Dash
9803320
Huh, clever.
I don’t recall Saitama ever protesting that he isn’t bald. He gets mad at it used as an insult but he even sets out after Hammerhead and the Paradise group because he realizes if they give bald people a bad name people will think he’s a terrorist.
9803366
Eh, I don't know. In my mind, I remember him saying he wasn't bald once, but I could be wrong.
At least I know you watched the show.
9803378 In doing that sort of theme, you want the 'narrative' portions to be more solidly written, with the exaggerations sticking primarily to the character voice and action.
It's much easier to SHOW this sort of style in animation or graphic novel than to write it. I'd need to dig around to find some examples of stories written in this type of parody style.
9803418
Thanks. I'm gonna copy that and put it in my plans for chapter section, to help me remember it.
9803375
Yeah, losing all his hair was a side effect of the exercise regimen that made him absurdly strong.
9803440
No, what I meant was I remember him denying being bald once, even though he knew he was
👌
9803375
The first season at least. Given the sudden drop of quality for the animation in the second season I decided to wait on watching any of it till the blue ray is out. Least that way it will be the best version available even if it isn’t Madhouse.
Humans also have many similarities to my physiology. Which is why I experiment upon them as well.
They don't make proper cupcake ingredients the way Dashie does, however.
What’s with the fake fans part?
9803817
*sniff* was supposed to be a joke...
Heh heh heh...
9803441
Even so, I'm pretty sure his registered hero name ended up as "Caped Baldy" or something similar.
9803979
It's funny that he never gets the nickname "One Punch Man"
Discord: I am so proud of myself. So much wondrous chaos for pulling one new creature, and he just been here less than an hour. <sniff>
In my headcanon, bugbears are able to breathe swarms of bees, just like dragons can breathe fire.
9803058
I wouldn't worry about tit. I figure it's breast to just leave it alone.

9803374
I have my own theory on that, and it's based on the observation that a lot of the monsters that go around divesting their 'backstories' were people that became a monster themed with whatever they obsessed over in said backstory.
Saitama was obsessed with getting outrageously strong... and worked at it fanatically for YEARS . So he's ACTUALLY a 'monster' of pure strength.
Also, I'm voting Genos shows up in Equestria with the help of everyone's favorite master of JUSTICE!
He might need to learn to respect the pony society. As it stands Saitama might just take whatever he needs or wants.
"Oh I've just been craving tea recently... Hm, bet that giant fancy kettle on that mountain has some..."
9803937
Yeah, your right about that. I was mostly thinking on telekinesis, so far from reading ONE’s version of one punch man, anything physical can’t really do much to saitama. But it wasn’t until I read the cloud walking but that I should have edited my comment sooner.

Actually, it's simpler than that. Towards the end of the web comic, it's revealed that in that universe, everyone has a "limiter." Basically, it's how far one is allowed to traverse and refine their skill before they hit the plateau effect. Saitama's limiter was so small that through his workout routine, he was able to break it and gain infinite power in the process. The guy, in many ways, is Japanese Popeye.
While the idea of Saitama being thrown into this kind of AU is nice and all the writing here is too fast paced (and not in a good way) with almost robotic character interactions/character writing. In short it's not good a good/tolerable read :/ getting proof-readers editors shouldn't be so hard ya know?
I can't wait for him to one punch an ursor major
9805368
hmm...
9805823
Er... Hate to break it to you, but Saitama does not have to physically connect his punches for them to blow mountains away.
"And that's how Ghastly Gorge was made!"
9805823
You do realize that when he defeated Boros, he didn't actually hit him - what killed him was merely a shockwave.
We have already seen that he can easily jump back from the moon in seconds...
Bro, there has been times where he has defeated strong opponents by simply side-stepping so fast that it created a bomb-like shockwave lmao
You misunderstand 'infinite', Saitama can literally do ANYTHING. The point of his character is to always be more powerful than his enemies.
This feels very much like someone's first story. Hopping straight from plot point to plot point with little downtime, little detail, and little understanding of pacing. That being said, the author seems to be enjoying themselves, and the premise is something I haven't seen before, so I'm rooting for ya buddy.
9806447
*sniff* You know me too well!
9803513
Why is everyone so picky about the animation...? I thought season 2 was great, especially the fights.
9812842
A lot of people are more focused when it comes to one sense or another. My father can tell the difference between early DVD and Laser Disc just by watching a minute or so of a movie. Personally hearing is more my thing, but I do dislike when quality drops in the animation as well. There are a few episodes of Samurai Champloo and Yu Yu Hakusho that I can’t focus as well because the animation just looks so weird by comparison.
Eventually have like Sombra go up against him and have him revive Boros that would be epic
9813071
I guess I can understand why the quality of the animation dropping could turn people away from watching the series. Have you seen Naruto Shippuden or do you plan on watching Naruto Shippuden. I'm asking because there's this one fight in the series a lot of people hated because of the way it was animated, and I don't want to spoil it for you if you plan on watching it.
9815340
I’ve watched what I intended to. As much as I like the series as a whole I read the manga and grew tired of the more lackluster aspects of the filler.
Why is there no more of this it amazing
9815980
Eh, I have to be bored to be able to write. That's why I got two chapters out in two days, and got featured. Because I had nothing better to do. I'll continue when I'm bored out of my mind.
9815991
that makes sense i know how that feels welp thanks for responding heres a moustash
9815430
Yeah, filler is another thing that gets tedious to many people, me included.
Buck it I'm sold. I always liked Op characters.
Eenope. Saitama would never go along with this shit. He'd say what was on his mind and wouldn't give a flying fuck. Totally OOC. I'm out.
A little too fast pace for me, but that is NOT a knock on the story just a personal preference thing. I know not everyone likes huge chapters and super long stories.
Still an interesting premise and it got a few chuckles out of me. Here's a thumbs up, hope it goes well for you.
9803131
the system has no chance
"Was there ever any doubt?"
"Shush magic pony"
"Trixie will not be sile-
Oooh, thats a great spot, scratch more, human. Yeah, thats right, right behind my ears." *Snoring ensues*
FAKE FAN!? FAKE! FAN! BOI! I'mma tell you sumthin! I grew up with bugbears looking like this! pngkey.com/png/detail/275-2757670_bugbear-02-d-d-5e-bugbear.png
If anything, Hasbro has besmirched the name of the bugbear species, those proud... sneaky bastard goblinoids... Don't you go callin' me a fake fan.
For real though, I personally feel that the pacing is a bit off... such as why Rainbow Dash of all ponies has him, why she is so interested in keeping his intelligence a secret, and how quickly she seemed to know that he wanted to be a bit incognito. I would think that Rainbow Dash would want to brag about having the coolest human ever because he's super strong AND CAN TALK! SUCK IT TWILIGHT! I'VE GOT A TALKING HUMAN!
I think the biggest reason why there aren't a lot of good Saitama crossovers is because some people just look at the overpowered hero part, and not the person behind it, the guy who wants to help inspire others to do great things because he can't get any enjoyment out of it anymore. Fights to him aren't a challenge and he realizes just how boring that is because there's no risk to it, there's risk for him to be socially accepted because he can't just punch social acceptance into people. One's writing of him, at least from what I've seen and was done even better in Mob Psycho 100, focused on his interactions with other people and what those other people try to do every day. We know when mob shows up on the scene everything is gonna be done, it's why he's always last to show up in these desperate moments, its why none of the heroes believe he has the strength he does... because his actions end up happening where people can claim that he's making it up.
Genos is the only one that understands his true power because he's seen it, he's felt it, and he knows that if Saitama ever became a villain, literally no one could stop him. even then, he chooses to be a hero because he knows what's right and that protecting people from monsters is what he trained for.
the TL:DR of it; Stories about Saitama should build character, not just show off his OP strength... which is why I'm not sure the YHAY-verse is a good match.
9941712
Damn... I feel assaulted! I get what you mean, though. When thinking of Saitama, most people only see the OP part of him, which doesn't exactly go with the hardships of YHAY. To be honest, once I had already published the first two chapters, I felt like it shouldn't have been YHAY. In fact, this should have been a one-shot!
