EPISODE CONTEXT

After the previous episode established the Hero Association and pushed Saitama and Genos toward official registration, Episode 5 delivers on that setup by throwing them into the certification gauntlet itself. Sitting just before the season's midpoint, this is a critical worldbuilding episode that transitions Saitama from anonymous overpowered loner to a recognized player within the hero hierarchy. It lays essential groundwork for the institutional politics and ranking systems that will define the conflicts and comedy of the season's back half.
