Hero Saitama and his cyborg disciple Genos apply to join the Hero Association by doing a physical and written exam. Within the Hero Association, there is a letter class ranking. With these rankings comes discrimination and rivalries between the heroes. The volume begins to build upon of the members of the hero association's abilities, which range from normal people that have a strong sense of justice to heroes with superhuman abilities. Saitama's rival who is a ninja assassin, Sonic, returns to engage in a fight with him.
Volume 3 of 'One-Punch Man' , by Yusuke Murata adds exciting world building to the plot because of the addition of the
hero association. What was most enjoyable about this volume was the action
because of how the art portrays the overwhelming ability of the characters. My
first impressions of the new side characters was neutral, but the building on
the main characters and antagonists was fun and comedic. I rate it '7.85/10',
the same as the previous volume, because it lived up to the same enjoyable art,
story progression, and comedy, and only lacked in its introduction of some side
characters.
Score: 7.85/10
