“	I am willing to do anything to become more powerful. However, I can't picture myself coming even close to attaining teacher's power.	„
	~ Genos

“	You claim to be master's rival? How presumptuous and shameless! Get lost... or I'll eliminate you.	„
	~ Genos facing off with Sonic

“	You appear to be the Hero Hunter. So I am going to exterminate you.	„
	~ Genos threatening Garou

“	I will not lose again.	„
	~ Genos

“

King: Mr. Genos risked his life to save Miss Tatsumaki. It was truly admirable! Saitama: So that's why! You really hung in there, Genos! Nice fight! Genos: Master... when the time came for me to self-destruct, I was no longer able to do it. Can one truly say I've become stronger? Saitama: I don't really get it, but you didn't blow up, right? [touches his core] That means this part here got stronger too, doesn't it?

“	I will eliminate you.	„

Summary

Genos is the deuteragonist of One-Punch Man.

He is a 19-year-old S-Class cyborg hero, currently ranked 14th. After a rampaging cyborg destroyed his hometown and family, he requested Dr. Kuseno to transform him into a cyborg for revenge. Impressed by Saitama's strength during a near-death battle, he became his disciple, and now lives with and learns from him, even though his strict adherence to Saitama's casual remarks often leads him into unnecessary trouble.

Genos utilizes his cyborg abilities in combat, showcasing a wide range of styles from close-quarters to long-range attacks. Despite his high combat capabilities, even being able to face off against disaster level Demon and, later, Dragon monsters, his overconfidence and commitment to protect civilians often result in defeat. Each setback, however, serves as a learning curve for him, prompting incessant self-improvement and upgrades courtesy of Dr. Kuseno.

1/4

Standard Equipment: His Core, a special device that supplies energy for all his functions. Various attachments and upgrades, including:

• Incineration Cannons: (焼却砲, Shōkyaku-hō) Genos' palms are equipped with special cannons that release streams of heat and flame on command. A blast from his palms was enough to completely vaporize the House of Evolution and part of a mountain behind it.
• Anti-Saitama Arms: A special pair of arms with even more cannons built into the forearms and fists, allowing him to unleash even more powerful and wide-ranged blasts.
• Arms Mode A prototype weapon system that Genos carries with him in the form of a suitcase. It allows Genos to move the core position to one of his shoulders, allowing him to channel energy directly into one of his arms for even greater output.
• G4 Arms: A pair of arms created from the parts of the G4 robot, these greatly increase Genos' power and speed, allowing him to keep up with Speed-o'-Sound Sonic and giving him enough power to casually dispatch multiple Demon-level monsters in a short timeframe.
• Boosters: Genos is equipped with several boosters that allow him to fly for short periods as well as hover across the ground at high speed with incredible acceleration and maneuverability.
• Sensors: Genos has multiple built-in sensors that act as a radar and allow him to scan the environment to find and track his opponents in and out of combat. However, they can still be fooled by sufficiently fast opponents (such as Saitama) and are limited by Genos's own reaction time.
• Adhesive Gel: A tool Genos gained after his fight with Sonic to deal with opponents faster than him. The gel is exceptionally sticky, preventing fast opponents from moving and allowing Genos to defeat them.
• Detachable arms: During his fight with Garou, his hands are upgraded to be detachable and are armed with a remote-controlled rocket booster. It is also loaded with restraining strings to restrain opponents.
• Arm-Blade: Genos's arms are armed with razor-sharp blades.

Intelligence: Gifted (Genos, a seasoned warrior, boasts a track record of obliterating numerous monsters and criminal organizations single-handedly. Excelling in both close and long-range combat, he can swiftly assault adversaries with a barrage of punches and accurately decimate targets with his Incineration Cannons. Beyond his martial prowess, Genos exhibits commendable intelligence, attaining a flawless score on the Hero Exam – a test with a significant written component – and swiftly rising to the rank of S-Class Hero. Despite his skills, his youthful impulsiveness often compromises his caution, leading to defeat on multiple occasions. Since his encounter with Sonic, however, he has incorporated strategic elements in his fighting style, such as trapping swifter foes using adhesive gel)

Weaknesses: Genos tends to be incautious in combat, often sustaining significant damage due to lowered vigilance. His core operates with a limited power supply, and its destruction would incapacitate him entirely. His fortunes appear unfavorable, frequently compelling him to confront adversaries who significantly surpass his combat abilities. | He can maintain his full power for merely 10 seconds before courting the risk of self-destruction.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: As the series progresses, Genos hones his skills and capabilities as a cyborg. He adeptly employs his multitude of enhancements not only to distract adversaries but also to assess their power accurately. This precision allows him to calculate the exact amount of strength required for each encounter. Known for his competence in both close-quarters and long-range combat, he uses a variety of weapons and upgrades in battle. Notably, he has demonstrated sufficient prowess in hand-to-hand combat to match opponents such as Speed-o'-Sound Sonic and Deep Sea King. Even when disadvantaged, he was able to contend with the Deep Sea King for an extended duration, despite being handicapped with only one arm.

  • Spiral Incineration Cannon (螺旋焼却砲, Rasen Shōkyaku-hō): An improved version of Genos's Incineration Cannon with the upgraded version of Genos's original incineration cannons received after the Super Fight Arc. It was first used against Phoenix Man but is blocked by Elder Centipede. The attack is strong enough to damage Senior Centipede's carapace.
  • Super Spiral Incineration Cannon (超螺旋焼却砲, Chō Rasen Shōkyaku-hō): A variation of Spiral Incineration Cannon where Genos uses more energy than usual by firing the incinerating blast directly from the core. First used against Elder Centipede. The attack was capable of burning Elder Centipede's insides, making him molt, though it wasn't sufficient enough to permanently end Elder Centipede's life
• Self Destruct (自爆, Jibaku): If there is no chance of winning in combat, Genos can destroy himself and hopefully his opponent by overheating his core. He first attempted to use it during his fight against Mosquito Girl but stopped after Saitama interfered.
• Machine Gun Blow (マシンガンブロー, Mashingan Burō): Genos throws a chain of fast punches. It is strong enough to shatter a cliff face. It was first used against Carnage Kabuto.
• Dual Blade Rush (デュアルブレードラッシュ, Dyuaru Burēdo Rasshu): Genos jumps in the air, equips both arm blades, and rushes towards the target with his rocket boosters and proceeds to stab the opponent rapidly. It was first used against Elder Centipede when Genos tried to fight him alone.
• Boost Attack (ブーストアタツク, Būsuto Atakku): After using his left arm for jet propulsion in the opposite direction, Genos maneuvers towards his opponent and hits them with a strong kick from his left leg. It was first used against the Deep Sea King.
• Rocket Punch (ロケットパンチ, Roketto Panchi): Genos's forearm is retractable due to a cable connected to his elbow, which gives this attack great range. Genos punches his opponent with extreme force, amplified with boosters inside his lower arm. After the punch, his arm retracts back to its previous state. It was first used against G4.
• Lightning Eye (来航眼, Raikōgan): (Anime-only) Genos uses his eye to produce a blinding flash of light. It was first used against the Deep Sea King.
• High Voltage Fist (ハイボルテジフィスト, Hai Boruteji Fisuto): Genos chokes his opponent with a powerful, electricity-imbued hand and shocks them with it.
• Rocket Stomp (ロケットストンプ, Roketto Sutonpu): Genos leaps up above his opponent and then propels himself downwards with the rocket boosters on his back to stomp them into the ground.
• Lightning Core (雷光核, Raikō Kaku): Genos uses his core to produce a blinding flash of light. It was used during the second sparring match between Saitama and Genos.
• Jet Drive Arrow (ジェットドライブアロー, Jetto Doraibu Arō): Genos uses his rocket booster at full power to deliver a powerful kinetic kick while his leg releases sharp blades in the shape of an arrowhead. It is strong enough to break one of Elder Centipede's teeth.
