Tornado is good because instead of being a sulk her first big moment was with the king of land monsters.

She's not my favorite but I think she's a cool character because of her complex with Tornado, which the ONE version adds to later on.

Fubuki is mainly 'best girl' by the process of this manga only having two girls in it, and Tornado is a major jerk.

But even when they're the only two in the running, Tornado is the better character because Fubuki's entire character is based on her relationship with Tornado.

It's honestly my only complaint with ONE's works, there need to be more cool girls in these stories.

Absolutely. Like, every girl who is actually in his stories is really really good. Fubuki and Tatsumaki have a really involved and personal conflict, Tsuchi (Claw punch girl) is so cool and such a good role model, Tome is hilarious and gloomy, Mezato is driven and clever. They're really good characters who all have their own things going on.

It's just, there's only around 1 female character for every 12 or so male characters and I wish that ratio was less skewed.

For me, it's that none of the cool ladies really do anything of importance. There are great arcs for Tatsumaki coming up, but even during the Boros arc, she just flings the shells back at Boros' ship which....doesn't do anything, it's Saitama landing on the ship that causes it to crash. Which I guess you could say is part of the Joke of OPM but meanwhile on the ground, it's a loving McDonalds playplace of boys as they fight that goopy dude in a sick rear end fight.

In Mob, the closest we get is like Mezato leading the Psycho Helmet stuff I guess? and that's cool.'

This kinda stuff is nothing new for manga or fiction really, so I'm not just calling ONE out here, but he has many cool, developed and fun women and I want to see more of em really.

Mumen Rider too. Some of the heroes do get it.

Mumen Rider's interesting since, while he's Saitama's friend... he's not really drawn into Saitama's orbit like the other people who get it. Like, Fubuki and Genos and King (and even Bang), they go well out of their way to spend time with Saitama. He's an important part of their understanding of the world.

Meanwhile, the BICYCLIST FOR JUSTICE knows Saitama is the realest of real deals, but it doesn't change his life much. Sure, they hang out when they both have some time, but mostly he's got C-class duties, and Saitama's doing whatever he's doing, and you know. Keeps them both busy beyond maybe meeting for a bite to eat sometime.

Mumen Rider is pretty much immune to Hero Organization power jockeying. It's kind of impressive.

King is the best character in the whole series. King's taste in video games is also impeccable.

I think you're selling her short. I find Fubiki's role as this half Mafioso half bancho gang leader figure fascinating for a few reasons. For one, it makes perfect sense that an occupation as violent as a professional hero would lead to such groups forming. For another, it speaks about the greater Hero Association that they would tacitly permit such groups. A a superhero street gang is also something that doesn't really have an equivalent in western comics that I can think of--at least, not one so transparent or played so straight.

I like her relationship with her sister, as well. You can see how it's deeply affected her, beyond just a sense of inadequacy, and also how it lead to her becoming this superhero Godmother figure.

So while Fubuki might not be as cool as Mumen Rider or Bang (to say nothing about King), she's interesting in the way her character tells us about the larger setting.

I didn't say she wasn't interesting I said she was the least interesting because I'd rather see what almost any other character is up to over her.
