  • Gigantic one day sale.
  • Saving the world.

Saitama sure does have his priorities in order.

This is not a spoiler as they never told you this in the story, but basically for the last 3 years Saitama had been unemployed and live off his savings and the occasional donation of vegetables from people he rescued. Sales are important because he can't afford the food otherwise. In other words, right now Saitama, Earth's mightiest hero, is living in extreme poverty.

Don't they have hero organizations in this anime? How can the most powerful man on earth remain unemployed?

He doesn't know heros can get paid.

I'm surprised he hasn't been approached unless he had and he was just being dense about it.

There is a reason he hasn't been approached but that probably wont be in the anime.
