Why do we have to work?
Why do we have to pay for food?
Why can't we just share it?
The rich grow richer. And the poor lose their lives.
We're all tied to our jobs...
...and yet they say it's a free world!
Are you all having fun working?
No, of course you aren't!
We strongly believe we don't have to work!
That is why I, Hammerhead, will change the world...
...into one where only those who wish to work will work...
...and support the others.
We "Paradisers", lead by me Hammerhead...
...will create a utopia!
No one's listening, Boss!
What?!
Damn those foolish public!
Follow me!
We'll destroy Zeniru's house, the most loaded multi-millionaire in town!
That ought to teach'em a lesson!
-Guys like him are... -He's bald.
-...the symbol of inequality! -Don't look.
Yes, sir!
That entire skyscraper is Zeniru's home.
There's no way he made that much money legally!
That's unforgivable! Bring it down!
Yes, sir!
Target is down!
These newly developed battle suits are really something.
It was worth risking our lives to steal them from that association.
Oh, that was the wrong building.
I'm sorry, Boss. Zeniru's home is still further ahead.
Everyone makes mistakes!
It's all about using your mistakes for future reference. Am I right?
You're right.
In that case, let's head to Zeniru's.
Thank you, bicycle guy.
Don't play rock, paper, scissors with me with a booger on your finger!
It was a dream...
The terrorist group calling themselves "Paradisers" are causing successive riots.
The situation has become uncontrollable
after they destroyed a skyscraper in F-City.
This just in. The main suspect has been identified.
The B-Class wanted criminal, Hammerhead.
He's been involved in several violent incidents in the past.
He's 215 centimeters tall, and has a large build of 210 kilograms.
And he once severely injured 20 victims on a street fight...
...and they were hospitalized after.
The Paradisers sent the following message to the press.
"We'll continue to riot until food, clothing and shelter are provided..."
"... free of charge, even to those who don't have jobs."
-Such a boring case. -Which does not make much sense.
Hammerhead's followers appear to be young...
-No need to get involved this time. -...unemployed men with no will to work.
His followers have a common appearance of shaved heads.
And they have terribly dangerous auras.
The moment you witness someone with a shaved head in sight...
...please escape immediately.
Wh-What...
They look exactly like me!
I went through hell trying to be a hero...
...but I'll be treated like a villain anyway, if they keep acting up like this.
I'll crush them!
Run!
The bald guys are closing in!
They... are not backing down.
This is too dangerous!
Hold it right there, damn villains!
The righteous bicyclist, Mumen Rider, is here!
Mumen Rider came to our rescue!
We have nothing to worry about now.
A hero? This is absurd.
Here I come!
Someone call an ambulance!
Mr Zeniru, you must run for your life.
You want me to run away from a terrorist?
That's bad for my reputation.
No need to run.
You're a lucky man.
To have something like that happen while I'm still under contract.
Oh, you're that bodyguard...
Oh, Sonic!
Can I leave this for you to handle?
You're dealing with...
Of course you can.
It's their lives you should be concerned about.
Just come up with a way to dispose the heap of bodies.
The Paradisers...
They're a bunch of rioters equipped with some unknown, new model of battle suits.
And the B-Class wanted criminal, Hammerhead.
He might be able to hold up a little.
THE MODERN NINJA
That building behind the woods is the Zeniru residence.
Widely known as the Golden Turd Building.
Okay, let's do this.
Someone's here.
About time, Hammerhead.
Zeniru sent me.
Let me say this first.
I never had my enemies leave the battlefield alive.
And that isn't changing now.
I make sure to finish my job perfectly.
Surrender immediately, or you'll die.
It's your call.
What the...
What the hell is happening?!
Why's everyone...
A-Ah... crap!
You bastard!
What do you think you're doing? Trying to scare me?
Can't see me, can you?
Gotcha!
-Aah! It's the terrorist! -I'm not a terrorist, damn it!
So, he's attacking and not backing down.
Oops, there goes my bad habit again.
You're nothing but a dog bought by Zeniru's money.
Did you think a dog like you...
...could beat someone like me who's fighting for a Nobel cause?
I see, it's quite obvious.
Just as I thought, that guy is an idiot.
Couldn't he rearrange those rocks in a more subtle way?
Still plenty of rocks left to use.
They'll keep flying your way, if you don't stop me.
You think you can match my speed...
...if you figure out which direction I'm coming from?
How pathetic. Let's play along.
I'll attack you...
...head-on!
He's fast. Too fast to see him.
But I don't have to.
Because of this.
Gotcha!
You moron, I'll make you regret defying me, on your way to hell!
It's done.
No, sadly I couldn't go easy on them.
Yeah, I have Hammerhead's body here too.
I'll head back right...
His body's gone...
That was close.
I'm lucky he only stabbed me in the head.
He doesn't know my skull is many times thicker than normal.
Damn him. I don't know who he is, but I'll definitely kill him one day and...
There's someone else there.
Ah, there you are.
Once again...
...I underestimated the enemy's strength, like I did the mosquito monster.
My carelessness let Kabuto turn the tables against me.
No doubt, I would've been defeated...
...if it weren't for Mr Saitama.
I see.
-But I'm glad you're alright. -Doctor!
Once again, I owe my life to Mr Saitama.
This life that you, Dr Kuseno, once saved...
This life that Mr Saitama also saved...
...is being saved once again here, by you.
Uh-huh, I kind of get what you're talking about, Genos.
You're trying to tell me how wonderful that Saitama guy is, huh?
Yes.
Genos, I didn't have the time to finish it...
...but I'm currently working on some new spare parts for you.
When they're finished, it may help you exceed Saitama's strength.
I believe he's quite powerful, considering how much he'd inspired you.
Yes.
What do you want? You want to sign up with the Paradisers?
No, that's not it.
I'm an average guy who's being a hero for fun.
I'm set on smashing you guys for my own personal reasons.
So? We're your minions?
Then, die!
I have to leave this place soon.
What? Didn't I just punch you?
What a bummer.
I was getting all excited about that battle suit thing.
But it's such a mediocre design...
...that merely gives you some superhuman strength​.
An idiot like you will never appreciate the value of this suit...
...that I went through hell to get my hands on!
I was looking for a guinea pig​ to unleash the full force of this suit!
Spin Attack!
That technique...
I've used it a lot when I was a kid.
Huh! N-No way...
Hammerhead...
...we have a lot in common.
What the hell are you?!
N-No, wait...
I was only trying to get out of working.
Stop being the bad guy, okay?
Huh, so you aren't going to kill me?
-Go. -Y-Yes, sir.
Ahh. Guess I'll go home.
Where did Hammerhead go?
Didn't realize there were any survivors.
If you're looking for Hammerhead, he want that way.
Naked.
What the hell...
Hey, you got the wrong guy.
What do you mean?
I'm not a Paradiser.
Liar.
No, no, are you kidding me?
-Have a good look at me! -I don't have to.
You can't talk your way out of this. Look at your head.
But...
It's me, the guy who's being a hero for fun...
-...and does all those good deeds... -Never heard of you.
Oh, okay...
It doesn't matter anyway.
You saw through my special technique, twice.
That's the problem here.
I was born into this ninja business...
...and I've devoted myself to the craft since I was a child.
And you just saw through it like it was nothing.
That's unforgivable.
What's that guy talking about?
My pride won't have it.
I can't possibly let you go, no matter who you are.
Liar.
You only wanted to take your technique for a test drive, didn't you?
I can tell by that dorky grin on your face.
How about this!
This speed that exceeds sound!
And this shock wave!
Can you see me now?
Can you keep up with this speed?!
Hey...
Can I go home now?
This guy...
Blade Kick!
Checkmate.
Oh, sorry!
Uh, that wasn't on purpose.
I meant to stop at last minute, but I got carried away and... uhm...
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
I'm the strongest ninja.
I've worked every job from assassin to bodyguard.
I'm Speed-o'-Sound Sonic!
But I'm putting my job on hold for a while.
So long as I found a worthy opponent like you...
...all I can do is keep on training until I settle this.
For now, tell me your name.
It's Saitama.
Our next encounter will be your end, Saitama!
Uh.
I, Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, will make sure...
...to bring you down with my ninja skills!
Go for it!
Speed-o'-Sound Sonic?
Who's that?
And who would name himself such a redundant name?
No clue.
He came out of nowhere, calling me his enemy, and just left.
I can take care of him, if he's causing you any trouble.
You're a burden yourself.
And why are you here again?
Go home! You're just a stranger.
-Master, I need to be stronger and... -Cut it out!
I'm currently in a state of shock...
...after discovering a serious problem.
Go home, I'm begging you.
A serious problem?
What could be a serious problem for someone as great as yourself?
Please tell me about it.
No one knows who I am.
It's been three years since I became a hero for fun.
I've taken out plenty of monsters and villain organizations so far.
I never saw any other hero doing as much good deeds.
Don't I deserve to be well-known already?
Having my own fans wouldn't be exactly odd!
Do you know what I was told today?
"Never heard of you."
Can you believe it?
Even those damn towners treated me like a terrorist.
Like I never came to their rescue...
...and finished off those monsters attacking their town.
That's true.
TV reports said nothing
about Mr Saitama being the one who warded off the Paradisers.
They reported nothing about Speed-o'-Sound Sonic either.
They reported that it was Mumen's Rider's heroic attack that saved the day.
Are you telling me that...
-Master! -Uh?
Are you not signed up to the National Hero Registry?
The Hero Association Official Website What is Hero Registry?
"You're not allowed to officially reveal yourself as Hero..."
"...until you register at the association, after taking a test at our facilities..."
"...proving you exceed certain standards."
"Professional Heroes whom the association approved of..."
"...will be paid for their services, through the donations offered to us."
"Society doesn't recognize you as a Hero...
...unless you're a registered professional Hero."
"No matter how much you work individually..."
"...self-proclaimed Heroes are merely seen as weirdos..."
"...weirdos talking nonsense, and are treated with suspicion."
I had no idea...
Genos, are you registered?
No, I feel no need.
Let's register together.
If you do this, I'll make you my disciple.
Let's do it!
Fo-For...
Forgive me...
He pleads for your life​ now...
...after stealing the suits from the organization?
He's a complete fool.
Well, we only turned a blind eye, to collect data from the suits in action.
-And the body? -Leave it be.
Thank you for giving me a thick skull...
...mother. I'll find a job.
-Hero Qualification Test Application -Today we have Mr Majimeda...
...who specializes in the youth's employment problems, as our guest.
Thanks for having me.
Recently, following the Paradisers...
...the numbers of youth who have no desire to work are rapidly increasing.
What is your comment regarding the situation?
-Even if it weren't for the Paradisers... -I'm no better than them.
...listen to some of the hit songs:
"Dreams come true", "Never give up on your dreams".
Than those unemployed...
They get influenced by anything that comes their way.
Those people get frustrated and through their lives away...
...for stupid reasons.
They think that drifting away is...
Guess I'd have become just like them, if I'd made the slightest mistake.
Well...
Let's go in, Master.
Hero Qualification Test The Sixth Venue
NEXT EPISODE: THE ULTIMATE MASTER -I'm Hammerhead, who recently changed heart.
Before giving you next week's preview...
...let me introduce myself first.
No need?
On the next and fifth episode of One Punch Man: The Ultimate Master...
That's right. Maybe I'd have been a changed person if I had such a master.
