(Keep in mind I've only watched the anime + read the manga up until the end of the monster association arc. But I don't care for spoilers!)

How normalised and common is death? Are funerals as important?

Are single graves only for the rich? Are people who are killed in an attack just put in a mass grave?

Would City-Q be for the richer people due to it being safest?

If death/danger is common are some people always packed to evacuate if they live in dangerous areas?

Do some people not even bother evacuating and accept potential death?

What happens to people if their house/work place is destroyed? Are they automatically covered by the hero association/government or are they done for if they don't have insurance?

Are all hero registry exams the same?

Why was Saitama climbing the ranks seen as fishy? Silver Fang and Superalloy Darkshine are shown to climb the ranks but surely with their strength it would have been just as quick?

Would celebrities like Lady Gaga have to rebrand from 'Mother Monster' to something else lol?

How do heroes who just want to kill monsters or don't care for fame deal with fans? Do they ask the hero association to not send them the fan mail they receive?

Imagine Atomic Samurai receiving fanmail but only his disciples (probably Okamaitachi) would be the people to open it.

Do people have last names?

Do heroes get into trouble for all the destruction they cause (aside from Saitama)? Especially ones that cause more damage than the original monster for no real reason, or do the hero association cover it up for them?

Are family bonds as strong once children reach adulthood? Is it normal for people to move cities or do families stay close to each other incase of disasters?

How did no-one notice the city-sized spaceship entering Earth's atmosphere before it wiped out City-A?

Before the Hero Association how were people with powers treated? Were they seen as monsters?

November 1944: Eighteen young men stand together at Chōshi Airfield, Japan. They look surprisingly calm, even happy, for pilots preparing for their first and final operational flight. These are Kamikazes. Of the men frozen in this moment, only Toshio Yoshitake, standing on the far right, would survive the mission and the war. He was plucked from the sky by an American fighter before he could reach his target. Like the nation he served, he spent the rest of his life carrying the heavy, silent weight of this photograph. 1/2

By the end of WWII, Japan had launched around 3,000 of these "special attacks," a desperate gamble against the inevitable. The statistics are staggering: they sank up to 60 Allied ships and left nearly 10,000 sailors dead or wounded. Approximately 3,800 Kamikaze pilots vanished into the Pacific. Operationally, the mission was a tragedy of diminishing returns; only 19% ever struck a target. Most were intercepted by fighters or shredded by anti aircraft fire long before reaching the fleet. It was a tragic, high cost tactic that ultimately failed to change the outcome of the war. 2/2
