Manako

Manako (マナコ, Viz: Oculette) is a monster of the Monster Association. She was then taken hostage by Saitama and Flashy Flash to lead their minecart.

Appearance
Manako is short and round, with light skin and one large eye. She also has two small horns, sharp teeth and wears a thick black belt that usually covers her mouth.

Personality
Manako has a cowardly personality, as she hides away in a restroom in the Monster Association Headquarters, planning to wait out the heroes' attack in there, and refuses to come out when another monster reports that the heroes have already started their assault. She is shown to be clearly afraid of S-Class heroes, as seen when she has an extreme reaction to seeing Flashy Flash when he breaks through the wall into the restroom she is hiding in with Saitama. She is often seen covered in sweat with every appearance, showing she is on edge and is easily scared.

When Saitama and Flashy Flash take her as a hostage to lead them to the Monster King, Manako schemes to kill them both behind their backs. Planning to take them off the tracks and into a ravine when traveling in a minecart and planning to smack Saitama on the back of the head with a rock when trapped in the rubble of the Monster Association base, fearing that if she is no longer of use to the heroes, she will be killed.

Monster Association Arc
Manako is using the restroom when Saitama and Flashy Flash came and took her hostage, using the monster to lead them to the Monster King's lair. As Manako was leading them through the tunnels, her plan was to de-rail them at a switching point to kill the heroes and herself, but chickens out when she gets closer to the broken rail and sees the vast fall.

Soon after, the trio passed through an excavation site in the Monster Association HQ. Other large mining monsters attacked them but were quickly killed by Saitama and Flashy Flash. Manako almost fell to her death but was saved by Saitama, who sacrifices the gold he was stealing from the Monster Association by doing so. A frustrated Saitama then pulls at Manako's cheeks to wake her back up after she fell unconscious from fear of falling to her death.

Later, she, Saitama, and Flashy Flash encounter the merged form of Psykos and Orochi, much to Manako's terror. When the merged monster tries to absorb Saitama, it slips off his shiny bald head. It is then punched, causing Psykos' portion to momentarily disappear while Flashy Flash and Manako watch on with blank stares. When Tatsumaki pulls the Monster Association Headquarters out of the ground, Manako, Flashy Flash, and Saitama are nearly buried but Saitama saves them. In spite of this, the trio is left in complete darkness afterward. However Manako thinks that once she has outlived her usefulness Saitama will kill her. In a bid to knock him out she lifts a large rock from the wall and it reveals Flashy Flash has been behind that rock the whole time, trapped under the rubble. She is so startled by this her eye lights up which gives the heroes full visibility of the area. Saitama under the orders of the immobilized Flashy Flash asks for a light.

Abilities and Powers
Enhanced Strength: Manako can lift fairly large rocks with ease.

Luminescence: Manako can create a large bright light through her one eye, allowing her to be able to move when surrounded in complete darkness. It is strong enough to blind the eyes of S-Class heroes.

Trivia

 * Manako (眼) means eyeball.
