The civilians in the OPM world would say no, but they may be judging their heroes on the wrong qualities. Even though Saitama is easily the most effective at defeating the bad guys, he doesn’t act like a hero; he speaks simply, fights with little enthusiasm, and admits that he is only doing it all for the fun of it. This seems to draw an interesting parallel with our own interpretations of real-life heroes. Are we worshiping celebrity over actual skill? Do we place too much emphasis on showmanship rather than accomplishment?
