#monsterization

[theomnicode]

Where does monsterization begin?

I wonder...if or when Saitama suddenly remembers the ominous future, would he start to view himself as something non-human considering how ludicrous his feats were, become horrified at his actions in almost destroying the earth and monsterize as a result of that?

He's already alienated from his peers for being so strong (Chapter 77 - Bored as usual) and in the ominous future he also seemingly knows about there being no ceiling to anything he wants to do.

(Chapter 167 - I.O)

At the moment, he just did not care about anything besides protecting the core and beating Garou to internalize that fact and then stubbornly clung to Genos core to remind him of his humanity...but I do wonder if it would mess up with his head if he recalled now how messed up it is that he can interact with hyperspace portals like a cartoon character, something he knows is immaterial. And if him losing his memories is his subconscious protecting his mind from that.

It just begs the question "how much does Saitama know about his own powers" and has he subconsciously hidden away the logical impossibility of his feats from himself so he would not go insane or just stubbornly keeps ignoring those facts when they appear to him. If he doesn't think too hard, it's not too bad right? Things like entering Phoenixman's spiritual space, grabbing Void's energy swords, talking and breathing in space and seeing the backside of one's head should be impossible even to the people in OPM universe, anybody would get mental damage from that. Too much mental stress is definitely a factor in him going bald too.

I also keep on wondering if he unlocked some hidden key aspect of himself on the moon that he normally keeps well hidden.

(Chapter 121.5 - Back of my head)

Saitama is practically eldritch in nature, yet he's still human, eating and sleeping and sneezing like normal. Yet even Cosmic Garou wonders if he's still human in there, not once but twice, all but certain after the fight has neared its end. I cannot help but think it's quite ominous foreshadowing.

(Chapter 167 - I.O)

Saitama seems to be clinging to humanity by a hair's breath during the ominous future, so it might only be a matter of time before something bad happens and he loses himself.

Why I think it might not be over for a certain hero (wild theory in bound)

Naturally manga spoilers are below. @the-nysh @gofancyninjaworld​

What are the roots of monsterization? There are many, but one of the most recurring ones is obsession. 

What seemed to be played off as a joke initially is becoming part of the in universe lore.

And it’s not just monsters that have obsessions. We’ve seen heroes like Darkshine and  arguably Saitama drastically change their bodies through their obsessions.

But there’s one hero who has one of those weirder obsessions more akin to the monsters above. An almost religious obsession.

It could be a plot twist hiding in plain sight disguised as a joke, not unlike the origins of monsterization.

Also kinda weird that Tanktop Master is included in the “scary” heroes. This one is more of a stretch and could be just a coincidence but stay with me here as it leads to our next point.

One of the main reasons for the redraws was to develop potential future plot point regarding something known as “costume monsters” Watchdog Man is listed as an example.

Now what do Tanktop Master, Watchdog Man, and Phoenix Man have in common? Some strange attachment to an article of clothing.

Tell me that the way Phoenix Man talks about the Birdbrain costume doesn’t somewhat mirror the way Master thinks of his Tanktop.

Now some might argue that “a tanktop technically isn’t a costume” and I guess that’s fair but all the other boxes are checked.

Tanktop Master's “final words” could be another clue. “The tank top is invincible.”

Maybe...just maybe Tanktop Master cannot die as long as the tanktop itself is in tact? Similar to Phoenix Man before the redraws.

In summary:

Honestly these two will be the death of me.

How are they so pretty???

[drundertalescum]

So I was having a discussion about humanizations and monsterizations for the kids and we decided hand-head Frisk and Onionsan-esque colossal squid Chara were both Very Good options

bonus shitpost under the cut

warning; spoilers for UT’s pacifist run:

the mistaken identity thing stops making as much sense in this version of things.

[hopezik]

Decided to draw some other swap characters. Humanization and genderbend of them to be exact :D And monsterization (is that how you call it) of Frisk and Chara. Though Napstaton got only genderbend just because I wanted him like that (´• ω •`)
