My heart goes DOTSU DOTSU DOTSU GO GO GO whenever he's on screen.


I wish that we got his arc this season more than anything.

They wouldn't have added the King engine if they didn't feel the same way, but we all regret we won't see it until a season 2 is approved. And it'll not be until end of Garou arc.

Nah. Those are small tsu. Here they mean you kind of hold the o sound in your throat when you say it.

Which makes sense. We're looking at King. Of course the sound is going to get stuck in your throat as it tries to work its way past your heart.

The king engine really is one of those things that doesn't work as well in an anime as it does in a manga. We all had apparently pretty different ideas on how exactly it sounded, but I think it made sense that they ultimately settled on an actual heartbeat, given the eventual reveal.

True. I myself figured it should have been faster, considering the engine part of it.

Well, it isn't roaring yet. In the one scene where he and Tatsumaki were talking about how to approach the ship, his engine doubled in speed. I'm hopeful it'll be even faster and less obviously a heartbeat when he's in personal danger.

The King Engine is loud enough to be heard by bystanders nearby which makes it awesome regardless.

The king engine should have been raging taiko drums, framing it from the fans' perspective until the reveal of the true nature by transitioning from taiko drum to heart beat when he's in the bathroom making GBS threads himself with fear.

There's my hot take on this trivial thing.

I think the tsu is small, so it should sound like D-DO,D-DO,D-DO. Imho. Hard to tell sometimes.

I didn't like the heartbeat. It should have sounded like an idling Harley engine or something.

Yeah but it IS a heart beat and it would be dumb if it didn't sound like a heart beat

the "King Engine" is people rationalizing things that don't jive with their perception of reality, like why this big scary looking S-Rank hero's heartbeat is so loud it's audible to everyone around him, just like they have to rationalize why some bald nobody one-shots city destroying threats

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I don't think anyone ever thought he had a superpower that created a rumbling noise. That would be extremely silly, imo. The "King's Engine" was always his heartbeat, they just thought it was the heartbeat of a pissed off badass who'd murder you for looking at him funny, and not the heartbeat of a coward.

Agreed. This just looks much more intense than a quiet dud-dud


I think it would've been fine if the heartbeat was just way, way louder

If you don't adjust your volume during the intro to where the base makes your books fall off the shelves, then you might be watching One Punch Man wrong.

Tornado is the third best character only being eclipsed by Saitama and King.

King being the King is of course number 1.
