Background

Giant Meteor is a giant extraterrestrial rock that fell to Earth and threatened the destruction of Z-City and its surrounding areas. It was assigned a disaster level of Dragon. It was destroyed by Saitama.

Astronomers detect an asteroid heading toward Earth. It suddenly shifts its trajectory and aims for Z-City. All S-Class heroes are called to deal with it but only Bang, Bofoi, and Genos respond. The meteor withstands Bofoi's missiles and Genos's full-powered blast with no apparent damage. Saitama then arrives and shatters the meteor with one punch. Although its momentum is halted, the meteorite fragments scatter across the Z-City and leave it with massive collateral damage. There are no fatal casualties.

  • This is the first categorized disaster level that is not a living being[17].
  • In the anime, the meteor was said to earn a 6 to 9 rating on the Torino scale, a real-life scale used to measure the threat of meteorites.
