The Fight

Hoping to assist Tatsumaki, Tanktop Master hurls a chunk of a ruined building toward the alien vessel, only to be swept up in the storm of her own psychic assault. Aboard the craft, the crew grows uneasy about surviving the onslaught. Genos, Drive Knight, and Child Emperor observe the barrage from a distance, and Drive Knight, judging his presence pointless, departs after cautioning Genos to be wary of Metal Knight.

Elsewhere, Melzargard swells to a towering form and brags that he has finished off Bang while sneering at the remaining S-Class fighters. That confidence collapses when Bang rises without a scratch. Atomic Samurai carves into the boastful alien, and Bang delivers the finishing blow. Meanwhile the duel between Saitama and Boros rages on, with Boros unleashing a beam from his torso before slipping around behind the hero to strike the back of his skull.

Tanktop Master is caught in Tatsumaki's attack after trying to lend a hand against the spaceship. Drive Knight abandons the battlefield and warns Genos about Metal Knight. Bang recovers unharmed and, together with Atomic Samurai, brings down Melzargard. Boros lands a surprise hit on Saitama by teleporting to his blind side.

This installment belongs to Volume 7 and falls within the Alien Conquerors Arc, corresponding to Episode 12 of the anime and Saitama serves as the cover character. In the collected tankobon printing, the material was divided in two, with the earlier half placed in Volume 6 under the separate title Are You Stupid? (Baka ka Omae). The chapter maps to Chapter 39 of the original webcomic.
