Monster Association


The Monster Association (怪人協会, Kaijin Kyōkai) is a group of Mysterious Beings led by Gyoro Gyoro and Monster King Orochi. Their base is beneath Z-City's deserted area.[1]

Overview

File:Executives.png

Several executives with Orochi in the background

The Monster Association consists of around 500 monsters,[2] about 30 of which are disaster level Demon or higher.[3] The boss (ボス, Bosu) is the Monster King, Orochi, although the organization is actually overseen by the military advisor (参謀, Sanbō), Gyoro Gyoro. Below them in ranks are the executives (幹部, Kanbu) who are specially promoted by Gyoro Gyoro.[4]

The Monster Association is founded on the belief that one monster alone will eventually fall, but all of them together can defeat the heroes.[5][6] Many monsters believe that they are stronger than the heroes; Gyoro Gyoro has to remind them that this will be their downfall,[7] though sometimes she uses this to her advantage.[8][9] 

The goal of the Monster Association is to end the Hero Association and create a world of monsters ruled by Monster King Orochi.[10] However, most members only joined forces for the former and do not view Orochi as their king,[11] but they do acknowledge his great power.[12] The plan is to lure the Hero Association into a decisive showdown.[13] There are three primary objectives that are required to make this plan feasible:[14]

  1. Strike fear to the human population through monster rampage.
  2. Kidnapping important hostages that are vital to the operation of the Hero Association.
  3. Transform powerful humans into monsters to boost military strength of the organization.

New monsters are recruited by offering Monster Cells to strong humans, such as the martial artists of Super Fight.[15] Whoever eats the cells transform into a monster, but it has to be eaten raw.[16] Typically they are eaten one per person, as eating more can result in failure and death.[17] A Dragon-level monster born from the Monster Cells is considered a "huge success."[18] Other monsters can join the Monster Association by going to the base beneath Z-City and meet with Gyoro Gyoro.[19][20]

Disaster level is everything to the Monster Association.[21] Gyoro Gyoro assesses each member and assigns them a level.[22] The executives are monsters that earned the level of Dragon.[23][24] Lesser monsters have the utmost respect for the executives and fear provoking them.[25]

Outside of the executives, there are at least three other monsters that have reached the level of Dragon: Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame are Demon-level in their human forms,[26] and Dragon-level in their monster forms;[27] they are executive candidates but claim to not care for their ranks.[28] Phoenix Man was originally Demon-level,[29] but became Dragon-level upon resurrecting.[30]

Members are not permitted to kill each other as it will weaken the organization, although Gyoro Gyoro admits that this is difficult to enforce.[31] Many of the monsters are hostile to each other. Presumably, this only applies to strong monsters since Gyoro Gyoro herself treats weak monsters as expendables and sometimes feeds them to Orochi.[32][33] Even Demon-level monsters are not safe: Orochi ate Awakened Cockroach for losing,[34] and Gyoro Gyoro used Rhino Wrestler as bait.[35] Monsters with useful abilities, such as Do-S, are somewhat protected.[36]

History

The Monster Association is an unknown group founded by Gyoro Gyoro and Orochi. The headquarters of the Monster Association was previously the home of the Subterranean People.[37][38]

Its leader, Orochi, defeated the martial artist Gouketsu and recruited him as a member.[39]

The ninjas, Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame, joined to kill the hero Flashy Flash.

2 years ago, Elder Centipede joined to avenge his defeat against Blast.

Rumored Monster Arc

Rumors have been spreading that strong monsters have been meeting up in Z-City's ghost town and that Humans and even some Mysterious Beings were avoiding the location.[40]

Human Monster Saga

Monster Raid Arc

In S-City, Venus Mantrap and Junior Centipede were first members to attacked a sushi restaurant where the Hero Associations sponsor Narinki and his son Waganma were at.[41] Metal Bat, who was guarding them, easily defeated both monsters,[42] however Rafflesidon and Senior Centipede came erupted from the ground. Both Narinki and Waganma were knocked out by Rafflesidon's gas and prepare to fight Metal Bat.[43] Metal Bat fights the monsters, but was slightly sedated by the gases the monster released. Metal Bat, however managed to break out of its control by smashing his head and killed both monsters with one strike each.[44]

Moments later, Elder Centipede, a Dragon-level threat, emerged through the ground.[45] Elder Centipede is after Narinki and avoids Metal Bat's attacks.[46] As Elder Centipede was about to catch the sponsor, he was struck by Metal Bat and tries to shake Metal Bat off by maneuvering around the city.[47] Elder Centipede managed to launch Metal Bat far away and continues to rampage through the city.[48] Just as Elder Centipede cornered the heroes Pineapple and Mohican, who were carrying the Narinki and Waganma, it was attacked by Metal Knight missiles.[49] Phoenix Man, Sludge Jellyfish and Rhino Wrestler then corner the heroes and demand the sponsor.[50] After Garou finished his fight with Metal Bat, Phoenix Man and Sludge Jellyfish discuss how they could use him to their advantage.[51]

Invitation Card

Monster Association's invitation card

After Metal Bat was knocked out by Zenko, Sludge Jellyfish tries to take her as hostage, but was struck by Garou. The monster was able to regenerate itself and Phoenix Man attempts to invite Garou into the Monster Association. Garou rudely declines by ripping up the invitation card. The monster say they'll overlook Garou's rude behavior this time and promises that they will meet again, if Garou continues to hero hunt.[52] Meanwhile Rhino Wrestler fights and defeats Pineapple and Mohican and takes Waganma as hostage. The monsters then retreat after explaining how fighting Metal Knight would only be in vain for them. Phoenix Man instructed a retreat to Elder Centipede, and him along with Rhino Wrestler were taken by the large Monster and burrowed underground, but Metal Knight managed to stick to the monster.[53]

The Monster Association has attacked many cities simultaneously:

Fist Fight Djinn is fighting the A-Class hero Smile Man, when Bang arrived at the scene. Fist Fight Djinn attempt to attack Bang, but was mercilessly killed by the S-Class hero.[60] Meanwhile, Do-S managed to defeat many heroes and was then confronted by Fubuki and her Blizzard Group.[61] Marshal Gorilla managed to defeat Heavy Kong and tells the civilians to spread the word about him.[62] Maiko Plasma and Electric Catfish Man are still fighting Lightning Genji and hospitalize him.[63] Hundred-Eyes Octopus kept devouring building and easily managed to defeat Death Gatling, Butterfly DX and Bone.[64] Eysight managed to poison Ecolo G and other heroes and is fighting Studless.[65] Pureblood managed to kill many civilians.[66]

Many monster that appeared in C-City were defeated by Genos[67] and Face Ripper later encountered the hero. Face Ripper managed to damage Genos, but was caught off guard and killed.[68] In the same city, Awakened Cockroach defeated many heroes and meets Genos in an alley.[69] On the TV, it was reported that Lightning Genji was defeated by the monsters,[70] while Awakened Cockroach managed to have an upper-hand in the fight against Genos, but was caught in an adhesive trap, but managed to escape before being struck by Genos' blast.[71]

Do-S managed to transform all of the Blizzard Group members into her love slave. While Fubuki was preoccupied by the love slaves, Do-S managed to pierce through her telekinesis and whip Fubuki.[72] Do-S manages to hit Fubuki multiple times and believing that she has Fubuki's mind under her control, she revealed her plan of using Fubuki to lure Tatsumaki out. However, Do-S was sent flying and attacked by Fubuki. Angered she decided to kill Fubuki.[73] When the area began to rumble, a monster falls in front of Do-S ans warns her about Tatsumaki. Frightened, Do-S orders her love slaves to distract Tatsumaki, while she escapes.[74]

Super Fight Arc

The Monster Association still continues their attack, Sweet Mask's concert was interrupted[75], the hospital where Mumen Rider, Tanktop Master and the Tank Topper Army were staying was attacked[76] and Nyan broke into Smelly Lid Prison in search of Puri-Puri-Prisoner.[77] At their hideout Gyoro Gyoro and Monster King Orochi were discuss their invasion and Gouketsu whereabouts. They managed to defeat S-Class heroes like Genos and Metal Knight, whose robot hanging was severely damaged and captured at Monster Association's Headquarter, and its broken pieces are hung in chains.[78]

Despite their succession, many monsters were killed by S-Class heroes. Drive Knight easily killed some members and interrogated the last living one about the invasion.[79] Child Emperor used Underdog Man No. 22 to fight Eyesight, but the monsters was later eaten by Pig God.[80] Hundred-Eyes Octopus's destruction forced to assemble an A-Class heroes team[81], but was later blinded by Flashy Flash[82] and crushed into a ball by Tatsumaki.[83] Gyoro Gyoro worries slightly about the S-Class's poweres, especially Tatsumaki, but Orochi reassures Gyoro Gyoro that it will not be a problem as they can make as many Mysterious Beings as they please.[84]

During the Council of Swordmasters meeting, called by Atomic Samurai, one of the Council members Haragiri, transformed into a Mysterious Being by injecting himself with Monster Cells and orders the others to do the same. Atomic Samurai rejected the offer and killed Haragiri.[85] Through his robot Metal Knight was able to spy on the discussion between Gyoro Gyoro and Orochi. When asked about their goals, Gyoro Gyoro simply tells him to watch and wait.[86] At the hospital the Tank Topper Army fight the monsters and protect the patients and staff members. Mumen Rider struggles against Gyoffrey, but was saved by Tanktop Master.[87]

Gouketsu and The Three Crows interrupted the closing ceremony of the Super Fight Martial Arts Tournament in an attempt to transform all of the Martial Artist into monsters.[88] Gouketsu brought one Monster Cell for each martial artist. Rosie, Choze, Benpatsu, Hamukichi and Volten all joined the Monster Association, though Rosie was quickly killed by Choze. While the other martial artist were frightened, Suiryu decided to rebel against them.[89] After Suiryu managed to defeat all of the martial artist, Gouketsu was impressed and offered Suiryu and executive position in the association. He was rejected and Gouketsu struck Suiryu down.[90]

Gouketsu then toys with Suiryu, stomping and punching the martial artist, giving him only three seconds to recover. In an attempt to win, Suiryu asks Bakuzan, the last standing martial artist for aid, Bakuzan instead ate several monster cells and collapsed on the floor, seemingly dead. Gouketsu then ordered The Three Crows to finish off Suiryu, but the Crows were later killed by Suiryu in a team effort with Lightning Max and Sneck.[91] After the Crows were killed, Gouketsu was challenged again by Sneck and Lightning Max. He easily defeated them and when Suiryu tried to leave the stadium, Bakuzan woke up from his transformation and blocked his entrance. Bakuzan then continuously strikes Suiryu on the ground.[92]

Gyoro Gyoro uses its spy drones to watch the chaos in the city and confirmed that their first objective was successful, as they also captured Waganma, the son of a Hero Associations sponsor. Phoenix Man noted they lost many monsters and asked for reinforcements, but the request was denied. The monster noted that Nyan managed to recruit several new members and Gyoro Gyoro orders Gouketsu to leave the stadium, but Gouketsu refuses. Gouketsu questions Bakuzan and tells him to go with him to the Monster Association hideout. Bakuzan refuses and fight Gouketsu. Gouketsu then warned Bakuzan about his attitude and informed him of Orochi, the strongest being on Earth. He gives Bakuzan a firm warning as he leaves the stadium for Z-City, the meeting point of the Monster Association.[93]

As Gouketsu was heading towards the hideout, Saitama came and they fought off-screen, with Gouketsu's decapitated head comes flying into the stadium and lands in front of Suiryu.[94] Free Hugger managed to slightly injure Puri-puri Prisoner, but the monster was squeezed to death by the hero.[95]
