A recovering Forte learns the humbling truth of how he was really beaten, while Saitama tries to keep Tatsumaki from tearing apart the Hero Association base and hauls the furious esper skyward to spare everyone below.
Inside the Hero Association headquarters infirmary, Air stirs awake from the wounds Evil Natural Water left him and spots Forte laid up in the next bed. Chain'n'toad and Butterfly DX have dropped by to check on Forte, who insists that Saitama must have struck him with some psychic ability during their scuffle. Butterfly DX punctures that theory, explaining he was simply clipped from behind by a car, and Chain'n'toad suggests he stop wearing headphones while fighting. The two visitors head off, leaving Forte to recover.
Elsewhere, Saitama's decision to keep Tatsumaki from disciplining the Blizzard Group has left her seething. She tries to fling him aside with her telekinesis, yet the Caped Baldy simply holds his ground, a resistance that catches the S-Class esper off guard. Tatsumaki places him as the man who was traveling with Genos, while Saitama tells Fubuki to lead the rest of the group somewhere safe. Fubuki obeys without hesitation, which prompts the older sister to press about what ties the two of them together. Saitama shrugs it off as a mere acquaintance, and Tatsumaki warns she intends to judge for herself whether he deserves to loiter near Fubuki.
As the space around them begins to warp under Tatsumaki's power, Saitama seizes her firmly and launches upward with a single explosive leap, carrying the protesting esper high into the air with him. The upheaval she caused shatters the holding cells, and Tongue Stretcher, Beer Bellee, and Man-Eating Capybara slip free. The three Mysterious Beings run straight into a crowd of heroes and immediately bolt in the other direction.
Air regains consciousness beside the hospitalized Forte, who is told he lost their fight to a passing car rather than any psychic trick. Saitama blocks Tatsumaki from punishing the Blizzard Group and withstands her telekinetic shove, stunning her. He directs Fubuki to move the others clear, then grabs Tatsumaki and rockets into the sky to relocate their fight. The destruction frees Tongue Stretcher, Beer Bellee, and Man-Eating Capybara, who flee upon meeting a group of heroes.

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....
