Damn it!
Did you really think you could escape?
So persistent!
Who the hell are you anyway?
Me?
I'm just a guy who's a hero for fun.
What kind of hero looks like that?
You...
You're going to pay for mocking me.
Do you have all of my money yet, mister?
Not yet...
What will you do? The due date's tomorrow, you know.
You do know what will happen tomorrow...
...if you don't have my money ready, right?
Damn it!
I did it again.
ROAD TO HERO

The Tailor Shop
Could you please give me just a little bit-
Are you busy ?
No, we're done talking anyways.
See ya, old man.
See you tomorrow then.
Sorry about that, old man.
Don't worry about it.
Probably you don't have any money either.
Sort of...
Lately, there haven't been many clients.
If I don't do anything, my skills will just go rusty.
But seriously, it seems like you got yourself into another tough fight again.
Definitely a strong enemy, I guess?
Yeah.
He was pretty strong.
It was a really close fight.
I see.
But, I won't be able to fix this by today.
So, I'll have to keep it for a bit.
Oh, I'll be counting on you then.
Oh yeah! There's something I want to show you.
You always got that jacket ripped, right?
So, I wanted to make this for you using a special material.
Heros are all about the transformation, you know?
Ohh!
A superhero suit?
Exactly!
A suit that won't tear apart from any kind of attacks, an invincible hero suit!
Man, I don't want this!
The idea came from the montsuki Hakama.
He has named it?!
montsuki Hakama
What do you think?
How should I put it?
I see that he included his own tastes...
Nah, thanks for the offer anyway.
You don't need to worry about the money.
This has been my childhood dream.
Crap...
I don't really know...
But, what should I say to him?
Could it be that...
...you already asked a different tailor?
Hmm? Eh, umm...
Then it can't be helped ...
No, it's not that!
It's just that, I thought I'll decide about it, after I made a name for myself as a hero.
He's always helped me... There is no way I can refuse him.
Look...
... do you know why I keep wearing the same suit?
It's because I don't want to forget about my origin.
Until I have made a name for myself, I want to stay focused by wearing that same jacket.
I see, so that's how it is.
Nice! It's going good.
That is why I felt that it is too early for me to take the name of "Montsuki Hakama".
Is that so...?
When I'm a professional hero, I'll ask you for it myself.
You're right... right now, you only do this for a hobby.
The Tailor Shop
Anyway, I'll come back tomorrow.
See you.
Ah, one more thing!
I know you do this for a hobby, but try not to get too deep into this "hero" work.
Lately things around here haven't been peaceful at all.
Really ?
Just look around this shopping district.
Many of them were closed, right?
Most of them closed down since business were really bad.
He told me he still doesn't have the money.
I see...
In that case, that store will be mine too.
But boss, why are you so particular on that shopping district?
Even if you had it, you wouldn't earn much from there.
I do not know why too.
But, it's not that I really need that money.
Just an impulse, I guess?
An impulse that is calling me to destroy whatever I can.
Boss, I got the papers for that candy shop located at third avenue.
Nice, good work.
I feel so good.
I feel that it's close...
Just a little more...
For Sale
What the tailor old man said was true indeed.
A lot more stores have gone out of business as compared to before.
And now that I think about it, the crimes in this area are really frequent.
On streets,
in a house,
and that store earlier today.
In just one week, I have captured 3 delinquents.
Is this zone really no longer safe?
What you see here is the evolution of a rhinoceros beetle.
Wow, it finally starts to take the form of a Rhinoceros beetle, professor.
Didn't I tell you that it looks totally different when it is in its larva form?
Stages of evolution
Oh, is that so?
Didn't knew about that.
Who is it at this hour?
What a bother...
Do you have the rent?
You haven't paid the rent for 3 month, you know that, right?
Uh... I really don't have any money...
I am also really busy these days.
I don't know if you're a hero or what...
...but I'm sure there's a way you can make money with that.
Don't say something like that.
Anyway, I am going to kick you out of here if you still can't pay the rent.
You better be prepared for it.
Crap.
The Tailor Shop
You're still young and strong, why don't you just do some part time job?
I guess I have to...
Stop complaining. The rent there is really cheap, right?
Here you go.
Your jacket.
Oh, thanks!
Indeed, you look more like a freeloader then a hero in that jacket.
Be more careful wearing it.
I won't be able to help you after today..
Today's the day, old man.
Alright then, I'll take this as payment.
See ya later!
Who was that guy just now?
This shop is closing down.
I have mortgaged this shop for a loan.
They're from the Niya Niya Loans group.
I took a loan from them due to some cash-flow problem this shop is having.
I'm maxed out just by repaying their unreasonably high interest rate.
So... you were cheated?
In any case...
...the shop closes today.
Why don't you go to the police for help?
It's useless to ask the police for help.
After all, they are living in that apartment where even the police can't do a thing to them.
I'm sure you might've heard of it.
Nope, what is it?
Huh?
You haven't?
Go straight along this shopping district...
...and you'll see a sign that says "Danger ahead"
Turn left at the junction where you saw that sign board...
...keep walking along and you will see a supermarket.
Get it?
Yeah.
That place is at the end of the narrow street alongside that supermarket.
Listen,
Don't ever go near that apartment.
That apartment, now the resting den of some evil organisation, is also known as...
...the house of crime.
Just as I thought, this is the place where I live.
So that is why the rental fee is so slow.
You do know what will happen if you can't repay your debt, right?
Hey! Do you know which unit is Niya Niya Loan located ?
Huh, need a loan?
No, it's not for that. I have business with them.
What the -? Then look for it yourself.
I'm busy right now, asshole!
Oye, didn't you hear what I just said?!
I guess it is here since it looks really dubious.
Huh? Who is it?
Did you come to pay the rent?
That was close.
Come to think of it, I don't really know my neighbours well.
Niya Niya Loan, you said?
Yeah.
I heard they operate from within these apartments.
Well, not from this room.
Hey, you!
I don't know whom you're after.
But, be careful which room you visit.
Not everyone staying in this apartment is as polite as me.
O-Okay.
I see
Time to check the other side.
No one's home?
Wait.
Who are you?
F

I'm a tenant here.
Tenant? Of this apartment?
Yeah.
I live on the other side,
I'm a hero for fun.
Is that so? Work hard then.
Wait, did you say hero?
Crap, It's bad, Big bro.
I think he realized that we're counterfeiting.
I see.
Bastard, you want to round us up, so you could get the reward, right?
Reward?
I don't know if you're a hero or what,
but I'm sure there's a way you can make money with that.
I see.
So there's a reward!
No doubt about it, I can see it in his eyes that he wants to catch us.
Fine...
Try it, if you can!
Huh? That guy...
What?
That guy...
...is kind of giving me the creeps.
I've gotta warn the boss!
Oh, its you. Have you bought the caramel rolls?
Who is that guy? Police?
No, but he beat up a bunch of our guys!
What did you say?
I guess he's here.
M o n e y
Is it you?
That dangerous guy that is beating our guys up?
You... looked pretty screwed up to me.
Are you really the boss of Niya Niya Loan group?
So what if I am?
It's about the tailor shop.
I've come to ask that you return the store papers to its owner.
I will be in trouble if there's no one to fix my clothes.
Don't fuck with me, kid!
Do you think I'm such an idiot as to returning it to you just because you asked for it?
I see that you're pretty confident in your strength.
Do you actually think that brute force can resolve everything?
There's no need for that sort of thing.
What do you mean by that ?
I think I pretty much get it.
I'll go and talk to them about this now.
Hey, did you hear what I just said?
Yeah. That's why I said I'll bring back your papers.
After all, I will be in problem if your shop closes down.
Hey, that's not why I brought it up.
Don't worry, it's okay.
I know what I'm doing.
Look at this.
Listen.
If you have overpaid feel free to contact us
Taking into consideration on the percentage of interest that is dictated by the law...
That tailor's debt has already been paid.
Moreover, if it surpasses the legitimate percentage, it's called "overpayment".
In that case, you will need to return the "overpayment" back to the tailor shop.
Besides, there's no basis in the law that says you can just take his store.
So please, give back the papers.
You beat up all of my men,
just to tell me this shit?
Huh?
Oh, no.
That was just an accident.
Interesting, isn't it?
Not bad... NOT BAD at all!
Gyuu-ahh!
I have a bad feeling about this...
I really should have stopped him.
But, they're not the kind of people who will understand these things.
Well, I'll see how things goes then.
But what if something bad happens to you?
Like I said, I'll see how things go.
Don't worry.
Even though it's just for a hobby, I am still a hero.
See ya!
Don't do anything reckless.
You haven't heard about it?
Only those chosen ones like me, who take evil to a whole new level, can transform into monsters.
Finally, the moment has come-gyuuh!
Are you speechless from fear?
I see.
Is this it? This is the first time I've seen it.
There is no way you can defeat me, who have transformed into...
...the sea monster, "The Goldfish of Darkness"!
No, that's not a transformation.
Gyuu-?
You're just a pervert.
I learned yesterday.
Just like this, the larva that comes out of the egg becomes a pupa until adulthood.
Stages of evolution
We call this...
Did you say... pervert ?
Word pun: Pervert (変態) and Evolution (変態)
Yes, scientifically speaking.
Me? The Goldfish of Darkness??
But you already looks like a pervert before this.
And when a pervert gets even more perverted...
You just become a true pervert.
A true pervert?
In other words...
A total pervert.
Don't fuck with me-gyu!
I'm a badass villian, not a pervert!!
Looks like you're not half bad!
Same to you.
I think I've reached my limit.
It's not for nothing that I am a Rank A bounty.
Rank A?
What's with that look?
Are you ready to pay up your rent?
I don't have money.
But I can give you these guys.
Money laundering, underwear theft, and counterfeiting.
In any case, they all have high bounties.
I have called the police already.
That should be enough to pay the rent.
You, you've done something really bad...
My main source of income.
If I wanted to call the police, I'd have done so already, ASSHOLE!
That old lady
really kicked me out.
I'm glad you're well, Saitama-kun.
I see.
Well, I'm sorry for that.
Oh, don't worry about it.
I don't really want to stay in that kind of apartment.
What will you do now?
Well, for starters I have to find a new place to stay.
This is what I have heard about...
At the border of City Z is a "Ghost Town" without any residents since the security there is really bad.
All the resident there ran away from that place.
It is said that all the necessity needed for living are all left functional.
I see.
That's a good thing.
Saitama-kun!
Thank you for protecting the store.
Yeah, you can count on me.
I'm still closing the store.
I guess it is about time for me to retire due to old age.
I see.
In that case, it can't be helped.
I know it won't change much,
Of course, you don't have to wear it if you don't want to.
But, I just want you to have this.
This is...
I have finally completed the most satisfying work of mine.
Now that I think about it,
I was looking for a reason to retire anyway.
This is my final piece of work.
A masterpiece of mine.
I can already see a real hero in you.
You inspired me to make this suit.
Won't this make me look like a pervert?
And that was how it came to be.
For a while I was embarrassed to wear it, so I wore my tracksuit over it...
But eventually I got used to it.
Anyway, it's something important to me.
I see!
In short, you are troubled because you wanted to discard this hero suit...
...that is stained with the soya sauce but you can't since this hero suit brings back memories., right?
What?
However, Sensei...
I think its about time you changed this suit.
If so, I'd like to give one to you as a present.
Sensei
I don't want it!
Seriously, were you even listening to me?
