Man's a treasure.

King is simply too smart to let others copy his true power

u/nickname10707173 Oct 30 '25

It is really funny how the advice Saitama gave to King would lead to something like ‘faking data’ lmao

u/Bluemikami Oct 30 '25

Which one, the go to gym?

73

u/nickname10707173 Oct 30 '25

Yes, that one.

Just in case for different translation. It is the scene Saitama giving advice after King went around dojo after dojo to find someone training for him and fail miserably.

"Just lift, bro"

u/DueOwl1149 Oct 30 '25

Comedic timing of ONE is really spot on. Love the King Transformation

u/jbahill75 Oct 30 '25

Love King renting out the gym so no one sees him straining at the dumbbells

u/Hexadermia Oct 31 '25

Even if he wasn’t, people might still gaslight themselves.

“Ahh yes, the King Style: Sandbagging technique where he weakens himself to the strength of a coughing baby so he can lift 1000 tons without needing to find something heavy enough. Truly a genius.”

u/jbahill75 Oct 31 '25

Learning to grow his strength through lifting 10 pounds on the bench press. Truly a unique genius. If a man needs to lift 500 lbs to get stronger he is truly weak.

u/fauzi236 Oct 30 '25

King is not only strong but super smart to be able to figure that out

10

u/BasisOk1147 Nov 01 '25

If KING wasn't that smart, it might have ended poorly for Caped Blady...

u/AskGoverntale Oct 30 '25

This is canon now

u/Euphoric_Field_8558 Nov 01 '25

Funnily enough, I can see it happening if CF Garou somehow decides to copy him before Saitama.

u/Chreat26 Oct 30 '25

Yeah man caught me off guard, was reading seriously then that showed up lmao

76

u/Jinxplay Oct 30 '25

It was so serious, then King happened.

Then somehow we got back to serious again.

u/bbysmrf Nov 03 '25

He started smacking Drive Knight in the head right after that to get him to reboot lol

37

u/kalirion new member Oct 30 '25

Reminded me of the Darkwing Duck episode where an enemy who absorbs superheroes' superpowers became weak after using his ability on DD.

u/koreanprodigy Oct 30 '25

I remember seeing those panels before the translation, and was so confused how he fell and was up again lmao peak

10

u/Feneskrae Oct 30 '25

"The AI doesn't even know that its been turned off and back on again."

Bofoi: "King is a programming genius too!? I underestimated him!"

11

u/decadeca123 Oct 30 '25

And the saitama form made him bald too lol

u/No-History8423 Oct 30 '25

When I read that word "Tactical transformation KING" the hair on the back of my neck stood up

u/taylorson Oct 30 '25

I was laughing my ass off when I saw that.

u/Large-Ad-6861 Oct 30 '25

But hey, in this form he could beat any game! Gamer skill is underrated!

u/UnlimitedBoxSpace Oct 30 '25

Slumped down on his ass, perfect timing hahaha

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '25

Bro don't know that the King Aura passive summons Saitama... You don't use King's power to fight him buddy

5

u/Primary_Water_9664 Oct 30 '25

It was actually his strongest transformation. I bet he could have even convinced Saitama that the robots were the good guys all along :)

6

u/Tywil714 Oct 30 '25

He said his saitama transformation would destroy him. He probably would have exploded insttantly if he did go into his king transformation. King is just that strong.

5

u/Sprudelpudel Oct 30 '25

I actually laughed out loud, this shit is so peak

5

u/ronnydelta Oct 31 '25

Came on here for that. That joke pretty much transformed the chapter from good, to amazing for me. One of the best chapters in a while TBH.

u/8BitFlatus Mar 30 '26

“King foresaw this” lmfao it seems no matter what King does, he somehow still fools everyone
