Initiating docking procedures.
Roger that.
Elevating from six to nine on the toreno scale.
City A Hero Association HQ
The course suddenly changed.
I understand.
We will come up with a way to deal with this situation.
Shall I go now?
Okay.
Master.
For some reason the hero association called for me,
so I'll be back in a bit.
Okay. Maybe they're going to fire you.
The Ultimate Disciple
City Z Hero Association Branch Office
Oh, so yo must be Genos.
I'm Bang.
It's nice to meet you.
Bang. A silver fang Class S Rank 3. He's the real deal.
I was called by the association.
Everyone went to the head quarters.
This branch office is completely empty now.
All the Class S heroes were called to come here,
but you and I are the only ones who came.
Why is that?
Maybe the location was inconvenient or they were busy with other things.
Of course, there are some that just didn't want to bother.
You can't blame them. The only time we're ever called is
when they need us to fix the impossible.
This time is no exception.
They pushing upon us a threat level called Dragon.
It's the worst case scenario.
They're asking nearby S class heroes to do something about a large meteorite
that's going to fall here, in City Z, within the next 35 minutes.
A meteor?!
It seems to have suddenly changed it course,
and it's heading straight toward this city.
If it falls, city Z will be destroyed.
There's nothing we can do this time.
You should evacuate with your loved ones.
Do the citizens know about this?
I was told that they will issue evacuation orders 30 minutes before
the meteor hits.
This is an announcement from the Hero Association.
There's going to be a lot of panic.
And what is an old man like you going to do?
Who are you calling an old man? Call me Bang-San.
Aren't you going to evacuate?
I cannot leave behind the dojo that's been in my family for generations.
Behavior like flowing water, crushing rock
Have you ever heard of it?
He's gone...
Emergency Evacuation.
Threat Level Dragon.
Please evacuate immediately.
21 minutes until the meteor hits.
-City Z will be completely destroyed. -It's huge!
-I don't think we'll make it... -Evacuate as quickly as possible.
Evacuate as far as possible.
A lot of people are giving up on survival this time.
Not only will city Z be destroyed, the cities around it will demolish too.
It's too late to evacuate now.
I didn't think I'd be using my new prototype so soon!
I wonder if I can intercept with my incinerator in full power.
Master lives in this city too. I can't leave him behind.
That's...
You must be Bofoy.
And you must be the newcomer, Genos.
Did you come to stop the meteor?
Yeah.
Class S Rank 7.
A hero that uses high fire power weapons
to demolish not only his enemies but the buildings around it.
I wonder if he lives in City Z too or sacrificed his life to come here.
Bofoy, please lend me your strength.
I refuse.
Why?
I just came here to test my new weapon.
The meteor came at a good time.
A test? If the meteor strikes, you'll die along with the rest of us.
I won't die.
What?
You're currently speaking to a robot being operated by afar.
Unfortunately, I'm not risking my life.
Also, I'm not Bofio, I'm Metal Knight.
Don't call a hero by their real names. Call them by their hero names.
Haven't you learned that already?
This isn't really the time to chat anymore.
Firing missile!
Metal Knight?!
His missiles are in the way.
He...
has such destructive weapons!
He's dangerous. I need to be cautious.
This level of power isn't enough.
Approximately 33 seconds until impact.
I need five seconds to charge my body energy
so I can intercept with my incinerator.
However, the target is already very close.
Even if I hit my target, what will I do after?
The meteorite may rupture and it may still create a disaster.
Will my weapon even be enough to stop it?
Even Metal Knight's countless missiles had no effect on it.
Just calm down.
You've lost your composure.
You're much too young to worry about failure.
When your backs against the wall, just don't think and attack.
It won't change the outcome. It's the best way.
Not thinking about it... is best?
Right.
If the outcome won't change,
I might as well give it my all!
Bang! Stay down!
I won't think about failing or damages I may cause.
I will give my all to this one hit!
It's not working?!
No! It looks like you're pushing back the meteorite!
Are you sure?
Oh, no. It just looked like it.
You shitty old man!
So this is my grave?!
Nine seconds left.
Run Bang-San.
Old man, look after Genos.
Wh-Who are you?
I work as a hero.
Master!
Don't be falling on my city!!!
He shattered it!
I can't believe it!
But...
It's falling!
It's not only this building,
but the whole city is being swallowed by a wave of destruction.
I guess that's settled.
3 Days Later
Although City Z was able to avoid being demolished by the meteorite,
the shattered pieces of the meteorite will leave a big scar on the city.
According to City Z head quarters...
Only if the Hero Association called for you, Master, rather than me.
Then you and Metal Knight could have
worked together to keep the destruction to a minimum.
But you said Metal Knight only thought of himself.
Don't worry about it.
I think we did keep it at a minimum.
There were no fatalities.
He's right. His one punch greatly diminished the power of the meteor.
The city should have been demolished due to the meteor.
This was a miracle.
I wouldn't be surprised if Master becomes legendary for years to come.
Everyone will praise him for being so courageous.
But Master doesn't know.
Some are blaming him for the partial destruction of City Z,
even though he saved the city itself.
However, this isn't something I should tell him.
By the way, I think our ranks moved up.
Yes, they have.
I've gone up from Class S Rank 17 to Rank 16.
Metal Knight went from Class S Rank 7 to Rank 6.
And you, Master, have gone from Class C Rank 342 to Rank 5.
It's a sudden jump.
Rank 5?!
What do you me 342 to 5!
That's crazy!
No.
In fact, your performance was worthy of being promoted to either Class A or S.
I mean, it was a critical situation with a threat level dragon.
If there were no damages,
they probably would have promoted you to Class S Rank 5.
Even with the destruction of the meteor alone,
you could have jumped to Class A.
Apparently the Hero Association assumed that
Metal Knight and I played a large role in this time's events.
By the way, they always name the threat levels as demon and tiger.
Is there any meaning to that?
Yes there is.
Tiger -A crisis threatening the lives of many.
Demon -A crisis stopping the city's function and or destruction.
Dragon -A crisis threatening the destruction of multiple cities.
God -A crisis threatening to demolish all human life.
So this is how it is.
Usually, heroes take these threat levels into consideration to decide
whether or not they should jump into action.
But it seems as though you haven't given it much thought.
Of course not.
If a hero decides not to show, whose going to fight for everyone?
What are you doing?
I'm writing down the words you just said now.
Aside from that, I didn't think my level would jump this much
for something like that.
I'm going to go make some rounds outside.
Are you going out? If so, I'll come along.
Don't come.
If you come, it'll only be to your merit again.
This is quite the destruction.
The super market I go to often is destroyed.
How about the apartment where the landlord kicked me out...
It's intact. Tsk.
Hey!
You cheating bastard!
Um, and you are?
You know who I am! Tanktop Tiger!
Brother!
-I've found him! -I really don't remember who he is...
Did you call me, little brother?
Brother!
Hero Tanktop Black Hole has arrived!
So it's you!
The cheat who took credit from Class S heroes to jump the rankings!
What the heck?
Jumping all the way to Rank 5 in such a short time.
He has to be a cheat!
What do you guys want to do?
Huh?! Of course,
we're going to beat you to the pulp so you can't show yourself anymo...
Wait, little brother.
He's the type who won't give up even if we do so.
We really need to hurt him,
in the worst way possible...
Are you the one who completely destroyed this city?!
I see! There are those in this city who are angry with him.
How unbelievable! How can you do such a thing!
So he wants to use their anger in order to...
Don't you feel a thing seeing how much you've destroyed the city?!
Break his spirit!
Look at you gloating thinking you've saved everyone!
That's probably why you're showing your face off around here!
There are so many who've lost their homes due to your failure!
Just because you got in the way,
the other heroes couldn't do their job right!
Do you still expect to be a hero
even after all the destruction you've caused?!
Look at this city! You did this!
That's right.
I-It's your fault!
They bit!
Did you hear that?! The outcries of those who've lost their homes!
There are so many victims thanks to your thoughtless actions!
-Yeah! -He's right!
Haven't you even thought to take some responsibility?!
-Yeah! -You coward!
Quit being a Hero!
Quit! Quit! Quit! Quit! Quit! Quit!
We got him! His pride and reputation are now shattered!
That's what he get's for being a cheat.
Idiot!
Quit! Quit! Quit! Quit! Quit! Quit!
So is this what they call a group mentality?
It sure is scary.
Quit! Quit! Quit!
Saitama-kun,
There's no mistake that you've saved the lives of this city.
But then this is how the city reacts. That's reality for you.
You're the strongest out of everyone I've met.
Which is why you're not fighting back now.
I don't want to see you rot in this industry.
Resigning is an option too.
I'm going to finish him!
Hey! He's preparing to fight!
Huh? What are you saying?
Don't tell me that you're trying to endanger the citizens
like you did this city!
Are you trying to kill everyone just because you're not getting your way?!
I'm not going to let you do that!
The Tanktop Brothers will not allow your outbursts!
If you're a hero, you should face us like a hero!
They're trying to raise their popularity along with destroying a new hero.
They've shown a little too much greed.
That's why they're stuck at Class B.
-Go Tanktop! -Just finish him off!
Tanktop Tiger who fights like a tiger!
And Tanktop Black Hole who breaks everything with his bare hands
which have a grip strength of 200kg!
Us brothers will punish anyone who strays from the path of a hero!
Damn it!
I'm going to break you!
Ouch!
U-U-U-U-Uncle!
My hands going to break!
Huh? You're kidding me right?
I'm really calling uncle!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry I lied!!!
No, you didn't lie.
I'm the one who destroyed the meteor!
I'll listen to anyone who has something to say about it!
Go ahead!
But, because of you, my new car...!
Shut up!
I don't care about your damages!
Why don't you say that to the meteor! You idiot!
Listen carefully!
I didn't become a hero so I can be praised and admired by you guys!
I'm doing it because I want to!
If you have a problem with that, that's your deal!
You baldy!
You're the bald one...
What'd you say?!
Master.
Oh, hey Genos.
Just give me a sec. He just-
Let's go home.
Master.
Oh, if you think that's best.
Damn it.
I've ingrained his face in my brain.
I won't forget his face.
Master.
I've never met anyone as amazing as you.
Why are you saying that all of a sudden? You're freaking me out.
Even if society doesn't appreciate you,
I'll always follow you.
You don't have to suck up to me.
There's a really strong Class C hero!
Class C?!
The guy whose claiming to have destroyed the meteor, right?
That's such a lie!
Thinking he's a hero after targeting only the weak.
There's no heroes that are actually dependable.
Next King of the Deep Sea
My name is Bofoy.
You know me better as Metal Knight.
Next on One Punch Man Episode 8
King of the Deep Sea
He's going big claiming he's the king of the sea.
I'm curious to see what kind of person he is.
