Original subtitles

I heard your call for help.

I'm here to answer it.

You fought hard on your own.

Let me take care of the rat.

I know that head.

Thank you.

More like a puny run -out to make a name for himself.

Pathetic. You have no idea how a class you are, Chromedome.

You're nothing but a weight.

Hey, hold up. Do I know you, or... Shut your face!

This time around, Bakuzan the Monster will be the victor. My death blows are

about to rain down upon you.

Lord of Darkness Hellkiller, Demon Sweeper Loken!

You guys, too, huh?

I can't believe you're still standing.

Impressive. But after that blow, you've seen the unimaginable difference in our

strength. Bear Killer Menace!

If he's protecting the injured, he'll be slaughtered. Hey!

You've got to protect yourself!

Cardiff Bounce!

I'll give you one last chance to apologize for our match.

Party pooper.

Must have gotten a shock or something.

Time to end this. I'll get rid of all of you in one fell swoop.

Helping and hands up!

Nope, I just don't remember him.

No idea who that was.

Meh.

Man, that must have really sucked for you.

After winning the tournament?

Well... Maybe next time there'll be less monsters around.

Uh, yeah.

And thanks for saving me and everything.

Tell me, who are you? I mean, really.

I'm Saitama.

I'm a hero.

Saitama. So, that means Chironko was just an alias, wasn't it?

Ugh, crap.

I don't get it. What were you doing here?

Some undercover mission for the Hero Association?

No. I wanted to experience martial arts.

And bag that prize money.

There's this guy calling himself a hero hunter.

They say he's a martial arts master.

So it kind of piqued my interest, you know? I see.

You were looking for ways to counter him.

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that was the reason.

I just happened upon an entry ticket. And to be completely honest... I

was bored.

You've got to be kidding me.

Still, it's thanks to you I'm alive.

Sorry I didn't get here sooner.

Wait, Saitama!

Huh? Please, you shouldn't go out there.

There's this group raising hell. They call themselves the Monster Association

and they're bad news.

For real?

Yeah. And what's worse is that they have the ability to transform humans into

monsters, too.

That guy you just beat was one of them. Remember Bakuzan? Your second match?

Oh, so that's who he was.

I mean, it's hard for me to remember every opponent I punch.

The point is... It's dangerous out there right now. I think it's best if we lay

low. Goketsu's out there. We should avoid him.

Goketsu? Another monster that used to be human.

I threw everything I had at him, but it didn't do a damn thing.

That strength, it was horrific.

When my repairs are done, I must return at once, even if he caught me off guard.

A monster that can beat me with one punch.

Must not be allowed to survive.

I need to assemble the Class S heroes with Master Saitama.

Then strike together.

So this guy's pretty strong, huh? Even with the most meticulous preparation.

I'm not sure if anyone can beat him.

I see.

So where did this monster go?

Um, through that wall.

Ah, so all that noise earlier was him, huh?

I'll check it out. No! Weren't you listening to me?

I told you, he's unstoppable!

I heard you.

No prob. You still don't get it, do you?

Goketsu was once a famous and exceptional martial artist.

He's dangerous.

You'll be killed for sure.

Whoa, a martial arts master, huh?

Perfect. It might help my indigestion.

Hey,

you're injured. Take it easy.

I'm not letting go. I won't let you throw away your life when I owe you

I just couldn't stop him.

I think I get it now.

I finally understand what it means to be a true hero.

And now he's going to throw his life away. What a waste.

I almost destined to save so many more people.

Oh,

by

the way, there's something I forgot to mention earlier.

That thing about me lying to get into the tournament.

So was Goketsu tough to take down?

Well, when they only take one punch, it's kind of hard to compare.

There's something else I want to ask you.

What's up?

I don't know if I could overcome my fear, but I'd like to try.

And if I did, do you think I could become a hero?

I don't know.

But, you know, if I became one, then I think maybe anybody can.

It's natural to be afraid at the start.

I mean, before I got too strong, I was scared too.

A hero who's too strong?

Not bad.

Not bad.

Oh, can I ask you another question, Saitama?

Sure.

Could I be your disciple?

Absolutely not.

Damn it. His whole body covered in spikes.

How do I fight him?

Hmm? I thank you for your words of encouragement, gentlemen.

You'll get kisses of gratitude later. But for now, I must insist that you

No use.

He can't hear a word. So, does he have to fight completely naked, or...? You

fresh -faced boy, so bravely cheering me on like this.

Your love will not be forgotten!

That's it.

That's the answer.

I can accept the pain with love so deep.

There will be nothing left to fear.

Angel, hug.

He keeps staring at us. Bloody, they're naked.

Yeah, hello. You've got Puri Puri.

What?

It broke into my comfy cozy home and stole my honeys.

And where is this monster now?

They're gone?

Yeah. They all left together about 30 minutes ago.

So they arrived as a group, went crazy, and then left all at once?

What were they up to?

Damn it. How did I miss such a huge disaster?

The other heroes were out here fighting.

Man, what was I thinking?

Crushing monsters is my job, right?

Wait a second.

I don't fight monsters just because I wanted a job.

That's not it at all.

I might have forgotten something important.

Like the reason I became a hero in the first place.

I mean, I started out just having fun.

But since joining the Hero Association, I've been bored out of my mind.

That hero hunter guy got me curious again.

That's the reason I entered the martial arts tournament.

But against Suidiu and the others, even against a monster who was a master

martial artist, I didn't really feel anything.

I didn't get anything out of it.

Saitama, hey.

Hey, King.

You sure it's safe to be out here?

Well, I heard all those alarms going off.

But it seems to be pretty quiet now.

What's wrong?

You look kind of bummed.

I, uh, I got a lot on my mind.

I get it. But hey, you're still young.

Don't go giving up yet.

Thanks, man.

I mean, there's still a decent chance it might grow back. Plus, uh, there are

treatments... Whoa, whoa, wait a sec. That's not what I'm talking about.

It's more of a big picture thing.

Ah, gotcha. But being down isn't like you. You're always so strong.

Well, I'm not going to be getting any stronger.

I know that much.

What? I'm saying I've become too strong.

No matter who I fight, I don't feel anything.

I gain nothing from it.

There's nothing I can learn from anyone, so what's the point?

I don't know, man. This is just me talking, but isn't having that much

kind of awesome?

Maybe, but not having any room to learn and grow means there's no way for me to

enjoy the process of learning and growing.

No matter how many enemies I face, or monsters I defeat, I'm just bored out of

my mind.

I never thought being a hero could be so lonesome.

So you feel lonely, Saitama?

Guess I do. There's a ballroom dance school near the station you could check

if you want.

Why would I do that? If you're lonely, you could make some new friends.

No, that's not exactly what I'm talking about.

What then?

It's kind of hard to explain.

I'm not interested.

And I don't have much time these days.

Well, once things settle down, how about taking a trip for a change of pace?

A trip?

Hmm. There's not really anywhere I want to go.

Good grief, dude.

You say you're bored and you're looking for some excitement, but then you won't

take on any new challenges or anything.

There was a time I felt that way, too.

Listen to me.

Life is simply a journey to nowhere.

If you want a change of scenery... You need to get there your own way.

This is starting to sound hokey.

It seems to me you've got this all wrong. You think being strong means

reached your destination.

I doubt the path to becoming a hero comes to an end with such a cut -and

finish line.

Are you trying to lecture me? It's not like you're some veteran hero.

It's inherently wrong to go into a fight seeking satisfaction from the fight

itself. Battling with great courage, working to benefit society.

Isn't that what it means to be a hero?

What's with the philosophy?

If that ideal is your goal, you've just begun.

There's a long road to walk before you become the strongest hero.

That's true.

Which means that the pursuit of that ideal still remains.

Within you, Saitama, there is a great deal of unrealized potential.

If that's true, to say that you've already reached the limit of your

well, that starts to sound shallow and arrogant now, doesn't it?

That's deep.

What does it actually take to be the ultimate hero?

Is it an unwavering sense of justice?

The courage to face any hardship?

Until you found the answer to that question, how can you say you feel

Those are my thoughts on it anyway.

Plus, I read it in a manga.

Wow, you just blew my mind.

The ultimate hero.

Maybe I should be thinking about what that truly means.

Honestly, that might make me even more bored. If you're really that bored, then

wanna come over and play some games?

Nah, that's totally not what I'm feeling right now.

I'm numb and nothing's gonna change that.

Come on, it'll take your mind off things, dude. Sometimes you wanna lose,

So I'll let you lose.

Haha, you can't trick me.

Besides, it's not like I'd get upset just because I lost some game.

Yep, I feel totally emptied out right now.

Yeah? Tell you what.

Just to keep things fair, how about I play with one finger from each hand?

That's it, jerk -off! I'm gonna crush your ass this time!

I never thought he'd be the one to beat me.

His speed and power were exceptional.

It was far more than I bargained for.

I was lucky just to get away.

Martial arts designed for human opponents were a poor match against his

-legged fighting style.

That was a good lesson.

This is the freaking best.

I know I can become so much stronger.

Huh? Is that... Yeah, it's him.

I won't get a second chance.

My body can handle it. The pain is gone.

In fact, I'm so stoked I'm drowning in power.

King, prepare to be hunted.

What will his first move be?

I can't wait to find out.

Here it goes. Get ready to die!

That dude was trying to attack you. You know him? Nope. Never

seen that guy before.

Fighting monsters is bad enough. Now we gotta fight hoodlums too?

Give me a break.

That reminds me. Have you heard about everything going on?

What are you talking about?

I don't know all the details, but monsters are rampaging like crazy.

And there's some guy out there calling himself a hero hunter?

It's been pretty busy lately.

Sounds like it.

That hero hunter dude does have me kind of curious.

Yeah?

As far as I know, there's never been a human who calls himself a monster

Reminds me of my early days when I was calling myself a hero and doing my own

thing.

So I'm hoping he lives up to his claim.

He might even be stronger than me, you know?

Might be.

Hope you run into him soon.

Show yourself.

Who are you?

Two of them.

You fools came and attacked me. So I assume you're ready to die.

Attack? That sounds so unfriendly.

Wouldn't you agree?

Be the sound Sonic? Last surviving member of the Final 44.

Wait, you're from the village?

We're of the Golden 37.

I am Tempest Wind.

I am Hellfire Flame.

What's your business with me?

To recruit you.

Interested in doing something big? How big are you talking?

Listen, we're planning on taking over this little planet.

We'll conquer it as monsters who transcend mankind.

There's a new group for monsters only. It's called the Monster Association.

Tempest Wind and I are members.

We plan on flipping this entire world on its head.

Sounds like a bunch of horseshit to me.

Where would I fit into all this?

We want to be certain that we can take down Flashy Flash.

You could help.

Sure I could.

But I'm not interested in helping or your stupid game. Get lost.

Unless you prefer to die.

Let's give him a taste of what we can do.

We said monster association, remember?

That's because... We are monsters.

You can be a monster, too.

It is better than any enhancement drug or mere implant.

The thought of getting stronger tempts you, doesn't it? This is a monster cell.

All you have to do to transform is ingest it.

Here, you can have this one.

The Monster Association awaits.

No matter how hard I train...

I see no path that ends in me beating him.

I'd pay any price to defeat Saitama, but now that price is giving up my

humanity. When I lost to him, I felt as if there were no difference between life

and death, and I have no attachments to my human self.

Saitama, I've decided to be a monster.

A few monsters remain in some areas.

Though we can't lift the evacuation order just yet. It has been one hell of

day. The toughest of those remaining is Marshal Gorilla. He seems obsessed with

his own threat level, and declares he'll keep fighting until he's raised to

demon. City W, huh?

Have the heroes nearby surround the city.

No need.

Don't bother sending in a bunch of fresh meat. It's a waste of resources.

Zombie Man!

Just leave everything to me.

Roger.

Time to get to work.

I'm reading the situation right. These attacks were masterminded by something

organized.

He's not paying attention.

Perhaps I could track him back to his lair.

Well,

there's a dirty -looking fellow.

Drat. He's going after a citizen.

Are you a pro -hero, big guy?

Sorry? Holy crap, a gorilla!

Yeah, and you're a gorilla too.

What are you anyway?

Some freelance monster?

What the hell are you talking about?

I'm just out running errands and buying groceries.

You're out shopping?

What kind of monster pretends to live like a human? You're a disgrace to

monsters.

I'm not sure what I should say here.

I see you as a potential enemy, so you have to die!

Take your weird issues elsewhere.

Changing target.

I'm following him instead.

We've been searching all day, but in the end, all we accomplished was disposing

of some monsters. Though I do understand that's your day job, of course.

A question for you. In the midst of all this panic and chaos, is it possible

some hero or monster got to Garo?

No, that's not what happened, brother.

Garo is many things, but weak is not one of them.

I trained him.

That's why it's my responsibility to defeat him.

Garo, do you know what it means to become a monster?

If you're going down into darkness, at least let it be at my hands.

It seems the sun will be setting soon.

We've received a vital report from Drive Knight. It concerns this monster

association. They are our new enemy.

While their objectives are uncertain, they're clearly positioning themselves

our rivals, implementing a method for turning humans into monsters.

They're leaders known as the Monster King, Orochi. We've also received the

approximate location of their lair. It's City Z's abandoned ghost town.

The area that was taken by the monsters.

This monster association went through a lot of trouble to kidnap an executive's

son. Perhaps it means they want to negotiate.

Yes. It's their way of saying don't try anything stupid.

Perhaps they're hoping they can talk their way out of extermination.

Anything's possible.

There's a thought. If the Ghost Town monsters formed some sort of coalition,

that would add up. The kidnapping, the riots, the chaos.

Everything that happened could have been their way of staging a protest.

These aren't random acts.

These monsters possess the intellect and will to act as a group.

I feel the likelihood that they will reach out to us is extremely high.

That's not a bad strategy.

We could end this.

Approach them as a ruse, then wipe them out.

Let's hear what they have to say first.

Our primary objective remains the safe return of the hostage.

Correct. Esteemed advisor Narinki is by far one of our top donors.

If anything happened to his son, he would surely cut us off.

The boy must be rescued.

We've received a message from the Monster Association.

We've received a message from the Monster Association. What is it? Tell

I think something's wrong with him. We've received a message from the

Association. We've received a message.

I said we've received a message from the Monster Association.

I'm sure it was the right call to cook this thing.

Common sense says it's not safe to eat meat like this while it's still raw.

I'll try not to think about it.

I'm coming for you, Saitama.

Watch your back.
