Thoughts and theories about chapter 176
You know shit is about to go down as really funky when characters casually start mentioning divine power, when the only people who "know" about divine power specifically is Blast's group and OPM God.
I mean, at this point I'm just going to say that this is not even actually real thing that is happening anymore and more like a dream or some collective consciousness thing. ONE is just pulling our leg and is gonna pull the rug/plug at some point. But we can enjoy the shock and drama till that happens and pretend we followed some webcomic layout hah.
I had that feeling since 170 and this pretty blatantly breaks the rules ONE sets in opm about who knows what information. Information frameworks.
There is no conceivable way for Fubuki to magically know this. It's like some unknown entity is speaking through her or something.
What she is saying is really abstract information too. And then once she finishes saying it, Fubuki is horrified to see Saitama fall into the darkness of the pit.
--
You know like, if you fall for someone that hard, you might fall prey to dark emotions or something and taken advantage of. Loveen langennut. Not the first or last time ONE has depicted a person going through hell and back to save a loved one (I think it was Mogami from Mob psycho)
So do expect Saitama's emotions to also be taken advantage of, now that he's felt for quite a fair amount for Genos. It is very much hinted at that something more lurks below the surface.
--
It's honestly like some other entity is pleased that Saitama well, came along and managed to ascend high enough to defeat Garou, because this entity has given up on ascending on their own and can see Saitama's inner strenght because he has broken his limitations and acquired access to divine power. Has seen that Saitama is capable enough of going that far and did not die while handling that kind of emotion, so he would eventually have the mental strenght to properly ascend as well without having a mental breakdown first.
*rubs chin* Unknown entity speaking through her is a thought too. Like what happened to Psykos.
Who are the people who actually fought awakened Garou anyway?
Blast, Saitama, Blast crew...is divine power itself self-aware?
Did Genos core become self-aware?
Or does she mean that in order to "ascend", one has to feel love/emotions so thoroughly in their inner world that they'd get exponentially stronger from that. Since that's a source of power, it would make sense.
I'd imagine it makes a person vulnerable to god's machinations however. So that is probably a big no-no in the Blast crew circle. Be emotionally detatched at all costs.
Another hint is these elf-ears these characters seem to be sporting, because Murata-sensei is amazing at visual cues. The other character who had elf-ears was Garou after he awakened.
But what really sells this is that Tatsumaki on the right has the same flowing hair as Mob does when he goes 100% and Tsukuyomi guy on the left looks like Genos when he tried to stop the meteorite. Genos on the other hand, has those same hairs forming the same kind of pattern as Tatsumaki's loose hair.
So when you think about it, that's possibly a pretty huge hint.
It might refer to that Genos was probably given divine power via Saitama originally when Saitama accepted him as disciple (Genos and his yellow glowing eyes in anime) and it could mean that for Genos, there's two paths to take.
One would lean towards using the artificial emotions and power stored in the core, to gain more power and lean into his darker, more machiavellian emotions to accomplish what he has set out for, no matter the consequences or the collateral...his quest for revenge being something Saitama made him momentarily forget. And in doing so, forget himself. And become manmade "esper" like Psykos after she came in contact with God. Or should we say, godly being.
The second route, what he himself actually feels and how he feels through his potential empathic link to Saitama and gaining power via that and how much he cares for Saitama.
That is, in order for Genos too, to ascend and awaken. But path is never linear so might be a while yet unless we get a glimpse early, but I'd definitely love to see Genos the Retribution Paladin popping some wings (Avenging Wrath) and become Avatar of Retribution itself. Then proceed to Divine storm aoe all the evil things standing in his way. If he becomes a Protection paladin, he can Divine shield and Divine Protection/Blessing of protection all the people. It would be cool af.
Once you see paladin pop wings, you should run away and fast lol. If there's something Genos has, it's firepower and a ton of it.
