One punch man and flirting with romance

Romance, in my opm? More likely than you think.

There are many instances in one punch man where the author and the mangaka specifically tip their toes into showcases of implicit romance than explicit, but it is there and I'd like to jump into the romantic cruise ship and put down some of the cases where romance has been implied.

Starting with number one, Fubuki and Psykos implied to be kissing under a tree as teenagers where Fubuki seals off Psykos' powers with an implied kiss, where Psykos is also seen blushing right after. Rest of their interactions also ooze romantic overtones.

Number two is cd audio drama, Saitama and the mysterious heroine, where Saitama and Genos go see a movie and Saitama starts talking about relationships after seeing Suiryu flirt with a woman, then goes on tangent about girlfriends and such.

Saitama: That’s not the point... I have the feeling that things like a heart to heart interaction, sharing an umbrella, warmth, are all things broken away in my life. Other people can have things like big events and circumstances happening, romances and such bringing happiness in their daily lives. I have the feeling something broke and that sweet-like fluffy, nice stuff just fell right off from me. That's what I meant.

Saitama: Genos, look, have you ever seen a hero anime without a love interest in it? Genos: I don't remember watching a lot of anime in the past.. Why do you ask? Saitama: Well, we're heroes, right? We're working and living as such. And yet, why are we indifferent towards things like love interests or girlfriends? In some way it seems obvious and logical, but is it really ok? Are you ok with reality being so much harder than fiction?

It is obvious that Saitama would still be interested in romance, as he seems to be a romantic at heart, yet after becoming so strong he struggles with his emotions, his apathy.

Saitama also reads romantic shoujo manga on his spare time, as seen on season 2 OVA.

Number three is fairly recent addition where it is implied that Genos interest in Saitama as a disciple may or may not be entirely platonic. 3 different people (Zombieman, Flashy flash and Amai-mask) take note of Genos growing interest in Saitama. Genos has also been noted very much be interested in his master's physical appeal in audio cd dramas and below excerpt.

Genos for a long time, has been a prime example of a potential fool in love, but it is still handled in implicit rather than explicit manner. Shoujo sparkles and all that included.

Number four is a most recent addition of Blast and his partner, possibly holding hands under the panel. Blast's partner is specifically referred to as "partner" and not a collaborator by Sitch, giving his partner some more importance in the scene than rest of Blast's teammates. This one may be reaching, but we'll be seeing in future arcs how correct that assumption is.

Number five, Saitama and makeover audio drama where Genos has given Saitama's attack a long name.

Saitama: (Serious voice) Super shining and lightning, that’s right, this next punch will overwhelm you like a gust of northern urban wind deep in December, this illusionary, fantastical, understanding punch from the heart, starting from hyper dreaming attack the final, a never-ending eternal forever endless sentimental with a high sense aggregation of full throttle, godless, loneliness, can’t stop falling in love and as soon as fighting…

Number six, monsters named Maiko plasma and Electric catfish man appear to be a married couple. Maiko plasma refers to Catfish man as "darling" in multiple occasions, so they appear to be involved.

Number 7, where Tatsumaki thinks that Saitama is attracted to her because he's gripping her hand.

Last but not least, number 8, romantic alternate universe comedy part between Fubuki and Saitama in high school audio drama, where Fubuki thinks Saitama wanted to confess to her.

OPM may not yet have any really explicit romance, but implicit...there is a boatload. ONE does not leave fans cold when it comes to romantic undertones. :D

Today on Characters who would vibe with the Kid Pirates!!!

It’s a two for one, Maiko Plasma and Electric Catfish Man

Now Maiko Plasma isn’t really a frontline fighter but she can support others by shooting lighting (mainly enhancing her husband’s attacks). Electric Catfish Man (who I will abbreviate to ECM) can travel through solid ground and manipulate lightning.

Kid thinks ECM is the funniest fucking thing ever because…look at him

At which point, Maiko will shock him with the power of a car battery. Speaking of Maiko Plasma, When Kid isn’t laughing at ECM he and her rock out to their favorite artists.

Killer and ECM like to talk about their punk rock partners but each one has a different idea of how they love the other

ECM: She’s an absolute dream with her loud sounds and rocking personality

Killer: He’s a loud dumbass who’s IQ is absolute 0 but he rocks hard.

Killer and Maiko give each other drum tips and sometimes Maiko fills in for Killer when he can’t play.

Heat is perplexed by ECM but he’s chill so who cares, they play poker together with other members of the crew. Maiko and Heat like to compete over who can be the best pyrotechnics (Heat is a fire spitter and Maiko makes sparks, whoever gets more people to look at them wins).

Wire has no opinions or dissatisfaction with ECM and honestly can’t find one thing out of place with him (he’s under the impression that ECM is some type of Fishman). Wire and Maiko play together frequently, Wire’s on the bass and Maiko on the drums or tomoe.

Shriek likes to recreate their wedding because it brings her joy (In the haha sense) seeing the two be all lovey dovey because again, look at ECM. The two don’t care that she finds it funny, it’s still very sweet

It's a love story for the ages! 🐟💖🌩️

Shriek playing her little toy keyboard as the two of them walk down the aisle aka the living room rug. Killer even made them a cake (NOT a fish cake because that would be awkward).

Now I really want to hear a duet between Wire and Maiko!

I really wanted to know how Maiko was a monster besides having lightning abilities, and I found this. It's pretty cool, I wish we had back stories, especially on how her and Electric Catfish man became a couple.

[no1monstersimp]

The other monster girls asking Maiko about who she finds attractive from the MA(cause they're stuck underground for months I mean they get bored).

Maiko, not yet married:

One of my headcannons is they met because of the MA, fell in love, and got married in the months they were underground. They make me so happy 🖐️.
