This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


Murata's the master for a reason.

Psykos has me convinced. Let ONE and Murata do the creature designs. And maybe I'll be happy if Square revives Parasite Eve, because this is final boss levels of design that I can get behind.

Tatsumaki gets an arguably better show of power in the sense that she just points a finger up instead of raising both arms.

Tatsumaki raised the ENTIRE Monster HQ out from underground, and she still apparently has energy left to fight. I think it's safe to say by now if not for Saitama she would easily be the strongest hero.

EDIT: ALSO GOD DANG THAT PSYKOS

EDIT2: Lil Monster Dude still stayin' alive, I love everything about those three right now.

I think Tatsumaki pretty clearly outclassed everyone else (except Saitama) in the Boros arc. I dunno if there's any way Blast could be stronger unless he's like Saitama too somehow, but I kinda doubt that'd be the case judging by the way the story usually goes.

Blast’s only power is clearly creating explosions of any size with his mind, but he can never look at the explosion because he’s a cool guy.

I do wonder if Blast is going to be a joke or actually played seriously. If a joke, I gotta wonder what joke it'd be. He can't be too powerful because that's Saitama's thing and there's at least one monster he couldn't defeat. Too weak but mistaken for strong is King's thing. The only thing I can think of is he's just too lazy to do hero stuff, but that's kind of a lame punchline after all the buildup we've gotten for him.

My favorite part of this was the fact that Tatsumaki can also do other things with her forcefields. Venting water out of Child Emporer's was the best.

Blast can create forcefield funnels and nuclear explosions with his mind. Nothing but his target takes damage and the radiation and shockwave is safely blasted into the vacuum of space.

Saitama is the protagonist, so it would make sense for Blast to be his dark mirror. Incredibly powerful but fully consumed by his depression and ennui.

Yeah, she might not be as strong as Saitama, but her power has a lot of practical applications beyond just "punch good."

Let's appreciate too that Tatsumaki's force fields, which were really more of an afterthought for her, were all enough to completely shut down all attacks from all these dragon level monsters. She could probably have soloed most of the association by herself without too much trouble.

I think being Saitama's mirror would make him super full of himself and boastful. Which would fit with being at the top of the hero association cause it seems like being able to sell yourself plays a part in advancement (just like real life!)

Considering no one has seen him in apparently years and can barely get in contact with him, that's very unlikely. He seems like a pretty shy, reserved person from what little we know.

It explains her lovely attitude all the time if she's this strong. No wonder she doesn't respect anyone else in the Association besides Blast.

That or he's off drinking and partying because he considers everything that has happened so far in the series to be beneath him

Blast is from the future and Memento-ing notes to himself and seeing how this all plays out; only stepping in when he needs to.

Last time, Saitama was able to find gainful employment and things spiraled downward after Boros arrived. Now he's had so much free time.

Zombieman or whatever his name is realizing that he should have put the localizer in his skull was a pretty funny and telling moment. Also the sense of scale was really good.

That said, Psykos has been introduced so late that it's difficult for me to care about her as an antagonist, so I'm looking forward to Garou getting to do some proper things.

I thought that on my first read; on my second I noticed Tatsumaki is closing the walls in on Black Sperm to crush him, Black Sperm is pushing against the walls and then Atomic Samurai is cutting BS's arms to ribbons so that he gets crushed.
