COUNTERATTACK SIGNAL

What the—?

Why was I asleep?

Ow...ow, ow, oww!

Wait now. What happened to me?

I lost to a monster.

Yet, I'm still alive.

What's going on?

And what happened to that kid?

That ugly brat. Did they let him go?

Or don't tell me, they...

It doesn't matter.

I need to stop my bleeding.

Actually...it's already stopped.

Hm? My clothes are stuck to the wounds and won't come off.

They're completely fused together.

Now then...

The signal from Dig-Here Doggie No.3 broke off.

He found it. Which means we're close.

I should be able to pinpoint their base soon.

Are we finally zeroing in on their stronghold, Child Emperor?

Mr. Sekingal.

Tornado's been pressuring us to hurry.

Have the Class-S heroes gathered?

Not all of them.

Tank-Top Master and Metal Bat are in the hospital.

Drive Knight is missing.

Watchdog Man and Metal Knight have refused to participate.

Not having everyone on board this time really hurts.

Zombieman is on his way here.

We still haven't been able to get in touch with...

Silverfang, Demon Cyborg, and King.

We plan to add all three to the team.

Class-S heroes are going to be crucial to this operation.

Wait a second.

Actually, I did a bit of research on Genos the Demon Cyborg.

He lives in City Z's ghost town, right?

The Monster Association's hideout is somewhere in the ghost town, right?

Even the town he was born in has disappeared from the map.

Doesn't that sound suspicious?

There are lots of heroes with unknown origins or secrets.

Why mention this now?

We still know very little about the enemy organization.

The number and strength of the monsters remain unknown.

If there's a traitor among us

our plans and infiltration routes could be compromised.

We might all be wiped out if things go wrong.

Genos is a newcomer and hasn't proven himself to gain our full trust.

Don't trust anyone around you.

Are you worried he might betray us?

If you have any doubts just ask him directly.

No, we shouldn't share any information with him

and he should be entirely excluded from this operation.

We can't afford any more risk factors.

But from a strategic standpoint...

No, you're right.

This is a rescue and sweep mission we cannot afford to fail.

Demon Cyborg is off the team.

One more thing...

I think it's odd that Silverfang let Garou slip away.

He must have held back because of his attachment to his former disciple.

It's been confirmed that Garou is allied with the Monster Association.

Unfortunately, we need to remove Silverfang as well.

Understood.

But you need King, right?

Of course.

King is one of our key fighters.

The hideout should be located soon. Let everyone know.

You're removing Silverfang and Demon Cyborg from the operation?

Yes. But instead, I'll gather capable heroes from Class A to C

and have them support Class S.

They may lack in combat ability, but it's better than nothing.

If they can support Class S even slightly that’s good enough.

Don't treat them like they're disposable!

They could die!

I don't expect everyone who goes in to make it out alive.

But that's a risk they accepted when they chose the path of a pro hero.

The life of a hostage is at stake.

Some sacrifices are inevitable.

Sekingal...Have you thought about the consequences?

If we lose more heroes to injury or death we will be short-handed...

Sitch, I remember that you were

in charge of the Earthdoom Prophecy Emergency Response Team.

So I understand where you're coming from.

You want us to be prepared for a possible worst-case scenario, right?

But I have a different take on this.

The Monster Association itself is

what the "Earthdoom" prophecy was warning us about.

If left unchecked, they will eventually destroy humanity.

If that's the case, this is a critical moment for the Hero Association.

If we overcome this, we'll no longer live in fear of that cursed prophecy.

The future doesn't matter.

In any case, I am the team leader of the hostage rescue mission.

Don't contact Silverfang and the others behind my back. Got that?

BUBBLE BUBBLE

SIMMERING

It's ready.

SWISH

SWISH SWISH SWISH

FWIP

SNATCH

Why are you taking Master's meat, Hellish Blizzard?

Demon Cyborg Genos...

Are you satisfied being his sidekick?

Stop it. Hot pots are meant to be shared and enjoyed together.

Hey, don't take all the tofu!

Hang on a sec.

You know, there's something that's bugging me.

Why are you guys acting like it’s totally fine to eat someone else's hot pot?

The napa cabbage is all gone. Go home already.

That's right. Go home.

It's cramped in here.

That includes you.

Silverfang I can understand.

But a random old man has no business hanging out with this group.

If you want to join the Blizzard Bunch

you need to show me you're worth it.

SIZZLE

Huh? The Blizzard Bunch?

You want me to annihilate you?

Wait, Genos! Don't break anything!

Calm down, Genos.

- This isn't like you. - Right.

I feel as though I've gotten to see a new side of you.

That makes me happy.

You can forget about fighting, share a hot pot, and speak openly here.

You're lucky to have good friends, Genos.

Doctor...

This woman is not my friend.

"This woman"? How rude.

R-Really?

But you're both heroes from the same organization, right?

Yes, but that's totally irrelevant.

I see.

Wow... He's never disagreed with me so adamantly.

I just saw another side of him.

You said your name is Kuseno, right?

You’ve got impressive skills crafting weapons for Demon Cyborg.

We could hire you to develop weapons for the Blizzard Bunch.

Hey... If you insult Dr. Kuseno any more, I'll incinerate you.

Now, now. It's quite all right.

Saitama.

I wanted to ask you about your thoughts on how to train disciples.

Huh? My thoughts? I don't really have any in particular.

Where did I go wrong?

Our dojo valued strength more than anything else.

Maybe that was wrong?

Depends on the person.

Hey Bang, don't start a long story while Master Saitama is eating.

Hey, Bang's brother.

Stop hoarding the napa cabbage and give some to Master.

Hey, Kuseno. Can you pass me the tea?

Hey, don't tell the doctor what to do.

Kuseno, old man. Could you bring some good meat next time, too?

Stop making rude requests...

I'm so sorry, Master!

You should rest, Genos.

Hard to relax with so many people here.

Once you're done eating just go home, seriously.

You too, King.

Huh? How come you're lying down?

Hey, don't fall asleep here!

Hey, hey!

He's dead.

An intruder... In passage A-8...

It's not a machine. It's a living being.

A monster who wants to join us?

Or perhaps a scout from the Hero Association?

No, but to come here all alone...

That's far too reckless.

The final battle is approaching, so I must verify this carefully.

Listen up.

Looks like something's here again. Go greet it.

If it's a monster, bring it here.

If it's anything else, do whatever you want with them.

Hey, wake up already! It's morning.

Hey!

Hm? What am I doing here?

You passed out fighting over meat.

I thought you were a goner.

Where are the others?

I kicked them out after dinner.

Genos is getting repairs.

I-I see. I'm the only one who stayed over?

Sorry, Saitama.

Don't worry about it.

On your way out, take the trash to the dump.

It's in the residential area, so it's kinda far from here.

They're collecting plastic bottles today.

Wow, I slept really well.

What a peaceful and refreshing morning

with no noise from people or cars.

A ghost town...

They say the high monster appearance rate drove people away

but surprisingly, I haven't run into any at all.

Maybe Saitama living here actually drove the monsters away.

They say if you keep a cat in a house infested with rats

the rats will disappear.

But...sometimes the rats are just hiding in the attic.

Maybe monsters are gathering underground in nests instead...

Yuck... Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.

Hm? Hey, did you just...

...come from the other side of the fence?

No, you must be imagining things!

There, all done.

It's amazing that people still go to work even in times like this.

Hm? Someone's in front of my house.

Oh! He's home!

Thank god. We've been waiting for you, King!

We couldn't get in touch with you, so we searched everywhere!

Oh, they're from the Association.

Oh, sorry. My transmitter was broken during a fight.

Where were you last night?

Umm, City Z.

Those stains on your clothes!

Bodily fluids and flesh from monsters?

- This is from the hot pot... - You must've been in

- Did I have any? - an intense battle all night long.

King, you must be exhausted having fought without sleep or rest

but we need you to accompany us to the Headquarters at once!

Captain Tongara said he'd contact me every two hours

but I haven't heard anything from the unit all night.

I assembled the best possible team

and equipped them with the finest weapons.

Did the operation fail?

Were they wiped out?

Could they really be defeated so easily?

Even if the heroes head there, won't they meet the same fate?

Mr. Narinki.

Looks like you haven't slept all night.

Why don't you go lie down in the break room?

Sekingal, my elite unit may have been wiped out.

This is terrifying.

I have a bad feeling about this.

At this rate, we'll be crushed completely.

Don't worry.

I've told you before that we will rescue your son.

Please trust the Hero Association.

Do we really have a chance of winning?

Metal Bat was defeated even though he is a Class-S hero.

I have no reason to trust you.

You're not just putting on a brave front, are you?

Please...my son...

You're his only hope.

I'll give you as much money as you want.

Please! I just want to see Waganma alive and well.

For my son...!

I'll give everything I own to the Hero Association!!

That won't be necessary.

Who said that?

Only those weaker than money are swayed by it.

People like that are useless in a battle against monsters.

Exactly!

What's needed on the battlefield is true courage to face evil.

Isn't that what you're trying to say, Flashy Flash?

You're wrong. Mindset is secondary.

All that matters is strength.

So just leave everything to me.

Protecting the child is the top priority. That's why we must act as a team.

If it were just a matter of taking them down like usual

I'd have charged in with my disciples long ago.

Storming the monster hideout with this team...

Simple and straightforward. I like it.

I've been wanting to smash an organization like this.

I'll give everything I've got to bring back that boy and my beloved inmates!

I swear it on this hand-knit sweater!

I've located their hideout.

All we need is King and the backup team.

We go in at noon.

We'll rescue the boy and defeat the Monster Association.

Don't worry about a thing and get some sleep.

By the time you wake up, it'll all be over, old man.

Hey now! Mr. Narinki is the Hero Association's top advisor, you know!

The Class-S heroes are going to have a brief strategy meeting, right?

Let's get going.

I think I'll go lie down a bit...

I'm leaving it all to you, Sekingal.

Yes, you can count on me!

I'll give each of you a map of the ghost town.

I've confirmed multiple entry points

so we'll split up and enter simultaneously.

I'll explain route assignments now.

We finally gathered everyone, but we're gonna split up to fight?

The monsters are doing the same.

Staying in one group risks total wipeout.

I'll give each of you a transmitter to track our positions.

We need to prioritize the hostage's safety

so we need a short, decisive battle.

As long as even one of us reaches the hostage, that's enough.

The backup members will wait aboveground.

If any monsters try to escape from underground

they'll be there to finish them off.

Oh, like the Whack-A-Mole game.

We can't have a bunch of monsters

spilling into the residential areas again.

About the backup members...

We've been recruiting every reasonably capable fighter available.

They should be able to handle monsters

up to threat-level Tiger without issue.

Don't tell me you called Blizzard.

Hm? Oh yeah, I did reach out to her.

Hellish Blizzard is a valuable asset.

She's already on her way here.

Absolutely not. Don't put my little sister in danger.

If you drag her into this battle I won't forgive you.

With me here, that's more than enough. Got it?

- But... - What is your answer?

Uh, understood.

I'll call her and tell her to stand down.

Good morning.

Have you been behaving? I've come to get you.

Just Tareo can step outside. Let's go.

What?! Why is he the only one getting released? Not fair!

Released? No, no.

He's coming to my room. So we can play.

Well, you heard him. You'd better go.

N-No way! I don't wanna! Help!

Heroes! Hurry up and save me, heroes!

Um, I hate to tell you, but...

The Hero Association is only trying to rescue that kid over there.

No one even knows you're here.

No hero is ever coming to save you.

Apparently, the monsters who went to check on the intruder never came back.

If they were killed then that means the heroes have arrived?

But we haven't heard any signal to start the fight yet.

According to Gyoro-Gyoro, there's only one intruder.

They're probably not affiliated with the Hero Association.

Look at this mess.

Maybe that thing isn't even human, after all.

So that means the intruder is a monster?

Yeah, it could've been a hot-tempered monster like King the Ripper.

There are plenty of monsters out there who hate the Monster Association.

It'll be a pain if things got chaotic

before the showdown with the Class-S heroes.

Either way, just like Gyoro-Gyoro said we need to deal with them pronto.

By the way, where is King the Ripper?

This is the perfect time for a bloodthirsty psycho.

Well, if he's not here

then he's with the kid he snatched yesterday.

He probably can't hold himself back anymore.

Stop!

Someone... Help me!

Such a cute reaction.

Why? Why are you doing this?

Why? Because I'm a monster.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about this big war of theirs.

I don't really need a new world ruled by monsters.

As long as I can unleash my urge to shred flesh

that's all I need.

Stop...

Killing is my only reason for living.

And right now, I'm obsessed with you.

H-Help!

First, your tongue.

Help...me!!

It's...

You!!

Old dude!

Come on, let's go, you little brat.

MONSTER KING
