At the Hero Association HQ, Child Emperor and Sekingar go over the list of active heroes. After a short conversation with Bofoi, Child Emperor starts to suspect something’s off. Using his authority, he quietly removes Demon Cyborg and Silver Fang from the upcoming rescue operation. Even though Sitch objects, he’s ordered not to inform them.
Meanwhile, over at Saitama’s apartment, the group of seven gets together for a hot pot dinner. The moment the food’s ready, chaos breaks out—everyone dives in at once, sending food flying everywhere. King gets knocked out instantly (though Dr. Kuseno doesn’t even react), but nobody notices.
Fubuki tries to float a piece of meat her way, only for Genos to intercept it and hand it to Saitama, who’s annoyed that everyone’s eating his food. A brief argument follows before Dr. Kuseno steps in to calm Genos—just for Fubuki to immediately start trying to recruit the doctor for weapon development. By the time things settle, the meat’s gone and Saitama finally notices King lying there “asleep.”
S-Class Heroes prepare
Back at HQ, the Hero Association prepares to deploy the S-Class heroes. Watchdog Man, Blast, and Metal Knight are missing, and Genos and Bang’s whereabouts are unknown. Tatsumaki threatens Sekingar, warning that she’ll get violent if her sister Fubuki is involved. She refuses to let her get dragged into danger. With the situation escalating, every available hero from C-Class to A-Class is being mobilized to fight the Monster Association’s army. Meanwhile, the S-Class prepares to take on the Dragon-level threats.
Inside the monster facility, Garou bursts in just in time to save Tareo from Royal Ripper. Despite being stabbed in the gut, Garou doesn’t hesitate—he kills Royal Ripper with a single devastating punch, then finishes him off using the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist, completely shredding the monster to pieces.
