Original subtitles

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

There haven't been any serious incidents so far.

However, in the midst of this new beginning, Genos ended up staying at my

So, uh, what are you writing over there? I'm recording the details of your

lessons and training regimen.

Crap. He's raising the bar again.

I can't think of a single thing I could possibly teach this guy. I feel bad,

like I'm scamming him or something.

Come on, Fink. Just make up some techniques or a spiritual theory or

Strength training is all I've got. I know Genos won't be satisfied with that.

Plus, the dude's a cyborg. By the way, earlier at the seminar, they said if you

are a Class C hero and you have no activity for a week, your name will be

removed from the hero registry.

Will you be all right, Master?

Seriously? They said that?

Yes. But I was watching TV and there wasn't anything to act on. The news only

reports major incidents.

like natural disasters, terrorism, and dangerous monsters.

You always battle the most powerful enemies, so you were probably not aware

this. But Class C heroes mostly take care of purse snatchers, robberies, and

random attacks.

With Class C so full of heroes, they must actively look for cases to survive.

Many get discouraged and change careers.

Much in the same way a salesman makes cold calls, nothing will come your way

without legwork.

This is no time to be reading manga!

Are we leaving? I am! You stay here! Don't you get it? If I'm with a classist

hero like you, then I won't get any credits! But as your disciple... Genos,

the very beginning, my intense desire to be a hero was what led me down the path

of strength training.

That's how I made it this far.

For you, perhaps things will change if you aim higher as a hero, to be more

what you are now.

Frankly speaking, you're a cyborg, so training your body would be useless.

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

Damn, listen to me. I'm just making all this crap up.

So, in other words, it's not about having raw power or technique.

Not at all. It's about training your mind.

You must first fight your way through the professional hero industry.

Aim to break into the top ten of the Class S heroes.

That will be your goal for the time being.

I understand.

I will try.

He totally bought it. Sweet news.

After that, I sped around town while frantically looking for bad guy.

I ran and ran and ran.

But the city was completely quiet.

I give up.

Just one more day left.

Guess I'll just head home, then.

I'll leave tomorrow's problems to tomorrow's me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's quiet out here today, too.

There's nothing to do.

Nothing. I'm gonna lose my registration.

Hold up.

I've run into you before.

What was your name again?

Feet on the ground?

No way. Lost and found?

Jack -o' -lantern panic!

No, it's feet of sound sonic.

I finally found you, Saitama.

Today is the day we settle our... Hey, sorry.

I'm busy. See you around, okay?

Insolent worm!

Think you can run from me?

What the... I didn't even see what happened.

His face should have been slighted open.

It's a blade one.

I told you.

I'm busy.

Plus, I'm pissed.

So anyone in my way...

Gets punched.

That's the guy. He's very, very dangerous.

A public nuisance. Please, stop him. Is that so?

You're the offender, huh?

Well, the Tate Top Tiger is here.

A hero?

Bad news, Sonic.

They think you're some sort of criminal.

Maybe getting tossed in a cell will cool off that hot he - She means you, Q

-Ball.

a minute. I'm a hero too.

You are, huh? I've never heard of a hero like you. So what? I just started,

okay? In any case, you're causing problems around here for everyone.

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

You're hurting all the other heroes' reputations.

Hey, isn't that Tinktop Tiger over there? Can't believe it. It is Tinktop

Awesome. He's the real deal.

Even Class C heroes get recognized.

Well, if they're in the top ten, anyway.

So, how about it, new guy?

You wanna fight?

And make me look good in the process?

Exploding Hurricane!

I jumped, Tiger!

Is this really happening?

What was all that for, Sonic?

He was interfering.

So I tucked him in for a nap.

Hey, Call of Hero!

Now! Quick!

Run for it!

Interesting, though.

So you too have become one of these worthless association heroes.

Then all I have to do is to create a situation where you're forced to fight.

Saitama the hero!

Hail of Garnet!

Mama! The forces fight me!

You're a hero!

Can you prevent their death?

Damn it all.

Can't everybody just let me do my job?

I don't have time for this crap.

I gotta find a bad guy to take down.

A bad guy?

Not coming?

Then I'll go to you!

I'm right here.

I wonder if taking out this guy will count

as work.

The man apprehended by the Class C hero the other day in City Z is suspected of

being involved in several heinous crimes, including assassination.

City Z again, huh?

What's the status of the investigation I requested?

You mean the one for the ghost town?

Yes. Let me see.

It appears an official inquiry has been submitted.

Well, doesn't that sound ever so interesting?

Want me to check it out?

Tornado! Now, how did you get in here?

Why? Aren't I allowed in here?

Of course. For City Z, the investigation's a formality. It's not

time. What?

You mean you don't think I'm good enough?

That's not it.

The Association decided this was not a class F matter, that's all.

Yes, exactly right.

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

It'd be much faster if I went myself.

You guys are idiots.

Reports have come in from each location being investigated.

First is Watchdog Man, Class S hero, investigating City Q. Nothing unusual.

Nothing unusual?

Yes, sir.

That's hard to believe. We all know City Q is a hot zone with more casualties

and monsters than any other area under our jurisdiction.

Well, sir, knowing him, I'm confident he believes that whatever may occur, he'll

be able to take care of it on his own without assistance.

Though he's focused his efforts on City Q.

His track record at monster elimination is top -notch. There's really no need to

worry. Class F heroes don't pay attention to details. They're not ones

writing reports.

Next, City W.

Class A hero Heavy Kong reports, nothing unusual.

In City H, Mushroom Class B and Horsebone Class C report, nothing

In City D, Lightning Genji Class A report, slow restoration after the

devastation caused by the gigantic creature aside, nothing unusual.

City's B &D both sustained extensive damage.

The Association took a lot of heat for that.

In order to prevent more disasters from occurring, we must be diligent and

uncover any covert activity that could threaten our society.

Well, keep in mind this investigation was requested for that express purpose,

but detecting these monsters is more difficult than expected.

City F, Class A Hero, Snakebite's Neck reports.

Hammerhead, former leader of the Paradiser terrorist group, has been

a suit and tie.

Further investigation is being conducted.

No other reports.

What about City Z?

I've heard repeated rumblings of a potential disaster brewing somewhere in

abandoned area.

No reports available.

However, two highly capable Class A heroes have been sent to investigate, so

should get to the bottom of these rumors soon.

Here we are in City Z.

Are you ready to begin our little inquiry?

Yeah, let's get on with it and get out of here.

City Z is quite expansive, but further ahead lies the abandoned area, the one

were told to investigate.

Compared with other areas, City Z has an abnormally high rate of monster

-related incidents.

The frequency has been increasing over the past ten years.

The last few having more and more advanced monsters appearing.

And the residents have fled for the safety of the city center.

I know.

This place is like a ghost town. Only the water and electricity are still

intact, right? Indeed. Looking for a cheap house?

Come off it.

People say something real nasty is living around here. Even you must have

about it.

But of course.

I assume that's why the two of us have been assigned to this investigation.

Once we hit the abandoned area, we need to walk in with our game faces on.

Agreed. We mustn't let our guard down for a second.

But why here?

Why the increase in monsters in this place?

Well, that's the mystery, isn't it?

There are quite a few theories out there about it, and here's mine. A colony of

monsters resides here and is naturally producing more of them.

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

Hmm.

Of course, I have no proof of this yet, but there is something to this ghost

town.

Or rather, something in it.

Of that you can be sure.

Proximity alarm.

What script is it? If we can hunt down this mysterious being, we'll go to the

top of the rankings, no doubt.

True. We can't let Mr. Amai Mask remain pert forever, can we?

Something's there.

Was that a monster?

There's no way to be sure.

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

Let's pursue it.

It seems they are not after us.

Can this be the place I heard about?

I don't know. Sure don't seem like it.

Oh, man. I came all this way for nothing.

Isn't anyone around?

A monster.

It came out of nowhere.

Let's take it down. Ready, Golden Ball? Hell yeah!

Victory to the Swift!

Hey, people!

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

bullets. Fuck on this!

He just flicked it away!

Gorgon Ball!

Tomboy.

Let's have my tomboy attack.

Not too bad.

Those tentacles. From the way they react, they're top of steel.

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

Such power.

Must call in reinforcements from the association.

I would like to ask you a question, if I may. I was just wondering if you were

born in this neighborhood.

Hmm? Nah.

Actually, I'm from out of town.

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

Too bad.

Looks like it turned out to be just a rumor.

But now... I feel like it'd be kind of fun to stick around and make the rumor

true. A self -fulfilling prophecy.

I could be the ghost town monster.

It's got a nice ring to it.

We have a request for backup from the two heroes that were dispatched over to

City Z.

Class A rank 29 Golden Ball has been knocked out.

Class A rank 33 Spring Mustachio is in trouble.

They're in the abandoned city.

Call in all nearby heroes for immediate assistance.

Class A and above.

See the monster alert for City Z? The threat level seems to be tiger or

Is it the ghost town monster?

They're not sure yet.

I'll go.

I want to catch the tiger by its tail.

Now I understand.

If it means running into monsters like this all the time, I wouldn't want to

live around here either.

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

Now that I think about it, even if I start living here, I'll never be famous

there's no people around.

Guess I'll just keep going.

Gotta find out where they're living.

Huh?

There's somebody.

Is it another hero?

Hmm. Or just a dude.

I thought all the regular humans cleared out.

If the monster really did exist, there's no way he could live here.

I guess that means it was just a rumor.

Crap.

I forgot to buy konbu soup stock.

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

Oh, yeah. Funny story. I, uh, just happened to catch it.

For a really good price.

People say that konbu is good for growing hair, but there is no scientific

proof, so its real benefits have yet to be confirmed. I did some research, so I

am sure, Master.

For example, according to this site... No one said anything about hair!

City's the investigative report.

There is nothing noteworthy to report in the downtown or residential areas.

During our investigation, we encountered a ferocious monster in the abandoned

area, but were unable to exterminate it and left it in defeat.

Fortunately, we escaped death, but the monster we encountered there

and it's possible that it still roams the area.

Also, according to the monster itself, there's a rumor that powerful monsters

have gathered in secret and already exist in this area.

That's rough.

It sounds like it was a pretty brutal encounter.

A monster, huh?

Yes.

Think I'll pass this time.

You see?

Told you I should have gone. You're so lame.

I'm sorry, but when faced with something like this, I'm sure even you would have

had a tough time. It's unprecedented.

You idiot.

I would have been just fine.

The rumor has not been confirmed yet, but the reinforcements saw signs that

point to the existence of some horrible monstrosity.

Holy crap, what happened out here? What kind of monster could cause such

violence? I'd hate to face off against whatever this crazy thing is.

Hmm. What's this?

Is it a part of the monster Spring Mustachio's been fighting against? There

have been a territorial dispute between the monsters.

But either way, seems like there's definitely something here.

This requires resolution. We must continue our investigation and maintain

vigilance over City Z.

Hey, did you hear the news there are monsters living in the city's a ghost

Yeah, I heard someone say the toughest ones are secretly plotting something No,

no, not that rumor.

It's about a more dangerous monster What do you mean you didn't hear I'm told

the place has now become terrifying for both humans and monsters

Thank you.

Thank

you.

Thank you.

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

Ah, okay, thanks.

Also, your rank has gone from last place, 388th, to 342nd.

Congratulations. So?

Wait, because of that panic guy?

Guess he boosted my ranking.

Cool.

So, I think it's been about a week now.

Have you done anything?

No, not yet anyway.

Well, you've still got time, I guess.

I am still ranked last in class asperability.

17th place.

Sounds like you still need lots of training.

But according to popularity rankings voted on by the public, I am number six.

Hi!

A 19 -year -old genius who made his debut in Class S. He is fantastic.

He is so handsome. Love how he refuses to do media interviews.

Cool. Those kinds of comments.

Good God.

How are you not embarrassed to read those out loud?

Quite simple.

This is based on impressions from my photo. They are not true evaluations of

I think nothing of them.

Oh, yeah?

The Cyborg Prince.

Behind the steely exterior, I feel his fragile self.

Top five handsomest heroes. Enough already!

Greetings, this is Blizzard.

Perhaps you know me better as Blizzard from Hell.

Well, I only had a bit part in this episode.

Next on One Punch Man is episode seven, The Ultimate Disciple.

The Blizzard Bunch will finally make its appearance.

Miss Blizzard, we're not scheduled to go on next week. Are you kidding me?
