The city is divided. The monster threat looms large, and the citizens don’t all have our heroes’ backs. Protest signs on the streets wielded by the \u201cMonster Worship Party\u201d read \u201cObey the monsters\u201d and \u201cCooperate with the monsters.\u201d Their proposed solution to the monster problem? To offer up sacrifices at regular intervals to the monsters to appease and satiate them. Call it portion control.<\/p>\n Into this scene strolls Garou \u2013 increasingly likeable in his brooding internal conflict \u2013 who finds himself unimpressed and frustrated by the protestors’ attempts at sucking up to their oppressors. If they’re already grovelling like this, what hope does he have of making a serious impact?<\/p>\n Well, the serious impact can wait. Like the Yakuza series\u2019 Kazuma Kiryu, Garou decides to pass up a streetside scrap in favour of a meal, taking a seat in a restaurant for a nice steak. And another steak. And a salad. And a drink. Turns out hunting heroes works up quite an appetite.<\/p>\n Saitama is at his most unhinged in his expressions in this episode, and it finally feels like J.C.Staff has remembered the appeal of the series\u2019 characters.<\/p>\n Also enjoying a hearty meal out is Saitama, who appears to have misplaced his wallet. Did he leave it in the grocery store earlier? No clue. Well, he could call his friends. Nope, they’re broke too. Here we\u2019re served up prime One Punch Man<\/a> situation comedy, as our hero finds himself desperate to avoid turning to criminal ends to escape his predicament.<\/p>\n Saitama is at his most unhinged in his expressions in this episode, and it finally feels like J.C.Staff has remembered the appeal of the series\u2019 characters, as everyone internally monologues, forgets what they were meant to be doing, and crosses paths at the most individually inopportune moments. It\u2019s all a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<\/a>Garou having a bite.<\/p>\n
