genos is also a fighting robot with no human body. who never went to school. he has no emotions except wanting to strong

He has a second emotion and it's called blind devotion/respect for Saitama.

Saying a 19 year old girl who recently graduated high school and a 28 year old man who may be solidly in his career of choice have the same level of maturity is absurd. This would apply regardless of gender.

The circumstances for Genos and Tatsumaki are of course very different, but there is an age gap in terms of life experience that makes it just as skeevy as pairing Genos (19) with Lily (14). Focusing on them both being "legal age" misses the point of why an age gap can be a red flag.

And yeah, OPM isn't really a shipping series (ONE in general doesn't seem to have much a focus on shippy romantic stuff).

There is no prerequisite requirement to make sure both adults have the same "level of maturity" beforehand afaik. They only need to be adults

Yes it's not at all weird for a 19 year old and a 60 year old to be married because they're both adults. It's legal though! And that's what matters of course!

Anyway the only valid ship is Saitama x Sales. Get you a man who looks at you the way he looks at the coupon page.

Shut up already. Nobody cares, everyone here is single and dying alone.


Anyway I love how many people seem to be surprised that black sperm had two forms in the manga too as if that wasn't incredibly obvious. When has the manga opted for doing less than the web comic?

Even if we accept that King isn't actually the strongest hero, him just standing there neutralized Evil Natural Water, allowed Zombieman to take down Homeless Emperor and PPP to rescue Genos and Tasumaki. Kind of a big deal.

Like someone said before it could be misinterpreting what happened with Boros. It could also be based on other faulty reconstructions of the aftermath of Saitamas consecutive normal punches

Apparently people just think King can do certain things. Like one of the few times he managed to actually get his point across was saying he could not help get to the ship cause he can’t fly.

I could see that. The width of the beam Child Emperor imagined is probably a match to the destruction Saitama's punches do on average.

I was wondering about this, myself. When Boros arrived CE and King were both on the roof, and King told everyone there was nothing he could do about the ship. For CE to think he has this ability, King would have had to learn to do it after that event.

You can add Atomic Samurai, Iaian, and Spring Mustachio to that list. They were all moments away from being killed by Golden Sperm.

Being the only living person to have witnessed the unfathomable extent of his own power, is King subconsciously coping by way of a PTSD-induced state of denial?

Yeah, I get you. He's so powerful that he drains all the tension from whatever fight he's in. And then we have characters like Child Emperor making it clear that he isn't even trying!

I get he's meant to be the world's strongest man and whatever but I thought the heroes would have to think outside the box and win in an interesting way against Pure Natural Water, Black Sperm and Homeless Emperor, all of which are stronger than most S-Class Heroes, then King appeared and the fight was essentially over.

Jon Bois of Secret Base did a video once about the idea of Barry Bonds playing without a bat. The opposing pitchers wouldn't know he didn't have a bat, and Bonds still had his reputation, so they wouldn't pitch any differently to him. He went through every at-bat and found that pitchers intentionally walked him enough that his on-base percentage wouldn't significantly change, still being the highest in history. They'd rather just get the guy on-base rather than risk him hitting in a run, even though secretly he couldn't hit anything.

What I'm saying is that King's gimmick has basis in reality and is very good, and I think you should reconsider your position.

The first 3 were super obvious (though Boros could just as easily be SSJ 3) but I hadn't actually thought about the lsat two, but it's clear now what this means.
