Chapter 175: What Was Gained

Inside a police station, an officer grills Garou over dining and dashing at a restaurant, but he sidesteps the question to expound on his convictions until Bang clocks him from behind. Out on the street, Bang insists Garou apologize to the people he hunted, which irks Garou, who admits he only sticks with the old master hoping to recover his lost fighting style. In a park playground, Tareo acts out a heroes-and-villains game with friends before Waganma arrives by car with his father Narinki and joins in.

Returning to master and pupil, Garou voices a wish to spar with the heroes he once battled as a monster, Bang included, believing that fighting them again might spark an awakening without turning monstrous. At Hero Association Headquarters, Sitch tells Sekingar about Bang's resignation and his intent to bring in a replacement, unaware that Sekingar has not realized the candidate is Garou. Sitch reasons that readying for Shibabawa's final prophecy outweighs the objections certain to follow.

Strolling on, Bang abruptly asks Garou his taste in women. Caught off guard, Garou eventually names Kiiro, an actress from a sentai program, and the two fall into a chat about the sorry state of modern sentai shows. Elsewhere, across the emptied seabed left by the Monster Association disaster, Saitama and Genos comb through the wreckage for their ruined apartment while a shrunken Overgrown Rover watches from the shore.

Standing as the one hundred and seventy-fifth chapter of the Monster Association Arc and Volume 34, this installment is titled Eta Mono and published by Viz as Gains. It has no webcomic counterpart, and its cover brings together Saitama, Genos, Garou, Bang, Tatsumaki, and Fubuki. Its release coincided with the announcement of the anime's third season.
