That's not Sonic, that's God pretending to be Sonic to tempt Flash.

Isn't that just God, pretending to be Sonic? They'd be in their own temptation sessions.

Edit: god appeared to Garou disguised as Bang.

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.

I would hope that Flash is smart enough to see through this, but I also know he's incredibly stupid. I'm willing to bet Sonic manages to solve this for him in a very stupid way.

Vold holding back from putting a mind whammy on Sonic because he's worried about triggering the monster cell he ate is funny to me because it makes me remember the gag where Sonic got a monster cell but inadvertently rendered it inactive by cooking it first.

He wasn't holding back because he was scared of triggering the monster cell, he was rejecting Sonic as a candidate because he was weak minded enough to accept it.

I was also a bit unsure what he was trying to say, so I went back and read it in Japanese, and that seems to be what he's saying. Though it's a bit hard to tell at this point because it's not clear what he's hoping to achieve, and he's very vague with exactly what is "out of the question." Though I think that's correct.

Also, kind of wild that they didn't translate or give any note for "genjutsu".

A jutsu is a technique (or magic), it's used in a lot of words like art, technology, surgery, etc.
Here, gen is illusion or apparition etc.

According to Gnostic theology, the creator-demiurge IS the manipulative interloper/pretender, so it really would be fun if Saitama wrecks The Ultimate Reason poo poo Sucks.

Yeah but the gnostic demiurge still effectively made the material universe even if it did nonody any favors in doing so, that guy might just be some alien calling itself God

Oh I see what you meant. Personally I feel that would be the less interesting route (plus we've already had one ultrapowerful alien in the form of Boros), much more fun to have Saitama to punch Literal God (or at least Ialdabaoth) in the face

I think a lot of this in particular comes from typical localizations of terms like that end up sounding lame and/or being a mouthful. It's easier just to say "genjutsu" and figure your audience will eventually interpret that as "magic ninja spell" rather than committing to a term like "magic ninja spell" for every instance in the thing you're localizing.

Also, kids these days are allowed to know other countries exist with other cultures and stuff. We don't need Phoenix Wright eating hamburgers at a hamburger stall anymore, kids know what ramen is.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
The word 'illusion' would be appropriate, in this context. I would argue that the translators left 'genjutsu' untranslated because it works with the running joke of ninjas in this story (i.e they are exceedingly lame).

Saitama powerful enough to destroy anything in one punch, if he can find his way to where that thing is. Including the concept of badness.

Looking at the comments now, I don't see him elaborating anywhere. There were two questions asking "is this this future of the hero association?" and "is this the hero association and god?" and his answer to both was just "that's wrong".

It does seem to me to probably be the literal moon crashing down (not necessarily a big distinction from God in this story). The surrounding area seems to be completely flooded.

Yeah, I mean that it’s on its way. Not literally peaking through the clouds.

Not sure if it would be at the point of destroying buildings if it was close enough to look that big in the sky, but I would think flooding is likely at that point.
