In the ninety-second chapter the Hero Association finalizes its deployment while Garou storms the Monster Association's lair, rescuing Tareo and cutting down Royal Ripper before a far greater beast blocks his path.
Summary
The Hero Association readies its S-Class roster for the monster threat, missing Watchdog Man, Blast, and Metal Knight, with Genos and Bang also unaccounted for. Tatsumaki warns Sekingar she will turn violent should Fubuki be drawn into the fight, refusing to see her sister endangered. Every available hero from C-Class up through A-Class is assigned to the association's rank and file, leaving the S-Class to handle the Dragon-level threats.
Key Events
Garou smashes into the compound just as Royal Ripper threatens Tareo. Though the monster runs him through the stomach, Garou tears its head off with a single punch, then reduces the corpse to ribbons using the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist. He and the boy flee, dispatching two more creatures along the way, and the hunter swallows a severed limb to recover his strength. Tareo mentions another captive child in need of help, but Garou reminds him that neither the rescue nor even Tareo himself was his purpose. Their flight halts when Overgrown Rover looms into view.
