Summary

Answering Suiryu's plea, Saitama arrives to rescue him and squares off with Bakuzan. Bakuzan jeers at Saitama and brags about his power, bitterly bringing up an earlier run-in with Charanko that only baffles Saitama. Bakuzan pours on a flurry of strikes to no effect while Saitama racks his memory trying and failing to recall where they met. With no visible effort, he ends Bakuzan's life in one punch. Saitama then introduces himself to Suiryu, who thanks him and warns him about the Monster Association. Learning from Suiryu that Gouketsu was a martial arts master, Saitama sets out after him. Suiryu tries to hold him back but cannot, and remarks that many people will come to rely on Saitama down the line.

Elsewhere, Genos pulls back after being dropped in a single hit by Gouketsu. Not long after, Saitama kills Gouketsu with one punch, and the severed head sails into the stadium to land right in front of Suiryu. Saitama asks the stunned fighter to keep his tournament appearance quiet. Suiryu, now set on becoming a hero, asks Saitama to take him on as a disciple, but Saitama flatly turns him down.
