Or more accurately, the MC grows the the growth is completely undone.

Gatchaman Crowds
and especially Insight.

That's the entire point of OPM. ONE even said that Saitama isn't a character, he's just a plot device to destroy monsters and that the characters are the people surrounding him.

I think Saitama is a pretty good character on his own though.

>>140735272
The author feels differently. Also, did you read Murata's or ONE's? Murata added in more personality for Saitama.

I've read both. I totally get that he's a plot device, but he's hardly a blank slate either. Stuff like him taking the piss from the populace or allowing himself to be villainized for the Sea King thing are very much his character moments, instead of catalyzing others. He's got his motivations and goals and struggles and stuff, as much as any other character I think. That said he /is/ basically the centre of the universe and every other character arc revolves around him.

Compare Araragi in Kizu to Araragi in Hana. His character has changed quite a bit.

>>140736007
Kizu and Koyomi arcs are an exception, of course.

Nonsense, Reimu has grown plenty.

For example, she wants to murder youkai even harder now.
