One Punch Man Chapter 187 – The Butterfly and the Back

Spoiler Summary [Click to show or hide]:

Pavillion 800, also known as Mad Devil Yankee, sits with his butterfly wings against a column as…

…Mr. McCoy monitors him from the control room. A transport van opens its doors in town, revealing a fearful monster on a live screen.

Spectators at a dining table engage in Hero Gambling, betting on the responding heroes as Papillon 800 requests assistance upon seeing the monster.

The hero gambling scheme, a hidden income source for the H.A., is observed by Papillon 800, who considers the monster to be of a lower threat level.

Pavilion 800, actually Mad Devil Yankee, engages in a rigged fight with the scared monster but is injured and thrown into a garbage area.

As he blacks out, he recalls Mr. McCoy’s attempts to coerce him into hero gambling, including threats to his hospitalized mother.

Waking up, he reports the “crazy strong monster” to HQ while McCoy and others watch. Despite his injuries, he continues the fight, recalling Mumen Rider’s determination against the Deep Sea King.

Saitama interrupts the rigged match by defeating the monster, shocking everyone present, including Pavilion 800.

Mr. McCoy yells at Saitama for defeating the monster. Fortunately, Child Emperor shows up and exposes McCoy’s rigged game and vows to investigate further.

He shows them the hero gambling website where heroes are given odds of winning in defeating monsters.

Saitama, feeling disheartened by his assigned odds in hero gambling, tries to participate in the activity. He almost loses some money if he bets on himself after returning a stolen purse instead of defeating a monster.
