Back when we had tea, I thought, 'Man, what's this guy's deal?'

But you were actually a pretty cool guy, weren't you?

...This is your big chance. If you finish me off right now... you'll become a famous hero overnight

To be here for the birth of the ideal hero, it's an honor... Heh.

Still going on about that? You really don't quit, do you?

Page 3-4

Look at me. It's already too late for me.

Please, I'm begging you... (頼む, alternatively "I'm counting on you")

You’ve still got a future waiting for you.

Page 5-6

You're getting more and more interesting!

Saitama-kun...

It’s dangerous! Get away!

Page 7-8

How’s that!?

The power of a monster like me pretty incredible, isn’t it?

If you don’t fight back, your skull’s gonna crack!

So, what’s your move, huh!?

...Hold on tight.

Page 9-10

DON!

You’ll be the one to become that ideal hero you dream of.

And now, our news story.

Page 11-12

Authorities report the incident took place today around 4 PM in the city.

Multiple eyewitnesses claim that the famous hero ‘Handsome Mask’ was, in fact, a monster.

Officials are reviewing footage and investigating what really happened.

In response, the Hero Association has stated it will make a fair and thorough review based on the allegations.

Public outcry demanding his execution…

They’ve confirmed the video wasn't doctored.

The one who disappeared with Amai Mask during the incident has since returned safely. He claims to not know where he went.

This has become a huge problem, a massive blow to us. Some sponsors are already threatening to demand damages to their reputation.

Page 13-14

Some witnesses say he was helping rescue victims at the scene.

You really trust testimony from people like that?

Yeah. Those testimonies are from the former private Narinki unit that was completely useless in the Monster Association operation.

Not a single person realized what he really was…

He sat there all calm, working among us at HQ, pretending to be one of us… what a terrifying monster.

He's likely just trying to score points with us, get reinstated, and land himself a cushy position.

I see. How very theatrical of him.

So, what’s the Association’s next move?

The politicians and influential figures who were riding his popularity util now will drop him fast. Sponsors will start looking for a new golden boy.

We’ll need to start sending out scouts again, but it’s not going well.

They all say they’ve already signed elsewhere.

That new organization, huh? …they’re becoming a real thorn in our side.

Page 15-16

Blast is basically MIA as usual...

The fact that Amai Mask was affiliated with us was a strength, but now...

Enough! I don’t want to hear his name again!

Heh…

Well, let's take a look at the heroes' official statements and how they're handling this.

[Phone Screen]: Regarding the recent incident...

"If he were really a dangerous monster, I should’ve been able to tell by his smell..."

[Caption]: Even Watchdog Man couldn’t tell.

"It's an ongoing investigation." "As such, I have no further comments on the matter until we’ve confirmed the details."

[Caption]: Zombieman, choosing his words.

Personally, I still believe there was some justice in his actions. "Speaking for myself..." "...I believe his actions were true to the Tanktop."

[Caption]: A cryptic statement as well...

Those were the comments from Hero Association heroes, but they all seemed rather vague.

Mr. Iwagakane, as our commentator, what did you make of that? "I haven’t got a clue."

And now, let's hear from the heroes of the new organization, the Neo Heroes.

[Caption]: Meanwhile, the heroes of the NEO HEROES...

Page 17-18

A-san: "Sincerity and trust - that is our motto."

"The Neo Heroes’ focus on technology exists precisely to uphold those ideals. Our member oversight is, of course, flawless.

Whether it’s Mr. Amai or the Hero Association... The professional heroes are a complete failure.

Huh? You want me to comment on him and the Hero Association?

Yes, camera’s rolling.

And.. action!

Ahem.

Amai Mask!

Ermmmm... I don’t really know if you were actually a monster or not, but if you didn’t do anything wrong as a hero, you wouldn’t have any reason to run or hide, right?

Page 19-20

Quit sneaking around! Be a man and face us with your head held high! The Hero Association might buy it, but real heroes won’t be fooled!

OK, that’s a wrap. Thank you very much.

Fuu

Nice delivery. You got as close to the edge as you could.

I just said what came to mind.

That concludes the comments from the Neo Heroes.

Strong words from them! Mr. Majikami, your thoughts?

"Seriously legendary."

I could’ve sworn you two hated each other.

My little sister loved getting his autograph, that's all.

Please don't climb up that tree

It is way to tall

And your way too small

Oh oh Amara

That branch is so high you can barely reach

How can you run off in your new dress with your bare feet?

you will fall and hurt yourself

The shame will make you want to disappear as well

You are my burning flesh

Like the naked flesh of summer nights

You are my homeland

You, with the green reflections of your eyes

You, tall and victorious

You are my nostalgia

Of known inaccessible

In the same moment

In which I grab you
