Saitama's powers have been explained in ONE's version.

Were they really? I never knew of this. I assumed he was a God or something along those lines.

Basically, it's explained that every living being has an power limit and that Saitama just surpassed his limit through training. The next arc's villain(Season 2's, if they don't do anything weird) almost does the same.

Exactly, from my understanding he literally broke his power limiter and his destiny with sheer will power, making him nearly godlike in the context of the anime. I'm looking forward to the 2nd season rival.

He already said it's from doing 100 push ups, 100 squats and 10km running every day for 3 years. I'm pretty sure the whole point is that it's so ridiculous a human being doing that would be so strong as a result. Not anything hidden that tries to make sense of it. That would ruin it if anything.

His first monster opponent became one from eating too much crab for christ sake.

That's not even that hard of a workout... I could almost do that and I'm a lazy anime watcher ( I could have done it while I was still in cc)

ONE has decided to visualize that plot armor instead of pretending it doesn't exist.

If you run 10 km every day youll eventually destroy your body

rikuhod said:
So far we have not found anything on origins of his power. However, it is clear that he was probably born with these powers.

As this series is a parody of american comic book heroes and typical shounen fighting genre don't you think they would try to make a parody of the most famous franchises of both??

Let's take the most famous franchises

Dragon Ball (Goku born with super strength alien)
Superman (born with super strength alien)

he just somehow miraculously break his limits (limit breaker)

its in the wiki, well its still just a theory by a character Dr. Genus. so technically from the franchise perspective, its not yet revealed whats really is his ability

heres a copypasta from the wiki:

Saitama began training to become a superhero 3 years prior to the start of the series after he defeated a crab-like monster that attempted to kill a child. His training regimen consisted of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats and a 10 km run every single day, while also refusing to use the air conditioning and heat to strengthen his mind. Saitama genuinely believes that this training is the source of his inconceivable physical prowess, much to the disbelief of other characters in the series who note that his methods, while obsessive, are still fundamentally basic workout routines. The gross disproportion between Saitama's training regimen and the magnitude of abilities he developed has led other characters to theorize that Saitama either possessed latent superhuman qualities that manifested through his training, or that his sheer willpower has removed his natural limitations to growth potential entirely, according to Dr. Genus.

And then Dr. Genus' theory was confirmed by Garou doing the same thing in front of our eyes.
