THE OBSESSIVE SCIENTIST
Long ago, lived a young, yet genius scientist.
He made the most of his formidable intellect...
...and contributed greatly to the entire world.
However...
...it wasn't long before he felt despair at the world.
Despite his genius intellect being extolled by many...
-...no one ever appreciated the ideas... -Dr. Genus, the father of dangerous ideas.
...that he have been bringing to the world.
His sole dream was never about human civilization...
...but rather the directed evolution of human beings as a species.
That was the only dream he ever wanted to fulfill...
...but he never found someone who would cooperate.
You darn hicks!
How dare you call my ideas "dangerous"?!
You think I'm a crank?!
Do you think the human race ever had a breakthrough without a few risks?
Those blockhead who don't think that they need to evolve...
...don't even deserve to pass on their genes!
This plan was for my personal advantage to begin with.
I will execute, even I had to do it on my own.
Thereafter, he devoted himself to his research...
...and his plan started to speed up, a little after he became 70 years old.
He started off by regaining his youth.
Then, he created clones of his own.
He called their laboratory by the name "House of Evolution"...
...and along with his clones...
...he conducted countless animal trials, till he created a new species.
And before long, he started conducting his experiment on humans.
Enough!
Huh?
All of that has nothing to do with me.
You're just showing off again!
Just get to the point, will you?
Mr Saitama is a busy man.
Give a brief summary in 20 words or less.
S-Sorry.
Er... to sum up...
Our boss has become interested in your body.
I'm not interested in men, though.
That's not what he meant, Master.
It seems he's planning to use your physique
that transcends human abilities...
...for his research on evolution.
I'm afraid he'll send more assassins for you, if we don't deal with him.
We cannot leave this matter unresolved.
Next time, we will be the ones planning the attack.
Alright, let's go.
Yes.
Huh... now?
Yeah, I have no other choice. There's a bargain sale tomorrow.
Master!
Oh, no. I have to report to the Doctor.
-Hey! -Ah, yes!
This is my last question.
Has the House of Evolution been conducting cyborg development research...
...for more than 4 years?
How many more are there?
And have they caused a massive destruction of an entire town, in the past?
I don't know.
But I'm the only cyborg made for battlefield, in the House of Evolution.
Idiots!
Our elite forces...
...formed for the extermination of those obsolete humans were wiped out?
Armored Gorilla reported that these two are planning an attack.
If they find their way here...
...the fruit of the research that you've built for years might get destroyed.
This is a serious matter.
I'll have to use my secret weapon.
Get ready to release Carnage Kabuto.
What!
-Anyone but him. -No way!
At last, he'll be released.
-This is the last resort. -I don't think we should do this.
This is too dangerous!
I have a bad feeling about this.
-Do we have any other choice? -Calm down!
He'll merely be our final resort.
But...
For starters, we'll lay countless traps, all around our eight floors.
It'll be over in no time, if we're lucky.
I'm aware of the consequences, if this plan fails.
I'm well aware.
I never thought we'd go running.
Any other ideas?
I was certain that you were able to fly.
Humans can't fly, you know that right?
And still you always make it on time so skillfully.
You're a true hero.
No, I'm almost never on time.
We're here.
The spot Gorilla was talking about.
-This is... -The House of Evolution.
One, two, three, four, five, six...
I think it's an eight-floor building.
Uh... what do you think you're doing?
Eh? I decided this would be the most efficient method...
...to bring them all down at once.
That is true...
...but the enemy must've made thorough preparations for us...
You're so mean.
Looks like the basement entrance.
S-Stop!
Hey, Carnage Kabuto.
How have you been?
You've killed lots of my clones, again.
Are you satisfied now?
Such a fool...
No way that would satisfy me.
How dare you lock me up in your basement?
Me, the most formidable force of the House of Evolution!
Your mind is messed up.
You left us no choice, not being able to control you.
Control me?
Fool.
I'm the perfect form of the "New Human" that you guys have worked for.
My strength and intellect are incomparable to yours, the obsolete generation.
That's why you're the ones who should heed my orders.
No, you're a failure.
You do have some extraordinary abilities...
...but you're coarse.
You can go ahead and kill me.
I have plenty of substitutes.
But let me say this...
I have a sample that I need to get hold of.
But I'm afraid the target is extremely powerful.
Only you can bring him down.
Bring him to me...
...dead or alive.
Their basement is huge!
I'm getting excited.
I can sense someone over there.
Master, two beings are closing in.
Aha, there they are!
Which one do you want down?
Argh... One on the right.
You don't need that guy on the left, then!
Genos?
Hey...
I'm Carnage Kabuto.
We have a special room for combat training...
...so let's get it done there.
How dare you turn Genos into some contemporary art​ piece?
You have some nerve!
See how huge it is!
This is the most gigantic room in this facility.
This is where subjects fight each other...
...to test their combat abilities.
Well... bring it on.
Oh...? You're still alive?
Fool...
Machine Gun Blow!
I failed...
He...
I...
You broke your face. Don't push yourself.
With his breath... How?
Genos, you alright?
F-Fine...
How fine! Look at your head!
That was such a promising performance, wasn't it?
For a long time...
...I've questioned the poor abilities that humans had.
I was all surrounded by humans who seemed like dumb animals.
And how agonizing that was...
I remember, when I was 15 years old...
...I was struck by the idea of directed evolution...
...to create a world where I can finally belong.
My own Utopia that I can build up with my own hands.
A new world...
...that only us "New Humans" who rise above all, can occupy.
I have to see for myself.
This is nothing compared to the agonizing pain I felt back when...
Hey! Give it all you got!
Full force.
Carnage Kabuto, the most fierce demon the House of Evolution ever created.
I wonder how an ordinary human like you...
...will pull a fight against the ultimate form of directed human evolution.
Will you be my key into the next stage of human evolution?
Show me what you're made of.
Oh, I know... I know.
You're a strong one.
Don't disappoint me.
You're the ultimate weapon of this facility, aren't you?
Clearly, you're different than those I met this morning.
You look overconfident.
He's fast!
What are you doing?
Hey...
He ran away...
Carnage Kabuto ran away...
If I'd started a fight, I would've been done.
What the hell is he!
We does look defenseless...
...but my instincts are giving out a scream of danger signals.
Huh?
You bastard!
How the hell can someone like you...
...get hold of such strength?!
You too want to find out?
Very well.
Genos, I need you to hear this too.
This is where I find out...
...about the secret of his strength.
I want to hear about this too.
Um...? Who're you?
I'm Genus.
Very well.
Listen carefully.
This isn't right...
How can he tell these guys about this...
First of all, you need to ask yourselves...
...whether you're able to keep up the next training program.
Training?
No alteration surgeries or genetic modification...
...only training!
What... kind of training...
Listen up, Genos.
It's all about persistence.
Regardless of the hardship.
I gained such strength in 3 years.
A 100 push-ups!
A 100 sit-ups!
A 100 squats!
And running 10 kilometers!
Every single day!
And of course, eating three full meals a day.
One banana for breakfast is fine.
And the best part is...
...refraining from using air conditioning all year long, to boost your willpower.
At first, it may feel tormenting.
You may feel like taking a break for at least one day.
But I was determined to become a powerful hero.
That's why I was persistent, no matter how difficult or agonizing it was.
I squatted when my legs were numb and heavy.
And I did my push-ups even when my arms cracked.
I started noticing some changes after a year and a half.
I was bold...
...but stronger.
I basically pushed myself enough that my hair fell off.
This is how you gain strength.
Your sham of revolution research on New Humans will never get you where I am.
The true power of us human beings is that we can change ourselves on our own.
N-No way...
Is he... serious?
Master...
...you're unbelievable...
Don't mess with us!
Eh?
That is merely muscles training!
Oh...
It isn't even that intensive...
...but ordinary!
I... I need to become stronger!
I didn't ask for your guidance to hear such a sick joke!
It's obvious that your strength...
...isn't the result of some ordinary muscle training!
That's right... I'm your...
I have to learn your secret!
Genos...
There's nothing else I can tell you. This is all I ever did.
Huh?
I see...
Hey, Carnage Kabuto?!
I don't mind if you refuse to share your secret.
Stop... are you going rogue on me again?
I bet you aren't stronger than me, anyway.
However, you got on my nerves...
...so I'll beat you to death.
Carnage Mode!
At this rate, I'll lose my mind...
...and my fighting instinct will take over for at least one week.
Then after ending you, I'll hit the city and start a massive massacre...
...up-til next Saturday!
If you think you're an invincible hero, give it your best shot!
Oh no...
No way...
Master...?
Oh no...
I think I've made a terrible mistake.
That Carnage Mode of his...
...sends him on a rampage for a whole week?!
Die, die, die, die, die, die...
He'll keep this up till next Saturday?!
An entire week...
Next Saturday...
This means that today is also Saturday.
Which means...
This is it.
No one from this world is able to stop him.
Which means...
Today...
...is the supermarket's...
...budget sale!
What the hell is wrong with that guy?!
I'm screwed!
-What is he talking about?! -I think...
...he's talking about this.
Big Budget Sale Only Saturdays
Master, they don't close up until 10:00 tonight.
It's a one-way trip of 4 hours.
We can still make it on time, if we hurry.
-We can still make it if we hurry? -Yes!
-Let's head out, Genos! -Roger, Master.
I'm done... with this research.
I'm the one...
...who has to change...
Yes, we're examining the site at the moment...
Yes, positive.
It's been burnt to ashes by some strong firepower, just like the other cases.
I think it's safe to say that it's that young cyborg's doing.
Yes, understood.
Such a nasty force.
True.
-NEXT EPISODE: THE MODERN NINJA -Hey, it's Carnage Kabuto.
My name in Japanese is a combination of Kanji letters...
...that mean "inspiration", "discipline" and "arrange"...
...and is spelled "Ashura".
How do you like it? You don't care, do you?
On the next and forth episode of One Punch Man...
..."The Modern Ninja"...
...that long-awaited man will make an appearance.
