Ep. 7

Summary

Source-backed · Version: v1 · Original

A meteor suddenly changes course toward City Z, creating a disaster too large for normal evacuation. Genos responds alongside veteran martial artist Bang, while Metal Knight arrives mainly to test a new weapons system. Metal Knight's missiles fail, and Genos pours all remaining energy into his own cannon without changing the meteor's path. Saitama reaches the scene at the final moment and shatters the object with one punch. The city is spared a direct impact, but countless fragments cause enormous property damage. No one dies, yet public anger focuses on the destruction rather than the lives saved. Saitama's rank rises sharply, drawing the hostility of Tanktop Tiger and Tanktop Black Hole. They persuade a crowd that he stole credit and caused the damage through reckless action. After defeating the brothers, Saitama openly tells the crowd that he did not become a hero for their approval and will not apologize for saving them. Genos admires his refusal to perform false humility. The crisis confirms Saitama's ability to stop a city-ending threat, but official rankings and popular opinion still distort what happened. Meanwhile, strange creatures gather near the sea, signaling that another disaster is already beginning.
