The deciding call

Why Saitama gets the edge

Saitama wins — his meta-character status as 'always wins in one punch' overrides Sonic's speed and Super Sonic invulnerability in a neutral crossover context.

Matchup context, every pressure point and the strongest counter-case.

Matchup context

Sonic's speed is his defining trait, but Saitama has demonstrated speed feats in the same tier — he traveled from the moon to Earth in seconds and kept pace with beings who moved at lightspeed.

Battle factor 01

If Saitama can tag Sonic, one punch ends it. And Saitama's speed feats suggest he can. Super Sonic adds invulnerability, which is the main counter — but Saitama's serious punch has overcome invulnerability before (his power is designed to overcome any defense).

Battle factor 02

The meta-question is whether Sonic's invulnerability or Saitama's one-punch principle takes precedence. Given that Saitama's entire character is built around 'always wins in one punch,' the narrative weight favors him.

Strongest case for each side

The case for

Saitama

Saitama's speed feats match Sonic's. His serious punch overcomes any defense by narrative design. His durability has never been tested because nothing has ever hurt him.

The case for

Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic's speed might let him avoid the punch. Super Sonic's invulnerability could theoretically tank it. Chaos Control provides time manipulation as an escape mechanism.
