One Punch Man Manga Online Chapter 85

Chapter 85 – “Is It Because I’m Caped Baldy?” dives into the psychological and emotional core of Saitama’s identity as a hero. After King reassures Saitama about his importance, even without recognition or excitement, Saitama begins reflecting more deeply on his boredom and dissatisfaction. He starts questioning why he feels so empty despite being the strongest hero alive. Is it because no opponent challenges him? Or because no one truly acknowledges him?

Later, Saitama encounters Superalloy Darkshine and Flashy Flash, who are preparing for the raid on the Monster Association. Their serious tone and intense preparation highlight the growing scale of the coming battle — yet Saitama, still detached, shows little concern. Amid the tension, someone questions his hero name, and Saitama casually responds with, “Is it because I’m Caped Baldy?” — a moment that sums up how little recognition and seriousness he receives, despite being the most powerful.

The chapter balances humor and introspection while continuing to build tension for the assault on the Monster Association’s base. Saitama remains a mystery to the other heroes — and to himself — as he searches for purpose in a world that can no longer challenge him.
