10 Strange Facts About Tatsumaki

Tatsumaki's skills and personality are well known, but there are some obscure facts about the Tornado of Terror that might surprise One-Punch Man fans.

Saitama is known for his incredible strength, but he's not the only character in the series to possess a mind-blowing set of abilities.

We've witnessed Tatsumaki 's skills and headstrong personality, but there are a few obscure facts about him that some OPM fans may not know. Let's dive into 10 facts you probably never knew about Tatsumaki.🤩

10- She could have defeated the golden sperm

Anime fans may not be entirely familiar with Golden Sperm or its original form, Black Sperm. His appearance on screen was not informative enough to understand his strength. On the other hand, fans who have read the manga/webcomic One-Punch Man know that he "defeated" Tatsumaki in a confrontation. ⚔

The thing is, Tatsumaki had previously been weakened by Psykos , so the fight mentioned above shouldn't serve as a testament to Sperm's strength. ONE, the creator of Opm, confirmed this in an interview where he briefly stated that, in his best state, Tatsumaki would have actually beaten this enemy with no problem.

9- She is probably more powerful than Mob

Shigeo Kageyama, aka Mob from Mob Psycho 100 , is a seemingly normal middle school student with an unpredictable array of supernatural skills. He possesses telekinetic talents , spiritual awareness, and the ability to astral projection.

Mob may seem like the perfect counterbalance to Tatsumaki's esper powers , but ONE (who created both series) admitted that Tornado of Terror would inevitably win. He did, however, mention that if Kageyama got "serious" and unblocked the stadium??? %, the result could potentially be different. 🦸🏻‍♂️

8- Tatsumaki sincerely respects King

Tatsumaki is generally not liked by the people she chats with, possibly due to her cheeky and immature personality. Along the same lines, she hates having to collaborate with people and has a strained relationship with many other heroes, including her sister Fubuki.🙅🏻‍♀️

Therefore, it is quite appalling that Tatsumaki actually respects King. Especially when you know that King became an S-class hero through pure luck and doesn't actually have any special skills. It is rather him, the “Hero” that Tornado should despise the most.

7- She wears underwear

Are normal people supposed to wonder if anime/manga characters wear underwear? Apparently the Madhouse animation team thinks it's a valid question. But bringing a character to life, as the studio does, requires understanding the elaborate design details... including underwear. 🩲

Yusuke Murata, the illustrator of the One-Punch Man manga , mentioned that Madhouse inquired about Tatsumaki's clothing situation a few years ago. In case you missed it, the answer is yes. Tatsumaki is wearing underwear. Surely useful information for understanding the Opm series...

6- Tatsumaki is less powerful than Psychopoule

As it stands, Tatsumaki is considered the strongest esper in the One-Punch Man universe . Its psychokinetic performance is supposed to be higher than that of Psychopoule. Nonetheless, Boros' trusty alien sidekick was technically more proficient than the S-Class Hero, a fact that Yusuke Murata himself confirmed.

Psychopoule 🐙 could literally eliminate friction between physical objects and air, something not even Tatsumaki is capable of. In comparison, Storm can throw massive objects, but the speed at which she can do so is limited.

5- Tornado likes candy apples

This fact was confirmed by Fubuki in a One-Punch Man audiobook. She mentions that her sister is obsessed with candy apples🍭 and she goes to festivals just to buy them. This is a fun detail in itself, but it leads to a chance encounter that we'll expand on later in this list.

Tatsumaki is so bitter and insulting that we can't believe she enjoys something sweet like candy. The concept is as ironic as the fact that she respects King for being a "real hero." 🦸‍♂️

4- Tatsumaki is French

Illustrator Yusuke Murata once discussed the ethnicities of various One-Punch Man characters and stated that the Psychic Sisters would be French in real life, which could explain Tatsumaki's character. This means that Tatsumaki and Fubuki would presumably be very familiar with, say, the Eiffel Tower... or croissants. 🥐

In case you're curious about the other characters chosen in this conversation, Genos looks German . Suiryu would be Italian, Bogosse Masqué is Korean and Choze could be Russian.

3- One of his attacks was misinterpreted

The Madhouse animation team misunderstood ONE's intentions for a specific attack during Tatsumaki's fight against the King of Ancient Times . ONE simply wanted a giant rock to hit the creature, which would subsequently trigger a flashback to the meteor that destroyed his race.

What happened instead was that Tatsumaki pulled an actual meteor out of space and killed the King of Ancient Times with it. Murata noted that if the esper could have accomplished this, she could have easily brought down Boros' ship. 👽

2- Tatsumaki has the power of a remote control

Thanks to an additional chapter in One-Punch Man Volume 10, titled "Tatsumaki's Day Off", we can confirm that Storm is also a remote control. Seriously, she can control TV channels using her psychic abilities. 📺

Tatsumaki, also known as " Tornado of Terror " or Terrible Tornado, is an esper who has mastered his supernatural powers and gives Saitama a fighting chance. It's a handy skill that most people wouldn't even consider, especially with so many monsters running loose.

1- She actually met Saitama for the first time at a festival

We already mentioned that Tatsumaki only goes to festivals to buy candy apples. We also noted that there was a chance encounter following his participation in these events. The person she met was Saitama and it happened in a haunted house.👻

Saitama thought Storm was a lost child and she thought he was a ghost because his psychic powers didn't work on him. Tatsumaki was completely frightened by the idea of ​​Saitama being immune to her abilities.
