Relationships |
Hero Association[]
Saitama[]
Fubuki visits Saitama in order to recruit him
Fubuki strikes up an odd relationship with Saitama after her introduction, occasionally showing up at his house with his other acquaintances. She was attempting to get him into joining the Blizzard Group at her first meeting with him because she worried about her rank. Intrigued by how S-Class heroes have befriended him, she clearly wants to change herself and be a better person. She is, however, still persistent in her efforts to recruit Saitama, as she is aware of how strong he actually is, resorting to persuasion or trickery to have him join her crew. She also goes to the point of bargaining information in exchange for Saitama giving her the majority of the credit. She sometimes exposes her softer side to Saitama. For example, she had enough decency to bring the cabbage he left at the restaurant, even though he ditched her with the bill.[1] She even tried to hold a meeting for the assault on the Monster Association at his apartment, despite their earlier mishap.[2]
On her way to visit the imprisoned Psykos, Fubuki trusts Saitama enough to request him to accompany her, taking into account the possible threat of Tatsumaki, and expresses admiration for Saitama as one of those who have reached the top. She seems upset upon learning that Saitama only considers her as an acquaintance, rather than a friend.[3]

Believing him to have defeated Garou and witnessing him fighting toe-to-toe with Tatsumaki, Fubuki is finally motivated to promote to A-Class as she has faith in Saitama's strength. At the same time, she vows to make him join her group at any cost after realizing that he is far superior to her older sister.
Tatsumaki[]
Fubuki's older sister and fellow esper. Fubuki highly respects Tatsumaki and desires to be acknowledged by her. Fubuki wants freedom from Tatsumaki deciding everything for her. Fubuki has an inferiority complex because of Tatsumaki always making Fubuki's efforts seem useless with her overwhelming psychic power. Tatsumaki highly criticizes Fubuki for having followers and losing to Demonic Fan and Do-S. Regardless, Tatsumaki still comes to her sister's aid if Fubuki so much as gets injured from monsters. However, while Tatsumaki is too proud to admit it she genuinely loves her sister and Fubuki is too afraid to know her sister on a deeper level. However, they are still close enough to engage in daily activities, such as go shopping together.
During the battle against the Monster Association, Fubuki showcased her love to Tatsumaki, worrying about and wishing to help her. After meeting her sister again, despite Tatsumaki dismissing her, Fubuki still declared that she would do whatever it took to help her in a way Tatsumaki couldn't do by herself. Feeling she understood her sister just a bit better now and believing that Fubuki has grown, Tatsumaki was satisfied.

Their relationship has strained over years of over-protection due to Tatsumaki's overbearing personality. This coupled with Tatsumaki's immense strength has instilled fear into Fubuki, leading her to describe her sister as a "monster within monsters".
Sweet Mask[]
Fubuki holds a certain level of respect and fear towards Sweet Mask's strength. Fubuki believes that she will never reach S-Class because of him. She describes him as a "monster", similar to her sister, Tatsumaki.
Genos[]
Like her sister Tatsumaki, Genos's relationship with Fubuki is rather strained, although arguably not as bad as Tatsumaki. The two don't often communicate with each other, but they don't appear to have a friendly relationship. This is seen when Genos rejects and slightly berates Fubuki's attempts to have him join her Blizzard Group.[4] This tension is displayed when Genos jokingly threatens to incinerate Fubuki during a hot-pot dinner as a result of her attempts to lure Bang, Bomb and Dr. Kuseno to join her group.[5]
During the battle with the Monster Association, Fubuki along with the other heroes found Genos on the verge of exploding. Despite the cyborg told her to leave, Fubuki would step up and use her powers to save his life, regardless of the toll on her body for doing so. Due to the fact that Fubuki suffered to save Genos from certain death, Genos now apparently holds a high degree of gratitude towards her.[6]
Blast[]
While Fubuki has never interacted with Blast, she is aware of his power and considers him to be the strongest hero. She also seems to well aware of Blast's history with Tatsumaki, and while she is grateful for Blast saving her sister, Fubuki also feels upset at him. This is mainly due to the fact that after Tatsumaki was saved by Blast, his words left a 'curse' on her heart.
King[]
Like her sister Tatsumaki, Fubuki sees King as one of the strongest heroes alive, and holds a great respect towards him. Despite this, Fubuki never personally knew King as she was shocked when she saw him hanging out with Saitama, a much lower-rank hero. She can be seen with King whenever Saitama Group got together. Fubuki would even attempt to recruit King along with the other members of the Saitama Group to join hers during a video game contest, and was both shocked and awed when King somehow defeated her entire group in the video game contest.[4]
During the Monster Association raid, Fubuki declares King a member of the Blizzard Group and joins him alongside the other heroes against the monsters.[7]
Blizzard Group[]
Blizzard Group[]
Fubuki is the leader of the Blizzard Group and commands respect from her subordinates. Fubuki greatly appreciates her fellow members and is not willing to harm them when they were being mind controlled by Do-S. While Fubuki does care about the Blizzard Group, she uses it as a crutch for her ego. Even if it's not official, Fubuki considers the Saitama Group as part of the Blizzard Group and treats it as a separate branch much to the annoyance of Saitama and co.
Lily[]
Lily is her personal assistant and part of the Blizzard Group.[8] Lily expresses admiration towards Fubuki and states her as the reason of becoming a hero. Likewise, Fubuki entrusts Lily with the running of the Blizzard Group.
Other[]
Psykos[]
Fubuki and Psykos were once colleagues and good friends. Psykos was the vice president of the Blizzard Group during high school. When she was 17 years old, Fubuki sealed away Psykos' psychic power due to Psykos' proposal of wiping out humanity to the Supernatural Society. Unfortunately, Psykos went insane upon seeing a certain terrible possible future, and Fubuki regretted herself for being unable to save her dear friend from walking to the path of villainy.
