    Didn't Saitama do horrible on the written test and thus got a C ranking? Genos got S because he blew up that base.

    Genos got S because he got a perfect score on both tests plus they knew he destroyed that base.

    It's a pretty safe bet that he didn't lose his hair from training. He just thinks he did. Because they've already revealed that his training wasn't actually that strenuous.

    Dunno what makes some of you think that Sonic and Sasuke are alike. ¿Cause they have black hair? If its cause he wants Saitama to fight him, in some egotistical/childish way (actually I think that Sonic is plain psychotic), he should remind you of Naruto, Lee and a lot others to cause basically the "fight me!" behavior is related to 1/3 of conceited shounen characters ever.

    He isnt emo, he isnt sulky, he isnt secretive, he isnt vengance driven, he isnt elite, he isnt cool and composed... So black hair and ninja 100% match duh.

    To be fair, having the same job (ninja) and similar looks is enough to remind someone of another person...

    and a bit of being conceited (justifiably) about his strength and how much his background makes him an 'elite' and superior to others.

    also the seiyuu sounds similar, (although it's not the same guy) - composed and mature.

    sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    Episode 9 - HS



    - - - - -- -




    It's pretty sad after all these deaths and huge peril to the civilians in those parts that Saitama had to let go of a massive boost to his fame. On the other hand, this was nothing unusual to Saitama as such. Even though the Sea King was lethal even for class S heroes, it was nothing out of ordinary for One Punch Man. So, it was merely a small step toward class B, which he finally achieved.

    It's weird the Hero Association is so blind, though. Saitama broke all the physical records, but that seemed to be meaningless for them and they just threw him to the bottom of the barrel as inconsequential. Yet physical prowess has been decisive in a lot of cases we have seen, which means it has been the solution in a huge number of cases we haven't seen. Just because he failed the academic test they basically scrapped a huge asset. What a bunch of incompetents.

    Man, they really went all out to make the troll even look like a disgusting troll.

    Saitama doesn't fit the image.
    We do not know if he's stronger than everyone in the association, but even if he is, they can't label him number one because of image and marketing issues.

    I think Saitama made a clever move here. Being an official hero confronts him to powerfull threats. And being seen as a fraud might have some people come to fight him too. Since he's invincible, the more come to him, the better. Now he just hopes someone will put up a fight.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Mumen Rider's theme song is awesome.

    I feel the exact opposite. Because even though his public reputation is so terrible, they keep promoting him anyway. They actually seem to act on evidence and results rather than hearsay.

    Annoying that they didn't even show what the Rank B promotion tests were.

    Umm some questions and a psychiatric analysis. From what they've shown so far it seems that as long as you make it to rank 1 you're more or less guaranteed a promotion if you want it, unless the higher ups are against it.

    Mumen Rider is such a badass though.

    As is Genos. I shed tears of manliness for Genos' sacrifice to save the little girl. As I also did for Mumen Rider's attempt at saving everyone.

    As far as we cam tell, there are only 4-6 heroes who actually give shit. Saitama, Genos, Mumen Rider, and a whoever else is relevant for the plot.

  14. #214
    Yeah if it wasnt because Saitama is just God I would make Mumen Rider my nº1 hero. All his "bravado" was pretty coool but to write a letter to Saitama and actually catch to him to treat him is just pure gold. Its really hard in real life to say thanks and be really grateful to someone that did your job even better than you. Ego and our narcissit impulses are fking powerful. Not he is only a true hero of justice also a true hero of personality.

    Genos getting caught unaware over and over again is getting old. But I guess that is the only way to get gruesome and carnage fights. He is like a mister potato and can rebuild almost anything. We couldnt see that from other flesh heroes and only getting the bad guy beaten gruesomely isnt fair.

    Once again: This anime is great when it´s being serious, so I still hope that the source of Saitama´s powers is something that makes sense rather than the comedic "lol" explanation.

    Some really great, dramatic moments in this episode.

    Even though he saved her life, you know that girl is going to be traumatized as fuck for the rest of her life watching a man melt into a skeleton right in front of her face.

    I feel kind of sad for the rider guy.
    he's a classic shonen hero, and the public sees it and adores/worships him for that, which is probably why he got the #1 C-spot.
    however, he lives in a world that doesn't always reward hard work and determination, so he's bound to get beat up (and die one day), and he won't run away because he's so caught up in 'being a hero'.
    and their talk about having to do 'weekly hero duties' that saitama hates? the rider guy loves it, he lives for that shit, he's the hero association mascot of a 'model hero', even though he's not all that good in that job and it's going to cost him his life.

    considering how OPM is a parody (sigh), I guess they´ll continue to build up Bikerman for a bit, then have him return with newly gained strength ... only to THEN kill him off by a single enemy attack.

    For a parody, this show delivers the feels. Saitama and Mumen (Maskless) Rider, I bow to you.

    Genos better start learning how to keep alert.

    Mumen Rider is a great hero. Not everything is about pulverizing meteorites or blowing up frogs. People need help every day, and Mumen Rider does that job well.
