Genos

Genos, also known as Demon Cyborg, is the deuteragonist of One Punch Man series.
== Charactah Account ==
Genos was an ordinary young man until a rogue cyborg destroyed his home town and killed everyone he loved. He was mortally wounded, but a kind scientist saved his life and rebuilt his body. Genos traveled the world in the hopes of tracking down the cyborg responsible for killing his parents, but chooses to settle down with Saitama after a while in the hopes of also becoming more powerful. Whereas Saitama has raw, undeniable strength, Genos has everything else. That is, looks, intelligence, dedication, money, style, and appeal.
As an S-Class hero, Genos is undoubtedly a powerful fighter. For someone his age, Genos also has significant battle experience, as he claims to have defeated countless evil entities and organizations before meeting Saitama. His youth and impulsiveness still overcome him on occasion, and he remains much weaker than Saitama. Despite his impressive growth, he is still unable to face off against dragon level threats. However, after his fight with Sonic, Genos has become more open to using tricks to gain the upperhand. His fights with Face Ripper, Awakened Cockroach, and Garou demonstrate that he's no longer thinking about raw power and is considering defensive measures.[11][12][13] Virtual Genocide System's (VGS) simulations show Genos (after his G4 upgrade) with a 70% chance of victory against any disaster level demon monster.

== Trivia ==
* Genos is ranked 4th in the popularity poll.
* When designing Genos, Murata tried pairing him with Kaneda's jacket from Akira and even referenced Tetsuo's appearance. Looking back, he thinks those early sketches were so "over the top."
* According to the databook:
** What he likes are Saitama's teachings and oiled sardine.
** What he dislikes are people who look down on Saitama and complicated electronics.
** His hobbies are surfing the internet, reading, and writing in his diary.
** Genos is the first new S-Class hero in 2 years however this is contradicted in Weapon where Metal Bat is promoted to S-Class one year ago.
* The origin of his hero name comes from his aggressive attacks without being afraid of any vicious monsters or disasters.
* Genos's signature move, Machine Gun Blow, may be a reference to Street Fighter, in which the Machine Gun Blow is one of Dudley's special moves.
* Only one week after he joined the Hero Association, Genos was ranked #6 in popularity by the public and in the Top 5 most handsome heroes.
* Murata once drew Genos as a female.
* ONE has said that Genos is rather powerful even among the S-Class heroes.
* Genos's tears are made of oil.
* Despite every part of him besides his human brain becoming mechanized, Genos still has the ability to eat. He attributed this to Dr. Kuseno wanting him to be able to still enjoy things as a human would.
* 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.
* ONE stated a fight between him and Sonic would end in a draw.
* When not in battle, Genos can change into special arms dedicated for house chores:
** 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.
* In order to become stronger, Genos carries with him extremely detailed "training diaries." A common running gag is that he will immediately scribble down any "words of wisdom" and "training techniques" from Saitama. However, much of the information seems "irrelevant" such as detailed drawings of how to "properly hold and read a manga while slouching on a futon," how to hang laundry on the washing line, and nutritional reports of Saitama's food. Only King seems to realize how useless this so-called "wisdom" is.
* The One Punch Man Notes: Secret Compos Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 designs are based of Genos' "training diaries" Notebook.
* 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.
* During a stream, Murata drew a Genos-Cinderella alternative universe, featuring Genos as "Deshiderella" (弟子デレラ, Deshi derera) and Saitama as the Prince, with the quote “I’m a Prince for a hobby!” The other characters were, King as The King, Tatsumaki as The Stepmother, Sonic and Fubuki as The Stepsisters, and Dr. Kuseno as The Fairy God Mother.
* In Murata's stream when describing what ethnicity the characters would be in the real world Murata stated Genos looks German.
* In the 2017 One-Punch Man Halloween cover, Genos was depicted twice:
** The first depiction shows a bunny Genos with golden arms holding the tube of a rabbit-shaped vacuum cleaner in one hand and a pink duster in the other. In this form he wears a bowtie, a pair of black bunny ears, a white scut and trouser braces.
** The second depiction shows a devilish Genos with purple wings, a pair of horns and a black armor. Genos is also holding a demonic carpet beater and a frying pan.
* Murata wanted to call the move Genos did inside Elder Centipede "Super Spiral Incineration Cannon", but ONE suggested on simply using "Super Incineration Cannon".
* Murata noted that Promoted Rook's design was based on ONE's illustration of Genos's dreaming of his new designs. Dragon King is also a pun to Genos's fighting image of a dragon when he used Thunder Drill Cannon.
* Genos' eye (in the anime) has PSO-1 Russian reticle (Pritsel Snaipersky Optichesky, "Optical Sniper Sight"), commonly used in the Dragunov rifle.
