Goku sneezes and accidentally destroys the galaxy. Saitama is strong, but he's never had to fight someone who can literally break reality with a scream.

"Break reality"? Saitama sneezed away Jupiter's atmosphere bro. Sit down.
Jupiter ≠ Universe 7. Goku has been fighting gods since Saitama was looking for grocery sales.
Saitama grabbed hyperspace gates and kicked them. Physics doesn't apply to him either.
Saitama wins because his whole character concept is "he beats everyone in one punch." That's literally the joke. Goku fans take power scaling way too seriously.
So by that logic, Saitama beats Zeno? The author? God? It's a gag, not a feat.
Yes. That is exactly the point. He is a parody character. He wins because it's funnier that way.
But in a "Who Would Win" debate, you can't just say "he wins because he's the main character." That's boring.
Goku has Ultra Instinct. He dodges everything. Saitama couldn't even land a hit.
Saitama has literally never been hurt. Not a scratch. We've seen Goku die multiple times. Math speaks for itself.
The author of One Punch Man literally said Saitama operates at full power with no limiter. Goku has limits he keeps breaking. Saitama has none.
Limiters don't matter when Goku breaks them every arc. That's his whole thing.
But Goku has to work for it. Saitama is just already there. That's the difference.
Saitama broke his limiter. Goku keeps moving his. Different mechanics.
Goku can destroy a universe with a punch. Saitama destroyed a mountain. The scale isn't even comparable.
Saitama's whole deal is being bored because no one can challenge him. Goku would finally give him what he wants. Saitama wins the long game because he grows mid-fight.
Goku in MUI fought Jiren, who was stronger than a God of Destruction. What is Saitama's best feat? Fighting a bald alien? C'mon now.
I love Goku, but the man died to a heart virus. Saitama's immune system would probably just one-punch the virus.
Goku's combat IQ is insane. He figures out his opponent's weakness in seconds. Saitama has zero technique. It's just raw power.
That's the scary part. Saitama has zero technique and still never loses. Imagine if he actually tried to learn martial arts.
He doesn't try because he doesn't need to. Against Goku, he'd actually need to. And he can't.
"Zero technique" bro he literally recreated time travel by copying someone. He adapts instantly.
Hydrogen bomb vs. Coughing baby. Goku neg diffs. Stop this.
Saitama's whole narrative is that he's beyond understanding. Goku is still bound by shonen rules. Saitama wins because he exists outside the genre's constraints.
Goku has Hakai. He can erase Saitama from existence. You can't punch your way out of not existing.
Saitama punched his way into a spiritual dimension and back. Erasure probably doesn't work either.
Hakai erases body and soul. You literally cease to exist. Saitama has no counter.
If we're being real, Saitama would just be confused and then punch the Hakai energy like a volleyball.
Goku needs transformations. Saitama is always at 100%. By the time Goku goes SSJ3, Saitama has already ended the fight.
Real answer: they fight, realize they're both good guys, and go get noodles. Goku pays. Saitama uses a coupon. Everyone wins.
