Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?

It wasn't just the music. The fight after Saitama landed mirrored Saitama's dream fight with the subterraneans (Boros' eye spark after Consecutive normal punches, the pose he strikes when he regenerates, the heartbeat)

Boros got the dream fight that he wanted while Saitama was left with nothing

There's also the sentai thing (and most japanese media i guess, going back to kabuki theater I think) where the hero is on the right side of the stage, fighting a threat on the left, and one part in particular where Saitama is standing as the spaceship inclines, so Boros has to go uphill to reach Saitama and continue the fight.

Literally everything that is the medium was thrown to make Boros the protagonist and that made it perfection.

Anime fan who spent the day catching up on the manga here, and Holy poo poo Metal Bat is the coolest loving dude and he is gonna smash Garou with his bat and send him flying straight through Elder Centipede and save the day and it's going to own a lot.

Also, King is really good and I am glad he seems to have become a member of Saitama's group of friends. I hope he continues to show up. This manga owns!

He's that kid who is literally perfect and can beat Saitama in a fight, is pure but has a naughty side, undying loyalty and an army of followers. I'm glad that Saitama joined his harem and the rest of the Oppai crew followed him.

cyrus_zane posted:

What would Saitama's S-class name be?

I just noticed some of the S class heroes have names that acknowledge skill yet still contain only a basic character trait (Pig God, Child Emperor, Tank Top Master). Maybe upon reaching S-class heroes can request a new name from the association and they gift you with a name more fitting to your new position among the best of the best. If this is true Saitama would have a chance at a newer cooler name that acknowledges his strength. However since this is the HA we are talking about they would prolly still get something blandly descriptive. So he would likely end up with a name that is half cool and half insulting.
This assumes that "Blast" isn't actually just a name the Association gave to whoever's been running around killing all the major threats these last three years, and they made that unknown person #1 in S-Class because whoever that guy is he's obviously the strongest hero.

The morning after.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
Might be funny if by the time they actually call in Blast, assuming he's an actual person they know about and not Saitama unbeknownst to them, he's so rusty from not fighting for so long they just end up jobbing really hard right before Saitama shows up and flicks the threat in the face causing it to explode into a blood mist.

Is Blast a mystery in universe too? I forget if that's brought up or if there's like an online bio with pics and poo poo that we just haven't seen.

ChaosArgate

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

I assume he's a mystery since Child Emperor's never seen him and was disappointed he couldn't at the meeting just before Boros attacked.

Nothing, because they cancel each other out. Which will be the moment of ultimate pathos for the manga, since both Saitama and Blast will assume they've finally found someone worthy of fighting and capable of giving them some excitement only to discover that they are in fact too evenly matched and thus can't get anything out of a fight even with each other. They'll go get drunk together afterwards instead. Genos picks up the tab.
