I mean exactly what I said. In comparison, OPM is incredibly popular. It’s not more popular, but you wouldn’t expect a manga released in a single country to be nearly as popular as an entire comic franchise for the most famous superhero on the planet (movies, tv shows, comics, merchandise) that has existed for almost 90 years. And yet it is. Look at the Google Trends, Superman really only has outsized bumps when a new movie comes out. Other than that it’s literally competing with a manga on how popular it is.
When you say nearly as popular, you are losing me. Again, in my experience, I could talk to a random person on the street and they could probably tell me Superman’s real name is Clark Kent, or draw the symbol, or tell me he lived in Smallville, or any one of a number of random trivia. Even if they aren’t comic readers (myself included) Superman has firmly secured itself in the cultural zeitgeist. Meanwhile, I’ve never watched One Punch Man, couldn’t tell you what the main characters name is or what they look like, or tell you what city they lived in, etc. I think you may be hyper inflating the popularity amongst your own circle and projecting that into the world at large.
I never said “nearly as popular” once again, my words are being misread. popularity has nothing to do with “can a random person on the street name this thing”. I don’t think hitler is very popular, but I bet every person on the planet that has been to school would recognize his name. My google trends link succinctly covers this.
You should go reread your previous comment. You did say those exact words, which is why I repeated them. And to be fair to me previously, in my highest level comment I did ask you to clarify your words and you refused to explain so you are leaving everyone else to interpret.
In my interpretation, that’s what popular means: prevalent amongst the general public, in which case yes Hitler counts. You may be trying a different usage of the word, but you weren’t clarifying that. I would also like to let you know you are also coming off generally as a prick while being so antagonistic, hence why many people are responding the way they are in this thread.
newish manga/anime thats losing popularity every season and will fade away for the most part when it ends, ppl move on, they dont move on for comic heres man has been popular since 1940 and will be til 2040 and beyond same cant be said for saitama, we’ll see

Come back when OPM is still relevant after a century.
It will die in obscurity just like the majority of other shows.
OPM will be seen then like Tekusuke Monogatari is now.

knowing someone’s name has nothing to do with popularity. Case in point: Hitler.
