One-Punch Man 1x6

1. It's been five days since I started as a professional hero.

2. There haven't been any serious incidents so far.

3. However, for some reason Genos is staying at my house.

4. What are you writing over there?

5. I'm recording the details of your lessons and training regimen.

6. Crap.

7. He's raising the bar again…

8. I can't think of a single thing I can teach the guy.

9. I feel bad, like I'm scamming him or something.

10. Come on, think.

11. Or just make up some techniques or a spiritual theory.

12. Bah, strength training is all I've got!

13. I know Genos won't be satisfied with that. Plus, the dude's a cyborg!

14. By the way,

15. at the seminar they said if you're a C-class hero

16. and you have no hero activity for a week,

17. your name will be removed from the Hero Registry.

18. Will you be all right, Master?

19. They said that?!

20. Yes.

21. But I was watching TV and there wasn't anything going on.

22. The news only reports major incidents,

23. like natural disasters, terrorism, and dangerous monsters.

24. You always fight the most powerful enemies, so you probably do not know it,

25. but C-class heroes primarily take care of purse snatchers,

26. robberies and random attacks.

27. With C-class so full of heroes, to survive they must actively look for cases to resolve.

28. I hear many of them get discouraged and change careers.

29. Like a salesman doing cold calls, nothing will come your way without legwork.

30. This is no time to be reading comics!

31. So we're going?

32. You stay here!

33. If I'm with a S-class hero, a C-class like me won't get any credit!

34. But as your disciple—

35. Genos, from the beginning my intense desire to be a hero was what drove me to strength training.

36. That's how I made it this far.

37. For you, perhaps things will change if you aim higher as a hero.

38. Frankly speaking, you're a cyborg, so training your body won't do.

39. Instead, a change in mindset may lead you to greater strength.

40. Damn, I'm just making all this crap up…

41. So… in other words,

42. it's not about having raw power or technique.

88. It's about training your mind.

89. To do that, you must first fight your way through the professional hero industry.

90. Aim to break into the top ten of the S-class heroes.

91. That will be your goal for now.

92. I understand.

93. I will try!

94. He bought it… Sweet.

95. After that, I sped around town.

96. Frantically looking for bad guys…

97. I ran.

98. And ran.

99. And ran.

100. But...

101. The city was as quiet as ever!

102. I give up…

103. Just one more day left.

104. Guess I'll head home.

173. It's quiet today too!

174. There's nothing to do!

175. I'm gonna lose my registration!

176. Hey!

177. You're that guy…

178. What was it?

179. "Seed-on-the-Ground…"?

180. No wait, "Lost-and-found…"?

181. Jack-o'-lantern Panic!

182. It's Speed-o'-Sound Sonic.

183. I've finally found you, Saitama.

184. Today is the day we—

185. Hey sorry, I'm busy. See you 'round.

186. Huh?

187. Do you really…

188. think you can run from me?!

189. What the—

190. I didn't see what happened.

191. His face should have been sliced open, but the blade…

192. I told you… I'm busy.

193. Plus I'm pissed, so anyone in my way…

194. gets punched.

195. That's him!

196. He's very, very dangerous.

197. Please stop him.

198. So you're the offender, eh?!

199. Well, the hero, Tank-Top Tiger, is here now!

200. Hero?

201. Sonic, they think you're some sort of criminal.

202. Maybe getting tossed in a cell will cool off your hot—

203. She means you, cue ball.

204. Huh?

205. He's been running around town with this scary look on his face since yesterday!

206. But I'm a hero too!

207. I've never heard of a hero like you.

208. So what?

209. I just started!

210. In any case, you're causing problems for everyone.

211. If you're really a hero, then don't go around frightening people.

212. You're hurting all the other heroes' reputations.

213. Hey, isn't that Tank-Top Tiger?

214. Oh yeah, it is Tank-Top Tiger.

215. No way!

216. Awesome, he's the real deal!

217. Even C-class heroes get recognized if they're in the top ten.

218. So how 'bout it, new guy?

219. Wanna go a little wild here and make me look good?

300. Is this really happening?

301. What are you doing, Sonic?

302. He was interfering, so I put him to sleep.

303. Hey, call a hero!

304. A hero!

305. Run!

306. Saitama…

307. So you too have become one of these worthless "heroes?"

308. Then all I have to do is create a situation where you have no choice but to fight me, Saitama the Hero!

309. Hail of Carnage!

310. Huh?

311. Hey! Cut it out!

312. Saitama, come stop me!

313. You're a hero!

314. I'll kill them all!

315. Damn it.

316. Can't everyone just let me do my job?

317. I don't have time for this!

318. I gotta find a bad guy to take down.

319. A bad guy?

320. If you're not coming, I'll go to you!

321. I'm right here.

322. I wonder if this will count as work?

323. The man apprehended in City Z by the C-class hero

324. is suspected of being involved in several heinous crimes, including assassination.

325. City Z…

326. What's the status of the investigation I requested?

327. The one for the ghost town?

328. Yes.

329. Let's see…

330. We've submitted an official request.

331. Well now, doesn't that sound interesting?

332. Want me to go?

333. T-Tornado?

334. Where'd you come from?

335. What's it to you? Aren't I allowed in here?

336. Of course.

337. But for City Z, the investigation is just a formality.

338. What?

339. You think I'm not good enough?

340. Not at all.

341. The Association decided that this was not an S-class matter.

342. Yes, exactly right.

343. You'd better tell me if you find anything that looks like it can fight.

344. It'd be so much faster if I just went myself.

345. You're such an idiot.

346. CITY A – HERO ASSOCIATION HQ

347. Reports have come in from each location being investigated.

348. First is Watchdog Man, S-class hero, investigating City Q.

349. "Nothing unusual."

350. Nothing unusual?

351. That's right.

352. That's hard to believe.

353. We all know City Q is a hot spot with more casualties and monsters than any other area.

354. Knowing him, I'm sure he's implying that,

355. "Whatever occurs, I'll be able to take care of it."

356. Though he has focused his efforts on City Q,

357. his monster elimination track record is top-notch.

358. S-class heroes don't pay much attention to details.

359. They're not cut out for writing reports.

360. Next, City W.

361. Class A hero Heavy Kong reports: "Nothing unusual."

362. For City H, reports from Mushroom, Class B, and Horsebone, Class C:

363. "Nothing unusual."

364. For City D, Lightning Genji, Class A:

365. "Slow restoration after the devastation caused by

366. the gigantic creature aside, nothing unusual."

367. Cities B and D both sustained extensive damage.

368. The Association took a lot of heat for that.

369. In order to prevent further such disasters,

370. we must detect any covert activity that could threaten the community.

371. Well, this investigation was requested for that express purpose.

372. But early detection of monsters is proving difficult.

373. City F, A-class hero, "Snakebite" Snek.

374. "Hammerhead, former leader of the Paradiser terrorist group,

375. has been spotted in a suit and tie."

376. "Further investigation is being conducted."

377. No other reports.

378. What of City Z?

379. I hear rumblings of a potential disaster brewing in the abandoned area there.

380. No reports available.

381. However, two highly capable A-class heroes have been sent to the area to investigate.

382. Here we are in City Z.

383. CLASS A, RANK 33 SPRING MUSTACHIO

384. CLASS A, RANK 33 SPRING MUSTACHIO

385. Shall we begin our little inquiry?

386. CLASS A, RANK 29 GOLDEN BALL

387. CLASS A, RANK 29 GOLDEN BALL

388. Yeah, let's get on with it.

389. City Z is quite expansive, but further ahead lies the uninhabited area we were told about.

390. Compared with other areas, City Z has an abnormally high rate of monster-related incidents.

391. m -130.5 -69 l 129 -69 129 73.5 -130.5 73.5

392. BEWARE OF MONSTERS!!

393. m -130.5 -69 l 129 -69 129 73.5 -130.5 73.5

394. BEWARE OF MONSTERS!!

395. m -130.5 -69 l 129 -69 129 73.5 -130.5 73.5

396. BEWARE OF MONSTERS!!

397. The frequency has been gradually increasing over the past ten years,

398. while the last few have seen more and more highly advanced monsters appearing.

399. The residents have entirely fled for the city center.

400. I know all that.

401. The place is a real ghost town, just with the water and electricity still intact, yeah?

402. On the lookout for a cheap house?

403. Come off it.

404. People say something real nasty's living 'round here.

405. Even you must've heard.

406. But of course.

407. I assume that's why we have been assigned this investigation.

408. Once we hit the abandoned area, we better be ready to fight.

409. Indeed, we mustn't let our guard down.

410. But, why here?

411. Why the increase in monsters here?

412. That's the mystery.

413. Many theories have been advanced, but my own is this:

414. A colony of monsters here is naturally producing more of them.

415. Or perhaps a queen exists, birthing more of her kind.

416. Of course I have no proof yet,

417. but there is something to this ghost town…

418. Or rather, something in it.

419. Of that you can be sure.

420. The proximity alarm?

421. If we can hunt down this mysterious being,

422. we'll go straight to the top of the rankings.

423. That's true.

424. We can't let Mr. Sweet Mask remain first for—

425. Something's there?!

426. Was that a monster?

427. No way to be sure…

428. But it's hard to imagine a human still living in these conditions.

429. Let's pursue it!

430. Seems they are not after us.

431. Could this be the place I heard about?

432. Sure don't seem like it…

433. Aw man, I came all this way.

434. Isn't anyone around?

435. A monster.

436. It popped up out of nowhere.

437. Golden Ball, are you ready?

438. Hell yeah!

439. Victory to the swift!

440. Hey, people!

441. I can blast through a 20mm steel plate with one of my shape-memory golden bullets!

442. Eat this!

443. He flicked it away like nothing.

444. Golden Ball!

445. Wow!

446. Tomboy…

447. …thrust!

448. It slipped past my Tomboy?

449. Not bad.

450. Those tentacles…

451. From the way they react, they're tough as steel.

452. A monster that can use its infinite number of tentacles like steel whips…

453. Such power!

454. I must call in reinforcements from the Association.

455. May I ask if you were born in this neighborhood?

456. Nah, I'm from out of town.

457. I heard a bunch of crazy strong monsters were all getting together here.

458. Looks like it was just a rumor though.

459. But now,

460. I feel like it'd be kinda fun to stick around and make the rumor true.

461. "The Ghost Town Monster…"

462. It's got a nice ring to it!

463. We have a backup request from the heroes dispatched to City Z.

464. Class A rank 29, Golden Ball, has been knocked out.

465. Class A rank 33, Spring Mustachio, is in trouble.

466. They're in the abandoned city.

467. Call in all nearby heroes for immediate assistance!

468. A-class or stronger!

469. See the monster alert for City Z?

470. The threat level seems to be Tiger or higher.

471. Is it the ghost town monster?

472. They're not sure yet.

473. I'll go…

474. I want to catch the tiger by its tail.

475. Now I see…

476. If it means running into monsters like this all the time

477. I wouldn't want to live here either.

478. Man, boring.

479. This is boring me!

480. I finally kick a hero's butt and I don't get even a single scream.

481. Now that I think about it, even if I start living here,

482. I'll never be famous if there's no people.

483. Guess I'll keep going.

484. Gotta find where they live.

485. There's somebody.

486. Another hero?

487. Or a regular guy?

488. I thought all the humans cleared out.

489. If all those monsters were really around, there's no way he could live here…

490. I guess that means it was just a rumor.

491. Shoot…

492. I forgot to buy kelp soup stock.

493. Master, I saw a lot of kelp right outside the door.

494. Oh yeah, I just…

495. Just happened… to get it for cheap.

496. Yes, people say that kelp is good for hair growth,

497. but since there is no real scientific proof, its real effects are yet to be confirmed.

498. I did some research, so I am sure, Master.

499. For example, according to this site—

500. No one said anything about hair!

501. City Z Investigative Report.

502. "Nothing noteworthy about the downtown or residential areas."

503. "During our investigation, we encountered a ferocious monster in the abandoned area,

504. but were unable to exterminate it."

505. "We escaped death, but the monster we encountered disappeared

506. and it is possible that it still roams the area."

507. "Also, according to this monster, there's a rumor that…

508. …powerful monsters already exist in this area."

509. Sounds like it was pretty brutal.

510. A monster?

511. Y-Yes.

512. I think I'll pass this time.

513. See?

514. I told you I should have gone!

515. But…

516. faced with this,

517. I'm sure even you would have had a tough time.

518. I would have been fine, idiot!

519. The rumor has not been confirmed,

520. but the reinforcements saw signs that point to the existence of some horrible monstrosity.

521. Holy crap, what is this?

522. What kind of monster could cause such violence?

523. I'd hate to face off against this thing.

524. Hey, what's this?

525. Is it a part of the monster Spring Mustachio fought?

526. There may have been a territorial dispute between the monsters…

527. Seems like there's definitely "something" here.

528. We must continue our investigation and maintain vigilance over City Z.

529. Hey, did you hear?

530. There are monsters living in the City Z ghost town.

531. Yeah, rumor has it the toughest ones are secretly plotting something.

532. No, no. Not that rumor. It's about a more dangerous monster.

533. What's that?

534. You didn't hear?

535. I hear the place has now become terrifying for both humans and monsters.

536. THE TERRIFYING CITY

537. Come home to me

538. Come home to me

539. When my worries keep me awake by the crescent moon

561. Master, I filled in the holes in front of the house.
