Anyone who thinks the ‘lesser’ heroes are weak has another think coming.  There’s an enormous volume of water rushing out to sea and yet not only are Snek and Mumen Rider able to paddle against it, they’re doing so fast enough to leave a wake.   And these are guys who just up and discharged themselves from hospital.

Also, anyone thinking most heroes aren’t ‘real’, here’s heroes, most of whom came unasked and unpaid, doubling back for the sake of a poor, no-name kid whom few would notice.

Rumour mill and bad public relations

It's not just the lack of information going out that seems to keep the hero rumour mill busy.

Saitama? Attitude problem?

Does Saitama have that much of a poor rep in HA that there's rumours circulating about him being an ass the moment he moved in?

Apparently yes.

Not just a fraud, he's a jerk too it seems.

Although he hasn't exactly given out the best image of himself to other heroes whenever he has interacted with them.

One occasion is due to his own arrogance about his abilities, which is probably one of the reasons HA knocked him down a peg by starting him at c-rank. Then his self-assuredness in his own abilities was absolutely demolished in the Garou fight, very intentionally.

Saitama is mostly a humble person and he never brags, but his confidence in his own abilities was bordering on arrogance. And rubbed other heroes the wrong way.

Saitama does not have to intentionally display his unflattering character traits in the open though. When he tries to be helpful, social and open and mingle with other heroes, he finds out that being honest and himself just doesn't work out that well and instead of endearing himself to other heroes, they end up disliking him.

Saitama being easily distracted and not your atypical hero who does not need to worry for his own safety, does not make him look like the serious type of hero either and a hero who just does not care enough, another point not in his favour. Attempting to explain his reasoning and avoiding confrontation is seen as backtalking too.

Other heroes really get the sense that Saitama only cops an attitude with them, is arrogant to a fault and challenges their leadership and talks back and generally a jerk. Not to mention a mission screw up.

Which is already apparently making more rumours circulate around how he's problematic to work with and making other heroes he has never met before make up their own minds before they've even met him.

There is one thing that can make it even worse however.

Genos talking about Saitama's unimaginable heroics can be extremely damaging to his public image. Everyone believes now that Garou beat up all the S-rank heroes and Blast or unnamed hero they don't know about beat Garou.

If Genos starts talking about how amazing Saitama actually is, for one, nobody is going to believe him and two, if they do happen to believe him, it will be seen as Saitama attempting to get some undeserved clout out of the horrible situation.

S-rank heroes are in the hospital and what does this fraud do? Claim he did some insane stuff like travel back in time and punch Garou in the face.

Making his already shaky public image even worse. A PR disaster. It can absolutely have very bad effects in how Saitama conducts his heroism if nobody will tell him anything and he loses trust of other heroes, invoke disciplinary measures and get HA upper echleon corrupt members looking for payback only add to the bad rumours.

And since Saitama doesn't even remember anything that happened, Genos telling things like that to other people which brings forth harmful effects, will only only further create tensions or even a rift between them if it looks like Genos attempts to unintentionally slander him.

Saitama wants to be seen as a hero and being seen as hero is important to him, that much he conveys to King. People should be able to look up to heroes and reputation is important when it comes to trusting heroes and Saitama has displayed in the past that he's willing to take the fall, long as it preserves the reputation of other heroes.

There may be curious easter eggs in OVA 2 about Don Pacino and his appearance, which forced the supermarket where Genoes attempted to buy a sale from to close, thanking the customers for loyalty. It may be a reference to irl Dom Pachino named guy. The same person also stole Genos' keys to Saitama's house.

Dom Pachino (born Domingo J. Del Valle in Manhattan, New York City) is a rapper of Puerto Rican descent. He is a former member of the rap group Killarmy and also has a solo career. He is also known as P.R. Terrorist, but he has rarely used this name since the September 11, 2001 attacks afraid that it may be taken the wrong way and affect sales.

It can be interpreted that slandering Saitama's public image can indeed affect the loyalty Saitama and Genos have for each other, get Genos kicked out of the house and make Saitama consider only working alone.

Saitama and Genos seems to be in for a rough time.

Does anyone remember those pride OPM headcanons I did last year? Yeah well I’m re-writing it again bc I can’t find the post for the life of me and there might be a few changes

Starting off with.. Saitama! Definitely aroace.

Then, we have Genos!!! I think Genos is aroace too, because I don’t think he’d be into having a relationship and is too busy with hero work and finding that damn robot that killed his family

Mumen!! I think he’s Pan!!! He doesn’t care about your gender, because fuck gender!!! All he cares is that his partner is a decent human being!!!

Badd (or Metal Bat)!! He seems like a homosexual that won’t admit it

Garou!! Same with Badd!! he is agender because who need gender!!

Fubuki! Bisexual leading towards females!!!

Tatsumaki! Lesbian because fuck men!! Also non-binary! (Like their English VA I think, is Corina non-binary? If anything they use they/them I’m pretty sure)

Zombieman is aroace

Amai Mask! Says he’s bisexual and leaning towards females!!

Captain Mizuki is definitely a lesbian!^^ I’m not taking other answers

Death Gatling is probably aromantic! And Agender!

Stinger! He’s pan! He’ll love almost anyone!

Lightning Max!! Bisexual leaning towards females!

Lightning Genji is demisexual and ace while also a demi-boy!

Gearsper is trans (ftm) and probably bi!

Needle Star gay

One Shotter is demisexual

Speed o sound sonic is definitely aroace! Wants to fight and definitely doesn’t want to get into a relationship

Flashy flash is aromantic!

Snek is bi

Golden Ball and Spring Mustachio are gay for each other! I will not be taking other answers for this too!

tbh a whole bunch of the heroes are probs aroace, I mean too busy with their goals and jobs

OPM Manga Review: Schemes and Heroes

Yup, this is the long-delayed review of updates 235 and 236, variously numbered as chapters 190-1 (Cubari) or 188-189 (Viz, Tonarinoyj). I've made several starts but somehow, never got far.

Summary: Slowly, then all at once

That's how bankruptcy is supposed to happen: the trouble sneaks up on you, and then suddenly, it's all falling apart. When it comes to the crisis of confidence that the Hero Association is facing, they've realised that they're in some bother since they're now struggling to get new recruits. However, things are about to get a lot worse.

We have Child Emperor, spurred by disgust and frustration at the Hero Association's faults and unwillingness to address those flaws, all topped with rage about discovering the pun that his hero name is, who has left the organization for the Neo Heroes. He's announced his new hero name, now known as Wild Emperor.

Zombieman has gone to consult Dr. Genus about possibly removing his limiter like Saitama has. He's concerned for Isamu's well-being and Genos's testimony is one he can't afford to ignore. The doctor has agreed to show him something interesting in the basement.

There's no question that the Hero Association is in deep trouble. We'd seen in earlier chapters that they were struggling to recruit new heroes. Now, we're beginning to see how they lose existing heroes. We see Snek given a brief to investigate a monster attack on a donor, only to learn from Isamu that the monster is long caught as it's one of the many monsters sold as exotic pets. Far from being an investigator trusted to handle a delicate cold case, Snek has been given some busy work. To say he's unimpressed is an understatement.

They still seem to imagine heroes grow on trees the way they're treating the most loyal ones.

More seriously, as Amai Mask tells the executives gathered to discuss the problem of heroes defecting, the executives have ignored Isamu's recommendations to address the shortcomings. He's got an idea other than ditching the HA: raise a hero to serve as a standard-bearer to inspire heroes to join and recommit. It's a great idea, but his choice of Saitama is going to be a hard sell from the get-go. Still, he gets the go-ahead.

We know that 'perfect' and 'Saitama' do not go together. Amai is about to find that out the hard way.

The next chapter starts at another meeting of the executives. And another shock defection. This time, it's not a hero, but Sekingar, who returns his HA-provided artificial eye and hand. He says that he's going to the Neo Heroes as their organisational details and plans for hero development are superior. He stands his ground and counters McCoy's accusation of his jumping ship to sell HA secrets to the Neo Heroes with some shade of his own, saying that he's a company man and knows no one trusts a traitor.

All starts to make sense once Sekingar picks up his new equipment and establishes comms with Wild Emperor. This is all part of a plan to infiltrate the Neo Heroes, find out what they're up to, and assess whether it poses a threat to heroes. Sekingar exits the lift to go out to the pick-up helicopter, only to find Metal Bat waiting for him. Metal Bat will be joining him as his body guard, after having been asked to do so by Sicchi as a favour. Since Sekingar is someone who has earned Metal Bat's respect -- not to mention going into danger like a hero -- he's only too happy to do so. The pair make their way to the Neo Hero chopper.

The earned trust and respect between those two is wonderful to see.

Changing topic, there's another not-quite-a-hero guy we've yet to hear about. Garou. We start out with a glimpse of what the Bang dojo dynamics must have been like. Toxic! He's back, and he's starting right where he's left off, terrorising Charanko. Bang quickly puts an end to it with a knock to his head and puts him to wiping the floor. Working his way up from the bottom of the pecking order is the only way to be accepted anew, Bang insists. Soon, it's time for Garou to head out to his court-ordered part-time job. Even as he grumbles about having too much to do, there's an eagerness and lightness to Garou as he heads off to earn money. The dojo sees him off.

Charanko settles down to relax at last, only to be shocked to see King come pay a visit. Inside, King tries to explain his current predicament to Bang, telling the old man about the near-miss he had with Atomic Samurai the day before. Unfortunately, between the old man's hardness of hearing, King's roaring heart beat, and how much King is muttering, Bang can't hear it. Finally, desperately, King shouts, 'Please make me stronger.' And that is where we end the chapter.

Shall we have some meta then?

META

Self-Efficacy

I love it when characters help themselves. There was a time that I nearly quit watching One-Punch Man: it was in episode 9, when despite everyone's efforts, the Deep Sea King had not been checked, and then Saitama dispatched it with one punch. I felt acutely depressed rather than elated or relieved: what was the point of a series where only one character's actions mattered? Thankfully, I gave it one more episode and the other S-Class heroes started getting introduced, with Tatsumaki showing that she was far from chopped liver. Good. The manga has more space, and it has given characters the opportunity to try more ways of understanding and trying to solve their predicaments, and I. LOVE. IT.

Carefully weighing up the threats and any opportunities this new thing poses rather than simply reacting.

I've Got My Eye On You

Sorry, I'm allowed one Dad Joke a day and today's your turn for me to set it upon you. The sight of the two one-eyed men casting sidelong glances at each other, sizing each other up, and each daring the other to come clean was splendid. McCoy has put himself in a great position to do harm to the Hero Association. He's the vice chief of operations and has made himself seem indispensable in these frightening times. He may be up to evil dealings -- and in chapter 188 we've seen that he's actively set up Amai Mask to fail and is colluding with the Neo Heroes, but he's nowhere near as untouchable as he thinks he is. It's good to see Sekingar and Isamu working together to thoroughly understand what McCoy is really up to and what the Neo Heroes' true intentions are, rather than simply jumping on the first evidence of wrongdoing and losing their leads. I'll come back to this in a sec.

However, McCoy knows that Wild Emperor is onto him, and what with having suggested the Neo Heroes to Sekingar in the first place, is sure to be wary about Sekingar's true intentions. This isn't going to be an easy mission for either of them. I have no doubt in the strength of Metal Bat's arm, but man, he's a little too open for a mission, isn't he?

They know each has dirt on the other. Who will crack first?

​

A Hero Is As A Hero Does

What I love about the cover of 189 is that it features people who act heroically whether or not it's in a capacity traditionally known as 'hero'. This pair of chapters has really been bringing that out. Sekingar's frustrated heroism is finding an outlet in looking out for heroes, even at risk to himself. Sicchi may not want to be a hero, but his unwavering concern for the well-being of humanity and willingness to find ways to use his position to help those who can make a difference shine here. He's a good boss. King and Saitama over in the distance need no explaining. And as for Garou, even as he's not willing to admit it yet, he's a hero through and through.

Speaking of Garou...

​

The Years Come Off, What New Experiences Will Grow?

It really disconcerted a lot of fans to see Garou be the slightly immature teenager he actually is rather than the young man he's been posturing as. Despite how he's being knocked around, there's a lightness to Garou which just goes to show how heavy the burden he'd placed on himself as Fixer of the World was. I've ranted before about Bang's style of dojo management -- the idea of being able to punch down definitely came from him.

Apples don't fall far from trees, after all.

It's not just Garou who has gotten a second chance to do better, but Bang as well. Between Garou and the former disciples who have started coming back, there are a lot of people looking to see if he'll do right by them this time. I hope he's up to it.

King? Eh, I'll leave his tale of woe to the next review!

​

Small Note

How did you know that? Why are you telling me this? These are questions that ONE takes the time to scrupulously ask: knowledge doesn't come to one just because one is smart. It has to have a source, and that source has to have a reason for sharing it with you. It's really nice to see that Phoenixman's knowledge of the Hero Association's backroom dealings comes from having been a previous captive.

I spy with my little eye, a little monster not all growed up yet
