The twenty-seventh One-Punch Man episode, and season three's third, pits Garou against the paired monsters Royal Ripper and Bug God while Tareo is dragged into captivity. A parade of past creatures underscores the episode's meditation on the limits of living things.
Summary
Garou is set upon by Royal Ripper and Bug God, who strike at him from the rear. Alert to the ambush, the hunter fends off the two Monster Association creatures even as the encounter tests his limits. Royal Ripper hauls the captured Tareo away and places him in the same holding cell where Waganma is already imprisoned.
The episode threads in other developments, with Zombieman's trail leading to Dr. Genus and Armored Gorilla, and a sweeping recollection of monsters faced across the series, from the House of Evolution's beasts to the Deep Sea King and beyond, framing the theme of how far a living organism can be pushed.

Garou defends against a coordinated rear assault by Royal Ripper and Bug God. Royal Ripper imprisons Tareo in the cell holding Waganma. Zombieman's pursuit connects to Dr. Genus and Armored Gorilla, and a montage of earlier monsters reinforces the episode's focus on biological limits.
