Summary

Sitch introduces himself and lays out the reason for the summons, cautioning the heroes that once he begins they will be sealed in the room until the meeting concludes. Metal Bat cuts him off, grumbling that he skipped his little sister's piano recital to attend and threatening to level the building if nothing important is said. Sitch then reveals that the great prophet Shibabawa has died, stunning most of the room. When Zombieman asks whether she was killed, Sitch answers that she simply choked to death on cough drops. Superalloy Darkshine assumes the point is that the heroes must now guard against disasters without her guidance, but Sitch corrects him, noting that she only ever foresaw a small share of what actually happened. Saitama quietly asks Puri-Puri Prisoner who this Shibabawa even is.

The Prisoner explains that she was a prophet capable of pinpointing exactly when disasters, from natural events to monster attacks, would strike. Sitch drives to the real issue: her last prophecy was a scrawled note declaring that the Earth is in trouble. Child Emperor tries to invent an excuse to leave and is mocked for behaving like a child who fails to grasp the stakes. Sitch adds that the looming threat exceeds Dragon level and will arrive within half a year. Watchdog Man observes that there is little they can actually do to stop it, and Saitama muses that the prophecy may arrive sooner than anyone expects. On cue, headquarters comes under bombardment from the Skyfolk, with the Sky King readying an assault alongside his followers, only for the invaders to be struck down by an unseen attacker.
