Original subtitles

That’s what’s going on here?

We’re asking criminals for help?

Has the Association approved this?

It has!

Right now, a crisis has begun for mankind that we cannot overcome

unless we unite as one.

Our current heroes:

390 Class C’s,

101 Class B’s,

38 Class A’s,

and 17 from Class S,

are clearly not enough!

No one expects you to work for free. We will duly compensate you...

for every monster you defeat!

What a crock! That’s a complete waste of cash.

You can’t count on trash like this when things go south.

And you’re so high and mighty?

I’ve killed more people than you’ve met.

Wanna try me?

These wimps...

...have no heart!

B‐But‐

Well now, look at this!

She’s good‐her prophecy’s spot on.

She knew a God‐level threat like no one had ever seen was coming.

That old meathead’s right.

All these nobodies put together couldn’t take me down.

Hah?

Who are you?

Name’s Garou.

I’ve busted tons of martial arts dojos

and you could say I’ve got a thing for monsters.

Now what’s the hold up?

All of you, come at me.

Let’s find out who’s strongest.

You see, that’s what I came for!

Stop this foolishness.

Foolishness?

We don’t need you. Get lost.

That how you treat a guest, Mister Big Shot of Justice?

Hell, you’ve made up my mind.

To each and every coward here I’m gonna mete out some evil.

A little slaughter party!

You three, there’s a job for you.

Toss him out.

With pleasure.

Well, gramps? You forget to put some “heart” behind your punch?

With or without that bullcrap, the strong...

...are strong!

Old fart!

Whoa! Not bad!

Yeah! That’s how you do it!

Huh?

What’re you worms cheering about?

You’re gonna die, too.

What’d he say?!

You’re supposed to be on our side!

No!

Heroes are always late to the party,

while monsters take the initiative.

They appear suddenly, out of the blue.

Listen up. You’re on the humans’ side. I’m with the monsters.

A human calling himself a monster?

Foolish scum!

I’ll burn your body to ash!

These little tricks liven things up,

but once you see through ‘em, they’re ugly.

He just...!

This is central tower, 7th floor multipurpose hall!

Send every hero in the facility, stat!

All of them!

Taking on several Class S at once might be bit much right now.

Well, that should be enough for “Garou the Monster’s” spectacular debut.

Today was my declaration of war.

In six months, I’ll be even stronger.

Then I come back in through the front door.

Till then.

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!

Orders understood?

‐ Yes! ‐ Yes!

CLASS B, RANK 2 ‐ EYELASHES CLASS B, RANK 3 ‐ WILD MONKEY ‐ Yes! ‐ Yes!

And if the target shows the slightest resistance?

We physically punish him to the point that he never behaves brashly again!

Very good.

‐ Thank you, Miss Blizzard! ‐ Thank you, Miss Blizzard!

THE HUMAN MONSTER

Master Saitama, your rank has risen to Class B, rank 7. THE HUMAN MONSTER

I have also risen to Class S, rank 14. THE HUMAN MONSTER

All I did was defeat monsters I bumped into. I’ve gone up that much?

It is because nowadays monsters appear almost daily.

You defeat monsters, but do not report it to the Association.

The fact that your rank is increasing despite that

means witnesses are reporting your work for you.

In other words, your identity as a hero

is gradually becoming known to the citizenry, Master.

Before long, fan clubs for you might spring up.

What? No way.

Even you, a Class S, don’t have a fan club.

A fan club for me does exist.

Seriously?

High‐speed object detected!

That is not human speed.

A monster?

Ooh, an item.

Master appears preoccupied.

Guess I will go...

I will be able to test out my new upgrades.

Show yourself!

A human?

What do you want?

Get Saitama out here.

I obtained information saying he lives here.

Are you a friend of Master Saitama’s?

We’ve met somewhere before...

I am Speed‐o’‐Sound Sonic, Saitama’s rival.

Today is the day I settle the score.

Now, out of my way.

Speed‐o’‐Sound Sonic!

So it’s you, the pervert.

You dare call yourself Master’s rival? Shameless!

One more step and you will be eliminated.

Always trailing Saitama around like shit on a goldfish...

You will be “eliminated.”

20 MINUTES LATER Oh crap. I overwrote King’s save data.

And after I brought it home without asking...

It’ll probably be fine.

No, it won’t.

Aw man.

Class B, rank 7 hero Saitama!

Come out here!

Class B, rank 1 Hellish Blizzard would like a word.

Oh, I’ve already got a subscription to the newspaper.

We are not salesmen!

We’re heroes who outrank you!

How do you do, new hero Saitama.

I am Hellish Blizzard...

Perhaps you’ve heard of me?

Not even once. Who are you?

She is the Class B, rank 1 hero!

Oh, I see. Keep up the good work!

So?

Bastard sure is cocky...

I doubt you can take a hint, so I’ll be clear.

All who ascend to Class B first pay their respects to Hellish Blizzard.

It’s the custom.

Pay respects?

Yo. I am Saitama.

Howja do?

Well, that’ll do.

Now, are you aware that there are various factions

in the hero business?

Factions?

In this industry, if you aren’t part of a group,

you don’t survive.

I don’t get it.

I’m saying it’s impossible to raise your rank alone.

Why not?

Obstacles in your way.

Like what?

Like rivals.

I don’t really understand...

But anyway, I’m kinda busy‐

I’m not done talking!

Align yourself with me.

If you do, I’ll ensure you never drop out of the top of Class B.

Huh?

Ah!

What you’re saying is,

if I refuse, you’ll stand in my way?

Do you make threats like this to every Class B?

Like a gang leader?

I only make offers to heroes who catch my eye.

Are you afraid that I’ll take your rank 1 spot?

Don’t worry about it.

I’ll make Class A soon enough.

Come to think of it, why haven’t you moved on to Class A?

Hurry up and give me your answer.

Obviously the answer is no.

There shouldn’t be a pecking order among heroes!

Eyelashes! Wild Monkey!

Rough him up so bad he never works as a hero again!

You won’t survive like this,

Blizzard.

So you’re trying to push me aside.

Is this...

...telekinesis?

Exactly.

You don’t seem surprised.

Are you gonna fight me with rocks and stuff?

Better not.

Think you can mock me?

You’ll regret it.

I’ll kill you so bad, you’ll won’t be able to die.

Hellstorm!

Flesh peels away, bones crack and rupture...

The cruelty and brutality break your will in an instant.

It’s your own doing, though.

You deserve it for thinking you can surpass me!

No one is better than me!

All my enemies‐

You’re too sensitive for the top‐rank.

...will be crushed!

You don’t get what it means to be a hero.

The world is full of super‐strong, bad people.

Standing up to them is what heroes do.

Even if you’ve gotta do it alone.

Someone like you, who gathers the weak to herself

so she can feel strong, can’t understand.

It’ll come back to hurt you.

Factions?

Newb crushing?

Rankings?

Who’d care about them?!

Show heroes some respect, poseur!

Shut up! What would you know about me?!

What...happened?

Oww!

My hunt for a rat...

...has lead me back to Master’s apartment.

That’s Genos, a Class S...

What’s he doing here?

Master Saitama, I apologize for kicking up dust near your home.

This is a little more than “dust!”

I caught a glimpse of Sonic just now.

What were the two of you doing?

You have connections with Class S heroes?

Huh? You mean Genos?

I am Master Saitama’s disciple.

Disciple? A Class S, to a Class B?

You are Class B, rank 1 Hellish Blizzard.

I see.

You have targeted Master Saitama as your latest newcomer to “crush.”

And now you are near death from fighting him, correct?

No, she got caught up in your attack.

Is that so? Then I apologize‐

Exploding Shuriken!

‐ A monster?! ‐ Not really.

I’m busy, so get on home.

You could throw 100 more and I would still be unscathed.

Tough talk, but you haven’t even hit me,

Puppet‐man.

Saitama!

Watch me!

After I turn your disciple into scrap, you’re next!

Such intense malice...

And even just standing there,

I sense his extraordinary combat ability...

This man is dangerous!

Master, this stalker’s persistence is an affront.

I will rid the world of his existence.

No way a slug like you could get rid of me.

Sure you still want to fight me when that’s all you’ve got?

When did I show you all I have got?

You lose, fool.

Accelerate.

He’s gotten sort of faster since we sparred.

Oh.

Maybe he got an upgrade?

I can’t see a thing.

Why does he bother going around behind me?

Does this child think he’s faster than me?

I picked some lint from your hair.

You little‐!

Dropped your guard, did you, Sonic?

Machinegun Blows!

He dodged?

Wait!

You’re hopeless.

Such confidence, yet your punches meet only air. How’s it feel?

This master technique uses special footwork

and my super‐fast movement to create after‐images. It’s called...

Fourfold Funeral!

Now die.

Scatterflash Slash!

I cannot follow his movement.

So I will lay waste to the entire area!

Incineration Cannons, maximum intensity!

It’s over!

I won?

No, he dropped before I slashed him...

Saitama...

Trying to save your disciple?

You’re too soft.

I don’t need my whole neighborhood exploded.

Besides, the two of you have no reason to fight.

Genos...

Were you built for petty fights like this?

And Sonic, I thought you were after me.

Since you won’t leave it alone, I’ll take you seriously this once.

Come at me.

I’ve been waiting for this moment.

And to kill you, I’ve perfected the ultimate technique!

Okay, let’s see it.

Ultimate Master Technique!

Tenfold Funeral!

Ten clone images?

Though a joke, he must have trained hard!

His combat skills are clearly Class S level.

Class B Saitama doesn’t stand a chance.

Even so...

Why is it that when I face you,

I feel as if I’m doomed to lose every time?

Until I wipe away this hang up by beating you,

I will never break through my limits!

Killer Move: Serious Series.

Serious Sideways Jumps!

W‐What was that?

I did some sideways jumps, but went too far.

He beat me with shock waves...?

My afterimages were meaningless.

He was faster...

Next time...we...

Is he dead?

I wasn’t trying to kill him.

Such power...

He’s not normal.

I could never make it to number one.

I had intelligence, stamina, street smarts,

and I was born an esper.

I should be standing at the top!

If only it weren’t for her...

My older sister and the world’s most powerful esper,

Tornado.

CLASS S, RANK 2 ‐ TERRIBLE TORNADO

Because of her, I’d never been number one in anything my entire life.

So when I became Class B, Rank 1, I got to thinking...

I’d remain in that position

to control the heroes of Class B and below

and surpass my sister, who only acts independently.

That little... Terrible Tornado is Class S.

Why don’t you aim for Class A, rank 1?

Class A is out of the question.

It’d be no problem climbing the ranks of Class A,

but I could never become rank 1. Never.

Class A, rank 4 Bushi Drill.

Class A, rank 3 Okama Itachi.

Class A, rank 2 Iairon.

CLASS A, RANK 2 ‐ IAIRON CLASS A, RANK 3 ‐ OKAMA ITACHI CLASS A, RANK 4 ‐ BUSHI DRILL

Even these three swordsmen, disciples of the Class S hero Atomic Samurai,

CLASS A, RANK 2 ‐ IAIRON CLASS A, RANK 3 ‐ OKAMA ITACHI CLASS A, RANK 4 ‐ BUSHI DRILL

cannot break into the ranks of Class S.

Why not? Because no one can surpass Class A, rank 1 Amai Mask.

The primitive savage found frozen in an ice floe and revived...

Suppon.

You escaped from the research facility

and accosted those who tried to help you. You are evil.

The Association instructed me to capture you alive,

but I’m not that merciful.

CLASS A, RANK 1 ‐ HANDSOME KAMEN AMAI MASK

Enough!

Amai Mask!

You’re wonderful!

He’s so tough!

This world is rife with unimaginable monsters.

You’re quite a monster yourself,

but not to the level of Amai Mask or my sister.

There’s also King, who they call the strongest man,

and Blast, who stands atop the hero world.

They’re monsters even among monsters.

For us, it’s difficult to advance on our own abilities.

So what’s wrong with banding together?

Nothing, really.

But I don’t think I’ll become one of your underlings.

Because you’re strong?

You’ll never move up the rankings, you know.

Oh well. I tried to get you into my faction.

Yo, Saitama!

Hey, did you take my game home with you?

K‐King?!

Sorry, I did take it.

I knew it. Hand it over.

No, I’m really sorry.

No big deal, as long as you give it back.

I erased your data.

Huh? What’d you say?

Why?

Why is a Class S so happy to see a Class B?

Master does not team up with others.

Does not antagonize anyone.

Ignores rankings.

My bad.

Nah, don’t worry about it.

Oh, the button’s smooshed in.

Yet powerful heroes are drawn to him.

If only I were one of them.

It is because...

...he is strong.

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.

Class S, rank 14 Genos and Class B, rank 7 Saitama.

We are agreed upon their hero names?

‐ No objections! ‐ No objections!

For aggressively attacking numerous monsters with dauntless courage,

Genos’s hero name will be “Demon Cyborg.”

And based on his appearance, Saitama’s name will be...

“Caped Baldy.”

A hero name is something every aspiring hero dreams of.

No doubt these two will be overjoyed to hear theirs.

“Demon Cyborg” and “Caped Baldy.”

They’ll work even harder now!

Two hours of chitchat about some useless nicknames.

while the meeting to deal with Garou ends in 15 minutes?

Damned, good‐for‐nothing optimists!

You mean that crazy fellow who calls himself a monster?

No need to panic, Sitch.

Class S, rank 3 Silverfang is already in pursuit.

We can trust that old man.

If need be, Tornado and Blast are also available.

He’s just a man, Sitch.

He likely has nothing to do with the prophecy.

Damn!

Will that really be enough to deal with Garou?

What the crap... Who the hell are you?!

I’m a Class A hero!

Why’d you attack me?

Class A, rank 9 Tank‐top Vegetarian.

I happened upon you, so you’re my next prey.

But I’m stunned by the lack of challenge.

Brace yourself, then.

You’ll find out what it’s like to throw down with a hero...

Oh, I’m looking forward to it.

Whenever I find one who can battle a monster‐class hero.

THE HUNT BEGINS
