Damn! So who's available?

We have confirmation that Lightning Max and Smile Man are on their way.

Give me that threat level assessment!

As you can see, explosions are going off behind me. The wake of destruction left

by this monster is at an unprecedented scale. The Hero Association is analyzing

the threat level in order to... Guess I'll go.

fast one. Who are you?

Just a guy who's a hero for fun.

You're kidding.

What kind of half -assed backstory is that?

Mine far superior.

I was formed from the pollution man wrought upon the earth.

I am vaccine man!

The earth is a single living organism.

You filthy humans are nothing but a disease causing bacteria eating away at

precious life force.

In order to wipe out humanity and the evil civilization built on her surface,

the Earth and her infinite wisdom has given birth to me!

You say you do this for fun? For fun!

How dare you confront Mother Earth's apostle for such a mindless reason!

Yet what can be expected from a hero?

Not again.

All it took was one punch.

Damn it!

Thank you.

A new businessman already hating the daily grind.

I ate too much crab and turned into this crabalante.

You should be crapping in your pants right now. Why aren't you running?

Got a death wish or something?

Is that it?

Well, not quite.

I'm no businessman. I'm unemployed.

Right now I'm looking for a job.

I had another interview today and got turned down big time.

I couldn't care less about anything.

And I'm in no mood to turn tail and run, just because you're here.

So, what happens now, Grablante?

Your eyes are cold and lifeless, just the same as mine. Since we have that in

common, I think I'll let you off the hook this time.

Besides, right now I'm out hunting different prey.

A brat with a big chin.

And when I find him, I'm going to rip his arms off.

What are

you looking at?

A big chin brat.

If he's caught, he's dead.

Hey, kid.

Were you messing with a big crab monster?

While he was sleeping out in the park, I drew some nipples on his chest.

It's definitely him.

He has no idea what he's done.

What do I do?

I could still help, but... This kid's kind of weird looking.

It's none of my business, really.

I should just walk away.

Right. I mean, who really cares anyway?

Found you!

What the hell am I doing?

Listen,

kid. He's after you. Now get out of here.

Don't worry about me. Just go.

But I can't.

I gotta get my soccer ball. Are you serious?

Cold eyes.

What's the big idea?

Don't tell me you're gonna protect that stinking big -chinned brat.

Oh, come on.

You're really going to kill this kid over some harmless little prank?

Doesn't that seem kind of harsh?

Whatever, I've killed people for a lot less.

Whoever makes fun of the way I look pays the price.

No exceptions.

By the way, that little punk threw ridiculous nipples on my manly steel

impermanent marker.

I've got claws. I can't even use a towel to wipe it off.

Get in my way, and I'll make sure that job interview you blew today will be

last.

Man,

it just came to me. You look just like a villain from this kid's cartoon I used

to watch.

Stop right there.

If I watch you kill a kid right in front of me, I'll have nightmares.

You know what?

When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a hero.

Not some damn businessman, but a superhero who could send rotten villains

you flying with one punch.

Screw looking for a job.

Bring it on, crab!

Oh, a hero, huh?

Ridiculous!

Send a chance against me!

Your life ends... NOW!

Has it really been three years since then?

After that day, I trained so hard I went bald.

I became so powerful no one can beat me.

I'm the hero I'd always dreamed of becoming.

So what is this?

What's wrong with me?

Why does my heart feel so lifeless and empty?

482 yen, please.

Sure.

Oh, hang on a sec.

Here, I have the 82 yen.

Incredible little brother.

I never thought it would work so well.

Amazing. This power is more than I could have ever imagined.

My goal was to become the strongest man in the world.

The strongest man.

That was my dream.

At last, the ultimate steroid bicep king is complete.

Hey, Marugori, drink this and you will obtain the power you've been seeking.

What? You sure about this?

Indeed. I added strawberry flavoring to make it go down easier.

Okay.

Yes,

wonderful!

My brains in your brawn!

By combining the greatest of minds and the strongest of bodies this world has

offer, the two of us will conquer the earth and rule together as kings!

We're unstoppable!

Incredible!

Good! Well done!

Thousands have perished!

Now then, on to cleanse the next town as well!

This is it.

This is what I was looking for. To be the strongest man.

This is an emergency evacuation warning. A giant creature of unknown origin has

appeared in City D.

The creature is currently on a direct path towards City B.

All residents, please evacuate.

Yes!

Run! Scatter like rats!

Destroyed them all!

The strongest man.

The strongest man.

The strongest man.

So what do you think, dear brother?

Yeah, how's it feel being the strongest?

What? Get that bird on your shoulder!

Put some pants on.

That guy there on your shoulder! Kill him!

wanted was to be the strongest man in the world!

And now that I finally am, I kill my own brother!

I don't know who you are, but

that matter, I feel empty.

You get it, right?

Having overwhelming strength is pretty boring, actually.

There's no sign that the evils of this world are disappearing.

That hasn't changed since before I became a hero.

So, I guess that means I haven't really made any difference.

I'm not necessarily sad about that.

But there has been something bothering me lately.

As the days pass, my emotions grow more distant.

Fear, tension, joy, anger. I feel none of them anymore.

In exchange for power, maybe I've lost something that's essential for being

human.

Before,

I'd have all kinds of emotions whirling inside me when I fought.

Dread, panic, rage.

If you're thinking about getting in my way, I'll put a spotlight on that big

headlight of yours!

But now, all I need is one punch to end it.

Eggs over rice sounds good for dinner tonight.

Every day I come home uninjured and wash my gloves.

When I'm out fighting monsters, I never feel as if my heart's really in it

anymore.

I mean, I just do the hero thing as a hobby.

But as long as I get a kick out of it, in the end, that's all I really care

about.

My house!

He's tough.

Just what in the hell are you?

What are we? That's rude.

We are the true Earthlings. Did you say we?

I believe your kind call us subterraneans.

We suffer from overpopulation.

Therefore, we must frame the world above ground.

We've learned the surface world is overpopulated, too. This is a problem

Which is why we have decided to eradicate all of you.

Since we began our invasion operation, 70 % of the surface dwellers have died.

This is a battle for survival.

I hope you can understand that.

However, this is unexpected.

We have encountered no surface dwellers that our punches could not kill.

Oh yeah? Same here.

It's been too long since I've come across such worthy opponents.

Mole men!

We are Earthlings!

Human bastard!

Die!

What was that surface, brother? You were so strong.

Who, me?

I'm just a guy who's a hero for fun.

I never lose.

And the surface is guarded by me.

We've talked for a race of vermin.

That feeling coming over me.

This wild throbbing in my heart.

Right.

This sensation.

It's been so long.

I've forgotten the exhilaration of a real fight.

That's all.

Coming back to me now.

This is it!

Well, well.

It looks like you've been taking good care of my children, surface dweller.

Yes.

Let's see how you fare against the subterranean team.

This is the feeling I've been looking for!

I've become too strong.

Thank you.

ripped apart this week. Now it's time for me, Cravlante, to tell you about

week. Huh? No visuals?

Well, next week, this guy appears in Z -City, where Saitama lives. What now?

Time's up?

Anyway, coming up next is Episode 2, The Lone Cyborg. I hope you all...
