Previous Chapter Recap
The hero rescue team discusses recent events with Sekingar. While the dangerous situation appears to have calmed down, Sekingar reminds the other heroes that monsters can still pop out at any time, thus they should do their rescue operations quickly. Lightning Max questions the defeats of Sage Centipede and Evil Ocean Water, to which Tareo responds that it was “uncle” (what he calls Garou) who has defeated them. Mumen Rider asks Tareo if the “uncle” he is talking about wears a tank top, which Tareo replies he does not think so. To their surprise, an earthquake suddenly occurs, and they wonder if something bad is happening again.
Meanwhile, far into the skies, the fight between Garou and Saitama, the source of the seismic, starts for real. Despite Garou viciously attacking him, Saitama is able to comfortably fend off his assault. He then throws a punch at Garou but the Hero Hunter manages to dodge his punch before ax-kicking him into the ground, causing great destruction to a landmass. As Saitama quickly stands up, Garou charges at him with a hand chop, directly striking his head.
However, Saitama no-sells his chop and retaliates with a head butt that obliterates Garou’s forearm. Despite the damage, Garou instantly regenerates his forearm and proceeds to attack Saitama, who, on the other hand, just wants to talk with him. Out of frustration, Saitama punches Garou, sending him flying a far distance away towards Tareo and the other heroes’s whereabouts. Just as Tareo comes up to him, Garou’s body begins mutating, something that frightens the boy. Seeing Garou as a monster, Max and Sneck jump in and drag Tareo away from him. The wounded and other heroes all soon get into two boats with Tareo and leave. While the boat carrying him starts heading towards the sea, Tareo gets away from it and swims back to land in order to meet with Garou.
