If you were a cyborg, how would you comport yourself? Would you want to look as human as possible so as to remain inconspicuous? How would you get into your battle gear when it was time to fight evil, as cyborgs are wont to do? Especially if the evil is a giant meteorite about to come down on your head.
You have to do something. Normal people are just going to stand around crying until something gets done.
If you answered that you would carry your cyborg battle parts in an exploding attache case, then congratulations. You’d get Genos on one of those “Which Character are you” quizzes from so many years ago.
It’s interesting to see that Genos has non-battle arms. I didn’t even notice until he put on the actual laser shooting ones, but he’s been traveling around with just normal cyborg arms that probably only give him enough strength to lift and then crush a car like a tin can instead of super lasers that can blow away mountains.
There’s no Saitama in this one. He only gets a brief mention as “Sensei” while Genos is doing his heroic poses on a rooftop after his awesome suit-up sequence. And yes, it does come in .gif form.
Yes, the arms are jet powered just for this sequence
Heroic antics are all well and good, and Genos is certainly a good hero. There’s nothing in this world that could possibly make him abandon his duty to the city and Saitama.
Except maybe this guy. Based on Genos going, “That’s…” this may be the Harbinger of Backstory.
