What's so funny is I remember an old animation about Naruto fans saying they believed they could run at the speed of light if they did 500 pushups, 500 pull ups, 1000 jumping jacks, and 1000 leg kicks. I think it pre dated one punch man. But the joke was so similar. And I can't find that video anymore. It was an ancient flash video.

Haha, it's a one punch man reference.

I really don't think it was. I remember this from middle school which was pre 2006 for me, or it have have been very very early high school. One Punch Man apparently debuted as a webcomic in 2009 according to Wikipedia.

Edit: I think you may have misread me, I know the thing you mentioned is a One Punch Man reference. I mentioned it in my comment, you may not have seen it. I didn't capitalize it so it doesn't stick out very well.

Ah yes, I meant what I said was a reference. Thought maybe you were misremembering it.

I never watched Naruto.
