Witness
Manga ChapterWitness is a short bonus chapter from Volume 15 in which Saitama quietly ends Vaccine Man's rampage on A-City before the S-Class ranks can mobilize. The real joke lands afterward, when King happens upon the corpse and everyone assumes the unassuming gamer was the one who slew the monster.
Summary
Vaccine Man strikes A-City, and the Hero Association scrambles to reach every hero it can. Before a single S-Class fighter can respond, Saitama has already put the creature down. Moments later King, stooping to grab a dropped copy of Moe Moe Chronicle 2, his handheld game, wanders straight into Vaccine Man's remains and is taken for the one who killed it.
Key Events
Vaccine Man assaults A-City while the Association races to summon help. Saitama destroys the monster ahead of any S-Class arrival. King, retrieving his handheld game nearby, is wrongly credited with the kill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who witnessed Saitama's power in the One Punch Man chapter Witness?
No one actually witnesses Saitama defeat Vaccine Man in the chapter Witness, since he finishes the monster off before any S Class hero can arrive. King later stumbles onto the corpse while retrieving his dropped handheld game and is mistakenly credited as the one who killed it.
What happens in the One Punch Man chapter Witness?
In Witness, Vaccine Man attacks A City and the Hero Association scrambles to send help, but Saitama destroys the monster before any S Class fighter can respond. King then wanders into the aftermath while retrieving his dropped handheld game, Moe Moe Chronicle 2, and is wrongly assumed to be the hero who killed Vaccine Man.
Why does everyone think King defeated Vaccine Man in Witness?
King is mistaken for Vaccine Man's killer because he happens to walk past the monster's remains right after Saitama secretly finishes it off, having only gone there to pick up a dropped copy of his handheld game. Since no one actually saw Saitama land the blow, onlookers assume the person standing near the body must be responsible.
