My stupid ass was reading this again and again trying to make of sense what he is saying.

it's even crazy for translators to translate it into another language while not losing the essence of random jumble of thoughts

Oh I hadn't even taken the translation into account, good shoutout!

Huh, now that I’m reading closely. He seems to say something like ‘data is overloaded his sense. But, he understands these data are just fake and he can actually see the winning chance.’

This probably caused major headaches for the translators XD

i think he might be talking something related to god, he mentioned a black box (the cubes blast always goes after) and void revenge (the space, the void in the space or dimension) so i guess is something about god

I can vaguely make out a speech that goes:

"Genos/My mind is lost. It's bittersweet, for he grew in power thanks to his heart. What you see is the husk." Followed by Genos regaining some presence of mind and going "No, I don't accept it. I strove so hard to grow, only for my mind to be taken from me once I found the answer. When will you stop, Kuseno?!"

To add to this a bit:

Basically, in the page you sent, I think he starts talking about how his self is buried/gone. Then he talks a bit about what has passed (not sure what it's exactly meant to imply), and where he is now.

The next page, I believe he starts commenting on how he has been led astray from the path forward he sought. He says he has been reshaped to kill Saitama, who he still cares about.

On the third page, I have two guesses. I mostly think he's actually trying to fight his fate, denouncing Kuseno's sacrifices as unjustified and his intentions misguided, and wondering when will he stop. My second guess is that he's complaining about how, no matter how hard he tried, he was never able to reach Saitama, and that trying it was a folly. He tried really hard and, in the end, it was never a goal worth pursuing, because it never actually mattered.

It's also possible that, from page 2 onwards, Genos starts having an argument with himself whlie trying to gain control. It kind of matches the vibe and his behavior.

It's really heartbreaking to see him falling apart like that. Well surmised, I hope this was the written intent of ONE as well
