[Peter] Mjolnir is a powerful hammer used by Thor, and we've already seen the damage he can do with this little toy. But there is a problem there, Thor is completely unable to lift this weapon if he is unworthy. But what if it's Saitama?
Will Saitama be able to lift Mjolnir with just his brute force, really? Let's analyze this now, come on! Hey Nerd, what's up?
Peter here! Here on the channel, we've already submitted Saitama to several tests, I really like this type of video, right? He's already beaten Mob, beat Madara, beat Jiren, beat Hulk, beat Majin Buu, was thrown into the sun and survived, but now the challenge is different, and this is the video you've been asking for.
Yeah, I don't know if you were asking, but I was asking like hell. But you saw in the title: Saitama can or can't he lift Mjolnir with physical strength alone, or is Odin's enchantment too powerful even for that? But before you tell me, do you think I'm worthy of your like?
Bring it on! Guys, for this video to make sense, we have to start from the following principle: Saitama is not worthy, I'm going to put this rule in place, okay? I'm not analyzing whether he is a sign or not.
If we want to know whether or not he is capable of lifting Mjolnir with just brute force, Saitama being worthy does not help this conclusion at all, after all, if he is worthy, how will we know if he is lifting for being worthy or because of his strength? So yes, we are going to start from the principle that he is not worthy, because only in this way will this analysis make any sense. If you ask me "Peter, do you think he's worthy?
" I think, man, I think Saitama is totally innocent, pure, anyway. . .
the guy just wants to be kind, right. That said, we're going to go through a few layers, starting with Odin's charm. For those who don't know, what is written on Thor's hammer is the following: "Whoever wields this hammer, if he is worthy, will possess the power of Thor".
Just by that sentence, we realize that there is nothing really saying that unworthy people are unable to lift Mjolnir in physical strength, what is said is that whoever is worthy will not only be able to hold the hammer, but will also acquire the powers from Thor. That's important to say, because so far everyone worthy of holding the hammer has sort of turned into alternate versions of Thor. You saw there in the MCU, the Captain with those rays there, wow, too cool.
It already happened with the Hulk, with Jane Foster, in the MCU it happened with Captain America, and in crossovers even Superman got more powerful when he used Mjolnir in the Avengers crossover with the Justice League. But even if there's nothing saying that unworthy people can't lift the hammer with physical strength alone, it's a fact that so far, canonically, no one has managed to do so. In the canonical, okay?
Forget Ultimate, I've seen it there. There's even an animation where the Hulk did this, managed to lift Mjolnir with rudeness, only with force, but in the comics this never happened. So to know if Saitama could do this or not, we first have to find out how exactly Odin's charm works, because there must be some physics behind it.
There are two passages in the comics where Thor's hammer is used by unworthy people, and those guys are Magneto and the Red Hulk. For Magneto to be able to do this, he needed to manipulate Mjolnir's own gravitational field, and so he managed to reverse the effect of gravity, and so Mjolnir basically levitated, while the Red Hulk while he was fighting Thor, he took Thor and bounced off planet Earth, leaving the hammer in zero gravity. With zero gravity, the hammer was weightless.
And that already proves one thing, Odin's charm prevents unworthy people from gaining Thor's power, but in the end what holds the hammer to the ground is gravity, it's physics, it's Newton and the blessed apple that fell on that head his, right. From now on, we can see that the hammer kind of decides who lifts him and who doesn't. It looks like it has a conscience, in fact, not only does it look like it has a conscience in there.
When an unworthy person tries to hold the hammer and pulls it up, the hammer itself makes an opposing force downwards, and it regulates this force according to the strength of the guy pulling it, when nobody is pulling it, it just stays there stopped without exerting any force other than the Hammer's own weight. Got that? Like, if I put the hammer here on the floor, it has no weight, it's the weight of the hammer, of the uru metal that's inside.
I put the hammer here on the floor, it's there, it's the weight of the hammer. If you put it on a scale, it will be the weight of the hammer, but if I started to pull it, its weight will be according to my strength, adding the mass, the density of the hammer itself. Gotcha?
Did you understand that part? This would even explain that elevator joke, when they ask: if the elevator went up with the hammer, does that mean the elevator is worthy? So we realize with all these scenes that what the hammer does is increase its own weight so as not to be lifted by unworthy people, and when it identifies a worthy person, it does not offer this resistance, and even gives them Thor powers.
Now, if the hammer identifies that the person is unworthy, there's no way around it, it will act against it, the same force that the person is trying to exert. So if the hammer gets heavier depending on who is pulling it, then I can think of some possible scenarios if Saitama tries to lift Thor's hammer. The first scenario is that Saitama would basically turn the hammer into a black hole.
And the explanation is this: since Saitama removed his limiter and manages to make his strength grow exponentially when he gets serious with absolutely no limit to his strength growth, then the weight that the hammer would do in the opposite direction would also increase, but the we have to remember that Weight is equal to mass times acceleration of gravity, that is, if it increases weight, it necessarily increases gravity, but as this increase is exponential and unlimited, it would end up compressing all the mass around it, transforming everything around in a black hole. So, he is pulling and the hammer is pulling downwards, the force of the two opposing forces are so great that whoever was around would start to be sucked into this collision, to the point of turning into a black hole because this force is increasing each time. This is a mathematically logical and physically coherent scenario, but to be honest with you, I don't believe that would happen, and I'm going to tell you right now.
We already know that Saitama's strength growth is unlimited, if he gets into his serious mode, he can perform just about any strength he wants to apply, and that's because he removed his own limiter, and I'm not making that up, these are the words of Dr Genus who is the foremost scientific authority on the One Punch Man universe. It's not me talking about Mephisto here, that you keep accusing me. I'm saying exactly what was said in there, ok, in the manga, in the work.
Now reason with me. The limit of anything is not what it can do, but what it cannot do. For example, you go to the gym and try to lift 20 kilos on each side, okay, you can do it just fine.
But then you increase it to 30, it's much harder now, but you can do it. But then you try to do it with 40, then you can't do it anymore. Do you agree with me that you only found the limit of your strength when you reached a point where you could no longer lift the weight?
Yeah, that's the limit, it's that point that separates your ability from your inability. Ah, how beautiful, hey boy, wow! So I ask you: What is the limit of Mjolnir?
What defines who can and who cannot lift the hammer? It's dignity! It is the warrior's dignity that defines whether or not the hammer will collaborate with the warrior's will.
Losing the limiter, for someone who is only used to throwing punches, could really indicate that Saitama only has unlimited super strength, but it could be more than that, because Saitama has already opened a hole in a spiritual dimension. that didn't even physically connect with where Saitama was. That's a surreal display of power, okay?
This goes beyond physics. He has also managed to interact with dimensional portals that the Garou copied from Blast, that is, Saitama's unlimited strength is not only physically unlimited, it is CONCEPTUALLY unlimited, it is capable of breaking absolutely any limit, including the limit imposed by the hammer. It's like Hammer saying "okay, Saitama is not worthy, but you're crazy to think that my charm is able to stop his strength".
You understand? It's like the hammer saying: "my brother, you're messing with me, it doesn't work! My charm is for Marvel heroes, with Saitama it doesn't work".
So in a narrative sense, in which Saitama has totally lost his limitations, I would say that yes, Saitama could lift Mjolnir only through brute force. "Ah, Peter, he's a cartoon character! " no, it stopped being a cartoon a long time ago.
There's something very serious going on in the One Punch Man universe, and I think those who don't watch it are missing out on a sensational work. I think that if it's in pure physics, one force opposing the other will create a black hole, but I honestly think that Saitama would be able to break that force, that spell of Mjolnir in brute force because of the conceptual limit, that he can break any strength limit. Because this is the work, this is the intention of the character.
