Tatsumaki is a good hero. She said what I was thinking, I figured Flashy Flash could've ended that sooner. I imagine it's a problem with a lot of heroes.

Tats is interesting since, like a lot of the Hero Association, she's an rear end in a top hat, but unlike them, she's also an amazingly effective world saver and general do-gooder.

She's just a massive jerk while doing good.

I think there's actually a big power gap between Tatsumaki and the rest of S class and she doesn't fully understand that Lightspeed Flash couldn't have beaten the squid thing any quicker.

She doesn't get that not all of them are King, who would have owned the squid even quicker than Tatsumaki did, naturally.

It's a mix of power and reliability.

Like, King is the strongest man on Earth, but he's usually doing his own thing when people need him, so he's medium ranked. Child Emperor, meanwhile, is much less powerful but he's always around and that gets him number 5. Tatsumaki is #2 since she's a one woman army who's working pretty much all day every day. Like, her one-shot is her day off... where she's bored within half an hour and she just starts looking for monsters to kill.

I really wonder what Blast's deal is, since he's somehow in the number one spot despite, you know, not ever showing up.

Tatsumaki is definitely #2 in terms of strength, but yeah rank doesn't necessarily relate to battle strength. You'll get a decent view of how S class works in this arc.

Popularity must count because Genos has done literally nothing but lose and somehow isn't the last rank.

Who's this Little

I'm guessing Genos keeps ranking up because he probably kills a bunch of monsters off-screen, mixed with the fact that even though he loses a lot, he always shows up. He's extremely dependable, and that counts for a lot. Also I think he got primary kill-credit for both the Sea King and the Meteor, since he was the last non-Saitama hero to try to stop both.

It's weird that Metal Bat is so low, though, because he also seems extremely dependable. That guy will do whatever job the association wants, and while he'll gripe the whole time, he'll be there and get it done.

He's often busy with his little sister's piano recitals and the like. Means he skips on more minor heroing duties in favor of being a good brother.

Does anyone wonder if King actually does have a power, Like, the ability to cause problems that were gonna happen, and people who can fix them, towards himself? Particularly in ways that make it seem like he is doing it himself?

I know the joke is that it is all sheer dumb luck, but I feel like it would be cool too if some folks in the hero association knew, but also thought he might be like a good luck charm or something.

King's power is, and I say this absolutely sincerely, that he is The Strongest Man in the World.

I think Blast is either the father of that kid Saitama saved or the kid himself, who started the hero assossiation and put himself at the top to be cool and better than everyone else.

I think that kid's father is the guy who started the hero association, in response to his kid being saved from a monster by an unknown hero.

EDIT: Spoilered because i'm not sure if that has been mentioned in Murata's version yet

It has been! I think Man with Hat is saying in addition to that fact that the founder became the hero called BLAST and gave himself the number one ranking.
