How Powerful Is Saitama's Serious Punch?

Everyone knows One-Punch Man gets its name from the satirical strength of the show's protagonist Saitama, who can easily defeat opponents with literally one punch.

Kyle takes a trip to City-Z to put our deadpan hero to the test in this week's Because Science!
