'One Punch Man' News and Spoilers: What is the Monsters Association?
A Look Behind The Enigmatic Monster Association, It's Leader and Members!
Greetings fellow One-Punch Man fanatics! We've uncovered new leads from the webcomic series regarding the most enigmatic organization, the Monster Association. That's right! It's the archnemesis of the Heroes Association and we've learned a bit from it from a much reliable source: the original One-Punch man webcomic series. Take note that it's the first original release of 'One' and where most of the manga and anime series were adapted. So let's get down to business.
The Monsters Association was first introduced to Garou in the Human Monster Saga by two unknown men which claimed to be part of the said organization. Garou, who has been fighting his way to become the best monster in the world, peaked the interest of the association which is presumed to have been created by Psykos.
In One Punch Man Original Webcomic, which was the original series of the manga, the organization was founded by Psykos, a former colleague and friend of Fubiki, the B-class Rank 1 hero which is the younger sister of Tatsumaki, the current S-class Rank 2 hero.
In the original webcomic, Psykos and the Monster Association was introduced in Monster Association Arc which comprises of 17 members including Psykos. All of the members were explicitly named later on in the Monster Raid Arc. The list contains all the known monsters in the association:
Black Sperm, Evil Natural Water, Devil Long Hair, Fuhrer Ugly, Bug God, Gums, Homeless Emperor, Senior Centipede, The Great Food Tub, Phoenix Man, Pureblood, Goddess Glasses, Hellfire, Gale, Royal Ripper Overgorwn Rover and Psykos.
Take note that despite the majority of the context being taken from the original webcomic, certain aspects where added and/or excluded in the manga. In the current Human Monster Saga, various monsters have spawn and are thought to be part of the Monster Association. With this, we can expect for some additional changes made by One in the manga as well as in the anime.
There are several 'Dragon-level threat' in the Association namely: Elder Centipede, Black Sperm, Evil Natural Water, Fuhrer Ugly, Gums, Homeless Emperor, Overgrown Rover and Psykos. So far in the manga, only the Elder Centipede has been shown.
It is expected that after the Human Monster Garou Arc, we will get to see the introduction of the full Monster Association and the action of the Heroes Association to exterminate the former. But for the current manga, it is still unclear whether or how the heroes will be able to overcome the barrage of attacks from the Tiger-threat and above level monsters simultaenously showing in various cities including City Z where Saitama is currently engaging in a martial-arts event.
This is by far the current information we have from the webcomic regarding the identity of the Monster Association and how they will take part in the future of the series. Let's just hope that Saitama will end the martial-arts event in a single blow and head out to save the world.
