Long Summary[]
In a state of great pain, Garou recalls his miserable past as a misunderstood child who was constantly bullied. Fueled by anger and despair, he begins a counterattack by destroying the ground and grabbing a large tree during the confusion. He swings it at Bang and Bomb, forcing them to retreat. Suddenly, Phoenix Man appears and generates immense air pressure, launching everyone away, then grabs the Hero Hunter mid-air while calling for Elder Centipede to assist with their escape. Although Garou protests, he is unable to resist and is taken toward the Monster Association Headquarters.
Meanwhile, Elder Centipede confronts the three humans. Despite Bang, Bomb, and Genos fighting together and dealing significant damage, they are unable to defeat the monster due to its molting and immense regeneration abilities. Eventually, they are forced to retreat. As they near the edge of the forest, Bang prepares to sacrifice himself by unleashing his full power to give Bomb time to escape with the unconscious heroes and Genos. Fortunately, King arrives and distracts Elder Centipede by tricking him into believing he brought Blast, while taunting the monster into charging at him.
Elder Centipede meets his end when an unnoticed Saitama, standing behind King, lands a Serious Punch that completely disintegrates the monster from head to tail, leaving behind only its lifeless claws.

Trivia[]
- In the Volume Release, this chapter was split into two chapters, one in Volume 16 and one in Volume 17. The split chapter in volume 16 is called "Escalation" (エスカレーション, Esukarēshon, Tonari: 125).
- Right before heading towards Elder Centipede with a leap, Genos takes a pose that greatly resembles that of Saitama before he launched himself headlong towards the giant meteor.[1]
