One-Punch Man (Webcomic) - Ch. 155

ONE playing 4D chess here

So Kuseno was the mastermind who stole the data and slowly created machine gods to wreck havoc and collect data to build Genos.

All of Genos updates were made from the data that the machine gods collected. It's also why he didn't really fight them directly.

Although Kuseno could've been stopped much earlier if whoever found genos actually investigated his past(and the hero org really should've done that), what Saitama did is lay the groundwork for Genos to break through his potential in a way Kuseno could never control.....IF he manages to do that before killing Bofoi

 

[mutsutakashi]

This is still unclear. I can think of several possibilities:
1. Genos is the AI and his memories is fake. ( I don't think so though )
2. Dr. Kuseno is the mastermind stole Dr.Bofoi data and making the machine god series and just faking his death.
3. Drive Knight or his creator is the true master mind, Drive Knight is the AI ? Drive Knight is the one who give Genos the info that Dr.Bofoi is the one responsible for his family's death after all.
4. Someone else entirely.

Still this chapter is really good, show Darkshine character development and Dr.Bofoi change from a rigid scientist into someone we can appreciate.

Damn, we're eating good this month

I've suspected Kuseno for some time now, but the idea that Genos himself was never human is an interesting one, especially since there's never been a sign of any organic parts left in him. If he's a copy of Bofoi's AI made by Kuseno, then maybe being around Saitama has allowed him to break through that ceiling in that Bofoi mentioned.

Also now that i think about it, Genos was a little too eager to start basically serving Saitama, maybe more foreshadowing of his AI nature?

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

I mean, probably Genos is a bad guy or something . . . but it still makes sense as just a mistake. I mean, assume Genos is just who he's always seemed to be. We knew Genos was trying to break into the bad guy's citadel and kill him. Bofoi sure LOOKS like the bad guy and has never bothered to try to clear his name because it would be "inefficient". Be ironic if his obsessive "efficiency" got him killed. And Genos has no way of knowing all the stuff Bofoi just told Child Emperor . . . which in any case may or may not be true.

So I'd say there's still room for doubt about just what's going on. (There's also room for doubt as to whether mr. mastermind actually died that simply)

 

[windfang]

So Bofoi is a good version of Dr. Wily all along?
and Sweet Mask basically calling his past self a monster.

Here's the translation for all of Raiden text. From 2chan

Move! I can't move! This body—my body—why won't it move? Why? Why do I keep committing acts of violence? I don't understand. It's not like I did it myself.

I don't want to move my hands anymore. I don't want to hear the sound of bones breaking. I don't want to hit anyone. I don't want to take lives! Please, just run away already—everyone, run!

Even Kurobikari-san (Darkshine) won't get away unscathed. The super wrestlers have turned into monstrous beings because of the battle suits. No one can stop them anymore.

Even my own consciousness is fading like a bubble. Is this really reality!? If it is, then it's a living nightmare. Someone, please, kill me now. Tie weights to me and throw me to the bottom of the ocean. Just kill me!!

To hell with it all! Machines, battle suits—I never should have worn any of it. This noise... someone, what is—

Why has no one come to help? What are they doing? Don't tell me... they’ve all been made to go berserk like me? Is that what this noise is? Is it controlling my nervous system? Is that why I can't resist, even with my strength!?

One’s own body should be something they can control. If not, then maybe this isn't reality after all.

Is this all a dream, then? Otherwise, I would never go on a rampage against humans.

Which means... in this dream, I've become a monster? Am I being ○○? Is it ○?

If someone is pulling the strings from behind the scenes... and if I can't ○○, it's because my body just won't obey. I can't run, I can't die. At this rate, it's impossible. It’s ○○. ○ is ○○.

Hey! You—what the hell are you ○○!! AAAAAAAAH! Who do you think I am!? You think some lowly hero can stand in front of me, a Yokozuna among Super Wrestlers!? Do you want to die, ○○!! I'm starting to understand now...

 

[Azaleal]

One has to be genuinely retarded if they still think ONE is writing the manga.

It seems you know better than Shueisha, VIZ, the Japan Copyright Office, Yusuke Murata, or even ONE himself...

I know the webcomic-only fans are dumb, but I didn't know they were this dumb.
what’s next? Saying Mengo is the OnK writer just because she also had input in the story?
basically:

“Story by ONE! Art by Murata” - as stated in every chapter.

But i want to keep a “pure” and “infallible” image of ONE in my head as a great story teller, so it’s better for me to blame all the mistakes on Murata than assigning some responsibility to ONE.

Any problem with that?

what’s next? Saying Mengo is the OnK writer just because she also had input in the story?
basically:

There's MOUNTAINS of evidence that ONE no longer writes it. The last storyboard we know he did was the phoenix man fight. In which he delivered a 12 page storyboard which Murata turned into 3 redraws, +100 pages and entirely changed the ending of the storyboard.

You really think ONLY for the OPM manga ONE just decided to completely stop writing in his usual style and decided to have a bazillion redraws (when we know they were requested from Murata specifically) when this has NEVER been the casr in any of his other works? OPM webcomic, Mob Psycho 100, Versus, Bug Ego etc NEVER had any rewrite and all ooze of ONE's writing style. Meanwhile the manga long lost ONE's writing style and has a bazillion rewrites. And the writing style is VERY similar to Murata's attempts at writing his own oneshots at that.

And the whole "Story by ONE, Art by Murata" is a mistranslation. The original Japanese says "Original Story by ONE, Manga by Murata"

Like I stated earlier, you must be genuinely retarded to think ONE is writing the garbage that is the current manga and forcing Murata to make redraw after redraw. There's no evidence he has been writing it for the past 5 years. It's obvious he just let Murata take over so he can focus on his other works and the webcomic. The blame ONE has is that he stopped tard wrangling Murata and left him to his own devices.

Dude's a tsundere.

 

[mutsutakashi]

Did Dr bofoi really just cave cuz child emperor started crying

He is still a hero deep down, he is moved by the idea of justice after all

 

[versub]

It's dangerous to go alone. Here, take this tanktop.
Classic way to summon a giant mecha, Come!

 

[REMasher]

Crazy character development and some wild plot twists. We are spoiled by this man.

 

[Korath]

My theory: there are 2 Genos'. I dont think he faked his persona and he genuinely wanted to be a good hero. But maybe in one body. Whatever may come out of it, is probably a deep analysis of AI and how it can become human etc.

drive knight do....resemble genos kinda

 

[GamKHT]

Guys, Genos is not the mastermind... I don't remember all the details, but he stormed in Metal Knight's base because of Drive Knight and someone killed Dr. Kuseno. One of those two is probably the actual culprit

Damm, we're eating goooodddd
