This dropdown contains the synopsis of Crablante’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Saitama Introduction Arc Crablante meets Saitama three years before the main storyline in the middle of a street. Crablante's appearance causes everyone apart from Saitama to flee in terror. When Crablante asks why Saitama is not also running away, Saitama causually replies that since he is unemployed and unable to get a job, he feels that nothing matters anymore and that he does not feel as it even matters if he runs away. Crablante chuckles at this and says that, since he is after a different target and since Saitama's lifeless eyes remind him of his own, he is willing to spare Saitama. Crablante later appears in a park and discovers a ball-chinned kid, his target. As Crablante is about to finish the boy off, Saitama rushes in and saves the boy. It is revealed that Crablante wants revenge on the kid for defacing his body while he was sleeping in the park by drawing nipples on his chest in permanent ink. Crablante demands that Saitama either surrenders the boy or dies himself. Hearing this, Saitama bursts into a fit of laughter and quips that Crablante reminds him of a villain from an old anime that he used to watch in his childhood (possibly Crab Demon from "Justice Man"). Saitama reveals that his childhood dream was to become a superhero who could defeat villains like Crablante in a single punch. After a brief but intense fight, Saitama defeats Crablante by pulling out an eyestalk along with his internal organs, disemboweling the monster. Disaster Level Crablante appears as the example for a tiger level threat, taking 5 B Class Heroes and 1 A Class Hero to defeat him. One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows Crablante is one of the playable fighters in this game. Story wise he goes through the same events.

Trivia

• ONE: "I am often asked why use the suffix lante. Actually when I was in the lower grades in elementary school, there was this movie called Godzilla vs. Biollante, and the giant plant monster in it was called Biollante. Biollante was my favorite monster out of the whole series, so I often subconsciously add lante to the end of monster names (laugh)."
• Crablante is the first Mysterious Being to have been defeated and killed by Saitama. With his death being apart of the entire reason the Hero Association started as Saitama killing him saved Tycoon Agoni's grandchild making him want to make an association to fight against monsters.
• Crablante is the first Tiger-level threat to appear in the series.
• Despite his brief appearance, he is one of the most influential characters in the series, as his attempts at murdering a child is what inspired Saitama to begin his long training to become a strong hero. Crablante also gave Agoni the idea to create the Hero Association after the former tried to kill the latter's grandson.
• In the 2017 One-Punch Man Halloween cover, Crablante was depicted cosplaying a monsterified version of Red Riding Hood along with the simpler cosplay of Red Muffler. Crablante's basket is full of crabs, while Red Muffler's contains a bottle.
