The 170,000-Year-Old Cicada Adult is a Demon-level Mysterious Being of colossal size, a winged insect large enough to darken a whole city. It surfaces in Z-City during Saitama's early training years and is brought down by him off-page, the fully grown form of the smaller Cicada Larva.
The adult cicada ranks among the most enormous creatures in the setting, its bulk broad enough to blanket an entire city in shadow. Set into the middle of its head sits a single human-like face, the one feature that breaks up its otherwise wholly insectoid form.
The creature never displays anything resembling a distinct temperament, and the source records nothing about how it thinks or behaves.
Rated a Demon-level threat, this fully matured stage is understood to outclass its larval form in raw power. A hardened outer shell shrugs off punishment, and a working set of wings lets the giant take to the air, a pairing that could trouble even the upper ranks of the Hero Association. Its sheer scale alone grants tremendous physical force, mirroring the younger form that already flattened buildings and overpowered A-Class fighters.
When it descends on Z-City during Saitama's training years, the bald hero meets it with a grin and a remark that summer has come, then finishes the fight off the page.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
