Chapter 224 (Online)

Accel and his Neo Hunters finish off Explosive Velocity Snail, and Accel voices approval of the custom axes and spears the Neo Heroes issued them. In another district, Crescent Eyebroll loses ground to Triple Tongues in front of a crowd of onlookers. The armored pickup carrying Suiryu and his squad drives past, and Suiryu steps off meaning to lend a hand, but Ryumon and his gang beat him to it, gunning down Triple Tongues and rescuing Crescent Eyebroll. When Crescent Eyebroll proposes teaming up, Ryumon rebuffs him coldly, explaining that he wants the public to see Neo Heroes members handle threats the Hero Association could not, and he mockingly thanks him for losing to the monster where everyone could watch. Before the Ryumon Gang can land the finishing blow, Saitama darts past and knocks the head clean off Triple Tongues, killing it so fast that the baffled gang assumes the victory was theirs. Suiryu glances back and recognizes Saitama, who is on his way to a meeting with the Hero Name Victims Association.

Child Emperor and his team, clad in battle suits, wrap up their own monster cleanup. He remarks that the suits perform almost too well and could be handed out to every one of the organization's 2000 members. Studying how they sync with the wearer's nerves and read electrical signals to drive the artificial muscles, he spots a resemblance to schematics found in Metal Knight and wonders whether Bofoi has a hand in them, then removes his suit. Nearby, Double Hole and Feather notice A battling a monster and ask why a wanted assassin is playing hero; A answers that he works as a hero now and warns that he will defend himself if they try to take him in. In another city, Zaedats faces Meat Dumpling, a Demon-level threat, boasting beforehand that his own suit is unlike the rest, built to order at a cost of 200 billion yen. The monster promptly clutches him in its palms, wrecking the suit and forcing him to call for aid. Elsewhere, Infelsinave is left in critical condition after an off-panel defeat by an unknown creature as his followers look on in dismay, and Metal Bat, also in a battle suit, strikes at a monster of his own.

Accel's Neo Hunters kill Explosive Velocity Snail. Ryumon's gang saves Crescent Eyebroll and snubs any cooperation. Saitama secretly slays Triple Tongues and lets the gang take the credit. Child Emperor links the battle suits to Metal Knight and suspects Bofoi. A refuses to be captured, insisting he is a hero now. Both Zaedats and Infelsinave are defeated by Demon-level monsters.
