Genos is my favorite character and I love him, but the joke of him doing the most Main Action Hero Thing at the time, beautifully drawn/animated, only to get wrecked for it will never get old.

Was wondering why Genos was even in this OVA aside from a goof and now I feel Genos and Fubuki are sorta similar characters in that they both have someone way more powerful than them in their life, but Genos sees that more as an impressive feat and a goal to reach, and also Saitama is way way cooler than Tatsumaki

Saitama is very chill and encouraging with his roommate and friend, Genos while Tatsumaki is v. rude.

Yeah, the tournament arc is in a really weird spot between the Metal Bat/Garou poo poo which was amazing and the next arc which is also loving amazing it just feels like a long purgatory

Sidenote: I re-read The Sea King arc recently and drat, is that some good poo poo. Everyone in top form, License-less Rider, Genos, Saitama, all being peak Hero, it's wild.

The release schedule and format of Murata's version just isn't conducive to a tournament arc and boy is it showing.
thiiiiiiiiissssss

Not to sound like an obnoxious, broken record, but this arc sapped a lot of momentum out the story. I'm still interested to see where it goes, but boy howdy are we there yet?

Since most of this isn't even part of One's original version I can only assume it's gonna be a while before any actual progress is made.
Yeah, I don't see it ending any time soon. I also don't envy Murata for having to draw the next arc because holy poo poo

e: Volume 6 of Murata's art also came out physically in English recently, first half of the Boros arc iirc. Even though there's only like four volumes left total, I'm really excited to physically own the King arc onward.

My only problem with One Punch Man is that there just isn't enough of Genos being strong and hot, but this chapter is a strong step forward. Really happy to see Genos being more cautious, as was his problem with Mosquito Girl and Carnage Kabuto. After seeing Genos get clowned on for the past couple arc, good to see he is very much deserving of that S Class. The Yamcha of OPM, he ain't (i still love yamcha)

Yep. Plenty of pages, plenty happens and it's very well paced.


Genos the useless jobber is fine as he was, so while I don't mind him getting his time to shine in added parts like this, I don't really care to see him in the parts ONE has drawn because there are always a lot more interesting characters involved with those.
Oh for sure, there are def more interesting things happen than Genos, but he appeals to the dumb child part of my brain where I think he's cool as hell and want to see him win. It doesn't help Murata and the anime make him fighting look sick as gently caress, so anytime he's not getting worked out and being turned into modern art, I'm having a good time.

And he's still a player of interest in ONE's stuff, so it's all good

I dunno about watching the episodes in different order, but I sorta agree that starting with character who would be the protagonist in any other story is a thing ONE likes to do and the Genos' introduction chapters can also work as an intro. Mob Psycho 100 also does this too with introducing Reigen for half of the first chapter before Mob. Both Saitama and Mob (to a lesser extent) are just better when they have someone to play off of. OPM's first few chapters come across as a faster monster of the week sketch, and it's funny and a cool intro and a deeper look at the introduction of your main hero, but it doesn't HAVE to come first.

it's going to be two episodes of the King arc and then the rest is filler of King doing let's plays of dating sims

it's going to be very good actually

e: i literally cant remember the events or the order of them after Boros. There's like a fight with a Fubuki, and then Genos and Sonic fight too? that's all I got. Metal Bat is in there fighting a centipede or some poo poo. i have no idea, it's been so long, all of this information has fallen straight out of my brain. Mob Psycho 100 has devoured it all like it has devoured ONE's time

Expect My Mom

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.

Josuke Higashikata posted:

I kind of feel bad for Genos honestly.
He is a jobber whose purpose is to set the threat level for the arc. Saitama isn't really that interested in him, or anyone else besides K I N G on a friend level. Not that he dislikes people either, he just doesn't really engage with them. It's just kind of like he's superfluous because he can't fight so well and when Saitama wants to bro it up, he goes and hangs out with the strongest hero, K I N G.

Genos definitely wants Santana's respect and to be his bestie, but the competition is too fierce.
genos is trying so hard, i just want him to win anything god bless him
