Saitama meets other heroes, such as the martial artist Bang, the esper Blizzard, and King, a hero considered the strongest man on Earth.

The heroes fight the invaders outside Boros's ship, while Saitama boards the ship and fights Boros, who notoriously survives more than one punch from Saitama before being defeated. Immediately after, an alien named Boros invades the planet. The Hero Association calls all the top heroes to a meeting, informing them that the seer Shibabawa had a vision that the world is in danger before dying. Saitama and Genos join the Hero Association, but due to scoring low on the written entry exam, Saitama is placed at a low-entry rank, and his feats remain unnoticed and unappreciated by the public. Saitama eventually becomes a reluctant mentor to Genos, a cyborg seeking revenge against another cyborg who killed his family and destroyed his hometown. He has trained himself to the point of being able to defeat any enemy with a single punch, but his unmatched strength has left him with an overwhelming sense of boredom. Saitama, an unassociated hero, hails from City Z and performs heroic deeds as a hobby. In response, the millionaire Agoni creates the Hero Association, which employs superheroes to fight evil. On a supercontinent Earth, powerful monsters and villains have been wreaking havoc in the cities.

It tells the story of Saitama, a superhero who can defeat any opponent with a single punch but seeks to find a worthy opponent after growing bored by a lack of challenge due to his overwhelming strength. They prepare to fight as Bang remembers the first time he meet Garou.One-Punch Man ( Japanese: ワンパンマン, Hepburn: Wanpanman) is a Japanese superhero franchise created by the artist ONE.

Before Genos can attack Garou again, Bang arrives. Genos nearly manages to kill Garou, who escapes proclaiming that he “as the monster that no one can defeat.” Genos responds that Saitama will defeat any monster because he “strong.” Garou basically responds “who’s that.” A group of monsters arrive to attack Genos. Genos arrives and begins to fight with Garou. Of course Garou doesn’t have any trouble blocking all the bullets and defeats Death Gatling.

Gatling uses his final move despite the Garou telling him about Tareo. Regardless, Garou defeats Chain Toad, Shooter, Gun Gun, Glasses, Stinger and Wildhorn. In addition to that if they defeat higher level monsters like Garou, wouldn’t they become S Class heroes? Seems like they will only ever continue the be trapped in this cycle, only becoming higher ranked leaving lower ranked to be ignored. However, lower ranked heroes fighting higher level villains can help them gain attention but if they fail it can be held against them. Does that mean lower heroes don’t matter? Does that mean they never contribute to the betterment of society? The answer is clearly no. How do lower heroes gain respect when they aren’t effective against the most dangers monster? The biggest dangers get the most attention and the heroes that defeat them are the strongest and therefore will get the most attention in return. This dynamic seems to permeate throughout the series. The Hero Association only really pays attention to the S Class Heroes and ignores the rest. Death Gatling explains why they want to defeat Garou.
