"Resistance of the Strong" (強い奴の抵抗, Tsuyoi Yatsu no Teikō, Tonari: 112 + 113) is the seventy-third chapter of the One-Punch Man manga series.
Summary[]
Suiryu remains conscious and manages to land multiple hits on Gouketsu, though they prove ineffective. When Suiryu notices that the other martial artists have been defeated by The Three Crows, he lets his guard down and is struck and stomped on by Gouketsu. Despite this, Suiryu musters enough strength to escape the monster's grasp and launches himself upward to use Void Shivering Tiger Fist, only to find himself completely outmatched. Gouketsu begins to toy with him, resulting in severe injuries.
Gouketsu then orders The Three Crows to kill Suiryu, but due to his condition, Suiryu is unable to fight back. Spotting Bakuzan on the sidelines, he pleads for help, but Bakuzan refuses. Instead, Bakuzan chooses to consume several Monster Cells, which overwhelm him and leave him collapsed on the ground, unresponsive. Losing hope, Suiryu braces for death, but just as the Crows attack, he is saved by Sneck and Lightning Max. Suiryu joins forces with the two heroes, and together they defeat The Three Crows.
Afterwards, Suiryu asks the heroes for assistance and suggests fleeing. However, they choose to stay and fight in order to buy him time to escape. The heroes are quickly overwhelmed, while Bakuzan, now transformed into a monster, intercepts Suiryu during his escape attempt and sends him crashing back to the ground. Suiryu manages to rise one final time, but is then relentlessly beaten down by Bakuzan.
