Background / History

Saitama is a transmigrator who began his new life as a five-year-old Uchiha orphan living in a mansion on the clan grounds with Uchiha Kaori, whom he calls Granny Xiang. His parents left behind ninjutsu scrolls, allowing him to begin chakra refinement and self-directed training early. Though isolated at first, he formed a close friendship with Uchiha Shisui and enrolled with Shisui and Umino Iruka in the Ninja Academy. 1 3

He trained relentlessly in chakra control, hand seals, swordsmanship, and ninja-tool throwing. His early willingness to hide his abilities changed after he humiliated Tokuma Hyuga in a throwing test; Saitama concluded that strength had to be displayed at the right time to earn respect. His talent drew the attention of Uchiha Mori and Uchiha Lin, who recruited him into the Uchiha Guard. 4 6

After graduating early, Saitama entered the Guard alongside Shisui. His first missions exposed him to lethal combat and war, steadily making him colder and more ruthless. During the Sand Village conflict, he developed Lightning Release Chakra Mode, fought jonin-level opponents such as Shaji and Fujiwara, and began treating the battlefield as the place where he could earn influence for the Uchiha Clan. 9 11 12 13 17

Saitama became one of the Uchiha’s most prominent young shinobi. He earned Fugaku’s trust, evolved his Sharingan to three tomoe, became the Guard’s strongest member, and was appointed a jonin squad leader. His unit included the brothers Uchiha Huo and Uchiha Yan, whom he trained and led during the war against the Hidden Mist. 33 35 37

His strength and Uchiha heritage made him a target of Root and Danzo. Following a confrontation connected to Danzo and a battle in which Amaterasu burned away most of his body, Saitama was reconstructed in Madara Uchiha’s underground refuge using Hashirama Cells and White Zetsu-like material. Madara trained him in Yin–Yang Release and Six Paths techniques before dying, leaving Black Zetsu to accompany Saitama. 65 70 71 125

After leaving the underground refuge, Saitama acted independently as a rogue ninja. He killed Danzo, pursued jinchuriki, associated with Orochimaru and Zetsu, and came into direct conflict with former allies such as Shisui, Kakashi, Itachi, Obito, and Might Guy. He continues to frame his actions as a path toward peace achieved through personal power rather than accommodation. 86 100 101 115 129 140

Appearance

Saitama’s appearance changes considerably as he grows, fights in wars, and undergoes reconstruction. As a child, he is lean and visibly undersized for his sword; by the time of his early Guard service, he has grown past 1.4 meters and bears numerous mission and battlefield scars. 4 11 24

• Possesses scarlet Sharingan eyes, later evolving them into Mangekyo Sharingan. 7 64
• Wears the Uchiha Clan’s dark high-collared jacket over a mesh combat suit and loose cropped pants during his Konoha service. 57
• Uses a black cloak patterned with red clouds during his rogue-ninja activities. 70 115
• Grows his hair long enough to tie into a ponytail during his years of Six Paths training. 71
• Has prominent scars across his chest, back, and shoulders from missions and warfare. 24

Personality

Saitama is unusually mature, observant, and self-reliant for his age. He approaches training methodically, sees chakra as the foundation separating ordinary people from shinobi, and constantly evaluates his own weaknesses rather than relying solely on talent. 1 7 18

He is deeply protective of people he considers family or comrades. He helps Kaori with household work, supports the Uchiha Clan out of conviction, teaches Nagisa and Kakashi, and initially treats Shisui as both friend and trusted rival. 24 25 33 59

War and persecution harden him. Saitama becomes willing to kill without hesitation, rejects Root’s recruitment, and increasingly believes that power—not compromise—is the only dependable means of imposing peace and protecting what matters to him. 11 23 70 100

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan

Saitama’s Sharingan is central to his combat style, enabling him to read movements, predict attacks, and support his high-speed Lightning Release techniques.

• Two-tomoe perception allows him to identify Shisui’s real body among clones and track minute muscular movements. 7 14
• Three-tomoe evolution allows his dynamic vision to keep pace with his own increased speed. 32
• The Mangekyo Sharingan enables Susanoo manifestation. 64
• His Mangekyo ability allows him to regenerate from otherwise fatal injuries. 146
• He has used Amaterasu, Izanagi, and resistance against ordinary genjutsu. 100 145 88
• Excessive ocular-technique use still consumes ocular power and leaves visible strain. 100 145

Lightning Release and Chidori

Lightning Release is Saitama’s signature affinity and the basis of his swordsmanship, speed, and killing power.

• Can channel Lightning Release through a chakra-conducting sword to paralyze targets on contact. 9 12
• Developed Lightning Release Chakra Mode to enhance physical speed, strength, resistance, and recovery. 18 21 53

• His Chakra Mode can exhaust him severely when maintained alongside the Sharingan. 13

• Defeated or killed several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen through close-quarters combat, including Jūzō Biwa, Fuguki Suikazan, and Jinin Akebino. 52 54

Fire, Wind, and Other Nature Transformations

• Has studied all five elemental releases, Yin–Yang Release, and Six Paths techniques. 88

• Sage Mode enhances his physical capabilities and reactions enough to defeat Guy, Shisui, Kakashi, and Obito in rapid succession. 140
• His reconstructed body grants access to White Zetsu-derived abilities, including Mayfly Technique and an advanced Disguise Technique that can replicate a target after absorbing a small amount of chakra. 125

Other Techniques
