Genos vs Mad Cyborg theories

(Crossposted from reddit)

These are probably incoherent ramblings. I’ve been speculating on what could potentially happen in the Mad Cyborg arc, and what would happen if Genos were to face off against it. I’ve mapped out some pathways here.

Genos one-shots the Mad Cyborg

Even after getting the greatest upgrade, losing Dr. Kuseno and preparing years for this face-off… his new upgrade or the mad cyborg’s surprising weakness allows him to one-shot it. Then he would get no satisfaction at all from killing him, which ties in nicely with ONE’s theme: being hellbent on revenge isn’t worth it. Instead, work toward a new path—which was what Genos was doing (learning how to live like a human teenager with Saitama) before Drive Knight came along and pointed him toward MC… SCREW YOU, DK! Genos will also realise how Saitama feels about ‘ultimate power’ after oneshotting: ultimate power does not grant one satisfaction at all.

There's another thing that might fit under this theory heading: The Mad Cyborg doesn't even remember Genos. He's either too crazy to remember him, he was too mindless when following orders when he destroyed the town or in too much of a blood frenzy and doesn't remember individuals, or he simply doesn't remember Genos. This can make Genos super angry and oneshots him.

Genos goes on a rampage like MC

Dr. Kuseno faked his death to try and push Genos over the edge of sanity. We already see the cracks in Genos and Saitama’s relationship forming ocer the past few webcomic chapters. There’s no denying that Saitama just isn’t the right guy to help Genos deal with loss and just—his emotions right now. Plus, we see earlier in a panel where Genos was getting super mad after hearing about MC from DK and was about to lose control (as stated by him, too) before he saw Saitama’s face in the clouds and calmed down. So, we can conclude that Saitama is the only person (especially now that Dr. Kuseno is gone) keeping Genos sane. The gap between Genos and Saitama is growing, physically and psychologically—Genos was even disrespectful to him and sent him away. Saitama is not equipped to guide Genos through this mess of emotions and hatred that runs deep. They are not good at understanding each other or communicating on the same wavelength. It doesn’t help that Saitama has that dead fish expression nearly all the time even when Kuseno died and that he was the strongest guy but still couldn’t save him.

These guys seriously need to learn to talk things out.

The seeds were even planted all the way back when Neo Heroes were introduced and Genos thought Saitama didn’t notice him when they sparred for the second time. So I think Saitama might not be there to keep Genos in check when he faces off with the MC and as a result Genos falls into the same fate and goes mad as well. Or, Saitama could arrive just on time and save him—speak his magic, just like Amai Mask and Garou, and remind Genos of himself again.

God offers Genos his hand

It is heavily speculated and implied that God only visits those who are in the pits of despair and desperation to grant them the way out—ultimate power. Genos, even after his latest upgrade, might still be too weak for the MC and as a result God reaches out his hand to Genos. And Genos takes it. This ties in nicely with what Genos already thinks about himself (see this awesome review on manga ch. 186, Genos and Saitama’s second sparring match.)—he cannot see how powerful he’s become, only that he’s still weaker than Saitama. So even though he can easily defeat dragon-level monsters, he still can’t beat the MC, and hates himself for it (poor guy…)

Anyway, the next stage then happens—he could fight Saitama, because ultimately, all of God’s victims gained ultimate power but lost themselves. If this happens, I think Saitama would eventually save him, just like he did with Garou, but hopefully with a little more nuance. There’s no way he would kill/maim/capture his best friend unless Genos absolutely HAS to be stopped (might be talking about a bigger threat than Garou here. He’d be more uncontrollable than Garou too—Garou at least was still clinging onto a thread of his humanity because deep down inside he wanted to be a hero, but Genos… his goal isn’t to be a hero, but to take vengeance. To destroy.)

Genos IS the Mad Cyborg.

I know this theory used to circulate around a lot, but I thought i should include it here anyway because I think it’s pretty interesting. Basically, Genos was the MC all along—meaning he was the one who slaughtered his family and burned his town to the ground. I see this as two ways:

He actually did have memory of killing his family and literally everything we’e been told is fake. He used to work for The Organisation or the evil side and killed his family willingly (i would believe it was brainwashing and they wanted him to kill them for a ‘good cause’) but then had his memory wiped afterward so he now believes what he told Saitama (i really don’t believe Genos is evil though.)

Genos’s memory was not intact even when he killed his family. Dr. Kuseno/DK/Bofoi implanted fake memories in him.

So, after he realises that everything he had been striving for, dedicating himself body, mind, and soul and even sacrificing his humanity for, was a complete lie… he hates himself more than he ever had and decides to self-destruct (and just when i thought he got rid of his suicidal tendency!) lest he go on a rampage again. hopefully he doesn’t because Saitama is here to save the day… only that Saitama was sent off by him… No. I refuse to believe Saitama wouldn’t arrive on time to save him.

Genos and Saitama fight each other/face-off against each other

There are multiple ways that could’ve lead up to this point:

Genos goes mad/on a rampage and fights Saitama (I doubt Saitama would fight back, though.)

Genos takes God’s hand, gaining ultimate power but losing himself (as all of God’s victims do) and fights Saitama

Drive Knight is actually the mastermind and killed off/made Bofoi his pawn long ago.

(DK was created by Bofoi but turned against him. Is DK the MC? Was he not actually mad? Was he created to be like the MC but went against Bofoi’s wishes?)

Bofoi could have nothing to do with the Mad Cyborg or The Organisation. So far, only DK told Genos that Bofoi was his enemy and that Bofoi created him (?) and that it’s in Bofoi’s stronghold. And ultimately, we don’t really know if DK is trustworthy.

We know Bofoi’s goal is to gain control over everyone using his robots. We wouldn’t put it past him to do a test run on the MC by sending it to destroy a town—destroying EVERYONE in a town isn’t a rampage… it’s murder. Controlled murder.

It seems to me that DK is planting all the seeds here… sus.

The Mad Cyborg took God’s hand

And lost himself. That’s what would happen to Genos too.

Genos had said that even saitama may have trouble defeating MC (which is probably not true. saitama is saitama) but because of this declaration we can’t completely dismiss the fact that MC is super powerful even if Saitama could still defeat it in one punch.

Well, thanks for reading this unorganised ramblings if you made it this far! i hope Saitama comes to some epiphany during the climax and saves Genos….
