One Punch Man: Road to Hero

Bundled with the tenth volume of One Punch-Man manga.

While Saitama is training to become a hero, he needs one more thing before he can become a real hero. The origins of his hero suit is revealed.

Race: Human Age: 25 Height: 175 cm (5'9") Weight: 70 kg (154 lbs) Location: Z-City Abilities: Superhuman physical powers Occupation: Superhero Level:  C-Class (Rank 388 - 342 - 5 - 1) B-Class (Rank 101 - 63 -33 - 7) A-Class (Rank 39) Affiliation: Hero Association Partner(s): Genos  Saitama is the most powerful hero alive. Having apparently trained himself to superhuman condition, Saitama faces an existential crisis as he is now too powerful to gain any thrill from his heroic deeds.  He is registered with the Heroes Association as a C-Class Superhero and is tasked to defend Z-City against Mysterious Beings.  Saitama is usually deliberately drawn in a simpler style than other characters, with a very rounded head and only a simple mouth and eyes. When drawn in a more 'action-oriented' style with more detail, Saitama is revealed to have sharp features, dangerous looking eyes, and chiseled musculature. His costume is a plain yellow jumpsuit with a short zipper at the collar and a belt. The costume is finished out by an ensemble of red boots and gloves, and a white cape.  For a superhero, Saitama is rather laid back. Because even the mightiest foes pose no challenge to him, he doesn't take his hero work very seriously. In spite of this, he is constantly searching for an opponent that can challenge him, since his superhero work is beginning to bore him because it's too easy. The combination of his attitude, unstoppable strength, and distinctively simple and 'unimpressive' appearance often cause his battles to become anticlimactic. Saitama will usually allow his opponents to rant about their motives and power up into their strongest forms before suddenly and nonchalantly obliterating them with one punch.

Genos sometimes sports new black mechanical arms, during the time when he sparred with Saitama, and during the time on preparing to stop a giant meteor, he equipped more block-shaped, black mechanical arms along with a small headgear.  Genos is an extremely serious character. He has a strong drive to get stronger than he is, and pesters Saitama to train him frequently.  (Source: One Punch-Man Wikia)

Genos

Gofukuya

 She is a short, elderly lady with short grey hair and wrinkles. She wears a purple jacket over her yellow turtleneck and wears sandals.  
Somewhat of a cold blooded woman, she has absolutely no qualms about hosting a gang of criminals in her building so long as they pay their rents on time. She became enraged enough with Saitama for defeating the criminals for their bounties that she kicked him out after taking all of the money he earned.  
She came to visit her tenant Saitama, to collect the rent. After Saitama tells her he would pay later, she informs him he hadn't paid his rent in three months and would kick him out if he doesn't quickly. After Saitama defeated some criminals, she angrily informs him that they were her tenents and main source of revenue and promptly kicks Saitama out on the streets.  One Punch-Man Wikia

One Punch Man

The seemingly ordinary and unimpressive Saitama has a rather unique hobby: being a hero. In order to pursue his childhood dream, he trained relentlessly for three years—and lost all of his hair in the process. Now, Saitama is incredibly powerful, so much so that no enemy is able to defeat him in battle. In fact, all it takes to defeat evildoers with just one punch has led to an unexpected problem—he is no longer able to enjoy the thrill of battling and has become quite bored.

This all changes with the arrival of Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg, who wishes to be Saitama's disciple after seeing what he is capable of. Genos proposes that the two join the Hero Association in order to become certified heroes that will be recognized for their positive contributions to society, and Saitama, shocked that no one knows who he is, quickly agrees. And thus begins the story of One Punch Man, an action-comedy that follows an eccentric individual who longs to fight strong enemies that can hopefully give him the excitement he once felt and just maybe, he'll become popular in the process.
