A popular Bilibili content creator, known online as “Tangzhu Lee,” has successfully completed a 1000-day challenge to replicate the grueling “Saitama Training Method” from the renowned manga and anime series, *One-Punch Man*. This endeavor, which began three years ago, has captivated fans and drawn attention from the series’ creators themselves.
The Saitama Training Method, as described, is remarkably intense and demanding: it involves performing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats daily, followed by a 10-kilometer run. Tangzhu Lee has meticulously documented his journey through video updates, sharing his progress and the challenges he faced with his rapidly growing audience, which now nears 800,000 subscribers.
On the final day of his 1000-day commitment, Tangzhu Lee pushed his limits even further, completing a staggering 100-kilometer continuous run. Following this extraordinary feat of endurance, he then undertook an additional 1000 push-ups, 1000 sit-ups, and 1000 squats, demonstrating an exceptional level of physical and mental fortitude. To cap off this monumental achievement, he adopted the iconic bald haircut of Saitama, symbolizing the completion of his rigorous training regime.
The dedication and perseverance shown by Tangzhu Lee have not gone unnoticed. Both ONE, the original creator of *One-Punch Man*, and Yusuke Murata, the artist behind the acclaimed remake, have publicly congratulated and encouraged him on his achievement. Their endorsements underscore the significance of his accomplishment, bringing a sense of validation from the very minds behind the character and his legendary training.


The news has also resonated strongly with the international fan base. Many overseas netizens have expressed their astonishment and admiration, with comments such as, “I never thought I’d see someone actually stick to the *One-Punch Man* training,” highlighting the sheer rarity and difficulty of such a sustained commitment. This challenge serves as a testament to the power of dedication and the enduring appeal of fictional characters as inspirations for real-world endeavors.
