Saitama, the protagonist of the popular anime and manga series One Punch Man is considered to be one of the strongest characters ever created in the history of anime. His unimaginable power and strength can give a hard time to a lot of legendary anime characters. Saitama experiences a self-imposed existential crisis since he is now too powerful to enjoy the thrill of battle. So far, no enemy has been able to damage him in any way, and practically no enemy has been able to survive a single genuine blow from him.
However, there are still some characters who may be able to defeat Saitama, and one of them is Katara from the popular series Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Who is Katara?
Katara is a character in the Avatar: The Last Airbender animated television series. She is the daughter of Chief Hakoda and Kya, as well as Sokka’s younger sister. Katara is a Southern Water Tribe waterbending master. She was the sole waterbender in the Southern Water Tribe when she was a child. She was raised by her paternal grandmother Kanna and her older brother after losing her mother in a Fire Nation raid and her father leaving to fight against the Fire Nation in the Hundred Year War.
Katara’s most notable power was her ability to bend water. She quickly mastered the art, and her passionate determination to conquer the element helped her become one of the most powerful water-bending masters of her time. Katara’s natural talent for water-bending abilities gave her an unusual situation in which she naturally possessed the remarkable capacity to heal by altering the chi routes in a person’s body, including herself. But these abilities would not help her defeat Saitama. Katara has also mastered a forbidden technique that is known to be her strongest attack and could easily take down one of the strongest anime characters.
Katara’s Blood Bending Technique Can Take Down Saitama
Bloodbending is a specialized sub-skill and a rare variety of waterbending that allows a very advanced waterbender to grasp and control fluids within an organism’s body, allowing the bender to move the person’s muscles. Only a few water benders have shown the capacity to blood bend due to their severe nature. Most waterbenders consider the technique to be a dark art and rarely use it in warfare.
Blood bending would be a big threat to Saitama as Katara can manipulate the blood flowing inside Saitama’s body. She can stop the blood flow, increase the pressure and can even control the muscles of Saitama which would make it very difficult for Saitama to even flinch and he will be in grave danger. Blood bending can even stop the blood from reaching Saitama’s brain which could result in his death and would make it easy for Katara to win against him.
In a life-threatening battle against Saitama Katara might have to use this forbidden technique to save her life. The power of this forbidden technique is so extreme that she could kill Saitama in an instant if she gets close to him.
