The 149th volume chapter of One-Punch Man tracks Pig God's rescue delivery to the evacuation crew and Bang's save of Tanktop Master from Gums, ending as Gums and Fuhrer Ugly turn on one another in the ruins of Z-City.
Summary
Heroes are ferrying wounded civilians out of Z-City when Pig God, launched skyward by Tanktop Master, lands among them. He spits out Bushidrill and Okamaitachi of Narinki's Private Squad and tells the rescue team that one of the pair is seriously hurt and needs treatment. Asked by Mumen Rider how the battle is going, Pig God says Tanktop Master's arrival has swung the momentum to the heroes. He relays Tanktop Master's message to Mumen Rider and the Tank Topper Army, and the words drive the rescuers to push harder before Pig God heads back into the fight.
Key Events
As Fuhrer Ugly moves on Tatsumaki, Bang kicks straight through Gums to drag Tanktop Master from its gut while Genos scorches the creature's interior. Fuhrer Ugly turns and throws his Face Caving Punch at Bang, who redirects the blow and staggers him. Finding Tanktop Master's heart stopped, Bang forgoes Genos's defibrillation and instead snaps the tanktop back onto him, reviving the hero through what he calls Tank Top Magic.
Fuhrer Ugly stands again as a healed Gums catches Genos off guard in its jaws. Bang warns that his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist is an unbeatable defense, but Fuhrer Ugly throws an even stronger punch. Bang guides it into Gums and follows with a barrage that forces the monster back. Struck while chewing on Genos, Gums drops the cyborg and, believing Fuhrer Ugly hit it on purpose, swallows him whole in a rage. In that moment Bang and Genos carry Tanktop Master and Tatsumaki off to Fubuki for healing, while Fuhrer Ugly rips Gums apart from inside and melts the body with stomach acid, bent on avenging himself against the old martial artist.
Notes
Viz Media keeps the title Silver Fang, a reference to Bang's hero name, and a note distinguishes the chapter from the character page of the same name. Bang serves as the cover character, and the installment partly adapts webcomic Chapter 72. This is the volume edition, corresponding to the online release numbered as the 144th chapter.
A volume bonus page shows a portrait of Bang with his fingers held in a calm, ready stance.
