CharlestonJew posted:Sekingar was able to carry like, 5 unconscious people to safety all at once, he seems pretty tough Saitama, before he ever went through his training and when he was still explicitly "average", survived getting sent flying 20 meters through the air and hits that shattered concrete. The average person's much tougher than normal, and remember that out of the thousands that apply for the HA, there's only a couple hundred C-class heroes.

Watched the first season. Read equally as far in the comics. How much further is the comic than the show?

Genos has already proven himself to be very competent, but I still feel like patting him on the back whenever he scores a kill.

Genos is super powerful, it's just that he's squared off against some of the most powerful monsters and gotten dunked on. Monsters that Saitama had to onepunch himself, like the Centipede, Asura Rhino or Mosquito lady. For all we know they were as powerful as Boros

I think ONE said that Genos would have won against the Sea King had he not intercepted the acid attack to save that girl.

If I had to guess how strong genos is, I’d say slightly more powerful than tank top master. But I don’t have any proof.

If that was the case you'd think he would eventually reach the point where he stops losing.

I consider it a series highlight when during the Genos vs Garou fight, after getting his arm ripped off yet again, he showed that he (or perhaps Dr. Kuseno) has learned from the past by getting the thing to be remote controlled. It wasn't enough to finish the battle, but it showed he does have the ability to improve.

Considering how absolutely bonkers the top S ranks are, Genos probably tops out at Metal Knight's rank. For thematic reasons as well (there's a nice cluster of parallels between them.)

Genos did really well against Garou. Considering that Garou survived a full assault by silver fang and his buddy thats pretty impressive

For all we know they were as powerful as Boros I doubt that anyone in the series so far was as powerful as Boros. Boros even had a prediction to go along with his appearance. However, it is indeed possible that those characters might have been stronger than say Sea King.

Besides the need to buy vegetables on sale.

I think in the canon from the books he's at very least a top contender. The first monsters shown are many leagues above the average monster we see later on and that's a great retroactive joke.

The prophecy could mean anything. It could refer to boros, garou, the monster association, or saitama himself. Or it could be something completely new. Or it could just be wrong. One of the strengths of ONE’s writing is that it can mean whatever you think is coolest or funniest. Personally, I thought it was the giant meteor that got punched.

Well Boros was a threat to the Earth. One of his attacks was called Marble Buster for a reason.
