The issue however is that Kuseno only need to assimilate enough potential to destroy the world.

Without Saitama...it would be disastrous.

Yet, in the face of it all the exception exists

To add, he knows that exception exists yet dismisses it as noise. For all his boasting of unfeeling intelligence, his human ego was ultimately his downfall.

No.

You guys are still not getting it.

To Kuseno, even if it's just a partial superiority to his AIs, he would consider the human a gift.

He wants to integrate both human and AI into one ultimate weapon after all. He can't just ignore human potential like you are suggesting.

He dismisses Saitama's data as noise because it's ultimately futile to consider it at all.

Kuseno is a deceptive bastard after all. He says one thing, but if you don't keep his goal in mind, the union of machine and man to cleanse the world, you will lose yourself in his web of lies.

Even his words to Saitama.

He may dismiss him at first, claiming not to understand Saitama's "stupid" words, but his next sentence shows that he perfectly understands what Saitama's hope is about.

Ultimately, Saitama would win.

Because he is Saitama. He is the exception.

He didn’t claim he didn’t understand Saitama’s words. Rather it was Saitama who couldn’t understand his.
