is that bald guy pretty much took care of it all by himself,

Interviewer #1: The top-ranking class-c hero
is given the opportunity and option
to be promoted to class b.
However, if you wish to remain in class c,
that's fine as well.
Interviewer #2: How about it, Mr. saitama?
Do you want to move up?
Although, if you do,
you'll be ranked at the very bottom again.
Saitama: Well, either way is fine,
but i suppose moving up would be pretty cool.
That way, there'll be no more of the weekly quota stuff.
And besides that, i can't stick to class c forever
with genos in class s.

the one who finished off the deep sea king. Hmm.
Executive #2: What do you think? Some say he's a fraud.
Executive #1: He set new overall records in the fitness exam,
so his physical ability is far from fraudulent.
Executive #3: Interesting.
Well, if you want to believe the rumor mill,
he cheated on the written exams, too.
Worker: Rumors are just rumors.
It doesn't make much sense
to have any doubts about him at this point.
The situation before us is that he's wanting to move up.
For the time being, why not let him do so?
If he's for real, he'll make it in class b.

And if he's a fake, he'll soon regret making that choice.

Worker: When the time comes, we'll know what to do.
Amai mask: Promotion to class b?
Heh. You really interrupted my filming for this?
It's not something that needs my attention.
Supervisor: I understand,
but this is a verdict for the executive--
amai mask: Listen to me.
I don't want to be involved in every decision,
just the ones regarding heroes class a and above,
since they have an impact on society.
As a hero in the same class, if they're inadequate,
it ends up hurting my image, too,
especially this last incident.
It was absolutely appalling.
Surely you must agree?
Supervisor: Speaking of social impact,
the hero now wanting to move up the ranks
is the very same man who finished off the deep sea king.
