The twelfth OVA of the One-Punch Man anime, in which a group of S-Class heroes snowed in at a mountain lodge treat a mysterious explosion as a locked-room mystery, only for Child Emperor to trace it back to Saitama's sneeze.
Child Emperor, Zombieman, Superalloy Darkshine, and Metal Bat are sent to a bleak, snow-covered mountain to hunt a monster. Turning up nothing, they check into a lodge for the night and find they are not alone: Saitama and Genos got stranded there too, and Flashy Flash is trying to unwind on vacation. Speed-o'-Sound Sonic is also training on the mountain, and once he senses Saitama, he decides to strike. Lingering too long in the blizzard, he freezes stiff, loses his footing, and smashes in through a window. The heroes tie him up, though he still intends to kill Saitama.
Sonic slips his bindings easily and tries to ambush Saitama from beneath the floorboards, only for Genos to intercept him, and their clash wrecks the room. The stirred-up dust tickles Saitama's nose, and his sneeze blasts every door and window in the lodge open. The power fails, and a sudden explosion follows.
Grabbing a flashlight, the heroes rush to the den to find it destroyed and Zombieman unconscious. Detecting no outside heat signatures, Child Emperor concludes the culprit must be inside the lodge. Once Zombieman recovers he shares what little he saw, and Sonic steps forward to clear his own name. With everyone's alibi checking out, and Flashy Flash upstairs forgotten entirely, they suspect the monster, but the association identifies it as a mere bear creature called Bruinado and rules it out. When Child Emperor watches Saitama sneeze a second time, he pieces it together: the lodge's many heaters dried the air, the Genos-Sonic brawl raised flammable dust, Saitama's sneeze drove that dust into the den, the strained electricity tripped a breaker, and Zombieman's lighter set off the explosion. Just as the group relaxes, Bruinado bursts through the front door and is instantly crushed by the crowd of S-Class heroes, while upstairs Flashy Flash keeps hogging all the power.
Four S-Class heroes hunting a monster get snowed in at a lodge shared with Saitama, Genos, and Flashy Flash. Sonic freezes outside and crashes in, and his fight with Genos plus Saitama's sneeze sets off an explosion that knocks out Zombieman. Child Emperor solves the chain of causes, and the bear monster Bruinado is destroyed the moment it finally appears.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
No. Zombieman is knocked unconscious by an explosion in this OVA, not killed, and later recovers to help Child Emperor piece together what happened.
No one actually kills Zombieman in this OVA. The apparent murder turns out to be an accidental explosion caused by a chain of mishaps involving Saitama's sneeze, and Zombieman recovers unharmed.
In Zombieman Murder Case 2, a chain of accidents causes the explosion: the lodge's heaters dry the air, Genos and Sonic's brawl kicks up flammable dust, Saitama's sneeze blows that dust into the den, the strained electrical system trips a breaker, and Zombieman's lighter ignites it.
Child Emperor solves the mystery in Zombieman Murder Case 2, tracing the explosion back to a chain of accidental causes rather than a real culprit.
Zombieman Murder Case 2 snows in Child Emperor, Zombieman, Superalloy Darkshine, and Metal Bat alongside Saitama, Genos, and Flashy Flash at a mountain lodge while hunting a monster.
