Warning! Spoilers for One-Punch Man chapter 141 ahead!
The One-Punch Man manga, written by One and illustrated by Yusuke Murata, is known for having a cast of bizarre and sometimes dubious-sounding heroes, and the members of the Tank Topper Army have stood out even amongst these. But as the battle against the Monster Association continues in the latest chapter, the Tank Topper Army may have just lost its master for good.
The “Tank Topper Army” is the name for an affiliation of several different heroes, ranging from C-class to S-class, all of whom wear themed tank tops and train together, under the tutelage of the Tanktop Master. Their first appearances weren’t exactly flattering; Tanktop Tiger introduced himself by insulting and deriding Saitama, and returned later with his brother, Tanktop Black Hole, to publicly accuse Saitama of stealing credit for the acts of S-class heroes to rise up the ranks. While this might make the Tank Topper Army seem like an antagonistic group, they became less adversarial in later appearances, with Tanktop Vegetarian being one of the first heroes to go up against Garou.
Tanktop Master has been particularly useful throughout the siege on the Monster Association’s base, helping to prove that his group are more than just muscleheads. While the Tank Topper Army isn’t a part of the initial raid, they are currently en route to lend aid to the S-class heroes, but they may not be pleased with what they find. Tanktop Master, working with Pig God, sets out to rescue the badly injured Sweet Mask and other victims of the Monster Association’s top leadership. He is able to buy time for Pig God to escape with the injured, but Tanktop Master suffers a series of major hits from the absolutely devastating punches of Fuhrer Ugly, first shattering the bones in his arms, then nearly every bone in his body. One of the last panels in English chapter 141 even shows the mangled and bloodied Tanktop Master being devoured whole by the gluttonous monster Gums, a grim fate to be sure.
Since Tanktop Master is swallowed whole, he’s not necessarily done for, provided help can arrive soon enough. Genos and Bang are on their way, and should be able to assist in freeing him. Still, while Fuhrer Ugly’s previous victim, Sweet Mask, has shown regenerative abilities that may allow him to fully heal and resume hero duties in time, Tanktop Master has demonstrated no such recovery power of his own. The damage he has suffered could very well be a career-ender, even if he survives. Blizzard, who has declared her heroic intent, does have some healing abilities at her disposal, but it’s not known if her healing could help with injuries so severe. At the very least, fans can expect Tanktop Master to be on the bench for quite a while.
How the Tank Topper Army will react to their leader’s defeat is anyone’s guess. As a group, their appearances have often ended with defeat or public outbursts; even Tanktop Master was beaten by Garou due to dirty fighting, but never before in One-Punch Man has a member of the Army been so brutally destroyed. Despite that, the group is one of the largest hero teams shown to date, so a shake-up to the Tank Topper Army could have major repercussions on the hero rankings. And, even if it has ended in defeat, it’s nice to see that regardless of the Tank Toppers’ abrasive personalities, the Tanktop Master has proven himself worthy of being called a hero.
