The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

OPM is the only manga that can consistently get me to actually laugh out loud just by doing setup > punchline gags over and over, but really well. It's like one of the best panel layout guys in the industry teamed up with a top tier technical artist or something :confused:

It would be really funny if it turned out King actually was the strongest around, he just didn't know because he never got into a fight.

Someday they will fight the dangerous Perception King whose opponents have the strength level he views them at. The nobody Caped Baldy is weak as a flea while King is a terrifying engine of descruction.

(Saitama still wins in one punch and is extremely frustrated that being reduced to 1% of his actual power isn't enough for a good fight.)

I've been thinking, King could pretty easily spin it as saying his powers were mysteriously sapped/deactivated during the battle with Garou, and now he's just a normal human. I'm not sure if he hasn't resorted to that because he hasn't considered it and thinks becoming legitimately strong is his only option left, or if his morals prevent him from doing so.

Lt. Lizard
Apr 28, 2013
It's definitely the latter. King doesn't like the misunderstanding about his power and doesn't want to perpetuate it, if possible. He only plays along when he gets backed into the corner and has no other option.

Babe Magnet

Is it explicitly a morals thing with King? It feels more like he just wants to be left alone and to stop being put in dangerous situations, but as long as he's the strongest human, no one's ever going to leave him alone.

King's having a Miles Morales crisis as all the expectations people are piling on him is starting to really stress him out even more than the monster focus on killing him for the rep boost killing the Strongest Man would do for them.

Do you genuinely think Saitama has ever used the word calisthenics in his life?

Well I can't speak Japanese and I can sure understand what he says, so I think you're off the mark buddy.

The idea behind King I think is that he got in way too deep and there's no time he can actually admit "oh um poo poo I'm not really a god" that isn't going to cause things to explode since we're shown the mere existence of King is a deterrent. If he stepped down/vanished/got outed then people would die and for all of King's flaws he is probably the most genuinely kind person in the cast.

He knows about body weight exercises. 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, and run a 10 k every day. I just used a fancy word for "body weight exercises"


edit: I hope Speed of Sound Sonic comes back into the story some time.
