ExpandThis dropdown contains the synopsis of Deep Sea King’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Sea Monsters Arc After Stinger defeats his underlings in J-City, the Deep Sea King emerges from the sea and downs the hero with one punch. He then goes after the A-Class hero Lightning Max. Lightning Max attacks the Deep Sea King, but his attack has no effect. The Deep Sea King then punches him, sending him flying into a building across the street. The Deep Sea King gives chase and shows up just as Lightning Max recovers himself and kicks the monster in the face, which has no effect. The Deep Sea King punches him out of the building onto the street below. Before he can hit the ground, the S-Class hero Puri-Puri Prisoner catches him. Sonic appears with the hero, the two of them having escaped from Smelly Lid Prison. Puri-Puri Prisoner challenges the Deep Sea King to a fight and powers himself up to "half power", which causes his sweater to rip, infuriating him. The Deep Sea King lands a hard blow on the hero's face, but Puri-Puri Prisoner strikes back in turn and follows the attack with an uppercut that sends Deep Sea King flying. The monster heals himself. Puri-Puri Prisoner is left damaged and off-balance from the short skirmish and decides to go full power by "transforming", which causes his muscles to expand and his clothes to rip off. Puri-Puri Prisoner attacks the Deep Sea King with a combination attack, but the monster defends himself from the blows. He retaliates with his own combination attack, which ends with a kick that sends Puri-Puri Prisoner crashing through a building. Sonic then challenges the Deep Sea King to a fight, who then rushes forward and attempts to punch Sonic who easily dodges the punch. The Deep Sea King then attempts to attack Sonic several more times, with Sonic dodging the attacks and eventually landing a kick on the Deep Sea King's face. The Deep Sea King sends his moray after Sonic from his mouth, but Sonic snaps the monster's jaw shut, causing him to bite off the appendage. The Deep Sea King then attempts to use a chain punch on Sonic, who easily dodges and jumps at the Deep Sea King, attacks him and lands on the roof of a nearby building, but when he looks back, the Deep Sea King is laughing. The Deep Sea King then launches himself at Sonic and crashes into the roof of the building, with Sonic barely being able to dodge in time. After dodging away from Deep Sea King's attack, Sonic jumps off to a different building, but before he has a chance to do anything, Deep Sea King shows up. Deep Sea King then reveals that after he'd left the sea his body had shrivelled up, but thanks to the rain, he is able to return to his true form. Sonic then attempts to run away, but Deep Sea King follows him and eventually catches him, and crushes him, or so it would seem. However, when Deep Sea King opens his hand only Sonic's clothes remain. Sonic then appears on a nearby roof naked, vowing that the next time the two would meet would be their last, after which he leaves. Deep Sea King then decides to head out again. Sensing a large number of life forms in the distance, the Deep Sea King heads out and finds J-City's evacuation center. The Deep Sea King then smashes his way through the wall of the structure with ease, but before he can do anything C-Class hero All Back-Man steps forward to attempt to negotiate with the Deep Sea King. The Deep Sea King is amused by the hero's attempts, stating that the only thing he really wants is to hear some really nice death screams. At this point, All Back-Man loses it, wets himself and is about to completely break down when the heroes Jet Nice Guy, Bunbun Man, and Sneck step forward to help buy some time for higher-ranked heroes to arrive. Jet Nice Guy charges forward to attack but Deep Sea King quickly dispatches him. Sneck then orders the remaining heroes to attack on count of three but before Sneck can finish the count Deep Sea King attacks, quickly defeating Bunbun Man and All Back-Man with the first strike and Sneck, having dodged the first attack, is taken out by the second. Boasting and laughing over the fallen heroes, Deep Sea King is then met by an enraged Genos, who delivers a devastating blow to the Deep Sea King's face, launching him out of the shelter and through several buildings. Furious, the Deep Sea King returns and catches Genos off guard with a destructive punch to the head whilst also holding onto Genos's arm, ripping it from his body. Genos, worried that he might not win, orders all of the remaining civilians to evacuate the shelter, but Deep Sea King exclaims that all humans are his prey and that none will escape. Deep Sea King is then met with a powerful kick from Genos but he is prepared for the attack and he simultaneously retaliates with a punch. The Deep Sea King and Genos then trade blows for some time until a little girl who was evacuating yells back to Genos, urging him to hang in there. Upon hearing this, an annoyed Deep Sea King spits acid at the child, stating that brats should keep quiet and melt away. Left with no other choice, Genos throws his body into the path of the acid spit, saving the little girl but damaging his body greatly. Taking advantage of this, the Deep Sea King grabs Genos by the head and throws him into a nearby wall and then quickly follows-up with a devastating punch that sends Genos through the wall and out onto the street. Standing over a heavily damaged Genos, the Deep Sea King admonishes him for his selflessness, but goes on to praise him for managing to injure the Deep Sea King, despite the fact that the injury had already healed. Before the Deep Sea King could finish off Genos, he is attacked from behind by Mumen Rider. Though the attack had no effect, the Deep Sea King turns to meet this new challenger. Mumen Rider charges forward with a punch, but the Deep Sea King easily blocks it and then grabs Rider and proceeds to flail him around like a rag-doll. The Deep Sea King then tosses Rider away and, thinking the C-Class hero was defeated, turns back to Genos to deliver the final blow. However, before the Deep Sea King can do so, Mumen Rider is back on his feet, and, despite heavy injuries and knowing full well he can't do anything, attacks once more, only to be swatted away by an extremely annoyed Deep Sea King. Fed up, at last, the Deep Sea King delivers one final blow to Mumen Rider, knocking him right into the arms of the newly arrived Saitama. Enraged by a comment from the confident Saitama, Deep Sea King delivers a blow to the back of Saitama's head, but it appears that the attack does little more than annoy the bald hero. The Deep Sea King comments on Saitama's impressive durability considering that all the other heroes before him fell so easily, but Sea King is infuriated when Saitama states that Deep Sea King's blow was just so damn weak. The Deep Sea King goes on to boast about his title as king of the sea, but is further annoyed when Saitama tries to rush his monologue. Deep Sea King unleashes a powerful blow, but is cut short by Saitama's own attack which blows a hole through the seafolk's body and creates a massive shock-wave that stops the rain. The Deep Sea King then falls to the ground, defeated at last. Bonus Chapter: Disaster Level The Deep Sea King makes a cameo appearance when talking about disaster levels. Audiobook: Genos, Training Dr. Kuseno develops the Virtual Genocide System (VGS), a piece of headgear that reads brainwaves and simulates battles between the wearer and monster data stored in the VGS. Genos uses these simulated battles to gauge his abilities and gain experience. Genos simulates a fight with the Deep Sea King in his hydrated form and defeats the monster with Machine Gun Blow and Incineration Cannon.
