One-Punch Man (ワンパンマン)

Fist of Flowing Water, Crushed Rock!

Those moves are the perfect offense and defense alike.

They may be using the same style, but the difference in skill is obvious.

This battle's already been decided.

What the hell? The old man never fights this fiercely...

Sh-Shit... I'm losing consciousness...

Actually... I'm probably going to die.

Why are you moving so strangely?

Where did you learn that?

You're like a beast.

Not yet...

I can still figure this out if I use him...

Not happening.

I took care of the monsters.

Bang, all that's left is Garo.

Cleaning Up the Disciple's Mess

I sent in some monsters in order to take Garo alive,

but the Demon Cyborg...

I didn't expect him to be that strong.

And even Silverfang is here.

This will make it hard to snatch him.

But if I go back empty-handed, Orochi might eat me next.

I need Garo to survive this on his own somehow,

but I'm not sure things could be any worse.

Say, Big Bro, if you were him,

would you still be able to stand after being hurt that badly?

If I were 60 years younger, I could've held on... probably.

Come on! Just a little more!

Let's go, Bang!

Damn it... Old Man Bang

is taking advantage of the fact that his former top pupil is weakened.

Not to mention the other geezer is the master of the Fist of Whirling Wind,

Slashing Steel, Bomb!

Have they no shame?

Even if I were to beg for my life in front of these two,

the Demon Cyborg wouldn't let me go.

So if I want to get through this dire situation,

I need to kill all three of them.

That's impossible, though.

Know the pain that my top pupil Charanko felt, Garo!

Let's play heroes!

You wanna play, too, don't you, Garo?

Yeah, let's play!

Huh? Sure.

Bum-ba-bom! Justice Man is here!

Hup!

Justice Man Kick!

That's dangerous!

Huh?

That's mean!

In that case...

You can be the monster.

Huh?

You be the monster.

The hell is this? Am I seeing my life flash before my eyes?

This is a pretty shitty memory.

This guy is...

Now you get to be the monster.

That's right. Tatsu.

He was the popular kid in class.

Wait, what's going on?

Garo's going crazy.

We were just playing, but then Garo suddenly got mad.

We were playing heroes, and Garo got super mad at Tatsu.

What the heck? What's his problem?

Poor Tatsu.

So, what made you so angry?

Well...

I heard you got angry while playing heroes. Is that true?

That's because Tatsu always...

You can't even tell the difference between real life and make-believe?

That's not it.

I always have to play the monster and—

You're the one who lost control!

How are you going to take responsibility for this?!

It's not that I didn't like playing the monster...

Did I just not like Tatsu playing the hero?

No, that wasn't the problem.

I just learned how unbelievably unfair things were while we were playing heroes.

Playing heroes is just

supposed to be kids reenacting what they see on a kids' show. It's make-believe.

It shouldn't matter who plays what role.

Tatsu was the most popular kid in class.

On the other hand, I was a loner who basically kept to himself.

The one to play the hero is decided when everyone agrees on who it should be.

Of course I'd never get that chance.

Justice Man Cross Chop!

Why the heck are you dodging?

Guys, hold on to Garo for me.

You got it.

Huh?

This should be obvious, but there's no scenario where the monster actually wins.

I would always lose.

Justice Man Kick!

I've defeated the monster Garo Poop Man!

The system in which the popular kid everyone loves

beats the crap out of the weak, loner kid who's hated by everyone...

I can't take it anymore!

Fight me, Tatsu!

Huh? What the heck are you talking about?

I don't want to play the monster anymore!

If I win, promise me that you won't mess with me anymore!

Guys, hold on to Garo for me.

That's not fair! Let me go!

I want to fight Tatsu fair and square!

The others said you suddenly

went crazy when you were all just playing around.

That's not true.

Tatsu's popular, so everyone's making me out to be the bad guy.

That's not true! You did a bad thing!

Go apologize to everyone right now!

Justice, my ass. Evil, my ass.

In the end, they were just going to kill me based on popular opinion.

It's unfair. It's unforgivable.

I'm angry!

I just want to teach them all a lesson!

I want them to feel a blow from the weak!

Screw justice and evil!

It's over, Garo!

Like hell... it's over!

What?

Garo...

Bang! Above you!

A monster?

Genos!

Bang! He's a monster now!

I'm going to blast that thing along with Garo! Got it?

Hear me! I'm taking Garo!

I'm leaving the rest to you!

Spiral Incineration Cannon!

Centichoro!

What in the world is that?!

That thing's actually alive?!

Oh, no! We need to get to them!

To think it didn't even suffer a scratch

after being hit by Genos' attack...

That thing's going to be a pain in the ass.

Threat Level: Dragon

Giant Monstrous Insect: Centichoro

What the hell do you guys think you're doing, interfering like that?

Just shut up and let Centichoro handle this.

He's a catastrophe that devours all.

I can't help but admire his desire to destroy everything.

I see that your endgame is as weak as ever, hero hunter.

When you defeat them, you need to make sure they aren't breathing anymore.

All those heroes on the ground over there are still alive.

But don't worry. Centichoro will end everything.

Quit interfering!

They're my prey!

Come on, now. Stop squirming.

Damn it! Put me down!

You won't get away with this!

Why are you so angry?

It's your fault for not finishing them off.
