To celebrate One-Punch Man on the NY Times Manga Bestsellers chart for 12 months, we wrote horoscopes for 12 characters!
It’s official, One-Punch Man volume one has been on the New York Times Manga Bestsellers list for one entire year! That’s 12 months! And since each month represents an astrological sign, we’re going to have some fun and write horoscopes for 12 characters based on which zodiac signs they match physically or in spirit. It’s a One-Punch Man horoscope!
Aquarius
Kombu Infinity
Aquarius is usually represented by someone pouring water or wavy lines. Kombu is a monster made of seaweed, and his tentacles, which can become as hard as steel, look much like a bunch of wavy lines. So he’s perfect to represent this sign. Well, not perfect, a bit of a stretch, but this entire article is a bit of a stretch! Although they are usually known as an upbeat sign, they can be temperamental and easy to upset! And when Class A heroes Golden Ball and Spring Mustachio confront this monster, they find that out the hard way!
Horoscope: There are rumors of incredibly powerful monsters in City Z. If you’re seeking fame or adventure, you should go there and investigate. However, beware of hairless men with plastic shopping bags. They could be your undoing.
Pisces
Deep Sea king
Who better to represent the fish astrological sign than the Deep Sea King! Although in real life, well real astrology life, Pisces are one of the nicest and compassionate signs. But! They have a dark side too—they can be emotional, unpredictable and restless! Deep Sea King certainly seems restless as he wasn’t content ruling the seas, he and his fish monster brethren, the Clan of the Sea Folk, launched an all-out attack on the land folk in an attempt to take over!
Horoscope: Venturing into new places brings a sense of adventure and might be just what you need to put a spark in your daily routine. But beware, although you are stronger, there is always someone stronger than you. Also, watch out for bald guys.
Aries
Speed o’ Sound Sonic
Aries are represented by the ram because they are very determined! Like a ram, they charge into situations with full confidence and enthusiasm. Although Speed o’ Sound Sonic does not resemble a ram, he certainly has the belief in his ability to defeat any opponent like one. Having confidence is great, but it can also work against you. Especially when you’re in way over your head.
Horoscope: You will encounter many bald men in the near future. But be weary, not all bald men are alike. Some are stronger than others. Much, much stronger. Also, be protective of things that are valuable. Like jewels, especially ones that belong to the family.
Taurus
Bull-Bull
Taurus’ are powerful and dependable. They are also rather stubborn. They do not give up easily and are committed to the tasks they undertake. Bull-Bull, the leader of the Cow Stomach band of robbers, are known for charging into banks and making off with all the green! Do not mess with a Taurus unless you want to take a chance on getting run down!
Horoscope: The grass is always greener in another bank. And although you’re strong and like to charge into situations with full steam, not everyone can be run down so easily. Be especially cautious when charging unassuming people with limited amounts of hair.
Gemini
Brothers Fukegao and Marugori
Gemini is usually represented as twins. That’s because of all the signs, they are the most split in terms of personality. One minute they may be fun and sociable, the next serious and or sarcastic. You just never know! That’s why the brothers Fukegao and Marugori represent the Gemini sign so well. One is a genius, but has no interest in strength or being strong. The other is not so smart, but has brawn. But when the smart one Fukegao gives Marugori the ultimate steroid, Biceps King, a monster of terrifying strength is born!
Horoscope: If you can get both of your dual sides to work together you can accomplish incredible things. And while it’s great to have your wishes come true, sometimes that can be a burden too. Also, before leaving the house today, practice learning your right from left. It may be important in your future.
Cancer
Crablante
Here’s a guy who matches his sign both in physical form and personality traits. Well, at least the negative Cancer traits. Cancers are moody, suspicious, resentful. And when a boy draws nipples with a marker on Crablante, he definitely resents it! And because he has giant claws for hands, he can’t even use a towel to wipe it off.
Horoscope: It’s a nice day to go exploring, maybe a walk in the park. But stay alert and aware of your surroundings, danger can come from the most surprising places. Also, avoid children with comically exaggerated cleft chins.
Leo
Beast King
Another perfect match! Leos love being the center of attention and the leader of the group. They’re not happy unless everyone recognizes they’re the boss. That’s why when Saitama refuses to take Beast King serious, he roars with fury and tries to show him who is king of the jungle!
Horoscope: Don’t let your big ego get the best of you. And don’t give in to emotional outbursts. Especially if someone asks you to apologize. Sometimes it’s better to meow like a kitten, than roar like a lion. And watch out for shiny round objects sticking out of the ground today.
Virgo
Hellish Blizzard
The Virgo sign is often represented as a beautiful woman and that’s perfect for Hellish Blizzard. Her personality also matches up in many ways. Virgos are very independent, intelligent and analytical. This is perfect for Hellish Blizzard because she’s used her intelligence and powers to form and lead a powerful hero faction. Virgos are also known to be overly critical, both of themselves and other people. Her bad relationship and feeling of inferiority to her sister, Terrible Tornado, are an example of this.
Horoscope: You can’t always get what you want. While it’s fine to go after what you desire, just keep in mind, sometimes you’re not going to get your way. Avoid getting pushy with bald men, it may backfire on you and cost you some henchmen.
Libra
Mumen Rider
Libra’s are known for many traits—but above all justice! They want things to be fair and get irritated to no end if they feel the scales are tipped one way or the other. I know, I’m a Libra! We’re also gracious, diplomatic, caring, funny, handsome and basically the coolest sign. That’s why Mumen Rider is perfect to represent a Libra. He’s all about justice! He fights for the common man! And he’s one of the coolest heroes!
Horoscope: If it’s wet outside and there are reports of monsters from sea wrecking the city, you may want to consider staying inside. However, since you’re motivated by justice, you probably can’t. But if you meet a giant fish guy with hearts for nipples, duck!
Scorpio
Mosquito Girl
If there’s one sign everyone knows about, it’s a Scorpio! They’re famous for their ill tempers, jealousy, distrust and violence. And most of all, they’re famous for getting revenge! Never mess with a Scorpio! Even their name sounds scary! While Mosquito Girl is actually a sexy human mosquito, do not be fooled by her beauty! She’ll suck you dry, literally! Not only can her claws slice and dice the strongest of foes, her army of mosquitos will attack anything she commands and suck the blood right out! Like the saying goes, don’t mess with Scorpios!
Horoscope: The temptation to lash out at those who stand in your way is very powerful indeed! And although you’ve got numerous allies to come to your aid, not every fight is winnable. Also, be especially wary of naked bald men.
Sagittarius
Genos
Sagittarius are one of the luckiest signs. They are born with great curiosity and are known to travel the world seeking adventure and the chance to learn. Genos is perfect for this sign because he’s dedicated his life to learning from the strongest hero of all—Saitama! Although at first, Saitama saw him as a bit of a nuisance, over time their relationship has changed and they’ve grown closer together. But Genos still has a long way to go to catch his “teacher.”
Horoscope: Sometimes your search for truth will lead you to dangerous places, but never fear, you have luck on your side. Your ability to see what others do not will benefit you greatly. Stay open to learning and you’ll never stop growing. And never buy anything full price! Always wait for bargain sales!
Capricorn
Carnage Kabuto
Capricorn’s are very ambitious! They are self-sufficient to the point that they may seem cold to those around them. That also possess a tremendous amount of inner strength. But these traits can also turn against them as they will not stop at anything to achieve their goals, even if it means their own destruction. They can also have big egos and feel superior to others. That’s Carnage Kabuto, one of the House of Evolution’s most powerful creations, in a nutshell!
Horoscope: You may not be as strong as you think. Don’t let your belief in yourself turn into cockiness, it could be your undoing. And don’t turn cyborgs into modern art. That could have a very dangerous outcome for you.
And that concludes our One-Punch Man horoscope! Hope you’ve enjoyed it! And remember You can follow Saitama and Genos’ hilarious adventures in the graphic novels or by subscribing to Weekly Shonen Jump ! Here’s to another year of chart-topping manga!
