Yes, this is that.

Initiating docking procedures.

Roger.

Elevating from six to nine on the Torino scale.

So the course suddenly shifted.

I see.

Then we'll discuss how best to deal with this situation.

Should I go right now, then?

Understood.

Master, for some reason the Hero Association wants me to come in. I will

later.

Okay. Maybe you're getting fired.

Oh!

to make your acquaintance. I'm Bang.

Class S Rank 3, aka Silver Fang.

He possesses true skill.

The association called me in.

Everyone else is over at headquarters.

This branch office is empty now.

Every Class S hero got the call to come here, but you and I are the only ones

who showed up. And why is that?

Maybe this branch is too far away, or perhaps they're busy.

Of course, some of the more cold -blooded ones simply don't bother.

Then again, it's hard to blame them. We're only called when there's an

impossible problem to take care of.

And today's dilemma is no exception.

The threat level is dragon, meaning it's a worst -case scenario.

35 minutes from now, a huge meteor will strike City Z. They're asking if nearby

Class F heroes can do anything about it.

Meteor? Apparently it suddenly changed paths.

That new trajectory means the end for us. The impact will wipe out City Z.

I'm afraid there's nothing we can do this time. You should think about

evacuating with your loved ones as the others have.

Do the citizens know?

I was told the powers that be would issue evacuation orders 30 minutes

hits.

Attention! This is an important announcement from the Hero Association.

People are surely going to panic.

And you, old fellow?

Old fellow, is it? I told you. Call me Bang.

You are not evacuating?

There's a dojo for martial arts here that's been in my family for

I cannot abandon it.

Fifth of Blowing Water, Crushing Rock.

Ever heard of it?

Huh. He left.

It's huge.

No way we can escape that thing.

So many people have given up hope of surviving this tragedy.

It is not just City Z that is in danger. The neighboring cities will also

sustain damage.

It is too late to evacuate.

I did not expect to be testing this prototype so soon!

Let me see if an attack from my incineration cannon at full power will

trick.

Master Saitama lives here too.

I cannot possibly evacuate without him.

What is that?

You are Bowboy, correct?

And you are the new boy, General.

Have you come to stop the meteor?

Yes.

Class S, rank 7, uses intense firepower to obliterate opponents along with

everything in their vicinity.

Does he also live in City Z, or did he rush here, putting his life at risk?

Bowboy, I am in need of your assistance.

I refuse.

Why is that?

I only answered the call to field test my new weapon.

The meteor is a perfect target.

A field test?

If that meteor hits, you will die too.

Fortunately, I won't. How so?

What you are talking to is a remote -controlled drone.

I'm a good distance away.

Terribly sorry to disappoint you, but my life's not at stake here.

Also, I'm not Boford.

I am Metal Knight.

Heroes call each other by their hero names, not their real names. Everyone

that.

Looks like it's time.

Sorry to cut off our little chat.

All right.

What missile?

Metal Knight?

I cannot fire with his missiles in the way.

Amazing. Such destructive power.

This hero is dangerous.

I must be careful around him.

Unfortunate. Not quite potent enough.

33 seconds remain until impact.

To fire my incineration cannon at full power, I need 5 seconds to charge it.

But the target is already dangerously close.

Additionally, if I do happen to take it out, what then?

The meteor may break apart and still cause a disaster.

Will my weapon be powerful enough to stop it?

Even metal -like, countless missiles had no effect.

First off, be calm.

I see you've lost composure, but your mind at rest. You're far too young to be

worried about failure.

When your back's up against the wall, you must take action.

Overthinking won't change things. The best course is to muddle through.

Muddling through is the best course?

He is right.

If the outcome will not change either way, then how can I just die

without giving my all?

I will no longer think about failure repercussion.

I will just pour everything I have into one shot!

Damn it, it's not working.

Hold on. I think I see the meteor being pushed back.

Really? Nope, it was just my imagination.

You fool!

Do this.

This will be my grave.

Only nine more seconds.

Leave now, Bang, or you will die.

Old man, take care of Genos.

Who are you? Who sent you?

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

Matra!

You're not... gonna fall... on my town!

Unbelievable! Oh no!

It's falling!

It's not just this building.

The destruction from the splintered meteor is spreading throughout the

city.

I guess that takes care of that.

Look at this.

If only the Hero Association had called you to help instead of me, Master.

If you had been assigned to work with Metal Knight, all the damage caused

have easily been minimized.

But you said that Metal Knight guy wasn't interested in helping at all,

you?

So stop worrying about it.

I think we kept the damage to a minimum.

Since no one died, we should just call it a win.

He is right.

Master's punch greatly lessened the Meteor's momentum and destructive power.

No,

I should not mention it to him.

By the way...

Do you think what happened moved us up in the ranking?

Yes, in fact, it did.

I progressed from rank 17 to 16.

Metal Knight moved up from rank 7 to 6.

Master, you shot from class C rank 342 up to rank 5.

Number 5?! From 342 to 5?! Whoa, what the hell?! That's crazy!

Well, honestly, your performance was worthy of class A, or even class S.

I mean, the threat level to this event was Dragon.

Yeah? If there had been no damage, I am sure you would be at Class S, Rank 5.

Uh -huh.

Smashing the meteor alone would earn a jump from Class C to Class A.

But I think the Hero Association must have assumed that Metal Knight and I

played a big role in the tide of events that occurred.

By the way, they always report threat levels as Demon or Tiger or whatever.

Does all that really mean anything?

It does.

Tiger, a crisis -threatening massive loss of life.

Demon, a crisis -threatening to halt the functioning of an entire city or its

destruction. Dragon, a crisis -threatening the destruction of multiple

God, a crisis -threatening human extinction.

Wow, I had no idea.

I believe that heroes normally take these threat levels into consideration

deciding whether or not to respond to a call.

But I guess such things do not matter to you.

Well, of course they don't.

If heroes run away, who's left to help?

Um, what are you doing?

I must record your words of wisdom.

Well, anyway, it wasn't much for such a huge jump in rankings.

Right.

I'll be out for a bit.

You are going out, Master?

Hold on, I will come with you.

You stay here.

If something heroic happens, you'll get all the credit again.

This place is a total wreck.

Oh. My favorite supermarket got smashed.

And the crappy apartment building I got kicked out of is... just fine. Damn.

Hey! Huh?

No good cheating, bastard!

Uh, who might you be?

You know damn well who I am, Tanktop Tiger!

Hey, brother!

It's that guy I told you about!

Seriously, who is this guy?

Did I hear you call me, little bro?

Brother, the hero known as Tanktop Black Hole is here!

So it's you, the fraud who takes credit for work done by class S heroes to jump

the ranking!

What the...

Nobody could move up the ranks to number five so quickly without cheating, you

cheater! Huh?

So what do you guys want?

What? Don't you know?

We came here to beat you up so bad you'll never be able to - Hang on,

bro.

That plan's not gonna work.

The bastard won't learn from that kind of lesson.

Let's make him really pay for this.

By using the most brutal method there is.

Was it you?!

Are you the jerk -off responsible for destroying this city?

I get it. There are tons of people in this city who are totally pissed at him.

You're unbelievable.

How can you even show your face around here?

Smart play, brother.

He's gonna use their anger.

Do you feel nothing at the sight of this devastation?

To complete and break his spirit!

Look at you gloating, thinking you've actually saved these people.

Why else would you be walking around here so shamelessly? Thanks to your

-up, these citizens have nowhere to go. Their homes have been destroyed.

If you were going to fail this hard, why'd you even butt in? The other heroes

would have done a way better job without your help.

And yet you still want to play hero, even after causing such a disaster?

Look at this place.

All this destruction is your doing, you jerk.

Yeah, that's right.

You! All this is your fault!

They took the bait!

Hey, do you hear that? The heart -wrenching cry of someone who lost his

Look at them all! Victims of your thoughtless actions!

You should be ashamed of yourselves!

That's right!

Yeah, you tell him!

Haven't you even thought to take responsibility?

Yes, we... You're inhuman!

You're no hero!

Give it up!

Give it up!

Give it up! Give it

up!

Got him. His pride should be shattered to pieces by now.

That's what he gets for cheating.

The idiot.

So this is mob mentality, huh? I'd sure hate to be on the wrong side of this.

Give it up!

Give it up! Give it up! Give it up! Give it up!

Without a shadow of a doubt, you saved the city.

Yet look how the city treats you.

Reality can be so ugly.

You're strong. The strongest man I've ever seen.

That's why I refrain from saying anything.

I don't want to influence you.

I'd hate to see you rotting away into oblivion in this industry.

Unfortunately, resigning may be your best option.

Time to finish him off.

Hey, look, you guys. He's getting ready to fight.

Huh? What are you talking about? No way.

Seriously? You're going to take out your frustration on these people here just

like you destroyed their city?

Do you just kill everyone you don't like? I won't let you do that.

We, the tank top brothers, won't stand by while you resort to violence.

If you're the hero you say you are, then fight us both fair and square.

So they're out to crush a rookie and perform a publicity stunt at the same

are they?

I'd say they've gotten a little greedy.

No wonder they can't rise above Class B.

I, Tanktop Tiger, who fights like a true tiger, and... Tanktop Black Hole, who

can crush them all with a grip strength of 2 ,800 PSI! We will punish all who

stray from the path of a hero! Now prepare for pain!

Damn it!

You're dead!

I give up! I give up! You're crushing my hand!

Wait, really?

You're kidding, right?

Please let go! I give up for real! I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry for lying about you!

Nope, you weren't lying.

I'm the one who smashed that big meteor!

Anyone with a complaint, let's hear it!

Speak up!

Because of what you did, my brand new car... You shut your damn mouth!

Why would I give a crap about how you're put out?

Tell it to the meteor, not me, jackass!

Listen up!

I don't do this, you don't think, for admiration or approval or anything like

that! I do it because I want to, understand?

So if you want to blame me, go ahead, you baldies!

But you're the one who's bald.

What did you say?! Master.

Oh, hey, Genos, what's going on?

Give me just a minute.

These guys are saying I'm... We must go home, Master.

Oh. You think we should?

Damn it. That guy's face is burned into my brain.

I'll never be able to forget him.

Master? Listen.

I want you to know I have never met anyone as amazing as you.

What brought that on? You're creeping me out.

Even if the public does not appreciate you or what you have done, I will still

follow you.

You don't have to butter me up like that.

You know

there's some amazing hero in Class C right now.

Wait, Class C? The guy who says he smashed the meteor, right? That's just a

rumor. Going after weak guys and then calling yourself a hero?

Guess it just goes to show you can't really count on any of them.

Hello there. My name is Bofor.

You may know me better as the famous hero Metal Knight.

Next time on One Punch Man, Episode 8, The Deep Sea King.

Oh. The king of the sea, huh?

Pretty cocky. I wonder what he's like.
