Mumen rider series#

There is more that factors into a punch, than just the force, and how much physical resistance Mumen Rider had, for instance, there is the velocity. He looks weak, yes, and he is, but his body is strong, and he DID make it to be a hero. This would state that Mumen Rider is good in protection, but not physical strength. Mumen Rider had that 'armor' on, which could have absorbed some, or most, of the punch, but nonetheless, he was knocked unconscious. The respect that Saitama has for Mumen Rider stems from his sense of justice and being a ‘true hero’.He resisted the punch because he trained and trained, and he was injured, but there is more than just physical resistance we are talking about here. Saitama saw this and acknowledges him as a true hero even if he is a class C hero with no special powers up his sleeve. He did everything he could to help civilians in need. Mumen Rider performed well against Deep Sea King. It’s easy to assume that Mumen Rider is just going to be a character that would have any significant contribution to the plot.īut it seems to me as a viewer that he is quite rational and extremely heroic. He has a lot of respect for the cycling hero. Saitama seems to have understood almost all of this. He fought only because the situation was extremely desperate, and failure meant that all civilians would die. He knows that the King of the Deep Sea is one of the most serious threats the entire city has faced so far, at least for a very long time.īut he thinks the fight against him is right. He seems to be at least dimly aware of his limitations. In a desperate and vain hope, he also understands that a hero strong enough to defeat the monster needs to appear.Ĭompletely ready to be destroyed if no other hero makes it on time. He struggles to delay and distract the King of the Deep Sea as much as possible.

When Mumen Rider attacks the Deep-Sea King, he does not expect victory.īut a hero who fights only when he can win is not really a hero.

Mumen rider series#

But, Saitama seems to be the only hero in the One Punch Man series who simply sees and understands his moral beliefs. I think through him we are shown that the general public loves this guy, despite his lack of power. Mumen Rider is one of the most heroic characters in One Punch Man so far. So everyone shouted for his victory and was ready to believe in him.

And that’s why people rejoice in front of him.

Mumen Rider acknowledges his weakness, that there might be no chance of victory. To protect those who are too afraid or weak to fight and to show people that there is still hope and to reassure them, even if it’s just a small chance that everything will be fine. He sanctifies everything for the benefit and well-being of others. He does his best to be a hero, not for fame or money. Mumen Rider is ready to face an enemy who could kill him so easily at any time. Not because he is powerful, not because he wins the battle, but simply because he puts everything into being a true hero.Įven when faced with the most unfortunate circumstances, he is not ready to give up.Įquipped only with a determination to protect the people and a brave heart. But from that moment and only from that moment everyone sees him as a real hero. Nothing but an ordinary cyclist, eager to help others. Mumen Rider also known as Satoru is one of the well-known characters from the One Punch Man series.Īt first, no one thought much about Mumen Rider, not even the audience.Īfter all, he is just an ordinary person without any enormous strength or any other kind of superpower compared to many other characters we see.
