Reflection
Manga ChapterBundled into Volume 32 as a bonus chapter, Reflection stages a quick cosmic sequel to the Boros battle. A vengeful alien armada arrives to punish Saitama, and his bald scalp bounces their own ultimate weapon straight back at them.
Summary
Out among the stars, an alien host called the Dark Cosmic Fleet steers a squadron of ships toward Earth once Boros has fallen. The invaders correctly peg Saitama as the man who felled the Dark Matter Thieves' leader.
Key Events
Holding their vessels well back so their doomsday cannon's blast cannot reach them, a nameless commander orders every gun fired at full output, all of it aimed at Saitama. The barrage strikes his shining scalp and rebounds without leaving a mark, whipping the beams back toward the ships that fired them.
Notes
The reflected volley tears into the fleet and wipes out every last ship in a single beat. The chapter plays as a compressed gag encore to the Boros arc, shrinking a full invasion down to one throwaway punchline at Saitama's expense.
