I think he and Sonic might be related, because he did the exact same thing when Saitama countered his attacks at first.
Aren't they from the same village?

Flashy/Lightspeed Flash felt less redundant compared to other names but fair enough.

I mean, this is why I've never liked Flashy Flash as a translation, because using the same word twice ruins the impact of the theme naming. Hellfire Inferno, Hurricane Gale, and Speed of Sound Sonic all say the same thing twice - Lightspeed Flash fits the theme naming so perfectly that I'm always a little disappointed its not his English name.

Flashy Flash sounds like he's a show-off and also quick to me. Lightspeed Flash just makes me forget his name isn't actually Flash when I see it.

Flashy Flash is a genuinely bad translation, and always has been, yes. The joke in the Japanese, though, wasn't tied to speed, but literally in the 'illumination illumination' sense (just like Sonic is 'fast fast' with his, 'fire fire' and 'wind wind' for the other two) so lightspeed doesn't really work, because that would be 'fast illumination', making a speed pun with a form of illumination in the word would be too clever for the village of redundancies. Shining Flash was what I suggested to Ultimateking years ago, and he used in several translations, but the official (er, not original) went with the lame Flashy, so...eh. I know Flash isn't the brightest bulb in the Hero Association, but Flashy Flash just makes him sound like a four year old, rather than the dumbass edgy teenager trapped in an adult's body that he is.

I kinda like Flashy Flash insofar as it’s probably a dumb name the Hero Association thought up like Caped Baldy, as opposed to the actual tryhard name Speed of Sound Sonic came up with for himself.

Shocked I tell you
It was already confirmed that Flash comes from the same place as Sonic, as Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame confirmed it.

To be a mangaka on Muratas level you must draw 100 Normal Fubuki, 100 Getting Dressed Fubuki , 100 swimsuit Fubuki and say 10 Fubuki Besto Garl O Yea

Saitama is great precisely because they use him sparingly so its still fun every drat time he shows up to make people shocked at how ridiculous he is

We haven’t seen the serious saitama art in awhile either IIRC, so it had a little ‘ooooohhh poo poo’ moment where you think he might fight a S class

Saitama is not especially smart and doesn't pay all that much attention to the world around him, or other people. Why would be bother remembering someone like Flashy Flash?

I will forever appreciate the visual gag of Genos doing that stupid ninja run while Saitama casually jogs along with him.

Hey do you want that motherboard?
Sorry Genos; you tried, but Flashy Flash and Saitama are the comedy OTP.

So Saitama has 4 ninja speedsters who want to kill him because he "saw through their attacks". I hope that eventually he has like 20 or 30 that just follow him around as a mob and constantly get stuck in doors and stuff.

Are you implying that King would have any trouble with an opponent this weak? Because that's ridiculous.
