    King is based on chess. In chess, the king can summon other pieces to instantly defend him, hence why Saitama and company happen to always be around to defend him. King is probably unaware of his ability to do this and victims of his ability are oblivious to being effected by it. A small scale reality warping ability that triggers when he experiences extreme fear and makes it impossible for him to truly be harmed by what is scaring him. He pretty much has the power to unknowingly trigger miracles.

    The artist who draws the One Punch Man Manga has a talent for showing us, the readers, King as others see him. To the other heros or the general public, King is shown as a a brooding figure of limitless power, restrained but intimidating. Even Tatsomaki deems him worthy of a approving smile. To monsters and criminals he is seen as a towering menace of inescapable Doom. To Saitama, he's a tall, skinny dude he knows who's frustratingly good at video games.

    What i love about King is that he is a great supporting character. He is a friend to Saitama and he actually grows, he is still full of fear but is trying to the right thing and help the other Heroes to the best of his ability.
    Even with the power that he possess he is the "normal dude", he doesn't have super strength, can fly or is a pysiker like Tornado. He is the opposite of Saitama, a Hero out of obligation wanting to be a shut-in instead of a shut-in wanting to be a Hero for Fun.

(I think it was shown to be Saitama), but that's not the only instance of that happening. He mentions always being attacked by monsters but always having someone else swoop in at the last second and he somehow gets the credit.

    He’s Siatama’s foil. One is strong, with no presence, the other is weak, with an overwhelming presence.
    On top of that his name implies that he is the “King”, like in chess, all pieces attempt to kill him, but all the surrounding pieces try to defend him. He is the only person in the universe that always has someone or something intervening for his benefit. This anomaly alone is his power. It’s just not blatant like the others.

    King is that low level paladin you guys let roll with you at end game. Even though he's not much of a fighter or a healer, his auras buff and inspire allies and weaken and demoralize enemies. He's just racking up kills based on assists and accidental killing blows. Support is still support and without him, stuff would still be more difficult💖💗 I love King and his empathy is a great counter for Saitama's apathy. King and Mumen Rider inspire and bring joy to our Caped Baldy's life. I teared up when Mumen Rider got saved and he wrote him a fan letter and bought him ramen, and when King recognized him and apologized, kneeled before him, and begged for forgiveness.

      there is something called fight or flight. but there is another reaction which is freezing.

      Agree. I don’t see a pendulum of good and bad luck. The getting the scars on his eye sucked, but having the scars solidified his legend.

That fuels his legend. If instead all of that went to saitama, it would fuel his boredom and annoyance.

      He would be beast if they told him it was a video game but he could only be a hero in game and the mech suit can't harm anything not evil it would be a cool idea or if he starts controlling metal knight suits or sum but his luck power alone is pretty op

    Would love to see a full budget blown out animated fight with these two with King winning only for it to show they were just doing pvp in a game.

    Honestly, if King had a game-pad remote based robot, his gaming skills alone would place him in Class S

    King’s real power is to instill fear into others from his own anxiety. He is a true hero for sure

    I'd love to see King in one of the new battle suits like Mumen Rider in the new ark... Just so he can have his well earned 15 minutes of fame, after all that crap he's been through I can see him being able to use the suits better than anyone else because of his gaming background. 😁

    Credit to the animators at 13:50. They know what they were doing. The angle, the composition, the lighting. It all blends together to create a beautiful canvas on which to tell their story.

    In many regards King reminds me of the chess figure.
    By himself he is quite weak, but the other pieces are his strength.

    I love this guy. He’s made only a hero because he’s in the right place after Saitama ends a battle and he gets the credit, plus is stare no matter how he really feels along with this reputation scares most villains. Luck might be his power.

    I would have loved if King had been in that king arc starting situation like: "Ow You only want data" and wouldnt have fought at all because the monster only wanted data. Maybe had the secret from Saitama a bit longer. Much potential for drama and such for longer.

    The "sensing of power" was explained as well, when the boy took his and saitamas reading, he said "king too strong for the scale to show" and "saitama too weak for the scale to show". he is "so strong that they cant even sense it".

    I came up with a theory a little while back King and saitama are one in the same I don't know if it's because of said Thomas limiter being removed or what but I do believe that King and saitama are two sides of the same coin and I think you touched on that a little bit in this video

    Everyone saying Kings ability is luck, while they very clearly show, that it’s „character control“. He is like the writer. Reality becomes a video game, where he unleashes a 99 power combo at will with the sweetest character after being kicked in the corner. He is just as powerful outside the game, as inside, he just doesn’t know. His heart is just smashing the buttons of reality, instead of his fingers.

    From what ive seen. King does have a power. It is his flawless execution of a pacifist run for his anime. Sure he may not have any real fighting ability. But as long as his stats say 0 kills/knockouts he's on track.

  • @toddbozeman3587
    @toddbozeman3587 Рік тому +2

    It would kinda cool to for King to be found out how big of fraud he is, but Saitama would defend him saying he did what normal person does to help others, thus it turns out King to inspire everyone to be a hero. Thus being a growth point for Saitama and King. But it would still force King to be that 'Hero' to keep others fighting.

  • @wolfzend5964

    I feel King's true skills are essentially deception, tactics, luck and morale/hope boosts for everyone around him.
    This coincides with the King Piece/ player since Chess involves tactics on the board, deceiving your opponents to work around them and deal fatal blows and some luck, plus the game isn't over until your King piece is taken.

  • @Bannith

    Honestly seems like he's pretty strong. Mental manipulation that works on literally anyone to an extreme level. Guaranteed events happening to make sure things go in his favor and excellent planning/analytical skills. Tbh I would like to see him get some High B/Low A class combat abilities like maybe energy blasts or something so he can at least try to do something.
    Just imagine him being legit cocky for once so he fires off a yu yu hakusho finger laser and it just bounces off a major enemy. Then the massive sinking feeling he gets as he tries to play it off as a joke on how weak the enemy is. While that still allowing him some minor level of confidence because he can actually do something.

    luck, king has the ultimate power of luck, hes always there where he needed to be (where someone can save his life and win no matter what the situation is) and hes always win in what hes good at which is games. he is one of those heroes who is almost impossible to kill since the universe will find a way for him to survive. if king ever fights for his life, something will happen that will tilt the odds towards him.
