One-Punch Man: Hero Encyclopedia Speed Upgrades

[Maharaj]

The Boros profile was written by Genos. It's a part of a section called "Road to Saitama" that he wrote, talking about all of Saitama's enemies.

I would not say it´s written by in-universe genos

Doesn't Lightning Max say his "lightning kicks" uses gunpowder or something?

doesn´t matter

I edited the statement after looking into it further; Max uses machines to just produce electricity.

What in-universe context are you giving?

The fact that they produce lightning?

The Databook also states that Atomic Samurai's fastest technique is barely Mach 1 btw

The fact that they produce lightning?

Again, producing electricity just does the exact opposite in context. The HA bases their heroes' names and public bios on characteristics. Hence the purple prose about lightning in Genji's page (who also just produces electricity).

Producing electricity is not even lightning-speed.

"When angered, Atomic Samurai turns into a terrifying demigod"

Shall we add Divine Transformation to Atomic Samurai's profile?

 

[ByAsura]

I honestly don't see this going anywhere. It's objectively (and I do mean objectively) purple prose, metaphors, idioms, similes or statements that aren't even proof of true lightning-speed.

Even the counter-arguments don't really seem to be addressing much of it.

Should we just close this?
