My pet theory now is that Genos is one of the G-series robots (G1?) and Dr Kuseno disabled and modified him to turn him into a force for good.

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.

Where would one find this?

I was indeed. I finished watching it yesterday. It's glorious. They did seem to struggle a bit in making Saitama look drab, but they went all out on the Boros fight. The animation in general is top notch. No wonder people are worried about the next season.

It's pretty fun seeing this stuff from the beginning and looking at where we are now. There's been some definite character development, even for the depressed Saitama.

I do wonder when we're going to circle back to Genos' backstory and how machine knight factors into that.

I'm also eternally amazed at how they can continue to make Genos look awesome despite always losing. It never quite feels like he's getting Worfed.

I also need more Mumen Rider in my life again, truly an awesome hero. We haven't seen him in a long time.

Generally speaking Genos only loses to really really powerful monsters. Often we don't even know how strong those monsters truly are (like Asura Rhino or the mosquito lady) because Saitama stepped in and oneshot them

While he very much is the Worf, I do agree with you. And it's because unless it's for a comedy bit, they animate the gently caress out of whatever Genos is doing.

Gifsets of him versus the Mosquito Lady and the Sea King were what got me to watch the show, he always feels powerful in a specific way Saitama doesn't, just by doing more intricate moves with more focus on mobility, even if he's all going to do is lose anyway.

IMO the main reason Genos doesn't feel like Worf is because he's rarely clowned by a monster. He gets in good hits, stops the monster from harming civilians, forces it to change forms and reveal a new power etc.

So, even though he loses, he doesn't utterly fail.

Often he loses because he is heroic. If he had let those people die to the sea-kings spit he would have likely been able to beat him to death.

He has eaten some raw. It is apparently only raw monster king cells that do anything to your monsterizing wise, eating the flesh of already existing monsters at most just makes you stronger.
