Salmon
Manga ChapterRiding along in Volume 6 as a bonus story, Salmon drops a would-be jumper onto a rooftop beside an unbothered Saitama. What looks like a tense rescue collapses into slapstick over a lunch and a fish that refuses to stay put.
Summary
Outside a tall building, a film crew trains its lenses on a Suicidal Man who, his life in pieces, means to throw himself off the roof. Perched beside him and calmly working through his lunch is Saitama, whom the man takes for someone talking him down. Red Nose, a C-Class hero, meanwhile angles for a spot on camera while posing as a suicide-prevention volunteer.
Key Events
Mid-lecture about how cruel life can be, Saitama lets a salmon slip from his hand and streaks down the tower at breakneck speed to grab it before bounding back up. The startled man loses his footing and topples off the edge, yet Saitama catches him, fumbling the fish a second time along the way.
