One-Punch Man Episode 10: Unparalleled Peril

The episode opens with **Tatsumaki (Terrible Tornado)** confronting the **Ancient King**, ruler of the Terror Lizard Clan, in a snowy mountain region. Before their battle can truly begin, she receives an urgent call summoning her back to base due to a new threat. The Ancient King boasts that only a giant meteor could kill him, but Tatsumaki casually drops one from outer space using her psychic powers, destroying him.

Meanwhile, at **Bang's dojo**, Saitama and Genos meet a student named **Charanko**, who challenges them but instantly surrenders when Genos grabs him by the throat. Bang explains that his former top student, **Garou**, went mad and severely beat all his other strong students, hospitalizing them and forcing many to quit. Charanko is now the best student by default since no one else remains.

The Hero Association suddenly calls an emergency meeting for all S-Class heroes. Saitama, Genos, and Bang head to the HQ, where **Sitch** briefs the assembled heroes that the situation is perilous with no guarantee of survival. He also reveals that **Madam Shibabawa**, a great seer, died while choking on a cough pill during a coughing fit—she had been predicting a catastrophic future threat.

The meeting is interrupted when the HQ is attacked by **Skyfolk**, who are quickly killed by **Melzargard**, a member of an alien faction called the Dark Matter Thieves. A massive alien spacecraft then appears and devastates A-City, destroying approximately 99% of it and causing massive casualties. The Hero Association HQ remains standing due to its reinforced construction by Metal Knight.

**Iaian**, a student of **Atomic Samurai**, engages Melzargard in combat but loses his entire left arm in a single blow. Before Melzargard can finish him, **Atomic Samurai** arrives and takes over the battle. Melzargard splits into five separate creatures, one for each of his heads, but Atomic Samurai shatters them with a flash of his blade. The five heads then recombine into a single unified being with five eyes and teeth.

**Metal Bat**, **Bang**, and **Puri-Puri Prisoner** arrive to assist. Puri-Puri Prisoner unleashes a new technique called the **"Dark Angel Rush"** with lethal intent. Meanwhile, **Tatsumaki** refuses help from Genos and insists on dealing with the alien ship alone, despite Genos offering his firepower for a ground-based attack. **Superalloy Blackluster** warns Genos not to anger Tatsumaki, as doing so could get him killed.

Saitama, already at the scene before the other heroes, breaks into the alien ship and begins fighting the aliens inside while causing damage to the vessel in an attempt to bring it down. The episode ends with the crisis still unfolding and the heroes engaged in multiple simultaneous battles against the alien threat.
