My favourite thing is Genos competing on the "virtual battles that take place daily" between King and Saitama. As though their strength is so high, they can only spar with each other in a virtual world to avoid devastation to the surrounding area.

Yeah, you could see PriPri's former convict victims all were transformed into monsters. They're all itching for revenge.

The proof of true heroism. Other "heroes" like Goku and Vegeta would just go at it there and then and destroy everything, Saitama and King know they must not hurt innocents or destroy property especially Saitama's own so they spar in a way that's completely safe for everyone except Saitama's nerves.

King is an example to follow for everyone.

Given what he did to them, that's pretty understandable, really.

Also, holy poo poo Garou. That's pretty badass. And a bit terrifying, maybe.

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.

Probably yes. But keeping someone looking strong despite never winning (I think he only won 1 battle in the Anime, which was off screen against Armored Gorilla) is pretty amazing.

Speed of Light Flash. Probably from the same village as Sonic given their name style and the fact that 2 other ninjas are also after him.

No translation has ever agreed on his name, from Speed of Light Flash, Lightspeed Flash or Flashy Flash.

He's technically the lowest ranked Hero here that's not Prisoner but he sure looks cool!

He saved Child Emperor in this arc; that Gorgon-looking monster destroyed Child Emperor's robots, then Pig God just showed up by walking through a wall, ignored the snake-woman's poison bite, and devoured her whole. It was... About what you'd expect from someone with his name.

I like Flashy Flash personally, but if the going theory is that he's related to Sonic, then Speed of Light Flash makes sense to use as it's the stupidest name available.

Perpetually a Pain.
The thing with Flash is that the first form of illumination in his name is definitely not related to lightspeed, or the speed of light, it's purely a form of illumination. The joke is that he's so dumb he uses a redundant name just like Speed of Sound Sonic, but since his name is 'flash' rather than 'sonic', the translated version should be 'form of bright light that catches your attention' Flash, rather than 'metaphor for speed' Flash.

This is how Ultimateking explained it to me, anyway, when we happened to be in a thread together, after the "Flashy Flash" translation first came out and everyone, including him, thought it was dumb.

I suggested "Shining Flash" to him, and he actually thought it worked, so it's what he used on his translations from that point onward. I was pretty proud of that one.

It was. He was a surprisingly cool guy too; he was clearly concerned about whether Child Emperor was okay and was prioritizing the kid's safety with his arrival, and he hasn't shown any particularly negative personality traits the way many S-Class heroes have; worst thing he did was smash through that building (which is justified by, again, saving CE's life).
