Broken is the 121st online chapter of One-Punch Man, set in the Monster Association Arc. Two separate encounters open as Superalloy Darkshine squares off against Garou, while Child Emperor turns his robotics against the shape-shifting Evil Natural Water.
Summary
Superalloy Darkshine comes across Puri-Puri Prisoner lying beaten on the floor. The fallen hero cautions Darkshine about Garou, who steps into view at the far end of the passage. The two of them size each other up and prepare to fight. In a separate part of the base, Child Emperor discovers Atomic Samurai's pupils overcome by Evil Natural Water.
Key Events
Child Emperor weaves clear of the liquid monster's strikes and puts together his snowman-shaped machine. When Evil Natural Water blasts him with high-pressure jets, the boy hero answers with the robot's Flash Freezing Breath, locking the incoming streams solid in mid-air.
Notes
The vehicle Genos and Saitama ride on the cover appears modeled after the Rally Fighter. The online edition initially shipped with a page missing, and its original two-page spread for pages nine and ten was afterward swapped for a fresh page paired with a compressed version of that spread. The chapter carries the Tonari number 164 and released on November 16, 2019.
