Lightning Max vs. Suiryu

Lightning Max vs. Suiryu was the tournament match between the martial artists Max and Suiryu.

Prelude
Max and Suiryu both participate the Super Fight Tournament. This is the first time Lightning Max participated while it is the fifth time for Suiryu. After Max defeated Lin Lin, he surprised the audience because he was labeled a reverse seed, a contestant who was perceived weak. As Suiryu enters the arena, the audience is gleefully watching with anticipation and the Super Fight Announcer announces the fight between the contestants. As they both enter the ring, Lightning Max wonders if Suiryu is stronger than him, but remembers that the opponent he really needs to surpass is the Deep Sea King, and compared to him, Suiryu is puny. Max then tells Suiryu that he has to become stronger, or else he won't be able to protect everyone as a hero. Because of this, he says he will use his new anti-monster technique against Suiryu. Suiryu says that being a pro-hero is rather ambitious and says that everyone has their own reason for pursuing strength, mildly irritating the hero. The referee tells the fighters to take their stances, and the battle quickly begins.

Battle
Max begins to run and tumble towards Suiryu and uses his new attack the Giant Wheel Double Heel Drop, performing multiple front flips and preparing to strike his opponent. However, Suiryu easily outmaneuvers him and effortlessly kicks Max to the edge of the ring, knocking Max out cold. As he kicks Max, Suiryu says the reason he became stronger was so he could glide through life easily. This shocked the audience and the other competitors, and Suiryu states that he is the stronger one of the two.

Aftermath
Suiryu's performance managed to impress many, including Genos, who was observing the match. However, Saitama is not impressed by this performance, and Sour Face thinks this is because he's an amateur.
