that's why Blast is overrated, like wtf , he's supposed to be on the same level as Saitama , this is total BS. It would ruin the series for the protagonist of the story to satisfy his desires and reach his goals? From the start what Saitama wants most is someone who could be on par with him and give him the thrill of a real battle once again. Literally every time a character is hyped up only to be easily disposed of by Saitama, while it might be funny(it stopped being funny to me after the second time), it's also massively frustrating for both Saitama and any reader who symphatizes with him, which should be most of us since he's the protagonist. Blast is the number 1 candidate in the story who we know to have the potential to help Saitama reach that goal, being the only S-Class hero to be shrouded in enough mystery to stand out from the rest.

Plus, we don't need King 2.0. King himself was already entertraining for all he was, ONE doesn't need to do King twice with Blast, much less the good old "This guy is supposed to be a big deal but Saitama still squashes him like nothing" since there's already plenty of that in the series. Speaking of who: Blast was said to have power only mirrored in King's achievements. King, who only had his reputation because he happened to "accidentally" take credit for some of Saitama's kills early in the series, so if the hearsay we're getting from the characters is to be trusted, then Blast can do at least a good portion of what Saitama was shown to be capable of.
