The Murder Case That Is Too Impossible
After the invasion of the Dark Matter Thieves, the Hero Association invited all of the S-Class heroes to a hot spring resort. At the hot spring Zombieman was stabbed and killed with Atomic Samurai's sword. Child Emperor concluded that the murderer is one of the heroes. As heroes were being questioned and no progress was made, Tatsumaki decided to restrain everyone, until Zombieman suddenly woke up. Zombieman couldn't remember the night before since he drank a lot. The only thing that he could remember was the sword was flying and glowing green surrounding it, much like with objects telekinetically controlled by Tatsumaki, before it stabbed him and fell asleep. Tatsumaki denies the fact that she was the one who stabbed him, but Zombieman reassured that he doesn't care and everyone disbanded. It was later revealed, through video footage, that Tatsumaki did in fact stab Zombieman, out of a drunken rage from being denied sake by Saitama.

Genos, Training
Dr. Kuseno develops the Virtual Genocide System (VGS), a headgear that reads brainwaves and simulates battles between the wearer and monster data stored in VGS. You picture how you fight in your head and VGS will carry it out in the simulation, the resulting battle is visualized on an external monitor. Genos uses these simulated battles to gauge his abilities and gain experience. The events in the audio drama take place before Genos’s encounter with Gouketsu, as in the episode Genos claims that Carnage Kabuto was the strongest monster he faced. Given the release date and small details in the dialogue, like how characters refer to each other, Japanese fans are saying that it's Genos post-G4 upgrade.

Genos contacts the HA and sends out a call for powerful heroes to gather at the HA headquarters to get more reference data for VGS. The following four heroes agree to participate:


 * Sneck: It can’t be helped, as your hero senpai I have to help you out.
 * Zombieman: This would be interesting data for future reference.
 * Metal Bat: Sounds like fun.
 * Darkshine: Would be a good work out.

The heroes engage in simulated combat vs. Carnage Kabuto. Carnage Kabuto quickly destroys Zombieman, leaving only his head. A one-sided beat down continues for one week, but Carnage Kabuto eventually exhausts himself in Carnage Mode and becomes immobile. Zombieman kills him with a counter attack.

The simulation clock is sped up to save time. Zombieman mentions that the VGS didn’t stop the simulation because his brain didn’t register injuries as serious damage or real danger.

Genos concludes that his body is too weird, and is not good as reference.
