The fifty-eighth chapter, Giant Insect, splits between Metal Knight entering the monster raid to field-test his weapons and the brutal duel of Metal Bat against Garou. The hero's output surges, yet Garou deflects his finisher and drops him, and the fight ends only when Zenko steps in to invoke her brother's promise, prompting Garou to break off after Watchdog Man.
Summary
Inside the Hero Association, staff debate their options against the wave of monsters. With Mohican and Pineapple pinned down, Metal Knight touches down and pulls the creature's focus, telling the pair to clear out so he can trial his new arsenal. Their retreat runs straight into three additional monsters, all pressing them for information on the sponsors.
Across town, Metal Bat and Garou trade heavy blows. Garou slips past a charge and marvels at how his opponent keeps coming despite mounting wounds, still convinced the hero is finished. Then Metal Bat's speed and power spike without warning, and Garou's counters stop landing. Garou flings a manhole cover, Metal Bat bats it back, and Garou closes the distance during the swing. Metal Bat tackles him toward the returning cover, but Garou snatches it and rains down rapid strikes. Taunted about how long he means to keep going, Metal Bat answers that he fights until he wins and readies a finisher, which Garou deflects before slamming a fist into his chest.
As Metal Bat gathers himself to swing again, his sister's voice stops him cold. Garou seizes the opening and knocks him flat, but Zenko plants herself between them and calls the fight off, reminding her brother of his vow never to brawl in front of her. Garou scoffs at the interruption, then leaves to look for Watchdog Man while watching monsters murmur about turning the Hero Hunter to their benefit.
