Saitama instantly handled them as they arose in what would become uncharacteristic timeliness, though. VM only seemed to have time to wreck a street before getting splattered, Beefcake instantly blew up to several miles tall and only had time to stomp around a minute before also getting chunked.

A street?!

Not sure if in the manga/web comic, but the opening scene of OPM anime was a bunch of heroes that were taken out strewn about (I think Smile Man and a few others) before showing Vaccine Man. So heroes were on the scene there.

I wonder where Sweet Mask is. With how strict he is about what an S class should be like, I can't imagine he's cool with this plan.

I honestly thought that was Sweet Mask saying, "Of course the commercial is great, I produced it" in the recent chapter.

Yeah, this was my point, sorry if it wasn't clear. There's no reason why Sweet Mask wouldn't want more heroes, but he's been very clear about thinking the S-ranks are a very exclusive club and he's the gatekeeper to it. Some random guy that doesn't even respect the Hero Association seems like the exact kind of person he'd never allow in.

sweet mask can block standard promotions from a to s. he can't do anything about the arbitrary appointment of complete outsiders to s class.

His problem is also he's far TOO self-sacrificing to the point of suicide for anyone not backed up in a black box, which is like the least problematic S-Class type trait (from the perspective of SM and the association at least)

My recollection is they told him they had invited a new S class, but didn't actually consult him on the appointment. He showed up and sort of interviewed Genos after the fact
