Nothing about Saitama passes the eyeball test when it comes to superheroes, from his lifeless expression to his bald head to his unimpressive physique. However, this average-looking guy has a not-so-average problem—he just can’t seem to find an opponent strong enough to take on! To stop a Demon-level crisis, Saitama and company head toward the action. However, even Class-S heroes prove to be no match for the Deep Sea King! In order to protect the good citizens, our heroes will need to summon all of their courage and confront this threat! Review: Some Worldbuilding and Awesome Moments - In volume five of *One-Punch Man*, we are introduced to a couple of story elements. These are the incompetence of the Hero Association, which in turn leads to Saitama having to choose to purposely take it on the chin to protect the prestige of the Hero Association (in order to protect the honor of the other heroes). We also have the first arc with a real sense of danger to it. What I mean by the last is that before it was just Saitama or Saitama and Genos kicking ass, and even when Genos was in trouble, Saitama was right there. In this volume with the second half of the brief "Invasion of the Sea Folk" arc, the stakes seem more real as Genos, Mumen Rider, and others will truly *die* if someone strong enough to defeat the Sea King doesn't show up. Only Saitama and probably Tornado are strong enough to do so. He's on his way and she is not anywhere near there to show up in time. Oh, in the end, it was still a one-punch kill, as one expects, but that's not the drama. In a move that mirrors the *Superman* comics in the West, the drama comes from other elements. In this case it is if Saitama can get there in time. He does, of course, but it's still a cool story and had some serious elements in this and other ways that show the author is taking us beyond gags and into building an actual story in the universe of *OPM*. This relates to the other two points, in that Saitama is forced to publicly act in a way that turns the public against himself in order to keep the prestige of the other Heroes intact. It's largely due to the incompetence of the Hero Association that he was forced to do this and it's not fun to see. This is hard to watch, and I think Genos speaks for us all when he doesn't like this, but supports Saitama's decision. All of this, along with how Saitama reacts to his friend Genos, as well as Mumen Rider - who he knows is a good guy - getting hurt show us both the true character of Saitama and some development along those limes. Yes, he is selfish, lazy and kinda childish at times, but he honestly does care about his friend, and he doesn't like seeing folks in pain. He's also self-sacrificial in that he expects to be fired for his embarrassment to the HA he invoked on behalf of the other heroes, but did it anyway because he felt it was right. To his surprise, he is promoted. These elements of his character were already there, but I think were deepened by his time with Genos. While the broad use of comedy in the series since the beginning is cool, and stays for certain, the manga couldn't continue to captivate without some introduction of world-building, myth arcs, and such. It eventually had to grow, yet such growth would not be nearly as satisfying if it came at the expense of the humor and light-hearted parts. In this volume, the creators managed to balance out the growth of the manga's plot with the elements that made it a fun read before. One part I liked was really how cool in a moral and courageous sort of way that Mumen Rider is. He is entirely normal except for the ability to take massive punishment and heal quickly. Heh, maybe he's NOT so normal, or maybe he is and science is farther along in this fictional context? Regardless, he can't do anything else of any "super" ability. But what he does do and can do is to fight for others so they can live longer. In one of the best scenes in the entire series so far, if ever, he is fighting the Deep Sea King and he knows he is screwed. He can't possibly win and will likely die. But maybe he can keep people alive a little longer. It's all he can do, but he does it anyways. That's right. He fights (or tries to, anyway) the bad guy knowing he will lose and likely die. He does it anyway because that's who he is. He may lack powers, but he has so much heart. And you know what? He succeeds! It was his being a willing punching bag that distracted the villain from a badly-hurt Genos (whose injury was his own awesome sacrifice) and other morally-wounded heroes the Deep Sea King was going to kill, and then by the time Mumen Rider was finished, Saitama arrived. The sheer awesomeness, heartwarming moments (often the two overlapped), and growth in the story made this volume just so worth reading and one I HIGHLY Recommend. 5/5 Stars. Review: Love this manga series!!! - Haven't read this volume yet bc I'm waiting for the 4th one to come in the mail, it had a longer wait on it for some reason than this one but I have read the first 3 volumes and I am hooked. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #41,247 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #113 in Teen & Young Adult Manga (Books) #461 in Shonen Manga (Books) #773 in Action & Adventure Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 2,468 Reviews | ## Images ![One-Punch Man, Vol. 5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81S8hEPwtaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some Worldbuilding and Awesome Moments *by M***N on September 14, 2017* In volume five of *One-Punch Man*, we are introduced to a couple of story elements.

This volume covers the rest of the Deep Sea King arc. The arc wisely allows several heroes new and old take on the Sea King before Saitama arrives. My personal favorite of which is Mumen Rider and is also on the cover. Even though this one pretty serious compared to the rest of the series, there is still plenty comedy. As with the rest of One Punch Man the fights can get a bit brutal. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/24445326-one-punch-man-vol-5](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/24445326-one-punch-man-vol-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
