Genos is the the blond cyborg
that Saitama takes on as his
apprentice. Some would say sidekick. After
all Genos seems more like Saitama's
errand boy or maid. But anyway
Genos is 19 years old in the one-punch
man series. Ge's 1 78 centimeters or
about 5 feet 10 inches. Hey we're about
the same height! As for Genos's weight this
has never been given out in any of the
official data books on this series. The
most likely reason for this is because
Genos is constantly getting
modifications and improvements. For
example we have Genos using the
anti Saitama arm or also his Arms Mode
that add even more weight to his body.
There is a question about whether
Genos is even his real name or just a
nickname. He notably were the shirt that
says genocide in the manga. hmm... As for
Genos's hero ranking Genos was easily
able to make it into S class after
taking the heroes association test. With
that he was given the very nice hero
named the Demon Cyborg. Since then Genos has
been trying to climb into the top 10. So
far he's managed to surpass the tank top
master and Metal Bat. Genos currently
sits at S class rank 14.
In the original Japanese version for One
Punch Man Genos is voiced by Kaito
Ishikawa. You may know this voice actor
from a few other popular roles. There's
Tobio from Haikyuu. He's also another hero
Tenya for My Hero Academia. He's also
voiced Wilhelm. That badass Butler from
Re Zero. And here's a fun one. He's also
been another superhero sidekick. The
Falcon from anime Avengers! Within the
hero Association every hero receives the
rating based on eight different
categories so here's how Genos ranks
up. For strength he's at nine. Both
intelligence and justice come at seven.
For endurance he's at nine. No surprise!
Genos sure can sure take a beating. Both of
Genos's speed and popularity come at an
eight. His fighting ability is at a nine
and his lowest score is effectiveness at
six. Honestly no surprise here. The only
ones that you would expect to be higher
would be intelligence and justice. oh and
just as a comparison to another
well-known heroes. Saitama rates 10 for
strength, endurance, and speed. Every other
category is rock bottom. The funny part
about it is that Genos has its own
grading system for Saitama. Genos has
ranks Saitama as 15 plus for every stat
except two. He's ranked Saitama's
popularity and intelligence at both one!
Come on Genos. That's messed up.
Ever wonder what happens when the Cyborg
cries? Yeah neither have I. In the case
of Genos we do have this mystery solved.
There is this interesting reveal from
the One Punch Man guidebook. It turns out
that the Demon Cyborg literally cries oil
when he gets depressed. As always Genos
got pretty beat up after that house of
evolution battle. During that
confrontation he was even sporting a new
afro like hairdos. After that was over
it was definitely repaired time for him.
What you may have missed was right in
the background. It's Genos's old hair right
behind Dr. Kuseno! So take a look at that!
It turns out that Genos actually got
all of his hair replaced completely. It
wasn't just him combing it back. This time
supposedly his new hair is suppose to be
flame resistant. Not that it really
matters. His next opponent is bound to rip
it or just slice it clean off.
After the battle with the mosquito girl
Genos beg Saitama to take him on as his
student. What you don't see in the main
series is what Genos was up to during
the days leading up to him showing up at
Saitama's doorstep! In one of the OVAs you
see that Genos was stalking I mean
researching Saitama for three days
straight. He took note of and recorded
every little detail of what Saitama was
doing. Which by the way did you know that
Saitama watches TV for three hours
every day. But anyway Genos was doing
all of this to figure out the secret behind
in Saitama's strength. At one point he even
thought that Saitama might be a cyborg
like him. As we seen the anime Genos
eventually gives up and shows up at
Saitama's doorstep.
Genos also known as that Demon
Cyborg. Cyborg being the key word here. How
much of Genos is actually still
human? I mean even though Genos is a
Cyborg he's still capable of eating.
Genos even mentions in the manga that
his body turns whatever he's consuming
into energy that it could use. Whether
he's actually required to eat is a
different question. As we see Genos
still very much has this human
consciousness. It's been strongly hinted
at that his brain is the only actual
human bits that remains of him. Sorry
Genos no sexy time for you! It's been
shown to various battles that is brain
casing has been extra reinforced. You
wouldn't want to get that harmed. Genos
just needs to get a full vibranium suit!
But anyways let me throw out a fun populary
theory about Genos. Genos may
not even be human. Some believe that
Genos is actually the original cyborg.
That he's the one that actually killed
what he thinks was his family. All of his
memories from that event could have
just been constructed by Dr.. Kuseno. hmm
Do you buy this theory? Just something to
think about.
So just how powerful is Genos? You
see that Genos instantly gets into
S-class in the anime and even now he's
moved up a little bit in the ranking. The
author ONE has given us some information
to get an idea about his strength. ONE
has mentioned that Genos is pretty
strong even among the S-class heroes. ONE
has also mentioned that between Sonic vs
Genos their battle would end up in a
tie. Although to be fair for that last one
it has been a while since One last
mentioned this. We have seen Genos
constantly training and he keeps
undergoing some serious upgrades. Most of
those upgrades have been focused on
these specialized arm improvement. So far
we've seen the Anti Saitama Arms in his
match versus his sensei. We then has him
displays the Arms Mode versus the meteor.
Currently this is Genos after the G4
upgrade. All that Genos is really
missing is just a chance to prove himself. He
needs to level up! The One Punch Man
series is a parody anime so no surprise
that Genos would be in on some of the
jokes. One of the main one intended by
the author one is the running gag that
you may be familiar with. Every single
time that Genos is up against the
challenge he gets completely totalled.
Sometimes it's just the arm. A foot here
and there, body sliced. Other times it's
just Genos becoming a piece of work
of art. If you think about it Genos is
really just the Krillin of the group or
was it Yamcha. Either way Genos just
can't catch a break! So just how popular
is Genos compared to the other hero?
Well in the most recent poll Genos was
actually placed in the top three. Third
place. The two people above him include
his sensei Saitama at number two. Which
by the way Saitama usually always came
in first. This time the top place isn't
even technically a hero. First place was
run by the fabulous Speedster Sonic! Oh
and just under Genos was Fubuki .She
was fourth most popular. You can bet that
Tatsumaki is definitely not happy with
this. Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed
