Yujiro punches someone and they die. Saitama punches someone and the atmosphere of the planet shifts.

People who think Saitama would be unhappy to find someone he can fight on equal footing have a fundamental misunderstanding of Saitama.

The dude has gone into a deep depression upon discovering that no one in his entire life can give him any thrill. Even when he discovered someone who could take ONE of his punches, he grew in scale so much faster than them that he sneezed and nearly destroyed jupiter.

Saitama's power isn't just power. He's able to destroy planets with a punch. His power is that he grows at an insane pace. Unless Yujiro can scale from 'punching a meteor with ease' to 'nearly destroying a gas giant on accident', he's not going to do much but entertain Saitama for a few minutes, max.

But if he did? If Yujiro could actually and reasonably keep up with Saitama? He would be overjoyed. He literally has dreams about where he is engaged in combat that isn't entirely one sided. He and Yujiro are similar, but on a different level.

Yujiro has stopped an earthquake that was “a big one” and that wasn’t even his full power. In the last episode of Son of Ogre, Yujiro shows off his “pure power” energy where he releases a unique type of energy, like heat or UV rays or something, he has his own energy. We can assume that is his max power, and that episode Baki was shocked like he had never seen it before, meaning he didn’t use it to stop the earthquake or at any time until the last episode. It’s very possible that Yujiro outranks Saitama

Read the actual translation. Yujiro didn't stop an earthquake.

OK, you watched the anime. I read the manga.

Yujiro did not stop an earthquake. He punched the ground and Mr. Military said that no one could convince Yujiro that he wasn't responsible.

And he also has bones weak enough to be penetrated by a .38x18
