I get the feeling that early, fight-obsessed, let-my-guard-down Genos wouldn't be as concerned as fighting for a greater good until he met Saitama who was a hero for the hell of it. I think there's a parallel between early Saitama and Genos now in that Saitama's breakdown was when he decided to quit looking for jobs and follow his instinct that was protecting that kid. I'd call Genos as an absent-minded hero, if such a thing exists, he has been written as a bit of a hero in the traditional sense since the moment we saw him but he can't focus for poo poo. He mentions how he can fight Mosquito girl now that every building has been evacuated, meaning he is super worried about collateral damage, and he gets startled when he realizes that Saitama would have died from his blast because he was absent-minded about it. He also decides to sacrifice himself even though he has a revenge mission. I think it's part of his character that he inherently cannot stand injustice but he's written different from other characters who think of justice in terms of justice (Mumen Rider even makes a speech about it). Everything about Genos is very brash and impulsive, so even his sense of justice is consistent with that. I think Genos is less self-aware that he's a hero than Saitama and Mumen Rider who both make a speech about justice and heroism at some point, Genos just throws himself at it. It makes for a good joke since he often is punished for his bravery, but it is very consistent and has been there since before he met Saitama.

I know it will never happen but I would want nothing more than toward the end of the manga for Genos to one day actually follow Saitama's 100 pushups training for no logical reason since he's a robot and then beat his fated evil enemy with one punch as all his hair starts to fall and we're never given any explanation why the physical training made his purely mechanical body stronger.

It is interesting that King was blown away but Kuseno wasn't during the hotpot scramble. Of course the mechanical enemy arc is probably going to be one of the last arcs just based on how much is tied to it, so we'll probably be waiting a while for the answer.

The way Kuseno talks to / about Genos in the latest chapter makes me think that Genos might actually not be human at all, it’s like he’s surprised his pet AI is making friends.

Could be Genos might actually be a demon level monster, just suffering amnesia after an earlier forgotten confrontation with saitama, and fixed by Kuseno to fight for good instead of evil. Kid Emperor is right not to trust him.

I think Kuseno is good, Genos is good and Metal Knight is the bad guy as the story leads us to believe but I would actually enjoy if it turns out to be some of the plot twists suggested in the thread.

So I just finished reading the DBxSaitama crossover. It was fun throughout, but I thought the first couple chapters were the best. Things just got too drawn out and serious once Genos got introduced, the gags were less inventive by the third volume. Dragon Garou Lee is amazing at recreating Toriyama's art style from the Saiyan saga, and flat ONE Saitama is still a funny gag that can't be that hard to draw. It just felt like something was off with the Serious Saitama panels. Like, he's a better artist than ONE, but maybe he's not as good as ONE at storyboarding to make doofy drawings feel epic. Maybe nobody can compare to Ultra Instinct Yusuke Murata.

Yeah, the King Engine didn't even get to rev up before he just got randomly saved. Artist didn't seem to get Genos either. At the end, even if the intended joke was that Genos was reciting the lyrics of Maka Fushigi Adventure, he has never rambled on for more than 20 words to Saitama since the first time. All the one panel omakes after each chapter were pretty good though. This one was my favourite.
