Summary
Great Philosopher takes down a Sewage Crocodile, only to find that many more surface and hem him in, and he is soon overpowered and beaten. A contingent of Neo Heroes then arrives in battle suits, among them the Soda Pop Boys, who have joined the organization and rebranded as the Neo Soda Pop Boys, and they wipe out the pack of crocodile creatures. Great Philosopher watches and admits they all outmatch him even though their movements look clumsy. When the group runs into a crocodile monster far larger than the rest, they call on Wavygyaza, who is streaming from atop a nearby building.
Wavygyaza seizes the spotlight on her live stream, telling her fans and everyone watching that she has returned from her break stronger than before and that she is now a hero as well as an idol. She leaps down and destroys the giant creature, apparently the pack's leader, with her Wavy~ Thunder. Afterward, several Neo Heroes trade talk about the heavy surgery, body modifications, and drug use she supposedly endured to become a cyborg with such power. They note she has to drink water constantly to cool herself, since her body climbs to nearly 70 degrees Celsius after exertion, and they question whether she is trimming her own lifespan for the sake of fame, calling her deranged. Watching the same broadcast, Saitama and Genos look on, and Genos reflects that he owes his gratitude to Dr. Kuseno, since his own cyborg body spares him the troubles Wavygyaza faces.
