The sixty-first chapter cuts between the tournament bouts and the sprawling monster raid, as Fubuki confronts Do-S, heroes fall across several cities, and the Monster Association grows confident in its advantage.
As Lin Lin and Lightning Max prepare to face off in the ring, Darkness Blade, Dynamite Man, Saturn Man, and Pandaman take on Do-S elsewhere. Do-S seizes three of the heroes and turns them against Dynamite Man, but the Blizzard Group intervenes, drops Darkness Blade, and squares up to her. Do-S's counterstrike is stopped just short by Fubuki, and after a brief exchange the two begin their duel. In the tournament, Lightning Max beats Lin Lin, and Sour Face explains the concept of a reversed seed to the disguised Saitama, unintentionally goading Zakos into issuing a challenge.
The raid spreads. In W-City, Marshall Gorilla overpowers Heavy Kong, while Lightning Genji keeps battling Electric Catfish Man in D-City. Overwhelmed by two monsters and trying to withdraw to call for backup, Lightning Genji is cut off and slammed into a vending machine. In I-City, Hundred-Eyes Octopus consumes a building before Death Gatling, Butterfly DX, and Bone attempt to hit its blind spot, only to be swiftly beaten. In Y-City, Eyesight paralyzes every hero sent against him. The coordinated strikes plunge Hero Association HQ into chaos, and in V-City, Pureblood declares that the Monster Association has miscalculated by underestimating its own kind and overrating humanity.
Do-S mind-controls several heroes before Fubuki and the Blizzard Group arrive to challenge her. Lightning Max wins his tournament match, and Zakos challenges the disguised Saitama. Across the cities, Marshall Gorilla defeats Heavy Kong, Lightning Genji is beaten down, and heroes fall to Hundred-Eyes Octopus and Eyesight, throwing Hero Association HQ into disarray while Pureblood proclaims the raid a success.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
