Here he comes...

The man himself!

The crowd’s energy changed...

Why’s that?

No one expected to see this man compete again!

Every person in here is abuzz with excitement!

Suiryu has entered the ring!

His opponent is... Max!

Look at Mr. Popular.

Could he really be so much better than me?

No, not at all.

Remember back, Lighting Max...

This isn’t the one you’re after.

Compared to that monster, this guy’s just a scrub.

Suiryu!

I have to get stronger.

If I fail, I can’t be a hero and protect people.

Sorry it has to be this way,

but I consider you a capable opponent...

...so my new monster‐fighting technique will be tested out on you!

So you’re a pro hero then?

I see.

You train with lofty ideals in mind.

I guess everyone’s got some reason for seeking strength.

Fighters, take your stance.

Begin!

Lightning...

...Bigwheel Double Ax Kick!

The reason I sought strength...

...was so I could live the easy life.

I was stronger. Sorry.

Through the once tranquil town

A thunderous roar peals forth

Watch out! Freak out! Monsters!

Who is going to take the lead

When we destroy the evil ones?

Destruction, confusion... Loosen up!

We know, We are...

HEROES!

(Ah) Why were you

(You) born of evil?

(The answer) If you wish to know

(Is special) I shall tell!

This night the punching fist of glorious justice

Will shatter your fate apart!

(HERO) That word exists for you and you alone.

(Go! Go!) Raise your silent fist to the sky!

(HERO) The apostle bears the weight of solitude

(Go! Go!) For a peace not filled with hatred

He must fight!

THE MONSTER UPRISING

THE MONSTER UPRISING Did you see that, Charanko?

Suiryu’s kick?

I did. Why?

Wait, how’re you so calm?

Oh, I get it. Because he’s such a newb...

A Class A hero defeated by a single kick...

There are more people who are stronger than heroes

than I realized.

Well, it is only natural.

Master Saitama was but a hobbyist under everyone’s radar.

It is to be expected that there would be more like him.

Though I doubt anyone here could rise to Master’s level.

That man there, however, might satisfy Master’s wish

to experience martial arts.

This is...

Ladies and gentlemen,

I see you’re still riled up,

but our next match features Benpats of “The Way of the Cruel”

vs. Snakebite Snek!

The winner will face Suiryu in the second round!

A Class A hero?

You don’t look too tough.

If I can beat Suiryu, who defeated Lightning Max,

it might have a positive effect on my ranking.

Here we go.

Snakebite Fist!

That old man style hasn’t got any tricks left!

Eat knuckles, bottom‐ranked bastard!

I’m not the bottom...

I’m the bottom of Class A!

We have a situation! A group of violent monsters is nearby!

What?

We have to evacuate everyone right away!

Oh crap! I’ll announce it right—!

That won’t be necessary.

Bakuzan?!

Evacuating would only invite panic.

But if the monster attacks the venue...

We have all these martial arts masters here.

Could anywhere be safer?

That’s true...

Don’t worry.

If the monsters get inside the arena, I will slay them.

More monsters?

There have been so many lately.

Now they have come here to City C...

Should I tell Master?

No, I can handle this.

The tournament must go on.

No matter how many there are, I will exterminate them all.

Wasn’t expecting that...

He’s not weak at all...

Snek wins!

I want to believe I rank among the strongest.

But I find the reality repugnant.

The top heroes are out there, up to their necks in monsters.

Incinerate.

It’s Demon Cyborg!

That was awesome!

We’re saved!

I am currently in City C, near the Stadium.

Give me an update.

Monsters have simultaneously appeared in multiple areas.

We have five confirmed in City C alone.

Mr. Demon Cyborg, there’s a monster down that way, too!

And another over there!

‐ I eliminated one. ‐ I came from down that way!

‐ Where are the other four? ‐ Crazy monsters are all over the place!

Understood. We’ll direct you.

Using a combined electrical shock and strike,

BAZUZU VS. BOLTANE Using a combined electrical shock and strike,

VICTOR: BOLTANE Boltane takes the victory!

Gatling’s super fast punches were like a barrage!

Hamukichi is down!

VICTOR: GATLING

This time it’s Dave with a thunderous body press!

VICTOR: DAVE Logy is out!

The referee stops the fight!

Choze sure is tough!

Mentai was simply outclassed!

VICTOR: CHOZE Mentai was simply outclassed!

Rocket Stomp!

There is another monster nearby.

Tell me where it is, or suffer excruciating pain until death.

Your choice.

Next on the card is Jakumen, from Giga Pro Wrestling!

He’s up against Sourface, with his Sourface‐style Kempo!

A battle between newcomers!

Do your best, Sourface!

Shut up, you!

I used to be Master Bang’s number‐two disciple!

He’s pretty huge.

Now, now. I’m stronger...probably.

Remember all that strenuous training!

This guy’s face is...scary.

Give me your face...

Found it.

You will be eliminated.

Oh ho? Somebody famous.

Can I carve off your face too?!

How ya like my blade work?

I baited you into hitting my reinforced skull.

High‐Voltage Fist.

Begone.

He took care of it in no time at all.

Genos really does have the power of a demon...

Demon Cyborg!

The last monster is two klicks to your northwest.

Several heroes have already engaged it.

Can you speak?

When you fight the bastard, don’t take your eyes off him...

He was always behind us...

A Class S hero?

Have you got something against cockroaches too?

I have something against bug monsters in general.

This is the last one...

If I can take him out quickly,

maybe I can still catch Master’s fight.

Getting rid of me is hard.

Jakumen taps out!

Sourface wins with a beautiful choke hold!

The two fighters congratulate one another!

Such beautiful sportsmanship!

Did you win, Sourface?

What?! You didn’t see the match, Charanko?

Your valiant sempai won!

I was in the bathroom.

You’re hopeless.

Wait. Your opponent next match...

Be wary of him.

I’ve seen Bakuzan in action. He’s...

‐ Oh, dang it. ‐ He’s not the type to show mercy,

‐ I undid my belt in the bathroom ‐ even toward inferior opponents.

‐ and I forgot how to tie it again. ‐ Hey!

Did you hear a word I said?!

The next match is Charanko, who advanced by beating Zakkos,

versus two‐time consecutive champion Bakuzan.

His frightening “Dark Hell Killing Jutsu”

has turned many of his matches into pure bloodbaths!

Will his opponent once again be demolished

and hospitalized after a one‐sided battle?

Humph.

All I do is teach lessons to those who don’t belong here.

Listen up.

When martial artists trade blows, it’s not some friendly “sport.”

It’s kill or be killed, life and...

Hey!

Well, this’ll do.

I’m so gonna kill you.

Begin!

Here we go, folks!

How will Charanko fight against the likes of Bakuzan?

Hmmm. His guard’s wide open.

What’s with this fool?

Does he want to fight?

Bakuzan boldly closes in!

Are you...an amateur?

Yeah.

Truth is, this is my first time at this.

Give me a taste of your martial arts.

Fine with me.

I’ll give you the full‐service execution you desire.

Starting with the legs.

My Demon Sweeper Low Kick will shatter your bones

so you never walk again.

Next, your body, starting with my Bear Killer Mid Kick...

...followed by my Carnage Punch.

Both your arms will break, and your major organs will explode.

Finally, your head.

Oh!

My Hell‐Bringin’ Hand Chop will split your skull

and send you straight—

Don’t touch my head!

He’s outside the ring...

Darn it.

I forgot to have the match.

The fight is over!

Call the doctor! Bring the stretcher!

What a bracket buster that was!

Bakuzan, a contender for the championship,

beaten by first‐time fighter, Charanko!

Another single‐hit knockout.

All right. I’ll do that too.

We’ve invited Mr. Saynuthin to tell us about

the monster emergencies occurring in various areas.

Mr. Saynuthin, what are your thoughts

on the simultaneous monster attacks going on right now?

You’re at a loss for words?

Ah, we have some breaking news.

Class A hero Lightning Genji was found collapsed

with severe injuries.

Any comment, sir, on this new development?

It seems we’re all searching for the right words.

Hey!

Pull yourself together!

Ow!

Are you okay, Mohican?

This man’s son should be here with him.

What happened to the child?

Mr. Narinki’s son, Waganma, was kidnapped by monsters.

What?! For what purpose?

Unknown.

But Mr. Narinki represents seven percent

of the Association’s funding.

Losing his trust would be devastating.

Indeed.

The rescue of Waganma is of the utmost priority.

Put every Class A hero in the city on it.

But sir...

Can we allow the monsters’ rampage to go unchecked?

Class S hero Metal Bat was found unconscious and in critical condition.

C’mon! What’s the matter?

You can’t hit me like that!

Tsk...

Cannot track his movements!

Looking for me? Here I am!

It is not just his speed.

On top of his unique gait throwing me off

he’s attacking from the buildings’ blind spots.

No other option.

I did not want to use this, but...

Oh?

You got some special ability you’ve been squirreling away?

Gonna shoot laser beams from your eyes or something?

Originally I opposed installing this component,

but Doctor Kuseno was right.

Hunter‐seeker missiles?

Poison gas?

In situations where I face a superior adversary

I must acknowledge reality if I am to grow.

I sure hope it’s not roach repellent!

W‐What’s this?!

My legs...!

What have you done?!

It’s an ultra‐strong adhesive.

I came prepared to stop even a speedy ninja in his tracks.

But to use this would acknowledge his speed is an issue for me.

What’re you talking about?

No concern of yours.

Incinerate.

He sacrificed his legs to escape?

No matter. It is still fatal.

Better return to the stadium.

I might make Master’s fight.

High‐speed object approaching!

The roach?!

No, something different...

Hey...

You guys...

Don’t fall so easily for the enemy’s tricks.

Your face is so cute when painted with panic.

Unfortunately, these fools are my pets now.

Did that feel good, having your lackeys taken?

Come now, I want to see you resist me more!

Or have you been holding back?

What if I let you join Mistress Super S’s harem of slaves?

It’ll come back to hurt you...

Shut up!

You’ve held up, even after taking on so many.

But how much more can you take?

Time for some real punishment!

That did the trick.

Now you’re mine, body and soul.

And I believe you’re one of those esper sisters, yes?

Your younger sister is the Class S hero Terrible Tornado.

Which means I can use you as bait

to tempt her to come out and play!

She’ll make a far better toy.

Even after all that lash, her mind’s her own.

Such strength of will...

I hate girls like her.

That hurt, bitch!

I thought you’d be the bait to snag your little sister, but forget it!

I’m killing you right now!

My big sister will come, even without bait.

What are these tremors?!

She was closer than I thought.

She felt it when I was in pain.

Here she is.

Explosions?

Something is approaching...

Something frightening.

My sister...

Terrible Tornado!

Super S!

The heroes had a monster of their own...!

‐ This is more serious than I imagined. ‐ Our side...was wiped out...

We need to retreat and regroup...

That’s her.

Sister...!

I’m still fighting this—

You can go home, Blizzard.

I’ll clean up the whole mess.

You people!

Delay her while I escape!

Wait, Tornado!

They’re my team!

Don’t attack them!

I said not to attack...

That was barely an attack.

No, that counts...

And these nobodies aren’t a team,

they’re just burdens.

I don’t know why you still hang around with that Class B club.

Now look! The monster got away!

Why’d I start chit‐chatting with you?

There are other monsters to destroy.

Let the nobodies know, will you?

In real emergencies,

if they don’t evacuate they’re just in the way.

I mustn’t doubt myself

so I’ve tried to keep it out of my mind,

but I can’t.

It’s bothering me again.

Wanna eat humans!

Wanna eat human flesh!

That’s far enough!

Now that I, Snakebite Snek, have arrived

you won’t lay a finger on anyone!

Looking back, I once shone brighter than anyone.

The pride of being one of the few real heroes

with the power to protect people filled my spirit.

But then, gradually, reality set in.

There were others who, try as I might, I could never defeat.

Even among the nameless masses,

there were others far stronger than myself.

Are professional heroes really necessary?

Recently, I’ve been having doubts.

If I didn’t exist...

If the Hero Association didn’t exist...

Would there be someone who would defeat the monsters in our place?

At the very least,

there seems no need to protect this man.

I liked Max from earlier. He was nice and aggressive.

Says the guy who’s been on his heels

and won’t fight back?

I was just checking out how skilled you are.

Class A heroes make a lot of money, I hear.

If your level is all it takes, it might be worth my while.

Just kidding. I want money, not a job!

How’d you get to be strong?

Why is a guy like you, who has no real purpose, so strong?

Just talented, maybe?

Everything about you disgusts me.

Back when I trained, all I did was keep my master company.

I haven’t even practiced in years.

But how’d you get to be a hero?

I mean, with that level of ability.

W‐What?!

More and more strong monsters are appearing.

Even performing at your best, you won’t make any difference.

Heroes or no heroes,

those who are going to survive will survive.

Monsters or no monsters,

natural selection will weed out the weak.

It’s the way things are.

Are you suggesting we ignore

the people being attacked by monsters?

‐ What’s going on? ‐ Is this part of the show?

‐ Monsters! ‐ How’d they get in the hospital?!

We’ll hold them off here!

Everyone head to the roof!

Whatever happens, we’ll survive.

What’s a monster doing at a prison?

If you came for the Boss, he broke out to bash you bastards!

Puri‐puri Prisoner is not here?

Doesn’t matter.

Who do you mean by “we”?

The strong, of course.

What?

Understand now?

They sound excited.

We painted different dreams into our hearts

With the struggles that we faced in the past

Will the future call or will it slip away?

There’s just so much that we don’t know.

But one day, we’ll make peace within ourselves

We’ll be able to forgive everything in our past

We tell ourselves to forget, but nothing seems to fade

That’s what we are to each other.

If you hold out your hand You’ll see the bonds that show us

That kindness is the true strength

They’re something that I need To keep on moving on

So I promise that I’ll come back

I promise that I’ll come back to you.

Report, Gyoro‐Gyoro.

Have my monsters created chaos?

Oh, yes indeed. Some casualties were incurred,

but overall, the advantage belongs to us.

The Hero Association is in a panic.

And what of Goketsu?

He’s heading to the venue

where the martial artists have gathered.

Our confirmed victories include Demon Cyborg,

Metal Bat,

and Metal Knight.

Yet our greatest weapons still await their turn.

You may be assured of the Monster Association’s overwhelming victory,

O Monster King Orochi!

THE CLASS S HEROES
