Long Summary[]
Fubuki attempts to enter the battle against the remaining monsters of the Monster Association to assist her sister and the other heroes despite her injuries, with Bomb worrying and stopping her from doing so. Bomb, after observing Fubuki, comments that she and Tatsumaki are indeed alike, which Fubuki denies.
In the battlefield, the heroes are managing to fend off countless copies of Black Sperm. The members of the Council of Swordmasters and Spring Mustachio also arrive to support them. Seeing his enemies have managed to defend themselves and that they are proving difficult, a clone of Black Sperm asks Homeless Emperor, who is nonchalantly sitting in a rubble and watching the fight from a distance, for assistance. However; he refuses Black Sperm's call for help and states that it's a race to hunt the S-Class, telling the black monster to prove itself, by which the clone is upset and leaves. Homeless Emperor is then seen planning to get rid of Black Sperm after the monster splits to its maximum amount and destroys the civilisation of humanity with overwhelming numbers, and continues to calmly watch the battle as Black Sperm is struggling against his enemies.
Genos finally manages to bring Tanktop Master to Fubuki and asks her to heal him shortly before going back to the battle. Bomb and Fubuki are shocked at seeing Tanktop Master's injuries with Fubuki expressing doubt if her remaining power will be enough to save him and Bomb also wishing if his strength can be drawn upon, which Fubuki suggests trying. She then puts her hand and Bomb's together on Tanktop Master, using her telekinesis to try to heal the wounded hero with the combined power from both her and Bomb's. This proves to work, as Tanktop Master is recovering from his injuries, albeit only a little.
Suddenly, Garou, with a monstrous appearance, emerges from underground and confronts both Fubuki and Bomb. The elder martial artist then loudly calls Bang, informing his brother and the others of Garou's presence. As Bang is busy with holding off Black Sperm's clones, Atomic Samurai tells him to go and leave the place for him, much to Bang's gratitude.
Bomb prepares to fight Garou as he tells Fubuki to stay back.
