Chapter 170 (Online)

"What Was Gained" (得たもの, Eta Mono, Tonari: 215) is the 170th chapter of the One-Punch Man manga series.

Summary
Garou speaks on his own beliefs and how he came to realize that his goal was to become a monster, explaining his ideology that a peace made by humans will inevitably allowed then to act outside of what is morally correct, eventually leading him to adopt the mindset that he would become the force that even justice couldn't stop. After his proclamation, the interrogator speaking to him reminds Garou he is simply asking if he regrets his actions, leading Bang to punch his disciple from behind for ignoring the question.

Leaving the police station, Bang reminds Garou it is now time for him to apologize to all those he had hurt during his Hero Hunt, leading his student to scoff at the notion. Bang remember that even Garou's parents were absent while he was detained, muttering to himself that even in his old age and after everything that has happened, he retains a great deal of respect and care for him. He remembers his search for Garou following his disappearance from the heroes, eventually locating him at the base of a waterfall meditating. Garou was annoyed his master had found him but the old hero reminds his student that he was the one who showed him the location.

As they walk, Garou takes the chance to remind Bang that he only returned to him because he was the only one who is able to deal with his fighting ability, making Bang proudly accept that he was able to match his student's strength. He recalls that after suddenly being attacked by "something", he had forgotten everything that had made him into a monster. Garou then asks Bang about Tareo's whereabouts.

In a playground at a park, Tareo is playing with some children in a game revolving around villains and heroes. The kids, unbeknownst to him, have ganged together to be beat him as the heroes in their "game". However, Tareo is unfazed, getting up and claiming that he is not the villain but "Garou-man the Hero", as he takes Garou's fighting stance. The kids become confused at his "made-up backstory" but are interrupted when Waganma appears to meet with Tareo.

The kids roughhousing him become shocked he is friends with such a notable person; Tareo then invites them to join for some fun, which they happily accept, as Waganma showcases Child Emperor's backpack that he had been wearing. Narinki is proud to see his son now so mature following the incident at the Monster Association, only to be cut off when Waganma pushes him aside to give Tareo some space in their limousine.

Garou then talks to Bang about the heroes he had fought as a monster, namely him, Bomb, Flashy Flash, Blast and Saitama; he believes that battling them in that order again will allow him to awaken new powers without becoming a monster. Bang tells him not to be so cocky as to believe he can fight him again, not since his back has been feeling better with Metal Knight's body check-up on him.

At the Hero Association Headquarters, Sekingar talks to Sitch about Bang's choice to become Garou's guardian and to eventually introduce him into the association, as well as his own resignation as a hero. Sekingar notes that Bang has left a gaping hole leaving his role as a hero but is optimistic that Garou can fill his shoes with his approval. Sitch, aware of Garou's path of destruction, chooses to remain hopeful that the S-Class hero can rehabilitate him. Knowing that the heroes will oppose Garou joining them, he nonetheless accepts that preparing for Shibabawa's last prophecy is paramount.

With Garou too young to drink, Bang decides that a simple chat is the best way to know his student better, which he initiates by first asking about any girls he likes. Garou is taken aback by his master asking such a revealing question, but he eventually relents, answering that he fancies an actress from a sentai show. Before long, the two begin a discussion about the current state of sentai shows.

In the drained remains of the sea, following the battle with Garou, Genos spots a large clam in the sand, exciting Saitama, who hopes that the next thing they will find is a pot; Overgrown Rover sits on the shoreline watching the two digging into the sand.
