#blast crew

Does Blast realise the true source of the divine power that nearly exploded the earth was Saitama? I feel like it's a bit too early to reveal that but who knows. Saitama does not know the source of his insane punches that can level earth, he just knows he could do it cognizantly. He punches something aggressively, it explodes and dies, that's all there is to. Blast would rightfully assume the energy is all Garou, but he can definitely tell something is off with Saitama. He's going to keep an eye on things at minimum.

But Blast and crew have both experience against Avatars of God and means to contain them when reasoning fails. Blast first tried to reason with Garou, then teleported him to different dimension for containment or dealing with him. Ergo, he was confident he could have contained Garou's divine powers on its own, but Garou is a far trickier opponent than that, as he has his own powers too. Martial arts.

Blast can apparently also contain the power of Serious Punch squared, at least momentarily. But Saitama is limitless, so he would be able to overpower any kinds of containments of his power if he puts enough effort.

So what I can gather is that Blast and crew have means to deal with beings of Garou's current level. And contain them efficiently. Maybe even kill or strip them of their powers if reasoning fails because they're the galaxy protection crew, it's their job to protect Earth and other intelligent beings from God's influence and destructive powers.

Blast can also take a beating from these people. Not just from Garou, but other possible avatars of god and beings of that level.

Who in the world is this gigachad who managed to make Space Dad Blast bleed from his leg and face?

After he teleported out 3 people from time distorted place? Now that we know that he can easily duel with Garou.

Either one of god's avatars or god itself. Honestly, the slashing pattern on his suit seems to indicate it's the same thing he fights, over and over again.

Ofc, it could just be the Beast King lookalike teammate of his and they're just sparring, but it would be a weird time to spar with teammates when he got concerned he allowed God to almost come into contact with Tatsu. Maybe time distortion from the cube has something to do with it, so when the teleported out, he got pulled back into real timeline during his sparring session or something and had to immediately leave to save Tatsu. Timey wimey stuff. But I'm going off tangent.

It still begs the question: how will they react to Saitama if they figure out he was a source of Divine power?

Would they become hostile? Would they attempt to contain him? What if they deem Saitama too dangerous because he showed to Blast he was volatile enough with the proper trigger to try and blow up the entire planet? All very possible choices.

So far, the story has painted Saitama as morally good. But accidentally destroying Earth is not a morally sound choice. So the narrative direction that Saitama could prove dangerous to mankind if he so wished is now out there. A fairly intentional and big shift if you ask me.

Instead of a hero to be revered for his virtues... the end result might be a being that has to be feared for his powers. Because he's still human being and imperfect, but humans fear what they do not understand.

Would Blast crew and Sai come to blows? Would they leave Saitama alone because he's still a person? Would Hero association try to use Saitama if they realised the full extent of his powers? I bet they would, they're not below trying to force the c-class to use drugs and body enhancements. Not that they could but they would try lol. Good luck on that. But being treated as a weapon for Hero association would suck.

So Saitama being relatively unknown to people serves another thing: he's left alone and out of machinations of more corrupted people and people who have the moral obligations to deal with beings who have godly powers.

Blast is not stupid nor unempathetic, so he will probably at the end, make the right choices when it concerns Saitama, the humane choices, but we'll probably only see that happen at the end of the series. Saitama is still a hero at his core too.

Saitama also has friends now who would sprung to his defence. Like certain cyborg who unflinchingly supports and defends Saitama even if he does not need a personal guard dog, Genos will do it anyway.

In a worst case scenario, Blast crew versus Saitama crew is an actual possibility.

But we could also throw more curveballs at Saitama and someone actually reveals his own divine powers to him. And casually points out that yea he almost destroyed the earth just fyi.
