So do you guys remember when mp100 first came out, and everyone was joking about Mob being Saitama’s son?
What if it’s the other way around?
- mp100 is set in 2012, opm is somewhere in the future. If we assume Mob had Saitama in his mid-20s, and Saitama is 25 in opm, that puts opm set somewhere in the 2050s. Based on the technological state of the opm world, that’s not super farfetched.
- Saitama got his powers after putting himself through something that was really physically and mentally straining for him… that’s pretty much, by definition, an awakening.
- And we’ve seen espers with physical/combat-based abilities before!
- Mob and Saitama as a middle schooler look A LOT alike. Obviously we can partly attribute this to ONE’s style, but still…
- They’ve also got pretty similar demeanors, and Saitama is pretty much always trying to do the right thing regardless of the trouble it causes him personally… where do you think he picked that up?
- This would also make his name Saitama Kageyama, which is just… really cute.
That’s an adorable idea and I’m fully on board while I picture Papa Mobu constantly worrying about Saitama’s well being (it doesn’t matter that he’s invincible), and constantly arguing himself about whether he can visit or not because he doesn’t want Saitama to feel like he’s overbearing but he really does want to go over and just check on his boy.
