Chapter 25

Glimmer of Hope (不安定な希望, Fuanteina Kibō) is the twenty-fifth chapter of the OnePunch-Man manga series.

Part 1
License-less Rider has just arrived to J-City and is talking on the phone with the Hero Association. He is told to rush to the emergency center. As the License-less Rider rides off to the shelter, he drops his phone. Saitama ends up picking the phone and talks to one of the Hero Association assistants. The assistant is initially reluctant to tell Saitama where the monster is, but after looking over Saitama's record, he changes his mind. The heroes at the emergency shelter are quickly defeated by the Sea King. However, Genos soon arrives and starts fighting with the Sea King.

Part 2
Genos launches the Sea King out of the emergency shelter, but also creates another large hole. Unfortunately, the Sea King immediately recovers from Genos's punch and retaliates by attacking Genos when Genos is distracted by the crowd. The Sea King is able to rip Genos's arm off and knock him towards a wall. Genos tells everyone to get out of shelter while he holds off the Sea King. During their battle, one of the children cheers on Genos, this annoys the Sea King and causes him to launch a spit of acid at the child. Genos is just barely able to get in front of the spit in time preventing it from harming the child.
