One Punch Man Manga Online Chapter 52

The chapter begins with the Hero Association reacting to Garou’s increasing threat. In response to recent attacks, they decide that association staff and sponsors must now be protected by assigned heroes at all times. Meanwhile, Garou is seen in his hideout, studying a wall covered with photos of various heroes—his next targets. Elsewhere, King, publicly known as the world’s strongest man, pretends to be on a monster-hunting mission but is actually just enjoying a video game session at home, completely unaware of the chaos outside.

At the same time, the hero Metal Bat is reluctantly assigned to protect a wealthy sponsor named Narinki and his bratty son Waganma during a meal at a sushi restaurant. Though he’s annoyed by the task, he has no choice but to accept. The story then cuts to Garou in action as he continues his hero-hunting campaign. He takes down Mumen Rider and several other low to mid-level heroes, overwhelming them with his brutal and calculated fighting style. Despite their bravery, they are no match for Garou’s strength and martial arts prowess.

While all of this unfolds, Saitama remains hilariously unaware of the turmoil brewing around him. His main focus is still on getting ready for the martial arts tournament, casually shopping for wigs and preparing his disguise to enter the competition.
