Fragmentary

Like all cyborg characters, Genos surely has problems accepting who he is. He traded his humanity for power, to avenge his loved ones. His motivations are noble, but that doesn’t make it easier for him. He feels incomplete, inadequate. That’s why he became more than human- to feel as though he can make up for what he blames himself for- his inability to save his family. 

I think he secretly hates himself for what he is, and he is searching for purpose. He is searching desperately for a way to be completed. That is why he is so attached to Saitama. But what he doesn’t see is that he is beautiful just as he is, and life still comes from within him. He may break apart, but his will is still there, and his human soul still resides inside of him.
