InOne-Punch Man, the badass cyborg known asGenois the second protagonist to Saitama’s titular fist-wielding hero, with their battles as ranked crime fighters going down as some of the most wild and intense fights in the anime and manga space, period. In a new pair of viral cosplay clips,Geno gets a live-action lookthat perfectly adapts his mechanical body in a way that deserves an official big-screen treatment.
A series-accurate cosplay brought to life by@zh9bivia TikTok, this talented creator doesn’t have too many videos uploaded to their account just yet, but considering what has already been shared, @zh9bi has a bright future as part of the cosplay community.
Posting clips featuring three other homemade looks that could easily pass as official Hollywood designs, @zh9bi has stepped into the shoes of Raiden fromMetal Gear Solidfame, Jotaro Kuko fromJojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Kamen Rider from the Japanese television series of the same name, with each suit having functionality that goes beyond a simple cosplay costume.

Engineering cyborg components that open and close on command, this double arm design shows off @zh9bi’s skills as a creatorbut also adaptsGeno at his most badassin a way that does his character justice. Completing Geno’s look with a white top, blonde hair, and black jeans, @zh9bi’s fully functional (but nonlethal) Incineration Cannons are a sight to behold as they snap open and glow with a blinding amber hue. Letting off wisps of smoke from somewhere within his illuminated arms, @zh9bi’s ability to retract his mechanical flaps is an impressive final addition to this cosplay’s already jaw-dropping design.
Rare Geno Cosplay ProvesOne-Punch ManCan Work in the Live-Action Space
With the second season ofOne-Punch Manconcluding its run in 2019 and its much anticipatedthird season arriving sometime in 2025,it’s been quite a while since fans have seen Geno unleash Arms Mode or any of his other cyborg-specific upgrades in the anime space, with this professional-level, character-accurate cosplay design, created and worn by @zh9bi, making the long wait at least somewhat bearable. But should it take another six years to release a fourth season ofOne-Punch Man, green-lighting a live-action adaptation is an entirely viable second option, especially after seeing how spot-on thisGenocosplay turned out.
