Genos

Personality:   Genos (ジェノス, Jenosu) is the deuteragonist of One-Punch Man. He is a 19-year-old cyborg and the disciple of Saitama. He is always aiming to become more powerful and he fights for justice. Under the Hero Association, he is given the name Demon Cyborg (鬼おにサイボーグ, Oni Saibōgu) and is currently S-Class Rank 12. Genos is a mechanical cyborg of average human height. His face and ears look like that of a normal human, made of artificial skin material, and his eyes have black sclera with yellow irises. He has spiky blond hair and his eyebrows are blond (brown in the anime). He also has pierced ears. Genos's wardrobe consists of street clothes with all of his upper-body attire being sleeveless as to allow his arms to transform without hassle. He has many different sets of arms, with varying abilities and strengths. Notable examples of his various "arms" are those he used in his sparring match against Saitama. Genos is an extremely serious character, rarely if ever making jokes. He constantly aims to become stronger and frequently looks to Saitama for advice to achieve his goals. Since becoming Saitama's disciple, Genos is very reverent and protective towards Saitama (who he refers to as "master"). Genos envies and reveres Saitama, although this does not stop him from expressing annoyance and disbelief at the mundane training regimen Saitama used to gain his powers. The design of his face is based on his previous appearance as a human at the same age (19 years old currently). He has a built-in sleep mode. Cleaning his body requires a high-pressure shower, like a car wash. The sphere-shaped arm components are for everyday use. Genos cuts off his sleeves because his shoulders can't fit in them. He also thinks that they are ugly. Furthermore, he thinks that it is troublesome when he is using the weapons in his arms. Genos got his piercings after he became a cyborg. Genos is too heavy to swim under normal circumstances. His right hand comes with a built-in vegetable peeler. The palms also contain ports that allow him to blast out warm air to dry dishes. In an official illustration, a drink bottle opener is built into his right shoulder. In the manga's Q&A special, it was commented that Genos (when equipped with 'housework arms') can become a top-class housekeeper. Powers: Immense Speed and Reflexes: Genos is very agile and can move so fast that he appears to be teleporting. He was able to keep up with Speed-o'-Sound Sonic for a considerable amount of time in their battle, with both of them moving faster than Fubuki could see. Immense Endurance: Genos's body is almost completely artificial and does not have the same vulnerabilities that completely organic beings possess. In conventional terms, he does not experience fatigue since his performance and abilities are contingent on the condition of his cybernetics, the energy supply in his core, and the energy output of his core. His body is constructed from highly durable materials and can only be damaged when external forces surpass the limits of those materials. Genos can continue fighting without much drawback even with portions of his body missing. Apart from this, he seldom displays significant signs of physical stress. Radiation Resistance: As a cyborg, Genos possesses a remarkable resistance to lethal radiation that can swiftly incapacitate even powerful individuals such as heroes, including those of S-Class caliber. Prolonged exposure to such radiation is ultimately fatal for them, whereas Genos can endure it without succumbing to its effects. Full-body Cyborg Enhancement: Genos's entire body has been replaced with combat-ready cybernetics and prostheses, giving him an extreme level of strength and speed, as well as advanced sensors and projectile attacks. All of his parts have made Genos too heavy to swim and he needs special parts in order to do so.[27] In addition to these modifications, Dr. Kuseno gave Genos the ability to taste and made it so his cybernetic body turns organic intake into biofuel, presumably to power his person.[28] He has been shown eating on multiple occasions like when he engages in an eating contest with Saitama[29] and when he eats hotpot at Saitama's apartment. Core (コア, Koa): Genos's body is powered by an energy sphere labeled "CORE." It is attached to his body by a single cable and is held inside his chest. During his attempt to destroy the meteor, Genos removed the core from his chest and placed it in a similar holding place in his arm, in Arms Mode, to direct all the energy into his Incineration Cannon.[31][2] During his fight with Psykos and Orochi, it transpires that the core is a nuclear reactor.[32] In addition, the core can record everything happening around it even if Genos is dead, as seen in the Ominous Future. Armor and Replacement Parts: Genos benefits from the nature of robotic equipment itself. He can lose limbs or have his body torn apart, only to return in perfect or even an improved condition through replacement parts and repairs. As a cyborg, Genos does not seem to feel pain to the same extent as regular humans and can keep fighting even when limbs are severed or he is severely injured. Genos's durability is high enough that despite taking several powerful blows from Carnage Kabuto[34] and having one of his own powerful blasts reflected at him,[35] he was still conscious and able to stand and walk. Cyborg Leg (サイボーグレッグ, Saibōgureggu): Genos's legs have a durable design to support high-speed movement. They are equipped with a shock-absorbing mechanism that keeps the interval between landing and the next movement short.[2] And from his Post-Super-Fight-Arc Upgrade onward, Genos has rocket boosters installed in his legs which allow him to perform powerful kinetic kick attacks, an example of this is his Jet Drive Arrow. Incineration Cannons (焼却砲, Shōkyaku-hō): Genos's palms contain ports that allow him to fire large, powerful blasts of heat, fire, or plasma across significant distances. One blast was powerful enough to obliterate the multi-story above-ground headquarters of the House of Evolution, as well as the top of the mountain it was situated on and a large chunk of a mountain far in the distance behind the building.[37] His Incineration Cannons have varying levels of power depending on what set of arms he is currently using. For example, when utilizing Arms Mode, Genos's arms can produce even stronger blasts.[38] When using his Arms for Chores he can reduce the power of his blasts to a warm breeze to dry dishes. Hyper Sensors (ハイパーセンサー, Haipāsensā): Genos's cyborg body contains several passive and active sensors which allow him to scan the environment, such as detecting living organisms, fast approaching objects, high-energy bodies and many other anomalies, thus keeping him on guard.[2] However; the sensors are not perfect, as they can still be confused by the extreme speed of an opponent like Saitama or by certain monsters like Elder Centipede who are so large that Genos's sensors identify it as many different enemies. Their usefulness is also limited by Genos's reaction time. Detachable Body Parts: Genos first sported detachable and recallable arms during his fight with G4, where the arms were retrieved with a cable.[41] During his fight with Garou, his hands are upgraded to be able to detach from his body with ease and are armed with rocket boosters to be controlled by Genos remotely. It is also armed with steel wire to restrain opponents.[42] Genos also reattached his torso with his lower body when he was cut in two during his battle against Elder Centipede. Arm-Blades: Genos's arms are armed with razor-sharp blades. These debuted in his Post-Super-Fight-Arc Upgrade. He used them to kill a number of low ranking members of the Monster Association sent to assist Garou[44][43] as well as to blind Elder Centipede during their fight, to seemingly no avail.[43] Boosters (ブースター, Būsutā):[2] Once engaged, these boosters located in Genos' shoulders and elbows enable amazing acceleration and limited flight. Using his palms for jet propulsion in the opposite direction, he can perform rapid maneuvers. The upgrades given to Genos by Dr. Kuseno before the Monster Association raid have given these boosters greater power, granting Genos the ability to travel upwards at great heights. Arms for Chores: When not in battle, Genos can change into special arms dedicated to house chores. His right hand comes with a built-in vegetable peeler[28] and his palms also allow him to generate a warm breeze to dry dishes.[46] It was also commented that Genos could be the number one housekeeper.[47] List of Upgrades Anti-Saitama Tactical Arms: These are a set of replacements Genos used during the National Superhero Registry Arc when Genos and Saitama sparred in the quarry. These arms are differentiated from his normal arms by being black, having much larger shoulders, forearms, and fists and generating an orange glow between the plates of metal. Arms Mode (アームズモード, Āmuzu Mōdo): A prototype weapon system. When inactive, it takes the form of a suitcase.[49][50] To activate it, Genos pushes a button on the handle and then throws it in front of him.[51] The suitcase splits down the middle and separates, each half then opening to reveal the "arms" inside. The arms then clasp over Genos's arms. When the "arms" fully attach, parts run up his shoulders and neck and his face is framed by pieces of metal.[52] The new arms are much thicker and are all black, with the blaster on his palm having changed shape as well.[53] While using these arms, Genos was shown to be able to move his core to the bicep of his left arm, directing all of his power into a massive blast.[54] Arms Mode bares a striking resemblance to Genos's Anti-Saitama Tactical Arms, possibly alluding to the former being an upgraded version of the latter. Post-Sea-Monster-Arc Upgrade: After his battle against Deep Sea King, Genos now has the ability to detach his limbs, namely his hands, as seen in his fight against G4 when he used Rocket Punch. His limbs are only semi-detachable as they are still connected to the main body via a cable.[55] According to the Virtual Genocide System's (VGS) simulations, with this upgrade Genos would be able to defeat Mosquito Girl and Deep Sea King even in his wet form with relative ease. However, the Virtual Genocide System's (VGS) simulations also show that Normal Carnage Kabuto would still beat Genos in two attacks even with the upgrade. G4 Upgrade: After defeating the battle robot G4, Genos replaces his parts with the parts of G4 which enhanced his speed and power. After this upgrade the design of Genos's arms changes again. His shoulders are larger than previous upgrades with two pieces of shoulder armor on top of one another both with holes in them to allow heat to escape and slot drive screw-like joints for his shoulders to move. His arms appear as if they are wrapped in metal tape with rivets all along them going down to his wrists and he has the same slot drive screw-like joints on his elbows. His hair also received fiber enhancements to make his hair resistant to shock and heat.[57] Moreover, he is equipped with adhesive gel. Post-Super-Fight-Arc Upgrade: After being heavily damaged by Gouketsu, Dr. Kuseno rebuilds Genos into a new version that further increases his strength. With these upgrades, he was capable of gaining an advantage against Garou in combat, albeit Garou was in his weakened state at the time, prompting the Hero Hunter to compliment his abilities and even comparing his physical strength to that of Tanktop Master.[59] Furthermore, Genos can now recall his body parts if they get detached.[60] Additionally, he can summon blades from his arms that he used to slice through a horde of low-level monsters during the battle against Garou.[61] He used these against Elder Centipede's exposed face later.[62] His arms also have an almost net-like ability that he used to bind Garou to a tree after his arm was ripped off. Monster Association Arc Upgrade: After Genos's battle against Elder Centipede, Dr. Kuseno upgraded Genos once again to a new form. This form has sharper and more jagged arms than his previous forms with 3 large protrusions on each shoulder resembling knives, in this upgrade he takes on an almost demon-like appearance. Additionally, the blaster ports in his palms take the form of gaping demon mouths and there are what appear to be tubes or wires coming from each of his arms connecting to the back of his head, forming a metal framing around his face.[64] What sets this upgrade apart from others even further is its full black appearance,[65] compared to previous upgrades that were a mix of black and other colored metals, or no black at all. The armor is also arranged as overlapping plates rather than plates that abut one another. This form is unbalanced and focuses heavily on raw destructive power, at the request of Genos, because of Saitama's suggestions. Dr. Kuseno stated that Genos can only go full-power with this new upgrade for 10 seconds. Any more and his core would possibly give out and explode, killing Genos.[66] In this form, Genos has beam emitters integrated along his arms & shoulders that he can use to attack enemies around him while he is otherwise occupied. These beams bend and arc towards his enemies similar to those of G4, indicating that Dr. Kuseno integrated the technology into this upgrade.[67] At full power, stated by himself, Genos is capable of firing energy beams powerful enough to destroy a giant meteor in one shot. With this, he managed to deflect the fusion of Psykos and Orochi's energy attacks with his own.[68] With his ten-second last resort attack, True Spiral Incineration Cannon, Genos was even able to match and completely negate one of the fusion monster's largest energy beams using said attack. The heat generated by the attack melted the armor over his core and left his arms glowing white-hot. Post-Psychic-Sisters-Arc Upgrade: At some point after the final battle with Monster Association, Genos received another upgrade from Dr. Kuseno. His appearance in this form has arms that resemble his Arms Mode and a core that is now visible on his chest. Genos claims that in this form he has enough firepower to fight Dragon-level threats.[70][71] This is proven correct as he no sooner is able to defeat the Dragon-level threat, Forest king, by himself, while Tanktop Master was helpless against it. Genos was also able to dispatch an army of forest folks almost instantly.[72] Genos gains a new ability with this upgrade called Lightning Core, which produces an extremely bright, blinding light from the core in his chest.[73] Though, no further features of this ability, if any exist, are shown as Genos soon stopped the spar after realizing that Saitama was not impressed with his strength.[74] When stopping his punch in front of Saitama, Genos was able to release a powerful shockwave, similar to Saitama's at the end of their first spar, enough to cause significant destruction in the direction of the punch.[75] Additionally, his speed has shown to increase considerably, as seen when he could keep up with Flashy Flash in combat during their short scuffle, although it is likely that the fellow S-Class hero held back his true speed.[76] Fighting Style Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Thanks to his cyborg physiology and experience, Genos is one of the most proficient fighters in the series. Genos can utilize his various enhancements to distract opponents and calculate how powerful they are, as well the exact amount of power he'll need for battle and, as the series goes on, Genos improves his skills and capabilities as a cyborg. He makes use of a large variety of weaponry and upgrades in battle and is a very capable fighter in both close quarters and long-range fighting. He is skilled enough in hand-to-hand combat to fight the likes of Speed-o'-Sound Sonic[85] and Deep Sea King, even at a disadvantage, he could fight on par with the latter for a short time despite having just one arm.[86] Howeverhe's still not a match for other extremely skilled fighters such as Bang or Garou. Machine Gun Blow (マシンガンブロー, Mashingan Burō): Genos throws a chain of fast punches.
