If you were one of the characters in this scene, how would you react to seeing Saitama for the first time?
The final boss should be just beyond that door. Anybody need a bardic inspiration?
I will cast arcane eye so we can glimpse what we’re facing.
Oh, I hope he’s a big one.
That’s weird.
What wisdom does your arcane eye bestow upon you?
It’s just a guy.
What do you mean just a guy?
Just a guy.
Is he big?
Not really. He’s kind of scrawny, actually.
What sort of weapons is he wielding?
Is he wreathed in demonic magic?
No. No weapons. No weird, glowy bits. I guess he could be a monk. He’s bald.
Bald?
Yeah. And I think he’s wearing a cape.
Hey. Um, what color is the cape?
I don’t know why that matters, but it’s white. And, uh, he’s got red gloves, too. Ooh.
Nope. Nope. We are leaving right now.
Why? [Music]
