Saitama is the main protagonist of the series and the titular One-Punch Man. At the moment, he is the strongest character in the series. Now that he is too strong to find any fun in fights, Saitama is forced to deal with a self-imposed existential crisis.
Saitama, who was once only a hero for fun, eventually registers with the Hero Association to become a professional hero after learning that no one finds him to be a hero and protects his house in Z-City from monsters, villains, and other threats. He is now ranked 39th in A-Class and given the hero the name Caped Baldy by the Hero Association.
Saitama’s enormous power and bureaucratic control prevent him from receiving recognition as an S-Class hero. Administrative factors keep him at a lower position despite his extraordinary strength and abilities. This adds a humorous touch to the story by highlighting the absurdity of the hero rating system and the gap between Saitama’s actual power and his official level.
Why Is Saitama Not S Class?
Saitama’s hero profile number is 03402. He performed poorly on the hero exam’s intelligence part, which is equally weighted with the physical element.
If the examination had been a simple physical, he could have easily reached the top of A or the bottom of S. Sadly, it appears that he lacks some intelligence.
The second reason is more related to the people he associates with and his ignorance of the guidelines set forth by the Hero Association.
Because he spends so much time with Genos, the S Class Hero who is thought to be the source of many of his accomplishments, he becomes static in the lower tiers. Another issue is that he failed to report something to the Association; he took Garou out twice without reporting it, and he gave King credit for the Elder Centipede. At minimum, one of those ought to have been sufficient to place him among the elite of the A class.

Why Is Saitama So Strong?
Saitama started off as a young, unemployed man with a negative outlook in One Punch-Man. He thought he would never find meaning in life because he didn’t have any. He regains his childhood desire of becoming a hero after a fortunate encounter with a monster, and he begins daily training. What counts for “training” for him is basically a daily 10 km run along with 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats.
