History

The Monster Association (Japanese: 怪人協会, Hepburn: Kaijin Kyōkai) was originally founded by the esper Psykos who after seeing a vision of the future about humanity drove her mad. She came to found the unknown group and created a meat puppet called Gyoro Gyoro to operate through whilst she herself remained in hiding. At some point, Lord Orochi (オロチ様, Orochi-sama) came to defeat the martial artist Gouketsu and recruited him as a member. It was then that he was cultivated into the creation of a powerful monster to serve as the Monster Association's apparent leader where he became Monster King Orochi ("怪人王"オロチ, Kaijin-ō Orochi). It was then that the Association began recruiting monsters into their ranks where it offered them a world where the strong only ruled and looked to destroy the Hero Association.

Rumors spread that strong monsters have been meeting up in Z-City's Ghost Town and that humans and even some mysterious beings were avoiding the location. Upon hearing news of the Hero Hunter, the Association became interested in finding Garo and recruiting him into their ranks.

In S-City, Venus Mantrap and Junior Centipede attack a sushi restaurant where the Hero Association benefactor Narinki and his son Waganma are dining. Metal Bat, who is guarding them, easily defeats both monsters. Rafflesidon and Senior Centipede then emerge from the ground. Narinki and Waganma are knocked out by Rafflesidon's gas. Metal Bat fights the monsters, but is slightly sedated by the gases the monster released. He manages to break out of its control by smashing his head, arousing his fighting spirit, and kills both monsters with one strike each. Moments later, Elder Centipede, a Dragon-level threat, emerges through the ground. Elder Centipede ignores Metal Bat's attacks and goes for Narinki. As Elder Centipede was about to catch the sponsor, he was struck by Metal Bat, and tries to shake Metal Bat off by maneuvering around the city. Elder Centipede manages to launch Metal Bat away and continues to rampage through the city. Just as Elder Centipede corners the heroes Pineapple and Mohican, who are carrying Narinki and Waganma, it was attacked by Metal Knight's missiles. Phoenix Man, Sludge Jellyfish and Rhino Wrestler then corner the heroes and demand the sponsor. After Garou finished his fight with Metal Bat, Phoenix Man and Sludge Jellyfish discuss how they could use him to their advantage.

After Metal Bat was knocked out by Zenko, Sludge Jellyfish tries to take her as a hostage but was struck by Garou. The monster was able to regenerate itself and Phoenix Man attempts to invite Garou into the Monster Association. Garou rudely declines by ripping up the invitation card. The monsters said they would overlook Garou's rude behavior this time and promise that they will meet again if he continued to carry out his hero hunt. Meanwhile, Rhino Wrestler fought and defeats Pineapple and Mohican, whereupon he took Waganma hostage. The monsters then retreat after explaining how fighting Metal Knight would only be in vain for them. The monsters retreat, but Metal Knight manages to stick to Elder Centipede and follow them to their base. The Monster Association then orchestrated simultaneous attacks against many cities.

Fist Fight Djinn was fighting the A-Class hero Smile Man, when Bang arrives at the scene. Fist Fight Djinn attempts to attack Bang, but was mercilessly killed by the S-Class hero. Meanwhile, Do-S manages to defeat many heroes and is confronted by Fubuki and her Blizzard Group. Marshall Gorilla managed to defeat Heavy Kong and tells the civilians to spread the word about him. Maiko Plasma and Electric Catfish Man fight Lightning Genji and manage to hospitalize him. Hundred-Eyes Octopus keeps devouring buildings and easily manages to defeat Death Gatling, Butterfly DX and Bone. Eyesight managed to poison Ecolo G and other heroes and fight Studless. Pureblood managed to kill many civilians during this time. Many monsters that appeared in C-City are defeated by Genos and Face Ripper later encounters the hero. Face Ripper manages to damage Genos, but is caught off guard and killed. In the same city, Awakened Cockroach defeats many heroes and meets Genos in an alley. On TV, it is reported that Lightning Genji is defeated by the monsters. While Awakened Cockroach manages to have the upper-hand in the fight against Genos, the monster is caught in an adhesive trap, though he manages to escape before being struck by Genos' blast. Do-S manages to transform all of the Blizzard Group members into her love slaves. While Fubuki is preoccupied with the love slaves, Do-S manages to pierce through her telekinesis and whip Fubuki. Do-S manages to hit Fubuki multiple times and believing that she has Fubuki's mind under her control, she reveals her plan of using Fubuki to lure Tatsumaki out. However, Do-S is sent flying and attacked by Fubuki. Angered, she decides to kill Fubuki. When the area begins to rumble, a monster falls in front of Do-S and warns her about Tatsumaki. Frightened, Do-S orders her love slaves to distract Tatsumaki, while she escapes.

The Monster Association continues their attack. Sweet Mask's concert is interrupted, the hospital where Mumen Rider, Tanktop Master and the Tank Topper Army are staying is attacked, and Nyan breaks into Smelly Lid Prison in search of Puri-Puri Prisoner. At their hideout, Gyoro Gyoro and Monster King Orochi are discussing their invasion and Gouketsu's whereabouts. They manage to defeat S-Class heroes like Genos and Metal Knight, whose robot is hanging in chains severely damaged and captured at the Monster Association's Headquarters. Despite their success, many monsters are killed by S-Class heroes. Drive Knight easily kills some members and interrogates the last living one about the invasion. Child Emperor uses an Underdog Man No. 22 to fight Eyesight, but the monster is later eaten by Pig God. Hundred-Eyes Octopus's destruction forces an A-Class heroes team to be assembled, but is later blinded by Flashy Flash, and crushed into a ball by Tatsumaki. Gyoro Gyoro worries slightly about the power of the S-Class heroes, especially Tatsumaki, but Orochi reassures Gyoro Gyoro that it will not be a problem as they can make as many Mysterious Beings as they please. During the Council of Swordmasters meeting, called by Atomic Samurai to help hunt Garou, one of the Council members, Haragiri, revealed himself to be a monster by ingesting some Monster Cells. Haragiri orders the others to transform into monsters and attacks Atomic Samurai due to orders from the Monster Association, but he is killed by Atomic Samurai. Through his robot, Metal Knight spies on the discussion between Gyoro Gyoro and Orochi. When asked about their goals, Gyoro Gyoro simply tells him to watch and wait. At the hospital, the Tank Topper Army fights the monsters and protects the patients and staff members. Mumen Rider struggles against Gyoffrey, but is saved by Tanktop Master.

Overview

In appearance, the Monster Association was an organization whose ranks consisted largely of monsters that sought to conquer the world. They were founded on the belief that one monster alone would eventually fall but all of them together could defeat the heroes. Many monsters believed that they were stronger than the heroes. As such, their ultimate goal was to bring about the end the Hero Association and create a world of monsters.

Their philosophy was based on strength whereby it was considered that only the strong rule. Thus, the higher ranking members were all powerful monsters that could challenge their superiors for their position. Failure resulted in death with the loser being killed by the victor. Thus, the leader of the Monster Association was considered the strongest monster among their ranks. Anyone capable of killing their boss was said to be capable of taking over the organisation. Members were not permitted to kill each other as it would weaken the organization, although was admitted that this was difficult rule to enforce. Many of the monsters in fact were hostile towards each other.

In terms of organisation, the Association was headed by a boss (ボス, Bosu) though actual management was overseen by a military advisor (参謀, Sanbō). Beneath them, there were the executives (幹部, Kanbu) who headed cadres with promotions handled by the advisor. Hierarchy is based on disaster level with the military advisor responsible for assigning levels on its members.

Through Orochi, the Association was responsible for creating Monster Cells (怪人細胞, Kaijin Saibō) that were pulsing masses of flesh that could be consumed and turn a human into a monster. Some humans did not survive the process but those that did were transformed into powerful monstrous beings. They had to be eaten raw where only one could be eaten by a person with the creation of a Dragon-level monster being considered a successful outcome. This was used as a potent recruiting tool and was offered to people that desired greater power.

They came to establish their hide-out underground in the outskirts of City Z.
