Think there will character that comes on the scene that goes by the name of "Boom"? Knowing ONE, he made three characters by whose names are expressions of onomatopoeia. Things of generic.
Your thoughts?
I have been reading other sites discussing OPM, and there are many people claiming that, in the world of OPM, natural talent is much, much more important than in our own world.
Like, if in the real world a good martial artist's ability is 50 % natural talent and 50 % hard work, in the world of OPM it would be 99 % natural talent and 1 % hard work.
The typical examples are Bang and Garou. Bang is a superb martial artist, but an awful teacher: He just has no idea of what to do in order to help somebody become as strong as himself... his second best disciple, Sour Face, has been estimated to be on par with a low rank B class or high rank C class hero. His best disciple, Garou, was already leagues above Sour Face before he even started training with Bang (he was maybe A level), and he has the special ability to mimic any style just watching it once, so the merit of mastering Rock Smashing Water Fist probably was on him, and not on the training Bang made him go through.
If we take a look at Master Suicho of the Void Fist style, on the other hand, he succesfully taught both of his grandchildren Suiryu and Suiko, both of which are worthy of being S-level heroes (well, in Suiko's case, all we have is her word, but since she was telling it to her brother, who should know well how strong she is, I don't think she was lying...).
In Suiryu's case, he admits he trains very little and owes his strength mostly to raw talent...
What is it that Bang has in common with Bomb, and Suiryu with Suiko? Genetics. These people were just born strong, and martial arts just helped them develop and polish their natural strength.
Bang and Bomb could train say Mumen Rider for years, and Mumen Rider would give his all, and train until spitting blood, like the japanese say, and Mumen Rider wouldn't reach Suiryu's level...
Kamikaze has more success as a teacher than Bang does, but knowing him, he probably won't even look at a candidate who doesn't show exceptional talent. All of his three disciples probably showed great promise when he took them as pupils.
On the other hand look at Glasses. He isn't training under any great master of martial arts, and his style seem to be more or less boxing... but he is miles above Sour Face, being able to hold his own against Garou for a bit (yes, Garous was weakened, but Garou was able to crush TTM, a S-level hero...).
And if we look at Bad, it doesn't look like he went through any training, he just smashes things with a bat, and he attributes his power to his "fighting spirit", becoming stronger the more wounded he is...
Not to mention guys like TTM, PPP and Darkshine, who have gained superpowers just weighlifting... like, Darkshine grew from 5 to 8 feet tall, gained tank armour skin and became Black lifting weights, and PPP has gained fast regeneration doing whatever he does in prison (I shudder to think...).
In short, it seems to me that strong people in the world of OPM are just born strong, and that training only helps them bring out that strength, but the quality of that training isn't very relevant... like, if the day Garou started training under Bang he had left the dojo instead and had started hunting monsters, he would have eventually reached the same level, maybe even faster than he did under Bang's tutelage (don't get me wrong, Rock Smashing Water Stream Fist is powerful, but Garou could probably have learned it just watching Bang, the same way he learned Steel Cutting Whirlwind Fist just watching Bomb...).
I was thinking about this for a long time, but Bang has Charanko as his disciple, so who is Bomb’s disciples?
Did Bomb’s dojo get rampaged by Garou?????

This is part of the Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist
And one can realize this is the Style of the Three Legged Crows Monsters
Gouketsu Disciples,meaning we know that is also the Cadre Gouketsu Style
It has multiple moves from Parries to Punches to Kicks and more distingishable moves like the Sangen/Scattered Eyes like move.
Also a Circular Parry
I know you may notice we don't know much about it but i know there ahve to be articles with less and this is a very important Fighting Style in OPM.
This was the only successful one,i tried making Darkshine with WSRSF but it just made Pics of Weird Fists surrounded by water,same problems with WICF and Bomb.
