Summary

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.

Notes

Saitama and Genos appear on the online cover. A redraw changed a figure originally shown controlled by Do-S into Saturn Man, with Studless instead depicted fighting Eyesight. The chapter belongs to Volume 11 within the Monster Raid Arc and was adapted within Episode 17.
