One-Punch Man

Orochi is a colossal and ominous-looking humanoid with pink skin and glowing yellow eyes. He has several large spikes pointing upwards above his head and multiple sets of pointy teeth inside his mouth. His shoulders, wrists, and fingers have the appearance of snakes with pointy teeth, with the latter ending in large claws. His knees are snake skulls and his clothing consisted of a large cape connected to a circular, veiny joint in the center of his chest as well a long spiky tail.
During his fight with Garou , it is revealed that his body is actually made up of a multitude of small dragons, similar to how muscles wrap around his body. His horns also grew into a crazed head of "hair," more like tentacles. He unravels his body into a mass of writhing dragons, mouths, and claws, and back again, and in this form his cape transformed into a fiery veil around his torso. He appeared to have great control over his shape in that form, taking on a humanoid form against Garou but climbing up to meet Saitama as a great mass of dragons and fire.
After removing his mask, Orochi's true form is revealed. He has a dark, circular face with large, rounded eyes and several tentacles protruding from his head. His body takes on a long, serpentine shape adorned with numerous dragons across, and he has multiple legs distributed along his centipede-like physique.

Part of Orochi's progression from human to monster. Orochi's normal form Orochi's released form Orochi's true form Orochi's heart Orochi after fusing with Psykos Orochi transforms into a jet

Orochi is a stern and merciless being whose immense power is enough to keep in check hundreds of other monsters in the Monster Association. He does not speak much, mostly because he does not need to, since his partner and creator, Psykos , under the guise of Gyoro Gyoro , did all the talking for him. Although Orochi is the leader of the Monster Association, Psykos is the true person in charge, with Orochi acting like more or less an enforcer of her rule. After years of brainwashing him, Psykos has gained almost complete control over Orochi, to the point that he essentially never defy her commands. However, it is still possible for Orochi to ignore Psykos in very rare cases, as he prioritized the threat of Saitama over his creator's calls for help. [ citation needed ] However, it appears that Orochi has only been using Psykos to promote his own increase of growth through her training and monster sacrifices and has actually been hiding his true power from her, as when Psykos attempts to merge with Orochi, he begins to take control of her and attempts to absorb her in order to increase his own power. [6] Despite this, Psykos manages to regain control over him to an extent, preventing herself from being completely absorbed by Orochi, although he retains a degree of control over this new form, openly stating he would get revenge on Saitama and speaking through Psykos. [7]
Orochi is also much more intelligent than he appears. His laconic nature and beastly appearance caused Garou to underestimate his intelligence, believing him to be a mindless being when in reality he is described as a "fighting genius" by Psykos. He is also one of the few characters in the series who acknowledged Saitama's immense strength and did not disregard him based on his appearance before fighting him, with the others being Carnage Kabuto and Lord Boros . Additionally, upon sensing the mysterious pressure from him and knowing that he had beaten Overgrown Rover, Orochi quickly realized that Saitama is also the one who not only defeated Gouketsu and Elder Centipede but is the one rumored as the "Monster of the Ghost Town," showing his advanced senses and deductive abilities.
While he may have been a monster, Orochi controls his violent urges and didn't outright kill humans immediately if they caught his interest, such as the case with Gouketsu . This is shown when, instead of finishing him off after defeating him, he captured the martial artist and offered him greater power as a monster in exchange for cooperation. He also grew fond of Gouketsu, often asking Psykos about the executive's current situation, showing that he does prefer some monsters over others. [8] [9] He displayed leniency again with Garou , only asking the recruit to kill one hero to prove himself. [10]

Orochi devours Awakened Cockroach

However, he has little to no tolerance for failure from his subordinates, as he ate Awakened Cockroach alive after he failed to kill Genos. [11] On the other hand, he can be convinced to spare subordinates such as Do-S despite their failures, if their usefulness outweighs their failure. [12]
Due to being so powerful and Psykos' brainwashing, his emotions and sense of self are slipping away, very similar to Saitama's problem. [ citation needed ] Though this is later revealed as a ruse as upon meeting Saitama and being aware of the hero's overwhelming strength, he explained that he only pretended to mindlessly obey Gyoro Gyoro and continued to search for a worthy sacrifice. [13] During the fight with Saitama, Orochi believed that the hero is the "worthy sacrifice" and revealed to him that he had discovered a mysterious ancient tablet in an ancient shrine which depicted him and stated that a worthy sacrifice was needed in order to resurrect a god, leading Orochi to believe that it was referring to his resurrection as a god. [13] Upon his revival, Orochi expressed his desire to get revenge on Saitama, showing he has a sense of pride too. [14]
Having been defeated by Saitama, Orochi also showed distress that the altar he believed dedicated to him was being destroyed and dragged himself to it in an attempt to secure it. [13]
After being reduced to gore by Saitama, Orochi had a very one-track mind as he tried to pull himself back together , haphazardly absorbing any monsters who got in his way. He then attacked Psykos, his own creator, in an attempt to absorb her powers for himself. The two end up sharing one mutated body, with both of their consciousnesses coexisting; this is shown when Saitama punches a portion of his biomass and the shock causes Orochi to momentarily override Psykos again.
According to Psykos, during his past life as a human, Orochi was a broken man who was already losing his humanity by the time she met him. This made him a suitable candidate to be the future Monster King. [ citation needed ]


One-Punch Man

Rover is a very large, black, six-eyed dog monster. Its eyes are ruby-colored and seem to have a glow. It has very large fangs and four toes per paw. Its fur is very shaggy and roughed up, especially on the outer part, whereas the inner part of its body presents less hair and shows clearly its muscles. It has no visible ears or a nose.
After the Monster Association incident , in the webcomic, Rover shrinks to the size of a puppy, while in the manga, it is the size of a big dog.

Overgrown Rover after getting shrunk Rover depicted as a reindeer in a colored chapter cover

Rover behaves like a guard dog. It is a diligent and loyal protection animal, who instantly tracked down Garou after the Hero Hunter helped Tareo escape and did not stop pursuing his quarry under any circumstances. However, under intense and traumatic conditioning, it was forced to learn to sit even if the command was given by an enemy.
Rover, however, does not instantly grow hostile toward intruders, as it neither attacked nor followed Garou and Tareo in its initial encounter with the pair, leaving them alone when they backed off slowly. Additionally, Rover does not seem to differentiate between friend or foe when angered, as it attacked and killed a fellow monster, Unihorn after the latter accidentally hit Rover during a fight with Garou.
Rover's canine behavior also means that it can be trained by someone, though they must have enough physical strength to do so. Garou jokingly tells it to sit during their battle before striking it to no effect; however, Saitama did the same thing and successfully conditioned Rover into obeying the command to "sit", which Bang unintentionally exploited later when he rhetorically asked why Rover couldn't simply be quiet and sit down, immediately prompting the Dragon-level threat to obediently sit and stop fighting. It also came to fear Saitama because of this encounter, and disobeyed Orochi's command to attack the Caped Baldy, choosing to flee instead.
After shrinking, Rover shows a far more docile side to itself. The Dragon-level threat shows no hostility when in the presence of Genos and Saitama, not even when both heroes pick it up. In fact, it behaves much like a normal dog, sniffing Saitama's hand when offered without attacking him. It even jumps into the bald hero's arms, licking his face affectionately.

Personification Of A Light Pull Cord had the appearance of a very large, muscular, bald man with weal-like markings on his head, a well-defined jawline and did not appear to have any ears. He wore dark sunglasses, red boxing gloves, and boots. He also sported a green and gold championship belt with the word 'Himo' on it, which is a Japanese word for "Cord", along with the picture of a pull cord and blue shorts. [3]

Personification Of A Light Pull Cord had a very loud and arrogant personality. He claimed to be a Mysterious Being with a disaster level of 'God'. He was also very sadistic, stating that simply punching cars and buildings were not enough to satisfy him and that he needed to punch a human being.


One-Punch Man

Pesky Clown is a stereotypical clown with red face paint over his eyes, nose and mouth with white face paint over the rest of his face.  His teeth are razor sharp.  His sleeves and collar puff out widely. His shirt is patterned in many bow ties with a polka dot pattern on the arms. The monster's pants are tucked into his spiky pointed boots. Pesky Clown carries balloons shaped like animal heads and a large mallet. He increases in size and becomes more monstrous as he gets stronger.  His last form before Sweet Mask defeated him possessed four arms with a massive mouth and eyes located on the torso.  This last form towered over Sweet Mask in the hero's transformed state.

Pesky Clown enjoys attention and is sadistic. However once it was clear he had no chance against Sweet Mask in his transformed state, he begged for mercy, indicating a cowardly side to his personality.


One-Punch Man

Phoenix Man is a tall bird resembling a phoenix, characterized by large green eyes, red and gold feathers, and purple tail feathers.
Following his first resurrection, his costume transforms into a suit of bird-like armor, adopting a more humanoid shape. In this form, he gains an additional pair of wings, armor-like scales covering his body, a large avian eye at the center of his chest, and a helmet shaped like a phoenix's head. His human face becomes visible within the beak of the phoenix, though it remains mostly shrouded in shadow, revealing only his piercing, glowing eyes.
Upon achieving this form, he could also transform into three other modes: his Fire Falcon Mode , which resembles a peregrine falcon ; his Prominence Hawk Mode , which significantly increases his muscle mass and engulfs his entire body in flames, except for his face and the eye on his chest; and his Penguin Mode , where his suit resembles an emperor penguin complete with a bowtie.
After succumbing to the assault from Tickle-Tickle Bug 1 , he transforms into Monster Chick Man appearing as a small chick with his signature face-in-beak look. Shortly after his battle with Child Emperor, he grows significantly in size, returning to his original height while still maintaining the appearance of a small chick.

Phoenix Man is a refined and intelligent monster. As middle management, he is able to speak with both the higher-ups and the grunts of the Monster Association, giving him the perspectives of both a commander and a foot-soldier. He seems to care little for combat compared to some of his subordinates; when Rhino Wrestler asked what he thought of his disaster level, he remarked that he didn't care.
He is one of the few monsters, alongside Gyoro Gyoro , who disapproves of the brutality exhibited by others and prefers to address issues in a civilized manner. He occasionally seeks advice from Gyoro Gyoro and has made strategic suggestions, such as sending reinforcements. Phoenix Man demonstrates a strong sense of judgment and sharp intellect, taking charge during missions and directing Rhino Wrestler , Sludge Jellyfish , and Elder Centipede . He astutely deduced that Metal Knight 's robot was remotely controlled, realizing that engaging it would merely exhaust him and his teammates. He is also quite capable of controlling his monstrous urge to kill, approaching Garou affably on multiple occasions despite his rude attitude.
He was shown to be fearful of Orochi , since he planned to quit the Monster Association in case he failed to capture Garou after sacrificing most of the elite troops of the Monster Association. When he learned of Orochi's past and how he was once a human who went through countless sacrifices and gained immense strength, Phoenix Man wondered if he could become stronger too, imagining himself as the Monster King instead of Orochi, demonstrating an ambition for power.
Despite his apparent professionalism and self-control, Phoenix Man is truly just as unhinged as his comrades. This is especially evident when he gets into combat situations, showing his brutal arrogance and deranged sadism. He reveals his overly-ambitious nature, believing the Monster Association to be a mere stepping stone on his path to become the new king of monsters. He likes to talk big to his opponents, which was the cause of his defeat during his first fight with Child Emperor. After his resurrection power-up, his arrogance goes through the roof, proclaiming himself to be the strongest living being on the planet (implying he believed he had even surpassed Orochi and the executives).
Phoenix Man harbored some form of sympathy or weak spot for children that likely originated from his time as the mascot for a children's show. This is seen when Phoenix Man promised Child Emperor a painless death the first time they meet, and even after being revived and becoming even more arrogant, he still intended to follow through with his promise.
Phoenix Man holds a great deal of respect for powerful individuals who wear costumes. This is one of the reasons why he wanted Child Emperor to join him, since he saw the hero as someone else with a powerful costume, as well as Watchdog Man . Furthermore, he actually attempted to reason with Child Emperor, speaking to him in a very patient, understanding manner to have the hero join his cause, going so far as to bend down, hold the child's hand, and tell Child Emperor he needed his strength. Even after refusing his offer, Phoenix Man still attempted to persuade Child Emperor, and nearly managed to succeed had Saitama and Zombieman not changed the child's mind with their words of support and praise.
After the destruction of the Monster Association, alongside his failure in regaining his former strength, Phoenix Man became more calm and rejoined human society. Admitting to Child Emperor that he enjoyed his current job of being a children crossing guard and states he's no longer a threat to society.
His personality is significantly different in the webcomic. In the webcomic, he was a typical monster with a superiority complex, stating his strength to surpass a disaster level of Demon, and believing the Monster Association to be a step on the path to the top of the world. He is also said to have been sensitive for a bird brain, according to Child Emperor.


One-Punch Man

Piggy Bancon resembled a gigantic, grinning piggy bank (replete with coin slot) with a ribbon around his neck and naked, hairy limbs protruding from cracked holes on his torso. Although he was capable of standing on his hind legs, he appears to have achieved top speed by running on all fours. [2]

Despite his disturbing appearance, Piggy Bancon seemed solely obsessed with having coins inserted into himself, either by forcing his victims to do so, or tackling them to knock loose any spare change. Once satisfied, he fleed immediately and was more concerned with evading pursuit than inflicting violence.

His signature head shape is much longer than the regular Black Sperm clones. His signature element is his platinum shimmer, similar to Golden Sperm's golden color. The platinum shimmer extends over the top half of Platinum Sperm's face, similar to a mask.

Platinum Sperm's full appearance

Platinum Sperm is shown to be an extremely confident individual. He is confident enough to stand up against King without any signs of anxiety, even claiming that he can send the hero's head flying in an instant, showing an arrogant side as well. He is also very vain, describing himself as perfect and flawless.
He appears to have a tactical mind, as seen when he suggested Garou join forces to defeat Flashy Flash . He also seems to have a side to him that mocks his enemies. After demonstrating his superior speed over Flashy Flash's, the latter's specialty, and seeing him lose his calm, Platinum Sperm likens the ninja to Superalloy Darkshine , stating that he too, is the kind of hero who will abandon their duties and try to protect their pride if they encounter such situation.


One-Punch Man

Poison is a young man with light colored hair and dark skin. He wears normal black clothes with his name printed on it and skulls decorating his sleeves and collar.

Poison is a rather blunt person speaking his mind and referring to Sekingar as a burden. At the same time, he is calm and does seem to care about the other heroes, asking if everyone is uninjured. He also appears to accept his limitations as a C-Class hero, and after seeing the energy blast from Brave Giant , accepts the limits of his usefulness and thinks that he might as well go home.

His current appearance


One-Punch Man

Psykos has a curvy figure with long aqua-blue wavy hair, emerald-green eyes and typically wears glasses.
Psykos's meat puppet Gyoro Gyoro appears as an obese slug-like monster with a single eye, no visible facial orifice, and eight arms protruding through its head. It has four main arms, two stubby legs, and three toes on each foot.
During high school, Psykos had braces, which made her mouth puckered. She also wore larger and rounder glasses and had freckles. [6]
After merging with Orochi , her appearance changed abnormally. From her legs up, she still retained her human appearance but her body shone brightly and she seemed to be naked. From her legs down, she had Orochi's entire body attached to her.

Psykos as a high school girl Psykos's appearance in the manga Psykos's manga coloration and her meat puppet, Gyoro Gyoro Psykos after fusing with Orochi

Psykos is as manipulative as she is cunning, often scheming and plotting among the other members of the Monster Association to fulfill her experimental ambitions. [7] For her scientific curiosity, she deceives Rhino Wrestler by sending him against opponents he has no chance of defeating during the heroes' invasion. [8] Additionally, Psykos exhibits arrogance, cruelty, sadism, and volatility.
Mischievous by nature, she enjoys playing sadistic games with the Hero Association staff. [9] Highly calculating, she assesses the compatibility of each battle. [10]
Psykos has a superiority complex, bolstered by her confidence as a powerful esper and the additional power granted to her by " God ". This leads her to belittle Tatsumaki , believing herself destined to become the "ultimate lifeform." [11] She quickly becomes enraged when opposed by those like Tatsumaki and, later, Fubuki. Her grudge against Fubuki is particularly intense due to their shared past, which hints at Psykos having had deeper feelings for Fubuki in their youth. These feelings morphed into rage when Fubuki refused to join her in eliminating humanity and sealed off her powers for a time.
After her capture and defeat, Fubuki explains that something shifted in Psykos, driving her to madness. This change stems from a future Psykos foresaw, leading her to misanthropy and inspiring her to form the Monster Association. Before succumbing to the madness of her vision, she was a clumsy individual who showed great respect for her former friend, Fubuki .
Nevertheless, she is merciless toward her subordinates who fail to meet her expectations, with very few to no real exceptions. [ citation needed ]


One-Punch Man

Puri-Puri Prisoner is a very tall and large muscular man with a stubbly, cleft chin, large lips, and black bushy hair. He has a well-defined jawline and light blue eyes with long eyelashes. He wears a traditional prison jumpsuit with white and blue stripes. He used to wear a white vest with a large pink heart in the center over his prison clothes, but he ripped it during one of his transformations.

Puri-Puri Prisoner's full appearance

Puri-Puri Prisoner is a flamboyant, openly homosexual superhero. He takes an interest in other good looking male heroes and criminals; an interest which led to his titular jail sentence, as he kept sexually assaulting them. Criminals that he apprehends are then added to his harem. He appears to be rather absent-minded, as he did not think to remove his sweater before bulking up, and then blamed his opponent, the Deep Sea King , for its destruction.
He also has a standard about true justice, protesting Sweet Mask 's attitude on criticizing and mocking the hardships of the S-Class and A-Class heroes trying to risk their lives protecting A-City , and resisting an unexpected invasion from the Dark Matter Thieves , asking Sweet Mask on which side he truly is.
He also seems to take pride in his position, as part of the reason he wanted to defeat the Deep Sea King was because Genos had surpassed him in rank and he wanted to prove his worth as an S-Class hero.
As the lowest-ranked hero in the S-Class, he seems to be more down to earth, relatively kind, and very polite, than some of the more self-absorbed heroes in S-Class. Though he escaped prison to fight the Deep Sea King under the pretense that he had done it to prove his worth after being outranked by Genos, his internal dialogue at the time also indicated that he did it because he didn't want to see any more heroes get hurt. He also took the time to inform Saitama about the late seer Shibabawa during an S-Class hero meeting about the prophecy, whereas many of the other S-Class heroes automatically dismiss Saitama as not worthy to speak to them, due to his lower rank. He also showed humility and maturity following his defeat by the Deep Sea King, not being above taking the creature's advice about combos to heart in order to develop a new technique. Later, when Sweet Mask berates the S-Class heroes for A-City's destruction, Puri-Puri Prisoner refrained from being argumentative and instead tried to defuse the situation, showing that despite his flamboyant antics, he is capable of demonstrating calmness, reason and tact in serious situations.


One-Punch Man

Rabbit is a young man with black hair. He wears a bunny outfit, making him look like an anthropomorphic rabbit, along with bunny ears and a pair of sunglasses.

Rafflesidon bore a great resemblance to the Rafflesia flower albeit with slightly more rounded features. However, despite his great resemblance to the flower, he had two eyes with completely black sclera and white irises. He had a bulbous nose with a wood like texture to it.

Extended appearance

Raiden is adamant about not joining the current Hero Association , opting instead to contract with the Neo Heroes .
Confident in his strength, Raiden boasts of his legendary reputation and even challenges Superalloy Darkshine to a sparring match. Like Darkshine, he craves the thrill of battling strong opponents, but after witnessing Darkshine's anxiety during their encounter, he internally questioned whether Darkshine had passed his prime, which disappointed him.
However, Raiden also possesses an honorable and compassionate side. He called off the spar when he realized Darkshine wasn’t in peak fighting condition, not wanting to intimidate him. Additionally, he expressed concern for Darkshine's safety, urging him to move aside when Mars Leo was rampaging.

Expand to see original webcomic information. Beware of spoiler content. He believes that achieving great strength through rigorous training surpasses any scientific enhancements to the human body, as he feels such modifications hinder the innate potential of individuals. Nonetheless, he exhibits a cruel attitude towards criminals, opting to forcibly convert them into mind-controlled cyborgs rather than pursuing more humane methods of rehabilitation. However, after battling Puri-Puri Prisoner, he seems to have had a change of heart, recognizing him as a true hero and committing to a more open-minded approach to reformative justice. Raiden also holds firm convictions, demonstrating a willingness to directly defy his leader's orders when he believes they aren't just.

Red Nose's hero outfit

Red Nose is a rather selfish and attention-seeking individual, as seen when he kept looking at the camera and posing while trying to convince a man to refrain from committing suicide. [2] He is also pretty cowardly given how he'd run from a monster at first sight and yet is highly overconfident, seeing Garou's rising infamy after defeating Tanktop Master as an opportunity for promotion and underestimating the Hero hunter due to the latter being a human. [3]


One-Punch Man

Reptera is a woman with a buxom humanoid shape and equipped with reptilian attributes: a tail, a body partially covered with scales, and sharp teeth. Her very long white puffy hair with two braids is decked out in dark feathers, as well as two straight black horns. Her outfit consists of pieces of camouflage fabric, black panties, spiked bracelets, and strappy heeled shoes. She is armed with daggers dripping with her venom.

Reptera is hostile towards heroes. Puri Puri Prisoner left a terrifying impression on her both because of his power and his explanations that are beyond her. She has a bad temper as seen when she responds unrestrainedly to Baquma because he blamed his group for deviating from their mission for the Monster Association.


One-Punch Man

It was a relatively huge monster. It had claws, many sharp teeth and six eyes, somewhat resembling Overgrown Rover . It was also shown to be a quadruped, walking on all fours. It also has spiked, messy black hair on its head that goes down its back.

He had the head of a rhino and was heavily built, with many layers of thick skin and armor on his body. He wore a wrestling singlet and had an armband on each arm. On his abdomen was a large tattoo.

Rhino Wrestler was very prideful and eager to put his strength to the test. In addition, he desired to be praised by others. A testament to this can be seen when he asked Phoenix Man what he thought of Rhino Wrestler's disaster level.
Like most other prideful monsters, he didn't care about compatibility with other heroes, with his only style of fighting being knocking down whoever comes in his way.
Unlike most other monsters, Rhino Wrestler actually trained to hone his fighting abilities.


One-Punch Man

Rosie was a young man with light-colored eyes and grey hair that parted to the left and had an undercut. He wore an Air Force Blue suit with a white shirt underneath and a red diamond-patterned tie.
After eating the Monster Cells he grew more muscular and larger in size, and also had some protrusions sticking from his back.

Rosie was very ambitious and planned to revolutionize psychology and logic in martial arts. Deep inside, he was a coward who was easily willing to do anything to survive, even if it meant abandoning his martial art style and his own humanity for the sake of surviving as he is the first one to rush to eat the Monster Cell.
As a monster, he was quite vengeful and sadistic, as he beats a heavily injured Dave to avenge his humiliating defeat in the first round of the tournament.


One-Punch Man

Royal Ripper was a humanoid monster wrapped almost completely in bandages, having exposed only his right eye and his long dark disheveled hair. Over his wrappings, he wore a worn-out tattered red dress and flat black shoes. Instead of hands, he had a pair of long and sharp straight blades that he sometimes used to scratch the floor in a menacing manner. Royal Ripper's inside was nothing like that of a normal human, but a mixture of hair, blood, and gauze.

Royal Ripper's full appearance

Royal Ripper was a sadistic monster with a very strong drive towards torture and killing. He was shown to get excited over cutting apart anyone, enemies and allies alike. He experienced intense sadism towards children, and Black Sperm was not surprised when Royal Ripper disappeared with Tareo , remarking that "He couldn't hold back his urges." Phoenix Man described him as an "a one-of-a-kind psycho who kills for pleasure," so much so that even other monsters avoided going anywhere near him. [3]
He even stated to Tareo that he didn't care for the Monster Association, as his only goal in life was to slaughter other creatures. [4]
He was very psychotic, yet childish, referring to his fellow monsters with honorifics in a rather playful manner. Although he enjoyed toying with his opponents, he could easily be overwhelmed by his killing instincts as shown when he attacked a distracted Garou from behind and continued to viciously slash at him despite the latter already being down. [5]


One-Punch Man

Rumbling Thunder had large, spiky hair and long sideburns. He wore a coat with fuzz along its cuffs and collar and a lightning bolt embroidered on the stomach. He also wore knee-length pants.

Little is known about his personality, although it can be theorized that since he's part of the same graduating class as Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame, he takes great pride in his abilities and his class's reputation. He was the only one of the ninja who was not impressed by Sonic's Ten Shadow Burial, calling it a desperate struggle.
Like the rest of the Heavenly Ninja Party, Rumbling Thunder despises Flashy Flash for destroying the village, showing he respects the village despite all of the harsh training it put him through. He also possesses a sense of comradery and joins together with the other ninjas of the village.


One-Punch Man

Ryumon has the appearance of a battle-worn gangster. He has dark, slicked back hair that is shaved on the sides, as well as thick eyebrows and sunken eyes. He is missing his front teeth and has 3 lines of stitches running from his mouth down his jaw. He wears a fancy jacket with fur trim on the collar and cuffs, as well as black gloves and several chains around his neck. His eyes are also large with lots of lines under them. The lines give him a battle-worn appearance.

Ryumon is excited about the Neo Heroes betting system allowing people to bet on the monsters too. [1]

Expand to see original webcomic information. Beware of spoiler content. Ryumon presents himself as a well-mannered man seeking to redeem himself from his past actions as a gangster, but has expressed his wishes to carry weapons in public. As a result, Accel suspects that he is merely putting up a facade.


One-Punch Man

Sage Centipede is an enormous centipede-like creature, even larger than the already massive Elder Centipede . It resembles Elder Centipede but is distinctly more monstrous, with sharper, spikier armor protruding from its body. Its mandibles are significantly bigger, and its antennas are wider and thicker. Sage Centipede claims to have 6666 limbs in total, which resemble twisted humanoid arms with claws and armor. [1] It has three faces: a "normal" centipede face with two eyes, a dragon-like face between the eyes with two main eyes and two smaller eyes behind each, and a skull-like humanoid face with five eyes and no lower jaw on the second face's forehead.
Sage Centipede is so long that it can stretch to space . [2]

Sage Centipede's full appearance Sage Centipede's immense length

Sage Centipede portrays itself as a single-minded being, bent on achieving the singular goal of destroying "The Abominable Fist That Has Turned Against God" (later revealed to be Saitama ). As such, it boasts of its superiority in the face of humanity, thinking of humans as insolent and tiny. Extremely aggressive and powerful, Sage Centipede threatened to execute "divine retribution and destruction" for the sake of the Earth, whom it acknowledges as "father", as well as proclaiming the planet's oceans as "mother". [1]
During the fight with Garou and Metal Bat , Sage Centipede displays its cowardly nature on more than one occasion by taking a helicopter hostage, which has Tareo and some heroes inside.


One-Punch Man

Saitama is an ordinary-looking man with a bald head, brown eyes, and a lean yet well-built physique of average height and weight. He used to have a full head of short black hair, but it was lost due to the demanding intensity of his hero training regimen.
He is usually depicted in a more simplistic style compared to the other characters, similar to the original webcomic 's design, with an elliptical head shape and simple facial features. In contrast, when portrayed in a more serious manner, Saitama exhibits sharp, defined facial features, intense eyes, and chiseled musculature. His posture also changes, shifting from a slack, sloping-shouldered stance when relaxed to a straightened, squared-off posture when serious.

Saitama before losing his hair Saitama's hero costume, his "casual" and "serious" faces Saitama's physique

Saitama's character on the upper surface can be best summed up as "average". At first glance, nothing about him strikes anyone he meets or causes them to note anything remarkable about him. Before becoming a hero, he was an average salaryman and did not seem interested in anything initially, though becoming a hero has always been a dream of Saitama's. [27] Before becoming one, he used to be frustrated about society, just like Hammerhead and even commenting that he could have become just like them depending on the path he took. [28]
Due to his great power and being virtually indestructible, Saitama is an indifferent person. Even the mightiest foes pose no challenge to him, so he does not take his hero work seriously, goes through everything with little to no effort, and yearns for an opponent that can provide him with a challenge. [29] The lack of worthy opponents has led him to suffer from a self-imposed existential crisis, [7] and he claims that his ability to feel any emotions has dulled considerably. [30] The combination of his attitude, unstoppable power, and "unimpressive" appearance often causes his battles to become anticlimactic. Saitama will usually allow his opponents to rant about their motives and power up into their strongest forms, before obliterating them with a single punch. [31]

Saitama's indifferent expression after knowing people speaking ill of him

Saitama's indifference doesn't rest solely on his hero work either. In daily life, he is often seen lounging around, playing video games, reading manga, or going out for strolls. His taste in food is rather plain, and he often frequents food stalls rather than going to restaurants or cooking at home. As his primary interest, hero work has become unfulfilling, and he pays little attention to anything else. A running gag about Saitama is his inability to remember people's faces and names, as seen when he forgot Speed-o'-Sound Sonic 's name, [32] or when he could not remember who Tanktop Tiger was. [33] Because of this, he sometimes ends up pronouncing people's names incorrectly, much to their chagrin. [34] Saitama does not care if people insult him, and he usually ignores them and says that they need a hobby; [35] the only insult that could get a reaction out of him is anything about his lack of hair. [36] [37] He has expressed distaste towards his officially assigned hero name, Caped Baldy. Thus, even after receiving it, he always refers to himself as Saitama.

Saitama's reaction knowing he will miss a bargain sale

Despite his indifference, Saitama can find things that interest him and actively looks for activities to relieve his boredom. These things tend to be mundane activities such as watching TV, shopping, or playing games. He shows a measure of concern when it comes to bargains and deals, as seen when he fought Carnage Kabuto , where he was more shocked upon the realization that he was going to miss a bargain sale, rather than his opponent, who had undergone a transformation and was beating him around. [38]

Saitama gets impatient with Genos' explanation

He can also express irritation and even outright anger depending on the situation. However, Saitama has limited patience for long explanations and often interrupts the speaker. [39] [40] [41] His ideal word count is 20 or less. [39] He can get angry when he loses to someone like King when they play games. He will become enraged if anyone messes with his food or damages his home as he immediately killed a mantis monster for crashing through his roof and told Genos to move his fight with Sonic somewhere away from his apartment.
Aside from being quite a cheapskate due to his financial status, he has a greedy side seen when he tried to steal bags of gold from the underground mine inside the Monster Association Headquarters and was visibly upset after accidentally dropping them down to the bottom of an underground ravine. [42]
Despite his general indifference to most things, Saitama was genuinely shocked when he realized that no one knew of him despite his achievements, curious as to why he doesn't have any fans. This reaction demonstrates that while he isn't necessarily into hero work for fame, he certainly doesn't object to it. [43] Another running joke is Saitama's jealousy of higher rankings, such as when he grew irritated when Genos listed off all of the comments made by fans about how amazing Genos is in their eyes.
Beneath the surface, Saitama is much more complex than his appearance and attitude suggest. While he scored low on the written portion of the hero exam, he is, by no means, unintelligent. Saitama is very observant, insightful, and has high tactical awareness. This is seen in how he could easily discern situations and character traits from the people and environment around him. He could pick up several hints about Sonic's persona upon their first meeting. [44] When two tank top heroes jealously plotted to ruin him after the meteor event , he remarked that there were irate and self-serving hero types like them. He was even able to discern Fubuki 's forced offer of submission or destruction just before his crackdown on how the hero world really works than how it is currently run. [45] Saitama has shown remorse to his enemies before, particularly those who can give him a stimulating fight and don't just go down in one hit. One such example of this is Boros , the self-claimed "Dominator of the Universe", with whom Saitama sympathized due to suffering from similar circumstances, though, in the end, even Boros still could not draw out Saitama's full power. [46]
Saitama tends to come off as abrasive to others and often is inconsiderate of their feelings or how his words affect them. That isn't to say he is intentionally malicious or rude, but rather that his indifference extends to his social interactions. He reacted to Fubuki greeting him as the number 1 B-Class heroine with a quick acknowledgement but seemed otherwise unimpressed frustrating Fubuki. He also downplays the gravity of situations based on his own perspective rather than that of others, never considering that those without his earth-shattering power would be rightly more horrified in extreme cases like Boros threatening to destroy the world or the monster society declaring open war on humanity. During his fight with Garou, Saitama initially displayed his unconcerned attitude against the Human Monster, from playful banter to compliments on Garou's capability.

Saitama turning the civilians against him

Despite his aloof, carefree, and uninterested personality, Saitama is actually one of the most morally upright heroes in the story. While many other heroes only care about personal achievements so they can rank up in order to gain more fame and popularity, Saitama is very humble, as he purposefully let the masses turn against him in order for the defeated heroes to be given credit for their efforts against the Deep Sea King , even claiming that they had weakened the monster before his arrival wanting to give credit to the heroes that were actually risking their lives to protect innocent people. [47] Saitama did the same for the police station , killing a monster while disguised as a police officer , despite potentially gaining much fame had he revealed who he actually was as he heard the Hero Association executive try to force the police to beg for assistance exclaiming that, "Police and heroes don't help people because someone had to beg". [48] This is also his outlook on being a hero as he told Genos, "If heroes run and hide, who will stand and fight". He also did not mind that King took credit for all of his achievements. [49] One of the most understated signs of Saitama's high morality is that he never uses his incredible strength for evil, even though no one can stop him from doing whatever he wants.

Saitama telling Genos he's gotten stronger

Although he may initially rub people the wrong way and seldom shows his emotions to others, it doesn't mean Saitama doesn't show care for the people around him or their physical or mental well-being. On some occasions, he's helped people with their mental issues, such as a suicidal man wanting to jump off a building, [50] and giving words of encouragement to Fubuki about how she should not seek the approval of others but live her life how she wanted. [51] He promised Tareo to stop Garou without killing him, [52] and complemented Genos after the cyborg saved Tatsumaki by claiming that his heart had grown stronger. [53]
While he has no problem killing monsters, Saitama has yet to be seen killing another human and only ever uses enough strength to knock them out. His restraint is so ingrained that no matter the opponent's power and no matter how much Saitama knows about them, he only kills when he intends to kill, even if he hits someone unexpectedly, such as the number of times he's knocked out Garou.

Saitama exhibiting a somber demeanor following Genos' death in the Ominous Future

In the Ominous Future , after the devastating deaths of Genos and numerous other heroes at the hands of Garou, Saitama becomes despondent. He begins questioning his abilities and intuition as a hero, lamenting that he tends to arrive too late to prevent such tragic outcomes. Quickly, this changes into a state of tranquil anger, where he decides to no longer hold back against Garou. The death of Genos also causes Saitama to lose any potential excitement at facing the Hero Hunter, despite considering Garou a strong opponent who may provide him with a challenging fight, showing his depression at his disciple's end. [54] In spite of his anger towards Garou for his cruel doings, at the end of their fight, Saitama recalls his promise to Tareo about not killing Garou (or he has always kept it in mind during the fight). He eventually calms down and reverts to his casual, relaxed demeanor, complying with the Hero Hunter's request to teach him a time travel technique. Garou later comments that individuals of such immense power as himself and Saitama require the presence of others to act as anchors, to help them maintain their sanity - the sense of isolation that accompanies such unparalleled strength can be enough to drive even the most powerful beings to the brink of madness. [55]

Saitama motivates Glasses to become stronger

Saitama has proven to be a good figure to other people, both heroes and villains alike. His influence made Genos quit his revenge wishes and start focusing on training to become a good and strong hero. [56] [57] He has also made insecure people like Fubuki and Glasses stand up to their challenges and become better heroes. [58] Saitama also advises King to train and become strong for real, rather than being upset the latter stole credit from his battles. [59]
As Genos notes, Saitama "attracts the strong", as many powerful heroes and villains have taken a liking to him. [60] This is due to his lack of interest in hero ranking and fame that attracts them. [61]


One-Punch Man

He has black pointy hair with bored and sleepy eyes and a big nose alongside with big lips and a cleft chin.

Like most teachers, he is serious and strict about his job. When Saitama forgot to do his homework, the teacher berated him. He is also the type who can't take a joke.


One-Punch Man

Sanshon is a burly, well-built man. He has short black hair, a long mustache, and a black beard. He wears glasses and has some creases under his eyes.


One-Punch Man

Santa is a portly, older looking man with thick eyebrows and a bushy white beard. He wears a red coat with white fur collar and cuffs and a red hat with white fur.


One-Punch Man

Satoru is a young man of average height and weight. He wears an armored suit, with brown armor covering his torso and shoulders. He has a black leather suit under the armor, black gauntlets, and knee pads. He also has a green bicycle helmet and dark-shaded goggles. Underneath his helmet and shades, he has short, brown hair and oval-shaped glasses that obscure his eyes.

Satoru is an extremely brave, loyal, and honorable hero who refuses to overlook any crime, no matter how minor or insignificant it may be or back down from any fight, no matter the opponent. He is incredibly determined and never backs down, even at the cost of his own life. He is perfectly willing to give his own life if it means protecting innocent people from evil, even when it is clear he has absolutely no chance of success.
He seems aware that he is weak compared to other heroes, and doesn't feel that he is worthy to move up in class because of it, but he is still more than willing to take on opponents for which the Hero Association sends out for A-Class heroes or above, buying enough time for the stronger heroes to arrive. This shows his selfless concept of self-sacrifice and his willingness to go the extra mile, as seen when other C-Class heroes were seen running away from the Deep Sea King .
He is very passionate about justice. He is shown to greatly respect people who save him, as seen when he mails Saitama a letter that he initially tries to compose, but quickly crosses out and finishes with a quick "Thank you!!", afterward asking the owner at the oden bar he was eating at to give Saitama his best serving. Similarly to Saitama, Mumen Rider's heroic deeds are very pure, especially having some sympathy towards villains who seem to have a human heart left in them and appear to be misguided towards a wrong path, such as Bang 's former disciple, Garou .
Even though he has been insulted by the Tank Topper Army and several other higher ranking heroes, Mumen Rider doesn't mind. He is also perceptive enough to see Saitama's true abilities during their first encounter.
He has high expectations of heroes and does not believe they should commit dishonorable deeds. An example of this belief is when he's talking to Charanko in the hospital; when telling Charanko about Saitama and learning of Saitama going to the Super Fight Tournament, he assures Charanko that Saitama would never break the rules to enter in Charanko's place since he is a hero. [3] This could be interpreted as naivety for believing that no heroes can commit selfish deeds.
In many ways, Satoru can be seen as a foil to Saitama; Satoru outwardly has very little of the perceived strength required to be a superhero, and yet he has the immense drive and willpower to be one, while Saitama has all the strength he could need to be a hero, but none of the enthusiasm that Satoru has.


One-Punch Man

Saturn Man wears a costume with a large image of planet Jupiter on his chest, and accents resembling the rings of Saturn around his head and waist.


One-Punch Man

Scaledon is officially described as being 164 cm tall and weighing 100 kg. However, this was back when he was captured as a Wolf-level threat, and after mutating, his body grew much greater in size.
His final form somewhat resembled several animals such as an armadillo, a pangolin, and dinosaurs like Nodosaurus.

Scaledon's full appearance


One-Punch Man

Sekingar is a tall man with brown hair who dresses in a dark business suit. His right eye is replaced with a metal prosthetic eye.

Sekingar is extremely efficient in planning and executing operations in the Hero Association. He is also calm, cautious and calculating in analyzing situations for the best of the Hero Association. Furthermore, his cautious nature is shown when he removes Silver Fang and Demon Cyborg from Waganma's rescue operation due to Genos's suspicious past and Bang being emotionally compromised with Garou .
He describes himself as a glory hound; while he has high hopes for the success of the rescue operation and destruction of the mysterious Monster Association , he mentions that his primary motivation for leading the operation is to get a promotion to advisor and go down in the history books as a hero. He mentions that he once took the Hero Association exam, but failed, and that it is a point of personal pride.
Despite what he says, he does possess a brave and heroic side that comes forward in times of turmoil. After Nyan incapacitated nearly every member of the support team, Sekingar single-handedly began carrying every unconscious hero to safety. Likewise, he was prepared to face the demon-level G5 on his own despite having just lost part of his right arm. He believes that everyone has their use in the right place, whether they be brilliant "diamonds" or mere "stones."


One-Punch Man

Serial Bomber covers his face with a mask and red-tinted glasses, only revealing his large nose. He wears his hair in a topknot that peaks through the mask.

He seemed to have no remorse on planting many bombs on a moving train, which could cause destruction to Z-City .

Shibabawa was an old woman with white hair, long fingernails, very thin eyebrows and many wrinkles. She had sunken cheeks and very few teeth. She wore a pearl necklace and earrings.

While predicting the future for the next half year, Shibabawa foresees that the greatest catastrophe of the era is about to strike and that the Earth is in danger, and as she dies, she looks on with complete fear and despondency at her crystal ball and the supposed destruction of Planet Earth. [4]

Alien Conquerors Arc [ ]

It is later revealed that during her prediction she was caught in a violent fit of coughing. While taking some cough drops, she choked on them and died. [5] As she was choking, she wrote a note on a page that said, "The Earth is in trouble!!!" . [6]


One-Punch Man

Shido has a stern expression, highlighted by a prominent scar running diagonally down the right side of his face. He wears rectangular glasses and his dark hair is slicked back, slightly tousled. He is dressed in traditional Japanese attire, specifically a dark kimono with a light-colored, patterned trim along the edges.

Shido's extended appearance

Shido appears to be a respectful and honorable individual. After inheriting his father's seat on the Council of Swordmasters, he shows a deep sense of duty by paying respects to the fallen swordmasters, including his father, Zanbai. Despite the loss, he accepts Zanbai's fate with a sense of pride, acknowledging that his father cherished dying in battle. This demonstrates his understanding and acceptance of the warrior's way of life. His interaction with Nichirin, where he consoles him by expressing happiness for Nichirin's survival, shows his compassionate and considerate nature. His initial confusion followed by fascination with Nichirin's incredible sword technique indicates a genuine curiosity and openness to learning.


One-Punch Man

Shiverhuahua is a muscular humanoid Mysterious Being with a head that resembles that of a chihuahua .
Before its transformation into a Mysterious Being, Shiverhuahua was a normal lapdog.

Before becoming a monster, Shiverhuahua exhibited the characteristics of a friendly lapdog.
Being formerly a lapdog, Shiverhuahua now rampages out of fear and anxiety when outside. After its transformation, it attacks anyone it perceives as hostile, viewing them as enemies and believing that killing them will bring peace.


One-Punch Man

Shooter wears large baggy clothes and his hair has a unique shape in which the frontal hair has the appearance of a bow and the back his hair has an arrow as hair pin. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and sports a blue and black costume.

Not much is known about Shooter's personality. He enjoys fighting using archery and is willing to eliminate any threats to humanity.


One-Punch Man

Shoulderpads is a young man with short black hair and thick lips. He wears black pants, a black and white jacket with a zipper and large white shoulder pads, by which he was named after.


One-Punch Man

Showerhead had a humanoid body who, from waist down, had human legs. Like his name suggests, he had a circular showerhead for a head and clamps for hands. His torso appeared armored in plastic above his black clothing and his chest had a gear which he could turn to change the properties of the liquid he fires.

Showerhead seemed to have confidence in his abilities, believing he could defeat Garou and blast back Overgrown Rover 's attack, only to meet his demise. However, he acknowledged the strength of higher Dragon-level mysterious beings and was willing to work alongside other monsters when fighting opponents.


One-Punch Man

Shrieking Scream had an odd appearance. He wore a large mask or helmet, which gave his head an elongated shape and had a face on it covering his own. Only his mouth could be seen within the gaping maw of the mask. He also wore light-colored clothes, including a collared vest.


One-Punch Man

Sitch is a middle-aged man with a bulbous nose and gray hair parted to the right. He wears a black business suit with a white shirt and red tie.

Sitch is shown to be a calm man and very smart due to his position. He is prone to panicking when things take a drastic turn for the cataclysmic and he is the only one to see Garou as a threat to the Hero Association and Humanity. He's also very serious about his job and the situation, strongly believing in the "God Level Threat prophecy" and that Garou is a contender to fulfill it, showing considerable if restrained anger at the carefree attitude of his peers and their frivolities in lite of this frightening possibility. [2] He's also shown to be a tactful, caring man who values the lives of his colleagues. Be they association staff or the heroes who work for them. As such he is appalled at Sekingar's reckless, bordering outright apathetic recruitment of minor heroes to replace the more powerful ones in battle against the Monster Association. Thinking that using such back-handed tactics is a waste of resources as well as human life when the Shibabawa prophecy has yet to come to pass. [3]


One-Punch Man

The Sky King was a humanoid bird-like being with the appearance of an aging but muscular old man. He had long hair, a large nose, wrinkled forehead, sharp teeth, and pointed ears. He had two sets of wings on his back as well as talons on his feet and clawed fingers. He also wore a small crown. His overall appearance is reminiscent of the Tengu , a creature of Japanese folklore. [2]

Sky King colored (Manga)

The Sky King appeared to be confident and rather arrogant. Due to his belief that he could destroy the Hero Association with ease and his extreme confidence in his subordinates' strength, he coveted possession of Earth's surface.


One-Punch Man

Slaughterous Massacre, true to his name, had a ghastly appearance. He was very tall and skinny. He had light-colored hair in a short bob, and his eyes were large and circular. He wore a fishnet bodysuit underneath a black crop top, shorts, and elbow pads.

Although little is known about his personality, it can be theorized that since his class was named "Bloodstain", and his name is Slaughterous Massacre, he is rather sadistic and enjoys killing his enemies. Like the other ninjas of the Heavenly Ninja Party, he is angry at Flashy Flash for destroying the Village, showing he respects it despite the harsh training it put him through. He also possesses a sense of comradery with the other ninjas of the village and is willing to join together with them.


One-Punch Man

Slice is a robot with a head resembling a virus and a body that looks like a coil. It has numerous razor-sharp tentacles as its limbs.

Slice appears to be a robot designed to only focus on carrying out its missions. It announces its intentions to kill Puri-Puri Prisoner and many other prisoners to collect their body parts for the modification of soldiers of The Organization.


One-Punch Man

Sludge Jellyfish was a walking blob of sludge.
After his first encounter with Garou , Sludge Jellyfish adopted a more humanoid appearance and changed his form so that he had two legs and several tentacles.

Sludge Jellyfish was one of the more friendly monsters to appear, alongside Phoenix Man . He even tried to invite Garou to join the Monster Association despite the latter attacking him. However, Sludge Jellyfish did not forget the incident and got revenge by holding Tareo as a hostage to mess with Garou: his vengeful side showed itself again when he prepared to kill Child Emperor and openly admitted he was the type to hold grudges. Like most monsters, he was rather fearful of powerful heroes such as King and Tatsumaki, and was scared at the mere mention of their name. However, he was very confident in the power of the Executive Members of the Monster Association, stating that they would defeat all the heroes, and it was as if they were created by "God" himself.
Like Phoenix Man, Sludge Jellyfish was one of the few rational monsters, who wasn't prompt to kill humans or attack them on sight. He engaged in a conversation with Tareo and Waganma .


One-Punch Man

Slugerous was a humanoid slug. He had a black-spotted, very slug-like torso and head, with the addition of arms, legs, a nose, and a mouth. [2]

Slugerous is fearful and places his trust primarily in the strength of his fellow mutants. Slugerous was apparently pals with Frog Man.


One-Punch Man

He wears a gas mask to protect him from his noxious chemicals.

He seems to be rather confident in his abilities and works well in a team.


One-Punch Man

The Smelly Lid Old Man was an elderly man with a large nose and many missing teeth. While in prison, he wore the standard striped prison uniform, along with a small hat.

The Smelly Lid Old Man, being the oldest and longest-held prisoner, took great pleasure in watching new prisoners suffer. However, like the other prisoners, he had a great fear of Puri-Puri Prisoner.


One-Punch Man

Smile Man is a lean muscular man with short brown hair that peaks out from his headcover. He wears a red bodysuit and a black mask. His bodysuit and belt have a smiley face.

Smile Man is a realist, who is aware of the Hero Association's ranking and the attitudes of the heroes who usually join it. He's a humble, cautious, and calm individual as he was not agitated when he was suddenly attacked by the Demon-leveled monster, Fist Fight Djinn .


One-Punch Man

Sneck is a fairly tall, very serious-looking man with a rather angular face, sharp eyes, and spiky black hair. He wears a suit which he made from the skin of a monster he killed , with a black dress shirt, a white tie, and a pair of black shoes.

Sneck is a rather pretentious individual, thinking that newcomers to the Hero Association should respect him. He also takes the rankings of the association very seriously, attempting to assault newcomers who have the potential to be better than him, especially if they don't take him seriously. This implies a slightly corrupt motivation for being a hero. He is also very confident in his abilities, still deciding to fight Saitama even after being told of his immense strength.
While his pursuit of pride and glory is evident, Sneck still puts himself at risk by fighting the Deep Sea King to protect innocent civilians, despite knowing that he would lose. He is not so arrogant as to be delusional; he accepts that Saitama, the Deep Sea King, and the S-Class heroes are out of his league. He acknowledges that Suiryu is stronger than him and does not need his protection, yet he ultimately saves the martial artist, revealing a more selfless and noble aspect of his character.


One-Punch Man

Sosshi's hair sweeps over his right eye. He wears the white power armor provided by The Organization .


One-Punch Man

Sour Face's most noticeable feature is his taut face, strained to the point where it appears that he has been eating foods that were too sour, and a cleft chin.
Sour Face was initially shown to be a rather large muscular man, but in later chapters appeared to be quite short.
During his stay in the hospital, he is shown to be incredibly short-sighted as he has to wear thick glasses to watch the news on TV.

Sour Face in casual clothes

Sour Face enjoys denigrating Charanko for his lack of etiquette in practicing martial arts, from slacking off during training to entering the Super Fight tournament behind Bang's back, although in the latter case he was unaware that Saitama had entered under the then-injured Charanko's name. As one of Bang's former disciples, Sour Face holds his former master in high esteem. [2] He also nurses a grudge against Garou , who had rampaged across the dojo and severely injured him, forcing him to quit. He's also rather upset that he left the dojo, for while he created his own fighting style, he states he would've been Bang's number one disciple if he hadn't left. However, he still fears Garou: Saitama emphasizes that Sour Face had left Bang's dojo after the incident and entered the Super Fight to "pretend to fight" Garou, whereas Charanko had challenged Garou alone and head on, albeit foolishly.
Sour Face is also very nervous in front of crowds. [3] After his fight with the equally nervous Giga Pro-Wrestling fighter Jakumen , Sour Face, who feared being embarrassed with defeat by his opponent, praises him abundantly after his victory. In part due to this nervousness, he becomes friendly with and strikes up an informal alliance with "Charanko" to survive the tournament, helping him fix the disguised Saitama's belt, and praising him for insulting Zakos after Zakos insulted both him and Bang. Upon realizing that "Charanko" was about to fight the horribly violent Bakuzan , Sour Face strongly cautions him about the lethality of his opponent's attacks. Sour Face is also a trusting individual as he still believes Saitama to be Charanko after his wig is knocked off.


One-Punch Man

Mile was a muscular man with dark combed-back hair. While in prison, he wore a standard prison uniform, but tied his shirt around his shoulders, and wears leather bracelets with spikes.

Mile was very confident in his abilities, challenging Sonic to a fight. He did fear Puri-Puri Prisoner and apologized to the other prisoners for waking him up.


One-Punch Man

She is a young woman with wavy purple hair tied in a wide ponytail with straight bangs framing her face. She has light blue eyes and wears black-rimmed glasses and red lipstick. Her attire consist of a white frilled shirt and black blazer. She also wears a choker around her neck with a plus symbol and also matching earrings.


One-Punch Man

Sonic is a slim young man. His long black hair is normally tied up in a topknot, and bangs fall over his face. A noticeable feature of his is the purple marks underneath his large gray eyes. He usually wears a tight black latex bodysuit highlighted by metal plating on his shins, arms, shoulders, chest, and waist, as well as a long purple scarf that falls to his legs.
During his fight with Genos , Genos ripped his scarf and tore off his topknot, leaving the ninja with short hair. [9] In the manga, when Sonic later appears during the fight between Saitama and Tatsumaki, he is seen with his long purple scarf and long hair again. [10]

Sonic's full appearance

Despite his normally calm demeanor, Sonic loves fighting, as he is motivated by bloodlust against weak opponents, the thrill of battle and his superiority against strong opponents he can beat, as well as competition against a strong opponent he can't beat. Sonic has a large ego; when he sets his mind to killing someone, he refuses to give up until he succeeds and is unwilling to tolerate the existence of someone more capable who has defeated him. Sonic has no regards for human life other than his own, and even takes pride in the fact that he has never let an opponent live. [11] To that end, he holds considerable disdain for the world, being quite cynical, especially towards heroes. This is shown when he meets Genos for the first time, he tells him that heroes can neither win against a truly strong opponent nor can they truly protect anything.
Despite the way he presents himself, Sonic has a soft side, as seen when he trains to fight against Saitama. During this period, he spent a great deal of time with Frank , a hunter who had almost been killed by a bear and confides with him his inner turmoil. While he is pacing himself, Speed-o-Sound finds and befriends a little piglet as well, naming it Ino , thus showing his more noble side. When Sonic leaves to search for Saitama, he gives his words of wisdom to Frank, saying that if he is too confident in his fighting style and loses, the result will always be the same. It is unclear as to how far this side of him goes to, as he was willing to warn Genos of the Deep Sea King , yet fought him when Genos interfered with his battle with Saitama.
Due to constantly losing to Saitama, Sonic is shown willing to do anything, even trading his own humanity, to defeat him by becoming a monster through the consumption of a Monster Cell provided by Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame . [12] Sonic also respects Saitama for fighting monsters and even promised to himself to never fight Saitama while the hero is fighting monsters. He holds a very negative view of the Hero Association and some S-Class heroes after observing how they treat a powerful hero like Saitama like a low-ranked and worthless hero because of his looks. Ironically, he is also rather judgmental as he assumes Tatsumaki exploits her childish cuteness and that those with benign appearances are weaker than himself, displayed in his fight against Saitama and Kamikaze. [13]
In his youth, Sonic was a passionate boy who strove for a better life and did not allow the torturous training of the Ninja Village to turn him into a machine. He wanted to become the highest-ranking officer of the Ninja Village to change the institution and allow the trainees to live more freely. [14] He expressed that the true value lies in living freely and hoped that Flash would support his dreams.

Expand to see original webcomic information. Beware of spoiler content. Sonic's disdain for heroes appears to stem from an incident at the Village nine years ago, when Blast arrived to eliminate the hidden sect, massacring all of the Class 5 ninjas regardless of their age. Sonic was able to escape thanks to being the strongest in the group, although the experience was rather traumatizing as it changed his perception of the world and heroes. [15] He believes that the moniker of "hero" isn't really suited for anyone, feeling none are worthy of such a lofty title. Furthermore, Sonic feels what the hero industry does isn't at all different from what the assassination business of the Ninja Village did, with heroes merely acting as though they do it for the greater good. Sonic greatly loathes individuals who think highly of themselves because they are more powerful, often touting it as incentive to be self-righteous jerks. [15] He even expresses his deep disgust and dismay at the Hero Association and the Neo Heroes , saying that they have become more corrupt than the criminal underworld, and that they recruit degenerates, while the former strikes deals with ne'er-do-wells and psychopaths as a means to an end. [16]


One-Punch Man

Spring Mustachio is a lean-built man with short black hair combed to the left side with curled sideburns, yellow eyes with several wrinkles on the bottom of his face and a thick handlebar mustache. He wears a dark green suit and pants with a white collared shirt and red bow tie.

Spring Mustachio is an intelligent, serious man who doesn't back down, as shown by his persistence in fighting Kombu Infinity , even after being beaten up rather badly. He also shares a bond with fellow A-Class hero Golden Ball , as they regularly pair up to hunt monsters and share drinks in their spare time.
Spring Mustachio is content to stay in the lower ranks of the A-Class.


One-Punch Man

Stinger is a tall, lean-built young man with spiky black hair. He wears a tight black suit, which appears to be made of bandages. He carries a large spear with him that has a brown handle and a large spearhead at the end.

Stinger is a confident and charismatic individual who takes pride in both his hero rank and popularity in polls. He seems to overestimate the threat level of monster, thinking he defeated a God level threat, only to be a somewhat strong Tiger level one. However, he is not reckless. He did not utilize one of his signature moves against the Seafolk until the bystanders had vacated from the area. He also stopped his attack from hitting a fellow hero that Garou used as a shield. Surprisingly, he endured attacks from multiple Seafolk on purpose in order to buy time for the civilians to escape the fighting scene, showing a more selfless side of him.
He is happy to work together with other heroes, and is unwilling to abandon them when they're in danger; he rushed to Glasses' aid when Garou was beating him up, and also helped Lighting Genji stand on his feet after he was struck by a Demon-level monster. However, he is susceptible to goading and is quick to react to taunts.
He also seems to challenge monsters who are above his capabilities. [2] However, he is not delusional, as seen when he ran from the mother Grizzly Nyah .


One-Punch Man

Studless is a lean muscular man. He dresses in a blue bodysuit with a tire tread pattern running down the center. He wears a car tire around his waist and smaller tires around his wrists.


One-Punch Man

Like the Subterranean People, the Subterranean King had a humanoid appearance but was about double the size of the average human being. He was covered with black, armor-like pieces, with blue lava running in the space between them. He had three narrow eyes and four arms, each with three fingers. In each of his hands, he carried a red magma blade.
In the manga, his armor was brown in coloration with yellow/reddish magma swimming through his body which matches the commonly known colors of an active volcano. His blades also have the same color as magma.

The Subterranean King's true appearance.

The Subterranean King seemed to be rather confident in his abilities but was defeated almost instantly.


One-Punch Man

Suicho was an elderly man. He had tan skin and short white hair. He wore a dark Chinese-style martial arts uniform with white linings, long sleeves, and star-shaped buttons.

At some point, Suicho developed the Void Fist , which he decided to teach to his two grandchildren.
Suicho often sparred with his grandchildren, Suiryu and Suiko as well.

Expand to see original webcomic information. Beware of spoiler content. Suicho passed away two years ago.


One-Punch Man

He looks like a tired and stressed middle-aged man. Dressed in a shirt and tie, as a casual office worker. The look in his eyes shows he has lost everything. He has a growing beard, showing he is not looking after himself.

When he is first seen, he looks hopeless and wishes to die. He refuses the help of anyone, especially heroes as he believes they can't get through to him as all they want is to "bathe in praise" from saving him. He is a hard worker, claiming he sweat blood working to provide for his family and the company he works for. This shows his devotion for who he cares for. He doesn't feel he can be free either, as "only the young can do that."
In secret, he does not actually want to jump, he just wanted someone who cared for him to save him. When almost slipping he is terrified of dying, this wakes him up to the reality that he wants to stay alive.


One-Punch Man

Suiko is a young woman with a curvy yet very athletic build. She has dark eyes, tan skin, and short black hair. She wears a hoodie on top of a sport top and black pants.

Expand to see original webcomic information. Beware of spoiler content. In the webcomic, she wears a dark Chinese-style martial art uniform with white linings, long sleeves, and star-shaped buttons.

Suiko is an easygoing and carefree woman, if not a little naive. She is somewhat arrogant and occasionally overrates her own abilities, similar to how her brother Suiryu behaved before being saved by Saitama. Though, she is not afraid of working to improve herself.

Expand to see original webcomic information. Beware of spoiler content. Despite this, she is not one to put herself above others, as she was thankful to Saitama for saving her against Mirror and even called him much stronger than her own brother, Suiryu.


One-Punch Man

Suiryu is a tall and handsome young man with a lean, very muscular build. He has blue eyes, tan skin, and black hair tied in a ponytail reaching his lower back. He wears a navy blue Chinese-style martial arts uniform, which features white trim, long sleeves, and star-shaped buttons. Under the uniform, he wears metal bands around his biceps.

Expand to see original webcomic information. Beware of spoiler content. After he joins the Neo Heroes, he wears a Neo Heroes battle suit .

Suiryu's full appearance Suiryu's full appearance in the anime Suiryu's physique

Suiryu is a relaxed and carefree individual, often seen with a smile, and is a notorious playboy who prefers spending time with women over training. He is also perceptive, realizing Bakuzan 's bloodlust and strongly believes in the philosophy of natural selection, in which the strong will always prevail no matter what.
Suiryu is very eager to fight strong opponents and believes the reason for fighting is to live an easy life without worry. Due to the power gap between him and some of the other contestants at the Super Fight tournament, he is described by Sneck , as strong to the point where he finds himself bored, much like Saitama . As a result, he seeks to fight strong opponents to seek thrills in battle, which is a thing that both he and Saitama have in common.
In fights, Suiryu often holds back to make them more interesting, relying solely on his legs and ultimately defeating opponents with a single kick. He tends to engage in casual conversation during battles, and after winning, he sarcastically apologizes for his strength. While fighting Saitama, he reveals a more serious and arrogant demeanor. Once Saitama's disguise is exposed, Suiryu disregards his true identity, focusing solely on winning at any cost. This shift transforms him into a ruthless fighter who mercilessly pummels his opponent, flouting the match's rules in pursuit of victory.
Suiryu admires Saitama once he realizes Saitama only seeks thrills and not fame or glory. However, after being defeated by him, he begins to fear and respect Saitama, wishing to avoid future encounters and return to his carefree lifestyle. Initially, Suiryu disliked heroes , since he perceived them as cocky and fame-craving and thinks all of their heroic actions, benevolent preaching, and their sense of justice are boring and a waste of time. He believes that no hero, regardless of their strength or nobility, can resolve all crises or eradicate evil completely. This perspective leads him to prefer a carefree, thrill-seeking lifestyle over fighting for justice, a viewpoint that Saitama seems to disagree with.
When Gouketsu attacked the Super Fight stadium, Suiryu defended the other martial artists and refused Gouketsu's offer to join the Monster Association , despite the promise of a relaxed lifestyle as an executive member, as he sees monsters as abominations. Overwhelmed by Gouketsu, Suiryu exhibits fear, acknowledging Gouketsu's superiority in every regard. His pride further diminishes from his previous arrogance when he desperately seeks help from Bakuzan, realizing that he cannot win with his own strength.
His former view of heroes changes after being saved by Sneck and Max, revealing gratitude and respect for the two heroes, who returned to the stadium to save him. After being pushed to the brink of death by Bakuzan, he finally and truly sees the error of his disdained view against heroes, crying out for one to save him, tears in his eyes. Despite his hopeless situation, he maintains a sense of pride, refusing to lick Bakuzan's foot; instead, he breaks the latter's toe, even when it could have been his only chance at mercy from the tormenting monster. This act demonstrates his strong willpower and pride, as he refuses to compromise his humanity like others who surrendered for survival or power. Saitama complimented Suiryu on his tenacity to fight the monsters single-handedly until Saitama had arrived.
After witnessing Saitama defeat both Bakuzan and Gouketsu, Suiryu expresses gratitude and even asks Saitama if he can become his disciple. He ultimately becomes a hero, determined to help people against monsters and other threats.


One-Punch Man

The Super Fight Announcer wears a black suit with a tie and a pair of sunglasses. He keeps his hair as an afro that is in the shape of a microphone and has a mustache.


One-Punch Man

Super Mouse was an anthropomorphic mouse with white fur and a very muscular body. He was taller than Garou and had a long ringed tail. Similarly, his hands and feet also had ringed linings across them. Super Mouse also had featureless eyes with no irises and pupils, having a white sclera instead.

Super Mouse was a sadistic creature whom was rather confident in his abilities. However, he acknowledged the strength of stronger Dragon-level Mysterious Beings and was willing to work alongside other monsters when fighting opponents.


One-Punch Man

Superalloy Darkshine is a very tall, bulky, and muscular man. His entire body is tanned and gives off a lustrous shine. His head is bald, and he has full lips, dark eyes, and thick eyebrows. His only attire is a black speedo. When Darkshine flexes, his muscles seem to grow to unnatural levels. In the heat of battle, Darkshine's overwhelming presence causes him to look much larger than he usually is as he appeared to dwarf Puri-Puri Prisoner despite being only a few inches taller.
He gains permanent damage on his skin though from Fuhrer Ugly 's acid attack on his hands and chest.
As a child, Darkshine was thin and frail. He had medium-length black hair and light skin.

Full appearance Darkshine's flexed muscles Darkshine after retiring from his hero work

In contrast to his imposing outer appearance, Superalloy Darkshine is a level-headed individual who dislikes conflict. During S-Class hero meetings, where many egotistical individuals meet, Darkshine often tries to assume the role of mediator. [2] Superalloy Darkshine is a rather vain person, as when he was sitting at a meeting with other S-Class heroes, he wondered whether everyone's eyes were glued to his body and whether or not he was the shiniest person in the room. [5]
Despite his vanity, he does respect other heroes like Tatsumaki , King , and Genos . Additionally, he's shown to care deeply for others, and usually treats those he encounters with politeness and respect. He was also very kind to Mizuki , even though she's only a B-Class hero, and protected Mizuki from a string of attacks from monsters, insisting that she rest while complimenting her muscles.
When engaging against foes or incoming danger, Darkshine normally shows an unfazed blank expression that indicates the supposed enemy or danger does not affect him, paralleling Saitama 's emotionless gaze, as well as the nonexistent effort he puts into a majority of his fights with Tiger and Demon-level monsters. However, when he battled Garou he took on a much more serious demeanor and looked enraged as he declared he would put an end to Garou's monster play.

Darkshine during his childhood

As a child, Darkshine lacked self-confidence, being poor at sports and losing in every game he played. This changed after years of weight training, allowing him to reach a level of heavy lifting that defied quantification. Through his many battles and flawless victories, he gained immense self-confidence, adopting a confident, albeit somewhat arrogant, personality that concealed his previous meekness. His impressive muscles seem to bolster his ego; when confronted by Garou, the hero hunter claimed Darkshine only played the part of a hero while being an egotistical jerk. Garou's words significantly affected Darkshine, making him realize he had never fought a battle he didn't believe he could win, leading to a momentary emotional downfall. This was temporarily halted when Sweet Mask and other heroes reinvigorated his spirit during the fight with Psykos and Orochi , helping him regain his earlier confidence. However, his self-assurance waned again when Fuhrer Ugly, now covered in acid, burned his skin. A subsequent breakdown occurred upon the arrival of Golden Sperm , who was shinier and bulkier than him. By the conclusion of the Monster Association battle, Darkshine exhibits an inability to face the next fight due to fear and lack of confidence, weakening his spirit. He becomes far more humble, ceasing to show off his muscles, and loses faith in his abilities as a hero, ultimately retiring to become a training instructor for the Neo Heroes .
Despite his fight and attitude toward Garou, Darkshine is fundamentally a caring and empathetic individual. Even after his fears and insecurities resurfaced due to Garou, he showed concern for Garou when he collapsed, warning the Hero Hunter to run from the impending danger of being crushed as Tatsumaki prepared to rip the Monster Association base from the ground.


One-Punch Man

While human, his appearance was rather average, with short black hair and glasses. After monsterizing, his body became taller in stature and became rounder and more muscular. Multiple dimples appeared on his body.

Full appearance

Surprise-Attack Plum had a vindictive character, seeking revenge against the police after they arrested him for drug possession.


One-Punch Man

Sweet Mask is a young man with a tall, muscular, and lean build. He has messy shoulder-length light blue hair, with a single strand hanging down the middle of his face and yellow eyes. He is widely regarded as exceptionally handsome by the public.
He wears a white jacket over his gray shirt with a green circle necklace and black trousers.
During the invasion of the Seafolk , he was sporting a shorter hairstyle with his hair parted to the right. He is seen with long hair again when he addresses the Hero Association official and, in his most recent appearance, he is again shown with his short hair. Interestingly, Sweet Mask's eyes seem to turn from a yellow into a blood-red when extremely angered. [6]

Sweet Mask's full appearance Sweet Mask with short hair Sweet Mask's appearance during the Monster Association raid

Expand to see original webcomic information. Beware of spoiler content. Sweet Mask used to be ugly, so he did hero work in a mask to hide his face. His original costume had a mask adorned with a question mark and a cape. He only gained his beautiful appearance after transforming into a Mysterious Being due to his hatred for his ugliness. [7] During his fight with Pesky Clown , Sweet Mask revealed the face underneath his mask. His true full form is that of a hulking hunchbacked monster. [8] [9] Sweet Mask's true appearance Because of his seeming Ugmon characteristics. Sweet Mask has the ability to alternate his biophysical semblance to the point of even masking his genetic & thermal signature. [10] This would explain the differences in his appearances which some likened to plastic surgery. [11]

Sweet Mask believes that heroes exist to protect citizens, and if they fail in that duty, they must become strong enough to succeed. He is quite popular, exuding charisma, and genuinely cares for the well-being of those around him, wishing happiness for all living beings in the universe. [12] He even stresses himself over finding new ways to please his fans. [13]
However, despite his appealing facade, Sweet Mask harbors a ruthless nature. He possesses a deep-seated hatred for anything he deems evil, including those he considers accomplices. [14] He believes that anything labeled as evil must be swiftly eradicated.

Sweet Mask's darker side

This is evident when he mercilessly dispatches a group of captured aliens from the Dark Matter Thieves , claiming to serve justice. He also disregards orders to bring back an escaped caveman , opting instead to kill him. [15] Sweet Mask shows no hesitation in nearly murdering brainwashed innocents like Narinki's Private Squad or contemplating the murder of fellow heroes such as the three of Atomic Samurai's disciples . [16]
He adheres to any method that enhances the popularity of heroes, focusing solely on those in S-Class or A-Class, as they attract the most public attention. Negative reputations among these heroes could tarnish his own, prompting him to maintain his position as A-Class Rank 1 to prevent unworthy heroes from advancing to S-Class. Sweet Mask's narcissism and inflated self-image lead him to consider extreme measures, including the potential murder of S-Class heroes to conceal his failure against Fuhrer Ugly and the way he lost his composure, although he ultimately regains his self-control at the last moment. [17]

Sweet Mask's narcissistic side

He is particularly obsessed with the idea that "beauty overwhelms power," asserting that "heroes must be beautiful as well." This philosophy is evident in his admiration for worthy S-Class hero Genos, who embodies both beauty and heroic deeds. He also criticizes S-Class heroes he deems unworthy, wanting to subordinate them while filling in as team leader during the Monster Association raid. [18]
Sweet Mask's disdain extends to those who succumb to the evil he detests. His blend of hatred for monsters, coupled with his sense of beauty and justice, fosters a condescending attitude towards others, reinforcing his self-righteousness. [19] He questions Zombieman 's humanity during an S-Class hero meeting, expressing skepticism about his abilities and why he cannot die. [20]
Despite these negative traits, Sweet Mask genuinely wants to fight evil and help people. It's implied that fame has clouded his original motivations for becoming a hero. This is demonstrated when he expresses admiration for King after learning he fought monsters alone all night. [21] Later, when contemplating killing S-Class heroes to hide his failure during the Monster Association Raid, he recalls being saved by the number one hero, Blast , which triggers a moment of self-reflection. This memory compels him to regain control and remember the importance of self-control. [22] He has also been willing to help who he believes is a regular person to get away from the battle with the monsters, aiding an injured Metal Bat while also attempting to save Flashy Flash from what he assumed to be Manako trying to kill him.

Expand to see original webcomic information. Beware of spoiler content. However, in the original webcomic, after witnessing the defeat of Garou by Saitama , his viewpoint changes and becomes more focused on the overwhelming power of the individual than beauty alone. [23] Sweet Mask wholeheartedly believes in a grand justice that will illuminate the world, and a hero who represents a great hope that everyone can see and latch onto. [24] His plan is to have Saitama be the symbol he envisions. [25] His intense hatred for ugliness originates from his own past, as he once had an ugly face and wore a mask out of shame. This deep-seated hatred for his own appearance transformed him into a Mysterious Being. Before this transformation, he strived to cultivate inner beauty and adhere to strict moral principles, even engaging in community service, like picking up litter, though his efforts went largely unnoticed. However, after becoming handsome, his popularity soared. He initially viewed the public as vain for being blinded by outward beauty, but realized that he'd become just like them. [26] Sweet Mask reveals that his transformation is corrupting him, giving rise to a more ruthless and bloodthirsty side that diminishes his humanity. While killing monsters has allowed him to maintain a semblance of humanity, it has also made him increasingly merciless. If faced with choices where he can only save one side, he would unhesitatingly sacrifice the group with fewer members, pretending to struggle with the decision. He fears that he will ultimately reduce justice to a mere symbol, losing all understanding of what it means to be human. [27] Despite his vain and self-serving traits, Sweet Mask exhibits a degree of selflessness; in front of the public, he willingly transformed into his monster form to defeat Pesky Clown, fully aware that doing so would end his career as both a hero and an idol. [28]


One-Punch Man

Swim is a young girl with short brown hair, brown eyes and a perpetual blush on her cheeks. Her civilian attire consist of a blue shirt under a yellow sweater and blue shorts. Her hero attire consists of a wetsuit, scuba googles and a utility belt. She also wields a trident as a weapon.

After the incident, she shortly considered to quit her hero duty but regained her confidence. She is a great admirer of Fubuki and hopes to become a member of the Blizzard Group someday.


One-Punch Man

His only appearance is shown as a black and shadowy figure, similar to everyone else in Garou's flashbacks.

A typical bully who happened to be popular, Tacchan always picks on social outcasts in his class, with Garou being his frequent victim. Despite his reputation of being a bully, or more likely an attribute to it, he is in fact cowardly since he relies on the number of his friends to take on others whom try to stand up to him, as shown when he asked two of whom to restrain Garou.
He is also shown to be likable and charming enough to make teachers favor him, to the point of making one blind about the severity of Tacchan's actions. In the end, Tacchan proves himself to be a selfish, heartless individual who cruelly enjoyed the suffering of others he inflicted it on, and would use those of a lower social status and his natural charisma to avoid the consequences.

In addition, he is rather intelligent and manipulative, quickly bending the mentality of a crowd to attack Saitama after the damage caused by a meteor to Z-City .
However, despite possessing a confrontational attitude and demeanor, he is also a coward deep down; best shown when he begged Saitama to spare him upon realizing he was out of his league while admitting to everyone that he lied about Saitama being a villain.
