One-Punch Man (ワンパンマン)

Humans!

If you wish not for annihilation, take heed!

I bear a message from the depths!

You will surrender the surface to us, the Clan of the Seafolk!

Thereafter you shall become our nourishment, human scum—

Nice head! Are you related to an octopus by any chance?

I heard it was that same guy again.

What was his name?

I forget, but he's super-strong.

HE TAKES EVERY OPPONENT OUT WITH A SINGLE PUNCH.

BUT PEOPLE SAY HE STEALS OTHERS' CREDIT.

I MEAN, HE'S CLASS C.

Class C?

Never seen him before.

I've got to keep up.

THE DEEP SEA KING

Help! Somebody!

We, the Clan of the Seafolk, now rule the surface!

It is useless to resist!

You'll pay for that, human!

The Class A hero Stinger,

rising in popularity and currently 11th in the rankings, is here to help.

At your service, everyone!

It's Stinger!

We're saved!

Go for it!

Well now…

Anyone who needs a new blowhole drilled into their torso, step right up!

Master…

You have moved up to rank 2 in Class C.

You are on the verge of entering Class B!

Class B, huh?

That means I won't have any more weekly hero quotas, right?

Correct.

Oh, excuse me…

Hello?

City J? It is a bit far.

Are there no competent heroes nearby?

Busy guy…

Master!

The monster you defeated on your way home the other day

called itself one of the "Seafolk," right?

I forget.

Several monsters calling themselves the "Clan of the Seafolk"

have appeared in City J and are attacking anyone in sight.

A Class A hero fighting them all alone and on the brink of defeat.

His extreme fatigue and pain are apparent

A prompt response from the Hero Association

is desperately needed.

Hang on!

The threat level is Tiger.

All citizens are asked to stay out of the area.

You've got spunk, you slimy bastards.

My beloved Bamboo Shoot here

is happy to be battling enemies with some grit for a change.

But it's time to end this.

You can quit your boasting, human!

Your foolish fan club has run off.

But your death will not be easy.

For the taking of our brothers' lives, long will we cause you to suffer.

Four fish to go!

It's a lot easier without an audience!

Sing, Bamboo Shoot!

Gigantic Drill Stinger Quadruple Thrust!

I did it…

I did it!

These monsters were probably a God-level threat…

and I defeated them all by my—

You know, when something's so annoying,

it is a pleasure to watch it die.

How much farther is City J?

We are almost there.

But I am getting no readings.

I will scout ahead.

Once I have confirmed their location, I will let you know.

Oh…hey!

This is an announcement from the Hero Association.

The threat level is Tiger.

All citizens, please stay clear of the area.

CITY A - HERO ASSOCIATION HQ

Was the warning issued?

The request just went out.

We'll need to update it and re-issue.

What do you mean?

Stinger is down.

Mumen Rider here. I'm heading in.

Give me the location.

All lines are busy at this time—

– Where are they? – Hey, best forget it!

Class C heroes can't handle this one.

– Huh? – The word just came down.

Emergency evacuation warning.

The threat level has been raised from Tiger to Demon.

– All residents of City J, – See what I mean?

please evacuate immediately.

Hey!

I repeat. All residents of City J, please evacuate immediately.

Evacuate?

How foolish.

As if I'd allow even one of these apes to escape.

So that's the one that got Stinger…

But he's the last of 'em.

Should I wait for backup?

If it's one-on-one, maybe I can—

That smarts.

Why would you do this?

Dammit, how'd he get behind me?

I was so surprised my voice went all funky.

Plus, my gunpowder-charged lightning kick had zero effect!

I can't win.

Who are you?

I am…

Lightning Max, the hero…

Fight me.

Fight you? Of course.

I'll run for it as soon as—

What happened?

I can't feel my body…

Dammit.

You arrogant…

Lightning Flying Backwards Roundhouse Kick!

Class S hero,

Puri-puri Prisoner.

I escaped from prison… just to see you!

Well, well.

A hero serving time in prison?

I tagged along and was able to escape too.

My thanks.

Prisoner number 4188, Sonic, right?

Surprised I know?

You see, I check up on all the boys who catch my eye.

I'm serving a life sentence because I can't resist attacking beautiful men.

Oh my.

More soldiers come for me?

Goodness!

I feel the strength about to erupt out of him!

Sonic, dear, you hang back.

Class A rank 11, sweet Stinger.

Class A rank 20, Lighting Max.

I fancied them both.

And yet you ruined them!

Now that Genos has passed me, I am the lowest in rank…

but I am still Class S!

I am unlike either of them.

I'll begin at half-power, to gauge how much you can take.

You made me rip the hand-knit sweater my boyfriend made!

I will never, ever forgive you!

A delectable slab of meat, quite prime.

My appetite's up!

Huh?

Oh my…

I felt that…

just a little.

I felt that too…a little.

Puri-puri Prisoner is acting tough, but he's hurting…

So this is what a fight between a demon-level monster

and a Class S hero looks like?

It's almost comical.

Neither one could defeat me.

Dammit… His punch was stronger than I expected.

But I must not lose to him.

I can't have any more of my boys destroyed by this monster…

I have no choice.

I'll have to transform.

Ready…

Transform!

Puri-puri Prisoner Angel Style!

He's naked.

And he's definitely no angel.

Nor is he human.

Nor do I want to watch.

I'm out.

No one has ever seen my Angel Style and lived to tell about it.

All the more reason to leave.

Quite unsightly.

Are those…your last words?

Angel Rush!

Elevated energy levels nearby.

That must be it.

**** it! I have no way to reach Master!

It cannot be helped.

Done with your combo?

I felt that…a little.

Hear me.

The objective of a combination move is to finish your opponent.

Each separate attack must be delivered with intent to kill.

Like this.
