“speed of sound sonic.” 

each word is enunciated with annoyance. already, his stay in this unfamiliar city is going to be hell.

“is sensei here?” those yellow pupils contract, stance prepared for a fight. “and have you been disturbing sensei’s precious time, speed of sound sonic?”

Murata stream update: we have, literally...CARWASH GENOS! XD

[the-nysh]

Murata stream update: he doodled a diligent Genos writing in his Saitama notebooks (up to vol. 310!) for a lecture on mangaka Murata would attend later.

[the-nysh]

Murata stream update: even after everything, Genos still reflects on his progress and notes down ‘acid proof’ (spelled ‘ploof’!) in his memo book! Ohh Genos. :’)

Oh man more awesome meta I love this aaah.

Consider Genos’ background, how he was unable to save his family when the mad cyborg attacked, and then tried to destroy the meteor - and failed - how hopeless/ineffective he must have felt at that moment. And then Saitama-sensei sweeps in and saves him and everyone else. This kid lost everything and everyone and he’s about to do it again, but as you say, this time he’s saved. And Saitama makes a point of telling Bang to take care of Genos before he goes for the meteor to make sure he’ll be safe..!

Literally attacking with his heart - definitely no chance to misunderstand there what this all represents…

…and taking all you wrote into consideration, it makes the scene of him declaring how Saitama is the most incredible person he’s met and how he’ll follow him even more powerful ;-;

:’)))) Yes, utterly (heart) drained at the moment he knew he failed to affect the outcome and protect who he cares about (again!), he doesn’t even consider his own safety anymore – ordering Bang to escape as one last futile effort while sitting there accepting the inevitable. But RIGHT then at his lowest moment, Saitama sweeps in to save him. And gosh it’s glorious (shoujo circles and all) to see the astonished recognition on his face and feel his hope do a 180. :’D

Just look at this panel of him after Saitama succeeds, his body language says it all:

As for the anime’s placement of Genos’ declaration after this (during the sunset scene and all), I’d say they made a creative decision for the better. :’3

May I insert my five cent :3 ? Chronologically speaking from the Bang OVA stand point, can I also bring up even after witnessing what saitama did to the meteor, Genos is still frighten out of his daylights when the egg ran out into traffic to defend the plastic bag kitty from getting hurt by that irresponsible truck driver? Just days ago Genos saw the man launch himself at a hot incoming rock (that was probably a fraction of the size of the moon) that would have caused sure fire catastrophic damage, as well as other adverse affects to the rest of the environment. He WITNESSED this man blow a fiery boulder into smithereens, and even that’s not enough to stop his core from jumping in his throat when he thought that something as trivial as a domestic traffic dispute was gonna pose some harm to his sensei. You could practically feel the panic run up and down Genos’ circuits, and I bet even he couldn’t register the split second it took for him to get to where saitama was to heave what may as well have been a hamper full of feathers off of him. And Saitama wasn’t even fazed by it! It’s like Genos can’t believe his own eyes each time. He’s been with Saitama through some of the worst incidences in his heroic career, (and has had to have saitama come and assist him on many of those occasions) and even still, when it comes to the egg’s well being, his mind impulsivley zeros on the one person that matters most, like a lioness ready to go tooth and nail against any predator to protect the young even if there was hardly any threat to begin with. Just kill me D;

 Yes please, this ridiculous scene RIGHT HERE!? 8D

You are correct, this ova happens directly after the meteor, and YET even after witnessing Saitama achieve the miraculous, Genos still can’t help feeling that instinctual urge to protect who he cares about when they’re ~in danger~

I swear, compiling a list of all the moments Genos displays irrational concern for Saitama’s safety and wellbeing would be a whole separate post altogether. XD He just loves him cares so much, omg. And not just for Saitama’s physical wellbeing, but mentally too! Heck, even in that same meteor episode, the anime had Genos RUN to Saitama’s (unneeded) aid to save him from the scorn of the public. :P Just...Genos pls.  

I was talking with Raya some more about it, and it’s like because of his background, Genos has a deep-set, built in fear of losing those he cares about (after losing everyone in his hometown), so he typically remains distant and aloof (and very rude) towards most new people he meets. His ability to trust and get close to people again is extremely limited, but when it does happen, his attachment is INTENSE. It explains a lot – his incessant clinginess and almost separation anxiety with Saitama (especially in the latest webcomic developments where he insists to live with Saitama no matter what). However, Saitama is that ONE person who can’t be ‘lost’ that way; he can’t be harmed or killed in any feasible way. And yet Genos still tries however he can to protect him (even if all Genos can do is assist Saitama’s daily happiness). :’3 Saitama really is that chill, grounded, immovable object to match Genos’ unstoppable passionate force.

Omg, so one of my absolute favorite webcomic!Genos moments has got to be the hilarious ch92 omake. The one that reads like a classic Genos power fantasy, with him completely dominating everybody and showing just how much of a glorious, overpowered little shit he can be. XD Gawd, I LOVE it.

Look at him, just waltzing in and casually murdering everyone, literally giving no fucks even for the story’s normal conventions:

Immediately taking over as ‘leading asshole’ for the role of Q&A host as if it’s all just completely natural. Talking shit answering the audience’s questions (seriously, the panel zoom ins right up into his face get me every time XD), and conveniently forgetting who Sonic is out of sheer contempt for his character (lul, smooth move there, ONE): 

Even manhandling poor ONE himself (good gawd how many times his own characters give him shit):

And OH YEAH, completing any proper Genos power fantasy, Saitama finally shows up too. Naked. YEAHHHH:

Like???? Geez ONE, what are you doing!? XD A ‘lazy bastard’? Heh, more like he’s a sneaky bastard as far as I’m concerned! ;D Ok, but seriously, this is some of the funniest shit ever. It’s classic Genos taken up to 11 with all the power to do whatever the fuk he wants. And it’s absolutely GLORIOUS. <3

Murata added an extra panel of Genos openly mocking Sonic before their fight in the expanded volume release! (He’s actually laughing at him now! :D)

Just compare that ‘lol’ moment to the old scanlations: 

(Oh hey the missing cheese grater holes on his shoulders have been fixed too!)

Even Sonic’s reaction has been redrawn:

Plenty more changes made than that! Spot all the differences between the old vs new versions of the chapter! Definitely a highly anticipated moment to see adapted in season two! 8D
