During his first year of training, Saitama (who still has hair, and is wearing a blue track suit) has defeated numerous villains in the abandoned area in Z-City, but is still having problems with paying the rent. Saitama speaks with his go-to tailor who is being forced to surrender his store's deed by a local gang. Several other shops have gone out of business, and the tailor's shop is the last one left. The gang's base is part of Saitama's apartment complex, where he goes door to door meeting the various criminals in the gang. Saitama isn't interested in them until he hears them mention the reward on their heads. Saitama tells the leader of the gang that he has been taking down shops by overcharging the owners & asks for the deed of the tailor's shop back. The leader of the gang loses it and transforms into the villain known as (the) Goldfish of Darkness. After Goldfish of Darkness reveals that the reward on his head is the biggest out of the entire gang, Saitama defeats him easily. He calls the police on the criminals living in the apartment complex & informs the landlady, in order to get the reward money to pay the rent. She kicks him out because she already knew that her other tenants were in the gang. Saitama gives the tailor his deed back, but the tailor tells him that he's retiring anyway. He gives Saitama his final piece of work (Saitama's costume). In present day, after hearing all this, Genos tells Saitama that he should get a better suit. But Saitama declines, saying all he explained was that the suit is a memento.

Once he reaches the other (closed down) supermarket, Genos bumps into the Dai Fuu Family's No. 2 man and the rival C-Class Pacino Family, headed by Don Pacino.
