I love how the Class-S plan of action is a very, very firm, “Everyone who isn’t Class-S has to stay aboveground. Only Class-S heroes are going down there. No, not even you can go, Amai Mask.” But no one bats an eye about Atomic Samurai bringing his students with him. Looks like Class-S as a whole treats Iaian, Okamaitachi, and Bushidrill like they may as well be part of their ranks despite Amai Mask’s refusal to let them move up any further.
Truthfully, being a master to Genos is a terrifying thing, at least if one isn’t Saitama. I think this older manga image and this anime still capture the feeling perfectly.
There is not an ounce of kindness in that eye, nor a hint of hesitation in the way he presses home his attacks.
In the moment, he really wants you dead.
Actually, what he really wants is to be beaten down, take the battle data away with him, learn, adapt and try it all over again. Until he kills you.
It’s not personal. He just wants to be strong, and you’re his stepping stone. I’ll probably write more on that sooner rather than later.
With anyone else bar Saitama, sooner or later, this would have ended in tragedy.
Thankfully, it’s Saitama and he made it abundantly clear that he will not be stepped on. So much so he can even afford to look upon it as a game, one that Genos is welcome to repeat any day.
You do you, Saitama. And thank you for being the perfect master. You’re a terrible teacher, but for this dangerously over-intense guy, you’re perfect.
