However, he let his guard down and severed his arm. He tells everyone to run while he distracts the monster, as victory is no longer guaranteed. He seemed to be doing just fine, until the Deep Sea King threw an acid orb at a little girl, which was intercepted by Genos, and it melted her biological body, nearly killing him.
At this moment, just before the Sea King finished Genos, Mumen Rider appeared and engaged the Deep Sea King. He was easily defeated, but refused to give up. Seeing that, everyone decided to cheer him up but to no avail. When Mumen Rider was knocked unconscious, he was aided by Saitama, who was assigned a support mission by the Association, and arrived at that moment. After exchanging a few words with the Deep Sea King, he defeated it with a single punch and was praised by the townspeople. Sonic also reappears with his weapon in another part of town, but assumes the Deep Sea King must have escaped.
