Weighing in as a certified Xi Ping Knower™, absolutely not lmao.
Xi Shiyong spends his entire series getting paired off against people unfathomably more powerful than him and outwitting them through the power of insane harebrained schemes and his cockroach-like inability to die. He also absolutely runs on the rule of comedy to some degree. He constantly causes problems on purpose at the feet of powerhouses and gets away with it.
But it's so much funnier if he loses.
Late series Xi Ping is an incredibly powerful immortal, so surely he can avoid just one punch, right? He has healing powers good enough that he's basically unkillable, so surely it'll take more than a punch to stop him, right? Absolutely not.
Shiyong has to fight Saitama, gets all the pieces in place for whatever scheme he has this time, and has his array of even more overpowered loved ones watching from a distance with their own crazy plans. Then he somehow gets punched anyway in the middle of all that. His teacher would lose his shit. His unhinged cousin would lose his shit. Hysterical.
Anyway, I don't know if Saitama could actually kill him since you can't exactly punch a consciousness, but there's no way in hell Xi Ping's beating him in a fight. At best, we get a nice cycle of him getting punched, healing up, and immediately getting punched again. He'd lose so hard lmao. I figure at that point Shiyong considers himself irrecoverably defeated and immediately decides the only way forward is to get Saitama on his side. He proceeds to be incredibly annoying. More schemes ensue.
Can Xi Ping/Xi Shiyong/Tai Sui from Tai Sui Defeat Saitama?
Tumblr media
Rules: a character can only defeat Saitama if they
1: Can avoid getting punched, AND
2: It is funnier for them to win. Do not apply powerscaling logic to this poll.
Vote under the cut if you read the rules
