Not going to lie, I am not surprised Sweet Mask is a monster after all, what with the face changes during fights and all the beatings he takes while barely reacting to them.
Also, the way he tells his story is the typical way all monsters explain their backstory...
Actually, are we sure Saitama isn't a monster? The story of how he got his powers is also similar to how monsters usually develop, but I guess something happened and he ended up as he is now? Maybe in the past he was Blast, but something happened and he monsterized into Saitama after some event, or some weird thing like that.

from what I understand, ONE just anwsers Muratas questions about characters and gets a quick run down of stuff, kinda like what Toriyama does with Toyotaro, this chapter in itself shows how poignant ONEs writing is, compared to stuff like the martial arts tourney filler, the comparison is jarring.
Heck, even the confrontation with the Ninjas clashes with the Battle Flashy had with the 2 other ninjas in the Monster Asoc, there was never any mention of the 300 Ninja Master by the 2 monster ninja, nor how they were wiped out by blast, not even a hint or foreshadowing.

i have a lot of affection for sweet mask now. i always thought him being something other than human was intriguing but the fact that he is losing his humanity to become a symbol is very interesting. great chap.

Saitama likely transformed, and we know he is gradually losing his human emotions. For some reason he doesn't have hostility/killing intent fighting to take over though.

What is a hair stylist expected to do for Saitama?
I don't agree or like the theories of Saitama being a monster.
The most inspiring thing about this manga is the fact that a totally normal man that was born with no advantages through genetics or some kind of special supernatural 'fate' pushed his way to a place of absolute power through sheer determination and willpower alone.
In fact, it genuinely inspires me on a day to day basis, even though it's totally fiction.
As far as I can tell, it's a pretty much unheard of idea in anime/manga.
The best thing about Saitama is that it seems he's morally unshakeable as much as his body is unbreakable.
I love that the desires and motivation of the S class is finally being explored through interaction with Saitama. I think it's really adding depth to the story.
Zombieman wants to have his power, Flashy wants to teach him and Sweet mask wants to change him.
