[@CalamityDiamond]

One thing to note about the 'Death' punch when it shows the dust cloud from above. The blast started far away from Genos. Saitama threw the punch and then was fast enough to get right up into his face to protect Genos from the shockwave that destroyed the wall behind him by putting himself between them and it.

[@dannyeames5875]

Damn, always wondered how Genos didn't go flying, while that cliff got destroyed. Makes a lotta sense.

[@123b3n123]

[@sammydray5919]

Yup. Even in the scene for a split second you can tell that the shockwave comes from BEHIND Saitama. Its just such a great detail

[@bharadwaj185]

The reason sad music was playing because saitama got so strong he cant feel any emotions and when he saw genos leaving he was feeling something but couldn't understand it

[@Triattt]

I think you're mistaking Saitama with Mob. Mob is the one that surpressed his emotions. Saitama has emotions, he's bored and apatethic most of the time, but we see him feel and express emotions throughout the show. The sad music was to setup the joke. A parody of the rival/friend that leaves to get stronger or to deal with something dark but promises to comeback, except Genos was just grabbing his stuff to move in.

[@masekyn5480]

@@Triattt don’t forget that opm and mp100 are both written by one. he’s not overthinking it, saitama actually feels something about genos but i think he’s surprised by that bc in 3 years he had no company at all. I won’t spoil anything but in the manga their relationship goes far more into that

[@shanajeangedeon9060]

@@Triattt I don't even know what to say about the rest of your comment, but for the beginning; you do remember Saitama's whole introduction in the first episode was him complaining about how he doesn't feel emotional about things anymore, right? He literally tells us that he can't feel anymore after he passed a certain level of strength.

[@liege1838]

@@shanajeangedeon9060 nah mate you got it wrong,Saitama is one of the most influential and smart character out there in OPM And emotionally too,if you remember when mumen rider got ragged by sea king,he porposefully portrayed himself as a cocky bastard who wanted to take all the credit,so that people bitch about him and give all the credit to rest of the heroes

[@fuminshoo1266]

Amai Mask is basically telling Genos: "Now you are not only one of us heroes, but you are also part of the upper class. I am in charge of ensuring that the Hero Association always gives a perfect image to the public, because everything we own depends on public opinion and the money of rich investors, so you have to meet those standards and give a perfect image of yourself with everything you do from now on. For example, mixing with low class heroes is not a good start for your career". Then the scene where Saitama and Genos take different ways on the bridge is purposely made to make you think that Genos is cutting off his relationship with Saitama to now be an S-class hero who only hangs out with the elite (and that's why the sad music, not because of Saitama feeling an emotion like the other comment said). But then, in the post credits scene, Genos is showing that he doesn't care at all about the elitism and what Amai Mask told him, and that he will stick with Saitama even closer, moving in with him.

The physical tests were quite easy for Saitama and he recorded the best scores in all of them. However, he performed quite poorly in the written test and received an overall score of 71 making him a C rank hero. On the written test they asked the contestants how they would beat certain types of villians. The reason Saitama failed was because he wrote "I punch it" on every question because that is the only thing he can do.

[@pierluigidipietro8097]

[@kenbocole1460]

I will never understand how the Hero Execs put such an obviously strong hero at the bottom of C. Even if he failed the written test you think his record breaking physical test results, which he was holding back on, would get him into A.

[@ODDnanref]

There is a theory that most his answers were punch the problem out. So the evaluators could not believe that he could actually do it and thus gave him a low score. He also could have failed ethics and responsibility part of the exam. Meaning they ranked him low because he needed to prove himself. Which is something C ranks and B ranks have to do. C ranks have quotas and B ranks get embroiled in the internal struggles.

[@floydrose8453]

The exam is evaluation for becoming a hero. Not for who destroy the equipment most. So written is important. He answers all questions, scenarios and situation by "i will punch it" So they cant decide it yet. Thats why he scores low on written bcoz they dont know yet how true hero saitama is.. They know he's strong but they dont know if hes a hero. Thats the exams all about..

[@KDBabes]

I think he also answered what would he do if he find a lost wallet as he would keep the money. Instead of writing he would check the id and return it

[@jaoofy]

To be fair, the physical exams weren't made for people who are potentially A or S class. Breaking the records probably would only have him at low A strength, probably mid B

[@mazhiwezakizo3513]

The real problem, is people get interested in Saitama for his high scores, because they were "record breaking" but then still think that their 'relatively normal' strength or power is going to be enough to challenge him. This includes Snek and the B ranks later. It's kind of silly.

[@crowsenpai5625]

You know the reason Saitama tanked the test scores was it was probably questions like: Q: you in the park of a city that currently filled with Civilians. From the North suddenly a Dragon Level threat begins attacking. What do you do? A: I punch it.

[@nlgarmdevil4411]

Fun fact: If you ever hear a single crow making noise in the background in a comedy anime its because someone has done something dumb. Its because the caw noise a crow makes sounds kind of like the japanese word for stupid (aho). Thats why theres a crow going while Snek is face down int he ground. Japanese comedy trope :)

[@notsoneon]

I notice that Genos while being a cyborg (part human part robot) is obviously still capable of human emotions, primarily anger and frustration, it leads me to believe he was always a sort of analytical person when he was fully human.

[@batmanh8899]

No, he wasn’t analytical he was just a regular 15 year old. Spoilers: (Sort of) We see what he acted like in the OVA where saitama accidentally hit him and he lost his memories. We also see him compare Amai Mask to him before he met Master Saitama. We also know that when he was talking about mosquito girl to Saitama he said he was too impatient and rushed in with analyzing. So he was a regular 15 year old that has grown and matured.

[@batmanh8899]

[@jessbellis9510]

I love that Genos shits on the hero examination because they didn't give Saitama a perfect score. Beforehand he had no issue with it, he said it was easy. After they gave Saitama a bad score, he immediately became a Karen and was going to demand to speak to management about Saitama's score. He literally says to the most popular hero that the exam and speaking to him is a waste of time. He'd rather sit with Saitama than spend a couple mins away from him, speaking to a super important hero. Genos is Saitama's biggest fan and it's especially obvious in Japanese, as he uses very polite speech when talking to Saitama, but with everyone else (excluding his Doctor) he uses casual or even "rude" speech.

[@YooryYoory]

the POV of Genos when he saw the punch just being pointed at him, is what everyone else sees before the punch from Saitama lands on them, it's like they see death before they actually die. it's so overwhelming that no one understands but the ones that actually get punched by Saitama and eventually die. It's scary AF

[@wolframsigma6]

Actually, in the written part of the Hero Test, Saitama answers all the questions in a very simple and layman language. Example: " Question:- There have been an increase in the number of dragon level monsters in an area lately and The Hero Association has not looked into the reason as to why. What is the most effective action here? Saitama's Answer: Punch Monsters." You get the point. Basically, he answered most of the questions with "Punch monsters." because as far as Saitama is concerned, his problems are LITERALLY SOLVED by JUST Punching.

[@Nazz-b7p]

People say the animation for season 2 is bad. It isn't. It's absolutely fine, it's just nowhere near the perfection that was achieved for season 1.

The grading system is, for the most part, the same as Western grading i.e. F to A. However, Japan tends to include an S grade above A, standing for 'Special grade'. It's a very common system in games that include grading your performance.

[@mazhiwezakizo3513]

S Rank is higher than A Rank, but Amani Mask is A1, and he acts like the Gatekeeper, preventing people from getting into S-Rank, unless he approves of them being S-Rank. He is so important, that he actually sits on the council or board that judges promotions, but i think he only worries about A Rank and S Rank decisions, but I forget how much he actually does here specifically.

I consider to be SPOILER FREE: Hero ranks in descending order is S, A, B, C. C heroes can only deal with so called "street threats". B heroes can deal with street threats safely. A heroes can do above, but also occupy, disrupt and or distract city-level threats. Typically putting themselves in danger doing so. A heroes, to my knowledge, have never been seen to successfully deal with these on their own or even in groups of A heroes. S heroes is a massive jump in power reserved for earth's (registered) very best and each hero varies in power greatly. Only to be deployed for matters nobody else could. That includes larger threats on the county, continental, or world scale. For anyone new to the medium. Threat scale refer to what environment that specific Threat, typically a creature, can Threat - yes. As reference - basically tiers of power level from Dragonball Z. Very anime-esque.. All these "threat levels" will actually be described in this first season of the show quite soon - labelled with different creature names. Thank you for showing interest.

[@Ben-lo3op]

The S class rank is an exception to that rule tho. That rank originally didnt exist, but than the Hero Association noticed there were special individuals that were so strong that they can take on or even take out demon level threats by themselfes and they created the s class rank for them. So the S rank is pretty much just based on power level (not the internal ranking between the s class heroes tho)

@@Ben-lo3op that means the rule still apply to class S. how do you think the Association know who is capable of defeating demon threat monsters ? by defeat a demon threat monster of course, and that is counted as class S of "good deed". if it's based on power level then Saitama should be Class S already, because he holds the record for physical strength on the exam, or in other word he beat Dark Shine record on the physical test, the strongest physical hero on class S. and Genos being class S because the Association thought he took down the House of Evolution alone which has a lot of demon threat monster. not because he has 100/100 score on the exam

Glad that you're appreciating the animation from Madhouse studio. I really hope you'd react to another anime from Madhouse which is Hunter X Hunter. It's from 2011 but the animation holds up to this day and it's really great for discussions.

My favorite part about where Saitama punched (if I'm remembering right) is that he punched the exact same place that Genos blasted until Saitama got behind him Just to show the degree of power between them even after he got his new arms And if you look really closely, Saitama actually PUNCHED THE CLOUDS AWAY, they make a sort of tunnel matching the destroyed rock all the way into the distance

To clear something up in the fight of Saitama v Genos ; it wasn't a threat. Genos wanted to see a fragment of Saitama's power and he obliged. However, using his power on Genos would've killed him, even the force of a drawn punch. Saitama punched towards Genos, then stepped into the path of his own punch so Genos wouldn't be damaged by the force of it. If you look closely, Saitama moved quite a distance away from Genos but when the blast moved past them, he was right in front of Genos. First thing he does is show his pupil he's OP and save him all in the same move xD

Amai Mask normally decides who gets to enter S class because you need to defeat him to become S class.

The Real question is how did genos get that huge backpack inside the apartment

[@hesammalekzadeh1943]

Hero order is this order level S rank 1 .... Level S rank 16 (genus) Level A rank 1 ... Level B ... .. Level C

[@zazoreal5536]

Wait till you get to the last episodes...You will see mind blowing animation and power.

The system for hero’s association grading is S.A.B.C.D. With S. Being the highest and D being the lowest so saitama is a C. Class hero making him in the lower half of skill and genos shot straight up to S. Making him one of the special elite (it’s supposed to be quite comical to the viewer how saitama is on a gifs level of strength but was so dumb they balanced it out and put him in c)

Hey, if you guys enjoyed this you’ll love Mob Psycho 100. They were both created by the same guy. So good.

[@chethankn04]

The Ranking goes like First S, A, B and then C at last

[@darkmoon4135]

"S class" is the highest class, "A class" is the second highest. Amai Mask was suppose to be in the S class, but he chose to remain in Rank A #1 so that any lower rank class within class A will have to surpass Amai Mask approval in order to fit in with the S class heroes. S class heroes are the strongest, even a small blemish or mistake can cost the heroes association reputation to go down. That why Amai Mask was in class A rank 1 to gate keep other lesser heroes who does have the requirement to become the highest echelon of the S rank class. Amai mask appearance in this episode was to warn Genos and to welcome him at the same time.

Fine fine. After 8 videos ill subscribe yall grew on me

[@chiozoe]

It's funny that the hero association was created because Saitama saved the butt-chin boy, but I hardly see any reactors/people mention it when the chairman talks about it.
