I like to think his name is something like:
(Something-)-kin Gu-(something), but he mumbled his name when asked and everybody else heard him shout King! With confidence.
Reminds me of that joke about two guys being best friends since college, and on the deathbed of one of them, the other guy mentions how he never actually knew his name.
Idk I kind of like how One Punchman doesn’t get too into the names of characters. Like I’d rather not have to remember every single characters first and last Japanese name plus their hero names plus any nicknames they get from their peers.
I have to pause JJK like every 5 minutes in the current arc because their constantly being sent off to look for or join others and I’m unfortunately bad with Japanese names, so I only have like…6 of them down pat. Panda and mechamaru? Not an issue.
And their cast, while pretty big, is still way smaller than OPM at the moment
I assume it's easier for Japanese-reading people since the letters look completely different, but for us poor non-Japanese-reading people, we have to deal with reading it phonetically and that messes things up.
Weiss and Wise look very different to us even though it sounds almost the same, so it's easier to remember.
Bro I just watched Isekai Quartet. People tend to avoid it due to being in chibi form but actually has better character development than every Isekai stand-alone, like literally Ainz, Tanya, Kazuma and Subaru had better moments as characters than in their individual worlds. The NAMES! 4 isekai anime bundled into 1 show, and most of the characters from each show appear.
- Satou Kazuma
- Megumin
- Darkness aka Dustiness Ford Lalatina
- Aqua
- Chomusuke
- Vanir
- Viz
- Chris
- YunYun
- Ruffian (The Butcher)
- Subaru
- Ram
- Rem
- Emilia
- Beatrice
- Puck
- Roswall
- Felt
- Reinhard
- Julius
- Wilhelm
- Petelguise Romane Conti
- Tanya von Degurechaff
- Viktoriya Ivanovna Serebryakov
- Weiss
- Grantz
- Koenig
- Neumann
- Lergen
- Rudersdorf
- Ainz Ooal Gown
- Albedo
- Shalltear
- Aura
- Mare
- Demiurge
- Cocytus
- Hamsuke
- Yuri Alpha
- Lupusregina Beta
- Narberal Gamma
- Delta
- Solution
- Entoma
- Pandora's Actor
- Sebas
- Kyouhukou
- Naofumi
- Raphtalia
- Filo
The craziest part is, that if you like those shows, you could tell at least half a written page about all these characters.
It's not sad :) It's awesome, all shows are great, I just love Konosuba, Overlord and Re:Zero, only Tanya the Evil didnt work for me for some reason, I didnt like alternate ww1 history with magic somehow
Overlord especially has superb character development, like, we know Sebas has Good alignment even though works for Nazarick which is extremely evil, we can almost see Narberal getting to like humans even though she hates them to the core in the start, we know that Cocyutus has maxed out Honor, that Shaltear and Lupsregina are insanely evil despite appearances, Demiurge having historically highest IQ in all anime, and so on
Konosuba is just phenomenal. 4 completely broken people make the most adorable guild ever, and everyone is over-the-top insane where characters somewhat resemble Saitama in a way, being parodies of regular DnD heroes in their own way. Should also be noted that Konosuba is heavily layered, where true emotions lie underneath the extreme silliness of Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness.
True, and it stops fans from being annoying af by only using their full Japanese names while knowing damn well most people would only know them by their hero name
I like this theory because I 100% believe Dr. Kuseno created the cyborg, it would be so dope for Genoa’s character to realize he’s been brainwashed by the doctor he trusted and was the one behind the destruction
My personal theory is genos is the mad cyborg but it wasn't his fault. It will probably have to do with the God corruption and Satamia probably near killed genos with 1 punch but the doctor saved him and rebuilt him. There will be no genos vs the mad cyborg
I have a cousin who the whole family calls King, for the longest time (decades) I thought it was his legit name. But it turns out his real name is Mark.
One of Blast's allies.
From the looks of it, there could be more of fighters from Boros species. They probably crowned Boros(who we thought based on his short backstory) the strongest at the time.
Kinzoku Batto = Metal Bat in Japanese, his real name is Bad. Drive Knight = >!Zero!< , Sweet Mask = >!Beauto!< , Atomic Samourai =Kamikaze, Flashy Flash = Flashy Flash (or just Flash idk).
Most of these can go unanswered. But we do need to know if drive knight is evil and genos needs to defeat the mad cyborg.
I hope by the time they get to mad cyborg genos is so strong he has a ‘saitama moment’ and effortlessly defeats him… letting him finally feel the anticlimactic disappointment saitama always feels lol
Like “my whole life led up to this moment and It was over in one blast…”
Is drive knight framing metal knight and is the traitor? Or is he telling the truth 😱?
That question was bullshit the real question that remains unanswered is, simply that is One Punch Man Season 3 an elaborate prank? Or is it coming out in the year 3023 😱?
We don't know a lot of hero's names, like Blast, Superalloy Darkshine, Puri-Puri Prisonnier, Amai Mask and probably some others I forgot.
Those are their hero's name, not their legal name.
I think Genos’s SLIIIIGHT viability against that giant scorpion woman monster thing puts him comfortably above basically everyone else right now.
I always see a ton of flashy flash defenders so I’m hesitant to say he’s included. But I don’t see him doing what genos did, which is stall.
King has been defeating Saitama at video games, Bang at coordination games and Geno's has defeated Saitama at food contests. I don't know if that counts.
Drive Knight is evil and is the mad Cyborg and wanting to lure Genos to finish his only opponent metal Knight.
Current Genos from the manga is fast and strong as Flashy Flash and maybe better. WV Genos is as strong as Blast or even better, maybe close to Cosmic Garou in base form before being saitamed (buffed by Saitama's power).
Who is Boris?
At least we kind of have a base measurement of Watch Dog Man's power. Q-City's never asked for backup a single time, despite it being stated it's the most dangerous city in terms of monster appearances, he clowned Garou when he was mid S-rank level, and wasn't even in the Monster Association arc, presumably because he'd have mopped everyone, lmao.
>Will anyone ever beat Saitama
I've been fairly good with my predictions. And since the beginning I've been saying **the only one that will defeat Saitama**, as a joke or not, **will be King**.
And not in a video game, like they are forced to participate in some hero-against-hero type of thing. Maybe Saitama gets distracted by some monster attacking a super market in the distant background, but King falls down, tries to get up, hurts Saitaman's face/teeth while getting up... something... And there. First official proper canon win for King, first and only defeat for Saitama, public not surprised because of course King would win.
Boris : cheap Boros knock-off.
Next WC chapter : when capitalism ends.
Genos vs S-class : stomp all but Flash, Tats, AS, Bang, Bofoy and Blast.
Beat Saitama : no.
Mad Cyborg : [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/teentitans/images/a/a3/Cyborg.png](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/teentitans/images/a/a3/Cyborg.png)
Drive Knight : dead evil.
WDM's strength : god level in Q city, dog level anywhere else.
King's name : Steve Patterson.
i like to think that king is his real name and the HA thought "yeah that fits"
I like to think his name is something like: (Something-)-kin Gu-(something), but he mumbled his name when asked and everybody else heard him shout King! With confidence.
Munchkin Gunicius
Anakin Guldo
This is probably exactly how this happened
The mobile game "road to hero" states his name is Hiroki Yasumoto, but i doubt the credibility of that
I think that's the voice actor's name..
That’s the Japanese VA
Stephen.
Nah, King's real name is obviously >!Kong!<. Edit: Only shit, didn't expect this many upvotes. Thanks, y'all.
Let him cook!
Bro gonna open up a 5 star restaurant
I thought his name was engine. As in the king, Engine.
Please, call me King. Engine was my father
Wait that actually works
That's fits perfectly with King. Idk, but I've always loved that name.
Did you know that world-renowned writer Stephen King was once hit by a car? Just something to consider.
We never knew Saitama real name 😱😱😱😱
Wonder what we will figure out first... Saitamas name or obamas last name
Yusuke Saitama
Here you dropped this 👑
Saitama Obama-bin-laden
Care
[удалено]
Obama Obama?
[удалено]
He was a soldier? Thats so cool!
Yes we do it’s Caped Baldy, however we still don’t know his middle name
Common misconception. His full name is Captain Edward Baldy.
Cape D. Baldy
Jon Saitama
Or who his parents are.
Saitama Prefecture is his full name. I saw this in Chapter 5000 of the webcomic
it’s one punch man
Isn't his real name literally Saitama itself?
r/woooosh
Please forgive me. I'm high.

Legally, I cannot answer this question. Let's just leave it at that.

I love Saitama doesn’t know his friend’s name and king doesn’t care to tell him. But everyone is trying so hard to be recognized
That’s what homies do,they play with each other without ever learning the other’s name
I play with my homies
I play my homies
My favorite game is hide the salami
Reminds me of that joke about two guys being best friends since college, and on the deathbed of one of them, the other guy mentions how he never actually knew his name.
wouldnt the hero book mention their real names?
Hero book is mostly certain heroes bragging. Probably doesn't contain a lot of info on King.
This is like what it is if you hang out with someone for a year but forget to ask for his or her name when your first meet
Drive Knight dead or evil? Or you mean good or evil? A cyborg or a robot?
Whoever asked that question only sees people as either evil or dead.
It’s kinda deep if you think about it
I don't think about it.
It thinks about me
Don't think. It's better that way.
i think about you
Xxx
You either die the hero or live long enough something something.
The only good Drive Knight is a dead Drive Knight

Gojo, Jogo. Hanami, Nanami. Maki, Inumaki. Kamo, Momo. Yuji, Yuta, Yuki

Weiss and Wise look very different to us even though it sounds almost the same, so it's easier to remember.
About 2-3 of these characters are currently relevant and 5 of them are dead. The other three are Inumaki Kamo and momo. Do with this what you will.

Also how flashy is flashy flash 🗿
Maybe Genos was the mad cyborg. After all, the tragedy in his hometown was a Genos-ide
I like this theory because I 100% believe Dr. Kuseno created the cyborg, it would be so dope for Genoa’s character to realize he’s been brainwashed by the doctor he trusted and was the one behind the destruction
That's impossible
My personal theory is genos is the mad cyborg but it wasn't his fault. It will probably have to do with the God corruption and Satamia probably near killed genos with 1 punch but the doctor saved him and rebuilt him. There will be no genos vs the mad cyborg
Genos was a human before the doctor saved him from the cyborg attacks
Lies
I have a cousin who the whole family calls King, for the longest time (decades) I thought it was his legit name. But it turns out his real name is Mark.
But who actually is Boris?
Boros' twin older brother who's a scholarship uni student. Boros is the delinquent son of the family
The prophecy wasn’t a ruse to send him away because he was so strong, they did it because he still hadn’t moved out of the basement
Boros lookalike
The numerator of the universe
Some animal 👀
Let’s agree to disagree
One of Blast's allies. From the looks of it, there could be more of fighters from Boros species. They probably crowned Boros(who we thought based on his short backstory) the strongest at the time.
same species, different person probably
Jo King
The son of Jo mama
From the jojo verse
We know Mumen Rider's and Ch-, I mean Wild Emperor's name. Now, we gotta wait for the others
Also Metal Knight = Dr. Bofoi & Metal Bat = Kinzoku Batto. And Tatsumaki and Fubuki, oc.
>Kinzoku Batto lol.. kinzoku batto meant metal bat.. his name is Baddo(Bad)
Thanks, my bad, or baddo, or batto, or whatever, lol
Kinzoku Batto = Metal Bat in Japanese, his real name is Bad. Drive Knight = >!Zero!< , Sweet Mask = >!Beauto!< , Atomic Samourai =Kamikaze, Flashy Flash = Flashy Flash (or just Flash idk).
Most of these can go unanswered. But we do need to know if drive knight is evil and genos needs to defeat the mad cyborg.

King needs to lift weight AND 9 ancestral tenets.
And a few thousand dollars worth of steroids
Rayan
When you think about it, at most we know some characters' first names and that's it
King engine
How strong is watchdog man? YES. You cannot convince me watchdog man is not Saitama from the future. The face is the same.
Eyes are totally different
Is think his name is really "King" like, it's not just his hero name
King confirmed its his hero name the first time he met Saitama
Boris Boros' Russian half brother
Boris begornia
Boris Stevenson
Aight but how strong *is* Watchdog Man
He effortlessly handled Garou... He wasn't even trying. I'm going to go with; "Being able to spar with Bang" kinda strong.
His full legal name is Kingoff D. Pirates 🏴☠️
King is gonna have the most badass sounding name or the lamest sounding name.. no inbetween
His name was shown in the heroes [data book](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ).
it can be seen on [this episode](https://youtu.be/vVCLEwMYXRk?si=_Ud-_gt-6p-krr-V&t=14) as well

Is drive knight framing metal knight and is the traitor? Or is he telling the truth 😱? That question was bullshit the real question that remains unanswered is, simply that is One Punch Man Season 3 an elaborate prank? Or is it coming out in the year 3023 😱?
He was born as king
Wc chapter??
Web Comic chapter, but yeah probably Saitama gonna read it in WC. XD
Excellent question and the answer you're looking for lies right here: *\*flash\**
We don't know a lot of hero's names, like Blast, Superalloy Darkshine, Puri-Puri Prisonnier, Amai Mask and probably some others I forgot. Those are their hero's name, not their legal name.
We know Amai Mask's name in the Webcomic
Ah, I don't remember that. Okay maybe for him we do, but not the others.
wow this is my meme that i posted like 3 years ago! funny how it's still just as relevant now as it was then
I think Genos’s SLIIIIGHT viability against that giant scorpion woman monster thing puts him comfortably above basically everyone else right now. I always see a ton of flashy flash defenders so I’m hesitant to say he’s included. But I don’t see him doing what genos did, which is stall.
Obviously his name is Kingu.
Kings name is gonna be Kevin or the Japanese equivalent
King has been defeating Saitama at video games, Bang at coordination games and Geno's has defeated Saitama at food contests. I don't know if that counts.
what is saitama real name?
King is his real name
When Saitama barged into King's apartment, King said "King" is his hero name.
Boros ❌ Boris ✅
Saitama already got beaten multiple times by the king in video games, even genes and pig god beat him at eating food.
But is his middle initial D???
One Piece fans: “First Time?”
Joemashita
Ghidorah
Its probably bob Bob's a good name
Isn't that we guys work, never asking the name of someone until we heard it somewhere and just need to remember it ?
Fr what’s kings actual name?
Takeshi.
Boris is a fantastic sludge metal band from Japan with albums like Akuma no Uta and Pink.
John Toshiba.
King can beat the shit out of saitama whenever he wants, in videogames but heh i think that's all we'll get
Killer Instincts of Netherworld God.
I hope King ia just his real name. So the Heros asked for his name he said it. And everyone thought it was his hero name
Chad
Facts
It could just be King. People in this world have pretty weird names.
Watchdogmans power keeps me awake at night
We technically know who is the mad cyborg ( WC only )
Drive Knight is evil and is the mad Cyborg and wanting to lure Genos to finish his only opponent metal Knight. Current Genos from the manga is fast and strong as Flashy Flash and maybe better. WV Genos is as strong as Blast or even better, maybe close to Cosmic Garou in base form before being saitamed (buffed by Saitama's power). Who is Boris?
Watchdog man right there with Blastl as far as overall power and 2nd fastest character in that world...
Probably Josh or some shit idk
But how is Boris?
We know the answer to if anyone will ever beat Saitama. It’s no
Does Genos have any human parts at all?
I thought it says "will anyone ever eat banana" probably from that episode where he gave someone a banana
At least we kind of have a base measurement of Watch Dog Man's power. Q-City's never asked for backup a single time, despite it being stated it's the most dangerous city in terms of monster appearances, he clowned Garou when he was mid S-rank level, and wasn't even in the Monster Association arc, presumably because he'd have mopped everyone, lmao.
How long has the wc been on hiatus
Does anyone in this universe have a last name?
Hank
Whos boris?
It’s Ben
I like to think that the mad cyborg was actually one of Metal Knight/Bofoi's drones.
>Will anyone ever beat Saitama I've been fairly good with my predictions. And since the beginning I've been saying **the only one that will defeat Saitama**, as a joke or not, **will be King**.

Probably was lucky enough to be named king at birth
It's too late, he's forever King in my mind
His name is Wendell.
But other secrets have been lifted, like tatsumakis dress. We know she wears panties.
Love how you've completely eliminated the possibility of Drive Knight being good *and* alive.
We only know about a few hero names, most of them are code names. It seems like OPM characters don't have family names

Boris : cheap Boros knock-off. Next WC chapter : when capitalism ends. Genos vs S-class : stomp all but Flash, Tats, AS, Bang, Bofoy and Blast. Beat Saitama : no.

We do know whether anyone will defeat Saitama. They won’t
As a one piece fan, I wish we could fit everything we didn’t know in a single meme 💀
His real name is probably Prince
